“like this?”
“no. “That’s not it.”
As Lennok said that he slightly adjusted the shape of his raised hand.
“This is what it feels like.”
After spending a full day checking the health of Dabi who had become Samiho and checking his abilities and growth.
Lennok visited the headquarters of the distribution company he founded with Jenny for the first time in a long time.
A cozy space in the courtyard where those in charge of the company’s security duties including Drey Crimgal are usually absorbed in sparring and group activities.
About ten people who had never gathered together were crouching and groaning.
It’s a strange sight to see Mila who came with Dylan quietly folding her hands and trying to think of something as Lennok tells her.
“Umm….”
Mila who was lost in thought with her head tilted crookedly spoke.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
“…I didn’t expect it to go well from the beginning either.”
Lennok slowly turned his head as he said that.
“But wouldn’t it be much better than being like that?”
[Woweeeeek…!!]
In the corner where the two people turned their heads a woman with a robot’s head was kneeling with her head on the ground.
A terrible voice like vomiting comes out and at the same time oil drips from the machine-made head.
[I can’t do this… I can never do this…]
Lennok said pointing to Mad Manson who was muttering in a gloomy voice and digging into the ground.
“At least you have a higher chance of succeeding than Manson because you focus purely on supernatural powers. Be confident.”
“…Can’t we just not do it…?”
What does it mean that Mad Manson who has worked as a freelancer in the shadows for a long time cannot bear the pain he feels during training and rolls around on the floor?
Isn’t the technology that Lennok is trying to teach now either very dangerous or painful?
But Lennok looked at Mila and shook his head resolutely.

“I guess he was the one who rushed over to tell me about magic. You can’t give up here. “Here we go again.”
“profit…!!”
As Mila strengthens both hands and concentrates her mind Lennok transfers his magic power to her fingertips.
At the same time a faint light appeared in her hand and rotated in concentric circles.
They began to slowly connect head to tail.
“Oooooh!!”
The moment when Mila’s expression brightened at the sight which was clearly different from before and the others who had been sitting down next to her and groaning suddenly turned their gaze.
Mila lowered her head and began to vomit the contents feeling a strange sensation as if her entire brain was tangled up.
“Gweeee!!”
“I thought so.”
“A mercenary who only cares about drinking is like that.”
“If that woman had succeeded first I would have given up without hesitation.”
Dylan who was squatting awkwardly next to him with his hands together let out an odd laugh through his mask.
“Hehehe! “You can’t do anything either Mila!”
“shut up…!! “Wow what kind of hair is this…!!”
A more powerful and strange sensation than most hangovers. The strange sensation of running around alone with my mind torn to pieces makes my stomach turn.
Even though she was lying still on the ground Mila felt like her head was spinning and fell down shaking.
Lennok looked down at Mila and clicked his tongue.
“Is this test subject also a failure?… Next.”
“Half over there? “We are all gathered here to learn magic right?”
Wei An standing in front of Lennok asked with a slightly trembling voice.
His complexion was extremely pale as if he had already vomited loudly once.
Lennok sighed slightly and nodded.
“I would have explained it several times. Until now I didn’t understand enough about magic to be able to teach it to anyone but now it’s a different story.”
“No then what about the experimental subject…?”
“I can’t completely teach you magic but I can teach you some basic tricks.”
Lennok who had decisively cut off Wei An’s conversation naturally spoke.
“They say you learn something by teaching someone. I also hope that this opportunity will be a good opportunity for both of us.”
Looking at Lennok whose tone of voice had suddenly become solemn Wei An tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
“No I think something is strange….”
“If you still have doubts let me show you one more time. There will be a demonstration by an experienced teaching assistant. from now on.”
“Half over there. “This is a bit embarrassing…”
Evelyn a short-haired woman who walked out from behind Lennok while muttering put both hands forward.
Evelyn spread her hands and formed a triangle with her thumb and index finger and in her hand a faint green ring was created and rotated.
Wooooow…!!
A soft noise as if the car’s engine were running. At the same time Evelyn’s hair fluttered faintly.
While the others stared blankly at the scene Lennok pulled out a strand of electricity and flicked it between Evelyn’s fingers.

Absolutely!!
The electrode which was sucked into the ring while making a loud noise disappears instead of touching Evelyn’s body.
An incredibly strange phenomenon as if another space exists inside the ring.
However when Evelyn slightly frowned and released both hands and gestured the ring collapsed and Lennok’s electricity burst out from within and shattered the floor.
bang!!
The cement laid well on the floor was shattered and a large hole was created.
Lennok turned his head.
“Did you see it?”
“no….”
