Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 651
Episode 651
“Wow, what a friendly town!”
Priestess Siana admired.
The other priests of the church were surprised as if they agreed.
It was rare for villagers to care so much for travelers from outside.
“I think it would be great to build a temple here.”
“I agree. Priestess Cyana.”
It is said that wherever you are, you must spread your faith equally, but if the village is a warm and kind place, you will be a little more happy.
-The thief ran away!!
-catch!! If you can’t catch it within today, someone from the family will come!!
– These people! Everyone come out quickly! The priests are out! You have to catch them before they come in! Everyone in the empire wants to be known as a town you shouldn’t travel to!
– Why today! There are many peaceful days too!
“…??!”

For juniors who continue to complain about not being able to do it, Alcicle started explaining the basics of time magic.
It wasn’t his specialty, but as it was a notorious magic, he knew it to some extent.
“Wardanaz. Any magic starts with detection or recognition.”
“yes.”
Lee Han nodded.
New wizards always dreamed of dropping meteorites with a single finger and stunning professors or even enemies with a single whistle, but in fact, that was a high level that even the most talented wizards could not achieve.
Magic always started with something ordinary and basic.
If it’s elemental magic, it starts with feeling the elements.
If it’s illusion magic, it starts with seeing illusions.
If it’s healing magic, from recognizing the disease.
Likewise, space-time magic began with detection or recognition.
“< Time Perception > or < Spatial Awareness >. In fact, there are cases where even magicians who do not explore space-time magic are quite familiar with these two magics. It’s useful.”
“you’re right. I am also learning < spatial awareness >.”
“……”
Alcicle looked at Lee Han in amazement.
It was not a story that a student who had just finished the first year asked to agree to.
“Have you mastered < spatial awareness >? What happened?”
< Space Awareness >, which plays the role of accurately entering the space near the wizard in your head, was a 1st-circle magic, but it was more difficult than most 2nd-circle magic.
Occasionally, there was a magic of a monstrous degree of difficulty that jumped over the circle like this.
Of course, this kind of magic was not learned together when learning the 1st circle, but when learning the 3rd circle…
“A senior taught it to me?”
“I don’t know who it is, but I think it’s better not to deal with someone like that.”
Alcicle hated it.
In order to escape, the Moradi family’s blaster, who had no choice but to teach Lee Han < space awareness >, suddenly became treated as a crazy senior.
Even though Lee Han asked me to teach him first!
“no way. Not a bad person.”
“Gonadaltes-sama is not a bad person either.”
‘Isn’t that just bad?’
“If you know < Spatial Awareness >, the explanation will be easier. < Time Recognition > is also in a similar series.”
< Spatial Awareness >, which identifies which objects are located near you and the exact distance between them, starts with battle mages who have a lot of work to deal with fast enemies and adventurers who explore ruins enchanted with space magic. It was a useful magic to the field.
< Time Recognition > was similar.
When this magic was cast, the passing time in seconds, minutes, and hours could be accurately perceived without a watch, and the time from the beginning to the end of something could be measured without the slightest error.
This was also a useful magic for alchemists who make precise potions or battle mages who need to understand the opponent’s magic.
“By the way, I learned < Time Recognition > as well.”
“Have you not mastered < Spatial Awareness >?”
“uh. I don’t need it.”
“……”
“……”
Suddenly silence came.
It wasn’t particularly because of Alcicle’s fault, but there were times when places where people gathered were strangely quiet.
When there is nothing to say to each other, so the time to be still comes at the same time.
“I didn’t cook it because I really didn’t need it!”
“yes?”
“What are you saying…?”
Yoner and Nilia talked about ‘what kind of clubs are there in Einrogard’, then looked away.
Alcicle, who belatedly realized his misunderstanding, blushed.
“So I didn’t learn it because I didn’t need it. I don’t do battles or adventures…”
“I see.”
“It certainly is. It’s strange to learn everything like Wodanaz.”
Unlike the two, Gainando and Eandurde stared at Alcicle.
They didn’t say anything, but I could feel that the two of them communicated.
‘Ah-oh. These fledgling bastards who don’t know anything.’
“…let’s learn wodhanaz < time recognition >.”
“yes. I’m done with it now.”
“……”
Lee Han, who received the spell written by Alcicle and the flow of magic power when casting, learned < time recognition > while the senior wizard was talking.
Upon seeing that, Alcicle vowed to leave Wodanaz Mansion within this week.
Otherwise, I might go crazy.
‘It’s a hellish mansion…!’
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t cook it yesterday?”
“That’s right. But you said that < time awareness > and < space awareness > are learned a lot by other mages as well. We have to look at this separately.”
“……”
Alcicle felt a strong urge to hit Lee Han’s mouth with his wings.
Alcicle himself did not know this, but this was an impulse that even the headmaster Skeleton often felt.
“What next?”
“I hear him…”
“Yes?”
“The next step is to go back in time and read the past.”
Alcicle, whose pronunciation was inaccurate due to his tight grip, regained his composure and spoke.
From here on, it was a specialized field of time magic that neither Alcicle nor most other wizards had mastered.
“Let’s look at this wizard card. Where would this wizard card have been a year ago?”
