Life of a Magic Academy Mage – 512



Episode 512

“Why aren’t you helping?”

Lee Han held the morning star and let out the breath he had been holding.

The basilisk wrapped around his wrist scolded his friends with its tail in agreement.

But the friends responded ungratefully.

“You didn’t even have time to help!”

“It would have been too much even if it were you!”

“I think it’s a bit of a waste of time…”

The friends who were angry suddenly became curious and asked.

“But how did you catch it in such a short period of time? ah. “I understand.”

Salko asked then looked at the basilisk with an expression of realization.

“You wrote about this Basilisk problem. Is that right?”

-…

The baby basilisk looked embarrassed and averted his gaze.

Giselle who was next to me sighed and said.

“If it had been a Basilisk issue we would have felt it too. Tutanta. “You don’t know because you’re not a swordsman but look at what Wardanaz is holding.”

Lee Han was holding the morning star.

“I see.”

“okay. “The sword must have been coated with basilisk poison.”

-…

The basilisk just went into Lee Han’s coat.

Lee Han comforted him by patting his tail and began to explain.

“It’s not the Basilisk it’s the power of this sword. “It is a sword made of black magnet so it strongly absorbs magical power.”

The famous sword Morning Star used by anti-magicists displayed even stronger power in certain situations.

Originally the ghost wizard was not an opponent that Lee Han and Aden Arth could defeat so easily…

Unfortunately I made the mistake of getting close and trying to cast a contact spell.

If it had been another fledgling wizard he would have been embarrassed and dropped his wand at the loss of distance but Lee Han pulled out the Morning Star as soon as the opponent broke through the magic and came closer.

The ghost wizard who had never expected that the wizard Lee Han would carry a sword like the Morning Star suffered great damage.

-Kaaaaaaaa…!? Why on earth would a wizard use this sword…!?

“I was lucky.”

“…No really why are you carrying a sword like that?”

The other friends also unconsciously nodded in response to Salko’s question.

Why would a wizard carry around an artifact like that?

That was an item that would not only deplete mana but also have a negative effect on casting various magic.

Why bother carrying it around and practicing magic…!

“Think about it. Salchow. “Do you think there will be a lot of fights with wizards or non-magicians at this school?”

“…”

At first Salko tried to pass it off as nonsense but after thinking about it it seemed plausible.

‘…is that so?’

“Tutanta. I don’t believe you are trying to listen to that bullshit right now. “You wouldn’t be that stupid.”

* * *

Anyway the students who overcame the ordeal waited for a while instead of going up.

pop!

Along with the smoke the reward appeared in front of the students.

“So what did you guys get last time?”

“We got shock-absorbing armor.”

When Anrago answered right away Giselle glared at him as if she were pitiful.

‘If anyone sees it they’ll think it’s the same tower.’

“oh. It’s a good item. “I’ve never seen it before so you haven’t taken it out yet?”

“…I was wearing it underneath when I hit you last time…”

“…”

As the atmosphere became awkward Lee Han quickly changed the topic.

“There’s a reward!”

“Is this compensation?”

Salko frowned at the pitiful sight of the reward.

Surprisingly a piece of paper was the only reward.

Of course it was impossible to judge the value of an item just by its appearance but that was a bit…

“This is a communication artifact.”

Lee Han was the first among his friends to recognize the identity of this artifact.

As I had seen it at the secret base last time I was able to recognize it right away when I felt a similar magic pattern.

“Communication artifact?”

“okay. “If you pour ink here like this…”

When Lee Han held up a piece of paper and wrote ‘Gainan is also an idiot’ the words ‘Gainan too is an idiot’ appeared on other pieces of paper.

It’s the same principle as what I got last time but the difference here is that multiple people can communicate.

“Was there such an artifact?”

“okay. For your information be careful if you pick up an artifact like this at school. “I heard that seniors cheat mercilessly.”

‘How does this bastard know this?’

While his friends were puzzled Lee Han grabbed a wad of paper.

“I was already planning to go out once so next time I go out I’ll sell it and exchange it for silver coins and then give them to you.”

“…”

“…???”

The friends who were listening to Lee Han’s explanation stopped.

Something was strange.

The Tijeeling priest raised his hand and asked cautiously:

“I have a question.”

“what?”

“Why are you selling that??”

Giselle couldn’t resist and intervened to ask a question.

Lee Han asked back as if he truly did not understand.

“What are you going to do if you don’t sell this?”

“…Wodanaz. “I like raising money by selling artifacts but there’s no need to sell this right?”

Salko said in bewilderment.

Why is the reward of this ordeal an artifact that allows us to communicate with each other?

It was clear that the other top students who would normally not be friends should learn a lesson and become closer to each other.

But just selling it is a bit…

“Is that so? “Do you think the price won’t be that much?”

“That’s not what I meant. I think we should use it among ourselves. “Wouldn’t it be easier to contact you if something happens?”

“Salko. What you say makes sense. But other friends would prefer silver coins.”

Lee Han looked at Salko as if he felt sorry.

There wouldn’t be many students who would give up their silver coins to use an artifact to talk about something that could just be met.

“Who wants to share this among us instead of selling it?”

Everyone raised their hands in response to Lee Han’s question. Lee Han was surprised.

He even raised his hand to Aden Arth. When Lee Han looked at Aden Arth he very subtly avoided his gaze.

“really??”

“You can earn silver in other opportunities.”

