#The Medicine-Eating Genius Wizard Episode 854

Takeover (22)

“Oh, no… … .”

Louissen’s declaration to appoint Professor Raphael for the Bylon Institute’s takeover process.

Raphael, who was unable to speak properly and opened his mouth, muttered with an absurd expression.

“What do you mean by that? The city council has selected me as the head of the Bylon Lab’s takeover?”

“Not a bad suggestion.”

“No, we shouldn’t agree there!”

Lennox nodded, and Raphael protested bitterly.

“I, to be fair, am I an outsider who has nothing to do with the research center? For the handover, it is better to leave it to an insider like Dr. Hayward… … !!”

“Oh, that is impossible.”

“Why!”

“If I had to question it, all the personnel officially affiliated with the institute are like that.”

Louisen just shook her head.

“Dr. Hayward is obviously the person who entered into an employment contract with the research institute. In particular, it is a human ‘asset’ that should be formally handed over to Professor Bylon.”

“Now, assets?”

While Raphael was speechless at the expression and widened his eyes, Luisen smiled softly.

“Because it would not be suitable in many ways to directly hand over assets whose ownership is scheduled to be transferred to Professor Bylon.”

“… … .”

Raphael’s expression turned stiff as he understood the meaning of the words.

It is because I clearly realized what kind of gaze the Senate of the Central Council is looking at them now.

An explanation that is impossible unless Hayward and other researchers are treated as mere tools.

A young man named Louisen, who was in trouble with Lennok, also realized that he was no different from the members of the House of Representatives.

Raphael staggered in shock and murmured.

“Do you mean that I can entrust the takeover of the research institute because I am an outsider? What nonsense-”

“Professor Raphael is a renowned scholar who established the parallel theory of magic arrays, and is also a highly respected person in the academic world.”

Luisen ignored Raphael and explained to Lennox again.

“They were officially invited to give a lecture at the institute, and they were also the very few officials who were aware of the current situation and watched from the sidelines.”

“… … .”

Ruisen nodded as she rolled up the scroll she was holding.

“Considering the complex current situation, it has been concluded that both Professor Bylon and Van are the only candidates who are satisfied.”

“… … hmm.”

At Lennok’s silent tilt of his head, Louissen’s expression shook for a moment.

Contrary to ignoring Raphael and Hayward, he focused on Lennok.

“If you don’t like any of the council’s recommendations-”

“No, rather than that… … From the very beginning, I want it to be like a parliament.”

Lennok stared at Louisen’s smiling face, then laughed impatiently.

It was because he could immediately see through what Luisen had just said and what the Senate had done in this way.

“But it’s not that I don’t understand. It is usually a matter of nature.”

“… … .”

The city council is not trying to fix this situation simply by handing over the Bylon Institute.

Beyond transferring the entire workforce, facilities, and achievements belonging to the research center, they were trying to compensate by tying Raphael’s talents to the research center.

Raphael is an excellent theoretical research scholar to the extent that Lennok acknowledges it, and a professor with a humane personality.

However, he is also a talented person with a strong temperament as a researcher to the extent that he does not hesitate to do anything that interests him.

The Central Council must have recognized Raphael’s disposition and thought that it could be used in a helpful way.

The justification added by Luisen didn’t make sense, but the essence of it was that he would bind Raphael’s body to the laboratory and give it to him as a gift.

“I will inform Evan Bylon of the matter. As we have confirmed the transfer of ownership of the institute, the next thing is a matter for them to decide.”

Lennok replied and looked away.

“However, I think it depends on whether Professor Raphael accepts this offer.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Raphael, who suddenly came to his senses, glared at Luisen with a displeased expression.

“Trying to take care of things without my permission, isn’t this like dumping the city council’s responsibility on me!!”

“… … .”

“It’s hard to say with my mouth, but I’m a very busy person. that… … There are many people who call here and there, many promises, and even bo, bok-”

“luck?”

I know you’re excited, but are you sure you’re going to say the name of the organization directly here?

