Episode 144
‘I’m not surprised.’
Lee Han said instead of being surprised.
“Is that so. “You’re trying to shoot at students.”
Does it make sense to shoot firecrackers at students?->(X)
You’re trying to shoot firecrackers at students!->(O)
Lee Han, who had already made up his mind, was not shaken by this.
‘I need to tell my friends to avoid events held by the skeleton principal.’
At this festival, no matter how delicious the skeleton principal gave you snacks, if you followed him, you could end up getting hit with fireworks.
When Lee Han’s reaction was dull, the skeleton principal was not amused.
The longer you live, the less fun you have left.
The only fun left for the skeleton headmaster was exploring magic, running the school, and tormenting his students.
A truly frugal, monk-like life of poverty.
But when Lee Han reacted like that, the skeleton principal couldn’t help but feel sad.
Isn’t it too cold-hearted to shoot firecrackers at students?
“no. “You can shoot me, right…”
……
The headmaster once again felt that his newly discovered student was a formidable person.
I have taught and tormented many students until now, but there were few as unique as the student in front of me.
When you look at him talking, he is as soft as a willow tree, but his core is so hard that even the most noble people can’t even imagine.
‘A guy like that needs to use magic properly…’
The Skeleton Headmaster was truly saddened by the state of affairs in the empire.
What is this magic school all about?
In the old days, a teacher and a student would sit face to face and receive everything taught…
When I heard other wizards talk about various things, I felt like nothing was wrong. It was truly unfortunate that there was a shortcut but I had to go round and round.

Lee Han walked behind the skeleton principal.
‘Is this another professor’s workshop?’
A tower with a unique appearance located a little away from the main building.
Since each professor had their own workshop, I could guess that this was also another professor’s tower.
Brazier and bellows. Lee Han was puzzled when he saw the facilities and equipment that could only be found in various blacksmith shops scattered in front of him.
‘Is there a place like this in the magic school?’
I sometimes visited places like this when I was following the knight Allarlong.
As armor was more important than life to knights, it was also important to become acquainted with a blacksmith with excellent skills.
Of course, the blacksmith’s forge visited by Allarlong also had excellent facilities, one of the few in the empire…
‘Compared to that, it’s not inferior.’
It was so professional that I was a bit surprised.
How about it?
The skeleton principal asked subtly when Lee Han seemed surprised.
Some of the facilities of this magic school were built with the budget that the skeleton headmaster obtained by groveling to the emperor.
Of course, I couldn’t help but become attached to it.
“I was surprised. here is…”
This is Seonggak-gwan. Do you know what this place does?
“It’s a place where artifacts are made.”
okay. As expected, you are quick-witted.
Creating enchanted items and artifacts was not something that just anyone could do.
Who else would give magic if not a wizard?
As such, an outstanding artifact maker was not only an outstanding wizard, but also a great blacksmith, and was also a skilled sculptor and talented craftsman.
“Are you trying to make money by selling artifacts at the festival?”
…Interesting idea, but no.
Principal Skeleton was dumbfounded by Lee Han’s words.
Of course, selling artifacts was one of the main sources of income for wizards.
However, among wizards who knew how to make artifacts, there were few who tried to make money by somehow selling a lot of artifacts.
It is difficult for magicians who are obsessed with money and have money as their goal to reach a high level.
Selling artifacts was always a means for one’s own research, not a goal.
‘Why aren’t they selling? There seemed to be more outside guests than expected.’
‘This guy doesn’t even run the school, so why is he so interested in money…?’
The principal and the students thought each other strange.
Meanwhile, a professor appeared inside the tower.
Lee Han was surprised to see the professor.
‘You’re incredibly… cute!’
The professor, holding a hammer and a staff in each hand, was a beaver beastman.
Even to Lee Han, who has seen many beast people, it was surprisingly cute.
“Why did you come?”
I came here because I needed some magic fireworks.
“okay. I’ll make it. go.”
I brought a disciple here to help me.
“I don’t need any help?”

Professor Beaver looked at the skeleton headmaster curiously.
Then the skeleton principal spoke seriously.
It’s because I’m worried about you. You really like making things on your own instead of asking students to do it. Then I got hurt.
“Why do I have to make my students do something this fun? “I don’t understand.”
Professor Beaver grumbled in dissatisfaction.
But the skeleton principal did not give in to this.
Isn’t it true that they brought Lee Han in to work on making magic fireworks in the first place?
They brought him in, but it would be really sad for the skeleton principal if Lee Han plays around and only Professor Beaver works hard.
Uh huh! And then you get hurt! This is an order from the principal. Make it with this disciple here!
‘He’s really persistent.’
Lee Han was not fooled by the skeleton principal’s words of concern. There was only one reason why the skeleton headmaster suddenly became a kind and gentle wizard.
To somehow get Lee Han to work!
From the looks of it, Professor Beaver was not a person who liked to entrust work to his students.
I’m emphasizing it like that just in case people don’t leave it to Lee Han.
“okay. okay. “We can do it together.”
okay! I believe it. ruler. Wardanaz. Make sure you have all the magic fireworks made by the time I get back.
“All right.”
The skeleton principal repeated his request several times and then walked away, humming a tune.
For some reason, Lee Han now remembered a fairy tale he had read before.
While the skeleton principal goes on an outing, he has to fill a jar with holes…
The difference was that Lee Han had no one in particular to help him.
‘I have to do some work.’
Although he looked cute on the outside, Lee Han did not let down his guard.
What kind of person is this Professor Bieber?
