Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 687

Episode 687

“What was that just?!”

Diret’s cry startled Yihan and Illendil.

“Crazy teacher… No, Yukbeltyre-senpai, did you find this place?”

“Shit… No, did Yukbeltyre-senpai find this place?”

“…Yukveltyre left earlier. Rather, didn’t you say you just made the < Liberation from the Skeleton > potion?”

Lee Han answered the question puzzled.

“Not yet.”

“Isn’t it?”

At the junior’s answer, Diret tried to sit down again, wondering if he had misunderstood something.

“Because only the undiluted solution has to be completed and diluted.”

“……”

Diret was at a loss for words at the junior’s absurd reply.

If you complete the undiluted solution right before dilution, in fact, it is almost finished.

“How did you make it? < Liberation from the Skeleton > must be a pretty difficult potion, right?”

“Thanks to my love for the spirits…”

Elendil tried to speak warmly, but Lee Han answered first.

“It was possible because the process was similar to that of < Dobuk's Enchantment Potion > that I helped make, and there were many processes that could be replaced with magic. Senior Elendil also did some complicated ground work in advance.”

Elendil waved his hand slowly as if it was nothing.

“Rather than that, < Dobruk's Enchantment Potion >… where did you get it?”

Dobruek’s Haunting Potion was also a very difficult and difficult potion to make, so there was no need for a first-year student to make it.

“I made it while helping Joanen from the Meikin family.”

Clink!

Elendil dropped the enamel bowl he was holding.

Then he looked at Lee Han with a look of astonishment.

“Did you work under Meikin-sama…?”

‘Do you have any grudge against Joanen-sama?’

Lee Han was slightly taken aback by the senior’s reaction.

I didn’t know that there would be such a strong reaction.

“yes. I worked last time.”

“How did you hold on…?”

“……”

Ihan couldn’t answer right away at Illendil’s muttering.

It was true that Joanen’s workshop made the work harsh.

“It wasn’t as difficult as I thought.”

“That place’s nickname is the place where alchemists are changed instead of reagents…”

“Coming to think of it, Joanen-nim was a bit terrifying. I was scared too.”

Lee Han quickly abandoned Joanen.

It seemed that he would become a strange person as well if he took sides.

Elendil comforted Lee Han as if he was sorry.

“I think you must have suffered a lot. To make a potion like that in a studio…”

“Actually, that level won’t be a big problem for that junior. You don’t have to worry so much.”

Dereth added from the side.

Judging from what Lee Han had done up until now, making potions in the studio would have been easy.

Of course, Elendil, who did not know the inside story, hated it inwardly.

‘As expected, he’s a scary person…!’

Leading the black magic school with iron blood, without blood or tears, was also not something anyone could do.

* * *

Wizards who had been wandering around like cultists gave up before they knew it and disappeared, and dawn began to dawn in the distance.

Lee Han, who was diligently making potions with Elendil (don’t leave out the finished ones, put them in his backpack one by one), looked outside and said.

“I think we can leave now.”

“okay. Thanks again. I visited the studio like this, and they welcomed me.”

At Diret’s words, Elendil felt embarrassed as if it were nothing.

“I’m also a junior from the same school…”

‘Umm.’

Diret looked at Lee Han with complicated eyes.

It was normal to take care of people from the same school, but strictly speaking, Lee Han was a junior from the same school to almost all of his seniors.

‘Let’s not talk about it.’

Diret held back his words for Elendil’s sake.

No matter how eccentric a person was, at least one competent junior was a law that was necessary.

“…Because I’m taking care of the Dark Spirit.”

“!”

Lee Han hesitated.

‘Oops.’

Come to think of it, the promise I made the other day when we parted ways with Elendil was to take good care of the Dark Spirit (forcibly contracted).

‘I haven’t summoned him since then…’

Usually, there are situations where it is necessary to summon a spirit.

The problem was that the Dark Spirit was never really needed.

As the dark element is one of the most difficult and difficult elements, there were many cases in which the help of spirits was needed to handle it, but Lee Han succeeded by using it himself.

In the case of fire spirits and cold spirits, it’s good to have them do small things, but dark spirits were difficult, so

from Lee Han’s point of view, it was inevitable that they didn’t summon them.

“Can we meet again?”

Elendil asked with twinkling eyes.

Seeing this, Lee Han felt very burdened.

‘I don’t think he hated me. If I summon it, wouldn’t it attack like this?’

Preparing to fight back if attacked, Lee Han carefully summoned a lower-class Dark Spirit.

The dark elemental spirits gathered into a round ball appeared.

“How have you been…?”

At Elendil’s call, the elemental dark elemental spun around.

Last time, even though he was in a runaway state, he had a fairly favorable attitude, as if he remembered the owner who made him to some extent.

In addition, since Illendil was of mixed dryad blood, there was a side to him who started liking the spirits by default.

“Have you had any inconveniences… or any problems in the spirit realm? Elemental power?”

Seeing the two of them talking, Lee Han was a little nervous.

He did not know when the Dark Spirit would accuse Lee Han.

“Is the contract okay?”

