Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 51



Only Krnovel

Rumors about the Lightning Wizard in Area 49 spread quickly.

It must have been because of the loud screams of the collapse of a large-scale gang called the Cigar Bang.

It is only natural that the way people around him look at Lennok will change.

Up until this point, if only people who knew promising freelancers knew about it, is it an illusion that more people seem to recognize Ban’s face now?

Considering the stinging gaze stabbing the back of the head, it didn’t seem like that was the case.

“That guy.”

“It doesn’t look very special…”

“I get compliments from brokers who have worked with me. It will not be a frothy lie.”

“I heard that he was scouted several times at the mercenary office…. He might be more picky than I thought.”

“……”

The residents of District 49, who had seemed completely uninterested in him, turned their heads from time to time to check Lennok’s face.

As if he wanted to remember that appearance.

Some are blatantly up close, while others cast a faint gaze as if from afar.

Even in the midst of this, there were some people who had a conversation with more information than the hosagers were talking about.

“…..Not an ordinary lightning wizard.”

“I heard that you have used other types of attributes as well.”

“There is a possibility that he belongs to the mysterious magic tower with a very long history.”

“Can I scrape the information?”

Rather than being surprised and frightened by the appearance of a talented newcomer, those who calmly judge profit and loss and calculate what they can do as partners.

In the future, if Lennok has a job to work with other freelancers, he will probably hold hands with such people from time to time.

With that thought in mind, Lennok naturally headed for Jenny’s bar.

“Come. I’ll give you a glass of whiskey, so wait a minute.”

Jenny, who can’t even raise her head properly with her head on her laptop, and Jordan, who silently shakes a shaker next to her, are now familiar.

Lennok sat down across the bar and asked Jenny.

“You look very busy.”

“Who do you think it is?”

Hearing her blunt tone of voice, it was immediately clear what was going on.

Lennok smiled bitterly.

“Even if you hadn’t rejected all the requests from Ban in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened. My laptop is about to explode because of the inquiries coming into the deep web right now.”

“……..”

She didn’t bother to say anything, but when the water came in like this, she seemed to be dissatisfied with Lennok’s rejection of the request.

It’s not that Lennox doesn’t understand Jenny’s feelings either.

If the harvest from this operation hadn’t been so great, Lennok would have pretended to look at the request without worrying too much.

However, the realization and research journal he gained from the battle with Eden this time was an unexpected surprise for Lennok, and Lennok had no intention of letting this luck pass away.

Now that he has confirmed that he can steal the essences contained within them without acquiring a unique magic, what Lennok needs to do is to check his skills once again, not to be swayed by money right now.

When everything Lennok thinks is done, then there won’t even be a need to row the incoming water.

It didn’t seem like it would take long for it to create water currents on its own.

“What materials did you mention?”

“Here it is.”

Instead of Jenny, Jordan picked up a thick pile iron and held it out to Lennok.

“…..Thank you.”

“I don’t know why you suddenly started to pay attention to warlocks, but you better be careful.”

Jordan answered quietly.

“They have been integrated into society through a very long compromise, but they are fundamentally the ones who play with the source of life as a driving force for development.”

“……”

“I felt very naked after working together a few times. It’s fine if you don’t understand that way of thinking at all, but if you don’t, you’ll get tainted surprisingly easily.”

“Don’t worry too much.”

said Lennok with a wry smile.

“I have no intention of quitting this job any time soon.”

“okay. I won’t talk too long.”

Jordan really just said that and kept his mouth shut.

You probably know that the longer you talk, the more pointless chatter you get.

I felt it again, but he was a man who deserved to run a business with the impatient Jenny.

‘I can’t go anywhere else with a body like this anyway.’

In the meantime, I didn’t really realize it because I was dealing with warriors who used hand-to-hand combat, not magicians, but I was convinced once again in the battle with Eden.

Lennox’s talent is dangerous.

Like a bomb that doesn’t know when to explode, when overflowing intuition and inspiration meet strong stimulation, it escapes Lennok’s will and spreads out in all directions like mad.

