Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 531
Chapter 531
“What is it? what’s the matter?”
“Is the artifact working? Wodanaz. Did you make it work?”
Lee Han frowned and replied.
“no. It just worked.”
“what? Nonsense. The Artifact works as it pleases. What kind of idiot made that happen?”
Salchow said incredulously.
The safety of being cast only when the caster wants it was the foundation of the foundations for the artifact.
Artifacts that act on their own without wanting to are not called artifacts. It is commonly called a trap.
“Seniors.”
“……”
“……”
The students were dumbfounded and silent.
senior right?
“No… that’s absurd.”
“okay. Salco. I’m dumbfounded too.”
Lee Han sighed when he saw the dimensional gateway artifact that was flickering like a blaze.
It was hard to believe, but the seniors who made this didn’t care about safety in the slightest.
Originally, clear spells and actions were required to activate the artifact.
However, the seniors omitted all of that in order to squeeze out a little bit of efficiency.
It was completed in a simple and ignorant way, forcibly sucking in mana and activating it the moment you set foot on the area near the artifact.
This was a simple ignorant method, to put it mildly, and a very dangerous method.
The seniors designed it themselves and had a lot of experience, so they could withdraw right away if they felt it was dangerous, but the less experienced juniors could collapse from exhaustion of horse power in one mistake.
Shouldn’t I have put on a little more safety gear when I graduated because I was worried about my juniors?
‘Are all the seniors only bastards?’
“no. Wodanaz. You said I was dumbfounded.”
“?”
Lee Han looked at Salko as if he was talking about something.
“Why didn’t you notice while the artifact was absorbing this much magic?”
“…If you read the journal, you might not notice it. child.”
Lee Han grumbled at the mean friend’s attitude of not ignoring mistakes and blaming them.
Of course, the students listening to the enchantment did not agree with Lee Han’s words.
‘What’s a guy who can feel even a weak flow of magic from a few meters away…’
Uuuung. Whoops. Woo woo woo-
The dimensional gateway artifact continued to emit a roar as it blinked.
The light grew stronger and sparks flew in the air, but the Dimensional Gate Artifact continued to work without stopping.
“Wardanaz. Are you okay? Why are you doing this? The artifact worked…?”
“I guess it just started.”
Even though it absorbed a huge amount of mana enough to shake the surroundings, the Dimensional Gate Artifact just worked.
In order to form a proper gateway, he had to absorb dozens of times more mana than he had just absorbed.
Lee Han, who grasped the structure of the artifact that greedily absorbs mana, waved his hand at his friends.
“Don’t come any closer. If the area of absorbing mana increases for no reason, you will suffer from mana depletion.”
“Wodanaz…”
“What. It is only natural to be concerned about this.”
Lee Han said in a warm voice to his friends who seemed to be moved.
As I had overworked my friends earlier, I needed to show a little bit of concern now.
“no. Are you not coming out…”
“……”
The friends were staring at Lee Han with whispers.
No matter how much mana he had, he was whispering whether it was right to leave Wodanaz alone now.
No matter how you look at it, the amount of horse power required by the artifact was too abnormal.
To think that the huge amount of magical power was just activating it.
So, how much horsepower do you need to properly form a gateway?
“I’m okay.”
“I usually don’t mind saying that.”
Gainando murmured.
Usually when Kainando said ‘I’m fine!’, it was rare that things went well.
“This bastard is ominous!”
“You are talking nonsense!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students beat Kainando on the back.
‘I’m worried about something else.’
In fact, Lee Han was not worried about the mana that was absorbing like a waterfall.
If he felt the pain caused by the exhaustion of mana, he was going to get out immediately, but his body was perfectly fine. My friends’ worries were even more embarrassing.
What Lee Han was worried about was the durability of this artifact.
It was an artifact that was completed somehow after removing all functions for efficiency and performance.
What if it explodes while charging mana?
‘The headmaster must laugh really loudly.’
At best, I defeated that powerful enemy and found the treasure inside, but I was annihilated because of an artifact that my seniors made strangely.
It was a story that the skeleton headmaster would giggle for a week.
“Can you all set the table over there?”
“Uh uh.”
“okay.”
At Lee Han’s words, the students hurriedly set up a table.
It was wise to prepare a cover in case the artifact exploded.
“hmm. Salco. I want you to cast a spell and fill the gap with soil.”
“i get it.”
Salko cast earth elemental magic to reinforce the back of the table.
Even if a shock came from this, it wouldn’t fly away easily.
“hmm. Princess. Can you summon a spirit to make it stronger?”
Adenart quickly summoned the spirits and strengthened the barricade.
The barricade made of sand and water and pebbles was so hard that it would not budge even with moderate kicks.
“hmm. Trying to be a bit fuzzy with this. Guinan Island. Summon some bone elements. Let’s mix it up more and strengthen it.”
“……”
“……”
The students’ expressions gradually changed subtly.
If I had to reinforce the barricade this much…
…wouldn’t I just have to run away?
Lee Han, noticing his friends’ expressions, quickly made an excuse.
“I do it just in case. It’s still okay. There is no problem with the flow of magical power.”
“I didn’t notice while the artifact was absorbing magic that would kill some wizards…”
“Salcho. Do you feel good when you keep biting into your friend’s mistakes like that? huh?”
“Oh no. It wasn’t like that.”
Salko was a little taken aback when Lee Han appealed to his emotions.
