Episode 1108 (1108/1114)
“Is this really the case?”
“?”
Professor Boladi was puzzled by his junior professor’s protest.
At that sight, Professor Garcia realized that the other person did not feel any guilt about the conversation he had just had.
‘I, I…!’
Professor Garcia shuddered at the impudence that was almost like Professor Burdus’s.
Of course, strictly speaking, Professor Boladi was right to follow the principles.
Because we definitely had this conversation before we left.
-But Professor, if the two of us teach together, wouldn’t it be too difficult for this student?
-I think it’ll be okay.
-… Let’s just take turns? We set a time, I talk, the professor talks. We divide it like that.
-Okay, I understand.
When it came to setting principles or rules, Professor Boladi surprisingly tended to follow them well.
That is why Professor Garcia must have been timing his conversation precisely and then said this…
‘This is really lethal!’
Professor Garcia grumbled inwardly and took out his pocket watch. He also intended to time it accurately, without missing a single second.
Tatat-
Jo Woo-rin, who had watched it enough to get tired of it, took his face away from the window and returned to his original spot.
Then, he screamed in surprise when he saw Lee Han and Professor Boladi, who were taking positions to study magic.
‘Is it that surprising? Hmm. No. It’s surprising, I guess.’
Professor Garcia was inwardly convinced.
If you were a student at Ainrogard, you might be surprised, but if you were an outsider, especially Joorin who grew up in the royal family, you couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Wh…what are you doing?!”
“I am studying magic, Your Majesty.”
“Why?!”
“… … ”
“… … ”
The three wizards were silent. When asked ‘why’, they were at a loss as to what to say.
Lee Han forced an answer.
“Because you don’t have time to study at school?”
‘Hmm!’
Professor Garcia groaned inwardly.
Hearing it like that, Einrogard felt like a bit of a terrible magic school.
“Joe, I can’t even play with Jo Woo-rin… and yet I don’t have time. This is just ridiculous!”
“Ugh!”
Professor Garcia spoke out loud.
Einrogard was starting to feel like a really bad magic school.
‘I need to calm this down quickly.’
Lee Han thought he had to appease Jo Woo-rin as quickly as possible.
This was because he was worried about how Professor Boladi would react to having his allotted time taken away.
Surely you wouldn’t have kicked Jo Woo-rin out of the carriage?
“What can we do? This is how Einrogard originally was.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Other students, like me, are also studying magic intensely.”
“… … ”
Professor Garcia looked at his student with his mouth wide open in absurdity.
How could you lie so shamelessly?
But surprisingly, it seemed to have worked for Jo Woo-rin.
“I feel bad for the students of Ain Rogard…!”
“Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. Please wait a moment.”
Fortunately, when Jo Woo-rin seemed convinced, Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.
But Lee Han didn’t notice.
The firm determination that Jo Woo-rin has made!
‘This is absolutely ridiculous. Jo Woo-rin, Jo Woo-rin…! I will change this rotten empire!’
Considering the Dragon Clan’s characteristic of not being interested in worldly affairs, it was truly an incredible decision.
* * *
“These are the magic spells I am currently practicing.”
Professor Boladi took out a small blackboard and drew a diagram.
On top of it, it had ‘Wodanaz’s Psychic Power’, ‘Oktan’, ‘Brain Fire’, ‘Blue Flame’, ‘Soul Fire’, ‘Summon High-ranking Undead’, ‘Headmaster’s Vision’, and so on written down.
Professor Garcia let out a deep sigh when he saw that.
“omg!”
“But as I said last time, the number and level of magic has increased.”
“phew.”
“You have to set priorities.”
“oh!”
“I’m not saying you have to learn everything…”
“ah.”
“… Professor Garcia. Are you okay?”
Lee Han, who couldn’t stand to watch, spoke carefully.
Even Jo Woo-rin was looking at Professor Garcia as if he found it a little strange.
Joorin didn’t know much about magical education, but it seemed like it would definitely be a nuisance if he kept interjecting like that every time he spoke.
“I’m sorry, Lee Han.”
“No. Are you… Are you angry?”
“Why am I angry?”
“I thought you were taking revenge on Professor Bagreg’s advance earlier…”
“… … ”
At Lee Han’s words, Professor Boladi, who had been silently reading a book, raised his head and glanced at him.
Professor Garcia, who was very upset, jumped so hard that he almost hit the ceiling of the carriage.
“Absolutely not!!!”
“Oh. Is that so? Sorry.”
Professor Garcia was so wronged.
Professor Boladi was the one who was timing people’s conversations, but he never thought he would be tied up with the same person.
‘Sob sob sob… ‘
“The magic we will learn this time is <Intermediate Magic Ancestral Formation>.”
Professor Voladi had no immediate plans to further expand or push the advanced magics his disciple had learned.
It will take quite some time just to embody and follow the magic you have already learned.
Rather, it would be better to recommend a few magic spells that the disciple needs right now.
As he was a disciple who had raised his magic level so rapidly, there were quite a few useful magic spells that he had not yet mastered.
‘Phew. That’s a relief.’
Professor Garcia sighed. This time, inwardly, so as not to be caught.
“If it’s an intermediate magic axe…”
“It is the higher level magic of the <Lower Magic Formation> that Lee Han learned.”
A magic spell that uses the body as a sort of simple scroll, allowing you to quickly cast magic below your own circle by recording it in advance. <Low-level magic spell>.
<Intermediate Magic Axe> was a higher version of that magic.
