Chapter 273
“Certainly the professor may be right.”
Lee Han thought so as he returned home from work in the garden.
Even though the phoenix was frantically reducing the concentration of her studies, it might be a mistake to get caught up in it.
If you try to stop something you can’t do, you’ll only suffer.
Rather, it might be right to accept the Phoenix as a skeleton headmaster and just do his job.
“Wardanas!! WODANAZ!!!”
The White Tiger Tower students ran toward Lee Han, who was walking from the side of the cabin.
Since there were few people around, Lee Han gave a warning.
“for a moment. tell me there Don’t come any closer.”
“Now is not the time for this!! Follow me!!”
“It’s more suspicious.”
“…ah! really not!! Trust me!!!”
The White Tiger Tower student screamed and rolled on the floor.
Even the friend next to him was shocked by his ugly appearance.
“…That’s right. Take the lead.”
If that was acting, even if it was a trap, it was desperate enough to make me wonder if I should go.
* * *
“……”
“……”
Lee Han couldn’t keep his mouth shut in shock.
The students from each tower who had come and gathered earlier had similar expressions.
Roaring!
< Basic Empire Geometry and Arithmetic > The warehouse where the final exam assignments were collected was on fire.
“…The warehouse must be flame-retardant? How are you burning?”
“The phoenix opened the warehouse door and went inside.”
“……”
Even if there was flame retardant magic on the outer wall of the warehouse, there was no way to survive if you opened the door and rolled around.
Lee Han looked around.
From the students bursting into laughter as if they had lost their mind, to the students crying and punching the floor with their fists.
< Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic > final exams were burning in an instant, so it was a natural reaction.
“Everyone, let’s put out the fire.”
“uh? uh… uh uh.”
“Isn’t it unreasonable to turn it off now?”
The students were buzzing, but Lee Han spoke with action.
Summons water from the air and throws it.
It was a simple magic, but only Lee Han could do it by continuously summoning a huge mass of water in front of the fire of the phoenix.
After repeating it dozens of times, the fire subsided. Lee Han made a bitter expression as he looked inside the ashes of the warehouse.
‘I worked hard on it.’
“I can’t.”
“???”
“Let’s start with the phoenix and study.”
“Wardanaz…!”
At Lee Han’s words, the students widened their eyes.
Are you really thinking of capturing the phoenix?
“I will join you!”
“I will dedicate my sword to you. Wodanaz!”
“Now that this has happened, final exams have nothing to do with it!”
“It is not.”
“Ughhh.”
* * *
Of course, no matter how angry Lee Han was, he wasn’t stupid enough to go hunting for the phoenix with only his friends.
“professor. Could you help me hunt the phoenix?”
“…yes?”
Professor Garcia was taken aback, but he did not discourage or reject the students.
“Of course, these experiences make a wizard grow, but I wonder if hunting the phoenix would be too difficult…”
“I plan to ask other professors to help me as well.”
At Lee Han’s words, Professor Garcia hesitated.
‘I don’t think so.’
Normally, professors at magic schools didn’t like to help students.
The old theory that magicians grow by exploring on their own was also a theory, but Professor Garcia doubted that it was because it was annoying to help the students with their work one by one.
“I. Lee Han student. In fact, the professors are busier than expected…”
Professor Garcia tried to persuade Lee Han without hurting him.
But Lee Han already knew.
“I know.”
Professors were originally the ones who made the students work, not the ones who helped the students with their work.
But sometimes there are exceptions.
bang!
“Professor Verdus! Please help our freshman!”
“what? no!”
Upon opening the door to the Sunggak Hall and entering, Professor Verdus, who was working hard with a hammer and chisel, refused with a single knife.
Lee Han was not taken aback and continued.
“If you help me, I will help you too!”
“Then fine!”
Professor Verdus jumped out of his chair.
Seeing this, Professor Garcia was worried and asked.
“I. Lee Han student? Professor Verdus is one of the professors who does a lot of work…”
No matter how much he needed Professor Verdus’ help, it was dangerous to make such a promise hastily.
“You don’t have to worry.”
“??”
“You haven’t decided what happened. All you have to do is do simple things and come up with excuses.”
“……”
Professor Garcia narrowed his eyes.
“…So you’re cheating?”
“no. professor. It’s not a trick, it’s a subtle tactic. Even the principal will agree.”
“……”
Professor Garcia couldn’t help but question whether character education was working properly.
bang!
“Professor Bagreck! I’m trying to hunt down a phoenix, please help me!”
Professor Voladi, who was seated, raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, and stood up.
Then he found the gathered students and gave them a slightly puzzled look.
“Wasn’t it one-on-one?”
“…I’m not that good.”
* * *
At first, Professor Garcia wondered if it would be okay, but when Professor Verdus and Professor Baegrek joined him, his thoughts changed.
Of course, Einrogard’s professors had to help students only at the ‘appropriate’ level.
Just because the students asked to get rid of the phoenix, you couldn’t just get rid of it.
However, the story is different if you receive the appropriate level of help from several people.
And who’s to say a little more help when you don’t have eyes to see…
good! I’ll join too!
“……”
“……”
The atmosphere of the first year students, who were friendly with the professors, froze coldly.
Skeleton Principal asked why.
Why is everyone like that?
“I think I was thrilled that the principal was helping me.”
