Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 121

The Talking Book belatedly made an excuse as if he had realized what his words meant.

“Of course, I didn’t mean to keep getting hurt. I just meant to come over often.”

“ah. okay.”

Lee Han relieved his discomfort and opened his pocket.

It contained things like hard rock fragments.

“It’s a gryphon’s gallstone.”

“oh…!”

Lee Han recalled the books he had read in his head.

According to what I read in the alchemy book, Griffin’s gallstone must be…?

“Does it have a strong effect on mana recovery?”

“yes. You know well.”

Lee Han became sullen.

‘It’s useless.’

It was after he had already experienced with his body that magic recovery potions had no significant effect in Professor Thunderwalk’s class. I don’t know

if it’s a mana reduction potion, but the mana recovery effect…

The talking book was taken aback by Lee Han’s reaction.

If you don’t know what this is, you don’t know what it is, but it didn’t make sense to react like that.

Unless you’re raising a griffon yourself…

“It’s a precious thing? It is a true gryphon gallstone.”

“thank you. But I haven’t had many lack of magical power…”

“Ah.”

Only then did the talking book understand Lee Han’s reaction.

Come to think of it, if a freshman had that level of magic, he wouldn’t have felt a lack of magic at all.

“Hmm… Among the demons I know, there are a few demons with the ability to absorb mana. It’s dangerous, so I can’t introduce you.”

“I will take your heart.”

Lee Han slowly stepped back and said.

As expected, since he was a demon summoned by the skeleton headmaster, it seemed that there was nothing good about being so friendly.

“You should come and play often! Let’s talk about Gonadaltes together!”

The talking book, not knowing Lee Han’s inner thoughts, waved the pages to see them off.

Durgyu said admiringly.

“Even though you are a demon who was summoned and captured by the principal, Lee Han treats you kindly. Han Lee. It must have recognized your abilities.”

Even the devil likes talented people.

So it was clear that he was being kind to Lee Han.

“It seems a bit different from that…”

However, from Lee Han’s point of view, the conversation he had just had was far from that.

That’s…

‘Because there’s no one to curse at the principal skeleton.’

Who would curse the skeleton headmaster with anyone?

There was no opponent who could do that.

Thinking so, Lee Han suddenly felt a little sorry for the book he was talking about.

How did you get involved with the skeleton headmaster!

< Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic >.

As mathematics is the foundation of all study, this lecture was also very important.

The higher the level of magic, from calculating magical power to creating magic circles and developing new magic, the more intuition and sense alone could not solve the problem.

As much as that, the students had to study hard, knowing the importance of this lecture…

‘Did you cast a sleep spell?’

Lee Han looked around.

The students were already annihilated. Gainando was snorting and nodding.

The only survivors were Asan (Asan was also stabbing the back of his hand with a quill) and Adenart (Early expressionless, Lee Han witnessed the princess casting a sleep-dispelling spell on himself) Yoner.

Lee Han took out coffee.

When I handed the coffee to Yoner, Yoner took it as precious and sipped it, like the first coffee a person received after being rescued after being stranded in the snowy mountains for several months.

“I’m so sleepy…”

Lee Han nodded.

Perhaps because of my mood, the air in the classroom seemed thin.

After drawing a water bottle on top of the figure, Yoner turned his head to change his mind.

For some reason, Lee Han seemed more upright than usual.

‘I must have stayed up all night?’

“Not sleepy?”

“I can’t sleep in the sacred lecture… I can’t. Yoner.”

“????”

Yoner was taken aback when his friend suddenly made strange noises.

what’s the matter?

‘It should look good.’

Lee Han widened his eyes.

Honestly, the professor’s voice made even Lee Han, who has a steel will, sleepy.

Its unique rhythmic voice makes people sleepy as if hypnotized.

If he hadn’t known the professor’s identity, he would have suspected the opponent of being a master of mental magic.

Alpen Knighton.

He was a professor in charge of < Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic > and was originally a high-ranking administrator of the Empire.

An imperial official who tried to cut the research budget of countless wizards and bought various grudges!

He wielded the sword to such an extent that the professors at the magic school still had a grudge.

But Lee Han was different.

‘It should look good…!’

If you are a high-ranking administrator of the empire, isn’t it one of the few positions in the empire?

There was no way that the person sitting in that seat had no connections.

What if you look good to such a professor?

– Mr. Wardanaz. Talents like you are what the Empire needs. When you graduate, come to the Empire! I’ll recommend it.

-thank you. professor!

Rather than a teacher-teacher relationship in which love and hatred are built up together in the workshop, this kind of teacher-teacher relationship in which Lee Han thinks it is a true teacher-teacher relationship in which he gives clean recommendations and does not meet after that.

To do so, he had to look good for Professor Alpen Knighton.

‘But he doesn’t seem to really care about the students.’

Lee Han was worried.

Professor Alpen Knighton was typically close to ‘I’ll go my own way, so you guys can follow on your own’.

Whether students follow the lecture or not, they do their own thing.

He must have been very satisfied with himself, so he was a more demanding type.

‘Similar to Professor Voladi, but tricky in a different way.’

Professor Voladi was not interested in students or students.

Rather, it was a problem because there was too much interest.

It was also true that they waited for the students to follow them.

I waited too far…

“What are you thinking about?”

“I was thinking about how to catch the professor’s eyes.”

“…Isn’t that enough??”

