Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 91

– Believe in Yourself!

Perkuntra spat out an unfamiliar sound that he would never normally do.

In any case, he was a nasty bastard.

Usually other wizards don’t have the ability, but ‘I think you can do it? Spirit, why don’t you say you know what? I’m watching! If you act arrogantly by saying things like ‘I won’t die!’ ‘Are you saying it’s not your business?’

There is a certain degree of humility…

– Trust in oneself comes from an objective analysis of the situation, not just a few words of encouragement.

– Now concentrate and do what I tell you to do!

Perkuntra didn’t respond to Yihan’s words and just said what he had to say. He realized that if he got caught up in it, he would only piss himself off.

-Conjure up the image of lightning as you did with the other elements.

Elemental magic basics.

Recall the image of the element strongly and materialize it in your head.

This process of changing one’s magical properties to suit the elements could be said to be the most basic process.

However, the lightning properties were a little different.

-But don’t think of the thunderbolts from the sky!

“!”

Often, the image of lightning that is easiest for wizards to think of is that of a lightning bolt that flashes and strikes from the sky.

However, it was dangerous to think of such a thunderbolt when converting elements into lightning elements.

In order for a wizard to use magic, it is necessary to control it while maintaining a certain amount of magic in one place, but the image of thunderbolt is located at the exact opposite of such control.

The blazing fire, the standing water, and the frozen ice were able to stay in the same place.

However, the thunderbolt was essentially a being that could not stay.

A phenomenon born from the destiny of scattering in all directions after being struck down from the sky.

If the young magician had rashly conjured up the image of lightning and converted his mana into the lightning attribute, he could lose control right away and cause the lightning to shoot in all directions.

The other day, in the underground punishment room, Ferkuntra, who accidentally touched Lee Han’s flame and almost died together, had to pay special attention to this safety.

Given the magic of this young wizard, even if he caused an accident just once, it was highly likely that it would be a major accident.

-Of course I understand. You might be thinking, how can you draw a picture of lightning without thinking of it? However, the wizards who dealt with numerous lightning properties overcame that limitation and eventually did it! You too will get used to it eventually. A true wizard should be able to change reality to his will, not accept and settle for the given reality! ruler. lend me an arm

Of course, Perkuntra wasn’t the stupid spirit that only spoke reckless stories for no reason, as Lee Han thought.

I admit that Lee Han’s ability is excellent, but it was true that it was very difficult for a young wizard to handle the lightning attribute without any practice.

Of course I had an idea.

Just like he did in the punishment room the other day, he tried to help him control the lightning by nestling himself in Lee Han’s arm.

He lost most of his power and was summoned, but that much was possible.

By the way…

Pajijik!

-I did. Can I lend you an arm now?

-……

Perkuntra was shocked to see the sphere of lightning formed on Yihan’s staff.

Surprisingly, the young wizard succeeded in completing the elemental conversion and maintaining the magic of the lightning attribute before Perkuntra could help.

‘How the hell???’

Contrary to Perkuntra’s astonishment, Lee Han did not feel much difficulty in handling the lightning attribute.

In the first place, Lee Han had a different mindset from other wizards.

Lee Han took a very simple approach.

It didn’t matter that he couldn’t conjure up an image of a thunderbolt.

It was enough to imagine the shape of a sphere made of magic on top of a staff and think of it as a storage battery.

A very natural idea for Lee Han!

It wasn’t difficult to conjure up an image of electricity filling up as if it were being charged in a sphere.

Thanks to the good compatibility of the method, it succeeded right away.

In fact, it even felt much more stable than the other elements…

‘Easier than I said. You make a lot of fuss.’

Lee Han had a thought that was rude.

Come to think of it, from the time we met in the punishment room called Perkuntra, I was on the side of making a lot of fuss.

As for flames…

-You… are quite talented with lightning!

-Is that so?

Lee Han was grave.

After hearing a few praises related to attributes, I started to have doubts.

Isn’t that just polite?

Confidence is an important thing for young wizards, so he might have been saying, ‘You have talent in A-attribute!’

And that boredom was passed on to Perkuntra as well.

Perkuntra was astounded.

It’s really rare for a spirit the size of Ferkuntra to give praise.

-Does my words sound false?! Really talented!

-Yes… Well, it could be.

Lee Han thought that either he had a talent for lightning because he crammed a lot, or that lightning attribute magic was not as difficult as he thought.

It’s probably 99% the latter…

-But when are you coming to Pal?

Lee Han asked as if wondering.

Perkuntra asked to borrow his arm, and he stayed silent.

Any problem?

-wait. nest now!

‘It’s not like he even had forgetfulness.’

If you have bipolar disorder or amnesia, you have to think a little bit about summoning a spirit no matter how capable it is.

While Lee Han was thinking about that, Perkuntra nestled in Lee Han’s arm.

-From now on, focus on the order I am giving you.

Perkuntra tried to pass on her magic to Lee Han.

The magic of the spirits was violent and capricious, but even a new wizard could use it if the mighty spirit Perkuntra lent her an arm.

Perkuntra’s lower thunderbolt.

