Life of a Magic Academy Mage – 393



Chapter 393

Forced to take a break Yi-Han asked Priestess Siana.

“By the way Priestess Siana. Wasn’t it not your turn this time?”

“Is it that difficult to do a little more work to convey the true meaning of Flameng?”

“…Th that’s right.”

The subtle madness shown by the Immortal Phoenix Tower priests sometimes overwhelmed even Yi-Han.

While students from other towers made all kinds of excuses and tried to skip because they didn’t want to go they came together with the sole intention of spreading their faith to others.

“And I know that Mr. Wardanaz originally wasn’t supposed to come either right?”

At Priestess Siana’s words Yi-Han hesitated.

“I’m… a little different.”

“Really? It seems similar…”

“…Shall we pray?”

Feeling that it wouldn’t be good to talk about this topic for long Yi-Han changed the subject.

Priestess Siana’s face brightened.

“I’ve always thought that Mr. Wardanaz is the one who will inherit Flameng’s will.”

“Is it because of the compliments…?”

“Pardon?”

“It’s nothing.”

Priestess Siana laid out the ritual tools one by one. They were tools used by priests who served Flameng for prayer.

Bowls and cups. Glass bottles and lamps.

The attitude of serving the gods differed from order to order and the Flameng Order was more formal than the Agltakwa Order.

“O One who sees through the essence of things and brings about change as I send my faith like this today please give the clue of change to this believer.”

“The essence of things…”

Yi-Han recited Priestess Siana’s prayer. And just like he did to Agltakwa he offered mana to Flameng.

Whoosh!

“!!!”

When the holy power manifested just like last time Priestess Siana was overjoyed.

‘As expected last time with the Agltakwa Order must have been a coincidence!’

Flameng’s faith must have briefly strayed off course due to coincidence and misunderstanding.

How could someone so sincere about alchemy be a believer of Agltakwa?

With the holy power manifesting so quickly it wouldn’t be long before holy magic awakened.

Yi-Han who had been practicing hard paused for a moment and asked.

“Priestess Siana. Can you also use holy magic by any chance?”

There was no better teaching than seeing and experiencing the magic one was learning beforehand.

If he could see the holy magic of the Flameng Order it might help him get a sense of it.

“Ah. I should have shown you that first.”

“As expected you can use it. In the Flameng Order…”

Yi-Han praised for about 1 minute.

The passing White Tiger Tower students looked at him with an expression that said ‘Did Wardanaz take the wrong medicine?’

Priestess Siana prepared the magic with a very triumphant face.

“It’s nothing much but…”

The snake mixed-blood priest cut her finger with her fingernail. Then she put a drop of blood into the water in the cup.

With an incantation the water bubbled and turned into a potion.

“Impressive!”

This wasn’t flattery but sincere.

Yi-Han had painfully realized how demanding the process was to make a single potion while suffering in the workshop during the vacation.

Although holy magic often broke rules and common sense to make a potion with a single drop of blood like this.

“It’s not that impressive. The potion’s performance also has limits… I heard that outstanding priests make even more amazing potions.”

Yi-Han listened very intently.

If what Priestess Siana said was true the holy magic of the Flameng Order was definitely attractive.

If one reached a high level wouldn’t it be like making gold with blood?

“Does it have to be made with blood?”

“You can spit but… considering the feelings of those who drink it isn’t blood better?”

Yi-Han was about to ask if it couldn’t be hidden but he held back thinking it wasn’t something to say to a priest.

“I see. I will definitely try to awaken holy magic today.”

“…Ah no. You don’t have to do it today? And it’s not like you can do it by forcing it…”

Priestess Siana waved her hands in embarrassment at Yi-Han’s reaction.

Unlike other magic holy magic couldn’t be done just by being motivated. One could get hurt by being too eager.

Of course Priestess Siana also didn’t expect to see results today but…

“That’s right. Don’t overdo it.”

“If you try to forcibly awaken holy magic you can hurt your body.”

“…What are you all doing here?”

Seeing the priests who had gathered behind him at some point nodding their heads and giving advice Priestess Siana glared at them as if dumbfounded.

These priests really…!

—

In the end Yi-Han failed to awaken holy magic (Yi-Han pretended not to hear the sighs of relief from the other priests).

On the way back a thought suddenly occurred to him so Yi-Han threw a question at Priestess Siana.

“Hey.”

“Did you perhaps become curious about Flameng?!”

“…That’s not it. I was just wondering if you know what kind of potion this is.”

Yi-Han took out the potion recipe he received from Yonaire’s sister Yoanen during the vacation.

She didn’t tell him what kind of potion it was saying he would know if he made it himself so Yi-Han still didn’t know what kind of potion this recipe was for.

‘It seems to be an enhancement type but…’

“This potion is… Wow. It’s really amazing!”

Priestess Siana exclaimed as soon as she saw it.

Regardless of which alchemist guild or workshop made it the skill of arranging various ingredients without a single gap to maximize the effect was not ordinary.

The alchemist who completed this recipe must be a perfectionist with no flaws.

“It’s amazing how they came up with this idea.”

After examining it for a while Priestess Siana nodded and said.

“I’m not sure but I have a guess. I helped make something similar at the temple.”

“As expected Priestess Siana…”

Priestess Siana stopped Yi-Han who was about to praise her. She still had more to say.

“Wait a moment. The ingredients include blue myanil flower donghaso and jurran which are often used when making divination-related potions. I think it might be a potion that enhances divination.”

“!”

Yi-Han was surprised.

