Magical Genius Wizard Episode 525

Magic Engineering Fair (3)

“Therefore, the idling-inducing operating system for the purpose of improving engine efficiency is a gradual... ... .”

“stop.”

A huge auditorium immersed in darkness.

A researcher standing on a small platform illuminated only by a single beam of light shuddered at the stern voice.

He hurriedly raises his head and looks up, but he can’t feel the eyes looking at him from the darkened seats.

There is only a slow movement, sitting with a bored look and staring at this place without a word.

City Government Central Council Senate.

City Hall’s core secretary, where the executives who practically lead the Balkan metropolis are located in one place.

However, they did not feel any fragment of interest or anticipation from those who came directly to the fair.

“Your time is up.”

“Let me tell you one last thing... ... !!”

“Researcher Bachi Truya.”

The researcher raised his head at the soft voice calling his name.

There was an illusion that a faint light in the eyes flashed in the dark audience.

“You have succeeded enough in showing the results of your research so far.”

The voice of an old man, as if gently admonishing him.

“Don’t worry, the funding for your research will be approved without any problems, so please leave now.”

“... ... All right.”

A researcher holding back and lowering his head while trying to say something more.

As the man disappeared behind the podium, others expressed their feelings.

“It looks like garbage.”

“Let’s erase that friend’s lab from the research fund application list.”

Contrary to what was seen from the podium where Vachi Truya was standing, the audience is not actually immersed in darkness.

It’s just that ordinary criminals are not allowed to even look at their faces through some kind of magic and various security magic.

Sitting in comfortable chairs lit by soft lighting, lawmakers were flipping through the catalog of the fair with a drink in hand.

“Even though I gave you 4 years, did you just follow the existing thesis?”

“It’s just a little more improvement in the commercialization results of the Magical Substitution Thesis from Rabatenon University.”

“It means that when research results did not come out, we hurriedly picked an existing hot theme and put our hands on it.”

They didn’t even pretend to listen to the presentation, but they know exactly what the point is.

No, because I was aware of it in the first place, I judged that it was not worth listening to.

“Come to think of it, I heard that the presenter of the thesis that was just cited for the presentation participated in this expo.”

“Thesis on the substitution of horse power and electric power? His name was Evan Bylon.”

“There is a saying that the dean of Garteanon ignored internal procedures and made him the representative of Rabatenon University. It means that you value it that much.”

“I haven’t heard anything about him?”

“You know the personality of the dean, don’t you? I wouldn’t have even said anything to a member of Congress who thought he was not on his side.”

“Then, someone here must have heard the story beforehand. What do you think, Congressman Mayer?”

Not all of the lawmakers on the jury of this fair are senators.

The existence of the heads of the advisory committee and the audit committee or external advisors to help the senators make decisions is also essential.

John Mayer, an elderly man who participated in the fair as a member of the Board of Auditors and a member of the Central Council, was also present.

Mayer made a thoughtful expression for a moment, then shook his head.

“I checked all the money flows and transaction details around the expo. We have secured a suspicious list in advance, but there is no name of Dean Garteanon.”

“Hoo.”

“If it’s just words using personal friendship, there’s nothing I can do on this side.”

Despite the difference in status between the Senate and the House of Representatives, Mayer’s considerable age is a factor that cannot be easily treated as a senator.

Even though Mayer himself became a member of the Central Council at a late age, he quickly made his name and achievements known and took the position of the auditor.

“Well, there’s no way that old woman like a snarky would bother to get caught.”

“Then did you really just leave a semblance of a greeting asking for a good look?”

“You must be quite confident in the thesis that Researcher Bylon submitted. If you are a genius as rumored, it will not be a job to take advantage of the results at this fair.”

“That friend’s first paper has now reached nearly 30,000 citations? It’s an absurd number even for academia as a whole.”

“Hoho, isn’t this the result of relying on Professor Aris Richellen’s talent and reputation?”

“I’m interested, but I’m out of luck. The theme we have to adopt for this fair has already been decided.”

Having said that, the senator turned his gaze to a man in military uniform sitting in the front row of the audience.

“Isn’t that right, Commander Carrasco?”

“... ... .”

“We prepared a lot for this side to appeal the achievements of the technology department under you as much as possible. We will be very sorry if we do not live up to our expectations.”

A strange impression resembling a fish somewhere. No one pays attention to the acrid smoke pouring out of the thick cigar he puts on his lips.

He leisurely looked down at the bottom of the podium and slightly turned his head with one arm draped across the audience.

Carrasco looked back at the lawmakers blankly before answering with a relaxed smile.

“... ... It is enough if we just keep the promises made by the Central Council.”

An attitude close to arrogance towards the powerful in the megacities. But no one points out that posture either.

An air force development project directly planned and organized by the central council of the city government with the idea of replacing the army of the National Guard.

