Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 255



Remnants of Fanaticism (2)

Pavlen Archwood.

This is a fourth-year graduation preparation class that started a fight with Lennok from the first day he took office as an assistant professor and tried to kill him during a conference trip but lost half of his magic power.

I heard that he had a great reputation among undergraduate students due to his strong background and connections but after the conference he was completely dependent on Lennok.

“what?”

When Lennok asked with a cold expression he hesitated and entered the classroom.

Archwood checked again to make sure no one was listening and spoke with a cautious expression.

“I… I’m talking about what you said earlier…”

Now that I think about it have I ever told him to tell me right away if he thinks something suspicious is happening at the university?

Since he was a member of the graduating class who had a lot of connections and was quick to hear rumors I chose the best way to exploit him.

Archwood’s expression was noticeably depressed perhaps because he was worried that Lennok had not come to school for a while.

“say it.”

“Recently two undergraduate students from the College of Education were expelled. “But the reason was quite unique.”

“For what reason?”

“It is said that the reason for expulsion is suspicion of carrying out a vassal ceremony for the Guido Church.”

“….”

“It appears that he was caught performing a ritual prescribed by the church in the laboratory of the teaching building of the Faculty of Science but the department immediately held a meeting and decided to expel him.”

Although I was looking for remnants of the church to find the magic of the time series I never thought I would hear about traces of it in Labatenon.

If he were to personally carry out the cult’s vassal ceremony he must have been a member equivalent to the level of a formal priest.

Lennok asked tilting his head slightly to the side.

“What is your identity and place of residence? “Is there any way to check?”

“It’s a fairly sensitive issue so all I can say is the name… But maybe Priscilla knows more details.”

“…Priscilla?”

Archwood shrugged his shoulders.

“They said one of the two people expelled was Priscilla’s roommate.”

“….”

I’ve never expected to get anything from Archwood but I never thought I’d get help from him like this.

However Lennok frowned without showing any such expression on the outside.

“That’s all?”

“I found out that the academic department and the mission department were also making a fuss…”

Archwood glanced at Lennok and protested. Lennok chuckled.

“I don’t know where the courage I showed at the conference has gone.”

“….”

If Lennok’s magic manipulation ability was weaker than Archwood’s it would have been if he had some understanding of the magnetic realm at the time.

The two people’s positions could have been completely opposite to what they are now.

Archwood too is just bending his pride right now to get back the magic that was stolen.

If he treats me the way he first treated Lennok that will be enough.

Lennok spoke to Archwood with a cold expression.

“There’s no way you wouldn’t have the connections you have even in the higher grades of the Necromancy Department. “Even if you know the name it’s difficult to determine where you live?”

“Of all the faculties in Labatenon the Department of Spiritual Learning is the place where transfers and leave of absence are the most active. “It is said that there are not only one or two studies that require advance preparation but there are many cases where you are stuck for half a year as you work hard to produce results.”

“….”

It’s not wrong. Didn’t Craig Tillian who was trying to summon some monsters from the open sea using black magic and necromancy prepare for over several months by combining dozens of black magicians and programming and came to the point where he was on the verge of delivering the result?

“Just this month alone more than 10 students have dropped out and more than twice that many have applied for transfer. Because of this it is not common for students from the same undergraduate school to remain close friends.”

“hmm….”

Considering the special nature of the College of Education does this mean that obtaining information will ultimately be limited?

In the end Lennok sent Archwood back with only a threat to further harass him and gather information.

Since we can no longer expect additional information from Archwood it would be better for Lennok to move on his own.

“Priscilla….”

I guess I should say that I was fortunate that he was a student who was well known to Evan.

I guess it doesn’t matter. At this time he is probably in the dormitory so you can ask him right away.

-You mean Priscilla? I went home today because I had work to do. I won’t be back until this weekend.

“….”

Only after hearing the dormitory director’s confused voice did Lennok finally stand up.

“Are there home visits in this world too?”

* * *

A slightly late weekend morning.

After passing through a quiet alley where birds could be heard Lennok lifted up the glasses he was wearing.

Children playing carelessly in a corner of an alley. People walking with their pets.

