Episode 237
However, the generous Professor Boladi did not blame his student for his shortcomings.
A good educator is always generous.
A true educator was one who guided a student to the right path even if he or she tried to use expedient methods.
“no…”
Lee Han was astonished to see Professor Boladi running towards him with his sword drawn.
Isn’t this really too much?
* * *
“It’s pretty good.”
Lee Han stretched out on the floor of the classroom and did not respond. His whole body was sore from being beaten.
An excellent swordsman is not only good at using the sword, but also at punching and kicking.
Professor Boladi struck furiously until Ihan turned his cloak to steel.
Lee Han then succeeded in turning not only the cloak but also other clothes into steel.
‘I just didn’t know, is violence actually effective in education?’
Lee Han shook his head to get rid of such idle thoughts.
“But it’s still slow. “Always wear something made of steel.”
Transformation wizards had to be familiar with not only the items they wore, but also the materials they were trying to transform.
If you were a wizard like Lee Han who wanted to become familiar with steel, it would be a good idea to become familiar with all the elements of steel, including its color, texture, weight, and scent.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Don’t forget to practice floating ice shield.”
“yes.”
“Advanced attribute transformation of water element.”
“yes.”
‘You used to not talk this much.’
You only talk a lot when giving assignments to your students.
Lee Han cursed inwardly and prepared an excuse.
A foolish student only makes up excuses for not completing the assignment on the same day, but a smart student builds up excuses step by step from the first day he receives the assignment.
“By the way, Professor. There are a lot of lectures I’m taking right now, so it may take some time. As the professor said, my goal is to respond perfectly to every possible situation by organically connecting various schools of magic.”
It wasn’t something Lee Han wanted to do, but there was no better excuse than this.
Even if he were a professor without blood or tears, if he saw the list of lectures Lee Han was taking, he would have no choice but to say, ‘Okay, take your time.’
Professor Boladi nodded.
Lee Han sighed in relief.
‘Somehow it worked.’
“There is a way.”
“…yes?”
A gathering ominousness.
Surely it’s not something like ‘don’t sleep’?
“I asked Professor Verdus, and he said he was thinking about a simple artifact as a pre-final assignment.”
“aha.”
It wasn’t that Einrogard’s professors didn’t usually give assignments.
In the first place, the hobby of professors was to give assignments every week.
However, there were times when assignments were given more seriously than usual.
A task that is difficult and requires a lot of work.
That was the pre-final assignment.
For students, this task is like an ominous hint that ‘final exams are approaching.’
‘Is it already starting?’
Lee Han was lost in thought.
If Professor Bible’s pre-final assignment was to create a simple artifact…
‘Fireworks would be nice.’
Magic fireworks.
Lee Han was confident that he could make fireworks well, as he had made them (forcefully) at the last festival.
No matter what level the professor wants, considering the level of fantasy-type enchantment that I (forcedly) learned last time, I would be able to pass.
“Submit a floating shield for that task.”
“…yes?”
Lee Han, who was thinking about eating raw food, stopped when Professor Boladi said.
what?
Professor Boladi said with a hint of puzzlement, ‘Why do I have to explain such an obvious thing in detail?’
“Where is the stagnant part of the <Floating Ice Shield> spell now?”
“The shield is the part that protects the caster.”
The <Floating Ice Shield> spell was a difficult spell.
It was natural.
…Because it was a 4-circle spell!
Even considering that it was a 4-circle magic, it was a difficult magic.
The first barrier is dealing with the cold element, which is difficult to maintain naturally.
The secondary barrier is to withstand the enormous magical power consumption of maintaining such an element in the form of a shield.
Lastly, granting autonomy to this shield is the third barrier.
In fact, it was strange that Lee Han had already broken through the first and second barriers and only left the third barrier.
“okay. “If we create a floating shield artifact, we can break through the stagnant area.”

“…aha!”
“Are you even tired? “You miss something so obvious.”
Of course, Lee Han didn’t say ‘Aha’ because he was truly convinced.
I was so dumbfounded that I said ‘Aha’.
So now…
Do you really want to test your limits on a task that is easy enough?
‘no. ‘Has it never occurred to you that I might fail?’
Whether Lee Han cursed under his breath or not, Professor Boladi said what he had to say.
“and.”
“…yes?”
Lee Han became even more ominous.
Does this mean this wasn’t the end?
“Professor Millais was thinking about making contracts with otherworldly beings as a pre-final assignment.”
“ah. That’s right. “I also made a contract with the undead.”
It was a mess because there was an intruder over the weekend, but seeing as Professor Millais created a magic circle with various safety devices, it wouldn’t be surprising if a contract was presented as a pre-final assignment.
Lee Han was relieved.
Fortunately, one of the tasks had already been completed.
‘It’s a good thing you signed a contract with a skeleton warrior.’
“Right. “Find the water spirit in the spirit world.”
“……”
The skeleton principal with whom Lee Han had made a contract with the undead and Professor Boladi, with whom he had made a contract, did not care.
“It will help you learn advanced property conversion of the water element.”
“professor. Actually, the spirits tend to avoid me. “Even if I were to sign a contract, they wouldn’t like it.”
“Suppress him and then receive his teachings on the condition of not making a contract.”
“aha…”
* * *
Even the students who were not that scared when they heard that an intruder had come in became terrified when the pre-final assignments began one by one.
“Well, do we really have to make a simple artifact?”
“Is that so? “Have you enjoyed it?”
