Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 536

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 536
Giant of the Sun (3)
A garden located behind the main shrine of Turyeonmun Gate.
This is the main house provided for important nobles in Turyeonmun where facilities that can be used are limited according to level and ability.
Several giant stone statues with a formidable appearance resembling evil spirits surround the garden as if protecting it.
The thick hands of the stone statues arranged in all directions spread out like a curtain secretly covering the innermost space of the main house.
The edge of a sunny garden untouched by any outside gaze.
Lennok was slowly warming up in the pavilion directly adjacent to the wide grass field.
A contrasting sight between the hard wood floor beneath your feet and the warm garden visible to the naked eye right next to you.
The unique shape of the structure which was semi-connected to the outside garden was impressive but there was no time to pay attention to the scenery right now.
This was because in front of Lennok a man wearing pure white robes with his back to his back was staring at him with a strange smile on his face.
Innocence standing with his bare hands without any equipment or weapons opened his mouth.
“Get ready slowly. “I can give you as much time as you want to warm up.”
“….”
“However I don’t plan on giving you many chances to confirm your qualifications. “You understand right?”
He smiled his white eyebrows curled long.
“As I live longer the distinction between those who can learn something and those who cannot learn becomes faster and faster.”
The innocent white eyes shone coldly.
“I can’t give you a chance if it doesn’t stimulate my curiosity or inspiration at least when it comes to identifying martial arts. “It is a courtesy to all the warriors who passed through the temple.”
“Now that I’ve talked about useless things let’s talk about specific methods.”
Lennok said as he tried to get rid of the taste of the painkiller that was slowly dissolving in his mouth.
“Tell me about the test method and passing conditions.”
A variety of medications including stimulants painkillers and paralyzing drugs that suppress the sense of balance have already been mixed.
The reason I was pretending to warm up was to avoid giving unnecessary excuses to other people watching.
Because Lennok and Innocent were not the only two people standing here now.
Dozens of people looking down from the other side of the main building.

Each and every one of them is a martial artist of considerable skill who exudes extraordinary energy.
They are probably high-ranking officials in Tulianmun who heard the decision of innocence and were able to directly observe the test.
Among them a strong-looking black-haired woman standing on the far left sighed and opened her mouth.
Exceptionally thick eyebrows and sharp facial features. Even at a glance the similarities to the appearance of innocence are noticeable.
“Grandpa I still can’t understand this situation.”
“What did you mean?”
“The first thing he does when he returns from his long-awaited outing is to conduct a test to receive new disciples.”
The woman glanced at Lennoc with a distrustful look and said.
“How could anyone understand this situation much less if the target was a notorious wizard in the shadows?”
“….”
“This is a person who has absolutely no reason or purpose to do something like this. “I can’t help but think there’s some kind of plot going on.”
The reason he says it like that is probably because what Gongrei has been doing in the shadows is known to some extent to the warriors of Tulianmun.
It is a reaction that cannot be shown unless they too have heard about the decisive battle between Madrich Onion and Lennok.
The same goes for the fact that Gongbaek guesses about Lennok’s identity even though he didn’t say anything.
It is not that the reaction itself cannot be understood.
No matter how high-level warriors they are who would understand that a high-ranking wizard like Lennok learns martial arts out of nowhere?
A person with the talent and strength who will not feel any regrets even if he does not learn martial arts
It wouldn’t be that awkward to feel suspicious about approaching innocence in this way.
Innocent perhaps unaware of such a reaction could only laugh.
“Karia that’s because you don’t know much about this situation. “The very reason we brought him here in the first place was-”
After saying that Gyeolbaek stopped talking and quietly shook his head.
“It is done. “It’s already been decided so it won’t be too late to talk about it after it’s over.”
“…Grandpa.”
“If you don’t pass the test isn’t that the end of the story?”
I guess he recognized that if he wanted to say anything more he would eventually have to explain the current situation to others.
Innocence takes a step forward and looks at Lennok with pure white eyes.
Lennok accepted the gaze indifferently and nodded towards the woman who was watching him keenly.
“Didn’t you say you left your granddaughter in a foreign land?”
The woman I just referred to as Innocent Karia. Didn’t you openly call him grandfather?
It’s shocking that he made such a ridiculous statement that seeing Lennok reminded him of his granddaughter who lives in a foreign land and that he lied when he was found out less than half a day later.
