298 – KIDDING (1)
About three hours have passed.
About 10 people, including Taylor, appeared where Theo and his group were.
After Taylor checked the scene, he was quite embarrassed.
Hana Taylor soon came to her senses and began to skillfully clean up the scene.
He recovered the severed limbs of the Light Acolytes and sealed the entrance to the Great Demon Shrine to prevent demonic energy from leaking out.
Taylor smiled and said to Theo, as if putting out a fire in a hurry.
“I expected something would happen this time too, but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent. As expected, Theo shows us more than we can imagine.”
Theo smiled slightly and responded.
“That’s right. This time I was very surprised too. “Anyway, I didn’t know that Taylor would come in person.”
I was curious.
Generally, Taylor stays within the academy. Unless he uses magic like [Teleportation], It is impossible for him to get from the academy to here in three hours.
‘Could it be that that guy uses [Teleportation]?’
Although it was an extremely unrealistic guess, I thought, ‘What if it’s Taylor?’
He is also the person who created the imitation elixir that did not appear in this work.
Taylor opened his mouth.
“hahahahaha, I’m guessing you’re wondering how you got here so quickly.”
“Yes.”
“It’s simple. “I was staying in a village not far away.”
“······Ah.”
Taylor laughed cheerfully.
“hahahahaha, maybe I should have used [Teleport]. Ugh, I don’t have that level of ability. “I just had a feeling something was going to happen.”
“I didn’t know you had such good senses.”
“It’s hard to even see it as a good thing. What happened to Theo so far is something that a normal person would not be able to experience even once in their lifetime. In a way, I learned it through experience.”
Without realizing it, Theo made a dumbfounded expression.
Taylor smiled happily and asked his companions.
“Did you properly restrain the five people whose limbs were cut off?”
The companions nodded and pointed to the luggage compartment of the large carriage they had ridden.
Taylor checked the luggage compartment of the large carriage. There, five practitioners of light with gags over their mouths were carefully tied up with magic seals.
────!
Although the practitioners of light had their limbs cut off, they still showed their ferocity. Of course, because of the gag in their mouths, their cries were limited to silent shouts.
Taylor said to his companions.
“Good job. Thank you all for your hard work. “I will arrange for a separate carriage for you, so please hop on it and return.”
─I understand.
Taylor said to Theo.
“It seems to have been completed to some extent. Then, Theo. Where is your next destination?”
Theo answered without delay.
“First of all, I would like you to return to Ellinia Academy.”
Currently, there are two top priorities.
First, we need to attach Fiat’s left leg, and second, we need to find a way to return the Light Acolytes to their original state.
The first one is not difficult.
Theo plans to attach an [Alternative body] To Fiat like Oswald. [Replacement Body] Taylor is managing the personnel capable of performing the surgery, and they are currently living within the academy.
Second, I plan to seek advice from Saint Isabella.
If it were her, she would have some knowledge about the true nature of the Light Acolyte. Although it is her vacation period, she is staying inside the student council room.
Taylor said.
“Then let’s ride together.”
Taylor asked Theo’s group.
“Are you and your group going to Ellinia Academy?”
When everyone agreed, Taylor got on the carriage.
Theo and his party followed him and boarded the carriage.
Taylor said to the driver.
“Please arrange for one more carriage. Those who came with us will ride it and return.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Rattling, rattling─
Soon after, the carriage departed.
“······.”
Unlike P.L., Sienna, and Jang Woo-hee who chatted, Fiat said nothing. I just occasionally glance at Taylor and Theo.
Taylor asked after feeling her gaze.
“hahahahaha. “Have you got something on my face, Ms. Fiat?”
Fiat was famous throughout the continent, so of course Taylor knew about it.
Fiat shook his head.
“No. “He seems to be close to Theo Lin Walderk, and the work done was noticeably clean, so it could have been done by someone else.”
Taylor smiled and bowed his head gracefully.
“hahahahaha. I don’t know what to do with the Black Panther of the Empire looking at me like that. My name is Taylor, and I am the deputy director of Ellinia Academy of the healer guild [The Hilte]. He is also Theo’s supporter.”
“It’s a pretty interesting sponsorship method.”
“Ah, I was very surprised this time too. But what can you do? “The greatest virtue of a sponsor is to help by any means necessary.”
Theo, who was practicing Ki, opened her eyes.
Theo said to Taylor.
“Ah, Mr. Taylor. Now that I think about it, the effect of the Imitation Elixir has been greatly reduced. “When I used it recently, it was about half of the original effect.”
“Hmm, it’s probably because you’ve been abusing it recently. If you take any drug, you are bound to develop resistance, so you have to take a break from taking the drug. There is a very high probability that the effect of the next imitation elixir you take will be even lower. “I recommend taking at least a 6-month medication holiday.”
Theo couldn’t do that. He also took out the practitioners of light, and he also took out Fiat from [Lining Mind]. Soon this fact will become known. You don’t know what will happen in the future, so you need to prepare as best you can.
“Is there no way? For example, taking more Imitation Elixir.”
Taylor shook his head.
“That is not a method I would recommend. Although elixirs are known to be a panacea, they are prone to side effects when overused. Even the real thing, not an imitation. “It’s because it’s not known.”
“Are there any side effects?”
“There are a lot of them, but the most common one is a decrease in the body’s fundamental recovery ability. “It may be extreme, but there were cases where the cold could not be cured naturally and the person died.”
“······.”
“So, we need to take a drug holiday now. If the elixir is abused further, there is a strong possibility that Theo’s body will also fall into that state. You may experience muscle pain that will naturally recover in half a day for over a week. “It’s like trying to take one step forward and then taking 100 steps back.”
“Isn’t there a way to achieve a similar effect?”
Taylor stared at Theo. Theo’s eyes were firm. His words were in no condition to be understood.
“······Hmm. Even if you try to stop him, he won’t listen. Then let’s replace it with another drug. “It’s not as good as the Imitation Elixir, but if you combine things together, you can come up with a drug that has quite useful effects.”
“Is something like that possible?”
“Yes. “Drugs often have unexpected effects depending on how they are combined.”
“Approximately how long will that work take? “The faster the better.”
“No matter how fast it is, it will take at least two months. “You have to go through clinical trials, even if it’s simple.”
“Um… I understand.”
Theo shook his head.
‘I think it would be right to stop taking elixir for the time being. But it’s at least two months…
It is not a short period of time. You never know what will happen in two months.
As a specific example, two months have not passed since I obtained the [Demon Sword].
It is essential to find a means for rapid recovery.
At that time, a thought crossed Theo’s mind.
‘······Now that I think about it, there was a way.’
One corner of Theo’s mouth turned up with a grin.
‘Why didn’t I think of this?’

