Episode 214
“If you start a fire… ”
The White Tiger Tower students whispered. He seemed to be seriously considering Gai Nando’s words.
“Quit. You idiots. “If the library was going to be shut down because a first grader started a fire, it would have been destroyed a long time ago.”
Giselle said bluntly. The White Tiger Tower students were openly disappointed.
Still, Gainando did not give up.
“If you fire harder… “Can’t Lee Han scream?”
“hey. Cainan Island. “What kind of dragon is Wardanaz?”
“Hey, everyone. “You can’t set fire to the library.”
Professor Garcia said, embarrassed by the students’ disturbing conversation.
The students nodded.
“of course. professor.”
“There’s no way we could start a fire.”
“… You really shouldn’t do it. “I might have to stay in the punishment room even during vacation.”
“… … ”
“Well, we really don’t start fires. “It’s real.”
The fear of being locked in a punishment room even when vacation came made students more afraid than any other threat.
So much so that even the most radical student gave up on setting fire to those words.
‘It’s a big deal.’
Lee Han was deep in thought.
Surprisingly, professors have rarely used library books so far out of consideration for their students, so in the future, the use of library books will increase.
It was not simply a matter of lectures becoming more difficult and more content to study.
In Einrogard, going into the library, finding a book, and getting out was a challenge in itself.
It took me a year just to find the book near the entrance, but the book deeper…
‘Can’t I just go out and get it?’
Of course, there are some rare magic books that are only found in the magic school’s library, but aren’t some of them sold outside as well?
Just open the front door and you can go and get it!
“professor. Come on in.”
Professor Garcia must have thought that today’s lecture should proceed quickly before the students become more desperate, so he opened the door and called the professor outside.
‘Spirit mixed blood?’
Lee Han felt a spirit-like energy as he saw the professor coming in with sparkling eyes.
Just as among the students there were spirits, angels, and demons, it would not be surprising if some of the professors had mixed blood.
‘I don’t think it’s a spirit.’
“Professor Passelette Kraer. “He is a master of foresight magic.”
“!”
Precognitive magic.
It was one of the most difficult and difficult types of magic.
While staying at the Lee Hando family’s mansion, I heard a lot of knowledge about other magic, but I only heard fragmentary and brief snippets about foresight magic.
-A foresight wizard stepped forward to solve the theft of the ruby necklace that occurred in the Jojeon family. The location of the ruby necklace was guessed by fortune telling using coins…
-Did you hear that those picky merchants took a bag of gold coins and knelt down in front of the wizard? I never thought they would ask for just one fortune telling.
-It is said that a wizard with excellent foresight can know what he will eat for lunch when he wakes up in the morning.
-The talent required for foresight magic is completely different from the talent required for other magic. The only shining light is intuition.
Although he did not yet know exactly what kind of magic it was, Lee Han was quite interested in foresight magic.
‘I heard that outstanding precognitive wizards are that popular?’
Wizards who could change reality with their will were feared and respected even in the empire, but among them, outstanding precognitive wizards were especially respected.
Everyone is afraid of the uncertain future.
How can we not respect someone who knows how to read the future?
Lee Han had no desire to master the future, but he had a desire to go somewhere and say, ‘I am a wizard who has mastered the magic of foresight.’
I would be treated much better than being called a warlock.
-I am a precognitive wizard.
-Oh my! A great wizard has come to town! Mr. Wizard. Could you possibly predict my child’s future?
-I am a warlock.
-… hey. You locked the gate to the cemetery in our village, right?
“Professor Craer?”
When Professor Garcia called, Professor Cryer was blank and then nodded.
“… professor. “I asked you to visit today as an honest person.”
“It did. But the future is unknown.”
“professor. “I asked for it.”
Professor Garcia’s voice was powerful.
Professor Craer’s eyes flashed and his expression suddenly changed.
“ah. okay. Precognitive magic. “I decided to give a lecture.”
‘… Multiple personalities?!’
Lee Han was quite surprised to see Professor Kraer acting so sincerely as if he had changed.
‘Well, it’s not a strange thing.’
All professors had multiple personalities to a greater or lesser extent.
Professor Kraer thought it was a bit harsh.
“Please take care of everyone. It’s Passelette Cryer. He’s a banshee mix. “I majored in precognitive magic.”
“Please take care of me. professor!”
The students greeted each other in unison.
Professor Craer shook his head to get rid of the messy hair covering his face, as if annoyed.
“Does anyone know anything about Zundare Dolfram?”
Asan, who was next to Lee Han, raised his hand and shouted.
“He is a great wizard who laid the foundation for imperial precognitive magic!”
“You’re smart. “Do you know that Dolfram Joon committed suicide in the year 131 of the Imperial Calendar?”
“uh… no?”
“I see. Just be aware. “I wonder if anyone knows about Kelten Inan, Zundare Dolfram’s disciple?”
This was a wizard that Lee Han had also heard of. Several people, including the princess, raised their hands. Even Cainan Island.
Lee Han was surprised.
“Do you know Kelten Inan?”
“Lee Han. “It’s the main card of my deck.”
“ah. sorry. “I didn’t know because it always ended before I came out.”
Gainando was wheezing and looked at Lee Han with tearful eyes. Lee Han apologized with such a sincere and angry expression.
“I’m not saying you can’t do it… “It’s a game that depends on luck.”
“Yeah, right? right? It has nothing to do with skill, right?”
