Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 57

Puck!

There was a dull sound.

The iron orb that Lee Han had magically sent landed on the mud golem.

However, what happened after that was different from Lee Han’s expectations.

“!”

Lee Han’s complexion changed.

The connection with the iron ball has been severed.

The iron orb stuck in the mud golem’s gigantic body no longer came out.

‘I was complacent.’

Lee Han clicked his tongue.

A mud golem is a monster that maintains its huge body with magic.

If an object connected by magical power came inside, there was a high possibility that it would be hindered by the magical power of the mud golem.

Dalgrak-

The bone summoner waved his hand. It was as if he was begging me to let him go.

“Can you take it out? Then… Go!”

When Lee Han’s command was given, the bone summons flew in.

The chubby bone summoner, who climbed on top of the mud golem, struggled to get the iron orb stuck in its back.

“……”

“……”

But the iron marbles were too deeply embedded. The bone summoner whimpered and struggled with his hand, but he couldn’t reach the iron ball.

“done. Come back.”

The Bone Summons got sullen and came out.

Fortunately, the mud golem didn’t attack.

‘I guess I don’t have to use the invisibility magic.’

Lee Han, who was even preparing to run away in case of an emergency, corrected his posture and prepared for an attack.

The iron marbles were blocked, but…

‘The water marbles are possible.’

I hate to admit it, but the time has come to admit once again that Professor Voladi’s teachings are useful.

Thanks to practicing magic avoiding Professor Voladi’s memorization, Lee Han was able to summon the water orb.

The problem was its destructive power.

‘Isn’t it weaker than an iron ball?’

It was because of its destructive power that Lee Han dared to launch the iron ball first, even though it was raining all over the place.

In addition, the iron ball process was also simple.

It’s over if you launch it and focus on it.

The material was heavy and it was easy to concentrate, so the destructive power had to be better.

In comparison, water beads were disadvantageous in many ways. The process was also much more difficult.

You have to bring in water, gather it in the form of beads, and control it to blow it away.

Many times more process than iron ball.

There was a reason why Lee Han, who handles iron marbles perfectly, was beaten by Professor Voladi because he couldn’t handle water marbles perfectly.

“Spring up!”

Lee Han first floated the water bead.

Water welled up in the air, and soon a condensed sphere was created. Because it was raining, it felt much easier.

puck!

‘I can’t do that either.’

The water beads exploded, but their destructive power was weaker than the iron beads. You could tell just by looking at the depth of the mud.

The Bone Summon also shook its body, probably feeling the same way.

‘Let’s think. Even if the professors are beasts that have lost their human hearts without blood or tears, they wouldn’t have prepared a golem like this without any strategy.’

Lee Han was deep in thought again.

Of course, this golem wasn’t prepared by Professor Thunderwalk, but Lee Han had no way of knowing that.

‘Professor Thunderwalker must know that I am taking classes under Professor Voladi. I’ll also talk to Professor Voladi. If you make the most of the magic you learned from Professor Voladi, there might be a way.’

Round and round.

Lee Han raised his head.

The water beads were spinning in circles. Seeing this, Lee Han burst into laughter.

Thanks to being beaten so badly by Professor Voladi, he was unconsciously drawing circles even when he was still.

Suddenly, something flashed in Lee Han’s mind.

‘What if the water ball itself rotates rapidly?’

The penetrating power would be higher if it was rotated rather than just flying water beads.

Lee Han stopped drawing circles with the water marble and started rotating the water marble.

Shih!

* * *

When Professor Ingeldell seemed to have pouted, Headmaster Skeleton sent a telepathic message to Professor Thunderwalker.

– Try something.

Professor Ingeldel was a rare talent that was hard to find even in the magic school.

If Professor Ingeldell resigned from his professorship and left, he hated to imagine what would happen afterwards.

The headmaster of the skeleton will also have to go to the emperor and write a letter of appreciation, such as ‘I did not intentionally harass you’, and make excuses to the imperial officials, such as ‘I do not intentionally harass the swordsmen’, and go to the knights and say, ‘I really will not bother you. I will, so please give me one swordsmanship professor’.

Just imagining it was terrifying.

-Why me…

Professor Thunderwalker grumbled, but he went down to the cellar of the cabin and poured a lot of mead from the dwarven special keg.

Because the opponent was the principal.

-Don’t forget snacks.

“……”

Professor Thunderwalker picked up smoked meats and vegetables from the shelf in the cabin.

At that time, the vegetables that Lee Han harvested and left behind also came into view.

‘Oh. I was going to eat this.’

As much as he thrifted the hut, he intended to eat the first harvest of vegetables himself.

However, the skeleton headmaster was like a ghost.

– I bet you wouldn’t bring delicious food just for yourself, would you?

‘Shit.’

Professor Thunderwalk gave up and brought everything.

thud!

“now. Professor Ingeldell. Have some. The mead I made myself, the vegetables I grew in my garden, and the meat I smoked myself.”

oh my god! A drink made by our alchemy professor! It is a heavenly taste that cannot be found anywhere in the empire!

“……”

Skeleton Principal did not have much talent for praise.

Fortunately, Professor Ingeldell was a good elf. He tipped his glass and gave him a compliment.

“It tastes really good. Thunderstruck Professor.”

“Thank you for this.”

Not to mention, it really tasted good.

A good alchemist is a good cook and a good brewer. I couldn’t help but taste it.

As soon as the atmosphere seemed to be relaxed, the skeleton headmaster said in a warm voice.

You don’t have to worry too much about the students. Because it was much harder for me.

“……”

“……”

The two relatively young professors were silent at the story of the skeleton headmaster’s ‘me time’ going up to the distant past.

