Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 157

Pak!

Despite the advice, Cainando collapsed. It seemed that he passed out after being attacked by a monster.

‘I didn’t notice at all.’

No matter how dark the surroundings were, I would never have noticed while approaching this close.

It was clear that he had the ability to hide his presence from others.

“Light!”

Lee Han floated a sphere of light around him and at the same time made himself transparent.

“Fever, distort the air!”

It didn’t end there.

Fantasy took the place where Lee Han became transparent.

“Sharkan. When the enemy approaches, attack!”

Sharkan jumped out with a gurgling sound. Sharkan barked ferociously into the darkness.

‘That way!’

Lee Han immediately launched another sphere of light. The thick darkness was quickly pushed back.

Then the outline of the opponent was revealed. It was a monster that seemed to have been made by combining shadows like clay.

The shadow monster was startled when the light came in and widened the distance. As it penetrated into the darkness, the outline disappeared in an instant and the figure was hidden.

‘I don’t think it’s a normal monster.’

Lee Han was lost in thought as he glared in the direction where the shadow monster had disappeared.

Unlike normal living monsters, that shadow monster didn’t feel alive at all. It was as if someone had artificially summoned it.

And this is a magic school.

It was a problem because there were too many people to summon such a guy.

‘First of all, subdue!’

“Burn up!”

A spark ignited through the darkness. Lee Han, who noticed the opponent’s attributes, decided to suppress them more aggressively.

Anyone who fears the light will fear flames as well.

Roaring!

As the flames rose in the air, the shadow monster easily spread the distance as if mocking.

The panic when he suddenly faced the light had disappeared and he had already regained his composure.

It was light and flame, and even if I summoned it, it was now midnight.

There was plenty of darkness around to hide.

However, the shadow monster underestimated Lee Han too much.

“Burn up.”

-?

“It burns, it burns, it burns, it burns…”

-!

When the shadow monster first opened the distance, it should have run away immediately instead of hovering around like an aggression.

Lee Han instantly summoned dozens of flames around him.

Roaring!

A fire net completed quickly.

The Shadow Monster was surrounded by flames burning everywhere before it could even run away.

A massive offensive with overwhelming magical power that doesn’t even give monsters a chance to use things like evasion or stealth!

The shadow monster, who had become unable to move in the remaining darkness, held his breath as he watched.

Sharkan groaned as if to come out.

“I got it.”

The shadow monster did not dare to come out of the darkness.

Instead, he waited for the flames around him to go out.

Given Lee Han’s young age, it was judged that over time, excessively brought in flames would become poisonous.

-…???

However, the flames did not budge even as time passed.

Lee Han, who had been waiting, said calmly.

“If you don’t come out, I will burn you in the dark. three. two. One…”

He didn’t have the confidence to handle fire magic skillfully, so he turned on the lights everywhere and waited. It wasn’t because he was afraid of shadow monsters.

Sensing the warning in Lee Han’s voice, the shadow monster crawled out of the daze.

Tak-tak-tak-tak-

“?”

Footsteps were heard in the distance.

Lee Han turned his head and cast his gaze. A face I had seen several times was running hurriedly in the darkness of the night.

He was the warehouse keeper of the magic school.

* * *

– These are the monsters I prepared for this festival. How are you?

– There are a lot of numbers.

-…not funny. In any case, you have to manage these monsters well.

The skeleton headmaster spoke to the warehouse keeper in a solemn voice.

These monsters summoned for this festival weren’t just guys to use once or twice.

It was a beautiful chess piece that would brighten up the perfect plan drawn up by Headmaster Skeleton.

-I will do my best.

But in fact, the number of monsters summoned by the headmaster was too many for the warehouse keeper to manage alone.

Besides, the monsters weren’t even quiet.

-Stand still and do not move.

thud! thud!

The monsters, who had been ordered by the skeleton principal to track down and attack the students who had the right to go out, struggled to get out of us at any moment.

The warehouse keeper did his best to manage it, but eventually an accident occurred.

Several cages were broken and the monsters inside escaped.

It was a sudden situation, but the warehouse keeper was not taken aback.

I calmly grabbed the guys around me, imprisoned them again, and followed the trail of the guys who ran away.

“!”

The warehouse keeper hesitated at the huge magic power he felt from afar.

He was a warehouse keeper who gained a powerful magic detection ability instead of losing his sight, but even with that ability, it was a huge amount of magic that was impossible to fully comprehend.

Originally, he would have asked, ‘Are you the principal?’

“Are you the principal or a student?”

Lee Han thought quickly.

Speaking of the skeleton headmaster here

…

“I’m a student.”

“Is that so.”

Fortunately, the warehouse keeper didn’t attack Lee Han in the way, ‘You must have tricked me last time!’

Instead, Lee Han looked at the shadow monster surrounded by flames.

He couldn’t see his pupils, but Lee Han seemed interested in the storage keeper.

“Did you catch it by lighting a fire around it?”

“yes.”

“Didn’t he try to run away?”

“They smoked everywhere without giving them a chance to escape.”

Sharkan growled proudly.

The warehouse keeper was surprised by Lee Han’s words.

If that statement is true, the shadow monster smoked quickly without giving it a chance to escape.

