Genius Warlock-Episode 313
"……oh my god. What did you do?”
Elemental School Tower Temporary Interview Room.
Kevin asked, looking at the coffee cup he was holding..
Oliver, who had made coffee, answered..
“I drank coffee?”
Kevin looked at Oliver in disbelief..
“That you rode it?”
“yes… … . Did I make some mistake??”
Kevin shook his head. Sincerely, not out of consideration.
“No, because the coffee tastes better than I thought..”
“Oh, thank you. I learned it from girls I knew, and after reading the book, I added a few recipes to suit my taste..”
“Amazing... … . There are girls you know and there is such a thing as taste..”
Kevin said sincerely.
I couldn't imagine that Oliver had a personal relationship with the woman, and it was also surprising that he cared about the taste of the coffee..
This guy just eats bread when he's busy..
“I got to know the girls while working, and I also drink coffee sometimes... … . Wouldn’t you like to eat more delicious food if possible??”
more delicious.
It was a very natural and natural desire, but when Oliver said it, it sounded really foreign..
It feels like a wolf or a lion spraying pepper after hunting its prey..
Oliver calmly asked if he knew that or not..
“Do you need anything else??”
Kevin shook his head at Oliver's question..
“doesn't exist. Now go outside and bring in the students on your list one by one..”
Oliver nodded, took the list of lab applicants and walked out of the interview room..
Outside, there was a chair and a desk for Oliver to sit on, and across from them, students could be seen sitting in the seats waiting or standing..
All of them were students attending Magic Tower and were also applicants for Kevin's lab..
The number is about fifteen people..
It seemed like a lot, but he said it wasn't really..
There were many students who applied to the lab to build a career, make connections, improve their skills, or make money..
It was also said that in the case of highly popular professors, three-digit numbers apply at a time..
Compared to that, the number of applicants to Kevin was not that large..
Well, considering that we are red people, we can't necessarily say that it is a small number..
Anyway, Oliver sat down on the chair and called each student on the list one by one..
“Mr. Jim. Are you here??”
***
Wow... … widely.
The fifth applicant opened the interview room door and came out..
His name was Seoji, and he was from the Gaia School..
Before going in, he was confident and prepared by reading the questionnaire, but after just a few minutes, he came out exhausted..
Of course, he pretended to be fine on the outside, but on the inside, emotions like embarrassment, shock, and self-destruction were everywhere, as if he had bruises..
‘It's the same as the previous four people..’
Oliver thought as he watched Seoji walking more weakly than before, and called the next person. He was an unexpected person.
“Mr. Derek. Are you here??”
At Oliver's call, Derek, who had been hiding among the crowd, got up and walked out..
Several applicants who were blocking the path in the narrow hallway were so shocked when they saw Derek's face that they moved out of the way..
Step by step. Step by step. Step by step.
Derek, who was walking confidently with his shoes clicking, stopped in front of Oliver..
“I'm not really surprised?”
“I was surprised when I first saw it.”
Take a seat. After calling the first person, Oliver looked through the list, examining the applicants with a warlock's eye, and found Derek and Felix..
Even so, Felix was a little surprised by Derek's presence..
“I was hiding among the applicants.?”
“Isn't there a list?”
Derek nodded in understanding. Oliver spoke politely to him..
"Just go in. Mr. Derek."
Derek nodded as if he understood and followed Oliver's instructions and entered the interview room..
For some reason, his attitude seemed to have become much softer than when we first met..
widely.
Derek closed the door to the interview room and went inside, and the interview began immediately..
Although he couldn't tell what was being said inside the interview room with the soundproof spell, Oliver was able to get a glimpse of the emotions of the two people in the back interview room through the eyes of a warlock..
Depending on how the warlock's eyes were trained, they could see in all directions, not just in front..
Fortunately, Derek's story didn't seem to go too badly, perhaps thanks to his history of taking Kevin's class once..
The proof was that Derek's feelings continued to be confident, as if Kevin's feelings were not stained by disappointment, but merged with them..
‘Well, he had good grades. His confidence seems to have fully recovered... … . what happened to him?’
Even though Oliver was concentrating on his work, he had doubts..
Fortunately, the research volunteers who were still waiting for their turn talked to each other and satisfied Oliver's curiosity..
“derrick. In the end, was he kicked out by his family? You're supposed to help with the family's business or research.?”
“It's not like I was kicked out. Tuition and dormitory fees are still paid by my family. However, I think it has been reduced except for the essentials..”
“I heard that the Redhill family is having financial difficulties these days. The investment in thermal power generation collapsed.……."
“So, does this mean Derek is finished too??”
“Shhh, watch your mouth. At the last end-of-semester party, Derek went to the arena where the guys who were talking behind his back were and beat them all up. More than ten people alone.”
“They said there were twenty people.?”
“Whether you are 10 or 20 people, be careful what you say to avoid being embarrassed. I think my temper is still the same..”
It seemed like Derek's pride was restored because he reaffirmed his skills. I felt fortunate..
The confidence that you can do something is a good thing..
In addition, Oliver secretly overheard other stories, most of which were about money..
Even though all the applicants here were students..
What should I say… … . If you look closely, the magic tower seemed rich yet poor..
Wow... … widely.
After a while, Derek opened the door and came out of the interview room..
