Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine, Chapter 770,
Third Thesis (4)
Immediately after presenting the absurd solution of pushing all the stairs near the 1st floor of the Main Hall of the Magic Tower.
“professor. Excuse me, but can we talk about the stairs issue after the seminar?”
Jenny, who belatedly came to her senses among the silent group, hurriedly shook her head.
“I think it’s going to take a little bit of time to push all the stairs in the tower.”
Jenny said while checking the time with a smile.
“Considering the rehearsal preparations, I wonder if it would be better to leave a bit of leeway….”
“All right.”
That’s what he said, but Lennok didn’t intend to push all the stairs as soon as he arrived at the Mage Tower.
Evan Bylon is a party to the agreement with the Mage Tower, but from Jenny’s point of view, he is an outsider after all.
It’s likely that making major changes to the facility feels like overkill, even if it’s purely about improving the system, like fixing the heating system.
The moment Jenny was about to check the time with a relieved look, seeing Lennok nodding her head obediently.
“Then, let’s end it after adjusting only the other systems around the hole we saw on the way.”
“…yes?”
While Jenny questioned the meaning of the words, Lennok went around the main hall and started tinkering with all sorts of systems.
“There is an error in the expansion ceremony hanging in the exhibition hall on the 2nd floor. I will unravel the twisted flow of magical power.”
clap clap clap!
“The magic built-in material used on the wall is very consumed. Just drilling a hole in the bottom will make it feel better.”
thud!!
“elevator. I think I put a cleaning magic on it, but it’s a crude method, so I’ll erase it. That alone will increase power efficiency even more.”
Wheein!!
“The facility ventilation system has been tweaked. Even after making the function, it seems that it has not been managed, but this will make the air circulation between each floor much easier.”
“….”
Despite touching all the facilities in sight, Jenny and Tatiana didn’t say anything.
It only took a few minutes for Lennok to tamper with the system inside the magic tower.
However, it was because the visible improvement effect was becoming clear enough to be seen with the naked eye.
The warm air blowing into the magic tower has become clearer, and the air in the facility circulates comfortably.
The operation of the elevator between the floors is getting faster, and all kinds of functions of the tower that even Jenny had forgotten about are being improved in various places.
However, Lennok did not stop even with those who were busy following him and watching his work.
“There is a considerable amount of mana that has not been used in the underground power department and has been accumulated.”
Lenok, who pretended not to know anything, checked the system circuit of the Mage Tower’s power room.
“Using these, I think I can install additional convenient features.”
“yes?”
Instead of answering, Lennok opened his laptop again and started fiddling with the program.
With the help of Darby, the necessary algorithms are configured and the software is replaced by interlocking the system so that it can be manipulated with magical power.
System manipulation and organization, which could never be done openly as a class member, can be handled in an instant as Evan’s identity.
PABABABABAAT!!
“The construction itself is impeccable, so it is not difficult to link the system of the facility with the built-in magic.”
“….”
Jenny and Tatiana watched as the tower system was being updated in real time without even asking.
“If you put a variable so that the stored horsepower is compatible and send it remotely to the artifact that ownership belongs to….”
Woooooo!!
The corridor of the tower becomes a huge screen and starts to reflect the landscape, and people currently entering and exiting are lifted up.
Overhead, drones resembling small birds fly, exchanging encrypted signals.
A soft jelly-like kiosk walks through the hallways looking for customers to guide.
Koo Goo Goo!!!
“Jenny, the top has been a bit strange since before. What else are you doing?”
“You don’t have to evacuate right now, do you?”
Even Dylan and Dray, who were working elsewhere, were surprised and ran out. Jenny looked at the other colleagues who were making a lot of noise down there, and asked Lennok with a puzzled expression.
“Now, these are all systems you just created…?”
“Strictly speaking, I didn’t just make it up.”
said Lennok, brushing off his soiled study gown once.
“It’s more like a proper linking of the surplus mana built into the Mage Tower and a recycling of an algorithm created in the past.”
“…”
He said it as if it was not a big deal, but no one laughed it off.
Because everyone knew the value of Evan’s ability to manipulate the system.
Apart from Evan Bylon being a brilliant researcher, it is natural for scholars in general to invest a long time in producing results.
Even if you are not publishing a thesis, you will need to prepare for reviewing the results of your research or repeating an experiment.
However, Evan skipped all of those preparations and repaired the tower’s system with his own hands as soon as he arrived at the Mage’s Tower.
Is this possible because of how in-depth he has been researching the magic manipulation system?
With that alone, the three of them seemed to be able to understand why Van was in a hurry to sign an agreement with Rabatenon.
It’s not for Evan Bylon’s convenience to use the anti-gravity thesis or the substitution thesis of magic power and electric power.
He had an intuition that he was willing to borrow the abilities of this researcher named Evan Bylon.
