Episode 678:
Ga-Won, a magician belonging to the Magic Tower in Daylight, Flaher City.
Gawon was a person who was proud of himself.
In fact, among wizards, it was rare to find someone with low self-esteem. It was because it was not possible for anyone to set foot in the study of changing reality with one’s own will, and it required natural talent.
As such, it was not strange for wizards to think of themselves as the chosen ones.
Even half-witted wizards who learned magic from magic books they picked up on the road without having a proper teacher are treated very well, much less how about wizards belonging to the Mage Tower.
A mage like Ga-Won couldn’t help but be proud.
But there is another sky above the sky.
There was an opponent that the name Day Chu-ri Mage Tower did not work with, so it was Ein Lorgard.
The enemy of imperial magic!
“Thank you for lending me. It is called Lee Han.”
“You are comfortable. I am a member of the One Chu-ri Mage Tower.”
“thank you!”
Gainando stretched right to the side. Lee Han kicked Gainando in the back. Cainando quickly got up.
“Everybody’s in a state… what happened?”
“I had some business.”
Lee Han said with a bitter expression.
Too many things had happened in the Bitter Mountains.
However, Ga-Won seemed to understand Lee Han’s expression in a different way.
“You seem to have done some pretty dangerous and difficult magic research… I won’t ask you any more.”
“It’s not like that.”
“yes. I will do that.”
“……”
Lee Han smelled the other person talking only about himself.
It wasn’t too surprising. Difficulty communicating was one of the characteristics of wizards.
“Are you all participating in the exchange meeting tonight?”
“What exchange meeting are you talking about?”
“It’s the Mage Tower Exchange Meeting. held in Flaher this year.”
The study of magic was so wide and endless that it was not easy to dig into it alone, even if you were a genius.
That’s why wizards used to make guilds and build mage towers and work together.
It does not end there, but a place to share and exchange the knowledge and visions gained from each other.
That was an exchange meeting.
Even if it wasn’t a large-scale conference held by the magic schools of the empire, exchange meetings held by guilds or mage towers from nearby areas were more frequent than expected. It seemed that the exchange meeting to be held this time would be held in Flaher City.
“ah. no. We were not invited.”
“No matter the invitation! It’s a free seat. If you are a student of Einrogard, you are welcome to attend.”
Gawon said with sincerity.
It wasn’t such a hard seat, and no one would say that Ein Rogard students were not qualified because they were visiting.
I was able to participate comfortably.
“As far as I know, I heard that other Einrogard students will also participate.”
“Are you sure?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
Ein Rogard was not a guild or mage tower in this nearby area.
“As I said, it is a free seat. If you are interested and qualified, you are welcome to visit. Isn’t that person also interested in the magic that appears at the exchange meeting?”
‘Is it another senior?’
Lee Han thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to talk about it once if Ein Lorgard’s seniors were participating.
A new semester will start soon and I will be meeting many seniors, but it wasn’t bad because I got acquainted with them in advance.
“Let me think about it. really. Do you have anything to announce at the exchange meeting today?”
To Lee Han’s question, Gawon answered with a proud and confident expression.
“Of course.”
“oh. What are you announcing?”
“Hmmmm. Could you please look at this?”
Ga-Won made it by overlapping three magic circles on the bottom of the wagon, then placed the reagents and began to memorize the spell.
Lee Han, who was watching it from the side, said with interest.
“You maintain the sphere form with water elemental magic and then give it additional properties. Sorting and amplifying mana…
”
Ga-Won, who was reciting the spell, was choking because he heard a sare.
He didn’t know that the boy next to him would guess the magic right away without explanation.
“Uh… how?”
“yes? I am a wizard too.”
‘This is why people from Einrogard…!’
If that was the case with the same wizard, there would be no reason for Ga-Won to suffer so much.
Ga-Won laughed out loud, but held it in. He could have regretted it for the rest of his life if he had a grudge against a wizard from Ein Rogard.
“Even if you are a wizard, you cannot recognize such complicated magic at once.”
‘I don’t think it’s particularly complicated…’
Compared to the magic of the skull principals and professors, the magic Gawon was preparing was simple and easy to understand.
Of course, it would be rude to say that, so Lee Han said it in a good way.
“I have seen similar magic before, so I think I recognized it quickly. I had some luck.”
“ha ha ha. Isn’t that too simple?”
Ga-Won looked at Lee Han.
This magic summoned a sphere of water into the air and turned it into a device that filtered and amplified mana.
It was quite practical and decent, so it was well received within the Mage Tower, but I was a little concerned because Gawon didn’t seem to have improved much from the < Ota no Light Star Prism > magic that was announced 5 years ago.
As long as a similar magic has appeared, the latecomer must show a more novel and outstanding attempt to receive favorable reviews.
“I don’t think it’s important to be complex or simple in magic. The important thing is whether or not it has any effect.”
“Isn’t it?!”
Gawon’s face brightened.
Confidence was boosted by the support of Ein Rogard students.
“But I think this part of the magic circle can be omitted.”
“yes? This serves to hold the shape of the seat…”
“Even without it, it will be fixed by the force of the other side.”
“Sleep…”
Before Ga-Won could stop him, Yi-Han cut off part of the magic circle.
