Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 300
Chapter 300
While Lee Han frowned and tried to recall his memories, the imperial family began to act.
Prince Bo Gajun said, tapping the table with his fingers.
“Seeing how heavy the egg is, it doesn’t look like a flying creature.”
Princess Juderantas immediately refuted.
“It’s not something you can just think about. There are heavy ones among flying creatures.”
“I know. But for a guess, a high-probability option…”
“That’s wrong.”
“What’s wrong is that the escort driver was involved in the bribery case… kuhmm.”
“…Well, since we couldn’t even solve the plague in Kldran Village, we can’t even guess at such an obvious thing… Ehhh.”
‘no. It’s more fun than I thought.’
Lee Han, who was listening from the sidelines, seemed to understand why the nobles followed the imperial family to the meeting.
It was more fun than I thought to see the royal family fighting each other while watching the liver.
Of course, the aristocrats weren’t following around with such evil thoughts…
Tuk-tuk-
“?”
Lee Han turned his head. Looking back, Princess Adenart, who belonged to the same tower, was standing there.
Adenart slightly bowed his head in gratitude and handed Lee Han a well-wrapped pouch.
Lee Han, who saw this, was very moved.
‘You know grace like a royal family!’
Grace that stopped the princess from being forced to do a difficult task because of her followers.
How can you remember that and try to pay it back in silver?
‘The future of the empire is bright.’
“thank you.”
Lee Han answered and unwrapped the wrapped string.
Then, a shiny silver coin…
…didn’t come out, but a shiny medallion.
“????”
When a medal came out instead of a silver coin, Lee Han was taken aback.
what?
‘aha. Since silver coins have limitations in weight and volume, did they give them jewelry with high liquidity instead?’
Lee Han admired the princess’ consideration again.
Indeed, it was an outstanding intelligence worthy of the senior class… no, the second class.
Giving me trinkets that I can sell right away.
“Mrs. Wardanaz. It is a reward plaque.”
“……”
Lee Han’s impression was frowned at the follower’s kind explanation.
reward plaque.
It was a gift given by the family as a token of gratitude when a member of the family took care of themselves.
If you put up this tile when you needed help, you could get help from that family anytime, anywhere.
Adenart also had a strong mother’s family, so the value of this reward plaque was also great…
‘…I’ll just give it in silver.’
However, it was of little use to Lee Han.
Lee Han was not going to go into politics with the support of the imperial family, nor would he go into the imperial society…
Besides, it was ambiguous to exchange such a token of appreciation for silver coins. If you were unlucky enough to be wrong, it would be like ignoring the sincerity of the other family.
Lee Han internally held back a sigh and answered hypothetically.
“To receive something like this… I feel like it’s too much.”
“haha. no. The princess is very grateful to Wodanaz for his dedication.”
“Can I really accept this?”
“yes! of course.”
The princess also nodded while staring intently as if asking for acceptance.
When the attempt to receive it with another one somehow failed, Lee Han put up the medal while enduring bitterness.
“Thank you.”
“for a moment. What are you giving away?”
Bogajun said with a straight face to Adenart’s follower.
While Bogajun and Juderantas were arguing, Adenart was trying to take a talented person at will.
Judrantas also stopped the argument and intervened.
“Forcibly trying to give you a token of appreciation. Don’t you know that even favors can be a nuisance if forced?”
‘He knows how to say the right thing unexpectedly.’
However, Adenart’s followers were not easy.
“Are you giving it away? Gajun Bo. This was given to a friend by Adenart-sama as a token of appreciation. The two of you are studying together at Ein Lorgard.”
“Kuh…”
“Keugh.”
Bogajun and Judrantas simultaneously let out a silent voice and disintegrated.
There was no better excuse to make friends than the fact that they were studying at the same school. ‘Such
a coward
…’
As the two members of the imperial family were speechless, the follower continued to speak triumphantly.
“You see? It means that Wodanaz-nim is the princess’s best friend.”
“?”
Lee Han tilted his head.
did you?
‘Is it that close… friendly?’
Of course, they served us meals, and since we were in the same tower, we did a lot of things together, but I wondered if it was a close friend.
No matter what your friends are like…
“Whoops! whooping! Whooping!”
Guinando might have thought so, too, and tried to protest strongly.
‘If they’re close, I’m closer!’
Of course, the other horse was sealed, so it had no effect.
“Quiet. You have a lot of eyes.”
Yoner stabbed Guinando in the side.
Lee Han did his best to keep face in front of the aristocrats who came to the meeting today, but to think he was kicking it.
This cousin had to be a little grateful.
“joy. Friendship at school is like a joke. There is no law that you must serve just because you learned together.”
“You rarely say the right thing. that’s right. Isn’t it more strange to think that just because you have a little acquaintance, you will serve him?”
The two imperial families changed direction and twisted in a way that swayed their friendship.
Of course, neither Lee Han nor Adenart were shaken.
Adenart was originally an expressionless person, and Lee Han had no particular idea.
‘I’m not saying it’s wrong.’
It was nonsense to serve them just because they went to the same school.
According to that logic, Kainando already has followers…
“Yes. Why don’t you guess the identity of that egg?”
“I think you can do enough.”
Bogajun and Juderantas suggested riddles to win Lee Han’s favor.
Of course, that wasn’t an act to ingratiate Lee Han at all.
‘Why do these bastards keep doing it because they don’t want to do it?’
