Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 077

Summoning Magic, failure was a story when a result was summoned that differed even by 1% from the goal.

But now, the magic quills fluttering in the air were perfectly aligned with their targets.

There were just too many of them.

Professor Garcia quickly understood the meaning and nodded.

“okay. It is not a failure.”

Professor Troll let out a slight sigh of relief.

It is the professor’s job to care about all students equally, but I couldn’t help but worry a little more about that boy from the Wardanaz family.

Because he was born with so much magical power, even basic magic had no choice but to be difficult.

Fortunately, Lee Han was resolutely fighting the difficult challenges facing him with a bold and firm attitude uncharacteristic of a freshman, but as a professor, it was true that he was sorry.

Isn’t this something that the teacher should find a solution to?

Professor Garcia, who couldn’t find a proper solution, was the only one among the professors at this magic school who felt guilty.

“Student Lee Han is quite talented, right? Seeing how perfectly successful…”

Professor Garcia, relieved, spoke up, and Professor Millay nodded.

“You have talent.”

“Do you think so too?”

Professor Garcia was well aware of how difficult summoning magic was and how strict Professor Millay was.

As such, Professor Millay’s recognition was all the more valuable.

“He is a talented person who can learn summoning magic. But… there is one weakness.”

“??”

Professor Garcia was a little taken aback.

“Of course, the amount of magic power is a little, no, a little too much, actually, it’s a lot, but the control is getting better and better…”

Professor Garcia, who was about to lie, couldn’t finish because of his conscience.

Still, considering Lee Han’s amount of magical power, he was adapting at an incredibly fast pace.

“I think it will get better the further you go…”

“I didn’t mean the amount of horse power. Professor Garcia.”

“So what?”

“The weakness I spoke of is arrogance.”

“…?”

arrogance?

Professor Garcia was a little taken aback.

Of course, the Wardanaj boy could come off as arrogant at first sight.

His cold appearance, as if carved out of marble, was layered with the dignity of a great nobleman, making it difficult for most people to speak to him.

However, Professor Garcia was well aware that Lee Han was not that kind of boy.

In the first place, the student who personally feeds the students of the Blue Dragon Tower cannot have such an arrogant personality.

“I think you have a misunderstanding…”

“Professor Garcia. Take a good look.”

Professor Millais pointed out dozens of magic quills and said sternly.

“That student succeeded at once. Even so, I deliberately summoned more than a dozen magic quills. What does that mean?”

Success in summoning magic at once meant that he had a high understanding of the magic circle and high magic control.

It was rare for freshmen to have both knowledge and talent. It was clearly an outstanding ability, and at this level, objectively, he was a talented person who could enter the world of summoning magic.

But why did such a student deliberately summon dozens of magic quills?

If you had the ability to succeed at once, you could have summoned just one?

The answer was one.

It was to show off their skills arrogantly.

“No…”

Professor Garcia was taken aback by Professor Millay’s words.

“Student Lee Han doesn’t have that kind of personality…”

“Arrogance is a necessary virtue for a wizard, but it is also a dangerous poison to have from a very young age. Professor Garcia. Especially if you have innate knowledge and talent.”

“That’s it…”

Professor Millay’s eyebrows went up. Professor Garcia flinched.

Even with the same professor, not all relationships were equal. Especially if one professor is a student of another professor.

However, Professor Garcia wanted to somehow clear up the misunderstanding.

“I don’t think Lee Han has that kind of personality. Maybe it’s a mistake… I think…”

“A mistake?”

There was a very slight absurdity in Professor Millay’s voice. It didn’t bode well.

“So Professor Garcia… are you saying that you did that summoning by mistake?”

Professor Garcia’s face turned red. Looking back, I realized how absurd it was.

To summon multiple quills with that magic circle, simply blowing several times the amount of magic needed to summon one quill at once was not enough.

In the first place, since it was not a magic circle for multiple summons, increasing the amount of magic power and blowing it all at once could destroy the magic circle or cause an adverse effect.

Once magic power is applied to the circuit, it takes on a different nature from before it was imparted.

Because of this, the calculations also changed from time to time. In order to infuse new mana into the circuit where mana had been injected, he had to calculate it again.

In other words…

the only way to summon multiple quills with that magic circle was to repeat it carefully over and over again.

Accurately calculate the amount of magical energy that can be summoned on top of the magic circle and put it in.

Then, after carefully grasping the state of the changed magic circle, once again, accurately calculate the amount of magic power and inject it.

repeat again. repeat repeat.

It was a feat I wouldn’t choose unless I had a strong sense of pride in my skills.

A feat only possible with intention!

“I practiced first so as not to destroy the magic circle… Maybe I forgot that there is magic left in the magic circle…?”

“……”

Professor Millay, who was looking at Professor Garcia with a stern expression, relaxed his expression.

It was a look that seemed to pity the kind-hearted disciple.

“Professor Garcia. There is no way that such an outstanding student would have forgotten that.”

‘I see…’

Professor Garcia shut his mouth for nothing to say.

To be honest, Professor Garcia also felt that excuses were scarce.

But what do you mean when you feel that it’s very likely?

“It’s good to trust and show affection to students, but you shouldn’t close your eyes to the students’ flaws or mistakes and trust them. Professor Garcia. Because sometimes affection and trust can blind you.”

