Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 485
Chapter 485
: “The Garbage Guy!”
“!”
The subordinates thought that Fasher was angry with the other guilds, but in fact, Fasher was angry with himself.
To think of winning the competition with the other guilds, to stand still while a young student was fighting for his life.
Fascher trembled and cried out.
“let’s go!”
“yes?”
“Follow me!”
‘Why are you like this?’
When the old fisherman exploded in anger, the people below became concerned.
There was nothing good about arguing with outsiders.
There is a lot of friction with other guilds, but there is no way people from outside will understand it.
It’s not enough to persuade as politely and courteously as possible…
“?”
Lee Han, who came out of the reef with Professor Boladi, was puzzled when he saw the fishermen with angry faces in the distance.
“What is it?”
“Fishermen.”
Professor Voladi replied as if nothing was wrong.
Lee Han asked with a confused expression.
“You seem very angry… Didn’t something happen?”
It was a problem because there was too much to pin down.
As I heard from Professor Wooregeol, the guilds around here had become sensitive due to friction for a long time, and of course they looked at those from outside with mixed feelings.
Besides, aren’t the Shadow Ranger hunters kind and gentle gentlemen?
‘It’s not like he stole the game from the fishermen.’
As they were so crazy about hunting, it became suspicious that they hadn’t secretly crossed over to the area that had been given permission in advance and hunted other things.
“Maybe.”
“How do I do it?”
“Get ready.”
Professor Voladi spoke to Lee Han as he did when he climbed the reef to wipe out the monsters.
Lee Han didn’t understand what he meant for a moment, but realized it belatedly.
‘No, this crazy…!’
Did you mean to prepare to fight the fishermen now!?
“…Professor, you mustn’t fight the fishermen! What will the people of the city think?”
“You’d think it was self-defense.”
“……”
That was right, but that wasn’t the point right now.
I have to quickly resolve the situation and go back, but what if unnecessary conflicts increase?
In a situation where even a potential collision should be avoided…
“Beware of the fishermen’s nets. Once tied up, it can be dangerous.”
“Have you ever fought with fishermen?”
It was a question that Lee Han asked lightly without much thought, but Professor Boladi affirmed.
“Yes. It’s especially dangerous on a boat.”
“……”
‘Isn’t this enough to attack right away if we just make eye contact while traveling?’
While Lee Han was contemplating, the fishermen arrived.
The old fisherman, who looked like the boss, suddenly lowered his head and shouted in a loud voice.
“As a representative of the public guild of Isran City and as a member of the Isran City Council, I sincerely apologize!”
“?”
“?”
Lee Han and the hunters were also puzzled.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Are you trying to stop hunting from today? If you do such an outrageous thing, the curse of the mountain range…”
“This is the sea.”
“You will be cursed by the sea!”
While the hunters were perplexed, Fasher continued.
“As the head of the guild, I couldn’t do anything to help those who came from outside to solve the city’s problems. In the meantime, the still young student of Einrogard risked his life to wipe out the monsters!”
“?”
Lee Han wondered what he was talking about, but belatedly understood.
‘Ah, so now…’
Did Professor Boladi hold a cane and threaten to wipe out monsters?
Of course, it was a misunderstanding.
The people of the Meikin family are neither stupid nor poor, but they didn’t hire people that way.
“I will be on guard for this, so I ask for a lenient treatment.”
The old fisherman said all he had to say in a booming voice, bowed his head once more, and boarded the boat.
The Shadow Ranger hunters did not understand and asked.
“What do you mean, wizard?”
“So you’re going to punish yourself?”
Usually, hunters who sinned in the northern mountains had to atone for their sins through trials.
Holding a single arrow, going bare-body into the depths of the peaks of snowy mountains and catching a certain monster… Is
that the case here as well?
“It’s not like that, I just want to reflect.”
“Reflection shouldn’t be more painful…”
Ignoring the hunters’ words, Lee Han averted his gaze.
There was some political rhetoric in what he just said, so it was hard to understand, but I could see what he was talking about.
I made a mistake and I am reflecting on it, and I will unconditionally respect the will of Ein Rogard and his party in future negotiations.
It’s a good thing from Lee Han’s point of view…
‘Did I eat something wrong? Why suddenly?’
No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t quite understand.
A hunter from the side said.
“Aren’t you sorry to see Wizard-nim hunting alone?”
“…no…”
Lee Han couldn’t believe it.
But come to think of it, it was a pretty plausible story.
Other than that, it didn’t come to mind at all.
When I cast my gaze at Professor Voladi, the professor looked at me as if asking why.
“it’s nothing.”
One of Professor Voladi’s strengths was that he had fewer idle words.
If Headmaster Skeleton had been here, he would have turned Lee Han’s insides upside down, saying, ‘Thank you for being able to convince me thanks to me’!

Rumors spread that Fasher and the fishermen’s guild people had contacted Ein Rogard’s party from outside.
The adventurer’s guild heard the rumor and felt embarrassed.
“Those stubborn guild people are already…”
“Shouldn’t we move too? Or prepare a bribe.”
“Shh. If you hastily pay the wrong bribe to the magicians of Einrogard, you could become a slug.”
In fact, the adventurer’s guild was the farthest away from fighting within the city.
