Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 426



About things that have changed (4)

Regardless of what Dean Sciolus actually thinks of Lennok.

It seemed true that Lennok’s proposed terms for the second paper seemed quite attractive to him.

In fact before even a day had passed huge amounts of research support funds began to flow into Aris’s lab.

Anyway it would be best if Lennok could handle this matter on his own.

Even if that’s not the case do you think it’s enough to confirm Evan’s tendency not to want to stand out?

“You’re much more proactive than I thought. “It seems clear that they don’t want to report this situation to the Technology Management Bureau.”

Lennok stroked his chin after checking the numbers accumulated in the electronic ledger of the laboratory computer.

“Or maybe they don’t want to give the impression that they can’t properly handle what happened inside the school?”

[….]

“…Dabi?”

Lennok turned his gaze towards the spirit that did not respond.

Dabi who was squatting in one corner of the desk glanced at Lennok and turned his head.

[…Buuuh.]

“…?”

Lennok who was looking at Dabi who suddenly refused to talk lifted the spirit’s body and sat him on his lap.

[…!]

Lennok was lost in thought as he touched both cheeks of the Thunder Spirit whose ears perked up.

“It’s my second thesis….”

When I first wrote the paper I had no idea that this kind of impact would occur.

Who would have known that a thesis that was thought of as an excuse to show that he was diligently doing his work as an assistant professor would become so famous that it would have an impact on the entire magical engineering industry.

Therefore at the time there was a feeling that the value and popularity of the paper were not properly utilized.

This time Lennok planned to thoroughly evaluate the value of the paper and control the aftermath to his benefit.

‘If you are planning to publish a paper with Evan’s name on it you must do it clearly. ‘I can’t remain in the awkward position of assistant professor as I am now.’

Of course all of those assumptions were based on the premise that the second paper that Lennok would write should cause a similar reaction and impact but Lennoch was not that anxious.

He had the talent to look at everything from a different perspective than others and he also had a deep enough understanding to theorize it himself.

If you can convey the inspiration and ideas that can only be obtained during life-threatening battles the results will probably not be disappointing.

Thinking so Lennok hugged Dabi and lifted him up.

“It’s time. The applicant that the dean promised will come. “I know how this incident went so let’s deal with it quickly.”

[Buuuu.]

“…Didn’t the batteries you ate today taste very good?”

[…?]

I put Dabi who was tilting his head as if this wasn’t happening into his coat and walked away.

* * *

“So you’re saying you came to help me and no one else?”

“…I have nothing to say…. “This was the first thing I did when I got back to college.”

The appearance of a young man slightly averting his gaze at Lennok’s words.

The young man with his hair swept to one side had a light epaulet hanging on his shoulder indicating that he was a researcher under the direct supervision of a chair professor.

Pavlen Archwood.

When Lennok entered college he was an aristocrat from a prestigious family in the final year of his 4th year and now that time has passed he is a wizard who is officially taking the process to become a professor.

There was once an attempt to ruin Lennok who was acquainted with Aris but after risking half of his magic power and having a close conversation the problem completely disappeared.

Afterwards Archwood never tried to approach Lennok again and Lennok also never contacted him unless it was related to the school’s internal circumstances.

“He said he needed someone to accompany him to investigate a dangerous crime scene. “It was difficult to refuse because it was the dean’s request.”

“Stop talking.”

Archwood flinched as Lennok spoke with an expressionless face.

“It would look rather suspicious if Pavlen Archwood behaved like that to an assistant professor.”

“Hmm I don’t intend to disturb you so don’t worry. Yes… because I haven’t forgotten about that skill. “All I have to do is keep my mouth shut right?”

Archwood clears his throat and desperately avoids gaze. I tried to act calm but I couldn’t stop my voice from shaking.

He doesn’t know much about Lennok but he has a rough idea of ​​how powerful a wizard he is.

No matter how much the dean asked him to do the fact that he decided to accompany him on this project was probably because he believed in Lennok’s abilities so much.

And there must have been a calculation that if I did something condescending like that and accepted the dean’s request it would be helpful someday.

But instead of answering Lennok stared at Archwood for a long time and then spoke.

“…The magical power has returned.”

Didn’t you personally destroy half of his magic power on the plains where you followed Aris to the academy?

But now when I took a quick look inside him I saw that half of the magic power that had been lost back then had been completely restored.

Lennok himself does not remember returning the lost magic power and there would be no way to return the magic power that had evaporated at that time.

chin!

“Heehee…!”

Lennok asked looking into the eyes of Archwood who made a strangled sound as soon as he touched his shoulder.

“I don’t remember taking any special action. “What happened?”

Lennok’s ability to control magic cannot be judged within the framework of a simple hierarchy or realm.

The essence of magical interference permitted by transcendental talent and intuition.

Cutting off the root of magical power by directly contacting another wizard’s body is one of the arts that was freely practiced even before the hierarchy was completed.

