Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 338



Standard of Strength (1)

Open the wide door of the conference room and step inside.

Slam!!

A spacious lobby that occupies the largest space of the mansion.

Beneath the lights illuminating the hall there was a spacious table that could easily seat twenty people.

Lennok quickly looked at the people sitting at the table behind Evelyn.

The seats are already more than half full. Superhumans of all kinds are gathering among themselves and talking.

“Evan.”

Lapis who was sitting inside recognized Lennok and raised her hand.

“….”

Grisha standing with his arms crossed next to the innermost seat of the table where Lapis is sitting.

And even the five superhumans who were seated at the head table near Lapis.

All of them are level 7 Abilities who have completed the hierarchy. It appears that he has already completed self-transformation to a significant extent and pioneered new ground.

If you include Lennok and Evelyn who just arrived the number is a whopping seven.

In terms of size and prestige alone the number is comparable to the presidents and high-ranking directors of the triumvirate cartel.

This means that if we lead them to the shadowy part of the huge city right now we might be able to occupy the vacant position of the Three Heads and take charge of one of the pillars of the shadowy area.

The fact that not all observers had even been summoned to this force amazed Lennok.

Descendants of Heavenly Gyeon subdue the drug lord who is the opponent of the Battle of Bokma.

If we put these three causes at the forefront and bring in talent from all over is it possible to grow an organization in such a short period of time?

I just accepted it because it was in front of me as a result and it wasn’t difficult to guess how much effort Lapis put into building up this level of power in the process.

Evelyn naturally chose two empty seats near Lapis and sat down with Lennok.

“….”

The expressions of other observers changing as they watched the scene.

Lennok turned his head towards Lapis while observing the change in expression.

“It’s a little late. sorry.”

“No it’s okay. “You came at the right time.”

Lapis who was sitting at the head table inside answered.

Grisha responded as if continuing Lapis’ words.

“Lapis Evangeline sent us final notice that she will not be able to make it on time. “Jillian lost contact with me and that witch doctor outright rejected me.”

“In the end not a single person of extreme ability gathered here.”

The muscular giant with his arms crossed muttered with a sour expression on his face.

“We must break through the Ascendant’s Realm with just the people gathered here Lapis. Are you really confident?”

“This is not the only operation that the Blue House is looking at. “I expected from the beginning that it would be difficult to forcefully summon the maximum force for an external mission.”

Lapis nodded with a stern expression.

“It took a month to draw the barrier map for Ascendant ‘Jindun’ Xigis Ethernor. Judging by the concentration of magical energy dissipating from the snowfield it was only one day until the road to the canyon was opened. “Now is the time to share all the information gathered from all over the snowy plains and set a new direction.”

“It’s a barrier….”

Lapis turned her gaze to Lennok’s muttering and nodded.

“yes. With Evan coming everything is ready. “The strategy meeting will begin now.”

“Before that there’s something I want to say briefly.”

As soon as Lapis finished speaking the one who raised his hand was one of the five Aspect Powers sitting at the head table.

It is a woman with dull brown hair and a languid expression.

Wearing a long long sword she noticed all the eyes focused on her and immediately gestured to one side with her chin.

Directly towards Lennok who was sitting diagonally across from her.

“Don’t you think we need to explain more about this friend before we go into the meeting?”

“Jiel what does that mean?”

A woman called G.L. rested her chin on the table and nodded.

“I know that you are capable of killing a drug lord by yourself. But I don’t think that alone is enough to say for sure whether he’s a trustworthy guy.”

“….”

A straightforward tone of voice that reveals doubts directly.

In an instant the conference room fell silent.

“At that time I was also on an external mission so I have nothing to say but things are a little different now.”

As Ziel said that he looked straight into Lennok’s expressionless eyes.

“I heard you haven’t even become an official watcher yet? “More than two years have passed since a drug lord ran rampant in the Dominion so how can I trust a friend who has been pretending to be a gray molecule and have my back?”

Judging from what he said he was already a Holy Spirit ability who was acting as a watcher at the time Lennok visited the Dominion.

It was understandable that unlike those who joined the Blue House in the wake of the drug lord suppression incident GL was in a position to raise such questions.

“….”

Before answering Lennok quietly observed the reactions of other observers.

