: Why did you do that? (One)

A lab full of blue lights.

The rattling of flasks resounded in the quiet lab.

Among them, a man in a white robe was putting things in the flask and watching the reaction.

I could clearly see the black bubbles rising out of the transparent flask.

Squeak!

A mouse struggled, unable to move properly.

His whole body was paralyzed.

The man lightly sucked the drug from the flask with a dropper, and then carefully administered the drug into the rat's mouth.

It was fine at first, but after a while, the rat started to convulse with a loud noise.

However, without going anywhere, the muscles of the rat quickly dried up, and immediately blew bubbles and died as it was.

Hmm. Even then, there are side effects."

The invention of the century is not an easy task.

On the floor next to the man, dozens of dead rat carcasses were scattered.

"It is difficult to experiment with mice alone. Because it is a fragile creature, it cannot withstand the vitality of the drug."

The man muttered with a tone of regret.

If it had been administered to humans, better results would have been obtained, but it is unfortunate that one recently died.

He was also very greedy and easy to handle, but since it was an early EX model, the side effects were 10 times stronger than now.

It was relieved to some extent by mixing EXS, but it did not last a week.

It is unavoidable.

Still, thanks to the data he left behind, further research is now possible.

His sacrifice will surely be judged by history later, so I hoped he wasn't mourning in the afterlife.

"Would you like to rest a little?"

The man looked a little tired.

I've been concentrating on research without a break for the past few days, so that's good enough.

Well?

Then, the man's pocket rang.

It was a communicator. When I took it out, I saw someone calling me. Upon receiving the call, a familiar voice was heard by the man.

- Doctor.

"What's going on?"

-Ashtar is dead.

" What?

At the sudden news, the expression of the man called Doctor hardened.

"I need an accurate explanation."

- I don't know exactly what the situation is... . It looks like someone is selling our backs.

"That was expected from the beginning."

It is still quiet for now, but if the side effects of apophis gradually appear, eventually people will come to the fore.

Of course, those who saw the forest would applaud, but humans who only looked at a single tree would have cursed Apopis.

But where in the world can there be success without suffering?

Clearly, if we succeed in developing a new drug, all the disparities and inequalities in the world will disappear.

It will be a world where there will be no victims among those who were persecuted for lack of talent.

Equality and happiness.

If we can achieve that, our current sacrifice will be just a speck of dust. When that time comes, I'm sure everyone will pay tribute to everyone involved in the development of Apophis.

But Ashtar's death was unexpected.

He was a powerful fighting nation Kaline, a paid mercenary.

"Let's find out what happened."

-Okay.

The owner of the voice cut off communication.

The doctor's face contorted violently.

Dare, who.

Are you interfering with your business?

Horrible mana rose from the doctor. Mana had a turbid energy.

* * *

Jamie looked at Sophia with her eyes open.

Her brain was now completely engulfed by black mana. It has become a doll that only responds to Jamie's words.

"Tell me your name."

"My name is Mary. Merry Valentine."

"Is Sophia a pseudonym?"

Yeah. This is a forged name."

Those who teach children have been hiding their true selves and pretending to be bright until now.

Doesn't it mean that the way he's been teaching students and how he's treated the teachers around him have all been fakes?

Even on the first day, he saw himself and tried to get an autograph saying he was a popular star.

All of that was a lie.

He couldn't have been a very disgusting person.

I'm not saying this because it's a lie to say that I was a fan.

"Why did you infiltrate the academy?"

"It's because I think children are most likely to express their emotions in the purest way."

"Pure emotions?"

Yeah.

"Why did you try to check that?"

"To embrace children with a purer sense of jealousy and inferiority."

Jamie frowned.

Even after hearing Mary's answer, I didn't understand anything.

So, is it because children are the ones who best express pure emotions, especially jealousy and inferiority, so they infiltrated the academy?

I understood what this meant, but I couldn't figure out why it was needed.

" Why?

"I tried to fill the gaps with the talented by reinventing the children's lack of talent."

"Tell me more precisely."

"This is to overcome the unreasonable situation in which the talented persecute, harass, and ignore the less talented."

"In what way?"

"Through a drug called Apophis."

Jamie frowned at the word 'Apophis'.

It was a name I didn't know, even if I didn't want to. Isn't it a nutritious supplement these days?

A drug that increases concentration and facilitates mana absorption.

I've seen video commercials on giant airships a few times.

Is that a drug that closes the talent gap?

As I thought about it, Anne's words suddenly came to mind.

'I was told that my friend's mana amount had increased dramatically.'

A friend who remained in elementary school until fourteen.

It was definitely Finn, and Finn was here with Anne.

"Tell me who drank apophis at the academy."

Mary gave a list of apophis users she knew, including Finn by name.

Jamie asked, sighing softly.

"What are the side effects?"

"Rupture of the heart and veins due to rapid core amplification. muscle contraction, decreased blood volume ."

In addition, there were all kinds of side effects.

