Chapter 130
“Forward one by one.”
As the exam began, Professor Garcia called the students to the front one by one.
And then he uttered an order.
“A soft veil of stars obscures the view.”
In an instant, mana intricately embroidered the air, intertwined like warp and weft. In the blink of an eye, the changes were so complex that freshmen could not dare to follow them.
As the curtain unfolded, the students in the seats couldn’t see Professor Garcia, even if they tried.
I knew it was there, but it felt like my brain was rejecting that information.
“Can you see everyone?”
“no.”
“yes.”
“?”
Of course, the students who answered thinking that everyone would not be able to see it stopped when the opposite answer came out from the side.
And Lee Han, who answered the opposite, hesitated as well. Everyone thought it was still visible.
“…can’t you see?”
His friends were taken aback by Lee Han’s question.
“Can’t you see?”
“Isn’t it only visible to smart people?”
“Then why can’t I see it?”
“Cainan Island. Don’t bullshit.”
Above the voices of the Blue Dragon Tower students, Professor Garcia’s calm voice was heard.
“ah. Are you a student Lee Han?”
“yes.”
Lee Han didn’t do anything wrong, but he felt like he did something wrong.
‘Is it because of magic?’
If he guessed that it was because of Lee Han’s magical power when he had problems at magic school, he was almost right.
And it was actually right.
“Thanks to magic, you resisted < Ildelid's Star Curtain >.”
The stronger the magical power, the naturally higher the ability to resist other magic.
Of course, that’s what the horse said. Just because magic power increased, resistance didn’t increase that dramatically. It was an almost imperceptible difference.
But sometimes there are exceptions.
The boy in front of Professor Garcia was just such an exception.
“Then what should I do?”
“You can turn around and not look this way.”
“That’s right.”
Lee Han was relieved that the method was simpler than he thought.
Professor Garcia knew how to cast a curse that weakened his resistance or give him a potion.
“I thought the professor would curse me.”
“Do you think the professor is like the principal?”
Hearing the whispers of his friends at the Blue Dragon Tower, it seemed that Lee Han wasn’t the only one who thought so.
* * *
The students who were called forward used magic as instructed by Professor Garcia.
“O burn like my soul!”
“Even if it’s the same magic, it’s not a good habit to memorize such a long spell before you can create an image. If you don’t increase your concentration so that you can summon it in any situation, it will be difficult to learn high-level magic.”
“Burn up!”
“Even if it works normally, there are times when magic doesn’t work in a tense situation like this. It’s good to relax as much as possible and get accustomed to it through a lot of practice on a daily basis.”
It was Lee Han’s turn.
Professor Garcia said while smiling kindly to relieve Lee Han’s tension.
“Student Lee Han, don’t use the fire element. ruler. Show me the water element.”
Lee Han made a lump of water.
It was a speed that was incomparable to other students, but Professor Garcia was not surprised at all.
“Give shape?”
Lee Han compressed the water mass into a bead shape.
“A shape change?”
The compressed orb changed into a shield shape.
“Control Steering.”
The shield began to rotate around Lee Han at a constant speed. to a stable, unshakable trajectory.
Professor Garcia nodded.
What would you say to a disciple who is already mastering magic at the next grade level?
“Perfect. perfect score.”
“thank you.”
“Student Lee Han. I understand talent, but don’t be in too much of a hurry to get ahead. You know what I mean?”
“of course.”
Lee Han wanted to clarify.
I really had no intention of moving ahead.
It’s just because the magic school keeps pushing Lee Han’s back!
“I have no intention of going ahead by overdoing it. professor.”
Professor Garcia stared at Lee Han’s determined face and sighed.
“Even if I say this now, I am a student who will go ahead without hesitation when the opportunity arises. Student Lee Han. It might be the sadness of a natural talent…”
“…?!”
Lee Han felt sorry for the absurd false accusation.
‘Why do you misunderstand me like that?’
“Why do you think so?”
“Professor Ingeldell said that student Lee Han tried to use multiple water beads.”
“……”
Lee Han was speechless at the unexpected answer.
‘Professor Ingeldell…!’
You mean you spread rumors about it again?!
Of course, Professor Ingeldell did nothing wrong objectively.
The disciple fought against the knights of the White Sheep Knights, and even won.
If you were a decent teacher, you had no choice but to talk to those around you. It was strange not to.
But to Lee Han, that didn’t matter. Lee Han grumbled inwardly.
“There was a really unavoidable situation…”
“That’s right. It might be the fate of a gifted wizard to move forward when he meets a reason he can’t help but try to stay still…” “……”
Lee
Han thought they were talking in different languages.
Why do we talk face-to-face, but the conversation seems to be in vain?
“But don’t push yourself too hard.”
Professor Garcia said last.
Of course, even after saying this, he knew that talented geniuses would jump out when the opportunity presented itself.
However, it was the teacher’s job to repeat the words over and over again, even if the words had no effect.
“of course. professor.”
Lee Han returned to his seat, seriously contemplating how to answer to make Professor Garcia believe in his sincerity.
“ruler. Then black magic… Student Lee Han.”
“……”
As soon as he sat down, he stood up again and walked forward, thinking Lee Han.
