Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 71

Chapter 071

Looking at the students who returned last time, ‘Was there no bull? Why isn’t there?’

I don’t know why that image suddenly flashed through my mind at that time.

‘Let’s concentrate.’

Lee Han looked away.

The spirit bull in front of him was exuding a very unique aura.

First, two types of horsepower.

It was probably the aura of strengthening magic and potion.

Theoretically, it was difficult to explain, but the strengthening magic cast from the outside and the magic potion that worked inside had different energy.

And an aura similar to magic, but with a different chest.

‘Is it the power of the spirit?’

Although Lee Han did not know much about spirits, he could at least know that the bull in front of him was mixed with spirits.

An ordinary bull wouldn’t have half of its body made of swaying blocks of ice.

As he glared this way, every time he stamped his hooves, the floor was covered with thin ice.

“Lee Han. I’m staring at this, but do you think it’ll run? What do you think?”

“I didn’t think much of it at first, but I think I turned on the light and got angry.”

“……”

Durgyu and Giselle turned their heads and looked at Lee Han.

hey!

“what? It’s dark, but you don’t have to turn on the light. The guy who gets angry at you for turning on the light is a strange guy.”

“I don’t think it’s important to determine whether the Spirit Bull is strange or not…”

“Ask if there’s a way to damage it, Choi.”

‘Isn’t it over yet?’

When Giselle told Durgyu what to say to Lee Han, Durgyu sighed deeply.

“Probably, ordinary physical attacks won’t go into the elemental part. Enchanting weapons is still too much…”

Among the monsters, there were quite a few that did not work with normal attacks.

In order to deal with these guys, adventurers would either carry enchanted weapons or learn how to put magic into their weapons.

“Among them, is there anyone who knows how to put a little bit of magic into a weapon?”

Durgyu raised his hand at Lee Han’s question. Giselle also raised her hand. Lee Han, who asked the question, also raised his hand.

…Giselle looked at them like crazy.

Durgyu, even so, why does a guy who is not from a knight family know how to store magic?

“I said it to Durgyu, but you answered it too. Anyway, if you can attack all three, isn’t it great? Let’s spread out and stab.”

In fact, it was quite fortunate to have these three in one group.

Lee Han and Durgyu were among the best swordsman students in their current swordsmanship class, and Giselle was slightly weaker than the two, but had equally strong swordsmanship skills.

Of course, the relationship was not very good.

“Ask who will stand in the middle. Choi.”

If you start approaching in the same situation as now, there is a very high possibility that the spirit bull will hate the guy in front.

Lee Han asked with respect for the captain.

“Could you tell me, of course, that the captain should stand in the middle? Durgyu?”

Giselle answered with a middle finger. Durgyu sighed.

“Rock Paper Scissors?”

“Rock Paper Scissors.”

Lee Han is in the middle. Giselle is on the right, Durgyu is on the left.

Durgyu seemed to have never seen Giselle smile so brightly.

* * *

Fortunately, the spirit bull didn’t attack first even when the fire was turned on.

The three students’ strategy was simple.

Each one scatters in three directions and approaches until the Spirit Bull reacts.

When it starts to react, the targeted student concentrates on evasion while the other two students deal damage.

‘The problem is avoidance.’

Originally, in this kind of hunting, it was important to drive and avoid, and the person who stabbed was relatively comfortable.

Lee Han felt sorry for his ability to avoid being in the middle.

– !

The Spirit Bull, which had only tapped its hooves until now, breathed ice and made a bloody sound.

Anyone could see that it was a warning sign saying, “Get out of the way quietly.”

Instead of approaching further, Lee Han used magic.

“Spring up, move!”

A ball of water welled up in the air and flew straight to the Spirit Bull. The spirit bull, which had been standing still, was startled and moved its body. Blisters of water exploded on the floor.

Puck Puck!

“Wonderful… wait.”

Durgyu, who was amazed at the magical skills that made him admire even when he looked at it again, felt something strange.

The direction in which Lee Han threw the water beads was somewhat strange.

It shoots down as if shooting from top to bottom, and the result is like driving the spirit bull to the right…?

‘The damn bastard is real.’

Giselle drew her twin swords.

Durgyu noticed, but there was no way Giselle wouldn’t notice.

In the first place, Giselle had also intended to run toward Lee Han when the spirit bull came toward her.

Pod!

Giselle jumped diagonally backwards to the left.

It was to turn the gaze of the spirit bull, which had been focused on him, back to Lee Han.

They were driven in an instant, but it was clear who was more threatening to the Spirit Bull.

He made up his own mind, but in the end, he dug his own grave.

-■■!

Stimulated, the Spirit Bull completely turned its angle and started running towards Lee Han and Giselle.

“I hide in the night!”

“…?!”

The new type of Lee Han has disappeared. Giselle didn’t even have time to swear. In order to deal with the Spirit Bull, I had to pull out the twin swords and open the Zaun Sword.

He waved the sword in his right hand to draw the spirit bull’s attention, and with the sword in his left hand he aimed precisely at the bull’s chin. Giselle, like a seasoned bullfighter, brushed aside and inflicted damage on the spirit bull.

‘Chit.’

Giselle clicked her tongue at the sensation she felt at her fingertips. The bull seemed to have no damage at all, as if it had attacked the elemental part.

