Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 075

“It’s just pure academic curiosity.”

Lee Han was good at fooling the professor.

Even though he was one of the Empire’s most famous explorers, Professor Lightningwalker, he could never have imagined that Lee Han was looking for a flying mount to escape school.

“I can get it… I guess.”

Prof. Lee Han looked carefully at Lee Han’s expression to see if he had noticed.

Fortunately, the boy from the Wodanaz family didn’t seem to know.

One of the horses in the stable that the freshmen take care of is a griffon!

“Because this school is so large that there is nothing missing.”

“Aren’t there any considerations for warm meals or daily necessities for students?”

Professor Lightning Walk pretended not to hear Lee Han’s words and ignored them.

“There’s nothing like mountains, lakes, underground dungeons, etc., but if you look for them, there’s no way there won’t be flying ones.”

“If I find it, can I tame it?”

“That seems difficult. Taming wild monsters and flying ones is a difficult task even for trainers who have been trained for years.”

Professor Lightning Step said with sincerity.

If taming were that easy, people wouldn’t bother choosing to fight monsters out there.

Besides, most of the guys who knew how to fly were picky and rough.

It was difficult to handle with the tenacity and knowledge of a freshman.

“First of all, you have to fully understand who your opponent is. Not with common knowledge. If you know his habits, you will get to know him little by little and understand his characteristics… Even if the words sound simple, you will fail dozens of times in the process.”

“professor. If possible, would you like to take lessons in your spare time? Of course, I don’t intend to do anything reckless right now…”

It was a lie.

From the moment Lee Han made the decision that he could do it, he planned to move.

“…If I ever get a chance to tame a monster in the future, I don’t want to miss it.”

Lee Han’s eyes were burning like fire. It was sincere eyes without any pretense.

Seeing those pupils, Professor Lightning Walk suddenly became motivated.

When a disciple shows such interest, as a teacher, it is impossible to remain still.

“good night! Let me teach you in my spare time. No regrets. It’s not usually a difficult study.”

It was a difficult study where you had to memorize thick books about monsters that would appear in this area and then face it with your own body, but Professor Lightning Walk thought that this boy from the Wodanaz family would be fine.

If you have that much interest and passion, it’s possible.

‘You must be interested in flying or exploring. That guy…’

‘Find the most likely beast, tame it, and then escape.’

The master and disciple nodded their heads while thinking about each other.

After the conversation, Professor Lightning Walk trudged to take a look at the vegetable garden Lee Han had finished working on.

And I was surprised.

‘No, what is this…?’

The vegetable garden Lee Han received from Professor Thunderwalk was of a suitable size, neither extremely wide nor extremely narrow.

Professor Wooregeol must have thought that Lee Han would plant some vegetables and take them with him.

However, Lee Han’s vegetable garden was being run so thoroughly that not a single remnant was left.

There were various edible vegetables such as carrots, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage, as well as herbs that could be used as medicines, such as chamomile and basil and rosemary.

…to start a farm?!

Lee Han replied as if he was okay, as if he had noticed the professor’s eyes.

“I was worried at first too.”

“…what?”

“Is it okay to grow this narrowly? However, thanks to the Tree Spirit’s staff, it seems to grow well without any problems. Aren’t you really lucky?”

Professor Lightningwalker looked at the jug of milk on the table.

It was a jar that Lee Han had packed to hold on his way home.

Seeing what I’m working on right now, I don’t think that’s going to work.

“…Wait. I’d rather go back and eat something.”

“??”

* * *

Lee Han took a bite of the baked potato on a wooden skewer and headed for the dormitory.

It was a romantic evening if you forgot the fact that it was inside a magic school.

On one arm hung a basket containing the harvest this time, and on the other arm was a skewer of freshly baked, salted potatoes… It was like a farmer returning

home after a plentiful shopping spree.

‘It would be nice to live like this when I retire later.’

Perhaps because of the atmosphere, the new potatoes were really delicious. Even though it was just grilled and salted, it felt like the warm eggs melted away with just one bite.

It was a taste that made me understand why Professor Lightning Walk bothered to bake it and hold it in his hand.

‘Is it regrettable to eat such delicious food alone? Maybe he just wanted to brag…’

Lee Han didn’t even realize that the potatoes that Professor Lightning Walk had baked were from his own garden.

“?”

“Your Highness, Princess. I brought the materials from the library and organized them. Please accept it.”

“I have also asked other students to organize what I need for assignments! it will help.”

“There is a book I found this time…”

‘What is it?’

It was the princess and her followers.

Freshmen gathered from all over the tower were sparing no effort to help the princess in the lecture.

Lee Han was surprised as he munched potatoes.

‘Is there such a way!’

It was an enviable method to the point of wanting to report to the professors, ‘The princess is exploiting her classmates with undue power.’

Lee Han and his friends searched for books in the library all night, but it wasn’t enough, but the princess just breathes quietly and information rolls in like that.

‘Is it because of the royal blood? But if that’s the case, Cainando is not explained. How the hell do I get followers like that?’

While Lee Han was thinking about that, the princess thanked her followers and then walked up together.

Lee Han, who was munching potatoes on the stairs and looking around, met his friends’ eyes.

“Good evening.”

Lee Han was not taken aback. The followers of the princess recognized Lee Han’s face and hurriedly lowered their heads.

