Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 42



Only Krnovel

”Nice to meet you. My name is Nicole Keller from Plato’s Office. This is Maoren.”

After introducing herself in just two sentences, she shook hands with Panoa and sat down.

Panoa also naturally ordered the secretary to bring something to drink.

There was a moment of silence, and Nicole spoke first.

“Since we know everything about each other, let’s get to the point.”

“What are you talking about?”

Despite Panoa’s sly questions, Nicole continued on with what she was saying.

“Platonic Mercenary Office has decided to suspend all transactions with Cigar Bang at the end of this quarter. At the same time, we plan to withdraw from all arms distribution, which we have been doing, and to stop collaborating with scavengers.”

“……”

Despite Nicole’s unconventional words, Panoa’s expression is calm.

It’s probably because what she said wasn’t that surprising. Lennok understood.

If Plato’s office, which worked hand in hand with Siger Bang to distribute weapons, suddenly came to Dyke Corporation, wouldn’t it have been decided what to do?

What is important is what follows.

“I don’t think you came to the head office just to say that.”

“you’re right.”

Nicole meekly agreed.

“We have a list of retailers who have worked with us in distribution. If Dyke Corporation really intends to start a new business in the 40th District, it will be of no small help.”

“You want a deal.”

The decision was made in an instant.

From Panoa’s point of view, it’s not a bad business if they can do the work they’re currently doing more comfortably, and as Plato’s office, it’s fine to set their own stance clearly and at the same time hand over the list and take a small profit.

No one cared about how the personal information of hundreds of people passing through the process would be used.

After exchanging a small amount of cash and some goods, Panoa sneaked up from her seat.

“I will give the list to the employees participating in the project. It may be inconvenient, but please wait a moment.”

“……”

She left the office without waiting for Lennok’s reply.

As soon as Panoa disappeared, Maoren leaned forward and opened her mouth.

“It’s been a while, wizard. Do you remember who I am?”

“I never forget a face I’ve seen once.”

Lennok replied nonchalantly.

“Until I kill myself.”

“…I didn’t know that the wizard would be helping with this matter. It wasn’t until I heard that Beck Clinton died after being struck by lightning that the name of a recently famous lightning wizard came to mind.”

Despite the bloody answer, Maoren’s smile did not shake.

I can’t find the emotion of anger that filled my gaze when I first saw him.

Ironically, Lennok wondered if that was Maoren’s greatest strength.

Nicole, who was watching the conversation between the two, suddenly opened her mouth.

“Do you know why we bother to come and talk like this today?”

“What do you mean?”

“I will not speak back. I would like to invite the class mage to our office.”

It wasn’t until then that Lennok realized why they had bothered to come and talk to the Dyke Corporation.

“To be honest, weapons-related business is not a big concern for our office. According to the sponsor’s guidelines, I was forced to help with one hand, but now that I know there is no hope, it’s time to step out.”

“Buy a sponsor.”

“Dyke isn’t the only company interested in out-of-town interests. Wouldn’t that be natural?”

Nicole said that and calmly sipped her tea.

“……”

Plato Mercenary Office.

I’ve heard that there are rumors that there are many rumors that he has a background while growing rapidly with abnormal financial power compared to the size of the business, but I never thought he would openly expose his secret history to Lennok.

Apparently, Nicole also made up her mind and came to this place.

“I don’t wonder what caused the mage to come to this floor. I want the magician’s talent. That’s all.”

“It’s not a topic worth talking about right now.”

“If Panoa isn’t an idiot, he’s probably guessing why we’ve come this far. It’s nothing to worry about.”

“……..”

Direct and bold personality.

Are you a person who spits out whatever is inside? But rather, he is the type who can bring such a sensitive subject to the table of business casually.

Being polite to someone like this is a waste of time.

Lennok said sullenly as he crossed his legs and leaned back.

“Can I tell you my true feelings?”

“…….”

“What you just said, I have been listening to since I started working on this floor. It’s kind of boring now.”

Nicole kept silent at Lennok’s sharp reply.

Although freelancers and mercenaries don’t seem to have much of a difference on the outside, there is actually a big difference between being affiliated with an office or not.

There is bound to be a difference between the relationship between an organized life with a boss as the head of an office and a freelancer who works alone with only an intermediary called a broker, in the way they receive requests.

Of course, if you enter the mercenary office, it will be much easier for freelancers to receive group requests that are difficult to receive alone.

