As he left the room, before he even had time to consider what thesis he should write, a hurried voice caught Se-un.

“Oh, you’re out! I heard! You’re aiming to be a Sage!”

“How did you hear that?”

“Hehe, it’s simple! With Silaffe’s help, soundproofing magic is a piece of cake!”

Silaffe. It was the name of an intermediate wind spirit.

He remembered that the old man’s main spirit wasn’t wind, but he must be a highly skilled spiritist despite his appearance.

However, judging from his reaction, it seemed he hadn’t heard everything Se-un had said.

Like the black root, for example.

Even with Silaffe’s power, he must have only heard a few words here and there.

“Then, won’t you come to my room!”

“By room, do you mean your lab?”

“That’s right! If you’re aiming to be a Sage, you’ll need to write a thesis. Among the spirit research facilities in El-Abreu, I dare say my room is the best!”

It was quite a tempting offer.

Unless one rises to the position of Great Sage, members of El-Abreu aren’t given their own private lab.

He had been thinking of returning to his residence to conduct research and write his thesis, but the old man’s lab was perfectly optimized for research.

‘Even though he looks like that, he’s close to being the best when it comes to spirits.’

The old man wasn’t a Great Sage, but he was close enough to one.

He simply had no interest in the position of Great Sage and preferred research and exploration itself rather than writing theses, which was why he remained a Sage.

‘It’ll be fine.’

Probably, the old man was planning to make Se-un his assistant and thoroughly investigate the Spirit of Fear.

However, Se-un had no intention of becoming his research subject.

After entering his lab, he would use it to its fullest until he became a Sage and was given his own private lab.

With that thought in mind, Se-un smiled, pulling up the corners of his mouth.

“I will.”

“You’ve made a great decision! Come this way quickly!”

The old man grabbed Se-un’s hand and led the way.

* * *

“Come in quickly! If you’re a spiritist, you’ll immediately notice the difference in our lab!”

“Spirit energy…….”

“As expected, you noticed right away! I’ve filled the lab with spirit energy and blocked it from escaping as much as possible. You can maintain spirit summoning 24 hours a day as long as you don’t do certain actions!”

Se-un’s spirit energy wasn’t very high. Unlike mana or internal energy, spirit energy was a talent determined innately.

Before his regression, he couldn’t even see spirits, and he was able to meet Turiek thanks to Riel’s help.

Even the first time he encountered Turiek, Turiek was more interested in Ruin than Se-un and proceeded with the contract, proving how little connection Se-un had with spirits.

For Se-un to feel this much spirit energy….

If Riel were to come here, she would have widened her eyes.

Of course, at that time, the people, including the old man, would be more surprised by Riel’s power first.

“Professor Le Louvreton! Where have you been! The experiment was in progress, and you suddenly disappeared like that… Oh? Who’s that?”

“Hehe, say hello. This is our new family member!”

So the old man’s name was Le Louvreton?

Before Se-un’s regression, everyone called him ‘Old Man,’ ‘Geezer,’ or ‘Old Geezer,’ so he was hearing his exact name for the first time.

At least the words mentioned above were the most euphemistic ones, and most of them were mostly curse words.

He would rush in without distinguishing anything when it came to spirits, and he would be indifferent to even important matters if they weren’t related to spirits.

However.

“I’m Se-un.”

“Ah, ah…….”

The reaction of the person who seemed to be his assistant was strange. Rather than welcoming him, he had a pitiful expression as if asking why he had come here.

His right hand was extended forward for a handshake, but his left hand seemed to be desperately stopping Se-un.

It seemed he was recognizing Se-un as a new assistant thanks to the introduction as family…….

‘Well, does it matter?’

Se-un didn’t care how he was treated in the lab, so he confidently shook hands with him.

Se-un was merely using the lab as an invited guest and writing his thesis.

“This is Dan. He has a contract with an intermediate spirit and is a very useful material… no, a capable assistant.”

“I’m Dan…….”

“And over there. Sen! Sen!”

“…….”

“Ahem, he seems to be sleeping. He’s the newest one and handles mental spirits just like you. He’s an assistant I worked hard to recruit.”

“Rather than working hard, Professor, you semi-forced him…….”

“Dan, did the experiment go well?”

“I somehow managed to finish it…….”

For the lab of the best spiritist in El-Abreu, the number of assistants wasn’t very large.

Well, even in El-Abreu, the number of spiritists in the tower itself wasn’t very large.

‘The treatment doesn’t seem very good either.’

Just by looking at the dark circles hanging under the eyes of the assistants Dan and Sen and their rough skin, he could roughly guess the reason.

The old man naturally continued the conversation after introducing the assistants.

“Then next is.”

“Yes, I’ll introduce the lab…….”

“Bring out the Spirit of Fear right away!”

“Yes?”

“We need to check the spirit of the person who will become our family member in advance! You’ll gradually get to know the lab! Ah, summon it over there!”

“Professor, that’s the lab…….”

“Hurry in! Hehe!”

Le Louvreton revealed his true colors. This was the reason he invited Se-un in the first place.

It wasn’t a formal contract, but Se-un had tacitly agreed to show Turiek in exchange for being allowed to use the lab, so he didn’t particularly refuse.

