Genius Warlock-Episode 361
Matop Kevin's Professor's Lab.
Oliver asked.
“So, are Derek, Felix, and the other students okay??”
“well… … . The magic and vitality were absorbed, the body was weakened, and the magic that had been worked hard to accumulate was destroyed, so it is a bit difficult to say that it is okay.."
Kevin explained what happened during Oliver's visit to Ark Orphanage..
In fact, losing one's accomplishments was a great tragedy for a wizard, so Kevin's reaction could be said to be completely normal..
However, Oliver reacted differently, perhaps because he was not a wizard..
“Still, I'm glad. If your life is safe, shouldn't you just try again??”
At first glance, it sounded like he was just saying something that was someone else's business, but Oliver and Kevin knew that he was sincere..
Probably, if he were in the same situation, he would have said something like that..
Oliver asked, reading Kevin's emotions..
“By any chance, did I make a mistake??”
“No, that's not it. You're not wrong. It's lucky that I survived there... … . But don't say that in front of others. Because your stomach will be complicated.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Well, now tell your story. Yarelli came back alone and said she had gone to see the broker she was dealing with. What did she talk about??”
“We didn't talk about anything that important. He told me how he found out I belonged here, asked if I could continue to be at the Magic Tower, and explained my value..”
"your worth?”
“Yes, you said my value is that of a mid-sized company..”
Oliver said to himself and was embarrassed..
Isn't it? Obviously, he was an orphan who worked in a mine just a few years ago, but now he is a person whose value is equivalent to that of a mid-sized company... … . What can I say, I didn’t feel it..
But Kevin's reaction was different than expected..
“That's an accurate expression. It'll be at that level..”
“do you think so?”
When Oliver asked, Kevin looked like he didn't understand..
“of course. As far as I know, you are the best fixer in this city and you have a wide network.?”
“It's me?”
"Remember last time I told you to get an investment from a fat, horny rich guy??”
Oliver nodded..
For students who wanted to attend the conference held in Lake Village but could not attend due to lack of money, Oliver followed Kevin's advice and went to Edith to ask for her..
Because he was the only fat, lecherous rich man Oliver knew..
“How many people do you think will receive such investment from this magic tower? It's difficult to even meet an average student or a lay wizard, and even if you're a master, you have to put a lot of effort into persuading them. Nevertheless, there are countless cases of failure..”
“hmm… … . Could it be because the money I asked for was relatively small??”
“I know what's funny about rich people?”
“well?”
“You may spend money like water for your own vanity and pleasure, but when it comes to investments, you must be careful about every penny..”
Oliver was silent for a moment because he didn't understand..
“……Do you mean miser??”
"No, it means that investments are not wasted. If I had just spent the small amount of money, I wouldn't have been in that position in the first place. It's difficult to get that much investment..”
“Oh, I see.”
Kevin narrowed his eyes at Oliver's reaction. No matter how I looked at it, it was unnatural..
It felt like something more than just humility..
There is a difference between how the world perceives you and how you perceive yourself, but in Oliver's case, the degree was severe and unique..
Usually, we tend to overestimate ourselves a little more than the world evaluates us, but Oliver was the opposite, and the degree was so extreme that it made no sense..
A level beyond mere humility.
Just as I was about to ask about this, Oliver spoke up..
“Oh, Mr. Yareli, are you okay??”
“what?”
“Mr. Yareli. You came alone because I asked you to, but didn't you get scolded??”
Oliver asked, remembering Yareli's emotional dependence on her grandmother..
I was sorry if I accepted Oliver's request and got scolded for it..
“The child wasn't scolded, so you don't have to worry..”
Suddenly, Merlin appeared from one side of the lab and said:.
Kevin and Oliver turned their heads at his completely unexpected appearance..
kevin said.
“Master… … . There's no need to hide anymore, why did you show up like that again?.”
“Kevin. Haven't I told you this many times? It is said that a teacher has the right to surprise his students by appearing out of nowhere at any time and any place. I was just exercising my rights. Because it's fun.”
Oliver concentrated on his eyes..
Although he couldn't read Merlin's emotions due to the thick wall of magic, Oliver thought he was sincere..
Merlin spoke again..
"Anyway, Yareli wasn't really scolded, so don't worry. I had a lot of work to do so I didn't have time to scold myself..”
“Is that so?”
“okay. Discussing what to do with the School of Life, how to deal with the Black Hand in the future, etc. There was a lot to discuss.”
“Ah, I'm curious about that too. what happened?”
Kevin asked a question.
“There were opinions that the Life School should be disbanded, but the conclusion was reached that those who collaborated with Theodore should be hunted down and authority as a school proposed. Although the issue is serious, the existing values and interests of the life school are too large and complex..”
Oliver read Kevin's feelings of regret and understanding for a moment..
Aside from his resentment towards the Life School, Kevin seemed to rationally understand the situation..
Well, the life school is about medicine, military, etc. I have been active in a variety of fields..
“So, who is going to manage the School of Life now? Even though this incident occurred, it would be difficult to control the huge school if it was maintained without disbanding..”
Indeed, it was a reasonable question..
Those who first spoke of disbanding the School of Life also argued for the disbandment of the School of Life for that reason..
