Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 145
Chapter 145
There are several conditions for the highly regarded endowment magic.
For example, neatness.
When the scroll was ripped, it didn’t take a long time to cast or cause other effects, and it was neat to activate the set effect accurately.
This kind of neatness came out only when the wizard did not add useless superfluous things when weaving and inserting the structure of the spell.
Another example is beauty.
It might seem strange to place beauty on magic, but it was more important than I thought.
Even for the same artifact, a small and light ring would be better than a large, dark lump of metal.
Of course, weaving magic into a small, lightweight ring required several times more delicate and complicated work than casting magic into a large, dark piece of metal.
The magicians who did not give up on this difficult process were those who pursued beauty in endowment magic.
And one of those conditions also had an output.
In endowment magic, output was a key factor.
Even if it was a scroll containing the same magic, if one had an effect of 80 and the other had an effect of 100, there would be no reason to use the former.
As such, endowment mages tried to pursue the maximum output in possible situations.
Of course, like the other conditions, this wasn’t something that could be done with effort.
Some enchantment wizards instinctively know how to produce strong output, but some enchantment wizards, no matter how hard they try, cannot deliver more than a certain amount of output.
And now.
The boy in front of Professor Bibble had no other talents, but he excelled in one output.
“That’s great?!”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han knew that he had failed.
The light was brighter than expected.
“no. Really great!”
“Did you make it that well?”
“It is not well made. In fact, the workmanship is terrible.”
Professor Bible was adamant.
An excellent enchantment wizard would have completed the light magic firecrackers quickly and without trial and error.
And the light that bursts out must have been decorated in a more colorful way or decorated in a different form.
…Of course, Lee Han was still in the first year and Professor Bibble hadn’t taught him properly, and he even had a lot of natural magic, so he was at a very disadvantage in that part of endowment magic… but that fact had long since disappeared from the
professor’s mind.
“Is that so?”
“But even with those flaws, you have certain strengths! The output is very good.”
Professor Bible was excited and kept talking about stories that only he knew.
When creating artifacts, there are things like aesthetics, neatness, delicacy, complexity, etc. Among them, output is a very important thing…
‘Let’s think happy thoughts’.
Lee Han calmed down and thought of happy thoughts.
Then, even though Professor Bible kept talking about stories that only he knew, he was able to endure it with a smile.
Professor Bibble was a man who could talk for hours on the stories he liked.
And Lee Han was a person who could endure hours of conversations that only the professor knew.
When the two met, the conversation continued uninterrupted.

“…That’s why endowment magic is fun. Is it fun?”
“yes. It was really fun.”
“very good! I didn’t know that Gonadaltes would give me a gift like this!”
Professor Bieber was very pleased with the response of the extraordinary freshman.
Enchantment magic was a really fun world, but unfortunately, most of the students were unaware of this fun.
However, the student in front of me seemed to know the fun even though his talent was a bit lacking.
I will listen so intently
That was enough.
“It was meant to be fun. yes? What if you don’t have any talent? As long as it’s fun, it stays.”
‘hmm. Will the enchantment magic pass?’
Lee Han thought to himself as he listened to Professor Bible.
Although the enchantment magic was coveted, it could be dangerous to forcefully add it if it did not fit well.
As Professor Garcia warned, if you try to learn too many magics together, life becomes tiring.
Listening to the professor’s words, it doesn’t seem like it fits so well with endowment magic…
The only positive thing was that the professor was cute, so I had to make a cold-hearted decision.
“Then Professor. I want to have fun making fireworks.”
Having made up his mind, Lee Han spoke politely.
Since a rough estimate came out, it seemed like the only thing that needed to be done quickly was to get out of the clutches of the Headmaster Skeleton.
‘The headmaster of the skeleton won’t want any artistry on the magic firecrackers, so I have to give them the minimum amount of magic quickly.’
“okay. Are your fingers itching to make it?”
“yes.”
“Let’s start quickly!”
“I’ll start by making light magic firecrackers.”
Lee Han learned to make familiar magic firecrackers first.
A new light magic firecracker was created with less trial and error than before.
Then Professor Bible shook his head.
“no. no.”
“yes? Was there a mistake in casting?”
Lee Han took a magic firecracker and looked it over.
I didn’t feel like I made any mistakes.
Was there a mistake that Lee Han didn’t notice, but the professor could notice?
“You’re too bored.”
“…professor. In fact, I like boring firecrackers.”
“no. then it’s no fun It’s because you don’t know the other way now. It will definitely be more fun doing it in a different way.”
Professor Biblé held his hand and pulled him so that his student who liked enchantment could have more fun.
Isn’t fun more important than talent?
In addition, the disciple had the advantage of output.
If you make use of that advantage, the enchantment magic will be more fun.
‘It feels ominous.’
Of course, Lee Han was feeling a bit ominous.
“ruler. It’s not just about exploding light magic, it’s about transforming the form of light and then maintaining it. Can you see this engraved enchantment pattern? Can you feel anything?”
“It’s based on light magic… it’s like magic that transforms and maintains its form… but is it in the form of an animal?”
