Chapter 294
‘Oops. What am I thinking.’
Lee Han immediately came to his senses.
Of course, Baldrogard’s educational environment was a little more comfortable than Einrogard’s, but that didn’t necessarily have to do with magic skills.
Wizards who graduated from Baldrogard could also be outstanding wizards.
Besides, the opponent is a graduate.
Lee Han, who was only a freshman, was never someone to belittle.
“Wardanaz. I am ready.”
Asan whispered with a determined face.
“Mrs. Wardanaz. Please tell me when you need a pickpocket.”
Ratford also whispered with a determined face.
The back was quite busy as people were preparing to see the magic, clearing tables and pushing chairs.
“Ratford. I’m sorry, but this is just a magic test. Not a duel.”
“But wouldn’t it be a little easier if the opponent’s staff disappeared?”
At those words, Asan was tempted. Lee Han said firmly.
“If you do that, there will be an uproar in a strange direction. Just use magic.”
“But Wordanaz. You never know what kind of magic your opponent will use.”
It was not a duel, but a place to check the wizard’s skills.
In this case, rather than clashing with each other with all their might, when one side gave a difficult problem, the other side solved it with magic.
This time, the wizard from Valdrogard will give a test and Lee Han and his friends will solve it.
“Don’t worry too much. Because we are in first grade. The other side will take that into consideration as well. If you give an overly difficult test, you will lose face.”
There was no way he would come to the Dalcard family’s mansion and disgrace the Dalcard family wizard. If that happens, there will be a headwind right away.
“So don’t worry unnecessarily and focus on not making unnecessary mistakes. got it?”
Asan nodded.
Ratford nodded too.
“Just in case…”
“I’m not stealing.”
“yep.”
* * *
While Lee Han and his friends had a strong antipathy toward Valdrogard, Do-in had no particular antipathy toward Einroguard.
Of course, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t envious of Ein Rogard, who always has the reputation of being the best magic school in the Empire.
However, Doin loved and trusted Baldrogard more than that.
-Because the people of the empire are inert, but if you really know how to see properly, you’ll think that Baldrogard is the best and most excellent magic school!
If Lee Han or the other Einroguard mages heard of it, he was going to challenge for a duel right away, but at least the swordsman thought so.
As such, the swordsman did not have any antipathy toward Einrogard.
What he was thinking about now was not how to disgrace those Einrogard students, but how to save face.
‘Ahsan of the Dalcard family is a boy with a pretty good reputation, and the other side is the Wardanaz family, so they won’t make a ridiculous mistake, right?’
Checking your magic skills at a place like this was close to a kind of play.
The one who gives the test also has to do well so that the other person can pass it.
What if the magic of a school that is difficult or unfamiliar to the opponent is tested?
At that time, the atmosphere will become as cold as ice.
And it was clear that the wizard who took the test would be treated condescendingly by the Dalcard family and everyone related to it for a while.
Just thinking about it was a terrible nightmare.
‘Which test would be good…’
Do-in wondered what kind of exam he should take so that the students could easily pass it and the people present would be able to easily understand and admire it.
“Come to think of it, what kind of magic are you three interested in?”
“I am interested in precognitive magic.”
“I am an illusion magician.”
“I… um… I haven’t decided yet.”
Even wizards who have trained magic for over ten years can change schools if necessary, but it was not surprising that a wizard who had just learned magic could not decide on a school.
Thinking so, Do-in did not notice that the two students were looking at Lee Han in bewilderment.
‘I’ll have to choose the easiest magic between fantasy magic and foresight magic.’
After contemplating, the swordsman made a decision and swung his cane.
“Illusion, turn into a chain of elements.”
One of the advantages of illusion magic was that its appearance was gorgeous.
It may sound like a joke, but this was a more important advantage than I thought.
When most people see magic, they do not see the mysterious flow of magical power or the deep philosophy contained within it. I just saw what it looked like.
Thanks to this, when a warlock cannot find an investor and searches the tomb, the fantasy wizard can comfortably conduct research while receiving support from some nobles.
That advantage was also revealed today. Applause and exclamation came out from all over the place as fantasy magic was revealed in the spacious hall space.
‘Isn’t that too slow?’
However, Lee Han was puzzled inwardly.
Compared to the magic school professors, the master’s casting speed was too slow.
Of course, from the point of view of the swordsman, it was unfair that there was no choice but to say, ‘If I can cast it faster than the Einrogard professors, I’ll do it.’
Charleureuk!
“Do you see this chain of visions? It is linked to the handcuffs that bound my wrists.”
“I see. Sir Doin!”
The sorcerer master raised his wrists and showed the people the phantom handcuffs and phantom chains connected.
The phantom chain that stretched to the floor was connected in four places, and at the end of it was a phantom pillar.
“Casting the appropriate elements on the pillars will break the chains one by one. Will the wizards of Einrogard be able to rescue me! We ask for your support!”
Applause and applause again.
Do-in was better at talking skills and showmanship that made people happy than magic skills.
