Life of a Magic Academy Mage – 456



Episode 456

In fact having to take a midterm exam was a kind of stereotype.

If there are unavoidable circumstances or the professor’s opinion the midterm exam can be replaced with another assignment or combined with the final exam.

Of course the skeleton principal did not give permission easily.

Basically there were so many professors at Einrogard who had no conscience so if they let them go there could be tests like ‘I know it’s annoying but should I give the student who threw the cane and flew the furthest an A+?’

But in a situation like now there really is nothing we can do.

I heard the prepared dungeon was flooded!

“It’s truly unfortunate. professor.”

“I guess so.”

‘I guess so.’

Professor Boladi thought that Lee Han would also be truly in pain.

Of course Lee Han didn’t feel much pain.

However seeing a student happy by the professor’s side when he or she is in pain is the same as declaring ‘I have a swollen liver.’

Lee Han tried to look as pained as possible.

‘I’m imagining losing the top grade in my grade. The skeleton principal is laughing from the side.’

“What about the basilisk?”

Rattling!

The basilisk egg in the backpack that Lee Han put down next to him could be heard rattling in fear.

I had to take care of him a lot these days so Lee Han put him in his backpack and carried him around and because of that he ended up meeting a crazy wizard.

“…Wouldn’t it take a little longer?”

“I asked Professor Lightning Step for advice. “There is an elixir that promotes growth.”

“There is a side effect of becoming violent and irritable.”

As close as I was to Professor Lightning Walk Lee Han had also heard of it.

-Since you are good at handling animals and are good at alchemy you might think about this later.

-Am I good at handling animals?

-Since you are good at scaring animals and are good at alchemy you may feel this way later.

-…

-The plan is to buy the babies of rare animals at a low price promote their growth with various elixirs and then sell them…

-That’s the way! Magic is truly amazing!

-…Listen until the end. Originally magic meant changing the rules and providence of the world. If you do that recklessly it won’t end well.

Professor Lightning Walk told a story about a foolish dwarf alchemist who once raised a large number of manticores on his ranch and tried to sell them to the Knights.

Even so feeding growth elixir to monsters with ferocious wild nature was too dangerous.

If monsters explode at some point where will that anger go?

-Are you by any chance Professor Thunderwalk?

-…no! Is that what you thought of the thunderstorm!?

In any case as it was such a dangerous task Lee Han had no intention of giving the elixir to the basilisk.

The basilisk egg latched onto Lee Han. He felt clearly who would protect him.

“Isn’t it good to be violent and eccentric?”

Professor Boladi tilted his head.

We were going to fight anyway right?

“…”

…

Lee Han got the feeling that Al was glaring at Professor Boladi in anger.

I wasn’t sure but somehow it felt that way.

“Aren’t you a more powerful opponent if you are cool and calm?”

“Indeed… do you prefer that type of fight?”

“It’s not that I prefer that kind of fight but… damn it. “I prefer it.”

Lee Han couldn’t bear to throw away the basilisk egg so he admitted it.

Al was so scared.

‘I need to change the subject.’

“Don’t be too upset. professor. There are probably many ways. “Use the water breathing spell and go down…”

“I’ve thought about it.”

Lee Han felt his heart sink at Professor Boladi’s blunt answer.

He was just joking!

‘I will curse myself if I lose control of my tongue one more time.’

Lee Han reflected very deeply.

“But the damage was severe.”

“Oh my.”

Once again Lee Han was deeply grateful to the water spirit.

If it weren’t for the great flood I would have been able to handle it myself.

“So is today’s lecture over?”

Lee Han asked with a slightly expectant voice. If I finished early I was planning to go and study what I had missed.

The Skull Principal and the White Tiger Tower students said nonsense like ‘You don’t have to study’ but Lee Han wasn’t fooled by those words.

It was clear that they were trying to keep Lee Han’s grades in check.

“If it’s over I’ll be done…”

Professor Boladi slowly shook his head. And he came walking on the water and he got on Lee Han’s ferryboat.

Lee Han was shocked that his boat was taken away without his knowledge but he could not say anything.

‘Oh my god what a robber with a stick.’

Professor Boladi waved his cane without heeding anything.

Then the ferryboat began to move quickly as if someone invisible was pushing it from behind.

Sigh-

“?”

At first Lee Han sat without thinking but as the ferry began to move further and further away from the main building he became slightly embarrassed.

‘what?’

If you continue heading north like this you will come to the Hell Mountain Range which Einro Guard is proud of (it was actually just a mountain range but Lee Han and his friends called it the Hell Mountain Range).

He thought that since the dungeon he had prepared was gone he would just need to do some simple practice or training…

widely-

Even if there was a major flood the entire mountain range did not sink. As we got closer dry land and a dense forest came into view.

Professor Boladi looked at Lee Han. It meant getting down.

“professor. “I have a question…”

Instead of answering the professor raised one of his fingers. It meant to be quiet.

Seeing this Lee Han suddenly became ominous.

Although Professor Boladi was a crazy wizard he was still a crazy wizard who answered questions.

Why doesn’t he suddenly answer my questions?

‘Is it dangerous if I make a sound now?’

Lee Han quickly checked the monsters that appeared in the mountain range in his head.

As I received lectures on <What will come out of the mountain behind Ainrogard?> in my spare time under Professor Lightning Walk many monsters came to mind.

‘shit. There are too many.’

