Chapter 402
“It will take a while.”
When the alchemists of the Paragranum Guild returned to say so, Professor Thunderwalker asked what he was talking about.
“What… are you trying to summon, so it’s taking so long?”
“According to Joanen Meikin’s words and calculations, I thought that the lower spirits might just be crushed no matter how much the pressure is reduced.”
“Not quite like that. … maybe.”
Lee Han replied timidly.
He had never seen a spirit crushed in front of Lee Han.
“It will take time, so we’d better check the other things first.”
“What if something else?”
“Please wait a moment.”
One of the alchemists got up and went outside.
Lee Han and Professor Woorestep looked at each other.
What are you doing?
“What is it?”
“well…? I don’t know…”
After a few minutes, the alchemist returned with Professor Voladi.
“This person says he will help you check. Thank you again.”
“It’s your job as a professor.”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Professor Woorestep lamented at the same time.
Among the many, many professors in the school, why the hell!
* * *
A mage’s casting of magic always leaves a mark.
The moment he weaved mana with his own will and changed reality, mana radiated around the magician.
Some of the magical energy emitted in this way remained even after the magic ended, and sharp wizards were able to catch these traces.
And one of the goals that the alchemists of Paragranum wanted with this potion was to hide the release of this magical power.
“It will be useful in battle.”
Professor Voladi’s voice revealed an unusually faint sense of satisfaction. Lee Han felt fear.
“Why on earth are you taking this potion?”
“There are rare flora and fauna that are affected by the reverberation of magic. This potion will be of great help when dealing with such animals and plants.”
“Even when training disciples.”
Professor Voladi added, but the alchemists did not understand.
‘I’ll be thrilled.’
Until now, there were roughly three ways for Lee Han to figure out when Professor Voladi launched an attack.
A lifelike action that radiates magical energy.
However, in the case of murder, Professor Voladi not only skillfully controlled it, but also cheated with it, so Lee Han, who lacked experience, was at a disadvantage.
At least, I was able to somehow catch my senses with the release of magical energy and the visible movements, but one of them disappeared.
puck!
After drinking a sip of the potion, Professor Boladi swung his staff, and Lee Han barely blocked it. It was fortunate that I was paying attention, but it was several times more demanding than usual.
Professor Voladi felt that too, nodding his head and asking.
“I’d like to get some bottles of this potion.”
“I will send it to you when it is finished.”
“……”
Lee Han thought he should take care of himself.
Because I didn’t know when I would have to fight… no, other people.
What I felt while fighting Professor Voladi was that it was quite tricky to take advantage of skilled battle mages.
‘A normal surprise attack doesn’t work.’
In general, there was no way that invisible magic and a surprise attack would not work.
However, the battle mage was a different story.
As the method of ambush with invisibility magic is so well known, everyone has one or two countermeasures.
In order to pierce the battle magician’s loophole, he needed a creative way to surpass the opponent’s ideas.
< The Veil of Paragranum > could be one of those methods.
Even a seasoned battle mage would be taken aback if an opponent appearing right in front of them suddenly surprises them without any warning.
“The spirit is ready!”
“Now?”
Lee Han grumbled as he kneaded his tingling arm.
If it had been summoned a little sooner, there would have been no need to bring Professor Voladi.
“ruler. This way…” As
he opened the door and went out, a cool breeze swept through Lee Han’s face.
Looking into the air, the form of a bird-shaped spirit swayed. Anyone could see that it was a wind spirit.
“oh. Can we make a contract if we get to know each other?”
Lee Han asked with a smile.
The spirit that Lee Han could call now was Ferkuntra, one of the best in Ein Lorgard.
Once called, it was like a special move that couldn’t be called for a while, so there were many cases where I couldn’t call it when I really needed it.
And even if I called, I doubted whether I would be able to really play an active role.
But that wind spirit looked really useful.
If there was a spirit like that right now, I could have asked for it and found it when the White Tiger Tower disappeared last time…
Food Duck!
When Lee Han came out, the wind spirit suddenly flapped its wings like crazy and returned to the spirit realm.
“……”
“……”
An awkward silence circulated.
It was Professor Voladi who ended the silence.
“I couldn’t even fool the eyes of the spirits.”
“Let’s make it a little better!”
The alchemists said eagerly.
This failure did not hurt the alchemists.
A new discovery is only possible after hundreds of failures.
Rather, like now, the trivial ordeal right before completion was only appreciated. Because I could have improved the quality even more.
“……”
Of course, hurting a student could not be helped.
* * *
It was a weekend, but Lee Han studied outside instead of going back to the tower.
In the garden in front of the main building, I saw many first-year students hanging out in groups of two or three.
“Wardanaz. Can I stop by the Phoenix Tower?”
“Don’t ask stupid questions. It’s obvious who Lee Han considers to be his true friend. yes?”
Kainando was elated and answered instead.
‘It’s because I’m sorry to see priests fighting.’
Right now, the Priests of the Phoenix Tower were sitting in the break room like some kind of conclave and talking with the determination to see the end.
-The next sacred magic is from our church…
-No! We must respect the wishes of the parties the most! As much as you are listening to the enchantment magic, to our church!
-Since you are listening to Wisdom Magic, isn’t it our church?
