Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine, Chapter 599

Pieces and Parts (1)

After the terror incident at the Rabatenon Magic University caused by the shamans of the Mystic Shrine,

For several days, the media made headlines about the course and aftermath of the incident.

[Three days have passed since the terrorist attack targeting the students of Rabatenon University of Magic was officially ended.]

[Criticism is pouring in from all walks of life for the fact that there was a terrorist attack against an educational institution under the direct control of the city government… … ]

[There are a significant number of public officials directly or indirectly involved in this situation, so disturbance is expected in the Central Council.]

[It is presumed that some of the senators will not be able to avoid responsibility as much as they have concocted… … ]

Lennok looked at the announcers who were reporting the news incessantly, then glanced sideways.

“Coming to think of it, I think the last time we met was when news like this was pouring out.”

“… … .”

“When the quarantine measures in the closed area were lifted and related news was released to the public. The dean gave me a warning.”

A sunny university ward. Among them, the highest class private room for VIPs.

The dean, who was lying under a white blanket with bandages all over his body, slowly opened his eyes at Lennok’s words.

He smiled bitterly, unable to raise his head to look at Lennok properly.

“Perhaps, from then on, we may have already anticipated the catastrophe… … .”

“… … .”

“As a result, the city councilors involved could not escape their responsibilities as things turned out this way. From the beginning, it was a plan where everyone could only fail.”

The dean’s voice sank deeply.

Just as Lennok was about to respond to the dean’s words, other news spewed out from the screen hanging on the wall of the hospital room.

[There is also a lively debate about the responsibility of Siolus Garteanon, the head of Rabatenon.]

[Although it is said that it is currently in critical condition, it is assumed that it will never be able to avoid responsibility for putting students in danger… … .]

[In the academic world, he cautiously expressed his opinion that this incident may lead to his resignation from the dean’s position.]

Lennok, who had been listening to the news with his back turned, nodded.

“Is it true?”

“Even if it’s not my doctor, it probably will be.”

The dean nodded.

“The incident has become too big to cover up this incident with just one or two people undressing.”

“… … .”

Aside from the fact that the dean himself did not cooperate with the shamans of the mysterious palace, the fact that the university’s defenses and security were breached is fatal.

There is evidence that he fought against the shamans and was wounded, so even if he could avoid punishment, it would be impossible to keep his place as dean.

“Don’t worry about the Technical Advisory Committee. Even without me, your membership is already confirmed based on your performance.”

The dean spoke first, as if he knew what Lennok was thinking.

“Rather, the issue is the agenda for your combined master’s and doctoral dissertation and inauguration as a professor. The successor who will be inaugurated after me will have to take good care of them… … .”

“I hope you don’t have to worry about that.”

jump!!

At the same time, the door to the hospital room opened and an old man with gray hair walked in.

A sharp and sensitive impression. An elderly man of advanced age who looked considerably older than he looked.

However, the eyes of an old man in a coat holding a cane are not suitable for his age.

Recognizing the old man’s face, the dean muttered slightly surprised.

“Congressman Mayer… … .”

John Mayer, an elderly man who entered the House of Representatives at the oldest age and became a member of the Board of Audit and Inspection.

This ambitious man, who had been acquainted with Lennok through various identities, suddenly appeared in the university hospital room where the dean resided.

“The Central Council Board of Audit and Inspection took care of this situation.”

Mayer said quietly, standing next to Lennok, looking down at the dean’s face without even sitting down.

“As long as it is estimated that there are more than five lawmakers involved in this incident, regardless of the Senate and the House of Representatives, this lawmaker will carefully review and judge who is responsible for this incident and raise it to the top.”

He looked back and forth between Lennok and the dean with a stern gaze and nodded.

“As you guessed, it would be difficult for the dean, who is acquainted with Hyman Kilberg, to avoid responsibility in this matter.”

“… … .”

Looking at the silent dean, Mayer spoke again.

“But on the other hand, it means that our Board of Audit and Inspection can play some role in choosing your successor.”

“that… … !”

“I deeply sympathize with the achievements and talents of Assistant Professor Evan Bylon.”

said Mayer, giving Lennok a completely different look from the stern look he had given to the dean.

