Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 336
Chapter 336
Lee Han felt a little sorry.
In fact, it was Lee Han’s choice not to take dance classes at school.
But the headmaster of the skull is misunderstood instead.
“sorry.”
“done.”
“I think you misunderstood because of the things you usually do.”
“If you say you’re sorry and then say that, do you think it will sound apologetic?”
Headmaster Skeleton was dumbfounded.
The skill of turning people’s clothes upside down with an apology, who taught it, was unusual.
“But what are you doing here?”
“What is the reason for me to meet the great nobles?”
Headmaster Skeleton put an imperial gold coin in his palm with a tired expression.
Lee Han inadvertently tried to take the gold coin. Headmaster Skeleton immediately retrieved the gold coin and looked at it as if it were absurd.
“Are you trying to take my gold coins?”
“I thought you took it out to give it to me.”
“…Seeing you now, I don’t think what His Majesty said was completely wrong… I came to get support.”
Wizards were a race that was bound to waste a lot.
There was no saving in burning precious jewels and replacing rare materials to develop a reagent.
Even so, it is the wizards who calmly say something like ‘I used up the box of diamonds you saved, but there is no result.
And among those wizards, Einrogard was the only place where only the best ones in the empire were gathered, so the waste was so bad that it was one of the best in the empire.
Even if the emperor supported Einrogard despite the opposition of imperial officials (the imperial treasurers shuddered at the mention of Einrogard’s name), the budget was always tight.
As such, one of the skeleton principal’s duties was to obtain additional sponsorship.
“indeed. You are suffering a lot.”
Lee Han deeply sympathized.
A professor’s job wasn’t just about studying his magic and teaching his students.
Getting a budget was one of the professor’s abilities.
From that point of view, the skeleton principal was a great person.
‘for a moment. You’re not threatening me to tear it off, right?’
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“it’s nothing. really. When are you going to visit my family?”
“To the Wardanaz family?”
Headmaster Skeleton looked at Lee Han as if he had heard the most stupid thing in the world.
“The Wardanaz family has no reason to visit. A mage who is busy experimenting with herself would give gold coins to another mage to do the experiment.”
Wizards never gave gold coins to other wizards.
It wasn’t a wizard who gave way to another wizard, in case he didn’t know if he used it.
“Is that so? Has Kraha been sponsored?”
“yet. It is not so easy to receive gold coins from others. I will have to visit a few more times to convince you.”
The skeleton principal’s expression was serious.
His expression was much more serious than the last time he used the great magic called the unique world.
In fact, getting the budget was also a much more difficult area than magic.
“You seem to have a hard time convincing me.”
“Of course it is. Kraha-sama is by no means an easy-going person.”
“You must have already told the story of Gainando… Any other excuses to be sponsored? Like the schedule for the second semester.”
Lee Han asked softly.
It’s easier to prepare if you know in advance.
However, the headmaster of the skeleton did not take it lightly.
“Even if there is, I won’t tell you. And are you telling me to tell the story of your child being dragged into a punishment room?”
The skeleton headmaster looked at Lee Han suspiciously.
I wondered if he was trying to repay the grudge he had accumulated during the last semester.
“No, it’s not like that… you know that. Mr Kraha. Did you know that Kainando is talented in black magic?”
“Is that true?”
Kainando’s mother was surprised and asked again.
“Isn’t that a wizard card?”
“I’m not very good at wizard cards, but I’m good at black magic. I listen to it with me, and I can count it on my hands.”
‘In the first place, you can count the freshmen you listen to on your hand.’
Headmaster Skeleton was dumbfounded, but did not intervene.
“Lord Gonadaltes. Haven’t you heard of this?”
“Mr Kraha. It is impossible for me to leak students’ secrets.”
“……”
This time, Lee Han looked at the skeleton headmaster as if he was dumbfounded.
‘
I’m going to review the sponsorship positively.’
“Really? Thank you very much! We just needed new corpses.”
Kainando’s mother smiled generously and nodded.
Headmaster Skeleton looked at Lee Han with a different face.
“I am proud of you.”
“…principal. I hate to brag, but I’m the top of the class.”
“okay. senior in grade. Proud of you. But there are other families I want to visit.”
“I’m going to go learn to dance.”
Lee Han pretended not to hear and turned away.
* * *
The dance wasn’t too difficult.
Gainando’s mother was a skilled dancer, and Lee Han once risked her life to perform movements several times more difficult than these.
In fact, if Gainando’s mother hadn’t kindly taught him, he might have learned a little faster.
‘It’s awkward because the attack doesn’t fly when I make a mistake.’
Gainando’s mother, not knowing what Lee Han was thinking, kindly emphasized.
“The most important thing in dance is the beat. If you know how to feel the beat, you can somehow follow the rest of the movements. One, two, three. One two three again.”
Gainando’s mother, who saw Lee Han’s movements, was satisfied with the face of a master who was satisfied with his talented student.
In such a short amount of time, this was a great achievement.
“It’s a pity to lose this much talent… Why don’t you listen to it in the second semester?”
“Because I’m actually taking a lot of other lectures.”
Lee Han quickly made an excuse.
