Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 152

Fortunately, Yumidhus wasn’t crazy like Professor Voladi.

Professor Voladi would have said to ‘evaporate and get out’ after plunging Lee Han deep into the river, but Eumidhus did not.

In the first place, the purpose of today’s picnic is to open the young wizard’s eyes and make him aware of the vast world of water magic.

There’s no reason to force it that way.

It was enough to experience and experience the various attributes of water magic.

“The order is as follows.”

Eumidhus taught me the spells and movements of the Circle 1 magic < Water Evaporation > in detail.

In fact, < Water Evaporation > was an embarrassing magic to call a 1st circle magic.

Typical trap magic!

Even if magic is located in the same circle, the difficulty varies greatly.

Magic that is much more difficult than the same circle magic is usually called ‘trap magic’.

< Water Evaporation > is located in the 1st circle, but it was a magic of a difficulty that novice wizards could never learn.

As such, the evaporation properties were difficult.

“Would you like to try it?”

After a brief lecture, Eumidhus watched Lee Han.

Water elemental wizards who usually practice evaporation attributes practiced by placing liquids to evaporate in front of them.

At first, he practiced with a liquid like strong liquor that evaporated easily, then gradually increased the strength of his magic by changing to a liquid with a higher boiling point.

However, Eumidhus did not present anything in front of Lee Han.

First of all, it meant to practice the movements and spells to complete the magic.

Eumidihus was not harsh enough to immediately say, ‘Evaporate!’

“……”

Lee Han looked at Eumidhus once more and then at the proudly flowing river.

‘Are you trying to evaporate the river now?’

Because Eumidhus explained too little, Lee Han had no choice but to misunderstand.

In fact, it wasn’t even Eumidhus’ fault.

Usually, when asked to learn magic for the first time, they try to practice movements and spells, but who would try to dry the river right next to them?

If I had to point out the fault, it was Professor Boladi’s fault.

Because of Professor Voladi, Lee Han was misunderstanding Eumidhus.

‘I can’t help it. Let’s do our best. I’ll have to pretend, I won’t drown.’

Lee Han had a hunch about what would happen if he continued to fail in magic.

It was most likely going into the river.

“Evaporate!”

“no…?”

Eumidhus was surprised to see Lee Han casting magic directly at the river with a single stroke without practicing any movements or spells.

Don’t practice…?!

Shih!

Steam rose above the river.

It was a considerable amount of water vapor, if not up to a steam explosion like Eumidhus.

“……”

Eumidhus was astonished.

‘Really… a genius.’

Among the mages of the Empire, the word ‘genius’ was a bit overused.

Dogs and cows used to claim that they were geniuses.

The wizards who came to learn magic from Eumidhus all claimed to be geniuses, except for Voladi Baegrek.

– Mr. Eumidhus. For the future of Imperial magic, you must do your best to teach me magic. I am one of the greatest geniuses among Imperial mages.

– Mr. Eumidhus. It’s embarrassing to tell you, but I’m a magic genius. I mean, you don’t have to teach me all of these magic tricks.

– Mr. Eumidhus. From my point of view with genius magic ability, this magic is not very good magic either. It would be nice to make some more improvements.

Actually, it wasn’t completely wrong.

The wizards who came to Umidhus were outstanding wizards in the empire.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have come in the first place.

However, the eyes of a magician like Eumidius, who had gone through everything from prenatal battles to aerial battles, were strict and harsh.

That level of talent was a must for any wizard who would seriously explore magic, but it was not a treasure to boast of having.

But…

the boy in front of me was definitely different.

I felt an aura that only a real person can have, completely different from the geniuses who claim to be self-professed.

It seemed that he had all the elements that would be evaluated as talented even if he had just one, such as the amount of natural magic power, fine control, and deep and rich thinking.

‘Is it river water? Will it end up going into the river?’

While Eumidihus was quietly admiring, Lee Han was quietly uneasy.

It seemed to be quite successful to Lee Han, but it didn’t matter.

How it looked in the eyes of Eumidhus was important.

Is it also a failure?

‘Isn’t this good enough at first?’

Lee Han wasn’t conceited, but looking at it objectively, his evaporation magic seemed to work quite well.

Compared to other magics, the evaporation attribute was on the side of Lee Han and compatibility.

First of all, Lee Han was able to conceive of the image of ‘evaporation’ itself accurately and concretely…

Above all, it was possible to push < Water Evaporation > with force.

Wizards who did not have as much magical power as Lee Han had to manipulate their magic carefully and in detail to complete the spell, but Lee Han was able to complete the spell by simply pushing with his magical power.

As far as this is concerned, water evaporation is much easier than controlling water beads.

“Good job. That’s great.”

“!”

Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to go into the river.

“Actually, I didn’t mean to evaporate the river water. It’s my first time practicing magic, and a flowing river like that isn’t an appropriate target.”

Both were good, but the flowing river made it several times more difficult to cast magic.

The boy in front of him could have been proud as much as he had accomplished it.

However, instead of doing so, Lee Han put on a firm expression.

‘…what did you just say?’

Come to think of it, Eumidhus didn’t ask for a real-life test right away against the river.

He thought of Professor Voladi and misunderstood it at will.

“But seeing you do it all in one go, I think you know why you cast your magic against the river. It is a reasonable confidence.”

