Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Episode 739

‘No matter how much transformation magic is used, animals that are familiar with it have an advantage…’

Among transformation magic, magic that transforms the wizard himself into another living creature was particularly difficult and difficult to control.

Since it requires only changing the form of the body while maintaining the identity of one’s soul, the level of difficulty is bound to be higher compared to other magic.

As such, transformation magic was easy to connect with animals that wizards were familiar with.

It was a common occurrence in transformation magic training for a wizard who grew up caring for sheep on a ranch to try to transform into a shark and then transform into a sheep with fins.

It was possible for the boy from the Wardanaz family to turn into a basilisk as he continued to care for the baby basilisk.

But…

‘A basilisk is not some kind of earthworm-like animal!’

Regardless of the wizard’s own familiarity, the more powerful the monster, the more difficult the transformation becomes.

When a monster exerts great power, it means that it is condensing an enormous amount of magical energy into its body.

No matter how much of a wizard he was, it was very difficult to embody such a body in the same way.

However, even though Wodanaz had just started using transformation magic, he was changing one of his arms into a basilisk’s head.

I had no idea how far it would be possible once I got used to it.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to be a basilisk. Wodanaz.”

“yes? Actually, I thought so too. “It’s very uncomfortable because I can’t control it.”

“Don’t say you’re full!!!”

Professor Bendozol couldn’t stand it anymore, so he shouted and walked away.

The students were embarrassed by that and started whispering.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Professor, you probably wanted to turn into a basilisk too. “What do you know?”

“that’s right. Wardanaz. “Ignore it.”

“……”

Lee Han looked at his friends coldly ignoring Professor Bendozol and wondered if it was okay to do this.

I think I adapted too quickly…

‘Once this is over, it’s the weekend.’

It was the first week of the semester, which felt like an eternity.

It’s like this even though the lecture hasn’t even started in earnest.

Once the lectures started flowing, I was afraid that the semester would last forever.

‘Isn’t there a time spell inside Einroguard?’

The lecture < Elemental Magic and Its Applications > was held in the elemental room on the 4th floor of the main building.

As you can guess just by looking at the name, this is a lecture that explores the advanced stages of elemental magic.

Although Lee Han is not usually an overconfident person, he was slightly confident during this lecture.

‘That’s what happened under Professor Boladi.’

There is probably no one who has come to terms with the control of basic elements as thoroughly as Lee Han.

Even if you are a senior, wouldn’t you be behind in this part?

“hello. Wodanaz.”

“Princess.”

Lee Han, who found Gainando’s sister, greeted her lightly.

When I first met him, I was worried that we might get into a fight and my life would turn into a mess after graduation, but after spending more than a year with him, I realized that he wasn’t such a bad person.

Like Gai Nando, he is a person who loves to eat.

Adenard was also happy to see the boy from the Wardanaz family, not even dreaming that he was thinking crazy rude thoughts inside.

Unlike other followers who treated him rigidly and formally, Lee Han was a much easier person to deal with.

When I first met him, I slightly misunderstood because he said I would only take easy lectures, but after spending over a year with him, I realized that I was completely mistaken.

The boy in front of me was even more crazy about magic than the princess herself.

I didn’t easily admit that I was being pushed out by someone in terms of sincerity or responsibility, but I had no choice but to admit this.

It was already impossible to predict the future of the current second-year students, but everyone unanimously agreed on the boy from the Wardanaz family.

‘I’ll still be in Einrogard.’

Lee Han said, not even dreaming that the princess was thinking crazy rude thoughts inside.

“You’re lucky. Is < Elemental Magic and Its Applications > a second-year course?”

“no. “This is a third-year lecture.”

“……”

Lee Han became sullen.

From the looks of it, Adenart had also been forcibly taken to a lecture a grade higher.

“The princess is having a hard time too.”

“yes? “What is that…?”

“Aren’t you angry about having to take a third-year lecture?”

“I consider it an honor.”

“……”

Only then did Lee Han think it was a mistake.

Come to think of it, Ardenart probably won’t be taking many third-year lectures.

At most, you’ll hear one or two!

‘no. ‘Wouldn’t you be angry if you heard one or two?’

Lee Han looked at Aden Arth sadly.

Of course I should be angry, but I never thought I would consider it an honor.

“The princess. When you’re angry, you should be angry.”

“I don’t understand…”

Adenart was embarrassed because he didn’t know what Lee Han meant.

Meanwhile, a senior walked ahead of the two and tried to open the door to Won Soo’s room.

About 1/4 of the senior’s body was cursed with petrification, so there was a sound of stones hitting each time he moved.

“……”

“……”

“Okay. Can you help me? That’s right.”

“yes.”

Lee Han quickly opened the door at the sound of his senior’s voice hitting the stone. The senior nodded his head as if he was grateful (actually, he couldn’t nod, he just pretended).

“!”

The Element Room was a strange place where dozens of environments coexisted simultaneously.

In a space the size of an empty lot, the power of numerous elements was contained, causing countless changes.

Behind the lizard beastman, there is lava and flames, at the feet of the human next to him, a stream and a waterfall, and in the corner of the room where everyone is keeping their distance, there is thunder and lightning… A strange place that is hard to find even in Einrogard, which is full of all kinds of strange places

. Lee Han and Ardenart were surprised at the sight.

