Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 353
Chapter 353
“Why is that?”
Alcicle looked at Eumidhus with blank eyes.
“Alcicle Pengerin. What reagents are these reagents?”
“Eumidihus…”
Arsicle blurted out his words at the teacher’s absurd question.
“You don’t know what kind of reagent this reagent is…?”
“……”
Eumidhus was worried about whether to beat the disciple who felt sorry for him like a piece of shit, but endured it.
“…I didn’t ask because I didn’t know. Isn’t it Seolhwangdan, the horn of the seori deer, the iceberg mountain, and the perennial cold snow?”
“Then why did you ask?”
“Your pockets won’t be so good, so I’m asking if I can use this. You should do your research too.”
The biggest problem when learning cold element magic was the nature of the cold element itself.
Life is basically a being that emits heat and rejects cold.
No matter how cold and harsh the surrounding environment was, it was not easy for a living wizard to accept the coldness into his body.
So, cold elemental wizards used reagents to transform the properties of cold.
It has the coldness of cold air, but it is cold that does not harm the wizard’s body.
Of course, it was not an easy task and expensive reagents were involved.
The more expensive and rare the reagents, the better the performance, so it wasn’t a bad choice for Alcicle to bring out such expensive reagents.
…because it looks like all of Arcicle’s property.
‘Oops!’
Alcicle seemed to be belatedly aware of his situation.
It was pitiful to see the hesitant look, so Eumidius sighed.
“Even now…”
“It’s probably because Pengerin-sama doesn’t really need these reagents.”
“……”
“……”
Eumidius and Arcicle looked at Lee Han at the same time.
However, Lee Han continued without a change in expression.
“A good wizard doesn’t cover his wand.”
“That’s true, but what Alcicle is trying to do…”
“Isn’t it? Pengerin?”
“Water, of course.”
Alcicle nodded at Lee Han’s question.
“To me, reagents like that are just… decorations. Should I say that it is enough to go out and pick up a snowflake without needing something like that…”
“I thought you would. ruler. Please proceed.”
“……”
Yumidhus thought that he would not be able to leave Lee Han alone with Alcicle from now on.
At first, I was worried that Alcicle would bother Lee Han, but now that I look at it, I don’t think it would be surprising if Lee-han ate Alcicle just by eating it.
* * *
Whoa!
Even though it was clearly inside the sealed tower, a blizzard that was colder than the snowy mountains outside began to blow.
Surprisingly, this cold blizzard had no effect on Lee Han’s body.
Cold but not cold eyes.
It was a phenomenon that only magic could create.
“Originally, the cold element is difficult to use unless it is in a specific environment.”
Alcicle waddled and pointed at the ceiling.
A huge magic core placed on the tower’s ceiling was dispersing cold air.
The cold element was difficult to maintain naturally among the elements, so it was inconvenient to use it unless it was a specific natural environment or a magical device like this.
For wizards who have reached the level, such inconvenience was not a problem, but the problem was for newly learned wizards.
Alcicle searched around the corner and brought out a staff. His expression was full of pride.
“ruler. look at this see?”
“This is…”
“Yes. It’s Frostagon’s egg.”
The giant insect egg embedded in the tip of the wand glowed strangely, scattering blue cold air.
A wand with this cold attribute was of great help to new wizards.
“The wand is so precious that three people were seriously injured and seven others were injured at the ice mages auction meeting in the north where it came from.”
“…?”
Lee Han, who was listening, thought to himself.
Why is there an injured person at the auction meeting?
“I will lend you this wand. Wodanaz. More than me c… worse than me… moan… So if you’re a talented person like you, you’ll be a good match.”
Alcicle couldn’t bear to say that he had a higher talent than himself or that he had a lower talent, and eventually turned it around and expressed it.
“Thank you…”
“Wardanaz. You must have the stone the King of the Frost Giants gave you.”
“……”
Lee Han cursed at himself for not sending Professor Voladi outside.
‘shit. I was comfortable. I shouldn’t have been careless.’
Professor Boladi had a knack for breaking the mood not only in his own lectures but also in other people’s lectures.
Alcicle, who hadn’t grasped the situation yet, asked with his eyes wide open.
“A stone given by the King of the Frost Giants?”
“That’s… well…”
No matter how talented Lee Han was, he couldn’t come up with the right words for the current situation.
Kindly Professor Voladi answered instead.
“The stone I received from the confrontation with the King of the Frost Giants is on my staff. Better than Frostagon’s eggs.”
“……”
Lee Han could see tears welling up in Alcicle’s eyes.
Alcicle turned his head away for a second, sniffled, then returned. His expression was solemn, but his eyes were red.
“Then… you won’t need a wand.”
“yes.”
“…Can you go out for a while? Ballady Bagleg?”
Alcicle spoke to Professor Voladi in a very grumpy voice.
However, Professor Voladi answered seriously.
“If there is something wrong with education, it should be pointed out.”
“Keugh…”
Alcicle couldn’t refute Professor Voladi’s words.
Unlike Voladi Baegrek, who had a lot of experience teaching students as a professor at Ein Rogard, Alcicle had no teaching experience.
Of course, Lee Han was dumbfounded.
‘I knew you had no conscience, but you’re amazing!’
To lie so calmly that there was no one to testify about Einrogard.
“…Call me from the cold.”
“Freeze.”