How much was the magic of Eden that Lennok faced at that time?

What wizard in this world could see the opponent’s unique magic and assemble the same magic on the spot?

If other magicians knew of his talent, would they genuinely bless his abilities and wisdom?

Or will he try to find out the secret at all costs?

It was still difficult to say that I knew much about this world, but the answer to that question was obvious.

Unless you really trust someone, it’s best to hide it until you can.

At least until Lennok has a power to match his talents.

In order to overcome that fear, wasn’t it an effort to become stronger while taking step-by-step steps like this?

While I was thinking about that, I was putting the data Jordan gave me into the bag I brought, when suddenly the outside became noisy.

As always, no one would have cared if it was someone’s death or gunfire.

However, the faint sound of military boots coming from the entrance of the bar was enough to stimulate people’s nerves.

In addition, even the useless memories of Lennok, who had never been in the army here.

“……..”

“What are you talking about?”

It’s not like they’re trying to enter the bar, it looks like a group of people are passing through here in groups, but even that is obviously rare.

There was no one who didn’t know that it was dangerous to run around indiscriminately on these streets.

If they’re acting this way despite knowing that, it’s definitely only those with the arrogance or qualifications to do so.

Before answering Zordon’s question, Lennok swelled up and quickly stretched out of the bar.

His magical power control ability, which has grown greatly due to the battle with Eden, far exceeds the existing sensing range, taking control of a space of several kilometers, and conveys the information transmitted in it to his five senses.

Clear visual information flowed into the back of my head as if I was facing them right in front of my eyes, and I saw dozens of people passing by in front of the bar.

A body armor tightly wrapped around the body. A helmet that doesn’t show your face properly and a rifle strapped to your back.

However, his gait is quite unstable compared to his armament, and his breathing is irregular.

Lennok nodded after confirming the coat of arms of the Balkan City Government engraved on their chests.

“They are city officials.”

“public official?”

What are the officials going to do here?

Fortunately, there was a part that I guessed. Didn’t Evelyn, whom he met at the market, give him information as a gift?

“I’ve heard rumors that the city government is conducting inspections on the outer districts. Maybe it’s part of that.”

“It’s a checkup…”

Uncommonly, Jordan’s face is serious.

“They say it targets magicians who do business without permission. It probably has nothing to do with this bar.”

Of course, Jordan didn’t bother to ask where the information came from despite Lennok’s overly detailed explanation, but his blurred expression didn’t ease.

A heavy voice came out of his mouth after thinking for a long time.

“It seems that the city government has decided this time. This will give me a lot to think about.”

“…is it serious?”

Lennok, who was not familiar with the extent of the checks, let it go, but the fact that civil servants were touring the outer districts in groups was unfamiliar to Jordan.

“I’ve never had anything like this happen in the decades I’ve been working here. It must be the result of the strong will of the city council. I don’t know what you’re aiming for, but I’m sure you have something you want in this area.”

True to their word, the officials showed signs of shrinking from the sharp gaze of the residents here, but instead of backing down, they moved their steps even faster.

If I were to roughly guess the direction those steps were heading, I’d bet they were in the 44th area.

“……..”

It’s already been a year since I started working in District 49 without knowing it.

The environment around him was slowly but surely changing.

I thought it was a life where I was finally finding stability, but things don’t always go my way.

As always, we have no choice but to adapt.

Lennok’s candid feeling was that if he couldn’t stop the change, he would at least want to go up to the point where he could lead the change himself.

Lennok, who had eyes for Jordan, who had a complicated expression, and Jenny, who had stopped working and looked outside, slowly looked away.

Come to think of it, did the blood mage boy I met in Area 44 evacuate well?

If he hadn’t overlooked Lennok’s words, he might have been able to close his business and escape at the right time.

After that, he won’t have to worry about it.

As Lennok thought, he tried to clear the boy’s existence out of his mind.

Until he confirmed the boy he had been thinking of before in the sensory sphere of magical power that had been spread out.

The same rugged expression as when we first met, the thick bag he carried on his back.