“Have you broken the curse yet?”

“Okay. They say it takes some time. That’s right.”

“I told you not to open the relics without permission.”

“Okay. I understand. That’s right.”

“Professor Benmalfa, right? “I find him a bit annoying.”

“I feel uncomfortable too.”

“no way. Still better than other people.”

“?”

Lee Han concentrated and listened to the conversations of his seniors.

If you want to survive safely in the dangerous Einroguard, you must always listen to this information.

‘Professor Benmalfa?’

Lee Han was a professor I didn’t know.

In fact, unless the professors at Einrogard were as friendly as Professor Garcia, it was rare for the average student to meet them.

If the professor was teaching a course that had nothing to do with you, there were cases where you couldn’t meet him at all until you graduated…

‘I don’t know what kind of personality you have.’

“Seniors. hello.”

“oh. “You’re a second year?!”

“Isn’t it amazing that a second grader is taking this lecture?”

The seniors were happy to see Lee Han and Aden Arth.

And the Blue Dragon Tower seniors immediately started bragging.

“Did you see it? This is tradition and lineage…”

“Why are you, who was born with that tradition and lineage, not listening to it in second grade and are listening to it now?”

When an argument began between the seniors, Lee Han quietly asked a question instead of stopping him.

“Seniors. “What kind of lecture is this?”

“hmm? “It is a lecture as the name suggests.”

The Empire’s magic school was close to what the current Empire wizards categorized for convenience.

Long ago, during the time of the Three Kingdoms, schools of magic were divided by element, but the current Empire wizards considered such classification to be quite inefficient.

Even if it is the same fire element type magic, it is divided into various principles such as enchantment, summoning, illusion, and transformation, so it was judged that it is more reasonable to classify it in a different way.

As such, when Einrogard students studied elemental magic, unless there was a special reason, they did not try to specialize in just one element and master everything within it.

Rather, it was common to learn the elemental magic and its applications as needed according to one’s own purpose and magic research.

< Elemental Magic and Its Applications > was also a lecture that helped with that purpose.

The fact that numerous types of elemental energy flow in the elemental room allows students to freely expand their ideas by handling various things flexibly rather than sticking to just one thing.

‘no. ‘You look so fine?’

As Lee Han, who had been constantly attacked for learning one elemental application last year, he sounded so normal that he was embarrassed.

“Senior, then, for what purpose…?”

“I applied because I needed to practice linking the water element and the earth element. “I’m researching something right now, but since I lack control over the elements, I keep failing along the way.”

“If it’s the water element… are you talking about controlling multiple water beads, instantly changing the shape of the water, or giving the water additional properties like rotation?”

“…I don’t plan on digging that deep…”

The senior was taken aback by Lee Han’s words.

I was planning to just lightly learn a few things I needed to research the change in the form of the water element…

“But won’t I need it someday?”

“I don’t think it’s necessary unless you’re just killing monsters with just one water element.”

“……”

Lee Han’s expression darkened at his senior’s words.

It occurred to me that the lecture I took last year might have been a bit more useless than I thought.

From what I heard, the seniors were learning only that part according to their needs rather than focusing frantically on one element.

…Isn’t this correct?

‘…no. Going deep isn’t a bad thing. It will definitely be helpful when dealing with other elements.’

If it wasn’t for help, Lee Han might have grabbed Professor Boladi by the collar.

“Junior. “Why did you sign up for the lecture?”

“Hmm…”

Lee Han was worried because ‘Artifact ordered me to do it’ didn’t seem like a good answer.

Meanwhile, Adenart answered first.

“I applied to control rare elements and strengthen them overall.”

“ah. So do i. “I also have general attributes.”

Lee Han thought it was a good answer and quickly accepted it.

Lee Han was actually a unique case in that he handled elements with rare properties, such as darkness, lightning, and cold, much more than common elements.

Thanks to this, Flame was still nervous every time he used it… Based

on the two juniors’ answers, the senior wondered if Aden Arth had better grades than Lee Han.

In the case of Lee Han, it was clear that there were still many shortcomings, seeing as he said that general elements also needed to be strengthened.

“Everyone, take your seats!”

A professor from the Benmalfa family came in with an energetic and powerful voice.

The professor, a human, had a stylish chevron-shaped mustache, and with his unique gentlemanly attire, he looked like the chairman of an active meeting at an imperial social club.

Lee Han was puzzled because it was rare to see him like that among the many professors at Einrogard who dressed up in random fashion.

‘Is that why your seniors felt uncomfortable?’

“nice to meet. Gentlemen! My name is Jorgic of the Benmalpa family. “He will be the next principal of Einrogard!”

“?!”

While Lee Han and Adenart were surprised, several seniors who saw Professor Djorjic for the first time asked in surprise.

“Are you the principal’s successor?!”

“no!”

“…You said you were the next principal, right?”

“You can become the next principal even if you are not the successor, gentlemen! One day, by order of His Majesty the Emperor, I will become the headmaster of Einrogarde in place of His Excellency Gonadaltes!”

“……”

“……”

It was only then that Lee Han realized why some of his seniors were uncomfortable with Professor Djorjic after seeing the professor predicting a coup with his ambitious eyes and voice.

And then I thought to myself.

‘He’s even crazier than Professor Verdus.’

He was someone you should never get close to.