It was the 2nd circle magic that Perkuntra was trying to pass on to Lee Han.

The principle was simple.

After converting mana into lightning properties, shoot it!

There was no need to give it the shape of a sharp arrow or spear, or put any other complex attributes into it.

Lightning was enough.

-It’s quite big. Is this enough? Isn’t it just to improve your temper?

-Please listen to the spirits older than you! Stop talking back!

Perkuntra shouted half-heartedly.

It was good that he wasn’t arrogant, but this was so humble that it burned Perkuntra’s stomach.

That said, Lee Han did not readily understand. Perkuntra eventually accepted that the only thing logical and reasonable persuasion was to get this damn contractor to obey.

-listen carefully. Lightning is the most destructive and most violent of the elements.

‘Since the spirit of lightning speaks, it sounds a bit different for no reason.’

-Other elements are not easy to use for attack by themselves.

Lee Han also agreed with that.

I had to add a few things to use the water elemental magic for a proper attack right now.

In addition to the property of ‘water’, it was necessary to give properties such as ‘sphere’ or ‘window’ and add ‘manipulation’ to it.

– But lightning is different. It has powerful destructive power by itself.

-By the way, flames…

-You don’t even need to give them a shape! Complex aiming too! Because all you have to do is hit!

Perkuntra cut off Yihan and continued with his own words.

-That summon was originally a normal plant monster, but thanks to the students additionally fusing it with various monsters, it has a very complex attribute. But thanks to that, it made the lightning go through better. Think carefully. Your goal right now is to rescue the students he captured, right? Aren’t you going to kill him?

-It is.

-Then this low-level thunderbolt is enough! The moment he gets hit anywhere, he’ll let go of all the students he’s holding onto. The power of lightning makes enemies recoil! He’s not going to keep fighting you either. I ate my fill of mana, so if I get attacked like that, I’ll run away!

‘That’s convincing.’

Lee Han was persuaded by Perkuntra’s logic. It wasn’t an old spirit for nothing.

< Perkuntra's Lesser Thunderbolt > was similar to the < Lesser Paralysis Curse > that Lee Han knew.

It was like that that it only changed magical powers until it was changed into properties and then it was blown away, and that it had the power to paralyze the opponent.

The only difference is that < Perkuntra's Lesser Thunderbolt > does not give such a gap, unlike curses that have greater physical damage and are easy to avoid or block.

In the current situation, it was very effective.

-All right. I’ll cast it!

-okay! It took a damn long time!

Pretending not to hear Perkuntra, Lee Han swung his staff. and cast an order.

-Come on, Perkuntra’s thunderbolt!

-Well done…

Seeing the condensed magic of the lightning attribute successfully shoot out, Perkuntra tried to praise him.

However, Perkuntra realized something strange belatedly.

The condensed magic power of the lightning attribute in the sphere was too much than expected.

‘…????????!!!’

Perkuntra realized that Lee Han had subconsciously accumulated more mana in the short time he had spent having useless conversations with him.

‘no!!’

* * *

While the Blue Dragon Tower students and the White Tiger Tower students chased the creeper, the Phoenix Tower students and the Black Turtle Tower students acted a little wiser.

He immediately went to find Professor Garcia.

“professor! This way!!”

Fortunately, the students succeeded in finding the walking Professor Garcia.

Next to him, the skeleton headmaster was floating past, and there was also Professor Voladi, but the students did not say a word to the two.

“Come on! I’m in a hurry!”

“Everyone stay calm.”

Professor Garcia swung his cane. Then, the screaming students calmed down in an instant.

At the same time, the ground shook and pushed Professor Garcia away smoothly. Professor Garcia and his students went like a storm.

“Is this right?”

“yes! yes!”

Fortunately, the trail the vine monster had left hadn’t disappeared yet.

In Professor Garcia’s field of vision, a vine monster was caught fighting in the distance.

The White Tiger Tower students surrounded him and swung swords at him, but it wasn’t very effective. Rather, they were being dragged one by one.

Professor Garcia raised his cane. First, I was thinking of giving the vine monster a shot to stop it from moving.

At that moment, a thick bolt of lightning shot out of the air.

Pajijijijik!

The bolts of lightning shot out and hit the vine monster’s torso. Despite the distance, Professor Garcia could feel the strong magic power contained in the thunderbolt. Her hair stood on end.

-■■■■■■…

The vine monster was not at the level of being electrocuted, but burned to black. The students who were held captive began to drop out of rank.

Professor Garcia hurriedly swung his cane to land the falling students safely.

“are you okay?!”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”

Professor Garcia, at the sight of the students trembling, worried that he had absorbed more than the limit of mana for a moment.

As that vine monster is a monster that absorbs mana, young wizards could get seriously injured if they get it wrong.

Priest Tigiling, who had summoned Professor Garcia, looked at his friends with a very worried expression.

Are you okay?

“What a relief!”

A relieved voice came out of Professor Garcia’s mouth, and Tigiling followed suit.

Fortunately, it was in good shape.

“Are you all hurt?”

“yes. Everyone is fine, although I was a little bit electrocuted by lightning.”

“…?”

Tigilling was taken aback.

is that okay?
