Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 576
Chapter 576
Monday.
Students left the door of the dormitory tower with emotions such as tension, frustration, fear, regret, and expectation of liberation.
“Are you looking forward to Nilia?”
“oh my god. How confident are you…”
“Oh no. I was looking forward to it because the semester is over at the end of this week!”
“There is nothing to be humble about. Nilia. We didn’t study, so you can do it confidently.”
“Because I’m not confident either…!”
As if to bless the last week, thick snow began to fall from the sky.
“It is snow.”
“I think it’s pretty because I’m dressed warmly.”
“that’s right. I think you can go lower.”
Students were more relaxed.
If you were wearing an old, tattered coat, the cold wind would permeate inside even if you cast all sorts of magic.
The students, wearing thick cloths scraped from outside and putting a hot fever potion in their coat pockets, stood firm against the thick snow.
“Don’t be crazy.”
Nilia was straight.
Staying up all night in the coldest part of the northern mountains made me realize how terrifying snow can be.
What a big deal!
“Everyone pray that the snow doesn’t get worse by next week. okay?”
“I’m sorry. Nilia.”
“We did something wrong…”
The Black Turtle Tower friends sulked as they looked at Nilia.
It was just that her white eyes were pretty, but Nilia was too strict.

Lee Han was the first to arrive at Professor Garcia’s classroom.
I woke up early in the morning to stop by the stable to soothe the pouting Ponrig and return to the dormitory to prepare a meal.
“hello. professor.”
“Student Lee Han. Why are you here so early?”
Professor Garcia, who was checking the final exam prepared in the classroom for the last time, was puzzled when he saw Lee Han.
“I want to help.”
“I was considerate to rest, but what if I come early?”
Professor Garcia waved his hand and told me to sit aside.
“I am preparing for another exam. After all, preparations for final exams are over.”
“yes. If you still need help, call me.”
Lee Han glanced at the exam hall as he walked.
Professor Garcia’s final exam was a test to check all the life magic learned during this semester.
Go into the deep water with < Underwater Breathing >, detoxify with < Low Detoxification >, find your way underwater with < Visual Amplification >…
Professor Garcia showed it to you last week, so Lee Han already knew it.
By the way…
“Professor. Shouldn’t the water be darker?”
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
I must have said to Professor Garcia, ‘I think the water should be darker’?
“ah. That’s it. Looking at it, I thought it would be okay to do just that.”
“Is that so…?”
‘I think it should be darker.’
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like it should be darker, but Lee Han understood it and moved on.
If Professor Garcia says that, there must be a reason.
“really. professor. Were the fake passages added?”
“no. I don’t think you have to do that.”
“oh. Wouldn’t it be nice to add fake aisles?”
Dissolving the dark element in the water was blocked, but Lee Han thought the fake passage was worth adding.
It will surely be a more exciting test.
“It’s getting too difficult.”
“Is that so…”
Lee Han got a little nervous.
It was the same last time as well, but Professor Garcia did such a favor, but Lee Han couldn’t reciprocate at all.
‘I have to find an improvement somehow.’
“Are you poisonous…?”
“Student Lee Han. I am sitting and studying something else.”
“Yes…”
Lee Han sat down regretfully.
As I was reading a book to study, Professor Garcia asked if I had an idea.
“Student Lee Han.”
“oh. Can I work?”
“It’s not like that. Are you raising a giant?”
“?!?!”
* * *
“Is it weird that I’m the only one sitting over there with Lee Han?”
As Gainando prepared to take the exam, he asked his friends.
From the time he entered the classroom, Lee Han had been sitting on the chair next to the professor and reading a book from another school.
“Isn’t that strange?”
“You must have seen it first.”
“Or you just passed. look in front Guinan Island. Did you breathe underwater properly? Don’t spit out the water like last time.”
“I made one mistake!”
“Once becomes twice, and twice becomes three times. ruler. Go in.”
with a plop!
To take the test, the students went into the water one by one.
Lee Han, who had been writing < About the water octane of Wardanaz and its basic principles > as much as possible, paused for a moment.
Then, after finishing the test, he approached Nilia, who was coming up.
“Huh huh. I was almost fooled…!”
“Nilia. Nilia.”
Nilia was happy to see Lee Han approaching.
Professor Garcia’s final exam was more tiring than expected and consumed his concentration.
I couldn’t let go of the tension while I was looking for the correct answer without being caught in a trap in the dark water.
In the midst of such exhaustion and exhaustion, seeing a friend who was waiting for me approaching to cheer me on, I wondered if this was friendship.
“ruler. drink.”
“…thank you.”
Nylia was slightly moved and tempered her usual sharp demeanor.
Lee Han asked Nilia who was sipping hot coffee.
“Isn’t it too bright underwater?”
“what? What are you talking about?”
“When I went inside, the passage was too easy to find…”
“No. It was dark and hard to find.”
Nilia shuddered and said.
The water was colder than expected, and it took a lot of energy.
“really? Didn’t you cast the spell wrong?”
“…Wodanaz you… what are you doing?”
Nilia looked at Lee Han with a very suspicious look.
I was moved at first, but as I continued to listen, it seemed that there was some sinister intention behind this conversation.
“no. nothing. ruler. Eat this too.”
“I’m trying to soothe myself with a snack now…”
“Yes. It snowed a lot today. Is the Shadow Patrol still active on days like this?”
“It’s like that.”
“and. It’s really great.”
