Episode 196
But even if I regretted it, it was already too late.
Professor Boladi’s magic lecture continued.
“I heard it from Professor Verdus. “I decided to major in enchantment as well.”
“…I just listen with a light heart…”
“It’s a good choice.”
Because of its wide versatility, enchantment was easy to link with other magic.
In particular, cold elemental magic was good for linking with enchantment magic.
People who don’t know much often have several misunderstandings about cold elemental magic.
The intense image of the knife-like cold, the difficulty of learning and using it.
-Perhaps the cold element is the most destructive and combative of the elements?
But no.
In terms of instant destructive power, the fire element was much better. The moment the flame is ignited, it burns on its own, engulfing its surroundings.
In contrast, once the cold element was summoned, the opponent did not immediately freeze.
Continuing, the wizard had to maintain the cold by infusing magical energy until the opponent froze.
It was a fairly inefficient method.
‘hmm. From now on, I shouldn’t just freeze it so ignorantly.’
Lee Han, who had created ice in a lake by recklessly injecting magic into it just because he was in a hurry, reflected on this.
It was a shame because I only had friends, but if other professors had seen it, they might have said, ‘Such an ignorant bastard.’
In any case, the cold element’s other personalities were also ambiguous.
What about shape change or retention?
The water element was better.
For pure penetration, use the earth element, for speed, use the lightning element…
Aside from its freezing properties, the cold element was a more ambiguous and difficult element to use than expected.
But it wasn’t that there was no way. If you knew how to use it, the cold element definitely had advantages that other elements could not match.
One of the methods was enchantment.
widely-
Professor Boladi drew his rapier. From that stable posture, Lee Han realized that the professor had learned swordsmanship.
‘Well, I guess someone who risked their life in a magic battle wouldn’t have been lax in close combat.’
Whoosh!
Lee Han could feel the cold magic rising above the blade of the rapier.
“Go for it.”
“…!”
Lee Han stood up, managing his expression so as not to show that he was too happy.
As soon as he took up his stance with the wooden sword, the professor immediately went first. As the distance narrowed, a sting flew out.
It was a quick and sharp thrust, but Lee Han had not learned swordsmanship wasted enough to be hit by an attack coming from a distance without any tricks.
He immediately pushed the wooden sword forward and parried the stab.
Damn it!
At that moment, part of the wooden sword froze.
Lee Han forcibly injected his magic power to shake off the ice. He couldn’t end it like this.
‘It is highly likely that Professor Boladi does not know the details of my swordsmanship style. Somehow, just one…’
“Do you understand?”
“yes?”
Lee Han, who discovered his true feelings, paused.
“I mean, enchantment.”
“Ah… yes. “It has good compatibility with the cold element.”
There was no need for the wizard to concentrate magical energy to scatter cold air or create cold crystals to shoot out.
By imparting cold to an object, it could continuously hit the enemy.
I couldn’t take him down with just one swipe, but that was enough.
Since Lee Han had learned swordsmanship properly, he was feeling how effective this cold enchantment was.
‘If the swordsmen fight each other, they have to keep clashing their weapons, and after five or six times, they’ll be incapable of fighting.’
Professor Boladi nodded when Lee Han seemed to understand and sheathed his sword. Lee Han felt regretful inside.
“Throw it.”
“yes.”
Professor Boladi gestured toward the iron ball. Lee Han controlled his expression as before and grabbed his bead.
‘Let’s stay calm.’
Try not to put your opponent on guard and keep your cool as much as possible…
Lee Han drew magical energy from his entire body and infused it into the beads.
Lee Han was also being as careful as he could as he had heard from Professor Ingalldell, ‘It is dangerous to imbue the sword with magic like that.’
But sometimes there were times when it was unavoidable.
That time was now.
Shoo!
Metal balls flew in with the sound of tearing the air.
At that moment, the dagger on Professor Boladi’s waist moved as if it were alive.
With a clanging sound, the dagger passed straight through the bead. The speed of the marble that was flying so fast suddenly decreased and froze.
It was an unrealistic stopping phenomenon that could only be shown by coldness brought by a wizard, not natural coldness.
While Lee Han was amazed, Professor Boladi paid attention to something else.
The vampire professor asked with interest.

“Did you not circulate the magic power but instead throw it by instantly firing it?”
“…yes.”
“It will take a toll on the equipment, but throwing weapons, which are consumables, will be fine. “It’s a good method.”
Lee Han sighed in relief.
Fortunately, his murderous intent was not discovered.
“We practiced this in the swordsmanship class.”
“yes?”
Lee Han paused.
I had a feeling that the topic was going in a strange direction.
Professor Boladi’s words really sounded like, ‘I was taking a swordsmanship class to add this method to magic combat.’
It was quite an unfair accusation for Lee Han, who was listening to it to manage his grades.
“I didn’t do it on purpose…”
“Good job. “Try summoning a frost shield.”
Professor Boladi changed the subject as if this story was already over.
Lee Han was anxious, but had no chance to clear his false accusation.
‘…It’ll be okay. no way.’
* * *
The 2nd circle spell, <Cold Shield>, was much more difficult because it was in the same circle as the <Water Shield> spell.
Elemental difficulty, magic power consumption, magic power maintenance, etc. everything.
At this level, it would be unfair to call it the same circle magic.
However, <Cold Shield> deserved its level of difficulty.
‘It freezes any attack that touches it!’
It could be said to be a truly excellent magic shield in that it not only freezes but also significantly reduces the power of attacks.
