Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 95: Together Forever (9)

"How are you doing, Miss Gahyeon?" I asked.

"I think I've improved a little. I can still hear the voices, but my head doesn't hurt anymore. How could this be?" she replied.

'It's all thanks to Jeong-yeon.'

Of course, I didn't mention this. It wasn't a bad thing to maximize my own value. I had to show them that I also managed to play a competent role during this expedition.

"What kind of magic did you use?"

"Hahaha. I didn't really use a complete type of magic. The brain is made up of associated neurons, responsible for receiving and processing stimuli. So, medically, the brain is classified as the central nervous system."

"Yeah? That..."

Park Gahyeon's expression showed that she didn't know what I was talking about. Even I didn't know what bullsh*t I was spouting. I didn't know anything about the brain, and I sure as hell wasn't a psychology expert.

However, the expressions of those around me had changed. Although they had already overestimated my abilities initially, their eyes had still widened when I continued to show off my so-called expertise.

"The central nervous system has a metabolism that is differentiated from other organs. To make adenosine triphosphate, you need a supply of oxygen to..."

How many people in Korea had this kind of knowledge? I knew no one would understand me, which was why I was bold enough to spout whatever came to mind.

'There is no one here who has worked at the Brain Science Research Institute...'

Even if I didn't understand it, combining magic and alchemy knowledge was a field I was an expert in.

"Ah. I explained it in such a difficult manner..."

"Ah... no..."

"To put it simply, this kind of curse, even if it comes in the form of unknown magic, eventually involves the brain. Whether it's alchemy, black magic, or divine power, in the end, it relies heavily on the brain."

"Alas..."

"You can think about hearing voices because your brain has been led astray. Of course, I couldn't correct the illusions, but at least I could give antibiotics."

"What..."

"It is the perception that what we see and hear is not reality. The human body is really amazing. Of course, these illusions cannot be cured with drugs. The science of magic is more complicated than you think. Let me explain by involving alchemy..."

"Ahhh... That's right. Yeah."

I could see people nodding, but I knew they did not understand. Even if one knew about how the brain worked, they still wouldn't understand, nor would they call me out on my bluffing.

Of course, in Jeong-yeon and Hayan's case, their questions were a little more different. I explained things as subtly as I could, to the point where they believed I had given an accurate answer.

'Very good.'

I could already feel my reputation rising. When I first came to the guild, I would not have thought that this would happen.

"In fact, when I first heard that the alchemist was brought at that price, the executives thought the higher-ups were crazy... Looking at you now, I realize that you really are a genius. Ha... What have you been doing back on Earth?"

'Genius is such an inaccurate terminology.'

The word scammer fits me better.

"I haven't done anything that warrants such praise."
