Genius Warlock-Episode 254
Oliver helped Child adjust to the corpse doll-Bathory..
The only help I could offer was to support my body so I could move, or to talk about various things to find areas for improvement..
But that doesn't mean it's meaningless..
I learned one interesting fact during this process..
It was none other than the fact that Child controlled it depending on the quality of the corpse doll, but there was a time difference..
For example, in the case of a corpse doll that does not have any special abilities, specialties, or characteristics, the child can handle it freely as soon as the child enters it, whereas a corpse doll that has various abilities, specialties, and characteristics and is deep in depth takes quite a bit of time..
I felt it a little bit before, but Bathory was different, so this made it clear..
Quite important information for using the invoice doll.
Oliver recorded the fact in his notebook and guessed the reason..
‘After all, it must be because the amount of information on the corpse is large and difficult, right? Child digests it.…….'
Although not certain, Oliver came to a tentative conclusion:.
Now it's hard to say it again, but there were times when Child used the corpse doll's special skills, movements, and techniques more than the original owner..
An example is that the original ability was amplified two or three times through cooperation between corpse dolls..
Rather than using technology through the corpse doll, Child seemed closer to learning the corpse doll's abilities and then using them as his own..
Although these two seem the same, they are completely different, and in the latter case, Child could dream of infinite possibilities..
As more corpse dolls are used, Child can acquire and accumulate various skills and abilities proportionally..
Then naturally another question came to mind..
The question is whether Child can learn new skills by training himself using the corpse doll..
In some cases, you didn't have to rely solely on the quality of the invoice doll..
Oliver quickly recorded the information, developed a hypothesis, and drew up a detailed research method. So you can try it right away later.
I wanted to dig into this issue right away. I couldn't do that because I had work to do..
Because of things like turning female warlocks into corpse dolls or going back to work at the Magic Tower..
"Was that really the first time you met that problem solver, Will??”
Life School Tower within the Magic Tower.
There, Oliver was talking face to face with three wizards. Strictly speaking, it was closer to a newspaper than a conversation..
“Yes, we met at the Outpost..”
"how did you meet?”
"It happened by chance while I was looking for problem solvers to accompany me..”
"by chance?”
"yes."
Oliver answered briefly..
The three Life School wizards who went through formal procedures to borrow Oliver looked dissatisfied..
I looked at Oliver silently with a suspicion that was unclear, but not enough to be expressed out loud..
“……By the way, how did you come up with the idea of hiring a problem solver for the professor's representative? By any chance, did Kevin order it??”
"No, that was my decision. I heard that the road from Outpost to Holland is dangerous. Professor Kevin and the wizard who helped us at the Outpost branch all said the same thing. I know there is no problem with the school rules... … . Is there a problem??”
Oliver asked, but he knew better than anyone that there was no problem..
[This was clearly written in the [Magic Tower Rules].
An acting professor is a person who has been delegated the authority of a professor. Of course, he could exercise his discretion and borrow manpower from outside. As long as you take responsibility when problems arise..
The three wizards made eye contact and moved on to the next story..
“……Is there any way to confirm the identity of the problem solver named Will??”
"Details about this are in the report.-”
“-If it was a report, we read it too. We want to hear it from your mouth..”
An answer mixed with nervousness and caution. Oliver bowed his head..
"sorry… … . Since you are active in the Northin community, I think you can check it out there..”
“No for the Norse community. It's a very closed place, and the only people there are paranoid lazy people. They are beings who only lie..”
"Sorry, I don't know any more than that..”
Another wizard intervened..
"That's the problem. Why did you hire a troubleshooter without even knowing? How many thieves are there targeting the Magic Tower's rare knowledge? .… .. You could have asked the outpost branch to find a problem solver.?”
"I'm just sorry about that too. Since no one taught me, I thought I had to hire myself..”
This was also true.
I was able to go to the outpost through portal magic and hear detailed information about transportation, but no one explained anything about safety..
