Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 768

Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Chapter 768

Third Thesis (2)

Area 10. The office on the top floor of the Baritz headquarters district.

Standing by the window of a skyscraper soaring high into the sky, Icabon looks down at the window with an expressionless face.

The distance below your feet is like a small bird’s-eye view, so far away that the moving people look as small as dust.

However, in his eyes, all the scenery of the street was reflected as clearly as if he were seeing it right in front of him.

Wear of tires running on the road. The roots of dug up roadside trees. Cracks in cracked asphalt.

And even the figure of a researcher who glanced around and disappeared from afar.

In his arms as he walked away on foot, there was a large, well-wrapped box.

“You think you know?”

Icabon, who was looking out the window in silence, asked, and Dante, who was standing quietly behind him, answered.

“If you thought no, you wouldn’t have asked.”

“… … .”

“Even if he didn’t know, he’s clever enough to infer from the reaction on this side.”

At Baritz, we do not neglect to collect information about the big people who affect the whole city.

That researcher who made his name known instantly by publishing two papers is an extremely dangerous variable for them.

As much as they try to be vigilant and stay away from them, they are clearly acknowledging their ability and genius.

“Among the core development staff at the head office, it seems that there are quite a few people who were influenced by Professor Bylon.”

said Dante.

“We are watching the progress, but if Professor Bylon intends to present his third paper at this seminar, it will be difficult to ignore the aftermath.”

“Haha.”

Laughing lightly, Icarbon swiveled back his burning eyes.

“That Prescott. never kill me gracefully Got it?”

“All right.”

“After handing over to a new candidate to be inserted into the advisory committee, I will put it into an experiment. Get ready by then.”

“There’s something I’d like to tell you about the experiment.”

said Dante.

“It is too soon. The car has just been restored to the test bed, and if the experiment is started without proper verification, the harm will be too great.”

“It’s been a few months since Area 25 investigated the traces and restored the records of the test bed.”

At the man’s direct words, Ikabon snorted.

“If you don’t hurry, the senate will intervene. You’re not saying that because you don’t know that, are you?”

“… … .”

“The powers of those gnomes are so old that it’s hard to predict the limits. You’ll know that it’s the only rope, so you won’t even try to let go until you die.”

Icarbon turned his cold gaze back out the window.

“It would be a more constructive conversation to make a deal with the Senate.”

“I will ask the central council for mediation. If the conditions are right, in the right line-”

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

Icarbon cut off the man’s words with his eyes shining brightly.

“The Senate sees the project as a matter of life, not interest. I will not compromise under any circumstances.”

“… … .”

“But neither do I. If we can restore Kaise Bajour’s experiment in Area 25, then this kind of quarrel will be a trivial matter.”

“I think it must be worth it, but… … .”

“So don’t worry about the senate’s checks and prepare. We are in a position to defy fate, even for the sake of our father.”

Icabon’s smile reflected through the window was darkly distorted.

“All I wonder is how many times have we stood in front of the projects Kaise left behind.”

* * *

After completing the deal with Ikabon, Lennok returned to the private laboratory with the helmet made by the leader.

No matter how you think about it, this snow-white helmet is too conspicuous to leave in Rabatenon’s lab.

Even if it takes a while, it would be better to keep it here and leave.

“I was wondering why I made something like this using the Magical Flow Reproduction Module… … .”

Lennok muttered as he projected the inside of the helmet with an analysis device in the lab.

“It’s actually something that acts like a life support system. This is unexpected.”

Lennock thought that if the leader had first tried what he was trying to achieve through the thesis, it was unlikely that the result would be a life support system.

However, as a result of examining the internal structure of the helmet, it was found that the information confirmed in the Baritz database was not very wrong.

“There is a part like a respirator inside the helmet. It has a minimal design so that breathing and vision can be secured while wearing it.”

Lennok was troubled.

“On the contrary, it is a very poor armor in terms of its ability to protect the head. It may not have been made for battle.”

[That’s why I said it.]

As if Darby had been waiting, he climbed onto Lennok’s shoulder and showed condescension.

[They must have become that way because they tried to create a life support system and failed.]

“… … .”

Darby, along with Lennok, is the only one who witnessed the secrets of all the world up close, including the cult leader.

However, if Darby, who was born as a brain spirit, doesn’t have any problems even after checking those secrets and mysteries right in front of her.

Is it because the existence of Darby is a creation born of Lennok?

However, rather than worrying about Darby’s existence, Lennok focused on inferring the function of the pitching side.

“Respirator… … it’s breathing Why do I have to breathe using a helmet?”

