Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 479
Chapter 479
“Don’t Worry”
Lee Han appeased the basilisk egg.
The basilisk egg stopped vibrating at the owner’s words as strong as magical power.
“Objectively, you are still weaker than the Wyvern. Even if you’re interested in it, you’ll have more interest in the wyvern.”
-……
Al again made a sound full of vigilance.
“Wardanaz. Take the flag here.”
Professor Thunderwalk raised two flags on top of the wyvern.
One was an insignia with the pattern of Ein Rogard, and the other was an insignia with a sword drawn on the pattern of the Empire.
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
“It’s the Ein Lorgard flag. It’s to let people know that you belong to Ein Lorgard… What is this?”
“It means that I am carrying out the official duties of the Empire in the name of His Majesty the Emperor.”
“okay. The sword, but why is it painted?”
“It means that if it gets in the way, we will immediately dispose of it.”
“… are you kidding?”
“Isn’t that a joke?”
Professor Thunder Walk replied as if asking what he was talking about.
It was easy to forget when you were inside the school, but wizards were always high-class personnel, and the wizards of Einrogard were the most important among them.
Since you never know what kind of danger might be approaching outside, it was only natural to warn you with a flag first.
-If you approach prematurely, we will attack immediately!
Professor Voladi also nodded.
“When the enemy approaches, attack immediately.”
“…me too?”
“okay.”
“professor. I am also a student…”
Lee Han said with the meaning, ‘You are the escort, and I am a student who went on a picnic under the guidance of the professor’, but it was not conveyed to Professor Voladi.
“Are you a student?”
In the professor’s voice, I could feel the emotion of ‘So what?’
Lee Han gave up and sat next to Professor Voladi.
Friends were already whispering when they saw Lee Han and Professor Boladi sitting on a narrow, swaying neck rather than a wide, flat Wyvern back.
“Is that professor that professor?”
“I didn’t know there were students listening to that professor. Wasn’t it all out?”
“Originally, the goal of Wodanaz is to attend all lectures.”
“ah. but. Is that why you listen?”
‘no. Bastards.’
Inside, Lee Han cursed at his friends who spread false rumors about him.
“Look ahead.”
“Yes…”
Prof. Boladi immediately started the practical lecture with Lee Han, ‘How should a wyvern rider fight in the air?’
“…so the nose is most vulnerable behind the diagonal and down square. If you are a wizard, you can compensate with magic. to ensure unconditional vision. Fighting in the air starts with sight.”
“Uh, Professor Baegrek…”
A thunderstrider passing by noticed Lee Han being bullied and asked.
“Do I have to sit next to Wodanaj?”
When they arrive anyway, the students will have to suffer from a lot of chores, and even if you simply calculate the amount of work that the magical Wardanaz will have to do, it will be several times.
Come to think of it, there was no need to bother Wardanaz already.
And in the first place, the escort was Professor Voladi’s job, not the student’s.
Lee Han was slightly moved.
‘As expected, Professor Thunderstruck is the average of Einroguard!’
Even if it was just this much, I wanted something.
Professor Voladi calmly answered Professor Thunderwalk’s question with an expressionless face.
“They wanted to learn.”
“ah. Is that so?”
“……”
Lee Han was at a loss for words because he was dumbfounded.
I don’t even spit on my mouth. What kind of nonsense lie is this?
Even the basilisk egg seemed bewildered.
‘If I say no here, will Professor Baegrek push me down?’
“Then I can’t help it. Wodanaz. cheer up.”
Professor Thunderwalker didn’t get involved anymore and left after encouraging me in case someone wasn’t the average Einrogard.
Lee Han internally cursed Professor Thunderwalk.
* * *
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!
After preparing, the Wyverns set off and split the air like lightning.
The students screamed in joy.
“This is my first time riding a wyvern, Professor!”
“Because he is a precious boy! Taming is more difficult than you think. You can’t imagine how much trouble I went through to get these eggs!”
When the lightning-walking professor put on flying goggles and shouted cheerfully, the students let their imagination run wild.
The majestic peaks and canyons that seemed to pierce the sky outside the empire.
And the lightning-walking professor who explores the place alone and steals the wyvern’s egg.
“you’re right! How angry is the Count?”
“You crazy man! You bought it on the black market and got angry. I saved your life! If I had hatched as it was, the wyverns would have destroyed the mansion!”
Professor Lightning Walk explained how he stole a wyvern egg from the count’s mansion.
The students looked at each other in bewilderment at the explanation.
“Lee Han. Han Lee. what do you think about it? Can I do that?”
Lee Han could not answer his friend’s question. Professor Voladi had been harassing her all along.
“What was the monster that just flew from below?”
“Ghost… Wasn’t it a ghost eagle?”
“Wrong. It’s an eagle ghost. Please remember the difference between the two. The eagle ghost…”
“……”
Asan backed away with a tired expression.
The students who were reading books and playing cards on the wyvern board were getting bored, and Lee Han, who had to keep alert to the sky and accurately shout out the monsters around him, was exhausted and collapsed when Professor Lightning Walk sent a signal.
“That’s all for today! I need to let the wyverns rest. landing! ■■! ■■■!”
The wyverns started descending at the professor’s cry of lightning stride.
Below, as it started to get dark, I could see a few sparsely lit villages.
‘Is that the destination? I’ll be there before noon tomorrow.’
In the distance, I saw a port city ablaze with colorful lights located on the edge of the sea.
Isran was one of the most beautiful cities in the southern coastal cities of the Empire.
Originally, it was a place to visit as a resort, so the students whispered with anticipation.
“Isn’t there still time to wander around a bit?”
