Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 760
Episode 760
“It’s just a minor ownership dispute!”
Who owns Einrogard’s items?
Perhaps this difficult question was a question that Einroguard wizards would have to deal with forever.
An anonymous lich would claim, ‘It belongs to the headmaster,’ an anonymous troll half-blood professor would claim, ‘Isn’t it belonging to someone who cared for it?’ and radical students would claim, ‘It belongs to someone who needs it,’ but there is still no definitive answer. didn’t
And usually the rules changed flexibly depending on the situation.
-for a moment. I took over the alleyway here. If you want to pass by, pay the toll.
-You’re crazy. Are the White Tiger Tower guys from bandits, not knights? Attack!
-for a moment. I took over the alleyway here. We are repairing collapsed passageways and removing traps that appear periodically. If you want to pass by, pay the toll.
– Honorable White Tiger Tower student. Thank you for your hard work. I will pay the toll here.
Depending on the other student’s contribution or cause, ownership is also recognized to some extent.
However, this mushroom cultivation field was a place where ownership was quite complicated.
More than ten years ago, a senior accidentally discovered this community where mushrooms were growing on their own…
-I found my friends’ mushroom field!
-Are there any cloud mushrooms?
-okay! Now there is no need to enter the Mist Mountain anymore!
-for a moment. If it’s a field like that, someone else might try to take it over.
-Let’s work together to protect it. This mushroom field is ours!
A few years later, as my seniors graduated, I took over and shared it with my juniors…
-I was the one who helped my seniors the most with their work. I have to have the biggest area!
-You’re talking nonsense. Who took care of the mushrooms the most?
-It grows even if you leave it alone, so why take care of it? Don’t talk nonsense and share equally!
The area that had been inherited became complicated and conflict arose.
-From here to here is my territory!
-What are you talking about? It says not here.
-Forgery?! This bastard. You faked it!
-Hey, let me ask you something. I bought the rights to the mushroom cultivation field here for twelve gold coins… but
after a series of forgery, theft, and fights, the mushroom cultivation field has now become a strange land with multiple owners.
“Is there a place like that?”
“I heard there are a lot of places like that in Einrogard?”
“……”
Lee Han, who returned to the bottom of the bank where his friends were waiting, was taken aback by Yoner’s words.
“I can’t help it. “I have to brush it off.”
“I thought you would say that. Wardanaz.”
Lee Han was slightly worried about whether he should have an honest conversation with Priest Siana later.
‘You’re probably thinking of me like the seniors in the location transfer club, right?’
When he had no choice, he moved things for the purpose of making a living, and never because he enjoyed it.
…maybe.
“Maybe it would be better to wait until night?”
“That’s the problem.”
“?”
“You started teaching alchemy, right? Everyone is in the midst of gathering materials to use for the semester.”
“yes.”
“The seniors know that too, so I think they’ll stick around there for a while.”
“……”
Lee Han stuck his head above the embankment and checked again.
There were traces of preparations for camping, including various sleeping bags, rolling around the seniors. It was a preparation that would likely take a few more days.
“I didn’t want to attack my seniors… but I’m worried about what to do to avoid getting caught.”
“Don’t you usually first think about whether you can win?”
Yoner was taken aback by his friend’s plan, assuming that he would win.
* * *
Professor Mortum chuckled and gestured.
“You may open the door.”
Creak –
The door of the bone carriage that had just landed in the Spire Stables opened, and a cackling wizard walked out.
The wizard looked sick and exhausted, like Professor Mortum.
The only difference is that Professor Mortum is shorter and this wizard is taller.
“You still don’t look well. Professor Tashwaan. “I’m worried that the Curse of Temperance research may be too harsh on wizards.”
“Cough. It’s okay. The Curse of Temperance research has been roughly completed. The reason I’m in bad shape is because of the curse I received from Prince Gonadaltes. The man who was punished for saying at a meeting that Kalarogard and Einrogard are the Empire’s two-horse chariot…” “……
”
Professor Tashwaan is a professor at Kalarogard, a magic school where the empire’s warlocks gather. At the same time, he was also an excellent warlock.
And it was difficult for the warlocks of the empire to have no relationship with the skeleton headmaster.
The Skeleton Headmaster was the only wizard who inherited the ancient tradition of black magic, and as he helped create the current empire’s magic system, he was bound to be influenced to a small or great extent.
It was at a gathering of warlocks in the Purple Mountains seven years ago that Professor Tashwaan was struck by the skeleton headmaster.
It is a fun festival-like gathering called < Night of the Warlocks >, and is a fun event where the Empire’s outstanding warlocks and even lichs who often ask ‘Are you still alive?’ participate.
The Imperial Demon Commander, who visited after a long time, made the festival even more exciting with his outspoken reviews of the various secrets of black magic and the magic of his juniors.
Professor Tashuan was so happy that he drank several glasses of strong liquor, despite his weakened body from long years of studying black magic.
Then, he was so drunk that he said something like this in front of the skeleton principal.
– Gonadaltes! I’m really happy. As a warlock of Calaroguard, one of the two-headed chariots that tow the empire like Einroguard…
-What did you just say?
The headmaster cursed Einrogard in return for his insults and stupidity (all wizards should have been able to make their own decisions and not believe false rumors).
