Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 456

Chapter 456

Actually, having to take the midterm exam was a kind of stereotype.

If there are unavoidable circumstances or the professor has an idea, you can replace the midterm exam with another assignment or combine it with the final exam.

Of course, the Headmaster Skeleton did not give permission easily.

Basically, the professors of Einrogard had so many bad writers with no conscience, so if they were released, a test like ‘It’s a nuisance, but should you throw a cane and get an A+ for the student who flew the furthest?’

But in the current situation, it really can’t be helped.

The prepared dungeon was flooded!

“It is very sad. professor.”

“I guess so.”

‘What must be so.’

Professor Bollardy thought that Lee Han would also be in real pain.

Of course, Lee Han wasn’t in much pain.

However, when a professor is in pain, seeing a happy student next to him is like declaring, “I have a swollen liver.”

Lee Han tried his best to put on a painful expression.

‘It’s imagining that the top of the grade was taken away. The skeleton principal is laughing at me next to me.’

“How about a basilisk?”

Dalgrak!

The basilisk egg in the backpack Lee Han put down next to him trembled with fear and rattled.

I have to take care of him a lot lately, so Lee Han puts it in his backpack and carries him around, and that’s why he met the crazy wizard.

“…wouldn’t it still take a little longer?”

“I asked Professor Lightning Step for advice. There is an elixir that promotes growth.”

“Isn’t there a side effect of becoming violent and eccentric?”

As much as I was close with Professor Lightning Walk, I had heard of Lee Han.

-As you handle animals well and are good at alchemy, you might think this later.

-Am I good with animals?

-As you scare animals well and are good at alchemy, you might think this later.

-……

-Buying the offspring of rare animals at a low price and promoting their growth with all sorts of elixirs before selling them… -That’s the

way! Magic is truly amazing!

-…listen to the end. Originally, magic is to change the rules and providence of the world. If you do it blindly, the end is not good.

Professor Lightningwalk told me the story of a foolish dwarven alchemist who once grew manticores in large quantities on a ranch and tried to sell them to the Knights.

Feeding growth potions to monsters with ferocious ferocity was too dangerous.

If the monsters explode at some point, where will their anger go?

-Are you a professor at thunder walk?

-…no! Did you think of the thunder walk like that!?

Anyway, since it was such a dangerous job, Lee Han had no intention of feeding the elixir to the basilisk.

The basilisk egg clung to Yihan. It made it clear who was going to protect him.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to be violent and cranky?”

Professor Voladi tilted his head.

Are you going to fight anyway?

“……”

……

Lee Han got the feeling that Al was glaring at Professor Voladi in anger.

I wasn’t sure, but somehow it was.

“Wouldn’t it be a more powerful adversary if you are cool and calm?”

“I see… do you prefer a fight like that?”

“It’s not that I prefer those fights… Shit. I prefer it.”

Lee Han admitted that he couldn’t bear to throw away the basilisk egg.

Al was too scared.

‘I need to change the topic.’

“Don’t be too heartbroken. professor. There will be many ways. Going down with underwater breathing magic…”

“I’ve thought about it.”

Lee Han felt his heart sink at Professor Boladi’s blunt reply.

I was joking without thinking!

‘I will curse myself if I lose control of my tongue one more time.’

Lee Han reflected very deeply.

“But it’s badly damaged.”

“Oops.”

Once again, Lee Han was deeply grateful to the water spirit.

If it hadn’t been for the great flood, I would have endured that with my body.

“Then, is today’s lecture over?”

Lee Han asked in a slightly anticipatory voice. When it was over early, I thought I would go and study overdue.

The skeleton principal and the students of the White Tiger Tower said nonsense like ‘It’s okay if you don’t study’, but Lee Han wasn’t fooled by such words.

It was clear that they were trying to check Lee Han’s grades.

“If it’s over, I’m done…”

Professor Voladi shook his head slowly. Then he walked over the water and got on top of Lee Han’s boat.

Lee Han, who suddenly had his boat stolen, was dumbfounded, but couldn’t say anything.

‘In the world, a robber with a cane.’

Professor Voladi waved his staff without hesitation.

Then the ferry began to move rapidly, as if someone invisible was pushing from behind.

Chow ah ah-

“?”

Lee Han, who had been sitting without much thought at first, was a bit taken aback when the ferry started moving away from the main building.

‘what?’

If you keep heading north like this, you will come to Hell Mountains, which Einrogard is proud of (Actually, it was just a mountain range, but Lee Han and friends called it Hell Mountains).

As long as the dungeon I had prepared flew away, I thought it would be over after a simple practice or training…

Tak-

Even if there was a great flood, not all of the mountain ranges sank. As we approached some distance, dry land and thick forest came into view.

Professor Voladi looked at Lee Han. meant to come down.

“professor. I have a question…”

The professor raised a finger instead of answering. It meant to be quiet.

Seeing this, Lee Han suddenly became ominous.

Although Professor Voladi was a mad wizard, he was still a mad wizard who answered questions.

Why doesn’t it suddenly answer the question?

‘Is it dangerous to make noise now?’

Lee Han quickly checked the monsters in the mountains in his head.

As much as I received the lecture < What will come out of the mountain behind Einrogard? > for every spare time under Professor Lightning Walk, countless monsters came to mind.

‘shit. There are too many.’

