Episode 048
“The priests who entered the Tower of the Phoenix are all faithful and good people, but… ”
“Is it possible to do that in a place where people live?”
“Please be quiet because I am praying. Anyway, among those people, there are some who have not yet given up their worldly feelings. “Emotions like competition and jealousy are not helpful to trust.”
Last week, one of the new priests at the Tower of the Phoenix created a fatigue recovery potion for the other priests.
He wanted to use the knowledge he had learned while living in the temple for the benefit of others.
He was truly priest-like.
‘If it were me, I would have sold it for money.’
– Drinking this potion will completely relieve your fatigue. thank you!
-Priest Syanna of the Flemain Church will also be impressed. You did a really good job. Isn’t it better than Priest Siana’s?
While we were laughing and chatting amiably, someone joked.
Rather than a serious comparison, it was closer to a compliment that it was really well made.
Priest Siana also smiled and nodded, and no one felt any discomfort.
… However, the next day, Priest Siana came with a fatigue recovery potion.
-??
-I made it too. Everyone, try it.
-oh. thank you
-That’s really great. Did you make it well?
Also, the next day, Priest Siana came with a fatigue recovery potion.
-thank you… ?
-It’s really great, isn’t it?
Also the next day, Priest Siana came with a fatigue recovery potion.
By then, the priests had realized it too.
-I think the potion made by Priest Sianna is the best… !
-Who can compare!
Only then did Priest Siana come with a fatigue recovery potion.
“… Sir, you seem a little competitive.”
After hearing the anecdote, Lee Han spoke in a tired voice.
Just because he heard a joke, he keeps making potions and bringing them around until he is recognized as the best.
“That’s not the only thing that happened.”
“… … ”
‘Wasn’t it the end?’
A priest who created a fatigue recovery potion before Priest Cyana.
The priest later approached Priest Siana and praised him.
-As expected, he is a priest of Siana. Not everyone can make a potion that good.
Tigiling, who was sitting there, saw clearly.
Priest Siana pretended not to hear anything and left the place.
-… ?!
In the end, it was several days later that Priest Siana accepted the priest’s greeting.
‘How narrow is it?’
Lee Han, who was listening, was astonished.
No, if you say I received a small compliment about a potion…
‘What kind of praise did I hear in the classroom?’
I think I’ve heard all kinds of embarrassing compliments, starting with the genius of alchemy…
Tijeeling, who had said all he had to say, finished his prayer to Prisinga.
Lee Han, who was still not convinced, asked again.
“I don’t think Priest Shianna would poison someone else’s food, right?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Tigiling closed his mouth as if he would not say any more.
Lee Han made his decision.
‘If I move with Priest Shianna, I will never eat the food recommended.’
* * *
Even though pain, despair, and tasks piled up like a mountain, the sun set and rose.
‘Assignments are tasks, but I’m worried about other things.’
There were two things that Lee Han was most worried about right now.
How to break into the White Tiger Tower?
And I have to go to the mountain range behind the school to get alchemy ingredients, but what kind of crazy traps are there in the mountain range?
‘I don’t know which of the two is more difficult.’
But the magic school didn’t have time to worry for long.
The student was immediately sent to the next lecture and squeezed.
>Repetitive learning of basic magic combat> Professor Boladi, who was standing in the classroom, opened his mouth when Lee Han entered.
“You’re 11 seconds late.”
“sorry. “I was late because I had to go to the stables early in the morning and take care of the horses.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. “You are the one who suffers losses by being late.”
‘Where do professors learn how to speak?’
Lee Han sat down with that thought in mind.
There are only two people in a quiet classroom.
Professor Boladi snapped his fingers. Lee Han took out his staff and spun his iron ball.
The struggle against anti-magicists gave Lee Han a clear realization.
The control of low-level manipulation spells was at a level that could not be compared to before.
The iron ball spun in a near-perfect circle at a constant speed.
‘It’s about two years earlier than I expected.’
Professor Boladi thought with an expressionless face.
It was fortunate that Lee Han didn’t hear. If I had heard it, I would have looked serious.
-No, you chose training that requires over 2 years of learning to be able to walk as the first subject of class???
“It’s okay.”
“thank you.”
Lee Han knew very well that when someone like Professor Boladi said ‘It’s okay,’ he meant ‘That’s great!’
I wasn’t expecting praise in the first place.
“I heard you learned water creation magic.”
“yes.”
“Try it.”
“Spring up!”
With the spell, a lump of water appeared in front of Lee Han.
Thanks to Professor Garcia’s corporal punishment, or rather education, I was still able to maintain my shape.
“Reduce it to bead size.”
“I will try.”
Lee Han held on to his cane and concentrated his mind.
The shape of the water lump that appeared in the air was distorted, spouting out here and there, and was distorted.
For Lee Han, who already possessed a huge amount of magical power, it was not normal for him to reduce the amount of water lumps and form them into beads.
Professor Boladi lifted the iron ball in front of Lee Han.
Seeing this, Lee Han felt a strange sense of foreboding.
Whoosh!
With a sharp sound, an iron ball flew into Lee Han’s face.
‘Ah, you crazy professor… !’
Lee Han instinctively compressed the water lump into a bead shape. The huge mass of water was compressed to the size of a fist, and its strength and hardness increased sharply.
