Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 536
Chapter 536
“Are you in a bad mood and you’re arguing?”
Lee Han, who did not understand what the skeleton principal said, thought so.
In fact, Headmaster Skeleton was more of a person when he was in a bad mood than when he was in a good mood. How painful it must be to spend a golden weekend with an annoying bard and an annoying disciple.
“Then let’s go to the next place.”
“yes.”
After finishing the memo, Ipadur moved to the next place.
Next were the stonemasons guild members who were repairing the wall that had been damaged by the wild wyvern attack.
-A ten-fingered dwarf swings a hammer. He became a nine-fingered dwarf. A nine-fingered dwarf swings a hammer. He became an eight-fingered dwarf… -Excellent,
wonderful!
– This is a miracle!
Next was the Tvaladla tavern, which had the best beer on the street.
– One day, a lost monster attacked the village and defeated it. People asked for a reward, but all I need is a beer! I knocked them down because bigger monsters were burning the territory. People praised it, but all I need is beer!
-Boo! go away!
-That’s a song!
After that, the gambling hall where the wizard’s card game is being played…
-If you risk your life one by one…
-Can’t you be quiet about this?
-It’s not because of you that trash cards keep coming out!
And next was a small club of local historians.
-We know there is a secret in the book…
-I just got a new inspiration.
– This is a miracle song!
Lee Han, who sat down at a cafe to take a break after a brisk tour, said as if he didn’t understand.
“True, primal magic is fickle. I have no idea what the rules are.”
It was highly praised by members of the masons’ guild and the historian’s club, but booed in taverns and gambling houses.
Lee Han couldn’t tell the difference.
“……”
“……”
Ipadur and the Headmaster Skeleton exchanged glances.
Unlike Lee Han, it was because the two seemed to know each other.
Turtle Soo-in cleared his throat and then looked at Lee Han and started talking.
“Student of Wardanaz. Do you not like to play very much?”
“yes???”
Lee Han was surprised.
Lee Han doesn’t like to play.
It was insulting, as if I had been told, ‘You really don’t like money very much?’
“Are you saying that I did something wrong and insulting you like that?”
“Oh no…”
The old minstrel was taken aback by the exemplary pupil’s first violent display.
Headmaster Skeleton answered for Ipadur.
“I don’t like to play very much.”
“no!”
“You are right that you don’t like it. A student of this former school.”
“No, that’s…!”
I tried to argue with some of them because of you, but the Headmaster Skeleton didn’t give a chance.
“I didn’t expect it to be this much, but there is a really distinct tendency. This should be called regular rather than uncertain.”
“You are right.”
Ipadur agreed, running his wrinkled fingers through the log.
Originally, it was difficult to find the rules for primitive magic because the conditions were difficult, but it was rather easy to understand in the case of the boy of the Wodanaz family.
It was clear that he sang well the songs that matched the direction of life he was pursuing, but the songs that did not contain his emotions.
Originally, even the right song should have a low probability of success, but the boy of the Wodanaz family was able to confirm it like this thanks to his unique ability.
“Thank you very much. Wodanaz students.”
“Maybe there is something wrong with the theory?”
Lee Han tried to find fault with them, but the two just ignored them.
Ipadur was busy looking at the scores he had recorded today.
“Hmm. Seeing that these tunes… appear in succession…
”
Looking at the scribble-like score of Ipadur, Lee Han carefully presented his opinion.
As each person wrote or received songs from different people, the method of recording pitches and rhythms was a mess, and some parts were even omitted.
It didn’t matter when Ipadur sang alone, but a common standard was needed to organize it with musical magic.
“Aha… That’s right.”
The old bard admired Lee Han’s words.
Obviously, as a student of Einrogard, Ipadur himself pointed out a method he hadn’t thought of.
Ipadur drew a simple sheet music frame and symbols and handed over half of the memo to Lee Han.
“Could you please tidy this up?”
“……”
Lee Han, who dug his own grave, began to clean up with a gloomy face.
The skeleton headmaster, who was watching from the side, clicked his tongue.
At that level, I hated playing, so I hated it.
* * *
After tidying up, Ipadur was pleased to find a few common lines and chords.
It is said that 80% of music magic is the caster’s emotions, but this rule was always found in such a process.
These rules will serve as great guidelines as you try and create new musical magic in the future.
“But more important than that is casting. cast.”
“You are right.”
Ipadur agreed.
The biggest weakness of music magic was that the magic itself was so weak that it was difficult to cast.
“Can you give me some advice? If it is the wisdom of Lord Gonadaltes…”
“There is no way.”
The skeleton headmaster complained about his dislike of music magic, but he did not ignore the request.
“The words that increased the concentration of magical power around them put magical energy into them. Both of these methods are difficult to implement in practice. Therefore, wizards who want to challenge this magic will have to use both methods to produce results somehow.”
“Both ways… I never thought of it!”
As Ipadur admired, Headmaster Skeleton proudly continued.
“exactly. You should start by singing in chorus first. Even if it’s difficult alone, if you’re together, you’ll be able to increase the concentration of magic around you to some extent. The same goes for putting magic into words. If you look at the case, there were ordinary people who were momentarily intoxicated by emotions and squeezed out their own magical powers. It’s a much lower way than putting it in words itself, but it will be a breakthrough.”
Ifadur diligently took notes of the skull headmaster’s advice.
