Episode 212
‘I can’t help it.’
The skeleton principal thought to himself, unaware of Lee Han’s inner thoughts even in his dreams.
Ogonin was not a magician who would give lectures obediently even if he was threatened or humiliated, but seeing him do that…
It was clear that Lee Han’s polite behavior had moved me quite a bit.
It was a shame that I couldn’t embarrass him more, but I couldn’t help it if he gave in to that level.
Isn’t it something that an archmage like Ogonin teaches directly?
It was a rare opportunity that even the wizards here in the tower did not easily receive.
Tsk. Ogonin. Let’s say I pay off my debt with this. Teach them well.
“I will… do my best.”
The skeleton principal floated out and went out.
It was rude to be around another wizard while he was teaching.
“Are you okay?”
“hmm?”
Ogonin smiled slightly at Lee Han’s question.
From the looks of it, it seemed like it would be okay to receive one-on-one instruction from an archmage like Ogonin without any compensation.
It was a natural reaction since I was still young.
“It’s okay. I do it because I want to, not because of coercion or threats. “You don’t have to worry about it.”
“It’s not that, I’m afraid the principal will harass the people outside…”
“…It’s okay, it’ll be okay. maybe.”
Ogonin was slightly embarrassed by the very objective and realistic appearance of Gonadaltes’ disciple.
…Are you a disciple?
* * *
Ogonin, who heard about the illusion magic that Lee Han knew about, nodded and said.
“Farhait’s fantasy magic series. “Farhait, that guy is a pretty good illusion wizard.”
‘You’re a bit rude.’
Ihan, who did not know the relationship between Ogonin and Farhait, thought to himself.
“It’s a fantasy magic that uses the fire element as its base, so it’s easy for beginners to learn and apply. “If I had to point out a drawback, it would be that the effectiveness is reduced in cold places.”
“Uh… I casted it in a cold place and it worked well.”
“hmm? aha. “It must be because it has so much magical power.”
Ogonin nodded as if he understood.
However, there was already a hint of suspicion in Lee Han’s gaze.
“Farhait’s illusion magic is a good magic, but I will teach you another magic. “It’s a little rough, but I think it’ll be quite useful.”
In fact, Ogonin’s words were overly humble.
The magic that Ogonin was trying to teach me now was a vision magic that Ogonin had created himself.
A vision magic that is respected and called ‘Ogonin’s illusion magic’ by other illusion wizards!
Although many fantasy magicians admired the neat structure, sharp ideas, and outstanding effects of this magic, Ogonin did not make this arcane magic widely known.
The other fantasy magics I developed myself were in contrast to those published in books.
There is one reason.
Because it was so difficult and demanding, they were not sure if it would be taught properly unless taught directly.
‘But this boy deserves to learn.’
It wasn’t just a promise to the skeleton principal that he would do his best.
Ogonin was not without pride, to the extent of neglecting the arcane magic he had created in order to repay his debt.
Ogonin already knew that Lee Han was an unusually polite and considerate boy.
That’s what happened at the magic school during the festival, and that’s exactly what happened during today’s duel.
And if you have enough magical talent to be taught directly by the skeleton headmaster…
If it was a boy like that, it would be okay to teach him.
“What magic is this?”
“hmm. I didn’t give it a specific name, but… other wizards call it Ogonin’s Arcane Illusion Magic, so I think you can call it that too.”
‘I’ve never heard of it.’
Lee Han wondered to himself.
Of course, the empire’s magic system was vast, and of course there were unique magics that Lee Han had never heard of.
However, it was true that magic that I had heard about was more trustworthy than magic that I had never heard of.
…It’s okay, right?
‘after. ‘I think you’re thinking too negatively.’
Lee Han thought calmly.
Anyway, it seemed like Ogonin was not a completely incompetent wizard.
He runs this tower, is respected by other wizards, and has written various books…
…Of course, I showed my ugly side a lot in front of Lee Han, but when a person leaves active duty and retires, his senses become rusty.
Although he is now retired and his abilities have declined over time, it was clear that he was a great wizard in his prime.
Ogonin, who had never retired, continued speaking without knowing Lee Han’s true feelings.
“Farhait is excellent at not only illusion magic but also the application of the fire element, and has developed several magics that combine the two realms. As I just said, these are magics with clear advantages.”
Imperial magic, like any other discipline, developed over time.
It was only natural that later generations of magicians learned from the magic of their predecessors and refined it.
And this trend of development was mainly focused on convenience and efficiency.
If there is a magic that requires 100 effort to learn, it requires 10 effort.
If there is a spell that requires 100 magic power to cast, it requires 10 magic power.
When magic developed in this way appeared, it replaced the existing ineffective magic and brought about a new trend.

Farhait’s illusion magic that Lee Han learned was also that type of magic.
It was a magic created using the fire element, so it was easy to learn and apply, but…
“But if there are advantages, there are also disadvantages. Farhaite’s illusion magic is not suitable for mastering illusion magic itself. “Illusory magic casted using other elements are also unsuitable in that respect.”
If you create illusions with things like fire, cold, or earth, the difficulty of learning magic may go down, but you will be far from the core of illusion magic.
Ogonin thought that even if the difficulty level was difficult, in order to properly learn illusion magic, one had to take a difficult path from the beginning.
Lee Han, who was diligently taking notes, asked.
“Then how should I summon the illusion?”
“Only with pure magical power. “It is a path that is difficult to imagine and difficult to control, but it is the most direct path.”