“I don’t know if it’s just a one-off request, but going into that office doesn’t sound attractive at all. Or can they hand me something like this for every request?”

When I showed the ring of Pryice on my hand, I felt Maoren next to me breathe lightly.

To the extent that he protected Lennok’s body several times during the battle with Beck Clinton, there is no doubt about its value.

“All right.”

Nicole, who had been lost in thought, nodded as she listened to Lennok.

“We underestimated the value of the class mage too much. I didn’t know that you were already receiving such an artifact as a reward. I thought I could recruit a skilled magician for a cheap price…”

“No, sister. There’s no need to be so honest…”

“You don’t know when you see it? It’s better to be honest with someone like this.

Maoren looked like he wanted to say something more, but kept his mouth shut at Nicole’s sharp gaze.

It seems that Maoren’s intentions were not a little involved in Plato’s office trying to recruit Lenoc.

Even when we met back then, I thought he was acting perfectly on the outside, but did he actually have a crush on Lennok’s ability?

Before Lennok could finish his thoughts, he stood up without regret, holding the handbag Nicole had brought with him.

“I’m leaving for today. It’s not like this isn’t the only opportunity.”

Anyway, the conversation with Panoa is all over. In many ways, he is an urgent person.

As if remembering the woman who was about to leave the office wearing a Maoren, who hesitated and stood up, she turned her head and added a comment.

“Oh, I must say one more thing.”

“what?”

“I don’t know what the Wizard thinks of what he’s doing, but the steps Dyke Corporation is taking now aren’t that clever.”

“……”

“I can’t say that the first choice to jump into the game right now, which is confusing due to the agreement with the Dominion, is wrong, but the front runner always takes a considerable risk.”

Nicole gave an eerie smile as she said that.

“No one knows if it will be them themselves to step into the position that Dyke has created.”

“You talk about the obvious.”

But Lennok replied indifferently, as if there was no need to worry.

“I know what you want to say, but aren’t you making things seem too obvious?”

“……..”

Nicole smiled meaningfully, opened the door, and disappeared. Lennok sipped his remaining coffee, staring at the closed office door.

I can guess what she meant by that.

He was probably trying to get a reaction by shaking him in some way or another.

But apart from being disappointed with the way the Dykes were doing, Lennok didn’t think they were that brainless or incompetent.

It is a giant corporation that has trampled other competitors and established itself in the inner district of the city in a city full of quarrels.

Although the act of reaching out to the 40th district itself was clumsy, the act of expanding the base of the business itself must be familiar to those who have continued to grow in size since its foundation.

At least until the end of this project, it was right to believe and move.

Watching Panoa come through the door, Lennok also stood up.

She probably wouldn’t have called Lennok just for a meeting with Plato’s mercenary office.

Since I received Enakpil’s artifact today, I knew at least that I had to deal with a somewhat annoying task.

testing

“This is Mr. Ban, a newly recruited external advisor from the planning team at the head office. I hope everyone will be greeted with warm applause!”

Wow!!

As soon as the unknown host’s words are finished, enthusiastic cheers resound.

“……”

The end of an auditorium filled with hundreds of people.

Standing in front of the small podium, Lennok picked up the microphone and thought blankly.

Although he had received a definite answer from Panoa for this job, it was because his mind was confused when he went up to the podium in an unprepared state.

The moderator’s speech follows.

“Ban’s external advisor proved his excellent magic skills and great work ability, and he came to have a deep relationship with the head office. I think it will be a good example for the Rabatenon University students who participated in the field trip to the head office today, and I would like to finish today’s field trip by listening to a few words of encouragement. Welcome everyone with applause!”

It’s an obvious statement, but the response is very intense.

Rabatenon University, a word familiar to Lennok. Wasn’t it the school where a certain professor he knew worked?

It would be difficult to see a wizard working in a company, so this reaction was understandable to some extent.

After hearing the applause, Lennok let out a sigh and turned on the microphone.

The magician’s talent kept Lennok calm even in such an unexpected situation.

He appropriately dramatizes the lessons he learned about his studies on Earth, and concludes his remarks quickly with appropriate words of encouragement.

“…I want you to know that talented wizards like you are needed in every corner of society. thank you.”

Hearing the applause much louder than before, he came down to the back of the auditorium.

Perhaps it was because he came down with the wireless microphone intact, the other employees waiting next to him were startled and politely accepted the microphone from Lennok.