Realizing that the boy’s footsteps, which had penetrated the crowd, were headed precisely for this bar, Lennok let out a blank laugh.

“……..”

“Why but?”

“no. it’s nothing.”

As Lennox said that, he turned his gaze to Jenny.

“jenny.”

“why?”

“I’d better get ready to receive guests.”

“…..what?”

I hear someone walking down the stairs.

Lennok grinned.

“okay. Maybe… a glass of milk would be enough. Let’s put it in front of me for now.”

higher

late night.

Lennok’s new apartment complex in the 30th District.

I didn’t think that someone’s head would rise while looking through a book by relying on the dim light of the nightstand.

The lab was refurbished while moving.

A strange vibrating sound echoed as magic rotated inside.

After tidying up the surroundings, Lennok began digging into the unique magic of the Thorburn School in earnest.

At that time, the inspiration that had been raised to the maximum by the battle with Eden had to be established as a specific theory and made sure to be one’s own.

In the case of [Brain] or the ‘waterdrop’ magic stolen from the black magician, even Lennok could only use it at the risk of rapid magic consumption, but Eden’s other unique magics were different.

A door once opened never closes, and the knowledge and inspiration that has passed through my head remains the same.

With Lennox’s talent, it would be enough to absorb all of Eden’s abilities.

All it took was the right amount of time.

‘I guess I didn’t sleep well today.’

Staying up all night is not difficult for Lennok, who suffers from insomnia.

You’ll be able to see the sun tomorrow morning just by not looking for a bottle of sleeping pills.

It was much more important not to miss the thoughts that came to mind while devouring Eden’s research journal than sleeping.

Perhaps it was because Eden started writing a journal some time after he started learning magic, most of the basic information was omitted, but it was rather comfortable for Lennok.

‘Certainly… there is a part where the strands are caught.’

Concerns piled up while studying mana and magic alone.

In Eden’s research journal, there was some answer to that question.

[Once again, I received a B rank in the midterm class evaluation of the Mage Tower… It is because of not being able to control the last reverse flow among the five ways to control the flow of lightning. It is not easy to hold on to the flow until the end, even though you know that the remaining magic power bounces in the opposite direction after using magic. If you don’t get an A rank in the next evaluation, your dormitory subsidy may be cut off.]

“……”

Of course, I didn’t like the fact that I had to look into the details of the already dead guy in the middle of the process, but Lennok learns a lot with just the information contained in it.

No, it’s not about learning new concepts.

Through this research journal, he is receiving confirmation of the concepts in the actual stage that he was only guessing while studying magic and was not sure about.

It was a different way of growing than supplementing knowledge in the theory part through a conversation with Aris.

The roots of the great tree that Lennok had sprung from within deepened, and its branches stretched out in all directions.

Being able to understand and use the principle of the unique magic [Brain Man] through the battle with Eden was a great help in understanding the journal.

‘The lightning pursued by the Thorburn school is closer to a heavy and intense image.’

It accumulates the maximum amount of mana and images that can be contained in a single spell, and discharges them at once as if sweeping them away.

All the magic tricks needed in the process are to increase power and speed.

It focuses on the essence of destructive magic called power rather than mystery or functionality.

And it suited Lennok, who was contemplating the limits of the destructive power of common magic, so perfectly.

He had overcome all hardships with his overwhelming sense of battle, but in the end, the most powerful magic that Lennok could use was limited to [Thunder Calling].

Conversely, it meant that if [Thunder Calling] could not be hit, Lennok’s full power would not be fully displayed.

Instead of having strong power, the point of impact is clear and there are signs during casting, so I have been using it in parallel with [Gravity Bind] as if I were eating a meal.

However, the story is different if you can add Thorburn School’s unique magic to his common magic.

Even [Brainman], which was used against Eden, had an extremely short casting time and overwhelming strength of extending from the hand, but it was not inferior to the power of [Thunder Calling].

If only we could keep these things in mind and apply them to the development of magic…

‘It wouldn’t be difficult to create a completely new magic.’