That many flames like that?

It was hard for a freshman to show, no matter how much he had a talent specialized in fire elemental magic.

“You will make a good wizard.”

“thank you.”

“Then may I take the monster?”

“…Are you the one who escaped from the principal’s eyes?”

Lee Han was much quicker than the warehouse keeper thought.

The monster storage keeper immediately thought of the skeleton headmaster.

The warehouse keeper didn’t express his feelings, but was a little taken aback.

Do freshmen know that well?

if?

“Did the principal tell you?”

“In a way, there is no such side.”

Lee Han answered euphemistically.

Of course, the skeleton headmaster didn’t tell him, but he was suspicious after seeing what the skeleton headmaster was doing, so in a way, the skeleton headmaster told him.

The innocent warehouse keeper never imagined that a freshman would already have such a cunning tongue.

“you’re right. I am one of those who escaped.”

“Are there still many escaped ones left?”

“That’s right.”

“……”

Lee Han cursed inwardly.

‘If you don’t have the confidence to manage this school, you should be banned from summoning something.’

“Can I help you?”

The warehouse keeper was surprised by Lee Han’s words.

I had no idea that a freshman would say such extraordinary things.

Other freshmen might have refused help, but seeing that the boy in front of them had just subdued the shadow monster, they were capable enough to help.

Besides, isn’t he actually the principal’s disciple?

Even if we work together, there won’t be any problems.

“Would you please?”

“yes. It is my honor to help those who are dedicated to this school of magic.”

“You will make a really good wizard.”

“haha. thank you.”

‘It’s easy.’

Dealing with someone like the Skeleton Headmaster and dealing with the warehouse keeper was too easy.

Headmaster Skeleton’s endless schemes and schemes trained Lee Han like this.

‘There is definitely a plan for the Headmaster Skeleton.’

Digging while helping

Lee Han knew it well now.

If you don’t seize the opportunity when you have it, you won’t be able to survive in this magic academy.

“for a moment. I’ll wake up Cainan too and go.”

“Let it be.”

Lee Han called out a mass of water and splashed Gainando on his face.

“Ouch!”

“Guinan Island! Are you okay!”

“It’s okay… kek kek kek. my my outing pass! What about my outing pass?”

“I’m fine. Go into the tower today and don’t come out.”

Gainando had the advantage of not needlessly prying.

When Lee Han spoke seriously, Gainando also nodded earnestly.

“okay.”

“okay. Enter carefully.”

“But do you want to play a game of cards when you get back?”

“……”

* * *

Lee Han moved like a warehouse keeper and caught three more shadow monsters.

The shadow monsters summoned from the dark world, composed of yin and shadow magic, were favored by cunning and despicable black magicians.

He had special abilities for stealth tracking and surprise attacks.

‘It’s really like a skeleton headmaster.’

Lee Han kept digging up information from the warehouse keeper and confirmed the shadow monster’s weakness.

As I had already dealt with, the one who was severely afraid of light and heat was right.

‘I might see it again, so I should know for sure.’

“So… you’re ordered to track down students who have a pass when these guys are summoned.”

“That’s right.”

“……”

‘It’s ridiculous to hear it again.’

Lee Han again checked the information he had gleaned from the other person and was dumbfounded.

Well…

The headmaster of the skeleton said he was giving out tickets too easily, but there was a scheming scheme behind him.

When the festival is over and the students are excited to go out on Saturday morning, they move to the main gate… A

surprise attack!

‘It’s really fortunate to know in advance.’

Lee Han rubbed his chest inwardly.

If I didn’t know, what would have happened…

‘Wait a minute.’

Lee Han, who was relieved, felt something ominous pass through his brain.

‘Let’s think about it from the position of the skeleton headmaster.’

I’ve been diligently summoning and preparing monsters like this, but should I use it only to ambush students who are about to go out on the weekend and take away their right to go out?

…wouldn’t it also be used to ambush returning students?

Lee Han talked to the warehouse keeper as calmly as possible so as not to be discovered.

“really. Where are the monsters waiting when the students return?”

Lee Han spoke so casually as if he already knew, so the warehouse keeper didn’t even have the slightest doubt.

“I’ll be waiting near the hill in front of the main gate.”

“If you’re late dealing with monsters… you can be sent to the punishment room.”

“That’s right.”

“…Come to think of it, isn’t it next week’s midterm exam?”

“That’s right.”

“If I come back on the weekend and get locked up, I can’t study for the midterm properly… even better.”

“also. You are the principal’s disciple. You will make a good wizard.”

“……”

Lee Han threw off his mask and almost punched the warehouse keeper.

* * *

“Why are you so sad?”

Thunderwalker was puzzled by the appearance of Lee Han, who had been sighing heavily in front of the alchemy tent since morning.

However, instead of answering, Lee Han only sighed.

“So you should have listened. Now, here is a potion that makes you feel good.”

Thunderwalk poured a barley potion full of golden bubbles and poured it out.

The people around her had already finished the barley potion and were happy.

“professor.”

“why?”

“What if someone had to break through an ambush?”

“…what the hell are you planning?”

Professor Wooreegeol was astonished.
