Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 137

Dabi (1)

Seeing the students playing riotously with Dabi bouncing in the air, Lennok smiled slightly.

The relaxed atmosphere is not bad enough to make you wonder if this is okay.

At the very least, it will be of considerable help in raising the reputation of assistant professor Evan Bylon.

It was a plate that I wasn’t used to, but it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t stand it.

Thinking so, he was infusing Davi’s lack of magic power into Priscilla’s side.

“Why don’t you go and touch it?”

Actually, the feeling of touching the spirit may not be as realistic as expected, but it is not at all tactile.

However, Darby is not a spirit that actually came from the spiritual dimension, but rather a brain spirit that was born by combining an artificial intelligence module and necromancy, so it will lack a sense of reality than other spirits.

Priscilla put on a worried expression for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and shook her head.

“…..are you okay. Just looking at it like this is enough.”

“……..”

“This is the first time I’ve seen a spirit up close. When you breathe life into an agglomeration of magical power, it moves like this.”

“Is it a different feeling from reading a book?”

Priscilla immediately agreed to Lennok’s question.

Just as it is difficult to find a wizard among ordinary people, it is extremely rare among wizards to deal with elemental magic.

Even Aris, who belonged to Sinclair’s Mage Tower and served as a university professor, had not seen Elementalists a few times, so it was needless to say how rare their numbers were.

The reason Aris decided to actively introduce Darby to the students was probably because she judged that this kind of positive effect would be much greater.

In fact, Lennok was getting along very naturally with Aris’ students through Darby as a medium.

Even Lennok could see that the sense of distance, which should have taken a considerable amount of time to reduce, was disappearing like snow.

It is not difficult to start a conversation just by having something to talk about together.

The other students, including Priscilla, were also talking to Lennok much more comfortably than before.

Perhaps the curiosity about him, who entered Aris as a researcher without any connection, also played a part.

It wasn’t surprising.

“If I knew how to deal with such a cute spirit, I would have reduced unnecessary rumors if I had revealed it earlier.”

“It was difficult to disclose easily.”

Lennok skillfully put the right words around.

“As elemental magicians are so rare, the professor must have had a hard time judging whether it would be helpful for me to open this to students.”

“…Well, if you’re investing most of your mana in the Spirit Spells, then it’s understandable that your body’s mana is so faint.”

“I thought it was right to act rationally even if I had to put up with such rumors.”

It is also true that as soon as it was revealed that Evan was a spirit sorcerer, many of the subtle gazes toward him disappeared.

The reason Aris suddenly transfused a new researcher from outside.

And it must be because the existence of the spirit could explain the various circumstances that the researcher had not properly revealed about what kind of talent he had.

From the point of view of Lennok and Aris, the front and rear seemed to fit perfectly, but it would be rather strange if they did not actively use this.

Priscilla’s understanding of what had happened clearly revealed what other students would think of an assistant professor named Evan.

“Evan.”

The break time passed in an instant, and Aris, who came back into the classroom, called Lennok outside.

He handed over the pen Aris was holding to Lennok, who came out of the classroom with Darby in his arms.

“There is a meeting between the professors in a hurry, so I think we have to go.”

“yes?”

“It’s a bit urgent, so please take the kids with you for the rest of the time and send them when you have time.”

After saying that, she went into the classroom and finished explaining to the students, then grabbed a white blazer and quickly left.

“…….”

Lennok let out a short sigh as he watched the woman walk away as she busily walked away.

“By the way, I had something to ask you.”

A rainbow-colored jewel obtained in battle with the exploration team.

It is part of the parts that made up the archangel’s compassion, but it has not yet achieved any results.

It takes some time to collect data with Sebastian, and it is undesirable to move first in a situation where there is no information on the situation.

I stopped by the school to refer to the materials that existed in the university library, but unexpectedly, there were more things to do.

“I can go to the lab or library after the lecture.”

As Lennok muttered, he was about to head back to the classroom, but stopped when he saw something protruding from his chest.

Darby was blatantly sticking her head out, staring at the jewel Lennok was holding.

Darby’s gaze, which flicked his tongue as if looking at an appetizing fruit, wandered through the air and met Lennok’s.

“……..”

[………]

There was silence.

“I’ll tell you in advance, but absolutely not.”

[I haven’t said anything yet.]

“No.”

Lennok had no intention of seeing Darby gobble up a jewel of such great value.

Handing this item over to the spirit without knowing exactly how much it will benefit is the worst move.

Crucially, in order to deal with the remaining exploration team and bring out Irina Pesfield, this jewel was essential.

Darby, who had been silent, spoke softly.

[Not that I really want to eat that jewel.]

“What do you mean by that?”

[Seeing the structural pattern, which is fundamentally different from the techniques I have analyzed so far, it is sufficient just to observe and analyze it up close.]

“…….”

[It would be very helpful if you could just make it so I can carry it around. I think it looks like it.]

Seeing her talking like this while bringing up words that she wouldn’t normally say, it’s understandable how much Darby wants that jewel.

However, if, as Darby said, there is a way to research that ability without losing the jewel…

“Umm…”

[I’ll be careful not to let Master worry about it.]

“….. ….”

The spirit, noticing Lennok’s feelings like a ghost, quietly added words.

He was so meticulous that it was hard to see him as a newborn baby less than two months old.

But if you don’t believe in another life, but one that Lennok created himself, then what should you trust?

If nothing else, Darby would never betray him.

