Life of a Magic Academy Mage – 509



Episode 509

It felt like the distance from Delet had grown further. Lee Han called his senior once again.

“Senior?”

“I didn’t know you could practice bone explosion magic…”

Warlocks who specialized in the bone element demonstrated persistent power in many-to-many battles.

Not only strengthening various undead but also direct attack and defense.

Especially when it comes to bone explosions he has now become the warlock that enemies try to suppress first.

Once properly exploded its destructive power was truly enormous.

But if there are advantages there are also disadvantages.

Even excluding the enormous magical power consumption bone explosion magic was a magic that was difficult to use.

If you cast it incorrectly at close range the warlock could fall but if you try to cast it from as far away as possible the difficulty increases exponentially.

As the distance increases the wizard’s interference ability decreases.

The best way was to cause a bone explosion against the summons from the undead world but the summons did not like this kind of self-destruction very much.

However this junior solved such limitations with ancient necromancy and an enormous amount of magical power.

The way he protected himself with a water shield and mercilessly exploded the undead was a sight that even experienced warlocks would find difficult to imitate.

…But do I really have to do this in my first year???

“ah. Professor Mortum told me to practice bone explosion.”

“Um… So I didn’t tell you to practice bone explosions… That’s not it.”

Delet was about to say ‘Practicing bone explosions usually means doing it carefully in the workshop not practicing it in a dungeon’ but held back for the sake of his junior.

“Bone explosion is the magic that causes the most accidents and since you use it in combination with the dark element you have to be even more careful.”

“yes. “I will always have at least one shield and use it to keep the distance as much as possible so that only the summons self-destruct.”

The fact that Direth’s undead summons trembled with fear felt like a connection. Delet appeased the undead summons.

-Rest assured I have no intention of self-destructing like that.

“So you want to combine it with the poison element?”

“yes.”

In fact it was unusual to combine it with a rare and difficult to handle dark element but it was common to combine bone elements with other elements.

The representative element among them is the poison element.

The power of the bone element combined with various poisons boasted bloody power.

“It’s the standard method. “The number of poisons you can use right now may be limited but there is no harm in practicing in advance.”

Delet forgot what he had just thought and naturally started talking about magic again.

“Instead if you want to use the poison element there are a few things to keep in mind. The power of the bone explosion magic must be greatly reduced… Try reducing it. no. It needs to be reduced further. again! Why can’t I reduce the power? “That’s the easiest thing!”

* * *

Direth who wiped out Professor Verdus’ wooden dungeon with his junior returned to the Dark Pavilion.

Professor Mortum who finished the lecture first was putting together the parts of the flesh golem and asked a question when Direth returned.

“Kollock. You came back later than expected. Was there any problem in the Vampire Weasel Dungeon?”

“ah. no. “I went to the wooden dungeon and practiced necromantic magic combined with the dark element.”

“…?”

Professor Mortum thought for a while and asked as if he didn’t understand.

“I just told you to make a curse doll but was there a need to teach it so harshly? Did Wardanaz displease you at all?”

“yes? no! “What… huh?”

Delet was shocked and tried to deny it but when he thought about it it was definitely strange.

uh…

Huh??

‘Why did I do that??’

* * *

Gainando was excited to see Lee Han in a good mood for the first time in a long time.

Usually with a tired face he muttered ‘I wish Einroguard and the professors would hug each other and disappear into that lake’ which surprised Gainando but today he was stirring the ladle in the pot with a bright face.

“Is something happening today?”

“ah. Cainan Island. “I succeeded in controlling several undead.”

“…”

Gainando frowned and looked at Lee Han.

That’s why he didn’t know he would like it that much.

“Manipulating the undead shouldn’t be such a joy…”

“Gainando. “Don’t you know what it means for a warlock to be able to control multiple undead?”

Unlike other wizards who always had to carry a vanguard with them to protect them warlocks who were skilled at summoning the undead had no problems traveling alone.

That means that even if you receive a request you can travel alone without having to share the reward with other adventurers.

“Huh… but it’s lonely.”

“Gainando. “Magic is inherently lonely.”

“And the professor said that if a warlock takes several undead by himself he will be reported.”

“…”

When Gainando poked the painful spot Lee Han paused.

It was a somewhat plausible point.

‘I guess I’ll have to go into the dungeon outside and summon it.’

Even if you summoned an undead and took it with you within Einroguard you would get a reaction like ‘You must be a student of the Black Magic School’ but if you did that outside you would say ‘Aaaah! expenses! There was a high possibility that a reaction like ‘Security!!’ would come out.

“Then will you give me one chocolate?”

“no. “Don’t fill your stomach with snacks before eating.”

Lee Han flatly refused. Guyando grumbled and went to the table and sat down.

Students were already gathered near the long wooden table in front of the Phoenix Tower.

Not only the Phoenix Tower priests but also the Blue Dragon Tower friends and a few students from the Black Turtle Tower and the White Tiger Tower…?

“Why are you here?”

Lee Han asked in confusion.

He said they only ate together during the flood but why when the flood was over?

“after. Wodanaz.”

“?”

A White Tiger Tower student approached with a frown.

And he gave Lee Han a piece of rare Gwangryeong ink as a bribe.

“Please take care of me.”

“…That’s right.”

The White Tiger Tower students narrowed their eyes and sat in their seats. Lee Han was dumbfounded as he put the bribe he received into his pocket.

‘What are they doing?’

“Wardanaz. Please take care of us too.”

“no. You can eat at your tower. “Today’s meal isn’t particularly special.”

“It doesn’t taste good…”

“…”

The voices of the Black Turtle Tower students were filled with sincerity.

So much so that even the cold-hearted Lee Han is overwhelmed.

