Episode 014
‘It’s a shame.’
Lee Han felt regretful.
Friends in the same dormitory could not accept Lee Han’s unique theory.
-Work… Are you going to take an unpopular course on purpose? why? Is it noble to listen to a lecture that no one is listening to?
-<Repetitive learning of basic magic combat>? Ah. sorry. I already have a class to take at that time. Jin, it’s true. It’s not a lie.
-Wardanaz. Why on earth would you throw your time in the trash? I don’t understand. From what I learned from the Dalkad family…
But what can you do?
The path a righteous person walks is lonely.
Later, when midterms, final exams, and assignments begin to suffocate, friends will remember Lee Han’s foresight.
In any school, professors do not have human hearts.
Although students attend other lectures, they are ruthless and iron-blooded and selfish, wanting to focus only on their own lectures!
So, in order for students to focus on the lectures they really liked, they had to support them with some raw food.
So-called selection and concentration.
The way any school in the world operates is similar.
‘Is it here?’
Lee Han entered the main door of the main building and found the basement stairs.
The classroom where repetitive learning of basic magic combat was taught was on the first basement floor.
“…It’s spooky.”
Lee Han muttered without realizing it.
A huge staircase appears when you pass through the main entrance of the main building.
There seemed to be nothing particularly strange about the Gothic staircase, which was neither overly luxurious nor overly plain.
Nevertheless, the ominous feeling may have been due to Lee Han’s knowledge.
‘I told you not to roam around carelessly in the Wizard’s Tower.’
A famous saying that both magicians and non-mages in the Empire know.
-You can’t wander around carelessly in the Wizard’s Tower.
Even though it looks normal on the outside, I don’t know what kind of magic is there, so I thought, ‘What’s on the second floor?’ If I went up, I might end up trapped in an eternal labyrinth and never be able to return.
Some of the fairy tales read in Lee Han’s family were about children trapped in an evil wizard’s tower and barely escaping.
Lee Han, who had not yet adapted to this world, innocently asked this question.
-This fairy tale is an exaggeration, right?
-That’s a bit of an exaggeration. young master.
– Right? No matter what, going missing after going to the second floor…
-yes. Non-experts who enter the Wizard’s Tower can never escape. If it were real, the children here would have died of old age while trapped.
-……
Young Lee Han was shocked to hear that it was a common occurrence for people to go upstairs on their own and then go missing.
The Wizard’s Tower, which contained all kinds of mysteries, was a cave of that level.
…And this magic school, Einrogard, is like a place where numerous wizard’s towers are combined.
The risk was impossible to predict.
In fact, among the new freshmen, there were very few people who walked around and explored the school.
Even though it may be a time when you are new and are overflowing with curiosity!
Everyone knows about it, either because they heard it directly from their families or through hearsay.
Just because you’re new, if you search around the building, you could find yourself dead.
‘no way. Still, the first basement floor would be fine…’
Lee Han gathered his strength to shake off his fear.
In fact, the notoriety of the Wizard’s Tower has been greatly exaggerated.
Even though I wandered around the first floor of the main building and the dormitories, nothing much happened.
At that time, a familiar sound of bones crashing was heard.
Rattling, rattling-
uh. what. Are you going to the first basement floor? Aren’t they going to find the body tomorrow?
“……”
Hearing the kind words from Principal Rich as he passed by, Lee Han was speechless.
‘Oops.’
“Respected principal! “It’s an honor to meet you!”
Lee Han just lowered his head.
Graduate students are able to smile on the outside even when resentment and hatred are welling up in their hearts.
Lee Han’s polite greeting was in keeping with the etiquette of a noble nobleman.
Principal Rich nodded happily.
What do you know?
“yes. “I’m about to go to the first basement floor. Is there anything you can teach me?”
does not exist. If the body is found tomorrow, I will give you a flower.
‘pup.’
* * *
Despite being so scary, the first basement floor was ordinary.
There were classrooms on both sides of the wide hallway, and there were no corpses, undead, or other dangerous monsters in sight.
Although it was a bit dark, dreary, and cold, Lee Han decided to believe that it was because the grounds of this magic school were not good.
‘Thank goodness.’
Sze-
At that time, two students passed by Lee Han.

Lee Han was surprised.
Did these two also come to listen to <Repetitive Learning of Basic Magic Combat>?
‘I guess I wasn’t the only one who thought that.’
Well, there were smart people gathered from all over the empire, but there was no way there wouldn’t be someone who thought like Lee Han.
A competitor arose, but Lee Han didn’t care.
‘It’s okay for two people. It’s burdensome to listen to it alone.’
“oh. This isn’t a classroom. “I almost went in wrong.”
“What kind of classroom is this?”
“<Repetitive learning of basic magic combat>.”
“what? Was there a lecture like that? “Is there anyone who wants to hear that?”
“I heard that the White Tiger Top kids heard it and came out cursing.”
“I don’t think it’s a lecture that even they can listen to if they can’t.”
“……”
The two students went to another classroom while talking.
Lee Han suddenly started to feel a little anxious.
Sigh-
Still, three students were already sitting in the classroom.
However, Lee Han could tell that they did not come with a strong purpose like Lee Han.
Because the three students had facial expressions of anxiety, nervousness, confusion, worry, and other emotions.
To put it in a word, the expression of ‘Oh, did I come to the wrong lecture?’!
“It’s time. Please take a seat.”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised once again.
