Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 498
Chapter 498
“Are you really a senior in Diet?”
In fact, it was not a question Lee Han asked with great confidence.
As we were talking, I suddenly thought of Senior Diet, so I just asked.
However, when the other person’s answer suddenly disappeared, the doubt turned to certainty.
Who is it?
‘You must be Senior Diet.’
This time, Lee Han did not answer, so the other person answered a few more lines. For some reason, I felt that I was talking gibberish.
I don’t know who it is, but the habit of trying to name someone by throwing random names is not a good habit…
-Senior. This is Wardanaz. That wodanaj who ate a meal in the punishment room.
Again, no answer.
Lee Han said it for nothing, but he regretted it a little.
‘Didn’t you just pretend to be Moradi?’
Come to think of it, it was not a good habit for a junior to point out the mistakes of a senior.
Sometimes you have to pretend you don’t know, so you can become a loved junior.
Why did you, a freshman, get your hands on an artifact like this
?
The writing on the note looked particularly weak.
* * *
Diret further explained the artifact to Yihan.
As much as you need magic, you must be drawing magic from the surroundings. That’s probably why you can’t move… You found it in a warehouse used by graduates?
-yes.
It must have been hard to find something like that by chance, but how did you find it?
-I asked a graduate senior who was confined in the punishment room prohibited area.
…just say you don’t want to tell me if you don’t want to tell me. Junior.
Dereth answered with a slight sulk.
‘Really.’
Han Lee was unfair.
-Actually, I caught and threatened a forest mouse guarding the forest of Polymorph on the 3rd floor, and then informed me.
ah. That mouse…! Are you clever?
“……”
While feeling unfair, Lee Han was taken aback by Direth’s acceptance of the lie without a hint of doubt.
‘Do you think this makes sense?’
It was to the point of doubting what Diret really thought of Lee Han.
-I just thought that made sense…
I have to go out in a while, so I’ll tell you what I have to say quickly. Once you get more communication artifacts like this, don’t be hasty like today. The seniors here at Einrogard are never kind to the juniors.
– You are so kind, but you are really mean people.
shut up.
Diret cut off Lee Han’s flattery with a single knife.
First-year students often had fantasies as they had no contact with their seniors.
– As much as Ein Lorgard is like a dog, wouldn’t the seniors be okay?
– As much as the professors are garbage, wouldn’t the seniors be okay?
However, if you think about it carefully, there were many loopholes in that fantasy.
What kind of existence are the Einrogard seniors who came up first after going through the same freshman year life?
They were the ones who could freely sell their juniors for their own survival and profit.
The naive students who had just entered the second year were able to gain the realization that ‘Ah, the seniors and professors here are all the same’ after experiencing being used to the core.
As such, Diret was a little worried about Lee Han.
Of course, this boy from the Wardanaj family had extraordinary talents to be counted in many ways, but in terms of social experience alone, it was difficult to keep up with the worn out seniors of Einrogard.
Besides, as you can see from the fact that he got his hands on a communication artifact this time, being talented in this respect was rather poisonous.
Aren’t there a lot of things to make contact with seniors clumsily?
I’ll give you some rules so remember. Get strong first. No need to say respectful things.
– Shall we approach while cursing?
Not a bad idea. You can fake your origins.
‘what.’
I meant it as a joke, but Diret answered seriously.
Lee Han nodded and wrote a note beside him.
1. Swearing like a back alley gangster.
“…???”
Ratford, who was tidying things up next to him, looked at Lee Han’s memo and went back with a tilt of his head.
Never make a tee when you first use an artifact. Guys who often use these artifacts have a lot of experience and are quick to notice.
– I’ll keep that in mind.
This was definitely true.
It was a shame because the other person was Direth, because Lee Han could have been fooled if he was a person with an evil heart.
It’s not bad to talk less. You can ask only what you want and what the other person wants. If you have a lot of experience, the other person will know what I’m talking about.
Han Lee added a note.
2. Talk less
“???”
Few people cheat outright. But nobody cheats. You have to keep that in mind.
As difficult as it was to obtain such communication artifacts, it was not common for people to openly break promises with the other party.
There is loyalty among thieves, and there are rules even in disorderly back alleys.
However, ambiguous puns were acceptable.
Don’t believe too much what others say. don’t use this for too long Because grades are bad. i have to go now Do you have anything to ask?
-Seniors.
why?
– I will also listen to black magic in my sophomore year. i look forward to.
…I didn’t ask to burden you. Monster Wave is like that, even if you don’t have heard of black magic, you can understand it, but I just did it to find out in advance. That way, I can say hello to you so that you don’t feel burdened. I’ll say it again, but it’s not really a burden, and you don’t have to listen if you don’t want to. got it? are you listening
‘Was he such a talkative person?’
Lee Han felt slightly overwhelmed when he saw the notes filling up twice as fast as before.
– I’m just listening to black magic because it’s really fun.
After the ink was drawn onto the paper, he was silent for another while.
Lee Han tried to close the note, wondering if Diret had left.
Then one more line was added.
That’s good. see you next year
-yes.
When Diret really left, Lee Han also covered the note.
