Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 382
Chapter 382
: Clap!
As the king of ghouls had taught me, I touched the wall behind the pillar, and with the sound of the machinery moving, the space hidden inside was revealed.
Seeing this, Lee Han suddenly became anxious.
‘Couldn’t it be bones again?’
Come to think of it, the concept of the Undead’s treasure could have been a little different.
He’s still the king, but a few jewels…
“Junior!!!!”
Ogoldos, who entered first, shouted with a voice full of joy. Lee Han asked excitedly.
“What do you have?”
“Bone! bone!!! Bone!!!!”
“……”
Lee Han was serious for the first time in a while.
* * *
“Don’t you know what a treasure is?”
Are you sure you don’t know what that bone is? How dare you dare…
The king of ghouls was enraged by Lee Han’s attitude.
What a shameless attitude to show you the treasure you’ve been hiding.
“Those bones are treasures for warlocks, not for me.”
gibberish! You must be a warlock…
Lee Han summoned the lightning element and compressed it, but failed again and threw it at the king of ghouls.
That was not enough, so I pulled out the morning star as well.
“Look at this. Do I still look like a warlock? I mean, remember the last time we fought.”
……
In order to get what he wanted, Lee Han could have insisted as much as he wanted.
And from the position of the king of ghouls, there was no choice but to be shaken.
If you think about the last time Lee Han fought, he wasn’t a typical warlock.
“If you want to trust each other! Shouldn’t you come up with the right thing!”
Lee Han harshly reprimanded the shaking ghoul king. It was like a professor reprimanding a student for not doing his homework properly.
Ogoldos looked at him like a madman.
‘What are you doing…!’
During the black magic lecture, I learned a lot about ‘things to be aware of when dealing with undead beings from other dimensions’, but I had never seen anything like that.
…Wait. because i’m thinking
“Aren’t you trying to hide the treasure you have now?”
to shut up As a king, do you think you remember all the treasures of the palace?
The king of ghouls, annoyed at the frantic concentration, fired at him.
‘Don’t you remember everything?’
Lee Han was surprised.
If Lee Han were the king, he would have memorized the entire list of treasures…
One thing came to mind.
“also! I believed.”
But before that, swear on your honor.
Originally, they wanted to be bound by a proper contract, but now that they were separated by a magic circle, the only thing they could trust was each other’s words.
I promise to open the magic circle without arguing anymore!
The king of ghouls had no intention of keeping his promise himself, but he had no idea that the other party would break it.
It was because he believed that only he was vicious and despicable.
However, a being more despicable than the king of ghouls was right in front of him.
“of course. I swear.”
…There’s one more hidden warehouse on the other side.
‘Do the undead have a habit of building warehouses around them?’
How many secret warehouses were set up in the space where the throne is located?
I could very well feel how much I couldn’t trust my subordinates.
“…?”
As the king of ghouls told him to do, Lee Han, who revealed the hidden storage, hesitated.
A huge door, never seen before, was guarding the warehouse.
The metal door engraved with a unique pattern exudes strange magical power no matter what material it was made of.
Ogoldos next to him groaned.
“It must be difficult.”
When people without experience often think of exploring dungeons or ruins, they think of a skilled technician (suspiciously friendly with the thieves’ guild, but not a thief) skillfully unlocking locked doors and dismantling devices.
But most explorations have not gone so smoothly.
Usually a locked door or device was much stronger than the skill of the person unlocking it, and most had to be turned around or evaded.
“hey. King of Ghouls! How did this happen?”
I made it clear It’s just that you can’t open it. Originally, that door is a door that opens only when my power dwells in it.
The ghoul king said patiently, lest his cunning leak out.
In fact, the door to that warehouse was made by the best undead sculptors and blacksmiths in the realm under the orders of the ghoul king.
A door made by collecting and mixing eight metals, feeding them with the blood of thirteen races, and tempering them with six-dimensional flames.
Since it was a masterpiece completed during the heyday of the kingdom, it was not a door that would be opened by a few wizards working hard.
I will open the door if you let me out.
“Right. i get it. Try hard to open it.”
Didn’t you swear that you would open it up without any more faults!
“That’s when I got hold of the treasure.”
Lee Han ignored it.
Even if I had it in my hands, I wasn’t going to protect it, but since I couldn’t get it, I had no intention of pretending to listen.
The ghoul king swears at him from behind, but it didn’t reach Lee Han’s ears.
“senior. Let’s move aside for a moment.”
Lee Han let Ogoldos out of the way and then poured out his magic.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
From water octane to arrows with superimposed strengthening magic.
Despite the maximum amount of firepower, the door was not even scratched.
“Wouldn’t it be better to give up on this and just wait?”
“hmm. I can’t help it… Hold on. senior. Take a look over here.”
Lee Han pointed at the huge bedrock next to the door guarding the warehouse.
A suoctan that had just missed had left a small mark on the huge rock.
“Shall we pierce this way?”
“…Are you serious?!”
Ogoldos was bewildered.
It was a structure that came out right after opening the door, but I had no idea how far I had to go round to bypass the bedrock next to it.
“You have nothing to do anyway.”
“…That’s true…”
Ogoldos thought to himself when he saw the junior trying to break through the bedrock because he couldn’t penetrate the door.
‘It must be really popular if I go to the punishment room.’
