Chapter 049
In the Empire, black magic has no choice but to have a bad image.
First of all, isn’t it a bit dull, dark, and gloomy from the outside?
In addition, the magic they dealt with was hideous and uncomfortable.
Summoning cursed undead, dark element, poison element, negative energy, etc.
It was natural for people to be reluctant.
-hello. Residents of the village. This is the newly appointed dispatch wizard. His main specialty is elemental magic, especially fire.
-Oh oh! You don’t have to worry about the cold in winter!
– No hello. This is the newly appointed dispatch wizard. His major is… black magic…
– Yes? I beg your pardon?
-Specialized in summoning black magic undead.
-…Don’t let me go to the wizard’s grave.
As much as most people are reluctant, the freshmen who came here were the same.
Each of them entered the school with their own big intentions, but they did not want to learn black magic that was persecuted.
However, Lee Han looked at the professor with an exciting gaze.
‘There is a way where others do not go.’
Even before entering school, Lee Han thought that black magic was quite valuable.
First of all, there will be less competition because there will be fewer other students.
And just because you took a black magic lecture, you didn’t have to go on the path of a black magician.
‘I can just get grades and go the other way.’
He would hear other magic anyway, so there was no reason to worry.
And the life of the Imperial Warlock wasn’t that bad from Lee Han’s point of view.
People were scared, but the number of wizards was so small that once hired, there was an advantage that they would never be cut from office.
Extreme iron rice bowl!
“I thought everyone would react that way.”
Professor Garcia must have noticed the students’ mood and instead opened his mouth.
“However, black magic is a field that contains deep mysteries and reason unlike the prejudice of the world. You are wizards who have not yet been refined. To know what you are talented at and what you should aim for, you have to keep trying and experimenting. I want you to learn with the curiosity of a wizard rather than let your prejudice pass you away.”
Professor Garcia’s words were calm and reasonable. The freshmen looked at Professor Garcia with slightly moved expressions.
“ruler. Then, who will help Professor Mortum teach black magic?”
“……”
“……”
Of course, that was it, and black magic was black magic.
The students lowered their heads to avoid Professor Garcia’s gaze.
“Lee Han. Keep your head down! Keep your head down!”
Gainando hurriedly shouted, pulling Lee Han by the collar.
“If you hang out with a warlock, even if you die later, you won’t die and become an undead soldier!”
“…Are you a wizard?”
Lee Han looked at Gainando as if it was absurd.
Ordinary people who don’t know much about magic. Even so, why do you believe in such things?
“I will help you.”
“!!”
Lee Han raised his hand.
The students looked at Lee Han with amazement and awe.
I knew that the Wardanaz boy was the leader of the blue dragon’s tower.
But no matter how it is, I never thought I would voluntarily go to the test of black magic.
Even the Black Turtle Tower students, who were afraid of Lee Han after hearing only rumors about the Wodanaz family, changed their eyes.
“Student Lee Han!”
Professor Garcia looked at Lee Han with a very happy expression.
Lee Han knew well what that expression was.
I get nervous when I ask another professor, who is close to me, to give me a lecture sometime, and the professor comes to me, but the students just stay still like dumb people who have eaten honey.
I wonder if he prepares his disciples in advance by saying, ‘Hey, raise your hand and ask a question’.
From Professor Garcia’s point of view, I couldn’t even imagine how grateful Lee Han would be for standing up now.
“Collock Coke. Thank you. Come on.”
As he got closer to Professor Mortum, Lee Han could understand why the temperature in the classroom had gone down.
A considerable amount of magic power emanated from Professor Mortum, who was standing still.
It wasn’t just magic, it was negative magic.
This cold and gloomy minus magic is like the symbol of black magicians.
Magical power was basically colorless, but there were many times when the properties of magic had to be changed to match the magic that was being used.
Basically, in black magic, there were often cases where mana had to be changed into sonic properties in that way.
‘This is why I’m not popular.’
It doesn’t even have a good image, but to casually spread that kind of magic to students approaching nearby.
If this is the case, even the students who were interested in approaching it will be frightened and back away.
Here and there, basically, all the professors weren’t very good at flirting with students.
“You have a lot of magic power.”
“thank you.”
“okay. Pick up your wand… I’ll demonstrate first.”
Professor Mortum choked several times and then waved.
At that moment, the chaotic sound of mana that had been pouring out like that was immediately arranged in an orderly fashion.
“Arise, servants of bones!”
With a terrifying rattle, summoned beasts made of bones suddenly appeared in the air among the students.
They danced bizarrely and circled around the place. The students were on the verge of fainting.
Professor Mortum looked at Lee Han and asked in a pleased voice.
“Collock…how are you okay?”
“yes?”
“I prepared it because I thought the students would like it.”
“hmm. Interesting.”
Lee Han avoided the truth so that the professor would not be hurt. Professor Garcia expressed his gratitude with his eyes.
“Of course, I won’t make you do magic like this. Coke. Because that is a very difficult magic.”
It was an obvious thing to say, but Lee Han felt grateful for that obvious thing.
Professor Voladi needs to hear this!
“For now, try converting mana into negative properties.”
Lee Han drew out his magic.
I had already converted light to water once, so I knew the trick to converting attributes.
Drawing an image in your head and concentrating on that image to dye your magic.
Pod!
“You’re doing pretty well.”
Professor Mortum admired the skillful transition.