Lennok watched Raphael with a very curious look, wondering how far Raphael was going to go, and Luisen tilted his head.

Raphael, desperately holding on to his reason, hurriedly stuttered and changed his words.

“Some people hold a grudge against me and want to retaliate!!”

“… … .”

“Of course, I accepted the lecture because I wanted to meet Professor Bylon, but the city council is forcing me to play a role in this way-!!”

“Ah, that part has already been confirmed by the Senate.”

“What, what?”

Louisen calmly interrupted Raphael and opened the scroll again.

“Where was it written… … Ah, about this.”

“No, I have no intention of accepting, but what kind of confirmation did I get!”

“Have you ever been to the Greenbelt that exists inside the Balkans for joint research with the Druids?”

Raphael’s mouth was closed at Luisen’s words.

“I know you’ve been consulted by the Senate several times to acquire access rights.”

“… … .”

Watching Raphael break out in a cold sweat, Luisen nodded.

“The Senate requested cooperation from the professor regarding the matter at that time.”

“That, that… … .”

Raphael’s eyes spun around.

“It’s true that I got some help, but it’s true that I came out a little later than planned from Greenbelt and it caused problems-”

“I understand that the professor also accompanied a druid on this visit because of what happened at that time.”

Lucien said as she closed the scroll again.

“If you help us with the handover of this agenda, we will handle the matter neatly with the authority of the Senate.”

“Still, the academic conference that is currently being pushed back… … I have to go back to school… … .”

“Professor, what are you thinking about so complicatedly?”

At that moment, magician Silford put his hand on Raphael’s shoulder.

Silford, wearing a bowler hat with a smile on his face, whispered in the professor’s ear.

“If you accept this job, you will be able to meet Professor Bylon, who will be inaugurated as the head of the research institute.”

“… … !!”

“Isn’t this a condition of paying back debts? Even the professor can’t help it.”

“That, that… … .”

Raphael, with a bewitched expression, blankly listened to Silford’s persuasion.

Seeing Silford and Luisen’s reaction, Lennok shook his head from behind.

As expected, they all know why Raphael came to the research center, and even what kind of temperament Raphael is.

Entrusting Raphael, an outsider, with the takeover means that Raphael must personally know everything that happened in the lab.

And Raphael, who is a researcher by nature, is likely to have a strong interest in the public magic research conducted at the laboratory.

If that happens, Raphael will forget about the situation and sit down in the laboratory to study public magic.

The city council is looking at Raphael’s character and trying to come up with the best outcome that will benefit both sides.

Of course, the fact that such a thing is possible is because Raphael owes the Senate, but on the contrary, it proves that anyone who is involved with them cannot easily escape.

“Yeah, I can’t help it.”

True to his words, Raphael was already nodding in complete agreement with Silford’s words.

“Okay. I don’t know if I can, but I’ll do my best to help Professor Bylon. instead… … .”

Raphael’s eyes flashed with intense enthusiasm.

“Be sure to get a confirmation from Professor Bylon that he will come to the research center in person.”

“Would you like to say this, Professor?”

Silford smiled and lowered his head slightly.

“If all of this is being prepared for Professor Bylon, the matter will be conveyed very carefully to Rabatenon University.”

Accepting the situation, Raphael weakly nodded while Luisen told Raphael what to do.

Lennok turned his head slightly to look at Hayward, who had been left behind.

“I am not very surprised.”

“… … .”

Hayward silently observes the situation with an expressionless face.

Even as he watched his personal life and the process of passing the research institute, he only scratched his head and seemed to have no intention of actively stepping out.

“Did you know things would turn out this way?”

“no. No way… … .”

Hayward replied in a muffled voice rather than notice.

“I did think, however, that at this point in Professor Bylon’s absence, someone might temporarily take over as the research director.”

“… … .”

“Professor Raphael’s personality honestly doesn’t match me very well, but his ability is worth recognizing.”

Seeing Raphael walking this way, Hayward got up and stood up.

“There will be no shortage of working together.”

