Episode 013
“Wardanaz…”
“No, you came to school to learn magic.”
Lee Han made an excuse without realizing it. Asan’s eyes looking at him were full of betrayal.
“Well… I came to learn magic.”
“And think carefully. Do you think the principal will be persuaded by the two of us?”
“That’s true too.”
Asan was convinced.
It certainly seemed like it would be very difficult for Asan to convince Principal Rich.
“I think there’s a 95% chance it will fail.”
“It’s even more surprising that the probability of success is as high as 5%…”
Anyway, when Asan seemed to be convinced, Lee Han concentrated on reading the paper with the explanation of <Lesser Control> magic written on it.
The important things to cast magic are will, spells, and movement.
-Spells that are good for <lesser control> are as follows. Move, move, steer…
“Move. Move. hmm. Is it like this?”
Lee Han chose a spell that suited his taste and then tried to imitate the movements.
It was a light swing of the staff clockwise, but the magic power was collected differently each time.
‘Magic is really… not usually difficult.’
Lee Han once again felt how difficult magic was.
Learning even the simplest magic required a high degree of concentration and practice.
I had to focus my will and burn the intention to cast the magic, memorize the spell to further amplify my magic power, and at the same time, move the accumulated magic power accurately without the slightest error.
It felt like I had to perform the trick of turning a plate with each hand while riding a unicycle.
“Wardanaz. “But Professor Kim told you not to practice magic outside the classroom, right?”
“But the principal told me to do it. “The principal is higher.”
“indeed…”
Asan was convinced once again.
Of course, just because I understood it, it didn’t mean that magical power that wasn’t there suddenly appeared.
After about four attempts, Asan stumbled and lay down on his side.
“Ugh… I’m sorry. Wardanaz. “Suddenly I got motion sickness… ugh.”
“Things like that happen, too. “Lay down.”
Either way, Lee Han was immersed in <low level manipulation>.
“Move, move, move, move!”
I felt like the magic power gathered at the tip of the wand was shooting out with a pop.
The target is a feather pen.
The feather pen that was hit by the spell flinched or trembled.
‘I think there’s a problem with my movements.’
Lee Han’s weapon has an overwhelming amount of magical power.
While the others were tired after using the spell a few times and took a break, Lee Han was able to practice the spell regardless.
widely-
Lee Han placed a mirror in front of him and began to cast a spell. The purpose was to see the difference in movement with one’s own eyes.
‘Are you swinging a little less here? Let’s swing a little less. I think things have gotten a little better. Is this the next one?’
“Wardanaz. “Are you sure it’s okay?”
Asan, who was lying down, groaned and asked. Lee Han nodded.
“As expected, the Wardanaz family… ugh. “I’m dizzy and can’t turn my head…”
“Move!”
For a moment, Lee Han felt that his mind was linked to the feather pen.
It felt as if a third hand had reached out and grabbed the feather.
The feather pen, which had only flinched or trembled before, began to float gently.
Now all I have to do is focus and control it.
‘Slow down, don’t rush…’
phut! There was a small sound of firecrackers exploding, and the feather pen was shot out like a dart.
Then it flew out the open window.
“……”
“What… what did you do?”
“…the feather pen flew away??”
“Wow… that’s great, but Wodanaz!? “Did you succeed in magic?!”
“No, it hasn’t succeeded yet.”
<Lesser Manipulation> is a telekinesis-type 1st circle magic that allows you to delicately control small and light objects.
…Although Lee Han doesn’t know much about magic, shooting the feather pen like he just did was definitely a failure.
‘This spell had two obstacles to overcome.’
<Level Manipulation> did not end with correctly matching the movements and successfully completing the spell.
After that, I had to concentrate and control the object.
Lee Han succeeded in the first attempt, but he has not yet succeeded in the second.
‘But it’ll be okay. Since the spell was successful, the control itself won’t be that difficult.’
phut!
phut!
Pang pang pang pang pang pang!
“……”

Asan Dalkad looked at Lee Han with a shocked expression.
A feather pen flew off and became lodged in the wall next to it.
“Woah… Wardanaz…”
“…sorry.”
Lee Han regretted the confidence he had just had.
Surprisingly, detailed control was not possible.
As soon as I thought to move it even a little, the feather pen flew away.
Almost memorization level!
‘No way… I guess it’s not because of magical power.’
Lee Han remembered what Professor Garcia Kim had told him.
I was told that there would be some inconvenience in casting magic because I have a lot more magical power than ordinary people…
‘Let’s try one more time.’
Dalkak-
Well, did you use your money hard today? It’s okay to be happy! I’ll use magic for the rest.
The door opened and Principal Rich appeared.
ping!
And Lee Han’s feather pen flew towards Principal Rich’s forehead.
“Wardanaz…!”
At that moment, Lee Han became a hero to Asan Dalkad.
A new student is sniping at the principal.
It’s really so cool!
* * *
To my great surprise, Principal Richie wasn’t angry.
I found it much faster than I thought. I’ll admit that it’s a very decent iron head.
“oh. “So then I don’t have to take these pointless notes from now on?”
no. If you guys don’t learn magic, you will continue to waste time pointlessly.
Asan Dalkad glared at the principal. The principal grinned as if he was very happy.
Lee Han asked cautiously.
“Respected principal!”
Where does the sound of sweet flattery come from? What?
“Can I ask you about the piloting tips?”