Inside the student council room of the Warrior Department.
Isabella was in the student council room.
Isabella looked unusually flushed.
She walked through the student council room, lost in her thoughts.

‘Is there something you really want to ask of me…?’
This is because I received a call from Theo.
She heard that she had joined the Light Acolyte Survey Corps a few days ago, but she didn’t know she would return so soon.
His voice, heard through the crystal sphere, was filled with urgency.
─This is a very urgent matter, so I will contact you as soon as I return to the academy, senior. Can I come right away?
Isabella had no choice but to answer hesitantly, ‘Uh, yes.’
Although it was a situation she disliked, having been swayed according to her opponent’s intentions, she did not feel bad.
No, it was actually good.
Whatever the process, it means that he found himself with a solution to a very urgent matter.
At that time.
─This is Theo Lin Walderk, senior. Can I come in?
A knock was heard beyond the door.
“Um, um, hmm.”
Isabella hurriedly cleared her throat and checked her reflection in the mirror.
‘I don’t have eye bags… my skin is okay. Costume…Is also ok. Hairstyle… Well, there’s something I don’t like, but this is okay.’
After completing her emergency inspection, Isabella spoke to her door.
“Yes, come in~”

After hearing Theo’s words, Isabella stuttered her words, which was unusual.
“So… So, let’s live together with you?”
