Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 833
Episode 833
‘I think trials would be better.’
Usually, trials can be difficult and dangerous, but they always have an end.
No matter how difficult it is, you can guess how to reach the end.
But now, Shin Mok-rim was just saying that he had to find a tree branch that suited him right away, without looking at the bottom or the end.
Even though a wizard is a profession that makes the impossible possible, they can’t just do something like this without any clues…
“Is there anything that can help you?”
“You’re telling me to wander around until I’m chosen?”
“Hmm. I understand.”
Lee Han ignored Lagesa’s words and wondered which of the precognitive magic he had learned to use.
The stone point seemed to be a bit weak, and I thought I would have to use the spirit gold point or the five devil points.
‘Divinating on spirit gold coins would be impossible.’
As it required five gold coins that had gone through a special magical process (even the heads among them had to be offered to the spirits), it was difficult to use spirit gold coin fortune telling.
At least the five devil points seemed acceptable. If you didn’t guess the two fake prophecies, you were cursed with strong bad luck, but it
was better than the spirit gold coin fortune.
“Precognitive magic? It’s dangerous, kid. How many precognitive wizards have been ruined by the pleasure of looking into the future…” “
Hmm. I understand.”
Lee Han ignored it again and checked the reagents.
Among the amanita mushrooms collected during the dark moon, injections of bone fragments obtained from the demon world, etc.
Lagesa grumbled as she realized that Lee Han was letting her words slip through her ears.
“You don’t do something like that unless you get seriously injured by the Precognition magic. You’re such an arrogant brat!”
“No. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying I’m going to use it right now, I’m just confirming.”
Lee Han was not fearless. Rather, it was more than other students, not less.
How can you not be afraid that if you do something wrong, you will suffer from strong bad luck for a while?
Because of the prophecy, Lee Han paid so much attention to foresight magic that he waved his staff and chased away Gainando every time he came close.
The problem is that there seems to be no solution to finding the branch you want in the forest right now!
‘First, I’ll have to see what the other guys do.’
After finishing checking the reagents, Lee Han watched his friends do it.
If someone was lucky enough to get their hands on a suitable tree branch, I planned to look at it and use it as a reference.
Shoo!
The student who caught the mirage earlier was better off.
As the students walked around the Shinmok Forest looking for suitable tree branches, they quickly realized that the forest here was very bizarre.
Pot!
Rather than breaking a tree branch, the moment you touch it, you are transported somewhere in the forest.
with a plop!
Suddenly the cloud disappears and falls into a large puddle of water below.
“Room… I just went to a strange place. Did you guys see it too? Some kind of spirit took me and guided me into the labyrinth??”
Or, you fall into a fantasy where you keep wandering through a labyrinth.
Not only were there no hostile monsters, but this forest held a twisted mystery that was difficult to find even near Einrogard. This is not a forest cultivated by a crazy spirit king for nothing
.
“…Everyone tie each other with rope. Don’t move too far away. Carve ‘our army’s engraving’ on the back of your hand.”
Giselle, who was worse off, gathered the White Tiger Tower students who were wandering around disorderly.
Even if you were a wizard, it would be impossible to completely control the forest here, but you could still make some preparations.
They tie each other with an ever-growing magic rope, and once engraved, they
cast an engraving magic on their allies that will reveal each other’s locations until they disappear over time…
“Indeed. This method would be advantageous for long-term exploration.”
“What are you evaluating!? Come and give orders too!”
Giselle screamed in shock.
It was absurd to see the person who was supposed to be giving orders next to me sitting on a cloud and saying with interest, ‘That’s how the White Tiger Tower students move
. ‘
Lee Han, who wanted to watch a little longer, quickly made an excuse.
“Because I am the Blue Dragon Tower, I was watching and not interfering for no reason.”
‘omg. is it?’
Anrago, who was listening next to me, thought it was slightly plausible.
Certainly, if you belong to another tower, it may be difficult to step forward and give orders because you will be noticed…
“Are you saying that now?”
“Lee Han. Even to me, that doesn’t seem to make sense…”
Starting with Giselle, who sneered, even Durgyu, who usually took Lee Han’s side, expressed their disapproval.
