Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 542
Chapter 542
Meanwhile, Professor Voladi and Ikrusha, who were waiting below, were puzzled by Lee Han’s whereabouts as he returned later than expected.
“You’re late.”
– Mmm.
Ikrusha’s expression darkened as if she was worried.
Of course, looking at the power of the giants who went with Lee Han, it was a strong power that was hard to find an opponent even in this rugged mountain range.
But Ikrusha was also well aware of how unruly the giants were.
If they see a Behemoth on the road and say ‘It looks delicious!’, there is a high possibility that a young student like Lee Han will be swept away.
-Still, if you were that student, I would have contacted you when there was a problem. Wouldn’t it be okay?
“There seems to be a misunderstanding.”
-??
Ikrusha looked at Professor Lee, wanting to say something.
“Rather than that, it’s more likely that Wodanaz will lead the giants.”
-What… do you mean that?
Ikrusha was dumbfounded by Professor Voladi’s words.
Are you saying that a young student is forcibly dragging giants around?
The giants said, ‘Oooh, we want to go back,’ but the student said, ‘No! Go to the next place!’
No matter how you think about it, it was nonsensical.
“I am a person who enjoys challenges.”
-No, no matter how much you enjoy it, dragging giants is not a level of challenge…
Even if you are a wizard who likes challenges, if you stick with giants, your thoughts will change, saying, ‘Actually, I seem to have liked a comfortable life’.
Ikrusha was 100% sure.
That’s why the giants’ daily life was rough and violent.
– We’re here!
-!!
While talking, Ikrusha was surprised to see the giants returning from afar.
He had been covered with mud and crumbs from the swamp all over his body, and even had minor scars.
There weren’t too many suspects even in these mountains for the giants to be hurt that much.
-What are you doing here?
-The old yaksha and I came to get rid of the ghoul dragon.
-I didn’t want to do it originally, but I did it because of the wizard.
-!
Ikrusha looked at Lee Han with shocked eyes.
Originally, Ikurusha would have understood, ‘The yaksa asked for it, and the students helped, and the giants listened to it’, but I was momentarily mistaken because of Professor Voladi’s words.
-really?!
-uh? Yes.
‘Why are you like that?’
Lee Han was puzzled when Ikurusha made a shocked expression that he did not usually see.
Come to think of it, I did just that.
It’s because I went up to work moderately with giants and did too big a job.
“sorry. I can’t help it thanks to the old man…”
“It’s okay.”
Professor Voladi blocked the student’s apology as if he had already expected it.
“It’s already over.”
“ah. yes.”
“But please refrain from overdoing the challenge. I remember what you said last time.”
“…….”
Lee Han looked at the professor in amazement.
Now who said that to whom?
* * *
Ratford looked at Lee Han, who was drooping more than usual.
“Did you not sleep?”
“No… I rode the mountain in the morning and made a fuss…”
“Oh no. Is it because of the White Tiger Tower?”
A student from the White Tiger Tower passing by flinched.
‘omg. Is it really because of us?’
“no. Because of ghoul dragons and giants…”
‘Whew. No.’
The white tiger tower student, who was relieved, took a few more steps and screamed.
“what? A ghoul dragon? giant??”
“Why are you eavesdropping on other people’s conversations! It’s like a thief!”
“Oh no…! I heard it while passing by. Pass by!”
While Ratford was arguing with the White Tiger Tower student, Lee Han stuffed a thick chicken sandwich with pickles cut into his stomach.
He felt the need to recover his energy before the fantasy magic lecture began.
Enemy!
Hearing the hot sound, I looked to the side and saw Ymirg eating a whole thick chicken leg.
When our eyes met, Ymirg hesitated before asking.
“Do you want to eat?”
“I have enough of this. Rather… no.”
Yihan was about to ask why Ymirg didn’t sit next to the Turtle Tower friends and sit next to Leehan and Ratford.
Ratford was originally friendly, but Ymirg was a bit shy.
‘Whoops. It’s rewarding to work hard to feed them during the flood.’
Lee Han was pleased to see his efforts triumphing over the notoriety of the Wodanaz family.
When I first entered Einrogard, even though I helped the Black Turtle Tower students, ‘Hick! Wodana’s monster, no family!’
“uh? Ymirg why are you sitting there?”
“Oops…! late! I should have sat next to Wardanaj!”
The friends of the Black Turtle Tower, who belatedly recalled the characteristics of the fantasy magic lecture, felt sorry for them and hit their knees.
It was very helpful to have one guy like Wodanaz who stood firm and unshakable when various fantasy magics disturbed the five senses.
Do you know that and prepare in advance? Indeed, there was something different about being an honor student.
“shit. I have to sit in the back.”
“Move! This is where I sat first!”
“Aren’t you guys at the White Tiger Tower even confident? Are you going to use it when you curse at Wodanaz like that?”
“Ah… isn’t it? I didn’t even think of using Wodanaz as a shield…!”
“……”
Lee Han, who was listening to the conversation, felt betrayed.
‘Because they’re like these ungrateful people.’
“now. Everyone is welcome!”
The classroom door opened and Professor Kirmin entered. Among the professors of Ein Lorgard, he was dressed to the point where he could be proud of being one of the best in fashion.
Professor Kirmin took out a small piece of stone from the front pocket of his dark blue velvet vest and threw it at the nearest student.
pop!
“Ugh… ugh. Aww!”