He came out first, confident and confident. Not only his outward appearance, but also his inner heart..
He looked at Oliver, greeted him with his eyes, and left, while Oliver greeted him in the same way and called the next applicant. The next applicant also looked familiar..
“Mr. Felix. Are you here??”
***
The afternoon almost flew by as we finished interviewing the last 18 applicants..
It seemed like the classification of students for the seasonal semester would have to continue until tomorrow..
The schedule wasn't urgent yet, so there was nothing to regret..
Oliver helped Kevin lightly clean up the interview room and pack his bags..
“Thank you for your hard work. professor. I packed all my luggage..”
Oliver said, carrying a bag containing documents on one shoulder..
“great job. Well then, let's go back.”
Oliver moved in step with Kevin's steps..
Oliver asked, seeing through Kevin's emotions..
“Were you very disappointed in the interview??”
“honestly a little.”
Kevin answered naturally.
“Well, it's not very disappointing..”
“You mean Derek and Felix..”
"......How did know?”
“I have good eyesight.”
Kevin nodded, remembering that Oliver was a warlock..
“Yeah, Derek and Felix were okay. At least he read my thesis and knew what I was trying to research... … . At least today wasn't in vain. I thought only idiots applied.”
“Congratulations… … . But may I ask why you are suddenly recruiting researchers? I thought you were planning to do research on your own during vacation..”
“Well, that was the original plan. However, things have changed.”
“The situation?”
“Yes, hiring students results in additional research expenses. Economic support, albeit indirectly… … . Also, you can benefit from lab rankings..”
“ah… … . So is it a good idea to hire a lot of people??”
“That said, we will only hire a minimum number of people. If there are too many, it causes inefficiency and is not good in terms of safety..”
Oliver could vaguely understand what Kevin was saying..
Hiring students in the lab was something that had to be handled more carefully than expected. Not just for research efficiency or financial reasons, but also for safety reasons..
This is because there were quite a few cases where some of the students employed in the lab stole research materials at the instigation of other professors or for personal financial gain..
It was one of the magic tower's backroom business operations, and was recorded in the Lightning Wizard's Diary and Aedrey's Research Diary..
Because excellent magic research was worth it..
When he remembered that fact, Oliver tilted his head..
“Then, wasn't it better not to pick it? Looking at it overall?”
“Not necessarily. Unlike the original plan, I will be taking on work during seasonal semesters, etc., so I need people to do simple tasks in order to produce results on time..”
ah… … . Oliver realized once again that it was because of him that Kevin took on an unplanned semester..
"Well, I'm sorry. professor… … . sorry”
“it's okay. I'm not the type of person who only deals at a loss... … . By any chance, what is the schedule afterward??”
Oliver answered, checking his watch..
“It's currently 3:54. I plan to finish classifying students in the morning until 6pm and then leave work..”
"Is there a schedule after that??”
“Yes, I have personal business starting at 8:30 p.m..”
That wasn't a lie. Recently, I was teaching the fighter crew of Area X again..
Currently, Oliver was teaching the basics of black magic to new fighter crew members, and was providing basic training for training 36 fighter crew executives to become black magicians..
In addition, basic physical training is in progress using a pre-written evaluation sheet, and alphabet study is also in progress for their development, but that is not something Oliver cares about since Joe and Al are helping them..
“From half past eight? Can you ask what's going on??”
Oliver carefully answered Kevin's question..
"It's not a big secret, but it would be difficult to tell if it was a private matter..”
“I've felt this for a long time, but you often hide things about yourself when you ask others about them..”
“Oh, I'm sorry if you feel that way. Because it's not just my job, other people are involved too..”
“I don't understand, but I'm in a position of regret so I'll move on..”
“It's a shame?”
“Do you remember the deal you made with me last time??”
I clearly remembered the deal with Kevin..
Oliver teaches Kevin black magic so he can use the technology to fuse magic and emotions, and Kevin makes a bizarre deal where he answers Oliver's personal questions..
Oliver nodded and Kevin answered..
“Starting today, teach me consistently, even if it’s just for an hour or two. The paperwork isn't urgent yet, so you can take it slowly..”
Oliver looked at his watch. The clock now shows 4 o'clock sharp..
“hmm… … . Then, how about eating dinner a little earlier and doing it right away? I think I'll have time until seven or seven thirty..”
Oliver said without any regard for his break time..
Because it was a time where it was okay to have it and it was okay to not have it..
Kevin welcomed Oliver's more proactive attitude than he expected, even if he didn't show it..
“That's okay though?”
“Yes, if I’m going to do it, I want to do it right. Professor, are you okay??”
“are you okay… … . Well then, I'll get off work right away, have a light meal at the restaurant and then go home.."
“Professor's house?”
“Because that training can't be done in the magic tower..”
“ah……."
Oliver gasped at this very obvious fact..
"Don't worry I have a training room at my house..”
“Do you have a training center at home??”
“I am Professor Magic Tower. I have that much wealth.”
“ah… … . okay.”
“What should you do with training first?.”
“After the test, we will start with simple training..”
Oliver answered calmly, and about an hour later, Oliver forced emotion into Kevin's eyes..
Kevin groaned in pain..
"Biguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck......!"
“Yes, yes. it's okay. it's okay.”
