Chapter 048
“The priests who entered the Tower of the Phoenix are all sincere and good people, but…”
“How can that be possible in a place where people live?”
“I am praying, so please be quiet. After all, there are still some of them who have not yet abandoned their worldly feelings. Emotions such as rivalry and jealousy do nothing for faith.”
Last week, a freshman priest who joined the Phoenix Tower once made a blood recovery potion for the other priests.
He intended to use the knowledge he had learned while living in the temple for others.
It was truly priestly.
‘If it were me, I would have sold it for money.’
– Drinking this potion will relieve your fatigue. thank you!
– Priest Siana of the Flemain Church will also be impressed. You did a really good job. Isn’t it better than Priest Shiana’s?
While we were laughing and chatting happily, someone joked.
Rather than a serious comparison, it was more of a compliment that it was really well made.
Priest Shiana also smiled and nodded, and no one felt uncomfortable.
…But the next day, Priestess Cyana brought a blood recovery potion.
-??
– I’ve made it too. Everyone, try it.
-oh. thank you
– That’s great. Did you do well?
The next day, Priestess Cyana brought a blood recovery potion.
-thank you…?
– Really great?
Again, the next day, Priestess Cyana brought a blood recovery potion.
By that time, the priests also realized.
-I think the potion made by Priest Siana is the best…!
– Who can compare!
Then, Priestess Cyana didn’t come with a blood recovery potion.
“…you must be a bit competitive.”
After hearing the anecdote, Lee Han said in a tired voice.
To hear a joke and keep making potions until he is acknowledged as the best.
“It wasn’t just that.”
“……”
‘Wasn’t that the end?’
A priest who made a recovery potion before Syana did.
The priest later approached Priest Shiana and praised her.
-It is also Priestess Siana. I don’t think anyone could make a potion like that.
Tijeeling, who was seated, watched closely.
Priest Shiana pretending not to hear and ignoring her and leaving.
-…?!
In the end, it took several days for Priest Siana to accept the priest’s greeting.
‘How narrow are you?’
Lee Han, who was listening, was shocked.
No, if you say you heard a little compliment about a potion…
‘What compliment did I get in the classroom?’
I think I’ve heard all kinds of embarrassing compliments, starting with the genius of alchemy
.
Lee Han, still not convinced, asked again.
“Couldn’t Priestess Siana poison other people’s food?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Tigilling shut her mouth as if she would not speak any more.
Lee Han made up his mind.
‘If I move with Siana the priest, I must never eat the food they recommend.’
* * *
Even though pain, despair, and challenges came like a mountain, the sun set and rose.
‘It’s an assignment, but I’m worried about other things.’
There were two things Lee Han was most worried about right now.
How to break into the White Tiger Tower?
And I have to go to the mountain range behind the school to get alchemy ingredients, but what crazy traps are there in the mountain range?
‘I don’t know which of the two is more difficult.’
However, the magic school did not have time to worry for a long time.
Right away, he sent students to the next lecture and squeezed it.
Standing in the < Repetitive Learning of Basic Magical Combat > class, Professor Voladi opened his mouth as Lee Han entered.
“You’re 11 seconds late.”
“sorry. I was late because I went to the stable early in the morning to take care of the horses.”
“Nothing to be sorry about. You are the one who suffers the loss by being late.”
‘Where do professors learn how to speak?’
Lee Han sat down with such thoughts in mind.
It’s just the two of them in the quiet classroom.
Professor Voladi snapped his fingers. Lee Han took out his staff and rotated the iron ball.
The struggle with the anti-magicists gave Lee Han a clear realization.
The level of control of the lesser manipulation spells was incomparable to before.
The iron ball rotated in a near-perfect circle at a constant speed.
‘It’s about two years earlier than I expected.’
Professor Voladi thought with an expressionless face.
I’m glad Lee Han didn’t hear. If I had heard of it, I would have been serious.
– No, did you choose the training that you have to learn for more than 2 years to take the first step of the class???
“It’s okay.”
“thank you.”
Lee Han was well aware that when someone like Professor Voladi said ‘It’s okay’, he meant ‘Very good!’
Praise was not expected in the first place.
“I heard you learned water creation magic.”
“yes.”
“Try it.”
“Spring up!”
Along with the spell, a lump of water appeared in front of Lee Han.
Thanks to Professor Garcia’s corporal punishment or education, he was able to maintain his shape even now.
“Reduce it to the size of a marble.”
“I will try.”
Lee Han grabbed his cane and focused.
The shape of the mass of water that formed in the air was distorted, and then it sprang up jagged here and there and was distorted.
It was not an ordinary task for Lee Han, who already had a huge amount of magical power, to reduce the amount of water and prepare it in the form of beads.
Professor Voladi held up the iron ball placed in front of Lee Han.
Seeing this, Lee Han somehow felt ominous.
Hiss!
With a sharp sound, the iron ball flew into Lee Han’s face.
‘Ah, you crazy professor…!’
Lee Han instinctively compressed the mass of water into a ball shape. The huge mass of water was compressed to the size of a fist, and its strength and hardness increased rapidly.
kang!
