Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine, Chapter 769,
Third Thesis (3)
The dawn has not yet broken.
The streets of District 49 were busy from early morning and were crowded as if they were about to explode.
People coming and going from all directions, as well as those curious and visiting from other districts.
Normally, it was because of the existence of the newly built mage tower and the artifact business that had started entering, but it wasn’t for that purpose that they gathered today.
A mage’s tower of solidity that is completely forbidden to outsiders.
Because everyone was aware that there would be Evan Bylon’s seminar today.
“Everyone is crazy. Can this street be so crowded?”
“Look at the sky. All I can see is the drone and the shooting helicopter sent by the broadcasting station.”
Of course, among the crowds gathered around the magic tower like a cloud, no one was tired of this chaos and moved.
The fact that they are gathered here at this time in the first place proves that they are responding sensitively to the news that is the hottest topic in the Balkans.
Of course, there are only those who are full of thoughts to get their hands on any profit through him.
“Look at this. The Balkan stock market servers are already gone.”
“They are nasty guys…. It’s not even time for the market to open yet.”
“They must be full of thoughts of going in first and shaking the stock price in advance. It’s obvious.”
“That’s stupid. Do you think the servers will reopen today? give up on that We have to look for other profits.”
Doo doo!!
Commercialized anti-gravity airships are filming people densely located on the ground, and reporters holding microphones are busy covering the scene.
A bizarre heat that is difficult to explain seems to entwine and linger all over the city.
In the excitement of the atmosphere, the fever of the other people was rising and they were frantic.
“Is this really a seminar on the third thesis?”
“It would be rather strange if the stage wasn’t set up like this.”
“They say that not only the Central Council, but also corporate executives and experts in all fields are seated there. Ambiguous themes will only tarnish Bylon’s reputation.”
“If Rabatenon and the Mage Tower are not idiots, it will never end ambiguously.”
Either way, a panoramic view of District 49, full of people looking forward to the aftermath and turmoil that today’s announcement will bring.
Lennok, disguised as Evan, was silently watching them from inside the magic tower.
While checking the prepared prototype and looking at the sunlight coming through the window, a knock rang out.
“It is open.”
jump!
Several people follow into the room, led by a woman who vigorously opens the door.
Their physiques and genders are diverse, and their appearances are so diverse that the room seems to be full just by appearing.
The woman held out her hand as she watched Lennok, who had changed into Evan’s form.
“Nice to meet you, Professor Bylon. My name is Genicia. I am in charge of administrative affairs of the Tower.”
“…This is Evan Bylon.”
Come to think of it, this is actually the first time I’ve met Jenny as Evan.
Although he divided his identities, it was evidence that Lennok had thoroughly managed the radius of action of multiple identities.
Could this meeting today be a sign that the boundaries of those social statuses are blurring?
Or, conversely, is it evidence that Lennok’s mask and alibi have become more perfect?
“It would be nice if you could call me Jenny. More than that… … .”
The look of Jenny staring into Lennok’s face without talking abruptly.
Tatiana and Felix, who were standing next to her, were so frightened by Jenny’s attitude that they stopped her.
“Jennie, why all of a sudden….”
“No, because you look much calmer than I thought.”
Jenny waved her hand and laughed.
“It’s a rare feeling among people who are close friends with Van.”
“Is that so?”
“I like people who are quiet and cheerful. I don’t want to show it, but.”
“….”
Did Jenny feel that way about the attitude she usually shows as a classmate?
Lennok replied with an embarrassing expression.
“It’s not like we’re close enough to be friends. That’s not entirely wrong.”
“Do you think so?”
“Wouldn’t it be more correct to assume that being absent from today’s presentation was part of that?”
Since the agreement ended in the first place, he has never appeared in public as a member of Ban.
After getting the elixir and trying to solve the guardian spirit’s appetite, he had barely visited Area 49 after meeting Handbook.
As it is a daily routine for me to leave my class frequently, not many people pay much attention to it now.
At events like this, the notoriety of unpredictable fastness often convinces people of erratic behavior and deviations.
