Genius Warlock - Genius Warlock chapter 296

296. Mission finished (1)

Arc Orphanage.

According to the file information that Carver gave, the Paladin Joanna was from the Arc orphanage in the Arc region of Gallos.

Abandoned in an orphanage in a cold winter, she grew up there, and although she was a child, she had a bright disposition, consideration, a sense of justice, and excellent physical abilities that made her a child everyone in the orphanage depended on.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Not only the villagers but also the local priests stood out.

The local priest recognized Joanna’s extraordinary qualities and had her take the paladin exam, and when she showed high talent there, she was immediately selected as a paladin candidate.

‘I don’t know what kind of test it is, and I don’t know what kind of training I receive in the denomination. However, it is certain that the Parter Church started donating to the Arc Orphanage thanks to Joanna going to the Paladin Candidate.’

Carver was kind and thoroughly researched the financial statements and photos of the orphanage, as well as the people of the orphanage.

Ark Orphanage, which gained economic leeway thanks to Joanna, not only increased the number of children, but also provided education to the children, helping them to have a legitimate means of livelihood even after they left the orphanage.

‘It is a rare orphanage that is very healthy. Because they provided a means of livelihood rather than raising them like livestock. This is something that the city should see and learn.’

Oliver went through each picture of the orphanage in the file.

People who have nothing to do with you…

Then Carver said.

‘Well, things got worse all of a sudden.’

‘Yes?’

‘Things are getting a little worse thanks to the sudden reduction in donations from the Parterans. As support increased, we increased the number of children and increased education costs, but it is only natural that the support suddenly decreased.’

At the unexpected news, Oliver asks why, but Carver only shrugs.

‘I couldn’t figure that out. It’s private information. However, it can be speculated from a secular point of view.’

‘Guess what?’

‘Yes, reducing money is because there is no reason to give money anymore, or to tame it by making it difficult.’

That was a pretty plausible inference.

There was nothing that could imprison people as peacefully as money.

However, I wondered why Joanna’s neck was suddenly tightened.

After thinking for a while, I remembered the conversation I had with the Elton Paladin in the past.

The paladin who was paired with Joanna.

He explained that the Parterans were a very old and large organization, and argued that sometimes they had to compromise with reality.

Those who do not do so will be broken.

‘Joanna. The child claims that the wizard is conducting terrible human experiments, and after months of insisting on the need for an investigation into this, he has been assigned to another place…’

Paladin Alton clearly said so, and said that this was a kind of relegation.

For those who do not conform to the organization.

Oliver didn’t want to think that way, but he wondered if the reduction in the orphanage’s donations was in the same vein as the downgrade.

‘······ Is it very difficult?’

‘Usually orphanages are very difficult… I’ll do some more research if you’d like. It’s not that difficult to find out what’s going on in an orphanage.’

‘Can you please?’

‘It’s a cheap gift for an informal alliance, of course.’

‘Well then-‘

“Are you going back to work?”

tower. Oliver, who was waiting in front of the professor’s laboratory at the far corner of the Elemental School Tower, returned to reality at the sudden voice and turned his head.

There, Kevin, who had returned from class, was standing there.

Kevin Dunbar, the master of the tower, a professor, and Merlin’s disciple.

It was indeed a long absence, but he did not harbor any displeasure or irritation towards Oliver.

“Yes, Professor. Forgive me for being late.”

Oliver bowed his head politely and said hello.

Kevin looked down at Oliver for a moment, then opened the door to the professor’s lab and told him to follow him in.

“Is the ABC case over?”

When Oliver closed the door, Kevin asked a question, naturally using soundproofing magic.

“Do not misunderstand. I didn’t investigate, the rumors just came into my ears.”

“Rumors?”

“I wonder if there has been a trillion-dollar financial fraud, and I don’t think Matop would have heard of it?”

“ah······.”

“Even more so if that group morale is closely related to the druids and the world tree… Of course, I can’t help but hear stories of warlocks who manipulate the world tree, mix emotions and magical powers, and even extract and use the powers of nature.”

“Ahh······.”

Oliver shouted once more. When I thought about it, it seemed that I was so distracted at that time that I didn’t pay too much attention to the eyes around me.

“sorry······. I think I exaggerated a bit.”

“little?”

Kevin said, reflecting on Oliver’s words. He had a lot of things he wanted to say, so he didn’t say it out loud.

Oliver apologized again.

“sorry.”

“You’re not going to apologize to me… It’s not my business, it’s your business. However, I still thought that it was too much. A powerful force in Landa is a weapon, but it is also a target.”

“I heard from a broker dealing with that.”

“Then, I won’t be able to talk with my mouth hurting any more. You better be careful. There are some people who are interested.”

“Are you serious?”

“It’s not serious. It’s just that rumors have spread and only a few people are interested. At best, they will attack you with the help of wizards and students privately.”

“Ah, that’s good.”

It wasn’t fortunate at all, but Oliver reacted that way.

“Relief?”

“Ah, it’s no different, because I’m going to take a break from work as a solver for a while.”

“Well······. That’s a good idea. If the activity stops, I’ll give you that much mention, and I’ll give you a risk. What are you going to do in the meantime?”

