Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 141
chilly weather.
A cool breeze blew through the cracks in the poorly built buildings.
It’s definitely indoors, but it doesn’t feel like indoors. It was a poor environment, but I got used to it.
Natalie was impatient.
It was for that reason that I was looking for places I didn’t have to come on my own feet.
Siha Han, Adelado, and Haeul Youn. Everyone was busy with their work.
Attending academic conferences and going to the lab. Everyone was doing something, but I felt like I was falling behind because I wasn’t the only one doing it.
Natalie was not able to attend the academic conference.
Han Si-hyuk applied for office assistant, but was rejected.
So I did something stupid.
As Han Si-ha said, even though I knew it was a stupid condition, I jumped on it.
It felt much more comfortable to do something than to do nothing.
There were only talented people who would remain in Ardel’s history around Natalie.
No matter how much she ran, Natalie was overworked, fearing that she would not be able to reach them.
I didn’t show it, but I was tired.
Even if you don’t do this.
I’m afraid I’ll turn into a really useless wizard.
Natalie couldn’t let go.
When you are so immersed in thought.
“Natalie.”
Han Si-ha called herself.
Natalie let go of the hard expression on her face.
“yes!”
In the end, Siha Han also applied for the water division process.
From today, we will be working together.
In the first place, most students in the magic department receive it without any strict conditions, so I could be put into the field right away from today.
It’s such a hard job, so most of the time, I want to run away after a few days.
Han Shiha muttered softly as she looked back at the non-stop rotating conveyor belt.
“I feel like I’ve been dragged up and down, this one.”
“I don’t know what it is… Have you ever done anything similar?”
“No, it can’t be.”
Hanshiha shook her head as she looked at the rolling bottle of water with a tickling sound.
“Somehow, I became the image of slaying mice, because I grew up pretty, didn’t I?”
“ah! That’s right!”
Natalie sometimes forgot that Si-Ha Han was from the Castika family.
It’s because he’s kind to the common people without hesitation, he must have grown up without even raising a hand before joining the academy.
Natalie suddenly began to worry.
The process of dividing the water of life is famous for its hard work. Can Si-Ha Han, a former nobleman, survive?
Natalie, who controlled the water, was responsible for drawing water from the life water pump and dividing it into tubs.
Although it requires a lot of magical power by itself, there is a difference between having the ability to handle water and not having it.
Perhaps Hanshiha will be in charge of bringing or carrying the water of life directly.
“uh… I can handle water, so it’s a little easier… Are you okay?”
“it’s okay. I’m good at everything.”
“Also!”
Natalie admired Han Si-ha’s confidence.
Even the professor’s lab, which is said to be more difficult to do, can’t have a hard time transporting talented people from the magic department who come and go.
I heard that Lee Han carried such a thing with one hand. It was clear that Shiha Han, with similar grades, would do the same.
Natalie asked, her eyes twinkling.
“Would you like to eat with one hand?”
“no? Why?”
Hanshiha smiled and recite the words she had picked up somewhere.
“Can’t we just move it to basic Yeomdong?”
It’s basic magic, thanks to scrolls, so it’s a very magical idea, wouldn’t it be easier to move it in a dongdong?
However, Natalie shook her head in surprise.
“It must be a lot heavier than I thought to lift it with telekinesis… ?”
“Wake up!”
Before Natalie could even finish speaking, Han Shi-ha, who had tried to lift the barrel full of life-water with a flame, was perplexed.
“what? Hey, why can’t you hear this?”
Maybe if it was Adela, who lifted up stones that were buried in the ground.
In the beginning, there was no way that Han Si-ha, who was not Yeom-dong’s main major, could easily do it.
Natalie shouted at Han Si-ha, who had a brain arrest.
“Neither can I! Well, that’s not something that comes with a telekinesis!”
“What? Isn’t this?”
“Yeah, didn’t everyone say that?”
“uh… uh… .”
At Natalie’s words, Han Si-ha’s face, who had been resting for a while, hardened.
Wait a minute.
I can’t do this with magic.
“Damn it, am I going to pick it up myself?”
* * *
I thought it was like a lift truck, but it was really a lift truck.
“Ugh!”
While Natalie was working on fetching and distributing the water, I had to fuss and move the bottle of water.
Worst of all, it was bigger than the water bottle I knew.
I was embarrassed by the size that it was too big to hold with both hands.
porridge… kill me
Rumble.
“Aww!”
Afraid to move one, another barrel full of living water rolls in.
Natalie’s work speed was faster than expected, which means that there were a lot of water bottles rolling in.
I came to overturn it when it got hot.
Somehow, I feel like I’ve been tricked.
“Han Shiha! it’s okay?”
“Yes. maybe.”
“Han Shiha… !”
“Damn it, I meant to write a suicide note.”
stagger.
Now I know why Natalie was wandering around like a zombie.
Not even a few people in this spacious factory!
Gobak is scary!
Will you take responsibility if I get sick again due to overwork?
The person in charge, with a frown on his face, kicked his tongue and threw a pint glass.
“Student, this! You don’t have to move this quickly!”
“Sleep, wait a minute.”
“The blue little guy can’t lift anything so fast!”
A talented person in the Department of Magic is moving the bottle of water ‘directly’.
It doesn’t seem like much, but I don’t know if this is true.
dizzy.
“Huh… Ugh.”
My legs trembled at the thought of giving me 10,000 won per day to eat this much.
