The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 590
Spirit growth promotion ritual (1)
It was true that Mila’s lateness almost messed things up but Lennok didn’t want to waste time pointing it out.
Since Antares knows that Ban and Evan are the same person he knows that there will be no problems with Evan’s safety.
Nevertheless the reason for attaching a mercenary corps member as an escort is because it requires the ‘fact’ that someone is protecting Evan’s personal safety.
Rather it is highly likely that the security deployment was relaxed to account for Lennok’s schedule and movements.
In order to provide security only when Evan goes to work at university one of the members must stand by inside the school and meet Lennok’s schedule.
This incident felt too sudden to be held responsible for the security vacuum that occurred in the process.
It’s not a situation that can be overlooked and overlooked but I know that there are reasons for taking responsibility and questioning mistakes.
In times like these Lennok knew that there was a good solution: money.
‘It will be enough to claim compensation from the Antares mercenaries later.’
Of course it seemed possible that the cost of compensation would be taken out of Mila’s wallet but that was none of Lennok’s business.
Mila’s eyes narrowed as she followed him to the two unconscious shamans completely unaware of Lennok’s thoughts.
“One is the leopard mask I caught and who is this? “What a disgusting monkey mask you have.”
“It’s a magic group called Goesingung.”
Lennok stopped thinking about Mila’s question and answered calmly.
“He is the person who currently occupies Labatenon University and caused terrorism.”
“I know these bastards tried to capture the kids here and take them hostage. “What is the exact purpose?”
“I think we need to find out why now.”
Priscilla who was listening to the conversation between the two people asked as if she was dumbfounded.
“No you don’t even know who the person is so you caught him and beat him up?”
“According to my personal experience all those who wear strange masks are suspicious idiots.”
Mila said confidently.
“Looks like things worked out somewhat well thanks to me!”
“….”
Priscilla who was looking at Mila with an absurd gaze soon sighed.

“okay. Anyway it would have been nice if we could safely rescue Assistant Professor Cassia. good job.”
“That’s right. “I see you understand what’s important!”
Mila sneakily approached Lennok while looking at him and whispered quietly.
“I thought I could make up for it by catching this leopard cub but I guess not…?”
“A lot of things happen at once.”
Lennok smiled and answered without raising an eyebrow.
“Still I’m glad things worked out well.”
Since we did not know how many shamans from the Ghost God Palace were scattered throughout the lecture hall of the Department of Elemental Studies it was necessary to count their number and neutralize them as quickly as possible.
Although I was concerned about the leopard’s attitude and the attention of external surveillance students I did most of the work alone.
In the end I should say I’m glad that things worked out well thanks to Mila’s help.
“Things have come to this but where on earth is the Dean…!!”
“Seeing as communication with the outside world has not yet been established it is clear that there is someone behind these shamans.”
Lennok calmly responded to Cassia’s words.
“The dean may be tied to the person behind it and find it difficult to make any official moves. so….”
[Buuu!!]
Lennok said holding up a furry spirit resembling a mountain goat that was bleating incessantly at his feet.
“I was trying to inform you of the abnormality by sending your spirit instead.”
“Oh is this cotton candy-looking thing a spirit?”
Mila suddenly took the dean’s spirit in Lennok’s arms and started massaging it.
“It’s amazing. It actually kills the sense of touch right? Hey… every elementalist carries around one of these pets.”
[A couple!!]
The spirit wriggled wildly as if protesting against Mila’s fur-rubbing attitude then jumped up and sat on Lennok’s shoulder again.
Lennok patted the spirit’s head and continued speaking.
“The strange situation of the dean and the spirit being separated and the dean himself being unable to move. And it contains the entire message that the essence of the current situation is related to spirits.”
“that….”
“You are saying that the beast that this shaman used earlier is a type of spirit.”
“But I don’t think the Dean sent the spirit with such deep meaning in mind…”
“….”
Cassia’s answer seemed to not have much confidence in the dean’s planning.
“The problem is that apart from dealing with the shamans in the lecture building of the Department of Elemental Sciences we have not yet been able to properly uncover the reason behind this incident.”
Lennoc cleared his throat and quickly changed the topic.
“If we don’t decide here what their purpose is and how to deal with it with the students we won’t be able to move any further.”
“Do you need someone to interrogate these witch doctors? “I wondered what was so difficult again.”
Mila grinned and began to raise her magic power.
“I’m taking the kids out for a bit. “I’ll make these beasts speak human language within 5 minutes.”

The way Mila got the shamans to open their mouths was simple.

Monkeys and leopards are placed in separate classrooms where they are coaxed and scolded and their information is compared.
The person caught on the other side claims to have leaked information and demands cross-verification making them spit out information first in a situation where they cannot trust each other.
The starting point was the information Lennoc found out from other shamans.
The shamans who began to suspect each other had no choice but to suffer even though they knew it was a commonly used tactic.
