Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 469
by Jessie@AFNCC
Madam (3)
A neat-looking woman came down from the elevator.
She introduced herself as Clevia and was waiting for an answer without even moving her head slightly lowered.
Lennok quietly looked down at Clevia and put her magic to rest.
Phew…!!
A strange scene in which the magic that filled the entire lobby suddenly converged into Lennok’s hands.
Lennok said while listening to the sighs of breathless freelancers everywhere.
“Did you know I was coming?”
The wizard’s gaze reflected at the tip of the silver staff shined sharply.
“sorry. “It took me a while to prepare a gift for my class.”
Clevia carefully took something out of her arms and held it out to Lennok.
A case containing unknown pills made by clumping together red powder.
“This?”
“It is an item that promotes metabolism in the body and increases appetite. “It is called an inhibitor among us because it reduces the urge to suck blood.”
Clevia smiled faintly as she said that. Sharp fangs peeked between her lips.
“There are many people who have converted from humans to vampires. “The person in the back will need it.”
“….”
A vampire like Madame. Do you already know the entire situation?
In that case there was no need to talk nonsense.
Lennok calmly took it threw it to Rayan and walked into the elevator.
The freelancers’ faces hardened as they saw Clevia politely guiding Lennok in front of the elevator door.
The castle lobby is in disarray as if a storm has swept through it. There was not a single functioning device left.
“Fuck you you didn’t even get your money’s worth in the end….”
“Is it true that you were seriously injured in the first place? “Does it make sense to do something like that with an injured body?”
“No it seems certain that he was seriously injured.”
The eyes of the older man who was observing the situation with his arms crossed became heavy.

“I intentionally tried not to maintain my horsepower for long and try to win in one match. “I’m sure I can’t wait too long.”
“What is absurd is the power of fastness itself which can produce such output with an injured body.”
The atmosphere in the lobby became cold as someone muttered something.
“If that’s something you do when you’re injured then when you’re healthy…”
“…What kind of fight did you have with Madrich Onion?”
“It wasn’t a rumor that you might have reached level 8…”
“What is important is the information itself that fasting can cause serious injury and is dangerous to health.”
The freelancers’ eyes shone coldly.
“The fact that he showed up with a life support device means he has no intention of hiding it.”
“After a while the rumor will spread throughout the city. “If you want to trick someone into selling it with valuable information you have to move quickly.”
“Let’s report to Madam later and then get moving. “You have to earn it as pocket money.”
Lennok let out a laugh as he listened to the freelancers’ conversation in his ears.
Creating an alibi for being sick was successful but I had no idea that they would scrape the information to the ground and try to sell it.
For now I guess I’ll be satisfied that I’ve created an alibi that will allow Lightning to stay out of the city for a while just as I wanted.
While Lennok was deep in thought Clevia who was the last person to get on the elevator raised her hand.
Wow!!
At that moment the entire elevator which was carved out of a huge crystal began to move and rise upward.
Stable movement without any shaking even with four people on board. Lennok’s eyes lit up as he realized the identity of the power source.
“He was a telekinetic. “That is also quite high.”
“It’s an unremarkable talent.”
“I didn’t know that someone with this level of psychic ability was still in the dark. “The Balkans are wide.”
If Clevia herself is not a magic user that surpasses Lennok it is evidence that she is using an innate ability that operates with mental power.
Lennok was also interested because it was his first time seeing a powerful psychic and this level of telekinetic power.
In the case of telekinesis it is notorious not only for its overwhelming versatility but also as a superpower that is difficult to elevate.
Broker Sebastian the only telekinetic person Lennok knew was only able to move a wine glass.
At that level no matter how high you put it it’s second-tier level.
However the vampire currently guiding Lennoc seemed certain to be a level 6 or higher telekinetic.
“It is said that many high-ranking psychics are unable to control their abilities and are gathering as a group to find a way to enlighten them.”
“….”
Lennok asked as he looked over the elevator rising towards the top floor of the castle.
“Could vampires be part of a way to control superpowers? “What do you think about that?”
“…I didn’t know you were so interested in superpowers.”
“I am paying attention to innate ability because it can always be a powerful variable. “I actually went through a lot.”
Clevia was slightly silent then answered.
“It would be impossible. “I just inherited this ability through my bloodline abilities.”
“….”
“Inheriting bloodline abilities is a qualification permitted to purebloods. “It is difficult to expect that turning into a vampire will yield any meaningful results.”

Does this mean that it is not a case of being born with superpowers but merely inheriting the abilities of another vampire?
However the fact that it is possible for pure-blooded vampires to pass on their abilities to each other is very interesting.
Perhaps the strangely powerful and horrifying sense of déjà vu of high-ranking vampires comes from precisely these characteristics.