“Well…yeah. “Sit down.”

What I said earlier wasn’t empty. Dinner tonight was prepared quite simply.

The remaining vegetables and chicken were roughly chopped into a stew and butter toast and the priests caught skewers of bird meat and rice balls and that was all…

Slurp salty!

“hey. “Someone go to White Tiger Tower and put on my shoes.”

“I’ll do it and come back.”

The Blue Dragon Tower students were astonished to see the White Tiger Tower students acting like they were possessed.

Regardless Lee Han focused on eating. He had a lot of work to do after dinner today.

“Wardanaz. Wodanaz.”

“uh. “Nilia.”

Lee Han turned his attention to Nilia’s call.

Just a moment ago she was holding a skewer of grilled new meat in her hand and eating it but Nilia had taken the meat off her and was eating it with a knife and fork.

“Why don’t you eat with her hands?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about? “I used to eat like this?”

Looking to the side I saw that all the Blue Dragon Tower students were using knives and forks.

“Just with your hands…”

“That’s not important now. “Did you hear the rumor?”

“What rumor?”

“The professor is preparing a portal. “So that I can contract with a stronger summon than last time.”

“!”

It was a welcome rumor.

Even if only the most talented people in the empire were gathered the students who were still in their first year had many shortcomings.

The best way to make up for the shortcomings of such students was to be a summons.

“Good. “If only I could contract with a stronger undead…”

“uh? No… it was a story about a spirit…”

Nilia said hesitantly.

It was a rumor that Professor Millais was preparing to find and connect a new spirit world for first-year students taking summoning magic but he had never heard of the undead world.

“They say you won’t open the undead world?”

“I think I only heard about spirits.”

Nilia glanced at Lee Han slightly.

“I guess you will also open the undead world. “You opened it last time.”

“That… right! of course!”

Nilia agreed with Lee Han’s words and prayed earnestly in her heart.

I hope Professor Millais prepares the undead world as well!

* * *

“I recently found a good spirit world that I can contact. “After checking it turned out that students could move around safely.”

Professor Millais said while looking around at the students with an upright posture that did not waver.

Lee Han raised his hand and asked.

“professor. “I have a question.”

“What question?”

“Could it be the undead lineage…?”

“There is no undead world this time.”

“…”

Lee Han’s expression was dejected. Nilia who was next to her fidgeted and whispered.

“You don’t necessarily have to make a contract with the undead right? “You can even make a contract with a spirit!”

“Yeah well… I might find a treasure trove piled up like a mountain of gold along the way and become the richest man in the empire.”

“…”

While Niliah was speechless Professor Millay looked at Lee Han and said.

“Student Lee Han. It is a prejudice to hastily conclude that you cannot make a contract with a spirit. Of course the habits of spirits are generally to avoid beings with a lot of magical power but there are also spirits with unique characteristics.”

Lee Han slightly refreshed by the professor’s words asked again.

“Then if I don’t give up and keep searching the spirit world will I be able to find a good spirit?”

“Sometimes giving up is important. Student Lee Han. Even if you can’t find it you have to know how to give up.”

“…”

“…”

Professor Millay’s honest truth made Lee Han look at Nilia again. Neilia quickly put her head down on her desk and pretended to read her book.

She said “The spirits that can be found in the spirit world are as follows…”

* * *

After completing preparations the students passed through the magic circle to the spirit world one by one and Lee Han’s turn finally came.

Nilia who was behind her asked cautiously.

“Shall we go in together?”

“it’s okay. “If I go with you for no reason I won’t be able to meet you either.”

“…”

Nili Aya was actually worried about that so she couldn’t refute it right away.

She said ‘I was secretly worried that you would say yes when you asked!’

She couldn’t manage her expression. Looking at Nilia she asked ‘What if I accept?’ It was clear that she was worried.

“Go in first. “See you later.”

Lee Han stopped teasing Nilia and took her steps towards her magic circle.

It was a pity that I wasn’t able to achieve any results in the lectures but isn’t it possible to get perfect grades in all lectures?

Of course he would have to study even harder as he would have to make up for the losses from today’s lecture in other lectures but Lee Han had accepted it.

‘I guess I’ll just empty my mind and walk around today.’

Pot!

The feeling of floating and the soul moving to another plane.

The smell of salty sea water came with the open sea and nothing else. It felt like I was alone on a remote island.

‘Sea or water marine type monster?’

The environment was the primary clue given to wizards trying to negotiate with beings from other planes.

Experienced and knowledgeable summoning wizards even guessed the name of the spirit just by looking at the surrounding environment.

with a splash!

A dolphin-like spirit stuck its head out from the water in the distance.

Lee Han greeted cautiously.

“hello. Mr. Dolphin?”

Instead of answering the dolphin went under the water and never came out again.

“…”

Lee Han became bitter.

‘Should I just try to grab it with force?’

In the spirit world there is nothing more dangerous or reckless than competing with spirits by force but it seems better than talking aimlessly like this…

Paaaa-

“?”

After Lee Han stopped the spirit flood the emblem he received from Upinum began to glow.

At the same time the sea in front of his eyes split on both sides like a low tide revealing a sea path.

It was like a signal to come in.

‘The spirit returns the favor!’

Lee Han felt an overwhelming emotion.

As expected even insignificant creatures repay the favor and since he is a spirit as great as Upinum…!

* * *

Professor Millais who was sitting in a chair frowned as he saw the magic circle swirling around.

As it was a magic circle that protected students with complex spells and protection its swaying could not have been a good sign.

‘what?’

When I checked I saw that one of the students was leaving the area protected by the magic circle and entering the outside area.

‘What a strange student.’

Although he has not confirmed who it was yet Professor Millais immediately identified the culprit.