“Can we escape? Can’t we go to the punishment room? Wodanaz. what do you think about it? You know the punishment room best.”
“Don’t ask me that kind of question…”
Lee Han, who was already tired of being Professor Voladi, answered in a voice filled with tiredness.
When the wyverns landed on the grass on the hill near the village, the villagers ran out with torches inside.
Then, when he saw the flag of Einrogard and the flag of the Empire, he exclaimed in surprise.
“Wizard! Sorcerers are here!”
“That’s right. everyone.”
Professor Wooregeol politely greeted the village chief.
Inside Einrogard, even if you curse at the Duke of Empire, the headmaster of the skull takes care of the back, but outside, you have to act like a gentleman as much as possible.
“I had an urgent official business, so I rode a wyvern and came running. Trust me, these wyverns are fully trained and pose no threat. I promise to you on the honor of Einrogard and the wizard.”
Lee Han witnessed the lightning-walking professor punching the nose of the grunting Wyvern from earlier, and moved his body to cover it.
“Water… of course. We believe in wizards. Of course!”
The village chief exclaimed in a nervous voice, feeling both respect and fear. And in order to hide as much as possible that he was feeling fear, he greeted with an exaggerated gesture.
“Come into town! We have prepared a place to rest! You can also bring a wawa wyvern with you!”
The students were ready to move right away.
Occasionally, when Einrogarde students went outside, they were misunderstood, saying, “Do Einrogarde students like to sleep outside in the cold dew?”
in a warm inn. Sleeping on a soft, smooth bed is, of course…
“No. I will stay outside.”
Professor Wooregeol flatly refused.
“We have already come prepared. I don’t want to be a nuisance to the villagers.”
“Oh no. Not a nuisance! More than anything…”
“No. If this amount of people go into the wyvern, you can’t be bothered.”
There were several reasons why Professor Wooregeol was like this.
No matter how much Einrogard’s magicians were respected by all people in the Empire, villagers who didn’t know them well could be scared.
And the Wyvern was even more so. If there was a commotion by mistake, the professor had to take responsibility.
Lastly…
-Don’t bully people unnecessarily on the way. Don’t call the villagers and say, ‘I’m from Einrogard, can you give me some warm bread and a drink…’.
-Do not worry. You don’t do this once or twice.
The Skeleton Headmaster didn’t like to come into contact with the generals of the Empire on the way.
“Hing.”
“I thought you were staying in the village.”
The students mourned and prepared for camp.
If you had just entered the school, you would have said, ‘How do people sleep outside?’, but now, the students of the Blue Dragon Tower were not surprised at all that they were sleeping outside.
“Put some more blankets here.”
“for a moment. Get rid of some bugs.”
“Sprinkle this potion. It will help keep bugs at bay.”
“Priestess Siana…! thank you and. The effect is amazing! Even the grass died at once!”
“for a moment. I gave you the wrong one. Spray this here.”
“……”
Lee Han poured the travel rations brought by his friends into a pot and boiled them.
Hard bread, cheese, salty jerky, and still fresh carrots, onions, and potatoes.
“thanks.”
“You have to pay back later as much as you ate.”
“……”
Professor Thunderstruck was dumbfounded, but nodded.
After all, how precious is this kind of food to Einrogard students.
‘By the way, the garden was blown away by the flood. Where did you get the vegetables from?’
Professor Wooreeul had doubts while pouring in the soup.
It looks pretty fresh, so it doesn’t look like it was brought from outside…
Lee Han took out the soup boiled with only vegetables for Professor Boladi and presented it to Professor Thunderwalker.
“By the way, Professor. You were invited by the Meikin family, right?”
“yes.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to just go along with the Meikin family procession?”
“Then you are too slow. I also need to attend lectures.”
Students were very sorry.
If I had moved with the Meikin family, I might have been able to play comfortably for about a week or two!
Lee Han tilted his head and asked again.
“Still, shouldn’t the Meikin family give you at least the supplies you need to move?”
“A family the size of the A. Meiken family doesn’t take care of such trivial things. I will take care of it from the remuneration paid later.”
“okay. Do you get paid as soon as it’s over?”
“okay. But it would be better not to expect too much.”
“Is the pay low?”
“no. There is such a request, but the Meikin family is on the generous side. But you won’t be able to afford it. Even if you collect and collect them, you will not have enough funds for experiments or research next year.”
No matter how much money they robbed of the Emperor’s treasury in Ein Rogard and how much they ripped off the budget by twisting the imperial treasurer’s beard, they couldn’t satisfy the greed of the magicians.
The wizards were the kind of people who would shout out to them to give more so that they could experiment even if they gave up all the gold of the empire.
In the end, in order to freely practice and experiment with the magic he wanted, he had to get his own investment, tear off the sponsorship, and earn gold coins.
‘Horrible.’
Lee Han felt a heartbreaking pain at the fact that the reward he would receive from this job would become a jewel that would disappear meaninglessly through the experiment.
what kind of waste is that?

Morning.
As soon as they woke up, the people of the Meikin family came out to greet the party who had arrived at the port city by riding a wyvern.
“I’m sorry for calling you so quickly. all the students Did you sleep well last night?”
“You don’t have to worry!”
“It’s like camping…”
The students bluffed in front of outsiders.
It was something all Einrogard students would do.
“…have you camped?”
“yes yes.”
“……”
The people of the Meikin family looked at each other very puzzled.
Then he opened his mouth.
“You said you were coming by riding that wyvern, so I earnestly asked the nearby villages where you could land the wyvern, but did you hear anything?”
“I paid all the wages and asked students to treat me well if they stopped by…”
“……”
“……”
All the students turned their heads in unison and glared at Professor Thunderwalker.
