Episode 106
Yoner, who understood the situation, patted Ihan on the shoulder as if comforting him.
The spirit was like a fickle unrequited love partner, so no matter how good I treated her, there were many times when I couldn’t win her heart.
In that case, I just had to accept it.
“Yoner. “I’m fine.”
“Yes…”
“I’m really fine.”
“Okay, okay.”
Usually, if you put ‘true’ in front of something, it’s often a lie. Yoner decided to just move on.
Nilia was embarrassed when the water spirit clung to her.
Since this was the person Lee Han wanted to sign with, he could not accept it.
“hey. go away! “Sign a contract with Wardanaz over there!”
Nilia pushed the water spirit away, but the water spirit clung to Nilia tenaciously. It seemed like he quite liked it.
That sight made Lee Han a little sad.
‘The only thing I came across was an old thunderbolt spirit.’
But even if it’s sad, there are times when you have to celebrate for your friends.
Lee Han said coldly.
“Nilia. “I think there is a misunderstanding, but I have no intention of making a contract with the water spirit.”
“what? really?”
Nilia perked up her ears in surprise.
“But you tried to ask me to sign a contract earlier.”
“You must have heard wrong.”
Yoner was inwardly impressed.
Lee Han had many different talents, but the talent that could never be imitated was lying shamelessly with that face.
If you tell a lie sincerely without even taking a breath, the person you were suspicious of up until now will be shaken and think, ‘Is that so?’
“Nilia. “I have no interest in that spirit.”
“But… you’ve been wanting to make a contract with a spirit ever since. And the water spirit said it was good too.”
‘I just have a useless memory.’
Lee Han cursed at Nilia.
My memory is probably good when I’m doing assignments, but why do I only remember such trivial things?
“You must be mistaken. Of course, I said I wanted to make a contract with the water spirit. But it was a story about a famous water spirit. “Nilia.”
“ah…!”
Nilia pounded her palm with her fist as if she understood. She definitely had the talent of Wardanaz, but she wasn’t strange.
The water spirit next to me also clapped his hands in surprise, wondering if that was the case.
Lee Han wanted to hit the spirit.
“got it? So, if you want to make a contract with that spirit, you can do whatever you want. Because I don’t care.”
“Uhm… what should I do…”
Nilia was worried.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about making a contract with a spirit, but I didn’t expect it to be this sudden.
“What do you think?”
Ihan and Yoner looked at each other at Nilia’s question.
In their view…
‘Nilia needs more friends.’
‘Wouldn’t it be even better if it was a spirit friend?’
The two finished exchanging opinions and nodded.
“I think it would be good if it were a water spirit.”
“i think so too!”
“If you two say that…”
Nilia nodded. Her water spirit was so happy that she jumped.

After spending the weekend on the island with undead summons, it was possible to feel welcomed by Professor Boladi’s face.
Lee Han was afraid of himself for being so happy to see Professor Boladi.
‘I heard there’s no medicine if you get Stockholm Syndrome.’
“Hello…”
“I used lightning magic last time.”
“……”
Professor Boladi did not exchange greetings with each other and asked whether we had a good rest over the weekend.
I went straight to the point.
“yes…”
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
Actually, I was prepared.
From the moment I met Professor Boladi in front of Professor Garcia, I felt a sad certainty.
-Oh, this professor will also teach lightning magic.
And this sad premonition was never wrong.
“Unlike the water element, not many magicians are good at handling the lightning element.”
“okay.”
“It is more difficult to handle than the water element.”
“yes.”

“But since you used lightning magic last time, you can do the things I teach from now on.”
“……”
Lee Han was about to recommend Professor Boladi to take a look at “Basic Imperial Language and Logic” but ended up recommending it.
‘What kind of logic is this…’
“I heard the story.”
Professor Boladi said while looking at Lee Han.
Lee Han was surprised.
Is he not going to lecture Professor Boladi and just chat with the students, or rather, just chat with them about their daily lives?
They say that if a person suddenly does something they don’t do before, they die…
“They say you defeated Gonadaltes’ summoner, Giorban II.”
“……”
I would have been happy if the skeleton principal had been by my side.
It was a success in making Lee Han angry.
Lee Han was angry at the skeleton principal.
‘How many hours have passed now…!’
I saw the skeleton principal in the morning, and now I’m in Professor Boladi’s classroom after lunch, so I’ve spoken really diligently in that short period of time.
It’s really amazing!
“Yes… I was able to defeat it thanks to what I learned from the professor.”
“That’s natural. And that’s not why I brought it up. “I heard he was ambushed by a summoned beast and his arm was injured.”
‘Damn it.’
Lee Han had a vague idea why the skeleton principal spoke.
“Something unexpected happened.”
“It’s always like that in battle. But no matter what excuses you make after being attacked, the enemy will not listen.”
When Professor Boladi was the most obnoxious, it was when he said something true that couldn’t be refuted.
“So I prepared.”
Lee Han no longer asked, ‘What is that?’
Instead, he held his cane and focused on Professor Boladi’s minute movements.
I planned to respond the moment Professor Boladi started making modifications.
The professor was rather satisfied with Lee Han’s response. A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Sparks flew in the air and a small flash of lightning appeared. And then he took aim at Lee Han.
Lee Han tried to block it first by blowing a water orb, but Professor Boladi canceled it out by equally throwing a water bead.
“!”
I had no choice but to avoid it directly. Fortunately, avoiding the flying lightning was not impossible.
The lightning that shot out in a straight line was much faster than other elements, but it did not reach the speed of an actual lightning strike.
Moreover, the trajectory was straight and simple.
