Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 187
in episode 187,
Lee Han realized that his fingertips were trembling slightly.
I tried to stay calm, but the shock was great.
‘Anyway, isn’t this a bit too much?’
-Usually, the midterm exams of the lower grades end without much impact on the school, but the midterm exams of the upper grades… cause a lot of trouble.
What Diret said while eating red bean cake was as follows.
As the lower grades still had low magic skills, even if they made a mistake or had an accident while taking the test, the aftermath was not too big.
But the seniors were different.
As the scale of magic has grown so much, the consequences of making a mistake have become serious enough to affect the entire school.
– As a senior, can I do this to my juniors?
-If you feel unfair, become a senior and do the same. And it’s not something I want to do. It’s just that when multiple accidents overlap, unpredictable things happen.
Sometimes, due to overlapping summoning magics, the connection with the spirit realm where the lava spirits live became stronger, and the school became full of lava.
Also, there were times when the flow of magical power was entangled, so even if you used magic, a completely different magic came out.
– Of course I know you’re angry, junior. Think of revenge later and be careful.
-All right. We’ll stock up on supplies as much as possible and get artifacts to deal with in any situation. Tell the tower’s friends about this so that no damage will come out…
-That… I didn’t mean to professionally prepare for it, but it’s not bad.
After finishing the conversation with Diret, Lee Han returned to the tower (apologizing to Guinando) and prepared various things with his friends.
I went to the black market of the Black Turtle Tower, found useful artifacts, organized and calculated the supplies stored in the tower, and first picked up the edible things in the garden… But even so, I couldn’t help but feel confused
.
‘This week must be difficult.’
* * *
“It’s the worst Sunday ever.”
“This isn’t bread, is it a blunt weapon?”
The friends who received the bread and rice that came out in the morning were absurd.
Perhaps because of the cold, it was already hardened.
“Have you seen it outside? Originally, we had a snowball fight in this weather at the mansion…”
“Now is not the time to talk like that. If you don’t clear the accumulated snow, you won’t be able to get out the door.”
“Why don’t professors solve the problem?”
“That’s what the students did, so the students should solve it.”
“Wardanaz!”
The students who were holding black blunt tools or black bread with bleak expressions in the break room were delighted.
It was expected that Lee Han’s appearance would solve this problem.
“It’s a pity for everyone, but we don’t know when this snowstorm will end. Planting materials from the garden won’t be available for a while. It’s a sparing diet for a while.”
“…!”
“don’t worry. Wodanaz. We are also Ein Rogard students. I won’t make weak noises just because I’m hungry.”
“That’s right, Wordanaz!”
Lee Han was slightly worried about his friends’ overconfidence.
‘These bastards are quite greedy.’
The other towers lived hungry in the first place, but the blue dragon tower was in a state of being very picky thanks to Lee Han.
Are you okay?
“Today’s dish is canned beans.”
“…Can we open some more canned food? Should I only eat beans?”
“no. Savings.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students looked depressed at the thought of eating hard bread with canned beans.
Fortunately, however, Lee Han was not so cold-hearted that he would just open a can of beans and put it in a bowl.
Lee Han put onions and garlic mushrooms he had picked from the garden the day before in a pan and fried them with beans and oil.
Then, I opened another canned food, added tomatoes, onions, and garlic, boiled it generously, and seasoned it with salt and pepper.
The faces of the Blue Dragon Tower students brightened slightly. The expressionless face of the princess sitting next to her showed a slight hint of admiration.
breakfast time.
The meal was delicious even though it started snowing again outside.
“Wardanaz. I think we should all work together.”
“that’s right. You have to give instructions.”
At the words of his friends, Lee Han was lost in thought.
The Blue Dragon Tower students were right.
The situation was so huge that it was difficult to respond unless we joined forces.
What should I do first?
“You have to clear the snow in front of the tower. If you don’t clean up, you won’t even be able to attend lectures.”
“Couldn’t the professors also take that into account?”
“No way.”
“Absolutely not.”
At the complacency someone had uttered, the friends looked serious and shook their heads.
“And isn’t the coat now a spring coat? If I go out, I will freeze to death.”
At Lee Han’s words, the faces of his friends became serious.
Certainly, because of the spring weather, I didn’t even think of such a cold situation…
“I did prepare thick winter clothes just in case. I didn’t expect to be using it already… but let’s eat and make a coat first.”
“???”
“????”
My friends nodded and paused.
…why did you prepare it?
“Wardanaz. Did you know something like this would happen?”
“no.”
“But how…?”
“I bought it because I thought I might have a use for the thick fabric.”
“As expected, Wodanaz. Even with a 1% chance, you can’t be vigilant.”
Asan said with an admiring expression. Of course, some students were still wondering, ‘I’m lucky, but do I have to go that far?’
“Let’s make as many cold-weather items as possible. Among the artifacts, there must be something useful.”
The strength of the magic school was that incomplete artifacts rolled around like stones on the side of the road.
“The lantern trapped in this frost fog must be a bit ambiguous in the current situation, right?”
“Put it in a corner.”
After the meal, the friends took out the thick cloth and started looking for something useful among the artifacts.
And Lee Han wore a ring and a bracelet necklace one by one.
With a clicking sound, the accessories of flame absorption emitted power.
“Open the door and get out of the way.”
“Wardanaz. I trust you…”
“Ahsan. Get out of the way before you get hit.”
“I know.”
Asan grumbled and distanced himself.
You said you would believe me, but why?
‘I didn’t want to play with fire near the tower, but I can’t help it.’
When he opened the door to the tower connected to the resting room, a storm of cold and snow piled up greeted Lee Han.
I couldn’t go to lecture tomorrow through this. I had to break through now.
