Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 856

＃Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 856

: Handover (24)

Lecture building of the Department of Elements at Labatenon University of Magic.

From early morning, undergraduate students and reporters are competing to check the posters hanging in the lecture hall.

This is probably to check whether Evan Bylan, who returned to college after a few months, will officially participate in lectures starting today.

However, instead of paying attention to the atmosphere outside, Lennok was sitting in the corner of the lab leisurely watching the news.

[The Bylon Research Institute, which was established under the direct control of the Central Council, is scheduled to undergo a major reorganization.] [The

research institute is clarifying its position because it is a planned schedule and not because of the explosion that occurred a few days ago…]

[The research center prepared for public magic research Realizing the lack of infrastructure and allowing them to focus purely on research…]

[Dr. Marv Rafael, who is famous in academia for his parallel theory, was the first to join the research institute-] “It’s been

a while since I visited the school, but I have to tell you some unpleasant news first. “I’m sorry.”

widely!!

Dean Sciolus said as Cassia set down the steaming cup of coffee in front of Lennok.

The dean, sitting across from him, stroked his white beard and turned his gaze toward the screen.

A wry smile appeared on the old man’s face as he looked at the provocative news that was flowing out around the research institute.

“I never would have thought that someone would use your name without permission. By the time I checked with a lawmaker I knew, it was already too late. “It’s my fault.”

“It’s not the Dean’s fault.”

Lennok answered, raising his coffee cup.

“I also don’t share everything I agreed to with the Magic Tower with the university. “It would not have been strange to think that it would have been agreed upon.”

“As soon as I published the third paper, I cut off contact and took a dive, so who knows.”

Cassia grumbled as she stood holding a coffee cup.

“It’s good to focus on research, but since you don’t receive any contact, you’re being taken advantage of.”

“Cassia.”

“Did I say something wrong?”

Despite the dean’s stern voice, Cassia only glanced at Lennok slightly and did not stop.

“I understand that you want to open up the papers you have published so that they can be used across the industry, but you have no control at all just by receiving royalties. “This is something that can never be resolved unless the person involved takes action.”

“….”

“If it hadn’t been for the explosion that occurred a few days before the current lab incident in the first place, would it have become such a hot topic?”

Cassia pointed at the screen.

“After the explosion, the council worked strangely fast and it was resolved, but if we can’t contact Evan, there’s nothing we can do.”

“That is correct.”

Lennok smiled and nodded.

“It’s something I have to take care of and manage. “I will be careful in the future.”

“…I’m not saying this to apologize, but it’s such a shame to see a good paper fade away after so much effort.”

Cassia, realizing that she was excited, looked away as if embarrassed, and the dean shook his head.

“The good news is that the city council’s attitude has become very favorable. I think something may have happened at the time of the explosion… The special privileges you will receive will be the highest ever given to researchers in the Balkans.”

“I was told that the list of lawmakers who proposed and implemented the relevant agenda would be provided later.”

Lennok agreed with the Dean.

“We may not be able to completely trust the Central Council, but this will be enough for the time being.”

“….”

Then the dean and Cassia exchanged glances with expressions without meaning.

Cassia, who was strangely looking at Lennok’s attention and clearing her throat, asked, adjusting her voice as if she didn’t notice.

“Hmm, so what are you going to do about it?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean the lab. Bylon Institute.”

A hint of anxiety appeared on Cassia’s face.

“Are you planning to leave school and go to that research institute?”

“….”

“Well, I’m not saying I’m going to stop you. It is natural to move in a direction that is helpful to research, and the Carlyle Institute will be more motivated-” “I was

offered the position of director at the institute.”

Dean and Cassia shook their shoulders in shock at Lennok’s words.

He tries not to show it, but he looks like he can’t hide his agitation.

“They said they are willing to provide an improved research environment for the distribution and expansion of the common magic system.”

“Okay, that’s good.”

The Dean stuttered and nodded.

He spoke with a calm complexion as he brought the coffee cup to his lips.

“Although there was an unfortunate incident, the facilities and personnel are probably the best among the research institutes directly under the city council. “For your future, I am willing to leave Labatenon at any time and send you to a better place.”

