Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine, Chapter 773,

The Third Thesis (7)

The Great City of Balkan. A busy square in the central district.

Beyond the dozens of billboards hung everywhere, only one person’s face has been reflected for a long time.

A figure calmly looking at the camera with his back against a dark cavity and a myriad of lights floating up.

All the people in the street stared at the man’s face in silence and bewitched.

A feeble heat that hadn’t even been properly excited yet.

A brief gap in which he did not realize the value of the magic system Evan had revealed.

“I finally made an announcement.”

An elderly man sitting at a nearby table watched as the expressions of the people gradually changed after understanding the contents of the presentation.

He sipped a small water bottle with his chin resting in a bored expression.

The face, which can only be guessed at by the passage of time, was plain and neat, as if it had been artificially created.

“The common magic system is an overly troublesome power no matter how you think about it. You probably don’t know that it’s difficult to handle.”

A new magic system that is not bound by lineage, attribute origin, or origin.

Is there anyone out there who understands even a little bit about its true meaning?

“The choice is yours, but well… … Will it be accepted in the same sense by others?”

“Didn’t you come to see me in person to confirm that?”

The nun who was sitting across from me quietly replied as if she had noticed the doctor’s sluggish reaction.

“It’s not like you to borrow a human form and come all the way to the Balkans and say such things.”

“Right. It didn’t look like he was drunk with talent, but maybe that would have been better.”

The doctor who was touching his chin replied.

“If he was an arrogant and lacking in empathy, I would have watched him comfortably. It sounds like you have more ulterior motives… … .”

“… … .”

While saying that, the doctor didn’t let go of the water bottle he was holding in his hand and sucked on one side.

The water bottle itself is made of hard metal and the contents are invisible, but Hireah knew that it was no ordinary liquid.

“A story about the thesis. Would it be okay to do more in a place like this? If you don’t mind, move your seat-”

she said, looking around slightly with her arms crossed.

At first glance, it seems that everyone is focused on the billboard and doesn’t pay attention to the two of them.

Hireah was not unaware of how many eyes to see and ears to hear in this city.

There is no worry that the conversation will leak out with the doctor, but it is natural to be careful with what you say.

However, the doctor nodded his head with a languid expression toward Hyrea.

“Listen. If you’re a guy who can eavesdrop on conversations through the seven-color joint elastic barrier, you’d rather hear this conversation.”

“… … What kind of technology are you talking about?”

Hireah, who understood that unknown technology was blocking eavesdropping, put down the tumbler and asked.

“If what Evan Bylon announced was Old World magic, why didn’t you, Doctor, touch it?”

Pandemonium’s Dr. Artermeyer has studied the civilizations of the Old World more deeply than anyone she knows.

A genius researcher who designed the Ascension Gate, which was connected to the legacy of the old world, even before entering the Pandemonium.

Of course, he must have known that the common magic system Evan announced was magic that already existed in the old world.

If so, why didn’t the doctor disclose it even though he knew about common magic?

“Even without the leader’s instructions, I would have been able to get my hands on common magic through the Ascension Gate left in Makina. No matter how you look at it, isn’t it the only benefit?”

The potential of common magic is difficult to describe in words, even for Hireah, who is not well versed in magic.

Unlike existing unique magic, the only strength is that it is not greatly bound by lineage, hierarchy, and talent.

Overwhelming versatility that is attractive enough not only to magicians but also to magicians who use other types of spells.

Even if it is used only through a terminal called a learning device, the story will be different when it starts to spread to the public in earnest.

Right now, the focus is on only the three common magics that Evan revealed, but what if the number of common magics increases steadily in the future?

Evan Byron single-handedly controls all the information that still seems valuable and controls the degree of disclosure. The one-sided advantage.

No matter how you look at it, Evan Bylon has come to the verge of acquiring the reputation of a completely different pioneer.

What is the reason why none of the bigwigs who know the secrets of the world, including the doctor, did not try that method willingly?

However, as soon as the doctor heard Hyrea’s words, he was cynical.

“You are seriously mistaken about something. It’s not that I didn’t, it’s that I couldn’t.”

“… … That you couldn’t do it?”

“I am not a wizard. If I had to ask, it was more like an engineer.”

the doctor replied.