Along with Lee Han’s spell, cold energy began to gather at the tip of the staff.
The air around him grew colder and goose bumps appeared on Lee Han’s skin.
“The foundation is laid. Let’s start with shape transformation. conical shape.”
“Cold to the cone!”
“Arrow form.”
“Cold with arrows!”
“…in shield form.”
“Frozen with a shield!”
“……”
When Alcicle suddenly stopped talking, Lee Han thought he had made a mistake.
“…Are you learning ice magic for the first time?”
“yes? no. I learned from Professor Voladi.”
“what!”
Alcicle shouted with a brightened face.
“Then you shouldn’t have said that! You were surprised!”
It was an arcicle that I was shocked to think that Lee Han had mastered it at once.
When I heard that it was not, my heart suddenly warmed.
Professor Voladi, who was watching from the side, opened his mouth.
“I don’t do various form conversions like that…”
“Now. What is the next teaching?”
“launch.”
Alcicle swung his staff.
Then, a piece of ice floating in the air flew away with an ear-piercing sound.
Kang!
“Perhaps this is why Eumidhus-sama made me learn cold elemental magic. Water is not a suitable element for launching.”
“But wouldn’t it be okay if we used it for operational purposes?”
Lee Han asked as if wondering.
‘Launch’ and ‘Operation’ looked similar, but the principles were different.
What Alcicle had just shown was an accurate trajectory calculation and a single injection of powerful force to launch an ice shard.
On the other hand, the water beads or iron beads that Lee Han often uses were targeted and controlled individually by the wizard.
It was meticulously maneuverable, but it took a great deal of effort to become skilled enough to use it.
“Why do you do that? It’s just a matter of learning other elements and learning launch magic.”
“…To respond quickly in an emergency?”
At the student’s words, Professor Voladi nodded.
However, Alcicle did not understand Lee Han’s words.
“Isn’t it rare to be in a situation like that? I think you should act so that you don’t fall into such a situation in the first place. If you try to prepare for everything like that, you have to prepare for everything. Above all, it would take too long for it to produce usable power through operation.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at Professor Boladi involuntarily. Professor Voladi wondered, as if asking why.
“If you want to use it in battle, it’s better to learn attributes suitable for battle. Let’s take a break and practice shooting.”
“ah. I’m fine.”
“no. Even if it looks fine now, there will definitely be a loss of mana.”
Alcicle pulled the cork off the magic recovery potion and took a sip. He also threw a potion at Lee Han.
“Drink and restore your mana. The cold element consumes more mana than I thought. Thinking like any other element can hurt you badly. Whoops. Didn’t you know this?”
Alcicle seemed very excited to be able to teach Lee Han.
“Use it…”
“Thank you. I will drink well.”
Lee Han stopped talking and drank the potion before Professor Voladi lowered the temperature of the room further with useless words.
Of course it had no effect.
* * *
Fire was a concept used in many elemental magics.
In order to shoot fire arrows, cold arrows, rock arrows, etc. in the form of something, you had to learn this shooting attribute.
Of course, learning this wasn’t easy.
Basically, you had to have a sense of distance and direction, and you had to learn how much horsepower to put in to get the right power…
Kang!
“Is that correct?”
The ice shards Lee Han shot accurately penetrated the target.
It wasn’t easy to launch, but it was relatively easy for a person who had done much more difficult operations than this.
Alcicle pursed his lips.
I’ve already practiced shapeshifting, but I’m sure it won’t be the firing attribute…
“It’s normal. It’s about average.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
There didn’t seem to be anything wrong, but it was normal.
“What do I need to fix?”
“…I said that the water element and the cold element have a pretty close relationship, right? One of them is this.”
Alcicle couldn’t take back what he said once, so he pushed on.
jump!
As he swung his staff, the ice fragments stuck in the wall evaporated and absorbed the surrounding heat strongly.
Then, the cold air that had spread around the ice cube exploded.
“In order to get a high evaluation, you have to combine the evaporation property and use an explosive ice arrow.”
As Alcicle said, he glanced at Voladi Baegrek.
Even if he said it, it was too much bullshit.
It was already 3 circles from the ice arrow launch magic, but to add the attribute of evaporation to it.
Considering the difficulty of the evaporation attribute, it is one of the best in the 4th circle magic
!
When Lee Han cast his magic, the flying ice fragments hit the wall and evaporated, causing damage.
Lee Han was very happy when he succeeded at once.
I learned the evaporation property with the water element, but I never thought it would be so easily applied to the cold element.
“Success!”
“Ah… ah… I’m still a little short of Joe, right?”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han started to feel a little suspicious.
I think this is above average…
‘Aren’t the standards for cold elemental mages too high?’
“professor. Originally, cold elemental magic was so severe… ah, it’s not.”
“?”
Lee Han, who tried to ask Professor Boladi, quickly gave up.
Even if I asked, he was a meaningless person.
“All right. What can I fix this time?”
“I should be able to compress each process and cast it all at once!”
Alcicle shouted with a bright face.
It came up with quite plausible conditions.
In order to clearly prove proficiency, it was necessary to be able to cast the magic process at once, rather than dividing it into parts.
“Surely that will take some time.”
“yes? yes?! yes??!”
Alcicle was very happy and nodded his head.
‘Is this something to be happy about?’
Professor Voladi opened his mouth from the side.
“I will help.”
“Haha. It’s okay.”