Other employees are now guessing how Lennok is being treated at this company.

The head of the head office’s planning team is a VIP who shows himself in all sorts of things while being cherished.

Rumors that he was a key researcher participating in an important project in the company were also spread.

As he passed the microphone to the staff, Lennok turned his head to find Panoa.

Behind the thick curtain, she and a handsome middle-aged man were walking together.

Lennok looked at her blankly before opening his mouth.

“I received confirmation in advance, but I will definitely have to pay for this work.”

In place of her attempting to answer, the man who stepped forward held out his hand to Lennok.

“I am sorry about this. I was thinking about how to finish the in-house tour at the head office, and I ended up borrowing the help of a magician like this.”

The man smiled faintly and continued.

“This is Dustin Goodman. He is small, but he is in charge of the management of the company.”

“……Half.”

Does this mean that this man with a lively face is the president of a huge corporation called Dyke?

Lennok reluctantly accepted the handshake, but he had something to say nonetheless.

“I didn’t want to ruin the place, so I did it for now, but I should definitely be paid for the work I did.”

It is a handshake to break the table by revealing that you are in a bad mood on the spot.

Especially considering that he still has work to do with Dyke.

However, it was unacceptable due to Lennok’s personality to leave without saying anything even here.

“I know.”

Dustin said with a bright smile.

“Has the class wizard and we been able to work together three times in the future?”

“……”

“I’ll count the fact that you came here today as that one request. That’s why today’s field trip to Rabatenon University was an important place for me.”

When Dustin said this, Lennok couldn’t help but listen to him.

If that’s what he intended, Dustin has what it takes to be a good negotiator.

It was not possible with effort alone to make the other person have a posture to listen to the story even while reducing their own gains to some extent.

In any case, there was no reason not to take it, given that I was given a contract on the premise of the 5th request.

Lennox shrugged and replied.

“If you come that far, I have nothing to say. Can I go out of the auditorium again and answer questions from the students over there?”

“As expected, a skilled wizard has a sharp eye. Exactly.”

“……”

I feel like I’m drying up somehow.

Lennok thought so, but in the end he had no choice but to come out of the auditorium again.

President Dustin had asked if he could directly demonstrate how great the wizards employed by the company are in front of the students.

“I listened to your speech earlier.”

Against a certain professor who has led them directly.

“It was really impressive that you trained magic in such a difficult environment. I am also in the position of teaching students, but I think I have not cared about students who need to learn because I am working hard on my research.”

Familiar blonde hair and blue eyes.

A calm yet friendly tone.

A woman Lennok knew well, with a cool voice and a calm expression that matched well, was standing there waiting for him.

“……”

“Are there any problems?”

“……no. I was thinking about something else for a while.”

Aris bit her lip as if her pride was slightly hurt at the casually picked up excuse.

“Well, I understand that you are confident in your skills, as long as you are taken by a big company like Dyke. But I won’t be ashamed of myself in front of the students.”

Aris said it as if her skills were lacking, but Lennok couldn’t help but laugh at Aris’ words.

Not to mention, Lennok still didn’t have the confidence to fight her head-on and win.

Just looking at the magic that Aris often uses when teaching Lennok in the library, it was obvious.

Horsepower and controllability, response and rotational speed. There is nothing left out of a deep understanding of magic theory.

Aside from the matter of rank and position, Aris Richellen was originally completed as a single magician.

If they were really serious about taking each other’s lives and raising their mana, Lennok would have to do everything in his power.

‘I said it was a demonstration…’

Wouldn’t it be fine if I showed you a moderately splendid magic?

In the first place, I don’t know what level of wizards the students from the university gathered here are, and Lennok has no idea what level the demonstration is.

It should be adjusted appropriately only on the line that will not hurt each other.

Lennok glanced at the students who were watching the two of them and immediately raised his magic power.

[Lightning Cracker]

Beopbeopbeobung!!

When I clenched my fists and spread them wide, the tiny grains of light created inside the grip spread into the air.

After a short time lag, the glittering pellets exploded in an instant, scattering bright blue firecrackers in the air.

Compared to the strong visual effect, the power is not great, and it is a magic that Lennok can directly control the amount of magic to limit the range.

I haven’t used it in the meantime because it’s not good for practical use, but it seems to be perfect for the situation like now.

Until Aris sees Lennok’s first move and responds with much higher level magic.

