Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 558
Chapter 558
“……”
Hodlong silently wiped the coffee off his face with a handkerchief.
Iunrade, who spat the coffee he had been drinking in his superior’s face, had nothing to say even with ten mouths.
“sorry! sorry!!”
“done. it’s okay.”
After wiping off the coffee, Hodlong said with doubtful eyes.
“Did Gonadaltes do it for you?”
“…no!!”
Having misunderstood that she would be strangled by the skeleton headmaster, Iunrade was frightened and denied it.
“Why would you do that!?”
“There are many reasons. Sprinkle coffee, make a mess, then steal my bag. Or do you attack while you are away for a while?”
Hodlong was a person who had a deep-rooted distrust of the magicians of Einrogard.
In fact, not only Hodrong, but most of the imperial officials didn’t trust the magicians of Einrogard.
In the past, there had been some people who had visited Einrogard and got caught up in an unfortunate magical accident.
Prince Gonadaltes pleaded with tears that it was really a coincidence, but the officials did not believe it.
“Or maybe emotional retaliation.”
“no! Not really!”
“i get it. don’t let me believe you But stay away.”
Hodron blatantly doubted his subordinate and gestured. Lee Unrade expressed regret with his whole body and stepped back.
“ruler. Then let’s go.”
“yes? Where are you talking about?”
“You must have just heard? You said that the Einrogard student caught the wanted criminal.”
“uh.”
It was only then that Unrade Lee remembered why he had spurted coffee.
It was because I heard so much nonsense.
‘It’s a big deal!’
People in the city shouted, ‘Einrogard student caught the wanted criminal!’, but Iunrade was not fooled.
Wasn’t Iunlade also from Ein Lorgard in the first place?
It was clear that people were probably mistaken.
At first, it was a cry of ‘Einrogard student is a wanted criminal!’, but as it spread from side to side, ‘What? It was changed to ‘Ein Rogard student caught a wanted criminal?’.
“Ho Hodron. Maybe it’s bullshit? The city is originally full of bullshit. Don’t waste your time on this!”
Unrade Lee stopped her superior and lamented inwardly, wondering why she had to go this far.
In fact, if juniors take care of themselves, there is no problem!
“Are you saying that now? follow me I need to see what happened.”
“Oh no… there are a lot of people and there might be pickpockets…”
Hodlong seemed to gain more confidence after seeing Iunrade’s hesitant attitude.
What is Ein Rogard’s student doing? I will check it out with my own two eyes!
* * *
“You son of a bitch who peels off this skin and hangs it on a pole on the mountain peak where you salt it so that the crows can rip your flesh off you, you son of a bitch worse than a piece of broken rusty sword!”
“Even in this punishment room, you son of a bitch, Professor Verdus will be locked in the deepest basement and turned into stone that will rot forever, so you can’t even blink your eyes!”
The captured Gardam was in tears and struggled with his hands. It was a struggle to escape by crawling on the floor.
He went through a series of battles and survived the fierce Incartan Rebellion, but all those experiences became useless in front of the fearsome existence of a real wizard.
The two wizards cursed and pulled the fallen Gardam.
“If you try to escape just one more time, I’ll drill a few more air holes.”
“To raise something that should have been surrendered like this. Are you still human? You have no idea how many students are suffering because of you!”
‘I don’t know, bastards!’
At the wizards talking incomprehensible things, Gardam let out a silent clamor.
I thought I had succeeded in escaping just when I broke through the main gate and consumed all the magic items to block the road.
– Get out of the way! Move!
Gardam ran, pushing and kicking the citizens who filled the main street.
The wall of these people will make sure that the chasing wizards don’t use their magic.
– A basilisk has appeared Citizens of Granden! I’m bound and have to move outside, so please get out of the way!
However, the wizards chased people as well as Gardam, moving them aside.
Besides, he did not hesitate to use magic. The magic flew fiercely.
-What if the wordanaz misses?
– It doesn’t miss! Moradi. I’ll cast a strengthening spell on you, so get ready!
-Okay, side effect for a second…
Although he boasted that he wouldn’t be pushed back if he was persistent, the two wizards relentlessly pursued Gardam, and pursued him again and again.
If you knock over a pile of fruit crates and block the way, you break the crate, if you fall into an alleyway, call a summoned beast to chase it, if you jump into a canal, blow cold magic until you freeze to death… Gardam himself thought he could escape this far
. I couldn’t. It was the power of fear.
However, the will alone has its limits.
As his strength faded and his mana dissipated, the fatigue accumulated in his muscles rushed.
oops!
Gardam was bitten on the ankle by the leopard pet who jumped out from the side.
At the same time, Giselle cut off Gardam’s arms. The weapon he was holding flew away.
Lee Han, who was behind, fired a water octane and accurately fractured both of Gardam’s legs.
“Hang Hang…”
“You son of a bitch who is worse than a broken, rusty sword that will peel off this skin and hang it on a pole on the peak of the mountain to be salted so that the crows can rip your flesh off!”
“Even in this punishment room, you son of a bitch, Professor Verdus will be locked in the deepest basement and turned into stone that will rot forever, so you can’t even blink your eyes!”
Realizing that there was nowhere else to run, he tried to declare surrender, but the wizards who came this far weren’t usually angry.
Gardam shouted to the citizens.
“help me! ask for help! Wizards fly…”
Puck!
