Chapter 227,
it wasn’t that he didn’t think, ‘It’s strange, I must have been attacked in the morning to implement something like that’, but Lee Han decided not to say it.
Even if I said it, it didn’t seem like it would look very good.
“Commonly, some wizards only look at the results of summoning magic and mistake it for the easiest and most convenient magic… If you came here with that kind of misunderstanding, please leave now.”
Professor Millay said in a stern voice. Gainando, who was about to get up because he wanted to go to the bathroom, noticed and sat down again.
‘Well, summoning magic tends to require a lot of ground work.’
Lee Han thought hard about what he had just heard, not noticing that Gainando was groaning beside him.
Wizards of other schools had to cast several spells in succession to turn the dancing sword into magic.
But the summoning wizards just had to summon the dancing sword.
Looking at these results alone, summoning magic seemed much easier and more convenient… but
of course, if there were advantages, there were also disadvantages. There is no such thing as perfect magic.
In order to summon the Dancing Sword at once, he had to do a lot of work.
Like the one that Professor Millay had just thrown, the octahedral-shaped metal that had been treated with magic (that’s why summoning magic needed a lot of reagents like this), either by compressing the magic in advance, or by compressing the magic into a magic circle.
‘That said, signing a contract with an intelligent being is just as difficult.’
Lee Han looked at the bone fragment of Sharkan hanging from his belt.
Right now, if he hadn’t made an effort to become close to Sharkan, he might have bitten his neck while he was sleeping.
Dalgrak!
Sharkan’s bone fragments moved in protest.
“Today, we will practice making reagents and magic circles needed for summoning magic. It will be tedious, but remember that no mistakes are made in summoning magic. It is not uncommon for a summoned item to attack a mage.”
“Lee Han. Lee Han.”
When Gainando touched it, Lee Han nodded as if he understood.
“Don’t worry. Guinan Island. I will help you.”
“!”
Ha-su was the first student to hear and understand what the professor was teaching.
The students who came to the lecture room to listen to what the professor was teaching and then tried to understand it later were middle-class students.
An experienced student has already studied some of what the professor is teaching before coming.
And Lee Han was such a person.
A person who has no trust in the professor at all!
“ruler. You may know this quill summoning magic circle a few times, but if you try to make it yourself from scratch, there are some difficult parts. Here, around this ◇ pattern is a typical trap…”
“That… it’s not that…”
“Even if it’s difficult, be patient. I’ll give you a good explanation.”
“You want to go to the bathroom, you bastard!”
* * *
Nod –
‘That’s right.’
Lee Han lamented at the white tiger top student nodding his head beside him.
Looking at this part, I could definitely feel that my friends were in the first year.
Sleeping like that
If Lee Han were John (though he would never sleep), he would never sleep so complacently.
‘I must have already been caught by Professor Millay.’
Looking around, I saw that not only the students in the White Tiger Tower were dozing off, but all the towers were dozing off.
It was like that too.
If you continue to sit in your seat and draw magic circles using specially designed magic ink and various magic stone powders and engrave letters and patterns, even a wizard with a steel-like mind will not be able to sleep.
Like Lee Han, there were not many people who could do this kind of work repeatedly for 24 hours.
‘Are you done?’
Lee Han confirmed the completed magic circle.
It was a magic circle containing various materials such as metal pieces and magic stone powder, not just paper and ink.
The more complicated the item to be summoned with the summoning magic, the more complicated the magic circle will be.
Lee Han also made a few mistakes and had to rewrite it.
Even if you summon a magic quill that scrawls on your own, ‘I am a student learning summoning magic’, it’s this much.
I was worried about how complicated it would become if I went higher up.
‘Come to think of it, a professor can make his disciples work.’
Thinking of the amount of work behind the splendid magic made Lee Han bitter.
People in the Empire thought of splendid miracles when they said magic, but in fact, everything in the world works similarly.
“Good job.”
Before I knew it, Professor Millay came closer and was staring at Lee Han’s work.
Due to Professor Millay’s strict personality when it comes to praise, it was a compliment that he did a really good job.
“thank you. I was lucky.”
“…sorry for misunderstanding.”
“?”
Lee Han wondered what Professor Millay was talking about.
‘What do you mean misunderstanding?’
Looking at how he got along with Gainando earlier, did he mistakenly believe that Leehan’s summoning magic level was at the same level as Gainando?
If that was the case, I would have apologized.
“no. it’s okay.”
“Other students will still take longer. In the meantime, feel free to do whatever you want.”
“Uh…”
Lee Han hesitated.
It was easy to misunderstand, but I couldn’t just ignore it when professors said things like that.
It was because the meaning of that word differed depending on the professor’s personality.
When Professor Garcia said, ‘Do what you want to do in your spare time, student Lee Han’, it was really good.
I could lay down on a few chairs in the classroom and take a nap.
However, taking a nap when the skeleton headmaster said, ‘Do what you want to do with the rest of your time,’ was suicidal.
Perhaps the moment I closed and opened my eyes, I might have been moved to the punishment room.