“It’s only possible because it’s a bow palace.”
“Don’t ask me to control that level of magic power in the first place.”
“….”
Evelyn patted Lennok’s shoulder who was speechless.
“Why don’t you just give up?”
“Hmm I expected it wouldn’t be easy but….”
“Actually I wouldn’t have been able to follow along if you hadn’t taught me the trick from the beginning. “To be honest I still don’t know what the principle is.”
Evelyn shrugged and smiled awkwardly.
“If they had talent for magic in the first place they would have learned it a long time ago. “Me too.”
People who had known Lennok from the moment he set foot in this city and who had saved each other’s lives at least three times.
Lennok’s idea of teaching magic was not incomprehensible but Evelyn believed that the chances of success were low.
This is because achieving outstanding achievements and creating a great magic system are two completely different talents.
Even ‘Ban Gung’ who is said to be the most powerful ascendant in history did not actually lose the magic system he left to future generations without much transmission?
The more complex and sophisticated the power one is handling the more difficult it is to pass it on to future generations.
Evelyn believed that being able to explain what one understands in an easy-to-understand clear and concise manner leading one to reach the truth was also an innate talent.
However Lennok shook his head even after hearing Evelyn’s words.
“I don’t think I can finish it in one day either.”
What Lennox is trying to teach them is not the entire newly completed Ouroboros magic system but only a small part of it.
Among them [Tanmi (呑尾)] is the simplest basic and application-based technology. To put it bluntly it is the act of drawing a magic circle itself.
How could he expect others to perfectly handle this power that even he had recently acquired?
“It is enough to memorize the magic power array I gave you and implement it at the right time. “That will be helpful enough during the battle.”
The magic system Ouroboros is the result of the desire for perfection with transcendent cognitive ability and sensitivity.
Of course it is a permanent organ that it is impossible for anyone except Lennok himself to fully master and master.
Nevertheless the reason why I tried to pass on to others the basics of the magic system I had acquired after reaching the turning point of level 8 is simple.
The fact that others can learn and master even a little bit of it is the clearest and clearest evidence that it has been completed as a magic system.
‘It’s not for nothing that we’ve brought in people like Mila and Drey who don’t have any magic or connections.’
The principle of Ouroboros is very unique and strange different from any other magic that Lennok has used so far.
Rather because of this there was a possibility that it would be an aptitude for even those who had no talent for magic at all.
If it is a very basic principle that makes up a magic system you can memorize it master it and use it in an emergency.
“If you handle it properly it might save your life at least once.”
It can be a stepping stone for growth not only for those who are taught but also for Lennok.
Teaching the magic system itself is an act of conveying the message of Ouroboros to others and making it resonate.
I had no intention of giving up easily as it was likely to be a good opportunity to study the convergence and divergence of imagery and power and improve the magic system.
“It’s difficult… It took me a whole week to memorize and reproduce the magical power array you taught me.”
Only then did Evelyn understand that Lennok was really thinking about this matter and she was lost in thought.
“That was also the result excluding the time I spent worrying about finding a way to avoid conflicting with my natural magic power.”
Even with Evelyn’s level of magic manipulation ability memorization judgment and reflexes it took her a week just to memorize Lennok’s magic system instead of understanding it.
It seemed difficult for others to memorize and succeed in techniques faster than her.
Lennok also shrugged his shoulders not expecting a big harvest right away.
“I’m hoping it will get better over time. “Considering what you went through it might work better if you don’t know much about magic.”
“It’s easier said than done but in reality it’s impossible. “Can you call that a magic system in the first place?”
“…Because we are giving and receiving help like this to verify that. “I plan to give it to you as homework before I get back.”
As Lennok said that he slightly turned away.
The reason I called Evelyn here today was not simply to use her as an assistant.
“How is the city government going?”
“…After Madrich Onion died all new projects were halted. “It has been decided that Achilles’ affairs will be handled by another special agency.”
Evelyn shook her head.
“Thanks to this some of the management authority that the agent had lost was restored.”
“And the agent who is short of manpower will reinstate the Ace who was suspended.”
“No that’s not yet….”
“Not yet?”
When Lennok looked away Evelyn’s eyes were shaking slightly.
“You will be able to return to work…?”
“…Deputy Director Palad will take care of it. “Does it have to be something big?”
It seemed that Evelyn’s unemployed life would be longer than she intended but she shook her head as if she didn’t want to worry about it for too long.
“It’s strange that the city council ended things this way. Something must have happened.”
“These are never people who act without any reason. Just like when the ban was suddenly lifted he must have a plan of his own.”
In the end wasn’t there a clear and important reason for the new project we were working on this time?
