Chapter 050
Fortunately, Lee Han did not have to carry the title of ‘professor killer’.
Professor Mortum stood up right away.
“… Coke. Did everyone see it? This is a lower paralysis curse.”
In fact, Professor Mortum was still stiff.
As soon as he collapsed, he hurriedly activated his magic and drove away the curse, but the amount was quite large, so the effect still remained.
If other black magic students studying under Professor Mortum had seen this situation, they might have fainted.
No matter how careless he was, a freshman knocking down Professor Mortum with a lower paralysis curse…
“……”
Professor Garcia knew the truth, so he was staring at Professor Mortum with an absurd look.
Professor Mortum pretended not to see and averted his gaze.
“Fortunately, the. professor.”
Lee Han said in a relieved voice.
At first, I was really surprised, but it turned out that Professor Mortum was deliberately trying to show the effect of the lower paralysis curse properly.
It was kind of strange!
“…You have a talent for curses.”
“Is that so? thank you.”
“…You have a talent for curses.”
“thank you?”
It didn’t bode well for the professor to say it twice.
Lee Han keenly noticed the sign.
‘What are we going to do now?’
Either he’s really talented, or Lee Han did something against the professor.
Considering the twisted mind of a professor, the possibility of the latter was high.
‘Was the curse worse than I thought? Like such a careless professor. If the first curse was perfect, would I be a freshman?’
“As you just saw, curse magic is so general that everyone knows at least one or two even if they don’t learn black magic professionally.”
Professor Garcia intervened to lighten the mood.
“Lesser curse magic is not difficult to learn, and above all, learning it makes it easier to deal with other curse magic. Just because you don’t learn curse magic doesn’t mean others won’t use curse magic.”
Black magic had a lot of offensive magic that could be learned quickly.
It was easy to understand if you compare it with the flame attribute magic right away.
Attacking someone with fire magic required the ability to start with sparks and send them out in a controlled state to the other side.
On the other hand, the curse of black magic was finished by concentrating on the curse. Everyone has experienced leg numbness or body pain.
As such, mercenary wizards in the lower circles who had not formally learned magic often learned one or two curses of black magic.
The best way to deal with any magic is to learn that magic.
It was good to have some understanding of black magic as you don’t know what will happen later.
That’s why Professor Garcia called Professor Mortum.
It’s not like you have to learn black magic…!
“ruler. Enough of the explanation… Shall we pair each other up?”
* * *
Contrary to the sullen atmosphere at the beginning, the students showed more interest in the curse than they thought.
Everyone was still young.
Even though he had heard many bad things about black magic, he had no choice but to be tempted by the fact that it was an attack magic that was easy to learn.
In addition, the logic of ‘you must learn a few curses to protect yourself’ that Professor Garcia said was quite plausible.
“Are you wielding it like this?”
“Does it seem right?”
“I heard that curses aren’t just like this paralyzing curse. I heard that there are curses that darken your vision, curses that hinder your breathing, and curses that break your sense of balance.”
“Yeah… Ah. Are you going to learn black magic?”
“no.”
Of course, everyone was interested in curses, so I wasn’t young enough to want to specialize in black magic.
That was it and this was this.
“I will leave it up to you.”
“I will leave it up to you.”
Lee Han’s practice partner was Gainando.
The two greeted each other aristocratically and raised their wands.
The rules were simple.
One attack first.
Then the other side attacks.
The purpose was to experience not only writing a curse, but also being hit.
The pioneer of Guinan Island.
“Huh!”
Kainando began to concentrate his mana and transform it into sonic properties.
‘oh.’
Lee Han was surprised.
Kainando was converting magic faster than he thought.
‘Could it be that he has a talent for black magic?’
It could have been a coincidence, but considering the appearance of Gainando shown in other elements, it was right that he had talent.
I have a hard time with light or fire and water, but the sonic property conversion is so fast.
‘Or maybe it’s just so easy that you can do it all.’
Lee Han thought so.
Come to think of it, Yihan also converted quickly and Gainando also converted quickly…
I just didn’t know that the sonic attribute conversion was particularly easy.
“no. That student is…”
Professor Mortum looked surprised and whispered to Professor Garcia.
I thought I was surprised enough thanks to the boy from House Wodanaz, but I found a young warlock who was talented enough, if not as much.
Even if not as much as the boy of the Wardanaz family, he was a talented enough person to be seen once every ten years.
“Are you referring to students from Gainan Island? You definitely have a talent for black magic.”
“Do you think so too?”
“yes. Actively recommend it.”
Professor Garcia did not stop. rather recommended. It was completely different from the way Lee Han was worried that he would specialize in dark magic.
The reason was simple.
Lee Han was a good match for pretty much any field of magic. Innate magical power, excellent perception, flexible and broad thinking, and even a sincere attitude.
In Professor Garcia’s view, such a student had no choice but to excel in any field.
However, Kainando did not seem to have any particular talent in either field.
So, if you find a field that suits your aptitude, learning is the right thing to do.
If you look at it like this, isn’t it a blessing to have a black magic that suits your aptitude?
“Paralyze!”
While the two were talking, Gainando memorized a spell. Although the end was a little different, the curse was successfully cast. Professor Mortum nodded with a satisfied expression.