Professor Tashwaan was worried because the curse had not yet been fully deciphered.
“Professor Tashwaan. I don’t know if this will be any consolation, but the principal is busy right now. “I probably won’t see you.”
“What a delightful story! Thank you. Professor Mortum. “It feels like my body is feeling a little more energized.”
Professor Tashuan shivered as the still cold spring night breeze licked the steeple stables. Even though I was wearing a cloak with a strong cold protection spell, I felt a chill.
“Here, have a cup of warm honey tea. “My student made it.”
“Oh…”
Professor Tas-Hwan carefully took the cup and drank the honey tea. The hot golden liquid entered my throat and warmed my body.
That wasn’t all. It even had the effect of restoring the body, perhaps because alchemy was used. Professor Tashuan asked, puzzled.
“Honey tea made by a Delet student? “I didn’t know you were also good at alchemy.”
“no. “I’m a new disciple.”
“I envy you. Professor Mortum. It looks like another outstanding student has arrived. Since Einroguard attracts the best talent in the empire, it must also attract talented people who are excellent at black magic… It is always difficult to recruit disciples in Kalaroguard. “My disciples are sincere and excellent, but there are very few new ones.”
Professor Tashwaan shook his head as he confessed the joys and sorrows of being a warlock.
Fortunately, Einrogard was the best magic school in the empire, so it seemed like a lot of talented people were coming into the black magic school.
In comparison, it was very difficult for Calarogad to find disciples.
A person who is talented in magic and is willing to devote himself to black magic at the same time is quite a rare talent.
“……”
Professor Mortum hesitated, unable to tell the truth right away.
It was difficult for Einrogard to even say that there were less than five new students in the black magic school.
“Congratulations on the arrival of so many disciples. Professor Mortum. Still, I think other warlocks will be happy to hear this story.”
Professor Tashwan was truly happy. Professor Mortum closed his eyes tightly at that sight.
Now it was as if I had completely missed my chance to speak.
“…Where are the disciples?”
Professor Mortum changed the subject. Professor Tashuan pointed to the bone carriage.
“It’s inside. “Everyone has not yet recovered from their addiction, so it will take some time to recover enough to move.”
“I think it would be best for you to go in and wait…”
“The disciples are here, so I can’t go in first.”
Professor Tashwaan smiled kindly at Professor Mortum’s words.
No matter how cold and painful it was, he couldn’t leave his disciples and go in first.
Professor Mortum grumbled inwardly at that sight.
‘You’re raising the average of professors too much.’
If the other party raises the average of Imperial professors’ personality too much, wouldn’t other professors eventually be harmed as well?
In some ways, it was a selfish act.
“…I understand. The purpose of this visit is…”
“First, the Wizard Card Club exchange match.”
“That club again? “I don’t know why wizards fall into this.”
Professor Mortum grumbled disapprovingly.
He didn’t understand why students from other magic schools would come here to play wizard cards.
Professor Tashwan also smiled as if he understood.
“I don’t really understand it either, but I guess it’s a hobby of my students. “If you whip a horse, no matter how strong it is, it won’t fall down easily.”
“The principal says you should whip a running horse… but it’s nothing. “What is your next goal?”
“Purchase reagents.”
Einrogard was a place where huge amounts of reagents were purchased and sold at the same time.
There is such a vast territory and the bizarre main building that it is impossible not to find the reagent.
Of course, it is not easily sold to the outside world as the consumption is enormous, but it is allowed as they often exchange what they need with other magic schools in the empire.
“Buy reagents… what do you need?”
“I need the wooden barrels containing the curse I mentioned last time, the poisonous insects, and the mushrooms.”
“You can take the wooden barrel right away. “Poisonous insects and mushrooms… there won’t be any of them now.”
“There is a place whose location was confirmed 11 years ago! “I plan to collect it myself.”
“indeed. Then, I will give you a disciple as your guide, so you can collect it.”
Professor Mortum said, using his quill to summarize the purpose of his visit.
Then Professor Tas-Hwan expressed his disapproval.
“Can’t you be a student other than Delet? Anyway, asking a 5th grader to do something like this is…” “
……”
This time, Professor Mortum also reflected a little.
Clearly, what the other person said was correct.
‘Then the guy I’ll be entrusting with… It’s a shame Coholti graduated. no. Even if that guy hadn’t graduated, I wouldn’t have trusted him so I wouldn’t have left him in charge. Ogoldos lacks tact…’
Treating wizards from outside was more difficult than just treating regular guests.
Ordinary guests usually visit a safe part of the school before leaving, but wizard guests visit deeper into the school.
In order to deal with these wizards, you had to be good at improvising and be able to subdue other Einroguard’s tough students.
“Hmm. “I guess I’ll leave it to Wardanaz.”
“Was there a student like that? “What grade are you in?”
“Well… don’t misunderstand.”
“What a misunderstanding!”
Professor Tashwan laughed at the other person’s words.
“I guess he’s a third year student? It’s okay. “If you are a third year student at Einrogard, you will be able to take on the role.”
Even at the best magic school in the empire, an exceptional student could serve as a guide even if he or she was in the third year.
Professor Tashwaan thought so.
“Actually, 2nd year…”
“????”