“My hands are shaking so much just because you’re saying that.”

“It’s a tremor. “It will be like this when you get older.”

“Are you talking about a level 7 Aspect Wizard?”

The coffee in the dean’s hand was shaking and almost overflowing out of the cup.

Lennok looked at that and shook his head.

“Even if I accept the position as director of the research institute, I will not leave the school. “At the very least, we should discuss the terms of the contract so that it can be held concurrently.”

The dean’s complexion brightened.

“is it?”

“Dean, please…”

The dean’s voice was so excited that Cassia was startled and stopped him.

Lennok answered with a smile.

“The undergraduate students I used to teach are still in school and giving lectures is quite helpful. “It bothers me that I don’t pay attention to you often, but…”

“What does it matter as long as you stay in school? Even if I give a lecture once a year, everyone will welcome it.”

The Dean pounded the table hard.

“If you want, we can create a new department centered around you. No, considering the existence of a common magic system, it should be so. “I will tell the administrative office right now!!”

“No, not that much…”

Lennok laughed with an embarrassed look.

It is not impossible to understand the dean’s attitude of actively trying to recruit Lennok.

Just as it is difficult to be an outstanding scholar and teacher, it is rare to find someone who can communicate smoothly while consistently producing results.

Since he has been responsible for running this educational institution, Lennok’s presence must be felt as valuable as the dean.

Nevertheless, as he owed his life to Lennok during the Gosingung incident, he cannot be treated comfortably as the dean.

But that wasn’t the only reason Lennok didn’t want to leave school.

“Because there is someone who took me from nothing and created a place for me at this school.”

Lennok laughed.

“I plan to remain in the Department of Elemental Science until that person returns.”

“….”

The moment Cassia and the Dean heard those words, their expressions darkened at the same time.

“Evan. Professor Richellen is now…”

“I need to tell you this clearly.”

The dean’s eyes sank deeply as he clasped his hands together with a somber expression.

“We are constantly interacting with Sinclair Magic Tower, but the only answer we get is that Aris’s sabbatical year is increasing because it is her intention.”

“….”

“I’m not doubting Aris’ character, but she might have had different feelings… Is that okay?”

“it’s okay.”

Lennok said that and unconsciously reached out his hand into his arms.

Lennok answered, feeling the cold elixir with his fingertips.

“Because I think I know why you don’t want to come back.”

“….”

“Actually, I still think it’s meaningless, but I think there’s a high possibility that the meaning gained from doing so is also useless…”

Nevertheless, Lennok had to respect Aris’s wishes.

Regardless of what Lennok thinks, his answer may not be the only answer.

I believe that the results of Aris Richelen’s research and efforts to obtain will also have their own meaning.

If you don’t want to admit it, even the moment you understood her decision and let her go becomes a lie.

The dean looked at Lennok’s face as if he were somewhat sad, but then he forced himself to cheer up and jumped up from his seat.

“good. “I have a gift for you who are waiting patiently.”

“You mean a gift?”

“It’s something we haven’t heard about for as long as the chair professor you’re anxiously waiting for.”

“That’s an oddly unpleasant explanation.”

“Hehe, did you notice?”

The dean, with a dark smile on his face, slowly approached Lennok, hiding something behind his back.

The Dean, who walked on tiptoe like an old beast stalking its prey, swung his arm around and forcefully placed something in front of Lennok.

“Now look at this!!”

thud!!

A picture frame large enough to cover half of the dean’s body.

Award certificates with golden decorations and elegant cursive writing were stacked in a frame.

Lennok laughed after reading what was written on the certificate.

“It’s a certificate of completion of the integrated master’s and doctoral program. “Has it finally been decided?”

“Actually, it should have happened a long time ago. “The internal review was already over, but it was delayed due to the central council’s intervention and inspection.”

The dean shouted, tapping the picture frame excitedly.

“Originally, I wanted to give it to you right after you published your thesis… but since it has been certified by Congress, it is good that other cities will receive the same treatment.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard of a certificate like this being given out.”