But Jenny’s expression didn’t seem to agree with Lennok’s words.
“Hmm, I think I was more considerate in my own way….”
“….”
“It’s not an important issue. Then shall we go right away?”
Jenny took care of the conversation so far and immediately turned around and started walking.
“I decorated the podium for now, but I thought it would be good to hear the opinions of the person concerned. Can I ask for a brief confirmation?”
“of course.”
Lennok nodded with a smile on his face and stood up.
Of course, he knows the facilities inside the Mage Tower better than anyone gathered here, but as Evan, he has no reason to refuse.
“If there is anything that needs confirmation, please let me know.”
However, even after Jenny threw out her proposal, she looked at Lennok curiously and tilted her head.
“Looking at the reaction, I don’t think the porridge would fit so well…Rather, was this kind of collaboration possible?”
“…What are you talking about?”
Jenny muttered to herself and laughed as she brushed her curly hair.
“it’s nothing. Shall we go right away?”
Tatiana and Felix looked back at Lennok with wry smiles behind the broker who walked briskly.
said Felix, extending his hand toward Lennok.
“I’m sorry, Professor Bylon. Jenny is a very free-spirited person. There are often times when I can’t keep up with my thoughts regardless of my work ability.”
“No, thanks.”
“Call me Felix Margatra. You must have met this person at the last convention, right?”
“Nice to meet you, Professor.”
After Tatiana nodded, Felix introduced themselves without hesitation.
“These are the people who participated in the seminar to represent the position of the tower. Shall we talk about it in detail after looking at the pulpit?”
Following the guidance of the party, leave the room and head to the Main Hall of the Magic Tower where the seminar is scheduled.
All sorts of papers and models were displayed everywhere in the spacious hallway that I passed along the way.
Lennok, who inadvertently cast his gaze, opened his mouth slightly as he realized that it was all related to the thesis submitted under Evan’s name.
The first treatise on the substitution of horsepower and electric power.
The second thesis on anti-gravity technology and updraft reproduction.
All contents are briefly summarized and displayed for easy viewing, as well as models of engines actually being used.
Among them, there are models and design drawings that even Lennok has never seen before.
Lennok, who couldn’t take his eyes off the surroundings as he walked along with Jenny, muttered quietly.
“You made the preparations painstakingly.”
Jenny glanced around and said.
“I asked the university for related materials in advance. Based on that, I made a model and got a sample and hung it up.”
“…You mean you made the model yourself?”
“No, of course I paid for it and outsourced it. I’m not that good with my hands.”
“…”
Jenny said, pointing here and there without thinking.
“There are more than models. This is the next-generation anti-gravity engine being produced by Otterble. That’s a hovering drone scheduled to be released next week, and a leaked photo of the Balkan official air route, which has not yet been leaked to the deep web… … .”
“That’s really great.”
Lennok, who was listening to the explanation, involuntarily admired it.
Because Lennok knew the value of the information Jenny was talking about.
When Lennok said it was full of samples he didn’t know about, did he use Jenny’s connections to bring a bunch of prototypes and blueprints to the market and put them on display?
Not only did all of this work take place within a few days, but actual samples were displayed and decorated all over the hallway.
“Are you saying you solved all of this in just a few days after the seminar was scheduled?”
“Wouldn’t it look better only if the surroundings were empty?”
Jenny smiled and waved her hands.
“It will be easier to work in the future only if you give the customers who will come here today a clear head start. Trust me.”
“…All right.”
Even though Lennok knew him well, what was this strange reassurance he hadn’t felt before?
I knew that I was good at my work, but there are cases where I felt the value more desperately only when I saw it in such a different status and situation.
While we were talking, we passed through a wide hallway and arrived at the main hall.
A beautiful scene where concentric circles of golden light rotate and slowly spread over a quiet black cavity.
The hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, is filled with far more models and samples than we saw in the hallway.
Woooooo!!
All around, I could see the engine working with a quiet rumble.
