Qualities of an assistant professor (1)


    “The biggest problem in the process of partial development of the maic field is that it is difficult to arbitrarily apply barrier techniques to images.”


    pk pk.


    A sheet of paper fluttering around in theb without a break. In the meantime, the baby fox hops around and rubs its back.


    “The process of separating the kaleidoscope that projects my image with shielding techniques and reorganizing each area takes too much magical power and mental strength.”


    Lennok ignored the sight of Darby running around and focused on solving the problem in front of him.


    “Considering that the kaleidoscope, which was partially developed naturally in the Hanghasa Labyrinth, moves only whenbined with the ability of the demonic eye, it doesn’t seem impossible to press down with magical power… … .”


    [Is it because the amount of magic power itself is insufficient?]


    In the process of inheriting the memory of the barrier technique through a conversation with Jindun, Lennok inherited the control of the Hanghasa Labyrinth and even received some of its magic power.


    While the remaining magic power was disappearing from Lennok’s body, he assimted some of it into his own and increased the maximum amount of magic power, but it still fell short of the temporary doping state reached at that time.


    “Unless you use Papyrus Argentius, it’s impossible to drastically increase your magic power. The problem is that even if you use papyrus, it is difficult to maintain that state for a long time.”


    Papyrus Argentius, where the control codes for thebyrinth artifacts were stored. Bondi is the highest-level artifact that records and stores high-level spells such as barrier techniques or jinbeop, but it is also possible to simply store the magic itself and take it out for use.


    Lennok knew that using the item in his hands could temporarily increase the amount of mana significantly, but he also understood that it would be difficult to continue the research while maintaining that high level.


    “The best thing is tobine innovative methods or magic forms that can reduce the cost itself, but it’s impossible to know how long this will take… … .”


    I was lost in thought as I scribbled a new boundary line between the pieces of paper.


    Even without being aware of it now, Lennok’s hand was holding the pen and filling therge circle with patterns and figures.


    Sealing technique is a technique that physically draws its appearance in reality and imitates the frame and order arbitrarily.


    Therefore, simply drawing a virtual boundary line on the disy itself is not very helpful.


    Rather, it is more desirable to verify the knowledge that exists in the head one by one by drawing along the gin and patterns directly on paper.


    After returning to the city, Lennok had practiced reenactment of the barrier technique every day without missing a single day.


    [No, even if the master practices like this, the circle won’t be drawn, so the barrier technique won’t work.]


    “No, it’s rather good. After all, in actualbat, I intend to form a barrier by shaping my thoughts into magical powers.”


    While answering, he does not take his eyes off the pen and paper.


    “If you think positively, wouldn’t it be possible to concentrate on practicing to your heart’s content without needlessly manifesting magic?”


    […] … The Master seems to need to study the meaning of the word positive again.]


    “Does it look like that?”


    At Darby’s slightly worried question, Lennokughed and leaned back in his chair.


    “Well, it’s true that I didn’t have enough time to study magic. Also, holding the pen like this reminds me of old memories… … . Memories of a time I can no longer go back to.”


    […] … .]


    The cyber spirit also silently shut up at Lennok’s monologue, as if looking into the distance.


    It was because Darby knew that there was a secret that even the spirit that was born in Lenok’s own hands and had been contemting various secrets at the closest distance to him had not yet known.


    Even the spirits were aware that this sorceress, who seemed to hide nothing and had no secrets, was more mysterious and strange than any human Darby knew.


    It might be that Darby doesn’t bother to remember the names of other humans because he has such a magician as his owner.


    “There is not enough paper. I need to order more.”


    [I already ordered 5000 more from the auction. But the boss of that ce asks in a private message if it is being used for a crime, so how do you answer?]


    “… … Come to think of it, if it’s of this quality, it wouldn’t be strange if it were used as counterfeit money. It must look suspicious.”


    All of the papers piled up here are of the highest quality in terms of texture, durability, and tactile feel, as long as they practice barrier art.


    If it is trimmed and polished a little, it will be worthwhile to use the banknote image oveid. In this megacity, where all sorts of crime are rampant, it’s not just a worry.


    After consulting Darby, Lennok decided to split the paper orderingpany into several parts, and then turned his gaze back to the stack of papers on the workbench.