“I made it at your special request.”

The dean, with a proud smile, tapped Lennok on the shoulder.

“You are now a graduate of a city council-approved doctoral degree and an official professor at our Labatenon College of Magic.”

“….”

A doctoral degree and a full-time professor.

Lennok then looked at the certificate that the dean had put down with new eyes.

Since the announcement of public magic, he has been called a professor, but strictly speaking, it is not an official position.

The fact that I was finally receiving it in its entirety was a special feeling.

8 levels of hierarchy. The state of a great wizard. A kaleidoscope of images and a journey of fastness stained with blood.

It may pale in comparison to the fame and power that Lennok has acquired so far, but

this is proof that Lennok has done his best to live in a different direction than fighting and killing someone.

The time spent studying magic in the laboratory is as meaningful as the time spent fighting and risking one’s life.

Thinking of that, Lennok smiled softly and picked up the certificate.

“thank you.”

“That’s what I have to say. “Thank you so much for your dedication to the school.”

The dean said, wiping away tears as if he was a little upset.

“As I get older, why does the sight of my students walking up the stairs really touch my heart…”

Lennok said with a straight face.

“I didn’t climb the stairs. “The analogy is wrong.”

“Was that something you said that needed to be corrected so firmly…?”

Cassia asked the question as if she was dumbfounded, but smiled as she looked at the dean who was happy.

“I’ll call Director Vaila. “He said he would prepare alcohol to celebrate Evan’s inauguration as a professor.”

“Oh, I also have a precious drink that I only bring out on days like this. It’s a poisonous liquor made by soaking the fangs of a basilisk, and it’s rumored that if three people drink it, four people may die-” “What are you

doing if you’re not throwing it away right away?!”

[Buu Buuu~]

Cassia, who was startled and screaming, and the furball spirit, who had woken up from her sleep at the sound, approached and pressed her body against Lennok’s leg.

[…Hmm. Hmm~]

Lennok smiled and patted Dabi at the reaction of the Thunder Spirit, who was squirming in his arms in a very uncomfortable manner.

“It’s been a few months since we’ve seen each other, so why don’t you at least say hello?”

[…I’m not ignoring it. The starting line is different in the first place.]

Dabi snorted and responded.

Even in the cramped embrace of Lennok, he proudly stretches out his chest and shouts.

[While that guy was sitting at school, sleeping comfortably, making a nose bridge, I had already made six tails and they were growing day by day]

“Okay, I got it.”

Lennok got up, tapping Dabi’s muzzle, and immediately put on his coat and grabbed the doorknob.

The Dean and Cassia, who were having a heated discussion about how much the basilisk’s poison should be diluted with alcohol to reach a lethal dose, immediately turned their heads.

“Evan? “Where are you going?”

“Weren’t we supposed to have a drink together?”

“I’m sorry, but since it’s been a while since I’ve been outside, I’m thinking of taking care of things I need to do in advance.”

Lennok, wearing a coat, smiled and slightly lowered his head.

“Since I have a doctorate, it would be convenient to organize the city council’s proposals as well.”

“…if it is a proposal from the city council.”

“yes.”

Lennok, holding the doorknob, answered as he immediately left the laboratory.

“The position of Bylon Research Institute Director. “There is no need to decline to give it to them.”

thud!

Behind the tightly closed door, the Dean and Cassia stared blankly.

“what?”

“…Wasn’t it a pretty warm atmosphere just a moment ago?”

* * *

Pabababat!!!

The light from the camera explodes loudly.

A shutter sound that stings your ears is heard overlapping like a machine gun.

Whitestone National Park located between Areas 35 and 36.

Hundreds of reporters were camped out in the middle of a quiet mountain path where there were usually very few people, and were filming only one person climbing the mountain.

“Professor Bylon!!”

“Professor, please turn this way just once!”

“Congratulations on officially obtaining your doctoral degree!!”

“If you have anything to say about this situation, we can publish it on the front page through our exclusive interview-” “

….”

The security guards who were waiting quickly blocked the reporters who were using tape recorders to capture even a single word of Lennok’s voice.

