Chapter 148 – Iona Observation Diary (3)

After school.

She seems to be at her own pace, but unexpectedly, Iona works thoroughly as a professor in front of the students.

Of course, after school, when there is no attention from students, he will show a more relaxed appearance.

I pressed down on the transparent robe, hoping to expose a little more of the part that would naturally be a weakness.

… No. Just in case, I even used a deodorant potion and silence magic.

Now that you can’t hide in a crowd or pretend to be doing something else, you have to be a little more careful about hiding yourself.

With the mindset of dealing with even the boss mob, I kept a certain distance and slowly followed Iona.

Hehe~”

Even though no one is watching, Io Na sings her hum and walks as if she were jumping on her hops.

Iona walked around her corridors with brisk steps, and exchanged eye-to-eye greetings or short chats with other professors she occasionally encountered.

But there was just one exception.

Jason, the professor in charge of Class 1 A in the Faculty of Engineering, meets the moment he crosses the corner.

A bald middle-aged professor whom I had briefly seen during the practice dungeon the other day, as soon as he ran into Iona, quickly ran away from her.

Did she say that she used to be a disciple of Iona? It was originally a magic department, but it was a rare case where he realized belatedly that his aptitude was in the sword and transferred.

At H&A, I would have thought that the professor who was so strict and serious would run away in front of Iona.

How much did you suffer when you were a substitute student….

Haha! Bald Harvest!”

“Hey, stop! If you rip off any more here, you’ll be really bald!”

Are you still suffering?!

She panted after Iona, who smiled more evil than any nomadic invader.

“It’s okay! It’s okay! I’ll get you some hair loss pills! So just give me 5 hairs for this experiment!”

“Even if she applied the hair loss medicine she received like that, she would pull it out again when the time came. No! Now I am an adult with a wife and children! So I won’t put up with this outrageous behavior any longer….”

“Huh huh huh. This time, it is a new hair loss medicine made in collaboration with Elama Tower and Steen Studio, but is it really necessary?”

“… Five?”

Hearing the word hair loss medicine, he gave a cautious voice like a gentle sheep.

Toward Jason, Iona takes out a luxurious bottle from her pocket and shakes it.

“Hey….”

Jason pulls out his hair, exuding spirit as if he had made a decision to save the country.

He gritted his teeth with an expression that looked like he was about to shed bloody tears at any moment.

“Why are you taking so much of my hair? You know very well that if you pull it out like this during hair loss treatment, it will be a joke.”

“Well. Well. Even if it grows like that, it will fall out again after about a week. Is it okay to be cured?”

“Kuh… If you reached Expert before your hair fell out….”

Thanks to Jason’s gloomy voice, I was able to get a rough idea of ​​the situation.

It is true that there is a hair loss medicine on the continent of Eurelia.

What… It doesn’t end with one application, but it is a drug that needs to be applied several times over a long period of time.

Although the price of hair loss medicine is exorbitant, there is somewhere that it can be treated anyway.

In Jason’s case, even that doesn’t seem easy.

As for the cost of medicine, I think I can afford it somehow even with the salary of an academy professor.

The problem is that he reached the level of an aura expert only after his hair fell out.

A person who has reached Aura Expert will have the appearance of a superhuman in earnest, and one of the characteristics gained in the process is enormous vitality.

That why you know Stories about how they fought for hours with their heart stabbed, and how they survived after getting a hole the size of their head in their stomach.

It would be impossible for an ordinary person, but it is actually possible for an expert-class knight who has awakened his body and maximized his vitality.

That’s why aging slows down dramatically after becoming an expert.

However, there was a big problem here… The point is that the body considers it normal the moment it reaches expert level.

So, in the case of Jason, the body considers hair loss normal.

No matter how much hair loss medicine you apply, it is said that your body is resisting the hair loss medicine because it regards hair growth as abnormal.

That’s why when I gave him the hair loss medicine I bought at the auction house and asked him to teach me swordsmanship, he refused with a subtle expression.

Because halfway hair loss pills won’t be able to pierce Jason’s own resistance.

It would have been better if the hair loss had been treated before becoming an expert….