“Awesome….”
Felix, who was listening to Lennok’s explanation, shook his head.
“I don’t think there’s an engineer anywhere who can do something like this in less than half a day. Professor, you don’t really know the value of what you’ve done.”
“Did this mean that the direction of talent is different?”
Tatiana finally regained some composure and muttered,
“It is too individualistic. This could be rather dangerous… … .”
Other mercenaries who had come up the upper hallway before they knew it surrounded Lennok and began to tear him apart.
From the exhibition hall located on the lower floor, to the employees of the cooperative business looking up at us with a bewildered look.
“We are almost done with system updates worth trying right now.”
Lennok looked back at them and spoke again to Jenny.
“Lastly, we will just rehearse on the podium and start the seminar right away.”
* * *
“Are you a peculiar person?”
A huge pulpit prepared in advance in the center of the main hall.
A stage made for a single presentation and movable luxury seats surrounded by tiers.
Jenny, sitting in the seats reserved for the audience to audition the seminar, turned her eyes to Lennok and said,
Standing on the podium, Evan was experimenting with the operation of the spell on the podium with the help of other mercenaries.
The figure of Evan measuring the amount of light and the size of the viewing angle screen is a specimen of a calm researcher unlike before.
“Looking at you like this, you seem like a very different person from before….”
Tatiana tilted her head.
“Is there a common denominator that geniuses hate? It was the first time I knew.”
“I didn’t think he would have a normal personality, but his reaction is kind of strange.”
Felix, who was standing with his arms crossed at Jenny’s muttered words, nodded.
“There is no doubt that he is an extraordinary person. Isn’t he one of the most famous scholars in this megalopolis?”
“From what I’ve heard, they say you haven’t officially secured the position of professor yet.”
Tatiana answered.
“Some say that as a result of this seminar, I will pass the combined master’s and doctoral degree course and become a professor. To be honest, I’m not even a scholar yet.”
“It is said that Aris Richellen took an eye on his talent and recruited him, but either way, he is a great person in many ways.”
“No, that’s not what I mean.
Jenny interrupted the two of them and asked.
“There is something suspicious about his personality, his words, and his actions. It sure seems a little odd.”
“It’s strange…? I didn’t really feel that way.”
“I guess it’s because I’m not very interested. If you talk to them directly, you feel a sense of incongruity.”
While Felix tilted his beak, Jenny glanced back at him and scolded him.
“In the first place, do you think I wouldn’t know that Felix is coming to the Mage’s Tower just to eat tuna?”
“…Too many words. You’re making time for collaboration, but not necessarily.”
Jenny turned her gaze away from Felix, who couldn’t bear to deny it and averted her gaze.
“Look at that. You’re already pampering our kids naturally.”
“….”
“Really. Manson, since when did that guy work so hard… … .”
With the help of other mercenaries, repositioning the engine or model around the podium and placing the seats differently.
Following Evan’s gestures, other mercenaries are moving in perfect order to create space.
As a guest of the Mage Tower, apart from being kind to her, it’s strange that she puts aside her duties and helps with rehearsal preparations.
While Felix noticed it and tilted his head, Tatiana found out the reason.
“It looks like he looks at the artifacts of the mercenaries in his spare time.”
“Could you unlock the personal equipment system lock you have?”
“….”
Some of the high-performance equipment sold in the dark are sold using subscription systems.
Instead of paying regularly to see performance, the initial purchase price is much cheaper than the market price.
To put it bluntly, should we call it a way to sell installments to unreliable customers in the dark?
Evan was hacking and repairing the mercenaries’ equipment in return for his exploits.
“It’s kind of strange that you became close enough to make such a deal with the mercenaries in that short period of time.”
“I thought about it earlier, but our abilities and dispositions are too different to work with Ban. Even if there was a point of contact by chance, I don’t think it would have been a match enough to consider collaboration… … .”
The wizard Jenny knows, Van, is not someone who likes to rely on other people’s talents or abilities.
Someone who much prefers to get what they need and get it for themselves, and can take care of most issues on their own.
Of course, it’s not that Van doesn’t get help from others at all, but that’s a matter of efficiency.
It is only limited to tasks or problems that can be handled and resolved by yourself at any time if desired.
I don’t know if it’s to the extent of supplying and placing the necessary talent to do the job you want.
There were few times when people saw Evan Bylon’s ability and actively tried to attract him like now.
Should it be said that he paid attention to Evan’s abilities and talents, or does Evan Bylon have more secrets than Jenny can see?
“Even though the way you treat mercenaries is unfamiliar, you seem to know quite a bit about this industry.”
muttered Jenny.
“Maybe someone who has worked in this industry before.”
“Maybe he heard information about us from Van. Aren’t you guessing too much?”
Tatiana shook her head skeptically.
