Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 69
Chapter 069
It’s a new word now, but magic school wasn’t a safe place.
A place where many dangerous things have no choice but to happen, except for the professor.
Newbie wizards learning magic right away couldn’t help but try not to get into trouble.
The rampaging summons were one of those examples.
At the beginning of the semester, the seniors who tried to prepare summoned animals for magic experiments failed to control them.
‘… No matter how much you fail to control it, does it make sense to have a riot like this on campus? Isn’t this a fundamental problem with the school system?’
After hearing Professor Garcia’s explanation, Lee Han was dumbfounded.
Still, not giving up hope, Lee Han asked again.
“I heard that the other summons also escaped… It will be sorted out soon, right? Aren’t the best wizards in the empire here at school?”
“Sure.”
Lee Han was relieved at Professor Garcia’s words.
Still, you can fix it!
“It will all be caught in about a month. Lee Han student.”
“……”
Lee Han’s face hardened. It was dark and he was so focused on the creeper that Professor Garcia didn’t notice his expression.
“…Then what should I do for a month?”
“Shouldn’t we be careful?”
Professor Garcia was serious.
I’m not saying this out of malice, but shouldn’t I be really careful if the summoned beasts that have been released are lurking around the campus?
…Of course, from Lee Han’s point of view, it was absurd.
‘A professor is a professor!’
No matter how good he was, it was the professor here who had a certain amount of madness inside.
Awesome!
“Thank you persimmon! thank you!”
Professor Garcia summoned a sharp ring of wind to cut off the creeper’s vine, then safely rescued the captive White Tiger Tower student.
Although it seemed simple on the surface, it was a highly complicated series of magic that threatened the vine monster with mental magic, cut the vine with wind-based elemental magic, and safely caught the falling white tiger tower student with gravity distortion magic.
Lee Han couldn’t believe that Professor Garcia had done all of this by compressing all of this into simple movements without even holding his breath.
‘amazing!’
The last time I saw it properly when I had free time like this, not when I was hectic, Professor Garcia’s magic reminded me of a ballerina.
Just as a master ballerina creates an unapproachable aura just by stretching her arms and lifting her legs, Professor Garcia did the same.
“are you okay?”
“Uhhhhh!”
The White Tiger Tower student was so scared that he forgot that he was from a knight family and burst into tears.
Or maybe it was because it was the first time a professor had ever spoken to me warmly after entering this school.
“By the way, why are you out at night?”
“Ugh, Wodanaz… came into the break room… and raised our tower flag…” “
……”
Professor Garcia turned his head away with an absurd expression.
Coming out at night was absurd, but entering through the magic of the break room was even more absurd.
how?
However, Lee Han was no longer there. He had already run away.
* * *
They returned safely with the flag, but the Blue Dragon Tower students’ expressions were subtle.
Before I could even rejoice, a voice came from outside.
The summoned beasts have escaped from the school, so students take care of themselves. I’ll say it again. The summoned beasts escaped from the school…
The students had nothing to say anymore.
It was a school that gave a new shock every week.
A school where something new appears every time you think, ‘Is there anything new?’
How could I be nervous in school?
“……”
“…Didn’t someone among the professors release it?”
One of the Blue Dragon Tower students muttered.
If it was the first week, there would have been reactions like ‘what nonsense’, but now everyone showed serious doubts.
“It is clear that the professor solved it. I think the principal…”
“No! Professor Thunderwalk is suspicious!”
“Rather than that, why can’t you catch it right away?”
Lee Han, who had been listening quietly, thought to himself.
‘Isn’t it because the professors are annoying?’
Come to think of it, it was a bit odd that it took about a month.
How many wizards are there in this vast magic school.
If all of the outstanding professors were mobilized and the siege was unfolded, whether the summoned beast or the dragon escaped, it would have been normal to have it sorted out quickly.
But basically, professors didn’t move easily.
The mistakes made by oneself are also solved by the disciples under him, and the mistakes made by the disciples are even more so by the disciples.
As such, there’s no way they’ll act on their own in a summoned beast escape case
…
Lee Han kept his mouth shut out of consideration for the students.
“At least we should tell you which ones escaped! Aren’t seniors too much of a human being?!”
“I mean!”
The anger went past the professor and towards the seniors who didn’t know their faces.
The freshmen cheered up and cursed at the seniors.
Aren’t they suffering because of incompetent seniors!
“Stop talking and have breakfast. Everyone had a hard time at night, so I paid special attention.”
Lee Han lifted the large pot hanging in front of the fireplace.
The color of the red tomato beef stew made the Blue Dragon Tower students happy.
The amount of groceries brought from outside was substantial, but Lee Han had no intention of wasting it. You never know when you’ll be able to go out again.
However, I didn’t know if it would be okay to give generously in the current situation. Because everyone suffered a lot.
‘I need to grow some more vegetables.’
Lee Han was thinking of expanding the cottage garden.
Plant not only sweet potatoes and potatoes, but also some fruit trees around…
‘I want to increase chickens. If I raise pigs, will Professor Thunderwalker treat me like a madman?’
What I felt while managing the garden was that fresh vegetables are very important in human life.