“Studying old world magic is far from my job. It’s inefficient, and it’s not even what we’re after. Besides-”

“Besides?”

The doctor, who was silent for a while at Highrea’s question, looked away and said.

“Originally, the common magic system is a technique that cannot be used in this world. It is a power that cannot be reproducible by itself unless it is built into the artifact.”

“… … Why?”

“well. I’m not sure either. Could it be because someone secretly wanted that?”

The doctor, who casually brushed aside Hirea’s question, smiled.

“It is not known what kind of transaction took place at the moment when the cause and effect of the world ended once again… … .”

“… … .”

Did Highrea understand the meaning of the doctor’s words?

But without further explanation, both of them looked at the screen as if they had promised.

Now it’s not Evan, but a camera that illuminates the observer operating the terminal inside the Mage Tower.

“However, Evan Bylon succeeded in processing the common magic system so that it could be used in this world.”

The doctor raised his gaze slightly and said.

“In my opinion… … I guess that is the true value of the third thesis.”

His eyes, unable to read his emotions, turned to the end of a skyscraper built in the distance.

* * *

Whoooooo!!!

The rooftop of the office building on the top floor of the Baritz headquarters district.

Someone stopped the man standing on the spacious balcony outside the office window.

“Vice President Ikabon.”

Someone who lowered his head so deeply that his face could not be seen quietly reported the situation.

“Professor Bylon’s seminar schedule has just officially ended.”

“result?”

“The planning office was right in their judgment that a reproducibility review of the technology of the old world would be conducted.”

Dante answered quietly.

“However, because the reproduced technology itself is judged to be so absurd… … .”

“report.”

Icarbon silently flipped through the report his secretary had brought him and pulled the trigger on the pistol he was holding.

Taang!!

With that gesture, the person standing in front of him trembling rolled his eyes and collapsed.

“Find out more about how Evan Bylon’s identity is being protected.”

ICarbon muttered, nervously waving his hand over the attendants who disappeared after recovering the corpse.

“If a needlessly smart idiot goes over to another faction, it will come back with a disgustingly large loss.”

At the same time as one of the secretaries rushed off, Icarbon looked back.

“Tell the department under your command. Please do not arbitrarily approach projects related to the common magic system.”

In the back of the quiet office, dozens of elderly executives stared at the Icarbon-like screen with hard faces.

Executives who lead the business unit of Baritz.

All of them are those who can lead the business with independent authority inside the company.

ICarbon shook his head, ignoring the executives.

“It is related to a very old cause and effect. Stay vigilant until you see Evan Bylon tending to do common magic updates. Do you understand?”

“All right.”

“good. I have something to say to the old people of the central council from now on, so go.”

As soon as the executives hurriedly vacated the office at the shocking words, Ikabon did not hesitate to grab the phone.

“Yes, Senator.”

Ikabon, who immediately connected the call somewhere, looked out the window and twisted his lips.

“Didn’t I tell you to set aside time for the time being?”

[…] … !!!]

As someone shouted in a frenzied tone, ICarbon removed the phone from his ear.

It was only after the voice that had been shouting for a long time that it was quieted down that Icarbon spoke again.

“That is none of my business. I don’t really care if it’s dangerous or not.”

[…] … .]

“However, call Amanda separately and clarify your position. Do you understand?”

Looking at the scene of the brightly lit city, Ikabon murmured.

“In order not to say anything more about this seminar, you will have to take good care of the mouths of the friends you put in.”

After Lennok published his third paper, only one thing was talked about.

[Evan Bylon. The founder of a new magic system.]

[A common magic system that is not bound by attributes and rules is born.] It is

not simply a matter of occupying the front page news column, but the entire newspaper published today is only talking about the thesis.

“How could you focus so differently?”

Sitting in the conference room on the top floor of the Mage Tower, Lennok muttered as he looked at the headline of the article that took up the front page of the newspaper.

Darby, who had climbed on the table and licked her paws, replied as if it was not difficult.

[It’s slightly distorting information to increase attention. Isn’t that always the case?]

“… … .”

[In fact, I often use it to increase the number of views on the deep web… … Whoops.]

Lennok tugged at Darby’s cheeks and flipped through the newspaper.

