Drug-Eating Genius Mage

“This is Evan Bylon, who will be working with me in my lab starting today.”

late afternoon. Dense sunlight pouring through the window.

A resounding female voice resounds in a lecture hall full of people.

Lennok scratched his face in silence as he received countless stares.

To be honest, the eyes of the students sitting in the classroom… didn’t feel very favourable.

Aris continued to speak with a calm complexion, whether or not she knew the atmosphere of the classroom.

“Evan has considerable achievements in the field of magic theory and has very good qualities in theory. Basically, I help with research in my lab, but sometimes I can call in to lectures and get help, so I’ll introduce you in advance.”

“Nice to meet you all.”

As I greeted them with a faint smile, I heard small greetings from a few people sitting in the front row.

Most of the other students stared at him openly, either frowning or not seeming interested in him at all.

It wasn’t that he didn’t anticipate this situation from the moment he decided to come into her lab, so Lennok’s expression was unconcerned.

When Aris winked at Lennok, Lennok lowered his head slightly and immediately left the classroom.

“Then let’s start class today. As explained in the previous lecture, the key to linking magical powers that make up water-based magic is…” Leaving

Aris’ voice faintly audible through the door behind, Lennok raised his hand and touched his face.

The disguise magic was still working smoothly.

Although he unintentionally showed Lennok’s real face to Aris, there is no reason why he should do the same to other students at the university.

A student bumping into him on the street recognizes Lennok’s original face? Just imagining it would have been terrifying.

So Lennok added the excuse that he had a disguise artifact in moderation, asked Aris for his understanding, and changed his face to Evan Bylon’s.

don’t ask for much It was enough to properly separate his status here and Lennok’s position.

I slowly lifted my head and took in the wide hallway.

Rabatenon University.

A magic university that I had only heard of. It was the first day he set foot in an educational institution designed to train wizards.

It is said that the city government invests funds directly and manages it continuously, and indeed the facility is impeccable.

Clean marble and ornate chandeliers. A thick carpet that softly supports shoes and a hallway that warms up even in the approaching winter weather.

Everything from the refreshing scent to the tip of the nose is an impeccable high-end facility.

At this level, it is so luxurious that it is not far behind the office of Panoa, who is in charge of the planning team at Dyke.

‘I’ll have to go back to the lab for now.’

Aris’s lab occupies an entire two-story building that is different from the lecture hall.

I checked it for a while when I first came here, but it was full of equipment and books that Lennok had never seen before, so I thought it would be enough to spend time alone.

No, rather, the moment I was about to move my steps while thinking that it would be nice if Aris’ lecture ended late.

Fain!

Someone walked from the back of the hallway and fired a sharp bolt of magic into Lennok’s back.

Archwood

wedges!

“……”

It was too sharp to be a coincidence, a bit light to be an attack, and quite heavy to be a provocation.

A blatant condensation of magical power that shows the intention to overtly suppress the opponent’s capabilities rather than trying to gauge them.

It’s flimsy enough that Lennok could grab that hair and flip it right now.

‘What should I do…’

During the short time when the magic body flew in, there were more than seven ways to deal with it that came to mind right away.

It doesn’t seem difficult to hold down the opponent who threw this trick right before he dies, but if that’s the case, the reward of entering college after a long time will be lost.

At least where Aris’ eyes reach, I had to play a researcher who was only moderately knowledgeable in theory.

Lennok’s head spun rapidly and found the optimal number to feed the opponent with candy in an instant.

‘This should do.’

Coincidentally, while pretending to slightly turn her head, she twisted her mana to slightly change the direction of the aggregate.

The operation of mana is so secret that no one will notice.

With only a brief touch, the agglomerate can so easily escape the caster’s control and shoot straight into the ceiling.

Clink!!

The luxurious chandelier hanging from the ceiling is completely smashed.

The loud noise echoing in the middle of the hallway quickly turns the classroom into an uproar after Lennok closes the door.

As soon as the door opened and Aris strode out, Lennok turned his head and made a surprised expression.

“Evan. What is this?”

Aris, who checked the broken chandelier in the hallway, slightly frowned her blue eyes, when she heard a languid voice behind her.

“You made a mistake adjusting your magic power.”

It was a tall-looking young man with his hair swept to one side who walked this way with the sound of his shoes.

Even though he has a sharp jawline and thick eyebrows, the smile on his lips is extremely soft, making his impression itself look good.

He smiled kindly at Aris and lowered his head slightly.

“professor. Long time no see.”

However, Aris did not respond to his greeting and immediately asked.

“Archwood. What does it mean that you made a mistake in mana control? I would like an explanation as to why the chandelier is smashed right next to my researcher.”

Now, it seems that Aris reacted sharply not just because the class was interrupted.

Despite Alice’s cold words, the man called Archwood skillfully managed his expression and spoke.

“It looks like that person accidentally recoiled while assembling magic alone in the hallway. Magic energy jumped out of my hand and suddenly it headed towards the sky.”

“………”

Lennok looked at Archwood with an absurd expression on his face as he calmly lied without spitting on his lips, but instead he even smiled slightly at Lennok.

It’s the first time I’ve seen it, but I can guess the spirit and the demon to some extent.

In spite of what he had hoped for, Archwood had come up with the most efficient way to embarrass Lennok in front of Aris and the many students who were now watching him from inside the classroom.

