Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 117

Black Turtle Tower The students of the Black Turtle Tower didn’t notice the astonishment, and the Moradi family’s blaster nodded.

-Gainando… It’s a great name for a great talent.

“?”

-I’ll remember that name. I will meet you someday

The senior took a quill and paper and left.

A Black Turtle Tower student who came to his senses belatedly asked Lee Han in a puzzled voice.

“Whoa… Wodanaz. Is it okay to do this?”

“You said that people you meet at night don’t tell each other their names or family names.”

“……”

The students of the Black Turtle Tower were at a loss for words at Lee Han’s ability to apply what he learned from his senior in less than a minute.

I have to do this to be able to become one of the top students in my grade.

“And you. Think carefully. What family did you just say that senior was from?”

“The Moradi family.”

“If you belong to the Moradi family, do you think they will bother us later or not?”

At Lee Han’s question, the students of the Black Turtle Tower pondered.

The students of the White Tiger Tower were generally rough, noisy, and tight-knit friends.

And leading them is Giselle of the Moradi family.

Even though they seemed polite and friendly on the outside, the students belonging to Salcho’s gang were not fooled.

It is always the more vicious snake that leads the snakes.

“I think it will bother you.”

“yes. blocked it beforehand. no need to thank Please take care of me later.”

Having packed everything, Lee Han put on his backpack and left waving his hand.

Seeing that, one of the Black Turtle Tower students said to Salco.

“Tutanta. I think I know why you don’t talk to Wodanaz on your own when you’re alone.”

“me too.”

Salcho nodded.

Wardanaj’s Ability and Responsibility Friendship towards his friends was worthy of respect…

but aside from that, it didn’t change the fact that Wardanaz could strip at least one of the Black Turtle Tower students in an instant if he set his mind to it.

It was like that even for the Black Turtle Top students who had been living rough lives.

Wodanaz…

What a scary guy!

* * *

Thanks to the relatively early end of the expedition, Lee Han was able to return to the resting room of the Blue Dragon Tower and do his own thing.

I took out the groceries I brought from the kitchen and sorted them into the cupboards in my private room…

‘It’s full, so I can’t go in anymore. I’ll have to ask Yoner.’

…Sort items with a relatively short expiration date in order, fill out a ledger, and sell snacks to friends resting in the break room… no, treat them.

After that, Lee Han was able to sip coffee and start studying on his own.

In fact, it was easy to forget when living in this school, but surprisingly, the reason students entered here was to study.

‘Before I came in, I promised myself that I wouldn’t lose in studying, even if I didn’t know anything else.’

I promised to show the children of the Empire who grew up finely the madness of a person thirsty for success, but somehow I was so busy making a living that I felt like I was becoming more specialized in other fields.

Maybe it’s because of the mood?

Lee Han piled up books to study one by one.

Books to study were piled up next to Guinan, who was sleeping drooling on the sofa by the fireplace in the lounge.

Seeing this, Lee Han suddenly felt strange.

‘…Does it seem like there are a lot of things that only I have to study?’

Lee Han counted again, wondering if he was mistaken.

Professor Garcia’s < Understanding Basic Magic >.

It was announced that they would take a paper test not only for basic elemental magic, but also for other fields of magic.

Then, black magic, summoning magic, and fantasy magic were added.

Even if Professor Garcia took the test really simply, the professors of black magic, summoning magic, and fantasy magic had a different story.

As much as the students who will be in the next grade are gathered in advance and taught, there is a basic expectation from the students even if they do not take a formal quiz.

Considering that, I had to read at least two books each.

Sticking and sticking-

‘It’s not strange up to here.’

Lee Han pushed the book aside and checked the next one.

< Understanding Basic Alchemy >.

Alchemy was a field that would hurt you greatly if you tried to follow it only with your senses without studying.

Even though Lee Han has a sense of alchemy that has been forged through harsh experiments, he cannot neglect his theoretical studies.

Especially considering the students who studied alchemy before coming in, such as Yoner and Adenart Shiana, I had to work even harder.

If you take that into account, about three books…

Sticking around –

Lee Han piled up another book next to him.

< Basic vehicle training >.

The paper test was over, but Professor Lightning Walk taught every week.

Learning about the dangerous and erratic creatures at this school was not just important to escape, but also to save one’s life.

‘It’s only one book.’

It was thick, but it was only one book. Lee Han was relieved and piled them next to him.

Then < Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic >. Also < Basic Imperial Language and Logic >.

Subjects that are compulsory and require study.

The height of the book rose once more.

It seemed like it was almost over, but it wasn’t over yet.

Lee Han pulled out an additional book.

< On Basic Lightning Elemental Magic and Its Applications > given by Professor Voladi.

If I didn’t learn it because there was no paper test, I might have to learn it while being struck by lightning with my body in front of Professor Voladi. I had to study beforehand.

The black magic book that the Headmaster of Skeleton gave (forcibly).

I had to practice until I mastered < The Sharp Hand of Gonadaltes >, which I told you about the other day. Otherwise, I could be dragged away in my dreams again.

The most recently acquired < Basic Blood Magic and its Applications >.

No one said anything about not reading this, but I had to read it to survive in this school. I felt every time how helpful a useful magic would be.

Having piled up all the books, Lee Han raised his head.

Due to the book, the face of Gainando could not be seen.