“Now command this shield to protect you.”
“Yes… Yes?”
Lee Han nodded and then was surprised.
I worked hard throughout the lecture to learn how to change the shape of the cold element, and managed to create a <cold shield>, but now they are giving me autonomy.
Professor Boladi seemed to have noticed Lee Han’s misunderstanding and opened his mouth.
“I’m not telling you to do it now.”
“ah. Final goal…”
“Until next time.”
“……”
Lee Han regretted not adding a little more magical power when throwing the iron ball earlier.
If I had put in a little more, wouldn’t it have been able to break through the defense?
“If you want to give orders to the shield and have it protect itself… wouldn’t it be 4 circles?”
Lee Han made a simple estimate.
How to create a cold shield that floats in the air, spins around, and blocks attacks when they hit the owner?
…It was at least 4 circles.
“Yes.”
“professor. “I am a first year student.”
“?”
Professor Boladi looked at Lee Han, wondering why he was suddenly saying this.
“…Is the magic a bit difficult…?”
“Combining rotation and firing properties to a water bead and granting Azirmo summons. “Everyone is from the 4th circle.”
“……”
Lee Han was truly speechless.
I never thought I would lose to Professor Boladi through logic.
You have succeeded in a 4-circle difficulty spell -> So, you can succeed in a 4-circle difficulty spell again!
It was perfect logic that could not be refuted.
Professor Boladi continued as if he still didn’t understand.
“Are you kidding?”
“…Yeah… well…”
“You’re not good at telling jokes. Okay. “There’s no need for jokes in magic battles.”
Professor Boladi comforted Lee Han and left the classroom first.
After the lecture, Lee Han, who was left alone, covered his head and regretted it.
‘…I didn’t succeed in using the cold element all at once.’
No matter how much I think about it, this was the beginning of this whole butterfly effect.
Who would have thought that just one mistake would come back like this…
* * *
It was still cold at school, but Lee Han seemed to get used to it after about two days.
‘I guess I’ll have to clear the steeple road soon.’
Of course, some students like Cainando could have said this.
-Do you really have to go in this weather!? Go later!
But Lee Han knew better.
If you make an excuse that it’s cold, if you make an excuse that it’s hot, if you make an excuse that you have a paper test, if you make an excuse that you have to play a card game, there’s nothing you can do.
“I understand, so stop mistreating me…!”
Gainando, who was once worried and then received all kinds of abuse, looked filled with resentment.
‘Do you really have to go in this weather!? ‘Go later!’ I don’t think I’m worried about getting criticized like this!
Rattling rattling-
dinner.
Blue Dragon Tower students sitting together in the lounge were eating the food left in their bowls with spoons.
After finishing his meal first, Lee Han took out the potions he had received as a gift from Priest Syanna.
In this weather, I had to be prepared as much as I could since I was going out at night.
gulp-
After drinking almost all of the potion he could drink, Lee Han stood up.
“Then see you later.”
“Take care of yourself.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“……”
Gainando looked very dissatisfied with the warm conversation.
“How is it different from what I said?”
“Are you serious?”
* * *
“uh? “It came out!”
“really?”
Coholti, a fourth grade student, and his friends were surprised.
I never thought I would get out of the tower in this kind of weather.
“Are you a freshman?”
“You’re not an ordinary freshman.”
The friends nodded at Coholty’s words.
The sight of him firing magic like a madman in the twisted dimensional hallway the other day was still vivid in my eyes.
Usually freshmen didn’t do that.
– Did I tell you? The head of the Wardanaz family made a decision and made a contract with the Great Devil…
-Are the Wardanaz family crazy enough to do something like that?
-Then, the more moderate hypothesis I presented is that the head of the Wardanaz family is a dragon…
-Hey guys. It’s good to have discussions, but let’s be careful not to talk about things that could get us assassinated by the Wardanaz family when we go out.
Delet cursed, saying, ‘You bastards, you’ll solve it,’ but Coholty and his friends took a realistic approach.
To solve the twisted dimensional corridor right now, you need quite a lot of magical power -> There is almost no way to take a significant amount of magical power to the twisted dimensional corridor without loss -> In this situation, shouldn’t you at least ask for help from a new student?
Of course, Delet and other upper-graders would criticize them, saying, ‘Those bastards are putting all the fourth-graders to shame,’ but Coholty and his friends didn’t have an ounce of shame in their hearts.
-Then, you guys have to deal with the twisted dimensional hallway while being chased by the professor!
So Coholty and his friends were waiting around the Blue Dragon Tower without Dirette’s knowledge.
It probably won’t come out, but if I’m lucky enough to come out, I’ll contact you.
But I never thought it would come out like this.
“Send a message! message!”
“wait. I am going right now!”
The fourth grade students calmed down their excitement and cast magic.
Because of the Skeleton Principal’s strict surveillance, contact with new students meant risking one’s life, but that didn’t mean there was no way.
The 4th grade students also experienced hardships at this school.
Tuk-
The paper bird flew around and landed at Lee Han’s feet.
“?”
Lee Han looked puzzled and picked up the paper.
Courageous and wise freshman. Come to the hallway of the twisted dimension that Professor Mortum guided you to.
If you do so, faithful wizards will reward your devotion!
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
‘Is there letter fraud in magic schools?’
Splash! Splash!
Lee Han tore up the letter and threw it away without a single thought. If you took it for no reason and a strange magic was applied to it, it would be a pain in the ass.
