Chapter 76
“Thank you so much for welcoming me like this.”
Summoning magic professor Miley came inside, puzzled by the atmosphere of the heated classroom.
Despite his old age, Professor Millay, who maintained an upright posture, could be seen by anyone looking at him as an aristocrat from a long-standing imperial family.
An aristocrat from a great family can show off just by walking and talking.
‘The guys in the tower of the blue dragon are a bit of an exception now.’
Of course, the exception was the students who were locked in the tower and starved. Nobility or anything else lost face when someone became obsessed with it.
Professor Millay slightly raised the monocle he was wearing over one eye. He seemed like a very strict perfectionist.
But Lee Han was not afraid.
‘Anyone would be better than Professor Voladi.’
Professor Garcia started explaining briefly from the side.
“Like black magic, full-fledged summoning magic is a field that can be learned from the second year onwards. However, calling Professor Millay today is a good opportunity to learn what summoning magic is, but at the same time…”
-■■■■■
A summoned beast escaped from the school grounds outside the classroom at the right time and howled. The windows trembled.
“…It’s because I thought it would be helpful to you all when I thought about the current school situation.”
“Professor Garcia…!”
“We only have professors!”
Some of the students took out handkerchiefs and wiped their tears.
Professor Millay watched the scene without a change in expression. Then he said in a hard voice.
“Professor Garcia. May I begin?”
“yes. Please start.”
“Students interested in summoning magic here?”
All students raised their hands. Lee Han also raised his hand. I didn’t know why Professor Mortum’s sad face passed by.
‘But summoning magic is really good magic.’
Just as black magic is divided into various fields such as curses, summoning elemental undead, and negative energy, summoning magic is not just a summoning magic, it is a magic that includes many fields within it.
Summon spirits summon demons summon monsters summon artifacts summon artifacts and so on.
As it was a magic that included all sorts of things, from living things to non-living things (it even overlapped with black magic to some extent), its uses were endless.
In an old fairy tale, there was a story that a wizard lived happily for a long, long time after suffering all his life and then contracting with an outstanding summoned beast (and lazily).
As much as it was a fairy tale, I couldn’t believe it all, but once the summoning magic was great, it was good to live.
“Thank you. However, there will be only one student who is qualified to learn summoning magic here.”
“……”
“……”
The professors were originally good at pouring cold water on them. So did Professor Millais. she said sternly.
“I will not hide it. Summoning magic is a difficult magic. If you do not have the ability to learn, but come to the lecture in the second grade, it will be difficult for the student.”
‘That’s the professor.’
Lee Han was amazed.
If a student doesn’t have the ability to learn, you have to dry it or wait ‘why can’t you learn? Let’s see if I can’t learn before I die.’
“Summoning magic cannot be learned simply with magical knowledge in one field. Summoning spirits requires a deep understanding of animology, summoning demons requires a deep understanding of demonology, and summoning monsters requires a deep understanding of monsterology. Even the relatively easy summoning of inanimate objects isn’t easy. So let me say it again. If you’re not confident, you’d better not be interested in summoning magic.”
However, the students were rather more open-minded.
How many people will back down because it is difficult at such a young age? Everyone seemed more motivated.
No matter how easy it was, it was the exact opposite of the black magic that the students were squeamish about.
Professor Garcia whispered softly.
“They are all talented students. Could you give me one chance?”
Professor Millay nodded.
Pod!
As he swung his wand, magic circle scrolls with strange shapes suddenly appeared in front of the students.
It was not a single-use scroll that could be triggered by tearing it, but a fixed scroll with a magic circle engraved on top of an unfolded scroll.
“Everyone must be listening to < Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic >.”
“yes.”
Upon hearing the name of the river, the students’ expressions changed as if they had bitten a frog.
There were not many students who could endure the torture of terrible numbers that were neither magic nor culture.
‘Honestly, that’s pretty easy.’
Lee Han swallowed the thought that he would have thrown a stone if his other friends had heard of it.
“It is too difficult!”
“Then the student has no chance of learning summoning magic.”
“……”
Cainando kept his mouth shut when he said one word and was about to be eliminated from the summoning magic.
“Listen to < Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic >, everyone. Creation and calculation of magic circles are essential in summoning magic.”
Lee Han read the magic circle.
Unlike Gainando, whose eyes were already spinning and wandering, Lee Han could see what kind of magic circle the drawn magic circle was.
‘Right. Magical power like this…’
The magic circle was a kind of circuit.
The difference is that in an electric circuit, electricity flows, while in a magic circle, magic power flows.
As any magician who has ever used magic knows, casting magic was a difficult task.
The higher the difficulty level of magic, the more so.
First of all, the required amount of magical power increased, and the structure of the magic that had to be composed of that magical power also became more complicated.
Even with magic, it wasn’t for nothing that people said, “This isn’t magic that people can do.”
It was the magic circle that helped such wizards.
A secondary tool that reduces the burden on the wizard by circulating mana in various forms, such as amplifying in some parts, reducing in others, and blocking in others.
While calculating the magic power circulating along the magic circle and envisioning it in his head, Lee Han instantly saw the illusion of a quill.
