Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 568
Chapter 568
“Are you okay?”
Professor Voladi stared at Lee Han, who seemed possessed.
Lee Han coughed and waved his hand.
“yes. it’s okay.”
“So, the change in the form of the elemental lightning.”
“Hehehehehehehehe.”
He coughed again, but Professor Voladi waited calmly.
“…yes.”
Lee Han replied in a resigned voice.
“I heard that it is still unstable.”
“yes.”
“The lightning element has a high level of difficulty in changing shape, so keep practicing.”
“yes.”
Lee Han kept his nerves while keenly observing when Professor Boladi would attack.
Gradually, it was time to say, ‘I’ll help you practice, die’.
However, Professor Voladi said nothing more after that.
Instead, he opened the baby basilisk’s mouth and shoved the green meat back into it.
“?”
On the contrary, Lee Han was embarrassed.
‘what? Is it a trick?’
Professor Boladi, who was feeding him, felt Lee Han’s gaze and turned his head.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“I thought the professor would attack you.”
“Why?”
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
Are you saying that’s a question?
‘Isn’t it rare that I haven’t been attacked during lectures?’
To be honest, there was no sense of incongruity even if the name of the lecture was changed to < Professor Voladi's Cruel Assault >.
“Didn’t you often attack me for helping me practice that magic?”
“ah.”
Professor Voladi nodded slightly as if he understood what Lee Han was saying.
Then he looked anxiously at the over-impatient disciple.
“You are in too much of a hurry.”
“yes?”
“The changing form of the elemental lightning can be dangerous if practiced in that way.”
“yes???”
To the strangely surprised student, Professor Voladi explained in detail.
The elemental water wasn’t too dangerous even if it failed to change shape and lost control.
As for water, if it is not smelted sharply, the degree of danger is greatly reduced.
On the other hand, the lightning element had a much higher risk if it failed while trying to change its form.
I knew very well that this Wardanaj family boy would display several times his normal abilities when in a dangerous situation, but even taking that into account, it was dangerous for the elemental lightning to practice shape-shifting in such a way.
When the explanation was over, Lee Han’s mouth fell open.
“Is it difficult to understand?”
“no! understand!”
Lee Han swallowed his astonishment inwardly.
Until now, I thought that Professor Voladi had adhered to the teaching style of ‘If you don’t want to die, you’ll learn it’ without much thought, but in fact, he had his own thoughts.
It was as if a natural disaster like a typhoon or earthquake came and said, ‘Actually, I had an idea’.
‘Good luck… is it?’
It was a complicated feeling, but it was fortunate that the attack didn’t come flying.
Because I had to prepare for the final exams, and I went back in tatters, and the loss was too great.
“I’ve said it many times, but don’t be in a hurry.”
“……”
Fortunately, apart from that, I couldn’t help but get angry.
Lee Han suspected that all of this was actually Professor Voladi’s ploy to get him to attack him.
-■■■■! ■■■■!
‘hmm. Let’s calm down.’
I came to my senses when I saw a baby basilisk eating a piece of meat with a plaintive scream.
Lee Han decided to be genuinely grateful for the good fortune of saving his life today.
“yes. I won’t be in a hurry Currently, it is possible to fix it in the form of a spear to a cane, but other forms are difficult.”
“I guess so.”
In fact, it was very difficult to freely change an element that is relatively easy to change shape, such as the element water.
Even more so if it’s someone who has just learned magic.
As such, other wizards did not obsess too much about it. Even among Einrogard’s seniors, there were only a few people who saw the end of such a form change and passed it on.
For example, if it’s a fire element, it won’t be much of a problem to cast magic if you learn only three arrows, spears, and barriers.
If something happens that requires a different form, just respond with a new magic.
Lee Han wouldn’t have gone this far if it weren’t for Professor Voladi, who places great importance on basic skills in magic combat.
“I was lucky to learn the spear shape first. It is a highly versatile form. Next, try to approach it with the feeling of splitting a window.”
“Are you sharing it like a dagger?”
“okay. It could be a dagger or a bead shape. Let’s share it in a familiar format. That would be to your advantage.”
After summoning a spear of lightning to his staff, Lee Han changed its form.
The tip of the spear splintered and was fixed in midair. Just as he changed the shape of the water ball, Lee Han focused on changing the shape of the lightning as well.
‘It’s more like a stone than a marble.’
Unlike the water element, which remained smooth in the form of a sphere, the lightning element bounced in all directions even when it took the form of a ball, resulting in a bumpy shape.
Dismissed!
After a brief loss of concentration, the elemental lightning was fired out of control.
The baby basilisk freaked out when lightning flew in front of him.
“To practice.”
After Professor Voladi finished feeding the baby basilisk, he grabbed the back of his neck and stood up.
The immature snake king struggled and resisted, but could not escape.
Tak-
“Turn around.”
-……
The basilisk looked at Professor Voladi as if it were absurd when he saw the toys in front of him.
Toys and race tracks placed in the center of the classroom.
Could it be that you mean to turn here now?
The baby basilisk desperately shook its head.
It was unfair to force myself to eat health food earlier, but this was really a matter of pride.
How could a basilisk, a ferocious beast that could not be tamed and the king of lofty snakes, play by leaping over such a pet or stone-like toy?
Professor Voladi patiently explained to the young beast, who was speechless.
