Drug-Eating Genius Mage
Chapter 49

Sometimes an action speaks louder than a thousand words.

It took less than 3 minutes to punish the thief who last knocked on his door after leaving the man’s friends who ran out one after another by the stairs.

Since he set up noise magic before he started using his hands in earnest, there would be no concern that the midday noise would leak to other places.

Lennok asked as he clicked the switch on the cutting machine in his hand.

“What did I just say?”

“He said he would cut off your wrists if you steal one more time!”

It is very impressive to see a man with his limbs pressed close to the ground and shouting out loud.

The murderous intent he had shown towards Lennok a moment ago was nowhere to be found, and thick drops of sweat flowed from his wrinkled forehead.

Like a guy who rolls in the back alleys, he is desperate for top-down clothing.

Yangachi gave up everything from the moment Lennok spewed electricity between his fingers and waited for this time to pass.

Lennok placed his fist under the man’s head, slowly opening his fingers.

“Okay, don’t worry, I’ll cut your wrist and even stop the bleeding myself. okay?”

Pajik…!!

The electric current between his two fingers was applied to the bottom of his chin, and in an instant, the man’s eyes were stained with fear.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to thoroughly carve out the pain here, but… Lennok broke his magic and stood up.

I took too much time than was necessary.

I had to lay down and rest for a while as I had been outside with my already sick body.

After threatening the man one last time, Lennok glared coldly at the man’s scattered friends before entering the studio.

When I spread my mana and looked at the trends outside, I could see the man moving his friends inside the studio while trembling.

Through the door, I heard him muttering blankly.

[Fuck you… a psychic… you got caught wrong… and you’re fucked…]

It looks like he completely misunderstood just seeing him use electric shock, but it wasn’t bad to be misunderstood like that.

Lennok finally let go of his guard and headed to the bathroom.

‘……Should I have been more specific?’

Maybe he reacted too softly to the thief who was trying to rob the house.

While taking a shower, Lennok pondered for a moment, but then shook his head.

I didn’t want to see blood even on the way home, unless it was a situation where I had to fight for my life.

There is a difference between responding decisively to a dispute and being cruel.

Lennok was trying hard to draw a line between the two, but it was inevitable that the wizard’s reason and his sensibilities would often be at odds.

The magician’s talent for doing everything most efficiently and reliably sometimes took precedence over Lennok’s original morality.

Recently, while going through a series of intense battles, he realized that his hands had become brutal without even realizing it.

“…I guess I should move quickly or something.”

I was still contemplating whether I should move my residence to set up a separate laboratory, but my decision became firm.

If you add up the amount received from Panoa and the additional reward, you should still have a decent amount of money.

I felt like I had to replace a decent home soon.

Growing Reputation

“Leave your luggage there.”

“All right.”

“The kitchen is over there, so you’ll have to get the refrigerator out and put it in.”

After the unfortunate incident the other day, Lennok decided to move immediately.

It was because he thought that there was no reason to insist on living in a studio while worrying about needlessly rude neighbors.

District 30. It was a simple two-room apartment complex with only one more room added, but Lennok was satisfied.

In the small park located in front of the house, families go for a walk, and the playground far away is a safe place for young children to play.

Even just listening to the children’s laughter under the setting evening sky made me feel at ease.

Although I know that the peace and rest they enjoy is not Lennok’s.

I know that it’s a long way from when I’ll be caught in his hands.

Still, looking down at it for a moment gave Lennok a strange feeling.

“It is done.”

“You worked hard.”

Even if it is only when he is wearing a half face, there is no reason to be stiff until he moves into the status of Evan Bylon.

Lennok served the movers a glass of drink in moderation, greeted them politely, and sent them back.

“Well then…”

Large white appliances such as refrigerators and large furniture such as desks were arranged first, but the rest of the furniture was left to Lennok.

Especially since I moved to a bigger house and bought things like sofas and TV desks and chairs.

Of course, nothing is impossible with these wobbly arms.

As I spent time in a daze with a cigarette in my mouth, my limbs naturally began to gain strength and become more energetic.

“Shall we try?”

The reason why I moved into a two-room room in the first place was to separate the living space and the research space.

In the meantime, the rewards and magic materials that Lennok has collected through various requests and various memos and notes written down whenever he has a spare time.

And even Eden’s research journal.

Instead of meticulous organization, I focus on dividing the space and sorting things.

After I finished cleaning, it was dark outside the window before I knew it.

“Whoa…..”

Even when I lived in a studio, I could hear all sorts of sounds when I came home late at night.

Dogs barking, shouting, sometimes gunshots, but it wasn’t surprising.

But right now, I haven’t installed the soundproofing magic yet, and the place is absolutely silent.

Lennok didn’t seem to regret moving in just for that.

‘But I can’t neglect my vigilance.’

I continued to move my body, and I quickly got tired, but I shouldn’t forget to set up a barrier around me.

From noise magic and security magic to various traps and notifications to be wary of intrusion.

When I tried to do something I had done once, it was done much faster.

Unlike in the past, now that the understanding of enchantment has deepened, the barrier surrounding Lennok’s house was difficult to replace any flaws even to Lennok himself.

Lennok finally sighed, got out of the shower, and immediately went to bed and went to sleep.

It’s a ceiling that I don’t know again.

How much time has passed since I first escaped the factory and passed the old hotel to here.

how many more things happened

The resolution he made while throwing up at the shabby washbasin did not fade, but he had no choice but to realize that he was different from himself at that time.

“…………”

Change is not a bad thing.

Likewise, Lennok’s changing appearance is not something to be taken badly.

Lennok believed that and poured the sleeping pills into it with a familiar hand.
