Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 484
Chapter 484
“Ha.”
Professor Wooregeol scooped up a spoonful of rice, put it in his mouth, and sighed.
“after.”
Professor Thunderwalk sighed as he chewed on the salted radish.
“…why do you keep sighing? Lose your appetite.”
Professor Lightning Walk looked at his nephew and asked as if he was dumbfounded.
After a hard day’s work, shouldn’t we eat well?
At most, the chefs at the mansion prepared a separate dish to suit the tastes of the easterners, but
Professor Thunderwalker replied with a pained voice.
“It’s because there’s a lot to do.”
The students were exchanging harsh words such as ‘It was really hard today’ and ‘Professor Wooregeol enjoys bullying us like a close friend of the principal’, but Professor Wooregeol also had his own difficulties.
The students only had to work hard at what they were told to do, but Professor Woorestep had to manage the overall schedule and complete the request within the period.
What if the request cannot be completed within the specified period?
-Professor of Thunder Step. Have I overestimated you too much? Can’t finish the quest within the specified period. Are you going to be responsible for the students’ academic damage caused by that?
It was better to be a little late.
What if I can’t complete the request perfectly?
-Professor of Thunder Step. Do you hate it when students study magic? Even if I make a lot of money from now on, they’re going to steal my safe on the pretext that they don’t have research funds, so why are they interfering with getting paid?
…Unlike the students, the headmaster was very respectful of the professor, but there were occasional exceptions.
Just looking at Professor Verdus going to the punishment room right now…
“Oh. Still, I know things went pretty well today.”
“Yes, but it’s a problem because the schedule is pretty tight.”
Professor Wooregeol glared at the paper with the things to do and stuffed the dumpling into his mouth.
Fortunately, today, thanks to the Shadow Patrol’s active efforts in hunting and hunting magic, their ability to figure out the sea route and create maps seemed to be coming to an end.
As expected, it will be over tomorrow.
‘ah. You inadvertently thought of Wardanaj as a member of the Shadow Guard.’
Professor Wooregeol thought that if Lee Han heard it, he would have shouted.
They matched so well that I inadvertently thought of putting the two together.
The students in the mansion workshop were working diligently on inventory classification, standard creation, and gathering training…
‘This will be finished the day after tomorrow at the latest.’
I didn’t bother to tell the students that it would ease their tension, but the current first-year students were excellent on average.
Excluding unusual madmen like Wardanaz, each tower had at least one student who excelled in alchemy, so they were able to flexibly deal with any situation.
Even if I let the students rest for a while, it seemed that things would work, but…
‘No. It’s not for students.’
Professor Thunderwalk decided not to tell the students until it was over.
Isn’t it only the students who suffer when the schedule is delayed after loosening up for no reason?
It was the professor’s job to be strict in this area.
‘The remaining problem is mediation.’
Friction between guilds around here and conflicts between guilds and villagers.
If you want to harvest flowers stably, you have to mediate their problems.
In some ways, it could have been a more troublesome problem than creating a sea route and clearing monsters.
‘If possible, I’ll have to find a solution tomorrow so that the schedule won’t get messed up.’ After finishing the writing by sweeping and harming tomorrow
,
contacting the people concerned, listening to the requirements, and thinking about the plan…
After seeing Professor Lightning Step and Professor Voladi in turn, Professor Thunder Step let out the deepest sigh he ever breathed today.
“Whoa…”
“What? I just felt a bit bad for sighing. Did you swear at me inside?”
“Oh no.”
Professor Thunderwalk, who found out his inner thoughts, was horrified.
Still, it was clear that the two professors were of no help in this mediation.
Professor Lightning Step will be helpful only when even monsters are released during the negotiations, and Professor Voladi will only be helpful when assassins invade the negotiations… He pondered what demands the guild
and city residents would make and what plans they would accept. Professor Wooreeul, who was doing it, found Lee Han passing by and started talking to him.
“Wardanaz.”
“yes?”
“I’m glad you’re here.”
“…what are you trying to do?”
At Lee Han’s distrustful gaze, Professor Thunderwalk slightly reflected on behalf of Ein Rogard.

The next morning.
Lee Han left the mansion with the professors to finish the writing and clearing of the sea.
The Shadow Ranger hunters had been out since dawn, riding a small boat and speeding across the sea, knocking down monsters one by one.
“The rumors are true that if one of the Shadow Ranger Hunters enters a mountain peak, the monsters on that mountain peak will become extinct.”
Professor Lee Han admired the lightning strides, but Lee Han had other thoughts.
Judging from the fact that the Shadow Ranger hunters were a bit flustered and averted their eyes when Lee Han and I met eyes, they… ‘We
came early and caught them because we didn’t want them to tell us to catch only what we needed.’
Everyone was fooled by the atmosphere of the Shadow Ranger hunters, but Lee Han was not fooled.
The Shadow Ranger hunters secretly had a corner like Gainan Island.
“I’ll check this side, Professor Baegrek, please check the other side.”
Professor Thunder Walk headed to a place where the sea route was not yet written with Professor Lightning Walk.
Professor Boladi looked at Lee Han with an expressionless face. Lee Han said resignedly.
“Let’s go clean up the remaining monsters on the reef.”
“okay. Don’t be in a hurry.”