Upon receiving the question, the Dark Spirit turned around and pretended to prostrate himself at Lee Han.

It was a display of loyalty.

“You look fine!”

“It’s rare for spirits to show loyalty like that, but they must have been together for a long time?”

Not only Illendil, but even Diret were intrigued.

And Lee Han was also curious.

“???”

I never summoned him, but I couldn’t understand why the Dark Spirit was doing that.

Even the one who showed full hostility the last time we met!

“I. senior.”

“?”

Diret looked away when Lee Han whispered and called.

“That Dark Spirit.”

“Yeah. great? It would be difficult to receive that kind of loyalty from a spirit, but a dark spirit. How did you meet?”

Lee Han replied, shifting the topic slightly, as if telling what Elendil had done would make the relationship between the two more awkward.

“I haven’t been summoned since the first contract I signed last time, so why are you doing that?”

“…what?”

Diret doubted his ears.

Usually, time was essential to become friendly with the spirits.

The time accumulated by wizards and spirits.

That time is what solidifies the two beings from different dimensions and completes their friendship.

But you never summoned me.

“Why didn’t you summon me?”

“I don’t have anything to summon…?”

“Didn’t you ever need the dark element? Didn’t you summon a skeleton by combining dark elements?”

“That was just me casting it.”

“……”

Diret realized that having too much talent was also a problem.

To do all the work that should have been helped by the spirits in the first place.

Maybe it wasn’t just because of magic that this junior was not friendly with the spirit.

“It’s normal to show that kind of obedience even though we haven’t accumulated time and become close…”

“Normal?”

“It’s because I’m scared.”

“…I didn’t do anything.”

“Even if you don’t do anything directly to the spirit, the spirit is sensitively aware of the magician’s life. Let’s see, junior, you…”

Diret looked back on what Lee Han had done recently.

From the heartbreak mountain range to the things we did at the exchange venue.

…too many things to pinpoint.

“I guess that’s why you’re scared.”

“Oh no. Didn’t you say loyalty earlier?”

“Loyalty out of fear or loyalty out of love is similar.”

In case someone wasn’t a student of the dark magic school, Diret had no hesitation in overpowering his summoned beasts with fear.

Basically, as many of the summoned creatures in the undead dimension were violent, the warlocks had to wield fear like a whip to subdue it.

Of course, Lee Han had no choice but to be hesitant as he pursued a slightly different direction from those of his seniors.

“Perhaps you weren’t summoned, so you were happy with that kindness…”

“I don’t think the spirits think like humans. Junior. just accept it Some people become friends with the spirits, but others have no choice but to subdue them.”

Lee Han glared slightly at the black magic school senior, who only chose to say unhelpful things.

I really hated someone who might not be Yukbeltyre’s friend.

Unaware of their conversation, Elendil even said goodbye after talking to the Dark Spirit.

“Huh. I’m happy to see him so healthy…”

Seeing Illendil’s tears welling up in joy, Yihan and Diret put on complicated expressions.

Diret quickly spoke up to change the subject.

“Junior. When are you going to Grand City? It must be time to go soon.”

“yes? You still have quite a bit of time left.”

When the vacation ended and a new semester approached, students would usually gather in the city of Granden, the nearest big city to Ein Rogarde.

Of course, Lee Han and his friends had plans to go to Granden City, but not now, at least for nearly two weeks.

Why did he stay so close to Einrogard?

“ah. but. I don’t know because this is your first time.”

Diret belatedly realized Lee Han’s reaction and began to explain.

“It’s usually not a good idea to stay in the city of Grande during winter break. As it is close to Einrogard, there is a high chance of meeting the professor.”

“I came all the way to the city of Flaher and met him.”

“That’s what you were destined to attract the professor to. Junior.”

Dietrich responded calmly. Lee Han looked at his senior with a hurt expression.

How can you say that?

“It’s not a bad idea to wait as long as possible and arrive at Granden City, but everyone starts arriving early even after the second year.”

“Why?”

“To prepare things to bring to school.”

“!”

Lee Han was surprised by Diret’s words.

“Uh, will that be possible from the second year?”

Ein Lorgard was not a school that required special preparations.

All the necessary books and equipment were not provided by the school, and students could get them themselves.

But starting from the second year, I bought the necessary items and went in.

Is it because the required level of magic has increased that much?

“It’s amazing. To think the principal allowed that from the second year onwards. I thought you would ban it.”

“……”

“……”

Diret and Elendil stared at Lee Han.

With that gaze, Lee Han realized that he had misjudged something.

“Wait, no way…”

“Of course you won’t allow it. What you just said was about smuggling.”

What Diret was talking about was smuggling, not being officially brought in.

Of course, the skeleton principal forbade the students to bring outside items. It didn’t change whether it was 1st grade or 6th grade.

However, any student who has spent more than a year at Einrogard felt the need for an external item.

Where there is need, there is magic.

At the beginning of the new semester, the students of Einrogard tried to put as many items as possible into the school.

“Can’t we get out in the middle of the semester and bring supplies with us?”

“…Junior. You know that students who come and go like you are not common, right?”

Diret looked pathetically at the junior who calmly uttered more difficult words.
