Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 192
Chapter 192
“Yes?”
“What are you talking about?”
The Blue Dragon Tower students looked at Professor Lightningwalk as if he was saying something.
– We are close!
That made Professor Lightning Strike even more bewildered.
“Look! Aren’t you trembling!”
“uh? Weren’t you shivering because it was cold?”
“……”
Of course, making them listen with fear was one of the ways to tame them.
If it was an urgent situation, I had to scare him so that he would listen to me, as there was no time to get close.
But now was not the time for that.
And if you tame it like that in the first place, wouldn’t the snow lizard run away unconditionally when there is no Yihan?
They told me to hold out during the blizzard, but if I lost it in one day, that would be absurd.
“Be friendly like the Black Turtle Tower students over there. Stop being scared!”
“It’s strange… I thought we became close.”
“Weren’t we friends?”
Despite the Blue Dragon Tower students’ questions, the snow lizard hiccupped and rolled its eyes.
Professor Lee Han shook his head and called out to Lee Han.
“You come here.”
“It’s not my fault, but…”
“I know. But things in the world are sometimes unreasonable.”
Even Professor Lee Han knew that he hadn’t done anything wrong.
It wasn’t Lee Han’s fault that he was frightened and trembled at the mere approach of a snow lizard that was sensitive to magic.
But the world is sometimes unreasonable.
Since this happened, Lee Han had to stay apart.
“sorry. Next time, I’ll bring a monster that is insensitive to magical power.”
“oh. Is there such a thing?”
“…it’s not there, but it might take some time to get it.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at his friends who were imitating snow lizards with sullen faces.
Professor Lightning Step comforted Lee Han, perhaps feeling sorry.
“Still, isn’t it a little better since you don’t do such ridiculous things?”
“professor. I can hear everything.”
* * *
After the lecture, the students returned to the tower with the snow lizard they had become friends with.
Papa papa papa!
The snow lizard made its way in an instant through the snow piled up like a mountain.
Professor Lightning Walk took Lee Han to the cabin as if he was still a little sorry.
“Don’t worry too much. You can’t be friendly with all monsters. It’s because the snow lizard is timid and sensitive to magical powers. Monsters that are insensitive to magical power and fearless will not have this kind of thing.”
“That kind of guy isn’t very rare…”
Professor Lightningstep kicked his nephew in the shin under the table. Thunderstruck Professor bit his beard and screamed inwardly.
“Bring something to drink.”
“Yes…”
Professor Woorestep opened the lid of the jar of milk, warmed it up, and mixed the tea.
With an expressionless face, Lee Han slipped the warm scone bread into his coat pocket.
“The snow lizard won’t last very long. When the blizzard stops, there is nothing to see.”
“When will it end? this week?”
“Uh…”
“Um…”
The two professors hesitated.
Lee Han suddenly became anxious.
Surely you don’t have to go through a snowstorm for the rest of the semester, right?
“Because the students have to solve it.”
“…seniors, but won’t you solve it well?”
“That’s um…”
The two dwarf professors continued to blurt out their words.
Lee Han still seemed to believe that he was a senior, but the reality was a little different.
As the grade level went up, the students’ skills improved.
And the quality and quantity of work that students have to do has increased.
What if a heavy snowfall accident occurs at school in such a situation?
-There’s a snowstorm, but I’m not too uncomfortable.
-There’s a snowstorm, but I’m okay, so I’m going to start with a magic experiment today and think about it.
…a similar procrastination was likely to occur.
‘no way.’
Lee Han noticed an ominous sign in the attitudes of the two dwarf professors.
‘Are seniors procrastinating?’
Originally, it is a human habit to procrastinate if it is not urgent.
Lee Han, who realized the truth, was furious.
‘What year did the accident happen so irresponsibly!’
“But if I wait, won’t it be resolved someday?”
“What if I can’t?”
“If it doesn’t work… the only thing you can do is to solve it yourself, right?”
“If you solve it yourself, the professor in charge will rate it highly.”
Lee Han was speechless at the absurd remarks of the two professors.
How can a freshman solve a problem that the seniors made an accident while taking an exam?
“That’s what you’re saying now…”
“Yes. From what I can see, it was a bit harsh.”
“Let’s agree together.”
Professor Thunderwalk grumbled. Lightningwalker said with a shrug.
“But there is nothing wrong with what we said. If the seniors are lazy, there is no other way than to take matters into their own hands.”
“Don’t really step out and try to solve it. I don’t know what kind of accident the seniors got into, but it won’t be easy to solve.”
Professor Wooregeol warned me just in case.
I didn’t look closely, but the scale of the magic must be considerable for an accident like this to happen.
It was not something a freshman would set out to solve.
“What do you think of me… do you think I would be reckless in such a thing?”
“huh.”
“I see.”
“……”
Lee Han was slightly hurt by the two dwarf professors’ reactions.
Why is this misunderstanding?
“no.”
“okay. i get it. I’ll trust you, so pack some snacks and go home. really. Even if you return to the tower, don’t come close to the snow lizard.”
“And don’t be tempted by rewards. There is no reason to jump in to receive a reward from the professor in charge. Just wait for the seniors to solve it.”
“ah. Because I know.”
Lee Han grumbled and opened the cabin door and stepped out.
The two dwarf professors looked behind them and muttered.
“Don’t you think you’re going to jump in anyway?”
“I guess so.”
To the two dwarf professors, Lee Han already seemed like a freshman who had devoted half of his life to magic.
Even if you say no, in the end, you will step forward because of your inquisitive mind for magic!