“A spirit growth promotion ritual?”
“…okay.”
The shaman wearing a monkey mask spoke in a weak voice with his limbs bound.
When the leopard was caught did they think there was no hope for them anymore?
“The spirits that our shamans work with are fundamentally similar to other spirits but their essence is tied to the magic system called shamanism.”
Was he concerned that the invisible leopard would get the information first and become comfortable?
The monkey quickly looked at Mila’s eyes and chose his words.
“Therefore by offering high-quality catalysts or magic ingredients you can make the spirit stronger and ultimately transform it into a being that is free from the limitations of the spirit.”
“A being that escapes the limitations of spirits….”
“It does not end with simply obtaining higher intelligence and greater power. It is essentially a special power that is not allowed to spirits…”
The monkey stopped talking and looked up at Lennok’s shoulder.
[….]
Dabi who received that gaze flicked his tongue and rubbed his forehead with his tail as if he was annoyed.
Although he knew what the monkey was thinking Lennok needlessly changed the topic before more attention was focused on Dabi.
“What this means is that humans were selected as the material used in the process.”
The monkey closed its mouth in anger at Lennok’s words.
“Are you not going to answer any further?”
Mila grinned and patted the monkey’s cheek.
“Then next time let’s talk to that idiot in a leopard mask. Instead if he says something do you know what will happen to you?”
The monkey’s mouth opened again as he saw her standing up and leaving the classroom.
“We warm up as ordinary humans and then offer up wizards.”
“….”
“We make offerings to wizards of lower levels in stages to sequentially elevate their spirit existence.”
The monkey continued speaking in silence.
“The purity of magical power is important. We need a large number of wizards who are in good condition but low in rank. And the only environment in this city that can satisfy him….”
“You mean it was Labatenon College of Magic?”
Lennok said and shook his head.
“You’re crazy. “It is absurd that something like this is happening in the inner Balkans.”
“I told you there was someone behind Evan. “Isn’t that what happened because of you?”
“Even if the Central Council is behind it it is unrealistic to take on this level of risk.”
“why?”
Mila asked and kicked the monkey to the floor of the classroom.
thud!
“Among the students at the University of Magic there are many noble families and wealthy people. “Even though I knew that the fallout from this incident would be severe I tolerated the Gosingung’s plan to use the students as offerings…”
Lennok nodded looking at the shaman’s shaking gaze.
“It is difficult to explain without someone among the lawmakers deciding to share in the achievements of Goesingung Palace or going out of their way to cover up a similar plan.”
“Tsk…!! “If you’re going to kill me kill me quickly!!”
The monkey said with a face that had given up all desire to live.
“I told you everything I know. “A subject I have no intention of saving…!!”
From the perspective of the monkey who knew that the pigs and elephants died at the hands of Lennok he could not have dreamed of a future where he would live here.
However despite this the reason he obediently shared information amid threats being exchanged between the leopard and himself was to alleviate some of the pain along the way.
It is not a surrender to the physical pain that will come.
He knew very well that because Lennok was an elementalist like a monkey he could cause more pain and suffering than others.
But Mila stepped on the monkey’s shoulder and shook her head.
“No you haven’t told me anything important yet.”
“What is it…!!”
“Head of the Ghost God Palace. “Where are they now?”
Looking at the speechless monkey Lennok poured magic into Dabi.
Dismissal!!
Lennok asked looking down at him along with the Thunder Spirit which began emitting brilliant electricity from its body again.
“If you had gone into hiding in Labatenon after committing a terrorist attack in District 34 the leader would have been with you. “It makes no sense for the leader not to participate in an operation that puts the fate of the organization at stake.”
“….”
“If these are the only shamans targeting the students of the Department of Elements then the head of that department would select an entire department left in the school. “Where are you?”
“I can’t say anything….”
The monkey’s face which said so expanded little by little and then its flesh began to burst like bubbles.
“I… I want to become like this… Just with my spirit…!!”
Ugh!!
The monkey’s head exploded on the spot scattering its contents all over the classroom.
Naturally blood and other liquids splashed onto Lennok who was standing in front of him but Dabi who had already raised his magical powers burned them all on the spot leaving no trace.
Mila frowned at the stench that filled the classroom.
“So what should we do now? Should we go and do the same thing to the leopard?”
“…It won’t be of much use.”
Lennok answered as he walked out avoiding the blood stains on the floor.
“In order to place this kind of suicide trigger on a high-ranking superhuman it often takes several people to agree on one rule at the same time. “Maybe by now…”
thud!!
A dull sound of something crashing echoed from the classroom next to where the leopard was kept.
It was obvious without needing to ask that this was the impact sound made by a headless body like this monkey falling down.
Mila pouted and shrugged her shoulders.
“There was a reason why the question about the leader of the Ghost God Palace was chosen last. “Did you think it would turn out like this from the beginning?”
“These are people who are crazy enough to carry out terrorist attacks in the Balkan region and then take one step further.”
