that
Mila was late and things almost went wrong, but Lennok didn’t want to waste time pointing it out
.
As Antares knows that Ban and Evan are the same person, he knows that there will be no problems with Evan’s safety.
Nevertheless, attaching a mercenary as an escort is because the ‘fact’ that someone is protecting Evan’s body is necessary.
Rather, it is highly likely that the security arrangements were loosened to consider Lennok’s schedule and movements.
In order to protect Evan during the time he goes to college, one of the members must wait inside the school and match Lennok’s schedule.
There was a sense that this situation was too sudden to ask for responsibility for the security vacuum that occurred in the process.
It’s not something to be overlooked in moderation, but I know that there is a reason for taking responsibility and asking for mistakes.
In times like these, Lennok knew there was a good solution: money.
‘It would be enough to claim damages from the Antares mercenaries later.’
Of course, there seemed to be some possibility that the cost of the damages would be taken out of Mila’s wallet, but that far was none of Lennok’s business.
Mila’s eyes narrowed as she watched the two shamans fainting after him, unaware of Lennok’s thoughts at all.
“One is wearing a leopard mask I caught, and who is this? It has some creepy monkey mask.”
“It’s a shamanic group called Kaisingung.”
Lennox stopped thinking and answered Mila’s question calmly.
“He is the one who currently occupies Rabatenon University and causes terror.”
“I know these bastards tried to hold the kids here and hold them hostage. What is your exact purpose?”
“I think we should find out why from now on.”
Priscilla, who was listening to the conversation between the two, asked as if she was dumbfounded.
“No, you don’t even know who the opponent is, so did you catch it and beat it up?”
“According to my personal experience, all the guys who wear strange masks are dubious idiots.”
Mila said confidently.
“Because it’s BoA, it seems like things worked out to some extent thanks to me!”
“….”
Priscilla, who looked at Mila with an absurd gaze, sighed deeply.
“okay. Anyway, I just wanted to safely rescue assistant professor Cassia. good job.”
“That’s right. After all, you understand what is important!”
Mila quietly approached Lennok with a quick glance.
“I thought I could make up for it roughly by capturing this leopard cub, but it seems I wasn’t…” … ?”
“Several things happen all at once.”
said Lennok, smiling without raising an eyebrow.
“Still, I’m glad things worked out.”
Without knowing how scattered the shamans of the Goddess Palace were in the Elementary School’s lecture hall, it was necessary to figure out the number and neutralize it as quickly as possible.
Although he was concerned about the leopard’s attitude and the gaze of the outside surveillance students, he did most of his work alone.
In the end, things worked out well with Mila’s help, so should I say it’s a relief?
“Now that things have turned out like this, where the hell is the dean…!!”
“Since there is no communication with the outside world yet, it is certain that there is someone behind these shamans.”
Lennok responded calmly to Cassia’s words.
“The dean may be tied to the people behind it and it is difficult to move officially. so….”
[Boooooo!!]
said Lennok, who lifted up a hairy spirit resembling a goat that cries nonstop at his feet.
“I was going to send your spirit instead to inform you of the abnormality.”
“Oh, is this cotton candy-like thing a spirit?”
Mila accepted the dean’s spirit in Lennok’s arms and rubbed it wildly.
“Awesome. Doesn’t it actually kill the tactile sensation too? hey…I mean, all elemental magicians take one of these pets with them.”
[Father!!]
The spirit, wriggling as if protesting against Mila’s hair stroking, jumped up and landed on Lennok’s shoulder again.
Lennok continued stroking the spirit’s head appropriately.
“The strange situation that the dean and the spirits are separated, and the meaning that the dean himself cannot move. And it contains all the messages that the nature of the current situation is related to the spirits.”
“that….”
“You’re saying that the beast this shaman used earlier is a type of spirit.”
“But I don’t think the dean sent the spirit with such a deep meaning in mind….”
“….”
Cassia’s answer seemed to distrust the dean’s plan.
“The problem is that apart from the fact that we dealt with the shamans in the lecture hall of the Elementary School, we have yet to properly uncover the people behind this incident.”
Lennok cleared his throat and quickly changed the topic.
“If we don’t decide what their purpose is and how to deal with them with the students, we won’t be able to move any further.”
“Do these shamans need someone to interrogate? What else is so difficult?”
Mila grinned and began to increase her mana.
“I’m going out with the kids for a while. These beasts will make you speak human language in five minutes.”
* * *
The way Mila made the shamans speak was simple.
A monkey and a leopard are placed in separate classrooms and compared with each other’s information by placating and bullying.
The person caught on the other side claims to have blown information and demands cross-validation, and makes them spit out information first in a situation where they cannot trust each other.
The opening started with information Lennok had gleaned from other shamans.
The shamans, who began to doubt each other, had no choice but to suffer even though they knew it was a commonly used tactic.
“A spirit growth promotion ritual?”
“…okay.”
