Chapter 212
“Can’t help it.”
Not even in a dream did he notice Lee Han’s inner thoughts, the skeleton headmaster thought to himself.
Ogonin was not a wizard who would readily teach him that he was being threatened or humiliated, but seeing that he did… It
was clear that Yihan’s polite behavior had moved his heart quite a bit.
It was a pity that I couldn’t embarrass him more, but I couldn’t help it if I conceded that much.
It’s nothing else, but isn’t it taught directly by a great wizard like Ogonin?
It was a rare opportunity that was difficult for even the wizards of the Tower to receive.
Tsk. Ogonin. Pay off your debt with this. to teach well.
“I will… do my best.”
Skeleton Headmaster floated outside.
It was rude to stand next to another wizard passing on his teachings.
“Are you okay?”
“hmm?”
At Lee Han’s question, Ogonin smiled slightly.
Apparently, he wondered if he could be taught one-on-one like this by an archmage like Ogonin, without paying anything in return.
It was a natural reaction as he was still young.
“It’s okay. Not because of coercion or threats, but because I want to do it. You don’t have to care.”
“It’s not like that, but I’m afraid the principal will bully the people outside…”
“…It’ll be fine. maybe.”
Ogonin was slightly taken aback by the very objective and realistic apprenticeship of Gonadaltes.
…are you a disciple?
* * *
Hearing about the illusion magic Yihan knew, Ogonin nodded and said,
“Fahite’s fantasy magic series. Farhait That friend is a pretty decent illusion wizard.”
‘You’re being a little rude.’
Lee Han, who did not know the relationship between Ogonin and Fahait, thought to himself.
“Because it is a fantasy magic that uses fire elements as a base, it is easy for beginners to learn and apply. If I had to point out a downside, would it be that the effect is reduced in cold places?”
“Uh… I cast it in a cold place and it worked well.”
“hmm? aha. It must be because it has so much magical power.”
Ogonin nodded as if he understood.
However, there was already a slight suspicion mixed in Lee Han’s gaze.
“Fahite’s illusion magic is good magic, but I will teach you another magic. It’s a little rough, but it’s quite usable.”
In fact, Ogonin’s words were overly modest.
The magic Ogonin was trying to teach me was arcane magic Ogonin created himself.
Arcane magic that is respected and called ‘Ogonin’s Illusion Magic’ by other illusion wizards!
Many illusion wizards admired the magic’s neat structure, sharp thinking, and effective effects, but Ogonin did not publicize the arcane magic.
The other fantasy magic developed by myself was in contrast to what was published as a book.
One reason.
As difficult and demanding as it was, I was not sure if I would be able to properly pass it on if I did not directly pass it on.
‘But this boy deserves to learn.’
It wasn’t simply that he promised to do his best for Headmaster Skeleton.
Ogonin was not without pride to the extent that he recklessly handed over the arcane magic he had created to pay off his debt.
Ogonin already knew that Lee Han was an unusually polite and considerate boy.
It was like that at the magic school at the festival, and that was exactly what happened at the duel today.
In addition, if the magic talent is enough to be directly taught by the headmaster of the skeleton…
If it’s such a boy, it’s okay to teach him.
“What magic is it?”
“hmm. I didn’t give it a specific name… Other mages call it Ogonin’s Arcane Illusion Magic, so I guess you could call it that too.”
‘I’ve never heard of it.’
Lee Han was puzzled inwardly.
Of course, the empire’s magic system was vast, and of course there were unusual magics that Lee Han had never heard of.
However, it was true that magic he had heard of how great it was was more trustworthy than magic he had never heard of.
…that’s okay, right?
‘after. You seem to be thinking too negatively.’
Lee Han thought calmly.
After all, it seemed that Ogonin wasn’t a completely incompetent mage.
He runs a tower like this, is respected by other wizards, and has written a lot of books… …
of course, he showed a lot of ugliness in front of Lee Han, but when a person leaves active duty and retires, his senses get rusty.
Although he is now retired and his abilities have declined over time, it was clear that he was a great wizard in his prime.
Ogonin, who had never retired, continued without knowing Lee Han’s intentions.
“Paheit excels not only in fantasy magic but also in the application of fire elements, so he has developed several magics that combine the two realms. As I just said, these are magics with clear advantages.”
Imperial magic, like any other discipline, developed over time.
It was only natural that the wizards of the later generations watched, learned, and polished the magic of the predecessors.
And the tendency of this development was mainly focused on convenience and efficiency.
If there is a magic that takes 100 effort to learn, it will take 10 effort.
If there is a magic that requires 100 horsepower to cast, it will take 10 horsepower.
When magic developed in this way came out, the magic replaced the existing inefficient magic and brought about a new trend.
Farhait’s fantasy magic that Lee Han had learned was that type of magic.
It was easy to learn and apply because it was magic made by applying the flame element…
“But if there are advantages, there are also disadvantages. Faheit’s illusion magic is not suitable for mastering the illusion magic itself. Illusion magic that uses other elements is also inappropriate in that respect.”
If you create illusions with fire or cold soil, the difficulty of learning magic may go down, but it is far from the core of fantasy magic.
Ogonin thought that even if the difficulty was difficult, in order to properly master illusion magic, he had to go the difficult way from the beginning.
Lee Han, who was diligently writing it down, asked.
“Then how should I summon the illusion?”