When I thought about it there were too many monsters that were dangerous if they made noise.

Lee Han got on his nerves and wondered if he should memorize his magic in advance.

It was good for him to memorize the spell in advance but chanting it in a situation where he had to do it quietly could also be dangerous.

-Are you here?

The sound came from above.

Lee Han inadvertently raised his head. Among the tall dense trees of the forest a familiar giant’s head was looking down at Lee Han.

The hair is shorter than last time.

It was Ikurusha the mountain giant who had made a bet with Lee Han and gave him his hair.

“Ikurusha!”

-Nice to meet you again. But please lower your voice.

Ikurusha gestured as if to be quiet.

-Right now other giants are mating the goats because it is a sensitive period for the goats.

“?”

Lee Han didn’t understand for a moment.

Even if mountain goats are sensitive aren’t they still goats?

-ah. I’m sorry. Wizards don’t call themselves mountain goats. The name will be slightly different.

“What is it?”

-Was it a mountain-destroying sheep? Mountain range predator? Mountain range collapse?

“…”

Professor Boladi answered for me.

“It’s a mountain-destroying sheep.”

-ah. That’s right.

The Mountain Breaking Sheep was a large monster that looked like a sheep but had the size of a giant and could pierce rock.

Calling it a mountain goat was as shameless as calling a tanju fish a goldfish.

* * *

Ikurusha guided Lee Han and Professor Boladi to the newly built house.

The cave house had a rough appearance as if it had been built with the fists of giants but it was truly comfortable on the inside.

As soon as Ihan and Professor Boladi sat down Ikurusha brought in one of her chessboards.

-Since we haven’t seen each other in a while let’s have a round.

“ah. yes.”

Lee Han was nervous but left it at that.

The opening started with d4 and Bf4 and after a solid defense castling with the queenside and a strong push from the kingside Ikurusha destroyed itself in vain.

-this!

“Mr. Ikurusha.”

When Professor Boladi called Ikurusha asked in an earnest voice.

-Can we have one more round? I’ll put it quickly in shorthand.

The professor nodded his head.

This Kuru Shah was excited and quickly summarized his words.

When Lee Han saw that enlightenment came to him.

‘for a moment. If you take your time…!’

I don’t know why Professor Boladi brought him to Ikurusha but he could just play chess and go back when time was up.

Last time I saw it Ikurusha is a giant who likes to open with e4 Nf3 Bb5 when he gets white.

In that case Lee Han-do could have placed the knight at f6 and created a solid black barrier.

‘It drags on and leads to a draw.’

Professor Ikurusha and Boladi did not realize Lee Han’s evil intentions.

Ikurusha didn’t know anything about it and was deep in thought as he pounded on Ihan’s wall.

“Mr. Ikurusha.”

-ah. I’m sorry. I guess I should quit.

“…”

Lee Han was dumbfounded as he watched the giant quit without regret when an excuse came up in an unfavorable situation.

Why is someone who seems like a gentleman in other areas so… when it comes to chess?

‘They left it as long as possible. ‘I should at least place a bet.’

-You know I told my professors about you a few times after that impressive showdown last time.

“yes???????”

Lee Han was so shocked that he shouted without even realizing it.

Why on earth would you do such an ungrateful thing?

‘Are all giants shameless bastards??’

Maybe people should cut their hair not their hair to avoid betrayal.

-Why are you so surprised?

“…As a wizard it’s shameful that false rumors are being spread.”

-You’re humble.

Ikurusha looked at Professor Boladi as if praising him. The professor was expressionless but nodded his head in agreement.

-Some professors showed interest. In the case of Professor Bagrek he asked me if I could get some help with his lecture so I agreed.

“oh…”

Lee Han held back the words ‘Why on earth did you do that?’ from coming out.

-Unlike other giants I try to listen to requests made by Einroguard wizards. If you live here in the mountains you will find yourself in the care of wizards whether you know it or not… Now that I think about it is the Archmage safe?

“exactly.”

-Thank goodness. Thank you again for what happened last time. Giant hunters are vicious and vicious people so if the Archmage had not helped them the damage would have been great.

The professor nodded his head.

After listening to the heart-warming conversation Lee Han could no longer bear it and asked cautiously.

“But what kind of help are you giving me?”

-I was asked to create various situations that a battle mage might encounter. After listening to it I thought that even if the giants here are a bit stupid they could do that well.

bang!!!!!!!

As soon as I finished speaking a loud noise as if the world was ending was heard outside.

It sounded like a mountain range collapsing.

-this. A mountain goat escaped. I should catch it within today.

“…”

-What were you talking about? ah. It was a story that helped with the lecture. Giants can do it well but the problem is that these guys are a bit stupid… and may not understand the power control or test. So I thought I should call him first.

If we told the giants ‘Test the wizard by adjusting the difficulty level so that he doesn’t die’ it could have been too difficult.

It would have been better to get to know the giants in advance and get to know them.

If the giants think they are their friends they will control their strength on their own.

-More than anything no matter how good a wizard he is I think it would be a bit dangerous and sudden to suddenly throw him into a crisis without checking. Shouldn’t we give it time to get used to it?

Ikurusha shrugged her shoulders.

“It’s okay.”

-Is that so?

“If you don’t believe me try it now.”

“professor. “Now that I think about it I think even a submerged underground dungeon can have its own sense of accomplishment.”