Yoner asked in a puzzled voice. Lee Han asked, puzzled.

“What is enough?”

“There’s nothing wrong with getting attention from professors, but if you get too much, I think you’ll have a hard time…”

Yoner carefully advised.

Before entering school, I never imagined that I would be giving this kind of advice to a friend.

Don’t pay too much attention to professors. what kind of advice is that

But looking at this boy from the Wodanaj family now, I couldn’t help but give him this advice.

I’m seriously worried!

“are you okay. Yoner. this much. And Professor Alpen Knighton is different from the other professors.”

“Eh… I won’t stop you if you don’t mind…”

Yoner was somehow ominous.

Why does my friend feel like he’s digging his own grave?

“…So far. Remember this equation. You’ll need it when calculating horsepower.”

Meanwhile, Professor Alpen finished his lecture.

Kainando, who had heard ‘Until here’ in his sleep, raised his head in amazement.

“it’s over? it’s over??”

“Then let’s try a simple test from now on.”

“…It’s over…”

Realizing that it ended in a different way, Gainando grabbed his head.

I looked around and saw that all the students who had collapsed until earlier had regained their senses and were in despair.

“You’re lucky.”

“How lucky?!”

Gainando was startled by Lee Han’s murmur.

Did my friend go crazy while I couldn’t see him?

Lee Han thought while ignoring Kainan Island.

‘I will definitely catch Professor Knighton’s eyes in this paper test.’

I don’t know anything else, but in math, I couldn’t be beaten by the freshmen here in this classroom.

I will definitely show you something!

Parala Rock-!

A distance was created between the stuck students, and test papers began to appear in front of them.

Lee Han tapped the side lightly.

A transparent membrane called by Professor Alpen was blocking the space. As I looked up, my vision blurred.

‘If I can’t even cheat, it must be difficult.’

After entering the magic school, it seemed that once you witnessed magic, you would begin to think about how to penetrate it.

As Lee Han thought, he heard the professor’s voice.

“If you solve everything first, you can turn it in and leave.”

‘I guess so.’

“If you can’t solve everything, you can’t leave.”

“…?”

The words were added so naturally that Lee Han almost skipped them.

But when I heard it, I noticed something strange.

‘If I can’t solve everything, I can’t go out?’

It felt a bit strange to say such an obvious thing separately like that.

Someone raised their hand and asked if Lee Han was the only student who thought so.

“professor. You mean you can’t leave until you fill in all the blanks?”

“Right.”

“phew.”

The students were relieved. Until the professor’s next words came out.

“…with the correct answer.”

“Uh… what if it’s not the right answer?”

“I’ll have to solve it until I fill it with the correct answer.”

Professor Alpen looked at the student bluntly, as if asking a trivial question.

The faces of the students who realized the situation only then turned blue.

‘I can’t go out until I get everything right??’

‘Now… uh…’

The students instinctively turned their heads and looked out the window.

After this lecture, I was going to enjoy the rest of the afternoon and enjoy the evening, but the story suddenly changed.

It was not known exactly how many hours Professor Alpen would confine them, but…

‘Could he keep them locked up until the night?’

‘You still don’t know this school?’

‘It’s not going to be locked up until tomorrow…?’

Sasasac!

Lee Han started frantically playing with the quill.

It was no longer a matter of whether or not he could catch the professor’s eye.

It was a matter of whether or not I could get out of the classroom.

* * *

‘I roughly solved it…’

Lee Han thoughtfully looked at the circles engraved on the test paper.

Because it was a magic test paper, a circle was engraved every time the correct answer was correct.

However, the last problem was holding Lee Han back.

One day, Gonadaltes received 3892 imperial gold coins from the emperor for the construction of the Imperial Vilteron Ballroom. At this time, the magic used in the Vilteron ballroom is as follows…

(omitted)

…How many imperial gold coins did Gonadaltes have left when these magics and reagents were used?

‘No matter how much I think about it, 720 is correct.’

Lee Han did not understand.

I checked the magic circle several times, checked the amount of reagents required for the magic circle, and also checked the labor cost involved in making it… Even

after checking and calculating like that, the answer did not change.

Why?

Looking around, some friends seemed to have caught up with Lee Han belatedly, and put down their quills, staring intently at the last question.

Both of them got stuck on the last problem.

‘Should I have known something rather than solving it with the information given in the problem? Is it a problem to be solved with a different idea?’

Lee Han thought about it.

Gonadaltes is the last name of the Headmaster of Skeletons.

If the skeleton headmaster received the gold coin, would he have left it and returned it to the emperor?

‘I don’t think so.’

Lee Han, who was lost in thought, wrote ‘0’ on the answer sheet without much thought.

There is no penalty even if it is wrong, so I thought I would stab it once.

Sew –

but the test paper was circled. Lee Han was shocked.

‘What is this…??’

Professor Alpen also looked away, perhaps realizing that Lee Han had solved everything.

“You’re faster than I thought. Good job. Perfect score, Mr. Wardanaj.”

Although he received the praise he so wanted, Lee Han was not happy. Rather confused.

“School… Professor.”

“Why but?”

“Can I ask you about the last question?”

“ah.”

Professor Alpen said with a slight smile on his stern face.

“It must have been fun. I wanted to give a smile to the students who were tired of exams.”

“…Oh…”

Lee Han wondered if he should revise his plan to catch the eye of the other person.
