Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 102

When the water spirit ran away, Lee Han stopped casting his spell and shouted.

“Stand there now!”

After all, it was the fault of the water spirits in the lake.

If I hadn’t come this early, I would have been able to check everything by slowly putting the white tiger tower guys on the sandy beach!

“It’s a bit risky to fight the spirits with Wordanaz injured…!”

Dukemar, who was trying to stop him, changed his mind after seeing the spirit run away.

“no! It’s not dangerous! Let’s chase! Ang!”

“Wait a minute!”

Anrago hurriedly wrapped the food in leather. It was too precious to just throw it away.

“Follow him! He must be a subordinate of the principal!”

Lee Han commanded in a voice cooler than the chill of the darkening night.

The two White Tiger Tower students ran out as if they were villains.

…I felt like I was doing something bad, even though I was obviously not doing anything bad.

* * *

Angrago turned left. The orb made of water flew sharply, but I was able to dodge it by the edge.

Dukemar turned right. A thorn made of water flew in, but I was able to dodge it because my head was low.

‘The water spirits’ attacks are really simple.’

Lee Han thought so and approached from the middle. The water spirit also attacked Lee Han. Instead of avoiding it, Lee Han summoned a ball of water and bounced it off.

The Undead Summoner of the Sandy Beach, Jorvan II, was a big and powerful guy, but even a low-level water spirit like that couldn’t defeat Lee Han head-on.

As Lee Han, emitting bloody magic, approached, the water spirit trembled and panicked.

“Don’t run away. spirit of water. I have no intention of harming you.”

“…?”

Angrago, who was aiming at the water spirit with a wooden sword, thought to himself.

‘Wouldn’t you believe anything you hear in this situation?’

If Anrago is a water spirit, I don’t think I’ll ever believe it…

“I’m sure he’s an underling of the Headmaster Skeleton. yes?”

The water spirit shook its head quickly.

Although they didn’t have the skills to talk to the spirits, the students at the White Tiger Tower seemed to know what the water spirit was trying to say.

‘That’s absolutely not the case.’

The water spirit basically aroused sympathy in the viewer.

The round-shaped mass of water exudes the aura of soft water and soothes people’s hostility.

But Lee Han did not waver.

“Don’t think of fooling me. Headmaster Skeleton must have ordered that.”

“…!”

Dukemar was surprised.

Was it like that?

However, the water spirit shook its head desperately again. Lee Han coldly pointed out.

“Then why didn’t they attack us as we crossed the lake? They also attacked those who were resting?”

“Right…!”

The two students had no choice but to agree with Lee Han’s logical point.

Certainly, it was strange for the water spirit to follow and attack so persistently.

The water spirit pointed at Lee Han while shaking his body.

“?”

“what?”

The two couldn’t figure out why the water spirit was doing that.

Of course, Lee Han knew.

‘They’re saying that they thought I came to attack them…’

With that said, Lee Han had nothing to say.

Because it was Lee Han who brutally released his mana on the lake first.

“Wardanaz. What is that spirit saying?”

“He thought you were attacking him because you stabbed him with a paddle.”

“Kuk.”

Anrago had nothing to say to the water spirit.

“That was a mistake. If I had known there was a water spirit, I would have been much more careful. I just want you to believe that…”

The water spirit was taken aback as if asking what to say about Angrago’s excuse.

You said Lee Han was scary, but what did you mean by that?

Lee Han nodded instead.

“I can make mistakes, so I understand.”

“thank god…!”

“But even so, at the lake, they would be inexcusable for attacking us while we were resting.”

Since there is nothing good to talk about at the lake at length, Lee Han moved on to the next topic.

The water spirit fell for Lee Han’s evil plan.

I forgot to mention what had happened at the lake and pointed right at the campfire.

“You said it was because you left the lights on at night?”

“What the…!”

The White Tiger Tower students were angry.

Of course, the spirits could be resentful that the intruders were cooking fires and smelling.

But instead of warning you with nice words, you’re trying to attack first.

Even so, isn’t it too violent a reaction!

The water spirit shuddered in embarrassment. It meant I misunderstood.

The spirit pointed to the bonfire, then to the scorched marks, and to Yihan’s staff.

The two didn’t understand this time either, but Lee Han understood right away.

‘hmm. He was angry because I burned them down.’

The fire he had set off while dealing with the undead summons burned the surroundings and made the nearby water muddy.

As a water spirit that was resting, it had no choice but to be angry.

“What is that spirit saying, Wodanaz?”

“I sincerely apologize for my narrow-minded behavior.”

“joy. … will you forgive me?”

“okay. Because the opponent is a spirit.”

The students of the two white tiger towers decided to greatly patronize.

Unlike the undead, spirits were difficult to treat harshly. Especially if it was a water spirit.

The spirit glared at Lee Han as if he sensed something was going on in the conversation.

Lee Han pretended not to see it and ignored it.

* * *

The water spirit was not a subordinate of the Skeleton Principal, but was a distant witness when the Skeleton Principal visited the island.

Following the spirit’s guidance, Lee Han asked.

“Exactly which spell did the headmaster use?”

Lee-Han may not know all of the Skeleton Principal’s magic, but it would be much easier if he could find out in advance what kind of magic he had.