In a word, it meant that humans who were addicted to Apophis would soon be destroyed.

I induced the students to drink it.

Silver's face flashed into Jamie's mind. He started not appearing from one day, and like a lie, he began not to speak in teachers' mouths.

"Did Sensei Silver also have a team with you?"

"We airlifted students on the condition that they receive drugs from us."

"Do you have any drug symptoms?"

"Kipora is included."

'Kipora' is a kind of steroid, and if the wizard ate it, it had the effect of amplifying the core.

Instead, he suffers from terrible poisoning, and if he does not take it again, he suffers from terrible hallucinations and hallucinations.

"Tell everyone involved."

" ."

Say it.

"Shut up!!"

At the command to speak, Mary grabbed her neck and began to complain of anguish.

It looked like it was banned.

expected it There was no way those who committed such heinous things could not have put a ban on silence.

But it didn't work for Jamie.

"What do these bastards think of me?"

Jamie untied the 'Perfect Cell' and hung it on Mary's arm.

Then he placed his hand on her head and continued to erode her brain with black mana, triggering the Perfect Cell.

"Erase the prohibition."

The Perfect Cell is a divine creature with the ability to neutralize all kinds of abnormalities, including curses.

As the vast amount of mana was sucked out, the Perfect Cell began to remove all the gold from Mary's body.

He was trying to eat away the brainwashing that Jamie had put, so while maintaining the black mana as much as possible, the ban disappeared and the Perfect Cell was released.

"Whoa!"

Even though it was only for a brief moment, a drop of sweat was pouring out.

Thanks to this, Mary's beautiful skin was cracked as if it had dried up moisture.

Jamie asked again with the Perfect Cell on his wrist.

"Tell me all the people you know."

" ."

"?"

"??"

"???"

"????"

But Mary said nothing.

He was just tilting his head.

No matter how strong the prohibition, the perfect cell, an absolute immunity artifact created from the hands of Diablo Volfir, neutralizes all curses.

At best, what was hung on Mary was a man-made ban.

However, no taboo was felt from her.

Still not saying... .

"It's not that you don't speak, is it that you can't speak because you don't know?"

Yeah.

" So how did you communicate?"

"I did it with this."

Mary pulled out a communication device from the subspace.

Jamie took the comm and looked at the structure.

All sorts of anti-tracking, unrecording magic, etc.

I tried to cancel all of them, but the crystal ball seemed to break if I forcibly canceled it because of the strong security magic applied.

"Who did you contact with this?"

"Teacher."

" Teacher?

Yeah.

"You don't know the teacher's identity?"

"Never seen."

" Do you know the head of your organization?"

"You are a doctor."

Doctors to teachers, very naughty ones.

Jamie was barely holding back the swearing that seemed to come out of her throat.

"Are you a jerk?"

"I am an officer."

"You're an executive, why don't you know anything?"

"Trinity is made up of several teams. I am the team leader in charge of the magic world."

"You mean, there are more people like you in the world?"

Jamie sighed at Mary's answer that yes.

is a point organization.

Point tissues are very annoying things. Because they were separated, they knew very little about each other.

Normally, if you step on it from the bottom, you have to go up step by step, but the point organization did not do that.

However, there were loopholes in the point organization as it had to share a lot of information in the end. It was very difficult to close the loop, but fortunately Jamie made Mary his slave.

'If you roll this guy a little more, you might find something.'

It's still not certain what kind of organization it is, but if you're doing something like this in the magical world, you should have seen that your back stomach was quite large.

It is certain that at least a high-ranking executive in the magic world was included. It cannot be overlooked that perhaps some or many of the elders are involved.

That makes things very complicated.

'Siegfried .'

He knew Silver was drinking Apophis.

But I didn't think he would be involved. It was a simple reason. It's because he's basically the kind of person who doesn't care about others.

The reason for not having disciples was the same.

'Above all, he probably didn't give me a hint by telling me to investigate it myself.'

The same goes for Lynn.

The reason he didn't take Anne as a disciple was because he lacked magical talent.

There was no way he would be interested in drugs that narrowed the talent gap like Apophis. Especially if it's a drug.

'There is no reason to do that.'

Since he is one of the greatest wizards in the present human race, why would he take such a big risk?

'I need to talk to Siegfried.'

Before that, I asked Mary one more thing.

It was the thing I was curious about the most when I heard the story of Apophis.

"How did you plan to reduce the risk of Apophis? Ultimately, that was the goal."

In magic, equivalent exchange is fundamental.

If you absorb a large amount of mana through core amplification, you will pay a price commensurate with it.

That's why Silver died.

"No matter how much I think about it, it is impossible to reduce the risk of Apophis with the current technology of mankind. okay. Unless a miracle happens... ."

Jamie's eyes were dyed a luscious purple.

Mary's expression remained the same, but her body instinctively began to tremble.

The master's anger was transmitted through black mana.

Mary answered in a dry but strangely trembling voice.

"Demon. They are demons."