‘Should have been dried harder…’

Evening.
The students who had gathered for the additional lecture on black magic played hard with quills in Professor Mortum’s workshop.
The 2nd circle magic < Summon Bone Restraints > is a higher version of the 1st circle magic < Summon Bone Hand >.
Also, < Low Curse of Silence >, < Low Darkness Curse >, < Low Fracture Curse >, etc.
And that wasn’t all.
If you go to the poison class, there are several kinds of poisons besides < Generation of acid poison >.
If you go to the summoning system, not only bones but also various undead summons.
It was this much even though he had not yet learned the dark magic, which is the essence of death and negative energy.
I could see the eyes of Kainando next to me spinning round and round. Raphael also shook his head and groaned.
“Coke. Of course, I am not teaching you to learn everything now.”
Kainando’s face brightened.
“Coke. But if you want to study black magic in earnest next year, you’d better master one or two of these. As the world of black magic is vast, it requires choice and concentration.”
Gainando’s face darkened.
“Coke… Ah. These idiots made the school even colder…”
Professor Mortum coughed and put on a nervous expression.
Lee Han suddenly became curious and asked.
“Professor, do you know the reason for this accident?”
“Coke. okay. One of my students was involved in the accident.”
“!”
Lee Han had to work hard to manage his facial expression at the moment.
There was nothing good about showing an expression of hatred for the same studio senior.
“I see… how did such an unfortunate accident happen?”
“It’s because the kids are greedy.”
Professor Mortum gave a brief explanation with a cough.
One major in black magic, one major in summoning magic (elemental spirits), and one major in ancient magic.
– Found a spirit spell in the ruins! It’s incomplete, but if we restore it well, the Imperial Summoning World will be our stage this year! Ancient magic expert, I need your help!
-This looks like the Olodel school style. Black magic mixed in. Let’s call a black magic specialist.
– Did you call? for a moment. Isn’t this summoning spell incomplete? What do you call someone with something like this?
-don’t worry. The incomplete part was completed with replacement spells. look. is it stable?
-But as an expert in ancient magic, I still lack strength. I think you need an amplification. Use the Artifact of Amplification. I have research funds left over.
-for a moment.
-why? You don’t mean to be reckless like a coward, do you?
-That’s not it. If you’re going to amplify it, let’s amplify the negative energy as well. Looking at it, the spirit seems to be a mixture of cold and darkness, but the balance seems dangerous because there is so little negative energy.
-As expected, you called a specialist in black magic well. That’s a very good idea.
“……”
“……”
The freshmen in the seat wanted to kill the senior they didn’t even know.
Even Ymirg, the kindest person in this place, had a sharp look in his eyes.
Are you saying they’re having a hard time since this weekend because of those crazy people?
“Professor is very harsh on me!”
“Coke. already doing that I’m telling them to fix it quickly, but it’s not very good.”
At Guyando’s words, Professor Mortum grumbled.
Seeing that, Lee Han’s hatred suddenly faded.
Of course, other seniors could have been lazy, but at least it was clear that the professors were harassing them.
Lee Han was not harsh enough to hate such poor people.
“Coke. okay. It wouldn’t hurt to take a look at the freshmen.”
“What do you mean?”
Lee Han, who was forgiving alone, was the first to notice the dangerous sign.
“The scene of the failed summon. Seeing it will help a lot.”
Professor Mortum was well aware of the fact that few students wanted to learn black magic.
As such, it was true that he wanted to teach students the charm of black magic.
Of course, I didn’t know if such a thing would really reveal the charm of black magic…
* * *
‘There was a road like this.’
Professor Mortum knocked on the walls of the main building, opened the ceiling, and sprinted through the main building in three dimensions without hesitation.
Lee Han wanted to memorize the path, but gave up. Seeing Professor Mortum memorize a spell, it was not a path that Lee Han’s magic skills could find.
“What floor is this?”
“Well…”
The freshmen had already lost their sense of direction for a long time.
‘Chill…’
Lee Han, who came out of the passage, could feel a sudden hellish chill.
It was a qualitatively different chill from the blizzard outside.
A chill that spreads out with the attribute of magic itself being cold.
And the voices of the undead were heard.
-■■■■■…
-■■■■…
“Ouch!”
Gainando hid behind Yihan. As Professor Mortum swung his staff, the frozen corpses melted away.
“Why are there undead roaming the hallways of the main building?”
“Coke. This is what happened because I summoned the wrong spirit.”
If the spirits were summoned through the correct procedure and process, this would not have happened.
Because of the arbitrary interpretation of the incomplete spell or the amplification of other things, what was summoned on this floor now was more like a rampaging monster than a spirit that could speak.
A monster that transforms the surrounding space into a different dimension even if it stays still.
It was only natural for the undead to come out of the hallway where the dimension melted as the basics were spirits mixed with cold and darkness.
“Can’t we just go inside and get rid of it?”
Lee Han admired Gainando’s innocent question.
‘If there were seniors around here, they would hear and try to kill them.’
“Coke. That’s right. wait a moment.”
Professor Mortum took his staff and walked somewhere. It was the back of a professor trying to scold an ugly student.
Lee Han clicked his tongue in regret and looked across the hallway.
The bizarre sight of the mixing of frost and darkness was frankly spectacular.
‘It would be beautiful if it weren’t for pouring heavy snow all over the school.’
-Come in…
“?”
-Come in… Those who want power…
Lee Han hesitated when someone telepathically sent him from the dimension on the other side of the hallway.
and then shouted
“Professor! Someone from inside the dimension will speak!”
-…What a coward!