“Woooo!”
Some White Tiger Tower students even booed.
“Wardanaz stop talking nonsense and give orders as usual! We want instructions!”
“That’s right! Wodanaz is like usual… Eok Eo Eok!”
Giselle kicked her friends who were making a fuss without feeling embarrassed.
No matter how accustomed I was to following orders from other top students, it was really ugly just now.
“Hey. Come.”
“Okay, okay. Let’s split into groups of three. I’ll give you underwater breathing and the Light of Truth enchantment… What else do you need? You don’t need to protect against pollutants, right?”
Lee Han casted a comprehensive set of enchantments available in Zeracle magic.
Anrago, who was watching, raised his hand.
“Wardanaz. I have something to tell you.”
“Oh. What is it? Is it a magic recommendation?”
“No. I told you to bring your friends. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to quickly bring the other top guys too…” “…
”
As Lee Han and Giselle looked at him with disdain, Anrago hastily made an excuse.
“Oh no! I don’t mean anything bad, I should share this opportunity with other top friends too!”
“I guess so.”
“Ha. From now on, I guess I’ll have to at least make them compete when I bring them here.”
“But isn’t Angago your second answer?
“Shut up.”
* * *
The White Tiger Tower students went around each tower and informed their friends about this happy organization.
– Oh friends! While helping Wodanaz with his work, we happened to be a benevolent tree. I met the Spirit King of! The Spirit King said, ‘Call your friends and have them break the tree branches!’ I hope you guys come and break some branches too! This is such a beautiful and mysterious place!
“Aren’t you happy about this!? I heard the Spirit King invited you and opened up the realm!?”
Gainando looked at Yoner as if he didn’t understand.
Yoner tried to explain calmly.
“So…”
“Kids! Joner is not happy at all! He’s so genius that he doesn’t need a gift from the Spirit King!”
“Woo! Woooo!”
Yoner took out a bottle of potion and swung it at his relative’s head.
With a short scream, Gainando, who had been hit by the potion that prevented him from speaking, struggled.
Then, several friends who had just jeered quickly silenced themselves.
“I am Gainando. I was just teasing you.”
“That’s right. Makin.”
“…I wanted to say that it’s not something you’ll like right now.”
“Why?”
In response to Salko’s question, Yoner said with a worried voice,
“The Spirit King is not someone who gives gifts for nothing.”
“That’s it. But… that doesn’t mean it’s not good luck. It could be that we are so caught up in Einroguard that we are ignoring the spirit’s favor.”
‘…Is that so?!”
Yoner was slightly embarrassed.
My confidence was shaken when I heard ‘You may be too much of an einrogard’, a magic word that can shake even the most confident student.
“That’s right, Makin! When will another opportunity like this come? And Wodanaz is on good terms with the spirits.”
“???”
“????”
Yoner and some friends who knew the truth had question marks on their faces.
Are you on good terms with spirits?
“You’re here, everyone. Welcome.”
“I wanted to show you this scenery together. Haha.”
As I passed through the crack and entered King Gwangmok’s domain, the waiting white tiger tower friends greeted me with a fake smile.
Seeing that, Yoner felt his guard rise even more.
…is that strange?
“Why is the prince like that?”
“I don’t know. I must have picked up something strange somewhere. I picked up and ate a hickey mushroom last time too.”
“Eup eup eup!”
“Okay, everyone, follow me here! I’ll explain!”
The White Tiger Tower students quickly led them to Shinmoklim, calling out to other tower friends who were admiring the mysterious scenery of an unfamiliar area.
And then, after finishing his explanation, he disappeared.
“…That’s why we were given the opportunity. So, bye! We have to look for it too. Good luck!”
‘That’s strange. ‘I think a lot of the story was omitted.’
Slowly, Salko was also feeling strange.
I think it was true that the Spirit King invited me and gave me the opportunity, but why do I feel like a lot of information was omitted in the meantime?
1 hour later
“Where have these tiger tower cubs gone?!”
The angry Black Turtle Tower students led the way and searched for the missing White Tiger Tower students.
Everyone was in a mess because they had been hanging from the top of the tree just a moment ago.
