Episode 352
Eumidhus clicked his tongue at his disciple’s trash talk.
Of course, it didn’t reach Alcicle’s ears. Alsikl had the ability to ignore those who criticized him.
‘Such an ugly sound.’
Of course, magic wasn’t all about circles.
Circle was the simplest unit, not the most accurate unit.
But the shamelessness of changing one’s words when one is pushed out after bringing up the circle first is really…
‘I guess that’s why I still can’t come to my senses.’
If it had been anyone else, he would have been shaken by embarrassment, but Alcicle was as solid as an iceberg.
I immediately changed the topic and asked a question.
“What is more important than the circle is the area of the magic. When I was your age, I learned ice elemental magic, as well as transmutation and summoning magic. “Do you understand?”
“I think it would be best to stop. “Alsicle.”
Eumidhus opened his mouth for his disciple.
I wanted to help Alcicle come to his senses, but I didn’t want to make him wake up too badly.
What if Alcicle throws himself into that glacier cliff out of shame if he makes a mistake?
However, Alsicle misunderstood what Eumidhus meant.
“no. Yumidhus. This needs to be pointed out. Otherwise, the young wizard of the empire might get hurt.”
“… … ”
It was even more surprising because I could feel that the other person was truly thinking that way, rather than being pretentious.
‘I wouldn’t have been hurt this much.’
When I came to Einrogard, there were many things that would hurt me more than that.
“I’m saying this because Wardanaz here is more familiar with magic than you. “Alsicle.”
“… Do not lie!”
Alcicle shouted, waving his short arms like a penguin.
However, when Eumidhus glared at him, he immediately corrected his posture and changed his words.
“Well, don’t lie.”
The memory of being beaten was still vivid in my body.
“How do you master magic more widely than I do? It’s impossible. “What did you learn?”
“Let’s see.” Dark magic, summoning magic, illusion magic, enchantment magic, precognition magic, transformation magic, healing magic… ”
“So which of them did you learn?”
Alcicle asked in a slightly brusque voice.
“You are talking about what you have learned now.”
“… yes?”
Alcicle was so shocked that he stood still for several minutes.
Lee Han, who could not see anything, whispered.
“Can I leave it like that?”
Professor Boladi nodded silently and answered.
“Penguin beasts are resistant to the cold.”
“no… “That’s not what I meant.”
The question was not whether I would freeze to death, but whether I was mentally okay.
Fortunately, Eumidyhus came to the rescue.
“Alsicle!”
“… … ”
“Do you want to get beaten up again?”
“no! no!”
The dazed face of the penguin beast wizard came back to his senses.
“What does it matter who excelled when I was young? The only thing that matters is what kind of magic you are doing now. Wardanaz here has come to teach you cold elemental magic. So stop talking nonsense and teach me cold elemental magic.”
“But it matters a lot who excelled as a child… ”
“… … ”
Eumidihus suppressed a hint of anger at the sight of Alcicle holding on to his ankle even though he was trying to move on happily.
Professor Boladi opened his mouth.
“I will give you the answer.”
“what?”
“Wodanaz here is superior. “I guess that’s enough now.”
“… … ”
“… … ”
Eumidhus thought to himself as he saw Voladi pouring oil into the burning flame tower.
‘I thought I would have left Boladi Bagrek behind.’
“Me, better than me? Boladi Bagrek, are you serious? sincerely!? “Didn’t you go crazy because you were overworked at Einrogard!?”
Lee Han was slightly surprised to see the penguin beast unexpectedly stabbing at the truth.
How did know?
“Wardanaz is better in terms of circle and range.”
“huh… Applications! Application advanced properties will be different!”
Alcicle thought for a while and then shouted.
Since I couldn’t compete with range or circle, I planned to compete with my skill in applying magic.
“I learned the form transformation of the water element at that age! Boladi bagrek!”
“… “Can’t you just say I lost?”
Lee Han, who was tired of this fight, whispered, but Professor Boladi ignored him and answered.
“Wardanaz has mastered shape-shifting.”
“I’m currently learning about rotation and evaporation properties.”
“… … ”
Alcicle covered his head in disbelief as the two wizards attacked the harsh truth.
Then it cried out and tried to run towards the cliff.
“Nonsense! A genius greater than me… “You can’t do that!”
“That one again!”
Eumidihus summoned a whip of water, grabbed Alcicle by the ankles, knocked him down, and bound him.
When the situation was resolved, Yumidihus looked at Lee Han and apologized.
“sorry. “Alsicle is a bit emotional.”
‘it’s okay.’
“It doesn’t seem like much.”
By mistake, my true feelings came out in the opposite direction. Eumidyhus sighed in understanding.
* * *
The inside of Alcicle’s Magic Tower was full of cold.
It felt even colder because of the barren appearance without any furniture or equipment.
Lee Han was puzzled by the appearance of the workshop, which was a bit different from the one he had seen at Einrogard.
“Do I need to pack less in order to learn cold magic?”
“No. Because research was blocked, the items inside were probably sold to pay for the experiment. “It’s a common thing to see in magic towers built by wizards.”
The wizards who built the magic tower to see the end of magic didn’t just say that they would dominate the surroundings once they got enough of it.
Researching magic was such an arduous and difficult task.
It’s a good thing that the research ends as quickly as expected, but if it continues, the cost increases, the mind becomes exhausted, and life becomes difficult…
I became even more distressed when I received letters from fellow wizards asking how my research was going.