‘I think you might not believe my words.’
* * *
Black magic.
-ruler. I’ll summon an undead so shoot the curse.
-yes.
-Shoot the curse and avoid the curse. good job. You’ll need a bony hand. let me call
-yes. Appear, bony hand!
– That’s perfect. By the way, this student. It wasn’t something I said to student Lee Han, but an order to the undead I summoned.
-……
Summoning magic.
-This time, you summoned only one quill. Did you summon a lot the other day just to brag to your friends? No? Then why? Was it a mistake? Why did student Lee Han make such a rudimentary mistake?
-professor. I am in first grade.
-…Oops. sorry.
fantasy magic.
-ruler. Use fantasy magic.
-Heat, distort the air!
– Student Lee Han. That’s not the magic you learned in class. It’s even a 2nd circle magic.
-…Gone, illusion!
– Shall I give you two full marks?
-No…
After all the exams, Lee Han sighed and went back to his seat.
I got perfect marks for all of them, but my heart was heavy because I couldn’t solve Professor Garcia’s misunderstanding.
Seeing this, Gainando looked at Lee Han with an expression full of anticipation.
When I failed the test, the most reliable thing was a friend who failed together.
“You are ruined too! yes?!”
“I’m perfect.”
“……”
Gainando looked at Lee Han with an expression full of betrayal.
Then why are you sighing?!
* * *
The students’ faces seemed to shine exceptionally when the stormy paper test week ended and the golden Saturday arrived.
Lee Han also woke up from a sound sleep after a long time.
Actually, I was going to sleep more, but I had to wake up because Sharkan licked Lee Han’s face to wake him up.
Sharkan grabbed Lee Han and pulled him as if he was going for a walk.
I had to go out anyway because I had things to do in the morning…
‘…but do leopards need to be taken for a walk regularly?’
As Lee Han took Sharkan out of the main gate of the dormitory tower, he suddenly had a question.
Of course, Lee Han didn’t have expert knowledge on how to raise Sharkan, but if it’s a monster with a title like ‘Leopard King’, shouldn’t it show a more dignified and dignified appearance… -Kong
! Kreurreureung!
-Pu hee hee!
As he led the white horse out of the stable, Sharkan barked noisily. The white horse roared as if it would not give up.
Lee Han nodded his head with a daring expression.
“okay. We can take a walk while hating each other as much as we want. ruler. get away Don’t touch each other.”
However, Sharkan did not give up and rolled back and forth.
He kept pointing at the white horse with his forepaw as he groaned and dug into the ground.
Lee Han said firmly.
“Can not be done. the sharkan. That’s not your food.”
At Lee Han’s words, Sharkan rolled further and further to the side.
It was as if he was freaking out because he couldn’t understand what he was saying.
“If you can’t, then no. the sharkan. Stop complaining and stand up.”
-……
Sharkan, who continued to struggle, finally stood up as if he had given up. Lee Han nodded as if he did well.
“okay. the sharkan. I’ll give you something to eat when I get back.”
-Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
.
Sharkan growled lowly, and the white horse nodded.
It was as if they understood each other’s situation because they were going through similar difficulties.
‘Animals are really hard to understand.’
Lee Han looked at the two animals and thought to himself.
They were beings that I couldn’t understand even if I learned and learned.
“professor. hello.”
Lee Han, who spotted the lightning-walking professor from a distance, lowered his head.
Professor Lightning Walk, wearing a leather jacket, looked admirably at Lee Han, who was taking care of the animals early in the morning.
And he looked at Sharkan.
And I looked at Lee Han again.
“…Looks too ferocious for an undead hound? What?”
“ah. You know the monster called Sharkan that I asked about last time.”
“It was.”
Professor Lightningstep nodded.
To Lee Han’s question, Professor Lightning Walk kindly answered.
It is said that taming a monster is difficult, and the more violent and strong the monster, the more difficult it becomes.
It’s even more dangerous to turn such a monster into an undead, so you don’t know when it’ll aim for the black magician’s neck.
“That monster.”
“…Are you rebelling against me?? Did I treat you so harshly?”
Professor Lightningwalker asked in amazement.
If you wanted to die at a magic school, there were many better ways than that. Other than rebellion, there was no reason to use a monster like that as an undead pet.
“no. I received it because Professor Mortum gave it to me.”
“Oh…”
“Does it look okay?”
“no. I thought you were crazy.”
“…Still, Professor Mortum didn’t attack me, probably because he used magic. He is gentle and loyal.”
Lee Han unknowingly defended Professor Mortum.
Lightning Walk Professor Sharkan moved closer. Sharkan let out a low, bloody sound, alert as if threatening.
“Hmm…”
Professor Lightningstep narrowed his eyes and scanned Sharkan.
If Professor Mortum cast an additional spell to manage the temper while creating the undead summons, there should be traces of it.
“It’s not?”
“yes?”
“It’s not particularly enchanted to make it mellow or loyal.”
“……”
Lee Han involuntarily took a step back and increased his distance from Sharkan.
Sharkan barked with a wounded expression.
“So…then are you looking for an opportunity like that phone league?”
This time the white horse roared in protest.
Doubt your loyalty!
