Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 226

Whether or not Lee Han feels unfair, Professor Voladi continues as if admonishing.

“Rock Drake is not originally a monster to catch now.”

‘So, is Rakshagwi the monster to catch now?’

Lee Han swallowed his words inwardly.

I hated the person who forcibly caught the devil’s mouth.

“As I said before, impatience can ruin a wizard.”

“yes. I know.”

“Your goal should not be impatient. keep in mind.”

“yes. You know… my goal?”

Lee Han hesitated.

What is Lee Han’s goal?

‘Did I ever tell Professor Voladi that I wanted to be an Imperial bureaucrat? Or did you ever say you wanted to be the richest man in the empire?’

No matter how much I thought about it.

If it’s another goal…

‘I wanted to hit the skeleton headmaster once.’

“Excuse me, but what do you mean by my goal?”

“Wasn’t it to complete the form of combat magic through multiple magic training?”

“…!”

When you hear something so absurd, you can’t even say ‘yes?’

Lee Han did just that.

The study of magic was inherently dangerous, but few faced such danger as battle mages who used magic in battle.

The troubles of these battle mages were always the same.

-How can I refine my magic to be more suitable for battle?

In fact, in a way, magic was the most inappropriate skill for combat.

You can wield a sword to kill people up close and shoot arrows to kill people from a distance. How inefficient it is to create hands like blades and arrows made of wind after years of training.

Of course, no one denied the powerful destructive power of high circle magic.

…usually there are huge restrictions on casting such magic on the battlefield.

Concentrating on reagents in the preparation process…

Besides, when I tried to cast such magic again, the opponent did not stay still. As the opponent also has eyes, I heard that I wanted to kill the wizard first.

I still have to concentrate on casting high circle magic (if these magics fail again, the caster could die), but I have to pay attention to the opponent’s attack.

The magic battle wasn’t difficult for nothing. It was a magical battle that even excellent wizards would be useless on the battlefield if they were not professionally trained.

Anyway, as they specialized in difficult things like this, battle mages were always conscious of their weaknesses and thought about supplementing them.

-I have been practicing fire elemental magic all my life. However, on the battlefield last time, I got hit by an arrow flying from behind, and I was worried. What would you like to do?

– Cast wide-area fire magic around you to block others from approaching.

-That’s unreasonable. I have friends who move with me.

-Then learn how to make a screen or shield out of flame.

-I tried it, but it consumes too much mana, and due to the nature of the fire, I couldn’t block the specially treated arrows.

– I can’t help it. get this robe

-Is it a robe with defense magic?

-no. It is a robe usually worn by earth elemental wizards. When you wear this robe, archers will start targeting others. Most earth elemental mages have strong defenses.

-……

However, as anyone who has learned magic knows, it was not easy to completely eliminate one’s weaknesses with only a single school of magic.

Isn’t there something only endowment magic can do, and there are things only summoning magic can do?

If you reach a certain level, you can solve it by applying only a single school of magic, but that’s really possible at the level of being called a great wizard…

The easiest way was to learn the magic of other schools.

Of course, there was a reason why other battle mages didn’t do this easiest method.

-Foresight magic to prevent surprise from the battlefield, summoning magic to summon a shield that protects me, strengthening magic to reduce damage if I am attacked, and finally healing magic to prepare for injuries. I’m trying to learn this, what do you think?

– Even if you think about it, don’t you feel something strange right now?

…Even if you dig deep into the magic of one school and train it, it’s difficult to succeed, but learning the magic of multiple schools.

The students of Ein Rogard, who gathered the best talent in the empire, did not train more than two or three schools.

No matter how much you learn together, it’s good to have a synergistic effect with each other, but a person’s body and mind have limits.

“for a moment. I understand the explanation, but why did this story come out?”

Lee Han, who was listening, wondered when the story flowed strangely.

“Weren’t you learning the magic of all schools to perfect your battle magic?”

To Professor Boladi’s question, Lee Han replied with a straight face and a stern answer.

“What a coincidence!”

“Was it a coincidence? Right.”

‘Are you convinced?’

“Intuition is sometimes a better guide than reason. Especially since I have an aptitude for the magic of foresight.”

“……”

‘It must be crazy.’

Come to think of it, Professor Voladi was a person who only looked at the results when he did something and did not care too much about the causes or reasons.

As long as Lee Han already listened to magic lectures from various schools, he must have thought, ‘Then it would be nice to become a battle mage who can use all those magics’.

“professor. It sounds ideal at first glance to perfect battle magic without weaknesses through multi-magic training, but isn’t it realistically difficult?”

Lee Han tried to persuade Professor Boladi.

It sounds ideal just by listening to it, but isn’t it a training method that is not realistic?

Professor Voladi nodded.

‘Did you understand…?’

“But with you, the story is different. I received high marks in all lectures.”

“……”

Lee Han was furious with the professors.

Why is everyone so lighthearted?

Shouldn’t the student’s aptitude and grades be known only to himself?

“Then it is not unlikely.”

Professor Voladi’s theory was as follows.