-I heard that they are trying to raise a basilisk, but in our church…
Seeing that, even Lee Han couldn’t help but feel the burden.
If the two denominations got lucky by chance and they don’t awaken to divine magic from then on…
the priests wouldn’t show it, but they would be very sad inside.
“I don’t want to go back to the tower right now.”
“yes?! look!”
“By the way, Cainan too. Are you doing your homework right? Open the book < Advanced Geometry and Arithmetic >.”
“I didn’t… I didn’t bring it.”
“Go and get it.”
Kainando hung his head and muttered as he walked towards the tower. The friends of the Blue Dragon’s Tower hurriedly opened their books and laid their eyes on them.
Of course, some people didn’t.
In the case of the princess, regardless of whether or not Kainando was walking, she was only staring at the open book.
“Why are you here? Are there any overdue assignments?”
“ah. Because of the alchemists of Paragranum.”
“We just cut it, but the princess must have pointed out a few parts and returned it.”
Lee Han already passed, but the other students did not.
Most of the students gave up on the relentless evaluation, but some of them were clinging to specific criticisms.
‘for a moment. Those authors were people like Professor Voladi, did you explain it properly?’
In Lee Han’s eyes, the Paragranum guild’s alchemists were the alchemist’s version of Professor Voladi.
Wouldn’t it be Professor Voladi if the people there were a little more aggressive?
…It’s a great idea, but there are still many unresolved details. It would be better to supplement with a way to completely hide the aura. There is no way to conceal the aura in the few ways here. If you come up with a way to conceal the energy…
“……”
Lee Han was shocked when he saw the potion the princess was researching.
Surprisingly, they were researching a potion similar to < Paragranum's Veil >!
Of course, there were a lot of empty parts as there was a difference in skill, but it was great enough that I completed it as much as I did.
Lee Han asked cautiously.
“Did the alchemists say anything?”
“??”
The princess, who was concentrating, did not recognize Lee Han’s call at first, but realized it belatedly and was embarrassed.
“What are you talking about…?”
‘He didn’t say anything.’
There was no way to give advice to the alchemists’ personalities, saying, ‘Actually, we’re completing this right now, so let’s try this and that.’
However, at least you can say, ‘Now this is a part that needs to be filled and the level of difficulty is too high for a first-year student to complete. Why don’t you try another potion?’
Professor Wooreegyeom will give you that much consideration.
But he just said, ‘Oh, let’s do it’ without saying anything.
‘It’s the less ferocious Professor Voladi.’
Lee Han spoke softly, feeling sorry for the princess’ continued suffering.
“Aren’t the alchemists a bit strange?”
“…?”
The princess tilted her head.
To be honest, all wizards were strange. Compared to the professors here, the alchemists weren’t particularly strange.
‘I got the question wrong.’
Lee Han regretted it.
The opponent was also an Einroguard student, so it probably wasn’t particularly strange.
“Alchemists seem to know too much about this potion…”
“Did they answer right away…?”
The princess stared at Lee Han, not knowing what he was trying to say.
It seemed like he was trying to say something, but he couldn’t quite feel it.
“Doesn’t that look remind you of something?”
“…ah. Are the Paragranum Alchemists good? So… the probability of receiving from the capital knights potion delivery business that the alchemy guilds in the capital are trying to receive increases… so the power structure of the capital alchemy guild may be shaken in the future!”
The princess looked at Lee Han with admiration.
Lee Han had a lot to say, but he answered with patience.
“…That’s right, but let’s just put the gold pheasant flower chrysanthemum here.”
Lee Han, who got tired of telling me around, just told me the ingredients he needed right now.
It was part of the recipe for < The Veil of Paragranum >.
“!!!!”
The princess looked at Lee Han in surprise many times more than before.
To think of a recipe just by reading it once.
It was a flash like the alchemists of Paragranum.
A realm of natural talent that one cannot dare to follow with one’s own talent!
“How the hell…”
“Friends! Professor calls people! let’s go!”
When someone suddenly ran and shouted, the friends of the Blue Dragon Tower threw down their books and jumped to their feet.
The other top students next to me hurriedly packed their things and started running.
Lee Han, who had not yet grasped the situation, ran after him and asked.
“what? What is the situation?”
“I want to help the professor prepare for his lecture!”
“…everyone runs for it voluntarily like this?”
“Give me something to eat!”
“Ah…”
Lee Han admired the way all the friends in the Blue Dragon’s Tower ran.
In the first semester, I was proud of people who would have been lying around saying, ‘Well, we have a lot to eat anyway…’.
“Should I just be in another tower in my second year?”
“?!?!?”
The princess, who heard Lee Han’s murmur beside her, waved her hand in contemplation.
* * *
It was Professor Lightning Step who called the students.
“Dug ditches and roads from here to here, dig very deep here. No matter what comes out, don’t let it come out.”
“yes! professor!”
Lee Han was shocked to see his friends smiling brightly.
“What do you guys mean by this preparation… No, it’s done.”
Lee Han decided to find out on his own.
What would you do if you found out that there will be a terrifying guy in next week’s < Intensive Vehicle Training > lecture?
“Professor Millay will also use it, so you have to dig well.”
“……”
Even the summoning magic lecture?
