Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 341

Chapter 341

‘It’s strange.’

Headmaster Skeleton was bad-tempered, not stupid.

You know for sure that the banquet hall is located in the middle of Granden City, but ignoring the possibility of an outsider involved in it, harassing the students?

‘…Isn’t this my enemy, but the duke’s?’

Lee Han glanced at Duke Ikhaldoren.

The Duke waited with his arms crossed without a change in his expression. In that look, I felt the arrogance of not caring what came out of the alley.

If it ever assaulted students, it should have been more surprised or reacted differently.

‘It’s duke enemy!’

Lee Han regretted inwardly.

The duke’s escort was supposed to be enough.

‘Anyway, the skeleton headmaster doesn’t help.’

Lee Han tried to cooperate by calling an escort.

However, the attack of the enemy in the alley took precedence. The energy that had been getting stronger was refined like a blade and then jumped out with a killing blow.

* * *

As Lee Han had guessed, Duke Ikhaldoren was not surprised.

Of course, it wasn’t because I knew specifically who the opponent was. Duke Ikhaldoren was jaded to such raids.

It was impossible not to have enemies at the level of the Duke of the Empire, and Duke Ikaldoren, who had been the most aggressive among them, had enemies ranging from noble families to criminal guilds one by one.

Most enemies don’t even dare to touch them and lower their tails, but if there are too many of them, they will be attacked like this two or three times a year as a regular event.

Of course, Duke Ikhaldoren was neither intimidated nor cautious about his actions, befitting his arrogant personality.

Instead, the boundaries were raised strongly.

The defensive artifacts currently worn by Duke Ikaldoren were more expensive than a dozen castles, and the escorts waiting around had the fighting power to slaughter a guild.

It was like a walking fortress, but there was no reason to fear an attack by insignificant assassins. What they had to fear were the attacking assassins.

So Duke Ikhaldoren was really not surprised at all.

That’s for raids.

‘How amazing!’

Duke Ikaldoren tried countless guesses about what Lee Han’s actions meant in that short period of time.

Why are you in this situation?

He could have raised his value in front of Princess Adenart, or he could have raised his value in front of Duke Ikhaldoren.

‘Or maybe it’s both.’

Duke weighed in on the latter.

The behavior of that boy from the Wardanaz family was very energetic for a freshman. Many geniuses enter Einrogard, but it was rare for a genius to establish a position and build a reputation like that from the first year.

‘I will respect your ambition. A boy from the Wardanaz family. But there is one thing missing.’

Grasping the situation, Duke Ikaldoren noticed a gap in Lee Han’s plan.

‘That means you have to deal with the raid by yourself after all.’

He couldn’t get help from the duke’s escort since he said he would stop it.

And most of those who want to attack the Duke of Ikaldoren are strong men who have thoroughly prepared themselves to attack the Duke.

‘You won’t know how strong the guys who attack this body are. No matter how genius you are, you are a freshman. It must be difficult to deal with the raiders, right?’

The wizard’s magic was so powerful that it was easy to be mistaken, but the wizard’s combat power was less than expected.

Magic is powerful when perfected, but nothing until perfected.

Those who knew that well played with the wizards easily. From interrupting spells to interrupting concentration, there are many ways to disrupt magic.

Duke Ikaldoren estimated that it would not be easy for Lee Han to defeat the raiders.

If he said that and then received help, that ambitious boy’s face would be greatly damaged, but the duke intended to intervene as soon as Lee Han felt pushed back.

If Lee Han was seriously injured, he would be in trouble too.

‘Even if it helps, don’t resent this body. It’s something I chose myself.’

“master. Be careful. Poison!”

“Stop whining. If you’re serious about shouting, then either your eyes or your brain are out of order.”

The Duke spoke to the escort in a sullen voice. Howie’s face turned red.

If the detoxification ability of the artifacts that the duke now possesses, the duke would not be hurt even if the surroundings were melted down by poison.

In fact, despite the escort’s shouts, the duke did not move a single step.

“What monster is it? Not like slime. It looks like you summoned a mix of spirits and dimension beasts.”

The duke and escort had a rough idea of the assailant’s identity as soon as he crawled out of the alley.

It was possible to get an estimate just by looking at the appearance, as it had been attacked so many times.

Judging by how it wriggled its venom in an irregular form, it was about the size of a slime spirit dimensional beast, but it moved too fast for a slime…

It was highly likely that it was summoned by contaminating or fusing a spirit or dimensional beast with deadly poison.

Perhaps the assailant got information that the duke was passing around here and summoned that poisonous contaminant just in time.

After the situation was over, the culprit had to ask the wizards to track the trail, and now…

‘It’s impossible.’

Duke Ikhaldoren was determined.

The opponent was too bad.

Undoubtedly, an assassin who used complex magic or skill would not be able to respond wisely to an enemy who pushed him roughly in that way.

It had to be suppressed with strength versus strength, but the poison spewed out by that poisonous contaminant was not enough to kill the peacock, but it could lightly melt the surrounding walls. It was too strong a poison for freshmen to decipher.

Besides, it’s not that he’s slow or weak, so if a fight breaks out, a single clash will decide the winner.

“I’ll save you right away when you fall…”

Boom!

“?!”

Duke Ikhaldoren’s eyes shook for the first time in a long time.

Surprisingly, the boy from the Wardanaj family jumped in first!

