Episode 154
When Lee Han heard the name Potion of Enemy Detection, the first thing that crossed his mind was, of course, the skull principal.
Aside from just emotional issues, being able to determine the location of the skeleton principal was quite helpful in survival.
‘I could drink a potion every time I do something dangerous.’
“Priest Syanna, a genius created by the Church of Flemain. “How can I decide on a target?”
There were several ways to determine the partner for a curse or potion.
Recite a spell while remembering the other person’s name or face, or find an item related to that person…
The potion seemed most likely to be the latter.
“All you have to do is add a strand of the subject’s hair to the finished potion.”
“hair.”
“yes. “Hair.”
“……”
Lee Han was in agony.
‘…Does Richie have hair too?’
No matter how you looked at it, the skeleton principal had no hair.
It would be possible to get the hair from when it was alive, but considering the skeleton principal’s age, it would have already rotted and turned into powder.
‘I can’t use it against the skeleton principal.’
It’s unfortunate, but I couldn’t help it.
Priest Siana seemed interested and continued.
“If Lee Han of the Wardanaz family makes it, I will help you.”
“But isn’t it a pretty difficult potion to make on our own?”
“But Lee Han of the Wardanaz family is a person who enjoys difficult challenges.”
“…huh?”
Lee Han paused.
Where did you get such crazy rumors?
‘Are the White Tiger Tower guys spreading it around?’
“It’s not?”
“Even humility… haha.”
“It’s not really true.”
There was bitterness in Lee Han’s voice, but Priest Siana did not notice.
“Wardanaz. “How can I finish this?”
“wait. “Let’s finish it together.”
The friends who gathered to complete Professor Alpen’s magic circle called Lee Han.
Thanks to everyone’s help, the magic circle was gradually coming to an end.
‘for a moment. It’s empty, right?’
Lee Han, who was drawing a line on the floor while looking at the book the professor gave him, paused.
Perhaps the professor made a mistake or did it on purpose, but one part of the magic circle was empty.
As originally planned, spheres of light should appear at regular intervals on both sides of the hallway, and an illusionary statue should appear in the center…
If it continued like this, it was sure to look awkward as a few spheres of light did not come out.
‘Should I go and ask Professor Knighton?’
Lee Han was worried.
Asking a professor when something is wrong or something you don’t know is more dangerous than you might think.
-You don’t know this? What on earth did you hear in my lecture?
-Are you saying I made a mistake now? This is truly absurd. Of course, I left this level blank so that I could do it on my own.
Even if it was a mistake or not, the reaction may be stronger than expected!
Of course, Professor Alpen didn’t seem that crazy, but the other professors at the magic school all seemed fine at first impression.
After much thought, Lee Han made a decision.
‘I guess I’ll have to figure it out myself.’
I was fortunate to receive training in magical attributes from Professor Bible Verdus.
…Are you glad?
Lee Han shook off his distracting thoughts and returned to concentration.
“Get out of the way. “I will cast <Give Light>.”
The wand was waved and a spell was cast.
The missing part of the magic circle was filled with the <Light Grant> magic cast by Lee Han.
The other students were impressed, but the princess tilted her head.
For this type of installation-type magic circle, organic connection as a whole was very important.
If the magic circles placed throughout the magic circle act as a battery, the intricately drawn lines of the magic circle serve as a conduit for transmitting power.
However, the enchantment given by Lee Han to replace the missing part of the magic circle was not particularly connected to the entire magic circle.
Then the magic power won’t be transmitted?
Tuk-tuk-
The princess pointed to the corner of the magic circle to Lee Han. Lee Han immediately knew what the princess was trying to say.
“it’s okay.”
“…??”
Of course Lee Han knew who prepared this magic circle.
However, the magic circle given by Professor Alpen was not of a level of difficulty that a single freshman could complete by modifying or adding to it.
then?
‘You just have to roll while people are watching.’
In the first place, the purpose of the magic circle was to decorate the area with splendid spheres of light and fantasy statues.

As long as it worked properly while people were watching, there was no problem.
“But isn’t it difficult to maintain it for long?”
One of the princess’s followers asked curiously.
Increasing the duration of the enchantment was very difficult.
A semi-permanent enchantment is not called an artifact for nothing.
If it was a magic spell like Lee Han’s, performed with just a wand and a spell without any prior preparation, it would be difficult to last more than a few minutes.
“okay. But don’t worry. Because I plan to make a new one every day. Then it won’t go off.”
“……”
“…???”
The princess and her followers were momentarily dazed because they did not understand.
Either way, Lee Han called Ah San.
“Asan. Call the professor. “Before any other problems arise… no, I have to show it to the professor now that I’ve completed it.”
“okay. Wodanaz!”
* * *
Alpen Knighton, a professor teaching <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> to magic school freshmen, was walking along with his friend Kendry Baku.
As both were high-ranking officials of the empire, they were not alone.
Behind them were other guests who had come to the magic school.
“Are you from Baldrogård?”
“yes. “I came here to see Einrogard’s outstanding students and renowned education, but I am embarrassed.”
The wizard who had been leading the students of Baldrogard looked embarrassed.
No matter how many guests came to see the festival, it would be a lie if there was no sense of competition between the different magic schools.
As he was a wizard working at Baldrogard, he wanted the students to show him something.
Alpen and Kendry, who read her thoughts, comforted her as if everything was okay.
“A student’s outstanding talent does not come out when you try to show it by force or haste.”
