Life of a Magic Academy Mage – 477



Episode 477

Kettle couldn’t hold back any more and started swearing at her.

Professor Verdus protested his student’s rude behavior.

“How rude!”

“You’re the one who’s rude! “What kind of reward is that?”

“It’s a reward!”

“Strictly speaking it is not compensation…”

When Lee Han muttered next to him Professor Verdus shouted in surprise.

“Isn’t that compensation?! Why!?”

“Uh… um…”

Lee Han wondered how to explain.

It would have been easy for him if he had been a normal person (in fact if he had been he wouldn’t have needed to explain himself) but Professor Verdus is a person that to put it plainly would never be understood.

“Compensation is originally divided into whether the recipient needs it or not. No matter how good the item is if it is useless to the recipient there is no compensation.”

“But everyone likes the opportunity to work in my workshop right?”

Kettle was seen holding the back of his neck and collapsing.

However Lee Han’s innate patience was not shaken by Professor Verdus’ words. Lee Han answered calmly.

“Even if I work in the professor’s workshop it’s not easy to utilize it because I don’t have the skills right now.”

“ah! “I guess so!”

Professor Verdus was immediately convinced.

Well Lee Han was only a little better than the other stupid students but compared to Professor Verdus he was a pitiful student who still had a lot to learn.

Even if you were to lend Professor Verdus’ workbench to such a student it would be difficult for him to use even a hundredth of it.

“I forgot you were stupid.”

“it’s okay.”

Kettle burst into laughter at Professor Verdus’ answer.

Is that what he would say in front of his disciple who came all the way to the underground punishment room to save him?

‘Why do evil people live happier in the world? People like the principal and Professor Verdus live happily but why do good people have to suffer like that?’

Kettle felt heartbroken at the sight of a good first-year junior suffering.

“You can take care of something else.”

“Anything else… Well what can you do if you’re stupid?”

As Professor Verdus was about to lose his mind Kettle hurriedly shouted.

“Seonggak-gwan underground warehouse! “Ask me the key to Seonggak-gwan’s underground warehouse!”

Professor Verdus gave a very blatant look of disapproval. When Lee Han saw that he suddenly became interested.

“Where is it?”

“A place where Professor Verdus’ favorite reagents and materials are collected!! “It’s a place that never opens even when my friend kneels like that and grabs my ankles!!”

“It’s a waste.”

Professor Verdus grumbled as if it was obvious.

Kettle shouted in anger.

I was so scared that Lee Han might just open it.

“hey! If you don’t get the key to that don’t pretend you know me. Don’t even go anywhere and call me your senior! Don’t even tell me that Einroguard came out! “Einroguard doesn’t need a brat like you!!”

‘It’s really unfamiliar to be called a fanatic.’

Lee Han only hung out with his friends but when a senior asked him ‘Why are you such a nice person and such a pushover?’ he felt very awkward.

If he had friends he might have believed his ears.

“sorry. professor. “My senior said I had to get the key.”

“It’s a shame…”

“But as a junior I can’t not listen to what my senior says. Then you can’t open it. “The professor is still trapped here.”

“Still it’s a waste…”

Professor Verdus groaned in pain but Lee Han held firm selling his senior’s name.

In the end Professor Verdus gave in.

“okay. “I’ll give it to you.”

“thank you. “I will write well.”

“for a moment!!”

Kettle shouted again.

Even though he had received the key he felt desperate that he could never leave it alone.

“If you work outside of class hours I promise you that I will let you choose those hours! And if you work separately specify exactly what you will be paid in return!”

“Work is fun so do you need separate pay?”

Kettle ignored Professor Verdus’ question and said what he had to say.

“Did you hear!? Think carefully now! Do you think there will ever be a chance for Professor Verdus to yield and swear!? “How much you take away today will determine your future life as an Einroguard!”

Kettle’s eyes grew red as he remembered some of his friends who had studied under Professor Verdus.

All his good and considerate friends fell away and only a few crazy geniuses could survive under him.

When he thought that this cool new student would end up like that he couldn’t stay still.

“Make me swear unconditionally! Even with a knife pointed at your throat!”

“sorry. professor. “My senior told me to swear.”

“Why is he doing that?”

Professor Verdus grumbled.

I couldn’t understand why these oaths and contracts were necessary.

Einrogard’s school of bestowal magic is doing well simply because of their passion for magic and respect for each other.

“I swear that from now on when I ask my disciple Yihan of the Wardanaz family to do work I will give him a choice first…”

Professor Verdus who was swearing looked at Lee Han and asked.

“But it doesn’t mean anything does it? “You like working.”

“That’s right. professor. Actually it doesn’t mean anything. I just swear to satisfy my senior. Even if I had the choice would I refuse? haha.”

Lee Han said inwardly thanking Kettle.

Thanks to that senior who was locked in the punishment room Lee Han was getting rid of everything he wanted one by one without even touching him.

“…If I am asked to do something I will pay the appropriate salary… I will negotiate the salary before ordering it and it will be done by my student not me…”

Kettle took out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes. Lee Han asked in confusion.

“Are you crying?”

“You were mistaken because the air was damp due to the spirit flood!”

“What nonsense…”

“Focus on your oath! Don’t miss a word of what Professor Verdus says! And don’t trust the professor!”

“Hmm.”

Lee Han felt sorry.

If it weren’t for Professor Verdus’ ears I wanted to say ‘Sir would I believe you’re crazy?’

However since it was in front of Professor Verdus Lee Han had no choice but to act like a good student.