A bizarre sight, with drones and airships floating slowly overhead, and hoverbikes and boats circling around the central platform.
It felt as if I had come to an exhibition of his achievements rather than an Evan Bylon seminar.
While Lennok inadvertently focused his attention on the bizarre atmosphere of the chaotic yet organized main hall, Jenny rubbed her shoulders and said,
“It wasn’t very difficult. The professor did a lot of work, so if you just pick out the ones you brought and hang them up, the pictures come out pretty good.”
“I don’t think I did that much, but….”
“yes?”
Lennok shut his mouth when Jenny opened her eyes wide, as if she had heard the unheard-of humility.
“…Anyway, it looks pretty good when I put it on display, doesn’t it? I feel like I want to keep it like this even after the seminar is over.”
Looking at Evan’s face, Jenny’s eyes sparkled as if she had smelled money.
“It’s also helpful for the businesses that will enter the Mage Tower in the future- Oh, I’m sorry. Did you talk too much?”
Jenny grinned and moved out of the way toward Lennok.
“If there is any part of the facility or interior that needs to be modified for rehearsal, please let me know right away. I will make it as convenient as possible for you.”
“Then don’t hesitate.”
Lennok said that and immediately headed towards the podium that filled the main hall.
Jenny’s expression, which had been looking at Lennok’s back with a happy expression, suddenly changed to grotesque.
“…professor?”
It was because Lennok, who was heading toward the podium, suddenly turned around and found the instrument panel hidden in the wall of the main hall.
Seeing Lennok open the instrument panel installed on the wall without hesitation, Jenny said shyly.
“I’m sorry, but that’s not the pulpit, it’s the tower’s heating system management facility.”
“I know.”
Lennok pointed to the hundreds of circuits and wires installed under the instrument panel.
“You’re using the built-in warming magic to circulate the air throughout the mage tower, right?”
“…Did I ever explain the tower’s heating system?”
Lennox spoke again while Jenny questioned with a surprised look at Evan’s insight into the facilities inside the tower.
“This type of heating is less efficient in the mage tower where the floors are separated. A lot of warm air is concentrated in the upper part where no one stays.”
“that….”
“I would say the room temperature is not very suitable for a seminar venue.”
I unfolded the laptop Lennok had brought and immediately connected the laptop to the junction of the instrument panel.
It was only then that Jenny, realizing what Lennok was about to do, reached out with a look of bewilderment.
This mage tower is a space that Ban himself designed, put his hands on, and even installed all the security barriers himself.
No matter how brilliant a technician Evan Bylon was, if he touched it without permission, there was a possibility that the inevitable situation would occur.
“Wait a minute, Professor. If you tamper with the facilities inside the tower, you could be in danger!”
“Oh, that’s fine.”
Tapping on his laptop, Lennok replied indifferently.
“I came here with the permission directly from Gyeon-roe himself. There won’t be any problems.”
“…yes?”
While Jenny stopped with a trembling expression, Lennok immediately summoned the spirit with a message.
‘Dabi.’
[Yep!]
Darby immediately updated the heating system in the tower in real time while tapping the laptop moderately.
At that moment, the quality of the air flowing in the main hall of the Mage Tower began to change in an instant.
Huung… … !!
The air, which was lukewarm because it could not fill the vast space, turns into a warm breeze brushing your ears.
The scent of the cool breeze that even Felix, a high-level physical ability, could only feel if he was paying attention.
“how….”
“Amazing. How can you change this much just by touching the system?”
“It precisely calculates the direction of the wind circulating inside the magic tower and disperses it by colliding it to an insensible level.”
Lennok answered, turning off the heating system that had been updated and standing up.
“If you mix the mana accumulated in the tower and induce the direction in which it is dispersed, you can arbitrarily manage the temperature of the space within a few meters above the ground.”
“Is that so?”
“…I have no idea what you mean.”
Contrary to Jenny and Felix’s slightly averting their gaze, Tatiana immediately understood Lennok’s words and asked with a surprised expression.
