Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 543
Chapter 543,
“Is it going to be that exciting?”
Professor Kirmin was puzzled as he watched Lee Han and Ratford happily dismantle the box.
Of course, as a professor, I was happy that the students were interested in the content of the lecture and showed their passion, but I was rather embarrassed when they were so passionate about the content that was not very interesting no matter how much I thought about it.
“professor. Are there any more difficult chests?”
“Wardanaz. Aren’t you going somewhere to steal?”
Professor Kirmin joked.
Lee Han’s eyes twitched slightly.
“What are you talking about? It is an academic quest for fantasy magic.”
“Right… that’s right. It can’t be, can it?”
“It is a joke. joke.”
* * *
Unlike some professors who like whips and whips, Professor Kirmin is a gentle professor who prefers sticks and carrots.
After the students have wrestled with uninteresting and boring boxes, the next step is to show them something interesting to strike a balance.
“Everyone had a lot of trouble holding on to the boring box and releasing it.”
“no. It was fun.”
At Lee Han’s words, his friends glared at him from behind as if to kill him.
I couldn’t stare from the front, so I had to stare from behind.
This is why the senior of the year is…!
“Then shall we continue the magic we taught you last time? Do you all remember?”
“Yes Professor!”
The students’ faces lit up.
After the tedious analysis and release, a lecture close to real life came.
The professor called one of the students and said:
“ruler. try.”
“…Oyster bend!”
When the student who cast the < Projectory Refraction > magic cast an additional magic missile, the fist-sized blue orb, which should normally fly straight, appeared to fly from a different direction than it actually was.
It was an illusion magic that unexpectedly confused and displayed the trajectory of the magic cast by the wizard.
“Uh…!”
As soon as it seemed that the magic missile would hit the professor directly in the face, the student who cast it let out an embarrassed sound.
Lee Han looked at him with slightly expectant eyes.
Of course, Professor Kirmin did not greet me. The moment the magic exploded, the professor’s alter ego disappeared as if it were crumbling.
“!”
“…!!”
Goose bumps ran down the spines of the students present.
To think that the professor I was talking to just now was actually an alter ego. I can’t even guess when it changed.
“Good job good job. But so honest. You will have to learn to cheat a little more.”
All of the great illusion wizards were good at deception.
If something happened to attack a fortress, a reinforced mage would enter from the front like a knight armed with heavy armor, deflect incoming attacks and crush the enemies.
However, if you are a fantasy wizard, you will kill the commander before the people of the fortress even notice and pretend to be the commander of the fortress.
Contrary to head-to-head competition and splendor, surprise and deceit were essential to fantasy magic.
“ruler. Then let’s pair each other up. One to attack and one to defend. The person in charge of attacking is to trick the opponent into overpowering them somehow. got it? Wodanaz. Where are you going? you should do it with me You did it with me last time.”
“Yes…”
Lee Han went back in front of Professor Kirmin, sullen.
Students sent greetings mixed with respect to the professor. Professor Kirmin waved his hand as if he knew well.
“Honestly, you won’t be sorry if you compete with them.”
“What is it?”
Professor Kirmin pretended not to hear Lee Han. During his time as a professor at Einrogard, he developed a knack for pretending not to hear anything unfavorable to him.
“I learned that from Professor Baegrek, but it’s impossible for ordinary students.”
“I didn’t learn much.”
“Wardanas, you pretended to be dead and erased the attack on me from your memory, right?”
Professor Kirmin looked at Lee Han as if he was dumbfounded.
During the last lecture, Lee Han suddenly collapsed pretending to have a heart attack.
No matter how you think about it, it was a trick that Professor Bae is suspicious of.
“ruler. Stop talking nonsense and start.”
“yes. Increase!”
Lee Han memorized the < Increase projectile > spell.
It was similar to < projectile refraction >, but it was a slightly more difficult fantasy magic.
It is to put an illusion on the staff that increases the number of projectiles cast by the wizard.
“Water!”
Lee Han swayed the trajectory of the water bead lightly at Professor Kirmin.
As it was a place to practice fantasy magic, there was no need for power enough to defeat the opponent.
Professor Kirmin said as if he was dumbfounded.
“You pretended to cast illusion magic, but now you really blow all of them?”
“no.”
“No, what is it?”
The professor waved his cane. Then the flying water beads all at once split and crashed.
All of them were water with substance.
It was a great trick to give it a high score. Of course, not everyone can waste magic like that…
‘It must be fake, right?’
Lee Han focused his attention on Professor Kirmin in front of him.
It wasn’t just speculation from experience, but in fact, a very slight awkwardness was felt in Professor Kirmin’s appearance.
It wasn’t that the appearance was awkward.
That subtle difference that is inevitably felt when magic is cast.
Ordinary wizards couldn’t feel it, but people like Lee Han, who had an extremely sensitive sense of magic, could feel it.
“hmm.”
Lee Han suddenly stabbed the White Tiger Tower student who was competing with Ratford in fantasy magic next to him with his staff.
“evil!”
“sorry. I thought you were a professor.”
“That means…”
“Wardanaz. It’s great that you noticed, but it doesn’t work that way.”
Professor Kirmin hit the floor with his cane as if he couldn’t do that.
If a fantasy magician said that there was something hiding in the village, wouldn’t it be possible to attack all the villagers?
Lee Han glanced around again.
A wide-area attack as it is unknown how and in which space the professor will be hiding…
“Wardanaz. It can’t even be wide-area magic.”
