Chapter 404
It seemed like he was angry no matter how he looked at it, but the lightning-walking professor was different from the thunder-walking professor.
The age of an adventurer who has traveled from end to end of the empire and has gone through a series of battles is bound to be on a different level.
If you ask an angry person, ‘Aren’t you really angry?’
The lightning stride professor skillfully changed the topic.
“Maybe he will come.”
“Are they summoning wizards?”
“Wait…”
Professor Lightningstep calculated, folding his fingers.
Lee Han was stunned by the sight.
Counting that means that at least two teams are visiting!
‘Those who look like garbage!’
Unlike the priests who came to do good, the magicians’ visits had very impure intentions.
Wouldn’t he come to check the students’ skills and master magic?
Even the demons of hell would not be so heartless.
“Are you visiting to see the magic of the students?”
“Is that right?”
“How can people do that?”
“…Yes?”
Professor Lightning Walk was a little taken aback by Lee Han’s anger.
Why are you angry about this?
“Anyway, next week will be the summoning mages. And don’t worry too much. They’re not crazy like the Paragranum Guild… no, they’re not very skilled. Will there be quite a few wizards who are less skilled than you?”
Next week’s summoning wizard’s festival < Boltzman's Call > was a festival and social gathering honoring the ancient great summoning wizard Boltzman.
The festival where only wizards gathered was a little different from the general festivals of the empire.
A place where wizards who don’t normally meet each other show their magic, get evaluated, and work hard.
However, if I wanted to be serious, I could risk my pride, but if I wanted to enjoy it lightly, I could enjoy it lightly.
Thanks to this, more wizards with less skill participated than expected.
A place where first-year students of Einrogard, who are not treated as iron heads in school, gather the best talents of the empire and inherit the magic of the empire’s best lineage.
Among the wizards who were self-taught or abused by the eccentric wizards, many of them were less skilled than the first-year students.
These wizards will also participate in the festival, so there will be no situation like the Paragranum Guild…
“Wouldn’t you come from outside and bring nothing. The priests always brought something to eat.”
“…do your work.”
“yes.”
Lee Han increased the speed while controlling the golem.
Even though he was grumbling, he was becoming more and more skilled at maneuvering, and the lightning-walking professor admired it.
‘But what are you mumbling about?’
As Lee Han murmured on top of the golem, Professor Lightning Walk became curious.
Could it be that the professors are gaining enlightenment from the advice given earlier and memorizing additional spells?
“Summoning wizards. I will not leave you alone.”
“……”
Even if he focused on controlling the golem, Professor Lightning Walk was shocked to see him skillfully maneuvering the golem while saying something else.

Upon returning to the tower after the hard labor, a subtle silence hung over the lounge.
It was different from the tense silence. It was an atmosphere of self-reflection.
Lee Han was puzzled and asked Priest Tigilling.
“What happened?”
“Everyone is reflecting.”
“!”
Priests who fought with each other with shouts that were rare to see.
However, the priests were also different from the other tower students.
After continuing heated discussions, it was decided to understand, consider, and respect each other’s positions.
Hearing this explanation, Lee Han was moved.
‘Priests don’t even work with the headmaster’s poison!’
Actually, the fight between the priests this time had nothing to do with the Headmaster Skeleton, but Lee Han thought so.
“Then, from now on, can I feel free to ask about the church?”
“yes?”
Priest Tizzling stared at Lee Han as if he was saying something.
“…is not it? That… Now that you’ve reflected on it, faith is an individual’s freedom…?”
“no. We all judged that the dissatisfaction this time was because we decided the order in a way that was left to chance. So I changed my ways.”
“…which?”
“The winner has decided to have the right to recommend faith to Lord Wodanaj.”
“……”
Lee Han turned his head and looked at the priests.
Upon closer inspection, the priests who had been thought to be silent were gathering in groups of two and three to strategize.
-I never thought < Geometry and Arithmetic > would be a match event.
-Do not worry. We have a priest from the Sisenza Church, right?
-I have never been interested in other churches, but I was impressed by the ability of the Shisenza Church.
-Haha I’m just shy…
“???”
-I don’t care if there is a Sisenja Church over there.
-you’re right! Let’s share information and talk about how to beat them.
-Our church…
“……”
In a competitive match involving many people, it was unlikely that he would win on his own.
Clever people tend to come together and cooperate, even if the rewards are less.
The priests were actively strategizing by gathering with those who had the same will or the inclination of the church.
It was a sight that no one could see would have liked the Headmaster Skeleton.
“…What have I done?”
“yes?”
At Lee Han’s words, Priest Tigilling tilted his head.
Tigilling Priestess didn’t think her current appearance was bad.
Aren’t the priests, who usually focus only on their own work, discussing faith with other priests?
The priests themselves were also getting to know each other, enjoying the topic of conversation that they would not normally have.
“I should go in and rest… Thank you. Tigiling Priest. See you tomorrow.”
As Lee Han went upstairs with a sullen face, the other priests stopped talking and asked.
“It looks like Mr. Wardanaz’s face was dark, is it because of his mood?”