“Can’t stop! You have to stay calm. keep calm.”
In the first semester, Professor Kirmin taught basic and interesting magic, but from the second semester, he gradually taught me how to respond to fantasy magic.
And in order to know how to respond to fantasy magic, you had to be beaten a lot.
“Not only in Ein Lorgard, but if you travel throughout the empire, you will come across many illusions and illusions. If you don’t learn it beforehand, you could lose a lot. Didn’t I tell you the story of the hapless Dwarf Guriangeum who was greatly deceived by illusion magic?”
“yes!”
“ruler. Gap!”
Professor Kirmin savagely blew the smoke he had trapped in a glass bottle at the student who had just breathed in his answer.
The smoke dissipated the student’s magical powers and temporarily paralyzed their resistance before drawing them into an illusion.
“principal! Ahh! It’s the principal!!”
Professor Kirmin smiled apologetically as he saw the students in the illusion of the skeleton headmaster attacking him.
“sorry. You learn by doing this.”
There were two main ways to block illusion magic.
One is to prevent themselves from being affected by fantasy magic.
Equip yourself with strong resistance like Lee Han, wear various artifacts to defend yourself, or be wary of fantasy magic and avoid contact.
Fantasy magic was not something that could be cast at will without any restrictions like the spirit of the word.
Normally, contact should be made in some way by default, but just blocking such contact at the source was able to see some effect.
“Huh…!”
As the professor approached, one of the students held his breath and closed his eyes.
Then Professor Kirmin laughed and waved his wand. The magic flew away and the student fell into an illusion.
“ah. Wodanaz. Can you run some errands for me?”
“yes. professor.”
Lee Han stood up with a sense of alertness. Professor Kirmin waved his hand as if he was okay.
“You’re naturally resistant, so you don’t have to be so vigilant. I’m not some kind of bagleg professor.”
“Even the principal always tells me to trust you.”
Professor Kirmin made a genuinely hurt expression.
“Hey, I’m trying to teach you guys how to deal with illusion magic. Isn’t it too much to compare you to the principal?”
Lee Han carefully received the note and stepped out into the hallway. Fortunately, there were no attacks until we left.
‘What kind of errand is this?’
Make students stand in the hallway during the attack.
Kirmin Ku
“……”
-Evil! Wodanaz! Wodanaz You stupid bastard! What if I just leave!
-Haha, you can’t be careless like this! Have I forgotten that illusion mages must always remain vigilant?
While Lee Han was out for a while, Professor Kirmin killed all the students who trusted only Lee Han.
After everyone was drenched in a cold sweat and woke up from the fantasy, Professor Kirmin said as if he was sorry.
“It’s actually impossible to not take it at all. Especially when your skills are low. So…”
Professor Kirmin, who was talking, met Lee Han’s eyes.
“okay. Except for you, Wodanaz.”
“I didn’t say anything, Professor.”
“Even if you get caught, you have to know how to get out of it calmly.”
The second way to block illusion magic is to calmly dispel it after it has been applied.
It started with awareness first.
After becoming aware of it, the sense of incongruity felt around you increases one by one, and when the sense of incongruity is accumulated enough to exceed a certain amount, you figure out the structure of the magic on yourself and cancel it in reverse.
At this time, the more you know about various magic, the more advantageous it is. It was easier to figure out the identity if you knew the magic in advance rather than figuring it out one by one with instinct.
“Illusion magic is a more advantageous field for more experienced wizards, but that doesn’t mean you can’t stop practicing. Wodanaz. I’m just saying this in case you didn’t know, but you know that breaking by force is prohibited today, right?”
“professor. I’m really sorry for destroying all the magic circles last time. But I made a mistake not knowing what was going to happen…”
Lee Han grumbled inwardly at Professor Kirmin’s pettiness, who still scolded him for accidentally blowing up the magic circles during the last lecture.
How could you expect that!
“okay. You could be wrong. Wodanaz, I think you did it knowingly.”
“uh.”
“Did you really know that?”
The students next to me looked at me with respect and emotion.
Could it be that Wodanaz destroyed the magic circle for them?
“No, you idiots.”
“Ah…”
Lee Han’s expression immediately turned the students into awe.
thud!
As the professor waved his wand, a mountain of crates piled up in front of the students.
The boxes were made by roughly carving wood, but all of them had sharp and intricate locks.
The students groaned at the magic they felt there.
You can guess what they’re going to do today.
“If you go around ruins or dungeons, you’ll often see fantasy magic and machinery linked together. If you are a good magician, you can even disarm the machinery just by looking at the structure of illusion magic.”
“professor. I’m not going to go into a dungeon in my life…”
“You’re so full of confidence? But I’d like to put that confidence aside for a while. When you’re in Einrogard, you don’t choose the dungeon.”
The student who grumbled and received an ominous prophecy about his future grabbed the box with a sad face.
Pushy!
“Heuk!”
The student who touched the box by mistake was hit by smoke from inside and caught in illusion magic.
The students who saw it were even more disgusted.
Who would like such trivial and laborious work?
Most wizards only love the splendid aspects of magic, but few love the annoying aspects.
“hey. is this fun? Ratford. would you like to see Did you solve it right?”
“You are very good.”
“How much do I have to be to enter the dungeon without taking a technician with me?”
“I think this is enough…?”
“what are you saying. Ratford. You’re all good, but the downside is that you overestimate me.”
“No, I think that’s really enough…”
