Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 236



Training(3)

“To be precise we pursue an overly balanced defensive and defensive battle.”

There was silence.

“Of course I don’t want to find fault with that itself. On the contrary even though he is a wizard I highly value his courage in not hesitating to win at close range… However you must always be careful about the way you plan the outcome of a battle and then adjust the process accordingly.”

“that….”

Determines the outcome of the battle. Lennok wanted to ask what that meant but found himself unable to speak.

That’s probably because Lennok himself knows what that means.

Evelyn nodded as if she knew that.

“I’ve been hit a few times over the past few days so I have a general idea. “Do you always decide how to finish off your opponent?”

“….”

“To be precise it would be to determine a winning method based on the opponent’s compatibility and pattern and precisely design the process.”

She continued while Lennok remained silent.

“I don’t quite understand what it means to foresee the battle in that way on a battlefield where lives are at stake… but it is also true that I can sense both tactical judgment and strategic insight in your fighting style.”

Her green eyes shine infinitely transparent. As if trying to see through his inner thoughts.

“In other words it means that you can use even your life as a hand in order to win. “At a moment when death is just a hair away from you can you be sure that your judgment will not be tilted toward victory rather than life?”

Not equating victory with survival. Defeat and death do not stand on the same line.

For Lennok who has always thought of these two things together when fighting Evelyn brings up the topic in a completely different way.

The fact that defeat in battle does not necessarily lead to death and victory does not necessarily lead to survival.

That is probably one of the conclusions that Evelyn has drawn after passing through countless battlefields and competing with superhumans of a similar level to herself.

Evelyn who saw Lennok’s stiff expression relaxed her expression slightly and patted his shoulder.

“Actually this is not advice for wizards. Because I have never seen anyone as gifted with both magical talent and warrior senses as you. However if you do not recognize in advance the moment when you will use your capabilities to the limit you may ultimately make a misjudgment in battle with a strong enemy that exceeds your capabilities.”

“…Okay I understand what you mean.”

“If even now when we can’t fight against each other with all our might the game is decided by just a single point it won’t be difficult to imagine what will happen if we cross this line. “Should we stop here for today?”

After saying that Evelyn smiled stretched refreshedly and turned around.

Lennok remained silent and watched her back as she walked towards the group waiting in the distance.

I still don’t think his method is wrong.

If Lennok hadn’t thought and acted this way he wouldn’t be standing where he is right now.

Isn’t it because of Lennok’s perfection which borders on obsession that he was able to rise to his current position overcoming numerous powerful enemies and enemies?

If it weren’t for his abnormal obsession with victory and his belief that it would lead to his survival Lennok’s hierarchy would never have been completed.

However it is also true that I am confident that I acknowledge and understand to some extent the topics that Evelyn talks about.

Sometimes at moments when he had to choose defeat in order to survive Lennok was not confident that he would be able to make the right decision.

If you have equated victory and survival all your life as Lennok if you already have a way to win that you have understood and felt with your head and whole body.

Which direction will Lennok’s magic move towards against a powerful enemy that surpasses its limits?

It’s even more difficult to understand because it’s not a problem you just have to think about with your head.

The image of a superman who has completed the hierarchy has already gone far beyond the realm of simple will or change of mind.

Reaching the end of self-transformation means that all changes as a human being have been completed.

In order to go beyond that the only way is to break the already completed framework.

Lennok sensed that this was probably one of the countless crossroads that existed even between level 7.

All Evelyn did was show Lennok the option rather quickly and clearly.

“The reward for this incident is more than enough….”

Even without her help Lennok might have faced this problem someday.

However Lennok did not feel that bad about having a second teacher after Aris.

With a bitter smile Lennok also took a step forward.

A group of people who had settled down after lighting a bonfire were waving at him.

* * *

After training with Evelyn Lennok blends in with the group and rummages through the luggage he brought with him.