“okay. “Maybe precognition magic will help.”
Meanwhile, another student answered instead. Professor Craer nodded his head.
“good job. By the way, did you know that Kelten Inan committed suicide in the year 241 of the imperial calendar?”
“… no?? You went missing… Wasn’t it?”
“What about disappearance? If there are records of missing, missing, or loss of contact in the records of precognitive wizards, I consider it a suicide. ruler. Like I just said… Zundare Dolfram, the great wizard who laid the foundation for the Empire’s precognitive magic, committed suicide in the year 131 of the Imperial Calendar. His disciple Kelten Inan committed suicide in the year 241 of the Imperial Calendar. Now it’s your turn to learn the magic of foresight.”
“… … ”
“… … ”
‘It seems colder than last week.’
Lee Han couldn’t help but admire the professor’s ability to make the school colder than the frost giant king with just a few words.
* * *
Despite the warnings, Professor Kraer’s lecture was not that dangerous or difficult.
In fact, compared to other professors’ lectures, it was a bit easier.
Instead of doing something or avoiding the incoming attack, all I had to do was listen to the explanation.
“Actually, foresight is a skill that even non-magicians can do to some extent. A student who comes to class without eating anything in the morning knows that he or she will be hungry by the end of the class. “Despite Professor Garcia’s request, the professor who came to the classroom with a lazy personality knew what would happen to him after the lecture.”
“Professor Craer. “Students will misunderstand.”
In response to Professor Garcia’s warning, Professor Craer paid a little more attention and spoke.
“Reading the future using past information and current judgment. That’s foresight. The reason a wizard’s foresight is special is because they can retrieve and judge information that ordinary people cannot capture. “It’s information that even the wizard himself doesn’t realize.”
According to the professor, precognitive magic was largely divided into foreknowledge of the near future and foretelling of the distant future.
Predicting the near future, that is, a few seconds in the future, was a fairly intuitive, accurate, and relatively easy magic.
However, predicting the future for more than a few hours was a difficult magic that increased uncertainty and placed a huge burden on the wizard himself.
“You there. “What did you feel here?”
Asan was embarrassed when asked the question.
“yes… “Precognitive magic is so profound and endless that it must be pursued endlessly?”
“No. If you don’t want to go crazy, just predict the near future. Especially when asked to do so by someone else. “If you keep trying to predict the distant future, you end up like Dolphram, Kelten Inan, and Pearljun.”
“professor. This is my first time hearing about a magician named Pearl Jun… ”
“You probably didn’t hear it because you were dead. So today, let’s predict the distant future.”
“???”
Lee Han was puzzled.
The other students tilted their heads as if it was the same.
They say you shouldn’t predict the distant future?
Professor Craer was cool.
“If you don’t tell me not to do something, you’re not a wizard. “Wouldn’t it be better for you to collapse in front of me now than to vomit blood and collapse while secretly predicting the final exam questions?”
“… … ”
“indeed.”
“What is this?!”
When Lee Han nodded in understanding, Asan was shocked.
What is that… !
‘I think he’s considerate at that level.’
A magic circle was laid out in front of the students, and various stones were arranged in a disorderly manner.
According to Professor Kraer, the more skilled you become in precognitive magic, the more you will find a divination method that suits you.
Of course, freshmen who didn’t have anything like that chose stone dots, which were the easiest.
“Hold the stone, recite the spell, and throw it lightly. “The goal is what you will be doing one day later.”
“Can’t we find out in about a day?”
Gainando whispered. Professor Craer said expressionlessly.
“It is said that a great precognitive wizard can know what he will eat for lunch when he wakes up in the morning. The future is just one day away. Stop talking nonsense… Throw it!”
Sigh-
Spells were cast along with the sound of stones being thrown everywhere.
“Colorful stones, show me tomorrow.”
“Red, blue, green stones. Tomorrow’s me… ”
The students who cast the spell first stared blankly at the scattered stones.
And then he tilted his head.
“Is it over?”
“If no image comes to mind, you have failed. “An image has to come to mind.”
“Can I do it again?”
“of course.”
Professor Craer grinned.
At that moment, the student who spoke fell to the side.
thud!
“Ugh… !”
“Seeing the future comes at a price. “If it’s just horsepower, it’s cheap.”
“You didn’t see it, right?”
“okay. I didn’t see it, so that’s it. “If you see something, you can’t even moan.”
“… … ”
The students who were about to swing their wands began to hesitate, perhaps out of fear.
No matter how attractive the foresight magic is, at this point it just looks like suicide magic.
“Did you do well? Professor Garcia?”
“You could have done it a little more delicately… You’ve received the right warning. “Good job.”
“You have to do this to make students seriously careful. Precognition magic is originally good for vomiting blood if you learn it alone… for a moment! what are you doing!”
Professor Craer looked sharply at Lee Han and shouted.
It wasn’t enough to try fortune-telling once, so he tried it twice.
How can you do something like that after seeing another student collapse?
He must have been a student who was either quite bold or arrogant due to his own talent.
Lee Han answered hesitantly.
“To this extent… “I think it’ll be okay.”
“I think the magicians who are behind will be fine. Professor Garcia. portion!”
“I guess that’s okay… ”
“?!?”
Professor Craer was astonished when the good Professor Garcia showed indifference to a matter that was directly related to the student’s life.
There was no doubt that it was a sign that the world would be destroyed.