Even though the professor was sitting in the corner of the classroom, I didn’t notice.
I was sitting in a shady place, but I never thought there would be such a presence.
‘Are you a vampire?’
pale skin. Long fangs. A gloomy gaze.
Just as there were troll professors, it wouldn’t be strange to have a vampire professor.
“Ugh!”
“omg…!”
“……”
Lee Han looked at the other students in bewilderment.
Lee Han, even if that’s the case, the three who came first didn’t know that the professor was sitting there?
“I am Boladi Bagrek. This is a professor who will teach repetitive learning of basic magic combat. “Please take care of everyone.”
“Please take care of me!”
The students greeted each other in unison. Lee Han also said hello.
Professor Boladi pointed forward with his finger without even taking out his wand.
Each palm-sized bead was placed on the classroom table.
“The bead is made of spiritual stone.”
Yeongseongseok.
Lee Han had also heard of it.
‘Isn’t it an ore that reacts sensitively to magic power?’
Roughly speaking, when a constellation is placed in a specific location, it emits divine power, and at that time, a mineral that changes under the power of the constellation.
That was the spiritual stone.
I heard that it has the characteristic of reacting quite sensitively to magic power, so it is used in detection equipment and barriers…
“Everyone, grab the beads, concentrate, and infuse your magic.”
Although the students were embarrassed, they held on to the marble.
All students here are freshmen.
They had been here for less than a month.
Although he has talent, he is not confident that he can infuse magic well.
Paaaat!
“Ugh!”
“Aaaah!”
However, regardless of such anxiety, the beads slowly vibrated and floated into the air.
Professor Boladi spoke without changing his expression.
“The bead is now connected to your will.”
‘Artifact!’
Lee Han realized that this bead was not just a bead carved from a spiritual stone, but an artifact that the professor had handcrafted one by one.
‘I heard that well-made artifacts can make a lot of money.’
Artifacts were in high demand anytime and anywhere.
A wizard who is good at making artifacts can sit on a cushion of money!
As I heard that, Lee Han was also interested in the artifact.
However, the artifact must also be of interest to Lee Han.
“Aaaah!”
“!”
The marble next to me soared high into the ceiling. It felt like it was going to break through the ceiling. Fortunately, the marble stopped below the classroom ceiling.
Despite this, Professor Boladi’s expression did not change at all. It was as if the muscles in my face were paralyzed.
“Being connected to the will means you have control. Of course, the marbles are restricted from destroying this classroom.”
“Everything, I’m glad.”
Before the words were finished, a bead struck the student in the abdomen.
puck!
“Ugh…!?”
“There are restrictions preventing you from destroying the classroom, but not you. “Be careful not to damage the beads.”
“……”
Normally it would be ‘Be careful not to get hurt’, but they say be careful not to damage the beads by bumping into people.
Lee Han felt that this vampire professor was also quite crazy.
The students still waited for the professor’s next words, as if they had not yet given up a glimmer of hope.
“What should I do now?”
“Float the marble and draw a circle.”
The students carefully concentrated their minds and floated the marble.
Lee Han also floated a bead.
Everyone tried to draw something strange by moving the beads. Although it was very crooked, there was also a student who drew something that was quite similar to a circle.
“I drew it!”
The student exclaimed in a happy voice, as if he felt the same way.
Professor Boladi answered bluntly.
“That’s not a circle. Draw it again.”
“…Ah, yes.”
The students started drawing circles with beads again.
Then draw a circle again.
Then draw a circle…
And after that…
One of the students asked a question very carefully.
“Well, how long do I have to draw a circle?”
“?”
For the first time, Professor Boladi showed a hint of emotion.
The feeling was the wonder of ‘What are they talking about?’
“Of course, until I draw it perfectly.”
“……”
“…professor. “Can I go to the bathroom for a moment?”
“You don’t have to ask.”
One student left.
Another student who was watching also quietly stood up and left.
Except for Lee Han, the remaining person was also thinking and suddenly fell forward.
“???”
Lee Han was surprised.
Are you acting aggressively like that just to get out of the classroom?
‘This bastard. ‘It’s pretty good, isn’t it?’
Lee Han supported the student.
However, the student’s expression was as pale as lead.
It wasn’t smoke.
“Are you okay?”
“Magic power…”
“professor! “It looks like he collapsed because he used up all his magical power.”
Lee Han looked at the professor and said.
As Professor Garcia taught, beginners learning magic did not manage their magical power well.
So, there were times when I wasted my magic power arbitrarily and ended up collapsing due to my magic power being depleted.
It was clear that this student was like that too.
“Right.”
“How do I do this?”
“When your magic power is restored, hold the bead again and draw a circle.”
“……”
Lee Han felt the student he was supporting squirming with anger.
Even if I didn’t know anything else, I knew that this student would never enter the classroom again.
‘I’ll listen to the lecture alone.’
And it really happened.
Lee Han, who was left alone, asked for confirmation.
“professor. How is this course graded?”
“Following the basic rules, points are awarded in order, starting from first place.”
“indeed…”
Lee Han nodded.
And then I caught the marble again.
“Can I draw a circle?”
“Yes.”
Lee Han started moving the marble and drawing a circle in the air.
The students who left grumbled, ‘What a waste of time!’, but Lee Han had no idea.
‘Rather good.’
You can get a stable high grade as long as you sit through the semester.
This was a real lecture.