Feeling the pattern of the enchantment magic hanging on the paper and the flow of mana, and guessing what kind of magic it was, was something only a wizard with a very keen intuition could do.
But Professor Bible was so preoccupied with the story he wanted to tell that he didn’t notice it at all.
“okay. that’s right! A cute and simple animal. Wouldn’t it be more fun if it appeared?”
“…yes. It does.”
Lee Han was resentful of his mouth moving in the opposite way to his instincts.
But what?
The opponent is a professor…
‘Still, if it’s a cute and simple animal, it won’t be too difficult. thank god.’
Lee Han thought of a simple monster like a slime.
I think something like that would be easier to maintain with light…
“What animal is it?”
“Dragon.”
“…Dragon.”
“Dragon. It’s cute and simple.”
Professor Bibble memorized the spell while flamboyantly waving his staff as if to demonstrate.
Just looking at the intricately twisted and entangled flow of magical power, it seemed that I could understand how complex and delicate the structure of that magic was.
Growing, stretching, pulling, twisting, dragging, twisting and weaving the shape of light…
Lee Han thought he had done everything he could to control the elements while fighting Professor Voladi for his life, but seeing Professor Bible, he realized that wasn’t the case.
The world of magic was truly infinitely wide.
‘…The problem is that the wide world is forcibly coming to me.’
Will he be able to perform the light magic that creates the dragon form to Lee Han’s level?
* * *
Surprisingly, he managed to do it.
“good job! good job! Was it fun?”
Professor Bible said with a bright smile. Lee Han had the urge to punch Professor Bieber in the snout.
Professor Bible didn’t get angry, didn’t curse, and didn’t press Lee Han.
It’s just that whenever Lee Han fails, ‘Have you failed? Why? Aww. It’s not difficult…’ he muttered.
It didn’t take long for Lee Han to realize that no compromise or bargain was possible with Professor Lee Bieber.
“ruler. pull it! pull it!”
Lee Han was so exhausted that it was difficult for him to respond properly. As the professor told me to, I pulled the finished firecracker.
phut!
A dragon composed of lumps of light appeared vaguely above the workshop.
Although it was still crude and rough, anyone could tell that it was a dragon.
Professor Bible took out his pocket watch and timed it as soon as Lee Han pulled the magic firecracker.
“What are you measuring?”
“duration.”
“How long does it actually go?”
“Originally, it disappears as soon as it explodes.”
“…oh.”
Hearing that, Lee Han felt a little proud.
I didn’t get the feeling that I was doing particularly well while doing the enchantment, but one duration came out quite well.
Of course, even taking that into consideration, granting magic was much harder than I thought.
To be precise, Professor Bibble was having a hard time, but anyway…
‘We have to finish the firecrackers quickly and run away.’
i came
The Skeleton Principal is back.
Then, looking at the situation in the studio, I blinked.
A light dragon floating in the air.
Professor Bibble asked me to make magic firecrackers, so why are you trying useless art?
‘Did I give you too much time?’
How quickly did you make the fireworks? And why did you bring it up?
“Didn’t I?”
what?
“I didn’t. He did it here.”
……
The Headmaster Skeleton was at a loss for words in his absurdity. It was truly rare for a Skeleton Headmaster, a rich among seasoned riches.
I didn’t know where to start pointing it out.
When I told them to make magic firecrackers, I wonder if they teach fantasy magic of crazy difficulty, won’t the learners do it again… I
told them to make magic firecrackers!
“This is made of magic fireworks.”
…for a moment! Why doesn’t that disappear again?
Headmaster Skeleton belatedly realized that the dragon made of light was not disappearing.
There was only one reason.
It was because of the peculiar constitution of the boy from the Wardanaz family.
done. I was stupid for putting the two together.
“You are always like that. are you okay.”
So, are the magic firecrackers complete?
“Uh…”
Professor Bible hesitated.
He had spent all his time trying to complete the one magic firecracker he had just shot.
Headmaster Skeleton immediately grasped the situation even without Professor Bibble saying anything.
…Are you still a professor?!
“I’m sorry. I will definitely make it next time.”
What’s next! And every time… you do that even though you know it on purpose!
When the sparks flew on him, Lee Han felt very unfair.
Because of someone, I was repeating the enchantment magic infinitely during the festival…!
“principal. Think about it. Why would I want to challenge myself with such a high-difficulty masterpiece magic firecracker instead of making normal magic firecrackers?”
That’s definitely true.
“why? It’s so much fun, but of course you want to try it, don’t you?”
Lee Han and Principal Skeleton pretended not to hear Professor Bibble at the same time.
The skeleton principal clicked his tongue in disapproval and said.
done. I can’t help it, so I’m going back today.
“Gonadaltes! I need to send that disciple back! He likes enchantment magic!”
You should reflect! When will you remember what I said!
Seeing the headmaster lead him out of the tower, Lee Han felt the principal’s reassurance for the first time.
“thank you.”
Yes. But I will send it again tomorrow.
“……”