Currently, Lee Han has completed the ‘basic’ elemental training on time.

In addition, some advanced courses (evaporation, rotation, or floating ice shield) must now be practiced, but…

…if Lee Han had a grand goal of multi-magic training, he had to respect that too.

So, Professor Voladi was preparing to apply and combine the magic he learned from other schools of magic.

“The magic of other schools will now advance in earnest.”

“Excuse me, but how?”

“Didn’t I tell you to bring books from the library?”

“……”

That’s how it connects.

Han Lee lamented inwardly.

I should have set the library on fire!

‘for a moment. It might not be necessarily a bad thing.’

Come to think of it, even if other schools of magic were making progress in earnest, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Professor Voladi will try to apply and combine what he has learned, so the progress will slow down to some extent.

And it was highly likely that other schools of magic would not be as harsh as Professor Voladi.

‘While learning how to apply and combine different magics, this lecture becomes a peaceful and warm lecture.’

Lee Han, who was struggling to find the positive aspects of the situation, heard Professor Boladi’s voice in his ears.

“preparation.”

“……”

A storm of magic missiles ready to strike in all directions.

Come to think of it, Professor Voladi said he would help me apply the magic of other schools to combat, but he didn’t say he would stop the advanced course he taught.

Of course we do it together.

“…freeze!!”

* * *

Professor Voladi was truly sorry.

Because of his urgent desire to catch the rock drake, the apprentice from the Wodanaz family could not complete the floating ice shield magic.

Of course, it wasn’t just a failure.

Lee Han succeeded in summoning the ice shield and even succeeded in floating the ice shield in the air.

However, now this ice shield ‘autonomously move around and block attacks’ was not completely successful.

Because the enchantment magic was still unfamiliar, the ice shield moved or collided randomly, so there was still a way to go.

Nonetheless, this was a formidable achievement. Especially considering that I am a first year student.

However, none of the masters and students in the classroom thought this achievement was staggering.

‘weird. Why is it so hard?’

Lee Han let out a heavy breath.

The mana was intact, but the consumption of mental power was severe.

It was much more difficult to summon and maintain the cold than usual.

I didn’t do this last time…

“Ah.”

Realizing the reason, Lee Han hesitated.

“Why?”

“professor. Unlike last week, the current school is not a good environment to use frost magic because the king of frost giants is gone.”

“Right. At the next lecture, I will bring chills to the classroom.”

“……”

Lee Han was at a loss for words when he saw Professor Voladi proudly passing on the words that he had forgotten.

‘…You are a born professor. really.’

* * *

“Lee Han. I think there must have been something in the snack…”

The friends were worried about Lee Han’s shadowy expression.

I ate the skeleton principal’s snacks, but in fact, wasn’t there a trap?

“It’s just because the lectures are difficult.”

“I see. If so.”

Other friends whispered next to the relieved Guinando.

-Is it okay to be relieved?

-Now, the additional lectures that Wodanaz is taking are roughly…

But what can I do?

A friend is already going that way.

The Blue Dragon Tower students forced a smile and said.

“But today’s summoning magic lecture will be fine!”

“that’s right. Wardanaz, you’re particularly good at summoning magic. It won’t be too hard…”

However, Prof. Millay said firmly, correcting the position of the monocle as soon as the students sat down.

“Everyone brought books from the library, so today’s lecture is going to be a bit difficult.”

“……”

“……”

Lee Han shook his head with a bitter expression. Seeing this, his friends seemed to be heartbroken.

“Wardanaz…!”

“cheer up! Don’t fall down!”

Of course, it was a sight that the other top students couldn’t understand.

“What are the Blue Dragon Tower guys doing?”

“Why are you worried about Wodanaz? Wouldn’t it be great if Wodanaz would worry about them?”

“quiet.”

Professor Millay made the students quiet. Even without the compulsive magic of Headmaster Skeleton, this old professor knew how to keep his students quiet.

“Until now, everyone has been casting summoning magic using magic circles. That’s because summoning magic is difficult.”

Professor Millay brandished his staff with his horse.

Then, stone fragments rose from the floor and collided, turning into metal and then into a sword.

The professor’s actions did not end there. Swing it once more and cast the enchantment.

Then the sword danced as if it were alive.

“Can everyone see this sword?”

“yes!”

“I cast several spells to perfect this dancing sword.”

Lee Han, who had done something similar in the morning, nodded.

Professor Millay threw the octahedral-shaped reagent from his pocket and swung his staff.

Then the same Dancing Sword was summoned.

“There are dozens and hundreds of ways to reproduce the same phenomenon. Among them, summoning magic is a short shortcut.”

It was a much more convenient way to summon the Dancing Sword at once than to create a sword out of nothing and complete it with an enchantment.

“However, summoning magic requires a lot of preparation and is complicated and difficult. Animate or non-moving beings.”

The students who had heard it several times nodded their heads.

“A sword dancing like just now cannot be implemented in dozens or hundreds of ways at your level. If so, it means that it cannot be realized even with summoning magic.”

“…?”

Lee Han tilted his head slightly.

‘Um. I guess I should just stay still.’