Lennok sighed.
“It wouldn’t be surprising if this kind of extreme secrecy oath was shared by all members of the organization.”
“Hmm.”
“Do you have any other opinions?”
“No that’s not it….”
Mila rested her chin and narrowed her eyes.
“Somehow the way he thinks is exactly like the wizard I know.”
[….]
Dabi who was in Lennok’s arms swallowed his saliva.
“Yes the electricity emitted by that spirit is somewhat similar. “The magic power pattern is completely different but the sense of bloody speed is similar.”
“If a magician is close to a member of the Antares mercenary group he must be a talented person.”
“Skills? No need to say anything… Huh? I think something similar to this was said before. “Isn’t it?”
“I don’t really remember.”
Mila tilted her head and then shook her head at the sight of Lennok sticking out his flippers without even blinking.
“Well… I don’t think he’s working as an assistant professor at school and I have a similar feeling. “This is a very very great compliment.”
“okay.”
“Perhaps I would have succeeded even if I had chosen to become a battle wizard rather than a researcher.”
“….”
Should I say this feels good?
“Anyway I will be handling the scene so please explain the situation to the others first.”
“All right.”
Lennok came out of the classroom hallway leaving Mila roughly cleaning up the body of the shaman who wore monkey and leopard masks.
“It’s a ritual to promote spirit growth….”
[Master. I just want to be praised and worshiped by organisms and I don’t really want to make an offering.]
“what?”
Lennok asked back without thinking and then realized the meaning of Dabi’s words and laughed.
Now this fox spirit was worried that Lennok would try to raise Dabi through human sacrifice.
“Don’t worry unnecessarily. “Regardless of the effectiveness of human sacrifice I have no intention of having you do something that would pollute your spirituality.”
[Hmm I wasn’t worried…]
Although he knew how ridiculous the efficiency of human sacrifice was through his contact with the Guido Church Lennok had no intention of dabbling in such shamanic techniques in the future.
Regardless of individual morality and ethics human sacrifice is a Geass based on the immoral image of sacrificing fellow human beings.
It is a fatal twist that once taken will change even the direction of Lennok’s chosen answer.
Even if it is inevitable to deal with them and come into contact with them Lennok should refrain from using the golden art directly.
What Lennok had in mind was not a story about human sacrifice.
“The spirit growth promotion ritual itself is a secret technique passed down among shamans and the Ghost God Palace sacrifices humans to increase the efficiency of the ritual.”
[Right….]
“Then don’t you think that if you adjust the consciousness itself well it will help you grow?”
[yes?]
Lennok laughed as he watched Dabi raise his tail.
“In return for attacking the Far East branch of the Guido Church Grisha said he could freely use all the items on the island.”
[uh? then….]
“I think we could start here today and try until we get rid of all the assets of the Far East branch of the church.”
If the ritual is to be carried out even by carrying out a terrorist attack on Labatenon Magic University it is proof that the effectiveness and efficiency of the ritual is certain.
If we apply that consciousness directly to Dabi who shares some of Lennok’s talents how far can we raise the hierarchy of the Thunder Spirits?
A rare opportunity that might grow the hierarchy of spirits rather than Lennok himself.
He knew that he could not only stop at preventing terrorism but also gain new growth potential for elemental arts.
‘It’s been a while since the tail stopped at the fourth.’
So far we have allowed Dabi to grow naturally but if there is no change it may be time for external stimulation or trial and error.
In order to try anything you must first obtain the complete spirit growth promotion ritual.
Lennok thought about that and immediately called Cassia and informed her of the facts he had learned from interrogating the shamans.
“You died trying to talk about the head of the Ghost God Palace…”
“If the leader had not infiltrated the university there would be no need to take this measure.”
Lennok nodded at Cassia’s thoughtful words.
“It seems certain that the head of the Gosingung Palace is carrying out another ritual inside the school.”
“Are you planning on stopping it?”
Cassia said that and looked back at the undergraduate students.
“But if we move to prevent this situation now it will be difficult to protect students. However waiting for outside help right now….”
The situation is too bad.
By now other executives at the Ghost God Palace would have begun to notice that a large number of shamans dispatched to the Department of Elemental Science had died.
If he stays in the lecture hall like this it may not be outside help that arrives but the shamans of the Mysterious Shrine.
“Then it’s simple.”
Lennok nodded.
“We just need to evacuate the students safely and move to find the head of the Ghost God Palace.”
“…yes?”
“Professor Assistant what kind of nonsense is that?”
Cassia and Mila shook their heads in bewilderment.
How can the people gathered here solve the tasks of protecting students and resolving this situation at the same time?
Two goals that can only be achieved by moving in completely opposite directions either as ends or as means.
But Lennok was saying that there was a way to do both.
“Do you remember what means of transportation the shamans of the Demon God Palace used when entering the Labatenon College of Magic?”