I wasn’t nervous because it was hard.
I was shivering with heat.
really.
“ah.”
The conveyor belt rotates without a break.
I couldn’t even breathe properly, but I couldn’t help but hear the bottle of water that came rolling in.
“Wow… .”
Although there are still several people moving, the division process is carried out by Natalie alone.
That’s because it’s much more efficient, but Natalie’s split is the same.
Manipulating water is a task that requires considerable mana.
Not only that. As with any magical operation, the basic operation of dividing water is possible only with delicate manipulation and control.
To put it simply, it is not a task that can be done for hours without a break.
There’s no way it’s impossible to just stare at one spot and pour your mind into it for hours.
Natalie looked back at me, who had rested for a moment with a pale face.
“I think I just brought it. Are you really okay?”
“Would you mind not asking me that with a half-dead face? What I want to ask is, hey.”
“… .”
“I go to the dungeon and just beat the monsters, do you think it would be difficult to pay just a little bit of this?”
“It looked very difficult.”
“… I must have been wrong.”
Natalie worries about me, I worry about Natalie.
It’s never good for your health to overwork yourself until you’re exhausted.
I clicked my tongue.
“I’m just telling you just in case, but I don’t do things like you do.”
“yes?”
Natalie was still clumsy in this respect.
He’s kind like sundubu, so he’s the type of person who will only lose money wherever he goes.
Natalie knew nothing of how to live cunningly in the world.
I turned to Natalie and lowered my voice.
“What do you think will happen if a person does a good job?”
“If you can… Isn’t that a good thing!”
“I have a lot of work to do.”
“ah?”
“I do it all for you.”
“… !”
Natalie is a capable wizard.
He seems to think he is not, but he is doing all the work that the three of us would normally do here alone.
That being said, the person in charge of giving the party the same amount is a real raw robber.
anyway.
Natalie needs to know.
“Okay, just one person. If you work for two people, you won’t pay for two people a day.”
“Ugh.”
“and… Search quickly.”
It is the advice of a person who died from overwork, so you can take it with confidence.
Natalie froze as if shocked by my words.
“Yeah, will you?”
“Is that right?”
Oh, and if you work too hard.
I have a lot of things to move!
Tal Tal Tal.
I took a deep breath as I looked back at the bottle of water that was starting to roll again from the other side.
“I’m going to liquidate my karma, so don’t overdo it.”
“yes!”
* * *
In fact, there was only one reason I followed Natalie.
It wasn’t because I was in need of money, of course, I just came to look for the number of cases.
Illegal employment and embezzlement of factories affiliated with the Ardel Empire.
The cubs of Nalgang Province also came to serve as assistants in the newly entered investigation.
It wasn’t in my plan to go through such hardship, but anyway.
Pretending to work hard, I talked to the workers in between.
He also succeeded in obtaining decisive testimony.
In a place like this, there are not just one or two rotten things.
“Are you getting paid properly here?”
“charge per day?”
As soon as I gave the worker next to me a bit of luck, the words flowed out without hesitation.
In charge of catching students like mice on a fictional day, the working environment is not so good.
Even if I pretended to, it looked like a lot had accumulated.
“A student came in today, so I don’t know it well, but it’s easy to eat and drink.”
“Are you eating?”
“Especially as a student, the ones who look young at first glance are easygoing. Last month, some kids didn’t even get half.”
Some say that he even eats away from giving me 10,000 won per day.
Now it was beyond amazing and I was speechless.
“Even if you don’t know, there are rumors that they steal excess money. When I entered the office, I heard that there were gold coins piled up in the safe.”
“Are you stealing money too?”
“Everyone knows it, but it’s a shiver. In the first place, only people I knew were selected. We can’t even make a noise. The person in charge as well as everyone in charge was so energetic.”
The worker seemed to have worked for quite a while at the water plant.
There was so much to know. The worker lowered his voice and added.
“It wasn’t like that before, but the taste changed when the factory owner changed. Last time, they told me to add water to the water of life and eat it. That way there’s a lot of it. Everything sold now is water of life mixed with water. Make sure the potion is made properly, Won.”
“It’s amazing.”
From exploitation of minors to unfair employment, embezzlement, and dilution of the water of life.
It was amazing because the record was so brilliant.
If I go back and report it to Han Si-hyuk, I think I’ll be able to throw it all over here as well.
The investigation will be conducted under the direct control of the Ardel Empire, so it will not be possible to escape.
“Just talk there, don’t move quickly!”
I looked at the person in charge who was yelling with a pole, and then I picked up the bottle of water again.
It only comes out today and quits.
Even if it’s because of the investigation, it’s not something I’ll do twice.
moan
He looked out the dark window and took a deep breath.
1 am in the morning
Up until this point, it’s exhausting to eat, but the work isn’t over yet.
Natalie, who had finished all the previous steps by herself, rested against the wall for a while, probably exhausted.
Originally, three people would have shared the water of life.
There is Natalie, so let one Natalie do it all.
If Natalie stops, the next task will not proceed.
So I can’t catch my breath even for a moment.
“eww… eww… .”
Natalie sat back down with a tired face.
I told him not to change my body too much, but he doesn’t listen to me anyway.
A good boy who can’t even resist.
I couldn’t help but laugh because it was Natalie.
I was watching Natalie from a little distance.
That was then.
“Natalie!”
“yes?”
The man in charge with a wrinkled expression called Natalie nervously.