Then, you might wonder, ‘Can’t we just occupy the surrounding villages? If I occupy it well, won’t anyone find out? If you just take over and complete the magic… ‘The same thought crept into my mind.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
Alcicle was sad, shedding tears like chicken shit.
Since he was sitting inside the magic tower while bound by the magic of Eumidyhus, to anyone looking at him, he looked like a wizard who had been subdued by robbers.
“I can’t believe there was a wizard more talented than me. “I was nothing.”
“Alsicle. I told you so. It’s not an early achievement… ”
“Eumidihus, who came up through effort without talent, does not know my heart!”
“… … ”
“… … ”
Eumidhus motioned for Lee Han to leave for a moment. Lee Han nodded his head and was about to go out.
“professor. “Please come out.”
“Why?”
“… “Just come out.”
Lee Han tried to grab Professor Boladi by the collar, but then grabbed his wrist and dragged him away.
Then a dull sound rang out from inside.
– Wrong! You were wrong, Yumidihus!
“You can come in.”
“yes.”
Lee Han came in and stood as if nothing had happened.
“Hehehehehehehehehehehe…” ”
“Now that you’ve been hit a lot, come to your senses and teach me ice element magic.”
“Ehhhh! Ugh! “Ugh!”
Normally, Alcicle would have listened to what was said here, but today he seemed to be particularly shocked, so he just cried and ignored Eumidihus’ words.
Seeing that, Eumidhus regretted whether he had shocked him too much.
It was Alsicle who had enormous pride in his own talent.
The stress must have been great these days as magic research has been blocked, and since even what little pride he had has been shattered, the shock to Alcicle’s personality will be many times greater.
“It won’t work. “Let him go out again.”
“… Uh, are you going to lose again?”
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed.
Lee Han didn’t know much about Rcicle, but he knew that the current problem couldn’t be solved by defeating him.
“It’s not about losing. “I prefer the term magical teachings.”
“… “Whatever it is, I think we need to persuade him through conversation now.”
“Wardanaz.”
Eumidhus looked at Lee Han with pity.
“There are times in the world there are people with whom you cannot communicate.”
As he spoke, Eumidyhus glanced ever so slightly at Voladi.
Lee Han also glanced at Boladi slightly.
“But will you give me one more chance to convince you?”
“but. “You are also learning under Boladi Bagrek.”
“… I guess it has nothing to do with that, but… ”
I was a little concerned because Yumidihus seemed to think of Lee Han as a “disciple expert” or something.
“Pengerin.”
Alcicle cried quietly and did not answer.
“It doesn’t matter whether I learned 3-circle magic or 4-circle magic in first grade. Gonadaltes also says that the important thing is not the magic circle… ”
“You’re saying that because you’re more talented than me! yes? “You’re looking down at me!”
“… … ”
Lee Han was astonished to see Rcicle in more serious condition than expected.
However, Lee Han is someone who has dealt with many people who are crazier than Rcicle.
I was never swayed by such provocation.
“Pengerin. “I am so sad.”
Lee Han suddenly covered his face with his hands and blushed.
If the other person came out in tears, I thought I would come out in tears too.
“Do you know why Eumidhus brought me here? “That’s because I have earnestly requested several times that I want to learn from Pengelin.”
“????”
“?”
Eumidhus and Voladi looked at him as if asking what nonsense he was talking about, but Lee Han laid down the iron plate and continued talking.
“I have heard time and time again about Pengelin’s amazing achievements. Do you know how I learned the 4th circle spell? “I achieved this by trying to follow in some small way the achievements of Pengelin.”
“Well, then that magic too?”
“yes.”
Alsicle, whose energy had returned with interest, listened and tilted his head.
“… Anyway, isn’t that too much?”
“… … ”
Lee Han hesitated to slap Alcicle’s soft cheek while he was tied up, but he held back.
“I thought I would have to do that much to reach Pengelin.”
“Still, I feel like I’m learning too much.”
“… Anyway, that’s how much I respected him. “But you don’t want to teach me, so you use this trick.”
“Are you saying it’s a trick?”
Alcicle asked in bewilderment.
“If it wasn’t a trick, there’s no way Alcicle would show you like this. “I guess they’re doing this because they don’t like me.”
“… “I got caught!”
Alcicle, whose energy had fully recovered, let out a sigh without even realizing it.
Eumidihus had to suppress the urge to punch his shameless disciple in the face.
“It’s really amazing. “You noticed my acting.”
“No matter how well you act, it’s not easy for a genius to act like a fool.”
“good. There’s nothing you can do about it once you’re caught. Please wait there! “I’ll teach you some ice element magic.”
When Alcicle regained his energy, stood up and waddled inside, Eumidyhus looked at Ihan and spoke quietly.
“I see why you can become Voladi Bagrek’s disciple.”
“… “Did I make some mistake?”
* * *
Alcicle spread the reagents on the floor and had Lee Han climb on top of them.
Eumidhus, who had been watching without thinking, was surprised to see the reagents on the floor.
Each of these reagents were too expensive.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like it was prepared to be used for research… ?
“Can I do that?”
“yes?”
When Boladi asked, Eumidhus pointed out the price of the reagents.
“We need to research Rcicle too, but if we use up all those reagents… ”
“it’s okay.”
“ah. Have you checked inventory? You can use that… ”
Professor Boladi shook his head and answered.
“It’s Alcicle Pengerin’s business, isn’t it?”
“… for a moment! for a moment!”
Regretting that he had been a fool for listening to Voladi Bagrek even for a moment, Eumidhus went out to stop Alcicle.