Come to think of it, there were too many monsters that were dangerous when they made noise.

Lee Han tensed up and wondered if he should memorize the magic in advance.

It was good to memorize the magic in advance, but it could be dangerous to recite the spell in a situation where you have to be quiet.

– Are you here?

The sound came from above.

Lee Han involuntarily raised his head. A familiar giant’s head was looking down at Lee Han from among the trees in the tall and dense forest.

Hair shorter than last time.

It was Ikurusha, a giant in the mountains who gave away his hair after making a bet with Lee Han.

“Ikrusha-sama!”

– Nice to meet you again. But please lower your voice.

Ikrusha motioned for her to be quiet.

-Now other giants are mating the goats, but it’s a sensitive time for the goats.

“?”

Lee Han did not understand for a moment.

Even if goats are sensitive, aren’t they goats?

-ah. I’m sorry. Wizards don’t call them goats. It will have a slightly different name.

“What is it?”

– Was it the mountain range destroyer? Mountain range predator? Mountain range collapse?

“……”

Professor Voladi answered instead.

“Mountain destroyer.”

-ah. That’s right.

The mountain range destroyer was a large monster that looked like a sheep, but with a size comparable to that of a giant, it could penetrate bedrock.

Calling it a mountain goat was as brazen as calling a tanjueo a goldfish.

* * *

Ikrusha led Lee Han and Professor Voladi to the newly built house.

The cave house had a rough appearance, as if it were built by giants with their fists, but the inside was truly comfortable.

As soon as Lee Han and Professor Boladi sat down, Ikrusha brought a chessboard.

– Let’s have a game since we haven’t seen each other in a long time.

“ah. yes.”

Lee Han was hesitant, but let it go.

The opening started with d4 and Bf4, and after a solid defense, castling with the queenside, and a powerful push from the kingside, Ikrusha vanished in vain.

-this!

“Mr. Ikrusha.”

When Professor Voladi called, Ikrusha asked in a desperate voice.

– Can I have one more game? I’ll put it quickly with shorthand.

The professor nodded.

Ikrusha was excited and quickly put her words together.

Seeing this, Lee Han came to a realization.

‘for a moment. If I drag out the time…!’

I don’t know why Professor Voladi brought him to Ikrusha, but I was just playing chess and when the time was over, I could just go back.

Last time I saw it, Ikrusha is a giant who likes openings that start with e4 Nf3 Bb5 when holding back.

If so, Lee Han could also put the knight at f6 and create a solid black barrier.

‘Inducing a draw by dragging.’

Ikurusha and Professor Boladi did not notice Lee Han’s evil intentions.

Ikrusha didn’t know that, and was deeply in thought, knocking hard on the barrier of Lee Han.

“Mr. Ikrusha.”

-ah. I’m sorry. I’ll have to quit.

“……”

Lee Han was dumbfounded to see the giant quitting without regret when an excuse came up in an unfavorable situation.

On the other hand, why is a gentleman like this when it comes to chess…?

‘I let it go. I’ll bet.’

-You know, I’ve told the professors about you a few times since the last impressive confrontation.

“yes???????”

Lee Han was startled and cried out involuntarily.

No, why would you do such an ungrateful thing?

‘Are all giants unscrupulous motherfuckers??’

Maybe people didn’t know that they wouldn’t betray if they cut their hair, not their hair.

– Why are you so surprised?

“…As a wizard, it’s embarrassing for falsehood to spread.”

– You’re humble.

Ikrusha looked at Professor Voladi in praise. The professor was expressionless, but nodded as if in agreement.

– Some professors showed interest. In the case of Professor Bagreck here, I asked if I could get some help with the lecture, so I accepted.

“Oh…”

Lee Han held back the words “Why did you do that?”

-Unlike other giants, I tend to do my best to fulfill the requests of Einrogard’s wizards. If you live here in the mountains, you will be indebted to wizards without knowing it… Come to think of it, is the archmage good?

“exactly.”

– That’s good. Thank you again for the last time. Giant hunters are poisonous and vicious, so if the Archmage hadn’t helped them, the damage would have been great.

The professor nodded.

After hearing the heartwarming conversation, Lee Han, unable to bear it any longer, asked cautiously.

“But how are you helping me?”

-I was asked to create various situations that I could experience as a battle mage. I heard that even if the giants here are a bit stupid, they can do it well.

bang!!!!!!!

As soon as the words were finished, a roar came from outside, as if the world was ending.

It sounded like a mountain range collapsing.

-this. One goat ran away. I should have caught it within today.

“……”

-What were you talking about? ah. It was a story to help with the lecture. The giants can do it well, but the problem is that these guys are a bit stupid… they might not understand that it’s a power control or a test. So I thought I should call first.

It could have been too difficult to tell the giants, ‘Try to adjust the level of difficulty so that the wizard doesn’t die’.

It would have been better to get acquainted with the giants in advance and get acquainted with them.

If the giants think of them as their friends, they will control their strength.

-Above all, I thought it would be dangerous and abrupt to throw a magician into a crisis without first checking, no matter how brilliant a wizard is. Shouldn’t you give it time to get used to it?

Ikrusha shrugged.

“It’s okay.”

-is it?

“If you don’t believe me, try it now.”

“Professor. Come to think of it, I think a submerged underground dungeon will have its own sense of accomplishment.”