‘You’re crazy!!’

No matter how young and arrogant he was, that was insane.

At least, the reason why the deadly contaminants didn’t attack right away was that there were many other people besides Lee Han in this place.

It was not at the level of digging a grave for oneself, but at the level of weaving a coffin into it.

* * *

‘Thank God!’

Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.

Apparently, the embarrassing situation of having to borrow the help of the duke’s escort seemed okay.

Fortunately, the opponent’s compatibility was very good.

Woo-woo-

wook- The venom contaminant, enraged at Lee Han, who suddenly ran and gave him a blow, spewed out a thick poison mist.

Any other wizard would have used magic to take away control of the poison, but Lee Han just let it go.

As expected, the poison had no significant effect on Lee Han. Even if he breathed, his enormous magic power diluted the poison like an ocean.

“Park Moo, spread.”

Thanks to his poison resistance, Lee Han used the precious time he learned to cast < Ogonin's Mist >.

Lee Han’s form lost focus and swayed and swayed. The poisonous filth was greatly perplexed by the incomprehensible sequence of events.

It wouldn’t matter if the opponent was a cold-hearted and experienced enemy, but if it was a summoned body like that, it would have excellent physical abilities, but it would be weak against such an unexpected situation. Lee Han immediately cast the next spell.

“Bone, seize the enemy.”

It wasn’t a powerful force, but it was enough to hinder the movement of poisonous pollutants.

Bone restraints sprang from the ankles of poisonous contaminants many times faster than other normal wizards.

“Get fired!”

Sharp pieces of bone lodged in the poisonous taint’s body like bullets.

It wasn’t a normal body structure, it wasn’t a fatal wound, but the pain didn’t go anywhere. The venomous filth howled and fired venom into the surroundings.

Chiyiyi profit!

‘Ugh.’

Lee Han clicked his tongue as he watched the melting cape and clothes. Fortunately, they were not purchased with his own money, but with the family’s money.

‘I’ll have to be careful.’

Duke Ikaldoren would have been shocked if he had heard Lee Han’s inner thoughts.

In the midst of such a bloody fight, I was not worried about my life, but I was worried about my clothes.

‘It’s not like the ghoul king’s defense or evasion is unusual. Can I keep the body as it is and just put damage on it?’

After completing the calculations, Lee Han immediately took action.

Summon illusion alter-ego After casting invisible magic, cast 5-fold strengthening magic consecutively on iron beads, then fire!

puck!

The action was so swift and unhesitating that the reaction of the duke’s escorts was delayed by half a beat.

The escorts were amazed at Lee Han’s successive magics, exceeding their expectations and much faster.

To think that a freshman cast magic continuously at that speed in a fierce battle situation.

For the escorts, who had to anticipate and prepare for any situation in advance and not be surprised, it was close to humiliation.

“I knocked him down. Be sure to finish!”

He wanted to start a fire himself, but he didn’t want the fire to spread or something unexpected to happen if he reacted to it, so Lee Han called the escorts.

The escorts drew their swords and swung them as if they had waited.

When the flaming sword exploded, the deadly taint that had already suffered a fatal blow to the chest and was immobilized was engulfed in blue flames.

The magic flame burned the poison in an instant, catching and swallowing the contaminants. Lee Han saw the swords the guards had and cursed inwardly.

‘I thought he was just watching with artifacts like that?’

Of course, Lee Han stepped forward to deal with him, but couldn’t he have helped a bit?

Lee Han isn’t even a narrow-minded person to the point of blaming him for that!

“Huh… that’s great.”

Duke Ikaldoren said, belatedly adjusting his expression in an unexpected situation.

Seeing that, Rowena felt pleasure. It was the first time the Duke, who had always behaved arrogantly without changing his expression, showed such a reaction.

“I didn’t expect to give the ball to my escorts.”

‘ah.’

Lee Han belatedly realized the meaning of the duke’s words.

Originally, there was a big difference between ‘Lee Han alone’ and ‘Lee Han and the duke’s escort’. And everyone likes to eat alone.

But Lee Han didn’t care.

‘I’m not the one with the bounty. It doesn’t matter.’

It wasn’t like sharing the bounty, so sharing some balls didn’t change anything.

Anyway, wouldn’t the duke do the case anyway? If you cut the case for conceding to your escort, it was not a duke, but a courtesan.

“The ball was not important, but I thought the priority was to quickly subdue that enemy and secure the safety of the surroundings.”

His friends applauded, but Duke Ikhaldoren was not fooled.

There’s no way such an ambitious guy would give in just for that reason.

That was a signal to the duke.

-I am as ambitious as you are. Ambitious people like us can make a deal.

Duke Ikaldoren felt like he could hear Lee Han talking like that.

Other than that, there was no reason to be kind.

How ambitious people recognize each other.

Age didn’t matter.

Duke Ikhaldoren elevated his opponents not merely to talented freshmen, but to young aspirants who deserved to be seated equally across the table.

“…understood. Let’s try to think positively.”

not bad.

Duke Ikhaldoren also had to get information inside the magic school.

No matter how ambitious the boy of the Wodanaz family may be, a mutually beneficial transaction is possible.

“…no. Your Highness the Duke! Before the duke…what kind of guy is that??”

Lee Han murmured as the duke walked away, but Rowena pretended not to hear that Lee Han cursed at the duke.