“…umm.”

‘It’s strange.’

I’m sure I’ve organized only the necessary books, but why are there so many?

* * *

After dozing off in the common room, he went into the bed in the private room and slept soundly until morning. He was amazed to see Lee Han awake in the common room.

“Do you get up really early?”

“I haven’t slept.”

“……”

Cainando quietly skewered the marshmallows and took them to the bonfire to roast them until they were soft.

Then, sandwich it between hard breads and eat it.

“Why do I have to go that far…?”

“Cainan Island. You are too carefree.”

Asan of the Dalcard family also walked down with a tired expression.

Since it was the week of the paper test, he stayed up all night studying in his private room.

How much did you study to perfectly master < Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic >?

Perhaps Wodanaz stayed up all night because of that subject.

“Wardanaz. I understand. Even after doing this, I think I only understood about 80% of < Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic >.”

“That’s good enough. I still have a lot of things to study.”

Gainando, who was listening from the side, tilted his head while eating the marshmallow.

There seemed to be some misunderstanding between the two of them.

It was only right that Asan only studied that subject, as evidenced by the fact that he was holding only the < Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic > book.

In comparison, Lee Han…

‘Wasn’t there a mountain of books yesterday?’

Apparently, there were piles of books before going up, but now only one book is left.

Gainando was curious and asked.

“Where are the original books?”

“I put the books I finished studying in the private room. Because it’s cumbersome.”

“……”

Cainando dropped the marshmallow he was holding.

“Mi… aren’t you crazy?!”

“Why is it Cainan Island?”

“I heard Lee Han stayed up all night studying!”

“…that’s what everyone does. child.”

The Blue Dragon Tower students, who came out one after another belatedly, scolded Kainando.

Are you making a fuss about something you just studied?

Everyone is studying!

“No… Hey… This…”

Cainando trembled with regret.

The guys who didn’t even look at the books piled up in the break room…!

“There were so many of them…!”

“Don’t say anything strange and eat some bread.”

“Cheup.”

Gainando munched on the remaining bread and swallowed it. The bread was delicious.

“But Asan. Why did you study in a private room instead of a break room yesterday? Wouldn’t the break room be better?”

“Because you keep talking loudly in your sleep.”

“…Sorry…”

In the meantime, Lee Han read < Basic Lightning Elemental Magic and Its Applications > once more and got up from his seat.

I didn’t like it very much, but it was time to get moving to start the day.

“Wardanaz. What lecture are you taking today?”

“Basic swordsmanship.”

“I… that.”

Friends made expressions of pity at Lee Han’s words.

It must have been tough since it was the paper test week, but to hear a lecture like basic swordsmanship.

It seemed difficult just thinking about it.

“are you okay?”

“It’s fine.”

Lee Han was puzzled by his friends’ worries.

To be honest, unlike the subjects I am currently studying, the < Basic Swordsmanship > lecture was rather comfortable as I just had to go and practice it with my body.

However, the friends looked at Wardanaz’s back with worried expressions.

“Isn’t the White Tiger Tower attacking you as an excuse for the paper test?”

“Next time we see the White Tiger Tower guys, let’s warn them not to touch Wodanaz.”

The friends of the Blue Dragon’s Tower were united in friendship and determined.

If the White Tiger Tower students heard it, it was a decision that would explode in anger.

* * *

“What’s going on? The atmosphere is strange.”

Unlike the original swordsmanship lecture, the atmosphere was excited and cluttered. Lee Han was puzzled and asked Durgyu.

Durgyu said in a low voice.

“I hear someone from outside is coming for the paper test today. Lee Han.”

“!”

Lee Han seemed to understand why the White Tiger Tower students were talking with faces that were half excited and half worried.

Do people come from outside?

They were probably from the same knight family.

As students of the White Tiger Tower, all of whom were from knight families, it was inevitable that they would be nervous.

If you show embarrassing swordsmanship or make a mistake while dealing with someone…

“Everyone will be nervous. In fact, I am also nervous.”

“In that respect, I feel comfortable.”

Lee Han said confidently.

Being from a family of wizards, there was no reason to hear, ‘Why is someone from that family so bad at swordsmanship?’

Because it’s a magician’s family!

“……”

Durgyu was very embarrassed by Lee Han’s words.

“If you’re Lee Han, you won’t be ashamed to deal with guests from outside.”

“is it? I wish I hadn’t decided too soon. Do you think you wouldn’t be ashamed if I used magic while fighting?”

“……”

“It’s a joke.”

“Isn’t it?”

Durgyu returned his pale face. I was horrified when I realized that Lee Han had sincerely said such a thing.

“fist.”

With a crackling sound, Professor Ingeldell appeared.

“ruler. Nice to meet you all… Long story short, this week is a simple test to see how well the students are following along. So I brought guests from outside.”

Along with Professor Ingeldell’s words, heavily armed knights appeared from behind.

“…Are you the same age as me?”

Lee Han asked Durgyu.

Looking at the faces of the knights, it seemed that they had been on the battlefield for a decade longer than the students here.

“They might be a bit…a bit older looking…”

“The knights here are all excellent knights who are active in the Knights Order.”

“……”

The students were astonished.

Lee Han thought.

‘Professor Ingeldell seems to be doing something similar to Professor Voladi.’
