Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 138
Chapter 138
The white horse made a fuss as if it were just that.
I wondered if Sharkan had managed to clear up the misunderstanding with the potion he had brought, but looking at the two students, he was misunderstanding something else.
You can’t leave it like this!
However, Yoner looked at Lee Han with an expression asking what he was talking about.
“There’s no chance it’s a real griffon. What are you talking about?”
“I said earlier that there were two vivid green potions.”
A potion of dispelling the curse and a potion of animal transformation.
Both potions had the same color, so Yoner couldn’t tell them right away when Sharkan ran through the potion chest.
What if what the white horse drank was not the potion of transforming into a griffon, but the potion of removing the curse?
“But… Lee Han.”
Yoner hesitated, as if he didn’t know where to start pointing it out.
Lee Han’s words were so absurd.
“No matter how much it is, there’s no way Professor Lightning Steps will transform a griffon into a horse and give it to the students.”
“……”
-……
Lee Han was also silent on the white horse.
Yoner’s logic was too perfect.
However, Lee Han did not back down easily.
‘Yoner still has some faith in the professors, but I don’t.’
The magic school professors could do anything.
Even if that means turning a griffon into a horse and forcing it to be given to a freshman!
It was an unlikely event, but Lee Han felt uncomfortable for some reason.
Besides, the White Horse and Sharkan kept rambling and feeling a bit frustrated…
“I still want to check it out.”
“If you say so… how are you going to check?”
“Let’s check out another green potion.”
“It’s dangerous to carelessly feed transformation potions to animals.”
Yoner said with a worried look.
Unlike rational people, it was difficult to predict how animals would react when their bodies changed.
“Of course, I have no intention of feeding Pawnrig. To Gainando…” Lee Han,
who was talking, hesitated.
Suddenly, the name of the white horse started to bother me.
…can’t it be?
‘Professor Lightning Strikes is a person who is so reckless that he just calls Griffon’s name backwards… that’s right.’
Lee Han looked at the white horse.
The white horse stared at Lee Han with its deep, large eyes and nodded.
trust me!
“To feed Gainando?”
“huh. Is it like that too?”
“no. That’s a good idea.”
Yoner agreed without thinking for a second.
I wanted to stop feeding animals transformation potions, but Guinando was fine.
“for a moment. Yoner. Come to think of it, you can ask the priests to check again.”
At Lee Han’s words, Yoner widened his eyes.
I know?
“Is that so…?”
“But you must be busy checking the other potions. Shall we just feed it to Guinando and check it out?”
“I’ll leave it up to you. Han Lee. Anything would be fine.”
The two students of the Blue Dragon’s Tower moved back to the tower, plotting a suspicious scheme.
The white horse pounded the ground with its hoof and looked at Lee Han’s back with an expectant gaze.
Soon this nonsense will be cleared!
Sharkan barked as if to wait a little longer. The white horse bowed its head in gratitude.

Monday.
The weekend is over and a new week with the spring festival has arrived, but Lee Han’s heart is far from warm excitement.
In the morning, there was Professor Voladi’s lecture.
Professor Voladi sighed lightly when he saw Lee Han entering. It was the first time he had seen Lee Han.
‘what? It’s terribly scary.’
It was scary to do something that people wouldn’t do. Even more so, if it was someone like Professor Voladi, it was doubly scary.
Professor Voladi spoke slowly.
“I would have said it was overexertion.”
“yes?”
Professor Voladi’s way of speaking, which starts with cutting both front and back, was always new.
Lee Han was nervous.
You never know what your opponent is going to do.
“Do you remember when you defeated the golem?”
“yes.”
Lee Han, who fell for Professor Thunderwalk’s wiles, had knocked down a mud golem blocking his path in order to survive.
By pouring a huge amount of mana, he completed a huge water ball with rotation properties.
And Professor Voladi heard that strangely, and came to me and said, ‘Why are you so greedy? The rotation attribute already?” made Lee Han upset.
Lee Han is not greedy for such a part, and even if he did, Professor Voladi shouldn’t have said such things.
Isn’t he the most greedy for magic progress among the current magic school professors!
“I should have told you not to fret at that time.”
“So I haven’t used the rotation property since then…?”
“I heard you tried to manipulate multiple water jade.”
“……”
Lee Han despaired.
Professor Ingeldell, how far has this man been talking?
‘I’m going crazy.’
It was clear that the professors of the magic school had time to gather. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have spread so well.
“I couldn’t help it because the situation was urgent.”
“I guess so.”
Professor Voladi nodded meekly. Lee Han was not relieved by that appearance.
Because Professor Voladi was a person who put on an expression of understanding and, on the inside, completed a different idea with his own logic.
Lee Han’s guess was correct.
Professor Voladi had other ideas.
‘How difficult is teaching.’
The road ahead, but those who did not go did not qualify as wizards.
And the boy from the Wardanaz family in front of him was young, but he was more like a wizard than anyone else.
It wasn’t because of Professor Voladi’s advice that Yihan stopped exploring the properties of rotation the other day.
A true wizard never stopped advising with such shallow words.
It was only possible if you convinced yourself.
