Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 204



Clue(1)

[Ask for time?]

“Yes.”

[Hahaha!!]

Virgil lowered his head in silence at the sound of laughter coming from beyond the spacious screen.

[It’s been quite a while since I heard something like that from you. It reminds me of the old days.]

“The blade Zenith prepared looks sharper than I thought. “If we move hastily we may incur big losses here.”

[That makes sense.]

Fluffy.

I could hear the sound of the alcohol in the glass shaking.

[Unless the other person is a child who was making a living by working as a broker not long ago.]

“….”

[I understand that the last child Kaise left behind was a little less than 30 years old. That’s not even half the time we spent on this floor. Isn’t that right?]

Virgil slowly raised his head at those words and looked at the screen.

On the other side of the screen was a gorgeous swimming pool spread out under the wide night sky.

Dozens of young men and women playing with loud music at the bottom of the pool.

And a woman looks down at them from the top of the pool holding a drink.

[As I get older I really like seeing young kids running around like this.]

The head of the cartel quietly put down the hand holding his drink.

[When I see things that can’t live for even a hundred years at best burning with passion as if the present is everything in the world I think that what I hope for has no meaning.]

“You’ve changed a lot.”

[Virgil. Do you remember how many years we have been working together?]

“…It hasn’t leaked in over 30 years.”

The head of the cartel and Virgil maintain a youthful appearance on the outside but their age has long surpassed their appearance.

Raising one’s level to that extent and approaching transcendence is accompanied by a long period of time and asceticism.

Unless you have an overwhelming talent that transcends time there will eventually come a time when you have to rely on the gradual increase in magical power for your development potential.

[More than 50 years have passed since the moment when the old men of the city council became greedy beyond their means. Nothing has happened since we agreed to share the shadow of this city.]

A faint smile was mixed in the woman’s voice.

[I thought even the little regrets I had left were fading away… But now everything is starting to change. It’s ironic.]

“….”

[If only we were finally given a reason to move… Virgil. What do you want to do?]

“Why don’t you just do whatever you want?”

Virgil answered with an indifferent expression.

“As always I’m just following behind. “The other cartel bosses probably think so too.”

[Follow behind… Yes that’s right.]

The woman who was shaking her glass in silence nodded.

[You are right. It’s too late but now we have to find out what legacy Kaise was planning to leave to her granddaughter.]

The woman’s voice which was shaking aimlessly became infinitely cold.

[The beginning and end of the Black Consumer Project. What is the secret that stopped the old people from coveting the secret art of immortality? Did Kaise know the answer?]

It was too big a secret to leave to a granddaughter who wasn’t even born yet.

Isn’t it because Zenith has survived until now because that possibility was ruled out?

But instead of countering those words Virgil quietly lowered his head.

“Everything will go according to your will.”

[Don’t make me wait too long. If it’s not you I’ll send another boss. I’m very curious about how Kaise’s granddaughter grew up…]

“What is a territory?”

“….”

At the question asked by Aris who was staring blankly out the window Lennok put down the book he was holding.

Balkan City Central Library 8th floor.

This place where sunlight comes in warmly from the huge floor-to-ceiling glass is full of magic books and papers but it is a strange space that wizards rarely enter.

People who are illiterate about magic tend to avoid this place and those who know some magic tend to go to places with more specialized theories and books.

This goes without saying especially after the Labatenon University Library was opened to the public.

Unless you are a cool newbie who knows nothing about this world or a geek who looks through all the existing papers just in case there is no reason to visit this library.

It had been quite a while since the two met again here.

After Lennok officially took office as an assistant professor there was virtually no reason to continue meeting at the library.

Discussing each other’s theories on each other’s theories was enough to be done in the lab and as Lennok became busier with work as a class there was no need to visit the library either.

That is until Lennok’s paper had a bigger impact than expected.

“If you ask me that it won’t be of much help.”

“why?”

“Why?… In fact isn’t the magnetic field a field only allowed to geniuses who have reached the 6th and 7th levels?”

Developing the area of ​​self-reflection is purely dependent on talent and inclination but if you dig deep into that ability regardless of whether it is simply developed or not the story is different.

Not only is it directly related to the imagery that is fundamentally inherent within the magician.

This is because it often embodies the most intimate and secret memories.

Therefore among the papers currently published in academic societies there were not many cases that dealt in depth with the magnetic field.

In the end in order to conduct full-scale research into the realm of magnetism the magician’s most secret images had to be revealed.

No one whether a magician writing a paper or a magician conducting research wants his or her domain to be revealed.

It is understandable that Aris who never neglects research and training has difficulty finding direction.

As someone who had run faster than anyone else along the existing path she was experiencing growing pains at this point where she had to build her own image.

Of course Lennok was not in a different situation either so he played it off with a calm expression.

