Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 137 Lee

Han felt something strange.

Although the current situation where he had to claim that he had no talent was a bit strange, Lee Han did his best to defend him.

“Isn’t it a simple way to make a magic circle this way, relying only on a lot of magic power?”

“To be humble. It’s a virtue that is hard to find in wizards.”

“No…”

“Wait. Were you serious?”

Kendry was puzzled.

Of course, I thought Lee Han was saying it with the will of humility.

There were two types of types that excelled in making magic circles.

one is brainwave.

They were the type who excelled in the theory and structure of magic circles, and they were the ones who went in after thoroughly understanding them in their heads through thorough study before making magic circles.

one is sensory.

They were the type to create a magic circle with their senses and intuition, and even though they had little calculation or understanding, they were the ones who made magic circles with their own senses and intuition while directly flowing mana.

At first glance, the latter might have seemed simple or ignorant, but this was more difficult.

Magic circles were not created just because they had a lot of magic power.

Everything else is for the wizard to fill in.

Anyone who calls this simple or ignorant repetition doesn’t know what magic is.

If you weren’t born with a natural sense, you couldn’t make a magic circle this way, no matter how much magic power you had.

‘I heard compliments saying I fit my aptitude, but this is the first time I’m not so happy.’

He heard that he had a talent for creating magic circles, but Lee Han was more embarrassed than happy.

“The latter… I think it would be suitable for an imperial official position.”

After hearing the explanation, Lee Han passively resisted.

However, Kendrey looked at Lee Han as if she was talking about something.

“You are both.”

“yes?”

“You are both. No matter how good your senses are, a freshman’s head must be tight to complete a magic circle like this.”

Even the senses have limits.

The fact that the freshman completed it at this speed proved that he had a fairly deep theoretical understanding of the magic circle, apart from just the senses.

Even if he knew how to do only one thing, he had the qualities of an imperial official.

What if both are great?

It had to focus on magic for the future of the empire.

‘As expected, I can’t communicate like a professor’s friend.’

Lee Han quickly gave up.

Seeing such a reaction, it seemed that it would be quicker to just persuade someone else and aim for an official position.

There won’t be only people like this in the imperial bureaucracy!

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“okay. Thank you for praising our officials. Wizards usually don’t like it.”

“I like it…”

“Ha ha ha! Even jokes.”

‘I want to hit one.’

Lee Han was furious at Kendry’s attitude of ignoring freshmen because of his high status.

“Anyway… I saw something good. let me cheer you up I don’t think you should view Gonadaltes so badly for raising such a student.”

‘You can look at me badly.’

Lee Han swallowed his words inwardly. Because I didn’t know when or where Headmaster Skeleton’s ears would be.

“Call me if you need help later. It is the role of our bureaucrats to support mages like you.”

“!”

Lee Han’s face brightened.

“I will try to apply for any research at least once.”

“……”

Lee Han’s face darkened again.

He didn’t really need that kind of help.

‘Aside from research, don’t you support young mages’ startups?’

“There will be some outside guests this week, so don’t be shaken and focus. got it?”

“Are there any other people besides the priests?”

“That’s…”

Kendrey hesitated for a second, wondering if she could tell the freshman.

Lee Han lied without even breathing.

“I heard from the headmaster, but he wasn’t kidding.”

“ah. did you hear Anyway, Gonadaltes is really… true. Sorry. You shouldn’t criticize the teacher in front of the students.”

Thinking that the Headmaster Skeleton had spoken first, Kendrey opened her mouth.

“Probably because it’s the festival period, people who are interested in Einrogard are coming. Same with other magic schools… isn’t Ein Rogard famous?”

‘At another magic school?’

Lee Han hesitated.

It was an unexpected guest.

I thought there would only be priests…

“Let’s pass on what we saw today to others.”

“No… it’s okay.”

“why? The earlier you have reputation, the better. It will be useful for later research.”

“Really fine.”

‘He’s from the Wardanaz family, but he’s amazingly humble?’

Kendrey was surprised, but nodded.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with being an excellent wizard being humble.

One of the reasons why notorious mages among the imperial bureaucracy build up resentment is because of their cheeky little boys.

-The quotation description is insufficient, so you have to write it again… -You say

you don’t understand this quotation? That’s because you’re a fucking loser! this bastard! Are you jealous of me because you have no talent!? My overflowing talent?!

Thinking about that, Kendrey was amazed by Lee Han.

‘I hope they grow up like this.’

By all means, I wanted him to become an outstanding wizard just as he was.

The worldly chores would be taken care of by other people in the empire.

* * *

When the sun had completely set, Lee Han stopped working and fed the students dinner.

The students, who consumed as much magic as they could, devoured the meat as soon as it was grilled. Oil dripped down and crackled from the flames.

“Yoner. What happened to the potion?”

“I managed to check a few!”

Yoner replied brightly.

Thanks to the help of the priests of the Flement Church, he succeeded in finding out several potions.

“One was alcohol.”

“……”

Lee Han was a little dumbfounded.

‘Why did you put more than one drink in the potion box?’

Well, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand.

If you are at a magic school like this, the seniors will naturally go to alcohol.

“Anything else?”

“Transformation potion. We’ll have to check what it transforms into, but it’s probably animal-type.”

‘It’s not bad.’

