Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 790

Episode 790

“Professor. “In fact…”

Filled with resentment, Lee Han reported what had happened to Professor Willow.

The tree spirit that resided in this staff was truly too much to do.

Let’s say that he is an excellent spirit with many powers.

However, since it resides in the wand, shouldn’t the wizard’s circumstances be considered?

Even though Lee Han fought the king of frost giants and the king of ghouls, he grumbled and said, ‘It’s still not enough.’

At this level, it should be considered a spirit of destruction rather than a tree spirit. It seemed like he wouldn’t be satisfied until Lee Han was destroyed.

“I see.”

Professor Willow was taken aback when a boy from the Wardanaz family brought his cane to court and accused him of it.

The spirit of the wand was dissatisfied that it had not yet awakened him, so he only asked one question, but he did not expect such a long complaint to come back.

“Of course, it is difficult to maintain friendships with spirits… Even I, who has spirit blood, sometimes feel at a loss. But if you listen carefully, you can understand the spirit’s thoughts.”

“For example, the destruction of the master?”

“…I usually don’t go that far. hmm. I think… this spirit must have been a fairly high-ranking spirit.”

Professor Willow said as he looked closely at Lee Han’s wand.

The power of the majority and a strong desire to prove one’s abilities.

This was usually the appearance of a high-ranking spirit.

“But, Professor. I don’t really understand. “High-ranking spirits aren’t like this, are they?”

Lee Han didn’t understand so he asked back.

Although Lee Han was not popular among the middle and lower-level spirits, he was familiar with powerful high-ranking spirits, so he knew the difference between the two.

As the spirit becomes stronger, not only its power, but also its ego and intelligence increase, and the status of its existence itself increases.

It was the same just looking at Perkuntra.

Unlike other spirits, it has a true name, a title, spirits under its command, and domain authority.

In comparison, the spirit of Lee Han’s staff never uttered a single word or showed any clear power.

But what about a high-ranking spirit?

That sounded similar to saying that Gai Nando was an archmage of the black magic school.

“Yes. “It’s not common.”

Professor Willow continued his explanation, patting the leaves that resembled whiskers.

“But sometimes there are exceptions. They are high-ranking spirits who have lost their power due to being sealed or imprisoned. “These spirits have lost their power, but their dignity remains.”

“!”

Lee Han was surprised after hearing the professor’s explanation.

Without thinking about it, I assumed it was a low-level spirit, but the spirit of the wooden staff that passed over was actually a high-ranking spirit with a true name.

“Maybe that’s why he asked me to awaken his power. “Because you can recover your strength through resonance with the owner.”

There were many ways for a spirit that had suffered a major blow and lost its strength to recover, and one of them was to receive help from a wizard with whom it had made a contract.

If a wizard borrows and uses the feeble power left by the spirit, its power will gradually increase.

It will be a long, long journey, but at some point, once the critical point is crossed, the spirit will regain its original power with a strong resonance.

‘this. Hearing that, I feel a little sorry.’

Lee Han reflected on Professor Willow’s words.

I thought it wasn’t intentional and I couldn’t use it. I thought the cane had a really eccentric and nasty personality, but that wasn’t the case from the other person’s point of view.

As the owner, the spirit’s own strength would recover little by little if the power was used and strengthened repeatedly, but that did not happen, so how frustrating must it have been.

“Wait. professor. I don’t know anything else, but in the case of the power of stubbornness, I didn’t replace it with magic power, but the spirit said that I had to use stronger magic. To recover, don’t you have to use your powers little by little, even if you are weak?”

“If he can use his powers so flexibly, he probably isn’t a sealed spirit. In order for a high-ranking spirit to regain its level of existence, the wizard must also demonstrate abilities commensurate with it.”

The difficulty of using the tree spirit’s power was high.

As a compromise, instead of using the weak power of Wangang, Lee Han had to learn stronger magic and encounter stronger enemies to awaken Wangang’s power.

‘hmm. ‘The only thing I’m sorry about is the cancellation.’

Lee Han immediately accepted his regret.

This was not Lee Han’s fault, but the other spirit’s fault.

What does this crazy guy expect from a second-year Einrogard student?

‘At this point, it really seems like it’s not the spirit of the tree, but the spirit of destruction.’

“indeed. thank you professor.”

“Better not be too hasty in waking this thing up.”

“haha. yes. “I will keep that in mind.”

Since he had no intention of rushing, Lee Han immediately agreed with Professor Willow.

“Because the spirits sealed in this way are particularly violent and vicious.”

“Indeed… wait a minute. professor. “Aren’t all high-ranking spirits violent and vicious?”

An example was the Femo spirit.

First of all, spirits with power are basically arrogant and violent.

“Not really. The spirits have different tendencies. For example, isn’t the Thunder King who signed a contract with you, little one, gentle?”

“…?!”

Lee Han was surprised to hear that Perkuntra was noble.

Perkuntra is said to be the gentler one among the spirits??

‘It doesn’t make sense. ‘What on earth are spirits?’

“It was the oak trees that gave you this gift, right? “If the oak trees were managing it, this spirit was sealed by other spirits.”

Sealed spirits were usually divided into two.

A spirit that was sealed by the same spirits as the spirit that was sealed while fighting an evil enemy.

In the former, there were many normal spirits, but in the latter, there were many violent and vicious spirits.

If he had gone on a rampage and committed a crime, wouldn’t the same spirits have sealed him?

“Pa… Spirit of destruction!”

“?”

Professor Willow tilted his head at Lee Han’s words.

It was the first time I heard of a spirit.

