Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 388



Qualifications of an assistant professor (2)

“Therefore improving understanding of the system and properties in the process of converting pure elemental magic is…”

A cold-hearted look as if not a single drop of blood would come out even if pricked.

Cold expression and firm tone of voice. An appearance that seems perfectly suited to teaching students strictly as an educator.

Lennok was leaning at the back of the classroom with Cassia looking down at Vayla teaching the students.

“how is it?”

Cassia slowly turned her head and asked.

Lennok asked back.

“What?”

“I was curious about what our director’s lectures are like compared to Professor Aris.”

Is that why you couldn’t bear the bored expression and then asked? Lennok also laughed because he understood that feeling to some extent.

Cassia is a level 5 wizard who has not yet reached the level of military rank but her level of knowledge and research is such that she occupies second place under Bayla.

Considering Bayla’s seemingly strict nature she must also be an excellent talent with considerable skills and knowledge.

It was natural that the lecture content tailored to the level of undergraduate students was difficult to understand.

“I have been looking around here and there and Professor Aris has a very good reputation among students and the content of his lectures as well as his skills and talent.”

Cassia’s face full of curiosity.

“I’m not close to that person so it makes me wonder how such a perfect person could exist.”

It is not unreasonable for Cassia to think so.

In reality the ages of Cassia and Aris were not that far apart but their levels were more than two levels apart.

It’s not that Cassia isn’t excellent it’s just that Aris’ level is abnormally fast for her age.

Considering that most of the level 6 superhumans in this city had lived for well over 40 years it seemed natural at first glance.

However Lennok had never thought of Aris as such a perfect person.

“Hmm it’s perfect….”

Aris’ talent and disposition are truly outstanding but in Lennok’s opinion her good disposition is far from perfect.

Perfecting yourself means digging deep into yourself.

From that perspective it was clear that Aris who was interested in nurturing younger students and developing the talents of others was a rare type among the wizards Lennok knew.

Of course I know that he was able to reach the level of an Aspect Wizard because he did not let go of his true nature.

Wouldn’t the sloppiness of leaving out important experimental tools one by one every time he conducted research with Lennok be far from perfect?

However instead of continuing that thought Lennoc cleverly changed the topic based on what Cassia had said.

“It’s even better than I thought.”

“yes?”

“Director Baila’s teaching skills. Or more accurately should I say attitude?”

Lennok said softly as he looked down at Bayla tapping on the blackboard.

“It is not strange for a magician of that level to have a certain degree of self-righteousness but the content the director is currently lecturing does not differ significantly from the existing curriculum.”

“….”

“No rather it seems like the director is trying to base his lecture on our professor’s thesis rather than the director himself. The overall lecture content is strictly focused on the conversion and understanding of elemental magic.”

After speaking to that point Lennok looked back at Cassia whose mouth was slightly open.

“Is there anything wrong with what I said?”

“…no. “I was actually surprised at how accurate it was.”

Cassia said after slightly shaking her head to come to her senses.

“It was almost exactly what the director said to me just before giving the lecture.”

“It’s not a difficult task. Anyone who knows them both would think so. “It’s just that I didn’t know that the director would respect Professor Richellen’s curriculum so much.”

She was following Aris’ curriculum so thoroughly that even Lennok who did not think very favorably of Vaila acknowledged it.

As this is a semester-long course it is unclear what Aris actually intended to teach this semester.

At the very least Aris is trying to teach principles and knowledge and apply them based on the achievements made through thesis.

That would have been impossible without Bayla recognizing and respecting Aris that much.

‘I guess the words that warned me back then were purely out of concern for Aris… That means I’m not that selfish.’

If Aris rather than anyone else delegates his professorship to him it must be because he is a trustworthy person.

If Byla was going to continue attending the university while she was serving as a temporary professor Lennok needed to let go of his prejudice against her.

Bayla glanced at Lennok’s appearance then put down the pen she was holding and said.

“Let’s take a break for a moment. Evan Assistant Professor. In front of me.”