The fisherman’s guild and the alchemist’s guild actively tried to obtain the right to collect sangoria flowers as much as they contributed to each other, but the adventurer’s guild didn’t go that far.
First of all, the unity of the guild is not that high, and since it started as an employee, it is inevitable that the gaze will be different.
The adventurer’s guild didn’t care whoever won, as long as it guaranteed that the adventurers could only gather the right amount. That was enough.
The problem was that the other two guilds were so poisoned that this type of negotiation did not work.
The only ones who can communicate at least are outsiders…
‘Anyway, the wizards of Einrogard are afraid.’
‘Couldn’t contacting me for no reason have the opposite effect?’
The adventurer’s guild feared Einrogard’s wizards more than any other guild.
Unlike those who have lived as artisans in the city all their lives, adventurers who have a lot of work to do often have a keen sense of how dangerous wizards are.
Moreover, it was even more so with Einrogard.
“I should at least say hello. At least it should leave a good impression.”
The head of the adventurer’s guild moved to the port with the clerks.
I saw wizards and hunters returning from hunting.
“How are you?”
I was so nervous that my voice cracked.
Looking at the costumes and patterns of the guild members, Lee Han quickly recognized where they came from.
‘Did you come out of the adventurer’s guild?’
As the adventurer’s guild was one step ahead in this conflict, there was nothing wrong with buying a favor to resolve it.
Lee Han smiled brightly and said hello.
“hello! nice to meet you Are you, by any chance, dedicated to walking through the most remote and lonely valleys of the empire?”
“!”
Shadow Ranger hunters grumbled inwardly.
Even if it is an idiomatic expression, isn’t it too harsh?
What kind of adventurers roam the most remote and lonely valleys of the Empire?
It doesn’t come very often to the northern mountains…
“That’s right!”
Upon hearing the compliment, the faces of the adventurers’ guild members brightened and relaxed slightly.
“Befitting wizards from Ein Lorgard, their eyes are full of dizziness.”
‘It seems like living.’
Lee Han looked at Professor Boladi and himself once. There was still some blood on the coat.
“Are you from any family…”
“Ah. I’m from the Wardanaz family…”
“Ouch!”
I heard someone breathing in.
He tried to control his expression as much as possible, but Lee Han could feel the fear passing by in the eyes and expressions of the guild members.
“……”
For a while, I met people from the great family or people who didn’t care about the Woudanaz family and forgot about it, but the name of the Woudanaz family was more intimidating than I thought.
‘Did I make a mistake? Should I have left it to Yoner or the others?’
I had to become a friendly and kind wizard and convince the guild, but to scare them first.
If Professor Thunderwalker found out about this, he might shed tears of anguish.
‘But this is not my fault.’
No matter how much I thought about it, the karma of the Wardanaj family was not Lee Han’s karma.
“…I am Lee Han from the Wardanaz family.”
Lee Han finished his speech.
Then one of the office workers asked in a surprised voice.
“Did you subdue the ghoul king with the adventurers in Granden City the other day?”
“…the story is a bit different, but similar.”
“I heard that you helped us investigate the incident in the Black Rock Forest…”
“That’s true too.”
“Are you still a student!?”
The clerk was genuinely surprised.
Although they were far apart, interesting things spread through rumors.
When I heard rumors such as Lee Han, a wizard from the Wardanaz family, helped the adventurers to solve the request, was still young, and took good care of the adventurers even though he was a wizard, of course I thought it was a rumor.
But looking at it like this, the rumors seemed surprisingly plausible.
“yes.”
“You’re a student of Ein Lorgard… why are you working with adventurers…?”
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
‘It’s because of the money…’
I wouldn’t ask the adventurers ‘Why do you solve the quest?’
Still, it was difficult to say that he was trying to make money face to face, so Lee Han answered as best he could.
“I thought it was something I had to do.”
“and…!”
“does not make sense…!”
The people of the adventurer’s guild were so surprised that they couldn’t even whisper.
Still, it was a different surprise than when he heard the name of the Wardanaj family earlier.
When the eyes of the guild people softened and he felt the fear disappear, Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.
‘At least it won’t get in the way when we talk.’
“Lee Han from the Wardanaz family. I have something to tell you about this.”
“I will listen.”
“Ah, I didn’t even ask about this professor because I wasn’t in a situation. sorry. Can you hear the honor?”
People from the Adventurer’s Guild looked at Professor Voladi and asked.
Professor Voladi answered calmly.
“Balladi of House Baegrek.”
“Heeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”
A more terrified moan came out than when he heard the name of the Wardanaj family earlier.
“……”
Lee Han glared at Professor Voladi with resentful eyes.
What the hell were you doing…
* * *
Professor Thunderwalk, who had returned to the mansion first, looked at Lee Han and tilted his head.
“Has anything happened?”
It was originally a tired face, but it looked several times more tired than usual.
“That’s…”
Lee Han pondered where to start explaining.
Then, Professor Wooregeol asked with a curious face.
“Professor Bagreck didn’t ask you to go catch the Sea Serpent, did you?”
“Yes? Is there a Sea Serpent around here?”
“I found a trace earlier.”
“…Please keep it a secret.”
Lee Han said with sincerity.
