Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 67
Chapter 067
The Tower of the Blue Dragon, who arrived late, wondered at the noisy lounge and asked.
“what’s the matter?”
“Wodhanaj wants to raid the White Tiger Tower and take the flag!”
“…waaaaaaa! I was waiting for you!”
Each new student heard the situation and burst into cheers.
“No matter how you think about it, isn’t an exchange better?”
Kainando muttered as if he still couldn’t understand.
Lee Han was curious and asked.
It was quite rare for Kainando to express his opinion in such a way.
“Why do you think so?”
“By exchanging, we can solve tasks stably and without risk to each other.”
“yes. But since I couldn’t trust the White Tiger Tower guys, I came to the conclusion that it wouldn’t work.”
“The White Tiger Tower looks believable this time.”
“why?”
“Seeing the white tiger tower kids giving me bread and milk and talking kindly…” “
……”
Lee Han was shocked.
Giving bread and milk in a situation like now where you don’t even have enough to eat was never simple kindness.
No matter how much he conceded, up to half a loaf of bread was kindness, but if he went beyond that, he had to be seen as having dark ulterior motives.
‘Did you try to buy Kainan Island?’
All in all, why…?
‘Come to think of it, Guinan Island is a pretty good target.’
He seemed to have the right to speak because he was a member (of course, the students of the White Tiger Tower would not have known exactly the atmosphere inside the Blue Dragon Tower)
.
“good. Guinan Island. Let’s do as you say before attacking.”
“uh? really?”
“huh. Go tell the White Tiger Tower guys that I changed my mind.”
“Aren’t you going to tell the other kids?”
Gainando was puzzled.
Shouldn’t we tell our friends who are excited about the raid now that the plan has changed a bit?
“Because if I told them of your great plan, they wouldn’t accept it.”
“Well, that’s it too. I’ll tell you and I’ll come!”
Gainando set off right away confidently. Yoner, who was listening to the conversation from the side, put on a worried expression.
Lee Han nodded as if he understood Yoner’s concern.
“don’t worry. Even if the White Tiger Tower guys are a bit dirty, they won’t grab and harass Gainando in the current situation.”
“no. I was worried that Gainando would betray you.”
“…Isn’t Gainando such a person?”
“But you don’t know the world. I wish there was a potion that would prevent betrayal.”
“……”
Lee Han became very slightly afraid of Yoner.
More than that, Cainando is your cousin!
* * *
“Are you done?”
“It is done.”
The students of the White Tiger Tower were satisfied with the stylish flag.
Surprisingly, the students of the White Tiger Tower were seriously thinking of exchanging flags.
…even though it’s a fake flag!
Taking the opponent’s real flag with a fake flag was a pretty ingenious idea.
Of course, it wasn’t easy. Because I had to fool all the students in the Blue Dragon’s Tower who had good eyesight.
Thanks to this, the White Tiger Tower students went to the Black Turtle Tower Black Market to exchange the precious rabbit meat they caught over the weekend for fabric and dye.
While everyone was hungry, the blood was painful, but it was unavoidable.
“Moradi! it’s okay! The prince has come over! Pick a time and place to exchange! As planned, we will meet in front of the main building tomorrow when the sun rises overhead!”
Angrago, a goat-beast student at the White Tiger Tower who went to meet Kainando, exclaimed excitedly.
“also! Well done Ango!”
“I ate such precious food, but I have to do this much!”
Everyone was clapping and stamping their feet, but Giselle still looked uneasy.
Dwarf student Dukemar next to him asked.
“What’s wrong, Moradi? Any problem?”
“I still don’t know if that prince is useful…”
Giselle had a reason to be uneasy.
Originally, no matter what group it was, the leader who led that group had a unique aura.
I hate to admit it, but I could tell just by looking at Lee Han from the Wodanaz family.
Even if you don’t go all the way to the leader, if you have a certain position in the group, you can’t help but notice it…
…strangely, Prince Gainando didn’t feel that way.
“Moradi. Trust Anrago’s eyes. That prince will surely be a useful lever.”
“that’s right. i think so too.”
When Dukema sided with Anrago, all the other students joined in.
‘What do you call a bastard who has no ability but only confidence?’
Of course, Giselle did not fall for the friendship of such friends.
Objectively, Anrago was not that capable.
If they had the ability, they wouldn’t have run away crying when the three of them went to fight Wardanaz!
But Giselle said no more.
Giselle was acting like a boss in the White Tiger Tower, but she couldn’t do everything on her own.
Even the friends who believed in Giselle’s abilities and family and followed orders from below had feelings and dissatisfaction.
If he insisted on Giselle’s orders too arbitrarily, he could have gone astray.
Sometimes I had to show my friends that Giselle was listening. Because they were knights, everyone was very sensitive to this pride.
“okay. If Anrago goes that far, it must be true.”
“lol.”
Anrago scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.
‘Even if it fails anyway, it’s a fake flag.’
Even if the deal fails or the other side prepares a trap, it should be seen that there is no damage to this side.
Even if it fails, at best it will be about losing a fake flag that has no place to use it.
Giselle thought so and nodded.
“good. Then everyone disbands. Let’s exchange it tomorrow.”
