: 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.