A greedy gaze that goes beyond giving favors to talented people and wants to be in the same boat.

“For the candidate who will succeed you as dean, I will try my best to recommend someone with the same thoughts as me.”

“… … thank you.”

Lennok bowed his head politely as he said that, but he wasn’t really surprised.

Because he was sure that when Mayer appeared in person, he hadn’t come with an offer that would hurt Lennok.

If things went wrong for Evan, there was no way Mayer would bother to show himself.

Even though he had come with a compromise that would actually help Lennok, he was certain that he was in a position where he could condescend to it, so he must have come and told him in person.

“Oh, and Garteanon, it was decided to retain your position on the Technical Advisory Committee after discussion, so please refer to it.”

Mayer, who had finished his message and turned around, spoke as if he had belatedly remembered.

“Originally, the position should have been canceled at the same time as stepping down from the dean’s position, but other members of the committee strongly opposed your dismissal.”

“Other members… … ?”

The dean muttered quietly as if slightly surprised.

“Surprisingly hard. They’re not compassionate enough to do that… … .”

“Isn’t it because you and Evan Bylon’s partnership is so important to you?”

Mayer tapped his cane and replied with a sullen expression.

“Professor Bylon hasn’t even joined the advisory board yet, which seems to be a sign that he doesn’t want to ruin the relationship with you. for me.”

“… … .”

Looking at the thoughtful dean, Mayer said no more and turned his back without delay.

Lennok casually followed him out of the room and briefly greeted Mayer out of the hallway.

“Thank you for your concern.”

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any sparks flying to you.”

Mayer smiled benevolently and casually patted Lennok on the shoulder.

Mayer’s gaze, as if looking at a pile of treasure, was truly blatant, but that’s why it was rather believable.

“Furthermore, you tried to evacuate the students first and stay until the last to sort things out, right? That’s enough. The media won’t touch you either.”

Mayer, who was greeted by Lennok and was about to leave the university ward with the bodyguards, stopped as if thinking of something.

“Ah, come to think of it, I had something to tell you in advance.”

“Tell me.”

“Some of the city council members of the central council will be stripped of their clothes because of this. Among them are two or three long-serving members of the Senate. It’s been a while since there’s a vacancy in the Senate seat.”

“… … .”

“Do you know what this means?”

Lennox, who only then realized the meaning of Mayer’s words, looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.

What Mayer is telling Lennox right now is not simply a message that there is a vacuum in the Senate.

It was not difficult for Lennox to guess what it meant that Mayer, who stayed in the House of Representatives, knew the vacant seat.

“I hope to see you again in a better place next time.”

Lennok lowered his head slightly and added.

“Senator Mayer.”

“As expected, smart wizards are all quick-witted and clever.”

Mayer nodded in satisfaction and smiled.

“Among the very talented wizards I know, there is a man similar to you in terms of talent.”

“… … .”

“I hope next time I can introduce that friend to you.”

Even though he didn’t listen to the end, Lennok smiled bitterly, as if he somehow knew who the wizard was.

* * *

Lennok’s Mansion Basement Lab.

One side of the lab, where all sorts of artifacts, papers, and books are usually piled up, has been cleared away, and an unknown magic method is drawn on the floor.

Dabi crouched down in the middle of the blue-glow magic squad, tilting her head from time to time.

Every time the five-pronged tail swayed gently, the brilliance of magical power shone brightly through the pure white fur.

Aaaaaaa!!

[Ugh… … .]

“Is this not enough?”

[The big feeling is… … I don’t think there is?]

“Right.”

Lennok nodded and withdrew the mana he had laid down in advance with a single gesture.

Whoop!!

Darby stepped out of the dark and faded magic circle and jumped onto Lennok’s shoulder.

Lennok tilted his head quietly, looking at the shape of the court under his feet.

“Well, I didn’t think it would turn out as well as expected, but… … There is no way you can use quite a few artifacts as ingredients.”

Spirit Growth Promotion Ritual used by the shamans of the Mystic Shrine to grow their own spirits.

Darby, who swallowed the arrangement prepared by Hyman Kilberg for the Creation Spirit, succeeded in awakening the fifth tail.

The spirit growth promotion ritual obtained after dealing with Hyman did not have much effect.