As he entered the lab, he felt the spirit energy that he had felt outside even more strongly.

“Turiek.”

“– Yeah! Wow, I love it here! It feels similar to the spirit realm!”

“Oh, Spirit of Fear!”

“– Ah, this grandpa! I really don’t like him!”

“His ego is mature, and he’s skilled at conversation! It’s amazing!”

As soon as Turiek was summoned, he compared the spirit energy of the lab to the spirit realm.

To be similar to the spirit realm. As expected, the old man was amazing despite his appearance.

The assistant who had come out to greet the old man didn’t know that Turiek had this much power, and he was surprised with his mouth wide open.

And while the old man was about to start observing in earnest, the door of the lab, which had been closed, opened with a thud, and the assistant named Sen, who had been dozing off in his chair, came in.

In a half-asleep state.

It felt like he had been dragged by someone, and the identity of ‘someone’ was quickly revealed.

“– Turiek-nim.”

“– Oh? Merlo!”

A small spirit covering his eyes with his bangs came out from Sen’s side and bowed to Turiek.

‘Ah, he said they were spirits from the same spirit realm.’

Recently, Turiek had been expanding his territory in the center of the spirit realm as he grew.

The spirits that entered Turiek’s territory naturally followed Turiek.

It seemed that the spirit named Merlo was also one of the spirits that had entered Turiek’s territory.

“– Merlo, I haven’t seen you much lately, so you were here!”

“– Yes.”

“Oh, oh! The Spirit of Sorrow came first and bowed! Is there a hierarchy even among mental spirits! Sen, Sen! Wake up quickly!”

“…….”

“Sen!”

Slap!

“Ugh, uh? Professor?”

“Don’t you feel anything? Emotions felt through the spirit, like submission or respect! Concentrate quickly!”

“Yes, yes…….”

Sen, who woke up from his sleep after being slapped on the cheek, quickly concentrated on the spirit according to the old man’s words.

By the way, he doesn’t have any special reaction even after being slapped on the cheek.

Judging from the reaction of the other assistant next to him, it seems that this is not a special situation.

I felt sorry for the assistants here again.

‘Well, the treatment of assistants in El-Abreu wasn’t very good…….’

It varied from Sage to Sage, but most Sages had eccentric personalities.

Players who had grown enough to reach a certain level in their respective fields had their own stubbornness.

He had to bow his head and learn knowledge under them, so… the life of a Sage’s assistant in El-Abreu was nothing short of an extreme job.

‘But once you become a Sage, the treatment changes.’

It’s not just the treatment that changes.

By exploring the numerous knowledge that exists in El-Abreu, you also learn how to handle power and acquire ways to increase power.

As a result, your power naturally becomes stronger, and especially if you use the knowledge of the Great Library, you can easily pass the subsequent trials.

Therefore, the members here endure their assistant life and strive to become Sages.

“Oh, the emotions are too diverse. The primal emotion is surrender… submission? No. It feels like fear itself.”

“As expected, it’s the Spirit of Fear! Well, if it’s the nature of fear, it’s a suitable power to handle lower spirits, even if it’s coercive!”

“But it’s different after that. Emotions like respect or loyalty, which originated from fear, are covering the top.”

“Oh, amazing! Is that an emotion that was added later? Ah, by any chance! How long have you been contracted with the Spirit of Fear?”

While Turiek was talking to the spirit named Merlo, the old man asked Se-un various questions based on the information he obtained from his conversation with Sen.

It was a bit annoying, but Se-un was also able to acquire various information through the conversation.

‘Come to think of it, the spirits I saw at the Round Table also showed a similar reaction to Turiek.’

The Spirit of Truth and Lies.

Through their reactions and the reaction of Merlo, who is now in front of him, he could see Turiek’s position.

He was so timid when we first met, but now he has completely abandoned his timidity and is learning leadership as a leader.

“It’s really amazing! There’s almost nothing known about the unaffiliated spirits except for the Four Great Spirits, but such a system was being formed there!”

“I-Is it amazing? Professor?”

“Of course! How did you make a contract with Merlo?”

“It was a coincidence. I was sad because I was kicked out of the guild…….”

“Sen, didn’t you say you were drinking and crying all day at that time?”

“Anyway! I felt a tickling feeling while I was sad, so I unfolded a summoning circle just in case, and Merlo came out.”

“That’s right! Until now, the only way to summon unaffiliated spirits was to accidentally express the corresponding emotion or attribute. Even that was impossible with artificial methods!”

“Then…….”

“If we know the ecology of unaffiliated spirits, we might be able to execute the process artificially!”

“Oh!”

“Just like the standard methods of contracting with the Four Great Spirits now, we might be able to create a summoning circle to contract with unaffiliated spirits!”

The two assistants in front of the old man were amazed with their mouths open.

This was a utilization that Se-un had not even thought of.

Se-un, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, realized how valuable the information they were able to obtain from the short conversation about Turiek and Merlo was.

And valuable information requires a corresponding price.

“Can I use this as my first thesis topic?”

Se-un’s first thesis topic has been decided.
