Episode 350
Lee Han wiped his tears with a handkerchief. Strangely, my vision was blurry.
‘Is it raining?’
“… It would be better to eat something. “I will get it.”
“no. “We should buy it for you.”
“Even now, the juniors aren’t coming in, but if I take the juniors’ silver coins and buy ice cream, they won’t come in anymore.”
The seniors made Lee Han sit in front of the fountain and walked toward the ice cream stand.
-… So I don’t like it…
-… I can’t give up on this either…
“??”
Lee Han was taken aback when he saw the seniors walking by arguing with the ice cream seller.
‘what? ‘Have you failed to negotiate the price?’
If that was the case, Lee Han thought he should go and help.
“Why are you doing that?”
“ah… “The merchants we know don’t want to accept silver from us.”
“!”
-I cannot receive it. I won’t accept it.
-haha. The healing wizards were wrong. How much do you owe and are you trying to pay for silver?
-you’re right. really. I made a crepe here. Please eat some.
-what? Have the healing wizards of Einrogard arrived?
As the argument continued, the nearby merchants began to flock in.
Merchants who recognized Einrogard’s students brought armfuls of snacks they were selling and placed them on them.
The seniors were at a loss because they didn’t know what to do.
-Fine…
-Oh my god, you’re so skinny that only your bones are visible!
-That’s prejudice…
-Really! You should eat more!
-We are healing wizards, so why are you saying such nonsense?
-Take this too!
The seniors, who had their souls stolen by the flock of merchants, returned with half-distraught faces.
And a mountain of snacks were laid out on the table.
“Eat a lot. Junior.”
“… “Would you like to eat it together?”
“huh. But we work too much and have no appetite. “You need to eat a lot.”
“… … ”
Lee Han thought that he had to eat even if his stomach was full.
‘I’m glad you’re at least popular.’
There were times when warlocks would not accept silver coins when they went to a store, but that had a slightly different meaning.
The healing wizards here were really close to providing hospitality without receiving silver coins.
Seniors held an ice cream cone each and looked at the fountain, played a wizard card game, or laid out a board and rolled dice to do horseback riding.
Everyone’s faces are filled with calm happiness and peace…
Grumble!
“What are you talking about?”
“It looks like there was an accident in the guild area! That’s it! Newly built this time… ”
“There’s smoke rising, isn’t there a fire?!”
“… … ”
The seniors looked down at the floor in silence and then stood up.
“Seniors. no way… ”
“sorry. Wardanaaz.”
“You never know. “The professor might need our help.”
“Thanks to you, I had so much fun today. “I’m glad a junior like you came in.”
“no… !”
Before I could stop them, the seniors rushed to the scene of the accident with each donut in their mouths.
“It’ll be okay because the principal is here… !”
Lee Han cried out sadly, but the seniors just waved their hands and left.
Lee Han, a man with only a mountain of snacks piled up, sighed.
‘If we stay like that for a few more years, no matter how good a person he is, his temper will turn sour.’
The square became quiet as even merchants went to see the accident site.
At that time, a voice came from behind.
“Why are you eating alone like this?”
“… !”
Lee Han turned his head to the familiar voice.
An old wizard who looked like a kind grandmother was standing behind her.
“Yumidihus… !”
“It’s been a while.”
Eumidhus, a famous water element wizard in the empire, sat down in front of Lee Han and pointed to the waffle.
“Of course you can eat it.”
“Thank you.”
There was no movement from Eumidyhus, but the syrup on the table rose up and covered the waffles.
After taking a bite, Eumidhus looked at Lee Han and asked.
“Why are you so nervous?”
“Yeah… ”
Eumidyhus himself was a moderately crazy wizard, but the wizard who came after Eumidyhus was a different story.
“… “Didn’t Professor Bagrek visit Yumidhus to prepare what he needed for the second semester lectures?”
“aha. It did.”
Eumidyhus nodded.
“You were worried that Boladi Bagrek might not have found it.”
“… Ah, yes.”
Lee Han responded while taking care of his facial muscles.
Eumidhus continued as if it was okay.
“I found it well, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“yes… ”
Wow.
“Anyway, I’d like to see water element magic. “Can you show me?”
Lee Han grabbed the cane. Eumidhus spoke in a soft but stern voice.
“Try floating it.”
“Spring up!”
“Shapeshifting.”
“Become a wall!”
“It’s about time we did it all at once. Try it at once.”
Lee Han’s spell casting speed was one of the fastest compared to other wizards.
It was only natural since he was being rigorously trained as a battle mage.
Therefore, when using water element magic, it was not a problem to cast each process separately.
But Eumidhus was slowly telling me to graduate from that too.
All at once like a good wizard.
Lee Han nodded.
‘It’s time to do it.’
Of course, if other friends had heard, they would have said, ‘Wardanaz, come to your senses, you’re still a freshman, it’s time to do something,’ but Lee Han’s thoughts were also slightly broken by the other professors.
“Water, as a shield!”
The action of floating water and converting it into a shield was neatly condensed into one spell and one action.
“That’s great.”
“I was lucky. The most familiar element… ”
“That familiarity came from your efforts, so you shouldn’t say it was luck.”
When Eumidihus waved his hand, the water from the fountain gushed out and turned into a wall.
“Let’s take a look at the rotation properties. “Can you break through this wall?”
“I will try.”
Among the advanced properties of the water element, the rotation property was an property that Lee Han had been practicing consistently since the first semester.