Surprisingly, however, the magic remained intact.
“!!”
“I don’t think we need the magic of this border.”
“That’s not real! It is necessary to amplify and secure the mana required for magic…”
“It is enough to compress the mana here.”
Lee Han redraws a part of the magic circle drawn with light ink, and compresses the magic momentarily into black ink.
It was a simple fix that took less than a second, but that alone reduced the mana required for this magic circle by 1/3.
Kawon blinked her eyes in surprise.
‘Eh… Ein Lorgard…!’
How scary!
* * *
“Alcicle. Would you like to come with me?”
“hmm. I think you’d better go and come. You will learn a lot.”
Alcicle listened to the exchange meeting and actively recommended it.
Wizards basically knew more about other wizards, the better.
“What about Alcicle?”
“I do not want to.”
“You don’t have to eat sardines.”
“…not because of the sardines, but because of my research results. When I go out there, questions will come flying about how my research is going.”
Alcicle groaned as if the thought of it was terrifying. Lee Han looked at Alcicle as if he felt sorry for him.
It was a future that not only Alcicle but also Lee Han could experience someday.
‘Every time the professors meet, if I ask how the magic they are practicing is going, they might go crazy.’
“How was the Bitter Mountains?”
“I met a unicorn.”
“what? really?”
Alcicle was surprised.
Professor Lightningwalker was an excellent explorer, but isn’t the unicorn just as rare?
I had no choice but to be lucky to meet them, but how did they meet?
“and. Congratulations. Did you get one of the hairs of a unicorn?”
“I received the fur and the horn pieces… and decided to raise them in Einrogard.”
“…what?? why?!”
Alcicle, who had been lying sideways, jumped up.
The unicorn didn’t make a nest in a place with a lot of people.
What happened?
“That found the missing professor, who was taking care of the unicorn.”
“ah. That mich… Professor Bendozol?”
‘It’s famous!?’
Lee Han was surprised when Alcicle realized who Bendozol was.
“There is not just one Taochil, but several unicorns, so the unicorns are in danger…”
“Oh my God.”
“The headmaster came and took Professor Bendosol and moved the unicorn to Einlogard.”
“…for a moment. wait for a sec.”
Alcicle was taken aback when he heard it.
It’s not some kind of ancient play, but suddenly at the end of the story, the skeleton headmaster comes and solves everything?
“I think there were a lot of omissions in between…”
“Ah. Alcicle. I must depart.”
“That’s right. have a good trip Don’t forget to tell me next time.”
“It’s nothing.”
“What part of the story you just talked about isn’t that great?”
Alcicle grumbled but saw Lee Han off.
My friends couldn’t even come out because they were stretched out from magic sickness and fatigue. Even Eandurde was groping.
‘Is this here?’
As I moved to the location I was told by Ga-Won earlier, an old and shabby mansion appeared.
It was small, and the garden was overgrown with weeds, and even looking at the exterior of the mansion, you could see broken parts here and there.
Originally, he would have thought he had come to the wrong place, but Lee Han realized that he had come to the right place because of the magic he felt in the mansion.
‘It must be enchanted inside.’
To a wizard who could expand space, such an appearance meant little.
Lee Han looked around.
People who seemed to be wizards were each packing their belongings and entering the mansion.
And the crow beast wizard with a familiar face wearing a hat tightly pressed down…
“… Senior Diret?!”
“who is this!?”
Diret was startled and flapped the wings on his back and turned his head. Fortunately, it was a familiar junior.
“Junior. What are you doing here?!”
“I was also on vacation, so I was resting. I was invited to the exchange meeting by chance.”
“iced coffee. I guess.”
Diret wondered how Lee Han, who had just finished freshman year, was invited to the exchange party.
It was a place with a free atmosphere, but first-year students are usually not invited.
‘no. It’s possible with him.’
But after a while, Diret convinced himself.
If it was this junior, it seemed that he would be invited enough.
“Are you hiding your identity?”
“It’s not that grandiose… I hope no one recognizes it.”
“Has your research been blocked lately…?”
“?!”
Dereth was taken aback.
How did know!?
“how did you know!?”
“I heard that you don’t participate well in events like this if your research is blocked.”
“that’s right. The eyes are fast. I wore a hat because I didn’t want to be questioned.”
“I don’t think I would attend at all…”
“I was invited, but I can’t leave my name in the guest book. And exchange meetings are also quite helpful. I was wondering if I could get some inspiration.”
Diret let out a sigh before changing the subject.
“Junior. what did you do on vacation Wouldn’t it be just work again?”
“Do not worry. Recently, I chased a unicorn with a professor in the Bitter Mountains.”
Lee Han was pleased, thinking that it sounded quite plausible even to himself.
“Ouch.”
Diret almost dropped his hat when he heard a cough.
“Why are you a professor?”
“Is there a bounty on it?”
“To a unicorn??”
“no. Professor Bendozol.”
“…?”
Dereth wanted to ask what the hell was that about, but realized it was time to enter the bells inside.
“Follow me. I’ll tell you that story again later.”
“yes.”
“…Did you find the unicorn?”
“Yes. The principal took me to Ein Rogard.”
“……”