The life school that requested help from Kevin also.
In the end, the wizards had no choice but to keep quiet once again..
Even if we continued talking, we would only embarrass each other..
“……Let's move on to the next story.”
"yes."
The three Life School wizards asked Oliver in detail about what he did on the way to Mountain Face and what happened at the laboratory..
As if they were trying to see if there was any manipulated content..
Fortunately, Oliver, who had practiced with Kevin several times, answered in line with the contents of the report and avoided all questions that were considered traps..
Thanks to this, the Life School wizards' suspicions about Oliver gradually faded..
“……This is the end.”
Oliver finished explaining what happened at the lab. As expected, he had nothing to complain about..
"He actually destroyed the wall and lowered the floor using flame magic.?”
"yes."
“hmm… … . You're not an average person. By any chance, did you see anything strange in the lab? Or that the solver touches the world tree?”
"I don't know everything because we parted ways for a while, but he wasn't there at all when he was with me. And if it's strange, what specifically are you talking about??”
"No, it's nothing..”
The Life School wizards immediately withdrew their questions and started talking among themselves..
I couldn't hear it clearly, but they seemed to conclude that there was no problem..
“I heard the story well. I've asked everything I'm curious about, so go back now..”
“Yes, thank you.”
Oliver bows politely and gets up from his seat. As Kevin said, it ended without any major problems. Now go back to the Elemental Tower and work again.-
"-wait for a sec.”
"yes?”
A wizard from the life school who was particularly strict and harbored deep suspicions called Oliver over..
He never gave up his doubts until the very end..
"Just one last question.”
"What is it like??”
"I heard that the train you were on was attacked by Norse robbers. Is that true??”
“……yes.”
“And he was active there.?”
“ah… … . Well it's not that great.”
"It's not that a criminal with a bounty of 30 million isn't great. When I looked into it, I heard that many of the robbers were excellent magic users, so they had a hard time even in the military... … . Who were you trained by??”
"Sorry, is this a work-related question??”
"That's not true, but wouldn't answering that cause unnecessary misunderstanding??”
“If it's a misunderstanding, what are you talking about??”
Oliver asked a question, and the life wizard couldn't answer..
This was too far-fetched.
Whatever it was, Oliver was a person of merit who made a contribution to the Magic Tower in his own way, and he was a savior who received help from the School of Life..
It's that kind of relationship, but if I interrogate it too much, I might get strange looks from other people in the life school..
Even within the Magic Tower, there were forces keeping the Life School in check..
Even if illegal human experiments were revealed, it could be overlooked, but if an affair with a warlock were revealed, it would be quite embarrassing..
That was an act that would be criticized by wizards..
‘Maybe with Paterism…….'
Oliver saw the timing and opened his mouth..
“Sorry, but I think it will be difficult to answer your question. The professor told me not to answer anything outside of work... … . If Professor Kevin gives permission, I will answer it then. Please understand.”
The Life School wizards, who were perplexed, nodded when Oliver first made an excuse for Kevin..
Oliver greeted them again and walked out of the interrogation room..
As soon as he came out, Oliver was greeted by an overly bright and wide hallway and the students of the School of Life walking along it. They glanced at Oliver with emotions such as curiosity, discomfort, suspicion, and discomfort..
Their pride and exclusivity was much higher than that of other schools..
Oliver decided that there was nothing good to be gained from staying too long and hurried out of the Life Science Tower..
The place where the investigation was conducted was not far from the main entrance of the tower, so Oliver was able to get out right away without getting lost..
"By the way, it seems like they keep getting intertwined in a strange way.……."
After coming out, Oliver turned around and muttered as he looked at the misshapen cone-shaped tower that was wide at the bottom and narrowed at the top..
It was a tower from the Life School, and its design was as unique as that of the Elemental School, so I wondered if it had some meaning..
“hmm… … . I'm not sure.”