“The professor probably didn’t have any bad intentions…”

“Kuk keuk keuk.”

Kettle almost collapsed again.

* * *

Still thanks to Kettle Lee Han was able to make a few more oaths.

After finalizing his oath not to visit without permission during his vacation Lee Han looked at Kettle with eyes dripping with respect.

‘After all you’re not a senior for nothing!’

Kettle was my first time meeting an Einrogard graduate but I never thought I would feel so reassured.

Lee Han now seemed to understand why Einrogard was considered the best educational institution in the empire.

“Huff… gasp. Okay… go now. “Never trust a professor.”

Kettle gestured with his weary face.

“Can’t we help you escape too?”

“I can’t. “Professor Verdus at best you were caught stealing from the principal…”

“I said I didn’t steal it!”

Professor Verdus ran around protesting but Kettle ignored him.

“…I was caught while having an accident outside. Even if you escape they will immediately come after you. And if you get caught…”

Kettle trembled.

He didn’t say anything but his actions showed how scared he was.

“Shall we tell the principal?”

“You’re good at telling jokes.”

Kettle chuckled.

The joke told by a first-year junior was more gutsy and funnier than I expected.

I can’t believe you made a joke like that against a sky-like skeleton principal.

“While we’re talking please tell me to improve the environment inside.”

“yes. All right. More senior than that. “I brought the dinner that I promised outside.”

Lee Han opened his backpack and began to take out the groceries from inside.

He brought plenty of preserved food such as canned beef and canned fruit and convenience items such as sugar tea leaves and coffee powder so that he could eat in his cell.

“This is bread I baked this morning so you’d better eat it right away. “I also brought some honey.”

“…Where did you turn?!”

Kettle asked back in surprise.

No matter how much I thought about it these were not items that a first year student could obtain.

If they had gotten something like that they wouldn’t have had enough to eat but they brought it here.

Even if you’re nice isn’t this too harsh?

“hey. What will your friends say if you give me something like this! Just take it back.”

“yes? “It’s okay because we have enough anyway.”

“…???”

Kettle was confused.

Plenty?

‘I don’t think you’re lying but what is it?’

It made me wonder if a group of first-year students had robbed the kitchen.

But even if it were it wouldn’t be to this extent…

“Senior. Please let me know that you left it at the school as you promised.”

“ah. “It was like that.”

Kettle who was confused came to his senses.

When I thought about it this junior was someone who had been in contact with Kettle since the character education lecture.

At that time he never thought that he would break through to this punishment room and make the deal successful…

“You’re such a thorough guy why on earth do you believe that? “I said you can’t trust the professor.”

“haha. “But you are a professor.”

Behind him Professor Verdus nodded his head in agreement.

Kettle sighed briefly.

No one can be perfect.

Although this junior had great magical talent he also had a very fatal weakness in Einroguard.

To trust a professor like that…

“Take this. This is the location of the room me and my friends used. “There will be something useful left.”

Lee Han bowed his head and accepted the map that Kettle held out.

It was a worthwhile reward for coming this far.

“thank you!”

“I should be the one to thank you. Thank you for Sasik. Eat well. “I need to stay here for a while longer…”

Kettle took a bite looked at Lee Han and spoke.

“Don’t be like me.”

“All right. “I will be careful when using magic outside.”

“no. You can use magic outside to cause trouble but don’t get caught. “I was caught.”

“…”

‘I don’t think you reflected on it…’

Lee Han thought to himself. Professor Verdus who was listening next to me said.

“I need to transform.”

“yes?”

“I need to transform. You promised. “If you come to rescue me I will be a goat for a week.”

“…”

Kettle cast his spell while spitting out Professor Verdus’ curse in his head.

pop!

“Then we’ll go!”

Meeee-!

‘When the principal comes I’ll definitely blame it on that guy!’

The goat Ani Kettle glared at the back of Professor Verdus as he left burning with revenge.

If the skeleton principal comes and asks ‘Why is the punishment room like this?’ he will definitely say ‘It’s because of Professor Verdus!’ I was thinking of shouting ‘Meeee!’

“Everyone. “The flood is over.”

Ah… then release me…

When Lee Han returned to the library and declared with a tired face all the students were surprised.

“No way…!”

“Wardanaz you solved it?!”

“hey. Don’t you remember what Wardanaz said last time? “You kept telling me not to get involved with you.”

Angago scolded the Black Turtle Tower student.

“I did solve this problem.”

“…”

Angago glared at Lee Han.

This bastard said the other day ‘Do you think I solved all of Einrogard’s problems? He kept berating me by telling me to ‘don’t get involved’!

“How did you solve it!?”

Don’t you think you can release me and talk about the wizards…

“for a moment!”

Salko looked around.

Then he made an expression of admiration as if he understood.

“I respect you. Wardanaz. “You sacrificed the prince?”

“No.”

“It may have been a heartbreaking choice but it was an unavoidable sacrifice. “It will be okay soon.”

“I didn’t offer it.”

Release it… Even if you release it and talk about it…

“okay. If you say that respect…”

Gainando who came back from secretly eating a snack glared at Salco.

Who should I sacrifice?

“no!?”

“Why are you surprised? what?”

“Then who did you sacrifice…?”

Lee Han spoke in a voice filled with fatigue.

“I just hit it with a straight attack. “I went to the spirits and persuaded them.”

grass…

Tanju who was about to complain to be released shut his mouth in disgust at Lee Han’s words.

What kind of wizard is this crazy!?