Even though the water spirit couldn’t speak, it swelled up and changed its body to explain it diligently.

‘tomb? seal? Lock?’

After making a small tomb, he made several bands to signify a seal on it, and even something like a lock.

Lee Han had a vague sense of what the spirit was trying to say.

‘The principal locked him up.’

There was only one thing to keep locked up.

It was an outing ticket.

‘It wouldn’t be strange if anything happened when I approached.’

Lee Han closed his eyes and tried to imagine the principal’s mind.

If I were the principal, how would I make it?

‘A place where you have the right to go out after making a dungeon of trials in the basement of the sandy beach and passing through the dungeon. It’s a thought worthy of a principal.’

And if the place had been locked, it would have been an even better idea for the headmaster.

How desperate would it be if the right to go out at the end of the dungeon at the end of it was locked when they managed to get out of the sandy beach underground dungeon by working together despite all kinds of hardships.

It was a situation that the principal would have liked.

“Wodanaz over there!”

Anrago whispered in a surprised voice.

Beyond the place where the water spirit stopped moving, there really was a place the headmaster had created.

It was a place built with stone that gave off a small but antique feel.

For some reason, Lee Han felt that it was like a temple.

A stone stairway leading to the basement (seems to be connected to the Dungeon Under the Sandy Beach). Large hollow stone pillars arranged on all sides with geometrical rules. And to the altar located in the middle.

Of course, what was inside the altar would be the right to go out, not the scapegoat.

‘How do I let these two go first?’

Lee Han pondered how to let Anrago and Dukema in first.

In order to find out the principal’s trap, a scapegoat or an advance party was needed.

“Wardanaz. I will go first.”

“Ang. Are you insulting me now? I will go first.”

“Dukema. It’s my fault that this situation happened. It’s because I made the water spirit angry.”

“Ang. You have completed all your duties by building and driving a ship. In contrast, I did nothing. If I don’t step forward now, my honor as a knight will…”

Lee Han yawned. and tossed a coin

Tak-

“Front. Ango Alpha. you go.”

“…Ughhhhhhhhhh.”

Anrago walked forward with a puzzled look on his face.

Originally, he intended to go in first for Wodanaz, who injured his arm, but why is this puzzling feeling?

‘If you’re coming, come!’

Anrago swallowed his spleen feeling and looked around.

Even if you come from a family of knights, you will grow up hearing about magic traps to some extent.

Anrago was prepared to hold out no matter what traps were set off.

However, the trap did not trigger.

Even when stepping on a floor made of stone that was well filled with the size.

Even when I passed between the stone pillars and made my way to the front of the altar.

Lee Han was a little surprised by that appearance.

‘Did the Headmaster Skeleton prepare it to be activated when two humans… went up?’

If there were no traps, I felt anxious as if there were no traps.

Lee Han was also concentrating on exploring the magic or mana around him.

But nothing was felt.

Either there really isn’t one, or the skeleton principal’s skills are so good that it’s hard for Yihan to notice.

‘Perhaps the latter.’

In fact, it didn’t really hang. I don’t know anything else, but if it’s a sensuous part like this, Lee Han can have confidence in himself.

Not only the professors, but also the Headmaster Skeleton had admired it.

But Lee Han didn’t think so.

It can’t be!

Headmaster Skeleton must have done something!

“Wardanaz. Here’s a note from the principal…”

“What is written on it? Is it written that the trap will now begin?”

“no. Not like that.”

-Congratulations on coming this far. young freshmen. You may have been embarrassed by the sudden ordeal, but all of this is a process for raising you young wizards.

‘You’re unpleasantly kind.’

Lee Han thought to himself. I felt even more afraid when the skeleton headmaster spoke kindly like that.

-Coming this far, you freshmen must have learned how to cooperate with friends from different towers. Now, let’s try the last cooperation with the method we learned. If you put someone else inside the stone pillar, the seal on the altar containing the exit ticket will be broken!

The three turned their heads and looked to the side. The large stone pillars were hollow inside, enough for one person to enter.

If you’re putting people in there and locking them up…

whether the altar is open or not, isn’t that far from the right to go out?

“This is nonsense! There must be some other way!”

Dukemar burst into anger.

Coming from a family of knights, I couldn’t tolerate the trap of separating students who worked so hard to pass the ordeal together.

Surely there must be another way!

‘I don’t think so.’

In contrast, Lee Han was calm.

I wasn’t surprised at all because it was really something that the Headmaster Skeleton would like.

Even if many people work together, only one person gets what he wants in the end! If it’s unfair, I’ll improve my skills…

‘I’ll say bullshit.’

Lee Han was worried.

Should I take down Dukemar first or Anrago first?

Thanks to the arrival of the three at the altar where two would normally have arrived, Lee Han was at a disadvantage.

Besides, isn’t Lee Han injured on one arm now?

In order to win, I had to hit the white tigers before they could attack.

“Wardanaz!”

Duke Mar shouted. Lee Han hesitated.

‘Did he get caught?’

“Dry Ango!”

“!”

When I looked up, Anrago was running toward the stone pillar.

Lee Han pondered for a moment whether he should stop it or leave it as if he couldn’t win.