“I mean, I didn’t try to make an offering using the wizard as a catalyst for nothing… … .”

A ritual to gradually grow the power of spirits by setting up a magic court and offering the necessary catalysts to it in turn.

However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the energy created by offering the catalyst in the process was rarely fully transmitted to the spirit.

Despite strictly borrowing the power of spells and rituals, the amount of consumption lost during the transfer of power is unbelievable.

Almost as much horsepower as a truck had to be poured into it, and the horsepower equivalent to tears could barely be detected by Darby’s cognitive abilities.

[Couldn’t these wicked shamans be cheating?]

As Darby said, she raised her five-pronged tail.

[I think we need to punish those organisms one more time.]

“What are you talking about when there are not even five shamans of the mysterious shrine that survived?”

Lennok said as he pinched Darby’s cheek and crumpled it.

“The ritual itself is real. The problem seems to be on the other side of efficiency.”

As I have tried various artifacts as catalysts with Darby, the key to spirit growth promotion rituals is to directly stimulate the spirits of spirits.

Originally, the spirituality of an intelligent body is not only physically untouchable, but also difficult to interfere with unless it is a specific curse or negative consciousness.

However, this ritual is limited to the existence of a spirit, and it makes it possible to directly stimulate the spirituality of a spirit with magical power just by consuming a specific catalyst.

Most spirits can greatly increase their cognitive ability just by being stimulated with spirituality through these rituals, and can raise their existence to the next level.

In the case of Darby, the reason why he didn’t get a response even though he consumed all kinds of artifacts to stimulate his spirituality.

It was because the growth process required by other spirits in the first place was a path that Darby had already passed a long time ago.

“Your spirituality and cognitive abilities are overly developed, so even moderate stimulation doesn’t inspire you.”

[under… … .]

Dabi tilted her head back and shook her head.

[Also, it was because the master’s spirit was too good. If that’s the case, I can understand.]

“… … .”

[When you think about it, it was natural. I should have realized that my spirituality, which never neglects training even for a day, has developed as wide as the sea, rather than those who are satisfied with eating their fill and falling asleep!]

“There is no poet who speaks of a person who has never been to the sea.”

[I’ve been there with Master, right?]

“I’ve been there… … Right.”

Lennok, who inadvertently tried to refute the saying that he went to the sea together, realized when Darby was talking about and shut up.

The Dominion of Philenom, where the main base of the Blue Eye is located. Haven’t you visited the Sea of ​​Understanding where the floating island community is located?

Lennok was busy searching the drug lord’s warehouse at the time, but Darby seemed to have long remembered the scenery of the sea he had seen for a long time.

When I think about it, there were definitely moments when I was able to see the sea, like when I visited the Far East branch of the Guido Church.

It’s just that Lennok didn’t keep all those moments deeply in his memory.

Lennox smiled as he gently stroked Darby’s hair.

“… … I hope next time I can go to the sea for a purpose other than combat. yes?”

[If you go to Machine City Machina this time, it might be like that.]

Darby said so and flicked her tongue.

[From known information, it is said that one of the biggest power sources of Machina is seawater power generated in the process of refining seawater.]

“Is there an area within the city defined by the sea?”

[Rather than that, the whole city seems to function more like a giant power plant.]

Lennok had other conversations with Darby, then naturally turned his attention to the spoils he had obtained from recent events.

“Come to think of it, the machine city ticket. I haven’t tried processing it for a while since I got it.”

Lennok, who took out two artificial biochips near the workbench and put them down, put Darby in front of them and asked.

“How about it, can you do it?”

A ticket required to enter and exit each area of ​​Machine City.

One card from the cartel and one card from the agent were obtained in order to compare two different tickets and find out the rules of the pattern that are updated regularly.

It was a bit late to check the tickets sent from Agent Director Greta Witherhild, so I started the work now, but

With Darby’s ability, it wouldn’t be difficult in itself to find out the difference by comparing two different tickets.

The problem lies in recognizing such a changed part and predicting the pattern that will be updated in the future.

click!!

Darby held two tickets in her forepaws and mumbled them in her mouth, sparking the workbench with an electric current.

