“What’s wrong with you, so creepy?”
"My dear little sister, you've worked so hard. Is there anything you want? Just tell me."
“Fine. Do you think I don’t have money?”
The reason spring came to Elliott, who had endured all his trials, was thanks to his younger sister, Diana.
Diana had been deliberately training her supernatural ability at Elliott's request, and finally, three months ago, she completed <Restoration of Light>.
The more advanced the supernatural ability, the longer and more mental strength it requires to train.
Considering that, his younger sister's hardship was quite significant.
“Ta-da.”
Pinkish rough diamond.
It is a pink diamond mined exclusively in the Quartz Mine of the Kingdom of Ebonwind. A gem that cannot be obtained no matter how much money one has.
"Oh?"
“Hahaha! Do you like it? I know your taste, so I prepared this in advance. I’ll have a skilled craftsman make a matching accessory set for you, my pretty one~?”
"That's so creepy."
Diana smiled wryly.
Once <Restoration of Light> is completed, the healing ability can be supplied in the form of medicine.
Elliot planned to paralyze the medical system by bribing the institutions with the 'salvation medicine' created by Diana.
If the sick cannot receive treatment, the Imperial Household will have no choice but to bow its head once again.
They will have no choice but to set up a negotiation table and accept Elliott's demands in exchange for lifting the collusion among the medical departments.
'First off, I'm going to tell that damn bastard to bang his head against the wall.'
Elliott chuckled as he imagined the Crown Prince bowing his head before him.
"Stop laughing and check that."
Diana gestured toward the documents placed on the table.
“Here is the list of people who have bought the salvation medicine so far. You told me to get their names.”
"Aha, good job."
“But why do we need a list of buyers? Isn't it enough that the departments make money, regardless of who buys it?”
"That's true, but it would be troublesome if someone tried to resell it. There are quite a few bastards in the capital who have hooked up with the Crown Prince."
Elliott had no choice but to be cautious, as he had been interfered with by the imperial family more than once or twice.
“It’s a big problem if they stockpile the drugs and pull a stunt later. I’ll tell you about some shady guys, so don’t sell to them twice.”
"You are meticulous."
"It’s a businessman’s basic. Where?"
Elliott, holding the list, put his arm around Diana's shoulder.
“Let’s see which rich folks have been lining the pockets of the politicians, shall we~?”
Since they would be sold at prices that cannot be purchased without considerable wealth in the medical department, naturally, it would only be for well-known nobles.
Elliott, who was listlessly scanning the buyer list...
"Uh?"
He froze for a moment.
Revan Belzer
"What's the matter?"
Diana followed Elliott's gaze, which had somehow frozen, and frowned as she read an unfamiliar name.
“Belzer?”
It is an eastern territory, and the castle of his younger brother Ryan, who was excommunicated long ago. It has grown quite a bit over the past three years.
But that is all he knows.
"Is it the one Ryan has?"
Diana isn't very interested in that.
However, it was not Elliott.
'Revan...'
Elliott knows who he is.
The 'Conrad Massacre,' a tragedy 16 years ago in which his incompetent younger brother Ryan was implicated and blamed for the family's crimes.
All of Conrad's inhabitants died, and their home was burned to ashes, leaving no trace behind.
The truth of that day was that he had a secret base in the Conrad estate and dared to 'extract' the supernatural ability, which was the exclusive property of Wassenberg, and 'implant' it into an ordinary person...
It was a kind of warning about the ability transplant experiment.
'Revan. You're the guy who was the only survivor out of the professors who did that shitty experiment back then.'
Elliott's eyes wavered.
Salvation pill.
Extraction of supernatural ability.
Transplantation.
Department of Magic Engineering.
The surviving professor...
If?
An ominous suspicion was sweeping over his entire body.
“Fuck!”
Elliott jumped up from his seat.
“Why did this bastard take this?!”
***
Diana releases the salvation drug and causes the medical departments to collude.
Then I will also release the rescue medicine and demand that the medical departments lift the collusion.
Medical cartels can be dismantled by this simple principle.
However.
'That won't work this time.'
After returning, I am hiding my identity.
The situation has changed from when I just had to get my hair pulled by my older sister and slapped by my eldest brother for blatant interference.
It wouldn't be difficult to replicate the salvation potion Diana creates, but then it would only be a matter of time before my identity is revealed.
Diana, with her supernatural healing ability, should be the only person in this world capable of creating such a miraculous recovery medicine...
What if a salvation medicine of unknown origin were suddenly released into the capital?
The Wasenberg family will realize that there is an unknown ability user with the same power.
As the pursuit narrows, it is obvious that the three siblings—Ryan, me, and Alex—who are living away from home pretending to be incompetent will be robbed.
However, there was a solution.
Unravel the salvation pill as planned, but absolutely do not let anyone guess that I am the one who created it.

[Department of Magic Engineering]
[Professor, Revan Belzer]
16 years ago. The Imperial Academy Department of Magic Engineering was abolished after all professors except one minor were sentenced to death.
This department was re-established one year ago.
There is only one professor so far, though.
“Magic is a truly fascinating and supernatural phenomenon. It can start a fire without the combination of oxygen, and cells can instantly complete the process of forming new tissue to restore the skin.”
Revan Belzer, a young professor with a slender figure who always maintains a pitch-black suit.
As always, there were many students who followed him even after the lecture ended.
“However, unfortunately, magic vanished long ago and became an ancient relic. Yet, only traces remain... and that is this magic stone.”
The professor held a white mineral in his hand and showed it.
"We can extract the substances remaining in the magic stone and combine them with modern engineering."
"So that’s the principle of magic tool creation?"
“That is correct. We can use magic stones to craft magical tools that operate on the same principles as magic. The academic discipline that studies magic extraction and the creation of magical tools is precisely...”
With a gentle smile, the professor finished speaking.
"It is magic engineering."
And he gleamed with a mad look in his eyes toward the three students who were so enthusiastic that they had followed him all the way to the professor's research building.
"Well then, shall we continue the rest of the story over a cup of tea in my lab?"
“Uh, Professor...”
However, the three female students hesitated in front of the laboratory door. It was because of a guest who had arrived earlier and was waiting.
Tall stature. Neat uniform.
Everyone's eyes widened at the appearance of a handsome knight with long, pure white hair neatly tied up.
“Kali?”
Professor Revan was surprised to see his younger sibling, who had come to visit without notice for the first time in a long while.
"Oh, dear. A guest was already here. They look alike, don't they? She is my younger sister. It’s a shame, but I suppose I’ll have to treat you to tea later."
However, the female students, whose eyes were stolen by Kali, could not leave their seats.
Revan clapped his hands to attract attention and spoke.
"She's handsome, right? But she's my younger sister."
And then he entered the laboratory with Kali.
“What brings you here without any notice?”
"What's with the way you talk? It's so awkward."
Kali plopped down on the laboratory sofa and let out a snicker.
“You’re a professor now, brother. You’ve graduated from that warm hometown accent. You have to teach in standard institutional language.”
Revan, who looked quite like a professor, sat opposite Kali while skillfully boiling water for tea.
"I'm sorry I couldn't even come home because I was so busy. My little one, you missed seeing my face, didn't you?"
"Yeah. But I have something else to say as well. Your tone sounds awkward; could you please go back to your usual way?"
Kali said as she put her hand in the inside pocket of her uniform jacket.
“No way, you're a professor.”
A medicine bottle containing sky-blue liquid.
It is the 'salvation medicine' that Diana Wasenberg has currently released to some of the institutions.
Upon seeing that, Revan shouted.
“Whoa, f*ck!!!”
