Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 743

Episode 743

“Ugh. Seniors.”

Lee Han, who entered the tower, was surprised to see a familiar face.

Ileg, a spectacled bear beastman student from the Chagla family, was waiting for Lee Han with a gentle expression.

Of course, Lee Han was not fooled by the gentle and kind demeanor of the man in front of him.

I still vividly remember the strength that this priest showed me at the library club last time.

“Wardanaz. nice to meet. How are you doing at school? “Are you not overworking yourself?”

“It seems like things are going okay. “Overwork… um…”

Lee Han hesitated.

This was because it was difficult to conscientiously say that I was not overworking myself.

“By the way, are you also interested in music magic?”

“okay. “I’m very interested in some features of music magic.”

“Music magic is probably not as efficient as other primitive magic.”

“But it has irreplaceable advantages.”

Ileg said with sparkling eyes.

As a 5th grade student, Ileg did not easily give up his interest even if there was no immediate efficiency or results.

This library club student was interested in the spatial control element of musical magic.

It was quite attractive to cast magic on the area itself without using words, unique worlds, or various anti-magic spells.

“Of course, the sheet music is limited as it has almost been used in practice, and its effectiveness will be weak as no efficiency studies have been conducted… That’s why I prepared this tower. “The power of this tower will amplify the magic.”

Ileg pointed at the < Tower of Echoes > with his huge, muscled arm.

While studying music magic this semester, Ileg planned to restore some actual scores and use those scores to cast musical magic on several places in Einrogard.

The ultimate goal is to recreate the magic of music that lasts semi-permanently!

‘oh.’

Lee Han became a little intrigued when he heard the muscular senior’s words.

Certainly, as my 5th grade senior organized things systematically and set goals, I started to see things a little more clearly.

I thought music magic was too limited and limited, but if I restored the scores and improved efficiency as Ileg said, I could really apply the effect to the desired location.

‘hmm. If you can… First, a stamina recovery effect in the personal lounge. One concentrated effect in the 2nd grade common lounge. no. That won’t be enough. I guess I should add some curse music that makes you suffer if you do anything else. One intelligence increase effect on the base. There is growth in the hut…’

“Wardanaz. I heard you know how to play a musical magic. “Can you please show me?”

Even if he didn’t know how to play music magic, if a senior as big as Ileg had told him, Lee Han would have learned magic on the spot.

And fortunately, Lee Han had one musical magic he had mastered.

“There is, but the song is a little strange. The effect also amplifies dark elements…”

“Wardanaz! “That alone is amazing enough.”

It wasn’t because Ileg was nice, but other students who were interested in music magic also nodded in agreement.

As music magic now needs to be built from the ground up, just knowing how to cast a complete magic like Lee Han was of great help to the students.

The bard Ipadur also seemed to think so and encouraged Lee Han.

“Wardanaz student. There are no strange songs in the Empire. “Whether it is a concerto, a satire, a symphony, or a rhapsody, a song is beautiful in itself.”

After receiving encouragement from his seniors and the bard, Lee Han realized that he had made a mistake.

‘okay. That’s true.’

The music magic that Lee Han practiced during winter vacation may sound a little strange, but it was good enough magic.

Effects that amplify the dark element and change the properties of the area may be necessary.

…mainly limited to black magic, but anyway.

“Then let’s give it a try.”

Lee Han took out his violin to repay the warm support. And then they started playing a hymn.

“Praise the sacrifice of the new students, wizards…” “

?”

“??”

“What did your senior see? I saw the devils of hell and their demons walking around…”

“???”

“????”

The lyrics were so unusual that students couldn’t focus on the changes happening around them.

Even though the lights were brightly lit, the surroundings became dark and the concentration of dark elements became increasingly dense.

But the students still whispered about the lyrics.

“What on earth are those lyrics? It sounds like music from the Three Kingdoms era…”

“Were there Einroguards back then?”

“There must have been a building? no. “Rather than that, are they all experiences?”

“No way… probably not. “Unless you’re the most unlucky person in the empire…”

Lee Han, who finished playing, said in admiration that the dark element in the room had been amplified and that this effect did not easily disappear.

“The effect of the tower is truly amazing! “I had no idea it would last like this.”

“……”

“……”

“Seniors?”

Ileg, who was the first to come to his senses, began clapping loudly.

Then he winked at the other students at the same time.

Clap clap clap clap!

“It was a touching song!”

“I can definitely prove the effectiveness of music magic!”

“Wardanaz I am so happy to have a junior like you!”

Questions about the lyrics were put to rest and the seniors quickly praised the juniors.

Lee Han bowed his head in pride.

“thank you. “I didn’t expect you to praise me like this.”

“Then shall we all practice together?”

Ileg said while looking at the students.

The best way to learn magic was to try casting it yourself.

Luckily, a junior here has completed a sheet music, so it will be even better for practicing.

“excuse me. Junior.”

“yes?”

“Here in these lyrics…”

“Is the song strange as expected?”