‘…what?’
There are no coincidences in the world of magic.
Lee Han realized that the quill he had just seen was related to this magic circle.
“This magic circle is a summoning magic circle that summons a quill.”
“A quill?”
“A quill…?”
Students were perplexed.
At least, when he said he was summoning a quill rather than a dagger, he said, ‘Why bother?’
Lee Han shook his head.
‘Because they seem like ungrateful people.’
If Professor Millay cleans up the desk and throws a summoning circle of demons and says, ‘If you don’t want to die, succeed in summoning’, will you take responsibility?
Fortunately, Professor Millais was different from Professor Voladi. The professor spoke in a firm voice that did not change at all.
“A magic quill composed of magic power. The ones summoned by the students won’t last long, so just focus on summoning them for now.”
As soon as the professor finished speaking, the students swung their wands and activated the magic circle.
“Come out, quill!”
“Magic quill. Please come out!”
Along with the incantation, magic circles were set on fire and scrolls were torn.
It is a magic circle made to withstand magic, but it can be damaged and broken according to the magician’s mistake.
Of course, as expected, Professor Millay swung his cane.
The damaged magic circle disappeared and a new magic circle appeared.
Maybe 30 minutes passed.
Students who summoned something similar to a quill began to appear from all over the place.
The Blue Dragon Tower had the most successful numbers, such as Yoner and Adenart Asan, and the Black Turtle Tower and the Phoenix Tower also had quite a few students.
The white tiger towers were the fewest in number, but a few gifted students called out something like a quill.
Seeing the students smile, Professor Garcia smiled wryly.
‘I can’t like it with that.’
In fact, Professor Millay’s face stood still, like a hard piece, without the slightest movement.
The difficulty of summoning magic lies in this point.
‘Similarly summoned’ is tantamount to failure!
Elemental magic, even if there was a difference in size or shape, was close to success once it was done, but summoning magic was the exact opposite.
If it’s not perfect, it means nothing.
I couldn’t help it. Since it is a study that gives will to summoned objects, even the slightest mistake could cause the summoned objects to attack the wizard.
It’s fortunate that it’s a quill at least…
“Moon… This bastard from the moon card attacked me with a magic quill!!”
“Okay, Cainando! The quill moved on its own! More than that, it’s just a quill!”
“It’s an imperial assassination! Assassination of the royal family! Help Lee Han!”
“It’s just a quill! What a percent chance of dying from a quill!”
Of course, that quill alone was enough to cause a commotion.
* * *
Anrago of the Alpha family belonging to the White Tiger Tower felt proud when he saw the sleek shape of the quill.
I felt that I was falling behind in various magics because of my identity, but the summoning magic was a little different.
Maybe even better than Giselle.
“!”
Angrago looked very sad when he saw Lee Han sitting in front of him.
In front of Lee Han, there was nothing but a quill.
For the first time, Anrago summoned Yihan, thinking that he could break the nose of that evil archmage boy from the Wardanaz family.
“Wardanaz. Could it be that the summoning failed?”
“……”
“Wodanaz! don’t ignore it! Look at my quill!”
Yoner, who was next to him, responded instead.
“Didn’t you have a quill at home? Do you want to brag about your quill?”
“Look at my quill here…”
BANG!!!
A roar erupted. Angrago instantly fell on his knees in fear, thinking that Lee Han had used black magic.
A number of magic quills began to form on top of Lee Han’s magic circle.
“……”
Lee Han looked at the fluttering quills with a confused expression.
‘It failed.’
Angrago shouted something behind her back, but Yihan didn’t hear it. He was so focused.
It is the act of sending mana to the easily destroyed magic circle to complete the summoning magic.
It was just difficult for the other students, but it was terribly difficult for Lee Han.
The moment you get out of control even a little bit, waves of magical power will tear the magic circle apart.
Because of this, Lee Han gave up halfway when others started.
‘Summoning magic might not suit my aptitude.’
Perhaps Lee Han’s destiny was to become a battle mage like Professor Voladi.
…But unexpectedly, the magic circle was not damaged.
Lee Han himself was surprised.
‘Was I like this?’
Perfect understanding of the magic circle.
and recently (forced) increased horsepower control.
When these two were combined, Lee Han succeeded in not destroying the magic circle.
It was an amazing result.
‘Oops. The task was summoning.’
Impressed by the fact that he could channel magic without destroying the magic circle, Lee Han continued to send magic into the magic circle and came to his senses.
The task was not to break the magic circle, but to summon the magic quill.
“Come out, quill.”
Lee Han muttered simply and waved his staff.
bang!!!
At that moment, a great number of magic quills were created on top of the magic circle with a roar.
Surprised by this unusual failure phenomenon, Professor Garcia turned his gaze to the side.
It was the first time I had ever seen Professor Millay’s eyebrows raised like that.
“Originally, student Lee Han had a lot of magical powers, so such a failure…”
Prof. Garcia’s excuse made Professor Millay’s face back to normal and said calmly.
“That’s not a failure, Professor Garcia.”