‘You have talent.’
Shih!
‘ah. Is this why I asked you to face the curse?’
Lee Han could understand Professor Garcia’s words as he felt the curse flying over him.
Why is curse magic so easy to learn?
And why is it good to learn curse magic to learn how to deal with it?
‘Curse magic… The structure is simple and lax.’
Thanks to being fed up with Professor Voladi, Lee Han immediately recognized the weakness of curse magic.
Cursing magic was comparable to throwing a net or cast net.
I just weave a net called curse with magical power and throw it.
If the opponent is hit, the curse is wrapped around it like a net.
It had the advantage of being able to cast quickly and simply without needing to aim, but on the contrary, the magic itself was inevitably weakened.
Shooting other magic at the flying curse, swinging a sword, blocking it with a shield, preparing defensive magic…
This was all the methods Yihan could think of right now, so there must be many more ways to deal with it.
Magic that is easy to block if you know in advance that the opponent will curse you.
That’s why it was clear that he told me to learn curses.
If you learn curse magic a few times, you’ll feel faster when you see other curse magic you’ve never seen before.
‘No, but I’m kind of upset that you’ll find out about this thanks to Professor Voladi.’
If curse magic was a net, Professor Voladi’s magic was more like a swordsman’s sting.
A fraudulent skill that is difficult to block or avoid, and even if it is blocked, it does not stop and leads to the next attack.
Since I dealt with these attacks with my body, I naturally had no choice but to grasp this structure quickly.
Because if you don’t understand, you’re right!
Dig!
While he was thinking, a curse hit Lee Han’s body. Gainando was overjoyed when the curse successfully came out.
“succeded!”
“Congratulations.”
“…Uh, but where is it paralyzed?”
“I know?”
Lee Han, puzzled, looked up and down his body.
It didn’t feel particularly paralyzed.
what?
“Isn’t it a failure?”
“is it?”
“I’ll try again.”
Knowing that he had failed, Gainando raised his staff and prepared the magic again.
“Paralyze!”
Dig!
Just like before, the curse flew and hit Lee Han’s body.
Of course, it was the same as before, nothing had changed.
Lee Han and Gainando put their heads together and went into trouble.
“Maybe there was a problem with the movement?”
“well. The magic seems to have come out just right. Is it because you memorized the spell strangely? ‘Be paralyzed’ is a bit polite. I don’t think it’s a bit like that kind of spell when casting a curse.”
“Is that so? Then, shall we say, ‘It’s paralyzed.’
“…I think it would be enough to just paralyze.”
Professor Garcia, who had been listening to the unanswered conversation between the two freshmen, approached with a sigh.
“It wasn’t that the curse failed, it was that Lee Han had too much mana and it didn’t work. A student from Guinan Province. The student did well.”
“!”
Gainando was surprised.
“what. Was it like that? But still, it doesn’t work at all… Maybe I don’t have any talent for black magic.”
“Do you need to conclude already?”
“no. I had no interest in black magic anyway. I can’t help it even if I don’t have talent.”
Gainando said coolly.
He really had no interest in black magic.
A little more refined and fancy magic is good. Why black magic?
“Then I’ll try.”
“okay. Get ready.”
Lee Han recalled the memory of the professor collapsing earlier.
Of course, the professor was deliberately knocked down, but even thinking about it now, it was a nightmare.
‘I need to adjust my strength. There is no need to gather a lot of mana.’
Lee Han intended to cast it right after collecting the minimum amount.
“paralysis!”
“!”
Professor Mortum, who was watching, was startled.
Cut the order and reduce it.
In magic, spells were more important than I thought.
A person’s words contained powerful power and had a great influence on the wizard’s mind.
As such, it was not an easy task to arbitrarily reduce or cut orders.
No matter how easy the curse magic is, it has already cut and reduced the spell.
“Aww!”
Gainando roared and threw himself to the side. The other students next to him looked at Kainando in amazement.
Lee Han asked as if he was absurd.
“…what are you doing?”
“Oh no. Instinctively…”
“!”
Professor Mortum was startled again.
Sensing ability to sensitively feel and instinctively respond to the sonic-attribute mana contained in the curse.
That was an outstanding talent in black magic.
…Of course, I didn’t have to avoid it so blindly.
* * *
The lecture ended rather warmly.
The students were able to spend a long-awaited good time shooting curses at each other.
Professor Garcia made the students feel even more happy with his kindness that did not give them homework.
“ruler. Did everyone enjoy the lecture today?”
“yes. professor!”
“Applause for Professor Mortum!”
Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap –
“Everyone must be interested in black magic, right?”
“……”
‘I just asked.’
Professor Garcia regretted it.
I should have stopped applauding, but I just asked a question, and the atmosphere got weird.
“Professor Mortum. Please say a word.”
“Coke. Everyone… I think you know a lot about the charms of dark magic. Among the students here, I see some people who are already interested in black magic.”
“?”
“?”
The students tilted their heads.
‘Are you interested?’
‘no. you?’
‘Of course not.’
“Hahaha. Who would seriously want to learn black magic?”
Gainando laughed as if it was nonsense.
