After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

56 – Rating formula (4)

“…That’s it.”

The laboratory smells a bit of musty dust.

Ian finished explaining to Cristina what was going on.

“You bet on a technology that is not yet complete?”

“Because I believe.”

“And the deadline is even tomorrow?”

“Master’s student… If you’re a scientist, it’s normal to stay up all night.”

In response to Ian’s nonchalant reaction, Christina’s voice, which gradually grew like a gradation, peaked at the end.

“Besides, that’s the cost of purchasing our raw materials, and you’ve put on a light show that says, ‘I’ll show you something!’

“…You could organize it that way.”

Christina makes an expression as if the world is almost ruined.

‘Certainly, it seems that I used my hard-earned research too much.’

I had a similar experience before being possessed.

Ian felt a little sorry for putting her research funds on the stake without any discussion.

She certainly had enough confidence to win and her Ian’s share of her research fund, but her own behavior in betting her money was a bit emotional.

If the goal was to improve Ian’s own reputation anyway, it would have been enough to show something in the last measurement.

Christina’s mouth opened as she stared at Ian.

“Hey. Are you crazy?”

“What?”

At Ian’s embarrassed question, Christina calmly covered her mouth with her fingertips.

“Oops. My inner feelings have come out.”

Her eyes remain the same, and only the corners of her mouth are raised.

“It’s not…! Hurry up and get it back! How can I buy the materials when I’m betting all the money on them! You have to have the materials to do research!”

“Were you going to use all that for materials?”

“Of course! How expensive rare metals are! Just because you have a way to procure them, you’re right!”

An angry Christina with the back of her hand on her waist.

But her Ian nodded her head graciously.

If it was because of the material cost, there is no problem.

“I already got the ingredients.”

Ian took out the glass bottles he had been carrying in her bag.

She asks Sylvia to meet small and medium-sized companies that handle raw materials.

Anyway, the amount of rare metals needed for research is only a small fraction. It is also a story that the by-products brought by helping the extraction work of the related top are enough.

‘Satisfaction at the top was higher than expected.’

Rather, it was a so-called win-win, with their level of satisfaction higher than that of Ian.

— Dalgrak, Dalgrak.

Ian quietly took out a glass bottle and put it up.

“Isn’t this enough?”

Glass bottles lined up on the table.

Cristina’s eyes, which should have been droopy from her tiredness, widened beyond expectation.

“Muh…muh, what. There’s still money left after buying all of this?”

“Uh. I did it with my body. I barely spent any money.”

“On…?”

Christina’s eyes tremble wildly from side to side of her.

Should I calm down?

While Ian was pondering.

Christina gets her knees straight on her floor.

She then closes her num and puts her hands together as if in prayer.

“I’m sorry for doubting you. I’m just a researcher in a corner of a room burning rocks in a lab with no light. As expected, Ian-nim is the light and hope, just the Greatest of All Time Scientist. Now I won’t doubt it again. Emen .”

“…….”

Ian looked down at her somewhat puzzled.

Her serious eyes, as if praying for real, are even more bewildered.

It seems that the myth that all scientists have a screw missing somewhere is true.

— Tok Tok

Cristina stood up after brushing off the dust from her lap and tilted her head with a smile on her face.

“Do you have any questions? Ian.”

It’s hard to believe that he was angry until a while ago. Seeing her looking up at herself with her face that made her look somewhat burdened with her.

“… I’m not serious, I’m just kidding, right?”

“No, I mean it. I will never doubt you again. I will be the first member of the Lee Angyo.”

“Can you please drop that concept because it’s burdensome?”

Cristina quietly nodded her head.

But her eyes were somehow unusual.

From noble mtl dot com

“…But, over there Mr. Ian.”

“Huh?”

“What will you do if you get research funds?”

“Of course, I have to use it again as research funds.”

Cristina took her hand with her infinitely impressed face.

“I’m going to sleep tonight.”

That’s a really good attitude.

“However, it will take several tests to see how Mr. Ian can apply the floating stone. Even if you wear it in the form of a thin film, there is no guarantee that the properties of this material will be maintained.”

Cristina immediately packed up her gown and protective gear with her briefing.

The way she wears tight white sanitary gloves on her hands gives off a very professional vibe.

“I think it would be difficult to make it thin enough to fit Ian’s body. Let’s start with that.”

He is good at grasping the core of work and jumping right into it.

It is not for nothing that he is an alchemist who will later make his name on the continent.

“Mr. Ian, please prepare so that I can make a thin film. I think we should start a little faster…”

Of course, her talent in this kind of application is not inferior to her.

[ Copper ], [ Lead ], [ Lunar ], [ Iron ] … ….

Ian put his hand on the metal without saying anything.

In an instant, materials covered Ian’s body.

“Will this be enough?”

Christina’s mouth fell open.

◆

The next day. A measuring station gathered for the 2nd class measurement.

“… Ian?”

“Yes. Why?”

“Are you okay? Your eyes look very tired. Your hair is also frizzy.”

Ian blankly touched his head.

“Oh.”

Come to think of it, she forgot to wash up.