“No… It’s a misunderstanding.”

“okay. I must be mistaken.”

Eumidhus nodded with a benevolent smile on his lips.

“At first, I thought Voladi Bagrek forced it…”

‘That’s right.’

Lee Han said to himself. However, it did not reach Eumidhus’ ears.

“…now that it wasn’t like that.”

It was clear that the disciple had learned too quickly every magic that Baglegg had forcibly granted.

Eumidhus made a vow to himself to undo one misunderstanding about Baegrek.

“Yes…”

Lee Han replied in a voice filled with subtle sadness.

It was because of the sadness that I couldn’t openly curse Professor Voladi.

Lee Han thought that if he graduated later, he might go to Professor Voladi first before the headmaster of the skull.

* * *

Eumidhus did not ask Lee Han to use more magic.

I just saw that I learned it all at once, so why would I do that?

“I think you should eat more than me.”

I took a break instead.

Lee Han prepared a place for Eumidhus to sit down, spread a blanket, and prepared food and drink to offer.

Eumidhus looked at Lee Han with a gaze mixed with calm emotions.

“I didn’t expect to be treated like this.”

“Uh… Haven’t the other disciples ever done something like this?”

“None.”

“…?”

Lee Han, who was puzzled, thought of Professor Voladi.

And I was convinced.

‘I guess that’s enough.’

Lee Han made milk tea with the black tea he stole from Professor Thunderwalk. A sweet drink with plenty of sugar restored the tired brain.

Even if the mana is infinite, it is unavoidable that concentration decreases and mental fatigue occurs when magic is used.

If you were a student at a magic school, it was good to recover from time to time.

It was clear that Professor Wooregeol would be happy that his drink was used this way.

‘Are they third graders?’

Eumidhus took a bite of the sandwich and cast his gaze into the distance.

Looking at the clothes, it was clear that they were the third year students of Ein Lorgard.

I looked around for what I had hidden in the mountain and swung my staff toward the ground. The soil gushed out and the magic materials and reagents contained within came out.

I prepared a lot of things to keep it secret, but I couldn’t fool the eyes of a magician like Eumidhus.

“Can you see it over there?”

“What are you talking about?”

“yes. You won’t see it.”

Eumidhus remembered the Headmaster Skeleton.

As much as he was very sincere in separating the freshmen, it was natural to make them not recognize them as magic.

“Let me release you for a moment. Are you okay?”

As Eumidhus swung his staff, Lee Han could see seniors taking magic materials and reagents far away.

“Can you see now?”

“yes. I see. Is that…?”

“Perhaps you will find out when your grade goes up, but it is also a wizard’s job to find the materials and reagents needed for your studies.”

Eumidhus explained calmly, as if he was not surprised.

Looking around like that and hiding it, it was clear that it had been stolen or stolen.

‘It’s so sad that I have to be like that even in the third grade.’

Lee Han shuddered at the fate that lay in front of him.

Can’t we just give them enough materials and reagents?

“Do you want to go and take it?”

“…yes?”

“I want to see how you fight. You can win.”

“……”

The problem wasn’t whether we could win or not, but the problem was that we had to attack against our seniors.

No matter how much he steals, isn’t a senior a senior?

Lee Han looked at Yumidhus with absurdity, but Yumidhihus didn’t seem to change his mind at all.

“Battle mages grow by eating the blood of their opponents. In real life, the faster you experience it, the more you experience it, the better.”

Lee Han was fed up with Eumidhus, who looked like a benevolent old woman and said bloody things.

It’s just the old Professor Voladi!

“Eumidihus.”

“Don’t say that you can’t. You know for sure that you can do it. Excessive humility is poison. You’ll find out sooner or later, but a wizard doesn’t have to look after you just because he’s a senior.”

“no. It’s not that I can’t… Can I wear a mask?”

“……”

Eumidhus admired sincerely.

* * *

Lee Han did not recklessly attack, believing only the words of Eumidius.

If he was a third year student at Ein Rogard, he must have been someone who had gone through many times the hardships that Lee Han and his friends went through.

If I touched it wrongly, Lee Han could get hit in reverse.

Lee Han put on a mask and cast an invisibility spell. The mask was essential in case the opponent canceled the invisibility magic.

Then, after carefully approaching from behind, he threw magic at the two seniors.

“Ouch!”

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?!”

The two seniors who were surprised were knocked down.

Lee Han immediately packed a box containing materials and reagents. The box had a name engraved on it.

-Osu Gonadaltes When Lee Han

saw that, he was shocked.

‘Aren’t you crazy??’

Will the principal’s storage open in the third year?

No, it was more likely that the principal induced them rather than intentionally stealing them.

In any case, it was unbelievable.

‘Oops. This is not the time.’

Lee Han quickly left his seat.

“Good job.”

Upon seeing Lee Han’s return, Eumidhus was very satisfied.

Bagleg was close to perfect, probably not wasting time.

Accomplish surprise attack first and break away.

It was the core of the magic battle itself.

“Is it written whose belongings it belongs to?”

“Looks like something from the principal’s warehouse.”

“Okay. Then don’t give it back and you’d better keep it.”

“…?!”

Lee Han was surprised.

And he nodded his head gently.

“yes. I will.”

Seeing the disciple who listens well, Yumidhus looked at Lee Han with warm eyes.
