Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 186
Chapter 186
‘Oops. The opponent wasn’t Cainando.’
Lee Han realized it belatedly and regretted it.
No matter how bad the princess was in eating dessert, she wasn’t good enough to eat dog cake.
But the hand had already moved. Lee Han knew the best way to do this.
“indeed. It was an artifact endowed with poison detection and detoxification capabilities.”
The silver spoon that touched the poison cake created smoke, just like when the detection magic was applied earlier.
At the same time, the color of the smoke slowly changed. It was evidence that detoxification was progressing little by little.
The princess blinked a few times to get out of her embarrassment, then tried to open her mouth with her eyelids quivering.
I don’t know what will come out, but nothing good will come out.
“We need to get out quickly. Let’s go!”
Lee Han turned around and moved without giving her a chance before the princess’ anger exploded coldly.
Seeing Lee Han lead the conversation before clearing up the misunderstanding, the princess reacted one beat late.
“Now what…”
“Come on!”
Lee Han pretended not to hear and hurriedly ran out.
The princess glared at his back as if it were absurd.
* * *
When I came out of the tower, the friends who entered first were sitting in a mess.
Anrago was covered in dust and dirt, and his clothes were almost rags.
Salco was soaked from head to toe, as if he had just taken a swim.
Most of my other friends were similarly out of shape.
Among such friends, Lee Han and the princess, who were all alone, stood out.
…you picked the wrong challenge.
Headmaster Skeleton muttered as if he was very sorry.
Come to think of it, that kind of poison wouldn’t have had much effect on that boy from the Wardanaz family.
Lucky for you to pick something like that!
“Wardanaz. What kind of challenge did you do so well?”
Angrago asked in a voice mixed with envy and envy. Lee Han said calmly.
“It looks fine on the outside, but the challenge I entered was a very dangerous challenge. It was a challenge to eat poison.”
“!”
“…!”
At those words, the faces of the friends changed.
It’s a challenge to eat poison.
Hearing the words, the challenge they entered suddenly felt better.
“That… I’m sorry. Wodanaz. I said something rude.”
Anrago said in a very apologetic voice. Lee Han nodded as if he was okay.
“This can be happen. I understand.”
“……”
……
The princess and the skeleton headmaster looked at Lee Han as if he was absurd.
Such shameless…!
How about taking on another level? If it is you, it may be possible enough.
“no. principal. I am just ashamed that you rate me that way.”
‘Such a nasty bastard.’
‘I will never go.’
* * *
A golden weekend afternoon.
The Blue Dragon Tower students lined up all over the lounge, enjoying the long-awaited peace.
Even the princess was talking with her followers.
However, Lee Han stood up after filling the basket with rice balls and rice cakes, and several bottles of beverages to drink.
“Where are you going? library?”
Yoner was puzzled.
I wondered if there was only enough food to go out exploring or the library.
Of course, going to the library on a day like today was strange enough, but it was possible with Lee Han.
“I’m going to give you a snack.”
“……”
Yoner was at a loss for words.
That far…!?
“Isn’t it necessary to do that?”
“That’s how you can get it for a higher price.”
“Leehan… You seem so kind.”
“Did you not hear what I just said?”
“Even considering that, it’s a good thing.”
Yihan was puzzled by Yoner’s words.
Why is this good?
Less!
A cool aura wafted from the entrance to the punishment room. Even though it was still spring, it was cold as if it were another season.
‘It’s a place I really don’t want to come to.’
It was clear that it was not simply because it was a punishment room, but because it was magical for some reason.
Otherwise, there was no way I could have heard such a strong ominous sound.
‘Well, with the skeleton principal’s personality, there’s no way I’ll let the students escape…’
Even if they were locked in the punishment room, if they succeeded in escaping, they would be innocent, but that wasn’t the rule for the students.
It was a rule for the pleasure of Headmaster Skeleton.
The other day, Lee Han, who had been wandering around to escape from the depths of the punishment room to the ground, sensed the size of this punishment room.
Knock-
“Are you there?”
Silence.
Knock-
“Are you there?”
“…creak. Kreuleup. gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
“Excuse me a lot.”
Lee Han immediately moved to the next room.
I knocked on the door several times to find the trapped students, but I soon realized that Lee Han would not be easy.
‘Damn it. It seems to be in a fairly deep place.’
I knew the punishment room was big, but I still thought that the failed freshman would be near the entrance.
But it didn’t seem like it.
‘The punishment room information is too lacking. Comparing it to what I recorded the last time I escaped is… unreasonable. I called Perkuntra last time, so I won’t be able to call her for a while.’
As Lee Han went down the stairs down the hallway, he thought that if he couldn’t find it again, he would have to think of another way.
Knock-
“Are you there?”
“who is this?”
“!”
Surprisingly, a human voice came from inside. The same student was evident.
“Are you a student?”
“hey. I don’t know what grade you are in, but if you don’t want to meet me later and be cursed, don’t mess around and turn it off… Wait a minute.”
Diete paused.
The voice outside sounded quite familiar.
At that moment, a flash came to Diret’s mind.
“!”
When I entered the punishment room the other day, the freshman who came into the next room and said a ridiculous story.
And a freshman who came to Professor Mortum’s Hall of Darkness to learn black magic.
Lastly, during the midterm exam, a freshman who was tricked by the professors’ flattery and recklessly added lectures without knowing his own ruin.
These three freshmen merged into one.