Hayward begins to explain something in a fast tone to Raphael, who is worried about it with a shy expression, as if he has not yet realized it.

Are you already planning to start taking over the facilities and manpower related to the institute?

As Lennok watched with his arms folded, Louissen’s voice rang out again.

“The fact that there was no smooth communication with Professor Bylon during the establishment of the institute. The fact that the progress of the project, including the research topic, was not smooth.”

“… … .”

“This decision was made considering both the means and conclusions of the mage training plan were far from perfect compared to the idea, and I approve the transfer of all rights to Professor Bylon as of 4:34 today.”

Luisen, who glanced at Lennok, spoke again.

“However, considering that Professor Bylon has a close technical agreement with the Magic Tower, the Magic Tower will also be given the right to share research results, and the owner of the research center will be transferred to the research center. By mutual agreement-”

Lennok, who had been listening, cut off his words.

“You talk at length about me and Bylon sharing it.”

“Uh, uh… … It’s not wrong to summarize the point, but… … .”

Lennox smiled coldly at the stammering Louissen.

“Why?”

“Yes, yes?”

“The mage training plan that was going on at the research institute. Wasn’t it based on the city council’s superhuman training technology? There must be a reason why they decided to cover up this incident after taking on the leak of the technology.”

“… … .”

What the Central Council reacted most sensitively to in this situation was not the existence of the research center, but the secrets and technology of the project hidden in the research center.

Since it was leaked, they were moving to find a convincing point of agreement by calling Lennok to Congress.

But did the opinion change within the city council during that brief quarrel between Lennok and Black Visor?

Leaving behind the silent Louissen, Silford stepped forward.

“Why do you do that when you know better?”

“Because reasoning and confirmation are different. Explain yourself.”

“The biggest thing is, of course, the existence of the Mage Tower. Did you know that the Balkan domestic market has been rapidly revitalized by the Magic Tower?”

Silford said with a wink.

“Currently, items imported through the Mage Tower are as hot a topic as public magic. The Central Council will not want to break the current flow no matter how you come out.”

“… … .”

“But, above all, if there is a reason that became the starting point… … .”

The magician, who paused for a moment, covered his expression with his bowler hat slightly pressed down.

He whispered, lowering his voice so that even Luisen could not hear it.

“Because I didn’t expect you to rate Evan Bylon this highly.”

“… … .”

“To be honest, even the Senate was surprised. No matter how brilliant a researcher is, it wouldn’t be strange if he looked like a bug in the eyes of the Archmage.”

said Silford, looking curiously at Lennok.

“If Kwang-roe put aside his madness and moved for one researcher, it would be enough for the central council to revise the plan.”

“Is that the end?”

“I’m saying this because we’re on our own, but the City Council’s attitude towards Professor Bylon will also be slightly different in the future.”

Silford grinned and tapped the staff in his hand.

“Half of the old monsters sitting at the top of the council are ghosts who survived the war, so even the greatest geniuses tend to look down on those without arms. It is unavoidable.”

“… … .”

“Now that you know that Professor Bylon is protected to this extent, you will have a slightly different opinion. In fact, the biggest problem is that people who should have entered the tomb are still walking around with canes, but… … .”

After saying that, Silford giggled, pointing at Lennok’s staff and his own.

“Come to think of it, we are also getting one. Aren’t you in a position to tell others?”

“… … .”

Lennok, ignoring the magician’s rambling nonsense, thought.

Unlimited concessions of the Central Council. However, this was an achievement that should have been received at the time of borrowing the name of Bylon and establishing the research institute.

Lennok, too, had no intention of stepping out from the start, unless it was to steal the entire laboratory and obtain it.

Wasn’t it because I thought it was an asset that would come into my hands sooner or later?

However, there was a part that didn’t fit to discuss that fact as a class now.

What remains is to hear a clear explanation and report on what the Central Council has done here, but-

“good.”

Lennok slowly calmed down and tilted his head.