‘There’s a simple way to know.’
“Will the professor confirm the results?”
If you check the magic circle or the results of reagent production, it’s not really free, but it’s more like ‘don’t play hard and try hard’.
If you don’t check, you can rest comfortably.
‘Mmm.’
The old professor was troubled by the words of a student from the Wardanaj family.
Originally, Professor Millais did not like to treat a student specially.
equality and strictness.
That was Professor Millay’s conviction.
That’s why, no matter how talented Lee Han is in summoning magic, seeing the additional results separately from the other students…
‘But there is a mistake.’
Professor Millay reflected.
Professor Millais himself, who must abide by the rules of fairness to the students, initially treated the boy from the Wardanaz family with prejudice.
I thought he was an arrogant student drunk on his talent, so I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
If so…
“Okay. Let me check.”
“……”
‘Damn it.’
Lee Han grumbled inwardly.
After all, Professor Millais was like a skeleton headmaster.
What does freedom mean?
“All right.”
Lee Han sighed inwardly and started playing with the quill.
Of all the things Lee Han can do now, Professor Millay won’t say things like ‘Is that all?’…
‘Is that a floating shield too?’
Lee Han received Professor Voladi’s passing grade for all forms of elemental transformation, but he was not without his good and bad points.
Apparently, the wizard had no choice but to be familiar with the form he used often.
In that respect, the forms that Lee Han is most familiar with now are marbles and shields.
A shield would be more impressive than an orb.
‘It’s impossible to move autonomously even with magic right now, so I’ll have to fill in some parts with expedients.’
Even if a shield that blocks by moving on its own is impossible, a shield that blocks by being fixed in place can still be made with various elements.
This alone can make you look a little weak, so even if it’s incomplete, add a little movement…
‘But what are you trying to do?’
As long as Professor Millay is a magician, he couldn’t be without curiosity.
Even more so, Lee Han is one of the most gifted students in this grade when viewed objectively.
It was only natural to wonder what he would do when given his free time to such a student.
‘Looking at the shape, it’s a shield.’
Professor Millay was a little sorry.
It was a bit too greedy.
Perhaps the last time he handled a water orb, it was evident that he had strong confidence in the elemental form of water.
But the precedent was wrong.
First of all, you have to get used to the water shield magic and draw the magical structure and flow of the magic even with your eyes closed before you can draw it as a magic circle.
It would have been reckless to step out of the magic circle first without doing that.
Even if it was the same water elemental magic, the bead form and the shield form were completely different forms.
‘But failure is also a lesson.’
Professor Millay nodded faintly and cheered inwardly.
There was no magician who did not fail.
It just depends on how you accept that failure.
* * *
“Everyone did a great job.”
Lee Han raised his head.
Other students were also stretching their magic circles.
‘I’m almost done. Too bad.’
“I think everyone will be very sad when today’s lecture ends like this.”
At Professor Millay’s words, the students hesitated, not knowing whether they could answer ‘yes!’.
“yes!”
Seeing Gainando respond coolly, the students were amazed.
Professor Millais was generous.
“Of course.”
“It’s too boring…”
Lee Han poked Gainando’s side from an angle he couldn’t see. Gainando was speechless.
“But today’s course is a course that a wizard who walks the path of summoning magic will go through thousands and tens of thousands of times in the future. It would be good to prepare in advance.”
Professor Millay brandished his staff with his horse.
Then the shape of the classroom changed. Students were pushed into a corner, leaving a large empty space in the middle.
“For the rest of the day, we will learn about contracts.”
“…!”
“!!!”
The students’ faces brightened.
It is not a complicated and painful summoning of an inanimate object, but a summoning to meet, communicate, and conclude a contract with a being from another realm.
In fact, this was a more general image of summoning magic.
‘Because it’s dangerous.’
As Lee Han, who had no choice but to make a contract with an unheard-of spirit like Perkuntra, he was well aware of the dangers of such a contract.
Why would a contract with an intelligent being be dangerous?
It was because the other party could also fuck the wizard at any time.
Especially if the wizard was a first year student. It was not a matter of tricking young wizards by a demon who had been roaming in the Pandemonium for hundreds of years.
Of course, Professor Millais was well aware of the danger.
“Never, ever try to peek or explore other planes when only students are present.”
Currently, the magic circle that Professor Millais cast in the center of the classroom was a passage with a kind of safety device.
A passage where you can get a glimpse of the spirit realm, but the power of the spirits you can access is limited.
Beings more powerful than a certain amount could not approach at all.
‘Professor is so thorough with safety rules, but I don’t know what kind of bullshit the seniors did to summon the king of the frost giants.’
Lee Han cursed at his absent seniors and fell into thought.
“Student Lee Han.”
“yes?”
“Student Lee Han, please use this magic circle.”
“May I ask why?”
When Professor Millay called a magic circle other than the spirit world magic circle, Lee Han was puzzled.
“I heard that the spirits avoid students. I found one of the realms of the undead and opened it.”
“…thank you.”
Lee Han tried hard not to show his bitterness.
