Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 342

Chapter 342

: “He has no conscience!”

Lee Han was furious inside.

He treated me as politely as possible, saying he was a duke, but to think he would do something like that.

Who was the target of the now summoned venom contaminant?

It was the Duke of Ikhaldoren, not Lee Han or Lee Han’s friends.

Then, if the deadly contaminants were blocked, of course, shouldn’t we start by paying tribute by saying, ‘Thank you, Einrogard students are very energetic’.

Of course, Lee Han knew that the skeleton principal had done it, but it didn’t matter. Either way, the results mattered.

But suddenly, I was about to leave, talking nonsense about thinking positively.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was only one answer.

It was to save money.

‘I can’t forgive.’

A poor person would understand, but a guy who generously scatters gold coins in the name of a riddle that is useless to Adenart, sparing gold coins for saving his own life.

“There will be no more shameless and shameless nobles in the Empire. It’s disgusting.”

“…Oh no. Mr. Wodanaz. Duke Ikhaldoren is being rude… but…?”

At first, Rowena was happy that Lee Han cursed with her, but she gradually became embarrassed.

Duke Ikhaldoren wasn’t like that.

It was rude, but he was always one of the princess’s supporters and didn’t cross the line…?

“Rowenna. I think I know a little why you consider the Duke of Ikhaldoren your lifelong enemy.”

“yes? I didn’t say that much.”

Ignoring Rowena’s explanation, Lee Han moved on.

The duke had already gone far away, but several of the duke’s escorts remained and were tidying up the area.

It was familiar to him that he hadn’t done it once or twice in the image of reliably removing the burnt poison contaminant, checking that there was no contamination around him, and calmly collecting traces and evidence of summoning the deadly poison contaminant.

Seeing that, Lee Han became even more confident.

‘It’s true that I was aiming for the duke.’

taste was bitter.

I should have just watched, so I intervened and threw away my clothes…

“Has His Highness the Duke left anything for you?”

Lee Han asked the escorts just in case. Instead of tidying up, the escorts straightened their clothes.

It wasn’t simply because Lee Han was from the Wardanaj family.

The appearance he just showed was enough for Lee Han to earn the respect of his escorts.

He was only a first-year student, but with that level of combat power, it was certain that he would become a major wizard with a reputation throughout the empire as time passed.

In addition, their owner, the Duke of Ikaldoren, also seemed to value Lee Han very highly.

Didn’t I just say that I was positive about the offer?

The Duke never said anything empty.

“Mrs. Wardanaz.”

“yes. I left…”

“There was no such word.”

“……”

Lee Han was serious.

The escorts, unaware of their inner thoughts, said with coy eyes.

“You don’t need to.”

“you’re right. We’ll be talking to each other soon.”

“…?”

Lee Han wondered if the escorts were crazy.

Why are you talking about the army like flattery all of a sudden?

‘Is the owner crazy as a group?’

* * *

“It was really hard. Wodanaz.”

Even the guards came and cleaned up, and when the duke’s escorts left, Cltran praised Lee Han.

Although not as experienced as the duke’s escorts, Cltran also had a vague sense of how well Lee Han fought.

“okay. thanks.”

Lee Han held out his hand. Cltran took that hand.

Then, Lee Han put his hand away and took Cltran’s mantle.

“I meant to borrow your cloak.”

“…Ughhhhhhhhhh.”

Lee Han’s top and cloak were in tatters from fighting the poisonous contaminants. Lee Han put on the cloak of Cltran and said.

“Cltran. Since you are the White Tiger Tower, you will often receive requests during vacations.”

“Is that right?”

“Don’t accept Duke Ikaldoren’s request. He is a very petty person.”

“is it? More than that, wodhanaz. A riddle…”

“A riddle is a riddle. Even if you solve it, nothing will come out.”

Lee Han grumbled like that, but he knew inside that it wasn’t.

Duke Ikaldoren didn’t give Lee Han a reward, but he was definitely giving a reward for the princess even if he jumped out.

Gold coins came out last time, so they will come again.

‘Thinking like that makes me even more angry.’

“If we solve it together, will I share it too?”

“That’s true, but gold coins aren’t particularly important to you, are they? I don’t know if it’s someone like me.”

At Cltran’s words, Lee Han tried to punish Gainan as well, but endured it.

He lent me his cloak, so he endured it once.

“great. Princess. Let’s solve it together.”

“I knew you would say that. Wodanaz.”

Cltran grinned.

Gradually, I felt like I knew what kind of person Wodanaz was.

Although Wodanaz spoke coldly on the outside, his actions were often warm.

‘Durgyu didn’t say that for nothing.’

I figured I’d definitely take part in this one.

Even if he grumbled on the outside, there was no way he would just ignore it when it was related to a friend.

As expected…

“I know what to say, you bastard. I’m already pissed off about the duke, do you want to cheer up?”

“I’m sorry.”

Cltran flinched for a moment.

Even though I knew it in my head, I couldn’t help but be afraid.

Dalgrak-

Lee Han and his friends went into a nearby cafe and sat down.

Rowena had juice made by grinding five vegetables, Cltran had eggnog with a little more rum, Lee Han had coffee, and the princess hesitated between chocolate and vanilla before ordering chocolate cake. Lee Han ordered another vanilla cake and pushed it in front of the princess.

