Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 215
Chapter 215
“Professor Garcia. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I did it all wrong. Calm down your anger.”
“I’m not angry.”
Professor Passelet Krahr apologized. Of course, Professor Garcia didn’t understand.
“For someone who said he wasn’t angry, someone who wasn’t really angry… no. Are you fine?”
“yes. So, you said it was okay.”
Professor Passelette looked Lee Han up and down and then asked Professor Garcia.
“Is that him?”
“yes. This is student Lee Han.”
‘what? Why do I feel bad?’
Lee Han hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was a side effect of the stone divination magic he was attempting.
Come to think of it, they said that seeing the future requires a price
…
Professor Passelette was lost in thought.
Originally, there was a reason why students were asked to foresee the impossible one day later, even though they could give students the easier prediction magic—like the future one second later or two seconds later.
It was given to fail in the first place.
Young wizards would rather fail than succeed clumsily.
No matter how much magic is used, seeing the future is a dangerous act that requires a price.
If the price ends with magic, it’s fortunate, and if successful, a more fatal payment could have occurred.
So…
“Enough.”
Professor Passelette blew away the stones in front of Lee Han with his staff.
That freshman was fearlessly trying to turn around.
Since he had so much magic, he didn’t care about the price he had to pay in case of failure.
“1 Grade. Wisdom magic can be tried multiple times like other magics, so don’t try it. At least, the price to pay for failure is relatively small, but you don’t know what will happen if you repeat it.”
“But Lee Han is fine?”
In response to Guyando’s innocent question, Professor Garcia shook his staff and silenced him.
There was nothing good about messing with Paselette’s temper.
“understand. professor.”
“okay. Keep that in mind.”
Lee Han really understood.
‘It’s really unstable magic.’
At this point, it was no exaggeration to say that it was the most uncertain and capricious of magic.
The more you try to see the distant future, the higher the price you have to pay, the more accurate and clear you see the future, the bigger the price, and even if you fail, the more you repeat, the bigger the price.
Just because he had a lot of magic power, he couldn’t keep trying.
‘I should be more careful.’
Lee Han didn’t have that big aspirations for the Foresight Magic.
The wizard with aspirations for precognitive magic pursued a more distant future, saying ‘I will have to see the end of the world’, but Lee Han was satisfied with just knowing what trap the headmaster had prepared.
If that’s enough, you can go anywhere and call yourself a foresight wizard.
Of course, Professor Passelette did not believe Lee Han.
“Professor Garcia. I think you should keep a close eye on that student.”
“yes?”
“Aren’t you well aware that you have a lot of magic power? Now that such a student knows about the Magic of Wisdom, he can never restrain himself. Even if you pour all your mana into it, you will continue to try the Foresight Magic.”
Professor Passelette was half convinced.
Peeping into the future was an intense pleasure that could not be compared to anything else.
There was no way a mage who was only a freshman could refrain from doing that. It was dangerous to not watch for a while.
“Student Lee Han is not that kind of person.”
Professor Garcia waved his hand as if he was okay. As before, Professor Passelette couldn’t help but be even more surprised by the unexpected appearance of the kind Professor Garcia.
how…?
“Professor Garcia. You know all the freshmen have empty iron heads…”
“I know. But student Lee Han is not that kind of person.”
“Is it because you’re a genius? You know genius is more dangerous in this case.”
Without talent, people with talent were more dangerous in magic.
It’s like being immersed deep in the swamp of magic in a situation where you can’t defend yourself…
“That’s right. But student Lee Han is not that kind of person.”
Professor Garcia was adamant.
With Lee Han’s personality, he would never do anything reckless.
I’m sure you left no talent or magical ability!
“…???”
Of course, it was even more embarrassing for Professor Passelette.
‘Really, what the hell…?’
While Professor Passelette was speechless, Professor Garcia turned his gaze to the students.
With enough warnings about the dangers of divination magic, it was time to talk about its advantages.
No matter how dangerous the foresight magic is, wizards are a race that eventually runs into danger.
There was no reason to become a wizard if you weren’t going to be interested in it because it was dangerous.
“ruler. Everyone must have been very surprised that the Wisdom Magic is different and unique than other magics.”
The students nodded. Some of the students collapsed on the floor and only wiggled their fingers. These were the students who tried divination but failed.
“But the magic I tried today was quite… a difficult magic. Wisdom magic doesn’t only have that difficult magic.”
‘Then isn’t it right to show you the easy magic first?’
Lee Han, who had suddenly tried a very difficult magic several times, listened with a confused expression.
If it wasn’t for the absurdity of having a lot of magical power, wouldn’t it have stretched out like the friends rolling on the floor of the lecture hall right now?
“Foresight magic can be used in a variety of ways, starting with finding things hidden in the classroom, knowledge that you have missed or forgotten, and mistakes in the magic circle you created. There are many cases where wizards who learn magic from other schools also learn wisdom magic little by little.”
If you dig deep, there is no magic as dangerous as the wisdom magic, but if you dig shallowly, the wisdom magic is quite convenient and highly versatile magic.
As much as it assists the wizard’s brain, it goes well with any type of magic.
