Chapter 270
One of the students hastily removed the cloak and shook it up and down to put out the fire.
However, there were more red feathers than expected. The students screamed as the number of feathers increased as if the rain was getting stronger.
“Get under the shade!”
“In which shade!? It’s not something you can do by hiding under a tree!”
Chow ah!
Professor Alpen swung his cane and set a huge curtain over the heads of the students.
The red feathers clattered against the curtain, making a sharp sound.
“Thank you persimmon!”
“The phoenix is a mischievous creature in many ways. As much as they like to play pranks, you’d better be careful.”
‘If I play around with you twice, I’ll get burned.’
Lee Han held back his absurdity and looked up.
As if unaware of the situation below, the phoenix was waving its feathers high in the distant sky.
The students stared at each other and threw the jewelry they had made to commemorate the phoenix to the ground.
“That’s why Wodanaz told you to study instead of celebrating the phoenix.”
“How could I have known this would happen!”
* * *
“Coke. A phoenix appeared? No luck.”
Professor Mortum clicked his tongue when he heard that the phoenix had appeared.
New students have a lot of work to do, but a phoenix even appeared.
“I set a little fire, but nothing more. I was quiet.”
Guinando secretly made an excuse as to whether he liked the phoenix.
‘Isn’t it a problem starting with the fire?’
“Coke. It must be now. However, the characters of phantom beasts are usually eccentric. Even if you’re fine now, who knows when you’ll act on a whim?”
Lee Han had already seen the sight of a phoenix igniting the surroundings with just a few turns of its feathers.
Of course, I couldn’t help but worry.
“What do you think the Phoenix will do?”
“Coke. I didn’t get it yet. The phantom beasts should just exist again. They’re like storms who don’t know how to control their power. Wouldn’t your whole body burn if I just flew in and hugged you?”
As Professor Mortum said, phantom beasts with powerful power were beings that brought destruction and chaos wherever they went, regardless of their intentions.
As much as you can’t control your own strong power, you can’t avoid causing damage to those around you.
If, with an eccentric personality, he behaves on a whim that I don’t understand…
“Collock. In comparison, how beautiful are the undead? This well-controlled and predictable beauty.”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and his friends were speechless and silent.
‘Even if it’s a bit dangerous, I think it’s better to be a phoenix than an undead.’
‘Shh. The professor is complaining.’
“So, is the work going well?”
“yes.”
The field of black magic that Lee Han and his friends learned this semester was largely about cursed poison bones.
They were magic that had the commonality of not being very popular anywhere.
– Coke. I will not give you a separate assignment before the final exam.
-hurray! – Coke. Instead, let’s replace it with a simple tarsus crafting.
-……
Temporary.
Originally, it was used for the purpose of checking the identity of each other by splitting the ornaments in half and then matching the shapes together in case of meeting later
…
– Take a good look.
Professor Mortum split the bone plaque in half. Then, an intense cursed energy emanated from one side.
Click!
However, the energy of the curse disappeared in an instant when the tarsus were put together again.
-The power of the curse on one side. The other side contains the power of Haeju. Combining the two makes it an ordinary accessory, but its power is revealed the moment the two are split.
Curse magic was relatively easy to cast and fast, but if the opponent was a skilled wizard, there were too many ways to stop it.
Poison magic was similar. If properly poisoned, it would be fatal, but it was difficult to poison if the opponent was a skilled wizard as much as it was poison made of magic.
In order to compensate for such shortcomings, warlocks usually made stronger curses and stronger poisons and carried them with them.
Of course, if you use things prepared in advance, their power will increase several times.
In black magic, tarsus was an item to keep things safe.
The problem is…
“Cheer. Kuck. Cuckoo.”
Rapadell coughed and tears welled up at the smoky smoke.
A lump of curse leaked out of the magic circle and flew through the air.
“Acch. Acquire! Get drunk!!”
“ah. Quiet your sneeze! Do you use the studio alone!”
When Gainando reprimanded him, Rapadel glared at him in tears, but Rapadel’s condition was not too good to refute.
“You bastard… Hachwi! Achoo!!”
“Anyway, guys with poor skills get more angry. Isn’t it Lee Han?”
The complexion of Gainando, who had been condescending because he was still fine, suddenly changed.
“…Lee Han. My body… I can’t move…”
“You’re addicted.”
Lee Han said as if he was sorry.
Raphael was making a tarsus with a curse and Gainando was making a tarsus with poison, but this was no easy task.
It was very easy for a wizard to suffer as he had to immerse the curse and poison in the tarsus and store it.
Ymirg carefully dipped the bone medallion half into the bronze basin. With the sound of bubbling, I could feel the curse in the basin transferring to my bones.
‘Ugh.’
As he inherited the blood of a giant, his magic resistance was higher than the other students, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid of poison or curses.
As human beings, it is impossible not to be afraid of poison or curses.
“Uhhhhhhh.”
Ymirg groaned and pulled out half of the bone medallion with thick tongs. Fearing that the curse would spread if it touched her body even a little.
Cheeik!
After barely attaching the other half of the bone medallion, Ymirg was able to sigh.
“…aaaaaaaa!!”
“?!”
Lee Han looked at Ymirg in surprise.