“So the riddle… um…”

Dear Honorable Adenart, I hope this riddle will soothe your boredom.

Here’s a wand. As the wizard walked with the staff, the stream opened the way. As we crossed the stream, the wind cleared the wall blocking our way. As the walls disappeared, night came. Then a flash of light lit the way. I wonder what kind of wand this wand is.

“????”

Lee Han read it all and raised his head.

“Are you asking me to guess what artifact it is?”

Lee Han thought that he was not good at riddles as much as he was a small duke.

Isn’t it a good riddle to guess what artifact it is?

If it was a riddle, Lee Han could also come up with a riddle.

Something like ‘What is the 3rd card from the top of Gainando’s card deck?’…

“Ah. That’s not it. It’s more like trying to make a wand like this yourself.”

“…no, why is that a mystery… It doesn’t matter.”

Han Lee realized how good the riddle of the talking oak tree he encountered in the mountains was.

This isn’t a riddle, it’s just ‘Can you make a wand like this?’

“The water element, the wind element, the light element. Try to make at least 3 stuck artifact wands? The difficulty is also difficult, but the power required is too much?”

“ah. That’s not it. It’s more like a metaphor, and it doesn’t matter if it’s much less powerful in reality.”

“……”

Lee Han felt the desire to point it out even though it was not his job.

‘If I wrote that the brook opened the way, it should be enough to cut the brook, what the hell…’ Lee

Han, who was grumbling inwardly, paused when he realized that he was saying the same thing as the professor at Ein Rogard.

Both the riddle solver and the riddle solver were satisfied, but there was no reason for Lee Han to break colic.

‘okay. There’s nothing wrong with ending well with each other. Let’s take only gold coins.’

“If the power is weak, I just need to complete the staff with the three enchantments… Uh. Isn’t it easy?”

Lee Han, who was examining the conditions, was puzzled.

Even if the power was weak, the difficulty went down a lot more than expected.

Of course, it wasn’t that easy to cast 3 types of enchantment magic and other elemental magic.

Each time you cast an enchantment, the difficulty of casting goes up, and if it’s a different element class, it goes up again.

However, for Lee Han, who had already experienced the hellish Verdus course in the first semester, that was quite doable.

Isn’t it much better than making a shield that floats and moves and defends itself against attacks?

“……”

“……”

Rowena and Cltran became depressed at Lee Han’s words.

The gentle madness of the senior year had made them sullen.

“Oh no. It’s hard when you think about it.”

Lee Han noticed the reaction of the two and exchanged words, but it was too late.

“no. Mr. Wodanaz. You don’t have to be considerate of us.”

“Right… Wodanaz. You don’t have to take care of us. No wonder we look like monkeys to you.”

“It is a misunderstanding. Cltran. I never thought of myself as a monkey. I’ve never thought of him as worse than Gainando… No. no. Anyway, it doesn’t look that difficult.”

At Lee Han’s words, the princess who finished the second cake raised her hand and said,

“Even if only two are stacked, they collide with each other and the casting difficulty increases, but three seems impossible.”

“You can use the magic circle as an auxiliary device.”

“A staff-like artifact… a magic circle?”

The princess asked, slightly raising her eyebrows.

The smaller the size and volume of the artifact, the more difficult it was to engrave magic on it.

The staff was not a good tool for imprinting the enchantment from that point of view.

Of course, really good endowment mages would compress the magic circle and engrave it on the staff using their skills, but that level of skill was not at the level that a freshman could do.

Then Cltran answered instead.

“With Wardanaz, you can definitely do it. yes?”

“It’s not?”

“…no?”

“Of course, you should omit the unnecessary parts. I’m going to omit everything related to upkeep or duration.”

“???”

The princess tilted her head.

Rowena and Cltran also tilted their heads, but it was because they couldn’t keep up with the words, and the princess tilted her head because there was something she didn’t understand.

If you remove all parts related to upkeep or spell duration, wouldn’t it disappear after a few seconds as soon as you cast a spell on the staff?

“Then the time…”

“You can fill it with horsepower. If you pour magic power, the maintenance or duration will increase.”

“……”

The princess was confused whether to agree to this ignorant method or not.

It’s obviously logically correct, but is it okay to do it in such an expedient way?

The princess looked away, curious about the opinions of the other two.

“What do you two think…”

“It seems that Mr. Wardanaz is right.”

“me too.”

“……”

The princess let out a sigh inaudibly at the sight of the two agreeing right away, not wanting to find out that they couldn’t keep up.

Lee Han looked at it and shook his head.

‘It’s bound to be difficult if there’s only Gainan Island around.’

A sense of despair that only one person understands the task in a group assignment.

This despair was something only those who experienced it could understand.

A situation where you can’t convince others to participate in any way, and you have to solve it yourself!

Lee Han nodded as if he understood. Adenart looked at her with slightly emotional eyes and nodded.

Lee Han, who was sipping coffee, suddenly became curious and asked Rowena. “By the way, wands are going to be quite expensive even if you try to practice

, so how are you planning to get them?

You can get it if you ask the sponsors.”

“……”

Lee Han secretly pulled back his chair at the sight of the princess and her party having a different way of thinking.