“So, for students who are interested in precognitive magic, it wouldn’t hurt to take lectures from Professor Krare. Of course, don’t forget to always be humble in front of the future.”
Despite the uproar in the beginning, quite a few students decided to listen to the Foresight Magic, as if Professor Garcia’s words were persuasive.
As the lecture ended, the students walked out one by one, talking about what they could do with the Foresight Magic and what they would do.
“You worked hard. Professor Clare.”
“What am I? Professor Garcia did it all.”
At Professor Passelette’s words, Professor Garcia waved his hand.
“Professor Clare teaches. I am worried that there will be too many students to teach because of me.”
It was a sound that would have shed bloody tears had Professor Mortum of Black Magic heard it.
A privilege only for professors who deal with popular magic!
However, Professor Passelette replied that he did not care.
“Anyway, most of them are just the guys who will go out after polishing the basics.”
Unlike other magics, prediction magic had a fairly high student dropout rate.
It was only natural that it would be useful even if you learned it at a moderate level, and that life became more dangerous as you went to higher levels.
As such, Professor Passelette was not very interested in finding disciples.
If you’re lucky, you’ll get it, if you’re unlucky, you won’t.
“Still, are there any students who look useful?”
“It’s hard to find a genius who stands out in the early stages of the Foresight Magic, like other magic. Professor Garcia. Cases like you are extremely rare.”
Professor Passelet grumbled.
Professor Garcia cares about his students, but Professor Passelette didn’t think much of it.
It was close to impossible to reveal one’s talents in the 1st year of Precognitive Magic.
Even if you practice ‘relatively’ easy prediction magic throughout the first year and start fortune-telling in earnest from the second year, it is difficult to discover your talent.
First of all, it is extremely difficult to succeed in divination (intuition and inspiration are required), and you also have to be able to interpret those uncertain futures…
“And that. Are you really okay? I heard that other professors are interested. Aren’t you going to ask me to come back and take responsibility?”
Who would the other professors be angry with if their cherished student vomited blood and collapsed while practicing the Wisdom Magic secretly?
Professor Passelette did not want to take that risk.
“Because it’s okay.”
‘I’m anxious…’
Just then, Lee Han and his friends walked out. Professor Passelette listened. It was to listen to the conversations of the first graders.
“I practice hard and try to remember the order of the decks I shuffle. So Lee Han. Earlier, you kept throwing stones while trying to fortune-telling. Did you see anything?”
In response to Guyando’s question, Professor Passelet shook his head inwardly.
I explained it earlier, but I already forgot.
Such a clumsy personality was not suitable for divination magic.
‘I’ve told you several times that you can’t see anything if you fail…’
“Hmm. Short images passed by…”
“?!”
Professor Passelette’s eyes widened.
what?
‘Failure… wait… this isn’t the time to rebuke the first graders.’
Of course, I thought it would have failed, but now that I think about it, Lee Han didn’t say a word that the stone point had failed. Surprisingly, I tried again, even though I succeeded!
‘I would have paid the price of success…’
The moment I looked at the future no matter how blurry and uncertain the image was, the price increased enormously.
But the fact that he did it several times without showing anything…
‘It was born!’
One of the talents of foresight magic.
It was a constitution that paid well.
It sounded like a joke, but in a way, this was the most important talent.
One wizard had to sacrifice blood after seeing the future, while the other had to sacrifice mana, because the latter had an overwhelming advantage.
That student clearly had the constitution to pay the price with magical power.
‘But if you’re going to sacrifice your magic power, you’ll need an enormous amount…’ He
had heard that there was a lot of magic power, but Professor Passelette was confused.
No matter how much magic you have, how many times have you paid for your success with magic and repeated it…
Is that possible?
Could it be that first grader’s misunderstanding?
It was not uncommon for young wizards to mistakenly think that they had seen the future.
The professor listened more than before. to hear the conversation.
“What did you see? What did you see?!”
“I was cooking roast beef.”
“roast beef…! The menu tomorrow is roast beef!”
“Not sure. Even if you have seen the future, you said that the future can change as much as you like.”
“no. Han Lee. We can make the future.”
Gainando said in a mouth-watering voice.
“What are you talking about?”
“Tomorrow’s menu is roast beef.”
“roast beef?! i like that! What kind of meat?! Maybe lamb?”
“What roast beef?”
“They say the blue dragon tower eats roast beef tomorrow.”
“Shit. They’re like nasty people.”
Professor Passelette frowned.
It was a very important part, but the other first-year students were talking nonsense.
“The first thing I saw was roast beef with beef.”
“beef…!”
“Beef is good!”
“Those children. Did you come to the magic school to eat? You can’t be a great wizard if you’re full!”
Despite the words of jealousy from the White Tiger Tower students, Professor Passelette’s spirit was sold elsewhere.
Even if they succeeded in divination, each wizard differed in how they viewed certain images.
Nevertheless, if there are important elements, it is clarity and specificity.
The clearer and more specific the image, the better the foresight.
If it was clear enough to see the type of meat…
Professor Passelette muttered with a blank look.
“Beef… Beef… Beef…!”
“Did your personality change?”
Professor Garcia came out from behind, puzzled.