I quickly read through the journal without obsessing over the parts that I can’t understand right away.

The important thing in learning is repetition, not perfect understanding. Research materials are not going anywhere, so I thought to take my time calmly and leisurely.

‘It’s the last chapter.’

According to the journal, Eden was a fairly good student at the Mage Tower, but it seems that he was eventually released due to the lack of background and the limit of his potential.

It was possible to guess his psychological state just by looking at his handwriting, which had been stable until then, being disturbed by the central heating after leaving the mage tower.

Even after Eden was released from the Mage Tower, it seems that he did not stop studying magic, but he was soon blocked by his limits.

The last page of the journal clearly revealed his feelings of despair and confusion.

[White thunder (魄雷), which was considered a symbol of a 6th-level military wizard in the Mage Tower… Through steady research, I have reached the end of the 5th level, but I cannot find a way to go beyond that.]

[I’ve heard about the change in the nature of lightning even in the Mage’s Tower, but I don’t understand it. How on earth is it possible to change the will that has already been put into magical power? Master is resentful…]

[The only method I found was to forcefully increase the firepower of lightning by pouring magic power to the limit. In this way, as the temperature exceeds the nature of the electric shock, it is possible to change even half of the nature.]

[I should start by increasing the amount of horsepower. I felt like I needed more money.]

[More than now, a lot.]

“……”

It was only after reading the journal to the end that I could understand the reason for Eden’s behavior.

The reason why he jumped into the arms business even after taking risks.

The reason why he had so many amplifiers installed at the power plant and dealt with Lennok’s group.

And at the end, why did he fight so desperately at the [brain man] that Lennok showed us?

It wasn’t a pleasant feeling.

After exploring the life of someone who had already died, all that remained was an unknown gloom.

Suppress the useless thoughts that come to mind and slowly build up your mana.

Dismissed..!!

A blue current formed between the index fingers.

Lennok was troubled.

It’s been quite a while since I was able to deal with attributes like this without having to call out all of the lightning-type common magic.

Compared to other types of magic, the reason why the lightning type was particularly easy was probably because Lennok used this type of magic that much.

Powerful, fast and intuitive.

It was a spell worth the effort, and one that had never let Lennok down.

Going one step further here.

Having made that decision, Lennok raised his mana drastically.

Pajijijijijik!!!!

As the magical energy flowed, the amount of lightning that formed on both hands increased rapidly and began to look like a blue ray.

Although the small stand placed in the room is filled with a colorless amount of brilliant light, not a single current escapes between Lennok’s fingers.

Complete control over the magic he created was now all too natural for Lennok.

Lennok, who was looking down at the complex of magical powers with a nonchalant expression, slightly twisted his fingers.

What is the image contained in magical power?

Until now, Lennok had only thought of his strong will to use magic, and with that alone, he ran like crazy without any hindrance.

But in order to change the magic that has already been activated, is it necessary to change the will contained in it?

‘I can’t agree with that.’

Eden thought so and seemed frustrated, but Lennok didn’t think that the image he created was so worthless.

He differs from other wizards from the starting line.

He knew very well how ridiculous his talent was and how he was reaching the limits of existence.

It is an immortal quality that he acquired even while suffering countless penalties on his body.

There was no way that the images he created, the thoughts he assembled, could just be replaced for more powerful magic.

Lennok couldn’t even be sure of the future ahead of the day, but he knew that when it came to magic, he could contemplate himself more objectively than anyone else.

What is needed is not loftier images or high-level thoughts.

Just a small chance to realize ignorance was enough.

Awesome!!

That moment.

The blue waves of lightning that flowed between Lennok’s hands cracked as if peeling away, revealing pure white flesh inside them.

As if a drop of ink had fallen into a glass of water, a white electric current growing from within quickly consumed the blue magic light and covered Lennok’s hands with dazzling brilliance.

The threshold that Eden spent all his remaining time worrying about and getting frustrated with.

Lennok casually steps on the stairs leading to a higher level.

It was only then that a faint smile began to appear on Lennox’s lips.

up, more up.

There was still a long way to go.