[Chungsu]

Suddenly, a turquoise magic circle spread in the air, and dozens of water droplets protruding from the inside instantly swallowed up the grains that Lennok had spread.

The grains that had not exploded were eaten away by the water droplets, and the current that had already exploded and fell towards Aris was received and sent into the air.

“……..”

Lennok’s eyebrows twitched as he realized that the first spell had been completely suppressed.

Come to think of it, it was the first time she had ever shown magic face to face with a wizard as high as her.

Although she said she was teaching her at the library, she was not in a position to use magic.

However, if you have a half face, the story is different.

Lennok wanted to see a little more of the unique magic she used.

It was because there was something in Lennok’s inner self that could be felt just by looking at the movement of that sophisticated mana.

‘Let’s try a little more.’

There’s no harm in letting go of the growing curiosity here.

Rather than watch it from down there, the Dyke officials probably don’t want it to end here.

After making a decision, Lennok immediately raised his magic once more.

It is difficult to show eye-catching magic without causing much damage to the surroundings.

In the first place, the magic and tactics he used were specialized in changing the whole board and stirring the battlefield as he pleased.

But there was nothing I couldn’t do if I put my head to it.

I put my left hand filled with magic power in the air as if I was rubbing it.

container!

[Aerosol Jet]

Like ripples in a quiet pond, a huge wave was created in the air, and then a huge mass of air shot towards Aris.

The wind blew strong enough to blow the hair of others sitting in the auditorium.

Aris responded again.

[Gyeolgong (結功)]

Awesome…!!!

As soon as the flow of air rapidly expanding in the air hits the magic circle thrown by Aris, it rapidly contracts and returns to its original state.

Distorted the flow of air, and the spray mass that was shot out was stabilized in the opposite direction and eliminated.

It’s freezing magic… The attribute I chose in that situation was also an attribute, but I was more interested in the magic Aris used than that.

The unique magic that you encounter for the first time in front of your eyes. It was because I started to feel something tickling in my chest as I saw and faced the reality.

If you look a little more, if you hang out together a little more.

‘Do you think I can follow you?’

He picked up the mineral water bottle he had left on the podium to quench his thirst and sprayed it on the floor, then lowered his mana.

[Frost Control]

Whoaaaaaa!!

As the water sprinkled on the floor froze in the blink of an eye, thick ice horns protruded from the floor and aimed at Aris.

[Fireball]

Aris also dropped three fireballs with a calm expression, melting the ice block created by Lennok in an instant.

On the surface, the battle using the blind spot of the attribute is coming and going, but both Lennok and Aris know about it.

It’s not ice that’s made easily enough to melt with normal heat, and it’s not firepower that melts only ice and disappears.

As if the eyes of the two had promised, they again turned to the flowing water that melted the floor, and almost at the same time, the mana from the two branches descended once more.

Kaga Gak!!

Two icy paths rising from a puddle are intertwined with each other, fiercely aiming for the head.

‘Did you say it was a failure? Obviously like this…’

The movement of magic that he had encountered for a very short time was naturally drawn in Lennok’s mind, and at the same time, the magic began to move along.

At first, Lennok’s coldness, which was helplessly pushed back, gradually catches up with Aris’s momentum, and then, conversely, grows big enough to eat the other person.

“…….!!”

Aris’s magic power, which raised her eyebrows at that ferocious force, turned even colder in an instant.

The cold air that gets entangled in a double spiral freezes all the moisture in the air, sucks it in from the tip of the roots, and greedily lusts for each other.

So, so, so, so, so…!!!

cooong!

The coldness of both sides, which had been spinning and biting in all directions, finally reached the ceiling and created a huge column of ice, and then the two of them withdrew their mana as if they had promised.

“……..”

Seeing the cold frosty tree blooming in front of the auditorium, Lennok put down the bottle of mineral water he was holding.

The other people who were staring blankly at the unrealistic sight came to their senses belatedly and began to clap madly.

Wow!!

invite

‘This is how it feels… I think I know roughly.’

Lennok thought as he slowly clenched and closed his fists.

It’s like he doesn’t want to let go of the feeling he once held in his hands.

Although he had fought several other wizards up to this point, the magic they used was, frankly, unrecognizable to Lennok.

Or that Lennok was at a level where he could imitate similarly with common magic.

However, the magic Aris uses is different.

Inherent magic of high degree that encompasses not only one attribute, but the series of elements itself.

There are things you can understand just by observing the flow of magical power.