If it is simply for assisting breathing, there are much simpler and more convenient designs out there.

Even so, if there is a reason why the life support device was designed in such a way that it is heavy on the head.

I should have brought the corpse that was also wearing the helmet.

However, it was confirmed at the scene that the corpse itself did not have any characteristics.

The only thing the leader left behind was this helmet. It is just a by-product of an already failed attempt.

The moment when Lennok thought so and was immersed in agony.

Darby lifted the helmet with his front paws and threw it over his head.

[It’s heavy.]

“… … .”

[I think you’ll be able to sleep here if you squeeze in a little bit.]

“Don’t wear it for a long time. Just in case something goes wrong.”

Even after seeing the traces of the leader, I don’t think there will be any problems with Dabi, but wearing the helmet directly may be a different problem.

Thinking so, Lennok put on the helmet and looked at the squirming little fox.

It feels very ridiculous to see him jumping around inside the helmet with only his head covered.

The shape of the strangely enlarged head is as if looking at an astronaut’s helmet-

“… … no way.”

Lennok, whose face hardened, lifted his helmet and put it on.

Lennok murmured, standing motionless in front of Darby, who was slumped and wearing a helmet.

“okay. It wasn’t a device to sustain the life of the cult leader himself. That’s why I didn’t know.”

[Master?]

“If it’s an item that has increased the circulation of magic to the extreme in order to survive outside… … After all, what the teacher was trying to do… … Putting down the helmet

, Lennok removed the respirator parts that were built into it on the spot.

After confirming that the magic flow reproduction module Lennok wanted was being used as a filter, Lennok immediately left the private laboratory.

“Let’s go back to Lavatenon. I need to complete the prototype within today and finalize the seminar schedule.”

Beep Big!!

When I opened my phone, I saw dozens of missed calls from the dean.

It was probably that Baritsu Corp. organized the situation, informed them, and asked for confirmation.

He thought it would help to clear things up if he didn’t hide the trouble he and Prescott had in the studio from the dean.

Upon returning to Rabatenon, people were already waiting for Lennok in Aris’s laboratory.

Lennok, who entered the lab with his gown on, looked at the old man standing in front of him and lowered his head.

“Dean.”

“You really never sit still.”

Facing Lennok who returned to the lab, the dean sighed and said,

“When the hell did you go around and make a fuss like that?”

“It wasn’t my intention, but… … .”

The complexion on his face was dead, no matter how much he had suffered in that moment.

“As a result, it worked out well, isn’t it fortunate?”

“… … So, which one is it really?”

Bayla, who was in the lab with the dean, looked at Lennok bluntly and asked.

A magician who is the director of the Carlyle Lab and serves as a temporary professor in place of Aris.

It’s already been quite some time since she also worked as a director and a professor at the same time.

Bayla studied Lennok’s face, her eyes shining sharply.

“I wonder what kind of deal he had with Baritz that led to him getting a sponsorship contract.”

“The whole process doesn’t always go smoothly, does it?”

Lennok smiled bitterly and averted his gaze.

“In the process of adjusting the conditions, there are times when we raise our voices to each other.”

“These days, young people fight until they die of exhaustion and pass out, so it seems that they say ‘their voices have risen’.”

[This is why the quick-witted organism… … .]

While Darby grumbled in his arms, Lennok casually changed the subject.

“Still, I think the thesis will be completed smoothly with Baritz’s support. I think I can really just focus on the seminar now.”

“Ah, I have news to tell you about that part.”

The dean cleared his throat with a slightly perplexed look before opening his mouth.

“The other day, I spoke about your seminar presentation and sent an invitation to the Mage Tower, but I got a reply yesterday.”

“… … Is that so?”

I don’t remember that Lenok was involved in the decision-making, but did Tatiana take care of the matter arbitrarily?

Considering the agreement with Hagiyama Tower, I always had to organize my position over the presentation of the thesis.

“Apart from the agreement, the Magic Tower is concerned about your safety. Considering your announcement, it’s hard to guarantee safety.”

The dean delivering a message, and Baila listening, seeming to agree.

There was an uproar while preparing for the seminar, so it’s not strange to think that way in the Mage’s Tower.

asked Lennok, pretending not to know.

“I don’t know what your purpose is. Do you mean to send bodyguards?”

“No, what you suggest is… … .”

The dean shook his head as if he was in trouble.

“They asked about holding your seminar presentation at the Mage Tower.”

“… … .”

Only then did Lennok understand why Jenny and Tatiana had passed this reply to Rabatenon without checking it.