Ogonin said and pointed to the chair next to him. A second Ogonin was sitting on the chair so casually that it was hard to notice.
“Try to touch it.”
Ihan touched the second Ogonin.
Surprisingly, Ogonin did not distort or disappear. I endured it with a strong sense of mass.
It was a completely different fantasy from Farhait’s fantasy.
“It is an illusion that materializes the concept of myself.”
“You are amazing.”
Lee Han was honestly impressed.
After all, even though I’m retired, don’t I still have my skills?
“You too will learn soon.”
Ogonin said with happy eyes as he looked at the future great wizard.
“By the way, what circle magic is this?”
“…5 circles…”
“……”
Ogonin belatedly realized the mistake he had made at the bewildering look in Lee Han’s eyes.
Because I was hanging out with the tower’s wizards, I had forgotten that the boy in front of me was a new student.
“I didn’t necessarily mean to learn this now. “Please know that this is a magic that you will learn someday.”
“ah. yes. okay.”
Ogonin quickly changed his words. However, Lee Han’s eyes were slightly cold.
“The magic I teach isn’t just about creating your own clone. “There are many things that are relatively easy.”
“okay. for a moment. But why didn’t you teach me that first…”
In response to Lee Han’s question, Ogonin pretended not to hear.
Creating an illusionary clone of oneself was a truly advanced form of magic, and there were many much easier spells in illusion magic.
1st circle magic. <Recognition of Ogonin’s Emotions>.
It was a semi-essential magic for fantasy wizards who could read the emotions emitted by living creatures around them.
The fantasy magic used also changes depending on the other person’s emotions.
2nd circle magic. <Ogonin’s rising anxiety>, <Ogonin’s rising fear>, <Ogonin’s rising despair>.
It was a mental interference-type fantasy magic that directly affected the opponent’s emotions.
In order to learn more advanced mental interference magic, you had to learn the tricks of these spells.
3 circle magic. <Ogonin’s Light Dance (薄霧)>.
It was a magic that spread a fog of illusion around the wizard, dispersing the focus of external enemies so that they could not aim properly when attacking.
If the spell was cast properly, a fairly wide range of allies could be protected from long-distance attacks.
‘…Something is strange.’
Lee Han, who was practicing explaining things one by one, felt a sense of discomfort.
The magic is so…
It was difficult.
Even within the same circle, the level of difficulty varies greatly depending on the type of magic used, but all of the magic taught by Ogonin was very difficult.
So much so that Lee Han feels uncomfortable.
“Hmm. “Is it still a bit difficult?”
Ogonin cautiously asked if he had sensed what Lee Han was thinking.
“yes. “Maybe it’s because I’m not good enough, but it’s not that easy.”
“It’s not because you are lacking. “This magic is very difficult.”
“no. “Maybe it’s because I’m not good enough.”
“no. “It’s really difficult magic.”
Ogonin kindly explained to Lee Han when he seemed to misunderstand.
Just as I pointed out the shortcomings of Farheit’s illusion magic earlier, Ogonin did not prefer adding other elements to illusion magic.
Reject any compromise or improvement, only pure fantasy magic!
The level of difficulty will increase significantly, but in the long run, it is ultimately considered the shortest path.
Of course, Ogonin’s arcane magic was a single-minded fantasy magic without any compromise or improvement.
If magic like <Recognition of Ogonin’s Emotions> were any other fantasy magic, it would have utilized elements such as the opponent’s eye movements, muscle movements, or changes in body temperature.
However, there is only one <Ogonin’s Emotion Recognition>.
To the point of persistence, I judged only the other person’s soul.
The level of difficulty is bound to be difficult.
“……”
After hearing the explanation, Lee Han had a shocked expression on his face.
As expected from a retired wizard whose time has passed, the teachings are a bit…
* * *
Did you learn well?
“Teaching is difficult, so I feel like I’ve taken a step back.”
I guess so. Because Ogonin is a fundamentalist. However, even in the Empire, there are not many wizards who adhere to pure classical fantasy magic like Ogonin. If you learn it well, it will be helpful in many ways.
“I will try.”
He answered that way, but Lee Han doubted whether he would delve deeply into the magic he had learned today.
There are already a lot of magics to learn, but if you have to do such difficult magic…
Still, you’re lucky.
“?”
It’s clear that Ogonin likes you. He said he would make time every week to teach me. Come visit us every weekend. I will connect you with Ogonin.
“……”
Lee Han’s expression hardened.
Even if learning magic on the weekend is a hassle, bear with it. Because this is a really good opportunity. I’m not being grumpy.
“I didn’t say anything.”
Why did you curse with your eyes?
As Lee Han tried to get into the carriage, fantasy wizards came running out from inside the tower.
The skeleton principal frowned at the sight of him trying to say goodbye.
I felt like I was sick of friendship.
“I will never forget today’s duel. “I wish you all the best.”
“I hope that one day your name will be heard in the dueling world. really. “What is your family name and family name?”
“This is Ihan of the Wardanaz family.”
“okay. Ihan of the Wardanaz family. As expected of an outstanding knight, his family name is… hmm?”
The illusion wizards paused.
Yes?
Meanwhile, the skeleton headmaster closed the carriage door.
“Sleep, wait a minute. dismissal.”
Stop being a bother and get out of there. Before cracking the whip.
“I just said it was the Wardanaz family… ah! “You can’t believe you’re cracking the whip for something like this!”
The Archmage does not lie. go away!