Even Professor Voladi was able to admit the excuse that ‘I’m actually listening to all magic’, so I could see the power of this excuse.
“Is that so? It’s a pity.”
Gainando’s mother did not recommend it further.
If you’re at the top of your grade, you’ll do well on your own.
‘I have to say at least one more word to Lord Gonadaltes when I deliver the donation.’
Gainando’s mother still thought she should say something to the Headmaster Skeleton.
It could have been that the Headmaster Skeleton couldn’t hear it.
“really. Anything to look out for at the prom?”
Lee Han asked for advice.
The other friends were still young and lacked the experience of attending social gatherings, but Lee Han was worse than them.
In fact, I was not very interested in social gatherings in the first place.
As such, the advice given by someone like Gainando’s mother was invaluable.
“First of all, it’s better not to get involved with the imperial family.”
“…Uh…”
Lee Han was a little taken aback.
‘Are you saying don’t play with Gainando?’
“I appreciate playing with Gainando, but there is a high possibility that the royal family attending the gathering will be jealous. They are tired all the time.”
Guinando’s mother kindly gave advice, as if she had read her heart.
The purpose of the imperial family was to basically build up their achievements and raise their reputation, and let the social circles of the empire know, ‘I am such a great person, so please support me as the successor’.
As such, he was very interested in the place where the new talents who entered the magic school gathered.
If you were an ambitious student, it wasn’t bad to join hands with one of the members of the royal family to decide a side, but if you didn’t intend to do that, it was better to avoid it.
“If you politely decline a dance or a conversation, the other side will understand and respect Lee Han-goon’s wishes. He is also very proud of himself.”
“???”
Lee Han tilted his head.
‘Isn’t it?’
Even if Lee Han refused, the imperial family continued to tease.
They openly declared in front of Guyan-do that
they would ‘take away Wodanaz’…
“That’s right. I’ll be careful. Aside from people who become annoying when you get close to them, are there people who are nice to get to know?”
“It’s generally not bad if you get to know the city nobles of Granden. I will be staying for years to come, and I will be able to help in some way.”
“ah. It also helped me the other day when I was chasing the undead chimera.”
Kainando’s mother pretended not to hear that the freshmen had chased down and captured the undead chimera.
Indeed, it was the skill of a person who had gone through all sorts of battles in the social world of the empire.
“Among them, the ones that are especially worth knowing are…”
‘Oh.’
Lee Han had high hopes for the summary of the key points of social life in Granden City, which Gainando’s mother was trying to pass down.
“In the case of Grime of the Boud family, it is good for wizards to know because they are in charge of the guild’s materials and reagents…” “
!”
Just listening to the explanation felt like hearing the sound of gold coins.
“ah. for a moment. I can’t.”
“yes? Why? Am I the Wardanaj family?”
Lee Han was taken aback.
I was already imagining in my head that after getting close to each other, I would work happily with my friends until the end of the vacation by receiving various jobs exclusively.
“It’s not because of the Wardanaz family. Grime has spirit blood mixed in, so there is a high possibility that he will be frightened if he talks to Lee Han-goon closely.”
“…????”
Lee Han was taken aback once more.
What do you mean?
“Uh… that… isn’t Kraha talking to me right now?”
Lee Han expected Gainando’s mother to answer, ‘I think so’ or ‘Well, since I was okay, Grime might be okay too’.
Of course, the spirits didn’t like Lee Han very much, but it doesn’t make sense that they didn’t like the mixed spirits as well c… ”
I’m on the strong side, but I’m afraid to miss him a lot, and the blood of the spirits is quite thick…” ”
…. ..”
Instead of denying it, Gainando’s mother drove a nail into it.
Lee Han asked in a sullen voice.
“Am I that overbearing?”
“yes.”
“……”
“Sorry. But it’s something I can’t tell you back.”
Gainando’s mother said very sorry.
Lee Han suddenly became curious and asked.
“Then, does Gainando have strong mental powers, so he doesn’t feel much pressure from me?”
“It’s just that the spirit’s blood isn’t expressed, so I can’t feel it.”
“That’s right.”

The huge hall located in the center of Granden City was originally one of the prides of the city, where city nobles and bureaucrats gathered for important events.
Today, however, it was being used as a place to welcome new students to the Magic School. The students who arrived one by one were amazed at the splendid exterior of the mansion.
Arriving, Lee Han saw the other top students who had arrived first and greeted them briefly. Friends who were acquainted with Lee Han greeted each other or avoided eye contact.
“Why are you averting your gaze?”
“Oh misunderstood. Wodanaz.”
If there was a minor misunderstanding between each other, they did not forget it and resolved it.
“Nilia.”
Lee Han saw that his dark elf friend’s expression was not good and said as if he understood.
“You don’t want to attend the prom. I understand. I don’t really want to participate either.”
“It’s not because of that.”
“No? Then why?”
“Because I got first place in Meikin Mansion…”
“?”
Nilia sighed and took out the paper.
There are a lot of hunters who have nothing to do in the north, but I sent them to the southern coast… Since they can attack from a distance, they seem to be able to deal with monsters well… If they catch monsters well, people will be happy and political instability will decrease… I’m sorry…
” Why did I submit this…”