Most people want to watch the situation. Lapis turned her gaze to Lennok before answering.

We believe that the first priority is to confirm Lennok’s intention regarding this agenda.

And only after seeing her reaction did Lennok feel like he could guess what Lance was worried about.

If Lennok tried to intervene in Lapis’ decision-making here she would listen to him without much hesitation.

As such intangible interventions accumulate little by little even Lapis who has led the organization wisely so far may become blind.

To be honest Lennok had no intention of interfering or paying much attention to how the Blue Eyes organization itself was changing.

I was aware that this was an opportunity to distinguish at once what tendencies and thoughts the observers gathered here had.

It would actually be more helpful for her not to come forward now.

Lennok smiled at that judgment and slowly shook his head.

“….”

Lapis who immediately understood the gesture frowned slightly but kept her mouth shut without saying anything.

Instead he simply began to stare at the other observers sitting in the conference room with slightly cold gaze.

The other governors who did not notice the intentions of the leader who began to coldly evaluate them began to exchange opinions one by one belatedly.

“I think what Jiel says makes sense.”

“We need at least one more skilled person. “Wouldn’t it be better to discuss trust after the matter is over?”

“You mean it’s an agenda that could cause problems?”

“I didn’t know Evan would say anything about participating in this operation.”

The person who answered those words was not Lapis but the young boy sitting across from Ziel.

Despite his outward appearance the boy with an impressive mature voice said with a smile.

“If Lapis trusts and follows me like that I think he must have shown a certain level of skill or behavior.”

G.L. who had never said anything before raising the topic also reacted for the first time to the boy’s answer.

“…Creon.”

“Or are you saying that people who hate Evan won’t believe our lighthouse keeper’s eyes?”

“Don’t push me away. “You know that’s not what I meant right?”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became divided.

Rather than rejecting Lennok there are a significant number of people who want to follow Lapis’s wishes.

When Lapis respects Lennok’s wishes and stands by instead of controlling the situation different opinions begin to clash sharply.

The number of level 7 Aspect Powers gathered here now is as many as seven. Excluding Grisha who cannot move in order to maintain the floating island this is the level of power.

If we were to consider only the number of level 7 superhumans their power would be comparable to that of the Three Head Spirits who reign as the rulers of the shadowy areas of the great city.

Even if Lapis had excellent leadership and character it was almost impossible to lead such a large group without saying a word.

Even in that cartel the bosses are divided and run the organization in their own way.

Nevertheless the reason why it was possible to muster a force on this scale was probably because there were many people who were attracted to the special situation of the ascendant’s movement and the goal of the Blue Eye.

If only the destination you are looking at is the same and what you pursue in the process is different this is bound to happen.

The first to demonstrate her skills was Evelyn who was sitting next to Lennok with her arms crossed.

As soon as you lightly press the table with your palm the magic that spreads through it passes through the necks of other observers and disappears.

A moment when everyone inadvertently turned their gaze to that chilling sensation.

She looked around with an expressionless face and said.

“I want Evan to participate in this operation. “I think it’s natural considering his skills and contributions to date.”

“….”

“Rather from my point of view I don’t really understand the position of those who are against it. “Aren’t you under the illusion that the operation has already been successful?”

Her cold words made the conference room quiet again.

Anyway she has been carrying out various operations with other observers in the snowy field for nearly a month.

Everyone here understands Evelyn’s skills and temperament.

The meaning of the palace of a huge city actively protecting Evan. From here on those who oppose it will have to prepare for action beyond conversation.

Immediately other reactions began to emerge.

“Are you saying you’re going to have a talent show? “Then I’d like to join in.”

Woooo!!

The man sitting across from Evelyn raised his magic power at the same time as Evelyn.

Heavy build and broad shoulders. But what catches your eye first is that the entire head takes the shape of a dog.

He looked at Evelyn with dark eyes streaming down his face and grinned.

“I wanted to fight you at least once… Shall we have a fight without the blade?”

“Come on. “I will make your whole body into a cannon fodder for arrows.”

Evelyn with a cold smile and the dog-headed giant with black eyes stood up from their seats and the conference room instantly became noisy.

An image of observers divided into two opinions centered on two Aspect Powers glaring at each other.