“thank you.”
“Try switching more.”
Lee Han concentrated and began changing his mana.
‘no. Are you good at it?’
Professor Garcia, who was watching, was slightly taken aback.
I felt sorry for Professor Mortum, but he didn’t want a student like Lee Han to go down the thorny path like black magic.
‘If you do too well, it’s not good as it is…’
Other wizards went through more trial and error than expected when thinking of negative attributes.
This sonic property is a broader and more ambiguous concept than I thought.
cold?
The ice properties were also cold.
dark?
The dark attribute was also dark.
There were many wizards who couldn’t catch the strand as much as it was an attribute that included many things together.
However, Lee Han thought simply.
‘Roughly non-Euclidean geometry or imaginary numbers… let’s think of bizarre mathematical images.’
Lee Han’s strength that other wizards cannot follow.
It was just the breadth of the way of thinking.
Fortunately, such an image seemed to match exactly, and the magical power was smoothly converted into a negative attribute.
a little bit more.
And more and more.
And and more and more.
“…professor?”
Lee Han felt a sense of incongruity.
Saaah-Aak-
Even though it was daylight, the lecture room became darker and the temperature that had not been descended went down and the breath began to come out.
However, Professor Mortum did not think to stop and urged with an excited expression.
Seeing the old man who had been coughing until just now, his eyes shining and not even coughing, he seemed like a completely different person.
“How far is it possible? Try more.”
“Professor Mortum?”
Professor Garcia tried to stop him.
Of course, it was nice to see Professor Mortum so happy, but there were other students in the classroom now.
There was a gloomy atmosphere in the classroom, and students with sensitive senses could hear hallucinations whispered by non-living things.
From Professor Garcia’s point of view, it should have stopped here and now.
‘If you think about student Lee Han’s magic…’
As much as I’m curious, I don’t know what will happen if I convert as much as possible.
“Why?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to stop?”
“Let’s change it a little bit more. I wonder how possible it is.”
“You can check that in other situations as well.”
“But…”
“Stop.”
“oh. I see.”
When Professor Garcia was serious, Professor Mortum lowered his tail.
‘It’s a pity…’
Professor Mortum looked at Lee Han with a sad expression.
One of the most important things in black magic was the amount of magical power of those negative attributes.
Of course, there is no magic field where magic power is not important, but in black magic, if there is a lot of magic power, the things you can do are truly limitless.
Undead Summon?
Horsepower was important.
curse?
Horsepower was important.
It was the same with the dark element and the poison element…
So I tried to see how far I could go, but it stopped like this.
‘Professor Garcia is also very mean.’
“professor.”
Lee Han called Professor Mortum.
Because the conversion was stopped, a huge amount of mana was slowly dissipating.
“ah. I’m sorry. Just swing your wand like this and recite the spell. Be paralyzed! do.”
Lesser Paralysis Curse.
As a circle 1 black magic, it was one of the easiest black magic.
A curse that causes weak paralysis in the opponent’s arms or legs, as if they were cramped.
There is probably no one in his life who has never had an arm or leg go numb.
As such, it was easy to come up with an image and easy to use the wand.
“To whom?”
“Of course it is for me.”
Curse, unlike other magic, required an opponent.
Lee Han was taken aback.
As you know, Professor Mortum looked so weak that even the wind blew over him.
‘I wanted the day to shoot magic at the professor one day, but it wasn’t like this?’
“Is that really okay?”
Professor Mortum replied in annoyance.
“of course. Let’s walk.”
“Are there any defense magic… or something like that?”
“Cough Coke… It’s a magic that paralyzes an arm or a leg at most. Even if there is a problem, how much will it happen?”
‘Well, that’s true.’
Lee Han was convinced.
Come to think of it, the fact that Lee Han, a freshman, was worried about the professor was presumptuous.
‘Let’s focus more. I might get caught by the professor for being arrogant.’
As Lee Han closed his eyes and focused, Professor Mortum shrugged his shoulders as if telling him to hurry up.
Wizards basically have more magical power than others and know how to handle the magical power inside their bodies with their own will.
As such, the resistance to magic attacks was strong.
Even if attacked, mana instinctively protects the body.
And, like Professor Mortum, someone who has been dealing with sonic magical power for almost his entire life has a stronger resistance to sonic magical magic.
The newcomer’s spells were just not blocked and had no effect even if hit.
‘Once you’re blocked, you’ll know how deep and vast this black magic is.’
Professor Mortum thought that Lee Han would be deeply impressed if the magic he tried his best was blocked.
-I didn’t expect anything to happen even though I did my best…! I didn’t know black magic was so great. I want to learn more!
-Collock If you want to learn, I won’t stop you.
It was an optimistic thought that only a professor’s characteristic brain paralyzed person could do.
“Paralyze!”
Lee Han aimed at Professor Mortum with his staff along with the spell.
Then, the gathered magic power exploded with determination and attacked Professor Mortum.
“!!!”
Professor Mortum was momentarily taken aback by the much more magic power than he thought.
I tried to fight back, but the magic that had already covered my body wrapped around Professor Mortum as if it were suffocating.
…In the end, Professor Mortum collapsed backwards with his whole body stiff and paralyzed.
thud!
“…Professor? Professor!!”
Lee Han was frightened.
For a moment, disingenuous titles like ‘Professor Murderer’ flashed through my mind.