Lee Han thought of pushing Professor Voladi once on the ferry, but decided to hold back because there were many hunters watching him. As the boat moved
, Lee
Han recalled the conversation he had with Professor Thunderwalk yesterday.
-What are you trying to do?
-…no! I don’t mean that…!
-yes. You probably don’t mean that.
– I swear by the beard, I didn’t mean that! listen!
Professor Wooreeul told stories without even asking if he felt unfair.
It was said that the remaining two days had to be resolved neatly, and Gaya Einrogard’s reputation would be maintained, the students would be paid, and Professor Wooregeol would be happy, but the remaining tasks were quite tight.
Although the students had plenty of time to do their jobs (Lee Han relayed this to his friends as soon as the conversation was over), Professor Wooregeol said that it was a headache when he thought about the things he had to mediate.
At first, Lee Han thought, ‘What does that have to do with saying you’re glad you saw me?’
‘hmm. but. Compared to those two, I’m better.’
Lee Han wasn’t a confident personality, but I was confident that I would win if I joined those two professors in the social realm.
Apart from that, I was worried that Professor Woorestep would be able to mediate well.
The other two professors won’t help, so Professor Thunderwalker will have to think about it with the people of the Meikin family, but if things go wrong
… Rogard will perish.’
“What are you thinking?”
Professor Voladi asked if Lee Han was thinking too deeply.
“Ah, I was thinking about the mediation plan.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. It’s because Professor Thunderwalker will take care of it.”
“……”
Originally, it was supposed to sound like ‘students do their work and leave the professors to the professor’, but strangely, it sounded like ‘do I know?’ as a bad meaning.
‘It must be because of my mood.’
“To land.”
“yes.”
“Let’s use ice magic this time.”
“Yes…”
the Shadow Ranger hunters beside him asked.
“Do you really need any help? If the avant-garde doesn’t stop…”
Professor Voladi nodded.
“No need. I will overcome it with magic.”
“With magic! indeed…!”
The hunters’ eyes shone.
I thought it was a wizard who had a hard time moving without people blocking it in front, but seeing it like this, it was a prejudice.

The head of the fisherman’s guild in the city, Parsher, glared at the sea with a disgruntled gaze.
“I won’t yield a bit. Keep that in mind too.”
“yes!”
“If there are any youngsters thinking of negotiations or compromises, put those superficial thoughts in your stomach!”
Although his hair was white and his frame was thin, the old fisherman still knew how to spread dignity.
The young fishermen nearby bowed their heads, not daring to reply.
“The alchemists, the adventurers, and the city council are all thieves. Where did the license for the fishing right granted by His Majesty the Emperor come down? They came down to our guild!”
The question of ‘Who should pick up sangoria flowers?’ has been around for a long time.
A long time ago, the fisherman’s guild had been granted a fishing license from the emperor of the empire to harvest dozens of seafood.
There were no problems at that time. People in the city respected the rights of the fishermen’s guild and bought the seafood they caught.
However, as the years passed, the story became complicated when Sangoria flowers suddenly began to appear around them.
Alchemists who recognized its value insisted on collecting Sangoria flowers, and in the process, the fishermen’s guild got help from the alchemists to learn about the flowers they had never seen before.
Of course, there was no choice but to fight over the rights to who should pick up the flowers.
In addition, the city’s adventurer’s guild, which had been commissioned by alchemists to collect them, also began to step in.
After arguing over who was greedy and who was shameless, we came to a compromise by paying each other a certain amount each time we picked flowers
… this is completely different
The bureaucrats of the empire hated these guilds for wasting time and holding each other in check when it was not enough even if they worked together to solve the problem.
-In the end, the stopgap measures made the situation worse. Be sure to fix this issue!
As much as the order came down from above, the guilds were also firmly prepared.
I will never back down.
I will definitely convince people from outside to prove that our guild’s logic is valid!
And it was the same with the fishermen’s guild.
“All of this happened because people who didn’t even know that history brazenly stepped in.”
‘I think we’ll have to negotiate or compromise…’
Some of the young fishermen looked puzzled.
The attitude of the imperial officials was more stubborn than expected.
If the matter had not been resolved, the Meikin family, an outsider, would have stepped forward to solve it.
Even though there was no direct benefit, it was natural that the bureaucrats were angry.
Then, the guilds in the city have to reconcile with each other first and show that they won’t do that in the future, but everyone is saying to each other, ‘The moment you propose a compromise or compromise, you show weakness, don’t be blamed’
… no see.”
Fascher nodded at the fisherman’s words.
I was angry and grumpy, but there was nothing good about showing a bad side to those who came from outside.
Fascher intended to go and say hello and make a bold claim.
“…why aren’t you going up?”
“well? ah. There are wizards coming down. It seems that wizards hunted them. I heard that the fishermen said, ‘Wizards are also hunting’, but I think that’s probably the case…” “
…Aren’t you still a student?!”
Fasher was horrified to see Lee Han come out wiping off the monster’s blood.
Considering the number of monsters and the size of the sea, there couldn’t be enough manpower, but I thought the students would fight like that.
Was there a shortage of workers that much?
“That…that’s right.”
“why?? why?”
“Maybe the other guilds in the city refused to ask for help…” “
……”
Fasher suddenly felt his face heat up.
It was a shame.
A student from outside is doing his best to solve the problem like that even in a situation where he can’t get any help from the city…
What is he doing now, having lived in this city all his life?
