Chapter 492
“Is that so?”
Professor Voladi didn’t pay much attention to Lee Han’s excuses and took a glass bottle of red potion out of his pocket and took a sip.
At first, I thought it was a magic recovery potion…
‘It’s blood, right?’
Lee Han realized that Professor Voladi had used blood magic to amplify his mana.
Well, considering the power of the blood sword just shown, it would have been difficult even for Professor Voladi to cast it so quickly without any cost.
“Are you okay with magic power?”
Lee Han-eun was worried about the professor and asked.
Occasionally, it was easy to forget when looking at the heavenly appearances of Einrogard’s professors, but the professors were also people made of flesh and blood.
…Of course, there was a lich, but…
Magic wasn’t a convenient study where you could only get rewards without a price, and of course, after such intense battles, the wizards were also burdened.
“Okay. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.”
There was no need for a disciple to worry about a master, as if the master were worried about the disciple.
Professor Voladi took one look at Lee Han.
Despite the fierce battle, there seemed to be no abnormality in magic power.
It was new, but it was a truly overwhelming amount of horsepower.
“Do you remember the magic you just used?”
“yes? You mean < Pengerin's elemental cold alter ego >?”
Professor Voladi shook his head slowly.
Of course, making < Pengerin's alter ego of the cold element > a success was great, but that wasn’t what the professor was trying to say.
“The magic I used after that.”
“Ah, I put rotation properties on the water beads…”
“Yes. I think you can give it a name.”
“…!”
Lee Han was surprised.
Giving a name to magic was by no means light.
This was possible when the magic had a value that was clearly distinct from other magic.
After Guinando saw the magic missile magic written in the book and cast it, he said, ‘Since my magic is much slower and weaker than the magic written in the book, I’ll name it ‘Guinando’s Magic Missile’! It’s like magic that anyone can use easily!’
It was quite surprising that Professor Voladi said such a thing, as it was not forced by a single wizard.
“You mean your name? It doesn’t seem like that much magic.”
It wasn’t that I wasn’t happy.
The joy of succeeding in casting magic with a single knife, which had been forcibly cast by dividing the casting process, was a sense of accomplishment that only a wizard could feel.
It was similar to the feeling of putting dozens of scattered puzzles together into one.
However, not everyone who succeeds in difficult magic can be named…
“You don’t have to create something out of nothing to be able to name it. Improvements can also be named.”
“That’s true…”
Lee Han hesitated, but Professor Voladi explained a bit more.
“The magic I just used looks similar to Yumidhus-sama’s Suoctan, but it’s definitely different.”
It was a water elemental magic that was evaluated as lacking in destructive power, but it was Eumidhus who reversed that evaluation.
A wizard who maximized destructive power by combining various deepening properties with the water element!
One of them, < Eumidihus' Water Octane >, was a magic that fused the element of water with rotational properties to the extreme.
The penetrating power and destructive power concentrated at this one point was famous for the anecdote that Eumidius, the founder of magic, used it himself to instantly kill a demon duke.
As Professor Voladi, who studied under Eumidhus, it was natural for him to teach this magic to a brilliant disciple who longed for in-depth wisdom of elemental magic.
And as much as this disciple greedily requested, he eventually reinterpreted and improved Suoctan in his own way and completed it.
Unnecessary processes are cut out from the original magic, and the missing parts are sensibly supplemented using magic.
It was less powerful than Eumidhus’ direct casting, but it was enough. As long as it hits the sea serpent and ties it up, it’s great in terms of power.
Most of all, it was impressive that the casting speed was drastically reduced.
What was needed in a magic battle was the minimum amount of accurate power to defeat the enemy, not a show of strength.
“It would be much more suitable for a person-to-person battle.”
“Isn’t it a bit of a waste of mana?”
Although the compliment was bigger than expected, Lee Han took a realistic approach.
The parts cut off while hastily omitting unnecessary processes were a wasteful use of mana.
“Because all magic has its pros and cons.”
“…thank you. I will consider it an honor.”
Lee Han honestly expressed his gratitude and decided to enjoy it.
‘It’s not bad.’
Of course, this < Wodanaz's Suoctan > magic did not seem to be a widespread magic throughout the empire.
It would be nice to be able to play and eat for the rest of my life with just one magic, but Lee Han doesn’t have such vain expectations.
‘Objectively, the flaws are a bit big, but…’
First of all, the water element type combat magic itself is a bit minor, and if you add the rotation attribute from there, it’s even more minor, but if you add the disadvantage of over-
consuming magic … It was too limited.
But even taking that into consideration, it was true that he was happy to have his magic named after him.
Wouldn’t it look much more plausible if you add a line saying, ‘I have completed the 4th circle magic < Wodanaz's Water Octane >‘ when submitting a proposal or receiving investment later?
Professor Voladi nodded as if he was satisfied with his student’s delight.
Then he opened his mouth again.
“When you return to Einrogard, write a book about the water elemental magic you realized this time.”
“…yes?”
Lee Han, whom he liked, hesitated.
‘What did you just say?’
It was not uncommon for wizards to organize their understanding of magic into books, such as < Basic Lightning Elemental Magic and Its Applications > or < Basic Blood Magic and Its Applications >.
Einrogard students also used to make books by organizing their realizations for training and learning.
…usually seniors!
While Lee Han was stunned, saying, ‘Isn’t this person crazy?’, the professor continued.