Kang!
The flying iron ball collided with the water ball and lost its strength and fell.
“… professor. Are you going to continue doing this in the future?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You just threw a metal ball at me.”
“ah. Was that what you meant? Yes.”
“… “Wouldn’t it be a little dangerous?”
Lee Han tried to persuade Professor Boladi just as he had persuaded the other students.
But Professor Boladi was not as convinced as the students.
“But wasn’t it efficient?”
“yes?”
“Just as it did during the fight against the imperial anti-magicists, the sudden crisis sharpened your concentration and instincts and increased your control over magic. “Why do you want to go back when there is a way like this?”
“… … ”
Lee Han was speechless.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t argue, it was just that I was dumbfounded.
People become speechless when they hear something so ridiculous!
“I think I understand. Now spin it.”
From spiritual stone beads to iron beads, from iron beads to beads made of water.
Spinning the water beads was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
The water produced must be kept in the form of beads and rotated at a constant speed.
I could feel my nerves being strained, just like I felt when fighting the Imperial anti-magicists.
A subtle shape that could not be called a circle was drawn and drawn again in the air.
And Professor Boladi sent an iron ball.
Kang!
Lee Han blocked it right away.
Even though I didn’t have enough control to draw a circle perfectly, I was able to block at least one attack as long as I was alert in advance.
‘I knew this would happen!’
However, Professor Boladi also expected Lee Han to stop him. At the same time, another iron ball flew in the opposite direction.
puck!
“… !”
I quickly turned the water ball, but it was too late. The iron ball was accurately inserted into the back plate. Lee Han gritted his teeth.
‘shit!’
Even though I braced my muscles and held on, I still felt the shock. She remembered the time when she learned swordsmanship from Allar Long.
“Concentration.”
“… … ”
Lee Han didn’t even have time to answer anymore.
Just move the water ball like crazy to avoid the flying metal balls.
One thing was certain.
‘Lectures with lots of assignments are better.’
* * *
“Wardanaz looks very tired.”
“I guess it’s because of the assignment. I also couldn’t sleep well because of the assignment. Besides, Wardanaz is not the kind of person who will only listen to ordinary lectures.”
“Well, the lecture that Wardanaz will take is usually not difficult. “It’s Wardanaz.”
“Anyway, when will we enter the White Tiger Tower?”
“well… ”
>Understanding Basic Magic> The Blue Dragon Tower students gathered in the classroom whispered.
Lee Han’s face, which was leaning back with his eyes closed, looked quite tired.
It was an aftereffect of a life-threatening marble fight with Professor Boladi.
It wasn’t just the Blue Dragon Tower students who were talking. Black Turtle Tower students also made noise.
“Is anyone taking alchemy classes? “I heard you’re going up the mountain tomorrow. Is that true?”
“Has the rumor spread already? okay. “The other top students decided to go up as well.”
“Isn’t there a way out of the mountain?”
‘You’re dreaming in vain.’
Lee Han was saddened by the words of the Black Turtle Tower students.
To think there is a way out.
You will be very disappointed when you find out the truth.
“Wait, so you’re going with Wardanaz? If I make a mistake, I will be punished… ”
“No way, that won’t happen. “We are different towers.”
“… … ”
Lee Han sighed deeply inwardly.
“Nice to meet you all.”
“Hello, Professor!”
When Professor Garcia came in, the students all greeted him politely.
Now the students were feeling it.
Professor Garcia is considered one of the most conscientious people in this school.
What was scarier than the troll was the professor who didn’t know the human mind.
“Until last time, we had been practicing various ways to become familiar with elemental magic. However, in this basic magic understanding class, it is not only elemental magic, but also various magic… You will also briefly learn about illusions, precognition, summoning, transformation magic, etc. “As your grades get higher, you will learn these types of magic professionally.”
The magical world was infinitely wide and so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
It is impossible to learn everything in the world with human abilities.
Naturally, wizards chose a specialized field and studied it.
As Lee Han knew it, he wasn’t that surprised.
“Today we will have time to learn what magic is like in other fields. Instead of me teaching it myself, the professor himself, who is an expert in this field of magic.”
As Professor Garcia spoke, the students’ eyes sparkled with anticipation and curiosity.
There was a field of magic that everyone was interested in.
Some have elemental magic, some have elemental magic, some have enchantment…
‘I hope you are an excellent spirit! I want to learn spirit magic… ‘
‘I came here to learn body strengthening and healing. ‘Teach me strengthening magic.’
“ruler! Come on in.”
When the door opened, the temperature in the classroom suddenly dropped. The students shivered from the sudden cold.
“Nice to meet you all… Cough, Clock. “I am Professor Mortum.”
For a moment, Lee Han thought the professor was a dwarf. However, the professor was only short, and he was of the human race.
Professor Mortum was coughing so much as he spoke that it felt like he would faint from the slightest breeze.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“I think you should go to the hospital rather than lecture…” ”
“Kolok, it’s okay. are you okay… ”
Professor Mortum coughed and spoke softly. one of his students asked, raising his hand.
“Professor, what kind of magic do you teach?”
“I teach black magic.”
“… … ”
“… … ”
The atmosphere was cold and frozen.
Black magic is one of the most disreputable types of magic.