“What circle is it?”
“5 circles. Isn’t that good?”
‘What’s so fortunate?’
For a moment, Lee Han felt distant from Professor Garcia.
I really had no idea what he meant by “thank goodness.”
In fact, Professor Garcia meant, ‘It’s fortunate that it’s not a 6th circle spell, since several students have learned it at least at the 5th circle spell level.’
Even if Lee Han understood the meaning, it was likely that he would have felt the same distance.
“Besides, <Intermediate Magical Field> is a relatively easy magic compared to the 5-circle magics that Lee Han has learned.”
“Wow. This is really exciting.”
‘Lee Han looks sad.’
Jo Woo-rin thought while chewing on the candy.
Why does the contractor’s face look so pensive?
“If you want to practice <Intermediate Magic Concentration>, start by concentrating on the 4th circle magic. It will be good practice.”
“There’s no guarantee that it will become a 4-circle magic… ”
“yes?”
“It’s nothing.”
Lee Han grumbled slightly and then prepared the magic as Professor Boladi had instructed.
If there’s a good 4-circle magic to practice, it’s <Wodanaz’s Suoktan>.
Since it was covered so many times, it was also good to use as a test for other magic.
“Magic, dwell here. I command you again and again, dwell here. Like the calming energy, like the silent coming of dusk…”
Lee Han began practicing, using everything he had learned, from repeated chanting to musical incantations.
For high-difficulty spells, it was advantageous to succeed once without worrying about casting speed.
‘I’m glad I learned this. If I hadn’t learned it, I’d be dizzy thinking about how I would have cast it.’
Meanwhile, the two professors talked about what magic would be good next without even looking at their students.
“What would be a good next spell? I would recommend <Milley’s Paper Bird Summoning>.”
“I don’t think there’s any need to stock up on summoning magic.”
“Yes. I know that. But when I think about the meaning of practice, I think it would be quite helpful to be able to store up one summoning magic. And other summoning magic…”
“Professor, could you please check if I am doing it right?”
Lee Han called the two professors. However, the professors answered vaguely as if they were annoyed.
“If you are a good student, you must have done well. Just pick something difficult and practice it.”
“Well done.”
“So, Professor. Summoning magic is originally…”
“… … ”
Lee Han was dumbfounded at the sight of the two professors getting engrossed in their conversation again.
‘There are people like that?’
Instead, Jo Woo-rin applauded from the side.
“I think Joorin is great!”
“…Your Majesty is the light and salt of the empire. Sob!”
“Why, why… Lee Han. Don’t be sad!”
Jo Woo-rin was embarrassed and tried to calm the contractor down.

‘But what did you call me to do at the Wonchuri Tower?’
As he got off the carriage (which arrived just before his time, Professor Garcia ground his teeth), Lee Han was lost in thought.
“There it is, Lee Han. It’s quite different from the place we visited with the principal last time, isn’t it?”
Among the Empire’s magic towers, those that were of a certain size and confident in their skills would erect towers all over the Empire, connecting the spaces with each other.
The cone-shaped tower was also such a place.
The original base of the tower was located in the city of Flacher, but there were also separate towers on the outskirts of the capital and on the outskirts of Granden.
Of course, even though the spaces were connected, not everything was the same, especially the exterior of the tower.
The tower located in the city of Flaher is the most ornate and refined, the tower located on the outskirts of the imperial capital is less sophisticated but still quite old-fashioned, and the tower located on the outskirts of Granden is a bit shabby…
“Yes. It’s very fancy.”
“Right. Shabby… Yes?”
Professor Garcia looked up in surprise.
Surprisingly, the tower that came into view was covered in dazzling gold. Professor Garcia had never seen such a tower building in his life.
‘Hey, did Wonchuri Matop make a lot of money recently…?’
It was as if he had somehow won a contract for a magic-related project led by the Empire.
-The carriage has arrived!!
-Everyone stop what you’re doing and change your clothes!
Professor Garcia clearly saw two wizards who were testing alchemical reagents inside the cesspool jump out, quickly change into their clothes, and cover up the cesspool.
The two wizards added various decorations and insignia to each other’s costumes, then used magic to summon a tea table out of thin air. Then they sat down right in front of each other and poured teacups.
“Hmm! You really are so relaxed.”
“It’s a luxury you can’t find in other magic towers. Isn’t it?”
The two wizards spoke loudly, as if they wanted someone to listen.
Although he didn’t see the two wizards emerge from the cesspool, Lee Han noticed something strange.
“There’s nothing in that teacup, so why are you doing that?”
“… … ”
While Professor Garcia was wondering, several other wizards walked out in front of the tower.
They talked loudly, pretending not to care about the strange party.
“Did you hear that our magic tower defeated the green stone magic tower this time?”
“You’re talking about the analysis of plant-like entities that can be found at a local level. Of course, the analysis is excellent, but it’s so common in our tower that I don’t feel the need to talk about it!”
“That’s right! Hahaha!”
Professor Garcia stared at the backs of the retreating wizards in astonishment.
‘Ugh, so gross…!!’
No matter how much I wanted to scout this strange student after he graduated, this is such an absurd play!
Even Jo Woo-rin was confused.
“Oh, it seems the wizards are under an illusionary spell.”
“… Perhaps that is so, Your Majesty.”
Lee Han, who realized the situation belatedly, said with regret.
The good wizards of the Empire have been corrupted like this because of the evil tricks of the Skeleton Master…