“ah. for a moment. I was mistaken.”
“I knew you would too.”
Lee Han secretly hoped that Professor Voladi would ask him to try again around the 4th grade.
‘is not it? Since he is a person with no conscience, he might have made it in 3rd grade. Then by avoiding classes in the third year…’
“Write two books. One about enlightened magic, the other about the direction of magic improvement.”
One was to organize magic, and the other was to think about how to further develop that magic.
Professor Voladi added one more to satisfy the student’s endless intellectual quest like magic.
I didn’t know what crazy things I would do otherwise, like running into the Sea Serpent today.
“……”
While Lee Han was so absurd that he couldn’t say anything, Professor Thunderwalker came running.
His face was full of fatigue because he had managed to calm down the people of the Meikin family and the city, who were about to have a heart attack because of the student jumping into the battlefield.
“Hey you crazy bastard! Why the hell did you rush in front of Mr. Serpent!”
Prof. Lee Han, who exclaimed with an exasperation, flinched when he saw Lee Han’s granite-like expression filled with anger.
“…Did I talk too much?”
* * *
After preparing the magic to show to Einrogard’s students, Ianop headed to the port with the mercenaries.
The mercenaries asked cautiously.
“Wizard. Shouldn’t we hurry?”
“The hunt for the Sea Serpent doesn’t end so soon.”
The battle against a large monster with tenacious vitality was usually an endurance fight.
Even if you go later than now, it will be enough.
‘If only I could show you this magic…’
What Ianop had prepared was a terribly beautiful weakening magic.
It was easy to be misunderstood as black magic, but it was absolutely not, and once cast, it was an endowment magic that nestled in the opponent’s body and reversed the regenerative power.
It would be even more effective against opponents like the Sea Serpent.
“Mister Magician. The port is on fire…”
“?”
“The harbor is bright!”
“!”
Ianob was surprised to see the splendid appearance of the harbor.
Like in broad daylight, spheres of light were densely embedded and driving out the darkness.
‘No matter how much Einrogard’s wizard is, is it so wasteful? Nonsense!’
Ianob wondered if he had created a new magic in Einrogard.
No matter how little light there is, there is no need to waste mana by summoning spheres of light one by one before the serpent hunt.
“Yeah. great.”
“As expected of the wizards…”
the mercenaries said flatteringly, but Ianob’s head was so complicated that he couldn’t even hear it.
No matter how much I looked at it, I couldn’t even guess what the structure of that magic was.
Ianob felt a deep sense of humiliation, as he had felt in the distant past.
Even a simple magic like that couldn’t read the structure.
‘I don’t know…! How can you do that all at once…’
“…Mage. Wizard!”
When Ianop was distracted, the mercenaries urgently called the wizard.
“Why?”
“The hunt…”
“It starts soon?”
“Is it over?”
“…what?”
Ianob looked away from the sphere of light and turned his head.
Surprisingly, the body of the Sea Serpent was lying on the docks of the harbor below.
Even at a glance, I could tell that intense magic had come and gone.
Remains of ice and the uniquely dismembered corpse of the Sea Serpent.
By what kind of magic…
“It’s over!?”
“Yes yes…”
The mercenaries, frightened by the wizard’s unusual appearance, hurriedly brought one of the sailors around them.
“Did you say you saw it?”
“How many times do you say? I saw it from the bottom!”
“i get it. I understand, so speak well. Because he is such a great person.”
“What… A wizard from Einrogard?”
The sailor who was called by the mercenaries looked at Ianob in the carriage and asked curiously.
The only great person in this city dressed like that was the wizard of Einrogard.
“Your identity is not something you ask. Do you want to give the silver coin back?”
The mercenary said with a mixture of irritation, but the sailor who rolled as he rolled on the rough sea was not easy. He retorted and said.
“That damn thing… I called someone in a hurry, so what…”
Ianob bounced another silver coin instead of answering.
Then, the irritable sailor’s attitude suddenly changed to a friendly one.
“What are you so curious about?”
“Who cast that light magic? Do you remember which professor it was? Did you use special reagents or scrolls when casting?”
“Students did it. And uh… reagents or scrolls? If it was something like that scroll, you didn’t use it.”
“…!!!!!”
Ianob was so shocked that he involuntarily moaned.
There was only one student.
“Are you a student of the Wardanaz family?”
“Oh right! That was the name.”
“Do not lie!”
“I’m not lying! Call anyone else and you will know.”
The sailor’s demeanor was so imposing that Ianob instinctively sensed that there was no lie in that statement.
‘That all at once? How at once?’
In fact, it wasn’t cast at once, but Ianob inadvertently thought so.
“What did you catch? How did you catch it?”
Ianob, in shock, asked the mercenaries if they were curious.
“One shot and caught enchanted arrows.”
“Did the magicians of Einrogard give it to you?”
“no. That, too, was done by a student wizard from the Wardanaz family.”
“……”
Even the mercenaries, unfamiliar with magic, seemed to be surprised, and their words became less.
Roughly, I got a feeling why Ianop was shocked.
“The other one?”
“Einrogard mages caught it themselves.”
“I guess the student I mentioned earlier didn’t wear it this time.”
“no. Did you participate and fight together?”
“……”
“…Aren’t they twins?”
“Triplets… No, maybe quintuplets…”
Only the whispers of the mercenaries quietly spread through the harbor streets in the middle of the night.
