Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 520
Chapter 520
Lee Han suddenly fell silent at Yoner’s words.
Is that…
is that so?
‘ the opponent wouldn’t have seen me as a 1th grade, and I don’t think he didn’t even see me as a 2th grade. It’s very likely that he was in the 3rd or 4th grade.’
If it was the skeleton principal, he wouldn’t be surprised if he prepared Hydra for the 3rd and 4th graders.
However, Cainando gave a negative opinion.
“That headmaster might have prepared a hydra to use on us. Just because there’s a hydra, there’s no law saying you have to defeat it. What if avoiding is an ordeal?”
“I don’t… I don’t.”
At those words, the friends were slightly shaken.
Certainly, defeating the hydra and avoiding the hydra’s gaze were of different difficulties.
“Even if I had to defeat him, it would be Lee Han alone.”
“Right… Huh?”
Lee Han nodded and looked at Gainando.
What was shocking was that the other friends also responded by saying ‘I think it’s plausible?’
‘These bastards.’
While he was determined to take his friends with him if he had to fight the Hydra, a new person appeared from above.
It was Professor Voladi.
“……”
Lee Han froze.
I thought it was a test prepared by Headmaster Skeleton, but was it really a test prepared by Professor Voladi??
‘no. That is nonsense. Final exams are giants? Do I really have to deal with a giant riding a hydra?’
“what’s the matter?”
“Shh.”
Lee Han stabbed his cane to cover Gainando’s mouth and focused his attention.
Professor Voladi stopped in front of the Death Knights and looked at the Hydra.
“It’s still rough.”
-sorry. They’re so ferocious…
“Is what I asked for ready?”
-yes. I gave them a lot of food, so I’ll have to pull them out now.
One Death Knight approached the Hydra and went deep into the mouth so large that it almost seemed like it had been eaten.
After a while, the Death Knight collected a few drops of thick venom from the hydra’s venom gland and brought it out in a glass bottle.
-Here you are. But where are you going to use it?
“As food for the basilisk.”
-Are you raising basilisks too?
The Death Knights exchanged glances with each other, saying, ‘As expected, you are choosing crazy things like an untitled professor.’
Most of the professors in Einrogard were crazy, but among them, professors without students were even more insane.
But the Death Knights didn’t say anything.
Because it wasn’t their job anyway.
– Basilisk will love it.
-guy. I hope they eat their fill and carry the students happily.
“I wish I did too.”
Professor Voladi simply said hello and went back.
Seeing this, Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.
‘I didn’t come here for the test.’
He had come for a short time to get the basilisk’s food, not to prepare for Lee Han’s test.
Lee Han felt a deep sense of relief.
-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The baby basilisk let out a sharp, sensitive hiss in disapproval.
Lee Han was puzzled.
“Isn’t poison good for you?”
‘Of course it’s not good for me…’
The baby basilisk tapped its tail as if it never wanted to eat it.
No matter how good the medicine was, I couldn’t help not wanting to take it.
“Right. Um… but if the professor tries to feed it, I won’t be able to stop it.”
-……
The baby basilisk became sullen.
At that time, Gainando made a noise.
“Geez, go.”
Gainando, holding a cane, gestured and pointed far away.
The Death Knights finished their work and were escaping to the other side.
If you check it out, it was a golden opportunity.
“let’s go!”
The students quickly opened the door and crawled out from below.
The hydra was sleeping peacefully with its nine heads laid down, probably feeling relieved from its temper earlier.
Lee Han found a sign in front of it.
There was another sign next to
the big hydra
4th year dragon .
Small Hydra
3rd year dragon
It was hidden from view in the basement, but there was another small Hydra next to it. The little hydra turned its head and yawned.
No matter how invisibility magic was applied, the students who witnessed the awake hydra froze.
‘No matter how transparent magic is, the monster’s senses cannot be ignored.’
Lee Han cautiously waved his staff.
It is said that there is invisibility magic, but even if the hydra senses something out of place and swings its tail, a disaster will occur.
‘Gonadaltes. request!’
Among the summonable summons now, the easiest to cast and the cleverest was the skeleton warrior Gonadaltes.
This skeleton warrior was capable of far more precise movements than Lee Han could make himself.
When the summoned Skeleton Warrior made a sound behind the small Hydra, the small Hydra turned their heads all at once and divided and swallowed the Skeleton Warrior.
‘thanks. Gonadaltes.’
Lee Han secretly thanked the summoned beast and escaped from the domain of Hydra with his friends.
Ymirg, who was also studying black magic, asked in bewilderment.
“Don’t you get angry if you treat a cow pet like that?”
Warlocks didn’t just roll in graveyards and smear their clothes with rotten mud to make friends with their undead summons.
Summoned beasts from other worlds could always have dissatisfaction, and even if they were bound by contracts, they could be stabbed in the back somehow if treated carelessly.
As such, it was quite dangerous to openly send undead summons as bait like Lee Han.
“no. Gonadaltes is loyal and kind, so it’s okay.”
“……”
Ymirg was surprised to see the Skeleton Warrior being torn apart and reverse summoned by the heads of the small hydra.
Is it really good?
‘If you want to be good at black magic, that kind of heartlessness might be essential…’
Even if it was the same action originally, it felt different between what Wodanaz did and what Gainando did.