The availability of fresh vegetables made a difference in the quality of meals.
The tomato beef stew I brought was the same. Tomato sauce and spices gave the umami and aroma, and the big chunks of beef had a noticeable impact… However,
it was vegetables such as onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms that helped give this stew a rich and deep taste.
I stir-fried these vegetables and did the preliminary work…
‘What am I thinking right now?’
Lee Han paused in an epiphany.
Somehow, after coming to school, it seemed that he was gaining more enlightenment in other fields than magic.
The blue dragon tower students who worked hard at night enjoyed breakfast with bread after putting a bowl full of stew.
Eating a warm breakfast with the sunlight coming through the stained glass in the break room made me feel as if I had returned to my own home.
The summoned beasts have escaped from the school, so students take care of themselves. I’ll say it again. Since the summoned beasts have escaped from the school…
“…I’m losing my appetite…”
“Then should I eat it?”
“Can’t you put your hand away? I challenge you to a duel.”
Lee Han stood up, took the bowl, and headed for the princess’ private room.
Now I’m used to not having to be asked by other students.
“?”
However, the door did not open as usual. Lee Han gave up and returned after the princess did not answer no matter how many times he knocked on the door.
“what’s the matter? You say the princess doesn’t eat it?”
“no. I have no answer.”
“iced coffee. You seem to be sleeping. You must have been tired yesterday…”
The students serving the princess nodded with understanding expressions.
Well, it was understandable that I was tired as it happened yesterday.
Lee Han was slightly stabbed.
‘You must not have in mind that I threatened you with a hostage, right?’
Unlike Gainando, Adenart had the ability and had many students who worshiped him.
Even if not now, it would be quite annoying if Adenart said ‘Wodanaz took me and used me as a hostage’ during vacation.
So I put a little bit of beef in the stew…
“Then let’s not wake him up. Wodanaz. thank you. The princess is very short-mouthed, but if you bring it to me, it seems that she can’t refuse it even if it’s because of her sincerity.”
“…?”
Lee Han tilted his head.
did you?
‘I think I ate very well…’
Asked Guyando, who was eating the stew next to him, scraping the wooden bowl with his spoon.
“Isn’t it better to wake up early than to starve? Sleeping is always good, but eating is…”
“Don’t talk nonsense, Gainando! Do you think the princess is like you?”
“that’s right! You’re not so obsessed with food!”
In fact, Lee Han and Gainando had similar thoughts.
You can sleep at any time, so I think it would be better to get up, eat, and go back to sleep…
‘That’s it. The followers must be right.’
“By the way, Lee Han.”
“?”
“Will class be okay this morning?”
“Morning class… Ah.”
Lee Han checked the paper at Yoner’s words and hesitated.
“Maybe it will be fine.”
“……”
Yoner’s eyes said, ‘I don’t think it’s okay no matter how much I think about it’.

“……”
“……”
Basic swordsmanship lessons.
Of course, as much as what happened last night, the students of the White Tiger Tower were glaring at Lee Han with very, very uncomfortable expressions.
At least, Durgyu was the only one who spoke to Lee Han.
Durgyu said strongly.
“You didn’t have to do that out of consideration for me. Lee Han.”
The moment he was hit in the jaw and collapsed, Durgyu realized.
That the honorable Lee Han took on the role of a villain for Durgyu.
After waking up, the White Tiger Tower students were angry, saying, ‘Do you know what that son of a bitch said to you?’
“If I can’t do what I need to do because I’m noticing other friends, that’s not a real friend. A true friend knows how to understand both honor and friendship.”
“That is a moving word. Durgyu.”
Lee Han thought to himself, ‘Isn’t it really related to honor that I came in to steal the flag yesterday?’
When the person who was slapped on the chin forgives you, you should listen quietly with your mouth shut.
“So there is no need for you to play the villain from now on.”
“Yes, yes.”
Of course, Lee Han intended to act similarly if something similar happened in the future, no matter what Durgyu said or not.
Durgyu says he doesn’t care, but there’s no way the other White Tiger Top friends won’t mind either.
Even now, the students of the White Tiger Tower were glaring at Lee Han.
“Durgyu is being tricked again…!”
“Don’t let me have any contact with him!”
Some students even gnashed their teeth and hit the wall with their bodies to prevent them from approaching.
Anyone who sees it will know that Durgyu was brainwashed by Lee Han.
“Good morning. Everyone.”
The elven swordsman and professor Ingeldell appeared with his sword like a cane. The students who had just been standing individually straightened their postures and bowed politely.
Professor Ingeldell continued with a soft voice uncharacteristic of a swordsman.
“When I woke up, the freed summons were roaming the school. I thought it was such an absurd place.”
“……”
All the students nodded. It was a word that everyone could not help but agree with.
“But students have to stay here… I’ve been thinking about it too. What method will help?”
“?”
Lee Han suddenly became anxious.
When professors thought about their students, there were not many cases where good results came out.
“So I caught one of the released summons. Let’s practice dealing with each other.”
“……”
Lee Han began to be seriously worried that Professor Ingeldell might be tainting the school.