“Are you saying that the magic particle trajectory derivation calculation, which is difficult even for a high-ranking magician, was completed here with just one laptop?”
“There are some algorithms I made before.”
Lennok replied.
“I used it after modifying the figures appropriately.”
“That makes no sense. You can’t even guess how much proficiency in alternative magic theory programming is required to do this-”
Tatiana said that, then realized what she was talking about and smiled dejectedly.
Isn’t this assistant professor standing in front of her right now a great scholar who has been recognized for his unique talent and built a reputation?
Even if Evan Bylon willingly did something impossible even with the experience and common sense of the Aspect Wizard, how could he raise questions?
“For this seminar, I received an answer from the person in charge that it is okay to touch the facilities and environment inside the Mage Tower.”
Lennok looked away from Tatiana, who was speechless and silent.
“I’m a bit sensitive, so I’m trying to create an environment optimized for presentations before the seminar. Would that be okay?”
“….”
Why the decision was made to present the seminar at the Mage’s Tower even though the venue is not important for presenting the thesis.
It was partly because it was to bring benefits to both the mage tower and the university, but it was also
because he knew that opportunities to apply Evan’s known talents and abilities to the mage tower would not come often.
Evan Bylon’s abilities as a research and analysis or as an outstanding systems designer.
Although borrowing Darby’s power, Evan’s ability to create algorithms and manipulate programs is widely known.
Lennok had intended to use Evan’s identity to take this opportunity to repair all the poor systems in the Mage Tower.
“If you came with the permission of the class, it’s not something I can interfere with, but… … ”
Jenny’s reaction as she fidgets with her cellphone in a disconcerted manner.
Since Evan remodeled the heating system right in front of his eyes, he was convinced, but did he think the situation itself was questionable?
“Could you tell me which facility or system you plan on tinkering with more? Whether or not it can be restored later is also important.”
“I heard from Gong-roe that all the facilities inside the Mage Tower were constructed so that they could be operated remotely.”
“yes?”
Jenny inadvertently asked the question, then nodded with a timid expression.
“No, that’s true, but it’s a design for contingency, and I haven’t used it properly yet-” “
There is an image I have in mind for stable research activities. Would you like to take a look?”
As Lennok said, he tapped the laptop again.
Direct contact with facility manipulation algorithms in the tower based on records of access to the heating system.
Use Darby’s abilities to modify figures and data in real time and add variations to the facility.
Koo Goo Goo Goong!!
“Ooh move…?!”
At that moment, the entire huge main hall seemed to shake greatly, but it quickly became quiet in an instant.
While Jenny looked around with a puzzled expression, Lennok closed his laptop and stood up.
“For now, only the interior environment of the main hall has been modified. More than this, we need to seek the consent of the people involved.”
“…That professor?”
Tatiana, who was looking at Lennok who turned around with a proud expression, asked with a complicated face.
“What kind of environment did you create such a vibration- now, wait a minute.”
At that moment, Tatiana’s eyes opened wide at the moment when she inadvertently checked the stairway above Lennok’s head.
A passage connecting the floors of the tower.
Dozens of stairs were built tightly to fill the gap.
It was because the entire staircase connecting the first and second floors had turned into a flat ramp.
The stairs on the other floors are in good shape, so they don’t seem to have been touched yet.
If this side agreed, wouldn’t it be a nuance that would be enough to wipe out all the stairs in the tower?
Felix, who belatedly noticed Lennok’s true intentions, stuttered with a fish-eyed look.
“No, this…Is this really that important… … ?”
“of course.”
Lennok nodded firmly.
“It is an essential environment for stable research activities and ideal seminars.”
“….”
“I am sure the fastness will be very pleased as well.”
No one could easily answer that question.
It was because everyone was convinced that this researcher, who sold his class name without hesitation, had a grotesque aesthetic that could be compared to Kung-ro.
“I guess it wasn’t just that the class decided to sign an agreement with the professor….”
The words Felix casually murmured spoke for the feelings of the other two.
Van’s personal commission for Evan: remove all stairs XD