“….”

The quiet classroom suddenly became crowded but Bayla did not criticize it.

Judging by the slight frowning it looks like he is being annoyed but is he forcing his reaction back?

Lennok who was staring at her asked.

“It looks like your chronic illness has gotten much better.”

“what?”

“A phenomenon of disconnection of the body’s magical power. “You seem to be in much better condition than before.”

“….”

Instead of answering Bayla kept her mouth shut.

She also remembered that Lennok had noticed her long-standing illness and had given her advice.

“It seems that you received treatment at the right time as it is unlikely that the disconnection phenomenon which worsens over time as blood vessels become occluded will improve by chance.”

Lennok smiled as he looked back at Cassia who was standing next to Vaila.

“It seems like another researcher who respects you has achieved great things.”

“Ahaha….”

Cassia smiled with a troubled face.

Considering that Cassia’s purpose in heading to the Dominion to avoid the eyes of others was to treat Vaila’s chronic illness wouldn’t it be correct to interpret that she found an effective herb in the Dominion?

Of course Cassia may not know that Lennok was the person she encountered in the Dominion at that time but it was not difficult to piece together the facts based on the circumstances.

“…Hehe you still have a good eye for useless things. “It looks like he was helping Aris with his remaining talents here as well.”

Bayla snorted turned her head and asked.

“So have you been thinking of a plausible excuse for not showing up to the lab while I was teaching?”

“I have received confirmation that the research project was conducted in cooperation with an external organization.”

“….”

Bayla’s expression changed slightly as she looked at the documents Lennok handed her.

The seal stamped at the very bottom. We learned that it is a symbol used externally by an elite special agency directly under the city government.

An alibi created with Evelyn’s help.

Although the name of the agency called the agent is not revealed it is enough evidence to be treated as a more justifiable cause than anything else in this city.

“…good. The record of not going to work without permission so far will be passed over to this point. But you’ll have to be careful from now on.”

“….”

“Seeing that you are still in the position of assistant professor Aris seems to care a lot about you… but I have no intention of having a wizard who is not helpful to my lectures become an assistant professor.”

Vaila gestured toward Cassia who was standing behind Lennok.

“For that purpose I brought in Deputy Researcher Rubenil.”

“okay.”

“If I don’t do my job properly I’ll have to give up a lot of the authority I have as an assistant professor.”

“…”

“I don’t want to infringe on Aris’ personnel rights so I’ll keep the position intact but I’m a picky person.”

Bayla’s eyes glowed sharply as she looked at Lennok.

“If I can’t prove that I have the ability to match the position I have no choice but to handle it my way while Aris is on sabbatical.”

“hmm….”

The way of saying it itself is a bit harsh but it is not entirely wrong.

Doesn’t that mean that if you don’t do your job properly as an assistant professor that authority will be taken away and handed over to Cassia?

To be honest Lennok was not interested in any rights other than access to the university’s central library and other databases.

I was very interested in the Carlyle Institute where Bayla was the director.

“Then how about doing it this way?”

“what?”

I guess I never thought that Lennok would come forward with a suggestion.

“If you think I do not have the capabilities to be an assistant professor I will hereby transfer all authority to Researcher Cassia.”

“…yes?”

Lennok said ignoring Cassia who pointed at him with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“But if I prove that I’m capable all you have to do is do me one favor.”

“…Please.”

A cold smile appeared on Vaila’s lips as she looked at Lennok.

“I guess that’s a favor you’re asking me the head of the Carlisle Institute not the temporary professor at Labatenon right?”

“….”

Sharp point. Rather than answering that question Lennok grinned.

Bayla who briefly looked like she was wondering if she liked that confident attitude nodded willingly.

“Are you saying it’s okay to leave that method up to me? If it made me want to test whether it was arrogance or confidence then it was a great way to talk. Cassia!”

“…Director?”

Bayla said looking at her walking out with a slightly nervous expression.