“I heard from the people of the Blue Dragon Tower earlier that the people of the White Tiger Tower kept bothering me while working…” “
Such a pity. Next time, I will go to the people of the White Tiger Tower and ask for a favor.”
“I will go with you. By the way, who did you hear from?”
“Guinando-nim told me.”
“I must remember.”
The next day, the angry White Tiger Tower students threw a ball made of paper as soon as they found Kainando.

“In summoning magic, as in any magic, sophistication is a special virtue. A good summoning mage must be able to control any situation. The great summoning wizard Boltzmann said: ‘The easiest summoning magic succeeded by calculation is more valuable than the most difficult summoning magic succeeded by chance’. As much as that…”
While discussing how to further develop the < Paper Bird > summoning magic, which was covered in the first semester, Professor Millay raised his eyebrows at the distracted atmosphere.
“Does everyone have something to say? Raphael student. Let me tell you.”
Raphael, a black magic student who hates black magic, was taken aback when he was called the representative.
When Lee Han met Raphael’s eyes, he gave small advice.
– Be honest.
Due to Professor Millay’s personality, if he admits he’s wrong, he’ll go over it neatly without bothering like the skeleton principal.
“I was talking about whether the cow summoning wizards were really coming.”
“……”
Lee Han let out a deep sigh. Seeing that, Raphael was taken aback and asked back.
“Isn’t that what you told me to do?”
“I told you to apologize honestly, you fool…”
“You may sit down. Raphael student. Everyone seems to be nervous about the < Call of Boltzmann > festival. Summoning wizards from outside visit the school, so it’s only natural that everyone is looking forward to it.”
‘Are you excited?’
Lee Han was puzzled.
At least, Lee Han and Lee Han’s friends responded by saying, ‘Ah, some crazy people from outside are trying to harass us again?’… One of the
Black Turtle Tower students raised his hand courageously and asked.
“Are you bringing something to eat?”
“no. It is not such a festival.”
The stern reply stirred the atmosphere.
‘Then why are you coming?’ ‘Is school a joke?’ ‘Aren’t you being rude while visiting the great Einrogard?’ The same gossip was heard everywhere.
Professor Millay interrupted the students’ gossip with light movements and spoke.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t live up to everyone’s expectations, but the < Call of Boltzmann > festival is not a festival to enjoy, eat and drink. A festival in which summoning wizards see each other’s magic and honor Boltzmann. Naturally, I don’t expect much from my students.”
“thank god.”
“yes?”
“……”
Lee Han lamented inwardly as his friends still showed their naivety.
When the professor said ‘I don’t expect’, there was no possibility that he meant it.
No matter how good Professor Garcia is, he has no choice but to regret it if his students do not produce results.
It was an inevitable yoke for a professor.
“However, showing an embarrassing appearance in front of wizards from outside will hurt the students’ own pride.”
“you’re right!”
“I’m glad you know. Let’s focus on summoning magic. < Summon Paper Bird > seems simple at first glance, so many summoning wizards don’t care anymore once they learn it. But the Empire’s finest summoning wizards never underestimate the potential of this magic.”
Professor Millay called a paper bird out of thin air.
I circled around the leaking classroom. Professor Millay said while looking at the students of the White Tiger Tower.
“You should think about repairing the golem after the lecture.”
“…!”
The students of the White Tiger Tower blushed and closed their books.
He was caught thinking about how to make the golem look better.
‘It’s a distant view magic.’
Lee Han realized that Professor Millay looked around the classroom with the eyes of a paper bird.
It looked plain on the outside, but it was a very advanced skill to connect the sight of the summoned person with the sight of oneself and search in that way.
Summoning Sight Link Sending a summoned beast to flight and concentrating consciousness at the same time.
“You don’t have to go this far…”
– Consider the golem’s center of gravity!
The students were surprised when the paper bird opened its mouth and chirped.
It was less difficult than distance magic, but it was a very useful magic to record and deliver voices to paper birds in that way.
‘I want to learn that.’
Lee Han definitely felt the need.
It was necessary to have a way to contact the other top students.
Ask the black market managers in the Black Turtle Tower to check the current prices, or check how many meals your friends in the Blue Dragon Tower have skipped
…
When the professor finished speaking, the paper leaked and crashed into the wall of the classroom.
Then the paper bird disappeared with a flash of light, leaving a magical imprint on the wall.
He used a paper bird as a medium to inscribe magic on the wall.
“Excellent wizards are not obsessed with flashy and difficult magic. Even simple magic has different effects depending on how you use it. Please keep in mind everyone. So… Let’s improve our paper birds individually. Let’s see how you will improve the paper bird during this semester.”
The simpler the magic, the more the personality of the magician who transforms the magic is revealed.
Professor Millay hoped that this semester, students would gain a lot of enlightenment through the experience of improving paper birds.
‘To include the voice…’
Lee Han began to look through the books to capture the sound.
Professor Millay looked at Lee Han and raised his monocle and asked.
“What will student Lee Han do?”
“I’m trying to put my voice in it.”
“Hmm…”
“?”
When Professor Millay looked at Lee Han with a stern expression, Lee Han became puzzled.
Did you make any mistakes?
“It would be better to increase the difficulty level.”
“…Professor, I haven’t tried this yet…”