Wasn’t he the boy of the Wodanaz family, who practically ruled the Blue Dragon’s Tower?

If they looked wrong, the life of the princess living in the tower of the blue dragon could become difficult, so it was only natural to notice them.

“Meet Wardanaz!”

When someone shouted that, the other students looked at the friend in bewilderment.

Should we sing along?

“Meet Wardanaz!”

“Whoa… Meet Mr. Wardanaz!”

“……”

Lee Han looked around involuntarily. Fortunately, there were no eyes to see.

‘If anyone sees it, there’s nothing wrong, but I’ll go to the punishment room.’

I don’t know why the followers were doing that to fuck Lee Han, but Lee Han answered as calmly as possible.

“Nice to meet you all. You must have talked with Her Highness, the princess.”

“yes!”

“I just want to thank Wodanaz for her hard work, who is always devoted to Her Highness the Princess.”

“I wish you all the best in the future!”

‘If you don’t take care of these bastards, won’t they attack you?’

Fanatic supporters are always scary. Besides, the princess’s supporters were outside the magic school.

Even after graduating, I had to put up with their unreasonable pressure considering that I would have a social life.

“of course. do not worry.”

Lee Han did not bother to say that he would receive more silver coins for taking care of the princess.

‘I’d better change the topic.’

If the story of taking care of the princess was prolonged, Lee Han’s unfair profits could come up as a topic. Lee Han changed the topic.

“You all probably haven’t even had dinner, so would you like some?”

“…?”

Only then did the followers of the princess realize that Lee Han was carrying something. Even taking one of them out and sticking it out.

It was a baked potato.

The sight of a cold-looking boy with a chiseled face serving freshly baked potatoes on a skewer made the students perplexed.

‘Aristocratic… is this a joke?’

‘Is it okay to eat it?’

‘Isn’t this a test?’

“Aren’t you eating?”

“Are you going to eat well?”

One of the students seemed hungry and reached out to take a baked potato.

Lee Han hand-sprinkled salt on it. The student was nervous at the moment, thinking that it was not salt, but magic potion powder.

‘ah. It’s salt.’

“Are you okay?”

“Taste… delicious!”

It wasn’t because I noticed the boy of the Wodanaz family, but the freshly baked potatoes were objectively delicious.

The student who received the potato ate it with a spoonful, burning the roof of his mouth and choking.

“Drink some milk here.”

“Persimmon… Thank you.”

The student, who put a hot potato into his stomach, suddenly felt Lee Han’s cold impression soften.

…is it a magic potato?

“Maybe we…?”

“okay. You may eat.”

The hesitant followers slowly reached out and picked up the baked potatoes.

Under the warm evening sunlight, the new students of the magic school were able to get to know each other better while eating baked potatoes.

“Let’s give Her Highness the Princess too!”

“What kind of ridiculous rudeness… what if Her Highness, the princess, gets angry!”

One of the students was about to offer potatoes to the princess, but after hearing what the other friends said, he put his hand down.

Lee Han felt that the expression of the princess, who had been standing bluntly, had become sullen for some reason.

Like a hungry Cainando…

‘That was too harsh an analogy.’

Lee Han reflected.

Come to think of it, the princess hadn’t even eaten breakfast this morning.

Lee Han took a baked potato and held it out so that no one else could see it.

“It looks like there will be some leftovers, but at least taste it…”

The students couldn’t see it because their backs were turned away, but Lee Han clearly saw that the princess was about to take a bite of the peeled, freshly baked potato without even cutting it.

“Cut it! Cut and eat!”

“……”

As if nothing had happened, the princess took down the potatoes, cut them up, and stuffed them into her mouth.

The students turned their heads and wondered at Lee Han’s cry.

“What do you cut and eat?”

“Cut the potatoes and eat them.”

“haha. Mr. Wodanaz. No matter how hungry we are, we don’t just swallow it. Of course I cut it and eat it.”

“……”

Lee Han thought after looking at the princess once and then at the student.

‘That guy won’t be able to succeed…’

The next morning.

After finishing work at the stable, Lee Han walked with his friends to listen to Professor Garcia’s < Understanding Basic Magic >.

Lee Han yawned. Yoner asked anxiously, looking particularly tired.

“You look sleepy, are you okay? Did you lose sleep?”

“I slept well, but I had a nightmare…”

“What did you dream about?”

“A dream in which a professor appears.”

Yoner didn’t bother to ask more for Lee Han’s mental health.

Professor Voladi’s class left an impression on him. Professor Voladi appeared in Lee Han’s dream.

In his dream, Professor Voladi instructed Lee Han to ride the rampaging griffon and maneuver the water orb through the fiery circle. It was a terrible nightmare.

“Hello everyone.”

“Hello professor!”

When Professor Garcia opened the door and entered, Lee Han’s heart felt warm.

I didn’t know that meeting trolls was such a relaxing thing until I entered school.

“Professor Mortum came to teach us what black magic is like last week, right?”

There was a ‘huh’ sound from all over the place.

It was a reaction mixed with fear that it could be black magic again.

“Another professor came this week to teach us what summoning magic is like.”

“Waaaaaaaa!”

Lee Han suddenly felt sorry for Professor Mortum, who was not even present.