“Our assistant said it’s been a while since she’s been thinking about doing some work so I think you should help her.”

Bayla glanced back at Lennok and smiled meaningfully.

“I will check how well I have assisted Aris as an assistant professor. “This is a paper published by Aris so of course you understand its contents right?”

* * *

Above the lecture hall in the classroom after recess.

Lennok and Cassia stood side by side in front of the undergraduate students who had returned to their seats.

“Attention everyone.”

Bayla lightly tapped the church to attract attention and then opened her mouth.

“Before resuming the lecture there will be a demonstration by the two assistant professors regarding the conversion and application of elemental magic that we have discussed so far.”

She explained as she walked slowly in front of Lennok and Vaila.

“Recently the biggest issue in the Department of Elemental Studies is the organic conversion of magic and power. The idea is to reduce the costs incurred in the process to the limit and in effect treat both power sources at the same level. “You all know it right?”

Bayla glanced at the undergraduate student with an expressionless gaze.

“Professor Aris Richelen’s recently published paper that shook the academic world deals with this very topic.”

“….”

The undergraduate students swallowed their saliva with slightly nervous expressions.

“Since the paper became a hot topic it has gone through a tremendous amount of empirical work and is now a topic that is being established as a theory. It will not be long before it will be officially incorporated into the curriculum you will learn. “You can consider this demonstration today as a taste for him.”

‘You’re good at making up plausible stories.’

Lennok listened to Bayla’s words with a sour expression and then looked down at the heavy machine in front of him.

About the size of a huge dog. The machine made up of all kinds of pipes and suction pipes is wriggling and exhaling like a living breathing creature at this very moment.

And there was another machine in front of Cassia that looked exactly the same.

“This equipment was airlifted through sponsorship from Carlisle Research Institute and is a hybrid magic-nuclear fusion engine designed to increase efficiency through a mix of horsepower and electric power.”

Vaila pointed to the two machines placed on the altar.

“The performance itself is great but it’s so tricky that it won’t work properly unless a high-ranking magician starts it directly.”

Only then did Lennok realize what she was trying to do to him and tilted his head slightly.

Cassia looked back at Lennok with a slightly sorry expression.

“From now on these two assistant professors will show us how to breathe life into this difficult guy. “We have installed an internal observation camera so everyone can enjoy it clearly.”

At the same time as those words are spoken the projector turns on on the pure white wall above the blackboard clearly showing the internal structure of the two engines.

A situation in which only the minimum maintenance movements are repeated and there is no internal force at all.

Lennok lifted his head and looked at the figure and was a little impressed.

‘It’s a lot more plausible than I thought.’

This was because the method Vaila had chosen to test Lennok was much more rational and student-friendly than Lennok had imagined.

In this way not only can we clearly demonstrate to undergraduate students the process and efficacy of the substitution of magic power and power which was actually presented through Aris.

In fact it can be proven that capital can move and the development of practical magic engineering is possible through this method.

Regardless of whether he doesn’t like Lennok does he make sure he does what he has to do?

At the same time it was neat that he took advantage of Cassia who had already used this engine several times as his opponent and even secured his own victory.

Thinking about how this entire series of processes proceeded so naturally Lennok couldn’t help but laugh.

I didn’t really like Bayla’s attitude of not liking Lennok but I was satisfied with her ability to distinguish between public and private matters to some extent and not forget her place.

A person who possesses this level of resourcefulness and passion at the same time would do his best to guide undergraduate students even if it meant only temporarily replacing Aris.

Aris was also aware of this to some extent so he must have handed over the professorship to Bayla and left.

“Professor Evan are you ready?”

Vaila who was looking back had a strange smile on her face confident of victory.

Lennoc smiled and nodded without hesitation.

“Of course.”

However if there is one thing that Bayla who thoroughly considered all of these cases before entering the game did not think about it would be.

The person who wrote this paper from beginning to end was none other than Lennok himself.

“Then let’s begin.”

As long as she brought up this theme it was impossible for Lennok to lose this bet.