At this opportunity Lennok was able to painfully realize how much the city council was working behind the scenes to cover up the tragedy caused by the failure of the Black Consumer Project.
Although he was getting deeper into the secrets of the project which had been shrouded in mystery it was difficult for Lennok to make any hasty moves since the situation was concluded with Madrich Onion’s funeral.
It is very rare that as in this case cause and responsibility are in close conflict and the consequences are not great.
Since Madrich Onion himself joined the Achilles Company confronted Dyke and committed terrorist acts the city council did not make a big deal out of this incident and just buried it by holding a funeral.
If you get excited and try to reveal the city’s secrets there is a high possibility that you will do more harm than good.
“Struman said he would buy me a drink sometime.”
“Are you from the Navy?”
“I guess he didn’t like the idea of Madrich Onion using the naval base as his base. “They asked me to contact you.”
Lennok chuckled inadvertently.
Even so there were many people he needed to meet separately such as Dyke’s Panoa and Mayer and Sebastian who helped him in this matter.
“If you come to Area 49 I’ll treat you to a glass of whiskey.”
“I’ll tell you that. “Would you like to have a drink here for the first time in a while?”
As Evelyn said that she pretended to tip a glass with one hand.
“Now that I think about it I haven’t done anything else since I came back from the labyrinth.”
“Do whatever you want. But I think Jenny said earlier that the bar was closed and she was coming to have a look…”
Oh oh oh oh!!!
Lennok and Evelyn turned their heads at the same time to the cheering that suddenly came from a corner of the clearing.
Everyone else who had gathered in the courtyard and was groaning was left with their mouths wide open in shock.
The two people who turned their gaze in the direction the gaze was heading also inadvertently opened their mouths.
“…I’m seeing that correctly right now right?”
“I didn’t expect this either. “The second successful person…”
A broker with wet-looking hair who usually stays inside the bar and rarely comes out.
Jenny who appears to be out to see what’s going on in the courtyard is sweating profusely with her hands folded.
“Half over there…? “Are you sure this is working properly?”
A ring of faint blue light emerged and spun between her fingers.
* * *
It’s been a week since the people gathered in the courtyard were given the task of mastering the art of drawing a magic circle.
After that Lennok took care of the backlogged schedule and work met the people he needed to meet and cleaned up his personal affairs.
When returning from a stay outside the city there is often a lot of backlog but since this work was completed near the city the burden was relatively less.
The only thing that bothers me is that the aftereffects of the injury sustained in the battle with Madric have not yet completely subsided.
It would be nice to take care of his condition by resting well but Lennok had no intention of continuing this routine for a long time.
“Let’s see what’s left to do…”
After promising to send a representative to Dyke’s shareholder meeting he stops by Palmer’s workshop to repair the broken equipment.
Stop by the Antares mercenary group and hear that Antares has not yet returned to the city and briefly say hello to Dylan and Mila.
As Evan he contacts Labatenon University to check the number of remaining annual leave days then contacts Bayla who is serving as a temporary professor to leave an empty schedule.
[Because there are three identities there are three times as many schedules to worry about.]
“yes. I do regret it sometimes. “There are so many things to worry about even though you only use three identities interchangeably.”
Lennok laughed as he accepted Dabi’s words.
[Still do you think you really need to work now?]
“….”
Dabi’s words seemed to pass by like nothing happened.
However Lennok noticed the worry in the spirit’s words and kept his mouth shut.
“…yes. “If you think about it this job is like creating a fourth identity.”
Lennok smiling reached out into his coat and stroked Dabi’s head.
“The destruction of the central city and the failure of the project. Secrets that the Ascendants have not yet revealed… There are still people who can answer all these questions.”
[but….]
“I said it might be the last offer. “I have to check to what extent that statement was true.”
The hand that was stroking Dabi’s head comes out from inside the coat.
Between Lennok’s long thin fingers he held not a lightning spirit but a mask that resembled black obsidian.
Inside the train returning from the Hanghe Temple Labyrinth to the big city.
An item I took from the King of Pandemonium saying it was his last offer.
Lennok looked at it for a while and slowly placed the mask on his face.
There was a long period of worry and patience and an unexpected meeting with the religious leader finally made a decision.
There is still so much that Lennok does not know and yet there are truths and failed answers to uncover.
Lennok felt rather strongly about the transcendent power of the religious leader and the conversation that went beyond recognition.
Perhaps as Myeong said this moment may be Lennok’s last chance to choose another turning point.
The hesitation did not last long.
The voice that echoed through the mask had been altered to be completely different from Lennok’s.
“Let’s go see Pandemonium.”