Lee Han looked annoyed at the professor in front of him.
“If that doesn’t work, what am I supposed to do?”
“Isn’t it the fantasy magic lecture, Professor Baegrek’s lecture?”
It was definitely right.
Lee Han briefly reflected and threw a water bead at the professor. The professor defended lightly.
‘I need to find a sense of incongruity.’
A disparate flow that is distinctly different from the normal flow of magical power felt in nature.
Usually, such a flow was a clue to the wizard’s magic.
The problem is that other students’ magic continues to explode in this classroom.
As much as magic flew from all sides, the flow of magic was very erratic.
“Park Moo, spread.”
“!”
Professor Kirmin looked slightly moved when he saw Lee Han’s < Ogonin's Fog >.
I never thought that a mere 1st year student would be able to cast the 3rd circle magic and Ogonin’s arcane magic so neatly.
Even if he broke the magic circle for lectures with magic every time or smashed materials with magic, there were few students as wonderful as Wodanaz.
‘You have to hide me first.’
Lee Han acted faithfully as instructed.
No matter how much Lee Han played an offensive role, if Professor Kirmin continued to observe Lee Han, he would be at a disadvantage.
I had to shake my sight for a while somehow.
“Cloak, swallow me…”
‘You’re good at it?’
Professor Kirmin admired Lee Han’s figure as it became completely transparent in the shimmering fog.
He wasn’t a student with the title of < Boladi's only disciple > for nothing.
I never thought I’d become so proficient just because I’ve taught you how many times I’ve mastered this fantasy magic showdown.
‘okay. You have to know how to hide yourself even when attacking.’
Charleureuk!
Suddenly the windows were closed and the curtains drawn.
The students who were brandishing canes and kicking opponents’ shins also stopped and looked away.
Professor Kirmin involuntarily shouted at the ominous feeling.
“Hey wait…!”
Clink!!
Lee Han mercilessly smashed the magic lamp on the classroom ceiling.
The artifact that emitted light shattered with a loud sound, and the classroom went dark in an instant.
At the same time, the professor felt the desire to praise and the desire to summon Professor Baegrek and say, ‘Make the kid a little weird’.
‘He’s destroying that!’
But it wasn’t completely dark inside.
The afterglow of the light penetrating the curtain and the magic emitted by the students remained.
“Darkness, flow out!”
“…!”
Professor Kirmin laughed at the tenacious will to mobilize even the rare dark element to break the blackout.
The privilege of the attacking side was being enjoyed very well.
“So Wodanaz? Calling the darkness is a good idea, but finding the main body seems to be more disadvantageous.”
“no. I found it.”
Yihan stopped behind Ymirg, released the invisibility magic, and hit the back lightly with his staff.
Then Ymirg’s appearance changed into Professor Kirmin. As the classroom lit up, the students next to him screamed in surprise.
“How did you find it?”
Professor Kirmin asked really unexpectedly.
Wodanaz was on the right track, but he was still a long way from finding the right answer.
But how?
“After casting the invisibility magic, I also cast < Ogonin's Emotion Recognition > magic.”
“ah. < Aware of Ogonin-sama's feelings >? A really clever choice?”
“Uh… yes. Ogonin.”
Lee Han glanced at him and added Nim.
Apparently, in front of Professor Kirmin, he should be more careful about his name.
The reason I wrote < Ogonin's Recognition of Emotions > was simple.
It was thought that if Professor Kirmin was hiding as one of the students, he would show calm emotions unlike the other students.
The professor clapped his hands as if he was very satisfied with Lee Han’s idea.
“okay. Did you notice? Did you notice when you saw the magic bounce off? Although Ymirg’s magic resistance is strong, it’s not enough to block all of these types of emotion recognition magic.”
“Uh… the magic itself succeeded.”
Professor Kirmin was taken aback when he heard Lee Han’s words.
Since it wasn’t a combat situation, Professor Kirmin didn’t walk around the school with a lot of defensive magic.
Still, since I’m basically an illusion wizard, there are magic that I habitually hang for security…
You just saw through it?
“I really want it. There’s a reason Professor Bagreck likes you so much.”
“yes???”
Lee Han has been straight for the first time in a long time.
* * *
Professor Verdus, who originally called Lee Han when he was bored, drastically reduced his calling, but Lee Han didn’t care at all.
It was because I knew very well that the moment I went to visit him and said, ‘Professor, are you okay?’, Professor Verdus was like falling deep into a swamp.
I just enjoy the peace created by my senior who is still in the dungeon.
‘thank you. Senior Kettle.’
However, he could not avoid Professor Verdus forever.
Typically, this was the case during lectures.
“Wardanaz. It’s a class on enchantment magic, so why are your expressions so bright?”
Anrago did not understand.
Wasn’t Wodanaz the one who should have gone to pick up the professor!
I feel like I get a stomach ache just thinking about Angrago…
“Ah. It’s fun to think that I can only meet the professor during lectures.”
“……”
Giselle, who was passing by, looked at Lee Han as if she were crazy.
“professor?”
Before the lecture began, Lee Han knocked on the door of Professor Verdus’ workshop.
Professor Verdus gestured at the door from afar and told me to come in.
“oh. Were you working? Shall we come next time?”
“no. I have to go to the lecture. If you don’t go, they’ll kill you.”
Lee Han did not ask, ‘Who are you?’ I just smiled softly.
Professor Verdus grumbled and finished the work quickly.
“I’m so annoyed! What kind of madman is destroying the magic lamp in the classroom?”
“……”