“No, you’re giving me something like this. “Do those oak trees have some grudge against me?”

“ah. That’s not the case. There is a misunderstanding. “He must have reflected for a long time and lost his temper, so he gave it to the young wizard to help him and atone for it.”

“……”

Even after hearing the explanation, Lee Han didn’t feel very good.

They should take care of the troublemaker spirit’s rehabilitation on their own, so why bring Lee Han in?

“I think that with your abilities, you will be able to persuade this spirit and become friendly with it. Haha…”

“Haha haha hahaha.”

Lee Han made a decision while smiling pretentiously.

‘I guess I’ll have to ignore this spirit doctor when I make a new wand…’

“Wardanaz. “This is a red maple.”

“Right.”

“This is a blue maple. This is an ebony leaf. This is a jade maple…”

“…Until I remember maple trees by classifying them so strictly…”

Nilia, who was excited by the explanation of the greenhouse, ignored Lee Han’s words.

“What surprised me was that this greenhouse contained trees that were only found in the northern mountains. “Let’s go to the cold, dry climate zone over there!”

‘I thought you were coming with someone other than Nilia.’

Nilia, who showed me around her favorite plants, seemed to be satisfied only then and began to give a proper explanation.

“During the last lecture, each person was in charge of this garden area. I will be raising it throughout this semester. “Last week, Wardanaz’s section was divided among all the friends.”

“Nilia!”

Lee Han was slightly touched by his friends’ consideration.

Even in the dreary Einrogard, friendship like this exists.

This kind of friendship always moves people…

“…Wait a minute. “Isn’t this a sapling?”

Lee Han guessed who was the top student in his grade so he guessed what kind of plant it was just based on the shape of the leaves in the garden.

Nilia was impressed by that ability.

“Amazing? “How did you guess?”

“……”

Despite such admiration, instead of being happy, Lee Han glared at Nilia with a sense of betrayal.

“You’re planting mandragos in my garden even though I’m not there. “Isn’t that too much?”

Even though Lee Han takes his lectures at a higher level of difficulty than others, I never thought that even his friends would act like a professor.

This really felt like a betrayal.

“what? Oh no! “I’m making it too!”

Nilia, who received a ridiculous misunderstanding, jumped up and denied it.

Other friends also planted Mandragoras in their gardens.

In the first place, the sapling Professor Willow gave me was a Mandragora sapling…

“Ah. The semester assignment was just to make something. for a moment. Neilia. “I heard you didn’t do anything much earlier.”

-I didn’t do much. Since it was the first lecture, please explain what the lecture was about and show some rare and interesting plants…

Lee Han remembered what Nilia said earlier and asked.

Nilia looked puzzled and answered.

“You didn’t do anything, right? “I just received the seedlings and planted them.”

“…Nilia, you seem to have really gotten used to Einroguard. “I can’t believe you say that planting Mandragora saplings is not a big deal.”

“…!!!”

When Lee Han sighed and spoke regretfully, Nilia almost collapsed from resentment and anger for a moment.

‘hey! ‘If you say something like that…!’

It was really unfair that my friend ended with ‘You have to be careful’ and said something like that even though a crazy clone was targeting the outskirts of the territory.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!

“what’s the matter?”

“…Nothing. look. “I’ll teach you how to take care of Mandragora saplings.”

Lee Han nodded and listened.

Although I learned it from books, it would have been much better to hear it from Nilia, who had heard it directly from Professor Willow.

“First, give me water like this.”

Nilia filled a bucket of water into a watering can and began to sprinkle it on the Mandragora sapling.

“Give me water…”

Lee Han, who was taking notes, suddenly felt puzzled.

‘Can’t I just use water magic?’

Unlike Gainando, who was not good at using water magic, Nilia knew how to use both spirit and basic water magic.

But why do you move your hands like that?

“Right. Mandragora likes pure water, not water that has been touched by magic. “I didn’t know.”

“uh? “What are you talking about?”

Nilia perked up her ears, not knowing what her friend was talking about.

“I didn’t use magic to bring water, but I had to use a bucket to get it from the stream…” “

Ah. that.”

Nilia, who had already emptied the watering can, straightened her back and filled the watering can again.

“I have to use this bucket five times, so I’m saving my magic power. “It’s a waste to use magic because I drink so much water.”

“…I’ll just bring water.”

When Lee Han brought water, Nilia looked like she was so happy for her friend.

I always felt it, but when the boy of the Wardanaz family had the greatest presence, it was when he was doing simple repetitive labor like this.

with a splash!

A lump of water called into the air continued to fill the bucket. The work progressed quickly.

“Huh huh. good. “Roughly, this would have filled my throat.”

Nilia said while sweating profusely.

Mandragora’s leaves became moist, but Nilia seemed to have dried slightly in the meantime.

“Why don’t you drink some water?”

“ah. I’ll finish it and drink it. I don’t have time for that. ruler. Next, we have to catch the magic aphids. Because Mandragora appears when you drink all the water. Is this guy transparent? So, we need to make this potion and make it reveal itself.”

Nilia filled the watering can with the potion and began looking for pests hiding near the seedlings.

Lee Han shook his head at the sight of Nilia moving non-stop in the hot and humid air of the greenhouse.

“I guess this course isn’t usually difficult.”

“What are you talking about? “This is an easy course.”

“Does that sound come from working continuously without stopping before the lecture starts?”

“But Wardanaz, what are you doing while taking many more difficult lectures than this? Last year, you managed the vegetable garden and the stables every morning. This year, you joined several clubs…” “

……”

Lee Han, who had been hit by his friend, turned the watering can towards Nilia.