The flying iron ball collided with the water ball, and it lost its power and fell.
“…professor. Are you going to continue doing this?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You just threw a ball at me.”
“ah. did you mean that Yes.”
“…Wouldn’t that be a bit dangerous?”
Han Lee tried to convince Professor Boladi just like he had persuaded other students.
But Professor Boladi, like the students, was not persuaded.
“But wasn’t it efficient?”
“yes?”
“As in the battle of the imperial anti-magicists, the sudden crisis sharpened your concentration and instincts, increasing your control over magic. Why do you want to go back when there is a way like this?”
“……”
Lee Han was speechless.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t argue, it was just that I was dumbfounded.
People are at a loss for words when they hear such nonsense!
“Looks like you got it. Now rotate.”
From spirit stone beads to iron beads, from metal beads to beads made of water.
Spinning the water orb was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
The created water must be rotated at a constant speed while maintaining the shape of a bead.
I felt my nerves strained, just like I felt when fighting the Imperial anti-magicists.
A subtle shape that cannot be called a circle was drawn and drawn again and again in the air.
And Professor Voladi fired iron balls.
kang!
Lee Han immediately blocked it.
Even if he didn’t have enough control to draw a perfect circle, he was able to block one attack as long as he was vigilant.
‘I knew this would happen!’
However, Professor Voladi also expected Lee Han to stop it. At the same time, another iron orb flew in the opposite direction.
puck!
“…!”
I hurriedly turned the water ball, but it was too late. The iron ball was stuck right into the back plate. Lee Han gritted it.
‘shit!’
Even though I strained my muscles and held on, I still felt the shock. It reminded me of the time when I was learning swordsmanship from Allarron.
“Concentration.”
“……”
Lee Han didn’t even have time to answer.
He avoids the flying iron marbles and moves the water marbles like crazy.
One thing was certain.
‘I’d rather take a lecture with a lot of assignments.’
* * *
“Wodhanaz looks very tired.”
“It must be because of the assignment. I also couldn’t sleep well because of the assignment. Besides, Wodanaz is not the kind of person who just listens to ordinary lectures.”
“Well, the lectures that Wardanaz will take are usually not difficult. It’s wordanaz.”
“By the way, when will we enter the White Tiger Tower?”
“Well…”
The Blue Dragon Tower students gathered in the < Understanding Basic Magic > lecture room whispered.
Lee Han’s face, which was leaning back with his eyes closed, looked quite tired.
It was the aftermath of having a life-threatening bead fight with Professor Voladi.
It wasn’t just the Blue Dragon Tower students who were talking. The students of the Black Turtle Tower also made a noise.
“Anyone taking an alchemy class? You say you’re going up the mountain tomorrow, is that true?”
“Did rumors spread already? okay. The other top students also decided to go up together.”
“Isn’t there a way out of the mountain?”
‘You’re dreaming in vain.’
Lee Han was saddened by the words of the Black Turtle Tower students.
Do you think there is a way out?
You will be very disappointed when you find out the truth.
“Wait then, are you going with Wardanaj? If I made a mistake, I would be punished…”
“I don’t think that would happen. We are different towers.”
“……”
Lee Han let out a deep sigh.
“Nice to meet you all.”
“Hello, Professor!”
When Professor Garcia entered, all the students greeted him politely.
This is what the students were feeling.
If it’s Professor Garcia, it’s almost the best conscience in this school.
Scarier than trolls were professors who did not know the human mind.
“Until last time, we have been practicing various things to become familiar with elemental magic. However, in this basic magic understanding class, you will learn not only elemental magic, but also various magic… illusion, foresight, summoning, transformation magic, and so on. You will learn these magics professionally when you get older.”
The world of magic was infinitely wide and bottomless.
It is impossible to learn everything in that world with human ability.
Of course, wizards decided to specialize in research.
As Lee Han knew, he wasn’t too surprised.
“Today we will have time to learn what different fields of magic are like. Instead of me teaching myself, the professor who is an expert in magic in this field directly.”
At Professor Garcia’s words, the eyes of the students sparkled with anticipation and curiosity.
There was a field of magic that everyone was interested in.
Some do elemental magic, some do elemental magic, some endow magic…
‘I hope you’re an excellent elemental! I want to learn spirit magic…’
‘I came in to learn body strengthening and healing. Teach me reinforcement magic.’
“ruler! Come on in.”
When the door opened, the temperature in the classroom suddenly dropped. The students shuddered from the sudden chill.
“Nice to meet you all… Cough Cough. I am Professor Mortum.”
For a moment, Lee Han thought the professor was a dwarf. However, the professor was only short and of the human race.
Professor Mortum coughed so much as he spoke that even a gust of wind seemed to knock him over.
“Are you okay?”
“I think you should go to the hospital room rather than lecture…”
“It’s okay. It’s okay…”
Professor Mortum said thinly, coughing. One of the students raised his hand and asked.
“What kind of magic do you teach, Professor?”
“I teach black magic.”
“……”
“……”
The atmosphere froze coldly.
Black magic was one of the worst types of magic.