The shaman wearing a monkey mask said in a weak voice with his limbs bound.
At the point when the leopard was caught, did they think that there was no hope for them anymore?
“The spirits that our shamans work with are fundamentally similar to other spirits, but in essence they are tied to the magic system.”
Could it be that the invisible leopard was concerned that it would blow information first and become comfortable?
The monkey quickly chose his words, watching Mila notice.
“Therefore, by offering high-quality catalysts or magic materials, you can make the spirit stronger and eventually metamorphose it into an existence that is free from the limits of the spirit.”
“It is an existence beyond the limits of the spirits….”
“It doesn’t just end with acquiring higher intelligence and greater power. That’s essentially a special power not allowed to spirits… … .”
The monkey stopped talking and looked up and stared at Lennok’s shoulder.
[…] … .]
Darby, who received that gaze, rubbed his forehead with his tail as if he was annoyed.
He knew roughly what the monkey was thinking, but Lennok needlessly changed the subject before drawing more attention to Darby.
“You mean the materials used in the process were selected as humans.”
At Lennok’s words, the monkey closed its mouth in anger.
“Are you willing to answer more?”
Mila grinned and patted the monkey on the cheek.
“Then, what about the idiot in the leopard mask? You know what you’re going to do if he says something instead?”
The monkey’s mouth opened again as she jumped up and left the classroom.
“Warm up as an ordinary human, and then offer up a wizard.”
“….”
“In order to elevate the existence of spirits in order for the wizards of the lower ranks, offerings are made step by step.”
In the silence, the monkey continued.
“The purity of magic is important. We need a large number of wizards who are in good condition but have a low rank. And the only environment in this city that can satisfy him is… … .”
“You mean it was Rabatenon Magic University?”
said Lennok and shook his head.
“You are crazy. That something like this is happening in the inner Balkans is absurd.”
“You said Evan was behind it. Didn’t that happen because of you?”
“Even if the central council is behind it, it is actually unrealistic to take this level of risk.”
“why?”
Mila asked and kicked the monkey down on the classroom floor.
thud!
“Among the students of Magic University, there are many aristocrats from prestigious families and wealthy people. Even though he knew that the aftermath of this incident would be formidable, he acquiesced to the mysterious shrine’s plan to make students an offering… … .”
Seeing the shaman’s shaking gaze, Lennok nodded.
“It’s hard to explain unless one of the lawmakers decided to share in the achievements of Goesingung or went out of their way to cover up a similar plan.”
“Kuh…!! If you’re going to kill me, kill me quickly!!”
The monkey said with a face that gave up all will to live.
“You told me everything you know. On the topic that I have no intention of saving… … !!”
As a monkey who knows that pigs and elephants died at the hands of Lennok, he cannot have dreamed of a future where he survives here.
However, even so, the reason he obediently blew information in the midst of threats going back and forth between the leopard and himself was to relieve the pain on the way even a little.
It is not that I have succumbed to the physical pain that will come.
He knew very well that because Lennok was an ape-like elementalist, he could bring more pain and suffering than others.
But Mila stepped on the monkey’s shoulder and shook her head.
“No, you haven’t said anything important yet.”
“What…!!”
“The head of the Ghost Shrine. Where are you now?”
Looking at the speechless monkey, Lennok channeled magic into Darby.
Dismissed!!
Lennok asked, looking down at him along with the cyber spirit, which began to radiate flashes of lightning from his body again.
“If you had been hiding in Lavatenon after committing a terrorist attack in Area 34, the chief would have been with you. It makes no sense that the head of the organization would not participate in an operation that stakes the fate of the organization.”
“….”
“If this is all the shamans who are targeting the students of the Elementary Faculty, that head will be picking out one of the other faculties left in the school as a whole. How are you?”
“I can’t say….”
Saying that, the monkey’s face expanded little by little, and then the flesh began to burst as if bubbles had formed.
“I am…to be like this… … Just with my spirit… … !!”
Whoa!!
The monkey’s head exploded on the spot, scattering its contents all over the classroom.
Naturally, blood and other liquids splashed on Lennok, who was standing in front of him, but Darby, who had already raised his magical power, burned them all on the spot, leaving no trace.
Mila frowned at the stench that filled the classroom.
“Then what do we do now? Shall we go and do the same to that leopard?”
“…It won’t be of much use.”
Lennok replied, walking out of the bloodstains on the floor.
“In order to set a suicide trigger like this on a high-ranking superhuman, several people often have to agree on a single rule at the same time. Maybe by now… … .”
thud!!
A dull thumping sound echoed from the lecture hall next to where the leopard was imprisoned.
It was obvious that it was the sound of impact made by a corpse that had lost its head, like this monkey.
Mila pouted and shrugged.
“There must be a reason why you finalized the question about the leader of the Ghost Shrine. Did you think it would end like this from the beginning?”
“These are the ones who are crazy enough to carry out terrorism in the Balkans and yet take a step further there.”