“what’s the matter? What happened?”
“Bare bare hands! bare hands!”
“ah. What else am I saying?”
A friend who was learning the same magic was so unconcerned that Ymir immediately wondered if he had misunderstood.
But looking again, that friend from House Wodhanaj had his hand dipped into the cursed bronze basin.
“This is fine.”
“…????”
“are you okay. don’t die.”
“Oh no.”
Ymirg was embarrassed to see Rapadel and Guinando stretching behind the table.
It looks like he could die…
Lee Han, who had been watching Ymirg from the sidelines like a monster, focused on his work.
Lee Han did not just put down his gloves and tongs and do it with his bare hands.
It was more difficult than expected to make the tarpaulin.
Bones were a good medium for infusing curses or poisons, but just dipping and stirring them a few times didn’t make them properly dwell.
I had to put a lot of effort into making a proper tarsus.
Apply a combination of various reagents so that the curse can easily dwell on the bones, dip them in the curse, check if the bones absorb the curse properly, and if not, drive the curse into the bones by moving magic power… As if carefully painting over
paint This process of applying the curse layer by layer required persistent patience rather than a flash of inspiration.
‘And the more I do it, the more I understand why black magic isn’t popular.’
Lee Han grabbed the bone fragment with his bare hands and tried to feel the flow of the curse.
It was difficult to feel this flow when using gloves or tongs.
“Geuuuuk… Lee Han. A coat next to me.”
Gainando barely got up from the studio floor and pointed at the coat next to the chair.
Lying in a paralyzed state made me feel three times colder.
“Take it.”
“Thank you… before evil! You can’t see ahead!”
“Oops. sorry.”
* * *
When the time came, Professor Mortum opened the door of the studio and reappeared.
“Coke. Are you all done?”
“yes.”
“yes.”
Lee Han and his friends nodded and held out their heads. The faces of the students were drawn after a while.
“Let’s see…”
Professor Mortum split the Gainando tarsus. Then, a good amount of poisonous air gushed out from inside.
When the professor snapped his fingers, the miasma that spread from the tarsus twirled and circled, then entered the tarsi again.
“Coke. It was made quite well.”
“…Is that true!?”
Gainando was so surprised that he fell backwards. As I grabbed Raphael’s arm to barely keep my balance, Rapadel glared at Gainando in disgust.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“I didn’t hear that it was well made in that other lecture…”
Gainando said with a shy face.
I was surprised by Professor Mortum’s praise as I had never heard it praised in other lectures.
Then Professor Mortum gave a rare benevolent smile.
“Coke. A wizard cannot excel in all magic.”
“?”
“?”
Ymirg and Rapadel glanced at Lee Han. However, Professor Mortum didn’t notice and continued talking.
“Your talent is in black magic. As long as a black mage excels in black magic, there is no reason to envy other magic. Coke. Isn’t it?”
“you’re right!”
“Prince, you don’t study at all.”
Raphael said as if it was absurd.
As the White Tiger Tower students with poor grades were forced to learn from Lee Han, Rapad El knew how much Gainando hated studying.
The White Tiger Tower students were also forced to sit and play with their quills, but Kainando tried to escape alone.
“Quiet. Are you jealous?”
“Such a madman…”
Seeing Guinando arrogantly saying that he made one verse well, Rapadell was stunned.
“Coke. This is…”
Professor Mortum split Lee Han’s tarsi.
Then, after a moment of silence, he looked at Kainan Island. Guinando, who noticed the situation, cried out in tears.
“professor. Please evaluate objectively, do not compare and compare!”

Lightning Walk Professor looked at the mountain peak curiously.
The phoenix, which had been floating in the sky and scattering its feathers, seemed to be tired of it and had flown over the peaks of the mountain range. Thanks to this, a red halo was shining behind the peak.
“Awesome. The phoenix isn’t something you can easily see.”
Lee Han glared at his friends. Friends averted their gaze.
“It is very lucky. Even if you want to meet a phoenix, it’s not something you can meet.”
‘There must be a logical error.’
Professor Lightning’s words were not easily accepted.
In that sense, even if he wanted to meet the king of the frost giants, he was not a person he could meet, but Lee Han did not feel particularly lucky.
No matter how rare it was, the phantom beast that made fire rain down from the sky couldn’t be good.
“I guess I should stop talking about the phoenix and start today’s lecture.”
Lightningwalker pointed at the huge pots with his chin. The students were puzzled by the cauldrons seen only in alchemy lectures.
how?
“It is not very difficult to do today. It’s a lot easier than I usually do. I felt sorry for you guys suffering from the final exams, so I decided to change my mind…”
Lee Han was never fooled.
‘What the hell are you going to do?’
thud!
“ruler. Come here. Cerberus.”
The students froze at the sight of the huge three-headed dog.
The head in charge of the center of Cerberus looked around at the students and his eyes twinkled.
-Kong!
“write… Can I knock it down?”
When Lee Han unconsciously asked, Professor Lightning Walk replied as if he were talking nonsense.
“Don’t make ridiculous jokes. Would you like me to do that?”
“Right? Haha.”
Lee Han rubbed his chest inwardly.
I knew I had to fight!
