Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy

Chapter 593

"It's the end of the world!"

"That monster will destroy Einroguard and trample on the principal!"

The students, filled with fear, screamed and slightly inserted their small wishes that they had been thinking about.

Yi-Han calmed his friends.

"Calm down! It's just a goat!"

"..."

"..."

Normally, they were friends who would have believed Yi-Han's words and calmed down.

In fact, they were about to calm down even now.

If only the mountain-destroying goat hadn't shattered a mountain peak and changed the terrain.

"...How can we calm down now!!"

"How is that a goat! Are you crazy, Wardanaz?!"

'It's really a goat though...'

Yi-Han thought to himself at his friends' shouts.

The mountain-destroying goat was large in size and devastated the surrounding terrain with a single butt, but it wasn't such a bad fellow once you got friendly with it.

If it was a bad-tempered fellow, it would have been named mountain-destroying Verduus or mountain-destroying Gonadaltes, not mountain-destroying goat.

"Trust me. It's a gentle fellow."

"Wardanaz... are you doing this because we tried not to enter your labyrinth?"

"Please forgive us!"

"...Enough, just follow my instructions."

Yi-Han gave up on persuading his friends and decided to take action.

That seemed faster.

'But why did it come out? Ah.'

The mountain-destroying goat usually preferred high altitudes in the mountains, so it rarely came down.

If it was a fellow that often came down, it would have been called a school-destroying goat, not a mountain-destroying goat.

The reason such a fellow was rampaging like this?

'It's because of the giants...!'

It was clear that one of the goats had gone berserk and escaped because the giants who played the role of shepherds didn't take care of them.

"Ratford. Take the guys and wait, and if the goat comes this way, go down immediately. I'll calm that fellow down and come back."

"No!!!"

Ratford immediately attempted a takedown on Yi-Han. Of course, Yi-Han, who was trained in swordsmanship, didn't budge at all.

"Everyone, stop him! Quickly!"

"No, Wardanaz! We'll really enter the labyrinth, so stop being angry!"

"We were wrong! We'll even enter the labyrinth twice!"

Even though four people grabbed each of his arms and legs, Yi-Han maintained his posture upright.

"...Guys. So..."

"No matter how much you've defeated a rock drake before, this is not it!"

"So that's..."

"Wardanaz, I know you're crazy! But a mage who thrives with a staff dies because of that staff! It's too dangerous!"

"Is that how you think of me? No, that's not what's important..."

"That monster bastard blew away another peak! Look!"

"...Guys. Listen for a moment."

When Yi-Han spoke seriously, the friends who were clinging to him turned their gazes.

"I have a confession to make to you."

"???"

"But I hope you don't get surprised or think of me as a crazy person after hearing this."

At Yi-Han's words, his friends looked at him as if he was saying something nonsensical.

"Wardanaz.. I wouldn't be surprised even if you said you mastered all the empire's forbidden magic."

"Why are you being so sudden now?"

"Wardanaz, you're already amazing enough... I can't be surprised anymore."

Yi-Han's wound deepened a little more at his friends' reactions.

"Yeah... thanks. Your reactions are reassuring. That goat is actually a goat I've been taking care of."

"..."

"..."

His friends were silent.

And they all spoke at the same time.

"Wardanaz, you're really crazy."

***

Ctran and Gatono from the White Tiger Tower screamed and ran.

Behind them, a monster summoned by demons to destroy the continent was chasing them.

"Aaaaaaah! Aaaaaaah!"

"Why is it doing this? What did we touch wrong?"

"Throw one of the things you're holding! To the side!"

Ctran threw the fruits he had diligently collected today to the side.

It wasn't for the illusion magic exam, but the fruits he had gathered to eat as a snack.

However, the monster didn't seem to be angry because of the fruits and kept chasing without stopping.

"What's next?"

"A rabbit caught in a trap..."

"Throw it!"

"But it's a rabbit! It's not even a bird! This precious thing..."

"St-still throw it!"

Papapapat!

In the meantime, Yi-Han came running from ahead.

His movement speed itself was extraordinary, as if he had cast several enhancement magic spells.

"Wardanaz!!"

"Stop!"

Yi-Han reached out from afar and shouted at the monster.

The White Tiger Tower students, who were calling Wardanaz with teary eyes, were startled.

"...?!"

"????"

What on earth was he doing?

If it was another friend, they would have thought he made a mistake out of fear, but Wardanaz was a prospective grand mage who had received rigorous training from a prestigious magic family and had no blood or tears. He wasn't someone who would make such a mistake.

But how could he stop the monster with that…

Kikikikikik!

The charging monster suddenly stopped. The surrounding trees flew away and rocks were crushed, but somehow the monster managed to stop its movement.

"Good kid. Well done."

"Co... command magic?!!"

Ctran unknowingly thought of the legendary high-level realm of magic.

"No, you crazy bastard."

"If it's not a command, then what..."

Yi-Han ignored Ctran's words and approached the mountain-destroying goat.

It seemed that he had forgotten to shear one of the goats by mistake, and its wool had grown so much that it looked twice as big.

The mountain-destroying goat seemed very frustrated by that, constantly stomping the ground with its hooves and growling.

"Yeah. I'll cut it soon."

"The, the neck?"

At Ctran's words, the mountain-destroying goat spat. Ctran rolled on the ground.

"Hey. Don't say such atrocious things. The kid will get scared."

"..."

The two White Tiger Tower students momentarily couldn't understand what they heard, even after hearing it. Their brains refused to comprehend it.

"Ah, no. That monster is getting scared?"