    “I think I’ll get a feel for it if I follow the partial development of the kaleidoscope I imagined in thebyrinth, but in the end, the demonstration itself is impossible.”


    [Are you saying it’s difficult even with the Master’s magic or artifacts?]


    “We need a facility that can fully store the temporarily augmented magic and elerate it to that state. The problem is that such arge-scale particle elerator facility is difficult to see unless it is a fairlyrge research institute.”


    Lennok shook his head slowly and rose from his seat.


    “You alwayse back with the same worries… … . It’s not even a question that will give you an answer if you sit still, so let’s start with the backlog.”


    Lennok picked one of the messages on his phone, opened it, and picked up his coat.


    “There are ces to stop by to secure research materials.”


    * * *


    External advisor to the agent. Dyke’s management advisor. Cartel’s outside director.


    The wizard of Area 49 who has only seeded in requests of unrealistic difficulty.


    Word spreads little by little that the dog-rein squad has begun to cooperate with the cartel’s leadership in earnest.


    Confirmed answer through the registered director directly under the head office 1 Secret meeting with CEO Virgil. Even the current situation that is not noisy externally.


    Rumors began to circte that Gyeon-roe, who had once refused the position of president, was now ready to be a member of the new president’s team.


    It didn’t take long for the news to set the other bosses’ heavy hips in motion.


    “Virgil!!”


    bang!!


    The president’s office located on the top floor of the headquarters.


    The one who burst through the door of the vast space Virgil upied was a young man with a graceful appearance.


    “Is Virgil avable?”


    “I can hear everything even if I don’t shout loudly.”


    Virgil, who responded expressionlessly, gestured.


    “Sit down and talk.”


    “Whoa… … .”


    The appearance of Ayun, a young man sitting across from the vampire, was quite different from the atmosphere of the city.


    White hair, clearly visible between ck hair.


    Two pupils neatly divided into ck and white. And even a neat suit tailored to such a ck and white appearance.


    His shirt is untied as if he had just been working out, but the strength he feels in his body is amazing.


    Ayun, who drank the hot coffee in front of her like water, frowned.


    “People in this city really like this bitter water. Rather than that, bring a drink or two and see.”


    “I tend not to drink while working.”


    “You’re here, what are you talking about?”


    “… … .”


    Ha-yoon, who casually opened the showcase next to the office and took out the whiskey, opened the lid with one hand and inhaled it.


    “nice… … . It’s good that civilization’s selfishness is good. The taste of alcohol is definitely much cleaner than kangchon.”


    “Stop talking nonsense and listen to the main point.”


    Virgil’s red eyes shone sharply.


    “Unless you want to hear how much the liquor you just drank is worth.”


    “Isn’t it money that I can handle with my sry anyway? Don’t be so angry.”


    Ayun, who gnawed her teeth with a sad expression,ughed.


    “If it wasn’t for my rtionship with my aunt, I wouldn’t have thought of peeling the nogari here.”


    “… … Did you just call the president your aunt?”


    supportive… … !!


    The ss in Virgil’s hand is bent like a piece of paper.


    A strange phenomenon in which the ss is crushed instead of being broken by that tremendous grip. The young man saw it and leaned back.


    “Whoa, calm down… … You know that’s not the case.”


    “I heard that you are the blood of an acquaintance of the chairman, so I gave you convenience, but you better watch your mouth.”


    said Virgil, his face hardened.


    “Ignoring the hierarchical order ording to the organization chart in thepany and undermining the rules is absolutely uneptable even by the president.”


    Rather, the corners of Ayun’s lips began to twist at Virgil’s cold assertion.


    “No, if you’re going to say that… … . Shouldn’t you stop the lower ones from trying to match me?”


    “what?”


    “I’ve been hearing strange storiestely.”


    Ayun cleared her throat and muttered as she averted her gaze.


    “There’s a rumor going around that there’s someone on the board coveting my seat.”


    “… … .”


    “Isn’t that a wonderful thing? It’s not another guy, there’s a guy who came up on the rmendation of the chairman and is aiming for my seat. This all seems to have happened because the water management downstairs was not properly managed, so you should be a little more certain-” “No, you don’t have to


    . It’s not a rumor.”


