Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 867

Chapter 867:

Dragons were a species with a strong impression of being basically greedy.

It’s not for nothing that old stories feature people who go to a dragon’s nest, try to steal treasure, and are severely punished.

But this is just the impression of people who don’t know much.

To be precise, dragons were a race with a very firm awareness of their possessions rather than being greedy.

‘It’s a bit far-fetched to say that dragons are greedy after seeing the people who entered the dragon’s nest and were punished.’

A person who enters someone else’s nest and steals is a greedy beggar, not a dragon.

Even if the dragon’s hobby was collecting gold and silver treasures, thieves had no right to steal them.

Even if Lee Han was a dragon, it was clear that he would have been furious and run amok.

‘He only strictly protected the ownership of his property, but he left the impression that he was greedy. Is the number of races really important?’

Because the number of dragons was so small and most of them were reclusive, there was no way to stop them even if the rest of the races on the continent spread false rumors as they pleased.

Lee Han secretly lamented the rumored situation in the empire, which was governed by majority rule.

“Dragons are just protecting their treasures, but they are misunderstood as being greedy. “It is truly a pity.”

lol.

Jo Woo-rin scratched his cheek with his front paw and laughed as Lee Han took his side.

Yukveltyre responded as if he didn’t really care about the dragon’s rumors.

“Rumors from people who don’t know anything are meaningless. “The important thing is that the dragon never gives up what he owns.”

Hmph.

Jo Woo-rin became sullen again. And then he whispered to Lee Han.

Lee Han. This last one must be kept a secret…

“What’s a secret?”

Yukveltire heard the whisper and turned his head in confusion. Lee Han quickly looked around.

“it’s nothing. “I’m asking you to keep my swearing at Professor Verdus a secret.”

“There’s no need to keep that a secret at all.”

Lee Han, who completely deceived Yukveltire, appeased Jo Woo-rin again.

“Your Highness, don’t be too swayed by your words. Basically, everyone has different personalities, right? You don’t have to worry about people saying this is how dragons should be. “Be your Majesty and be your Majesty.”

Lee Han!

Jo Woo-rin, moved, opened his eyes wide.

Then can I give you another gift next time?

“Absolutely not. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

……

Jo Woo-rin puffed out his cheeks with a dissatisfied expression.

Isn’t that different from what I just said!

* * *

After leaving the lecture room, Professor Jo Woo-rin of Ihan Direth Yukbeltire Boladi stood tall in the middle of the hallway.

Lee Han thought to himself.

‘It’s a combination I really don’t want to approach.’

If Lee Han had been another student, the moment he was seen, he would have cast an invisibility spell and thrown himself out the window to create distance.

It was a terrible combination that made it impossible to guess what kind of accident would happen around them.

“Is the next lecture ‘Wand Materials and Magic Amplification’?”

“yes.”

As it was Professor Verdus’ lecture, Yukveltyre knew Lee Han’s next timetable.

“There’s no need to go, right?”

“Yes…”

Lee Han responded, looking at his eyes.

Normally, I could boast that I had already finished a semester of lectures, but right before my eyes, there was a victim who had been usurped by the professor to make a wand, which I had been looking forward to.

Jo Woo-rin tried to scold me.

Jo Woo-rin swung his front paw and said.

“majesty. If so…”

You don’t have to worry. Lee Han. Jo Woo-rin is a noble member of the royal family, so I won’t attack him arbitrarily!

“no. “I was going to say that if you did that, you could hit me.”

…?!

Yukveltyre continued with an expressionless face.

“Then the lecture time is free. “I have a recommendation.”

“?”

Lee Han and Delet tilted their heads at the same time.

Does Yukveltire have any recommendations?

“What are you recommending?”

“well. Yukveltyre is definitely not the person to give advice to juniors…?”

Delet was also embarrassed. This is very different from Yukbeltire’s usual attitude.

“Magic drafting machine. Since you are taking ‘Magic Algebra and Esoteric Geometry’, you will need to have a usable drafting machine.”

‘oh.’

A drafting machine was a tool used for drawing, including simple tools such as rulers and protractors as well as compasses and dividers.

No matter how much the magicians complete the magic circle of immortality in their minds and build the building, they must at least show it as a picture to receive gold coins from the empire’s investors.

With an ordinary drafting machine, the wizard had to draw and calculate everything, but a good magic drafting machine was a convenient item that eliminated this cumbersome process.

A truly excellent magic drafting machine was no better than a highly intelligent spirit, or even contained a highly intelligent spirit at all.

Lee Han asked with eyes full of anticipation, as he knew that Yukbeltire was one of the best enchantment wizards in Einroguard, which is full of geniuses.

“Is your senior giving you a gift?”

“no. “I don’t have anything.”

“…”

He’s more petty than Jo Woo-rin…

Jo Woo-rin even muttered with a look of disappointment. I can’t believe you said that and couldn’t give me even a single treasure.

Even Professor Boladi said something.

“If you don’t have the ingredients, I will help you.”

Yukveltire’s eyelashes fluttered slightly at the party’s reaction.

Although I didn’t realize it, the effects of Professor Verdus’ hijacking of the wand creation were still there.

“…There is no need for that. Keep listening. A junior of the Wardanaz family. I don’t have anything, but there is a way to get it. “I know where it is.”

“aha.”

Lee Han put aside his disappointment and looked at him with anticipation again.