“Hehe is that so? “As I get older my memory keeps going back and forth.”
“….”
“Well that’s not important. “While I was waiting I decided what to test my abilities with.”
Gyeonbaek who casually spoke slowly relaxed his back and walked one step forward.
“It would be meaningless to test cognitive ability or judgment against a high-ranking wizard. “I know very well that we cannot judge your wealth by such means.”
“so?”
“If certain abilities are already so outstanding that it is difficult to examine them one by one ultimately we have no choice but to judge based on comprehensive impressions and feelings.”

Innocence who was smoothing his chin muttered in an ambiguous tone.
“It’s just a matter of who the opponent will be…”
As Claude Azlan said that he slowly began to reveal his hidden momentum.
Fuuuuuuck!!
He had an auditory hallucination that felt like a cold wind was blowing and the magical energy flowing out from under his feet lashed out like a whip and clawed at the ground.
At that moment when the white coat seemed to be fluttering an illusion of innocence arose within Lennok.
Claud’s strong feeling that fills the vast interior of the military building and feels like it’s about to explode.
“Would you like to check it yourself first?”
‘It’s coming…!!’
Each step forward turned into a pure white sword.
Using the simultaneous activation of magical power detection and magical eyes innocent movements are inputted in advance in the prediction area.
Lennok’s neck seemed to bend to one side and then he lowered his posture exquisitely folding from his collarbone to his shoulders.
Immediately after a flash of light passed across my cheek and transformed into a human being.
Paaaaaa!!
A truly eerie sound that comes one step too late.
“Oh my.”
The innocent gaze turned to Lennok who had his body down.
“It’s not the realm of perception and sensation. “You didn’t even think about reacting from the beginning?”
“Whoa…!!”
Even though I only took one evasive action sweat was dripping down my whole body.
Even though all preparations have been made to move the body using the magician’s manipulation the body reacts to the pressure coming from the front.
In Lennok’s mind as he looked at the monster in front of him various pieces of information he had learned earlier were rapidly circulating and being organized.
‘The first player must be the second player through direct reporting. ‘I guess there’s no way I can see and react based on my physical abilities.’
Lennok with Dabi’s help succeeded in obtaining some information about Innocent’s abilities and the microcosm by using the collective intelligence of the deep web.
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the martial arts mainly used by innocents and their abilities which can be assumed based on the pattern of the first attack.
In addition there was information about the mock battle that others had accumulated while discussing the situation assuming a one-on-one decisive battle with Lennok.
A few minutes before the sparring began I had simulated this situation in my head nearly 50 times.
As a result Lennok was able to safely avoid Innocence’s first attack which came through space as soon as it started.
‘Jikbo Sameum (直步杉陰) is a high-level step that approaches across space on the condition of showing the opponent the first step.’
The contradiction of gaining near-perfect mobility by leaving room for reaction.
Even in the martial arts of Tulianmun it is a technique that most perfectly captures the concept of later goodness more than anything else.
If the conditions were to use magic the archangel’s compassion would be twisted in space to check and counterattack.
It is impossible to react and avoid the attack with just Lennok’s body controlled by a magician.
From the beginning we did not even consider perception through the naked eye and the five senses.
Thoroughly predict the movements of the innocent using the ability of the magical eye and the detection of magical power and move first to make the opponent’s attack and defense follow.
For him Lennok had roughly learned and studied the martial arts and techniques used by Innocent and was now standing here.
Innocence seemed to have felt that too and was silent for a moment.
“…I see. “Is that your answer?”
“….”
“Are you trying to dance until you break using yourself as a piece of chess? “You are truly a wizard.”
Flap!!
With a single gesture of innocence the white coat flutters like crazy blocking the view.
A subdued voice of innocence rang out quietly among the fragments of magical power flying everywhere.
“Caria. “Come down here.”
“Grandpa…?”
“I guess you should continue the sparring on my behalf.”
Innocence said that and slowly began to back away.
“I want to take a step back and see what this wizard is trying to show me. “Can you help me?”
“….”
Caria who had been silent soon sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.
Her new form fell from the upper stage of the military attaché and instantly landed on the floor where Lennok and Innocent were standing.
“It’s your grandfather’s request so I’ll help you right now but…”
Karia who glanced at Lennok stepped forward and spoke.
“Once this is over you need to explain clearly.”