It’s because I stayed up all night thinking about how to apply floating stones and experimenting.

‘What. After the ceremony, I can wash up and go to bed.’

Danya wept at the sight of her.

“You don’t have to push yourself too hard because of me…”

Danya was thinking that Ian was fighting to take care of him.

Ian was just angry at the attitude of Sharon’s guards.

But he didn’t bother to correct Danya’s misunderstanding.

I was too tired to stay up all night to take care of that.

“Judging by the look on her face, she must have slept poorly all night thinking about losing money.”

Ian turned her head toward the grinning voice.

Sharon’s fan club president, Lukasic, stood there with the corner of her mouth raised.

Seeing that, Ian raised the corner of her mouth.

Her tired look suddenly disappeared, and her eyes and posture became infinitely intelligent and confident.

“I was going to visit you anyway, but it went well. We bet.”

Lucasic’s face stiffened at the sudden change in Ian.

What the hell are you talking about?

Ian’s mouth opened.

“But isn’t that a bit odd?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m fighting a fight with a lower probability, but I thought it wouldn’t be a bit of a one-to-one ratio. I wish I had taken care of my odds. Around 1:4?”

Lukasic has already put in a gold coin as a bet.

One gold coin is equivalent to a year’s worth of food for a middle-class family.

No matter how noble Lukasic is, this is an amount that cannot help but be borne.

Ian smirked at the momentum.

“Cheol?”

“Jjoo, put in one more shudder! Then, is that okay?”

“No. Put in three more. Hang four.”

“…Four?”

“Yes, four.”

“That’s ridiculous…!”

“You’re the only one who said that levitation is nonsense. If you’re that confident, you should pay me more dividends.”

Lucasic’s face went white.

In his head, Ian had a generally lack of confidence.

I was suddenly taken aback when I saw Ian making such a confident request.

That’s why I can’t lose face because I have face.

“Let’s make it three.”

“Four.”

Lucasic wrapped his arms around Ian’s shoulders.

Then he whispered softly.

“I don’t have any money right now… If I put in all this, I have no living expenses.”

“Four.”

“Profit!”

Ian’s eyes are infinitely clear and like an idiot.

Lucasic was a bit overwhelmed by that spirit.

‘I’m sure not anyway.’

It’s a surplus business where if you leave four gold coins for a while, you get five back in a few minutes.

Lucasic put three more gold coins into the money bag.

“Instead, let’s be clear. Levitation, to be precise, you have to stay in the same position as you floated. It means mid-air fixation.”

“Of course.”

At Lukasic’s words, Ian laughed and tied the opening of the gold coin pouch.

I’m trying to hand over my pocket to a notary like that.

A white hand blocked the front.

◆

“What does this mean for a rating ceremony?”

“… Sha, Sir Sharon?”

Actually yesterday, the bet between Ian and Lukasic was canceled due to Sharon Pierce’s block.

Ian quickly tied up the bag containing the stake and threw it to the cadet who was notarizing the bet.

Sharon frowned.

“I think you asked what I was doing?”

“Bet. Why. Do you want to bet too?”

The silence between interludes.

Sharon opened her mouth with a voice like a sword made of ice.

“I really don’t like you. Ian Black Angus.”

“What do you mean you don’t like it?”

“Everything you do.”

“…….”

Ian looked at Sharon for a moment.

She knew that she didn’t like herself, she didn’t like pom-poms to be exact.

I just assumed that if she was the culprit behind pushing her pompom, it was because her pompom was chasing her and interfering with her training.

So, she vowed not to get involved with her.

She just doesn’t know if she lets her practice alone, maybe her interest in herself will fade.

But Sharon, she seemed to have other thoughts about pom-poms.

“Ian Black Angus. You pretend to help others, but on the inside you are plotting a nefarious scheme. This situation is obvious. I frown as if I were looking at my brothers and sisters.”

“Comparing me to the children of the Pierce family seems to overestimate me.”

Sharon frowned at Ian’s words.

“Your crimes will come to light before the Disciplinary Committee.”

“That’s a little unfair.”

“Unfair? Look at what you’re doing. You’re making up nonsense and throwing money away based on it. You’re a playboy who creates all sorts of tricks and plots to mess around. That’s why it’s necessary.”

In short, it is the story of the death of an apostle of justice.

Could that sense of justice motivate someone to push someone off a rooftop?

If she thinks about the environment she grew up in, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, instead of thinking about this, Ian provoked Sharon.

“Walk then.”

“What?”

“If you don’t believe me, bet you too.”

“…….”

“Whether it’s money or things. In short, wouldn’t it be fine if I showed you myself floating in the air and standing still?”

Ian glanced around.

While the second grade measurement ceremony is in progress.

Thousands of cadets were watching this fight.

“In front of them.”

Infinitely upright attitude.

Even Sharon was momentarily taken aback by Ian’s confidence.

But that was only for a moment, and immediately her eyes regained sharpness.

“Good.”

Sharon Woon unsheathed her sword from her own belt.

“I’ll bet this sword on Ian’s inability to maintain his posture in the air.”
