Episode 227
While listening, I didn’t think, ‘That’s strange. I must have been attacked in the morning to implement something like that,’ but Lee Han decided not to say it.
Even if I said it, I didn’t think it would be a good thing.
“Often, some wizards only look at the results of summoning magic and mistakenly believe that it is the easiest and most convenient magic… If you came here with that illusion, please leave now.”
Professor Millais spoke in a stern voice. Gainando, who wanted to get up to go to the bathroom, looked at me and sat down again.
‘Well, summoning magic does require a lot of preliminary work.’
Lee Han was contemplating what he had just heard, not noticing Guyando groaning next to him.
Right now, wizards from other schools had to cast several spells in succession to make the dancing sword appear as magic.
However, summoning wizards just had to summon a dancing sword.
Looking at these results alone, summoning magic seemed much easier and more convenient…
Of course, if there were advantages, there were also disadvantages. There is no such thing as perfect magic.
In order to summon a dancing sword at once, several preliminary tasks must be completed.
Either compress the magic in advance into an octahedral-shaped metal that has been treated with magic like the one Professor Millais just threw (this is why summoning magic requires a lot of these reagents), or compress the magic into a magic circle.
‘But making a contract with an intelligent being is just as difficult.’
Lee Han looked at the piece of Sharkan’s bone hanging on his belt.
If Lee Han hadn’t made an effort to become close to Sharkan, he might have bitten off his neck while he was sleeping.
Rattling!
Sharkan’s bone fragments moved as if in protest.
“Today, we will practice making the reagents and magic circle needed for summoning magic. It may be tedious, but remember that there is no room for error in summoning magic. “It is not uncommon for a summoned item to attack a wizard.”
“Lee Han. “Lee Han.”
When Gainando touched it, Lee Han nodded as if he understood.
“Don’t worry. Cainan Island. “I will help you.”
“!”
Ha Ha was the first student who came to the classroom and tried to understand what the professor was teaching.
A student who came to the classroom, listened to what the professor was teaching, and then tried to understand it later was a middle student.
An experienced student has already studied the material taught by the professor to some extent before arriving.
And Lee Han was that kind of person.
A person who has no trust in professors at all!
“ruler. You may be familiar with this quill summoning magic circle, as you have done it a few times, but there are some difficult parts if you try to make it yourself from scratch. “The area around this ◇ pattern is a representative trap…”
“Well… that’s not it…”
“Even if it’s difficult, just be patient. “I’ll explain it well.”
“I want to go to the bathroom, you bastard!”
* * *
Nodding, nodding-
‘Oh my.’
Lee Han lamented as he saw the White Tiger Top student nodding his head next to him.
Looking at this part, I could clearly feel that my friends were first year students.
How dare you doze off like that?
If Lee Han were to sleep (although he would never doze off), he would never doze off so carelessly.
‘Professor Millais must have already caught you.’
Looking around, I noticed that it wasn’t just the White Tiger Tower students who were dozing off, but there were students dozing off from all of the towers.
It could have been so.
If you sit still and draw magic circles and engrave letters and patterns using specially made magic ink and various magic stone powders, even if you are a wizard with a steely mind, you will not be able to avoid getting sleepy.
There weren’t many people like Lee Han who could think, ‘Well, this is new’ even after repeating this task for 24 hours.
‘Are we done?’
Lee Han checked the completed magic circle.
It was a magic circle that did not simply use paper and ink, but also contained various materials such as metal pieces and magic stone powder.
As the item you are trying to summon with summoning magic becomes more complex, the magic circle also becomes more complex.
Lee Han also made a few mistakes and had to rewrite it.
This is what it takes to summon a magic quill that scrawls ‘I am a student of summoning magic’.
I was worried about how complicated it would become if I went higher.
‘Now that I think about it, a professor can just order his students to do it.’
Thinking about the amount of labor hidden behind the fancy magic, Lee Han became bitter.
When people in the empire think of magic, they think of spectacular miracles, but in reality, everything in the world works in the same way.
“Good job.”
Before I knew it, Professor Millay had come closer and was staring at Lee Han’s work.
Professor Millay’s personality was strict when it came to compliments, so if he received that kind of praise, it was a compliment that he had done really well.
“thank you. “I was lucky.”
“…I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.”
“?”
Lee Han wondered what Professor Millay was talking about.
‘What do you mean, misunderstanding?’
Did you mistakenly think that Lee Han’s level of summoning magic was at the level of Gainando, seeing him hanging out with Gainando earlier?
If that was the case, I should have apologized.
“no. it’s okay.”
“It will still take more time for the other students. “In the meantime, feel free to do whatever you want.”
“uh…”
Lee Han paused.

It was easy to be mistaken, but you shouldn’t just ignore professors when they say things like that.
This is because the meaning of those words varies depending on the professor’s personality.
When Professor Garcia said, ‘Do whatever you want during your spare time, student,’ it was really okay.
I was able to lie down and take a nap with a few chairs in the classroom next to each other.
However, when the skeleton principal said, ‘Do what you want with your spare time,’ taking a nap was suicidal.
Perhaps, the moment I closed my eyes, I would have been transported to a punishment room.