Even the sight of families sitting in the park and chatting.

At first glance it appears to be an ordinary residential area but for Lennok who knows how meaningless the word security is in this city it feels a little different.

A residential area where people are willing to pay for the invisible value of security.

The quietness of this street located between the busy streets of the 20th district is the result of a lot of money and investment.

It seemed clear that Priscilla was living in a good home environment.

“The address I wrote down was roughly here….”

Standing in front of a two-story house painted light brown Lennok rang the doorbell the front door opened and someone tumbled out.

Something that landed in the yard without notice got up like a zombie scratched its head and opened the gate.

A loose-fitting tank top and wild blue hair. A familiar face with impressive sharp eyes.

Mila a mercenary from the Antares office and acquainted with Lennok was standing there.

“Yo~ Nice to meet you. “Are you our homeroom teacher?”

“….”

When Lennok quietly looked at her face without responding Mila pouted and shook her hand.

“My name is Lyudmila. I’m a mercenary. Oh do wizards hate handshakes? “My hands are clean though.”

Lennok who saw him wiping his hands on his pants while licking his lips quickly put a smile on his face.

“It can’t be. I’m also glad to meet Priscilla’s older sister. “My name is Evan Bylan.”

I never would have guessed that Priscilla’s older sister was Mila.

Although the two people had the same hair color their personalities were so different that I never once thought that they could be related.

That’s probably because Lennok also never thought that the relationship in the shadows and the relationship in the sunshine would overlap.

If you think about it it’s not that strange. If Mila is treated as a main player at the Antares office the income she earns must be considerable.

It’s just that it was difficult to think that that relationship would continue in a place like this with Priscilla.

There’s nothing much to talk about with Mila anyway so just acting as an assistant professor reasonably well would be enough.

Mila casually guided Lennok into the house.

In the spacious living room someone was lying comfortably on the sofa with a towel on his face.

A weak voice came out from somewhere between the animal pajamas and the towel.

“Oh sister… I forgot to tell you. There might be a customer coming later this afternoon. “He said he had something to ask about Fenia…”

“You’re already here?”

“….”

The movement of the pajamas that had been swinging around my legs on the sofa suddenly stopped.

The towel covering her face fell down and the eyes of Priscilla and Lennok who were lying upside down met.

Lennok grinned and waved his hand.

“Nice to meet you Priscilla.”

“Aaaah!!”

It didn’t take long before the house turned upside down with an ear-piercing scream.

“Sister you’re crazy!! “I told you not to let guests in without permission!!”

“No what else… You say you’re a school teacher. Can I leave you standing outside? “If I get a low grade because I’m hated what happens to the tuition I paid with my own money?”

“I’m not that kind of person!!”

Priscilla huffed and ran away to the room.

Lennok laughed as he looked at the large lump on Mila’s head.

“Priscilla is an excellent student in the Department of Elements so you don’t have to worry.”

In fact she recorded a score close to perfect on the water flow theory test in the midterm of Introduction to Elements graded by Lennok and Aris.

This is proof that she is not neglecting to lay the foundation as a wizard. Wasn’t Aris also quite satisfied with Priscilla’s results?

Priscilla was never a student who didn’t want to pay tuition.

“Oh I see. Actually I know but I just said it once.”

She sat down on the sofa picking her nose and took out a beer from the small refrigerator under the table.

She opened the can with one finger took a sip of the beer and then handed it to Lennok.

“Would you like a drink?”

“…because I’m at work.”

“Oh right. sorry.”

She sheepishly licked her lips and took another gulp of beer.

The sound of laughter coming from the TV was soothing the silence.

When Priscilla didn’t come out Mila twisted her body with an awkward expression.

Lennok knew from the beginning that she was the type of person who couldn’t stand this kind of atmosphere but she wouldn’t be like that.

Unable to bear it she opened her mouth again.

“He must be a very talented person to be an assistant professor at Labatenon.”

“It’s very lacking.”

When Lennok spat out empty words Mila grinned.

“That wouldn’t be possible. You are very humble. “Are other wizards like this too?”

“….”

When Lennok closed his mouth to a question that was difficult to answer Priscilla realized her mistake and slightly lowered her head.