“That’s a good answer. “It was helpful.”
“I’m glad you liked the answer.”
Clevia said that and immediately led the two people to the top floor of the huge mansion.
The top of the castle-shaped mansion which is almost five stories high.
The sight of people living in hallways or rooms laughing and chatting disappears faster the higher you go.
The moment you reach the top floor there is only eerily desolate silence.
“….”
A hallway covered with a carpet that gives off an unknown vague energy.
Rayan also swallowed his saliva as if he felt something as a vampire.
Clevia passed through the countless doors on both sides and slowly opened the huge stone door at the end of the hallway.
A dark spacious room located just inside the door.
Only the faint candlelight shining through the window on the wall dimly illuminates the room.
An ornate armchair placed in the deepest corner of a room full of shadows.
In the meantime someone who was sitting with his body buried quietly raised his head.
[Oh I don’t know who this is.]
Even though it’s been a while since I heard it I still remember that vague tone of voice.
A quiet voice coming from behind the veil that seemed to show my face.
The parasol she was using even in the middle of the night was folded and placed next to her chair.
Although he is wearing a light shirt suitable for living at home there is no part of his skin directly exposed due to the gloves and veil on his hands.
[So much time has passed… I thought I forgot the invitation I sent you.]
I could feel a hint of a grin behind the veil that obscured my face.
The longest-living broker and vampire in this city.
There are even rumors that Gigi enjoys working with talented freelancers.
I was finally able to meet Madame Elebra Trivia again.
[Time is so fleeting. Isn’t that right?]
The sight of her leisurely looking up at Lennok’s face and crossing her legs.
[It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since the invitation was delivered at the old factory site but I can’t believe time has already passed…]
“It’s not that I forgot. “I just didn’t have time.”
[I said I didn’t have time… I’ll understand later. There are too many things you have accomplished so far to think of it as an excuse.]
“….”
[Can I interpret this as a wizard who has achieved the level of power equivalent to level 8 or as someone who has already reached the level of a great wizard?]
Madame shrugged her shoulders and laughed quietly.
[Either way it is true that we did not expect our position to change this much. I will humbly admit it.]
Who could have thought that the wizard who came into the city just a few years ago would be such an absurd monster?
Even when the invitation was delivered in Madame’s eyes Lennok was nothing more than a magician with extraordinary talent.
What Lennoch did was too abnormal to blame Madame’s ability for not being able to predict the two people’s positions that had changed so much in just a few years.
However Lennoch actually chuckled after hearing Madame’s words.
“well. “Wasn’t it rather annoying?”
[yes?]
“Compared to our overlapping scope of activities we had no contact with each other. “It’s too strange to be a coincidence.”
[….]
In a way Madame is a famous and powerful broker who cannot be compared to Jenny or Sebastian in this world.
Unlike Sebastian who mainly deals with VIPs or Jenny who mainly deals with high-value nomination requests through personal connections she has handled and dealt with almost every field.
But is it really a coincidence that Madame was never involved while Lennok was involved with organizations like the Triumvirate?
Isn’t this the result of Madame’s deliberate efforts to avoid getting involved with Lennok?
Lennok had a vague idea of that so he did not feel the need to go to see Madame with an invitation.
“I thought I couldn’t deal with it as intended so I widened my distance and when it became inevitable I tried to get closer… It’s not in a way that I can’t understand.”
Lennok who sat down on the chair across from Madame without permission laughed.
“But it was too blatant.”
[…that’s right. I thought it was a mistake to give you an invitation.]
Despite the brief hesitation it was such a cool admission that Lennok was slightly surprised.
Madame took a deep breath and continued speaking immediately.
[I hoped they wouldn’t come looking for me if possible. If you want to last long in this world you must not get close to people who cause trouble.]
“Have you changed your mind now?”
[It was enough time to change my mind. Don’t you think so?]
Lennok also chuckled at Madame’s sly reply.
I stayed away from it because it seemed uncontrollable but if that wizard had become a big deal beyond my control wouldn’t I have to change my mind?
It was a calculated way of thinking but at least Madame’s attitude in speaking honestly about it was not bad.
The very fact that he spoke in this way was proof that he had been paying close attention to what kind of person Lennoc was and that he had put a lot of effort into it.
Sure enough Madame’s mouth opened again immediately.
[I am aware of the situation. I will take full responsibility for all matters regarding the blood mage boy.]
“Do you have a solution in mind?”
[It is difficult to guarantee that you can completely return to the way you were before when you took Black Blood.]
Madame answered calmly.
[That is the legacy of a mutant born with a special talent among vampires and it is that difficult to erase. A long-term solution will be needed.]
“You’re saying it’s difficult to quickly return to being human.”
[If I had known the identity of the object I would have taken action sooner… It was my mistake. There are often items that cannot be handled with our hands during the transportation process.]
