Episode 116
-But that method requires your full cooperation.
“… … ”
“… … ”
Lee Han succeeded in managing his expression, but the Black Turtle Tower students looked suspicious.
To begin with, it was a school where the professors were unreliable.
It wasn’t something I could trust as a senior.
‘You wouldn’t be betraying me if you said that, right?’
‘For some reason, doesn’t that senior seem like he belongs to the Blue Dragon Tower or the White Tiger Tower?’
-… Freshmen. The reason you doubt me now is… Shit! It’s like a fucking school. okay! I would be suspicious. Even if it were me, it would be like that. But after coming this far together, are you going to distrust each other!? And if you don’t trust me, how are you going to get out of here?
“That is correct.”
Lee Han comforted the Black Turtle Tower students.
Although this faceless senior was suspicious, he had no other options as he was currently trapped in the kettle kitchen by the warehouse manager’s magic.
Either get trapped and get caught, or listen to the methods of your seniors.
“Let’s listen first.”
-First of all, I have to give you some of those beer candies you made.
“… … ”
Salco’s eyes changed to look like he was looking at a suspicious conman, but he still reached into his pocket and took out a beer candy.
It was because I trusted Lee Han’s words rather than trusting the other person.
-I’m not trying to take anything away from you, freshmen.
‘The words are becoming more and more suspicious… ‘
-As you know, I used too much magic to get here today. I have almost no magic power left. I need to recover.
‘ah. ‘I guess so.’
Lee Han was convinced by the other person’s words.
Unlike Lee Han, who has never felt a lack of magical power in his life, other wizards often run out of magical energy when they use magic.
This faceless senior has used magic several times from the classroom to the kitchen.
It was no wonder that the magic power was gradually depleted.
Crunch crunch-
The beer candy disappeared little by little into the air.
Lee Han suddenly became curious.
“But how do you maintain your invisibility magic when you lack magical power?”
-I didn’t bet.
‘… Skeleton principal?!’
Although the handwriting was calm, Lee Han could somehow feel his senior’s fear.
no way…
‘Could it be that the skeleton principal cast a spell to prevent contact with the seniors?’
I wanted to shout, “Why on earth would you do something like that?”, but Lee Han didn’t do that.
Now, Lee Han has also begun to accept this magic school itself.
‘hmm. He was originally that kind of person. If I’m surprised, it’s only me who loses.’
-done. Stay tuned.
The senior seemed to have recovered some of his magic power and headed forward.
The magic the warehouse manager used on the kitchen door was a space distortion magic.
The name sounded simple, but it was not at all simple to crack.
At least three levels of magic were required.
First, >Enhance your senses>.
The 2nd circle magic, >Enhanced Senses>, was a popular magic among warriors among enchantments.
Once you make a move, even a dull and slow warrior can show reflexes as agile as a wet swallow.
In addition, thanks to enhanced senses such as sight and hearing, more information can be captured in a chaotic battlefield.
Space magic is basically a magic that distorts the five senses, so it had to be strengthened to at least this level in order to deal with it.
And the next one was >Spatial Awareness>.
>Spatial Awareness> was a 1st circle magic, but looking at its level of difficulty, it was more difficult than the 2nd circle magic >Enhanced Senses>.
This was due to the difficulty of space magic.
This >spatial awareness> served to accurately visualize the space around the wizard.
It was on a different level from simply seeing with the eyes and calculating with guesswork.
What objects are located near you and what exactly is the distance between them.
It was usually a magic used as an auxiliary spell by battle wizards who had to deal with fast enemies, but this magic was also essential when dealing with space magic.
Because if you don’t even recognize it, you can’t find a solution.
Lastly, a spell with moderate destructive power was needed.
It didn’t matter what kind of magic it was, all it needed was destructive power. You can only escape by finding the weak part of the distorted space and breaking through it.
‘The magical power has been restored.’
The senior took a deep breath.
As a third-year student carrying the symbol of pure silver, I had to show my true self in front of the freshmen.
… More than anything, I found it quite disturbing that a few people over there were suspicious of me.
“Sense, be strengthened. Space, be perceived. “Flame, form an arrow and fly!”
The spell was quickly memorized and the magic was cast.
My senses were strengthened, and the space around me became information and entered my mind.
And a flaming arrow flashed and pierced a point in the air.
“!”
“and… !”
Even the Black Turtle Tower students who were skeptical were impressed by the flame arrows.
After all, a senior is a senior!
Flames burning as if burning the surroundings were shot out, maintaining the shape of a sharp arrow.
Freshmen could see how difficult that magic was.
You can keep the fire element in the form of an arrow and even fire it at the same time.
‘It doesn’t maintain its shape well and seems to have some loss of control when firing.’
… Except Lee Han.
Lee Han thought to himself and was shocked.
‘no. ‘I’m thinking like Professor Boladi, aren’t I?’
What’s the big deal if the shape maintenance is a bit imperfect and control is lost occasionally?
There was no problem using magic.
A perfectionist like Professor Boladi would point it out one by one…
Lee Han reflected on the fact that he was thinking like Professor Boladi.
‘There is no need to be obsessed with perfection. Then he might end up like Professor Boladi.
Pop!
The flaming arrow collided and burned away.
The Black Turtle Tower students waited in admiration.
‘When can I leave?’
‘Is it now?’
-fat…
“??”
-… Let me go…
“… … ”
“… … ”
From the crooked writing on the paper, the students realized that their senior had failed.
* * *
Even if the senior tried to save him, there was nothing the invisible freshmen could do.