[The Rabatenon Administration Office revealed that it had completed the evaluation of Evan Bylon’s master’s and doctoral integrated course… … ]

[It is expected that there will be a graduation ceremony with the announcement of the results… … Will a new chair professor be born?]

[The life of Evan Bylon, who became a new master of magic. How did an anonymous researcher become a master scholar representing the Balkans?] It

was full of articles exaggerating and exaggerating Lennok’s biography to the point of impossibility, and stimulating rumors about Evan’s personal life.

It takes a long time to flip through the pages to the point where you can see the opinions and discussions of experts on the thesis.

[About the existence of the common magic system Dexter. Experts refute that it is an ancient legacy that has existed for a long time.]

[Evan Bylon’s real achievement was actually proving the existence of general-purpose magic that only existed in theory.]

“Hmm… … Only then did Lennok, who had

been flipping through the articles with an interesting gaze, nodded.

“It wasn’t just a lot of nonsense. After all, did the others know about the theory?”

Why was no one using the common magic system in the third world?

A question that Lennok has had since he first woke up in this world.

At first, I thought it was because common magic had been forgotten, but many other legacy and technologies of the old world have already been excavated.

Among the countless geniuses and monsters that Lennok knew, there must have been no one who knew about the existence of common magic.

Even so, if common magic was never used, what would be the root cause?

Lennok realized that there was a problem with the magic itself after trying to pass on common magic to others.

‘I don’t know why, but when using common magic, the shaking of magical power becomes too strong.’

The moment the public magic is chanted, the magic around it becomes extremely unstable and the chant itself is destroyed.

Beyond the level of being unusable, it is doubtful that it does not exist as a magic system in the first place.

A fact that Lennok himself did not know because he suppressed and wielded the shaking with his transcendent magic manipulation ability.

That’s probably possible because Lennok is a being who has raised the talent of a wizard to the limit, rather than because he remembers common magic.

After realizing that, Lennok understood the fact that special ‘processing’ was required for common magic to be used by others.

‘If you use the magical flow reproduction module to stabilize shaking and increase reproducibility, you can use it while maintaining versatility.’

Lennock realized this fact while writing the thesis and found out that the desired result could be extracted immediately if there was a reproduction module through circulation.

The ‘update’ mentioned during the seminar presentation is the process of processing Lennok’s common magic so that it can be reproduced through modules.

So, strictly speaking, the public magic used by Lennok and the public magic that will be built into the learning device in the future are no different from other magics.

The process of dissolving into this world in line with the original purpose of common magic by reducing its performance considerably and increasing its versatility.

Even if it seemed like a half-achievement, Lennok was convinced that the update itself would be unconditionally beneficial.

[Currently, it is known that Professor Bylon has entered an indefinite confinement to update the fourth public magic… … .]

[Despite the protests against the behavior of refusing all interviews and interviews and leaving the seat, he adheres to a tough attitude in Rabatenon and the Magic Tower… … .]

‘In the name of updating, I can directly control the speed and degree of disclosure of the common magic system with my own hands.’

Lennok thought so and turned over the paper.

‘If we cooperate with the Mage Tower to deal with related matters, we won’t have to create an alibi every time Evan and Ban are away.’

If learning devices are mass-produced and spread throughout the Balkans, the area where Darby can work through terminals will also increase significantly.

If the common magic created by Lennok starts to spread throughout the Balkans like that, you can put insurance in the direction you don’t want.

Praise and blame doubt and joy.

While I was flipping through the newspapers, admiring the sincerity that managed to capture various reactions in one morning and publish them as articles.

Someone knocked on the door from outside the room.

“Come in.”

When Lennok answered, hiding Darby in his arms, the door burst open as if he had waited.

Jenny, who couldn’t even straighten her hair and had wide eyes, walked up without a word and sat across from Lennok.

Felix and Tatiana, who had walked in after them, also looked for a seat and sat down with dazed expressions.

“… … ”

Four people who are silent without saying anything.

Only the awkward air flowing through the office was indirectly proving the outcome of the seminar.

Jenny sighed softly and opened her mouth weakly.

“All the observers who participated in the seminar were sent back.”

“You worked hard. Would you like some water?”

My voice is cracking because I haven’t been able to say anything in the meantime.