“It’s not even that great. Basic. People in the northern mountains are used to snow. I’ve had this happen before. I was locked in a small hut used by mountain keepers, and there was a blizzard for a week. I can’t go out…”
Lee Han nodded and glanced to the side.
Another friend was coming out.
“Yoner. Yoner. ruler. Coffee here.”
“huh? Thank you…”
“Isn’t the water too bright?”
“……”
Yoner, who had been sipping his coffee while pondering for a while, stared at Lee Han to see what was on his mind, then asked in reverse.
“Have you ever asked Professor Garcia to increase the difficulty level of the exam?”
“…?!”
Lee Han looked at his friend in surprise.
Yoner shook his head.

Alchemy final exam.
Professor Wooreeul was shocked to see the students entering with reagent bundles.
“Among the students I have taught, I am the first one to take a test as easily as you.”
“thank you. professor.”
“It’s not a compliment.”
“Then no thanks. professor.”
Professor Thunderwalk hung the ratford upside down and continued talking.
“Originally, exams start with gathering materials, but to prepare in advance like this…”
“Preparation is also a skill, isn’t it?”
“It’s because of you, Wardanaz!”
Professor Thunderwalk was dumbfounded by the brazen student’s attitude.
The guy who took all his friends and went outside and swept all the reagents!
“okay. Preparation is also a skill. I won’t say anything. The principal doesn’t like going out, I don’t really care if you guys go out.”
“Then drop me off…”
Professor Thunderwalker dumped Ratford.
Then he moved the chalk and wrote on the blackboard.
Potion of resistance
‘It’s done!’
Lee Han was relieved when he saw the name of the potion.
Students who prepared a lot for the exam also showed similar reactions to Lee Han.
< Resistance Potion > was one of the topics that I thought would come out as a final exam.
“What is the resistance potion?”
“……”
Of course, not all of my friends studied much.
Even though Professor Wooregeol clearly said it during the lecture, he looked at the student asking the question pathetically and explained.
“As I have said several times, this potion of resistance must work in a wide range. Sometimes clumsy alchemists create potions that only work on one side and make mistakes, but you guys shouldn’t make that mistake.”
The potion of resistance was a potion that increased the endurance of the drinker, or something similar to defense.
The reason for not calling it a defense potion was simple. It was a slightly different concept from defense.
It was the potion of defense that made the skin harden and bounced off arrows, but the potion of resistance that reduced the pain even when the arrows with powerful impact shook the inside of the body.
Occasionally, unusual monsters used to give damage by contacting sight or hearing.
These were monsters that made you vomit blood just by looking at them or made you faint just by hearing their cries.
Even if they didn’t go there, fantasy wizards would contact the other person’s five senses and cast spells.
In order to prepare for situations like this, something like a resistance potion was essential.
‘Sprinkle the stone ground with a bronze mortar three times, change the direction twice with a staff, and when the water boils to a golden color…’ Lee Han and other excellent
alchemy students continued their work without hesitation.
Professor Wooregeol watched the scene and asked.
“I think you forgot to pre-weigh?”
At that, the students took out the new balance scale artifact they had bought outside.
Professor Woorewalker frowned at the sight of the scale weighing by moving the weight on its own.
‘I think I know why the principal hates going out so much!’
Seeing the freshmen easily make potions with artifacts made me want to find fault with them.
“joy. The potion of resistance is not so easy. Obviously in such a hurry…”
Bang!
A spark erupted over Nylia’s pot.
It was only then that Professor Wooregeol relaxed his expression and was pleased.
“ruler. It goes like this. It would be really hard to bring that back to life.”
But Nilia didn’t care and emptied the contents of the pot.
Then, he took new reagents out of the reagent bag and went to work right away.
Even if I failed a few more times in the future, there was not much damage because there was a generous amount.
“……”
Professor Wooregeol decided that next year’s freshman year final exams should be made with reagents that could never be found on the market.
“Wardanaz. I want to check the effect. Is there any magic you would recommend?”
Bartrek spoke to Lee Han.
As much as he excelled in alchemy, it seemed he wanted to check the potions of the other White Tiger Tower students instead.
“Originally, you have to hit it with magic after drinking it, but if you can’t do that, you should do it in a way that stimulates your five senses.”
Loud noises, strong smells, and pungent tastes could tell if a potion had worked.
Hearing those words, Bartrek was lost in thought.
“Stimulus…”
“Here are the onions. How about this?”
“It might be a good idea.”
“Did you drink the potion? Try it.”
Lee Han fed Bartrek an onion.
Bartrek frowned.
“You made this wrong.”
“Oops. Try the next potion. did you drink ruler. here.”
“Ugh.”
Bartrek drank the potion, ate the onion, drank the next potion, and ate the onion.
Tears welled up in Bartrek’s eyes.
“Bartrek! I made it again!”
“… I think this worked well. Onions are not spicy.”
“really?!”
Lee Han, who was watching from the side, tilted his head and said.
“It’s not? The color is dull.”
“…Thank you very much. Wodanaz. I almost made a mistake.”
“With something like this.”
Lee Han cheered for Bartrek.
It was very commendable to see him making all his potions and helping his fellow tower friends.
“Wardanaz. When you’re done, go.”
“I tried to increase the purity by filtering more.”
“It’s perfect. good.”
“Have you not seen it?”
“It will be perfect. Get out of the way. That’s perfect.”
“No, but I worked hard on it…”
Professor Thunderwalk kicked the soggy Lee Han out of the classroom with the ladle he was holding.
