Episode 273
‘The professor may certainly be right.’
Lee Han thought so as he returned home from work in the garden.
Even though the phoenix was causing my academic concentration to drop like crazy, it might have been a mistake to get caught up in it.
Even if you try to stop something that you can’t do anything about, it will only end up being painful.
It might have been better to accept the Phoenix as a skeleton headmaster and just do his job.
“Wardanaz!! Wardanaaz!!!”
White Tiger Tower students ran toward Lee Han, who was walking from the hut.
Since there were few people around, Lee Han first gave a warning.
“for a moment. say it there “Don’t come any closer.”
“Now is not the time for this!! Follow me!!”
“It’s even more suspicious.”
“…ah! It’s not really!! “Please believe me!!!”
The White Tiger Tower student cried and rolled around on the floor.
Even my friend next to me was shocked by the ugly appearance.
“…Yeah, yeah. Take the lead.”
If that was acting, it was so desperate that I felt like I had to go even if it was a trap.
* * *
“……”
“……”
Lee Han was so shocked that he could not keep his mouth shut.
The students from each tower who came first had similar expressions.
Grumble!
The warehouse where the assignments for the <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> final exam were collected was on fire.
“…The warehouse must be flame-proof, right? “How is it burning?”
“They say the phoenix opened the warehouse door and went inside.”
“……”
Even if there was a fire-retardant spell on the outer wall of the warehouse, there was no way it could survive if you opened the door and rolled around.
Lee Han looked around.
From students bursting out laughing as if they were losing their minds, to students crying and slamming their fists on the floor.
It was a natural reaction since the final exam for <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> was going down in an instant.
“Everyone, let’s turn off the lights first.”
“uh? Uh…uhh.”
“Isn’t it too much to turn it off now?”
The students murmured, but Lee Han spoke with his actions.
Summon water from the air and throw it.
It was a simple magic, but only Lee Han could do it to continuously summon a huge mass of water in front of the phoenix’s flames.
After repeating this dozens of times, the fire subsided. Lee Han made a bitter expression as he looked inside the warehouse, which had been reduced to ashes.
‘I worked hard to make it.’
“It won’t work.”
“???”
“Let’s catch the phoenix and study first.”
“Wardanaz…!”
The students’ eyes widened at Lee Han’s words.
Are you really planning to capture the phoenix?
“We will be together!”
“I offer my sword to you. Wodanaz!”
“Now that it’s like this, final exams have nothing to do with it!”
“That’s not it.”
“Uh, huh.”
* * *
Of course, no matter how angry he was, Lee Han was not stupid enough to go out to catch the phoenix with only his friends.
“professor. “Could you help me hunt the phoenix?”
“…yes?”
Professor Garcia was embarrassed, but did not stop or reject the students.
“Of course, these experiences help a wizard grow, but I think hunting a phoenix would be too difficult…”
“I plan to ask other professors for help as well.”
Professor Garcia hesitated at Lee Han’s words.
‘I don’t think it will work.’
Usually, professors at magic schools didn’t like helping students.
The old theory that wizards grow only when they explore on their own was an old theory, but Professor Garcia suspected that it might actually be because he was too lazy to help students with each and every task.
“I. Student Lee Han. Actually, the professors are busier than I thought…”
Professor Garcia tried to persuade Lee Han without hurting him.
But Lee Han already knew.
“I know.”
Professors were originally meant to make students do work, not help them with their work.
But sometimes there are exceptions.
bang!

“Professor Verdus! Please help our new student!”
“what? no!”
When I opened the door to Seonggak-gwan and entered, Professor Verdus, who was busy working with a hammer and chisel, flatly refused.
Lee Han was not embarrassed and continued.
“If you help me, I will help you too!”
“Okay then!”
Professor Verdus jumped down from his chair.
Professor Garcia, who saw this, became worried and asked.
“I. Lee Han student? Professor Verdus is one of the professors who does a lot of work…”
No matter how much Professor Verdus’ help was needed, it was dangerous to hastily make such a promise.
“You don’t have to worry.”
“??”
“You haven’t decided what’s going on. All you have to do is get the simple tasks done and make excuses.”
“……”
Professor Garcia blinked.
“…So, are you deceiving me?”
“no. professor. It’s not a trick, it’s a clever speech technique. “I think the principal will agree.”
“……”
Professor Garcia had no choice but to question whether character education was truly being carried out properly.
bang!
“Professor Bagrek! “I’m trying to hunt a phoenix, so please help me!”
Professor Boladi, who was sitting, slightly raised his eyebrows, nodded, and stood up.
Then he noticed the gathered students and gave them a slightly puzzled look.
“Wasn’t it a one-on-one deal?”
“…I’m not that good.”
* * *
At first, Professor Garcia wondered if it would be okay, but when Professor Verdus and Professor Bagrek joined, his thoughts changed.
Of course, Einrogard’s professors had to help students only at an ‘appropriate’ level.
You can’t just get rid of the phoenix because the students want to get rid of it.
However, if you receive an appropriate level of help from multiple people, the story is different.
And who can say anything about helping a little more when you don’t even have eyes to see?
good night! I will join too!
“……”
“……”
The atmosphere of the first-year students, who had been friendly with their professors, became cold.
The skeleton principal asked as if asking why.
Why is everyone like that?
“I think I’m thrilled that the principal is helping me.”