It was close to the realm of naked practice that could never be realized by simply studying and learning theories.

‘I divide the flow of magical power into four branches and use them by weaving several branches whenever necessary. Is it a way to control multiple attributes at once by inducing a change in nature?’

Although it was not an efficient method for Lennok to follow, since he used various systems from the start, the concept of taking mana management differently from the start and weaving it only when using magic was worth studying.

‘As long as it’s a conclusion, I think I can try it right now…’

Aris wouldn’t let Lennok go if he did that here.

While Lennok was lost in thought, Aris walked towards him, straightening his disheveled shirt.

“Hmmmm.”

Are you thinking that you are excited without even realizing it?

Aris cleared her throat with a puzzled expression and held out her hand.

“Thank you for cooperating with the demonstration for our students.”

“……It’s nothing special.”

“Surely, it is a skill that can be brought directly from Dyke. Especially at the end, I was a little surprised by the ability to control mana. That kind of control is a precision that can never come out without being taught by someone…”

Someone’s sasara, I’ve been getting something similar from the library lately.

“If you don’t mind, may I know which school you belong to?”

“Probably even if I tell you, you won’t know.”

Lennok replied skillfully, without spitting on his lips.

“I wasn’t famous, and I didn’t have much interaction with the outside world, so I didn’t make my name known.”

“okay.”

Perhaps noticing Lennok’s intention of not answering, Aris said that and didn’t say anything further.

Lennok was lost in thought as he looked down at Aris’ graceful figure.

It was only for a moment, but it was more like an unconscious analysis of the opponent who was competing for magical power.

Precise magic control ability and calmness that does not flinch even in the face of wild magic right in front of you.

Yungtungseong, who pays attention to the terrain and copes with it at the same level as Lennok.

And even the unique magic of the element series that is stable and used in various ways.

‘It’s flawless.’

That was the conclusion that Lennok came to after a moment’s thought.

Aris Richellen was definitely the strongest wizard out of all the wizards Lennok had ever seen, excluding the Ascendant.

It must have been the same for her as well, considering the surroundings and controlling the aftermath.

If you could express her skills as a level, what would it be? It seemed that Lenok would be able to guess her skill to some extent only after he had personally competed with her mana.

‘No matter how low it is, it must be level 5 or higher. Being a university professor isn’t easy either.’

While Lennok was lost in thought, it seemed that Aris had something to say as well.

she asked with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“May I know what kind of cigarettes you smoke?”

It was an odd question.

“Why is that…?”

“No, that…”

As if unable to answer, she blurted out her words.

“I think it’s similar to someone I know. It must be an illusion.”

“……”

Lennok was at a loss for words.

It was because, apart from the absurdity of the answer, she seemed to know who she was talking about.

In the meantime, Marja, who had climbed onto the auditorium, quickly approached Lennok and whispered.

“Ban. I think you can do it here and come down. The rest of the schedule will be finished on our side. The boss is waiting for you.”

Lennok nodded as if he had waited.

“okay. go down.”

While vaguely evading the answer, he greeted Aris with his eyes.

As if she had no choice but to give up, she nodded and turned her back.

A short but intense encounter. However, what she asked at the end was a completely different question from Lennok’s expectations.

Could it be that the appointment at the library occupies a significant portion of her heart more than she thought?

It was unknown now.

Lennok cleared his mind and turned his head to the two men waiting for him down there.

I was barely keeping an eye on it. The fact that Dustin wouldn’t have let Lennok do this just because he lacked a good wizard.

In particular, considering the confrontation with a skilled mage like Aris Richellen, it would be correct to see that Dustin had a different purpose than simply for his own satisfaction.

For example, the company officials who are watching this place from somewhere right now… The skills that Lennok just showed will have a very big impact on them.

Expectations were not wrong.

Dustin, who had brought him to the vast office that occupied an entire floor and sat him down, bowed his head slightly as soon as he sat down.

“I’m sorry about that. It was difficult to ask for understanding easily because the seat was reserved.”

“Are they the board members?”

Dustin shrugged in surprise at Lennok’s answer.

“……Panoa is not wrong about being an outstanding person. Yes, the board of directors got together for the first time in a long time with a field trip to Rabatenon University. I needed to actually show them the cards I had.”

Dustin shook his head at Dustin’s comment, “I apologize for not telling you ahead of time because it was a rushed schedule.”