If the magic power that had been removed was restored rather than simply sealed it is clear that the help of a highly skilled magician or medical doctor was definitely needed.

And if Archwood can connect you with a medical doctor with that level of skill right now-

“It’s not like I’ve recovered…!!”

Trembling Archwood struggled to speak.

“I just continued to increase my magical power with the support of my family… Please…! “It hasn’t been long since things returned to normal…!!”

“…”

Does this mean that rather than regaining half of the magic power that Lennok had lost he completely increased the magic power contained within the vessel by increasing the magic power?

This was unexpected for Lennok who knew how rare elixirs and artifacts that increase the maximum magical power that humans are born with are.

Wasn’t Lennok’s recent ability to control the amount of magic power itself merely a result of receiving the remaining magic power from the Hanghasa Labyrinth?

A noble family as prestigious as Archwood might be able to consume precious elixirs like water for self-control.

Lennok who was looking at Archwood’s trembling figure with his eyes almost closed nodded quietly.

“good. egg plant.”

“Do you believe me…?”

“There is no time to check the authenticity. “If it’s a lie you can do something about it later… I think the dean made a pretty good appointment.”

“Is that so?”

I don’t feel particularly guilty if Archwood who tried to ruin Lennok in the past is his companion.

If the situation is not favorable you can use it as a meat shield within a reasonable range and then throw it away.

In that respect someone like Archwood was a comfortable opponent for Lennok.

Archwood who didn’t know that was making a strange expression as if Lennok’s remarks had been acknowledged.

“Let’s leave before the sun sets. According to the address the dean gave me it is in District 38.”

“Um I haven’t been to much of the 40th Division area… but I might not be of help.”

“….”

“…Oh I understand. “Try not to speak military language.”

I headed toward the outskirts with Archwood who was sweating profusely with his mouth tightly shut.

It was about a week ago that the dean received a report on abuse of the thesis.

This is not simply because the results of the thesis were used without royalties but was made aware of the fact that complaints were received in advance from businesses affiliated with the university during the process.

An old workshop located on the edge of District 38.

Meanwhile there was testimony that confirmed the existence of a business that imitates products similar to theirs.

After hearing the rumor the dean tried to find out the facts through university employees and after that there were no survivors.

Of course there was a large-scale police investigation and nothing was found during the search.

Now a week later only yellow police tape was attached to the crime scene and no one was entering or leaving.

This may also be the result of the university’s efforts to preserve the site.

Slam!

I passed between the tapes and found a small workshop at the exact address given by the dean.

The blood stains that had once been large and smeared inside had already become thick and were now only decorating the surrounding area.

The only thing that stands out is the shape where the traces of the dead body were marked in the manner of the police.

“Ugh… the smell of blood….”

Archwood came in from behind holding his nose and frowned.

Lennok looked back at Archwood and smiled.

“You’re in good spirits. “I thought I was going to throw up right away.”

“It’s not that I don’t have experience due to family tradition. “I’m just not used to it…”

Of course otherwise he wouldn’t have thought of killing Lennok just because he didn’t like him.

“So what do you plan to do here now?”

Archwood asked having gotten used to the rotten insides of blood and flesh sticking together faster than expected.

“It has been over a week since the police investigation was completed. “Not only the main evidence but also related case records and witnesses must all be stored at the local police station.”

“The case record has already been checked and the witnesses’ alibis have also been confirmed.”

Lennok said as he looked around the bloody production facilities of the factory.

“Main evidence stored at the police station is also on its way here now.”

“…what?”

I have no intention of spending a long time trying to find the culprit.

I had already given the answer to some extent before coming here and all I had to do was put the puzzle together and confirm it.

As soon as Lennok finished speaking the factory door burst open and someone quickly walked in.

“Evan I brought you the item you asked for here.”

“Thank you for your hard work Cassia.”

“…Cassia? Cassia Rubenil?”

Cassia who handed an item wrapped in a small wrap to Lennok looked at Archwood and smiled slightly awkwardly.

“Oh yes… I came here to help out for a little while at Evan’s request. “There are not many people involved who know about this incident.”

“It is an honor to meet in person the Associate Director of the Carlisle Institute. Anyway I heard that the project you are currently working on is receiving a lot of attention from the public. It is truly a great achievement. Congratulations.”

“yes…?”

The project being carried out at the institute is based on Lennok’s thesis but Archwood’s attitude is to praise her while leaving Lennok aside.

It was natural for Cassia’s expression to turn slightly awkward.

Lennok also turned his gaze towards Archwood with a slightly interesting look on his face.

‘You still don’t know that I submitted the paper in Evan’s name.’

Did he join this project without knowing that considering the dean’s request and Lennok’s identity?

I don’t know whether to call this stupid or immature but it doesn’t really matter now.

Thinking so Lennok removed the wrap from the item Cassia had brought and held up the contents.

The item wrapped in a small wrap that can fit inside a finger is a small necklace.

A necklace decorated with unknown decorations shines brightly in the sunlight coming through the factory windows.
