Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 82
Chapter 082
Lee Han looked at the burning puppy with an unfair expression. However, the burning puppy had already run away.
The students of the White Tiger Tower saw it and whispered with expressions of ‘I knew it’.
Lee Han was nasty for nothing.
“Cheer up, Wodanaz! Just because a dog is afraid doesn’t determine a person’s personality!”
“That’s right, Mr. Lee Han of the Wardanaz family!”
Friends from other towers cheered for me, but it didn’t make me feel any better.
‘Either he’s dirty enough to try to kill me, or he’s undead. If it’s not one of the two, I’ll have to think that they all run away.’
With a sad realization, Lee Han put his hands in the pockets of his coat and rustled. The burning puppy barked and barked.
“?”
Professor Lee Han wanted to do something.
Surprisingly, what Lee Han took out was a sweet potato. Gainando carelessly tried to walk forward, but was caught by his friends.
“come.”
Lee Han snapped his fingers and shook the sweet potato. The burning puppy stopped barking, smelled the sweet potato, and began to slowly approach.
‘It’s quite the way.’
Professor Lightningwalker smiled.
In fact, it was a class that taught how to hold out against a burning puppy with a bad temper, not a class that taught how to entice a sweet potato… but the
idea was good.
Instead of forcing or being stubborn about the monster’s reaction, flexibly guessing what the monster wants.
That was the first step in taming the monster.
The boy of the Wardanaz family knew that without being taught. Seeing you act like that…
Tak!
The moment Lee Han looked away from the flaming puppy who had approached him, distracted by the sweet potato, he quickly rushed over and hugged him.
Then he lay down so that he could not escape.
“Caught.”
“……”
Professor Lightning Walk was taken aback.
hey!
-Kong! Kreureung! kong! I’m sorry! Keeing… whimper whimper.
The puppy, which initially barked in fright, succumbed to fear within seconds. In an instant, he became a docile sheep and looked up at Lee Han.
Lee Han, lying on the floor, scratched the dog’s stomach. The puppy panted and waggled its tail.
It was a little different from the intimate taming Professor Lightning Walk had thought of, but that too was taming.
…although with fear and deceit.
“professor. see We became friendly.”
“okay. Good job. Cuddle for a long time.”
Raphael at the White Tiger Tower looked tired of seeing Lee Han hugging a burning puppy without getting up from the dirt floor.
He was a real bad guy.
Not from a family of knights, but from a noble family!
Does it have to be that poisonous to have such dark magic abilities?
* * *
“Hmm.”
how long has it been
Someone yawned. Several students yawned accordingly.
Only then did Professor Lightningwalk realize something was strange.
‘Has it been a while?’
In fact, each potion of fire resistance prepared by Professor Lightning Walk had a different duration.
This was to prevent students from looking ahead and predicting.
But, no matter how long, it wasn’t like this.
‘What…’
Professor Lightning Walk looked closely at Lee Han.
And I realized
Surprisingly, the effect of the potion had already ended. I searched for the aura of fire resistance on my body, but I couldn’t find it at all.
Lee Han was just…
pushing back the flames of the burning dog while radiating mana from his entire body.
The puppy whined and spewed out flames, but it did not come to Lee Han at all and was pushed to the floor and died away.
It wasn’t using magic to shield or other magic, but just blocking the flames with pure magic discharge.
That was not a magician’s skill, but a swordsman’s skill.
‘You look like an ignorant bastard!’
Lee Han misunderstood the gaze sent by the professor with lightning steps.
‘professor. Shouldn’t I live too?’
Lee Han also had something to say.
Isn’t it dangerous to rely on one potion in the first place and risk your life hugging a burning puppy?
As Lee Han also has instincts, he had no choice but to protect himself in his own way.
Of course, it was an extraordinary method that others could never imitate…
Lee Han did not yet realize that the potion of fire resistance was over. He thought that no matter how magically he protected his body, he would feel the heat once the potion’s effect was over.
‘But petting this puppy makes me feel strange.’
It feels like some kind of delusion of grandeur.
It was as if the confidence to be able to use fire elemental magic a little better had arisen inside.
It was similar to being convinced that I would be able to handle marbles better after being almost killed by Professor Voladi.
If the latter was unfounded, the former was unfounded.
‘…is it a trap?’
Lee Han stared at the puppy. The burning puppy panted, wagging its tail.
Lee Han seriously wondered if this puppy was cheating to get rid of his grudge against the sweet potato.
“It’s been a while since the potion ended.”
“yes? Is that true?”
At Professor Lee Han’s words, Lee Han regained his senses and was surprised.
Seeing that, Professor Lightning Walk thought to himself.
‘Next time, I’ll have to bring someone who can’t be stopped with magical power.’
Lee Han, who did not know that he had dug his own grave, asked Professor Lightning Step.
“professor. Can a flame puppy possibly hypnotize you?”
“…Did you drink alcohol rather than a potion of fire resistance?”
* * *
After hearing the explanation from Lee Han, Professor Lightning Walk said as if it was nothing special.
“It’s not hypnosis or trickery, but your understanding of the fire element has really improved.”
“haha. Is that so.”
Lee Han answered with a tone of absolute disbelief. The lightning-walking professor tried to hit one, but stopped.