“It’s enough if you keep the promise that this will reduce the number of requests.”

“I can’t vouch for that part. I will pay the success fee as much as you have done so far and deposit it into your account.”

Dustin glanced over at Panoa and she immediately nodded.

“So, was this helpful? Dealing with the professor who has been leading the students at that university was a bit difficult, but I hope it will be worth it.”

When Lennok showed a little condescension, Dustin nodded in anticipation.

“of course. Do you not know who Aris Richellen is?”

“…Except for being a skilled wizard.”

“As a representative of the Sinclair Mage Tower, he is one of the geniuses who rose to the position of a 6th-level military guard mage at a young age. He is so obstinate that he is concentrating on nurturing younger students, but originally, it wouldn’t be strange if he was called to the Magic Tower a long time ago and occupied a seat.”

He thought he was an excellent mage, but he must have reached level 6.

“It may not be very famous to those who don’t know magic, but it’s a famous figure that everyone knows, including his appearance. In any case, it is very meaningful to show a demonstration that seems to be equal against such a mage at first glance.”

Dustin smiled proudly.

“Not only does it have a significant impact on the shareholders, but if done well, it can even induce infighting in the board of directors. You did a good job, so what’s left is ours.”

“Rather than that, I want you to focus on future projects. All of this would be useless if it didn’t come to an end in the 40th District.”

The face of Panoa, who was standing next to him, stiffened for a moment at the headshot, but Dustin laughed and let it go.

“A sharp point. But it’s not wrong. I’ll be honest, I’ll admit I started out with a bit of an understatement of the outer quarters at first.”

“……”

“However, that was definitely my fault for not preparing the right manpower for the plan, not Panoa’s fault. I’d like you to know that much. I don’t want my personnel mistakes to undermine your trust with her in this matter.”

When Dustin said that and winked at Panoa, she quietly lowered her head.

“She really takes care of all the work required for this project. Removing part of the arms business already in place in the 40th District and entering it means we have to appease some of the political figures who were paying for it. At the same time, I was concerned about the collaboration with other companies that I am maintaining now, so I lost sight of what was really important.”

‘That’s a long story.’

Where in the world is there a person without mercy?

To put it bluntly, Lennok had no interest in how hard Dustin and Panoa were going through.

Or was Dustin thinking that an unsophisticated wizard would sympathize with their plight?

It wasn’t Dustin who was chattering, but Panoa, who was watching his expression, was the first to notice that Lennok’s gaze was getting colder.

She unconsciously pretended to look at the watch she was holding on to, then immediately whispered to Dustin.

“President, it seems that the time for the meeting with the board of directors has arrived. Waking up here…”

“…..Ah, has it already been that time? I was talking too much.”

With that said, Dustin cut off and jumped up from his seat.

He picked up the clothes he had draped over the arm of his chair and gave Lennok a very casual look.

“Anyway, I’ll definitely make amends for what happened today. Thank you for your time. But everything I said was true. I just want you to know that.”

Lennok stared at Dustin’s back as he left the office and left Panoa alone.

“……”

Seeing Lennok like that, Panoa said as if making excuses.

“The boss didn’t say that to make an excuse about the first operation. However, if you know that this happens because the gaze of the person who focuses on in-house work and the gaze of the practitioner are different…”

“It’s tearful.”

“…….yes?”

“Just go back.”

Interesting.

Rather than the lame excuses Dustin and Panoa make, it was the trusting relationship between the two that was strangely close.

Apparently, Dustin didn’t even notice where Lennok was getting irritated until the moment he stood up.

However, as soon as he heard Panoa’s words, he realized that the conversation was misplaced and immediately left.

Although he is the president of a group, he can fully accept the opinion of the planning team leader in an instant, rather than because Dustin lacks in ability, it is probably because he believes in Panoa more than anything else.

And it probably has something to do with that wristwatch she fiddles with whenever she’s under pressure.

Even as Lennok stood up, he did not forget that fact and remembered it well.

If one day you have to part ways with Dyke, there’s a good chance that the personal relationship of trust between these two will come in handy.

Panoa put on a suspicious expression when he saw Lennok, who was strangely backing away, but quietly lowered his head, probably thinking that good was good.

“…..Within three days, we will finish our schedule and go into the third operation. When the cigar bang is not coming to his senses, he should definitely cut off his limbs.”

“Since Plato has turned, there is only one place left.”

“yes.”

Panoa nodded.