“okay!”
* * *
A night when everyone was asleep.
Lee Han and his friends were moving out of the tower in the dark.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t just the Blue Dragon Tower students. A student from the Tower of the Black Turtle was also in the mix.
That was Ratford, a pro at stealing.
“Follow me.”
Since Lee Han was not wandering around alone, he needed the gaze of a professional thief.
Fortunately, Ratford readily complied with Lee Han’s request.
“omg.”
Yoner breathed in and let out a startled sound. Lee Han was also nervous.
what?
“why?”
“…I should have called Nilia too…!”
“!!!”
Lee Han also realized his mistake belatedly.
Of course, I didn’t need Nylia’s ability to go stealing, but when I heard it later, Nylia was sure…
“Ratford. If Nilia asks later, I’ve never called you.”
“All right?”
“…no. I’ll have to get into it somehow.”
There were a lot of people, so it seemed impossible not to get into Nilia’s ears later.
‘Let’s explain later.’
“That is the White Tiger Tower.”
In the darkness, only the moonlight illuminated the lofty tower. Lee Han nodded and slowly approached. Having been there a few times, it wasn’t that unfamiliar to me.
“Everyone remembers the plan, right? Act according to plan.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students nodded their heads nervously.
In fact, there was no such thing as a plan.
Lee Han and Ratford enter the White Tiger Tower first.
The other friends were hiding nearby, and when Lee Han told them to come in, they came in, and when they told them not to come in, they just waited.
But there’s no way you can do anything about being nervous.
In particular, since all of them were from the imperial family, this midnight raid was the first time.
“Rat… Mr. Ratford. Would you hold a branch in your mouth without making a sound? I heard it when I read the novel.”
“There’s no one patrolling, and the number is small, so there’s no need to do that.”
“Mr. Ratford. I wrapped my shoes in cloth to make the noise!”
“It can be slippery at night, so it’s better to loosen it.”
Thanks to that, Ratford was working as a daily thief instructor. Lee Han gestured to Ratford.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
Lee Han and Ratford stood in front of the white tiger tower gate. It was natural, as if he had come to his tower.
Asan, who was holding his sweaty palm tightly from behind, suddenly became puzzled.
‘Even so, Ratford, why are you so familiar with Wardanaz…?’
Lee Han held his breath and put his hand on the tower.
And I tried to read the magic that dwells within this tower.
“…!”
In an instant, Lee Han almost collapsed.
People felt far away when they tried to take in too much knowledge and information into their heads at once.
What Lee Han felt now was similar.
Countless number of spells were hung in this tower.
In addition, it was largely due to Lee Han’s excellent mana perception.
Other students would have noticed, at best, just one or two simple magics nearby, but Lee Han sensed all the above.
“Are you okay?!”
Ratford whispered in horror at seeing Lee Han break out in a cold sweat.
“are you okay. are you okay. I was just a little perplexed. It’s really not easy.”
“The Mage’s Tower is not an easy place to enter. If it’s hard…”
“No. Let’s do it.”
Lee Han concentrated not to read the entire tower.
The only thing you have to break through anyway is the magic blocking the entrance!
Woo woo woo woo-
“…!”
Huge magical energy began to gather. To the point where even the relatively insensitive Ratford could feel the gathering of mana.
‘Are you okay…me?’
Ratford was worried.
If he made a mistake with that amount of mana, Lee Han could be seriously injured.
‘no. If it’s Wodanaz-sama…’
Boom!!!!!!
“!!”
“!!!!”
A huge wave of magic spread that surprised even the students of the Blue Dragon Tower behind them.
And Lee Han exclaimed.
“The door is open! Everyone come in!!”
“Go… let’s go!”
* * *
– Master. The magic of the White Tiger Tower has stopped.
Anti-magicists again?! How did you get over the wall?
The skeleton headmaster, who was studying magic in a deep underground workshop, was surprised after a long time.
– It seems that the freshmen have stopped.
ah. If that’s the case. Things like that happen, too. Everyone, look at the assignment I gave you. will do in advance
Headmaster Skeleton quickly regained his composure.
for a moment. You can’t fool the magic of the tower at the level of a freshman… Did you get the artifact? What kind of idiots spilled the artifact? ah. no There was another way.
The muttering skeleton headmaster quickly found the correct answer.
Among the freshmen, there was one who could temporarily stop the magic of the tower.
Did you hit it with force? I am ignorant… but where did you learn to do that?
Headmaster Skeleton was slightly puzzled.
Such an ignorant method had no practical use and was dangerous, so not only the books but also the professors at school did not teach it well.
In order to dispel the magic, you have to figure out the structure and find a gap. What ignorant guy is going to hit it with force?
– Need to find out?
no. you stupid skeleton I didn’t say anything to you. Even if the entrance was opened, there must be other magic to block intruders? How did it go?
The magic of the White Tiger Tower was not limited to the entrance.
All sorts of anti-intrusion magics were placed inside the tower as well.
– Most of the other defensive magic has also stopped.
……
Skeleton Principal hesitated again.
Didn’t just pierce the entrance, but also stopped other magics?
‘No, such an ignorant…!’
How hard did he hit it so that the other magic stopped?