At the same time as current flowed into the biological chip, the exterior of the chip flashed, and Darby’s tails changed to different colors and fluttered along with it.

The shape of Dabi, who goes back and forth between the spiritual body and the physical body, going back and forth between electric shock, freezing, and brain.

“… … .”

After acquiring the automatic battle algorithm and awakening the fifth tail, there is a feeling that the change in appearance and fluidity have become much stronger.

Apart from going back and forth between the spiritual body and the materialized state, is the essence that was close to the electric fox changing little by little?

‘At that time, the appearance change. It wasn’t in the form of an attribute.’

The moment he captured Hyman and decided to dispose of him, Darby’s appearance seemed to touch the abyss of the universe, even for a moment.

Although it passed like an illusion for a while, it was undoubtedly one of the horizons of possibility that the existence of Dabi could reach.

Is it because he is a spirit born under the strong influence of Lennok’s image of observing the divergence of possibilities?

It is still unknown whether this is a side effect of the sudden increase in power in the process of awakening as Oh Miho.

Even Darby himself can’t control his appearance change yet, but if he awakens to a new tail, he might know what that appearance was.

[Master, it’s over.]

While Lennok was lost in thought, Darby spit out the biochip he was biting on and held one out to Lennok.

[I figured out the update encryption pattern variable and adjusted the biometric chip’s encryption variable to match the date.]

“good job.”

[The details are an area that cannot be guessed or adjusted right now, so I left them in the line where they can change later.]

“You mean it’s hard to confirm unless you get to the Machina and try it yourself, right?”

Thinking so, Lennok grabbed the biochip and stood up.

Darby naturally jumped onto Lennok’s shoulder as he left after turning off the light in the lab.

[I wish I could go directly to Machine City!!]

“I know what you’re expecting, but I’m not leaving right away.”

Saying that, Lennok checked the message box on his phone and slightly frowned.

“You’ve been getting a lot of calls… … . So many things happened all at once.”

It’s been a while since I met Kaise in the closed area, mediated the power game between the agents and the cartel, and solved the terror case at the Kaijin Shrine.

Apart from the frantic pace of time in the megalopolis, the world outside the city also spins rapidly.

[Lapis: We succeeded in finding and preoccupying the fourth lighthouse candidate. When the lighthouse is finished, I think I will be able to restore my new abilities.]

A blue-eyed lighthouse construction plan sent by the lighthouse keeper. Accordingly, the lighthouse keeper’s supernormal ability was activated.

At the bottom of the message, there was a reply stating the date the lighthouse construction would end and that it was scheduled to participate in a large-scale combined operation on the central front after construction was complete.

“… … A large-scale combined operation?”

There was no further explanation, probably because he was concerned about information leakage, but Lennok found the answer in a completely different place.

Another mobile phone he was carrying as Victor’s identity had received a message from the Pandemonium’s broker.

[Hairea: The warlord has been corrupted by the head. All of the enemies, including the generals, were given an order to kill. It seems that a subjugation team will be formed soon, so if you are interested, please contact me.]

“Warlords with heads… … .”

Even though it is an armed group that occupies a significant portion of the central front, Lenok has only encountered it once in person compared to its size and power.

It was also when he went to meet Hirea, who was living in a cathedral in a remote Balkan area, as Victor.

I knew it was a place where I hadn’t heard about it for being active on the central front, but was there an incident that warranted an order to kill all of the generals?

If the word “corruption” is used for all warlords, there must be a secret like that.

[Priscilla: Assistant Professor, I’m sending you a message because I haven’t been able to reach you for several days. Her sister seems to be giving her a little headache, but she’s doing fine. Sooner or later, the mercenary team asked me to tell them that the bodyguards will change instead… … .]

[Felix: Ban, is your health okay after going to the closed area? I’m a little worried about your injury. Stella’s hobby is collecting useful medicinal materials, so if you need something, tell me secretly… … .]

There were other contacts from school officials, students, agents, and mercenaries, but Lennok could not reply to any more messages and left the lab.

[Madam: Wasn’t the reply too late? If you still want to talk about the matter, come to my mansion.]

The confirmation came back from the madam that it was time to make an appointment.

Where Kaise’s body was buried and who was managing the place.

It was time to hear it directly from her mouth.