“Such a careless thought. I know when I can earn it… I get it anyway. “Because it’s a majority decision.”

Although Lee Han was surprised he followed his friends’ decision.

Since it was an ordeal that we all solved together everyone’s opinions were important.

“That’s right. “I don’t think there’s much need for it.”

“…”

“Is this really that useful? “I guess I could just send a paper bird.”

“…”

“And I don’t think we’ll be talking that much…”

“Do something!”

As Lee Han continued talking while handing out pieces of paper one by one the friends eventually exploded.

* * *

When the students walked out safely the skeleton principal grumbled.

The problem is that everyone is unnecessarily friendly.

Originally if they were students in other grades they would have slandered checked and fought each other in this ordeal of cooperation and ended up destroying themselves but these first graders were very close to each other.

What kind of magic can be born in this playhouse-like environment?

“We’re not close!”

“Who is with whom…”

It’s noisy.

Some students tried to strongly deny it but the skeleton principal did not listen.

“Wardanaz doesn’t that guy say that it will be an ordeal if we have to come to an agreement to reduce the number?”

Salko must have felt quite unfair so he brought up a matter that had already been completed.

After hearing that the skeleton principal seemed very interested.

That’s an interesting opinion. Next year’s freshmen should add that ordeal…

“…”

“…”

The friends glared at Salchow. Salchow felt truly guilty.

‘sorry. ‘Juniors.’

Anyway everyone had a hard time trying only one trial like a coward. I hope to participate in this event again next year. Instead of going to the punishment room like a loser participate here like a winner. Do you understand?

“yes…”

“I’m really happy. “I feel motivated.”

okay. That’s how it should be. And Wardanaz you follow me.

Hearing the skeleton principal’s words Lee Han felt his heart sink.

‘what? What magic are you trying to teach me?’

If you calculate it calmly surprisingly the number of magics taught by the Skeleton Headmaster is no less than that of Professor Boladi.

Lee Han quickly calculated and tried to predict what kind of magic the skeleton principal would use.

However unexpected people were waiting at the destination.

Two seniors Phil and Chil who belonged to the healing magic school were sitting with tired faces.

It’s a lot of hardship.

“Oh no. “Principal.”

“It’s an honor just to be recognized that way.”

hey. Bring some more coffee.

The Death Knight bowed her head and she brought out a tin kettle filled with boiling coffee.

The two seniors drank their coffee while making loud noises.

‘Huh?’

Lee Han was puzzled by the friendly skeleton principal he rarely saw.

Is it possible that even the evilest Skeleton Headmaster is a little weak against healing wizards?

Drink and be strong. Still who else would major in healing magic if not you? Don’t even think about quitting. If you’re having a hard time come and talk to me.

“…”

Lee Han was dumbfounded and speechless.

‘What the…’

Now the headmaster of the skeleton was using carrots and sticks to prevent the seniors of the healing magic school from escaping!

“ah. “Junior.”

“here. think.”

The two found Lee Han and shook his hand.

Lee Han bowed lightly and sat in front.

“What’s going on? “The healing magic lecture is not today.”

The skeleton principal glanced outside.

It was already a dark night.

‘Crazy guy.’

Regardless of the date it was crazy to think that this was a lecture.

“ah. “It’s not a lecture.”

“I came for the festival of St. Iactus. “This week.”

‘There are too many festivals in the Empire.’

Lee Han grumbled inwardly.

Perhaps because there were so few things to do the people of the empire celebrated by creating all kinds of festivals.

For large and popular festivals priests from outside came to help…

Even Lee Han had heard of festivals of that size but when they went down to the scale below the names became too unfamiliar to Lee Han who only focused on the imperial newspaper economy.

‘And I’m not the only one who finds this strange.’

Even when Guy Nando asked any of his friends to act as corpses for a detective festival three days ago they all ignored him.

Too many festivals were causing fatigue.

But you can’t vent your dissatisfaction in front of your seniors.

Lee Han answered with a fake smile.

“You mean a festival? “I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Even you?”

“oh my god. “I don’t know why everyone likes this festival.”

The two seniors sighed and complained. Lee Han realized something was going wrong.

That guy deserves to be liked. Unlike you he is a ferocious beast.

“I wish Your Majesty would ban this festival by imperial law.”

“It’s already hard…”

I understand. I understand. The Empire’s bastards are truly barbaric! Yes yes! Still you shouldn’t quit!

The skeleton principal rarely took the students’ side.

Lee Han carefully asked the skeleton principal.

“Principal.”

why?

“What is the festival of St. Iactus?”

…You are more of a barbarian than those carnival-lovers. How do you not know that?

The skeleton principal looked at Lee Han as if he were a barbarian. Of course Lee Han ignored it.

‘Anyway people who like festivals think that their favorite festival is the most important in the empire.’ 

It was truly a pity.

Saint Iactus is a kid who defeated an evil demon dragon with a single stone. The festival celebrates this little guy. Indeed me. When I think about it it’s ridiculous. Shouldn’t we praise the day who put the spell on that rock?

Although the old historical story along with the life of the skeleton principal was interesting Lee Han decided to skip it for now.

“okay. How do you celebrate? Do you make cakes?”

Throw stones.

“To the sacrificial doll?”

To commemorate the festival various large dolls were often made and sacrificed or burned.

no.

“Then at the lake?”

Why throw stones in the lake? What should I do if the spirit gets angry? They’re throwing it at each other.

“…??”
