Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 509
Chapter 509
For some reason, it seemed that the distance from Diret had grown farther away. Lee Han once again called his senior.
“Seniors?”
“I didn’t know how to practice Bone Explosion Magic…”
Warlocks who specialized in bone elements demonstrated their tenacious power in many-to-many battles.
Not only strengthening various undead, but also direct attack and defense.
Especially when it comes to Bone Explosion, now the enemy has become the first warlock to subdue.
Once properly exploded, the destructive power was truly enormous.
But where there are advantages, there are also disadvantages.
Bone Explosion Magic was difficult to use easily, even if it consumed huge amounts of mana.
If you cast it incorrectly at close range, the warlock could be knocked down, but if you try to cast it from a distance as much as possible, the difficulty increases exponentially.
As the distance increases, the magician’s interference ability decreases.
The best way was to cause a bone explosion against summoned monsters from the undead world, but the summoned beasts didn’t like this kind of self-destruction either.
However, this junior solved such limitations with ancient necromantic techniques and a huge amount of magical power.
The person himself protected himself with a water shield and relentlessly exploded the undead, which was difficult for even seasoned black magicians to follow.
…But do I have to go this far in the first grade???
“ah. Professor Mortum told me to practice bone explosion.”
“Um… so I didn’t ask you to practice bone blast… no.”
Direth was about to say, ‘Practice with bone explosions usually means to be careful in the workshop, not practice in real battles in dungeons’, but held back for the sake of his juniors.
“Bone Explosion is the magic that causes the most accidents, and you use a combination of dark elements as well, so you have to be extra careful.”
“yes. I will always use at least one shield and spread the distance as far as possible so that only the summoned creatures self-destruct.”
The fear of Diret’s undead summons felt like a connection. Diret appeased the undead summoned beast.
-I don’t intend to self-destruct like that, so don’t worry.
“So you want to combine it with a poison element?”
“yes.”
In fact, it was an unusual case to combine it with a rare and tricky dark element, but originally, it was common to combine bone elements with other elements.
The representative element among them is the poison element.
The power of the bone element combined with various poisons boasted bloody power.
“It’s a standard way. There may not be many poisons you can use right now, but there’s nothing wrong with practicing beforehand.”
Derrett forgot what he had just thought and started talking about magic again naturally.
“There are a few things to keep in mind if you want to use the poison element instead, but the power of the Bone Explosion magic needs to be reduced a lot… Reduce it once. no. need to cut it down more again! No, why can’t you reduce the power? That’s the easiest one!”
* * *
Dereth, who wiped out the dungeon, the neck of Professor Verdus, with his juniors, returned to the Hall of Darkness.
After finishing the lecture first, Professor Mortum put together the parts for the flesh golem, and when Diret returned, he asked a question.
“Coke. You came back later than expected. Did something happen in the Vampire Weasel Dungeon?”
“ah. no. I went to the wooden dungeon and practiced necromancy combined with the dark element.”
“…?”
Professor Mortum thought for a while and then asked as if he didn’t understand.
“Collock just told me to make a cursed doll, did I need to teach it so harshly? Did Wodanaz offend you?”
“yes? no! What… uh?”
Diret was startled and tried to deny it, but upon reflection it was certainly strange.
uh…
huh??
‘Why did I do that??’
* * *
Gainando was excited as Lee Han seemed to be in a good mood for the first time in a long time.
Normally, with a tired face, he muttered, “I hope Einrogard and the professors hug each other and disappear into that lake,” which surprised Gainando, but today he was stirring the ladle of the pot with a bright face.
“Is something going on today?”
“ah. Guinan Island. I succeeded in controlling several undead.”
“……”
Gainando frowned and looked at Lee Han.
That’s why I didn’t know that I would like it that much.
“Wouldn’t it be so nice to control the undead…”
“Guinan too. Don’t you know what it means for a warlock to be able to control multiple undead?”
Unlike other wizards who always had to bring a avant-garde to protect them, warlocks who were good at summoning the undead did not have any problems even going alone.
That means that even if you accept a request, you can travel alone without having to share rewards with other adventurers.
“Eh… But it’s lonely.”
“Cainan Island. Magic is inherently lonely.”
“And the professor said that if a warlock alone takes a group of undead with him, he will be reported.”
“……”
As Gainando stabbed the sore spot, Lee Han hesitated.
It was a very plausible suggestion.
‘I’ll have to go into the dungeon and summon it from outside.’
Even if I summoned the undead and took it with me inside Einrogard, there was a reaction like ‘You must be a student of the black magic school’, but when I went outside like that, ‘Kyaaaaa! guard! Security!!” was highly likely to come out.
“Then would you like me to give you a piece of chocolate?”
“no. Don’t fill your stomach with snacks before meals.”
Lee Han firmly refused. Gainando grumbled and went to the table and sat down.
Students were already gathered near the long wooden table in front of the Phoenix Tower.
Not only the priests of the Phoenix Tower, but also the friends of the Blue Dragon Tower, and a few students of the Black Turtle Tower and the White Tiger Tower…?
“Why are you here?”
Lee Han asked in bewilderment.
They said they ate together during the flood, but why?
“after. Wodanaz.”
“?”
A student from the White Tiger Tower approached with a frown.
And in Lee Han’s hand, he gave a rare piece of Gwangnyeonguk (光靈墨) as a bribe.
“I’m counting on you.”
“…That’s right.”
The White Tiger Tower students sat down with their eyes wide open. Lee Han was dumbfounded even as he put the bribe he had received into his pocket.
‘What are they doing?’
“Wardanaz. We wish you well.”
“no. You can eat in your tower. Today’s meal is not particularly special.”
