Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 425

Chapter 425

“What are you doing now?”

Lee Han carefully answered Professor Alcasis’ question.

“Professor Verdus is asking for help.”

“…what?”

“Artifact… production?”

“……”

Professor Arkasis looked out of the room as if he was dumbfounded, then looked at Lee Han once, then looked outside again.

and opened the door

Professor Verdus, who had been waiting with innocent eyes, looked up at the two as the door opened and tilted his head.

“uh? Professor Lagrinde! nice to meet you!”

“Nice to meet you. … So what are you doing?”

Professor Alcasis’ voice was as cold as ice.

Actually, rather than a question, it was closer to ‘do you know what you’re doing?’

“Are you making artifacts?”

“Is this an artifact of low difficulty?”

Professor Alkasis tried to understand Professor Verdus as much as possible by gathering the last bits of faith.

If it was a practice artifact for the lower grades, it would have been natural to take Wodanaz to practice.

“It’s not? It’s my research project.”

“You mean the professor’s research project?”

“huh!”

Professor Verdus nodded. Despite his racially cute appearance as a beaver beastman, Professor Verdus tended to provoke other people’s anger.

‘Are your fists flying?’

Lee Han habitually looked at Professor Alkasis’ hand.

Usually, when other professors were dealing with Professor Verdus, it was easier to read their emotions if they touched their hands.

If it’s tight, it means that it’s about to be hit, and if the tendon is twitching, it’s still a little bit better…

Surprisingly, Professor Alcasis didn’t move at all.

“Did you know that if an artifact is difficult enough for the professor to proceed with, there is a high possibility that a first-year student will have an accident while proceeding with it, and in that case, it will inevitably lead to injury?”

“You just have to be careful! He’s not good at magic, but he’s kind of meticulous, so he’ll be fine!”

Lee Han put on a slightly hurt expression.

Except for Professor Verdus, he hadn’t heard anywhere that he was bad at magic.

“And if you get hurt, you can treat it.”

“What if I can’t heal in the treatment room?”

“Shouldn’t we call the healing wizards in the school and treat them?”

“Is that so? …hey. Go out for a while.”

Professor Arkasis pointed to the basilisk egg and gestured to Lee Han.

It meant to go outside for a while with eggs.

Professor Verdus tilted his head.

“Can I just take you with me when the conversation is over?”

“Professor, stay for a while.”

Lee Han, who grasped the atmosphere, quickly packed the basilisk egg and closed the cabin door.

Despite the magic blocking the sound, it seemed that Professor Verdus’s screams could be heard faintly.

As Al trembled, Lee Han patted him as if he was okay.

“It’s because it’s Professor Verdus. You don’t do that to other people.”

* * *

At the end of the conversation, Professor Verdus said in a downcast voice.

“You don’t have to help.”

“Could you speak more maturely?”

“I’ve come to realize that asking a freshman to help create a professor-level artifact is not only dangerous, but it also puts too much pressure on the student.”

“Good job.”

Professor Arkassis nodded with a tired expression.

After wasting the little time he had left because of Professor Verdus, he suddenly felt depressed.

‘It would have been better than this even if I wasted the most trashy time in Einrogard.’

“professor. Some of this.”

Lee Han offered raspberry juice in a very polite manner.

It was juice made from raspberries harvested in the vicinity of Professor Wooregeol’s vegetable garden.

Professor Alkasis didn’t understand why Lee Han suddenly gave him a look full of respect, but he accepted the student’s favor.

“thanks. If Professor Verdus says anything strange, tell me.”

“Professor is the best professor in Einrogard.”

“Don’t be unnecessarily flattering. It’s not a good practice for a wizard.”

After Professor Arkassis left, Professor Verdus grumbled. The basilisk egg wriggled as if it didn’t want to hear it.

Lee Han pretended not to hear and said.

“Can I do something else?”

“What else? A new research project? omg. Do you have any thoughts?”

Lee Han smiled calmly as he asked a first-year student about his new research project idea.

“Preparation for the lecture.”

“Ah… Lecture…”

Professor Verdus showed an expression of blatant disapproval. Lee Han wanted to call Professor Alkasis back.

“I don’t want to.”

“Are you the professor to say that confidently?”

‘Even if you say that, you don’t actually do it.’

His thoughts and words changed in an instant, and when he left, Lee Han was a little taken aback.

However, Professor Verdus was depressed and didn’t seem to care much.

“I don’t want to, but Gonadaltes is forcing me. Why should I?”

“Was it like that? …for a moment. Have you ever been invested in gold coins by the principal?”

“It did?”

Lee Han looked at Professor Verdus with contempt. Professor Verdus didn’t notice.

“Are you preparing for the lecture?”

“Because I don’t want to.”

“I’m calling the principal.”

“…!!!”

Professor Verdus looked at Lee Han with the expression of an archmage betrayed by his apprentice.

I was so shocked that the distinctive beard of the beaver beast tribe trembled.

“Let’s get ready quickly.”

“Okay…”

Professor Verdus, utterly demoralized, moved to get ready. The back of it looked kind of shabby.

‘Good thing. The opponent is Professor Verdus.’

If it was another professor, I would have been hurt for no reason, but since the other professor was Professor Verdus, it didn’t hurt at all.

Lee Han pushed Professor Verdus’ back and headed for the tower.

sex hall.

Professor Verdus’ workshop and tower.

When the professor arrived, he seemed to be bothered again and started preparing for the lecture again.

