Episode 152
Fortunately, Eumidhus was not crazy like Professor Boladi.
Professor Boladi would have thrown Lee Han deep into the river and told him to ‘evaporate and get out,’ but Eumidhus did not do that.
In the first place, the purpose of today’s picnic was to open the young wizard’s eyes and make him aware of the wide world of water magic.
There is no reason to force it that way.
It was enough to try and experience the various properties of water magic.
“The order is as follows.”
Eumidhus taught me in detail the spell and movements of the 1st circle magic, <Water Evaporation>.
In fact, <Water Evaporation> was a magic that would be embarrassing to call a 1st circle magic.
Typical trap magic!
Even if the magic is located in the same circle, the difficulty level varies greatly.
Magic that is much more difficult than the same circle magic is usually called ‘trap magic’.
<Water Evaporation> is located in Circle 1, but it was a difficult magic that beginner wizards could never learn.
Evaporation properties were that difficult.
“I want to try it.”
After finishing the brief lecture, Eumidhus watched Lee Han.
Water element wizards who usually practice evaporation properties practice by floating the liquids to be evaporated in front of them.
At first, I practiced with liquids like strong alcohol that evaporated easily, and then gradually increased the strength of the magic by switching to liquids with higher boiling points.
However, Eumidhus presented nothing to Yi Han.
The idea was to first practice the movements and spells to complete the magic.
Eumidifus was not harsh enough to immediately tell the liquid to ‘evaporate!’ even though he had just learned it and had not practiced it.
“……”
Lee Han looked at Eumidyhus once, and then again at the proudly flowing river.
‘Are you trying to evaporate the river water now?’
Because Eumidhus explained too little, Lee Han had no choice but to misunderstand.
In fact, it wasn’t Eumidhus’ fault.
Usually, when asked to try a magic trick they are learning for the first time, they try to practice the movements and spells first, but who would try to stop the river right next to them?
If I had to pick a fault, it was Professor Boladi’s fault.
Because of Professor Boladi, Lee Han misunderstood Yumidhus.
‘I can’t help it. Let’s do our best. I have to at least pretend I won’t fall into the water.’
Lee Han had an intuition of what would happen if he continued to fail his magic.
There was a high probability that it would go into the river.
“Evaporize!”
“no…?”
Yumidihus was surprised to see Lee Han casting magic straight into the river with a single stroke, without practicing any moves or spells.
Aren’t you practicing…?!
Shhh!
Steam rose above the river.
Although it wasn’t a steam explosion like Eumidyhus, it was a significant amount of water vapor.
“……”
Eumidhus was astonished.
‘Really… a genius.’
Among the magicians of the Empire, the word ‘genius’ was a bit overused.
Both dogs and cows used to claim that they were geniuses.
The wizards who came to learn magic from Eumidhus all claimed that they were geniuses, except for Boladi Bagrek.
-Yumidihus. For the future of Imperial magic, you must do your best to teach me magic. I am one of the greatest geniuses among the Empire’s wizards.
-Yumidihus. I’m embarrassed to say this, but I’m a magical genius. There is no need to teach me each and every one of these spells.
-Yumidihus. Even though I have genius magical abilities, in my opinion, this spell is not a very good one. I think it would be good to make some more improvements.
Actually, it wasn’t completely wrong.
The wizards who came to Eumidhus were some of the most outstanding wizards in the empire.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to come in the first place.
However, the eyes of a magician like Eumidhus, who had experienced all kinds of mountain and mountain air battles, were strict and harsh.
That level of talent was something any wizard who would seriously explore magic should have, but it was not a treasure worth bragging about having.
however…
The boy in front of me was definitely different.
I felt an aura that only the real thing can have, which is completely different from the geniuses who call themselves geniuses.
He seemed to have all the elements to be considered talented, including an innate amount of magical power, delicate control, and deep and rich thinking ability.
‘Is it river water? Will it end up in the river?’
While Eumidhus was quietly admiring, Lee Han was quietly anxious.
It seemed to Lee Han that it was quite successful, but that didn’t matter.
What mattered was how it appeared to the eyes of Eumidyhus.
Is it still a failure?
‘Isn’t this good enough in the beginning?’
Although Lee Han was not a conceited person, looking at it objectively, the evaporation magic seemed to work quite well.
Compared to other magics, the evaporation property had a good compatibility with Lee Han.
First of all, Lee Han was able to accurately and specifically recall the image of ‘evaporation’…
Above all, <Water Evaporation> was possible to push through with force.
Wizards who did not have as much magical power as Lee Han had to manipulate their magical power carefully and in detail to complete the spell, but Lee Han was able to complete the spell by simply pushing through with his magical power.

In this respect, water evaporation is much easier than controlling water beads.
“Good job. “That’s great.”
“!”
Lee Han sighed in relief.
Fortunately, I didn’t think I would have to go into the river.
“Actually, I didn’t ask to evaporate the river water. “I’m practicing magic for the first time, and a river flowing like that is not an appropriate target.”
Although the amount was large, the continuously flowing river water made it several times more difficult to cast magic.
The boy in front of me can be proud that he accomplished that.
But instead, Lee Han put on a stern expression.
‘…What did you just say?’
Come to think of it, Eumidhus didn’t ask me to do a practical test against the river right away.
I thought of Professor Boladi and misunderstood it.
“But seeing that you did it all at once, I think I understand why you cast magic against the river. “It’s reasonable confidence.”