Lennok sighed.
“It wouldn’t be strange if all the members of the organization shared this kind of radical secrecy.”
“Hmm.”
“Do you have any other opinions?”
“No, not that….”
Mila said with her chin on her chin and her eyes narrowed.
“Somehow, the way you think is exactly like the wizard I know.”
[…] … .]
Darby, who was in Lennok’s arms, swallowed.
“Yes, the electric shock emitted by that spirit is slightly similar. The magic pattern is completely different, but should I say that the bloody speed is similar.”
“If the Antares mercenaries are close to the magicians, they must be skilled.”
“skill? Needless to say… … what? I think something similar to this has been said before. is not it?”
“I don’t remember very well.”
Seeing Lennok sticking out his flippers without blinking, Mila tilted her head and shook her head.
“what…I also don’t think that guy is working as an assistant professor at school, and the feeling is similar. This is a very, very great compliment.”
“okay.”
“Perhaps you would have made a fortune if you had turned to a battle mage instead of a researcher.”
“….”
Should I say this feels good?
“Anyway, I’ll be taking care of the scene, so please explain the situation to the others first.”
“All right.”
Lennok walked out of the classroom hallway, leaving Mila to tidy up the corpses of monkeys and leopard-clad shamans.
“It’s a spirit growth promotion ceremony….”
[master. I just want to be praised and worshiped by the organisms, I don’t really want food.]
“What?”
Lennok asked inadvertently, then smiled as he realized the meaning of Darby’s words.
Right now, this fox spirit was worried that Lennok would try to grow Darby through human sacrifice.
“Don’t worry unnecessarily. Apart from the effectiveness of human sacrifice, I have no intention of making you do anything that would defile your spirituality.”
[Hmmmm, I wasn’t worried… … .]
Knowing how absurd the efficiency of human sacrifice is due to his contact with the Guido Church, Lennok had no intention of ever dabbling in such taboo.
Gias is based on the image of immorality that human sacrifice is to sacrifice the same human being, apart from the issue of individual morality and ethics.
It is a fatal twist that even the direction of the answer Lennok himself chooses to change the moment he steps in.
Even if it was unavoidable to deal with them and contact them, Lennok would have to refrain from directly using that forbidden technique.
It was not about human sacrifice that Lennok had in mind.
“The spirit growth promotion ceremony itself is a secret technique handed down among shamans, and the Goddess of God offers human sacrifices to increase the efficiency of the ritual.”
[Yes….]
“Then, don’t you think that if you adjust the ritual itself and touch it, it will help your growth as well?”
[Yeah?]
Lennok laughed as he watched Darby raise his tail.
“In return for attacking the Guido Church’s Far East Branch, Grisha told me that I could freely use all the items on the island.”
[uh? then….]
“I think we can start here today and try until we wipe out all the properties of the Far East Chapter of the Church.”
Proof that the effectiveness and efficiency of the ritual is certain if it is a ritual that is intended to be carried out even by terrorizing the Rabatenon Magic University.
If such a consciousness is directly applied to Darby, who shares some of Lennok’s talents, how far can the eclipse spirit’s hierarchy be raised?
A rare opportunity to grow the hierarchy of spirits, not just Lennok himself.
He knew that he could not stop at preventing terrorism and obtain new growth potential in spirit magic.
‘It’s been some time since the tail stopped on the fourth.’
Until now, it was left for Darby’s natural growth, but if there is no change, it may be time for external stimulation or trial and error.
In order to try anything, first of all, you must obtain the perfect spiritual training ritual.
Lennok thought that far and immediately called Cassia to interrogate the shaman and tell him what he had learned.
“You mean he died trying to talk about the head of the Ghost Shrine….”
“If the chief hadn’t infiltrated the university, there would be no need to hang it.”
Lennox nodded at Cassia’s thoughtful words.
“It seems certain that the head of the Kaijingu is holding another ceremony inside the school.”
“Are you thinking of stopping it?”
Saying that, Cassia looked back at the undergraduates.
“But if we move to prevent this situation, it will be difficult to protect the students. … .”
Things are so bad.
By now, the other officials of the Goddess Palace should have noticed that a large number of shamans dispatched to the Department of Elements had died.
If you are still holding on in the lecture hall, it might not be outside help that arrives, but the shamans of the mysterious palace.
“Then it’s simple.”
Lennok nodded.
“All you have to do is move to find the head of the Ghost Shrine while safely evacuating the students.”
“…yes?”
“Assistant Professor, what nonsense is that?”
Cassia and Mila shook their heads in embarrassment.
How can the work of protecting students and the work of resolving this situation be solved at once by the people gathered here?
Two goals that can be achieved only by moving in completely opposite directions, either by means or by means.
But Lennok was saying there was a way to get his hands on both.
“Do you remember what means of transport the shamans of the Kaising Palace used to enter Rabatenon Magic University?”