“Sooner or later, I will visit the Senate once. I’ll listen to the lab about the work, so cull the key people and bring me a list.”

“Heh heh, that part is not my business.”

The magician deftly changed his words and grabbed Luisen’s shoulder, who was standing next to him.

“Senator Azamaha. What do you think?”

“yes? No, I don’t know anything yet… … .”

“If you don’t know, you should find out.”

“what?”

“Come find out.”

Before Louissen could answer anything, Silford grabbed the scruff of his neck and threw it away.

In an instant, Luisen’s body became smaller as if it were being sucked into a hole, and he quickly disappeared leaving only a scream.

Silford placed a hand on his hip and nodded proudly.

“Do not worry. I sent you an errand to find out, so you’ll do just fine.”

Lennok stared at Silford and said,

“If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have killed him. I don’t even care enough to use my hand.”

“yes? What do you mean-”

“I was saying that acting that doesn’t look like you annoys me more.”

“Ha ha, was it too explicit?”

Silford laughed out loud, embarrassed.

It was because the fact that the act of forcibly sending Luisen to flight, on the contrary, was to protect Luisen from Lennok was discovered in an instant.

Lennok smiled coldly at the magician.

“You treat him as if you would kill him. I’m not the kind of person who needs to cut the messenger’s head to be freed.”

“Of course not that I am.”

Silford emphasized with a smile.

“There are quite a few people who don’t think it’s weird when you come out like that.”

“… … .”

“The reason why the city council’s decision was delayed today is because the Senate was running out of time as opinions were divided. If it had not been for the intervention of the Senate, things would not have ended this way.”

“Do you want to show condescension in front of me?”

“It can’t be. If you hadn’t rejected the position of agent in the first place, I wouldn’t have taken on the job.”

Silford pulled down his fedora.

“It’s worth noting, however, that there are significant differences in perception among members of Congress who have not met you. That’s how fast the notoriety in this city should be… … .”

“know.”

Looking at Silford choosing a horse, Lennok chuckled.

“To some extent, I brought it upon myself.”

[Eh. Did Master know?]

“… … hmm. I didn’t mean it that way.”

While Lennok ignored the spirit’s question, which seemed to be genuinely curious, Silford slightly turned his back.

“If you understand that your name has a special meaning in this city, it will be easier to understand the sensitive reactions around you.”

Having said that, Silford glanced at Lennok and asked.

“I’m sure my words weren’t too hard to understand, right?”

“I think I said it earlier.”

Lennok replied with a smile.

“That grown-up attitude is more annoying.”

“Ahaha, that was a joke. Enough!!”

The figure of the magician disappeared in front of Lennok like lightning, as if he thought he had exceeded his limit.

Kururureung!!

Through the ceiling of the slowly crumbling facility, you can feel the presence of other superhumans watching over the place.

The black visor, which stood up while collecting the disheveled magic power, and the members of the special agency who kept their place even after being swept away by the demon giant.

Although it no longer shows any hostility, it still seems strange to keep Lennok in this space.

Lennok, who was staring at the crew members, shook his head as if he was dumbfounded.

“I finished talking with your master, do you still have business with me?”

[…] … The transaction between you and the Central Council should be done regardless. There will be no order for us to come down on this agenda.]

The jade visor answered in a low, subdued tone.

[If there is no notice from above, we should prioritize carrying out our existing duties.]

“It is a tiring job. Are all public officials like that?”

Lennok gazed at the silent black visor and tapped his wand, raising his mana.

“good. Come to think of it, there are still things I can ask you to do.”

coo!!

A ferocious demonic giant with thick black chains hanging from both arms crossed his arms and looked at the members of Aegis.

The moment when the giant, who had waited calmly for the work to be finished, opened his arms wide, not befitting his hideous appearance.

Charreuk!!

A black chain began to entwine around Lennok’s hand, moving like a living snake.

“Hell’s deal. It is an undefeated contract.”

Lennok grinned and murmured, clutching the chain with his free hand.

“Shall we check what undefeated power is defined in black magic?”
