Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 182

As the saying goes that the bird that sings the most beautiful song dies the fastest, it happened quite often that a wizard with too much talent had a rather short lifespan.

A wizard without talent is not greedy more than necessary, but a wizard with talent is as greedy as his talent.

The study of magic was like the sun.

The sun burns to death if you get too close.

‘Is there anyone who can tell me?’

Dereth bit her lip.

The evil professors of this magic school were only interested in their field.

When a freshman with great talent appeared, he could only say, ‘You must learn this magic!’, and he didn’t care that the freshman was learning another magic.

Then, by the time the innocent freshman came to his senses, it was already too late.

You will be dragged into a magical hell from which you cannot escape.

‘Even a geek like Professor Garcia can endure something like that…!’

Moreover, since the midterm exam period had just ended, wouldn’t it be better to learn other magic fields during the remaining period?

Someone had to let me know.

just now!

“Junior!”

Diret made up his mind and shouted.

“be careful! You are being tricked by the professors…”

“???”

Lee Han turned his head in confusion at the sudden shout from behind.

Pod!

But when I turned around, no one was there.

“……”

“What was the room just like?”

“I don’t know, but it sounds ominous.”

Lee Han frowned at the faint familiarity of magic in the empty hallway.

‘This looks like the headmaster’s magic…’

No way?

* * *

With the sound of boiling, the color of the potion in the pot slowly began to change to a lead color.

Lee Han carefully put out the light.

Now, only the last step of < Vitality Bone Regeneration Potion > is left.

‘I just need to put in freshly picked thistle flowers.’

“Why am I blue? Why am I blue!”

“This… doesn’t this look leaden? Doesn’t it look leaden?”

Leaving aside the friends who denied reality everywhere, Lee Han exchanged glances with Yoner.

Let’s go pick thistles!

“The exam will be over tomorrow.”

At Lee Han’s words, Yoner nodded.

It felt like weeks had passed, even though it had only been for a week.

To have to do this one more time…

“It was really hard.”

“okay. me too.”

“……”

Yoner had to put up with the words, ‘Didn’t you dig your own grave?’

I would have done it if the opponent was Gainando, but it was Yihan.

He was already a tough enough friend.

“Did you do well on your exams?”

“so so.”

“huh?”

Yihan’s words made Yoner puzzled.

There were several students who studied well during the first year, but Lee Han was overwhelming.

Usually, if you are good at A, you are bad at B, and if you are good at B, you are bad at C…

Lee Han was perfect as if he had no such weakness.

But did you manage to see it?

“Did you make a mistake in black magic? How did your score come out?”

“no. I got a perfect score.”

“Then from summoning magic?”

“no.”

“…Illusion magic?”

“Illusion magic got a perfect score… Um. Come to think of it, I did well. sorry. Yoner. habitually.”

For the first time, Yoner almost got angry at Yihan.

“What is going on?”

Students were gathering and whispering in the place where the thistle field should have been.

Lee Han approached, puzzled.

And then I was astonished.

“…!”

Many of the thistles had disappeared.

“Have you all been picked?”

Lee Han asked as politely as possible.

Of course, just because his attitude was polite didn’t mean that his voice came out kindly.

The students who had gathered in the killing voices flinched and retreated.

“no. Wodanaz. When we arrived, someone had already pulled out!”

“How can I believe that?”

“Think carefully. Wodanaz! You need freshly picked thistles! But what reason would we have to pursue in the first place! We won’t be able to use it either!”

The White Tiger Tower student grabbed the wooden sword and shouted trembling.

Because of what had happened so far, there were already words going around in the White Tiger Tower, ‘When dealing with Wodanaz, go with at least four people’.

I never thought I would face it alone like this…!

“That makes sense.”

Lee Han lowered his cane. The White Tiger Tower student cleared his chest.

‘for a moment.’

“Look out of the way.”

Footprints were scattered around the field of thistles. These were the footprints left by the students who came first.

However, Lee Han paid attention to the footprints inside the flower field. It was a footprint I had seen before.

‘This…’

Lee Han carefully checked and measured the shape of the footprint.

A student at the Black Turtle Tower who saw it asked in surprise.

“Are you distinguishing the footprints that entered the flower field first? how?”

I couldn’t understand how Wodanaz didn’t come from a hunter and knew how to use such a skill.

Then Lee Han asked as if he didn’t understand.

“Isn’t there Nilia in your tower? Why didn’t you learn?”

“…because you’re not a hunter?”

“??”

Lee Han threw a very incomprehensible gaze. The Black Turtle Tower student hadn’t done anything wrong, but he suddenly felt that he had done something wrong.

‘Where did you see those eyes…?’

The Black Turtle Tower student realized it belatedly.

Those were the eyes the professor showed when he looked at him pitifully.

‘why! Why do I have to learn hunter skills…’

“Yoner.”

Lee Han approached Yoner with a serious expression and whispered.

“I know who the culprit is.”

“who is this? A student at the White Tiger Tower?”

“no. Professor Thunderstruck.”

