Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 32
Chapter 032
“……”
“Gainando was taken away!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Naturally, the students panicked. In broad daylight, some monster flew in and took a friend, but it was strange if you didn’t panic.
However, Lee Han felt strangely cold.
‘I must have been very affected by this school.’
After seeing so many crazy situations, he was not shaken to the extent of a monster flying in and kidnapping Guinando.
“Everyone, lower your stance!”
Lee Han shouted once.
The Blue Dragon Tower students next to him heard that and hurriedly lowered their stance.
– Crow, wow, wow!
“Everyone comes back!”
“no!”
Another student who was wandering around was arrested. This time, he was a student at the White Tiger Tower.
Seeing that, an inspiration flashed in Lee Han’s head.
‘no way!’
There had to be a reason for choosing one of the many students gathered here.
Kainando also has bright blonde hair.
And the student who was just arrested had bright silver hair.
“Everybody cover their heads with cloaks! He catches the shiny one!”
“You’re going to catch the bald man?”
“You mean hair color! You idiot!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students were taken aback by the sudden remark, but they did not doubt Lee Han’s words.
Thanks to that, I was able to respond faster than other top students.
As he fell low and covered his head with a cape, the monster lost interest in the Blue Dragon Tower students.
‘It worked!’
Lee Han knew that his judgment was correct.
Originally, I knew that there are many birds that like shiny things, but I thought that would work for monsters as well.
It would not have been possible to find out if it had not been for the sacrifice of Gainando.
Tuk-tuk-
“?”
Lee Han, who was lowering his posture, realized that an elf he had never seen before was touching him.
Looking at the outfit, it was clear that he was a student at the White Tiger Tower.
long black hair and elongated ears. A tempered body unique to a knight’s family. It was evident that he came from an eastern elven knight family.
Before Lee Han could answer, a violent reaction erupted from the side.
“Someone’s trying to touch Wardanaj!”
“Honorable friends! The hillbilly from the White Tiger Tower is Wodanaz…” When
the students from the Blue Dragon Tower reacted quickly and violently, as if knocking down some dominoes, the female student from the White Tiger Tower panicked and hurriedly said:
“I have nothing to do with the Moradi family faction! Princess! Please explain.”
Princess Adenart came forward and stood in the way. Lee Han was puzzled.
“what. Were you acquainted?”
Adenart nodded with his characteristic expressionless face. After buying a moment, the elf hurriedly explained.
“I am Rowena, a knight who serves the princess.”
“Are you taking care of the princess? You can’t bring an attendant or an escort to this school… Ah. Right.”
Lee Han noticed without even listening to the explanation. At that understanding, Rowena gave a surprised look.
Originally, it was forbidden to bring attendants or escorts to this school.
However, every rule has holes.
If an equal freshman who came in with him voluntarily offered to accompany him, he couldn’t stop it.
Since the princess was famous in the empire since she was little, it wouldn’t be strange if there were people among the freshmen who came in with her who wanted to serve her even before entering school.
‘Besides, it was like that in alchemy class.’
At that time, I wondered why all the students from various towers gathered at the princess while Lee Han was afraid, but those who had visited the princess before entering the school and had a close relationship explained it.
‘Suddenly, I feel sorry for Gainando…’
Lee Han felt sorry for Gainando, who should be flying in the sky by now.
Even if the princess stays still, people come from all over to offer her allegiance, but Gainando
is the same royal family, but the difference is too great.
“So I understand that you are a knight serving the princess, but why did you tell me that?”
“I’ve hidden it from him now, but you never know when he’ll act on his whim. Lord Wardanaz instructs you to stop him.”
“…??”
Lee Han must have heard it wrong.
‘Who am I to command?’
For a moment, I wondered if there were undead soldiers under Lee Han who didn’t even know Lee Han.
However, there were subordinates who really did not know this limit.
The students of the Blue Dragon Tower came out stealing under their noses
.
“Heh. Wodanaz. request.”
“Wardanas, I can trust you. I ask for an honorable command.”
“……”
Lee Han was bewildered.
Before he knew it, he had become the prefect in command of the Blue Dragon Tower.
‘Traditionally, there’s nothing good about being a manager anywhere…’
I was embarrassed, but I couldn’t do anything in this situation.
Lee Han nodded and began to give instructions as soon as he remembered them.
* * *
Rowena watched Lee Han’s movements with curious eyes.
Among the freshmen this time, Rowena was not the only student serving Adenart. There were also other towers.
The reason they served Adenart was not because they were one of over a hundred members of the royal family. It wasn’t even because of the wealth and power of the imperial family.
The reason why they gathered, of different races, statuses, and backgrounds, was purely because of the ability Adenart had shown.
As such, Rowena took it for granted that Adenart would be the leader of the Blue Dragon Tower.
But surprisingly, the leader of the Blue Dragon Tower was not Adenart.
It was a boy from the Wardanaz family.
-Nonsense!
– How did this happen?
Of course, Adenart was not a sociable character.
He was so quiet and taciturn, and his cold face made him feel intimidated.
But Adenart’s followers thought it was no problem.
Especially in front of Adenart’s overwhelming ability.
I thought that if Adenart showed genius talent in any field, even the most picky and arrogant Blue Dragon Tower students would have no choice but to admit it…
Besides, the Wodanaz family is not a particularly sociable family.
Although he was one of the most famous magicians in the empire, the rumors were eccentric and terrifying.