“Well, we have too many assignments right now?”
“huh? whatever?”
“So, Professor. There are a lot of tasks, and if more is added here…”
“Even if you have a lot of homework, aren’t you going to sleep and eat? Are you going to rest in your spare time? “You can have fun then, right?”
“……”
“Nong, are you kidding?”
Dergyu, who was next to me, whispered in a shocked voice.
Lee Han shook his head with a bitter expression.
When I looked at Moradi, he had a shocked look on his face and his mouth was slightly open.
Even for Moradi, who is quite mentally strong, the pre-final assignments seemed quite shocking.
“Umm… mmmm.”
“Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”
Among the students listening to bestowing magic, there were many White Tiger Tower students.
And White Tiger Tower students basically did not like sitting at their desks for long periods of time.
Occasionally, there were wizards who would say to the imperial newspaper, ‘I use magic based on intuition and inspiration, not theory,’ but that was close to bragging.
Just as the top student in your grade says, ‘I didn’t study separately and only focused on the lectures’, it’s not true, just as magic is not so easy that you can get through it with intuition and inspiration alone, without theory.
However, White Tiger Tower students still believed in intuition and inspiration.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“Why… why do we have to do this, Moradi? Why are you doing this to us? “What did I do wrong?”
“I’m trying to learn body strengthening magic, not doing petty blacksmith work like this!”
“……”
Giselle looked at her friends, wondering whether she should kill them or not.
Anyone who sees it now will think that I told them to go into the Blue Dragon Tower and catch Wodanaz.
Giselle only ordered something really simple.
-Each person needs to make a simple artifact, so try drawing a simple design on paper.
Then, the White Tiger Tower students twisted their bodies and hit their foreheads on their desks in pain.
Lee Han was thankful when he saw that.
‘Thanks to guys like that, my rank is going up.’
“Lee Han?”
“ah. sorry. Durgyu. “How much did I say?”
“hmm. “I want to enchant my shield with luminescence. What do you think of this design?”
“It’s okay overall, but there are a few inefficient parts. And the edge here has a twisted circuit. There is a possibility that the magic will not work or will break.”
“Yes, indeed.”
Dergyu looked at Lee Han with eyes full of respect.
Of course, Lee Han was always a reliable friend, but as the exam approached, he became several times more reliable.
Where can you find such a reliable friend in the face of a storm of assignments?
“Then… here…”
Dergyu, who was diligently revising the design following the advice he received from Lee Han, suddenly became curious and asked.
“But Lee Han. What are you going to make and submit?”
“…floating steel shield.”
“Boo, floating steel shield?! Is it really a shield that autonomously protects the wizard??”
“…okay.”
“Wow… amazing!!!”
Durgyu was impressed.
And then I was puzzled.
‘uh?’
The senior student’s expression was rotting, as if he had chewed something.
“Is there something wrong, Lee Han?”
“No… nothing.”
Next to me, several White Tiger Tower students heard the conversation and looked at me in astonishment.
“Did you hear? “What kind of artifact does Wardanaz make?”
“What are you making? Bone Dragon?”
“Does that make sense? “They say it makes a floating shield!”
“Boo…floating shield?!”
‘Isn’t the Bone Dragon even more ridiculous?’
Although the White Tiger Tower students lacked some magic skills, they did not lack the ability to see magic.
Even if they came from a family of knights, or rather, because they came from a family of knights, there were some magics that they came into close contact with.
Those from knight families are bound to be more familiar with enchantment and healing magic.
“You’re talking about blocking things voluntarily, right?”
A shield that has its own will and protects its owner.
It was an artifact that every knight dreams of.
Naturally, the White Tiger Tower students knew how rare and expensive these artifacts were.
“If I… make it, can I get one?”
“……”
“Wardanaz. “Is there anything you need?”
The White Tiger Tower students quietly approached Lee Han.
That’s how much I wanted it.
A floating shield artifact.
Lee Han clicked his tongue and said.
“I heard something strange somewhere… You heard it wrong.”
“ah. “Really?”
The White Tiger Tower students became embarrassed.
Actually, when I thought about it, it was a bit strange.
Giving autonomy to the shield was a magic of enormous difficulty.
Even if he is Wardanaz, isn’t he a first-year student?
There was no way I could do something like that.
“Where on earth did you hear such a rumor and then spread it?”
“that’s right. “You bastard.”
“Jin, I really heard it…”
While the White Tiger Tower students were scolding their friend for hearing something wrong, Lee Han kindly explained.
“ruler. Look. “What is an artifact?”
“……”
“…Wodanaz. “You’re not ignoring us too much… It’s an item with an enchantment…”
“To be exact, it is a semi-permanent item.”
If you cast an enchantment and it disappears a few days later, it was not an artifact.
No matter how good a magic is, it must be maintained semi-permanently to be considered an artifact.
As such, bestowing wizards who specialize in artifact production put great effort into maintaining this semi-permanence.
Of course, this itself was a field of enormous difficulty, and it was definitely not a field that freshmen would touch.
“Do you understand?”
“Uh, huh. But why is this suddenly explained…?”
“What I’m trying to do is to temporarily grant autonomy to the shield, not to grant it semi-permanently. Do you understand? So please don’t spread strange rumors about creating a floating shield artifact.”
“……”
“……”
The White Tiger Tower students, who had been tilting their heads as they listened to the explanation, paused.
…So anyway, you’re ultimately going to make a floating shield, right??!