“It doesn’t taste good…”
“…”
The voices of the Black Turtle Tower students were full of sincerity.
To the point where even the cold Lee Han was overwhelmed.
“That… yes. sit down.”
What I said earlier was not empty. Dinner tonight was pretty simple.
Stew and butter toast with leftover vegetables and chicken roughly cooked, grilled bird meat skewers and rice balls caught by the priests were all… slurp
!
“hey. Someone go to the White Tiger Tower and report it.”
“I’ll do it.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students were shocked to see the White Tiger Tower students eating as if possessed.
Whether or not Lee Han did, he focused on his meal. There was still a lot to do after dinner today.
“Wardanaz. Wodanaz.”
“uh. Nilia.”
Lee Han turned his attention to Nilia’s calling.
Nilia, who had been eating skewers of bird meat until just now, was taking out the meat separately and eating it with a knife and fork.
“Why don’t you eat with your hands?”
“I don’t know what you mean? Have I ever eaten like this before?”
Looking to the side, all the students in the Blue Dragon Tower were using knives and forks.
“Just by hand…”
“Now that’s not important. Did you hear the rumor?”
“What rumors?”
“Professor is preparing a portal. So that I can sign a contract with a summoned beast that is stronger than last time.”
“!”
It was a welcome rumor.
Even if only the most outstanding talents in the empire were gathered, there were many lacking students who were still in their first year.
The best way to fill the lack of such students was, of course, a summons.
“Good. If I can make a contract with a stronger undead…”
“Huh? No… It was about a spirit…”
Nylea said hesitantly.
It was a rumor that Professor Millais was preparing to find a new spirit realm for the first year students who were listening to summoning magic, but had never heard of the undead realm.
“I heard you don’t open the undead world?”
“I think only the spirits heard about it.”
Nilia glanced at Lee Han slightly.
“They will open the undead world as well. You opened it last time.”
“That… that’s right! of course!”
Nilia agreed with Lee Han’s words and prayed earnestly.
Please, I hope that Professor Millais prepared an undead system as well!
* * *
“Recently, I found a decent spirit realm that I can contact. After checking, it seems that even students can walk around safely.”
Professor Millay looked around at the students with an upright posture and said,
Lee Han raised his hand and asked.
“professor. I have a question.”
“What question is it?”
“Is there an undead system…?”
“There are no undead this time.”
“……”
Lee Han’s expression was despondent. Nilia, who was next to her, whispered restlessly.
“You don’t have to make a contract with the undead, right? You can even make a contract with a spirit!”
“Yeah, well… I might find a treasure trove of gold piled up on the road and become the richest man in the empire.”
“……”
While Nilia was speechless, Professor Millay looked at Lee Han and said.
“Student Lee Han. It is prejudice to hastily conclude that you cannot contract with spirits. Of course, spirits tend to avoid beings with a lot of magic in general, but there are also spirits with unique characteristics.”
Lee Han, slightly cheered up by the professor’s words, asked again.
“Then, if I don’t give up and continue searching the spirit realm, can I find a decent spirit?”
“Sometimes giving up is an important thing. Lee Han student. You have to learn to give up even if you can’t find it.”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han looked at Nilia again at Professor Millay’s honest truth. Nilia hastily put her head on the desk and pretended to be reading.
“The spirits that can be found in the spirit realm are as follows…”
* * *
Students who have finished preparing pass through the magic circle one by one to the spirit realm, and Lee Han’s turn finally returns.
Nilia, who was behind, asked cautiously.
“Shall we go in together?”
“it’s okay. If I go with you, I won’t even meet you.”
“……”
Nilia was actually worried about that, so she couldn’t refute it right away.
‘I was worried that you would accept the question!’
Looking at Nilia who couldn’t control her expression, it was clear that she was worried, ‘What if I accept?’
“Go in first. See you later.”
Lee Han stopped harassing Nilia and stepped towards the magic circle.
Although it was regrettable that he could not achieve results in lectures, it is not possible to achieve perfect grades in all lectures.
Of course, he had to study even more terribly as he had to make up for the loss he saw in today’s lecture in another lecture, but Lee Han accepted it.
‘Today I should just empty my mind and go around.’
Pod!
Along with the feeling of floating, the sense that the soul moves to another plane.
The smell of salty seawater came along with the open sea without anything. It was like being alone on a remote island.
‘A sea or water marine type monster?’
The environment was the first clue given to magicians trying to negotiate with beings from other realms.
Experienced and well-informed summoning wizards even guessed the name of the spirit by looking only at the surrounding environment.
with a splash!
A spirit that looked like a dolphin stuck out on the surface of the water in the distance.
Lee Han cautiously greeted them.
“Hello, Mr. Dolphin?”
Instead of answering, the dolphin went under the surface and did not come out again.
“……”
Lee Han became bitter.
‘Should I just grab it by force?’
There was nothing more dangerous and reckless than competing with spirits in the spirit realm by force, but I think it would be better than talking aimlessly like this… ”
?
”
After Lee Han stopped the spirit flood, the pattern he received from Upinum began to glow.
At the same time, the sea in front of me parted on both sides like an ebb tide, revealing the sea path.
It was like a signal to come in.
‘The spirit repays the favor!’
Lee Han felt an overwhelming emotion.
As expected, even the insignificant insignificant thing repays the favor, as long as it is a great spirit that is about the size of Upinum…!
* * *
Professor Millay, who was sitting in the chair, frowned as he watched the magic circle move.
Since it is a magic circle that protects students with complex spells and blessings, it couldn’t be a good sign.
‘what?’
When I checked, one of the students had left the area protected by the magic circle and entered the outer area.
‘Lee Han is a student.’
Although he has not been able to confirm who it is yet, Professor Millay immediately identified the culprit.
