Life of a Magic Academy Mage – 457



Episode 457

Of course I couldn’t challenge the flooded dungeon. Professor Boladi did not allow his beloved student to venture into an incomplete dungeon.

-Of course since he is a professor he will teach better than me. But since it involves giants it’s hard to give up on this.

Ikurusha thought that if Ihan was to be tested by the giants he should get used to it in advance.

If we collided in an unprepared situation an unexpected accident could have occurred.

How dangerous would it be for a young wizard like Lee Han to develop hatred towards giants due to such a mistake?

In the future if an archmage with a title like <Giant Slayer> appears…

‘I think I’m already going to have hatred.’

Ihan felt like hatred was rising just from what Ikurusha had just said to the professors.

“I will respect you.”

Professor Boladi made a very generous concession. I had no conscience.

-Then let’s go meet other giants. Are you ready?

Ikurusha squinted his eyes to relieve Ihan’s tension.

Of course because it was a giant it didn’t have much effect.

bang!!!!!!!!

-hmm. I’d better wait a little longer and then head out.

It seemed like another goat had escaped outside.

* * *

Only after all the goats were caught was Lee Han able to go outside.

Behind Ikurusha who was walking languidly Professor Boladi gave advice to Lee Han.

“Do not lower your staff in front of a giant.”

“…”

‘I really want to hit you.’

I’m giving you advice now…

“Do you have any other advice?”

“Giants are generally difficult to predict.”

Wise and intelligent giants like Ikurusha were rare and it was difficult to understand what most giants were thinking.

It was not for nothing that explorers traveling to remote areas of the empire were afraid of giants speaking to them.

If you get caught up in the wrong thing you’ll be forced to participate in an unreasonable bet…

“?”

Lee Han tilted his head.

Professor Boladi’s words ended there.

“Is there anything else?”

“Didn’t I just say that?”

“…aha.”

So the advice was ‘Giants are generally difficult to predict.’

Lee Han closed his eyes.

‘I’d rather be a giant.’

Giants who don’t know what they’re thinking are better than professors next to them.

Bubbly-

When we arrived at the sloping ranch located on the ridge where the giants were resting the first thing that caught our eye was a huge cauldron.

The giants were cutting up chunks of rock and throwing them into the cauldron with tired faces.

“?”

When I looked again it was not a rock but cheese. Lee Han had never seen such a large piece of cheese.

-It’s goat cheese. Are you interested?

“yes? yes.”

Lee Han first nodded his head.

As he lived in Einro Guard he couldn’t help but be interested in food ingredients.

Ikurusha approached the giant and motioned for him to hand over the cheese.

-Give it to me.

-why…?

-You have to treat guests.

-Why…??

-Just give it to me!

Pop!

Ikurusha got angry and snatched the cheese from the giant’s hand. Then he cut a small piece and presented it to Lee Han.

The giant behind him glared at Li Han with a mixture of sadness anger and resentment in his eyes.

“…Oh no. “There’s no need to take it away and give it to me…”

-Don’t worry about it. These guys are naturally prone to pouting. It will be resolved soon.

Ikurusha said that but the giant’s eyes glaring at Ihan contained very deep emotions.

Lee Han received the cheese with an uneasy feeling.

Kang!

The stone-shaped cheese was as hard as a stone.

…Then isn’t it just a stone?

“Isn’t it a stone?”

-Hmm? for a moment.

Ikurusha checked the cheese.

It was not a stone nor an old hardened cheese but freshly made cheese.

-It’s cheese.

‘I can’t use it as a food ingredient.’

Lee Han gave up and returned the cheese to the giant. The giant took his cheese and blew his nose so much that Lee Han flew away.

“Ikurusha. “I need to build friendships with those giants but wouldn’t it be a bit dangerous to start like this?”

-It’s okay. are you okay.

‘I don’t think it’s okay.’

Lee Han quickly grasped the situation.

This Kurusha was a wise giant but since he was a giant he wasn’t too worried about getting to know other giants.

He believes that even if the giants get a little angry and sulky they will soon become friends.

But in Lee Han’s opinion that was too optimistic a thought.

‘I’ll have to get as close as possible.’

“hello.”

-…

-…

The giants sitting around the pot showed blatant disapproval when Lee Han arrived and hid the large brass bowl in their arms.

He had a look on his face that said he didn’t want to live with Lee Han.

‘It’s not some kind of Cainando…’

“I didn’t come to get food. everyone. “I wanted to say hello…”

-Give me some!

Ikurusha ran back and shouted.

Lee Han covered his face with both palms in frustration.

-This… The human race can’t eat it.

-I can’t even eat well.

The giants protested but Ikurusha firmly scolded the greedy young giants.

He then scooped up a large amount of porridge from the pot with a ladle and served it to Lee Han.

“Thank you persimmon.”

-I can’t eat it. anyway.

-It’s a waste of food.

The giants grunted and complained. Lee Han became more and more uncomfortable in his seat.

‘You must eat it deliciously.’

With the atmosphere going like this he had no choice but to enjoy it.

Lee Han looked down at his bowl.

“…”

‘Isn’t it lava?’

Looking at the red liquid bubbling I couldn’t tell if it was dead or lava.

“…thank you for this food.”

Lee Han cursed the professors of Einrogard and moved the porridge into his mouth.

‘Ugh.’

It was like screaming for the first time in a long time.

A fiery taste that seems to have all the flavors of spicy salty bitter and sour all condensed together.

Lee Han concentrated all his concentration to keep his smiling face. And he finished the bowl of porridge.

“It’s really delicious.”