    “… … what?”


    Virgil answered, looking straight at Ayun, who blinked.


    “It has not been officially decided yet, but it is true that one of the outside directors is interested in bing president. We n to hold a general meeting of shareholders soon to review the agenda.”


    Only then did Ayun understand what Virgil said, and his expression twisted into a stern expression.


    “You’re crazy… … !! That’s why I’m going to give up this position for him right now!!”


    “Are there any problems?”


    “The garage overflows!! I’m the one who came to help you guys because of the president’s rtionship! Isn’t it natural that the 5 presidents from the board of directors or the bastard named Merilda are reced instead of me!!”


    “Except for the president’s agenda, all of Cartel’s work is strictly performance-oriented.”


    Virgil swallowed a smile and leaned back in his chair.


    In order to see this reaction, hadn’t he been constantly leaking information to Ayun’s aides?


    “And among our presidents, you are the third president with the mostck of performance.”


    “this… … .”


    “Do you have any excuses left for the fact that you lived in entertainment without knowing how thepanies you took over work?”


    Virgil stared at Ayun’s shirt with a cold gaze.


    “A shirt soaked in alcohol and drugs. Lipstick on the sole of a shoe. The belt smells like blood. How many people have you killed while enjoying drinking and drugging women?”


    “… … .”


    “Whether I enjoy the pleasures of the Balkans or not, I don’t know… … . For those who do not intend to work, the position of president is an undeserved position. Even the new candidate to rece him is someone who has recently had a reputation as the mostpetent in our organization.”


    Looking at Ayun, who was speechless, Virgil said as if inserting a wedge.


    “To the extent that the chairman tried to put him in the position of president before you did. The seat you’re sitting on right now wouldn’t have gone back to you from the beginning if that friend hadn’t given up on the president’s position. Can you hear me?”


    bang!!


    The table in front of Virgil split in half and sank.


    Ayun, who jumped up from her seat, threw away the huge stone table with one hand.


    “Tell me your name.”


    Ayun muttered, her eyes mixed with murder.


    “Because I’ll show the president right away who’s better, me or that bastard.”


    “Even if you don’t, I will prepare the stage for you, so just wait a little bit.”


    Realizing that the provocation worked perfectly, Virgil twisted the corners of his mouth faintly.


    “Because in front of all the employees, I can show you who is a good fit for the new president.”

    “Assistant Professor Evan!”


    Lennox looked away, adjusting his expression at the sound of someone calling him.


    A female student with impressive bluish hair was looking up at Lennok.


    “Prisci. long time no see.”


    “I was worried because you haven’t been to school for a while… … !”


    She said with a slightly guilty expression.


    “In case you feel ufortable because of what happened the other day… … .”


    “… … .”


    Lennok, who had been listening to her, nodded, remembering thest time he saw her.


    In the process of tracking down Prisci’s friend, he had to deal with the church’s missionary, Walter Martinez.


    In the process, I remember looking for traces heading to Palgoong Fortress, paying annual leave and heading to the fortress.


    Even after dealing with Walter, who was newly turned into an apostle, he continued his research with Aris, but he was unable to return to school after the National Guard incident broke out.


    It was not unusual for Prisci to be concerned about Lennok.


    Lennox smiled and nodded.


    “It’s not just because of the church’s problems. I had a personal business. Thank you for your concern.”


    “But Professor Aris suddenly said that he would take a sabbatical… … . The atmosphere in theb didn’t look too good… … .”


    “hmm… … .”


    Students enter the empty ssroom and listen to the conversation between the two.


    At this rate, you might have toe up with a usible excuse in front of hundreds of people.


    Before that happens, Lennok decided to take drastic measures.


    [Master?]


    He took the Davi out of his arms and ced it on Prisci’s head.


    The other students all eximed in admiration as the chubby fox cub’s stomach was exposed between Prisci’s hair.


    “cute!!”


    “Did you get so fat during that time?”


    “Your assistant professor fed you a lot of delicious food!”


    The female students are shouting exmations and flocking.


    “… … No, that seems to have gotten a little stronger.”


    “What elemental magic… … . Can you win?”


