Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 154
Chapter 154
When he heard the name Potion of Enemy Detection, the first thing that crossed Lee Han’s mind was, of course, the skeleton headmaster.
Aside from a simple emotional problem, being able to locate the headmaster of the skeleton was very helpful in survival.
‘I’ll be able to drink the potion whenever I do something dangerous.’
“An unsalted genius, Priestess Shiana, created by the Flemain Church. How can I choose a target?”
There were several ways to decide who to use a curse or potion on.
Recalling the opponent’s name or face, memorizing a spell, or finding an object related to that opponent…
The potion seemed likely to be the latter.
“All you have to do is put a strand of the target’s hair into the finished potion.”
“hair.”
“yes. It’s the hair.”
“……”
Lee Han fell into agony.
‘…Does Richie have hair too?’
No matter how you look at it, the skeleton principal had no hair.
I could have saved the hair from when I was alive, but considering the headmaster’s age, it must have already rotted and turned into powder.
‘I can’t use it on the skeleton headmaster.’
I’m sorry but I couldn’t help it.
Priestess Cyana continued, as if she was interested.
“If Lee Han of the Wardanaz family makes it, I will help.”
“But isn’t it a potion that is quite difficult to make by ourselves?”
“But Lee Han-nim of the Wodanaz family is someone who enjoys difficult challenges.”
“…huh?”
Lee Han hesitated.
Where do you get those crazy rumors?
‘Are the White Tiger Tower guys spreading it around?’
“It’s not?”
“Even modesty… haha.”
“Not really.”
A hint of bitterness emanated from Lee Han’s voice, but Priest Siana didn’t notice.
“Wardanaz. How can I finish here?”
“wait. Let’s finish it together.”
The friends who gathered to complete Professor Alpen’s magic circle called Lee Han.
Thanks to everyone’s help, the end of the magic circle was gradually in sight.
‘for a moment. It’s empty, isn’t it?’
Lee Han, who was drawing a line on the floor while looking at the book the professor gave him, hesitated.
Whether the professor made a mistake or did it on purpose, a part of the magic circle was empty.
Originally, spheres of light should appear at regular intervals on both sides of the hallway, and statues made of illusions should appear in the center… It
was clear that it would look awkward as few spheres of light did not appear.
‘Should I go and ask Professor Knighton?’
Lee Han was worried.
Asking the professor when something was wrong or unknown was more dangerous than I thought.
– You don’t know this? What the hell did you hear in my lecture?
-Are you saying I made a mistake? I’m really dumbfounded. Of course, I left it empty so that I could do this on my own.
Even if it was a mistake, even if it wasn’t a mistake, the reaction could be more violent than expected!
Of course, Professor Alpen didn’t look like a crazy person, but the other professors at the magic school all seemed normal at first.
After much thought, Lee Han made a decision.
‘I’ll have to solve it myself.’
It was fortunate that he received magic attribute training from Professor Bible Verdus.
…fortunately?
Lee Han shook off his thoughts and went back to his concentration.
“Look out. I’m going to < Endow Light >.”
The wand was swung and a spell cast.
The missing part of the magic circle was filled with the < Endow Light > magic cast by Lee Han.
The other students admired it, but the princess tilted her head.
The organic connection of the whole of this installation type magic circle was very important.
If the magical power source placed here and there in the magic circle serves as a battery, the complexly drawn lines of the magic circle serve as a passage through which power is transmitted.
However, the enchantment that Lee Han cast in place of the missing part of the magic circle was not connected to the entire magic circle.
Then the mana wouldn’t be transmitted?
Tuk-tuk-
The princess pointed to the corner of the magic circle to Lee Han. Lee Han immediately realized what the princess was trying to say.
“it’s okay.”
“…??”
Of course, Lee Han knew who prepared this magic circle.
However, the magic circle that Professor Alpen gave was not a level of difficulty that a mere freshman could fix or add to it.
then?
‘I only need to roll while watching people.’
In the first place, the purpose of the magic circle is to decorate the surroundings with splendid spheres of light and statues of fantasy.
As long as it was rolling properly while watching people, there was no problem.
“But isn’t it difficult to maintain for a long time?”
One of the princess’s followers asked curiously.
It was very difficult to increase the duration of enchantment magic.
Enchanting magic that lasts semi-permanently isn’t called an artifact for nothing.
If it was an enchantment magic cast with only a wand and a spell without any prior preparation like Lee Han, it was difficult to exceed a few minutes.
“okay. But don’t worry. I’m thinking of doing something new every day. Then there is nothing to turn off.”
“……”
“…???”
The princess and her followers became dazed because they couldn’t understand for a moment.
Either that or not, Lee Han called Asan.
“Asan. call the professor Before any other problems arise… No, I’ll show it to the professor after I finish it.”
“okay. Wodanaz!”
* * *
Professor Alpen Knighton, who is teaching < Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic > to new students at the Magic School, was moving along with his friend Kendry Baku.
As both of them were from high officials in the empire, they were not alone.
Behind them were other guests who came to the magic school.
“Are you from Valdrogard?”
“yes. I came here to see the outstanding students and prestigious education of Ein Rogard, and I am ashamed.”
The wizard who led the students of Baldrogard looked ashamed.
No matter how many guests came to see the festival, it would be a lie if there was no competition among other magic schools.
As a wizard working in Valdrogard, he wanted the students to show him something.
Alpen and Kendry, who read his mind, comforted him as if they were okay.