“First of all, I’m going to try my best to work hard for the tower as I’ve been resting for a while.”

“Isn’t it hard to cross the water at the time I used my vacation like this? It’s going to be vacation soon.”

“Are you on vacation?”

“Yeah, vacation. This semester ends soon.”

Oliver didn’t know how to react to the completely unexpected answer.

I knew there was a vacation, but the time has already come. Time seemed to go really fast.

“Then, is there anything I can do?”

“That’s not right. Even during the vacation, I will continue my research.”

“Can I help too?”

“It doesn’t matter, but why do you want to help?”

“I think it will be fun to help you with your research, and I think I will learn a lot. Also, I’m still getting paid, and not doing anything.”

Oliver answered honestly.

In some cases, this could be a bit cheeky, but when Oliver saw the speaker, he thought that Kevin was just Oliver rather than angry.

“Well, okay. Occasionally, I also have a question for you.”

“For me?”

“okay. I wonder if it’s about the Sheamus mission, how the emotional power was mixed, and when did the Druid’s power begin to be used.”

All in all, a question that takes a lot of time.

After thinking about it, Oliver answered the most simple question first.

“As for druid power, I can’t really give you an answer. I just reached out and extracted it without realizing it, because it was extracted.”

“I just tried it, okay?”

“Yes.”

“…I heard that they mimicked Sheamus’ technique, did you just do that?”

“Yeah, exactly the same as Sheamus-sama.”

It was as if he was talking about how difficult it was. It actually meant that.

Because the only thing Oliver did was make a copy of what Sheamus had done, transforming it to fit him.

However, from the listener’s point of view, it was only a shocking response.

“I can’t tell you about the ABC mission because it has to be kept confidential, but if it’s anything else, I’ll write a report and submit it. If you wish.”

“Well······. done. Anyway, I have my job too, so I can’t look at it right now. When Master returns, I will listen to you then.”

“Ah, yes… Hasn’t the old man returned yet?”

“Yeah, it takes more time than I thought. But I’ll be back soon… First of all, go out. We have to evaluate the students in the middle.”

Kevin said as he put the notebook he was wearing around his waist on the desk.

In each class, he self-evaluated the students, and based on this, he checked the class performance, adjusted the class content accordingly, and sometimes re-teached.

The feelings towards the students and the tower are not good, but apart from that, it can be said that the sincerity is excellent.

As he was about to leave after bowing his head so he could work, Kevin suddenly called Oliver to stop him.

“Wait a minute.”

“Yes, Professor?”

“I have so much to tell you, I forgot to tell you this.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Do you remember Felix?”

Oliver nodded.

A member of the Gaia Small School, a student of ＜Basic Battle of Magic＞, he did not have the skills to follow Kevin’s class, so he did basic training with Oliver, and helped Oliver get a sense of just before going on vacation with the Sheamus Gun.

“A few days after you left, my skills skyrocketed and I moved on to my class.”

“Oh, is it?”

“You look a little in a good mood.”

“Achievement is a great joy.”

Oliver spoke frankly, as usual. As I said, the achievement was a great joy.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Not only your own achievements, but also the achievements of others. Wouldn’t it be nice to see the achievements of others and to learn something new for yourself?

A typical example is that Sheamus’ growth helped Oliver’s growth.

Oliver was curious.

“Have you improved a lot?”

“Yeah, my stamina and mana were fine, but my mana control ability always got me stuck, and that was resolved. I was able to use my magic more quickly and flexibly, and my magic linkage improved. As the blockage continued to be cleared, my skills improved so quickly, and my skills improved significantly.”

“That’s nice.”

“But, because of that, strange rumors about you are spreading again. Felix kept her mouth shut, but I’ve seen you around a few times. There are some kids who think you did something.”

Fortunately, Felix seemed to have kept his promise.

After taking care of Felix, Oliver asked him to keep it a secret from everyone except Kevin, no matter what he did.

“By the way, why did you say you came from a desert land in the far east?”

“An old man told me to talk about the East and the desert. So combined. Both are good, so I thought it would be better to combine them.”

“What an amazing way of thinking…. Anyway, because of that, some people will approach it with curiosity. Be quiet.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind. I don’t intend to abuse it, so I’ll just stay as I am told.”

“Okay, then let’s go.”

“there······. If that’s okay with you, can I ask you a question?”

This time Oliver spoke to Kevin.

“what?”

“So, what grades will Felix get?”

Oliver asked about Philex’s performance.

It’s great that Felix got to take Kevin’s class, but there are a lot of students who were already taking Kevin’s class.

“If you keep working like this, you will get a pretty high score on the final exam. Sometimes it’s easier because one guy gives up.”

“You gave up? Who?”

Oliver questioned as he recalled Kevin’s class.

Due to the fact that Kevin is a red person, a lot of people looked at Kevin’s class in a funny way, but they gradually assimilated into Kevin’s unique sincerity and passion, and everyone followed the class diligently regardless of their personal liking.

But, suddenly someone gives up. I didn’t understand.

“Derek Redhill. He must have been blocked by the wall.”