Seeing the student, the head of black magic, act like that, Ymirg was tempted for no reason.
If you think about it, wouldn’t Ymirg himself have treated the undead summons too weakly until now?
‘I’ll have to be more ruthless like Wardanaj…!’
Seeing Ymirg clenching his fists, Lee Han, sitting on top, was puzzled.
‘what? Are you determined to catch the hydra next?’
Lee Han thought a little about whether he should stop his friend.
“I think I got out. Wodanaz.”
“okay. Everyone suffered.”
When enough of the hydra had fallen off, the students sat down and took a break.
After going through the secret passage and meeting Hydra, he was quite tired.
Lee Han passed the bottle of lemonade to his friends.
‘The fortunate thing is that it was the 34th grade exam.’
Looking at the sign in front of Hydra, I was very fortunate that it was a test that had nothing to do with Lee Han.
In a way, it seemed like he only lost money by trading with the other person through the mirror, but Lee Han wasn’t angry at all.
Because I was rather lucky!
‘I thought the other person really thought of me as a 3rd grader or higher…’
I did my best to disguise myself, but I didn’t expect it to work this well.
After resting for a while and recovering their energy, the friends looked around a bit.
“Lee Han. Did you see this?”
Garden of Gonadaltes
Students are not allowed to enter!
“As expected, the principal’s test was correct.”
“Look at this too.”
Garden of Gonadaltes
Students are absolutely prohibited from entering!
“This too.”
Garden of Gonadaltes
Students are absolutely, absolutely, absolutely prohibited from entering!!!!
“…I can understand it just by looking at it, so stop bringing signs.”
Lee Han stopped Gainando from coming with a new sign.
He already knew where this place was.
‘It must be something like a stable for dangerous animals.’
Ordinary horses and non-dangerous animals could have been put in stables throughout the school, but there were many more dangerous animals than horses in Einrogard.
Basilisk Hydra Griffon…
Lee Han suddenly wondered if there were too many dangerous beasts around him.
‘what. When did you grow up like this?’
In any case, if these beasts were loosely released, no matter how free Einrogard was, the damage to the students would be considerable.
Naturally, there had to be a place that specialized in raising these dangerous beasts.
In particular, there was no way there wouldn’t be a place like this with the headmaster’s personality.
“Isn’t that a fire dog?”
“That’s a stymphalos bird! I heard that feathers are so expensive…”
“What? Can you take one with you?”
Lee Han, who saw rare animals hissing by, suddenly regretted that he should have studied magic more.
Professor Boladi was actually right.
You never know when or how you’ll need magic!
‘If I could have caught it, I would have taken it unconditionally!’
I couldn’t see a way to catch it as it flew like a gun over the jungle and disappeared.
“Did you see me there?? It’s a ghost chicken! There’s a ghost chicken over there!”
“Imimirrugg. It’s okay if you don’t shake and talk.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Ymirg stopped shaking Yihan and pointed cautiously.
There was an unusual looking chicken in one clearing.
It was so large that it was several times larger than other chickens, its eyes were dark, and it was ferociously pecking at the base of a tree and displaying its temper.
‘curse?’
As the head of black magic, Lee Han immediately noticed the energy flowing through the whole body of the ghost chicken.
That ominous array of magical powers was close to a curse. It was clear that he would curse the person he came into contact with.
“That ghost chicken is really precious. Me… I’m seeing you for the first time too.”
Ymirg swallowed his saliva in excitement. Lee Han said without thinking.
“Then why not take it with you?”
“uh?”
“I wondered if I could take it. I was told to take it anyway.”
Of course, the skull principal didn’t let him take it, but Lee Han was on the side of respecting the principal’s teachings.
If you have the skills to take it, you can take it!
“That’s kind of… there’s no place to grow it…”
“It’s enough to find a place to grow it. But besides being cute, does that ghost chicken have any other strengths?”
As you can tell from the fact that he petted the chick earlier, it was clear that Ymirg liked the chicken kind.
Maybe that ghost chicken thought it was cute too.
“Benefits? Feathers and eggs are expensive…?”
Ymirg wondered if this was an advantage, and said timidly.
Lee Han replied firmly.
“Let’s take it. Seeing that it emits a curse, I must catch it.”
“!?”
* * *
Monday.
Lee Han, who had recovered from his muscle pain to some extent, moved to attend Professor Lightning Step’s lecture.
Skeleton warriors from the side supported the owner, who was still unable to move freely.
“……”
“……”
When the students of the White Tiger Tower saw it, they whispered and ran away.
‘Why are you doing that, Wardanaz?’
‘I don’t know. don’t make eye contact It looks like he’s trying to start a fight.’
Lee Han, who found Professor Lightning Walk, lowered his head.
“hello. professor.”
“okay. I can’t say goodbye.”
“Is anything going on?”
“I am I trusted the principal and left the textbook for today’s lecture, but he said he lost it. I don’t know if you mean that.”
“Oops. Are you protesting firmly?”
Foreboding that the difficulty of today’s lecture would decrease, Lee Han felt a little better, but kept his expression like a professional.
“Of course I will protest more later. I told you to believe in yourself and leave it! Of course, I put it there because it’s a tricky guy…”
“What kind of guy was it?”
“Do you know that it’s a ghost chicken? You probably haven’t seen it in person because it’s rare.”
“…!”