Of course, the White Tiger Tower students had gone somewhere in the Shinmok Forest to look for their own tree branches.
“Damn it. I was fooled! I guess that Wodanaz guy’s name wasn’t a lie, right?”
“Probably not.”
“why?”
“No matter what, would you lie in the name of Wardanaz? You will be severely retaliated against later.”
Salchow had no choice but to be convinced by Ratford’s keen guess.
“That makes sense. Damn. It’s so overwhelming. Precognition magic doesn’t work very well… Oh, Wodanaz!”
The Black Turtle Tower students shouted loudly when they spotted their friend with a tired face from afar.
“Wardanaz, no matter how good the opportunity is, you lie!”
“what are you talking about?”
“You should have told me this place is like this!”
“I told you to speak.”
“……”
“……”
Salko vowed to hang upside down the White Tiger Tower bastards who had communicated earlier.
Lee Han spoke in a tired voice.
“It looks like the White Tiger Tower guys left out a few facts. They did something pointless. Even if they didn’t tell us, they would have come anyway. They are all wizards, so there’s no way they would miss an opportunity like this.”
“?”
Some students tilted their heads.
…is it?
I think I would have worried a bit if I had heard about it in advance…
“Isn’t that true of everyone?”
“Uh huh? Of course I do.”
“I’m sure everyone thinks the same thing. Wodanaz!”
The Black Turtle Tower students and Salko exchanged glances and spoke quickly.
“I recommend that you set up a tracking method and move around in case they disperse. Contact them regularly. There’s nothing dangerous, but it’s tiring. I do
n’t know how long I’ll have to wander around.”
“Wardanaz. Have you tried the precognition spell? We tried it too, but it had no effect.”
Salko looked forward to asking his friend, the head of the Prescient Magic School.
Lee Han nodded slowly and answered.
“I tried it. I tried the Five Demon Divinations.”
“!”
The Black Turtle Tower students were surprised.
Can a second year student already cast such a difficult precognitive spell?
The surprised students were immediately convinced in less than a second.
‘Well, Wodanaz was always like that.’
‘I am indeed. ‘Why am I surprised?’
When his friends stopped being surprised, Lee Han looked slightly puzzled and continued speaking.
“I tried, but I failed.”
“As expected. It must be a highly difficult magic…”
“No. The magic was successful, but the devil returned the reagent offered. The forest here is covered with the spirit king’s madness, so I can’t tell you anything.”
“……”
“……”
The students’ mouths widened as they heard about the rejection of sacrificial offerings for the first time in their lives.
It was that time.
-The prince found a tree branch! The prince found a tree branch!!
-No, that bastard didn’t even move around, why on earth!? What is good!?
“!”
“!!!!”
Everyone was surprised when the first person to obtain a twig from the forest came out.
“It’s over there! Let’s go!”
Everyone, including Lee Han, rushed out.
Several students from Blue Dragon Tower were gathered together to look around Kainan Island. Gainando shouted, holding on to the fluttering tree branch.
“Ihan! Look at this! I got a tree branch!”
A tree branch the size of a person jumped up and hit Gainando on the head. Lee Han
panicked and called out to Lagesa.
“Is that okay?”
“In the first place, materials like that are very picky about their owners. It’s okay. If he wasn’t a good fit in the first place, he wouldn’t have been chosen. As long as he perseveres, he’ll be able to gain some recognition. By the way, wasn’t that brat a member of the royal family? Still, he had noble blood, so he was the best. “I can’t believe you found it quickly.”
“Huh? Wouldn’t it be better to find it as soon as possible?”
Lagesa chuckled and finally revealed the truth.
“It doesn’t matter where you find yourself in the forest. What matters is how much you wander around.”
“…?”
“A narrow-minded wizard is quickly visited by the forest. There is nothing left to see if he gives up right away, so he sends a suitable tree to grab his hand. On the contrary, the magnanimous wizard is, the more the forest continues to watch. It looks forward to seeing how long he can walk and wait. That’s right. Kihihi. Didn’t I tell you to move around until you were chosen?”
“Aha. Indeed.”
Lee Han opened the Echo Stone and prepared to call his crazy alter ego.
I felt like I needed to ask how to threaten the crazy forest.