Lennok, who broke the chandelier, would be branded as a careless researcher who uses magic in the hallway and a cunning man who can’t even handle his magic properly.

It’s pretty obvious how the already less-than-favorable students will view Lennok.

‘It’s a little fun, but.’

I’ve experienced this kind of territorialism not once or twice, but it’s the first time I’ve ever tried to fuck Lennok in such an open, yet deliberate way.

Did you say Archwood?

If Lennok was really an ordinary person with no magical powers or abilities, he would have no choice but to fall for his tricks.

But he was completely unaware that even this situation had Lennok in mind.

As proof of that, Archwood now realizes that Aris’s gaze toward him contained a faint feeling of contempt.

His expression, which was wearing a mask of a soft smile, shakes slightly.

“……professor?”

“Let me ask you again. Are you saying this happened because Evan made a mistake while using his magic power?”

“Yes, but…”

A face that could not guess what was wrong while answering.

Rather, it is more strange to find out why this situation has flowed this far.

How could Aris know that a researcher who was competent enough to scout directly into the lab couldn’t use magic at all unless he heard in advance?

And that’s why… The contrast between Archwood’s calm expression and lies makes it all the more hateful.

Alice’s lips opened slowly as she looked up at Archwood with a completely chilled expression.

“Archwood. I won’t let you touch my researcher like this one more time. Got it?”

“……..”

“I thought you would feel sorry for not being able to come into my lab, but to be able to take out your anger in such a petty way… I was completely wrong about you.”

Regrettably, Archwood was not a fool, though he had a bad personality.

In any case, he recognized that the lie was detected, and even in the midst of it, he knew how to take advantage of it, not pride.

“…..sorry.”

The students who were watching him in the classroom were buzzing at the sight of Archwood lowering his head without hesitation, but Lennok knew that his judgment was correct.

The reputation of the students and Lennok, who had just entered the lab, would have a fatal effect, but it wouldn’t be the same for that man.

The only thing that matters to Archwood right now is to deal with this difficult situation somehow.

However, Aris also did not accept his apology easily, probably because he clearly read his intentions.

“If this happens again, I will send a letter to your family and the Mage Tower to get a definite answer.”

With a completely changed tone, she said as if glaring at Archwood.

“Go if you understand what I mean.”

Instead of answering, he lowered his head once more and straightened his back in silence.

In the process, he didn’t forget to cast a glance at Lennok.

Instead of avoiding that blatant look, Lennok just smiled once in a while.

Just like he did when he first saw Lennok.

“………”

It is clearly visible that Archwood, who has been playing his composure well, has a little blood rising on his forehead.

However, he did not forget that Aris was staring at him right next to him.

Looking at the back of Archwood, who meekly turned her back and disappeared across the hallway, Aris closed the door to the classroom abruptly.

thud!

As soon as she was free from the eyes of the students, Aris turned her head and said.

“Lenok.”

Of course, he had already told her Lennok’s original name.

Without doing so, it was impossible to reveal the pseudonym and fake identity of Evan Bylon and seek cooperation.

It was easy to confuse him, but like an excellent wizard, she neatly distinguished the two names and treated him.

“Yes Professor.”

“This isn’t just because of your bad luck. As you might have guessed, Archwood did it on purpose and with a grudge. To think that he would commit such a thing and shamelessly pass the blame on…” “

………”

Aris continued with a troubled face.

“sorry. Of course, just saying this won’t actually make things better. I will quickly talk to the administration and come up with a plan somehow.”

Fortunately, Aris didn’t seem naive enough to believe that a person could be corrected or admonished with just a few words.

He knew very well that it was highly unlikely that someone like Archwood would change his course or not play tricks on Lennok.

Lennox nodded with a calm expression.

It would not be a lie if she said that she would arrange a plan herself. Besides, what was happening now was not completely incomprehensible.

Aris Richellen is a wizard who is talented and talented enough to reach the high rank of 6th level at a young age, and also has a great background as Sinclair Magic Tower, and she is also an outstanding beauty herself.

If you were a university student in Labatennon, the intangible benefits you would gain just by belonging to her lab must be considerable.

“In school, move where I can see you, and when you go outside, make sure to change your face so that you can move.”

“All right.”

At Lennok’s answer, Aris finally nodded with a calmer face.

Her expression as she brushed her bright golden hair looked a little more tired than before.

“Sooner or later, I’ll get an artifact that I can use for self-defense. I don’t want to hurt the researcher I’ve been working on just because of this.”

Her words clearly show her mindset. If that’s enough, you can believe it.

At least, Aris had never forced Lennok to take a unilateral loss or position.

Lennok dissuaded Aris from going back to the lab and left the lecture hall.

“…….”

Numerous gazes bloom behind his back as he turns around.

You can tell even if you don’t see it.

Curiosity, vigilance, jealousy, negligence….

It’s been a long time since I came to this world, and it’s been a long time since I’ve received a cold gaze.

If the fact that Lennok can’t use magical power spreads, it will be more than this.

But it doesn’t matter. I didn’t accept her offer to feel the fresh atmosphere of the university.

However, there would be no reason to put up with the opponent who pushed his teeth into him first.

Sensing Archwood’s gaze among hundreds of students walking around the school beyond the academy where the cold wind blew, Lennok smiled faintly.

‘He probably thinks that it’s fine if he doesn’t get noticed by Aris.’

It was obvious, but fortunately.

If Lennok was the only one thinking that way, things would be much more difficult.
