Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Episode 709

Lee Han, who was surprised, first apologized.

“I’m sorry, Professor. “Have you ever hated pocket watches?”

If the opponent was Professor Verdus, ‘Is it okay if I’m good at magic? He may have shouted, ‘Even if I die today, I’ll land a magic punch on your face!’, but since the opponent was Professor Garcia, he thought there must be something going on.

Professor Garcia, who regained his composure through strong inhalation and exhalation, covered his face with both hands and became frustrated.

“…Student Lee, where did you get that?”

“yes? “I bought it cheaply at an antique store outside of school.”

“……”

Professor Garcia cursed Einroguard, who always brings out secret items, curses Einroguard students who take random items and sell them, and also curses Einroguard, who makes the students crazy about gold coins. Cursed the principal.

Swish –

the professor weakly waved his wand, and the blown pocket watch came back and the shattered wall returned to its original state.

“Student Lee Han. Actually, this watch… I made it.”

“yes?!?!?!”

Lee Han was even more surprised than when he found out that the skeleton principal was actually from royal family.

How could Professor Garcia, such a sincere and kind person, engrave this phrase on his pocket watch?

Congratulations, you stupid and foolish junior. If you are reading this, you have experienced great magic.

If you master the magic engraved on this watch, come see me. Then I will tell you the vision!

-The great senior is

sweet!

“…There’s no need to read it again, right?”

When Lee Han opened the pocket watch and reread the words written inside, Professor Garcia quickly closed the lid.

“ah. Did the principal force you to do this? “You want me to write something like this?”

“Honestly, I would say yes, but… no, no one forced me. Student Lee Han. I wrote it. And why would the principal encourage this?”

“You forced me to…”

“…”

Professor Garcia thought he would catch the skeleton principal later and ask him what he was talking about with Lee Han.

I couldn’t understand why they were trying to make a sincere and good student go through such a turbulent time.

“Student Lee Han. People… change as they live. “It may be hard to imagine, but there was a time when things were very different from what they are now.”

“Professor Verdus, were you different in the past?”

“Professor, you’ve been like that before… Student Lee Han.”

“sorry. “I’m so curious, so stop.”

Professor Garcia cleared his throat and said.

“Student Lee Han. “I was a bit rough during my school days.”

“!”

Lee Han was shocked.

Professor Garcia was a tough person.

The intelligent Guyan looked as unimaginative as the thoughtful Professor Verdus.

How could someone like this be so rough…

‘Hmm. Now that I think about it, I can imagine it.’

Looking at Professor Garcia’s fist and the wall that had just been smashed, I felt like I was imagining it.

Rather, I wondered why I had never imagined it before.

“This was especially true when it came to magic. I didn’t understand why my friends couldn’t keep up with my magic and got angry.”

“Anyone would do that.”

“That’s not usually the case. “Don’t force yourself to agree.”

Professor Garcia had already regained his composure. Forced flattery was firmly blocked.

Lee Han became slightly sullen.

“I think it was probably because I was listening to all the schools of magic.”

“Anyone will get weird.”

“Student Lee Han, please take a look in the mirror later. Anyway, at that time I was researching space-time magic on my own and succeeded in achieving some results. “When I put that into the watch, this thought occurred to me.”

“which…?”

“If I leave this watch in Einrogard, wouldn’t someone with a purpose among my juniors see it and become interested in space-time magic?”

‘I don’t think so.’

Lee Han made a shocked expression.

As can be seen just by looking at the black magic school or the music magic school, it was not usually difficult to create a new, unpopular or unpopular school of magic.

You need to strategically attract juniors and colleagues and show them a rosy outlook for the school, not come to them by writing provocative phrases on strange artifacts.

Fortunately, Professor Garcia seemed to have figured it out on his own without Lee Han telling him.

“But no one came.”

“Because the magic is a bit difficult…”

“It’s not that kind of problem, actually.”

Professor Garcia sighed.

“It’s surprising that student Lee Han came to take this lecture, but I never thought he would get that watch during vacation. I couldn’t even dream of it. I wonder if this is karma…”

“Professor, you are still the object of my respect!”

Professor Garcia’s pensive face softened slightly due to Lee Han’s flattery.

“thank you. “Student Lee Han.”

“From now on, if anyone asks about this clock, I will tell them that the principal wrote it.”

“There is no need for that.”

Professor Garcia answered calmly.

* * *

After explaining the shameful past, Professor Garcia began explaining space-time magic.

“Time magic: In fact, if you study time magic, you will inevitably learn about space magic. The two are somewhat complementary to each other. So, if student Lee Han learns time magic, he will learn the basics of both magic and then move on to more advanced skills…”

Professor Garcia hesitated as he spoke.

“But is student Lee Han really okay?”

“yes?”

“I understand that you are still listening to all schools of thought. “It’s okay to add a school that isn’t here…”

“It’s okay. professor. “I want to listen to Professor Jeon’s lecture.”

Lee Han was sincere.

With all kinds of bizarre lectures creeping up the list, Professor Garcia’s lectures were much more reliable.

I changed the difficulty level for no reason and ended up meeting the second Professor Boladi.

“Student Lee Han…”

When Professor Garcia stared at him, Lee Han looked embarrassed.