It has not yet been confirmed what kind of animal it was, but it was highly likely that it would be useful if it was a transformation potion.

If it’s an animal with wings…

‘I don’t know what the sky at the magic school is like, but it’s worth a try.’

“really. The potion of self-confidence that Gainando took last time was right.”

“As expected.”

“And the potion of removing the curse. He said it was a very powerful potion. that’s right. In addition to the potion of confidence, there was also a potion of composure.”

“…!”

The students next to me also showed interest.

“A potion of calm? If you drink it…”

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous if the professor caught you?”

“You should think about not getting caught.”

The Blue Dragon Tower students were quickly adapting to the magic school.

Instead of thinking of the exam as a fight with oneself, he began to think of it as a fight with the professor.

“I’m going to check the remaining ones next week. I plan to finish checking when the priests are around.”

“thank you. Yoner. You must be busy.”

“Not more than you… Professor Thunderwalker is worried about you.”

“?”

Lee Han hesitated.

“What are you worried about?”

“I was going to call you, but you said you couldn’t call me.”

Professor Thunderstruck, who was forced to prepare something during the festival, called students who excelled in alchemy.

Of course, Yoner was also called.

The students who were called were puzzled to see that there was no Lee Han.

-Do you have Wardanaz?

-I couldn’t call her because I felt sorry for her.

“…for a moment.”

Lee Han felt a chill.

Could it be that the Headmaster Skeleton is really trying to call Lee Han?

‘for a moment. Professor Thunderwalker isn’t the kind of person who’s going to stop working because of a skeleton headmaster.’

If it wasn’t for one…

There was a vampire professor who passed through Lee Han’s mind at the moment.

“Aaaagh!”

The Blue Dragon Tower student who entered the break room first screamed. Lee Han raised his head in surprise.

“Is this the principal’s attack again!?”

“That’s not right!”

“thank god!”

‘Is it fortunate?’

Lee Han thought so and moved on.

The break room was a mess, as if a thief had been caught.

Tables and chairs had fallen and were scattered in the corners, and books on bookshelves were rolling on the floor.

My friends asked while looking at Kainan Island.

“Because of what you eat…”

“You crazy people! We were together!”

“ah. It did.”

The culprit was quickly identified.

Sharkan, who had been left in the break room to work on the magic circle, was groaning with something in his mouth.

Lee Han looked at Sharkan and spoke strongly.

“Sharkan!”

The first time he heard the owner’s angry voice, Sharkan was terrified. Powerful magic trembled and shook the summoned beast.

However, it could not be helped if it was for the poor misunderstood white horse.

Sharkan growled, holding the potion of dispelling the curse in his mouth.

“I’m sorry everyone. I should have taken Sharkan with me.”

“It’s not your fault. Because we also loved Sharkan.”

“Who would have known that Sharkan would do something like that… that! Wodanaz! Sharkhan runs away!”

Instead of reflecting, Sharkan saw an opportunity and quickly ran outside. The Blue Dragon Tower students were embarrassed and missed Sharkan.

‘I miss being a bone!’

Lee Han complained inwardly and ran.

The one who didn’t get into trouble when he was a bone started getting into trouble when he regained his body.

It was better than running to kill the owner, but such a prank was quite annoying.

“Yoner. Sharkhan stole the potion! What potion is it?”

“That’s… wait…!”

Yoner glared at the potion in the mouth of the fleeing Sharkan.

vivid green.

It was a potion to lift the curse or a potion to transform into an animal.

“Not sure! There is a similar potion…!”

In the meantime, Sharkan quickly reached the stable.

As Sharkan entered the stables, a loud noise resounded from within.

The horses all of a sudden began to howl madly as if frightened.

‘What the hell is going on?!’

Lee Han ran nervously with fear and worry.

Upon entering the stable, I immediately knew what potion Sharkan had stolen.

“…they stole the potion of transformation.”

Yoner, who arrived late, sighed in surprise.

Griffin was in the stable.

“To Griffin…!”

“okay. It must have been the potion of Griffin Transformation.”

It was natural for him to make a fuss like that since he transformed into a griffon that ate horses.

Yoner whispered to Sharkan.

“Perhaps it was a request from the horse? Monsters like Sharkhan are quite intelligent.”

“You want to find a potion that transforms?”

“huh. It could have been. That… You know. Maybe he wanted to show off his skills to you.”

Yihan immediately knew what Yoner was talking about.

Among the proud animals, there were those who somehow tried to show more of their abilities if they were ignored.

Of course, that was only seen in monsters, but a rare white horse could have had such pride.

As Yoner said, Lee Han didn’t trust him so much that the white horse, frustrated, might have asked Sharkan to find something that would make him stronger.

“Don’t apologize. I was too suspicious of you.”

The white horse, which had transformed into a griffon, raised its front paws in joy at Lee Han’s words.

pop!

When the effect of the potion he drank wore off, the griffon returned to life as a white horse. The curse was so strong that it was impossible to completely cure it with potions.

Still, Griffin was satisfied.

Because Lee Han must have finally realized his true identity!

Yoner said to appease the griffon.

“You are smart. I will trust you.”

-…Puhihing??

“By the way, Yoner. Is there any possibility that it’s not a transformation but a real griffon?”

-Pu-hee-hee! Pu-hee-hee!
