Episode 825
Fortunately, Falkrius heard his junior’s cry.
“Uh, Professor. Can I leave your seat for a moment?”
“Okay. Since the foot is no longer growing from the patient’s wrist… you can all take a short break.”
“Thank you. I was a little worried. There is a wizard from the Magic Tower in the Water Demon Mountains, right? I left it to my junior for a while.”
“Falcrius.”
“Yes, Professor.”
Professor Alkasis said as he burned the cut off feet.
“Your junior will take care of himself, so mind your own business.”
“No… I’m still a second year…”
Falkrius was embarrassed for the first time in a long time.
Of course, Falkrius sometimes mistook Lee Han’s grade by one or two, but he was still a second grader, right?
The wizard from the Magic Tower in the Water Demon Mountains had a very difficult case, so he didn’t know when or how the prognosis would worsen
. “It’s a case of being cursed yourself. You never know when or how things will get weird.”
“So I’m sure you’ll take care of it.”
Professor Alkasis suppressed a yawn and spoke in a rough, hoarse voice.
Perhaps because I hadn’t slept so much, I kept yawning even when I drank the full solution of the sleep-fighting potion and the insomnia-cursing potion.
“The kids are running away because the professor keeps saying that! They’ll come see me!”
Falkrius got so angry that he jumped out of his seat and turned around.
“No… Falcrius! Falcrius!”
The professor was embarrassed and called his student. Falkrius walked away without stopping.
“You can’t act angry and not come back! We’ll start again in 30 minutes!”
“…I know!”
Falkrius huffed and responded to the professor’s shout.
Alkasis of the Lagrinde family was certainly a respectable wizard, but at times like this, I really felt like he was going a bit too far.
They say that weak wizards cannot last long as healing wizards, so they need to be defeated quickly if they are to be defeated, but isn’t there a limit?
At least it is not too late to do it after the juniors have solidified themselves.
If we already treat it this way, the already small number of second-year juniors could have decreased even further. Moreover, in the case of Wardanaz, many people from other schools are also listening…
“Huh, what are you doing?”
Falkrius made an idiotic noise and closed his eyes.
Bajun, the magic tower wizard of the Water Demon Mountains, was struggling in a state of being suppressed.
“Ugh! It’s because I was ambushed! It’s because I let my guard down! If I had caught up with him properly, I wouldn’t have been overpowered by a second-year student like this!”
“Okay, just stay still.”
“Free me! Let’s try again!”
“No. We need to check if there’s anything wrong with your head. Until then, I can’t release you.”
“I’m fine!? Give me the cane!”
“From what you’re saying, it looks like you’re not okay. I’m warning you, stay still.”
“What are you going to do if you’re not going to stay quiet? Sigh! Sigh! Surrender!”
Bajun, who had never thought that the telekinetic power he was currently suppressing was at a level that was being taken lightly, quickly cried out as the force tightened around his neck, limbs, and legs.
What kind of second year can use such strong magic?
“Ah, senior. Have you seen it?”
“Uh..uhh. I came. But…did…the curse go to my head?”
While Falkrius didn’t see it, he wondered if Bajun had gone berserk due to the curse and Lee Han had suppressed it.
“No. I cured the curse, but he suddenly made a strange sound and called me. Could you please check?”
“?”
Falkrius, who heard his junior’s words, was embarrassed, not knowing where to start.
“You did it?”
“Sounds weird?”
“No. Before that. You cured the curse?”
“yes.”
“……”
Falkrius rushed towards Barjun.
Bajun, caught in a grip like a pot lid, screamed out loud.
“Just relax…”
“I’m trying to relax.”
“Oh, sorry. I was holding it with telekinesis.”
Lee Han apologized and loosened Bajun’s collar. Barjun glared at him.
Falkrius cast several magic tests on the patient. Starting from trauma confirmation, soul testing, spiritual body projection, spirit detection, etc.
And, to my absolute surprise, there was no trace of the curse left. Bajun was very fine.
“Wan… It’s completely healed, junior! What on earth did you do!”
“Yes? Is your head still okay?”
“okay!”
“I told you so!!”
Lee Han released his other telekinetic powers with eyes full of suspicion. Bajun stood up with a huff.
“You definitely said something strange… Where was the prisoner?”
“… That was because you were surprised!”
“You suddenly called me a saint.”
“Isn’t that a reaction that can be made with conscience?!”
Bajun, who was trying to make an excuse, suddenly burst into tears.
I don’t know anything else, but this wasn’t a slip of the tongue, it was a legitimate reaction.
If I had asked anyone else, they would have said the same thing!
“Why is there a saint?”
Falkrius looked at Lee Han as if he did not understand.
“That guy didn’t purify or weaken the curse, he just absorbed it into himself! No wonder he’s called a saint… Wow!”
Before he could finish speaking, Falkrius grabbed Bajun’s flesh with both fists and lifted him into the air.
“You ordered it!!”
“Oh no! No..! He did it on his own…!”
“How can a second grader know something like that, you damned Waterhorse Mountains stone bastard!”
“Uh, I did it on my own. Senior.”
“…Is that so?”
Falkrius was taken aback by Lee Han’s words and quickly put down the patient.
Then he cleared his throat and said:
“I think there was a brief misunderstanding. Phew.”
“I heard those Einrogard guys are all eccentric.”
Bajun grumbled while touching his neck.
I couldn’t tell how many times I felt sleepy today.
Lee Han said with a cheerful smile.
“I think a mistake was made because it was an emergency.”
‘Was it an emergency?’
Bajun honestly didn’t agree, but decided to just move on.