The followers couldn’t believe that a boy from such a family would lead the Blue Dragon Tower.
How?
‘Maybe I can find out the secret this time.’
Rowena protected Adenart and stared at Lee Han.
It was because I had no choice but to ask Lee Han.
If Rowena or Adenart spoke, the arrogant students of the Blue Dragon Tower would never have followed their instructions.
I was honestly upset.
If I could find out how Lee Han led the students of the Blue Dragon Tower, I didn’t know if Adenart could do it either.
‘I’ll find out and give you advice!’
Rowena could not have imagined.
That Lee Han made those arrogant students his side with food.
* * *
‘Even if I try to give instructions, there’s not much I can do.’
They didn’t have a bow or a crossbow, so there was no way they could deal with monsters flying high.
then?
‘I have no choice but to drive it out by surprising it like dealing with a beast.’
Fortunately, Lee Han had several options.
“Everyone line up and build a wall!”
At Lee Han’s words, the students stood straight ahead and built a temporary wall.
Lee Han crouched behind him. It was to maximize the effect of surprise.
‘come!’
Once again, when the monster came down from above, Lee Han immediately used the spell.
“Light!”
It was the simplest 1-circle magic, creating light, but the effect varied greatly depending on how it was used.
When a light bulb shining like the sun rose in the air, the monster that rushed at it screamed and turned around.
– Crow, wow, wow!
It was unexpected and startled because Lee Han suddenly used magic while hiding.
“Ugh! Uh-huh! turn it on!”
‘what?’
The monster got scared and ran away, so I thought it was over, but I heard a human voice from above the monster.
Lee Han somehow seemed to know.
‘Are you a professor? no. must be a professor There can’t be any decent professors in this school!’
The only proof was his intuition, but Lee Han realized that the professor was the one driving the monster.
Really, this school is…!
The frightened monster calmed down and turned around again, perhaps thanks to the professor.
– Crow, wow, wow!
The monster seemed ashamed to be frightened by the harmless mass of light. It made a noise as if it were angry, and it cracked its beak.
And this time, he blatantly ran toward Lee Han. It was clear he noticed who was directing the students here.
“no! Wodanaz. Avoid!”
Rowena, who was watching, exclaimed urgently.
Lee Han’s plan was obviously successful.
I stabbed the monster’s loophole and made it run away.
But it had to be avoided.
‘What is he saying now?’
‘Don’t you even know who he’s talking to?’
The students of the White Tiger Tower looked at such Rowena as if they were dumbfounded.
Rowena had a very big misunderstanding because she didn’t come to the swordsmanship class.
That boy from the Wardanaz family was capable of taking care of himself even if left alone.
However, Lee Han did not escape. The sculpted face hardened and he swung his staff.
“Move!”
A stone rises with a spell.
Although it was only a 1-circle magic, Lee Han looked like a lofty archmage to the students in the seat.
* * *
‘Please don’t shoot your teammates. Please don’t shoot allies.’
As there were few magics he knew, of course Lee Han tried to use low-level manipulation magic if the light-generating magic failed.
The problem…
was that the moment Lee Han floated the stone, he shot it like an arrow instead of properly maintaining it.
Aiming was, of course, impossible. I just had to leave it to chance.
If he had been able to aim, he would have used this magic from the beginning.
“Wardanaz! Wodanaz! Wodanaz!”
“Wardanaz! Wodanaz! Wodanaz!”
Not knowing Lee Han’s true intentions, the Blue Dragon Tower students exclaimed Lee Han’s name enthusiastically.
Even other top students called Lee Han by his name.
ping!
The raised stones shot out sharply.
“!!”
And surprisingly, the stone passed right in front of the monster’s beak.
‘Damn it!’
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
To be honest, I couldn’t curse bad luck because I was grateful that I had flown all the way there.
– Crow, wow, wow!
But surprisingly, it worked.
The monster, startled by the stone that passed in front of its beak, stopped and turned again.
“Waaaaaa!”
“Wardanaz! Wodanaz!”
A few of the White Tiger Tower students looked on with bitter expressions of fear and anger.
I had to honestly admit it.
The Wardanaz boy was of a different class.
They can’t even make a light orb right now, but they’ve already mastered rock manipulation magic and used it in battle…
Even if they learned the original magic, it was several times more difficult to use it in battle.
When blood splatters and weapons fly in a bloody and chaotic situation, no matter how much practiced magic, concentration is broken and fails.
But to be successful like that…
‘Monster!’
‘hmm? Did it work?’
Everyone was amazed, but Lee Han was really confused.
Were you scared to miss?
‘I was lucky.’
“Ugh! Uh huh! Uh-huh! okay. Good job!”
I heard the professor’s voice above the monster, and it landed with dust.
dump!
Before getting off, the professor threw the students who had been caught earlier one by one. Gainando was foaming and passed out.
widely!
The professor landed nicely.
Pilot’s glasses worn over his head in leather pants and a leather jacket (it was an artifact that felt magical). It was a dwarf who could tell that ‘I am an explorer’ just by looking at it.
But Lee Han felt something different.
For some reason, that dwarf was familiar.
Could it be that he is related to Thunderstep?
‘I don’t think so. To blindly assume that dwarves are related just because they all look alike in my eyes. That’s prejudice.’
Tak-
The dwarf walked over and grabbed Lee Han by the collar. Then he said in a pleasant voice.
“You have qualities!”
“……”
It looks like a relative of thunder…