Based on all that judgment and reason, Lennok nodded with difficulty.

“good. Instead, you should put it where I can see it.”

[You don’t have to worry about that…dot.]

As soon as Darby said that, it seemed that it was quite unbearable, and immediately clung to Lennok’s hand.

Lennok let out a deep sigh as he watched Darby leaping excitedly through the air, clutching a jewel that was half of his body in its front paws.

Even if it looks that way, as much as it is a brain spirit, it can freely go back and forth between materialization and non-materialization, so it won’t happen that you lose your jewels absurdly.

The problem was that it was a little different from the image of Darby that I showed to the students earlier.

“Haa… so conspicuous. Can you usually hide it?”

Darby immediately nodded. Along with that, the jewel clutched in her forepaw instantly turned into a blur.

[It’s not difficult if you use the principle of optical camouflage.]

“When you get used to it, tell me what you can do. First of all, we need to find out what kind of ability the Archangel’s Compassion has.”

After saying that, Lennok took Darby in his arms and went back into the classroom.

It was like I had free time unexpectedly, but the atmosphere in the classroom did not change that much.

Aris also tends to give lectures more broadly than other professors, so there are many days when classes end early, and other lectures follow right after her lecture in this classroom.

Lennok kept his seat until the end of Aris’ lecture, and it was enough when he came out.

‘There’s about 40 minutes left. It’s ambiguous.’

It is an ambiguous time to do something with other students, and it is a difficult time to leave it alone.

It would be problematic for Lennok, who had just been appointed assistant professor, to teach instead of Aris.

Recalling his experience on Earth, he roughly taught himself and was about to stand in front of the podium, but someone shouted loudly at Lennok.

“Professor, show me the spirit magic ceremony!”

“Oh that’s good!”

“I want to see the magic the spirit uses!!”

Public opinion is ignited in an instant with a topic once brought up by someone.

The students seemed a bit excited as they had few opportunities to see the spirits in person.

It’s not difficult.

First of all, since Darby takes on the form of a lightning fox, Lennok should be able to imitate Darby while shooting lightning-type magic in moderation.

To put it bluntly, none of the wizards present had the sensitivity to see through Lennok’s tricks.

Anyway, let’s show what we’re going to show here while we’ve uncovered the spirits and move on.

Thinking so, Lennok, who had summoned Darby, was about to lightly raise his mana.

Turbuck.

Someone strode out and stood in front of the podium.

Practical hairstyle cut short on top. The whole body is filled with magic power and a sturdy physique to match.

Although she wears the insignia of belonging to Rabatenon University loosely, she has a mature appearance that makes it hard to realize that she is a student.

Although he was a young man who did not stand out among more than 100 Elementary School students, Lenok immediately remembered his face.

He was one of those people who occasionally showed a dissatisfied expression while looking at Lenok, even now, when his eyes on him had begun to loosen up.

His name was probably…Roden Bailey.

“Is there a problem?”

“If you’re going to show off the spirit magic ceremony, wouldn’t it be better to have someone with you?”

Roden gave up his blunt expression and grinned.

“I want to experience firsthand what the spirit magic ceremony is like.”

“………”

Lennok averted his gaze at the obvious words.

He casually crossed his arms and gestured outwards.

The forearm, visible through the hem of the shirt rolled up, was thicker than expected. Rather than a magician, his body was closer to that of a trained warrior.

“There is an abrasive right in front of the lecture hall, and it seems like the perfect place to show assistant professors casting spirits.”

His words are still coming out well, but Lennok is not so stupid as to be unable to read the intention behind his words and facial expressions.

Rod was obviously using the elemental magic ceremony as bait to make an unnecessary fight against Lennok.

‘Why?’

But instead of being angry or laughing at the fact, Lennok quietly tried to guess the principle of action.

No matter how much I thought about it, it wouldn’t be helpful to pick a fight with Lennok at this point.

If it was the time when he had just been appointed as an assistant professor and heard the word “parachute” and was unknowingly resentful, it is not easy to get a good response from the people around him now that he has managed to get along with the undergraduate students and build a good impression with Darby’s cuteness.

To put it mildly, it was an extremely emotional judgment, and there were not many benefits that Rodon could gain by thinking rationally.

“Bailey. Class isn’t over yet.”

Sensing an unusual atmosphere, Priscilla came down to the podium and coldly fired at him.

“Are you saying you’re going to go outside without Professor Richellen?”

“Priscilla…”

He looked at Priscilla and stuttered a little, then murmured, averting her gaze.

“Ah, it doesn’t matter anyway.”

“What did you say?”

“I just brought up the words because I wanted to get closer to the assistant professor.

“That’s it now…”

Priscilla strode towards Rodon with a puzzled look on his face, but Rodon turned his head with a completely different attitude.

That subtle reaction, completely different from when he looked at Lennok.

Priscilla seemed even more angry at the stiff attitude, but Lennok saw something quite different from her there.

Awkward attitude and stiff tone of voice that can’t even make eye contact properly.

And even the red-hot earlobes that don’t match.

Realizing the answer only then, Lennok laughed with a dejected expression.

“Was this…?”

I had forgotten about it because I had been moving only in the dark for so long.

What is the use of being of the opposite sex and nabal in a university full of fresh young people?

It is a natural age to roll your eyes in front of unrequited love.

Even Lennok’s limbs shriveled at the soft scenery he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Of course, Priscilla’s expression when she was facing Rodon didn’t look like that at all.