So, didn’t Professor Voladi also prepare for additional training?
To force focus.
‘But it’s something I have to do.’
Professor Voladi rose from his seat.
I could tell just by looking at Lee Han’s eyes.
That Wardanaz boy won’t stop.
Like the last time, Professor Voladi had no intention of just giving thin advice.
“Let me take it.”
“?”
Han Lee was taken aback by the package Professor Boladi gave him.
what is this?
“Look around.”
When I opened the package, I found something like an old cloak. I could feel the magic, so it was clear that there was magic.
“What kind of magic is it?”
“Defense magic.”
“……”
Lee Han sighed.
Why would Professor Voladi give a cloak enchanted with defense?
‘Looks like he hit harder than last time.’
How many times are you going to lose…
But instead of casting magic, Professor Voladi turned around. Then I opened the door to the classroom and went outside.
“Follow me.”
“??”
Han Lee followed Professor Boladi in a slightly embarrassed mood.
The hallway of the lecture hall located on the first basement floor was dark with no sign of anyone. Even in the morning, it feels like a completely different place.
“Where are you going?”
“You did elemental detection training the other day.”
“It was.”
I wanted to get angry at him for answering the question, but Lee Han persevered.
Because Professor Voladi was originally like this.
“The ability to detect the four elements is sufficient. To the point where I don’t need to train anymore.”
“thank you.”
By Professor Voladi’s standards, that was an enormous compliment. Lee Han was meekly grateful.
“And gave me a book on basic lightning magic and its applications.”
“I am reading it intently, but not yet completely…”
“I didn’t think I would understand it all at once.”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised.
I wasn’t surprised by that statement, I was surprised that Professor Voladi had said such a thing.
No, Professor Voladi said such a normal thing?
‘…I’m not going to like it, but the difficulty of the book seems to be much greater than I thought.’
It was not a time to rejoice. Lee Han’s heart became depressed again.
“Element detection ability, control ability, shape transformation ability… All of them are sufficient, so it is not strange to try to manipulate multiple prisons.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han was delighted.
I was glad that it was a good situation to try.
Wouldn’t Professor Voladi’s teaching… be a little less harsh?
The professor closed his mouth at the end. He strode down the basement hallway and swung his staff at the wall. A hidden staircase appeared.
‘How many hidden roads are there?’
Lee Han chased after the professor, taking notes on the road.
After that, there was no word for a while, and Lee Han asked again, puzzled.
“So Professor… where are you going?”
Just now, I asked where he was going, but he suddenly brought up the training he had done so far and was silent.
what?
Professor Voladi stopped and looked at Lee Han. There was a faint look of bewilderment in his eyes.
As a skilled disciple, Lee Han grasped the situation.
‘hmm. He seems to think he’s done his explanation with what he just said.’
I don’t know how that was explained, but Lee Han wasn’t taken aback.
“Could you elaborate a bit more? From where exactly we are going now.”
“I am going to the dungeon.”
“……”
Lee Han momentarily regretted asking for nothing.
* * *
Dungeons.
A heterogeneous space with rules different from those of the outside world due to the magical power accumulated in a specific area.
It could be an ancient ruin, a tower built by a mad skeleton lich to store reagents, or anywhere.
It would be nice if the rules were different and peacefully filled with magic, but there were monsters in normal dungeons. It was only natural that they were attracted to magical powers.
Of course, considering the history of this magic school, there was no way that there were no dungeons in the school, whether natural or artificial, but…
‘I didn’t want to go into it with my feet.’
How long did you walk along the hidden passage underground?
Gradually, the bricks on the floor disappeared and changed naturally, and the magic of the air increased.
And from the deep darkness in front of me, it seemed like I could hear the eerie sound of the monster.
Lee Han looked at the back of Professor Boladi, who was leading the way.
Would it be easier to overpower Professor Voladi and escape now, or would it be easier to fight the monsters in the dungeon?
Sadly it was the latter.
“professor. Do you have any armor other than a cloak?”
“It interferes with magic.”
Professor Voladi said firmly.
It seemed that battle mages would prefer armor in a dangerous battlefield, but that was a prejudice.
The wizard had to do his best to focus on magic. The thick and heavy armor restricted the wizard’s movements and distracted him from concentration.
As much as the noise and chaos of the battlefield disturbed the wizard, it was good to prepare in advance.
‘…But isn’t life in danger?’
I could understand Professor Voladi’s words, but there was still something unresolved.
If you don’t wear armor, it’s good when you use magic…
but wouldn’t it be more lethal if you get hit by an attack?
“ah. Are you defending yourself with magic instead of wearing armor?”
If that was the case, it made sense.
Lee Han thought of a water shield magic that he could use. If you are an excellent mage, you will be able to use more diverse defensive magic.
Professor Voladi, who was walking away, turned his head again and looked at Lee Han.
“Using defensive magic interferes with other magic.”
“Then… how do you defend?”
“Avoid.”
“……”
Lee Han made up his mind.
No matter what Professor Voladi says, Lee Han decides to fight while using defensive magic.
‘I wondered when something with a lot of magic would be useful, but it’s useful at times like this.’