“…you! is it you!? Is it you?!?”
‘Am I crazy?’
Lee Han flinched.
It was like that before, but being locked up in the punishment room was not necessarily a normal student.
Maybe a monster pretending to be a student…
“You’re a freshman from the Wodanaz family, aren’t you? Now, before the midterm exams, I already chose elemental magic, black magic, summoning magic, and fantasy magic, took the test, and escaped through an underground passage in the first week, and was caught!”
“!”
This time, it was Lee Han’s turn to be surprised.
The wizards at the magic school were truly amazing.
‘Am I going to have the ability to see through opponents even in the punishment room when I’m in the senior year?’
“How?”
“What and how? I know because I was in the room next to you the other day and participated to help Professor Mortum during the midterm exam.”
“ah…! Was it him?”
Lee Han recalled the senior in the room next to the punishment room, whose face he did not yet know.
He was a kind person in many ways.
He told me about the existence of Spire Stables (although he took snacks as a bribe), advised him to listen to the lecture moderately (though he didn’t listen), and told him to be comfortable… That person was him
.
“for a moment. Could it be that you have been imprisoned from then until now?”
“it’s crazy? Of course, I went out and came back.”
An awkward silence prevailed.
For a moment, Lee Han thought, ‘What the hell is this senior doing, is he always in the punishment room?’
And Diret saw through that thought.
“Junior. Did you think that I am always in the punishment room, what am I doing?”
“Could that be? Seniors.”
“Why are you suddenly showing respect?”
“Actually, I value manners.”
‘I don’t think so.’
Considering the skill of bringing food to the punishment room the other day, there was a very high possibility that the junior was from the Black Turtle Tower.
‘…huh? for a moment. You’re from the Wardanaz family, but the Black Turtle Tower?’
Dereth tilted her head.
Something was strange.
“okay. If you’re learning black magic, it’s okay to treat me as a senior. and you owe me Junior.”
“The stable was grateful.”
“Not that! During midterms!”
“?”
When Lee Han didn’t notice the sacrifice of his senior, Diret felt unfair.
Of course, it was the skeleton headmaster who was at fault, but the human heart wasn’t that sharp.
“wait for a sec. Come to think of it, junior, I warned you when you were in the punishment room the other day?!”
When Diret’s memory came back, he felt many times more unfair than before.
-If you have abilities like yours, many professors will covet it, so you better be careful.
Didn’t I warn you in advance in the punishment room?
If this junior had heeded the warning, Diret wouldn’t have been dragged into the punishment room like this.
“Ah… that warning? Of course I am listening.”
“A junior who listens attentively does such a thing?!”
Diret couldn’t be more foolish.
If that’s what you listened to, what did you ignore? Did you take the previous lecture?
“no. Seniors. Thank you for your concern, but I have made my own calculations and listened rationally.”
“…Tell me about that rational calculation. Let’s listen.”
Lee Han calmly explained his field of choice to his senior.
First, I chose black magic because it suited my aptitude, summoning magic because it was useful in many ways, I decided to learn illusion magic because I needed it, and I thought about enchantment magic, but I decided to learn it because it suited my aptitude and Professor Garcia recommended it…
” for a moment. Junior. enchantment?? Don’t you listen to the enchantment after the midterm exam???”
“ah. It was by chance that I met the professor first.”
“Oh… you don’t have to worry about dying from overwork by chance?”
“You don’t have to worry. I have everything under control.”
Despite Direth’s sarcasm, Lee Han answered confidently.
However, from Diret’s point of view, Lee Han was walking the path of Professor Garcia.
Asura’s way to listen to all magic fields since freshman!
First of all, a freshman with a normal mindset basically thinks, ‘Can I learn this well? hmm. no. It must be too hard” and braked.
However, the junior in front of me said, ‘Can I learn this well? hmm. But since it suits my aptitude and is useful, should I just learn this?
‘ Be really careful. really really be careful really really really okay?”
“Thank you for your concern. Seniors.”
‘I don’t think this kid will listen to me.’
For some reason, Dirett had such a premonition.
“Seniors. I brought some snacks, would you like some?”
“what? Forage? …are you really from the Wodanaz family??”
Diret couldn’t help but be surprised at this skill of a first-year freshman visiting the punishment room with a snack.
And what was even more surprising was the quality of the food they brought.
It wasn’t the hard black bread or the hardened rice balls that freshmen usually eat.
Soft red bean cake on a rice ball made from freshly cooked rice. Until crispy yukgwa.
how…?
‘Oops. Gainan even gave food to them.’
Lee Han decided to make an excuse that he had been taken away by the skeleton headmaster.
“…I don’t know anything else, but the 3rd graders will really like you.”
“Is that so?”
“okay. I have seen many juniors, but I have never seen a junior like you.”
After taking a bite of rice cake, Diret hesitated before opening his mouth.
It was too hearty and delicious to just send it away.
The punishment room period could have been extended, but I couldn’t say no.
“Junior. Midterms are over.”
“yes.”
“be careful.”
“I am always careful.”
“…great. That’s a very good posture. But what I’m saying is, be a little more careful. School usually goes crazy after midterms.”
‘Can I go back more crazy from here?’
* * *
The next day.
Lee Han got out of bed and opened the window of his private room.
‘It’s strangely cold?’
The pure white snow covered half of the first floor of the tower.
Lee Han nodded calmly.
“Hmm. I could have gone crazy more.”