The sight of Lennoc walking among those bodyguards with an expressionless face without saying a word.

The sight of him walking up the road to the research center was so calm and static that not even a trace of life was felt.

Reporters were whispering as they watched Lennok’s reaction.

“My eyes are out of focus. “You look tired.”

“You said you were crazy about research, but I guess you’re not as crazy as you said.”

“There’s a reason why the city council was looking for that professor so much. “Isn’t this the workaholic that lawmakers like the most?”

“Was he conducting research on public magic? “If I even found out if new magic was being added to the learning device, the number of views would explode.”

More than a dozen researchers were already there to greet Lennok at the main entrance of the newly renovated ornate laboratory after a series of explosions.

The middle-aged man standing in front strode forward and grabbed Lennok’s hand.

“Professor Bar Bylan.”

Raphael said, snorting, unable to hide his excitement.

“I don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for Professor Bylon. “You are very welcome.”

“….”

Evan, who was looking at him with an expressionless face, instantly smiled softly.

“Nice to meet you. Professor Raphael.”

“Do I know myself?!”

In response to Raphael’s response, which seemed to be expecting something, Evan gently shook the hand he was holding as if shaking hands.

“I was also deeply impressed by the professor’s magic particle juxtaposition theory. “I was impressed by the attention paid to its versatility so that it could be considered in a variety of fields, even though it ran counter to existing horsepower theory.”

“Huh…!! “How do you do that?”

“My first thought was that the professor probably felt what I felt when I wrote my thesis.”

Evan laughed as he looked at Raphael, who nodded as if he was out of breath.

“I am fortunate that the professor took charge of the research institute on my behalf. “I think we have a lot to learn from each other.”

“I really wanted to say that. “How can you know my feelings so well…!!”

Hayward watches with astonishment from the side as Raphael’s favor for Evan reaches its peak after only a few words of conversation.

However, Raphael did not care at all about the reactions of those around him, grabbed Evan’s shoulder strongly and immediately began guiding him into the laboratory.

“I have already become immersed in this project by familiarizing myself with the research results of the Bylon Institute for you. “I’ll introduce you right now!!”

“It is an honour.”

“The common magic system is truly a great achievement. “I feel like I want to stay here for years and pursue my research and yours together!!”

Dozens of researchers, hundreds of reporters, and just as many onlookers flow into the lab like a tide.

At the center, Raphael is filled with joy as he talks about what he wants to say, and Evan Bylan is smiling softly the whole time while listening to what he says.

“Good.”

And Lennok was watching the scene of the laboratory while sitting on the edge of a rock dozens of meters away from the laboratory.

A quiet figure wearing a black cardigan, holding a cigar in his mouth and sitting on a cane.

However, the eyes sparkling through the hair are deeply focused, as if watching from across the distance.

“Managing alter egos using incarnated bodies is much more stable than you might think.”

Lennok muttered as he watched Evan starting to look around the lab with Raphael from afar.

“It’s not hard to get him to imitate Evan Bylan, and with a little more practice, Victor might be able to do it too.”

[Other organisms will be surprised if you imitate the masquerade.]

“It’s your favorite thing to do.”

Dabi, after thinking deeply, agreed.

[Now that I think about it, it seems like fun!]

“…In any case, it is important to distribute magical power, split the pattern, and project it at the same time. “This will require constant practice.”

Saying that, Lennok closed one eye and began to concentrate on manipulating the incarnate body.

“Right now, the urgent priority is to stabilize the incarnate body and see if smooth operation is possible no matter how far away it is.”

A research log for the stabilization of natural techniques acquired through Raphael during the lab attack.

Lennok, who knew the trick of observing and stabilizing the inside and outside of the magic at the same time, was able to immediately understand that it was a trick that could be applied quite easily to the incarnation.

In any case, most of the time when Lenno manipulates the incarnation, he is directly observing the incarnation from the outside.

What is needed is to insert a new clairvoyance technique for observation inside the incarnate body and observe the outside and inside at the same time to fix the form.