Lennok did not respond just resting his chin on the table and watching the situation unfold.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Lapis taking notice and reaching out to one side of the table.

A bundle of vegetables that Evelyn put down as she stood up. I briefly picked up some of the root pieces I had collected from the snowfield and fed to Lennok.

Was I curious about what it tasted like? With a slightly expectant face Lapis put the root in her mouth and munched on it.

“….”

Lapis’ calm face changed into an expression that made it impossible to tell whether she was smiling or crying.

Lennoc barely suppressed his laughter and turned his gaze back to the viewers.

For and against. And bystanders who observe the situation without intervening anywhere.

The observers who exchange opinions are roughly categorized and divided into three tendencies.

Suddenly a relaxed voice rang out from the table across from me.

“For someone involved in this agenda he seems very relaxed.”

The volume was so exquisite that only Lennok could barely hear it. Naturally I turned my head that way.

A young man with a cold expression looking at us with red eyes. The way he leans loosely on the chair gives off a feeling of some kind of languor.

Level 7 Aspect Powers gathered here. Lennok laughed at the words of the young man who had not said a word until now.

“I guess you have something you want to say.”

“You just deliberately stopped Lapis from mediating the situation. “What is your intention?”

“….”

I never would have thought that there would be someone who caught the intention of that glance in that short period of time. Despite his extremely annoyed expression he has a keen eye for attention.

I thought Evelyn might have figured it out but I never thought this man would ask about it first.

Lennok quickly gathered his thoughts and asked casually.

“Is it because you noticed that that you didn’t intervene?”

“no. “That’s not it.”

The young man responded with a sour expression and sank down on the chair.

“If I intervene the balance will tip.”

“Hoo.”

“Wouldn’t that be too boring for you and me?”

A lot of confidence. But Lennok thought this lazy-looking young man deserved what he said.

Even though unrefined magical energy was flowing carelessly the pressure was considerable.

Moreover if he was able to secretly read Lennok and Lapis’s wishes and ask them back it was proof that he was not just a person with excellent military skills.

‘How should I answer….’

It is not very helpful to say that confusion was abetted in order to understand the tendencies of the viewers.

Since you don’t know which side the other person is on you will have to give an answer that seems to be for the sake of the organization.

“In order to become an organization worthy of opposing Pandemonium we will ultimately have to follow a similar path as them.”

“….”

“Even if you have a big direction in mind there is no need to kill individual opinions or individuality. Rather it would be desirable to turn a blind eye to internal conflicts and checks in this way.”

“Hmm….”

The head of the young man who was lying limp in the chair was tilted to one side.

“That’s a much more interesting answer than I thought.”

As he looked at Lennok his eyes instantly turned bright red.

At the same time the fishy scent of blood flows out. I had a rough guess but it was clearly a vampire.

“You don’t think so?”

“No rather than that… you are the one who casually says that you will catch up with those monsters.”

At the same time sharp magical power leaks out from his body.

“The more people know about Pandemonium the less likely they are to say things like that. “Do you know that the King of Ming destroyed a city just a few days ago?”

“He is the famous king….”

“They say the land was full of distorted traces as if a meteor shower had fallen. Even if you face and kill a monster of the same level 8 there is no proper information about what technique was used.”

The young man continued speaking while carefully observing Lennok’s expression.

“Normally you don’t hope to overcome or win against such monsters… unless you have a very strong motivation. For example emotions such as resentment or revenge…”

“Revenge.”

Lennok laughed.

“Is that your experience?”

“…It’s not a good thing to talk about in a place like this. Okay then let’s do it like this.”

The young man who had lifted himself up from the chair grinned and began to warm up.

“Let’s take their side and put an end to the current situation. Instead why don’t you tell me why you came up with that twisted idea?”

“Not bad.”

I don’t know the details but it was clear that he was very interested in Lennok’s words about fighting the Pandemonium.

If the young man takes Lennok’s side at this point the division of opinion among the observers will be easily resolved.

But Lennok even though he clearly guessed that fact smiled and shook his head.

“But there is no need. “I was also planning to sort out the situation soon.”

“…what?”

I slowly raised my magic power.

“The sound of the words is so loud that it’s annoying to the ears.”

Phew!!!

At that moment the magical energy flowing from Lennok’s body crushed the air in the conference room from above.