“A divination enhancement potion… Does that have any meaning?”

There were various types of enhancement potions.

Starting from mana enhancement to stamina strength agility reflexes recovery and so on.

However among them potions that enhanced divination were extremely rare. So rare that even Yi-Han had never heard of them.

‘It probably won’t have any effect right?’

The problem with divination enhancement potions was not the difficulty but the effect.

Even divination magic itself was difficult to cast and even if cast it was hard to be sure if the results were properly interpreted so a potion that enhanced divination was even more absurd.

Why would anyone develop a potion that was difficult to judge whether it was properly enhanced or not?

“That’s true. Divination-related potions are not often made. But the temple occasionally makes them… Seeing the skill of the person who made this I think they must have had some confidence to make it right?”

Even if the effect was difficult to see there were cases where they were made and used as a last resort.

Especially since the holy magic used by the orders was not systematic high-ranking priests often poured in the maximum possible resources when using holy magic.

Hearing about such precedents Yi-Han started to become slightly interested.

‘Miss Yoanen’s skills are definitely excellent. If it’s a recipe that has been attempted several times even in temples… It might be a much more improved version.’

Strong divination was similar to excellent intuition.

Yi-Han imagined himself drinking this potion and taking the skull principal’s exam.

-Kwaaak! I’m so frustrated that my skull is going to shatter!-

‘Hmm. It probably won’t be to that extent.’

“Oh. Mr. Wardanaz?”

“Yeah?”

“You can finish the praise you were giving earlier.”

“…Uh-huh.”

For a moment Yi-Han thought Priestess Siana was a bit like Gainando.

—

Morning.

Since there was no morning lecture for once Yi-Han was going to spend it leisurely.

Go to the vegetable garden and tend to the crops a bit check on the basilisk egg go to the stable and see Niffirg’s face a bit…

Actually it didn’t seem very leisurely but Yi-Han tried to believe it was leisurely.

“Wardanaz! Wardanaz!”

“Let’s go quickly!”

Until Anglago and the White Tiger Tower students came rushing in and called him.

“…Can’t we go after lunch… Alright. Let’s go.”

Yi-Han was about to say they could go later but he gave up after seeing the faces of the White Tiger Tower students.

If he refused they looked like they would really wail and roll on the floor.

Bang bang bang!

“Ah. You brought the golem.”

When he knocked on the door Professor Verduus came out of his tower yawning.

While the professor was examining the deactivated golem the White Tiger Tower students watched with anxious faces.

“Wardanaz. Will it be okay? Can it be healed?”

“Why are you asking me that…”

“You have no heart!!”

“…”

“So sorry. I got too excited. I’m worried about the golem…”

‘Were these guys always this emotional?’

Yi-Han inwardly changed his evaluation of Anglago and his friends.

He had thought of them as a pack of beasts who only swung swords and went ‘Roar I swing the sword’…

“It’s well-made. Even though it’s over ten years old it’s still in this condition.”

“Could it have been made by your disciples Professor?”

“Who knows? I don’t really know what my disciples make.”

Verduus picked up a quill and started scribbling.

Then he handed it to the students.

“Here.”

Five bundles of well-groomed birch wood three boxes of granite bricks basalt (in large chunks) a bundle of jomayeong two bottles of Cevellan mountain binding potion…

“What is this?”

“Materials needed for repair.”

The White Tiger Tower students were taken aback.

Of course they thought Professor Verduus would just fix it.

Moreover there were more materials required than they thought. It would be several times more difficult to obtain them inside the school than outside.

“Professor don’t you have the materials?”

“Me? I do but?”

“Th then you can use those right?”

“Why? It’s your golem.”

“…”

The White Tiger Tower students at a loss for words looked at Yi-Han as if asking for help but Yi-Han ignored them pretending not to see.

Professor Verduus was right about this.

“…Alright. We’ll get them! If we bring them you’ll definitely fix it!”

“Yeah! Bring them quickly!”

Seeing the White Tiger Tower students burning with passion Yi-Han asked with a bit of worry.

“Will you be able to get them?”

“Don’t worry. Wardanaz. We are knights. Once a knight makes a pledge no hardship can break that vow.”

“Al alright then.”

—

“It seems there are absent students…”

Professor Ingurdel said looking around at the students gathered for the swordsmanship lecture.

“I don’t give disadvantages or anything to those who say they won’t participate. In the end if you don’t put in the effort yourself you can’t go higher in swordsmanship. Now let’s split up…”

“…Wardanaz.”

Jijel spoke to Yi-Han. Yi-Han quickly reviewed what he had done during the vacation and answered.

“Why?”

“Do you think those who didn’t show up… No never mind.”

“…What’s never mind after saying everything? I didn’t attack them.”

“What did I say. Moradi. I said Yi-Han isn’t the culprit.”

Dolgyu answered in a very relieved voice. For someone who firmly believed in his friend he looked too happy.

“In life there are times when you can be absent…”

Yi-Han who was speaking hesitated.

Come to think of it the ones who were missing were Anglago and his friends.

‘…Don’t tell me these guys skipped the lecture to gather materials??’

It was an amazing determination that was hard for Yi-Han to even imagine.

“…Let’s go into the forest. Today we’ll assume a situation where we fight in the forest.”

At Professor Ingurdel’s words Yi-Han asked the two.

“I’m curious about something.”

“What is it? Yi-Han?”

“…?”

“If Professor Ingurdel goes into the forest and sees the absent students playing in the forest will he get angry?”