“……”

* * *

Professor Thunderwalker took a well-made bottle of brandy and moved his steps.

The professors from Einrogard who came first were sitting scattered and resting with comfortable faces.

As the midterm exams come to an end, the professors’ minds will be relieved.

“You have suffered a lot. Professor Garcia.”

Professor Wooregeol found Professor Garcia and poured him a glass of brandy.

Among them, Professor Troll, who belongs to the youngest axis, accepted the cup with a shy expression.

“It was nothing.”

“no. No one else suffers as much as Professor Garcia.”

Professor Wooregeol sincerely respected the mixed troll professor in front of him.

While other professors are immersed in their field of magic and Osu Gonadaltes does all sorts of evil whims, a wizard who silently does his job and takes care of his students.

Without Professor Garcia, Einrogard would have become an even more hellish place.

“Professor Thunderstruck is almost finished, right?”

“yes. The students will turn it in tomorrow.”

“It must have been a lot of hardship for the long period of time.”

If it were the Headmaster Skeleton, he would have sarcastically said, ‘Alchemy is something that requires you to give problems and wait while drinking, so isn’t it the study of lazy people?’

However, the kind Professor Garcia always found the positive side.

“Because the students will continue to have to keep an eye on gathering materials and making them.”

“you’re right.”

In fact, as Professor Garcia said, he didn’t pay attention, but Professor Thunderstruck nodded.

There was no need to embarrass yourself by rejecting compliments from others!

And there were other parts that fit.

“Even so, I had to go to the flower garden yesterday to pick up the thistles.”

“yes? Why?”

“It is for the students.”

Professor Wooregeol was a little excited and started to explain.

Freshly picked thistle flowers needed at the end of the < Vitality Bone Regeneration Potion >.

The students knew the location of this flower field.

But what if all these flowers suddenly disappeared?

As it was a tight period, there was no time to find or acquire a new one.

In the end, the students would have to somehow complete the potion without thistles.

“It is possible to complete the potion without thistle flower. The quality will go down, though. It is to overcome that with the wisdom of the students.”

“……”

Professor Garcia’s face blurred.

Should I praise this or not…

‘Can I just ask them to make it without thistles from the beginning?’

Do we really need to shock and confuse students?

“And… indeed. Sounds like a really good way.”

“Thank you. Professor Garcia. It is love for the students.”

Professor Wooregeol sipped the brandy with satisfaction.

However, Professor Wooregeol had forgotten one thing.

A student who robs a professor’s studio once can rob it twice.

“Go to the Gaksu Hall.”

He was tired from taking the exam all day, but Lee Han didn’t worry for a second.

Time was tight as it was due tomorrow morning.

There must have been a thistle flower on the second floor of Professor Thunderwalk’s tower.

“If I call my other friends…”

“I don’t have time for that. Yoner. Besides, it’s dangerous when there are too many of them.”

Lee Han was well aware that this was the second time. It was a high-risk situation.

quietly and quickly.

“…But let’s call Nilia.”

“Good idea.”

Yoner nodded.

It wouldn’t mean much if I later said ‘I didn’t call because it was dangerous’.

“hmm. Let’s call Ratford too.”

“okay.”

“Asando…”

“…wouldn’t it be better to just call them all?”

“okay. That would be better.”

Lee Han gave up and decided to call his friends.

30 minutes later.

Lee Han and his friends gathered in one place wearing dark coats. Yoner suddenly had a question.

‘Does everyone have any objection to stealing at this time?’

Everyone so naturally…

“Let’s go.”

No explanation was needed. Everyone had already put their hands together a few times.

Lee Han took the lead.

It’s not as difficult as the last time I came…

“!”

What caught Lee Han’s eyes was the image of the White Tiger Tower students wearing masks and clumsy movements trying to open the front gate of the Gaksukwan.

‘what?’

At first, Lee Han thought that the other alchemy students had come first.

However, upon closer inspection, they were not students of alchemy.

To prevent Lee Han from securing the thistle flower, he raided the professor’s studio at midnight…

‘…I can’t believe that.’

That was too far out anyway.

“I think I came for another lecture.”

Yoner whispered behind him.

“Another lecture?”

“They are students taking < Basic Dance and Socializing >. In that lecture, there was a rumor that there was a potion that made you dance well in Professor Thunderwalker’s tower…”

“…!”

Lee Han was surprised.

First of all, I was surprised that there were more students than I thought taking a lecture like < Basic Dance and Socializing >, and I was surprised that they were willing to borrow the help of a potion to dance well.

“Should I solve it on my own? By stealing it?”

“I don’t think this is our story.”

Before Yoner could finish his words, another group of students appeared with a rustling sound from the bushes ahead.

They were students of the Black Turtle Tower.

“Are those guys also taking < Basic Dancing and Socializing >?”

“no. I saw them… in < Basic Music >…”

“……”

Lee Han shook his head.

To think that three different groups would meet in front of the workshop in the middle of the night with different goals.

“Apart from stealing, can I take the potion and take the test?”

“I was curious too, so I asked the professor, and he said it was okay.”

“……”