Maybe at that time, I couldn’t afford the cost of hair loss medicine, or I had a sudden realization that I was in the middle of the day.

Now, in order to cure Jason’s hair loss, he has no choice but to use a new powerful medicine, undergo direct treatment from the great wizard, or become a sword master himself.

The latter two are practically impossible, so the only way left is a more powerful depilatory pill.

The moment Iona took out her personal medicine, the outcome of the chase was as if it had been decided.

Feel sorry….

It took a while to secretly send sympathy to Professor Jason.

I focused my mind again on Jason’s question, which had calmed down.

“After… That’s it. Anyway, what the hell are you using my bloody hair for? I’ve heard that tracking magic is being researched….”

“What? What? Didn’t I tell you? It’s not just tracking magic, I’m making magic that allows tracking even with the remains of the body!”

“To be able to track it even with only the remains of the body… Is that possible? As soon as the connection with the main body is damaged, it will become a separate organization.”

“Huh! Joy! I won’t tell the escaped disciple anything!”

“Aren’t you Professor Iona who said that a sword suits me better than magic?!”

Jason jumps up in amazement.

Did you transfer because of Iona’s recommendation? . Whether it’s magic or swords, it must have been the mindset that only cultists had to be good at it.

It was Iona who grumbled at his former student for a long time, but she nodded with a smile as if it was a joke.

“I almost made it. And don’t be too unfair because I’m using all the hair of other professors besides Jason as experiment material!”

“Thank you for that… No, there is a difference between the number of hairs I have and the other professors!”

Come to think of it, Jason must have been pissed off, but he let out a deep sigh and asked in a calmer voice.

“Are you still looking?”

“…….”

Iona just smiles without answering. At this, Jason clicked his tongue lightly.

“Tsk. I told you to do it in moderation.”

Of course, Iona dismissed Jason with the bizarre poses she sometimes shows.

“I don’t listen to those weaker than me!”

“…….”

Maybe it’s because her hair was pulled out, but… Somehow, it seemed that Jason had aged a few years in this short span of time.

“Whoa… Right. You will do well Anyway, I’m going to go to work now. Her daughter is making dinner with her wife these days, and I’m sorry if I’m late.”

“Yes. Family is a precious place. Good bye!”

Jason trudging along, and Iona waving his arms and saying hello.

After breaking up with her Jason, Iona went straight to her lab without anyone else meeting her.

No matter what, if you follow her to the lab, you’ll get caught, right?

The moment I want to withdraw with a regretful mind, wondering if today is finally here.

Rattle.

“Ah-cha-cha….”

She made a strange noise halfway between a sigh and a sigh as she came out of the lab.

She was walking back the way she had come, with a quick step, to see if she had forgotten something.

She, of course, came towards me, who was behind her, so she hid under the stairs near the hodak.

Soon after, Iona’s footsteps receded.

… Lab door. Didn’t she sleep?

When she peeked out her head, she could only see Iona’s back as she disappeared into the distance, but no one was near her.

Is this an opportunity?

During a conversation with Jason, she heard that Iona was preparing something and was curious about it.

Iona in H&A is just an important supporting character. She was nothing more and nothing less.

She cannot be directly controlled, she is not shown fighting, and she is not deeply involved in the story.

Of course, her dialogue scripts and illustrations were well prepared as she appeared often.

Although there she could have gotten document items here and there that could have guessed Iona’s past with her.

Even so, Iona was just one of the NPCs that couldn’t be captured after all.

The reason I follow myself like this is because the information I could get from H&A was limited.

By the way, did you get a chance to take a sneak peek at Iona’s lab?

I can’t stand this.

If you’re a fan of H&A, you have no choice but to check it out regardless of her weaknesses.

She took one more look around her and made sure she was safe before she cautiously opened the door to the lab.

I’m sorry.

The door slides away with a slight grating sound.

She kindly left the light on, so I was able to take in the scenery of the lab at a glance.

Experimental tools you don’t know what they are. Large desk. A pile of books stacked on top of it.

Finally, a portrait of Iona flaunting her presence in the center of the wall.

… Oh my gosh.

She hung a picture of herself in a big way.

It was as if an auditory hallucination of ‘Iona appeared!’ Was heard in the portrait.