* * *
“professor?”
“uh? uh.”
“…professor?”
“uh? Uh oh. okay. uh.”
Professor Beaver Beastman Professor Bible Verdus was not as threatening as I thought.
He was not the type of professor who would attack new students by throwing lightning or sending undead summons.
Instead, Professor Bible had little interest in his student.
To be precise, he had no interest in anything in the world except his own magic.
“I heard that you teach enchantment.”
Professor Bible played with the glass and metal for about 30 seconds before responding belatedly to Lee Han’s words.
“Uh huh.”
Grant magic.
It was a magic that had a wide scope and was in high demand even in the empire.
When cast on a person, it becomes a strengthening spell, and when cast on an object, it becomes an artifact.
Lee Han had a liking and interest in this enchantment.
‘It is a discipline that is as profitable as alchemy.’
It is said that wizards who learn enchantment have no particular interest in gold and only pursue the noble path of learning, but that was none of Lee Han’s business…
If you learn how to make artifacts and sell them consistently, wouldn’t it be a great side job?
Even though being an imperial bureaucrat was a stable job, the future was unknown. It wasn’t a bad idea to have some steady side income.
‘But the professor said this.’
“Yes. hang on.”
“yes.”
Actually, it wouldn’t have been a bad situation if it weren’t for the skeleton principal.
If the professor is not interested in Lee Han, Lee Han can just do his own thing and go.
However, given the skeletal nature of the principal, there was no way he wouldn’t ask after he finished.
And if Lee Han didn’t do anything, he would get all kinds of grumpy.
After about 30 minutes, Professor Bible finished the work. He dipped the finished metal plate into a large solution, cast a spell on it, and attempted to walk into another room.
“professor!”
“uh! what? “How long have you been here?”
“I’m Lee Han, and I’m here to help the professor make magic firecrackers.”
“ah. It did. Sorry. “I keep forgetting.”
Professor Bible asked Lee Han as he approached him.
“What grade are you in?”
“I’m a freshman.”
“……”
Professor Bible paused. And then he said it again.
“1 Grade?”
“yes.”
“…uh… wasn’t Gonadaltes mistaken?”
“You are not mistaken.”
“okay? “Do you think you’re really talented?”
Lee Han thought to himself as Professor Bible said.
‘It seems closer to malice than that…’
“Making magic fireworks themselves is not that difficult. However, it is difficult to make it pretty and diverse. Especially for freshmen.”
Professor Bible rolled up a thick piece of paper. He then cast a spell, blocking both the top and bottom.
Lastly, I attached a thread to the bottom of the paper. So that you can pull it.
“There is a magic inside now. What if I pull it? “It just explodes.”
“…I’m sorry, but could you do it again?”
“uh? again?”
Professor Bible was perplexed.
“okay. wait for a sec.”
The professor showed his magic again.
Roll up the paper, enchant the inside, seal the top and bottom, and attach thread.
end!
“…I’m really sorry. “Maybe slowly again…”
“Huh? Still again?”
“yes. sorry. “I guess I don’t have any talent for enchantment.”
“no! are you okay. are you okay. “There is no need for a wizard to be good at all magic!”
Professor Bible was a good man.
Of course, that did not mean that he had outstanding abilities as an educator.
If he was an excellent educator, he would cast the enchantment on a new student as a silent spell and then say, ‘Huh? Still don’t understand? I couldn’t have said something ridiculous like ‘You must have no talent!’
Both the teacher who was teaching and the student who was trying to learn were talking nonsense, but there was no one around to stop them.
Professor Bible raised his cane again.
“ruler. So, here…”
* * *
According to Professor Bible’s teachings (which Lee Han learned almost on his own), the magic that formed the basis of magic fireworks was the 2nd circle magic <Grant Fire> and <Grant Light>.
“okay. “Is this a way to give flame and light to paper?”
“okay. But that would be too tasteless, so if you are a good wizard, this is where you pursue your art.”
Professor Bible explained as he took out a piece of tree bark and munched on it, probably because he was feeling hungry.
“Do you know how to change the shape of an element or maintain its form?”
“yes.”
Actually, it wasn’t a question to ask a freshman, but Professor Bible had already forgotten that Lee Han was a freshman.
Lee Han also answered without thinking.
“The principle is similar. “We have to be more careful because we have to engrave it into material…”
In enchantment, the skill of the magician is important, but the material to which the magic is applied is also important.
The weaker the durability, the more difficult it is to withstand magic and magical power.
Fortunately, the paper used for scrolls and firecrackers was not ordinary paper. It was a paper made of a material that was resistant to magic power.
Even so…
“professor. “I have a lot of magical power, but can I do it well?”
“Even if I can’t do it, there’s nothing I can do about it. “You can use other magic, right?”
“Thank you for your warm words.”
Lee Han spoke with sincerity.
Actually, it was a pity, but I felt like there was something to be said about it like that.
If it were Professor Boladi, he might have said, ‘I won’t open the door to the blacksmith shop until you do.’
widely!
After several trials and errors, Lee Han’s first light magic firework was completed.
Because the horsepower was limited as much as possible and the goal was to be operable, it was far from appearance or flashiness.
‘I hope it works.’
Lee Han didn’t expect much either.
I was satisfied as long as it worked as a magic firework when the thread was pulled.
“Then shall we pull it?”
Professor Bible put down the bark and picked up the firecracker.
And pulled the thread.
phut!
A flash of light filled the room.
Professor Bible was surprised by the intensity of the light, which was much stronger than expected.