“The outstanding talent of a student does not come out because he is forced to show it urgently.”
“Alpen is right. You don’t have to worry about that. Waldrogard is already teaching the students well.”
Aside from some of Einrogard’s personality-breakers, the imperial officials had a fairly good opinion of Baldrogard.
The magicians of Einrogard…
-Gold… Two thousand seven hundred and eighty gold coins?? Whose nose are you going to put this on? If you won’t triple it, take it all! no! What if I really take it… Aigo!! The rotten spectator duck of that empire oppresses the free magic school tradition!!
In comparison, the mages of Valdrogard…
-I mean the imperial subsidies? it’s okay. I’m not poor, so I don’t need to be supported like that. We are nobles, not beggars. Please do not tarnish your reputation.
For this reason, the imperial officials had no choice but to like Baldrogard more.
It was natural for someone like Kendrie to think that Waldrogard’s education might have been more wholesome. Isn’t
Einrogard
ruining the character of wizards by being so preoccupied with magic?
“However, I am ashamed to show a poor performance against the 5th grade students of Einrogard. Of course, since the opponent is in the senior year, he may not be able to win, but he should be able to show a good image…” “
…?”
Alpen was puzzled.
The 5th graders didn’t come to the festival?
Kendry explained the situation to Alpen in a quick, low voice.
-Is Professor Bagreck a fan of Waldrogard?
-no. A disciple of Professor Bagreg.
-A first-year student?!
-Magic combat is separate from magic skills. If you don’t practice separately, you might be clumsy.
-No matter how different it is, even a first year student wouldn’t have had a chance to practice magic combat… -Let
‘s not hurt the people who came to enjoy the festival. Would it be good for the empire if the magic schools fought each other?
-That’s right.
The two nodded and decided to shut up.
“What did you talk about?”
“Nothing.”
I was about to change the topic, but a first-year student came running from afar.
He was the son of the Dalcard family.
“professor. I have completed what you said last time.”
“It was hard. Let’s go check it out now.”
Asan bowed his head and ran first. It was to tell friends that guests were coming soon.
Looking at the back of Asan, Professor Alpen hesitated.
“…hmm?”
“Why?”
“Didn’t you just say you finished it?”
“It did. I saw it the other day, but it made quite a lot of progress.”
“I didn’t give you to complete everything…”
Professor Alpen muttered as if he didn’t understand.
-I want to entrust you with making a simple magic circle.
He said he wanted to entrust the production of the magic circle, but he didn’t ask him to complete the magic circle.
In the first place, it was difficult to complete all of that at the freshman level.
That’s why Professor Alpen also told me to do my best to the extent possible with the help of other friends…
“Oh no. Was there a misunderstanding?”
“There was a misunderstanding.”
The imperial officials generously forgave them for their mistake, saying that they bent their arms inward.
“It would have been a rather good opportunity for the students.”
“That’s right. amazing I didn’t expect you to finish it…”
“Can I listen closely?”
The wizard of Valdrogard asked curiously.
When Professor Alpen explained what had happened, the wizard of Valdrogard praised Professor Alpen.
“Students can go further because the professor doesn’t set limits.”
“Your compliments make me feel ashamed!”
“ha ha ha!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The wizards laughed and complimented each other.
Waldrogard’s second-year students who arrived late asked puzzled.
“What are you doing?”
The wizard of Valdrogard explained the story he had heard.
The Waldrogard students then spoke in disbelief.
“A magic circle of that size so quickly?!”
“Nonsense! It must be incomplete!”
Aside from the difficulty of the magic circle, the speed was unbelievable.
Creating a magic circle wasn’t just about drawing shapes.
Since it is done by meticulously calculating the amount of magic power and testing it myself, even the wizards have to do it while collapsing several times due to lack of magic…
“That might be the case. But isn’t it amazing that even if it’s unfinished, it’s finished enough to show the professor?”
“Keuugh…”
“That’s… that’s right.”
The well-mannered students of Waldrogard had no choice but to concede.
Even if it was incomplete, it was a great thing that it was completed enough to be shown.
“Then, shall we all go to see each other?”
“yes. professor.”
The students of Valdrogard whispered as they pursued the older wizards.
“By the way, what grade did you do it in?”
“well…?”
* * *
The Waldrogard students who arrived in the classroom nodded immediately.
“They are fifth graders.”
“why?”
“That person over there. I was in 5th grade.”
“I see.”
The students looked at Lee Han’s face and nodded.
Rumors about Lee Han grew as Baldrogard’s third-year students were beaten harder and harder.
“wait for a sec. Isn’t that person… Princess Adenart?”
“The princess? Why?”
“I know you’re a year younger than us…?”
“Then you’re in first grade, right? You made it together with your senior year.”
It was not uncommon in Valdrogard for older students to practice magic together with their juniors.
Seniors get help from juniors.
Juniors learn from seniors.
This was the school tradition of the prestigious magic school.
‘Did you come to the 5th grade?’
Lee Han, who was sitting and resting, was puzzled by the word ‘fifth grade’ heard among the students outside.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 5th grader at Valdrogard…
“Mr. Wardanaz. Great.”
“thank you. professor.”
Lee Han politely bowed his head.
This moment of being acknowledged by the professor.
The more demanding the professor, the more glorious the moment.
“It wasn’t a task I was given to complete, but to complete it…” ”
…?”
“By the way, did you complete that part separately?”
“…wait a minute. “Professor, wait a minute.”
Lee Han interrupted the professor without realizing it.
what did you just say?