The books I brought back from the cartel’s executive safe just before leaving for the trip.

Although these are items I picked up in a hurry there is no problem as I can stop by again at any time as long as I have been approved for access.

What is important is the content of the book itself. On the cover of the old book [Liberation Taoist Art] and [Judo Gate] were written in an old-fashioned font.

It was a time when the cartel was just establishing its foundation as an organization. Farden McQueen wrote a book about his techniques and stored it in a safe so that it could be used by his juniors.

However as it was a technique used by monks in Gosan it was so difficult and had so many rumors that it was abandoned without anyone who could easily learn it.

Moreover if you are a person skilled enough to access the executives’ treasury you will have already established your own style so it is natural that there is no result.

‘But from my perspective it’s a completely different story…’

Regardless of Parden McQueen’s skills the techniques he used such as the summons Arzumarta and Taeokrak remained strong in Lennok’s mind.

In particular the barrier technique using the main gate is at a fairly excellent level even from Lennok’s perspective.

By studying these I might be able to add another branch to Lennok’s magic system.

‘Although barrier techniques are subject to a lot of conditions there are many ways to utilize them. It may help stabilize the magnetic field and increase efficiency.’

I was lost in thought while flipping through the book.

‘But since it uses a completely different power source than magical power it seems difficult to substitute magic for magic…’

It is not for nothing that other cartel executives did not try his hand at his techniques.

This is because the magic system that uses a power called sword power which is different from magic is different from the magic that Lennok knows in terms of how it works.

It’s like Lennok didn’t get much inspiration even after seeing Grisha’s magic.

In the end didn’t the Dominion also look over her shoulder and learn only about triggers and areas that increase power by looking at her techniques and placing conditions on them?

It is common sense to think that what Lennok can take away from McQueen’s technique is in that category.

While I was lost in thought I heard other people talking next to me.

“So if you deploy your magical power in this way…”

“No no matter how much I think about that direction it’s not a good idea. “How likely is it that the opponent will avoid that direction?”

“You can just corner your opponent like you did…”

“So thinking that anyone can do that…”

Agents having a heated discussion in front of a bonfire.

When they first started their journey they did their best to assist Lennok and Evelyn by quietly carrying out their own tasks without much conversation.

Seeing the two people sparring every evening they too seemed to have been inspired by something and were discussing training and fighting methods.

It was quite an unfamiliar scene for Lennok but he could roughly understand why this had happened.

It was quite common to gain inspiration or breakthrough in a specific area just by watching the battles of those of a higher level than oneself.

In particular one of the agents who followed this time was said to be a manipulation-type wizard so he must have felt a lot while watching Lennok’s fighting style.

While taking a break after dinner.

Lennok smiled faintly as he looked at the agents who were talking among themselves then got up and started their own mock training.

Evelyn who was cutting and eating grilled onions next to him opened her mouth.

“They don’t say it but everyone respects you.”

“….”

“He really likes the way you fight. “It’s not for nothing that we sat down at the negotiating table with the cartel with the power of just one freelancer.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. “For those friends this moment itself is like an opportunity.”

With a slightly sleepy expression she finished processing the green onions left on the grill and lightened her mouth with beer.

“In a huge city it is difficult for strong people of level 7 or higher to move easily and it is also difficult to watch strong people of that level fight in person. “It gave me unexpectedly valuable experience.”

“Still there must be quite a few talented people who are directly under the city government.”

“Don’t even talk. Do you know how closely the factions are divided even there? We’re so busy keeping each other in check that there’s nothing to move sleep or do. You can’t do anything because you’re bound by all kinds of regulations and regulations. Agents have some freedom in the name of managing the undercover side but in return they have to take more risks than other departments.”

Instead of answering Lennok shook his head.

Evelyn casually says that being an agent is difficult but she knows that she carries a great deal of responsibility and a sense of justice.

This is proven by the fact that even though there are many people and organizations in the world who would want someone with her level of skill and rare archery skills she still remains at the agency and is working hard to keep the city government safe.