Tatiana, who directly participated in the agreement, should be aware that Evan Bylon’s research achievements are exclusively disclosed at the Mage’s Tower.

With that in mind, he must have thought that moving the seminar presentation to the Mage Tower was not necessary to seek permission from his class.

Looking at Lennok, who was lost in thought, the dean said.

“At the time of the last agreement, didn’t the Department of Elements skip the project demonstration? It seems that the Mage Tower is going to deal with what happened then this time.”

“… … .”

“In addition, he mentioned how Kyeonroe solved the runaway in the Necromantics Department. Whether it’s collecting debts or keeping promises, I think I want to make your presentation at the Mage’s Tower.”

“okay.”

The dean, not noticing Lennok’s formality, murmured in agony.

“There seems to be a working-level staff with a very meticulous personality among those who assist Kyeon-roe. He had a better understanding of what was going on then than I did.”

The way Jenny calculated the profit and loss was impeccable to Lennok’s eyes, so it was only natural that the dean felt that way.

However, Lennok did not dare to express himself, but asked the dean in return.

“What do you think, dean?”

“I, of course, would like you to make a presentation inside Rabatenon, but… … .”

The dean groaned and answered with difficulty.

“Considering the circumstances, I don’t think there’s anything I can’t do with the Mage Tower’s offer.”

“… … .”

“Haven’t you already presented your second thesis at the fair? Giving a presentation outside of college will not obscure its meaning.”

Apparently, the dean had already come to a conclusion by the time he received the Mage Tower’s reply.

“At the time of the agreement, I owed Gyeon-roe in many ways. If you can be satisfied with this incident, I’d like to leave it up to you to decide.”

“okay.”

“Oh, of course, if you want to give a presentation at school, of course we will respect your decision. I don’t want to do anything that I didn’t have after preparing grandiosely!”

While the dean grumbled, Bayla, who had been quietly listening to the story, nodded.

“It would be nice to announce at the Mage Tower. Do not listen to Cyolus.”

“Bayla! I’m not going to force Evan to the end… … !!”

“I also read the abstract of the thesis you submitted.”

Bayla raised her cold gaze to Lennok.

“It was full of crazy content. You don’t think that after announcing such achievements, the reaction around you will be fine, right?”

“… … .”

“No one can predict what will happen. It would be safer to announce the achievements under the protection of fastness.”

It might be better to hope for Aris to come back soon… … Lennok looked away from Bayla, who muttered.

Cassia, who had been silently listening to the conversation behind Lennok, and the other faculty members who were calm and worried.

Other professors who have become very close after the agreement incident do not seem to be very opposed to the dean’s decision.

Lennok looked at them and was lost in thought.

‘I thought it wouldn’t matter where the announcement was made… … .’

Considering the time of the fair, it is unlikely that Lennok’s announcement will not be broadcasted.

Of course, it’s not a bad suggestion from the standpoint of bringing benefits to the Magic Tower, but the location isn’t necessarily important.

But after thinking so, Lennok changed his mind and nodded.

“All right. Let’s make the seminar presentation at the Mage Tower.”

Come to think of it, hadn’t he never visited the Mage Tower as Evan?

As an excuse to prepare for the thesis presentation, there was one thing I definitely wanted to take care of inside the Mage Tower.

While Cassia left the lab to reply, the dean asked as if she had just remembered.

“Wouldn’t it be better to postpone the schedule? Considering what you’ve been through, the Mage Tower won’t refuse to postpone the schedule.”

“Oh, that doesn’t seem to be a problem.”

Saying that, Lennok slowly rummaged through the bag he had been carrying.

The dean’s eyes slowly widened as he looked at the small tablet placed in his arms.

“Wait a minute… … .”

“A prototype to be used for the presentation of the third paper. We have completed procurement of all parts necessary for completion.”

Now that we have confirmed that the module works normally, we can copy and mass-produce the parts.

All that remains is to install the system Lennok has completed in advance and verify that it is functioning normally.

In the meantime, the time and place will be decided once the necessary procedures are completed according to the agreement between the Magic Tower and the university.

“I just need to make several prototypes before the seminar presentation.”

Lennok laughed.

“Now, after finishing the presentation, I think I will want to rest for a while.”

“I’m sorry that I’m burdening you… … .”

The dean sighed and gently tapped Lennok on the shoulder.

“After this presentation, you will go on a trip anywhere. We will take care of all the remaining procedures here.”

* * *

Time passes quickly and two more days pass, the last day of Lennok’s schedule.

Early Dawn. The Mage’s Tower of Solidity.

The publication date of the third paper is approaching.