“Do the students already know how to increase the concentration of mana in groups?”
“Perhaps that is unlikely. It’s a rare method, and it wouldn’t have happened. Let Wardanaz continue to show and implement what he does. There will be trial and error, but it can’t be helped.”
“?”
Lee Han, who was resting next to him, was taken aback when an arrow suddenly flew at him.
“Squeezing out mana…”
“It’s the same. Few students are accustomed to such violent methods. Likewise, continue to sing Wodanaz. Like Eonryung, in the end, repeating what you see and hear is the best way. Even if you can’t put mana into words, you can squeeze it out and pour it out as close as possible.”
“Thank you so much for the advice!”
“Uh…”
Ipadur, in high spirits, stood in front of the café and began to sing.
It was a singing skill that would make even passers-by pay attention.
In an instant, people gathered. Everyone in the crowd cheered and clapped.
Everyone was happy with the music. Except for Lee Han and Principal Skeleton.
“……”
“So I told you that music magic won’t help much.”
“…no. I’m happy…”
Lee Han bluffed because he didn’t want to please the skeleton headmaster.
Headmaster Skeleton shook his head at the sight.
“Then I’ll pick up all the garbage magic and study it.”
-master.
The Death Knight, who covered his entire body so as not to scare the people of other cities, approached and said.
-As you said, we have them on standby.
“i get it. Good job. tell them to wait a little longer No one complains?”
– When he heard the name of the master, he fell silent.
“okay.”
“…?”
In the conversation between the skull principal and the Death Knight, Lee Han’s eyes immediately shone.
It felt like there was some hidden information in the conversation.
“Who are you?”
“These are the workers needed for this project. why? Are you going to work with that too?”
“no. I was just curious.”
Skeleton Principal replied casually. It was because, befitting a person who has dealt with countless students, he knew very well that there would be nothing good by hiding or expressing resentment here.
The best camouflage was the usual appearance itself.
However, this limit was not easy.
No matter what the skeleton headmaster said, he decided not to believe it unconditionally.
‘Check and go.’
Coincidentally, Ipadur finished a song and was receiving enthusiastic applause. Yihan whispered to Ipadur as he offered cold water.
“Ipadur. I have a favor to ask.”
“What is…?”
“I didn’t have a chance to go out because the school rules were strict, but there is a book I really want to buy. Sobbing.”
Lee Han said, trying to look as pitiful as possible.
Ipadur was very sorry that it had worked.
I wanted to give you something in return for helping music magic, but I never thought there would be a story like this!
As students in the midst of boiling blood, even if the rules were strict, I had no choice but to go outside.
Ifadur nodded.
“What can I do for you, student Wardanaz?”
“Would you please pass the time by talking to the principal separately? Then I will buy the book right away.”
The old tortoise beastman winked his eyes as if asking to be left alone.
“Now… everyone. everyone. Thank you so much for liking this old man’s song. I want to sing the next song with someone else.”
“Could it be one of us?”
“Nonsense. If I could do that, even my grandchildren’s grandchildren would be honored!”
“You are a great person who knows his name. Gonadaltes ball! It would be an honor if you could sing a song with me.”
“????”
Headmaster Skeleton sat in his seat and closed his eyes with a sad expression before raising his head.
what did you just say?
“The late Gonadaltes?? You mean the archmage?”
“I… I heard that all the people I saw before turned to stone. They imprison those stone people in their dungeons and use them as decorations…”
“What nonsense! There was no way the person who taught the students of Einrogard would do such a violent thing. It must have been malicious rumors spread by enemies!”
People murmured, and among them the city’s luxury men shouted with their eyes twinkling.
The song of Ipadur is also great, but the song of a great wizard like Gonadaltes!
It was like a story that would never get tired of talking about at parties and banquet halls for the rest of my life.
“Gonadaltes. If you call me just once, I will remember you as a lifetime honor!”
“please! please!”
‘Should I kill them all…’
Skeleton Headmaster thought of the donations from the families of this city.
Then the anger subsided a little.
* * *
“Sharkan. thanks.”
With the help of Sharkan, Lee Han carefully caught the Death Knight’s back.
The Death Knight increasingly came out to a secluded place in the city. Lee Han cast invisibility magic to avoid being discovered.
‘Are you really a worker?’
Seeing the Death Knight heading to the shabby warehouse, Lee Han wondered if he was oversensitive.
Well, even though Einrogard looked quiet on the outside, there were always a lot of people coming and going inside.
As long as the number of people is the number of people, it is impossible for merchants and workers to enter.
thud!
When the door closed, Lee Han quickly moved closer to the warehouse and listened.
– Everyone has been waiting for a long time.
“Are you going to keep me locked up here for three damn days?! I was going to let it go, but it really…”
Puck!
– Shut up. you trash
Death Knight hit the mercenary who spoke out.
-Be grateful for saving the lives of criminals like you. If you complain one more time, I will turn you into a stone statue and throw you deep underground where no one comes.
The mercenaries were terrified and shut up.
-There is only one way you guys can get out of here. train and practice To be able to defeat the wizards even if they come face-to-face.
“I don’t know what kind of wizard they’re aiming for, but bring them! I can kill you even now!”
– Still a long way off. Practice more. Only those who have passed the standard will be released.
“……”
Lee Han sighed deeply.
He could guess why he had brought those mercenaries.
