405 Lee
Han’s protest, Professor Millay pondered for a while, then accepted the protest.
“great. Give it a try.”
“……”
Despite the professor’s permission, Lee Han felt uneasy.
It was because Professor Millay was carefully watching Lee Han’s every move without a change in expression.
As an upright and strict professor, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
‘Haven’t other students ever put so much pressure on them during practice?’
Complaining about the unfair treatment, Lee Han opened the piece of paper engraved with magic.
Archmages who reached the highest level would easily create summons on the spot without these auxiliary tools, but for most wizards, preparation in advance was a more important process than they thought.
Reagent scroll artifacts and so on.
< Paper Bird Summon > was also a type of magic that required preparation in advance.
If there was no scroll engraved with the magic circle, since the wizard would have to fill in the structure of the summoned creature one by one, in a way, it could be said that the most important process in magic was to engrave this magic circle.
Swish-shugg-
the quill fluttered gracefully across the paper. < Paper Bird Summon > was a very famous magic in the empire, and the magic circle was quite well known, but it was the magician’s ability to reproduce it.
If it was possible to use magic just by drawing along the magic circle, why would so many aspiring wizards run into the wall with tears in their eyes?
The magic circle of < Paper Bird Summon > was never simple. It was common for the students of Einrogard to make several mistakes.
‘…Is suffering from Professor Verdus helpful in this way?’
And Lee Han was surprised.
Even from his own perspective, the magic circle was so neat and well done.
I drew it in the first semester and didn’t notice it because I didn’t draw it during the vacation…
When did my skills get so good?
Professor Millay, who saw that, spoke slowly as if he knew that.
“Let’s add voice.”
Lee Han began weaving the letters with more care than before.
Transforming the already completed magic circle did not end with simply adding lines and letters.
It was necessary to understand the principle of the magic circle and to be able to anticipate the changes accordingly.
If it was forced to change, the paper bird could have stabbed the wizard himself instead of spitting out his voice.
‘I’m going to carve this side… I’m going to have to add some more ink. Is the circuit running properly? A short circuit will happen here, so I’ll leave this off…’
As he concentrated so hard, Lee Han didn’t even notice that he had completed it. Professor Millay spoke first.
“You’re done.”
“ah. yes. But I’ll have to check to see if it’s working properly…”
“Got it. You might want to increase the difficulty level.”
Professor Millay turned away as if there was no need to say anything more.
Simultaneously with that motion, a simple scroll made by Lee Han rose into a new piece of paper.
The blooming paper bird rushed to the White Tiger Tower students and shouted.
-Focus on the lecture!!!
“Aww!”
“I was concentrating on the house!! What! What!”
The students of the White Tiger Tower, who were suddenly attacked, looked around in amazement.
It was a perfect improvement.
The friends of the Blue Dragon Tower next to him looked at Lee Han and said.
“It would be nice to increase the difficulty level.”
“It seems right to increase the difficulty. Wodanaz.”
“…You guys don’t have dinner.”
“!??!”

Professor Mortum blushed as if he was a bit embarrassed when Lee Han came to him.
“Coke. Did you control the golem well?”
“yes. professor. Is Ogoldos-senpai okay?”
“It’s fine… Normally, Ogoldos should be worried about you, not you.”
After becoming a senior, he was worried about his juniors, but Professor Mortum did not blame Ogoldos.
It wasn’t because the number of disciples who were already small could become even smaller.
It was because he understood the circumstances of Ogoldos.
Honestly, even if there were other students, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference!
“Today’s lecture is the dark element, right? What should I prepare?”
Professor Mortum was not surprised despite the strange situation in which the student who arrived two weeks late was trying to understand the lecture better than the other students and even prepare in advance.
Why would you be surprised by something like this now? Professor Mortum replied with a calm mind.
“The other students are going to continue with the dark elements… Kolok. You will do bone elemental magic.”
“??”
Lee Han was taken aback.
“uh. Is it because I missed something?”
“no. You already know how to use the dark element, don’t you?”
“But there are still a lot of things that are lacking…”
Professor Mortum ignored Lee Han’s answer.
It was too much nonsense to answer.
“Coke. Rather, I heard it from Ogoldos… It was so unbelievable that I waited to check it myself.”
“ah. You mean the king of ghouls?”
Lee Han replied as if he had been waiting.
“Surprisingly, the owner of the palace was right. Contrary to what you’re doing, it’s really…”
“…Kuluk cool! Who ever wondered that?”
Professor Mortum replied as if it were absurd.
Of course he knew that the ghoul king was the owner of the undead palace.
If not, who is the owner?
“Then what is so hard to believe?”
“You summoned more than 10 undead and complained about how difficult it was to control them, but when you left one undead, you said you were surprised that you could control it…” “
……”
Lee Han felt ashamed for the first time in a while.
“It is habitual when practicing…”
“Collock. Could that be a habit?”
No matter how much it was for practice purposes, from the moment he summoned more than 10, the wizard had to feel a sense of crisis right before his magic power was depleted.
I would be struggling with wanting to reduce the undead even if I could just breathe, but how comfortable was it that I forgot the simple truth that ‘reducing it makes it easier’?