“Yes…”

“Even though I have said this, I am not denying that this student is very talented. However, arrogance can hurt students themselves, so you have to be careful.”

“yes.”

“You don’t have to worry so much. If that student learns summoning magic, he will soon be able to correct his arrogance.”

Summoning magic has always trampled on students who consider themselves to be the greatest geniuses in the empire.

Combined with Professor Millay’s strictness, uncontrollable arrogance would soon be reduced to a moderate level of pride.

Professor Garcia turned his head.

He was trying to scribble ‘I don’t have a quill’ by flying the magic quills summoned by Lee Han to Angrago.

Because of that, a scuffle was taking place between the students of the White Tiger Tower and the students of the Blue Dragon Tower.

As he went to dry it, Professor Garcia thought that no matter how much he thought about it, it was not arrogance.

‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think that’s really the case.’

* * *

Once the fuss is over. The students’ faces were smeared with ink.

It was the aftereffect left by the incompletely summoned magic quills and the fully summoned magic quills.

The summoned magic quills disappear over time, but the ink left behind by the quills does not disappear.

“I believe that everyone understands at least a little how difficult summoning magic is today. The magic practiced today is the basis of the basics of summoning magic, and originally it should be done without a magic circle.”

Professor Millais scared the students. But the professor didn’t care and continued talking seriously.

“Nevertheless, if you have a passion for summoning magic and want to learn it seriously, please visit my workshop. It would be good for everyone to keep in mind. It’s easy to mistakenly think that what you need to learn magic is talent or intelligence, but…”

Lee Han felt that Professor Millay’s eyes were directed toward him.

Is it because of the mood?

‘Was it a problem that I used magic quills to harass Anrago?’

“…After all, what is most needed is persistence and perseverance. If you continue to devote yourself seriously without giving up, the summoning magic will open the way for students.”

After saying that, Professor Millay left the classroom.

The rest of the students huddled together and whispered.

“Should I visit the studio?”

“Your professor said it. If you just start listening in the second grade, it will be hard to follow. If you want to learn summoning magic, it seems like you have to practice it from the first year in advance.”

The students nodded.

After trying to summon a quill right away, I understood how difficult summoning magic was.

Summoning an object that acts on its own with the power of a wizard…

“But can we go to the professor and learn the summoning magic separately?”

“Is there anything you can’t do?”

“really? I still have a lot of assignments, but more will be added, and I have to prepare for the paper test soon, so can I really study summoning magic separately?”

“……”

The realistic concerns made the students frightened.

Summoning magic was attractive, but not many students could handle it if the assignments increased for that magic.

‘That’s why I told you to take the easy subjects.’

Lee Han thought so, but then reflected.

Now that I think about it, isn’t Lee Han in danger of his life while trying to take an easy subject?

Lee Han suddenly became curious.

What electives are other students taking?

“What are you listening to as a choice?”

“me? < Basic Art >. Did everyone hear it?”

“I like < Basic Dancing and Socializing >. In fact, it is semi-essential.”

“Listen to < Understanding the Basic Imperial Masterpieces and Masterpieces >. I wanted to buy one later on vacation.”

“……”

Lee Han was slightly taken aback by the list of lectures his friends were taking.

…Am I the only one uncultured?

“There is no lecture without assignments.”

“so do i. But you can’t not listen to the summoning magic.”

“Shouldn’t the school rent an artifact that can turn back time?”

“Cainan Island. that’s a fairy tale Where would that be?”

“Even if it were possible, would you lend it to a student to take a lecture? It will be used for something far more valuable.”

Lee Han, who was listening to his friends’ conversation, checked the time and stood up.

“Cainan Island. let’s go.”

“Where are you going? But why are you taking Cainando with you?”

“Aren’t you trying to use them as bait when you meet a summoned beast?”

“no. I need to see Professor Mortum.”

While everyone was contemplating whether or not to go to the summoning magic, there was a professor who was lonely and abandoned without any interest.

It was Professor Mortum who taught black magic.

As they were directly called by Professor Mortum, Lee Han and Gainando, unlike other students, had no choice but to periodically visit and learn black magic.

“Do I have to go? Can’t we just send Gainan Island?”

Friends did not want to let Lee Han go, but Gainando never intended to go alone.

“…When I go alone, I recommend all of you.”

“Guinan Island! my noble friend! There seems to be a misunderstanding!”

Friends immediately changed their stance.

Yoner asked if he was okay.

“Perhaps students who want to learn summoning magic will visit now, is that okay?”

“Since you haven’t set a time, you can visit Professor Mortum and then visit Guyando together.”

Lee Han was also interested in summoning magic. There is only a promise.

It was good not to break the promise with the professors. Especially if the professor is lonely because he doesn’t have the students he’s looking for.

“Then see you next time.”

“Be careful. Wardanaz.”

“Be careful of the released summons and don’t forget the potion Priest Siana gave you.”

“Professor Mortum be careful too.”

“Be careful of Gainan Island too.”

At Asan’s words, Gainando made a slightly moved expression.

“Moon card…”

“If Gainando makes a mistake, you will be in danger, so be careful.”

“……”

He didn’t tell Gainando to be careful, he was telling Yihan to be careful about Gainando.

As soon as Guyando met Professor Mortum, he decided to recommend Asan.