Ratford, who was tidying up next to me, approached and asked cautiously.
“I. Mr. Wodanaz. Do you need to act like a back alley thug?”
* * *
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Han Lee finished the work with Ratford.
After returning Sharkan and Gonadaltes, who had worked hard for a day, (Gonadaltes looked at Lee Han with a sad look at his situation whenever he removed a large piece of luggage), and after pushing in the garbage, there was some space.
“Was there a window here?”
“yes. There is so much graffiti on it that it must have been forgotten.”
Looking up through the small roof window, the stars were already twinkling.
Lee Han sighed as he placed the books he needed on the long, stately table in the center of the warehouse.
“The day just went by. We have to start slowly.”
“uh? Did you have any assignments?”
Ratford, who was cutting cheese for the two of them, was puzzled.
This week’s lectures were all together, and last week was the midterm exam, right?
No matter how much Wardanaz listens to it, the time to receive assignments…
“The last time I went out, I received a separate assignment. I need to write two books.”
“ah. Did you receive it separately? Do you have to read two books? It will be hard.”
Ratford nodded and walked aside.
Lee Han sat down at the table, opened the book, and prepared to concentrate.
“…for a moment. Should I use it?”
“huh? huh. You said you were going to write two volumes.”
“…….”
Ratford was about to say something, then gave up and changed the subject.
It was so sad that I couldn’t bear it without changing the subject.
“really. Wardanaz just got a new place here, so shouldn’t we give it a name? Like Wodanaz’s secret base?”
“Can’t we just call it Moradi’s secret base?”
Lee Han preferred a name that was not presumed to be his, in case it was discovered later.
“Why Moradi…?”
“okay. Let’s say it’s Wodanaz’s secret base. Any name is fine.”
Ratford’s eyes were so innocent that Lee Han quickly changed his words.
“really. Ratford. Is there anything you can do right now?”
“yes? That’s right.”
said Ratford, casually biting into a thick piece of cheese.
“Then sit in front of me and open an alchemy book. We can study together.”
“…Oh no. Come to think of it, there are still a lot of junk left over there. Let me search a little longer!”
“Ugh. Aren’t there too many? Trying to do everything in one day seems greedy…”
“You have to do your best to make progress little by little!”
Ratford hurriedly fled into a pile of junk. Lee Han shrugged and turned his gaze to the book.
< About Wardanaz's water octane and its basic principles >
Water elemental combat magic is often underestimated, but its true value cannot be easily denied by any imperial mage. The imperial magician Eumidhus organized the classic water element combat magic…
< About the limits of water octane magic and its direction of development >
What is water octane magic? To explain this, we must first talk about the underrated water elemental combat magic… Imperial mage Yumidhus…
‘Mmm. My skills haven’t died yet.’
Lee Han slightly admired his ability to put the same content into different books.
Professor Voladi or Headmaster Skeleton may dislike such a useless preface, but the original book should have such a preface.
There had to be consideration for the reader.
…First of all, the following prerequisites are required… The large amount of mana consumption is a disadvantage… To compensate for this, mana amplification methods such as blood magic… ‘Is it
too extreme?’
While writing the basic introductory text for < Su-octane of Wardanaz >, Lee Han hesitated.
It seemed a bit radical when he wrote that the high consumption of mana was a disadvantage and he had to compensate for it.
“Wardanaz-sama?”
“ah. Ratford. You want to study alchemy?”
“…ah no.”
Ratford became a little scared of Lee Han.
“Here is an unusual artifact.”
“!”
Lee Han put down his quill and walked towards Ratford.
As the pile of clutter was removed, a mirror firmly fixed to the floor appeared.
The bronze mirror had many flaws, so the surface was cloudy and could not properly reflect the face.
However, thanks to Lee Han playing with the notebook he had just played with, he instinctively recognized what kind of artifact this mirror was.
The wavelengths of the two mana were similar.
‘It’s a communication artifact!’
Wasn’t there just one thing in the warehouse?
Lee Han approached the mirror with curious eyes. And it worked the same way as the note was activated earlier.
“……”
“……”
However, unlike before, nothing happened.
‘Have the connected artifacts also lost their owners?’
It was quite possible.
There were many abandoned places in Einrogard, and in that case, the artifacts connected to them would have been abandoned as well… Earlier,
luckily Diret had a connected artifact, and when Lee Han connected, it was nearby, so it was a joke. would have been hard to hear.
“Ugh. It’s a pity. I was wondering if I could talk to another senior.”
“I will be watching.”
“no. Because only the connected person can see it anyway. Now, let’s get rid of it and sit down and study.”
“…Yes…”
Ratford sulked and sat down in front of Yihan. Now I instinctively felt that excuses no longer worked.
‘Is the old saying that knowing alchemy makes you an excellent thief true? Could it be a lie? Is alchemy really necessary?’
As he opened the book of alchemy, the skeptical thoughts trapped within it began to wield boredom to haunt Ratford.
Ugh-
“!”
Lee Han, who was playing with a quill next to him, was startled by the sound of the mirror vibrating.
“come!”
“Let’s go see it!”
“No. You do what you were studying.”
“……”