“Do you mean this?”
Innocence smiled happily and turned his gaze towards Lennok.
“Although the opponent has changed I believe it will be okay. “This matter is to verify your innocence.”
“….”
“I don’t think there will be any objection to taking the form that is best for you to judge.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Lennok also responded calmly and took his stance again.
At best it has become difficult to utilize 100% of the innocent information and martial arts patterns collected from the deep web.
If Innocent’s granddaughter is the opponent the end result would be no different from dealing with Innocent’s own subordinate counterpart.
If so it is more likely that Lennok will do well in the subsequent sparring.
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he looked at Karia.
“If you’re ready I want to get started quickly. “How much time do you need?”
Lennok said he wanted to quickly complete the test before the drug loses its effectiveness.
However Caria seemed to have taken Lennok’s words as a kind of provocation.
Karia with her lips twitching slowly turned her neck and opened her mouth.
“wizard. “It’s not that I don’t understand why someone with such talent is naturally arrogant but-”
The magical power around Karia’s body began to stir greatly.
Whoa!!
“If you don’t want to die you’d better focus on me now.”
Caria declared with a cold stern face.
“I’m not savvy enough to be able to control my strength well against a half-baby like you like my grandfather…!!”
The concentration of intent that swirled around Karia pounded the ground and gained speed.
Thump thump thump!!
With three loud steps Caria’s body turned into a flash of lightning.
A sharp anticipation rushing diagonally as if passing by at a close distance.
However Lennok twisted his knees and shoulders in different directions on the spot drastically lowering his center of gravity.
Immediately after Caria’s first strike narrowly grazed his back.
Lennok laughed as he looked at Karia’s surprised expression as she stopped at close range.
“It’s not a bad decision to forcefully provoke someone but it would be better to think of more extreme words.”
“…!!”
“The saying ‘half a penny’ is actually not that wrong.”
“How long can we have that much leisure…!!”
Karia’s exasperated hand drew a semicircle in the air simultaneously sweeping all sides of Lennok and disappearing.
Ugh….!!
A serial attack that delivers dozens of strikes at once at close range.
The hand shaking in front of me was slow enough to be seen with the naked eye but the attack and defense that were derived from it were comparable to the speed of sound.
The mysterious meaning of the gap between the beginning and the end as wide as the sky and the earth.
The difference in speed turned into a white flash before Lennok’s eyes and rained down like fire.
Doo doo doo doo doo!!!!
In the midst of the white flames constantly exploding Lennok also manipulated the magician to move his body in a trance.
You can never survive by simply avoiding and receiving.
Only by stepping forward and stretching out knowing that you will not be able to reach can you twist and secure the space to survive.
Karia who was running fast and twisting her shoulders and Lennok’s new form leaning his whole body forward crossed each other on the spot.
Let’s go!!
Every time she moves her body Karia’s movement rushes from place to place at lightning speed and is nothing short of gorgeous and dazzling.
But despite this Karia’s face as she looked at Lennok suddenly became stiff.
The eyes of the warriors who were admiring her movements gradually moved away from him and towards the wizard.
“How can a wizard fight like this against Caria’s defense…?”
“This is absurd. “Is this really possible?”
Karia’s movements and movements are flawless even for warriors who have honed their martial arts skills for a lifetime.
It would be impossible not to be obsessed with power and not to be swept away by the elegant yet sometimes fierce attacks.
However the wizard standing in the middle of the attack was moving his body as if he was completely denying the warriors’ thoughts.
I’m so excited…!!!
While using the magician to manipulate the body it also twists and drains Caria’s magic by applying it to the skin.
Dozens of magical threads intersecting around the two people shrunk and increased flashing strange lights and emitting noises that twisted the air.
The magician’s new form stumbled and scattered as if Karia was attacking her with more than a dozen blows in a single movement.
In a split second more than a dozen thoughts and worries were mixed together in Caria’s mind turning into a huge mess.
‘The balance was lost from the beginning. The movement and movement of the body are actually below standards. And yet…!!’
As if she had already surpassed her limit she accepted Karia’s attacks with a pale complexion but always pushed herself in when necessary.
A fierce battle in which exchanges of attack and defense become more intense while shaking and staggering as if they could break at any moment.
Pabababak!!
At a distance so close that each other’s breath can touch the hands and arms of the two people intersect and overlap entwined from all directions.