Having said that, I don’t have anything else to say… but
I’m going to go to the middle of the day!!
“!”
“Look at that! It’s a crack!”
The students opened their eyes wide.
Surprisingly, cracks were forming in the air!
As if a powerful being from another dimension crossed over to this continent, a crack formed in the space, and beyond that, a completely different landscape from the underground warehouse shook.
“Whoa… Wodanaz!!!”
“You are a hero!!! You are our hero!!!”
The students of the White Tiger Tower, who had been complaining until earlier, ‘If you drink one more bottle of that bastard’s foresight potion, we’ll all die’, roared.
I was dubious about it, but the cracks in this space were proof that the Dimensional Gate Artifact was functioning properly.
“Check it! check! Where are you connected?”
“Looking at you. I’m looking… but I can’t see it! Keugh! Wodanaz! Can’t we get closer?!”
“If you’re dry and want to search, come closer.”
“That… there’s nothing to say.”
Lee Han tried to remember as much as possible what he could see through the crackling dimensional gate.
‘Isn’t it inside the mansion?’
At first glance, the place where the dimensional gateway was connected was a pretty antique mansion.
Lee Han wondered if this gateway was connected to the mansion of a noble family in a village or city not far from Ein Lorgard.
If there were students from the Blue Dragon Tower among the seniors, connecting them to the family mansion would have been the safest choice.
Chick-Geek-
“!”
Hearing the eerie noise coming from the artifact, Lee Han quickly looked away.
A dimensional gateway artifact that looks like it was made by crawling out of junk.
The artifact’s skeleton could not withstand the magical overload and was twisting and creaking.
I was worried about durability, but it’s already like this.
Lee Han gritted his teeth and quickly got out of the artifact.
“Explode!? Is it exploding!?”
When Gainando saw Lee Han running towards him, he almost screamed.
“no. Stop it for now!”
“That… I see.”
Kainando nodded and asked in a slightly lowered voice.
“Explode?”
“…it won’t explode.”
After tricking the other kids and feeding Gainando, who thought he would only tell him, a piece of honey chestnut, Lee Han turned his attention to the artifact.
Fortunately, the Artifact, whose magic source had disappeared, was slowly cooling down as per the calculation.
The dimensional gates disappeared, the rifts in space closed, and it became quiet as if what had just happened had been a lie.
“……”
“It’s all good. It’s not broken.”
The students treated the dimensional gateway artifact with affection and love, like a final exam paper.
“Wardanaz. When are you going to make it work again?”
“…Do you guys know where that thing is connected?”
Lee Han was dumbfounded at the eyes of his friends who were thinking of going in without knowing where they were.
But my friends also had their own logic.
“What do you know? Anywhere would be better than Einrogard.”
“……”
Lee Han was speechless for a moment. Is
that…
is it?
“Wait a minute. I will read the journal again.”
Lee Han, who stopped reading because of the forced mana recharging earlier, reached out his staff and brought the journal.
‘Where did you connect it?’
Lee Han’s face, which had been rummaging around, suddenly hardened as if he had bumped into a basilisk.
Yoner glanced at the journal, puzzled.
‘Why is Lee Han like that?’
Crazy Skeletons can’t imagine where we’re targeting. haha. When complete, your villa in the city will be ours! I’ll rake all the treasure to the bottom and set it on fire!
“……”
“……”
Lee Han let out a deep sigh.
All in all, why are you in this place?
‘Seniors aren’t helpful in life.’
“Lee Han. Are you still going?”
“Wardanaz. think it’s better If it was the principal’s outside villa, it would be empty!”
“quiet. Everyone close your eyes.”
Lee Han knocked the floor with his cane and made his friends shut up.
Gainando tried to narrow his eyes and was beaten.
“ruler. As you can see, this dimensional gateway artifact might work a few more times. When you use it once, you should use it with the thought of getting the maximum benefit… I want to hear your honest opinion.”
There were some students whose eyes widened because they wanted to go outside now, but Lee Han remained calm.
You don’t know what will happen if you go into the wrong house of the skeleton headmaster.
I was able to pretend to be strong only in front of my friends, but I don’t think everyone has the same mind.
Lee Han did not want to forcefully take a student who did not want to go.
“Even if the principal’s villa is the destination, who wants to go outside through the dimension gate?”
Slowly, all the students raised their hands.
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
‘No, these bastards…’
Aren’t they too stained with Einroguard?
* * *
“It was a really tough day.”
“Everyone had a hard time.”
Lee Han and his friends yawned and walked out.
Because they fought all night, it was already dawn when they walked out of the main building.
“Wardanaz. I’m going with you on the weekend.”
“okay.”
“Wardanaz. I’ll be sure to go with you on the weekend. We must not leave.”
“okay.”
“Wardanaz. On the weekend… Evil! evil!”
Lee Han swung his cane and chased the White Tiger Tower students away.
They promised to get together again this weekend and challenge, but it kept getting annoying.
“Isn’t there a morning lecture? Let’s all go in and get some rest.”
“I feel like I’m running out of sleep thinking about going out on the weekend.”
“Certainly, the principal’s villa is not easy.”
Lee Han nodded and said.
“So, I have something in mind.”
“oh. What?”
Friends wondered what Lee Han was thinking.
What trick did you come up with?
“The foresight potion will be completed soon, if you drink it…”
“No!”
“do not do that!”
