Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 045

The mental attitude of a real professional thief is different from that of ordinary people.

The principal and professors came and inspected the site, and in the meantime, picking locks and taking out items.

Glass flasks contained multicolored potions. Lee Han could feel the complex and diverse magic emanating from it.

“By the way, what kind of potion is this…?”

“I do not know?”

“…That’s right.”

Come to think of it, Ratford was a pro thief, not a pro alchemist.

I picked it up in moderation, I didn’t take care of it after looking for something.

‘I don’t know a thing either.’

Lee Han was also a person who read various books and studied prior studies when he was in the Wodanaz family, but it was unreasonable to find out his identity just by looking at an unmarked potion.

“Yoner. Do you understand?”

“This is…”

Yoner picked up a flask and looked at it thoughtfully.

“Is it like alcohol?”

“…Nonsense.”

“It’s like wine.”

Yoner carefully opened the cork lid, smelled the scent, and nodded.

“Yes, wine.”

“……”

“But the other things seem to be magic potions, right? I guess I’ll have to go to the library to find out what it is, but…”

“That’s fortunate.”

Ratford wasn’t surprised to see the Wardanaz and Meikins talking casually about the stolen potion.

You shouldn’t arrogantly question what your superiors are doing.

‘The bowl is wide enough to use stolen potions.’

“thanks. Ratford. I will write well.”

“no. It is an honor to dedicate it. Call me whenever you need me.”

“Don’t be so rigid… Oh. Would you like to take care of the horse?”

As he came to the stable early in the morning, it seemed like it would be good for Ratford to get acquainted with the horses.

At Lee Han’s suggestion, Ratford bowed his head.

“yes. It is an honour.”

“Stop the glory.”

“Kwangyoung…”

“Stop it.”

“yep.”

Fluff-

“?”

There was the sound of someone dropping something from behind. Lee Han turned his head.

Nilia was wearing a shocked expression. “…

you made a

new friend…

* * *

“What? Was it like that? I’ll tell you. I’m not the kind of person who would misunderstand that.”

“……”

“……”

Lee Han and Yoner exchanged meaningful glances.

‘Didn’t I just try to misunderstand you?’

‘I was obviously trying to misunderstand.’

Fortunately, the absurd misunderstanding that he was trying to make Ratford a friend from the new Black Turtle Tower instead of Nilia was cleared up.

Ratford said with a serious expression.

“I am not a friend, but a subordinate.”

“Oops. Your hand slipped.”

Lee Han covered Ratford’s mouth with a brush that groomed the horse.

“ruler. Let’s take care of the horses together.”

Inside the stable were a few more students who had come to get acquainted with the horses.

The professor of lightning stride said, ‘Be friendly with the horses’, but not many students were sincere enough to wake up early in the morning and come.

And the horses were relentless even to such diligent students.

“evil! Stop spitting it out!”

“Listen! Why are you doing this! What are you complaining about!”

The horses headbutt, spit, purr, and try to bite the hands of the students.

However, Lee Han was not surprised.

‘In the first place, there are no lab animals that listen well.’

The words were harsh, of course, but this wasn’t the worst.

There is no such thing as sneaking away or throwing one’s own shit.

“ruler. Let me brush your hair.”

– Fuheung!

The white horse entrusted by Professor Lightning Gad glared at Lee Han.

The moment I approached, the intention to hit one was very blatant.

However, Lee Han approached without hesitation.

Hiss!

The white horse attempted to headbutt. As if he knew it would happen, Lee Han leaned back and avoided it.

The white horse’s eyes widened. It seemed that Lee Han did not know how to avoid it.

Wow!

The white horse spat this time. Lee Han avoided it as if he knew it would happen.

“Yes, yes. not nice.”

Wow!

The white horse tried to bite, but Lee Han stepped aside and approached the white horse.

Still, the white horse did not give up. Even though I couldn’t kick because my legs were tied, I tried every fucking thing I could.

Lee Han evaded, blocked, and endured such an attack.

Nilia, who was watching from behind, could only admire.

‘How can you put up with it like that?’

If it was Nilia, she would have already been cursed or whipped.

However, instead of getting angry, Lee Han continued to calm him down by saying, “Yes, yes.”

Is that the dignity of a nobleman??

* * *

-Purse…

The white horse, which ran rampant for a while, bowed its head, perhaps tired.

Only then was Lee Han able to pick up a brush and brush the white horse’s hair.

The white horse glared at Lee Han while being brushed. Once his physical strength was restored, he showed a willingness to run rampage again.

‘Isn’t this word really mixed with the blood of another monster?’

Lee Han was puzzled when he saw the exceptionally tenacious white horse.

I don’t think the other horses are this strong…

but they growl!

“All right.”

After wrestling for a long time, Yoner walked out with a muddy face and a clear face.

Neliana Ratford was also in pretty rough shape.

“I’m starting to listen.”

“I think I’ve gotten pretty close too.”

At the words of the two, Lee Han turned his head and looked at the white horse.

The white horse jerked its head as if nothing had happened.

Originally, a young student would have been angered or given up on the rebelliousness of this persistent horse…

‘Well, I’ll give up someday.’

Lee Han’s heart was calm like a lake.

No matter how much the white horse sucks, is it worse than the professor?

Lee Han just let go of his emotions and did what he had to do.

After combing, Lee Han mixed the fodder and put it in front of the white horse. The white horse stared at Lee Han while munching.