Lennok’s body tilts as creepy hands pass over his neck and temples and Karia pushes him forward.
The expressions on the two people’s faces were completely opposite to the superiority and inferiority that seemed at first glance.
The image of Karia biting her lip tightly and Lennok expressionlessly accepting Karia’s attack as if he were about to collapse without even making a sound.
Lennok’s right hand which caught Caria’s fist with his elbow with a clumsy hand gesture collided with Caria’s wrist which rotated in a semicircle almost at the same time.
Crunchy!!
As their arms bounced off each other they stopped exactly at the same time.
Lennok stopped in front of Caria’s side and Caria’s hand curled as if to grab her uvula.
Lennok half collapsed on the military officer’s floor muttered with an expressionless face.
“If he had continued he would have died instantly due to a ruptured abdominal viscera and severed carotid artery.”
“….”
“The ending is less interesting than I thought.”
Laughing Lennok slowly removed his hand and lay down on his seat.
“I lost. “I don’t have the strength to continue.”
“…You lost? “Do you really think so?”
Caria asked with an expression that could not hide her agitation.
Although they only mixed hands for a few minutes Karia noticed that Lennok was a beginner who had never properly learned martial arts.
The way he moves his body is strange and he has no physical sense of how to attack counterattack or give space.
I just concentrated on forcing my body to move my body receiving attacks and letting them go relying entirely on my own cognitive abilities and defensive skills.
‘Even so I almost couldn’t break through.’
If you hadn’t forced yourself to close the distance at the last moment cut off variables by reducing options and dragged it into a power struggle you might have been attacked.
For that monstrous wizard what just happened was ultimately just entertainment to test his abilities.
The moment when Caria who noticed this lost her composure and tried to awaken her magic once more.
Clap clap!!
Slow applause rang out from behind the two people.
“That’s great.”
Innocence was slowly clapping his hands together.
At the same time as he gestured to the other warriors only three people Karia and Innocent Lennok remained in the spacious military hall.
Lennok who struggled to get up wiped away the sweat and asked.
“Are the tests over?”
“Can I ask you one last question?”
The white young man crouched in front of Lennog looked at him blankly.
“I just got convinced. “The injuries afflicting your body are serious to the point of being critical.”
“…”
“After checking it for myself the rumors seem to be meaningless. “I want to know why you want to learn martial arts yourself.”
“…There is no great reason.”
Lennok slowly chose an answer thought about it and then chuckled.
“Because this is the situation we are trying to find other methods and measures. “Do you think there is another reason?”
Circumstances indicate that he was seriously injured in a battle with Madrich Onion.
Thanks to that information Lennok was able to freely disclose the fact that he was not in good shape without disclosing his penalty.
Judging by Jenny’s reaction I am convinced that even this state after taking the Archangel’s Tears looks close to a dying body to others.
Innocence also accepted Lennok’s condition as similar and was asking why Lennok wanted to learn martial arts.
“I see….”
A look of unconcealed admiration appeared on Innocent’s face as he quietly pondered Lennok’s answer.
“Even with a body like that you haven’t given up on your will to rise yet. “After all you are already a great warrior.”
“….”
“Transcendent cognitive ability and evasion that is close to precognition. “The self-control ability to strictly set the limits of what one’s physical capabilities can accept and the ability to self-contemplate to accurately judge the condition of an injured body.”
Innocence slowly stood up and spoke.
“This is my first time seeing such an extreme case. “As someone who explores martial arts it is clear that this is a very interesting case and worth studying.”
Those eyes which had felt somewhat cloudy and blurry were suddenly regaining their clear focus.
At this moment of exploring martial arts the mental problems that plague Innocence are also disappearing.
“I’ve never thought of taking someone who doesn’t have basic skills as my student but… I’ve made a decision.”
Innocence stood up and nodded.
“I will teach you fighting skills. “I will use that as compensation for this operation.”
“Grandpa…!!”
Caria turned her head with a surprised expression.
“How can we teach taboo rituals that are not even allowed in the text to outsiders…!!”
“Let’s explain and talk about what a two-in is.”
“Well it doesn’t refer to a very difficult meaning or form. This may be the skill you need more than anything else. In a word…”
He laughed as if his innocence was amused by Lennok’s harsh question.
“It’s a way to move your body with your mind.”