“Here’s a black cast iron ingot… and… a little bit of coal… again… a furnace and a bellows… I need blue charcoal… ah… that’s annoying… something other than charcoal… “

Look for charcoal.”

Professor Verdus grumbled twice as he searched for charcoal.

“So what lecture is this?”

“I’m going to shape-shift the iron ingot myself and refine it to make it good for making artifacts.”

An excellent endowment mage was not only good at magic, but also good at figuring out the properties of materials and manipulating their shapes.

One of the most representative methods of endowment magic was imprinting magic on a substance through a magic circle, and at this time, the shape or structure of the substance also affected the magic.

He was an excellent craftsman who made a structure suitable for the same armor from scratch so that he could draw out the maximum power of the magic circle to be engraved on it.

Of course it wasn’t easy.

It was necessary to be able to figure out the magic circle to engrave, understand the principle of the magic circle, and calculate in advance what structure the equipment should be made.

Because I couldn’t calculate it after making it.

Even after calculating, he now had to shape various magic materials in great detail, and he had to be good at conversion magic as well as various field work and craftsmanship.

Lee Han, who ripped off the list of preparations from Professor Verdus, rummaged here and there and brought the necessary items.

“By the way, Professor. I know the professor has a high goal, but isn’t it too difficult? Can first graders do this?”

“Is this a class for second graders?”

“……”

Lee Han tried to throw the preparation he was holding, but held back.

Why should Lee Han be the one to prepare for the 2nd year lecture?

“Do you want to prepare for the first year lecture?”

“Why the hell do you like to prepare like that?”

“It was just about doing the basics… no, that’s okay. Just come find me quickly.”

The headmaster of the skull was disappointed with the search for the Death Knights, who did not produce any results.

‘what? Did you get help from outsiders? There won’t be any outsiders involved.’

Headmaster Skeleton was no amateur. All outsiders who had a relationship with the students had been checked in advance.

If there is anyone who helps to break out or go out without permission, we will visit the punishment room amicably.

– Could it have been a misunderstanding?

Instead of answering, the skeleton headmaster blocked the Death Knight’s mouth.

Death Knight, who was silenced just because he liked people, felt unfair.

Maybe you bought someone.

-Will some madman help you get in and out of Ein Lorgard? No matter how good the silver coin is, if it gets caught…

you don’t know what the world is doing. Besides, he has a pretty wicked tongue. I can twist it enough.

Headmaster Skeleton believed that if Lee Han put his mind to it, he could easily fool a few nearby vendors.

With the wealth of the Wardanaj family and his own evil speech, it wouldn’t be too difficult to trick one or two sloppy employees into renting a carriage.

Good good. Even if you don’t get results right away, keep searching. Students are the ones who find gaps under pressure. really. Did the wizards leave well?

-yes. Even the last remaining wizards have left the village.

Weren’t there horo bastards complaining?

-yes. Everyone was satisfied.

Headmaster Skeleton nodded.

If nothing else, the evaluation of the wizards who visited the school was quite important.

It was because even bad rumors circulated among the wizards of the empire, such as various invitation events, investment attraction research support, and so on.

It was a bonus to be called by the emperor and hear what he said.

These guys are very funny. When I showed Einrogard’s perfect education, he complained like that and threw a student away, so he became quiet with excitement!

– These are very funny guys.

okay. Anyway, they’re gone… Are the knights still there?

-yes. As permitted, the knights’ meeting on the weekend…

It must be a meeting of brainless people. I allowed it, so I can’t help it. Send the Death Knights to keep an eye on them. Don’t let anyone sneak out and go to town or village.

The Death Knights nodded.

It was their role to monitor students for possible deviations.

After receiving a brief report, Headmaster Skeleton floated away and flew away.

It was always surprising to the students, but Principal Skeleton would regularly check the professors’ educational curriculum.

I checked it, but it wasn’t this much.

Whose turn is it?

– This is Professor Millay.

Millay is done. He’s a good person to know.

– Then this is Professor Garcia.

Garcia was even worse. It’s a problem because you work too hard. Even if you teach a little roughly, the students grow well.

– Next is Professor Verdus.

…let’s go check it out. I want to see that guy with my own two eyes.

Professor Verdus couldn’t just go over even the skeleton headmaster, who was easily overlooked.

No matter how much they passed, there were still professors who had to see with their own two eyes.

The representative guy was Professor Verdus.

A bag of carnelian, a box of processed hawksbill, two bags of ice, a bag of ogre tendons, and throwing them to the students as soon as they were caught, saying, ‘Make an artifact out of this time and show it to me’, so I couldn’t let my guard down.

Headmaster Skeleton’s theory was that geniuses grow on their own even if left alone, but Professor Verdus always tried to cross that line, which was a problem.

…What?

– This is the classroom.

I didn’t ask because I didn’t know it was a classroom… I asked what that was.

-Aren’t you ready?

is that guy??

The skeleton headmaster couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw magic circles drawn as examples along with measured materials for each seat in the classroom.

Did Professor Verdus get kidnapped and other Einrogard enemies sneak in disguised?

-…That’s right. It’s a bit strange.

little?

-It’s very strange.

Before I could finish talking, Lee Han opened the door and entered the classroom.

Then, after looking around and checking the inside, I went outside.

Realizing what had happened, the Headmaster Skeleton was dumbfounded.

That guy is now preparing with his first year student?!

No matter how smart the student is, what would he do if he left the preparation of the lecture to a first-year student?

What if I’m wrong?

-master.

why? what else?

-That… It’s like preparing for a 2nd year lecture here…

…I can’t do it. Call Bible.