He was a magician who was bound to be popular with others at salons and gatherings. Lee Han was also slightly impressed.
‘If a wizard goes to a meeting, he has to do it that way to gain popularity.’
It was definitely a lesson in many ways.
While Lee Han nodded that he would try to copy it later when needed, Asan whispered in a worried voice.
“Wardanaz. Can we succeed at once?”
“I don’t think you have to succeed all at once.”
The illusion magic cast by the master was a kind of puzzle.
Four pillars connected by four chains.
If you cast the right element on top of that, the pillars will loosen one by one and the chain will disappear.
In other words, even if you cast the wrong elemental magic, you can just cast another magic…
“But my brother and sister are watching. What will you say if you don’t succeed the first time?”
“Then can’t you tell me to try it?”
Asan smiled and shook his head. Lee Han clicked his tongue in regret.
‘To think I had to be treated so unilaterally just because I was born a few years earlier.’
Originally, this kind of thing was to be solved through trial and error, but you noticed it like that.
Lee Han said nothing more.
If there are advantages as a great noble family, there are also disadvantages. It didn’t matter what others said.
“There is a way to solve it at once.”
“how?”
“Break it down with force.”
Lee Han briefly explained the method of destruction that he had learned from Baldur Orn, an excellent fantasy wizard.
Instead of figuring out the structure of fantasy magic and finding loopholes in it to cancel it, it was just a method of destroying fantasy magic itself by swinging it hard.
“Is that possible?”
“Of course not. Magic with a strong structure holds up quite well.”
“no. Wodanaz. What I said was whether or not you could release that kind of mana.”
Asan said as if it was absurd.
The theory makes sense. If you hit it with that much magical power, the magic will inevitably be shaken.
But can you really extract that mana?
“I don’t need that much. If this is enough…”
Lee Han held up his staff and lightly discharged his mana to demonstrate to Asan.
Kwajik!
I didn’t even get a direct hit, but the lightly brushed illusion chain collapsed with a crackling sound.
And other chains connected to the chain of illusions also collapsed, along with the handcuffs…
Pajijijik!
“……”
“……”
Lee Han, who was about to demonstrate, was taken aback, and Asan, who was watching, was also taken aback.
And, of course, Doin was also embarrassed.
‘what…!?’
When I asked him to solve the fantasy puzzle, he suddenly smashed it with a single cane. I couldn’t help but be surprised as a human being.
‘What did you do? Didn’t it seem like you were casting some kind of magic? Surely I wouldn’t have broken it ignorantly by force. Did you teach me magic that I didn’t know about at Ein Lorgard?’
His head was complicated, but Do-in reacted first.
“It’s great! Great! You must have seen it too! The wizards of Einrogard have dispelled the magic at once!”
The onlookers applauded in amazement.
Among them, those who knew a little about magic tilted their heads at something different from what they expected, but clapped equally.
Because it worked out well!
‘I was surprised.’
The doujin stroked his chest inwardly.
Einrogard’s students behaved unexpectedly, so the reaction was almost delayed.
If I made a mistake, I wonder how the atmosphere would have cooled…
“Sir Doin! Show me just one more!”
“!”
“!!”
Both Lee Han and Doin were surprised.
A man with a slightly intoxicated face, as if he had already had a drink, shouted in an excited voice.
“When and where else will you see this kind of magic!”
“you’re right!”
“It’s an eye-opening feeling to see the magic performed by the best wizards in the empire!”
Excited people tend to want to see more of anything.
Do-in wanted to regret it, but it was already too late. Everyone was expecting a lot.
“Good… good. Then, with the next magic…”
The master was once again nervous.
The people sitting at the table raised their glasses and shouted, ‘One more time!’
I couldn’t make the test the same or easier than before. It had to be a bit more difficult.
And it had to be understood intuitively in the eyes of the gathered people, and it had to be a test in an atmosphere where young students could make mistakes even if they made mistakes.
Besides, the students might have consumed a lot of mana right now, so I had to keep in mind that mana depletion might happen along the way…
“Aren’t you tired or dizzy?”
“yes. it’s okay.”
“I’m fine too.”
“…great. Then the next magic…”
* * *
Boom!
When Lee Han closed his eyes to avoid the phantom monster summoned for the fourth time and then released it, the people burst into cheers again.
clap clap clap clap clap-
‘Oh no.’
Do-in was surprised.
To be honest, while I was just doing magic, I thought, ‘It’s a big deal! It was a magic that made me regret it.
But how can you solve it so easily?
A nobleman sitting nearby asked anxiously.
“Sir Doin. No matter how much Einrogard’s wizard is, he’s still a first-year student, so it’s too difficult…” “
Nothing to worry about! Aren’t you solving it so well!”
“Next magic! Show me the next magic!”
Either that or not, the people gathered were in a state of excitement when Lee Han and his friends solved it so well.
The doujin thought to himself.
‘Because you’re so good, there’s this uproar! Be good enough!’
It was to the point where I was at a loss as to how long I would continue to use magic.
I have to stop half way…!