Boy… It’s okay. I understand everything.
Skeleton Principal said generously. Lee Han cursed inwardly.
‘shit. I should have covered the eyes of the Death Knights somehow.’
Headmaster Skeleton couldn’t have just come to help.
It was clear that the professors had heard from the Death Knights that they were helping and came to interfere.
How naive!
ruler. So… how are you going to catch the phoenix? tell me Couldn’t it be that Einrogard’s students were just thinking about relying on the professor?
“No.”
Shh!
When Professor Garcia spoke, Headmaster Skeleton quickly covered his mouth.
keep quiet I won’t allow you to talk to each other with secret codes!
“There’s no such thing…”
Whether or not Professor Garcia was taken aback, Headmaster Skeleton was thorough.
Among the professors here, the only one who could help Lee Han was Professor Garcia.
‘Aren’t the other professors stopping you? …hmm. There’s no need to stop it.’
Lee Han looked at Professor Verdus and Professor Voladi and nodded.
Seeing the two of them, I could understand why the skeleton headmaster didn’t stop them.
“Of course I have something in mind.”
At first glance, it seemed impossible to catch a phoenix with invincible regenerative power that did not regard any attack as an attack.
But all creatures have weaknesses. The Phoenix was also the same.
First, how to subdue the phoenix by reducing its regenerative power and then inflicting blows.
‘It’s a good method, but it’s impossible at my current level.’
He did not even guess what kind of high-level magic could be used to reduce the regenerative power of a being of the size of a phoenix.
Another is to consume the Phoenix’s physical strength.
To be precise, it was the magic of the phoenix. The phantom beast, the Phoenix, was moving using its own enormous magical power as a power source.
If this mana was consumed as much as possible, the phantom beast, the Phoenix, had no choice but to be reverse summoned to another dimension.
“…That’s how you drain your mana.”
I did think about it. Although reckless.
Headmaster Skeleton didn’t say it was nonsense, but he didn’t say it was a good way either.
It was too ignorant to be a good method.
To make a phantom beast with enormous magical power exhaust itself until it runs out.
Even if the words were good, there was a high possibility that the person would leave first.
Of course, this was the only way out of all the ways freshmen could do it…
“Then let’s proceed. Professor Verdus. Cast flame retardant magic on the students.”
“uh? Everyone here?”
Professor Verdus, who was still, asked back in surprise.
“Nope? It’s a waste of horsepower.”
The wizard’s magical power was a precious resource. Especially for someone like Professor Verdus, who is immersed in artifacts without any spare time in the day.
It was strange to be a wizard who wastes like water, but it was normal to manage it so thoroughly.
“Do not worry. Professor Garcia!”
“I am listening. Lee Han student.”
“Please absorb my magical power.”
“Okay… what?”
The students were buzzing. The headmaster of the skull also asked with a sad look in his eyes.
Have you… ever absorbed magic before?
“no?!”
Professor Garcia said frightened.
To a magician, magic is like life, so the act of absorbing magic at will could be misunderstood.
Even more so, he had to be more careful as the opponent was his disciple.
“There’s no way I would do something like that!”
but. It’s not Bibble, and you’re not the kind of person to do that. I’m sorry.
“I didn’t do that!”
Professor Verdus grumbled. Seeing this, Lee Han suddenly had a memory that came to mind.
‘for a moment. Have you ever tried to absorb Professor Voladi’s magic power?’
Didn’t you try mana drain because you couldn’t control the iron ball because you had a lot of magic power?
Lee Han looked at Professor Boladi in bewilderment. Sensing his gaze, Professor Voladi put on a puzzled expression.
“Do you want to fight one-on-one?”
“…no.”
“Right.”
Lee Han turned his gaze to Professor Garcia.
“You can absorb my magic and give it to Professor Verdus.”
“Should I?”
Professor Garcia put on a very reluctant expression.
Should it be?
Skeleton Principal also wanted to do that. Professor Verdus was not even on the verge of losing due to lack of magic, so I wondered if I should take care of him that much.
Professor Verdus held out his arm without hesitation.
“Give me your magic quickly.”
You please shut up.
* * *
Just as the process of blood transfusion was not easy, the process of conveying mana to others was not easy.
The wizard’s inner world is another world.
As much as passing over the elements that make up the world’s order, there was no conflict.
Of course, a wizard on the level of Professor Garcia could alleviate the conflict.
Woo woo woo woo –
A sphere of condensed magical power appeared in the air. It was a sphere about the size of a human head.
However, the amount of magical power contained in it was unusual. It was a sphere in which various attributes and thoughts were filtered and refined, and the magic power of pure nature was compressed.
“Student Lee Han. If it’s hard, tell me.”
“it’s okay. professor. It doesn’t matter.”
“…From now on, just pretend to be tough.”
“?!”
Lee Han wanted to regret it belatedly.
“Then connect.”
A line stretched out from the sphere of magical power and connected to Professor Verdus.
“The power… the power…!”
get a little quiet
Skeleton Principal gave a scolding.
“Do you think this is enough?”
already?
“Yes! Enough.”
Professor Verdus was greedy, but he wasn’t the one who forced the end quickly for the sake of his students.
Knowing that well, Headmaster Skeleton and Professor Garcia looked at each other.
‘The purity of magic…’
‘…How high is it?’