“Even if it doesn’t seem like it, he’s a very talkative guy. It wouldn’t be strange if you talked about the industry while talking to the professor.”
“…I wasn’t the only one thinking that.”
Jenny shook her head while Felix nodded, agreeing that Lennok wasn’t so reticent.
“I’m going to find information about an elementalist who has been working in the shadows for the past dozen years. can you help me?”
“At this point, finding out where Evan Bylon came from…It seems a bit risky. Would it be okay if I proceeded without being confirmed by Ban?”
It’s not like I’m going to pretend to be with Evan right now, so what’s the use of investigating his history?
While Felix thought about the proposal slightly, Jenny asked with a puzzled expression.
“What are you thinking? The goal is to find information about the spirit sorcerer and erase traces as much as possible.”
“…aha.”
It was only then that Tatiana nodded, understanding what Jenny was trying to say.
“You meant to hide it instead of finding out where it came from?”
“Even if the possibility is low, the agreement will be disrupted if the professor catches the pod there.”
Jenny muttered while fiddling with her phone.
“This is to prevent any contingencies that may occur on this floor.”
“Well, if that’s the case, there’s no disagreement.”
Felix nodded and took out his phone from within his arms.
He said, tapping the small screen compared to the bird-headed giant’s big hands.
“There is a list of personnel posts managed by the mercenary industry. If you entrust it to a broker who is engaged in related work, he will cleanly erase the traces.”
“I’ll take over the deep web. Don’t forget to pick a few more occupations and not just erase the Elemental Sorcerers so they don’t show off.”
“There is an association on the Mage Tower side that shares the personal information of magicians who handle unusual spells. Let’s find a way to make contact there.”
As Felix and Jenny Tatiana specialize in different fields, the distribution of work is also done skillfully.
However, as there is not much time left before the presentation of the seminar, proper work should be done after the presentation is over.
“Hmm, I guess I’ll have to find the right time and show condescension to Professor Bylon.”
“…Do I really have to do that?”
“of course. If you don’t tell me, who will recognize these efforts? That way, we won’t be more actively cooperating with the agreement.”
While Jenny gave a face to Felix who shook his head, a quiet vibration suddenly resonated from the back of the hallway.
ugh!!
A quiet yet clear echo, as if announcing someone’s visit in advance.
Tatiana, who had been staring at the podium with a languid expression, immediately felt a change and looked away.
“Jenny has arrived. Officials from other cities.”
“Did you arrive from a city other than the Balkans first?”
As the location of this seminar was moved to the Mage’s Tower of Solidarity, the category of people attending the seminar also increased significantly.
Not only the officials of businesses and research institutes in the Balkans, but also the magic towers located in other cities or fronts have expressed their participation.
In the meantime, officials from other places, who must have departed from a relatively far distance, began to arrive first.
Those who openly radiate a clear and unique magic that can be felt even on the other side of the hallway where the main hall cannot be seen properly.
“how will we do it?”
“I will guide you to the VIP room and wait for you. If we start the seminar as soon as the rehearsal is over, time will pass-”
While giving the message to contact the attendants and direct them to another place, someone passed them and started walking towards the podium.
Even though Tatiana raised her magical powers and blocked him, the damage disappeared like a ghost.
“…for a moment. what?”
The moment Tatiana stood up frowning at that strange sensation.
Someone willingly approached the podium to avoid the witch’s detection, looked at Lennok’s back and scratched his chin.
“hmm….”
The man who was staring at the podium muttered.
“I know roughly what you are going to do. But this isn’t their way… … .”
“You can’t come in this way yet, sir?”
The man who openly ignored Dylan’s words, carrying speakers on both shoulders, pondered and laughed.
“Still, it seems worthwhile to come back a long way. After all, sometimes you need to go to a well-known party.”
Only then did Lennok, who spotted the man, sneakily check the time and turn his head.
There are now less than 10 minutes left until the start of the presentation.
At this point in the countdown to the publication of the thesis, an outsider broke through the border between Tatiana and Felix.
Not an ordinary person.
Lennok was so sure he asked.
“…who are you?”
“Are you Evan Bylon?”
Immediately after asking the question inadvertently, Lenok shut up as soon as he saw the opponent who had come closer. An unfamiliar face.
Unremembered magical power.
An ordinary old man with no special features.
Even though it was clear that it was someone he had never seen before, a tremendous sense of incongruity passed through Lennok’s mind the moment they met their eyes.
“Ah, I’m the one who came in among the officials in the Machine City side. I’m not an industry person if I had to argue, so um….”
The old man smiled casually and held out his hand calmly.
“I guess you could just call me Artemire.”
“….”
Ater Myer.
The moment Lennok tilted his head to control his expression upon hearing the name.
“It’s better if you call me Dr.”
The doctor smiled strangely as he looked at Lennok.