‘Melting!’
“Burn up!”
Roaring!
Flames began to rise with the incantation.
Lee Han was surprised.
‘what?’
Controlling the flames was overwhelmingly easier than usual.
If the usual flame magic felt like grabbing the reins of a rampaging wild horse and somehow dragging it away, the current flame magic was like a well-tamed horse.
‘ there’s no way my skills have increased genius in the meantime. It’s because of the environment.’
There was also an advantage given by the harsh conditions of a snowstorm.
As much as the magical power spread out in nature is affected by the environment, the power of flame magic was bound to shrink in this situation.
To be honest, it was a little lighter for a wizard like Lee Han, who had to be careful because he was afraid to use fire magic once, kicking various sealing spheres in fear of an accident.
Roaring!
Lee Han began to melt the eyes by floating flames all over the place.
“I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing that it’s snowing like this.”
“What nonsense are you talking about, Wodanaz.”
“Don’t make silly jokes. It’s already cold enough.”
“……”
Lee Han kept his mouth shut.
Did you mean something like that?
“Wardanaz. Shouldn’t you get some rest?”
“It’s still okay.”
“Wardanaz. I think you should rest.”
“It’s still okay. Let’s do a little more.”
“Wodhanaz…”
“Are you okay?”
“no. It’s all melted…”
“Ah. Right.”
Lee Han raised his head.
Thanks to working all morning, I had a way out to some extent.
When I looked back, my friends were throwing their eyes in astonishment.
‘Is it because of the snowstorm?’
“I’m going to visit Professor Thunderwalker’s hut. I need to get what’s left over from the garden.”
“Leehan! I made a potion, so take it!”
Yoner, who was making potions with other friends inside the fireplace in the break room, gestured.
The cold resistance potion was boiling in the pot.
Asan lifted a potion bottle and took a sip.
“and. Do you feel like your stomach is burning?”
“Moon card. It’s a drink made from ingredients. I haven’t filled the cold resistance potion yet.”
* * *
Professor Thunderwalker cleared the snow near the cabin with magic, then sat inside and sipped his coffee leisurely.
Thanks to the heavy snowfall, it felt calm and cozy everywhere.
‘Not bad.’
It wasn’t bad if this was an accident.
Isn’t it much more atmospheric than a creepy monster in the shadow dimension running rampant?
bang!
“professor! Give me some leftovers!”
Professor Thunderwalk was frightened and almost spilled coffee.
no how?!
“How did you break through when the snow is piled up like this?!”
“I melted it with fire.”
“There’s no way it could be possible with such an ignorant method… I guess.”
Professor Thunderwalker, who was speaking, nodded.
It was possible enough for the disciple in front of me.
He was a man whose magic power seemed to flow as if it were infinite…
“Still, I managed to think of making a road with fire magic in this weather. Fire magic won’t work well.”
“It was rather good.”
“?”
“?”
After listening to the explanation, I could understand what the thunder step was talking about.
‘A monstrous guy…!’
It wasn’t surprising, of course, that I understood.
How much mana surges do you mean that it is better to use flame magic in this kind of weather?
Even with multiple control artifacts like that!
“…Wait. Bring me something to eat.”
Even as a disciple with monstrous talent, it was a bit salty as a teacher to see him come all the way through this blizzard and collect the remaining ingredients.
Professor Wooregeol prepared leftover vegetables, eggs, smoked or pickled sausages, and ham and cheese.
“Will the garden be unusable?”
“If you have a conscience, look at the snow you have piled up on the garden…”
“Even though it’s a tree spirit’s staff?”
“Even if it’s not a tree spirit, but the staff of an ancestor of a tree spirit, it’s okay…”
Professor Thunderwalk was taken aback by the disciple’s unconscionable remarks one after another.
No matter how much life-raising wands were, if there were any vegetables that could survive the heavy snow like now, they were not vegetables, but plant-type monsters.
“Don’t talk too much about your pain, look at the positive side.”
“What nonsense are you talking about, Professor? It’s already cold enough, so you can make such a lame joke?”
Forgetting what he said to his friends earlier, Lee Han remained serious.
While trying to scold Professor Thunder Walk, he remembered that his pupil was excellent at swordsmanship and combat.
The professor graciously forgave and set out to explain.
“Of course, life will be a bit uncomfortable.”
“It will be very uncomfortable.”
“…okay. It will be very inconvenient. However, it will be an opportunity to practice magic that I have not been able to handle before.”
“hmm. Well, in the case of blood magic, I was careful because I thought it would cause a lot of damage to the surrounding area, but if the snow piled up like this, it seems to act as a buffer.”
“Why does blood magic appear?! I mean the cold elements and spirits!”
Professor Thunderwalk was startled by the disciple’s mad voice.
“ah. Indeed, I will.”
“okay. When the magical power of nature is concentrated in one direction, the distance from the invisible world becomes closer. It wouldn’t be strange if the spirits of cold air came out of the spirit realm and roamed around. Not to mention the cold element.”
This eccentric climate gave me an opportunity to practice difficult elements that I wouldn’t normally encounter.
The cold was just that.
“As you are quite good with the water element, there is a high possibility that you are also well suited to cold weapons.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han was delighted.
Eating it raw has always been a pleasure.
“okay. Call for water now. You will probably understand right away what I mean.”
The magic of the cold air that is full of nature has affected the wizard’s magic.
If you bring in water now, you will surely…
“Spring up!”
Professor Thunderwalker cursed inwardly at the appearance of a lump of water springing up as usual without freezing or shrinking.
Talented guys had a hard time teaching them like this.
“Now. How are the cold and water attributes related…”
“Aren’t you using the water you just brought in?”
“…listen quietly.”
“yes. All right.”
