Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 188 Lee

Han wondered why he had to bring a lump of water, but he quietly listened.

As it was an order from Professor Thunderstruck, he must have had some thoughts.

“A mage whose aptitude is usually suited to the element of water is likely to be compatible with the element of cold. However, if you ask me if it is easy to practice the cold element on a daily basis, then again it is not.”

If there are elements that are relatively easy to handle, there are elements that are difficult to handle.

Elements like fire, water, and soil are typically easy to handle (of course, there were wizards who had a hard time handling fire), but elements like lightning, darkness, and cold were difficult to handle.

“Lightning is difficult to control, darkness is hard to implement, and cold is difficult to maintain.”

Professor Thunderwalk created snowflakes in the air with his words.

The snowflakes that formed inside the warm cabin instantly turned into water droplets.

“Unlike water or earth, the elemental cold tends to lose its power and dissipate unless the mage is constantly focused on it. You have to keep concentrating and injecting magic power into it.”

“indeed. Just as it is difficult to summon and float dozens of water orbs, the cold element is just as difficult…” “

…No, not to that extent.”

Professor Wooreeul was taken aback while speaking.

The cold element was a difficult element, but it wasn’t that high.

“But in this environment, the cold element is much easier to maintain. Don’t you think it’s the best environment for new mages to train and learn their senses?”

“It makes sense.”

Lee Han nodded and paused.

‘Oops. For a moment, I sincerely thought that it might be luck.’

It was a moment, but it was an experience that made me a little afraid of myself.

Absolutely no luck!

“And like I said before, because the spirit realm is getting closer, the cold spirits will be summoned everywhere… There will be opportunities to receive teachings and blessings while contacting the spirits.”

“The last time I went to the spirit realm, the spirits avoided me. Is there any possibility that this environment will remove the spirits’ fear and increase their friendship?”

“There is no chance of that.”

“……”

Lee Han was a bit sullen.

Is it not possible though?

“Thanks for the advice. professor.”

“okay. take care of yourself It probably won’t last very long.”

“day?”

“Longer than a day.”

“Two days?”

“I just said it. Just imagine that you never know when it will end.”

Professor Thunderwalk shook his head at the persistent student’s words and pulled out a box and held it out.

The round glass bottles were filled with a brown liquid slicking around.

“This is a gift. It will help with the cold.”

“Is it a potion?”

“no. It’s brandy.”

“…thank you anyway.”

Lee Han took the chest and left the cabin.

Then he tilted his head.

‘for a moment. So why did you create water?’

* * *

Hui Yiing –

“Light the fire!”

“no. I ran out of oil!”

“Push it with force before it hardens!”

“I’m going to hit the wall with dirt!”

The Black Turtle Tower students struggled to clear the snow in front of the tower.

The blue dragon’s tower had a madman whose magical power did not diminish, and pierced the path with flames, but the other towers couldn’t use that method either.

Instead, the students of the Black Turtle Tower used their various wits to clear the snow little by little.

All sorts of methods were used.

“Push with Ymirg power! I will build a wall!”

“for a moment. Someone is coming!”

“Are you the professor?”

“It can’t be…”

The Black Turtle Tower students felt it too.

The professor won’t come and help!

Of course, it was Lee Han who came.

“It’s Wodanaz!? How did you manage to get through this blizzard…”

“Wodanaz! How did you come!”

The Black Turtle Tower students shouted loudly.

Because of the strong blizzard, I couldn’t hear unless I shouted with strength.

Whoa!

“I’m here to…!”

“what?”

“I came to…!”

“You came to help?”

“no! I came to barter!”

thud!

Lee Han put down the chest.

The chest was full of thick cloth.

Because he bought it like a madman, he had enough left over even after making various cold-weather items.

“Where did you get it?!”

“There are ways. ruler. So… would you like to exchange?”

“I will freeze to death talking here. come here! Come over here and let’s talk!”

In the place where the black market used to be in front of the tower, there were a few makeshift snow huts.

It was a temporary shelter built by the Black Turtle Tower students to clear snow outside.

The students checked the cloth Lee Han had brought and made a surprised expression.

‘No, really, where did you get this?’

‘How can that boy from Wardanaz be more resourceful than a member of the thieves’ guild?’

“Kyo.. I want to exchange. Wodanaz.”

“okay. That’s what I came for.”

Lee Han looked at his friends with slightly expectant eyes.

“How much food do you have left?”

“……”

“……”

The Black Turtle Tower students hesitantly looked at each other. Then someone opened up.

“does not exist.”

“What nonsense? I know you guys are constantly collecting them.”

In fact, the Tower of the Blue Dragon was able to live without starving because Lee Han uniquely brought in supplies.

On the other hand, the Black Turtle Tower students were able to get their own food even if many of them were thrown into the mountains.

The Blue Dragon’s Tower is purchased.

If the White Tiger Tower is hunting…

the Black Turtle Tower is using all kinds of methods, such as gathering, farming, exchanging, and hunting!

Even if there are no high-end items or luxuries like the Blue Dragon’s Tower, there must be more if you look at the food coming in?

“The warehouse was blown away by a snowstorm…”

“……”

Unlike Lee Han, who could store most of the small-sized preserved foods and seasonings in the break room, the Black Turtle Tower students used the outside storage a lot.

Various types of work, from smoking to pickling, were carried out, but it was impossible to do it in the break room.