“Rayan.”
“…okay.”
Rayan who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two nodded with a stern expression.
He probably knows that he has no other choice after coming this far.
On the contrary I felt fortunate that a method like this had been found.
Madame said as she watched Clevia take Rayan out.
[I plan to provide training on the minimum necessary blood flow manipulation and to avoid distorting the mind. Even if I were to return to being human it would be a significant help in my accomplishments.]
“I see.”
[At least your body will not be taken over by the subconsciousness inherent in black blood.]
“good. “That’s enough for now.”
Although she intervened due to the unexpected event that Rayan had turned into a vampire the fact that Madam took over responsibility itself is not such a bad thing.
This is after all an internal problem within the vampire and it would be better to leave the solution to an expert who is familiar with this matter.
[Then now that we have reached a reasonable agreement on the external justification shall we get to the point?]
The image of Madame leaning forward slightly and putting her hands together in front of her. The veil draped over his face wavered faintly.
Lennok laughed bitterly at Madame’s words without even realizing it.
“I knew it.”
[Although what happened to the blood mage boy was a troubling incident it was not something you had to come to in person.]
She said tapping the armrest with her gloved hand.
[Rather even though I knew that I had avoided contact with you for several years I thought that the reason you came to me at this time was to use the matter of the boy as an excuse to ask for something separately. Am I overinterpreting it too much?]
“No that’s accurate.”
Perhaps because he is a vampire who has lived as a broker for a long time he has a devilish sense of humor when it comes to these things.
I guess he had doubts about Lennok when he first met him but after talking with him he became convinced and quickly sent Rayan and Clevia away.
It’s not that resolving Rayan’s problem isn’t important but that’s not why she came to see Madame.
A doctor in the field Lennok is looking for. This was because the vampire in front of me was connected to the highest authority in that field and through the closest connections.
After confirming that he did not exist beyond the divergence of the open sea Lennok began to think that he needed to understand his own body more clearly.
The opportunity came to Lennok’s eyes faster than expected.
Madame looked up and down Lennok’s body through the veil and nodded.
[I heard a rumor that he suffered an unusually serious injury. But now that I look at it… it looks like it wasn’t just a rumor.]
“Do you think of anything when you see this?”
Madame nodded as Lennok lifted the staff in his hand.
[How could you not know? The presence of an artificial blood vessel that acts as a jewel and an IV on the staff. It is completely identical to the characteristics of the life support device that high-ranking wizards often use as a second heart.]
“….”
[The artificial blood vessel is still writhing in your wrist. It’s almost perfectly similar to a heartbeat. As a vampire I can feel it more sensitively.]
“It was like that….”
Now I understand why the vampire I met at that time was convinced that Lennok’s staff was a life support device.
Because the movement of the staff as seen with a vampire’s senses was exactly the same as that of a life support device that replaces the heart.
Was it because he was half-convinced that there was no reason to carry such an item as just a decoration that he changed his attitude so suddenly?
After confirming that point Lennok immediately summarized and briefly stated that a doctor was needed.
Madame who had been quietly listening to Lennok laughed out loud.
[Miss Kaise’s information power is truly considerable. Almost no one knows that I am sponsoring it…]
“I want to get things done as quickly as possible. “Can you help me?”
[great. But you know that you can’t do it with bare mouth right?]
Madame said with her arms crossed.
[That person really hates meeting people he doesn’t know so I wouldn’t normally grant him this kind of request.]
“….”
[However please know that the reason we agree to this deal is because we are responsible for that blood mage boy.]
“Let’s hear the terms of the deal.”
[What I want is simple. I have no intention of making troublesome work for a sick person.]
It felt like Madame was smiling through the veil.
[I don’t know if you know but for pure-blooded vampires like us blood containing magical power is a great delicacy.]
“….”
[The blood of a high-ranking superhuman or a pure magician is especially helpful in awakening our inspiration and intuition.]
As Madame said this she pointed to the wall of the dark room with her gloved hand.
Hundreds of test tubes arranged as if to store wine in a huge glass display case. Inside various types of blood are carefully stored.
There are quite a few test tubes filled with blood on the lower shelf but the further up you go the more test tubes you see that don’t contain a single drop.
Among them Madame was pointing precisely to an empty corner on the top floor of the display case.
[A drop of blood from a level 8 supreme wizard. Even one drop of blood voluntarily given by the blood owner is enough.]
“….”
Lennok shut his mouth when he realized what Madame was talking about.
Although it was a bit of a twist there was no need to ask her whose blood she wanted.
“good night.”
[Well I thought you would reject it. Giving blood to a vampire in the first place… huh?]
Madame who had been shrugging her shoulders jumped up from her seat.
[Really?]