Looking at what you did earlier, it looks like the spell itself was successful. Was it difficult to control?
“yes.”
Many new wizards are like that.
“ah. Is that so?”
Lee Han was relieved.
I thought it was because I had a lot of magical power, but it was something that everyone who learns magic for the first time experiences.
haha! It’s a lie!
“……”
It is difficult to order, but control usually only takes one or two times. There is no one who can blow away like an arrow like you. What can I do? You have to work hard and take care of yourself.
‘The other person is the principal. The other person is the principal. The other person is the principal…’
Lee Han struggled to control his expression. Principal Rich was very disappointed to see that.
It was very funny that Asan Dalkad, like a young boy, got angry when poked, but the young boy of the Wardanaz family was unusually patient, as if an old man had entered the room.
However, there is nothing to be too scared of. The more you use magic, the more it increases. Go and have lunch!
* * *
Thanks to the fact that I was held until lunch time after the morning lecture, all the other freshmen had gone to attend other lectures or had gone looking for them.
Asan Dalkad seemed to have not recovered much of his magic and left to go to the hospital to rest.
‘I guess I should eat lunch too.’
Lunch was just hard black bread and cold rice balls, but Lee Han was still much better. Because there was meat that I caught and smoked last time.
‘I guess I’ll have to look for some vegetables or fruits outside…’
I wasn’t sure at first, but I seriously thought that the principal had prepared it for that.
Wouldn’t students who are smart enough to go around looking for something to eat?
“…Wodanaz.” “?”
Lee Han turned his head when he heard a voice calling him.
Long flowing silver hair and a cold look that makes you flinch the moment you meet him.
Princess Aden Arth was standing in front of the hallway.
“What is it?”
Instead of answering, Adenart pointed to the paper he was holding.
“…ah!”
Lee Han realized why the princess was calling him.
Since he had helped the princess in an alchemy class last time, he had asked a favor from the princess, who had a much wider network of connections than Lee Han.
‘I asked you to find some useful lectures.’
Except for the required lectures, new students at Einrogard had to find and take the remaining subjects on their own.
However, for freshmen to find such things on their own is like picking a star in the sky.
Since we were unable to meet with second-year students, information exchange was essential, even among freshmen, in order to find out.
The princess held out the paper with her characteristic blunt expression.
“thank you. …hmm?”
Lee Han, who had happily received the paper and read it, paused.
-List of popular lectures-
<Understanding basic alchemy>
<Basic Imperial Linguistics>
<Basic dance and socializing>
…
First of all, ‘Understanding Alchemy’ was suspicious, and the names of the other lectures were somewhat different from what Lee Han had thought.
And not ‘good for getting good grades’ but ‘popular’?
“Um, princess?”
“?”
“What exactly do you mean by popular lectures?”
“??”
The princess seemed embarrassed for a moment, her expression slightly falling and her eyebrows raised.
Lee Han felt the need to explain further.
“The princess. What I was asking about was a course that was good for getting good grades, not a popular course. In fact, it would be easier to get a grade for an unpopular course.”
As a prepared student, Lee Han was not swayed by popularity or rumors.
Popular lectures -> Classes where it is difficult to get good grades because so many talented people flock there.
Unpopular course -> A course that gets good grades because there are few competitors.
Of course, the princess did not agree with Lee Han’s unique theory.
“……”
Aden Arth looked at Lee Han in disbelief.
I was really looking for a lecture that I could eat raw.
I couldn’t figure out why someone from the Wardanaz family was looking for such a lecture.
Adenart was disappointed without realizing it.
When I first saw him in alchemy class, Wardanaz had the most noble appearance…
Sze-
Adenart held out another piece of paper.
While I was organizing it, it was a list of unpopular lectures I took note of to avoid them.
-List of unpopular lectures-
<Basic swordsmanship>
<Basic physical training>
<Repetitive learning of basic magic combat>
…
‘Oh oh.’
Lee Han was impressed by the list.
The smell of an unpopular lecture was already in the air.
First of all, swordsmanship.
There weren’t many people who came to the magic school and wanted to learn new swordsmanship.
Even if you devote yourself to magic, you won’t have enough time, so who would want to learn swordsmanship?
Physical training was also similar. Time was tight for magic alone, so no one wanted to use their bodies needlessly.
It wasn’t for nothing that wizards were made fun of for being weak.
<Repetitive Learning of Magic Combat> was also bound to be unpopular.
Learning magic was to realize great truths and learn how to change the world, not to be good at fighting.
If that was the case, it would have been better to join a knight or swordsman guild and receive training.
Students here may have come in with different dreams and goals, but none of them will come here with the goal of becoming the best in magic fighting.
The most important thing was learning magic, but using that magic in battle was not that important.
‘But what do you know?’
Of course, Lee Han didn’t care about such perceptions at all.
Swordsmanship and physical training were areas that Lee Han was confident in, right from the start.
Even before entering the magic school, I had been consistently trained under Allarlong.
And so was the repetitive learning of magic combat.
There was no harm in learning how to fight with magic.
Wouldn’t that mean one more way to protect one’s life?
It’s easy to get grades in a course with less competition…
“thank you. Princess.”
“……”
Instead of answering, Aden Arth nodded with an expressionless face.
There was a slight hint of disappointment and contempt on his face, but Lee Han was so focused on the lecture that he didn’t notice.
“Then see you next time!”
Lee Han quickly turned around and left. The princess was about to say something, but she let out a small breath and turned around.