“Anyway, I’ve learned that cutting it down to one animal makes it a little easier.”
“That… it’s not something you learn… it’s a human bastard, of course… Coke. done. Anyway, let’s get back to the point.”
Professor Mortum kindly embraced the disciple who had missed the truth that even the most stupid in the empire knew.
“As the principal agreed, I gave you the < Ancient Basic Necromancer > book because I thought you had the ability to continue the progress of the ancient necromantic.”
“Is it…? okay.”
Lee Han was about to say, ‘Wasn’t it to annoy me?’
When the other friends summoned the undead that had been contracted in the undead realm, Lee Han was being forced to summon the undead the old-fashioned way by the skeleton headmaster and professor Mortum.
The ancient method of necromancy is to raise the undead with the magician’s own ability.
Of course, it was several times more difficult. There was a reason why the old way was the old way.
“Coke. You’ve gotten used to controlling it to some extent and don’t know how to try to strengthen it…” “There are
still a lot of things lacking…”
Smooth control is possible only when combined as one, and the strengthening of the summon is simple enough to amplify it by combining other bones. only way was possible.
He was still far from being an excellent black magician.
Of course, Professor Mortum ignored it again like before.
“…now it’s time to go a little further. Coke.”
Originally, this school year’s goal was to control at least one undead summoned beast, but since he had already succeeded, there was no reason to remain silent.
Instead of explaining how far the original goal was to Lee Han, Professor Mortum brought the next goal.
The reason why other enemies were afraid of the Warlock, who was good at Bone Elemental Magic, was because of the unique tenacity of Bone Elemental Magic.
Unlike other summoning magic, it is possible to recover quickly after destruction, and even if it is broken, the broken wreckage itself becomes the magician’s means again. Infinite power.
If you were mistakenly caught by a wizard skilled in this skill, you would be dragged into it as if you had fallen into a swamp.
“Conversely, it would mean that bone elemental wizards should continue to cast magic without standing still even after being summoned.”
“understand.”
“Coke. What are the bone elemental magics that can be used now?”
The bone elemental magic that Lee Han could use was only about summoning piece-launching armor, shields, or restraints.
It was good enough for a 1-2 circle bone elemental magic that a first-year student who listens to all other schools of magic could use, but it was a bit lacking in splendor for a wizard who could summon a skeleton warrior with ancient necromancy.
“I guess I’ll have to learn Bone Explosion magic.”
Bone explosion magic, which explodes by igniting the gas inside the bone with magic power, was an essential process for black magicians who wanted to handle it professionally as it could meet the firepower in the easiest way.
“uh? Doesn’t that start with at least 3 circles?”
“yes? Is there any problem?”
“…it’s nothing!”
Lee Han gave up on the question when Professor Mortum asked back as if it was natural.
Even if you ask such a crazy face, you won’t get a useful answer.
“Coke. Of course it won’t be easy. Do you know what I have to pay most attention to when learning the Bone Blast spell?”
“hmm. Isn’t it a magical connection?”
The farther away the magician and the object were, the more difficult it became to apply magic directly to the object.
The magician who summoned and handled the bone element had to send the bone away while controlling it so that he could cast magic on the bone at the same time.
To do that, you need to pay more attention to the connection of magic…
“Wrong.”
“Is that so?”
“What you need to pay attention to is controlling the power of the explosion. Coke. Don’t let the explosion hurt you either.”
“……”
Lee Han was speechless at the advice that was so realistic.
No…
“I’ve set up a defense magic circle here, so practice inside it. If you think the magic circle is going to break, call right away. Coke. It’s annoying, so please don’t destroy the workshop.”
“Yes…”

Guinando and Rapadel Ymirg wondered what the hell they were doing inside that made a roaring noise.
“Isn’t Lee Han being tortured…?”
“hey. you stupid prince Why are you torturing Wardanaz?”
“You are stupid, you son of a bitch. Then why is the headmaster attacking us?”
“……”
“Collock. Concentrate, everyone.”
Everyone was startled by the professor’s words and looked away.
But the roar from inside continued to bother them.
“really. professor.”
Raphael carefully raised his hand. Professor Mortum averted his gaze as if to ask him to speak.
“I heard that summoning mages are visiting this time. Is there anything we need to do?”
You might wonder why the black magicians care about the festival of the summoning mages, but the areas of the two overlap more than you think.
Isn’t one of the realms of black magic summoning the undead?
Of course, there were also black magicians among those who participated in the festival.
If you’re Professor Mortum’s personality, you probably don’t want to show the warlocks being pushed back in front of other summoning wizards.
“Coke. Okay. Nothing to worry about.”
“ah. Is that so?”
“okay. Just relax and enjoy yourself.”
Raphael was slightly surprised.
I thought the professor would give me detailed instructions about the festival.
Gainando scolded him from the side.
“What do you think of the professor and say that? There are so many magics to go through right now, do you even mind the festivities?”
Ymirg nodded as if agreeing.
No matter how strong the professor’s ego is, he won’t bother to prove it by sending his students to the Summoning Magic Festival…
“Collock. From there, Wodanaz will take care of the proof. You guys can play.”
“……”
“……”
For some reason, it felt like the roar from inside had stopped.