One of the executives in the grand plan, a former National Guard general who is one of the leading veterans and undefeated commanders.

Carrasco was a monster who obtained the rank of commander and general of the Balkan Air Force 2 Corps, which was selected through the project.

One of the key executives of the era that symbolized the strength of the National Guard Army, now buried in time that has completely flowed.

He was now taking part as one of the judges for the demonstration at the fair, bearing the title of Air Force Commander.

Even the wizards who show curiosity toward the spirit held in Lennok’s arms.

“It’s a very cute spirit.”

“It’s rare for a spirit to go through this level of concrete materialization.”

“Nice to meet you. Would it be okay if I shake hands with you?”

[Hmm.]

The wizards politely shook hands with Darby, who stretched out his paws proudly, and turned around as if satisfied.

Darby whispered to Lennok with a hint of satisfaction.

[Wizards outside the city are organisms that know more manners than you think.]

“... ... ”

“Evan Bylon. He was still here.”

A woman in uniform patted Lennok on the shoulder.

It was Fedora who had introduced herself to Lennok earlier as a member of the Defense Forces Technical Bureau.

“Did your presentation go well?”

“so so?”

She looked at the wizards and researchers standing around Lennok with a puzzled expression, then smiled lightly as if she knew it when she saw the engine standing next to her.

“It must have been difficult to change anything drastically in the meantime. Good luck.”

“I’ve been thinking about what you said earlier that the city councilors have a set theme they want.”

“I’ll just go.”

Lennok muttered quietly towards Fedora’s back, ignoring it.

“Technologies Associated with Air Power.”

“... ... !!!”

“Or a study of the flight method that corresponds to it. One of the two, right?”

Looking at Fedora who turned his head, Lennok laughed.

Fedora stared back and forth at Lennok and his engine in disbelief.

There was a distinctly different tension on her face than before.

Not an ignorant person who knows nothing, but a look that seems to be wary of competitors.

That reaction alone showed that Lennok’s guess was close to the correct answer.

Duplication of strange research themes that I felt while walking around the other booths with Dabi.

Internal affairs related to the theme mentioned by Slimane and Fedora.

Through him, it wasn’t long before Lennok realized what the judges were looking for at the fair.

Fedora, who came with a hard face, whispered in a small and fast tone that only Lennok could hear.

“How the hell are you... ... !!”

“Was it a bigger secret than you thought?

“... ... !!”

When Lennok didn’t answer, he immediately raised his magic power and looked like Fedora trying to grab him by the collar.

As a member of the Defense Force’s Technical Bureau, how confident are you in your skills? It is a radical response close to that of a soldier.

The moment when the wizards, startled by the rapidly heating up air, were about to set out to find the source of magic.

“It’s difficult for this kind of commotion to happen yet.”

Parbat!!

Someone standing next to Lennok pointed at the forehead of such a fedora and struck it as if it were a flash war.

The appearance of Fedora, who had passed out without even reacting to the two eyes.

The man who skillfully accepted the body of such a fedora and sat in a waiting seat near the hallway said.

“I’ve created a good atmosphere at best, but I don’t want to be disturbed.”

Standing up with a good-natured smile on his face was a mature man with his dark blond hair swept back.

The other researchers put on a dazed look at the words of the man who had burst into a big laugh next to Lennok until just before.

“No, what are you talking about?”

“The reason we were waiting for our turn for the fair... ... .”

The man did not even look back at the researchers who had just been laughing and talking.

With a light gesture, she straightened her clothes in an instant and swept her hair back.

That alone gives the impression that the man’s impression has completely changed to a heavy and obtuse feeling.

Contrary to the excitement somewhere, his expressionless face calmed down.

The man who touched his collar slowly extended his hand toward Lennok.

A navy blue badge representing the Senate of the Central Council gleamed faintly on the sleeve.

“My name is Conrad Haven.”

The man who naturally grabbed Lennok’s hand and shook it laughed.

“It’s ugly, but it’s an old friend who is in charge of the council.”

“Hey Senator Heyburn... ... !!”

“How can an executive who is said to be the busiest in the Senate get here... ... !!”

A voice came from among the crowd who could not hide their agitation. The aftermath spread like a wave, rippling in all directions a step later.

It wasn’t until Lennok listened carefully to the voice that he realized who it was.

Balkan Municipal Government Central Council Senator.

One of the nobility, by far the top of the powerhouse of this huge city, had come to see Lennok in person.

Even that, while casually mingling with the researcher waiting for the examination and the wizards of the Mage Tower, intentionally raising the mood.

“I’ve heard a lot about you. Shall we go out and talk?”

With a smile on his face, he casually touched the engine once and then pointed to the back of his shoulder.

What followed was of a kind completely beyond Lennok’s expectations or expectations.

“I want to have one last conversation before I erase everything that happened at the fair today.”