Compared to the ever-changing attacks of swordsmen like Allarlong or Professor Ingalldel, the lightning that flew in a straight line was quite fast but predictable.
Predict the trajectory shown right before it crackles and flies!
Lee Han skillfully tilted his head and completely avoided the lightning.
The lightning bolt passed through Lee Han, hit the wall, and disappeared with a crackling sound.
Professor Boladi nodded slightly as if that was it.
“Do not use magic to block it.”
“…Are you saying I should just avoid it?”
“okay.”
The professor did not give Lee Han a chance to question him and immediately launched his next attack. The number of lightning flashes increased.
Even though Lee Han was avoiding it, he was amazed at himself.
‘Did I dodge this well?’
How much suffering did he have to endure when he came to magic school for his evasion ability to increase like this?
When Lee Han skillfully avoided the attack for several minutes, Professor Boladi spoke as if he knew that would happen.
“As expected, you can do this easily.”
‘…Should I have acted clumsy?’
Lee Han thought, Oops. There was nothing good about showing that you were good at something right away when the professor told you to do it.
However, Professor Boladi was a difficult opponent to pull off such a trick.
Even if you try to trick them, they attack you sincerely, so how can you stop them?
Pop!
Suddenly the classroom became dark. It became so dark that only Professor Boladi’s eyes could be seen.
‘In a dark situation? ‘You’re a professor.’
Lee Han was not surprised.
As Professor Boladi enjoys preparing for all kinds of combat situations, he will naturally test avoiding attacks in dark situations.
…But Lee Han was still looking down on Professor Boladi.
widely-
“What is this?”
Lee Han was puzzled when Professor Boladi threw the handkerchief.
“Cover your eyes.”
Lee Han approached Professor Boladi and tried to cover his eyes. Then the professor spoke again in an emotionless voice without any emotion.
“Not my eyes.”
I thought it was impossible, but I never thought I would have to cover my eyes.
Lee Han, who failed to resist even a little, was shocked.
“…professor. It’s dark enough, but do you really need to cover your eyes? “Wouldn’t it be difficult to avoid it?”
“You can do it.”
Professor Boladi gestured as if he would no longer answer. The handkerchief slid up and covered Lee Han’s eyes.
A dark space where nothing can be seen.
And then there was the sound of sparks flying. Lightning was created.
‘I’m going crazy.’
Lee Han felt fear creeping up.
But I couldn’t stay still just because I was afraid.
As if detecting magic or a wizard’s magic everywhere, Lee Han concentrated on detecting the lightning flashes located around him.
I didn’t know how well it would work, but I had no choice but to do it.
* * *
Professor Boladi crossed his arms and looked at Lee Han.
As Professor Garcia acknowledged (or at least Professor Boladi thought so), Professor Boladi had unwavering confidence in his educational policy.
-If students can’t keep up, it’s not my problem, it’s their problem.
Principal Skeleton wasn’t close to Professor Boladi for nothing.
And unfortunately, Professor Boladi’s confidence was strengthened by meeting Lee Han.
‘The basics of elemental form conversion and elemental control training have been firmly established.’
When Professor Boladi saw Lee Han use lightning magic, he was very happy, although he did not show it.
The difficulty of the lightning element is the highest among the elements.
By using such a lightning element, it was possible to easily proceed with the in-depth process of elemental form conversion and control training.
Originally, I would start using lightning magic right away…
…It should be done, but there was a reason why Professor Boladi gave us training in elemental detection.
It was the testimony of the skeleton principal.
When Professor Boladi heard that Lee Han injured his arm while dealing with an undead summoner, he was greatly shocked.
I can’t believe Lee Han made such a mistake.
Of course, the question had to be asked, ‘Why is a new student fighting a giant undead summon?’, but Professor Boladi did not realize that part.
-What if I were a boy from that Wardanaz family?
Last time, in order to prevent Lee Han from adding rotation properties to water elemental magic, Professor Boladi thought from Lee Han’s perspective for the first time.
This type of reverse massage was not that difficult once you started. Professor Boladi, thinking from Lee Han’s perspective, quickly came to a conclusion.
‘If I were a boy from the Wardanaz family, I would most want to learn the skills of evasion now, not attack and defense.’
It would have been fine to just ask Lee Han, but Professor Boladi didn’t bother to do so and thought about it on his own and came to a conclusion.
In magic combat, dodging is different from attack and defense, but in some ways it is a more advanced and difficult skill.
The key to avoidance is awareness.
Smooth evasion was possible only when it was possible to immediately understand where and how the enemy’s attack was coming from and what properties and structure the magic had.
-The wise man blocks, but the wise man avoids it.
This wasn’t said for nothing.
So how can we improve that cognitive ability?
In fact, the boy from the Wardanaz family was training without realizing it.
If you constantly practice contacting and understanding magic, your cognitive abilities will inevitably improve.
Today, Professor Boladi made us focus only on detection, excluding control and shape.
As a result…
Pot!
Professor Boladi cleared away the flashes of lightning that appeared in the darkness.
Lee Han was out of breath. No matter how physically strong he is, it would be even more strange if he didn’t get tired in this situation.
Surprisingly, the boy from the Wardanaz family completely avoided it.
In the dark where you can’t see anything!
Although Lee Han could not see, Professor Boladi smiled.
In the past, when I heard about the ‘joy of teaching’ from other wizards, I wondered what it meant, but now I think I understand.
Teaching was really fun.
There were a lot more flashes of lightning and small flames in the air than before. Various elements began to appear, including water beads and compressed wind.
Even though Lee Han was blindfolded, he shouted urgently as if he sensed something was unusual.
“professor? professor???”