It was a talent that other students confined to the punishment room would try to recruit while swallowing their mouths.
* * *
“You say that now!”
When Professor Garcia roared, Professor Mortum shrank.
“If there are ruins like that in a dangerous place, we should send the students out first!”
“That… that’s a bit overprotective…”
The saying that it’s scary when someone who doesn’t normally get angry gets angry was a perfect fit for Professor Garcia.
Professor Mortum couldn’t meet Professor Garcia’s eyes and crawled.
“Besides, why did you take a first year student to the undead dimension!”
“That… that… I thought it would be okay since I dealt with the King of Frost Giants as well.”
“……”
Professor Garcia, who was angry at this, was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Professor Mortum quickly sent a request for help to Headmaster Skeleton.
“Gonadaltes. please help Isn’t there anything good about making students cheap? A good wizard must overcome hardships…”
Since the Skull Principal usually tries to force the students into crisis, Professor Mortum knew that the Skeleton Principal would take his side.
There is no point in protecting students.
Throw in a crisis to increase your magic skills.
Wasn’t this the argument that the usual Headmaster Skeleton insisted on?
However, the skeleton principal refused coldly.
No matter how much, taking a first year student into the undead dimension was a bit harsh.
“!??!”
Professor Mortum looked at the skeleton principal with eyes full of betrayal.
I could understand Professor Garcia’s anger. Because he was originally a person who cared for his disciples.
However, what the skeleton principal did was very pretentious.
“Isn’t that too much!”
It’s you who took a first-year student with you. don’t you have any idea? That’s why the number of students who want to learn black magic is gradually decreasing.
Headmaster Skeleton coldly cut off Professor Mortum.
It was a situation that had been warned by the Emperor of the Empire. Even though he couldn’t be stopped in such a situation, Professor Mortum, who had an accident like that, couldn’t look nice.
It was best to blame Professor Mortum rather than taking sides with the emperor.
‘Let’s see!’
Professor Mortum gritted his teeth at his respected teacher’s betrayal.
Even if he asked for useful Undead later, he would never give them up.
So… is that all there is to it? You cleaned things up better than I thought.
The Skeleton Principal floated around and looked around.
In fact, Professor Mortum made the best choice.
When Lee Han and Ogoldos went missing inside the palace, he took the remaining disciples outside and went on a search alone with the undead.
If I had found it so well, other professors would have said ‘You’re great’, but unfortunately the reality was different.
Because the palace was protected by powerful magic, the search took a lot of time.
When the start date came, Professor Mortum swallowed his tears and sent a message to the skeleton principal, who passed it on to other professors
… will be.
I was thinking of getting rid of the other adventurers. Why do knights have this kind of head? maybe you
“no.”
Then I won’t praise you. Call the knights. I need to give you some praise.
“……”
It was good to minimize the variables to break through the defense of the profound ruins inside the dimensional gate.
If there were adventurers roaming about pretending that the road to another dimension had opened, I tried to chase them down by catching and swallowing them all, but the knights had already done it.
Headmaster Skeleton was quite impressed.
The knights accepted the headmaster’s praise with the utmost courtesy.
Professors are allowed to joke with the Headmaster Skeleton, but knights could never do that.
If he did that to Lord Gonadaltes, the infamous archmage of the empire, he could have turned into a frog and spent his life locked up in a cage.
“thank you. Lord Gonadaltes!”
okay. do that in the future
“Uh… but the adventurers keep asking me to release them, so what should I do?”
to keep it locked up. There’s nothing good about letting the noisy adventurers loose.
Skeleton Principal said plainly.
I had to focus on breaking through the dimensional ruins from now on, but I didn’t want to release the annoying adventurers.
How annoying would it be if they let them go and sneak in again?
Professor Garcia asked cautiously.
“Would you like to protest?”
let me do it if you want to fall behind
Headmaster Skeleton ignored it as if he would no longer care about such trifles.
It’s important to find disciples, what’s so important about being locked up for a few more weeks, adventurers?
You should be full anyway…
Of course, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky for the confined anti-magicists.
-no! Why can’t you let go! Is it okay to be an Imperial Knight like this!?
– Under the laws of the Empire, I have the right to be protected! Call the Administrator!
* * *
Day.
“How far has it been?”
I found about half the rules.
“Fortunately, the.”
Professor Mortum answered with relief.
Even in his old age, the teacher was always a reliable presence in front of his pupil.
Two days.
“How far has it been?”
There are some pitfalls in the rules.
“Oh…”
“It’s really unfortunate.”
…?
As Professor Garcia was sitting next to him, the skeleton principal was about to say something.
three days.
“How far has it been?”
I removed the defensive magic and strengthened the palace so that it would not collapse… wait. Why do you guys keep growing?
Headmaster Skeleton was shocked at the increasing number of professors in the village.
Semester has already started, so who is going to lecture?
“I heard about it for a while.”
Professor Garcia’s gone… I don’t think other professors would be so sincere. Do I really need to take the evaluation seriously? The professors who abandoned the lecture should return immediately.
The professors grumbled and rose from their seats at the shameful threat of the skeleton headmaster.
But there were also people who didn’t.
Headmaster Skeleton looked at Professor Voladi and said as if he was dumbfounded.
…Professor Bagreck. Hurry back before hanging upside down and kicking them out.
“??”
Why are you bewildered? I am the one to be bewildered!