It was as if he was saying, “Don’t even think about moving on with this.”

“I’m thinking of taking him for a walk now.”

Nilia said as she brushed off the mud.

Originally, when taking care of horses, walking was essential. Horses need to go out for a walk regularly to keep them healthy.

And from the point of view of getting closer, the walk was helpful.

If they continued to walk together, no matter how fussy the beast was, he could not help but open his heart.

‘Mmm.’

However, Lee Han doubted whether the white horse would calmly follow him.

Even now, they keep attacking, but if I go out for a walk in a wide space, won’t they try a much more diverse attack?

“Hmm…”

Lee Han looked down at the iron bracelet and belt he was wearing, then at the white horse again.

In those eyes, the white horse somehow felt an ominous feeling.

* * *

“I’m here!”

“……”

Thunderstruck opened the door while managing his expression.

A lightning step outside the door came into the cabin with a tin cup.

“Make some tea!”

“You don’t even like the tea I was in…”

“It’s okay because I’ll hold back and drink it!”

“……”

Thunderstruck boiled the kettle with a sad expression. I didn’t know that Lee Han’s absence would be so sad.

“The freshmen are working hard to take care of the stable.”

Lightning Walk said, gulping down the hot tea.

If there was a talent that could be applied to both alchemy and training, it was sincerity.

In the < Basic Riding Training > class, there was one reason why I purposely collected dirty horses and told them to be friendly.

To teach new students sincerity.

There are many conditions to become friendly with unfamiliar animals, but the most important of those conditions is sincerity.

If you are not sincere, you cannot make friends with any animals.

“I deliberately made the horses’ temper dirty, but if you put in your sincerity and care for them, they will soon calm down and relax. However, those who try to tame them by whipping them with force instead of taking care of them will have a very harsh taste.”

Students’ reactions to this task were divided into two.

Students who sincerely want to be friendly with me and horses from the morning.

And the students, who, in their presumptuous habit, try to subdue the horse with spurs and whips.

The horses prepared by the lightning stride were words that could never be overpowered in such a way.

Insincere students will get a stinging taste.

“Kha-ha-ha-ha!”

“……”

Lightning Walk laughed heartily and put down the glass, and Thunder Walk shook his head.

‘Because he likes bullying students.’

Thunderstep could not imagine that he was being treated as a person similar to Lightning Step by Lee Han.

I’m different!

“Is Wodanaz doing well?”

“ah. Wodanaz. He’s a sincere guy, so he’ll do well. Of course, Griffin is a bit tricky. With sincerity, cleverness, and a little luck, you can get close enough.”

“?”

Thunderstep followed the car and raised his head.

What did you say?

“What did you just say?”

“what?”

“Did you just say… what was that?”

“I must have heard it wrong. said.”

“……”

Thunderwalker looked at Lightningwalker with a face mixed with shock and fear.

Could it be that the gryphon was transformed into a horse…?

“Isn’t it?”

“what?”

“……”

‘No. Let’s calm down. It could just be that the horse’s name is Griffon.’

Thunderstep regained his cool.

griffon.

A flying monster with the head and wings of an eagle and the claws and legs of a lion.

He had an arrogant and demanding personality, and he was a violent guy who was extremely obsessed with his master.

Depending on where you live, your personality and habits may vary, but one thing is certain.

It’s not something a freshman can tame!!

“What’s your horse’s name?”

“That’s… phone league.”

“…Aren’t you really crazy!??!”

Eventually, the unbearable thunderous step exploded.

What kind of crazy thing would you do to an alchemy apprentice who had been walking half a day due to an injury?

“Did this nephew turn around! Why are you making a fuss after drinking well!”

“However, you turn a griffon into a horse!?”

“When did I do that! Do you have proof? And even if he transforms, wouldn’t it be safe if he transforms into a horse!”

“What kind of slime does the griffon intelligence look like!?”

There was a lot of noise in the cabin: glasses breaking, chairs flying, tables crashing.

It was a common dwarven family quarrel.

* * *

-Puhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

“Guy.”

Lee Han looked at the white horse with a happy expression.

The white horse was docile and well-behaved, as if it was a lie that had been so damned earlier.

To be precise, Lee Han made it that way.

He filled the horse with the iron bracelet of magic absorption and the belt of magic absorption that he had.

“also. Absorbing mana makes it a little more docile.”

Since all creatures are born with some degree of magical power, when the magical energy is absorbed, the energy is inevitably drained.

The white horse, equipped instead of all the items Lee Han was wearing, was exhausted and couldn’t even afford to resist.

“okay. Let’s be friends from now on.”

-Puh-heung…

The white horse was quietly led as Lee Han pulled the reins.

Seeing that scene, Lee Han suddenly remembered something.

‘By the way, isn’t the horse’s magical power more than expected if it can walk even with the bracelet and belt on?’

Either the absorption of the bracelet or the belt is low, or the horse’s horse power is high.

‘Even if the blood of a real monster was mixed, the amount of magical power wouldn’t be that great. Does the equipment take less horse power than I thought?’

Lee Han walked away with his horse, lost in thought.

A few students in front of us were weeping and praying after they hadtily got on their horses.

-Get it down!! Please! I was wrong!

‘Is there no way to increase the amount of magical energy absorbed?’

It was a daily life at magic school that I had become accustomed to casually by now.