In fact, if you were to cure a curse that was so difficult to cure, it would be a business worth getting caught by the collar a few times.
“Yes. Anyway, thank you very much for making me better. And is there anything special about being a saint? No matter who you are, if you risk your life to save someone when they are about to end up like Professor Verdus, that is a saint. You are a saint, you young brat.”
“Are you sure your head is fine?”
Lee Han ignored the other person’s words and whispered to Falkrius. Falkrius nodded slightly.
“Thank you again, and don’t keep your promise. Be sure to come visit the Mulma Mountains. But first, I have to leave. I’m so behind on research. So, that’s enough!”
Bajun quickly ran to the airfield above the Magic Tower without even taking his shoes on.
Then, he hooked the magic chain onto the claws of the flying wyvern and flew away.
-You crazy wizard! What are you doing! Are you going to take responsibility if the wyvern’s claws break?!
-I’m sorry! Let’s go together! Please throw it on the way to the Mulma Mountains!
“Wardanaz. You absorbed someone else’s curse?”
“Yes, but it has strong resistance so it’s okay.”
“……”
Just because one had strong resistance did not mean that everyone could absorb other people’s curses without hesitation.
This is not something that can be done without a strong sense of responsibility for others and determination.
‘professor. ‘You were right, Professor!’
Falkrius realized that Professor Alkasis was watching his students properly.
I thought he was a person who was so exhausted from work that he didn’t know whether he was drinking coffee or tea, but that wasn’t the case.
‘But why didn’t you recognize me last time?’
In fact, during winter break last year, Professor Alkasis encountered students from the healing magic school who had changed into civilian clothes.
And it passed by without being recognized.
It was such a shocking anecdote that it is still talked about among students of the healing magic school.
-The professor didn’t recognize us at that time, right?
-Honestly, I still doubt that you don’t remember…
‘It’s clear that you were just too lazy to deal with us. ‘We misunderstood.’
Falkrius vowed to pass on what he had just learned to his juniors.
There is no way that someone who is so interested in Wardanaz, who just joined the team, would not know about other juniors.
“Seniors.”
When Falkrius continued to say nothing, Lee Han called carefully.
“Huh? Why?”
“Are you angry because I treated the patient?”
“What!? No?! Why do you think that?”
“You were excited to study an unusual and interesting disease for a year.”
“…That’s true, but that doesn’t mean I’m angry about the treatment!”
Embarrassed, Falkrius became suspicious that this junior might think he was a strange person.
To be honest, if you look at it strangely, he is only a second year student, but he is a junior who has absorbed a curse that he has not even fully identified into his body…
“Junior. Just in case you don’t know, I am warning you that you must not carelessly absorb other people’s curses.”
When Falkrius realized that his junior was much weirder than he thought, he quickly warned him.
It was an obvious thing to say, but it was also a necessary one
: “Why do I do such a thing?”
“What did you just do?”
“That’s…an exception.”
“Then don’t absorb it carelessly, even if it’s an exception. Understand?”
“Yes…”
‘You seem angry.’
* * *
“Oh my, it’s Sakshin.”
Lagesa grunted every three seconds. In the end, Lee Han could not win and apologized.
“I’m sorry. I called you for no reason.”
“Sweetheart. You called me that on purpose, right?”
“No! What a misunderstanding!’”
Like an experienced Einrogard student, Lee Han never admitted it.
Lagesa smiled and spoke like a kind grandmother.
“Kihihi. I was just asking out of admiration. You can be honest. Do you think I would get angry over something like this? Thorgerd’s daughter?”
‘yes.’
Lee Han answered immediately in his mind and then spoke pretentiously.
“I really called you to introduce you to Lagessa.”
‘Tch.’
Lagesa clicked his tongue.
This kid wasn’t usually very cunning, so he never fell into any of the traps he would fall into. He was a talented person who would have become a pirate if he had been a pirate.
“I couldn’t even look around properly because I was helping Alkasis with his work. Did anything interesting happen?”
“It was nothing special. There was a wizard from the Water Horse Mountains…”
“Ah. You mean Bajun? I made a bet on how many curses that kid could withstand.”
Lee Han was slightly surprised to hear the name of a more famous wizard than he expected.
“Yes, it’s him. I treated him.”
“How? It couldn’t have been easy, right?”
“I absorbed the curse.”
“……”
Lagesa was so shocked that she could not continue speaking.
From the guts to absorb enough curses to be carried as Einro Guard to the magic that can absorb them.
Both were incredibly surprising.
And the most surprising thing was that he didn’t even notice it was all going on behind his head.
“I should have told you, you brat! I think I’ll hang you from the mast! I’ll make you like Bible!”
“Oh no! You were busy!’”
“No matter how busy you are, you have to see that! That’s what I came here to see! You’ve just become a fool!”
Lagesa, who had been fuming for a while, calmed down and asked,
“When is the next lecture?”
“1…”
“In an hour?”
“No. It’s in 1 minute. You should run.”
“…Yeah.”
Lee Han, who was running ahead, stopped.
“Why are you doing that?
“Well, I think it would be better for me to go to this lecture alone. Wouldn’t it be better for Lagessa to just tour the 7th floor again?”
“What’s wrong, kid?”
Lagesa took the timetable from Lee Han’s hand with a grin on his face.
I had no idea that this cunning guy didn’t want to go to a class.
‘Maybe there’s a lecture you’re not confident in?’
Surprisingly, it could have been cultured. Usually, people who are crazy about magic are not good at the etiquette of the empire.

“……”
Lagesa’s face was grimly distorted like a pirate caught in a storm.