Oliver took his eyes off the Life Science Tower and looked at his watch..
It was already late, but I thought I could clean up after myself if I went quickly. Oliver went straight to his feet to do his own thing..
***
“ah… … . Thank you all for your hard work.”
In the hallway of the Elemental Tower's magic combat training room, Oliver encountered students who had just finished class..
Like all of Kevin's classes, the [Magic Combat Basics] class was quite intense, so quite a few of the students were in bad shape from sweat and tan. Some of them had bruises..
On the other hand, there were quite a few people who were clean as if they had done nothing..
‘Did they not participate properly in class this time??’
Oliver thought as he looked at the people at the back of the group of students. Most of them were students whose grades were not very good..
"hello. Mr. Zenon.”
Yareli, who was in the lead, accepted Oliver's greeting like a representative. Her training clothes were as tattered as ever..
Oliver expressed his gratitude for the greeting and stepped aside, and several students who were watching passed by and greeted Oliver..
Of course, there were still people like Derek who ignored Oliver, but after Mountain Face, the percentage of people who greeted him increased noticeably, which was quite satisfying..
After all the students passed, Oliver entered the magic combat training room..
Inside the large training room, there was Kevin using his magic power to clean up the room..
"Did you finish the story well??”
Kevin asked without even looking at Oliver. He sensed Oliver's presence through the delicate and vast magical energy radiating from his entire body..
‘Mr. Willes also likes to use that technique. Should I learn it too? Relying only on your eyes may cause problems later. Magic consumption may be a bit of a problem, though........"
Oliver thought about the techniques of Kevin and Willis..
"xenon?”
"Oh, sorry. professor. After thinking about something else for a moment... … . I think it ended without any problems with the Life School..”
"okay?”
“Yes, it hasn't completely erased my doubts, but it has eased them a lot. I don't think there will be any big problems.”
“Right… … . okay.”
Kevin's reaction was simpler than expected..
Oliver's report was accepted and accepted without any doubt..
"Is that the end of the story??”
“yes?”
"You said you had something to talk about after going to Life Science Tower.?”
"Ah, thanks for telling me. Could you please ask if it would be possible for you to leave work early this Friday? It's around 2 or 3 in the afternoon..”
"This Friday?”
"Yes, I have some personal business to attend to..”
“It's fun. I also have work on Friday, so I was planning on leaving work around then. Do whatever you feel like."
“Thank you for your consideration..”
"It wasn't particularly considerate. Anyway, I have work that day too..”
"Still, I am thankful because I am thankful. From now on, I will clean up after myself..”
"it's okay. Because I've already almost finished it... … . Can you answer my question instead??"
"Question? yes please say.”
"I ran into some students on my way out earlier.?”
"Yes, it looks like you taught hard this time too..”
Oliver answered, remembering Derek and Yarely's messed up training clothes..
"Are you curious about something or have something to say to me??”
"Can I talk about that??”
“if i ask.”
“hmm… … . To be honest, your class is great, but I don't think everyone benefits from it..”
Oliver answered, thinking of the relatively clean students..
Kevin, who is as strict as he is passionate, taught students who had outstanding skills or strong will, such as Yarelin and Derek, very diligently, but on the other hand, he relatively neglected students who lacked skills or strong will..
Of course, Oliver didn't dare criticize that. When Oliver taught members of the Joseph family, he focused more on teaching those who were more skilled and strong-willed..
Kevin also nodded as if he was aware of this fact..
"I saw it exactly. It's almost mid-class, and I'm not paying attention to the students..”
"I guess it can't be helped since there are dozens of students..”
"I agree. Moreover, the differences in student levels are also significant. So it's hard to pay attention to everything. However, it makes no sense to put outstanding students on the back burner... … . So what I'm saying is, can you help me??”
"It's me?”
"So, I'm asking if you'd like to help me take care of the students who aren't getting good grades..”
“……is that possible?”
"if i allow.”