“For a wizard like me who already handles elemental magic it is completely unknown territory. “I don’t think listening to my opinion will be of much help but…”

“no.”

Aris shook her head at Lennok’s words.

“I was convinced after seeing Lennok’s paper. Lennok’s theoretical insight is completely different from existing wizards.”

“…yes?”

“The paper Lennok wrote. I don’t know what you think but it’s like explaining the change in magical power achieved by level 6 wizards from a completely different perspective. Compatibility between lightning-type magical power and electromagnetic waves. In other words it means a change in the nature of magical power from a physical perspective.”

“….”

“That is why it is a constant topic of discussion in academic circles and why Lennok is not under much suspicion. In fact this is-”

“Because everyone thinks that this is a paper that can never be written without going directly to level 6… Are you saying that?”

Aris nodded quietly.

Her eyes deep and blue as the sea were shining vividly.

“Lenok. Your theoretical talents look beyond the realm of mere wizardry. Maybe the reason I learned spirit magic was because of my unique way of thinking which is completely different from other wizards.”

“….”

“It may be presumptuous to say this but I need that unique way of thinking. “I know Lennok is cautious about expressing his opinions but even a wild guess would be very helpful.”

“You want to make a statement that can break the mold of thinking. “It can definitely help you gain a different perspective.”

Lennok smiled bitterly.

Now that I think about it I feel like I should have taken more things into consideration when choosing a topic when writing my thesis.

At that time I was just planning to write a thesis on a theme suitable for an elementalist and receive recognition for my achievements but I never would have thought that the understanding of changes in the nature of magical power would be mixed into the thesis thereby avoiding suspicion.

You could say it was luck but it wasn’t something Lenno had planned or intended.

‘But in the end is it beneficial to talk about Aris and the magnetic realm?’

Just as Aris is having difficulty retaining images in the magnetic field Lennok is also facing a similar problem.

However what Lennok is thinking about is not the difficulty of capturing imagery itself…

“It’s good to put an image in the self-reflection area but how about thinking about what happens after that?”

“What does that mean?”

“Didn’t you say that your ability in that area is determined depending on what image is imprinted in that area?”

Lennok said.

“Then it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start backwards from what kind of skills you want. Even if you succeed at image imprinting and reach level 7 it will be a problem if your domain abilities do not help much.”

“….”

Aris blinked her eyes in silence.

It must be something difficult for her to think about.

Instead of worrying about how to project images into the domain worry about whether the domain’s abilities will not be helpful once you reach level 7.

In fact to others it would be no different from an arrogant statement that worries about success that has not yet occurred.

But that’s exactly what Lennok was worried about about the magnetic field.

Lennok has already seen Grisha’s self-reflection area ‘South Mando Coast Guard’ twice in the Dominion and confirmed how it operates.

The landscape she captured in the shaman’s realm is her hometown which has now disappeared. A scene of a burnt-out jungle.

It was a landscape of memories and images that formed the basis of the shaman named Grisha.

Lennoc saw it and had an intuition that capturing the image itself was not that difficult for him.

The talent to completely control one’s thoughts and mind.

From his perspective as he has developed all the talents necessary for a wizard to the limit it is not difficult to force him to give priority to his inner feelings.

So this is what Lennok is fundamentally concerned about.

It was a question of what abilities would be contained in the area when an image was selected and projected into the magnetic area.

“It is best to create an environment optimized for the techniques you use. If not it would be desirable to at least have abilities or additional effects that are helpful in battle. Or it could be helpful to the level or research direction you are pursuing… or if even that doesn’t work in a way that can compensate for your shortcomings.”

“that. okay.”

“There are many things you can think of but there is also the possibility that things will not work out the way you want. In the end no one can guarantee that the techniques and imagery one uses will be fundamentally the same. Aris handles a variety of elemental spells but you can’t be sure that your propensity is focused on a specific propensity like lightning or ice.”

Aris looked up with a blank expression at Lennok who was absentmindedly reciting a problem he had been thinking about.

Lennok didn’t notice those stares and rested his chin in thought.

“How a specific memory or landscape determines an area’s abilities cannot be confirmed in a single case. In the end it would be best to increase the number of samples by checking a few more areas of other magicians but if you can’t get much help in that area it would be better….”

“…Lenok?”

“….”

That’s right.

In the end it was a problem that Grisha’s South Mando Coast Guard could not be certain about so Lennok was worried like this.

It was thought that it would be better to clash with another wizard and check the opponent’s territory and scenery abilities directly.

Therefore Lennok was not reluctant about this conflict with the cartel.

An organization of that size would undoubtedly have powerful magicians.

As Jenny’s business grows if we kill them one by one one day we will definitely…

“Lenok!!”

Percussion!

“…!!!”

Lennok suddenly raised his head when he felt a strong tap on his shoulder.

Aris who was sitting on the other side of the desk suddenly came up to him and lowered his head.

“are you okay?”