“no! no! That’s absolutely not the case! I’m just curious about the meaning of the lyrics! What does the lyric ‘I saw the devils of hell walking around’ mean?”

“That was something I experienced last year…”

“……”

* *

* -Wizards…

“Oh. “You’re singing.”

“Is music magic practical?”

“I do not know either. However, I think it would be quite possible if Senior Ileg decided to research it.”

The Mason Club students, who were about to return after finishing the cleanup, unknowingly stopped and listened to the music flowing from beneath the < Tower of Echoes >.

When I thought about it, this kind of cultured luxury was truly a luxury that was difficult to enjoy in Einrogard.

They say you can only listen to magically recorded music outside, but who would do that inside here?

“Good…”

“If it’s okay later, I’d like to ask you to play the Lich Suppression Overture. “I like that song.”

“It’s a good opera. “The lesson of subduing the lich is also good.”

-What did your senior see? I saw the demons of hell and their demons walking around…

“?”

“???”

The Mason Club students were intoxicated with the song, but belatedly noticed the lyrics and looked up.

Darkness shimmered ominously from the window above the Tower of Echoes.

“…Shall we go back?”

“OK.”

When I thought about it, no matter how good the music was, it didn’t seem like a wise move to hang around a workshop where magic research was being conducted.

* * *

“I never thought there would be such success from the beginning.”

The students who gathered for the music magic were happy with flushed faces.

At first, it felt awkward because the lyrics were unfamiliar, but as I continued to practice, the unfamiliarity disappeared. Rather, it was a lyric that any student of Einrogard could relate to.

“thanks. Wardanaz. “I need to practice regularly!”

“I need to tell my other friends too. The effect may be weak, but the song alone will be enough to impress you.”

“I’m glad you say that.”

Lee Han felt joy welling up deep inside his heart when all his seniors liked the song.

Maybe this was how an artist felt.

‘I thought the lyrics were a little strange, but I guess they’re okay.’

“ruler. everyone. Would you like to gather here?”

Ileg pointed to the bookshelves as he poured hot cocoa from a kettle for the students who gathered for musical magic even on the weekend.

The bookshelf was filled with so many old books and sheet music that it was hard to guess the year.

“These are music magic scores I collected from the library. There are not many that are complete and will need to be restored, but there are still a few that are in good condition that can be used right away. Ipadur here will help you play and sing this score.”

The students’ eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation as their senior spoke.

As everyone was interested in music magic and gathered to learn and use it, they couldn’t help but be curious about the accumulated sheet music.

“Mr. Ipadur.”

“hmm.”

The old turtle bard nodded and stood up. Then, he took out sheet music one by one that was in good condition and began to read it.

“< The Lizard that Calls Rain > seems to be a song that uses the pan flute. I think it will probably have an effect related to the water element… but the difficulty level of playing it would be intermediate.”

In musical magic, performance was as important as the magic’s movements, and naturally, for magic with higher performance difficulty, the difficulty level increased accordingly.

The students listened carefully, assessing which instruments they knew how to play well and how difficult they were to play.

“Next is < The Campaign of Iactus >. It’s a song that uses drums, so I don’t think it would go well with anything other than a percussion instrument. Wouldn’t it be effective in battle…”

“I want to try learning it!”

One of the seniors raised his hand and shouted.

Then Ileg shook his head.

“I will choose songs in a different way.”

“yes? how?”

Ileg took out a swallow made of folded paper as if he had been waiting.

The students were embarrassed by that sight.

“Are we going to do this by drawing lots?”

“okay. Otherwise, I think people will only flock to popular songs. “Wouldn’t it be best to practice as diversely as possible to keep records?”

Lee Han tilted his head.

Of course, from the perspective of researching music magic, it was advantageous to secure information by covering it as broadly as possible.

It was important to collect information such as which scores were good, which scores were not so good, and which had special effects.

However, the students who gathered to learn the magic of music each have a limited number of instruments to play and a set number of songs to sing well.

If it’s a type of music you’ve never dealt with before, won’t it take more time to practice?

“If the song doesn’t fit, won’t it take too much time to practice?”

“yes. “Senior Ileg as well.”

Another senior next to Lee Han nodded and agreed. Everyone seemed to have similar thoughts, so words came out one after another.

“This is just increasing the level of difficulty, which is already high.”

“It’s only possible in a limited way inside the tower.”

The seniors, who had been chatting to some extent, seemed to have reached a consensus and sang Ileg together.

“Seniors!”

“Why are you doing that?”

Lee Han was a little nervous even though it wasn’t his call.

How will senior Ileg react to his juniors’ rebellion?

“Please proceed quickly! “I’d like to see the score we’ll play!”

“okay! “Wait.”

Ileg smiled and started shuffling the lots.

When Lee Han, who did not understand the conversation just now, looked at him in confusion, the seniors spoke calmly.

“You can’t disobey Senior Ileg’s words.”

“Okay. It’s okay if we just complain to each other in moderation.”

“……”

Lee Han was so impressed by his seniors’ excellent management skills that he was at a loss for words.