In this way, the incarnate body, whose existence has become infinitely unstable due to the transformation of Gwangra Muhae Palace into an apostle, can be manipulated and shaped into a relatively stable state.

After disguising the stable incarnation as Evan, Lennok immediately sent it out on his behalf during a visit to the laboratory.

“50 75 63 82. Stop.”

The moment he passed a certain distance, Evan’s expression, which had been moving naturally, stiffened slightly.

Lennok immediately stopped Evan’s incarnation and raised his magic power, and only then did the avatar begin to move smoothly again.

“After approximately 81m, the Hwashin’s control begins to become stiff.”

Dabi diligently wrote down the words Lennok muttered on the electronic screen in his arms.

“Every time you move away from the 7.334m interval, the magic power consumption doubles, and the shaking of the incarnate body stabilized with the help of natural magic becomes stronger. “If you project that much magic power, it’s okay, but the loss in the transmission process also gets worse.”

If it was a magic that Lennok personally chanted, it would be impossible for magic power to be consumed in this way.

However, the incarnation is not Lennok himself, but a magical life form created by forcibly awakening another ego.

Moreover, Lennok’s incarnation is not Lennok’s own ego, but a being created based on a monk from the old world.

No matter how precise and delicate Lennok’s manipulation skills are in delivering magical power to the incarnation, it is meaningless if the incarnation cannot receive it.

“102. 121. 156. Wrong. “Once it goes beyond 150m, it is virtually impossible to control.”

Lennok tilted his head in annoyance and muttered while tapping his cane.

“It seems that the magic perception ability itself of the first world magistrate was not that excellent. “The yield is much lower than I expected.”

[Shall we change seats?]

“No, if we go any further, we might be detected by the lab’s security system. “You better be careful first.”

Since this is his first time manipulating an incarnate body among such a large crowd, Lennok also needs to be careful.

In the worst case, we will have to prevent Lennok from finding out that he is manipulating Evan Bylan.

The moment when Lennok was thinking like that and paying close attention to the surrounding presence and changes in magical power.

Whoop!!

I felt a hot wind blowing in my ears.

It’s like a fever that has raised the temperature a lot, but it’s also a strange movement that seems to be trying to take shape and will.

The moment Lennok recognized it and sharply cast his gaze downward.

Kujijik!!

The pile of dirt beneath my feet shook, and a corpse popped out, throwing its head back.

“Ah ah…”

A corpse with only its upper body above the dirt pile, making strange moans as if it were harmonizing its vocal cords.

“Ahhhh- ah, can you hear me?”

The corpse, which instantly adjusted its pitch and spat out words, looked at Lennok from the bottom of the rock.

A face so rotten that it is difficult to read its expression. A corpse that died so long ago that its eyeballs were not properly attached.

Before Lennok could say anything, the corpse first expressed a brief comment.

“That’s impressive.”

“….”

A low laugh came from the corpse’s throat as it tilted its head and rested its chin on one hand.

“I can’t believe that the great wizard who rules the shadows of Balkan would put so much effort into the actions of just one human. “It’s quite different from the rumors I heard.”

“That’s something I don’t really want to hear from a guy who has to use someone else’s mouth to even introduce himself.”

Lennok’s eyes shone coldly.

“Necromancer. “Do you have any business for me?”

An advanced technique that moves a corpse and uses it as a messenger instead.

Moreover, there is only one system that can be cast from such a great distance that even Lennok has difficulty determining its location.

The entire magic system is a necromancy that operates on dead bodies. He must be a saint-level or higher magician who has completed the hierarchy and can manipulate corpses regardless of distance.

“Don’t stare at me like that. Because I’m just a messenger. Especially in this case.”

He laughed in a tone like a sticky corpse.

“There are a lot of people who are very interested in your involvement in the city council’s affairs this time. To be precise, they are people who are impressed with the way you handle things.”

“briefly.”

As Lennok turned his gaze towards the distant view of the laboratory, the corpse shrugged its shoulders.

“Okay. We are going to have a meeting with top level 8 talents. Are you interested?”

“….”

Lennok’s eyes turned back to the corpse.