Guy… it’s okay. I understand everything.
The skeleton headmaster said generously. Lee Han cursed inwardly.
‘shit. I should have covered the Death Knights’ eyes somehow.’
There was no way the skeleton principal would just come to help.
It was clear that the professors had probably heard from the Death Knights that they were helping and came to interfere.
It’s so petty!
ruler. So… how do you plan on capturing the Phoenix? Tell me. Surely Einrogard’s student didn’t just try to rely on the professor without thinking?
“No.”
Shh!
When Professor Garcia spoke, the skeleton headmaster quickly covered his mouth.
Be quiet. I won’t allow you to talk to each other using secret passwords!
“There is no such thing…”
Whether Professor Garcia was embarrassed or not, the skeleton principal was thorough.
Among the professors here, the only one who could help Lee Han was Professor Garcia.
‘Aren’t other professors blocking it? …hmm. There’s no need to stop it.’
Lee Han looked at Professor Verdus and Professor Boladi and nodded.
Looking at the two, I understood why the skeleton principal didn’t stop them.
“Of course, I have something in mind.”
At first glance, it seemed impossible to catch a phoenix with an invincible regenerative power that did not even consider any attack an attack.
But all living things have weaknesses. The same was true for Phoenix.
First, how to suppress the Phoenix by reducing its regenerative power and inflicting damage.
‘It’s a good method, but it’s too much for my current level.’
I had no idea what kind of high-level magic could be used to reduce the regenerative power of a being as strong as a phoenix.
Another is to drain the Phoenix’s stamina.
To be precise, it was the magic power of the Phoenix. The Phoenix, a phantom beast, was moving using its own enormous magical power as a power source.
If this magic power was consumed to its fullest extent, the Phoenix, the phantom beast, had no choice but to be reverse-summoned to another dimension.
“…This is how you drain your magic power.”
I did think about it. Although it is reckless.
Principal Skeleton didn’t say it was nonsense, but he also didn’t say it was a good idea.
It was too ignorant to be a good method.
It’s said that a phantom beast with enormous magical power is exhausted until it loses all its power.
Even if the words were good, there was a high possibility that the person would leave first.
Of course, this was the only way that first-year students could do it…
“Then let’s proceed. Professor Verdus. Please cast a fire-retardant spell on the students.”
“uh? “All the people here?”
Professor Verdus, who had been quiet, asked back in surprise.
“Nope? “It’s a waste of horsepower.”
A wizard’s magic power was a valuable resource. Even more so for someone like Professor Verdus who devotes himself to artifacts with no time left in the day.
It was strange for a wizard to waste things like water, but it was normal to manage things so thoroughly.
“Do not worry. Professor Garcia!”
“I’m listening. “Student Lee Han.”
“Please absorb my magic power.”
“Okay… what?”
The students were in an uproar. The skeleton principal also asked with an evil look in his eyes.
Have you ever…absorbed magical energy before?
“no?!”
Professor Garcia said in horror.
To a wizard, magic is like life, so the act of absorbing magic at will could be misunderstood.
Moreover, since the person he was dealing with was his student, he had to be even more careful.
“There’s no way I would do something like that!”
but. You, not Bible, are the kind of people who would do something like that. I’m sorry.
“I didn’t do that!”
Professor Verdus grunted. When Lee Han saw that, a memory suddenly came to mind.
‘for a moment. Professor Boladi, didn’t you ever try to absorb my magic?’
Didn’t you try mana drain because you can’t control the iron ball because you have too much magic power?
Lee Han looked at Professor Boladi in bewilderment. Professor Boladi felt my gaze and gave me a puzzled look.
“Do you still want to fight one-on-one?”
“…no.”
“Right.”
Lee Han turned his gaze to Professor Garcia.
“You can absorb my magical power and give it to Professor Verdus.”
“Do we really have to do that?”
Professor Garcia looked very reluctant.
Does it really have to be that way?
Even the skeleton principal wondered if it was necessary to do that. Professor Verdus was not on the verge of falling behind due to lack of magical power, so he wondered if he should take such care.
Professor Verdus held out his arms without heeding anything.
“Give me magic quickly.”
You please just shut up.
* * *
Just as the process of transfusing blood was not easy, the process of transferring magical power to another person was also not easy.
The inside of a wizard is another world.
Since it was handing over the elements that make up the order of the world, there could not be no conflict.
Of course, a wizard of Professor Garcia’s caliber could alleviate the conflict.
Wooooow-
A sphere of condensed magic power appeared in the air. It was a sphere about the size of a human head.
However, the amount of magical power contained within it was unusual. It was a sphere where various attributes and thoughts were filtered and refined, and pure magic power was compressed.
“Student Lee Han. “If you’re having a hard time, let me know.”
“it’s okay. professor. “It’s nothing.”
“…From now on, just pretend it’s difficult.”
“?!”
Lee Han felt like it was too late.
“Then let’s connect.”
A line extended from the magic sphere and connected to Professor Verdus.
“Power… power…!”
Please be quiet.
The skeleton principal scolded me.
“I think this is enough?”
already?
“huh! that’s enough.”
Professor Verdus did it when he was greedy, but he was not the type of person to force something to end quickly for the sake of his student.
Principal Skeleton and Professor Garcia, who knew this well, looked at each other.
‘The purity of magical power…’
‘…how high is it?’