The mountain-destroying goat spat again. This time, Gatono rolled on the ground.

"Why do you guys keep doing that? The kid will get angry."

Yi-Han's expression turned serious at the sight of his friends repeatedly making rude remarks.

Saying they would cut the goat's neck in front of the mountain-destroying goat, calling it a monster.

How hurt would the goat be?

"No..."

"Hey..."

"We were about to die..."

"Look behind..."

The two were so frustrated that they couldn't speak properly.

If you looked behind now, half of the mountain was shaved off, and if they had run a little slower, they would have died…

Why are you only taking care of the goat!

"Wardanaz, is that goat more important to you than us???"

Yi-Han looked at them in shock at the absurd and childish question.

The mountain-destroying goat seemed to think similarly and threw a contemptuous gaze.

Gatono still had a little bit of shame left as a person, so he stopped his friend.

"Hey. Stop it. Wardanaz isn't a nanny to ask such an embarrassing question."

"What do you mean stop! I can ask! Wardanaz! Is that goat more impor..."

Ptooey ptooey ptooey ptooey ptooey ptooey!

"Ack! Aack! Aaaaaack!"

The mountain-destroying goat seemed to be really angry at Ctran, spitting at him until he couldn't get up anymore.

***

After shearing all the wool, Yi-Han took the goat to the cave and returned.

The students who were waiting anxiously at the foot of the mountain could finally catch their breath.

"What the hell was that monster, Wardanaz?"

"It's a goat that lives in the highlands over there. It's not that fierce once you get friendly with it, it's just big in size."

"Why are you raising such a mon... goat?"

"Quite a few of the clothes I sold to you were made from that goat's wool."

"..."

"..."

No wonder the wool was so sturdy and warm!

The students, who realized the secret of the clothes, looked at the high mountain peaks with shaking eyes.

They knew that in order to make a living in Einroguard, one had to struggle fiercely…

...But maybe they didn't really know properly.

Maybe they had to get friendly with such a goat…

"Wardanaz. Thank you."

"That's right. We should have thanked you first."

"And I'm sorry for trying not to enter your labyrinth."

'I must never tell them that I went down with the giants.'

When his friends expressed their gratitude with a reflective expression, Yi-Han made a firm resolution to himself.

"Haha. I don't mind at all."

'Even though you made the labyrinth so brutally...'

"I'll enter twice."

Ctran, impressed by Gatono's words, also nodded.

"Me too. I shouldn't have said I wouldn't enter."

"Nah. Entering once is enough. Don't overdo it."

"No! Come to think of it, the exam is about passing other people's labyrinths, and trying to reduce the number of times was the problem. Running away like this won't improve my magic skills."

"Why are you suddenly making sense?"

'It's fine.'

"...Hey..."

"Ah. I'm sorry."

Yi-Han apologized to his friends.

His inner thoughts had accidentally come out first.

"Wardanaz. I'll enter three times."

"Me too, as a sign of reflection..."

The illusion magic school students gathered at the foot of the mountain apologized to Yi-Han with a sincere attitude.

Considering what they had received usually, they shouldn't have backed out just because the labyrinth was a bit scary.

Yi-Han accepted the apology with a dignified attitude.

"Thank you, everyone."

***

"Hmm. Wardanaz. No matter how much I think about it, I think the labyrinth you made this time was a bit too much."

Professor Kirmin carefully spoke while watching students enter Yi-Han's shed and come out foaming at the mouth and collapsing.

Come to think of it, he should have made Yi-Han's labyrinth the last one to enter.

Since all the students taking the lecture collapsed from the beginning, it seemed that Professor Kirmin would have to do the remaining evaluations himself.

"I don't want to hurt your feelings, but even after thinking about it again, it was quite a bit too much."

Professor Kirmin didn't want to hurt him either.

But if he didn't say this, Wardanaz might fail to control his strength again.

Someone had to say it!

"...I'm sorry. Professor Ku."

Yi-Han covered his face with his hand and spoke in a dejected voice.

"It's okay. Mistakes can happen."

"But it wasn't that bad, just unlucky. If they were lucky, everyone could have passed..."

"Now. Wardanaz. Let's talk from the beginning."

Professor Kirmin explained to Yi-Han with strong patience.

What kind of things can happen when you make a mini-labyrinth too brutally?

***

"Doesn't Yi-Han look tired?"

"Isn't it strange to have energy after taking so many exams?"

"That's not it, it's for a bit of a different reason..."

"Ah. It's because he annihilated the friends taking illusion magic."

"What? That's the fault of those who took it and failed."

At Gainando's words, the illusion magic school students flared up.

"Have you even tried entering it?!"

"The ones who fainted after entering the labyrinth are idiots! Am I wrong?!"

"Gainando is right about this."

"Certainly..."

The students who didn't take illusion magic didn't properly understand what happened today.

The furious illusion magic school students flailed their arms and legs and started explaining.

"So, the moment you open the door and enter, you lose your sense of direction and the principal appears in front of you..."

"And you fainted for half a day because of that?"

"That's not the end of it! Ah, really, go in and see for yourself! Follow me! I'll show you regardless of the exam!"

"Didn't they dismantle all the sheds after the exam ended?"

"...Wardanaz! Let's make it one more time! Just once more!!"

"No. Come to think of it, the labyrinth was too extreme."

Yi-Han spoke with a reflective attitude.

The conversation with Professor Kirmin had given him a lot of enlightenment.

'I didn't really need to place the skull illusion that looked like the principal.'

Thinking about it now, this was too brutal of a trap.