“Your growth may be due to lack of exercise.”
-……
The baby basilisk hissed and protested, but Professor Voladi didn’t listen.
He picked up a toy stick and started stabbing the basilisk from behind until it moved.
The baby basilisk had no choice but to turn the course enduring anger and humiliation.
“Don’t stop.”
Lee Han, who was concentrating on the lightning magic next to him, looked at him curiously as Professor Voladi and the baby basilisk circled around the center of the classroom as if they were taking a walk.
Did the basilisk like a walk like that?
“Does the original Basilisk like to walk?”
“Yes. According to Professor Lightning Walk, it’s a monster with a fairly wide range.”
“Oh, I didn’t make you exercise…”
“You can do it from now on.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Lee Han nodded and reflected.
I thought the baby basilisk liked being coiled up all the time and didn’t like going for walks, but seeing that it was crawling so fast now, it seems that it actually likes to move.
I felt apologetic thinking that the owner made me endure it because of the circumstances.
‘I’ll have to take her for a walk from now on.’
While Lee Han thought so, Professor Voladi mercilessly stabbed the basilisk with a toy stick.
“Speed up. more. more. more. more. more. more. more.”
The baby basilisk hissed wildly and circled and circled and circled the course.
Jumping through loops, climbing toy stairs, swimming through sections filled with coarse sand…
By the time he was exhausted, Professor Voladi stopped poking with his toy stick.
Instead, he started waving his stick in front of the basilisk.
It was to strengthen the monster’s ferocity.
“Ask.”
-……
“Looks like the walk isn’t enough yet.”
As Professor Voladi tried to get back up, the baby basilisk frantically bit the stick.
Only then did Professor Boladi feel satisfied.
If you keep training like this, one day this baby basilisk will be useful.
“really. professor. Did you hear that a bloodsucking monster appeared?”
Professor Voladi stopped his wand and sighed lightly.
“For final exams, giants are enough. Please stop being greedy.”
“…No, I just said it!”
“is it?”
The professor replied in a voice of ‘I don’t believe it, but since you say so, I’ll pretend to believe it’.
Lee Han lost his reason for a moment and almost went crazy.
“Do you have any advice? …it’s absolutely not what I’m asking to get hold of. I’m asking in case a bloodsucking monster attacks you.”
“You were almost killed by the death knights, but you reappear near the school?”
“…could appear.”
“Right.”
Professor Boladi looked at the student with an expressionless expression and continued talking.
“It’s a typical regeneration-specialized monster.”
A lot of monsters popped up in Einrogard from unpredictable places, and it was impossible even for a professor to know the names of all these monsters.
However, despite not having met Professor Voladi in person, he only listened to the stories of the Death Knights and figured out what type of monster the enemy was.
No matter how unusual and rare a monster was, it could not exist by violating the laws of nature itself.
If you learn the habits, characteristics, and laws of monsters, you will be able to understand them even if you encounter unusual monsters.
First of all, the fact that he succeeded in regenerating even after being hit by the Death Knights’ attacks meant that he had a regenerative power so strong that it was difficult for quite a few monsters to imitate.
“This regeneration is a powerful ability, but it comes at a price.”
Lee Han nodded as if he knew what he was talking about.
So was the magic.
The stronger the magic, the longer the casting time and the more complex reagents are required, and the regenerative ability of the vampire monster was the same.
“I keep looking for blood, but it might be the fuel for regeneration.”
“It is very likely. Blood is also a powerful reagent in terms of shamanism.”
Of course, that alone wasn’t enough.
Defense or other abilities had to be sacrificed to get that kind of regenerative power. Besides, wasn’t the guy’s speed beyond imagination?
“Probably hundreds of years.”
There were quite a few monsters with blood-sucking abilities, but the level of ability the blood-sucking monster showed yesterday was a skill that only monsters that were at least hundreds of years old could show.
“Are there monsters that are over hundreds of years old roaming Einrogard?”
“There are also monsters that are over a thousand years old.”
Lee Han was about to ask, ‘Are you the principal?’ but hesitated. It didn’t seem like he was saying that.
“It must have been sealed somewhere underground or hibernate.”
‘It’s fear itself.’
It was scary that monsters that had been around for a lot longer than vampire monsters might be stuck like junk somewhere in the basement.
Whether this is a magic school or the Great Labyrinth of Hell…
Dismissal!
When the lightning finally took shape, Lee Han was delighted.
Even if it’s not perfect, it’s somehow made a new shape.
“really. professor. One seems to have been successful. I took the shape of the object as the nucleus, but still…”
“Is it a dagger?”
According to Lee Han, Professor Voladi wondered if he had created a new form of elemental lightning using a dagger or a bead as a nucleus.
The dagger is in the form of a fragment of a spear.
Beads are the form Lee Han has been working with the most lately.
Both were easy and familiar forms.
Compared to that, if it’s a difficult form, it’s an armor or shield. and a cloak.
As much as the lightning element was not suitable for defense, it did not fit well with armor or shields that expanded and maintained the area.
Furthermore, the cloak had the property of gently fluttering there, so it belonged to a much more difficult axis.
“no.”
“marble?”
“I fixed it somehow in the form of a cape. Try it.”
With a proud expression, Lee Han pointed at the cape, which sparked a gripping weave.
Upon seeing this, Professor Voladi seriously pondered whether he had underestimated his student too much.
