Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 196
Chapter 196
But even if I regret it, it’s already too late.
Professor Voladi’s magic lecture was still going on.
“I heard from Professor Verdus. I decided to major in endowment magic as well.”
“…It’s about listening with a light heart…”
“It’s a good choice.”
Enchantment magic was easy to link with other magics thanks to its wide versatility.
In particular, cold elemental magic was good in conjunction with endowment magic.
Uninformed people used to have a few misunderstandings about cold elemental magic.
The difficulty of learning and using the intense image felt in the knife-like cold.
-Maybe the cold element is the most destructive and combative of the elements?
But no.
In terms of instantaneous destructive power, the fire element was much better. Because the flame consumed the surroundings by itself the moment it was lit, it burned on its own.
On the other hand, the cold element did not immediately freeze the opponent even if it was called once.
The magician continued to infuse magic until the opponent was frozen and had to maintain the coldness.
It was a very inefficient method.
‘hmm. From now on, I shouldn’t just freeze it ignorantly.’
Lee Han, who recklessly injected mana into ice in a lake in a hurry, reflected on himself.
It’s a shame because I only have friends, but if other professors saw it, they might have said ‘such an ignorant guy’.
In any case, the other elements of the cold element were ambiguous.
What about shape change or retention?
The water element healed.
If it’s pure penetration, if the earth element is fast, then the lightning element…
Except for its freezing property, the cold element was more obscure and difficult to use than I thought.
But it wasn’t that there was no way. As long as you know how to use it, the cold element certainly has advantages that other elements cannot match.
One of the methods was endowment magic.
Professor Tak- Voladi pulled out his rapier.
In that stable position, Lee Han realized that the professor had learned swordsmanship.
‘Well, I guess the person who risked his life in a magical battle didn’t carelessly engage in melee combat.’
Hiss!
Lee Han could feel cold magic rising from the blade of his rapier.
“Come on.”
“…!”
Lee Han got up, managing his expression so as not to show that he was overjoyed.
As soon as he took up his stance with a wooden sword, the professor immediately started attacking. The distance narrowed as if sliding, and a stab flew.
It was a quick and sharp thrust, but Lee Han did not learn the swordsmanship in vain, enough to be hit by an attack from a distance without any trick.
He immediately pushed the wooden sword forward and parried the stab.
Great!
At that moment, part of the wooden sword froze.
Lee Han forced his magic power to shake off the ice. It couldn’t have ended like this.
‘Professor Voladi is likely not familiar with my swordsmanship style. One way somehow…’
“Do you understand?”
“yes?”
Lee Han, whose inner thoughts were revealed, hesitated.
“The enchantment magic.”
“Ah… yes. It has good compatibility with the cold element.”
There was no need for the magician to concentrate his magic to scatter cold air or to create crystals of cold air to shoot.
By endowing an object with cold air, it was possible to continuously hit the enemy.
It couldn’t be knocked down with one brush, but that was enough.
As Lee Han had properly learned swordsmanship, he felt how effective this type of cold energy was.
‘If swordsmen fight each other, they have to keep clashing their weapons, but after five or six times, they’ll be incapacitated.’
When Lee Han seemed to understand, Professor Voladi nodded and inserted the sword. Lee Han felt sorry inside.
“Throw it.”
“yes.”
Professor Voladi nodded at the iron ball. As before, Lee Han controlled his expression and caught the marble.
‘Let’s stay calm.’
By not alerting the opponent and remaining as calm as possible…
Lee Han drew mana from his entire body and blew it into the marble.
As much as Professor Ingeldell had told him, ‘It’s dangerous to infuse magic into a sword like that,’ Yihan was as careful as possible.
But sometimes there were times when it was unavoidable.
That time was now.
Shut!
With the sound of tearing the air, the iron orb flew ferociously.
At that moment, the dagger at Professor Voladi’s waist moved as if it were alive.
The dagger pierced the orb with a jingling sound. The speed of the orb, which had been flying so fast, was reduced in an instant and froze.
It was an unrealistic stop phenomenon that could only be shown by the coldness of the magician, not the coldness of nature.
While Lee Han was amazed, Professor Boladi paid attention to another part.
The vampire professor asked with interest.
“Did you throw it by activating it instead of circulating the magic power?”
“…yes.”
“It will put a strain on the equipment, but throwing weapons, which are consumables, will be fine. A good way.”
Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his murderous intent was not revealed.
“You practiced this in the swordsmanship class.”
“yes?”
Lee Han hesitated.
I got the impression that the topic was going in a strange direction.
Professor Voladi’s words sounded like ‘you were taking a swordsmanship class to add this method to magic combat’.
It was a fairly unfair false accusation to Lee Han, who was listening for grade management.
“I didn’t do it on purpose…”
“Good job. Summon an ice shield.”
Professor Voladi changed the subject as if the story had already ended.
Lee Han was anxious, but he had no chance to clear up his false accusation.
‘…it’ll be fine. no way.’
* * *
The 2nd circle magic < Ice Shield > had a much higher level of difficulty even though it was the same circle as the < Water Shield > magic.
Elemental difficulty, horsepower consumption, horsepower maintenance, etc. Everything.
At this level, it was unfair to call it the same circle magic.
However, < Frost Shield > deserved its level of difficulty.