‘There’s a simple way to find out.’
“Will the professor check the results?”
If you were to check the results of creating a magic circle or reagent, it wasn’t really about doing it freely. It was closer to ‘I’ll see how far you can go, so don’t play around and work hard.’
If you don’t check, you can rest in peace.
‘Hmm.’
Professor Noh was troubled by the words spoken by the student from the Wardanaz family.
Originally, Professor Millais did not like giving special treatment to one student.
Equality and strictness.
That was Professor Millay’s belief.
Therefore, no matter how talented Lee Han is at summoning magic, it is difficult to see his additional results separately from other students…
‘But there is a mistake.’
Professor Millay reflected.
Professor Millais himself, who must follow the rules of fairness to his students, initially treated the boy from the Wardanaz family with prejudice.
I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him because I thought he was an arrogant student who was intoxicated by his talent.
then…
“great. “Let me check.”
“……”
‘shit.’
Lee Han grumbled inwardly.
Professor Millais ended up being like a skeleton principal.
What does freedom mean?
“All right.”
Lee Han sighed inwardly and began playing with his quill.
Of all the things that Lee Han can do at this level, the only one that won’t make Professor Millais say something like ‘Is that all there is?’…
‘Is it a floating shield after all?’
Although Lee Han received a passing grade from Professor Boladi for all forms of elemental transformation, it was not without its pros and cons.
After all, wizards are bound to be familiar with the forms they frequently use.
In that respect, the forms that Lee Han is most familiar with right now are beads and shields.
A shield would be more impressive than an orb.
‘Currently, autonomous movement is impossible even with magic, so some parts will have to be accomplished through expedient methods.’
Even though a shield that moves and blocks on its own is difficult, a shield that blocks by staying in place can still be made with various elements.
This alone may look a little weak, so if you add a little movement even if it is imperfect…
‘But what are you trying to do?’
Since Professor Millais was also a wizard, he couldn’t be without curiosity.
Moreover, objectively speaking, Lee Han is one of the most talented students in this grade.
It was natural to wonder what such a student would do when given free time.
‘Looking at its shape, it appears to be a shield.’
Professor Millais felt a little sad.
The greed was a little excessive.
Perhaps, seeing as he was handling a water bead the other day, it was clear that he had a lot of confidence in the water elemental form.
But the decision was wrong.
First, you need to become familiar with the water shield magic and be able to draw the magic structure and flow of the magic even with your eyes closed before you can draw it as a magic circle.
Otherwise, it would have been reckless to start with the magic circle first.
Even though it was the same water element magic, the bead and shield forms were completely different.
‘But failure can also be a lesson.’
Professor Millay nodded faintly and cheered inwardly.
There was no wizard who did not fail.
It just depends on how you accept that failure.
* * *
“Everyone worked hard.”
Lee Han raised his head.
Other students had also roughly completed the magic circle and were stretching out.
‘I’m almost done. ‘It’s a shame.’
“I think everyone will be very disappointed when the lecture ends like this today.”
The students hesitated to answer Professor Millay’s words, not knowing if they could answer ‘Yes!’
“yes!”
The students were impressed when they saw Gai Nando giving a cool answer.
Professor Millais accepted generously.
“Of course.”
“So boring…”
Lee Han stabbed Gai Nan Dao in the side from an invisible angle. Gainando was speechless.
“But the process we did today is a process that any wizard who walks the path of summoning magic will go through thousands or tens of thousands of times in the future. “It would be better to prepare in advance.”
Professor Millais waved his cane as he spoke.
Then the shape of the classroom changed. Students were pushed to the corner, leaving a large empty space in the middle.
“We will spend the rest of today learning about contracts.”
“…!”
“!!!”
The students’ expressions brightened.
It is not a complex and headache-inducing summoning of inanimate objects, but a summoning that involves meeting, communicating with, and making contracts with beings from another world.
Actually, this was a more common image of summoning magic.
‘That’s because it’s dangerous.’
As Lee Han-in had no choice but to contract with an unheard of spirit like Perkuntra, he was well aware of the dangers of such a contract.
Why would a contract with an intelligent being be dangerous?
This was because the other party could f*ck up the wizard at any time.
This was especially true if the wizard was a first-year student. It was no small feat to deceive young wizards from a devil who had been in the demon world for hundreds of years.
Of course, Professor Millais was well aware of such risks.
“Never, ever try to peek or explore other planes when only students are present.”
The magic circle that Professor Millais had currently cast in the center of the classroom was a passage with some kind of safety device.
A passage that provides a glimpse into the spirit world, but there are limits to the spirit power that can be accessed.
Beings more powerful than a certain level could not approach at all.
‘The professor is so strict about safety rules, but I don’t know what kind of nonsense your seniors did to summon the king of the frost giants.’
Lee Han was lost in thought, cursing the absent seniors.
“Student Lee Han.”
“yes?”
“Please have this student use this magic circle.”
“May I ask why?”
Lee Han was puzzled when Professor Millais summoned a magic circle other than the spirit world magic circle.
“I heard that spirits avoid students. “I found one of the realms of the undead and opened it.”
“…thank you.”
Lee Han tried not to show his bitterness.