Of course, it wasn’t that easy.
I used it on a limited basis a few times when dealing with Rakshasagui, but I couldn’t help but take time.
In order to properly handle the rotation attribute at Lee Han’s level now, he had to either give up some of his power and finish with an appropriate rotation, or make a decision and save time.
Eumidhus was curious to what extent Lee Han could overcome this problem.
Of course, if you were an average student, you would have had to put in more effort than your second or third year, but isn’t the situation a little different for the student in front of you now?
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“?!”
Eumidyhus was surprised.
Lee Han summoned dozens of water beads.
‘What are you thinking?’
“Turn around!”
With the spell, several of the dozens of water beads lost their shape and disappeared.
Because the rotation property was given clumsily, it could not maintain its shape and the magic was canceled.
Lee Han focused his attention on the ones that were properly rotated among the surviving water beads.
As the rotation became faster, several marbles were canceled again. Lee Han didn’t care and accelerated the remaining marbles.
“… … ”
Eumidhus was honestly impressed.
I wasn’t impressed by Lee Han’s magical talent. I had already admired it before.
What Yumidihus admired was Lee Han’s way of thinking.
No matter how much magical power there was, it was rare for a wizard to utilize it in that way.
To complete one spell, dozens of other spells are used as sacrifices.
From the wizard’s perspective, it was an absurd waste, but for Lee Han, it wasn’t that difficult.
In less than a few minutes, a furiously rotating water bead was completed.
puck!
As the bead easily penetrated the barrier erected by Eumidhus, the old wizard applauded.
“Good job. “Honestly, I was surprised.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han was pleased.
To be honest, I was worried that Eumidhus would say, ‘That’s not enough yet.’
But I was relieved to see that he was so satisfied.
“Of course you did well. “Why are you surprised?”
“There are still many shortcomings… ”
“I see you are not evaluating yourself properly because of Boladi Bagrek. “You are doing well.”
“thank you.”
I always felt good when I heard Professor Boladi swear.
Lee Han bowed his head.
“Originally, I was going to give advice if I was stuck, but it’s that way… “I don’t think I have any advice for you.”
“yes? no. Please give me some advice.”
Lee Han felt unfair.
Isn’t there a good way to do it by floating dozens of marbles like that?
Good advice from a great wizard like Eumidhus would be much more effective than such ignorant methods…
“no. doing well.”
Eumidhus thought that Lee Han’s method was very good.
In the first place, there is no royal road to magic.
In particular, it was important to continue to experience and build up magic where subtle senses are important, such as the rotation property.
The method of floating dozens of marbles like a crazy person and spinning them around like Lee Han did now was surprisingly very effective.
If you continue like that, you will soon be able to realize the rotation property.
“It’s late. sorry.”
When Professor Boladi walked over, Lee Han’s heart sank.
The professor’s clothes were tattered, as if he had walked straight from a battlefield.
‘What on earth did you catch?’
As he was faced with what Professor Boladi had captured in the second semester, fear could not help but well up in Lee Han’s soul.
“Why are you late?”
“Other professors asked me to help clean up the accident scene.”
“It’s surprising that you don’t say no.”
“Gonadaltes also requested it, so I couldn’t refuse it.”
“Gonadaltes?”
Eumidyhus was surprised.
The skeleton principal wasn’t the type of person to step forward and solve such a problem himself.
I usually ordered it from my students or professors…
“Was it that serious?”
“It wasn’t like that. “I think it’s to give students a break.”
Lee Han, who was listening, could not bear it and asked.
“Did the students eventually participate?”
“no. Professor Garcia told me to rest.”
Lee Han was moved.
Eumidhus nodded and said.
“Rest is also important. Honestly, Einrogard’s young healing wizards are overworked.”
“yes. Rest is important.”
“???”
Lee Han stared at Professor Boladi.
Anyone who knows that has ever behaved like that?
“Since we have come to Boladi Bagrek, let’s get to the point. “I came because I heard that you have an aptitude for the cold element.”
Lee Han looked at Professor Boladi again.
Professor Boladi nodded slightly as if he understood the meaning of that gaze.
Lee Han couldn’t even imagine what the other person meant by nodding his head.
“It’s not even aptitude… ”
“If you can summon cold energy, you have an aptitude for it. It is difficult to summon rare elements if you are not suited for them. In any case, the cold element is deeply related to the water element, and applying the two together can be learned in many ways. So, in the second semester… ah. “I shouldn’t have said your name, right?”
Professor Boladi nodded again.
Lee Han stared intently at the professor’s collar. I just wanted to grab it once.
“After catching it, he came here like this.”
“thank you.”
Lee Han was not very dissatisfied with Yumidihus’ proposal.
Unlike other professors, Eumidhus taught relatively common sense.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to stay in the mansion and learn about cold elemental magic.
‘Besides, it will be an excuse when other professors come.’
“Then shall we leave?”
“ah. “Isn’t that what you learn at the mansion?”
“Learning at the mansion is a bit difficult. “There is a tower where a wizard who is indebted to me stays.”
“Are you a disciple?”
“He wasn’t my disciple, but he did receive some teachings from me.”
‘Isn’t that a disciple?’
Lee Han, who was thinking to himself, paused.
Now that I think about it, wasn’t Professor Boladi also a student of Eumidhus?
“Is that person like Professor Bagrek?”
“no.”
“ah. okay.”
Lee Han was relieved.
Until Eumidihus’s next words came out.
“He’s even more rude.”