In fact, in Einrogard, knowing where something was was not much different from having it.

‘Knowledge is power.’

The stealing position is bound to be much more advantageous.

“Let’s go.”

Professor Boladi also seemed to think it was a good idea and expressed his agreement. Lee Han paused.

“…Uh, Professor. “Can I take His Highness Jo Woo-rin to the location transfer site?”

“I guess it doesn’t matter because you’re going there to do something, not get robbed.”

‘shit. ‘Am I persuaded by greed?’

Lee Han was wary of being strangely persuaded by Professor Boladi’s logic.

I almost wondered if I was being persuaded because I wanted the treasure.

Lee Han. I really want to go with Jo Woo-rin…

“No… that’s… um… yes. Let’s go.”

Lee Han, who couldn’t bear to say ‘I’m going to steal’ in front of the young dragon, eventually nodded.

Meanwhile, Delet asked his friend.

“It’s an artifact that you would say is useful, but it’s somewhere else in the school. Isn’t it interesting? “Where are you?”

“Seonggak-gwan.”

“……”

Seonggak-gwan.

In other words, it was Professor Verdus’ magic tower.

‘You’re right you’re angry…!’

Delet shouted inwardly.

No matter how much I thought about it, if it weren’t for my anger towards Professor Verdus, there was no way I would suddenly develop a sense of consideration for my junior, whom I had never cared for in my life.

* * *

However, the party proceeded to Seonggak-gwan without hesitation. Because no one felt guilty about robbing Professor Verdus.

‘…Should Professor Garcia have been there…?’

Delet thought that to himself.

Of course, if Delet was asked, ‘Professor Verdus, if you could take as much as you want from the Magic Tower, would you take it or not?’, it seemed like he would give it some thought before taking it.

But now, seeing him actively destroying the magic tower’s defenses like Professor Boladi, I wondered if I was doing something wrong.

Can I do this?

Kwasik!

Only the core part of the defense golem collapsed and scattered in all directions. A powerful recovery spell attempted to restore the golem, but Professor Boladi’s additional disruption spell disrupted the process.

The defense golem that had just fallen was no ordinary golem. This golem was made using high-purity moonstone and magnetite, and it took a huge amount of money to make each one.

These golems were operable because Professor Verdus focused only on his own research without giving a single penny to his students.

Professor Boladi took down those expensive golems in the most efficient way. The sight was reminiscent of a great warrior falling to the ground after being stoned by a shepherd.

wow!

“The professor’s magic is the ultimate in efficiency.”

‘…Can this really happen?!’

Seeing Jo Woo-rin and Lee Han chatting excitedly, Dilet felt conflicted inside once again.

It’s good to brush it off, but I don’t think the professor should do this…

“Yukbeltyre. what do you think about it?”

“The defense has gone up even further.”

Because he had been through a lot of rough times recently, Professor Verdus had raised Seongakgwan’s defenses even higher.

He was grabbed by the collar by a professor and his valuables were stolen by a student.

In a way, this reaction was natural.

…Of course, Delet wasn’t asking that.

“done. “I’m an idiot when it comes to water.”

“??”

Grumbling –

While they were talking, Professor Boladi destroyed all the defense golems on the first basement floor. Jo Woo-rin and Lee Han were so moved that they clapped at the same time.

‘This is a professor!’

If it had been Lee Han, he would have done everything to break through that defense with his strength, but he approached quickly, struck only the vital area, and then quickly disrupted the restoration magic.

I thought that this would be enough to win over other professors.

“ah.”

Professor Boladi suddenly stopped and checked his surroundings as if he was looking for something. Lee Han asked, puzzled.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I should have left one, but I made a mistake.”

Since the golems had such high combat power, even Professor Boladi could not relax. If the golems showed their full power, they would be torn apart as if they were caught between gears.

“Why do you need one?”

“Wasn’t it something you wanted to deal with?”

wow!

“Wow, no. majesty.”

Lee Han immediately stopped Jo Woo-rin.

Jo Woo-rin probably expected Lee Han to fight like Professor Boladi, but that was nonsense.

“I’m not there yet.”

But Lee Han is also a very talented wizard…

“Hmm.”

Seeing Professor Boladi next to him look briefly worried about Jo Woo-rin’s words made Lee Han’s heart sink.

‘I never thought I’d have to go without Professor Baggrek!’

With deep regret, Lee Han stopped Jo Woo-rin again.

“I’m not like that. The school year is also low. “It’s hard to even take care of myself in Einrogard.”

“That’s not it.”

“I don’t think so.”

“……”

Lee Han felt a headache as not only Professor Boladi but also Yukbeltire came out.

It was a truly terrible combination.

“Seniors. Please tell me the way. “I want to finish my work and leave before Professor Verdus comes.”

“This way.”

Yukveltyre led the way, moving leisurely through the devastated basement level.

When Yukbeltyre kept stopping while walking down the street, Lee Han asked a question out of curiosity.

“Is there a problem?”

“no. “Let’s move.”

“…If you are happy to see this sight, you can look more.”

Lee Han quietly recommended.

If Lee Han was Yukveltire, he would have spent about an hour admiring the now completely destroyed basement level before moving on.

“There’s no reason for that.”

“Let’s leave this as a picture, right?”

Direth nodded at Lee Han’s whisper. Direth thought this was worth recording.