Jenny’s vocal cords, which were fine even after shouting at freelancers all day, were so heavy that they dried up.

However, Jenny shook her head at Evan’s consideration and opened her mouth.

“All of them clamored to touch the learning device more. If the device hadn’t all been broken along the way, it would never have worked.”

“okay… … .”

“Is that on purpose?”

Jenny’s eyes shone sharply as she looked at Lennok.

“I purposely made the learning device so poor that it wouldn’t last long.”

“… … .”

“Did you know how people would react after you made your presentation?”

Was he convinced that even the poor design of the device was a calculated area?

Lennok slightly avoided Jenny’s sharp gaze.

“It was just a lack of time and budget. It wasn’t intentional. but… … .”

“but?”

“I did think the reaction would be intense either way.”

“… … .”

Tatiana nodded at Jenny, who was silent with a look of bewilderment.

“That is not wrong. Right now, Balkan is in great chaos, just as the professor said.”

“The Central Council is even discussing an agenda to temporarily close District 49. This is something we can’t deal with either.”

Felix murmured as Lennok kept his mouth shut.

“But what a surprise. A magician who has not transcended the hierarchy creates a new magic system through his own research… … .”

“… … .”

“Thanks to you, my suspicions that you borrowed Van’s help are gone. It’s self-evident since Van couldn’t have created another magic system. It should be good news, but… … .”

“I think we should correct the misunderstanding about that part.”

Lennok straightened up and said.

“I seem to be treated as a knight, but I did not create a common magic system alone. I just discovered regularities that exist in theory and refined them into something that anyone can use.”

Lennok looked away as he said that.

“Mister Chiglet. Isn’t it?”

“It’s not wrong to say that there have been various conjectures in the academic world about the existence of common magic, but… … .”

Tatiana answered with a puzzled expression.

“Processing it to a level that can actually be used and distributing it in the form of a learning device is a completely different area.”

Tatiana shook her head and said.

“To demonstrate a theoretical hypothesis and present it to the world. We often say that it created a new magic. You are too modest.”

“… … .”

“What the professor has accomplished is a feat that no magician on the continent has ever challenged. It is good that you are clearly aware of its value.”

Tatiana let out a small sigh and said.

“It is fortunate that this announcement was made at the Mage Tower. Maybe because of the notoriety that has spread in Van’s name, there doesn’t seem to be any sign of disquiet yet.”

Felix looked away.

“Professor Bylon. The controversial part of your thesis is not only the existence of the learning device.”

“… … .”

“To demonstrate a new magic system that did not exist before. It seems that the professor wanted to make that fact a secondary achievement of the thesis… … How will this presentation look to others now?”

Felix looked out the window and said.

“If discovering a rule that did not exist before is also an achievement of the century, there is no one who cannot easily accept that it has been refined and made into a form that can be used by anyone.”

“that… … .”

“I had to announce it much more slowly than this and break down the results step by step. At least that’s how I see it from my lack of insight.”

That’s not wrong.

In the end, it is true that Lennok shortened the schedule considerably to announce the results of his thesis within a week and somewhat compressed the results linked to the thesis.

“Okay, can you both go out for a bit?”

Jenny, lost in thought, nodded toward Felix.

“I have something to talk about with the professor for a while.”

Silence lingers in the office at the same time that Tatiana and Felix are gone.

Jenny, who had been staring at Lennok in silence, spoke.

“Immediately after the seminar, I got a call from both the Order Federation and the Church.”

“… … .”

“Both of them did not participate in this seminar because the Federation and the Church have recently started a war on the central front.”

Saying that, Jenny rummaged through the bag she had been carrying.

She said as she pulled out an old-fashioned stationery from her bag.

“I think I thought it was important enough to want to intervene in this agenda, even if it was late… … .”

“okay.”

“Especially, the attitude of the federation is blatant. The proposal is just as unconventional.”

“What did you suggest?”

“The head of the federation wants to meet the professor in person.”

“… … .”

The head of the Order Federation.

Does that mean that the existence that has been occasionally mentioned by the magicians under his command wants to see Lennok in person?

While Lennok was hesitant about the words for a moment and lost in thought, Jenny spoke again as if she didn’t understand.

“and… … I have suggested that if we allow the meeting, we can forcibly complete the professor’s hierarchy.”