After a while, the senior seemed to have come to his senses and the writing was engraved again.
-… sorry. It looked ugly.
“What happened?”
-Failed.
“vein… ”
“?”
When one of the Black Turtle Tower students next to him opened his mouth, Lee Han was puzzled.
What are you trying to say?
“Beer candy thief… !”
“… … ”
-no! Could it be that I failed on purpose!!
The senior desperately tried to explain why he didn’t want to be remembered as someone who ate beer candy and splashed it.
There were two reasons for failure.
One was that the range of space distortion magic was wider and stronger than expected, so too much magic power was consumed in >Space Awareness>.
Another reason was that the space distortion magic was more solidly structured than expected. It seemed like the warehouse manager had injected more magic power than usual to make it difficult to break through.
Thanks to this, even though I fired a flaming arrow, it couldn’t pierce it and bounced back.
“therefore… He only ate our beer candy and failed to escape… ”
Salko said in a serious voice. If it weren’t for the principal’s magic, the senior would have wanted to grab the freshman by the collar and have a fight.
-this… Those who are lacking… I didn’t even know how difficult that magic was…
“senior. “Please tell me about >spatial awareness>.”
Lee Han, who was listening, said.
After listening to the detailed explanation, it didn’t seem that impossible.
The sense-enhancing magic is >Gonadaltes’ Nimble Step>.
The magic required for penetration is >The Sharp Hand of Gonadaltes>.
I thought Lee Han could give it a try if he just learned >Spatial Awareness>.
Since it was a 1st circle magic, if I was lucky, I might be able to learn it right away.
-freshman. you really…
The senior was about to comment, ‘Do you think it makes sense for a first year to learn space magic on the spot?’ but then stopped.
First of all, it’s not something you should say when you’ve already failed and are in a mess…
I wanted to hear the words, ‘I think this is unreasonable’ from the mouth of that freshman.
-good night. I will write in as much detail as possible.
While writing, the senior suddenly became worried.
… What if this new student succeeds in this spell at once?
* * *
An hour later.
Lee Han and his party left the basement kitchen and gathered in the front yard of the main building under the moonlight.
Lee Han spoke sincerely to the paper floating in the air.
“senior. thank you “I think he teaches better than the professor.”
“oh… ”
“I guess senior year is different.”
Hearing Lee Han’s words, other Black Turtle Tower students seemed to think the same thing.
Seeing Wardanaz do that, it was clear that the senior’s skill in teaching magic was extraordinary.
Maybe that senior was a theoretician who was better at teaching magic than at using it.
‘… … ‘
It was a shame that the new students couldn’t see their faces.
The senior sat on a nearby rock, covering his face with both hands, and sighed deeply.
‘I learned magic in vain… ‘
I was confident that I was quite outstanding among my grade…
Today, that pride has been completely shattered.
Even for new students who are seeing it for the first time!
If I tell the other friends in the tower exactly what I saw today, no one will believe me.
If you say so, maybe…
-I was hungry today, so I went to the kitchen to steal something to eat, and one of the new students taught me >Fahite’s Lesser Illusion>, and I learned it in one go. It was so fascinating that they also taught me “spatial awareness”? After learning it all at once, he was able to immediately recognize the space distortion magic used by the warehouse manager and break through it.
-Did you go to the kitchen and have a drink?
– Didn’t you get caught by the principal and get magic?
-Rather than that, is it possible to break through space distortion magic with just >spatial awareness>? Maybe you need other things too?
-ah. that… That freshman… that… I may have misread it, but it seems like the principal used a spell he used before… ?
-… You are right. How can a new student use the principal’s magic?
-I think that new student could be the transformed principal. hey. be careful. The principal can come and take you to the punishment room within this week. You didn’t say anything strange, right?
-I told you not to have any contact with new students in the first place!
… The same conversation will take place.
“senior? Are you there?”
“Aren’t you already gone?”
“I guess he just left because he said everything he wanted to say. “You look great.”
-I haven’t left yet…
The senior perked up and stood up.
Although it was truly shocking, all students who entered this magic school were accustomed to accepting shocking realities.
It was hard to accept the fact that the new student was better at magic than him or his other friends…
It wasn’t a fact that was particularly easy for the magic school or the skeleton headmaster to accept.
Let’s accept it!
-Thank you for today.
“no. “Thank you for teaching me well.”
‘Who are you kidding?’
Lee Han’s sincere gratitude sounded like teasing to his current senior.
-freshman. Normally, people who meet at night at this school do not ask their names or family names. When you get caught in the punishment cell, you can be taken along with them.
“… … ”
Lee Han was speechless for this very realistic reason.
-But I really want to know your name. Even if you get caught in the punishment room, don’t keep my secret at stake.
The senior wrote seriously.
I was really very curious.
What on earth are you doing? No, is it a freshman?
Lee Han thought.
‘This senior is either deaf or lacks interest in others.’
Earlier, the Black Turtle Tower friends kept saying Wodanaz, Wodanaz, but you didn’t know that.
The Black Turtle Tower students also looked dumbfounded.
But the senior also had a reason.
Unlike the freshmen, the senior was paying attention by constantly looking outside the hallway.
Plus, I was half crazy because of that monstrous new student!
Lee Han thought about it and made a decision.
When he spoke like that, it seemed like he wouldn’t snitch on the skeleton principal.
‘I guess it’s okay if I tell you.’
-I should say it first. I am the blaster of the Moradi family.
“… … ”
“… “My name is Gainando.”
“… !!!”