“Alpen is right. You don’t need to worry about that. “Because Baldrogard is already teaching students well.”
Apart from Einrogard’s few character-breakers, imperial officials evaluated Baldrogard quite favorably.
The wizards of Einrogard…
-Gold… twenty-seven hundred and eighty gold coins?? Whose nose are you telling me to stick this to? If they won’t triple it, take it all! no! What if they really take it… Oh my!! The rotten inspector of that empire oppresses the free spirit of magic!!
In comparison, the wizards of Baldrogard…
-You mean imperial subsidies? it’s okay. I’m not poor, so I don’t need that kind of support. We are nobles, not beggars. Please do not tarnish my reputation.
For this reason, imperial officials had no choice but to like Baldrogard more.
It was natural for someone like Kendry to think that Baldrogard’s education was more wholesome.
Einrogard is a bit…
Aren’t we ruining the character of wizards by focusing too much on magic?
“But I’m embarrassed to show such a poor performance against Einrogard’s 5th grade students. Of course, we won’t be able to win since our opponent is a senior, but we should be able to show a good performance…”
“…?”
Alpen was puzzled.
The 5th grade student didn’t come to the festival?
Kendry explained the situation to Alpen in a quick, low voice.
-Did Professor Bagrek fan of student Baldrogard?
-no. A disciple of Professor Bagrek.
-To a first-year student?!
-Magic combat is separate from magic skills. If you don’t practice separately, you may become clumsy.
-No matter how separate it may be, first-year students probably didn’t have a chance to practice magic combat…
-Let’s not hurt the people who came to enjoy the festival for no reason. Would there be any good thing for the empire if magic schools fought each other?
-That’s correct.
The two nodded and decided to stop talking.
“What did you talk about?”
“Nothing.”
I was about to change the subject, but a first-year student came running from far away.
He was Asan of the Dalkad family.
“professor. “I have completed what you said last time.”
“You worked hard. “Let me go and check now.”
Asan bowed his head and ran first. It was to tell her friends that guests were coming soon.
Professor Alpen paused as he watched Asan’s back moving away.
“…hmm?”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Didn’t you say you just finished it?”
“It did. “I saw it once last time, and it seemed like the progress had been made quite a bit.”
“I didn’t give it to you to complete everything…”
Professor Alpen muttered as if he did not understand.
-I would like to leave it to you to make a simple magic circle.
I said I wanted to entrust you with making the magic circle, but I didn’t ask you to complete the magic circle.
In the first place, it was difficult to complete all of that at the freshman level.
That’s why Professor Alpen said to do your best and do as much as possible with the help of other friends…
“Well. “There was a misunderstanding?”
“There was a misunderstanding.”
The imperial officials generously forgave their mistake by saying that their arms were bent inwards.
“It would have been a good opportunity for students.”
“That’s right. That’s amazing. “I didn’t know I would finish it…”
“Can I listen closely?”
The wizard of Baldrogard asked curiously.
When Professor Alpen explained what had happened, the wizard of Baldrogard praised Professor Alpen.
“Thanks to the professor not setting limits, students are able to advance further.”
“Your praise puts me to shame!”
“ha ha ha!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The wizards smiled and praised each other.
Baldrogard’s second-year students, who arrived late, looked puzzled and asked.
“What’s going on?”
The wizard of Baldrogard explained the story he had heard.
Then the Baldrogard students spoke in disbelief.
“A magic circle of that size so quickly?!”
“This is ridiculous! “It must be unfinished!”
Regardless of the difficulty of the magic circle, the speed was unbelievable.
Making a magic circle wasn’t just about drawing shapes.
This is done by carefully calculating the amount of magic power and testing it directly, something that even wizards have to do while falling down several times due to lack of magic power…
“Maybe so. But even if it’s unfinished, isn’t it great that you’ve completed it enough to show it to the professor?”
“Ugh…”
“That’s… right.”
The polite Baldrogard students had no choice but to admit it.
Even though it was incomplete, it was a great thing that it was completed to the point where it could be shown.
“Then shall we all go look around together?”
“yes. professor.”
Baldrogard’s students whispered as they followed behind the older wizards.
“But what grades did it happen?”
“well…?”
* * *
The Baldrogard students who arrived at the classroom immediately nodded.
“Fifth graders.”
“why?”
“That person over there. “I was in 5th grade.”
“I see.”
The students looked at Lee Han’s face and nodded.
As the third-year students at Baldrogaard were beaten harder and harder, the rumors about Lee Han were increasing.
“wait for a sec. “That person is… Princess Ardenart, right?”
“The princess? “Why is that?”
“I understand you’re a year younger than us…?”
“So you’re a freshman, right? “It was made together with upperclassmen.”
It was not uncommon in Baldrogard for older students to practice magic together with younger students.
Seniors get help from juniors.
Juniors learn from seniors.
This was the school custom of the prestigious magic school.
‘Are the 5th graders here too?’
Lee Han, who was sitting and resting, was puzzled by the word ‘5th grade’ heard among the students outside.
I didn’t think I saw any 5th grade students in Baldrogard…
“Mr. Wardanaz. “That’s great.”
“thank you. professor.”
Lee Han bowed his head politely.
This moment of being recognized by the professor.
The more difficult the professor was, the more glorious the moment.
“It wasn’t a task I was given to complete, but I completed it…”
“…?”
“But you completed that part separately?”
“…wait a minute. professor. wait a minute.”
Lee Han interrupted the professor without realizing it.
What did you just say?