    “You look older than me, aren’t you my brother now?”


    “Dabi was a male?”


    The male students make a puzzled expression.


    [Hmm, enjoying the heat after a long time isn’t bad either.]


    Darby alsoughs with satisfaction as if the praise and attention pouring in after a while is not bad, with a coil on top of Prisci’s head.


    A happy ending that everyone is satisfied with. Lennok smiled proudly, and Prisci looked up at him with a puzzled expression.


    said Lennok, pping lightly to lighten the air.


    “Let’s look around in moderation, then go up when it’s time for the lecture. Today, I’m here to say hello to the new professor… … .”


    Although Aris dered that she would take a sabbatical and returned to the Mage’s Tower, Lennok was still maintaining her position as assistant professor.


    Being affiliated with Rabatenon University, a magical educational institution directly under the city government, no matter how you think about it, there are more losses than benefits.


    Not only does it make his identity as Evan Bylon usible, but he also borrows the name of Ravatenon to ess various documents and data warehouses.


    From Lennok’s point of view, who had to refer to various materials and papers in the process of creating a new magic system, Rabatenon Magic College was a ce he had to use very often.


    However, in order to freely enter and exit the university, he will have to take care of his duties as an assistant professor, which he has been putting off until now.


    At the same time that Aris was on sabbatical, a temporary professor was assigned to teach elemental magic for a year, so he was thinking of showing his face at least.


    ‘Peaceful. It’s like a lie… … .’


    Lennok, who had been silently watching the noisy students from the side, raised his gaze.


    Unlike the scenery outside the rapidly changing city, inside the lecture hall is very peaceful as if time has stopped.


    People talking leisurely and the distant bell ringing faintly.


    The noise of bookshelves being turned over and footsteps echoing in the hallway.


    All the sounds that ring in his earse to Lennok in a very loose and warm way.


    Lennok could understand why the leader of Pandaemonium, the blue-eyed lighthouse keeper, was so desperate to protect this world.


    world in which people live. This time of utmost calm and looseness.


    They knew from the beginning that all of that was a miracle that was established under the groundless belief and conviction that the future exists.


    The hopeless assumption that the next does not exist. The desperate struggle of mortals to break through that barrier and find the next way.


    Only those who know the preciousness of life can prepare for death and open the way to the next.


    That is why they have longed for and longed for the existence of Lenok without a single moment of deviation.


    Because Lennok was one of those people who knew very well that time spent living moment by moment was more precious than anything else.


    “Hey, maybe Evan… … ?”


    While Lennok thought so, he heard a cautious voice from behind.


    A woman with a sharp impression was looking at him with her eyes wide open.


    Gray hair that was familiar somewhere, and a magical pattern that remained in my memory even more vividly than that.


    Someone’s name came out of Lennok’s mouth, frowning.


    “Cassia?”


    “As expected!”


    “… … .”


    With a bright expression on her face, she grabbed Lennok’s hand and shook it vigorously.


    Lennok didn’t expect to see her again here, either.


    Cassia Rubenil.


    A sorcerer talented enough to hold the position of deputy researcher at the Carlyle Institute, which is supported by the city council.


    And isn’t it the wizard who apanied Lennok on the first train heading to the Dominion of Philenom?


    I remember moving to get the necessary ingredients from the Dominion, which is famous for growing rare herbs, and preventing her from being swept away by the drug lord’s n in the middle.


    Lennok, who had reached that point, suddenly turned his head.


    Cassia is a gifted wizard, but not enough to take over Aris’s ce as a professor.


    That she is here is probably… … .


    “I didn’t know you were still working as an assistant professor.”


    A sharp-looking middle-aged woman who walked into the ssroom at the very end stared at Lennok with a sharp gaze.


    “What’s going on in my ssroom?”


    The director of the Carlyle Lab and an acquaintance of Aris.


    It was Ba, the head of the research institute, who temporarily assumed the position of professor in ce of Aris.


    But Lennok muttered as if he remembered something, despite Va’s sharp eyes.


    boratory?”


    A superrge particle elerator facility that cannot exist unless it is a fairlyrge research institute.


    The very method of using the facility was walking in front of Lennok’s eyes.