“No… it’s a misunderstanding.”
“okay. “You must be mistaken.”
Eumidhus nodded with a kind smile on his lips.
“At first, I thought Boladi Bagrek forced it…”
‘That’s right.’
Lee Han said to himself. But it did not reach Eumidyhus’s ears.
“…Now that I see it, it wasn’t like that.”
It was clear that Bagrek did not force it, but rather that the student learned all the magic he gave too quickly.
Eumidhus promised to himself that he should cancel one misunderstanding regarding Bagrek.
“yes…”
Lee Han answered in a voice filled with subtle sadness.
It was because of the sadness that I could not openly criticize Professor Boladi.
Lee Han thought that when he graduated later, he might go to Professor Boladi before the skeleton headmaster.
* * *
Eumidhus did not tell Lee Han to use more magic.
I just saw it cooked in one go, so why would you do that?
“I think you should eat more than me.”
Instead, I took a break.
Lee Han prepared a place for Eumidyhus to sit, laid out a blanket for him, and prepared food and drink for him.
Eumidhus looked at Lee Han with a gaze mixed with calm emotion.
“I didn’t expect to be treated like this.”
“Uh… haven’t any of the other disciples ever done anything like this?”
“There was none.”
“…?”
Lee Han, who was puzzled, thought of Professor Boladi.
And I was convinced.
‘I guess that’s quite possible.’
Lee Han made milk tea with the black tea he stole from Professor Thunderwalk. A sweet drink full of sugar restored my tired brain.
Even if your magical power is infinite, it is inevitable that your concentration will decrease and you will become mentally tired when using magic.
If you were a student at a magic school, it was a good idea to take some time to recover.
It was clear that Professor Thunderstruck would also be happy to see his drink being used like this.
‘Are they third graders?’
Eumidyhus took a bite of his sandwich and looked into the distance.
Looking at their clothes, it was clear that they were third-year students at Einrogard.
I looked around to see what was hidden in the mountain and waved my staff towards the ground. The dirt erupted and the magic ingredients and reagents contained within came out.
I prepared a lot of things to do it in secret, but I couldn’t fool the eyes of a magician like Eumidyhus.
“Do you see over there?”
“What are you talking about?”
“yes. “You can’t see it.”
Eumidihus thought of the skeleton headmaster.
Since they were very serious about keeping the new students separate, it was also natural to use magic to make them unrecognizable.
“Let me release you for a moment. “You’ll be okay, right?”
As Eumidhus swung his staff, Lee Han could see his seniors gathering magic ingredients and reagents in the distance.
“Can you see it now?”
“yes. I see it. “Is that…?”
“You’ll probably find out as you get older, but it’s a wizard’s job to obtain the materials and reagents needed for one’s studies.”
Eumidhus explained calmly, as if he was not surprised.
Seeing him looking around and hiding it like that, I was certain that he had stolen it or taken it.
‘It’s so sad that I have to be like that even in third grade.’
Lee Han trembled at the fate that loomed before him.
Can’t we just provide enough materials and reagents?
“You want to go and steal it?”
“…yes?”
“I want to see how you fight. “You can win.”
“……”
It wasn’t a question of whether or not we could win, but the question was that we had to attack against our seniors.
No matter how much he stole, isn’t a senior a senior?
Lee Han looked at Yumidhus in bewilderment, but Yumidhus showed no sign of changing his mind.
“Battle wizards grow by drinking the blood of their opponents. “The sooner you experience it in practice, the better. The more experience you have, the better.”
Lee Han was sickened inside by the sight of Yumidihus, who looked like a kind grandmother but spoke harsh words.
He’s just an old Professor Boladi!
“Eumidihus.”
“Don’t say you can’t do it. Because I know for sure that you can do it. Excessive humility can be poisonous. “You will soon find out, but there is no need to look down on a wizard just because he or she is a senior.”
“no. “I’m not saying you can’t do it, but… can I wear a mask?”
“……”
Eumidhus was truly impressed.
* * *
Lee Han only believed Yumidihus’ words and did not attack recklessly.
If you are a third year student at Einrogard, you have probably gone through many times the hardships that Lee Han and his friends went through.
If he had touched it by mistake, Lee Han could have suffered the consequences.
Lee Han wore a mask and cast an invisibility spell. A mask was absolutely necessary in case the opponent canceled the invisibility spell.
Then he carefully approached from behind and fired a spell at the two seniors.
“Oops!”
“What?!”
The two seniors who were surprised fell to the ground.
Lee Han immediately packed the box containing the ingredients and reagents. The box had a name engraved on it.
-Osu Gonadaltes
Lee Han was shocked when he saw that.
‘Isn’t this crazy??’
Will the principal’s warehouse be opened around 3rd grade?
No, rather than them stealing on purpose, it was more likely that the principal induced them to do so.
Anyway, it was true that I couldn’t believe it.
‘Oops. ‘This is not the time.’
Lee Han quickly left the position.
“Good job.”
Eumidhus was very satisfied when he saw Lee Han return.
Bagleg was close to perfect so I didn’t waste any time.
Surprise, attack, achievement, departure.
It was the core of magic combat itself.
“Is it written on who it belongs to?”
“It looks like something from the principal’s warehouse.”
“okay. “Then it would be better for you to keep it instead of giving it back.”
“…?!”
Lee Han was surprised.
And he nodded obediently.
“yes. “I will.”
Eumidhus looked at Lee Han with warm eyes, seeing the obedient disciple.