The fact that she tries to fulfill her duties even though she has sufficient strength and qualifications is proof that her nature itself is not limited by good or evil.

Since he is a person who can live without the law does he actually understand the value of order and work hard to protect it?

If so is Eveline Marcia really an enemy in Cheong’s eyes?

“….”

The reason Lennok requested combat training with Evelyn was not simply to improve his own skills and find problems.

It was judged that there were not many opportunities to spend a considerable amount of time with someone as talented as her and hear their inner thoughts.

While listening to the story about the Green Jewel Archer mentioned in Grisha’s words I was thinking of wondering if she really joined the Eye of Blue.

It wasn’t as easy as I thought.

To ask that directly you would have to start by revealing that Van and Evan Bylan are the same person.

Otherwise we would have to encourage her to talk about Cheong’s eyes but would someone with as much responsibility as her slip away so easily?

As Lennok has to take some risks he cannot be sure that she will keep the secret.

In the end Lennok and Evelyn are in fundamentally different positions.

If she hears Lennok’s confession and decides that there is an element of danger in the Balkans will she be able to keep the secret?

Although he thought he had sufficiently interacted with Evelyn Marcia Lennok was not confident.

In the end you don’t know what a person prioritizes until the very last moment.

Like McQueen an apostate monk who longed for the temple he had left all his life but believed otherwise.

“Whoa….”

While he was deep in thought Lennok turned his head when he saw a glance at him from the side.

Evelyn’s cheeks are turning reddish as if she’s had just how many glasses of beer she’s had.

Or maybe it’s just the flames from the bonfire that make her face turn red.

She looked up at Lennok with a slightly tilted face and muttered absently.

“It would be great if you joined my agent….”

“Pretend you didn’t hear.”

“These aren’t empty words.”

“….”

As Lennok closed his mouth Evelyn also slightly turned her head.

“…I just tried it. “The city government’s orders are unusual these days.”

“Are you saying that the scope of work is rapidly expanding?”

“There is that but… these days I feel like this work is not expanding but is simply being pushed out to the outskirts.”

She said with a slightly intoxicated expression.

Lennok naturally looked around.

Instead of other agents they are busy doing their own training at night and there are only two people around the widely lit bonfire.

Lennok was the only one around to hear her muttering to herself.

“I’m not very interested in factional fights but it means that someone is taking over the work we were handling in the central region.”

“….”

“This may mean that other departments that have been bound by regulations until now may move… Is the city really trying to change?”

“Does this mean that the scope of movement that was restricted to those in direct control of the city government will be expanded?”

“It’s not impossible.”

Evelyn quietly lowered her head.

“But not all people who work directly under the city government are good guys… Moreover if the regulations are relaxed powerful people who were tied to dinosaur companies aristocratic families or clans will start to move around freely so it won’t be like it is now.”

“that….”

“I don’t know what the old people on the council are thinking. “It seems like he’s still talking annoying nonsense at the hearing and plotting something sneaky behind the scenes.”

“….”

Instead of saying anything Lennok decided to just listen to her.

She probably didn’t say this hoping for a clear solution either.

He’s just throwing his pointless complaints into the bonfire out of sight of his subordinates.

The fact that Lennok was the opponent was just a coincidence.

Maybe I’ve built up inner intimacy by going through high-level training over the past few days in a row.

If I make good use of this atmosphere I might be able to get the answer Lennoc wants… But Lennok decided to quit today.

In this meadow where each other’s true intentions are unknown at least the advice Evelyn gave to Lennok was filled with sincerity and concern.

Lennok also wanted to be sincere to Evelyn at least to that extent.

The day is getting dark.

Efforts and sincerity that could not be reached were echoing and fading into the warm night sky.

The climate gradually gets hotter the farther you get from the Balkans.

It was a sign that the volcanic area was approaching.