Lee Han cast silence magic on Gardam’s stomach and quickly explained to the people who came to watch.
“no. Citizens! This is a criminal with a bounty!”
“Oh that guy!! Isn’t that Gardam the ‘bleeding hand’!?”
“That’s right!”
‘phew.’
Lee Han and Giselle exchanged glances with each other and let out a sigh of relief.
If I didn’t care, I could have been arrested by the city guards and went through an uncomfortable situation, but it was solved well because there was someone who knew Gardam’s face.
“But who are you?”
“Uh… We are adventurers belonging to the Adventurer’s Guild in Grand City. yes? Gubon?”
“…That’s right.”
‘Who is Gubon?’
Giselle did not understand the English language, but she guessed it right away.
There was nothing good about being caught here as a student.
“uh? Aren’t you the wizard of Ein Rogard?”
“Right right! That shabby, unsightly frugal outfit. Even a stick! These are the magicians of Einrogard!”
“How could a wandering wizard use magic like that?”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Giselle exchanged glances in amazement.
Even though he covered all the patterns of Einrogard with his coat, he was suspected of being shabby and unattractive.
‘What do we do?’
‘Turn over. Wodanaz. Turn it over!’
“…what a big deal? You’re an Einrogard wizard! no!”
Lee Han shouted loudly.
“We are adventurers who live on the ground and make the sky our blanket…”
“You look like nobles?”
“Aren’t you a noble?”
Seeing Lee Han’s face, the people in the city asked with very suspicious eyes.
Lee Han burst into anger.
“Because it is not! Sounds like a big day!”
“Ha, but the face…”
“Everyone, don’t judge people by their faces! This Mo… Gubon is a swordsman who looks pretty on the outside, but is evil and sinister on the inside, and can cut anyone who doesn’t listen with a single sword!”
‘This bastard…’
Giselle cried, but couldn’t ruin the mood. He kept his mouth shut and nodded while glaring at people.
“oh. Wizard!”
Adventurer Gu Bon was passing by with his friends and greeted them when he saw a familiar face.
“What are you doing? Nice to meet you!”
“Do you know each other?”
“yes. That person is Mr. Wodanaz, the magician of Ein Lorgard.”
“……”
“……”
Giselle glared at Lee Han as if to kill her.
* * *
“…not anyway.”
“Yeah… what.”
“All right.”
The gathered people hesitantly nodded their heads.
His expression was roughly like, ‘They’re magicians from Einrogard, but they don’t seem to want to reveal it, so let’s respect them.’
Lee Han and Giselle became sullen.
‘It’s ruined.’
‘ruined.’
I felt that the time left until the punishment room was rapidly decreasing.
Lee Han glared at the fallen Gardam as if to kill him. Gardam freaked out and hit his head on the ground.
“Will you turn this man over to the city guards?”
“If it’s the wizard’s request, I’ll do it no matter what. But are you really okay? It’s what the wizard did…”
“…It’s done.”
Lee Han waved his hand and smiled sadly.
The smile seemed to say that worldly fame and riches were insignificant in the wizard’s way.
The people present were deeply moved as if it were their own work.
“Moradi. Let’s go buy something.”
“…OK. I can’t help it.”
Giselle sighed lightly and accepted reality.
Now that things have turned out like this, swearing at Wardanaj won’t change anything.
I have no choice but to be prepared to get caught, buy something and go back as soon as possible.
“for a moment. Wodanaz. I didn’t stop by the mansion, but the money?”
“Could you take the silver coin I deposited with you the other day? thank you.”
Lee Han returned the silver coin he had left with Gu Bon.
“I left the next silver coin at the wand maker, so let’s go there and spend it.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Why are you cursing?”
* * *
Arriving late, Hodlong ordered Iunrade to stay still and then grasped the situation.
The dignified citizens of Granden provided highly credible testimonies to Hodron who worked for the empire.
“So, when the mercenary threatens to free the basilisk, the wizard takes it and holds it tightly in his hand?”
“her!”
“No matter how relentlessly they pursued them, even the enemies of the family would not have pursued them like that.”
“Why do you think you pursued it like that?”
“Isn’t there only one! When he saw that mercenary full of vices smashing and knocking over citizens’ goods, he was enraged!”
“her!”
Hodlong exclaimed in disbelief and checked the testimony several times, but a similar story came out.
“So you’re a first-year student?”
“That’s right.”
Gu Bon answered with sincerity.
Then, the dignified citizens of Granden nearby looked at Gu Bon unreliably.
“Aren’t you mistaken?”
“You know what adventurers brag about.”
“It didn’t look like a freshman to me. I know a little bit about magic, but I feel like a third grader.”
“Oh no… First grade is right! I mean, we worked together!”
Gubon shouted in anger, but it had the opposite effect on the citizens of Granden.
“under!”
“I guess so.”
“Have I ever told you that I actually had an audience with the Emperor when I was young? That big and beautiful…”
“Yes, yes. I’m actually the bastard of the count’s family.”
“……”
Gubon trembled in shame.
What was even more unfair was that if another adventurer had said something like that, he would have been treated like ‘what kind of crazy bullshit are you talking about’.
Whether or not the people in the city did it, Hodlong recorded all the testimony and turned his gaze to his subordinates in admiration.
“Maybe there is hope for Einrogard as well.”
“under! How could that be!”
“……”
“Sorry. Reflexively…I’m really sorry.”