“Really. You must be learning basic elemental magic right now, right? What was the most important thing when using basic elemental magic? It’s familiarity with that element.”
When using basic elemental magic, the important thing was how clearly and strongly the image of the element could be drawn.
A student who grew up in a hot and hot place to the element of fire.
A student who grew up on a seashore with waves is drawn to the element of water.
As each person is influenced by the direction in which they have lived, it was inevitable that there would be such a difference.
If you think about it upside down, if you keep coming into contact with a certain element, your understanding of that element increases.
“Theory is important, but if you’re a wizard, don’t lose sight of your intuition. Wodanaz. Your understanding of the fire element may have actually improved.”
Professor Lightningwalker said seriously.
It was Lee Han, who was dubious about it, but it wasn’t a bad story.
I only hugged the burning puppy and endured it, but my understanding of the flame element improved.
“By the way, seeing that you climb like that, you must have a talent for the fire element, right?”
“yes? I am gifted with the water element.”
Lee Han replied, puzzled. It was difficult to have all the talents of usually opposite attributes.
Professor Lightning Step replied as if he was talking about something.
“If you don’t have a talent for the fire element, you won’t gain that kind of understanding after petting a burning puppy for tens of minutes.”
“!”
Come to think of it, Lee Han didn’t have many opportunities to test his talent for the fire element.
Professor Garcia told me that it was dangerous, and I almost died after writing it incorrectly a few times outside…
What?
‘Did he actually have a talent for the fire element?’
Perhaps the experience of burning with anger toward the professor turned into a talent for the fire element.
The water element may have just gotten used to it because Professor Voladi kept harassing it…
“Wardanaz. Don’t define your own limits. It would be good to try something yourself and gain enlightenment.”
“thank you.”
“You’ll learn how to use the potion of fire resistance later. I will prepare a monster suitable for you.”
“Thank you… Hang on a second. professor! professor!”
Lee Han anxiously called for Professor Lightning Walk, but Professor Lightning Walk passed mercilessly through the students who were being beaten by the flaming puppies.
* * *
Dinner.
Lee Han was working hard sewing with Nilia. Other friends also sat and played with needles.
Everyone had burnt holes in the corners of their clothes or coats. It was a wound left by a burning puppy.
Nilia looked at the clothes Lee Han bought outside and made a thrilled expression.
It was like the expression an old craftsman makes when he sees his best student.
“You have eyes to see, Wodanaz. Good buy…!”
“It’s all thanks to your teachings.”
“It is strong, durable, and does not go in well with water. that’s right. This is how the cloth should be wrapped around the coat.”
“Come to think of it, we should be preparing for camp as well.”
I had to cross the lake to do the assignment that the Headmaster Skeleton gave me. I didn’t know if I would have to spend the night there.
“me! I know camping!”
At Lee Han’s words, Nelia raised her hand excitedly.
All the Blue Dragon Tower students exclaimed and looked at Nilia.
Seeing Nilia’s elongated ears sticking up, Lee Han suddenly felt salty.
‘It looks like the guys from the Black Turtle Tower are too rude to praise.’
Such a good friend…
“What should I prepare, Nilia? A camping tent?”
“are you okay. All you need is one coat.”
“oh. Then, how about a camping blanket on the floor?”
“are you okay. All you need is one coat.”
“…don’t you still need a blanket?”
“are you okay. All you need is one coat.”
Nylia was thrilled to share the wisdom of the Shadow Watch with her friends.
The wisdom of being able to sleep in a cold valley with only one coat on is what your friends need.
However, the complexion of the Blue Dragon Tower students was darkening.
Lee Han, who hadn’t heard, intervened.
“Nilia was joking, so don’t misunderstand everyone.”
“ha ha ha! You’re kidding! ha ha ha!”
“I thought it was a joke with 100% probability!”
Nilia looked at Lee Han as if she was talking about something.
“Isn’t that a joke? Jim only has one overcoat… yup.”
Yoner hurriedly shut Nilia’s mouth.
Although there were minor problems, the friends finished mending and preparing the clothes.
New cloaks and masks made of dark cloth will protect them in case of emergency.
Ratford said happily.
“They all look like great thieves.”
“haha. What is it?”
“You’re embarrassed.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students were at a loss for what to do with Ratford’s praise.
Are you that cool?
“It’s time. let’s go.”
Lee Han and his friends stood up from their seats.
This evening they will rob Professor Thunderwalker’s lab!
* * *
The students were divided into two groups.
With students who have already been out at night several times and students who have never been out at night.
Lee Han was, of course, the former. Now I had no hesitation in walking around school in the evening.
Natural as if you were out for a walk.
“Lee Han from the Wardanaz family. Do you have a way to open the door to each water pipe?”
Lee Han nodded.
The physical lock is by Ratford.
The magic lock is Lee Han.
‘I have already checked.’
It was easy to check the lock on the front door on the first floor as each student went in and out for class. Ratford had already made a fake key.
“Please follow me quietly.”
Lee Han said that to his friends and approached the front gate of Gaksu Hall with Ratford.
Friends cautiously followed him.
“!”
Surprisingly, there was a large hole in the front door of each water pipe. It was a hole that seemed to have been smashed by something big.
The students were amazed.
“You prepared it in advance! Amazing!”
“…what is this?”
“???”
Lee Han’s embarrassed voice startled the students in the seat.