‘It freezes the attack that touches it!’
It could be said to be a truly excellent magic shield in that it did not end with simply freezing, but significantly reduced the power of attacks.
“Now command this shield to defend you.”
“Yes… yes?”
Lee Han nodded and was surprised.
I worked hard throughout the lecture to learn how to change the shape of the cold element and managed to make < Frozen Shield >, but now I can’t even give it autonomy.
Professor Voladi opened his mouth as if he had noticed Lee Han’s misunderstanding.
“I’m not asking you to do it now.”
“ah. Final goal…”
“Until next time.”
“……”
Lee Han regretted not putting in a little more magic power when throwing the iron ball earlier.
If I put in a little more, wouldn’t it have pierced the defense?
“If you want to give orders to the shield and make it defend itself… wouldn’t it be 4 circles?”
Lee Han made a simple estimate.
How to create an ice shield that floats in the air and spins around to block attacks from the owner?
…was at least 4 circles.
“Yes.”
“professor. I am in first grade.”
“?”
Professor Voladi looked at Lee Han with curious eyes as to why he said such a thing out of the blue.
“…how difficult is the magic…?”
“Summon Azirmo combined with rotation and firing attributes to the water orb. Aren’t they all four circles?”
“……”
Lee Han was really speechless.
I never thought I would lose to Professor Voladi through logic.
You have succeeded in 4th circle difficulty magic – > So you can succeed in 4th circle difficulty magic again!
It was a perfect logic that could not be refuted.
Professor Voladi continued as if he still didn’t understand.
“Are you kidding?”
“…Yeah… well…”
“You’re not good at jokes. Okay. There is no need for jokes in magic battles.”
Professor Boladi even comforted Lee Han and left the classroom first.
Left alone after the lecture, Lee Han wrapped his head and regretted it.
‘…It wasn’t about succeeding in the cold element at once.’
No matter how you think about it, that was the beginning of all this butterfly effect.
I never thought a single mistake would come back like this…
* * *
It was still cold at school, but Lee Han seemed to get used to it after about two days.
‘I guess I’ll have to dig through the spire soon.’
Of course, some students like Cainando could have said this.
-You have to go in this kind of weather!? go later!
But Lee Han knew it well.
If you make the excuse of being cold, make the excuse of being hot, make the excuse of having a paper test, make the excuse of having to play a card game, there is nothing you can do.
“I understand, so stop harassing me…!”
After worrying once and receiving all sorts of scoldings, Gainando made a face full of resentment.
‘Do I really have to go in this weather!? I don’t think it’s something to worry about having to curse like this!
Dalgrakdalgrak-
Evening.
The Blue Dragon Tower students gathered in the break room were eating the leftover food from the bowl with spoons.
After finishing the meal first, Lee Han took out the potions he had received as a gift from Priest Siana.
In this weather, as much as going out at night, I had to prepare as much as I could.
After
drinking almost all the potion he could drink, Lee Han stood up.
“Then see you later.”
“Take care of yourself.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“……”
Gainando gave a very dissatisfied look at the warm conversation.
“How is it different from what I said?”
“Are you serious?”
* * *
“Huh? out!”
“really?”
Koholti, a 4th grade student, and her friends were surprised.
I never thought I would get out of the tower in this weather.
“Are you a freshman?”
“You’re not an ordinary freshman.”
At Koholti’s words, the friends nodded.
I could still see the last time he was rambling magic like a madman in the twisting dimension hallway.
Usually freshmen didn’t.
– Did I tell you? The head of the Wodanaz family made up his mind and made a contract with the Great Devil…
– No, the Wardanaz family is crazy and does that?
-Then the more moderate hypothesis I put forward is that the head of the Wardanaz family is the dragon…
-Children. It’s good to discuss, but when you go out, let’s talk about getting assassinated by the Wardanaj family.
Diret swears, saying, ‘You scumbags, you solve it,’ but Koholti and his friends took a realistic approach.
It takes a lot of magic power to clear the warped dimension hallway right now – > There is almost no way to bring a lot of magic power to the warped dimension hallway without loss – > In this situation, shouldn’t you borrow some help from a freshman?
Of course, Diret and other seniors would criticize, saying, ‘Those bastards disgrace all 4th graders’, but Koholti and his friends had no shame in their hearts.
-Then, while you are being scolded by the professor, try to deal with the twisted dimensional hallway!
So, Koholti and her friends were waiting around the blue dragon’s tower without Diret’s knowledge.
It probably won’t come out, but I’ll try to contact you if I get lucky.
But it’s going to come out like this.
“Send a message! message!”
“wait. I am going right now!”
The 4th graders calmed their excitement and cast a spell.
Due to the strict supervision of the skeleton headmaster, contacting the new students had to be risked, but that didn’t mean there was no way.
The 4th grade students are also those who have gone through prenatal battles at this school.
Tuk-
The bird made of paper flew around and landed in front of Lee Han’s feet.
“?”
Lee Han was puzzled and picked up the paper.
Courageous and wise freshman. Come to the twisting dimension hallway that Professor Mortum has guided you to.
If so, faithful wizards will reward your dedication!
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
‘Do magic schools have letter scams?’
Poo poo poo!
Lee Han tore up the letter without any hesitation and threw it away.