-It’s amazing. I can’t believe humans eat that.

-I can’t believe it.

The giants murmured in amazement.

Other races did not eat the giants’ food well.

Even an explorer who has gone through many hardships and hardships hates the food of giants saying ‘I’d rather cut off my arm and eat it than eat this.’

The giants’ eyes changed slightly favorably. Lee Han breathed a sigh of relief.

‘Somehow I took a step forward.’

It seemed like he had barely regained his lost favor.

Actually if Ikurusha hadn’t taken the cheese this wouldn’t have happened…

Rattling-

“Do you want some?”

As the basilisk’s egg rattled Lee Han scooped up a spoonful of the remaining porridge and poured it over the egg.

Then he saw that the basilisk egg was twitching like crazy.

Clatter rattle rattle rattle rattle!!!

“…You said you wanted to eat…”

I never thought he would hate it so passionately even though he said he wanted to eat it.

After finishing eating one of the giants pulled out a tree that had grown thickly wiped his mouth and called out to Lee Han.

-you. It follows. It guides you.

“ah. yes. thank you.”

The giant took his slow steps. Lee Han looked around and tried to check the location and terrain.

Even after the flood ended and the water receded we had to avoid this area as much as possible.

‘I guess I should write ‘Giantism’ on the map.’

From afar Professor Boladi who was sitting with Ikurusha pointed to something with his finger.

It was a cane.

“…”

Lee Han cursed at the professor and raised his cane again.

If you’re going to do this in the first place just be a giant…

-Here at the ranch. We raise it. sheep.

“Isn’t there a fence?”

-Crush it.

The giant shook his head and answered. Lee Han could immediately understand what was being said.

‘Well with that sound the fence could be easily broken down.’

No matter what kind of fence you build someone as big as a giant will easily break it down.

“Where is the sheep now?”

-…

The giant looked at Lee Han with trembling eyes.

Any other wizard would have been taken aback by the giant’s unpredictable behavior but not Lee Han.

I’ve seen similar eyes somewhere.

If you ask Gainando ‘Where did you put the cake I gave you last time?’…

“I hate eating sheep. “I have no intention of ever eating it.”

The giant looked at Lee Han with happy eyes. A happy smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

-It’s over there. Inside the cave. Lock them up.

There was a huge chunk of rock lying at the entrance of the cave.

The rock was too large to contain a single mountain goat but to Lee Han who heard the sound earlier the rock felt like a piece of paper.

“If I do it like that can’t I come out?”

-It comes out. sometimes. So you have to catch it.

The giant grunted.

He seemed disappointed that the goats did not listen to him.

‘There are things I can do…’

Lee Han followed behind the giant checked the surroundings and checked the daily routine the giants were doing.

1. Caring for goats.

2. Catch the goat if it escapes.

3.Preparing meals etc.

It was very important because helping with these things would allow us to become friends with the giants…

‘no. ‘Can I help you?’

No matter how much I thought about it it wasn’t something Lee Han could help with.

Rather Lee Han was more concerned about having to deal with these giants during the final exam.

He might have to fight a mountain goat a giant or a giant riding a mountain goat.

-I caught it last time too. But I caught it this time too.

“Oh my.”

Lee Han said without much thought to appease the grunting giant.

“I’ll talk to Ikurusha and ask for some snacks.”

I didn’t know if the giant had snacks or if Ikurusha would allow it but Ihan said and looked.

It was because of his habit of soothing Gainando who was whining.

-Really?!

However the giant’s reaction was more violent than expected.

-really?!

“…Uh no. “Please wait just a moment.”

* * *

-okay? Take it.

Ikurusha accepted Lee Han’s request as if it wasn’t that difficult.

I have a hard time trying to become friends with giants but this was enough to help me.

widely-

Lee Han was taken aback when Ikurusha held out a dark club.

“What is this?”

-Dried beef jerky. Everyone likes it because it is made with lots of special spices.

“…thank you.”

Lee Han also learned how to make it from Ikurusha.

Since giants like it I might have to learn how to make it.

‘But not all giants are Gainando so I don’t know how much they can be used as snacks.’

1 hour later.

-Human legs hurt. I listen.

-Get out of my way! I listen!

The giants grabbed each other by the collar and argued over whether they would carry Lee Han on their backs.

Lee Han thought to himself when he saw that.

Becoming friends with giants may not be as difficult as you think!

* * *

“Put in sage water parsley cloves turmeric and geranium… five spoonfuls each… and boil it… grind the meat… hmm… what on earth does this taste like…”

As Lee Han sat at the table deep in thought muttering about ingredients and reagents the other alchemy students glanced at him.

As it was a potion recipe that a senior alchemy student was studying he couldn’t help but be interested.

“what? “What kind of combination is that?”

“Priest Sianna. “Do you know anything?”

“…It’s too dangerous a potion to tell you what it’s used for… Hmm. “Hmm.”

When a question was asked to him Priest Siana slowly changed his stance.

Then the other students were even more surprised.

“Is this a highly toxic potion?”

“The dark magic side?”

“Why are you preparing that Wardanaaz? Is it related to this test? “Do you know the princess?”

“…”

Adenard just blinked in confusion.

Then his friends interpreted it for themselves.

“I guess it’s a dangerous potion after all.”

“I guess they’re doing it because they’re worried that other students might be in danger if they try their own thing.”

“But why is Wodanaz studying that?”

Just then Lee Han closed his book and got up.

The friends asked cautiously.

“Wardanaz. “What are you going to use that for?”

“hmm? “I’m going to feed it to the giants.”

“…!!”

“!!!!”