Professor Garcia seemed to have been touched by the solid trust shown by his great student.

“When I was a freshman, I still denied it, but these days, I wonder if someone should stop Lee Han…” “

……”

While Lee Han was dumbfounded, Professor Garcia changed the topic.

“Then, shall we start with < Time Perception > and < Space Perception >?”

“ah. “I learned both.”

“…when? “Did you learn it with someone else?”

Professor Garcia crossed his arms and gave him a suspicious look.

Lee Han, who didn’t notice the look in his eyes because he was concentrating on his magic, answered straight away.

“I learned it with Alcicle last vacation.”

“aha.”

Professor Garcia secretly made a note in the grimoire, saying, ‘The Pengelin family’s Alcicle will be hung upside down.’

“for a moment.”

“Why are you doing this, Student Lee?”

Professor Garcia secretly closed the grimoire in case he was caught. Lee Han answered without noticing anything at all.

“I learned < spatial awareness > with my senior Balpatan early last year.”

“aha!”

Professor Garcia added to the memo, ‘The student who exploded will also be hung.’

The external wizards and seniors did exactly the same things.

Professor Garcia said while smiling without Lee Han noticing.

“Then we can move on to the next magic, Student Lee Han!”

“Professor, are you angry…?”

“What are you talking about, student Lee Han? “Are you not angry at all?”

Professor Garcia looked around, feeling stabbed inside by his student’s keen intuition.

“The next spell is < Level Internal Time Extension >. It’s a 2-circle spell, but the difficulty level is similar to 3-4 circle magic, so don’t be in too much of a hurry. “Okay?”

“yes.”

The extreme difficulty of time magic lies in the fact that the concept of magic itself directly conflicts with the laws of the world.

What if a wizard wants to light a fire?

All we had to do was slightly deceive the laws of the world and make it look like a spark had caught firewood.

Since it is not that difficult to catch fire on top of firewood, it was not that difficult to fake it.

But what if a wizard wants to slow down time?

That itself was close to a conflict and rebellion against the world itself.

To handle this, the wizard needed enormous resistance.

Before using such full-scale magic, the magic that was close to expedient was < Level Internal Time Extension >.

A magic that increases the time felt inside the wizard, not outside the wizard.

It was this primitive form of magic that experienced battle wizards and swordsmen said experienced time slowing down during battle.

‘The level of difficulty will be low as it deals only with the inside.’

Lee Han felt that Professor Garcia was trying to get him used to relatively low-difficulty magic before the actual time magic.

Of course, the level of difficulty within time magic is low, but if you look at the absolute level of difficulty, it is by no means easy…

“Thoughts go from moment to moment, from moment to moment to awareness!”

Unlike other 2nd circle magic, Lee Han concentrated while reciting a long and complex spell.

The good news was that Lee Han experienced time slowing down a few times.

…I wasn’t sure if doing this a lot was a good thing, but at least it helped now.

“In cases like this one, the caster must personally check whether it was successful or not. Student Lee Han. “Use your time perception magic to judge.”

“thank you.”

Professor Garcia held out his teacup as if to tell me to take a break.

This was because I thought there was no need for Lee Han, who was going to be mistreated by professors from other schools anyway, to overextend himself here.

Lee Han drank the hot tea in one gulp and cast the spell again. Professor Garcia thought to himself as he looked at the empty teacup.

‘…Should I make it hotter next time?’

* * *

‘Pfft.’

Lee Han felt regretful and took a step forward.

In the end, he failed to fully learn magic.

There were a few times when I felt the sense of time slowing down, but if I couldn’t completely control it, I hadn’t mastered it.

Professor Garcia comforted him by saying that it was still very fast, but Lee Han was not fooled.

‘Professor Garcia is a lenient person in these areas.’

Just as it was hard to believe when Professor Verdus said, ‘You’re slow!’, it was also hard to believe when Professor Garcia said, ‘You’re still fast!’

“I think I’ll have to persuade that junior myself. He was born with the qualities of a mason club. “We have to get him before the library club kidnaps him.”

“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about the Wardanaz family, but it’s surprising.”

‘shit.’

Lee Han immediately cast an invisibility spell upon hearing the sound from across the hallway.

I haven’t even seen the juniors yet, but I can’t believe they start avoiding the seniors.

‘We need a more reliable way to be on guard.’

-But I heard that the junior learns magic from all schools. Is that true?

-Uhm. I couldn’t believe it either, so I checked and it seems to be true. It’s not for nothing that crazy rumors related to the Wardanaz family arose. It’s truly scary…

-Which is scarier, moving the entire ocean water to create a reservoir or listening to all the school’s magic? I’m more scared of the latter.

“……”

As Lee Han passed by, he couldn’t resist and almost used magic on the seniors’ backs.

People who don’t even know why they heard it all talk so easily.

Wow –

at that moment, I felt a change in magical power that only Lee Han could feel. It was the artifact note < Einrogard's Whisper > made by Delet.

‘what?’

Lee Han wondered if his friends had already recharged their magic power and started doodling.

I have a suggestion for you.

-joy. go away.

……

‘Oops. Was that too harsh?’

Lee Han reflected slightly when the other person fell silent.