Of course, such warehouses had the weakness of being vulnerable in this situation.

“You should have been prepared for this situation.”

‘How to prepare for that…’

“Anyway, I know.”

Lee Han picked up the chest again and stood up from his seat.

It was a waste of effort to come this far, but there was nothing I could do.

“for a moment! for a moment! Wodanaz!”

“Don’t go!”

The Black Turtle Tower students held on to Lee Han’s collar and stretched out.

Cold weather items were needed more than anyone else.

“Why are you being so nasty?”

Lee Han said colder than the blizzard outside.

“External… can’t it be external? When I go out later, with silver coins…”

“Hey. Don’t talk nonsense. will that work? No matter how much money your family has, the opponent is the Wardanaj family. What’s wrong with accepting such an offer?”

Another friend was bruised by the words of the black tortoise tower’s second-in-command, who was next to Salko, whom I met the other day.

Lee Han hesitated.

“Which family are you from?”

“It’s the Richmond family…”

Shiles, from the Richmond family, opened his mouth with a rather embarrassed expression.

Although it was a family that built a fortune in the wagon transportation business in the empire, the dignity of a family was not determined by the family’s gold, but by the history built up by that family.

From that point of view, the Wardanaz family, one of the greatest aristocratic families in the empire and famous for magic, had a reputation that Shiles could not dare compare.

‘No, this bastard.’

Lee Han was dumbfounded.

If there is a lot of money in the family, they will write it on their foreheads, so why not tell them about it and create an embarrassing situation for each other?

“You come from a very good family.”

“Are you kidding, Wodanaz?”

“Does my face look like I’m joking?”

Lee Han’s cold statue-like face had the effect of putting pressure on the opponent even when he was still.

Shiles was a little taken aback.

“I’ll give it to you on credit. Pay it back later on vacation.”

“what? really? Are you okay though?”

“of course. You can trust the Richmond family.”

“Wardanas…”

Shiles looked at Yihan with a moved expression.

There was no way Lee Han, from the Wardanaz family, coveted the silver coins, and it was clear that he was considerate of Shiles’ feelings.

Such a warm respect you show in front of other friends.

Is this a quality that only the great nobility possesses?

“Thank you so much…”

“Give me an autograph.”

“Ah yes.”

Lee Han turned over the chest.

I couldn’t find food, but selling it at such a high price made my heart warm.

“Did you come to Wodhanaz?”

Outside the snow house, Nilia stuck her head out.

“Help me convince me!”

“Nilia… it’s impossible. Dangerous.”

“Oh, it’s really not dangerous!”

“?”

Nilia came in, beating her chest in frustration.

Wearing animal skins to prepare for the cold, and snowshoes made of vines and tree branches underneath her shoes, Nilia exuded the aura of an expert.

“What persuasion are you talking about?”

“I’m going hunting now, but everyone is stopping me.”

“Nilia… Anyway, going hunting in the current weather…”

“Good idea. let’s go.”

“yes? Look! Wardanaz agrees!”

“……”

The friends looked at Lee Han in amazement.

What are you doing!?

* * *

“Stay still, and food won’t fall from the sky.”

“That is what I mean. Wodanaz. After all, non-hunters think meat falls from the sky! By the way, Wodanaz. Could you put the fire aside?”

“ah. sorry.”

Nilia felt the heat and moved away. The firepower of the flames Lee Han floated all over the surrounding area was too strong.

Lee Han admired the sight of Nilia moving lightly on the thick snow.

I wasn’t from the < Shadow Patrol > for nothing.

“A blizzard like this is no big deal for the Shadow Patrol, right?”

“no. nothing is right It’s rare that something so serious happens.”

“indeed. Still, it’s great that you’re breaking through like this. It’s a poor situation with no other Shadow Rangers.”

Lee Han was amazed.

As a skilled hunter and ranger, Nilia was serving as a proper guide.

The mountain with heavy snowfall became a completely different space than usual, and if you let go of your mind for a little bit, it changed without knowing where you were.

However, Nilia did not hesitate to find a way and create it.

What a great skill…

“No. It is a much more comfortable situation.”

Nilia looked at Lee Han as if she were talking nonsense.

I was walking around with flames floating around, clearing my eyes and warming my body, but what kind of poor situation do you mean?

If other hunters had heard of it, they would have said, ‘Wow, hunting is easy’.

“Anyway, I thought you would stop Wodanaz.”

“ah. Of course, I also wanted to go after the snow stopped a little, but I couldn’t help it.”

“?”

“You have to take a lecture tomorrow, right? I have to put it together over the weekend.”

“……”

Nilia flinched.

In fact, I was thinking that it would be okay to take a break from the lecture once or twice, using that as an excuse that I must have finished all the midterm exams and that there will be heavy snowfall.

“Lecture… In an emergency like this, can’t we skip at least once?”

“What nonsense are you kidding, Nilia?”

“……”

Nilia turned her head and pouted invisibly.

That’s why the chief!

For an instant, Nilia’s long ears perked up.

“There is something. It looks like a spirit or a monster…”

“Can you tell them apart?”

“It is not easy.”

The visibility was shortened due to the blizzard, and it was not easy to distinguish between spirits and monsters in a situation where nature’s magic was running rampant.

Pod!

“Huh? Why are you running away?!”

“…It’s a spirit.”