The sword he was holding was covered with thin ice, but the part where the spirit bull was attacked was restored in an instant.

Queek-!

With a grating noise, the Spirit Bull turned. He was incredibly flexible and agile despite his huge size.

Giselle nodded and waved her sword as if to ask her to come back.

Boom!!!!

At that moment, the Spirit Bull flew aside as if it had been hit by something.

Lee Han released the invisible magic and appeared. The hard wooden sword he was holding in his hand was completely pulverized.

“……”

“……”

* * *

Of course, it may sound like an excuse, but there was a reason why Lee Han drew attention to Giselle.

In order for Lee Han to attack properly, someone had to draw the attention of the spirit bull.

If I told Giselle, of course she wouldn’t believe me…

It hurts, but I had no choice but to show it as a result.

“Is this okay? Lee Han?!”

“are you okay! Anyway, if it’s not this class, there’s nothing to do in the same group!”

Lee Han replied cheerfully and ran after the bull in a transparent state.

“You feet, fold the ground!”

Lee Han’s murmur turned into a spell and spread throughout his body.

The vision, which had already become clearer through concentration, became even clearer, and the movement of the spirit bull caught my eye.

Whoa!

Lee Han mercilessly injected mana into it, saying how long it had been since he had broken the sword last time.

Thanks to the spirit bull’s attention on Giselle, he was able to buy time properly.

Lee Han swung at the spirit bull before the sword shattered. Naturally, the black shattered along with the attack.

Boom!!!!

Still, the effect was certain. The spirit bull flew aside. Lee Han waved his hand paralyzed by shock and shouted before the spirit bull rose.

“Now! Let’s go outside!”

“That… yes.”

Durgyu couldn’t bear to look at Giselle’s expression. It was so scary.

* * *

The Goat Beast Anrago looked at the exit with a worried expression.

Angrago, who entered and left first in group 3, was very worried about group 4.

“What if Wodanaz uses Durgyu again?”

“don’t worry. You have Moradi. Moradi will take care of it.”

“Is that right? Because Moradi is there.”

Even though everyone said that, they looked worried.

It feels like putting wolves and sheep in the same place!

As such, when the three of them walked out, the students couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

‘thank god!’

“You’re here, Durgyu!”

“Moradi worked hard!”

“……”

“……”

“???”

However, the friends who came out realized that the atmosphere in Group 4 was a bit strange.

Wodanaz-ya is originally an expressionless and cold guy, but isn’t even Durgyu not knowing where to put his body with a very awkward expression?

Besides, Moradi…

I don’t know why, but I felt a bloody atmosphere that would kill me if I talked to him.

Anrago was frightened and stopped talking.

“ah. Ang.”

“Durgyu! Did you dodge well?”

“okay. well dodged How did you guys solve it?”

Durgyu asked curiously.

No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like the other students in the group would have solved it in the same way as Lee Han.

“I picked up a torch hanging in the corner, threw it, and ran away while he didn’t like it.”

“We summoned flames, threw them at him, and ran to our deaths.”

“hey. you guys are smart We didn’t have the ability to do that, so we managed to find the exit while luring the bulls in turn.”

Students in each group sang a saga.

There were groups that solved it wisely by rolling their brains, and there were groups that solved it by ignorantly hitting it with their bodies.

Every time he heard the story, Durgyu’s expression hardened.

‘Come to think of it, he told me to go to the exit after dealing with him, didn’t he tell me to defeat him?’

Professor Ingeldell did not say a word to defeat him, but as Lee Han and Giselle talked about how to catch it, Durgyu fell into the mood.

The groups that entered next came out one after another. Some students came out with tears in their cloaks or clothes with ice on them.

“Everybody was great. I told them to go to the exit after dealing with them, but there was a group that even suppressed them. I didn’t mean to let them in, but I can only praise them for being so good at suppressing them.”

At Professor Ingeldell’s words, the students murmured.

Some students tried to ask Giselle, ‘Giselle, did you do it?’

“How did it feel to deal with the monsters?”

“It was stronger than I thought. He moved quickly too.”

“I didn’t know that the attack itself wouldn’t go in.”

The White Tiger Tower students expressed their thoughts as they came to mind. Professor Elf nodded and replied.

“Everyone would have.”

“……”

Durgyu listened to the professor and wondered where his group went wrong.

“Everyone must feel differently. But as you evade the monsters, you must have realized one thing. That there is nothing to be afraid of.”

“you’re right!”

The White Tiger Tower students agreed.

Even if it was simply running away, my fear decreased more than I thought when I met and dealt with the monster in person.

In order to get rid of fear, you must eventually face it directly.

“Dealing with monsters is essentially the same as swordsmanship. Keep calm, figure out who your opponent is, and think about how you’re going to get away if you can’t win. I am glad that today you have learned a lesson that words cannot teach.”

Durgyu agreed with the professor’s words.

Of course, Durgyu’s Joe just hit it right away…

“Yes. This semester’s class is going to proceed according to the group selected today. It’s a lot more balanced than I thought.”

“……”

Durgyu nodded as he listened, then froze. Then he looked at Lee Han and Giselle.

Their expressions were also hardened similar to Durgyu’s. Lee Han asked Durgyu in a low voice.

“Um. Do you think it’s good to apologize for what happened earlier?”

“…I think it would be better if we just talked about it between me…”