“Only with pure magic. It is difficult to imagine and difficult to control, but that is the most direct way.”
Ogonin pointed to a chair next to the horse. The second Ogonin was sitting on the chair so casually that it was hard to notice.
“Touch it.”
Lee Han touched the second Ogonin.
Surprisingly, Ogonin did not distort or disappear. It had a solid sense of mass and endured.
It was a completely different fantasy from Faheit’s.
“It is an illusion that materializes the concept of myself.”
“You are amazing.”
Lee Han honestly admired it.
After all, even if you retire, where do you have your skills?
“You too will learn soon.”
Ogonin said with a smile in his eyes as he gazed at the future archmage.
“By the way, how many circle magic is this?”
“…Circle 5…”
“……”
Lee Han’s bewildered look made Ogonin realize the mistake he had made belatedly.
He had forgotten that the boy in front of him was a freshman because he was hanging out with the wizards of the tower.
“I didn’t mean to learn this now. Make sure you know this as a magic that you will learn someday.”
“ah. yes. okay.”
Ogonin hastily changed his words. However, Lee Han’s eyes were slightly cold.
“The magic I teach isn’t the only difficult thing about creating your own alter ego. A lot of things are relatively easy.”
“okay. for a moment. But why didn’t you tell me that first…”
In response to Lee Han’s question, Ogonin pretended not to hear and turned away.
Creating a phantasmagoric clone of one’s own entity was a really advanced magic, and there were many much easier magics in fantasy magic.
1 circle magic. < Ogonin's Recognition of Feelings >.
It was a semi-essential magic for a fantasy wizard who could read the emotions of surrounding creatures.
Depending on the other person’s feelings, the fantasy magic they use also changes.
2nd circle magic. < Ogonin's Growing Anxiety > < Ogonin's Rising Fear > < Ogonin's Rising Despair >.
It was a mental interference-type fantasy magic that directly affects the emotions of the opponent.
Afterwards, in order to learn more advanced mental interference magic, he had to learn the tricks with these magics.
3 circle magic. < The Fog of Ogonin >.
It was a magic that spreads a mist of illusion around the wizard to distract enemies from aiming properly when they attack.
If the magic was properly cast, it could protect allies in a fairly wide range from ranged attacks.
‘…something is strange.’
Lee Han, who was practicing while explaining one by one, felt a sense of incongruity.
Magic was too…
difficult.
Even within the same circle, the level of difficulty varies widely depending on the type of magic, but all the magics taught by Ogonin were all too difficult.
To the point where Lee Han felt uncomfortable.
“Ugh. Is it too difficult?”
Ogonin carefully asked if he had noticed Yihan’s thoughts.
“yes. It’s not easy because I’m lacking.”
“It’s not because you’re lacking. This magic is a very difficult magic.”
“no. It must be because I am lacking.”
“no. It’s a really difficult magic.”
Ogonin kindly explained to Lee Han when he seemed to misunderstand.
As I pointed out the disadvantages of Faheit’s illusion magic earlier, Ogonin did not prefer to add other elements to illusion magic.
Refusing any compromise or improvement, only pure fantasy magic!
The difficulty level will go up, but if you look at it from a long distance, you will see that it is the shortest path in the end.
Of course, Ogonin’s arcane magic was single-minded fantasy magic without any compromise or improvement.
If magic like < Ogonin's Emotion Recognition > was another fantasy magic, he would have used all the factors such as the movement of the opponent’s pupils, muscles, or change in body temperature.
However, there is only one < Ogonin's Recognition of Feelings >.
To the point of persistence, he judged only on the other person’s soul.
The difficulty must be difficult.
“……”
Lee Han, who heard the explanation, made a confused expression.
After all, like a retired wizard who has passed his time, teaching is a bit…
* * *
Did you learn well?
“I feel like I’ve stepped out of my way now because teaching is difficult.”
I guess so. Ogonin is a fundamentalist. However, even in the Empire, there are not many wizards who adhere to pure classical fantasy magic like Ogonin. If you learn well, it will help you in many ways.
“I will try.”
He answered yes, but Lee Han doubted whether he would dig deep into the magic he had learned today.
There are still a lot of magic to learn, but if you’re going to do such a difficult magic…
You’re lucky though.
“?”
Ogonin must have taken a liking to you. I saw that you said you would set aside time every week to teach me. come every weekend I will connect Ogonin.
“……”
Lee Han’s expression hardened.
Even if it’s annoying to learn magic on the weekend, endure it. Because this is a really good opportunity. It’s not heartbreaking.
“I didn’t say anything.”
What are you doing after swearing with your eyes?
When Lee Han tried to get into the carriage, fantasy wizards came running out of the tower.
Headmaster Skeleton frowned at the sight of him trying to say goodbye.
It seemed that friendship would make him sick.
“I will never forget today’s duel. I wish you all the best.”
“I hope that one day your name will be heard in the dueling world. really. What is your family name and name?”
“This is Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”
“okay. Lee Han of the Wodanaz family. As expected of an outstanding knight, the family name… hm?”
The illusion wizards hesitated.
Yes?
Meanwhile, Headmaster Skeleton closed the carriage door.
“Wait a minute. dismissal.”
Don’t be bothered and go away. before whipping.
“I just said the Wardanaj family… Ahhh! You wield a whip for just such a thing!”
Archmages don’t lie. Get out of here!