If a school of that size, capital, and technology is left alone, it will soon regain its power. Of course, there are also those who covet the technology of the Life School..
“So I decided to take it on..”
Merlin pointed to himself so naturally..
Oliver and Kevin were both surprised, but the difference was that Kevin was immediately convinced..
“……That's a reasonable choice. If Master goes, he will definitely control it..”
Kevin’s complex yet calm attitude. He put aside his feelings and asked the next question..
“What did you decide to do with the Black Hand??”
“I decided to declare war on the Black Hand Human Flesh Chef faction..”
“Are you talking about war??”
“Yes, something like this has happened to me, but I can't just sit still. It's tricky because it's across the ocean, but it's a better case..”
“why is that so?”
Oliver, who had been listening quietly, asked a question. He seemed like he would be very picky if he was an enemy across the sea..
That's why Crime Firm remained silent even though the auction house was openly attacked..
“Among the fingers, the only one with a clear base is the human meat chef faction. Puppet is a very extensive branch organization, no one knows where the eternal child fans are based, and the Pied Piper just wanders around without a base. Compared to that, the human meat chef is pretty good. 'Cause I'm sure it's inside Gallos.”
Kevin added:.
“Also, he founded a huge criminal empire. Even if it's a waste of what I've accumulated, I won't be able to escape easily... … . Would it still be easy? It is within Landa that the Magic Tower can move freely. Even more so in foreign countries across the sea……."
“So, we are looking for ways to cooperate with Landa City, the Central Council, and the Pater Church. Since this is a serious issue, they will have no choice but to cooperate..”
“That makes sense… … . So, last question. What did this guy decide to do??”
Kevin asked, pointing at Oliver. She asked about Oliver's treatment of the Magic Tower, and Merlin answered this as well..
“There was some noise, but I decided to leave it as a condition... … . Zenon. Can you write a thesis??”
“A thesis? You can write if you want to, but why are you suddenly doing this??”
"It's a bit long to explain, but after reading your thesis, there was talk of having you officially belong to the Magic Tower if it was at a good level. Think of other wizards and students. It doesn't seem completely wrong, so I accepted it..”
Merlin said it was no big deal, but in reality, it was quite a difficult condition..
It wasn't usually difficult to write a thesis at a level acceptable to magic tower wizards..
Hundreds of thousands of papers are published every year, but very few of them are truly recognized for their value..
But Kevin and Oliver didn't react that way..
It was because Kevin believed in Oliver's skills, and because Oliver had no ideas..
Kevin asked a question.
“Is there any material that can be used for a thesis??”
“well? It was too sudden for me too... … . Elderly. Is there any medical technology from the School of Life that restores severed bodies or organs with real blood and flesh rather than golem will??”
An unusual question. Murli and Kevin looked at each other..
"We don't have that level of technology yet. That's an area close to creation..”
“It somehow seems possible. Could I write about that theory in a thesis??”
Merlin and Kevin looked at each other again..
Then Kevin took the paper and pen and placed them in front of Oliver..
"Please explain it to me."
Oliver began to explain as he was told..
The core of Oliver's thesis topic was to use a small amount of flesh and bone from the patient being treated as a nucleus and then add other bones and flesh as materials to create complete limbs and organs..
“We need blood magic's help here..”
said Oliver, drawing a fish tank on a piece of paper..
"Bones and flesh, which become the core, are added to the blood tank containing condensed vitality to activate it, and other blood and flesh are added little by little to reconstruct the organs or body. Although it takes some time and a lot of resources are consumed, it is possible to create an intact body and organs that do not cause rejection..”
Kevin and Merlin thought for a moment after looking at the pictures and tricks Oliver had drawn for explanation..
At first glance, it seemed quite plausible..
“It is understandable to change the properties of the bone and flesh that form the nucleus by mixing slightly different bones and flesh, but how do you plan on doing the precise work of combining two cells? If the blood in the tank is contaminated, it becomes a dried sandfish.?”
Instead of answering, Oliver created a magic circle by spreading magic in the air and then activated Theodore's magic, 'Ptah's Assistant'..
Even at first glance, the mechanical hands made of magical power were very delicate and seemed capable of any complicated work..
“I think it can be done with these hands. It's very delicate..”
Kevin nodded, remembering Theodore who restored his body with this magic..
While trying to change his nature by activating blood and flesh using blood magic, it seemed possible to create a new body by combining cells with Ptas Assistant.
Kevin said after hearing the explanation..
"This is more than enough... … . How did you come up with this idea??”
“I got the idea after reinforcing Lieutenant General Philip's golem's prosthetic arm. Also, he had a personal experiment he wanted to try, and he thought it might be useful here..”
“An experiment I would personally like to try?”
“Yes, I was wondering if we could strengthen the corpse doll in the same way by transplanting cells with powerful genes into it... … . Oh right. Elderly.”
Oliver thought for a moment and then opened his mouth..
“If you don't mind, could I use your study? There is material I need to refer to in the Life Studies section, but I don't think it would be a good idea for me to go there. There were books and papers in the old man's library, and I would like to refer to them. Also, there is something I would like to ask you personally..”
“What I want to ask?”
“Yes, didn't you promise last time??”