That’s right, everything must have been difficult at that time…!

And these freshmen are a lot of fun guys. You will overcome any crisis on your own.

“That’s right.”

Professor Ingeldell nodded with a condescending expression.

Listening to the Headmaster Skeleton’s words made him feel like he was overprotective.

Of course, he could have been a bit drunk.

yes? Among the students who went to the mountain range right away, isn’t the one from the Wardanaz family quite clever?

The two other professors agreed with the headmaster skeleton.

As Lee Han is receiving attention from all three people here, it was a topic that we could not help but sympathize with.

When the two relatively young professors sympathized, the skeleton principal felt better.

okay. So don’t worry too much. The guy from the Wodanaz family I mentioned earlier is smart enough to learn my magic book on his own, and the other guy is…

“?”

“?”

The two professors, who had been quietly drinking mead and listening, hesitated.

“What did you just say?”

what?

“…You said that you learn well by taking care of your spellbook…?”

Not only Professor Ingeldell, but also Professor Thunderwalker looked at the skeleton headmaster with a shocked expression.

Of course, the professor could personally teach the student. It was a natural thing since it was a school to learn magic.

However, Headmaster Skeleton was an exception.

As you can see from what I just said, isn’t he an ancient madman with a slightly different way of thinking from professors these days?

Headmaster Skeleton realized he had made a mistake.

Like a wizard who has existed since ancient times, the headmaster of skeletons pushed back instead of backing down from this situation.

I’m the principal and representative of this school, so I can’t give you a single lesson!!

“……”

“……”

Headmaster Skeleton felt that the atmosphere was not good. The two professors didn’t go over easily.

Realizing that he was at a disadvantage, Headmaster Skeleton changed his direction.

It’s not just me either. Isn’t Professor Boladi Baegrek also teaching personally? After all, you are also teaching me personally!

Skillful skill that stealthily attracts absent professors like water ghosts.

Indeed, it was not an ancient old wizard for nothing.

“No… I am only teaching at the first grade level. The same goes for Professor Bagreg. But you are not!”

Thunderstruck said it as if it were absurd.

The things that Thunderwalk told Lee Han were very safe things that were not at all likely to cause him to go mad, even if it was a little hard on the body.

On the other hand, that skeleton principal was a person who would teach all sorts of esoteric and bizarre magic even if the opponent was a first-year student.

Professor Baegrek also teaches magic that isn’t for the first year level. The last time I heard it, they were actually teaching 3rd circle magic.

Headmaster Skeleton once took a thunderous step and then focused the attention on Professor Voladi Baegrek, who was absent.

And this wasn’t even a lie.

The other day, I heard that Professor Voladi was teaching something like 3rd circle magic.

-The other day, a boy from the Wardanaj family passed a training session to perfectly draw a circle with a metal ball.

– Was it? Excellent too. It’s a 1st circle magic, but to show that level of control, it must be difficult with 1st circle.

– So we moved on to the next course.

– What was the next course? Is it water jade magic? It must be 2nd circle.

The circle, a measure of the difficulty of magic, was determined by the number of magic casting processes.

The magic that summons water and keeps it in the form of a marble is the 2nd circle.

-I have succeeded in making marbles with water, and I am making them draw circles.

If you add control to it, it’s actually a 3rd circle.

Of course, the results were the same, but that wasn’t a 3-circle magic.

The 3rd circle magic had to weave all the processes together with one wand motion and one spell and manifest them in reality at once.

Strictly speaking, it was not 3rd circle magic to complete it by calling out water, making it into a ball shape, and spinning it in a circle.

But even this was a great thing.

After all, if you get used to magic and become faster, isn’t it proof that you can use 3-circle magic?

I would have thought that a first year student struggling with 2nd circle magic would complete that right now.

If it were another professor, he would have been surprised, but the skeleton principal accepted it coolly.

-Right. It’s a good thing.

And then I thought

‘Professor Voladi is like this too, so I guess it won’t be a problem if I personally teach magic!’

“What kind of dwarf grazing is that?! Professor Bagreg is Professor Bagreg and your magic is your magic!”

Of course, Professor Wooregeol didn’t fall for the principal’s words.

To be honest, I doubted whether Professor Baegrek was really teaching 3rd circle magic, and even if it was true, the principal’s teaching felt much more threatening.

I am teaching very safely! They only teach magic that matches your level. I swear on my honor!

“……”

“……”

I swear by my magic!

“ah. If that’s the case…”

“Then I’ll believe you.”

After swearing by magic, the two professors barely cleared their doubts.

He suspected that he was trying to destroy his brain by teaching a first-year student an ancient magic that even the principal himself couldn’t understand.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like that.

“By the way, what is Professor Baglegk teaching?”

Water attribute combat magic.

After hearing the detailed explanation from the principal, the two professors were impressed.

As the principal said, it wasn’t really 3rd circle magic, but it was really surprising that a first grader could show that level of perfection in magic.

Amazing results that are possible only when talent and hard work are combined!

“I’m not a wizard, so I don’t know, but is it common to have that level of achievement in that grade?”

“It is very rare. It’s probably very close to the water attribute. Of course, that’s not enough, and many other talents are needed… Wait, isn’t Professor Baegrek an expert in magical combat? So, are you training it over and over now? Not only magical power, but also tremendous abuse of mental power…”

Oh no. What a bad person.

“……”

Well, I won’t do more than that. There was no problem with the current training itself, so wouldn’t it be worthwhile?

* * *

Hey!

‘Completed.’

A water orb that rotates furiously in place, making a sound.

Yihan raised his pounding head and looked up at the mud golem.