“Oh I’m sorry. Actually since I’m a mercenary I’ve met a few wizards… but truly skilled wizards are rare.”

“okay.”

“Of course among my friends there is one guy who is truly a genius but he is the type of person who is very unlucky.”

“….”

Is it an illusion that I feel like I can somehow tell who Mila is talking about?

Mila completely oblivious to Lennok’s thoughts began to grumble while holding a beer in her hand.

“He’s a guy who waves his hands around with an expression that says he can do anything but he actually does it so I can’t say anything. He always says things that are difficult to refute. “I think all smart people are like that.”

“If you are such an excellent person I would like to meet you.”

When Lennok said something with a smile Mila also giggled but drew a clear line.

“Oh but it’s hard not to talk to that kid.”

“…I guess so.”

Only then did Mila realize that the conversation had become a bit of a mess and licked her lips.

“sorry. I talked about this on and off by myself. “I recently heard that he started a business but I couldn’t get in touch with him so I talked to him about it behind his back.”

“no. it’s okay.”

Lennok also nodded obediently.

I was wondering what he was going to say when he wasn’t around but at this level it was no different from cuteness.

As he had not seen his face in person since the Arashak Exploration Team Lennok was able to understand it to some extent.

“Maybe if I contact that friend he will be happy to meet me… and welcome me.”

“yes?”

“yes.”

While Lennok was brushing off drunken Mila’s questions the door opened and Priscilla appeared.

She sat across from Mila wearing a neat shirt and pants and let out a small sigh as soon as she smelled the alcohol.

But instead of saying anything to Mila she turned her head straight towards Lennok.

“Assistant Professor Evan.”

“Priscilla. “I’m sorry for this weekend.”

“no. “I have something to talk about regarding Fenia… If it’s okay would you like to take a seat?”

“no. it’s okay. “It would be okay if you were Priscilla’s guardian.”

Even when Priscilla saw Mila bringing out a beer in the presence of a customer she didn’t say anything.

Isn’t this because the desire to not nag her older sister takes precedence over being polite right now?

Although Lennok had only seen a very small side of the sisters he could quickly guess that the two had a pretty good relationship.

Even if they hear sensitive information there is a high probability that they will keep it a secret.

“So you can stop pretending to be drunk now. “It’s not like there’s anything wrong with Priscilla.”

Isn’t the reason Mila deliberately pretends to be drunk and stays here because she wants to hear what Sheila will say?

“….”

Mila’s slightly relaxed eyes came into focus and her slightly smiling expression changed to expressionless.

She who was lying down on the sofa tilted her head slightly forward and said.

“Our wizard… he’s very perceptive. Or was my acting too clumsy?”

“I just thought there was no way a mercenary could get drunk from just one can of beer.”

Lennok answered leisurely.

“…I see. “It certainly makes sense.”

dump!

Mila stood up and said her eyes flashing.

“So much so that it seems closer to this industry than to a wizard.”

“….”

In an instant a sharp sense of tension flows around.

Just as Priscilla noticed and was about to step forward to resolve the situation Lennok spoke first.

“Should there be only naive wizards in a place run directly by the city government?”

At the same time Dabi appeared on his shoulder crouched with his front paws and released a powerful wave of electricity.

I’m so tired…!!!

The jamming waves emitted by the lightning spirit instantly cover the mansion and disable only certain equipment.

Looking at Mila whose expression had changed into a bewildered expression Lennok smiled while resting his chin.

“So I need to turn off the security recording equipment for a while and talk about something a little more sensitive.”

As a mercenary it is natural for Mila to install a recording device in her home to prepare for intruders.

“…Do you know how many million cells it cost to install that thing?”

Mila’s voice was slightly tearful as she responded like that.

“If it’s a trivial business you’d better be prepared.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. “It’s something that the Guido Church is involved in.”

“…!!”

Looking at the two sisters’ dramatically changed expressions Lennok immediately got to the point.

Aris’s absence. Emergence of denominations. Expulsion that appears intentional.

Maybe there isn’t that much time.

This matter needed to be handled as quickly as possible.