It would be good for each other if they just fought among themselves, but it was very annoying to try to insert Lee Han.
The moment he was about to say no in a good way, something passed through Lee Han’s mind.
‘!’
A strangely familiar egg.
I felt like I had seen it somewhere…
‘Basilisk Egg!!’
I vividly remember being disappointed when Professor Voladi received it. I wondered why I remembered it now.
“Isn’t that a basilisk egg?”
Lee Han asked in a slightly embarrassed voice.
Of course, it didn’t matter much whether it was a basilisk egg or a dragon egg, as long as it didn’t hatch, but…
isn’t it a bit dangerous?
‘Did they do this much riddle when the royal family got together? Isn’t it Ein Lorgard?’
Brodon, the nobleman who brought the eggs, laughed as if he was talking about something.
“It is not a basilisk egg. Mr. Wodanaz.”
“Is that so?”
When the other person answered confidently, Lee Han hesitated. He wanted to see if he was wrong.
“yes. Trust me. You can’t bring such a dangerous egg to a meeting here, can you?”
“Where did you get it?”
“I bought it from a merchant?”
“……”
Lee Han’s face hardened as he tried to trust him.
It wasn’t an egg he raised or bought, but an egg he bought from a merchant.
It suddenly became ominous.
‘…It’ll be fine.’
When I thought about it, I wondered if it would matter so long as there was no sign of hatching whether it was a basilisk egg or a dragon egg.
I’ll take it back after the meeting…
Blah!
When something was about to come out with the sound of an egg cracking, Lee Han reacted immediately.
“Everybody get down!”
The harsh training time at Ein Rogard did not betray Lee Han.
Thanks to this, I was able to draw the staff and cast the spell faster than anyone else.
“Swell up. Unfold!”
A huge mass of water gushed out of the air and turned into a veil, enclosing the glass case.
One of the most dangerous things when dealing with a basilisk is its evil eye.
The basilisk’s eyes, which cast the curse of petrification the moment they met, were dangerous even for newborn babies.
“I also… ugh!”
“Be still!”
“No I…”
“You too!”
Lee Han, who was about to intervene, grabbed the prince and princess by the backs and crumpled them behind a table, shouting to their friends.
“Do you remember what we did last time? Move like back then! Keep your head down and look in the mirror! Move!”
Lee Han set up a table and pushed the nobles behind him. So that you stick your head out for no reason and don’t make eye contact with Sana.
Clink and Puck!
There was the sound of breaking glass, and then a dull sound came from the water curtain.
Lee Han was startled by the shock that seemed like it would break through at any moment.
“It must be a baby, but how?”
“ah! Mr. Wodanaz!”
Zolbabden, who was hiding under the table next to him, shouted knowingly.
“Brodon likes to give you growth potions to take good care of your eggs!”
“……”
Zolbabden was excellent at information, befitting a source in the Empire’s social world.
Of course, it wasn’t very helpful information in the current situation, but!
Brodon, still unable to grasp the situation, shouted as if denying the reality.
“Maybe it’s not a basilisk, is it?”
“No matter what, a guy who runs rampant like that must be a heinous guy! Everyone stay away from behind the table! Sharkan Come Out! Perkuntra needs your power!”
Realizing that the situation was not serious, Lee Han tried to hit the player with the best hand he had.
The situation could only escalate if I carelessly cherished it.
However, when Yihan summoned Perkuntra halfway, the water curtain was torn apart.
Cheeik!
To my surprise, a burning sound came from the water curtain.
When the monster inside couldn’t penetrate it with its power, it tore the water curtain with poison.
The figure of the monster flashed in the crack.
A terrible monster, the Basilisk, born from the souls of a snake and a rooster!
Pod!
The basilisk struck Lee Han right away, as if he felt who was the most threatening wizard.
The vertically elongated pupils flashed and emitted an evil curse of petrification.
“…the one who signed a contract with you calls you as he deserves!”
-?????
However, Lee Han was not shaken at all even when he was cursed with petrification.
In fact, I was so focused on memorizing the spell that I didn’t even notice that the basilisk had hit the curse of petrification.
Pod Pod Pod!
The Curse of Petrification was continuously cast, but Lee Han deflected them all.
And Perkuntra was summoned.
Rumble Kwak Kwang!
A thunderstorm and thunder broke out inside the room, and a huge lightning spirit began to take shape on top of Lee Han.
What mess is this?! You really bring incidents everywhere you go!
“…I’ll explain that later! A basilisk is trying to escape! Please stop it!”
At Lee Han’s urgent cry, Perkuntra immediately grasped the situation.
It wasn’t normal for a basilisk to be trapped in that watery curtain.
Apparently, there were quite a few people who weren’t magicians, but it could have led to a major disaster.
Among the many mistakes you made today, the best choice was summoning me!
Perkuntra’s body swelled up and shot out like lightning.
Then, it was squeezed into the water curtain.
Subdue the Basilisk or whatever…
…Didn’t you pass out?
“yes?”
Said I was stunned It looks exhausted.
Perkuntra removed the water curtain and showed the fallen basilisk. He lay down as if he were dead.
Sharkan also tapped the basilisk. Nevertheless, the basilisk did not rise.
“Is that so?”
okay.
For a moment, an awkward silence hung over Yihan and Perkuntra.
Lee Han said in a shy voice.
“Anyway, thanks for coming.”
……
Perkuntra glared at Lee Han.