“I got it from a guest who came to the mansion!”
As Gainando exclaimed excitedly, Alcicle hit the wizard card with his staff as if he had spoken well.
“A year ago, it was with a guest who came to the mansion, and two years ago, it was with another person. Reading the time this card has passed through can be said to be a true introduction to time magic.”
Dealing with time was on a different level from calling and manipulating only that element like other elements.
The basic practice required an enormous level of difficulty, as it required the process of intervening separately by cutting out the wizard’s realm itself as if it were isolating it.
This < past detection > played the role of giving such a basic exercise.
So that the wizard can control the passage of time remaining on the object at will.
“Now take this card and practice so you can read the past…”
Puff!
A huge golden eagle flew in front of the mansion’s window. A necklace with a crescent moon was hanging from the golden eagle’s neck.
“oh. You are here!”
“What?”
“The thing I bought at the Crescent Moon Auction. You have to pay for your pitch.”
“oh. You didn’t have to be in such a hurry.”
Even though he said that, Lee Han couldn’t help but be slightly excited.
What kind of things did Alcicle buy?
Perhaps feeling the expectations of his juniors, Alcicle smiled and opened the package.
“Voila!”
A round silver shield the size of a buckler emerged from within the packaging. The antique forms and patterns made me feel that they were relics made in the past.
Lee Han was surprised.
“Isn’t this expensive?”
“It’s not that expensive. It’s because it’s scratched and worn, it’s not a trendy design these days, there’s no jewels, and the effect is for actual combat…” “……
”
Lee Han was speechless at the reason that was so realistic.
“Still, I picked it because it seemed pretty useful to you. I liked the magic on the shield.”
“What kind of magic do you want?”
“Projectile Slow.”
“?”
Nilia hesitated at Alcicle’s words.
The < projectile deceleration > magic was not that rare.
Of course, the enchanted artifact itself was a valuable item, but that was the case with a semi-permanently engraved item.
Right now, the Shadow Ranger hunters would periodically go down the mountain range and ask the enchanters for magic.
It was to go hunting after temporarily enchanting the equipment.
One of the magics often seen at that time was < projectile deceleration >.
It was popular as it slowed down the heavy projectiles thrown by the enemies, and above all, it was not too difficult, so it was an advantage that enchantment mages knew how to use it.
“Wardanaz.”
Nilia whispered as she pulled Yihan’s collar.
“As far as I know, projectile slowdown magic isn’t that good, so maybe you’re being scammed…” ”
…The word slowdown is something else!”
Alcicle was furious at the reaction of his juniors.
Anyway, all the people from Einrogard were violent and rude.
“Even if it is the same deceleration, the principle is different. Usually projectile slowdown uses telekinesis or wind element. But this < Zalharn's Silver Shield > slows projectiles down with time magic.”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised to hear Alcicle’s words.
Nilia was also surprised and asked.
“Why are you bothering me like that?”
“…Wizards usually do useless things. I don’t know either. I must have been bored.”
It was a taboo question to ask a magician, ‘Why do you use magic to do that?’
Basically, the magic is that the moment you ask like that, you don’t need to use more than half of it.
It wasn’t even made by Arcicle himself!
“Since I will go to Ein Lorgard, I thought that a shield like this would be fine. And it would be nice to get used to the time magic.”
“thank you. Mr Penguin. Certainly, a shield like this will be of great help in Einrogard.”
“Why don’t you talk about getting used to the time magic?”
“Isn’t that natural? haha.”
Lee Han, who revealed his true feelings, took good care of his silver shield. I don’t know how useful this shield is, but it was definitely more useful than a helmet.
“Lee Han. Lee Han.”
“?”
“Give me the card back…”
“……”
Lee Han returned the < Saint Iactus > card he had received to practice magic earlier to Guyando.
As soon as Gainando received the card, he tucked it deep into his chest and was wary of his surroundings.
‘I won’t lose it to anyone!’
* * *
“We are here!”
Even Durgyu and Siana arrived at the family mansion.
The golem that greeted them bowed its head and went to the garden.
“and. Mr. Wodanaz. Are the golems working for you in the manor?”
“yes.”
“It’s really like the empire’s mage family!”
Lee Han did not bother to mention that demons occasionally appear in the estate.
Because it wasn’t really that important.
“Hasn’t anything happened since you two came?”
“The villagers are so kind.”
“that’s right. I was embarrassed because he kept giving me presents.”
Gainando grumbled.
“My carriage… my coachman…”
“It’s not the villagers’ fault. Guinan Island.”
“joy. Maybe the villagers kicked out the coachman.”
“Why would the villagers do such a thing?”
Lee Han was relieved when his friends came a long way and seemed to have been treated properly (except for one).
At this level, it seemed that he would not be sorry as the person who invited him.
“Then, since we’ve all gathered, shall we go on a picnic to the city tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow!? Did you come today?”
Priestess Cyana was taken aback.
“So the day after tomorrow?”
“Uh, say hello to the people living in the mansion, visit the villages around the mansion and do volunteer work… I think it will take a week…” “……” “
……
”
Shia At my words, my friends exchanged complicated and subtle glances.
