Drug-Eating Genius Mage

A month has passed since you killed Eden and brought down the cigar bang gang.

In the meantime, Lennok devoted himself to researching magic while staying away from home without anything special.

Except for occasional exchanges of regards with Jenny, the only thing she goes out to do is buy groceries or make an appointment with Aris.

During the day, he meets Aris in the library and repeats talking to himself like a crazy person, and at night, he repeats turning over Eden’s research journal until the time is up.

After sleeping three nights in a row and passing out, he bought another Stemonia using Panoa’s personal connections.

It may have been a wasteful expenditure since the harmful effects of the beginning of the year had not yet accumulated on his body, but Lennok realized that he could not miss this time.

Regardless of his talent, there is a time and a season for learning.

Lennok did not know when this opportunity to learn the theory from Aris and conduct practice with a research log at the same time would come again.

When money, time, and circumstances permit, you must do your best.

It was a very precious time obtained by successfully completing cross-border requests several times.

As a result, Lennok was growing like crazy in terms of both knowledge and ability of magic.

The magic system is gradually developed by remodeling not only the lightning series but also the common magic as a whole.

Unable to control the inspiration and imagination that rises from within, they experiment with all sorts of magic and surpass it.

The level was already outstanding beyond the level that could be hidden.

To the point where he couldn’t even hide Lennok’s own intuition from Aris.

“…So I thought about changing the way element-based magic is combined in a slightly different direction. In fact, isn’t element-based magic now more of an on-the-spot assembly rather than digging deep into the attributes themselves?”

“……..”

“Honestly, I don’t think it’s a very efficient way. Of course, the optimization of the process itself has been done almost perfectly through countless studies, but isn’t there a situation where there is no clear answer to how to improve the mechanism of the process?”

Unaware that Aris was staring into his face, Lennok writhed.

“In effect, if we abandon the double assembling process and design so that the two axes rotate like gears and the magic engages one by one…

”

“…..yes?”

Did I get tired of talking to myself too much?

The moment when Lennok’s face was about to blush slightly, feeling a rare sense of shame.

Aris suddenly took out a business card from her arms and held it out to him.

“take it.”

“This…”

“I think I gave it to you once when we first met.”

She smiled softly as she ran through her golden hair.

Professor at Rabatenon University. This is Aris Richellen’s business card.

“I had a lot of worries, but I was convinced after seeing it today.”

With her blue eyes shining quietly, she continued.

“Passion for knowledge, desire for inquiry, keen eye and understanding. Both his reasoning and intuition skills are flawless by my standards. To be honest, I was kind of surprised.”

“……..”

“If he had enough magic, he might have been a wizard on par with me. That’s why you have a talent for theoretical research.”

“Talent…”

“Come into my lab. I want to conduct research on magic theory together.”

After a split second,

Lennok shut his mouth.

It was only then that I started to feel that I was too excited.

growth over the past month.

Gradually, he fell into the fun of studying magic that began to develop on his own, breaking away from the framework of common magic, and inadvertently revealed it to Aris.

No, in fact, Lennock might have known.

He was immersed in the fact that he was a comrade who studied magic together and was mistaken.

Seeing Lennok with a troubled expression on his lips, Aris hurriedly continued.

Seeing him change into a completely different person in an instant, he realized that something was wrong.

“Of course, I don’t mean to work without any position in my lab. First of all, I will officially hire you as an assistant professor, and I will give you lectures, and I can give you permission to audit lectures at the university. Not only the salary, but also many benefits in terms of welfare…”

Lennok didn’t listen any further and stood up.

The same kind smile appeared on his face before he knew it.

“Can I think about it for a bit and then contact you?”

Alice is no fool.

She knew that if she missed this moment, she would never be able to bring up this topic again.

In desperation, she kicked off the table with both hands, stood up, and turned to Lennok.

“……I can create an identity for you.”

“……”

Standing tall.

When Lennok heard that, he realized that the relationship had reached the point where it was no longer inevitable.

“How did you know?”

He speaks in such a confident tone, but Lennok isn’t stupid enough to run away.

And I didn’t want to fool her like that.

Aris responded in a more subdued voice to Lennok’s calm acknowledgment.

“It’s not uncommon in this city… to have a nameless person.”

“……..”

Was it possible to guess from not revealing the name?

Because he didn’t pay much attention to the Yangji side, it seems that he allowed Aris to speculate on that part.

“As an assistant professor at Rabatenon University, that in itself can be a recognized job. Even if you are insecure about your status right now, if you take action through this connection, it will not be impossible to obtain a proper ID.”

“Whoa…”

Lennox let out a small sigh.

It’s ridiculous, but it’s because I realized that Aris’ words didn’t just sound harsh.

The cost required to create a high-end counterfeit ID that the hacker introduced by Jenny said was over 400 million cells.

If so, how much does it cost to make a formal ID?

How much does it cost to establish a decent job and position in the sun?

….It was a problem that could not be easily measured.

The mere fact that it can reduce intermediate processes and save costs is a huge benefit to Lennok.

And the merit of being able to participate in proper magic research under Aris was far beyond simply financial gain.

Did he even read Lennok’s shaking expression? Aris hesitantly spits out the words.

That small true heart that was pushed back in a shady cause.

“……I want to help. You might think I’m presumptuous.”

“……”

“It’s a difficult situation.”

After hearing that, Lennok could fully believe what Aris was saying.

When I thought about her character and words and actions that I had seen so far, I could tell that her words were sincere.

a rare person

Especially in this cold and hard city.

Just that Lennok is ready to accept the offer.

That was the only problem.

In the end, what I could say was no different from before.

“I need some time to think.”

Words that are no different than before.

But did he even see something beyond Lennok’s gaze?

Aris’ expression was much softer than before.
