Life of a Magic Academy Mage Chapter 284

Episode 284

“Thank you… thank you.”

Salko first expressed his gratitude.

“Wardanaz. thanks.”

Salchow’s other gang behind him also expressed their gratitude. Some were almost in tears.

Just a moment ago, I was in despair, thinking that I would be trapped like this, but Lee Han suddenly came and rescued me, so I was moved.

It was surprising and perplexing, but once he had said his bewildered thanks, Salko felt something was strange.

But why is Wardanaz here?

“But Wardanaz. “What’s going on here…?”

“This is not the time to have a conversation here. You have to move quickly! “You never know when the pursuer might come after you!”

“Yes, that is correct.”

When Lee Han whispered urgently, Salco was immediately convinced.

As long as the trap was triggered, it wasn’t surprising if the principal’s minions waiting nearby came to visit at any time.

I had to escape as quickly as possible.

“Come this way!”

“Let’s go down the left stairs rather than the central stairs! “There’s no place to hide on the central stairs!”

“i get it! Everyone, quickly…”

Fortunately, the first-year students moved quickly without any hindrance.

Since they were all students who had been out at night before, they did not waste time in this situation.

“Woah, Wodanaz! Sound from the front! “Someone is coming!”

“Go into the classroom next door! “I will cast an invisibility spell!”

When he came down to the first floor and heard the sound of someone walking along with the sound of talking in the front of the hallway, Lee Han immediately turned and went into the classroom next to him.

Fortunately, although it was dark in the classroom, Lee Han did not let down his guard.

“Cloak, swallow me!”

As the invisibility magic amplified, Lee Han made everyone close in.

Salko frowned at the sight of Lee Han resting his elbow on his head, but did not say anything because of the situation.

-Where is it? Is it the kitchen?

-It’s the second floor.

-Who touched it?

-Probably new students. It’s a shame. Einrogard is not a very comfortable place…

The Death Knights walked forward while talking as if they were sorry.

On the second floor of the main building, which is relatively easy to access, there is a kitchen and food warehouse with no special security or defense mechanisms.

In Einrogard, we had to be more suspicious.

-But you will learn it if you go to the punishment room a few times.

-That’s true. Isn’t that how we all grow?

“……”

“……”

The atmosphere of the students hiding in the classroom became cold.

I realized that I had just stepped on the threshold of the underworld.

“…Thank you so much. Wodanaz.”

“done. Because I didn’t do it to get thanks. Can I just leave? “I don’t think anything good will come of us sticking together now.”

Lee Han spoke sternly, managing his expression so as not to be noticed with the heavy groceries he had stuffed in his backpack.

No matter how thankful Salko and the gang are now, I don’t know if they will still be after finding out that Lee Han and his group robbed them first.

‘Once we split up, what if we have doubts later?’

“Wardanaz…”

“It’s really on a different level from the other Blue Dragon Tower guys.”

The Black Turtle Tower students were all deeply impressed by Lee Han’s lack of condescension even after helping them like that.

If I had been another student at Blue Dragon Tower, I would have acted proudly for about thirty minutes, talking about family, lineage, and honor.

‘It is said that when an honorable person does a good deed, he does it not to increase his own reputation, but because it is good. Indeed, that statement is not wrong!’

Even the roughest and most stubborn student in the Black Turtle Tower could not deny Wardanaz’s honor.

“Wardanaz. “I have something to tell you in return.”

“Do we really have to do it now?”

Lee Han just wanted to get out quickly so he glanced at the door.

These kids are a burden…

‘I’m sure you didn’t notice.’

“We have to do it now.”

“i get it. Tell me. Instead, speak quickly.”

“You probably know Professor Thunderstruck, right?”

“of course.”

Whenever I had a break, I went to the garden and even did chores, so there was no way I wouldn’t know about it. In response to Lee Han’s answer, Salko nodded his head and continued speaking.

“This is what one of our top students witnessed yesterday. “Professor Thunderwalker came in in the middle of the night, bringing a hydra.”

“…I guess I studied too much and got tired. I think I heard wrong. “What did you bring in?”

“Hydra.”

“……”

Lee Han frowned and was lost in thought.

Hydra.

A monster with nine heads, strong regenerative abilities, and terrible poison.

Even in an empire filled with all kinds of fierce and dangerous monsters, Hydra was at the top of the list.

But the thunder-gait professor brought it in??

‘Does this make sense?’

Originally, I would have said it was a mistake, but Lee Han didn’t think so.

It made so much sense that I started to believe it.

Because anything could happen in Einrogard.

“But they say he wasn’t a fully grown guy. “I thought it was probably a cub.”

“You’re so lucky to have a cub! “If it was a fully grown one, I wouldn’t have the confidence to deal with it, but if it’s a cub, I feel confident enough to deal with it?”

“Is that really true?”

“…of course it’s a joke.”

Lee Han was dumbfounded.

It was sarcastic, but you took it seriously.

Salko also blushed, probably because he knew he had said something ridiculous.

“Seriously, you were mistaken. Anyway, Wardanaz, I know you are taking an alchemy class.”

“yes.”

“Dark magic, summoning magic, illusion magic, enchantment magic, precognition magic, transformation magic, and healing magic.”

“…There’s no need to tell you all that, right?”

“Anyway, I’m telling you because I think it would be good to know in advance. “I will be preparing for other lecture exams, so it would be good to know at least one in advance.”

Yoner, who was listening from the side, muttered.

“Even if I knew, I don’t think it would be particularly helpful.”

* * *

“Hydra… What kind of test is related to Hydra?”

On the way back.

I should have been happy because I got everything I wanted, but it was as heavy as a heavy backpack.

Yoner and Ratford also had serious expressions.

“It could be a potion that puts the hydra to sleep.”

“It might be a potion that makes the hydra go berserk.”

“Even if the former is yes, the latter… probably not.”

Even if an Ainroguard is an Ainroguard, there is no way that it would be given a potion that would make Hydra crazy in an exam place where students are gathered.

…maybe!

“A potion to suppress hydra regeneration? A potion to detoxify hydra poison?”

“I’m sure you won’t go that far…”

Yoner said with an expression of disgust at Ihan’s bloody predictions.

“Isn’t it more likely that you brought it here to use it as an ingredient? “You might need something like Hydra’s raw blood as the target potion ingredient.”

“indeed. “It seems plausible.”

Ratford agreed, as if it were plausible.

However, Lee Han could not accept it easily.

“Professor Thunderwalker already said he was increasing the difficulty of the exam, but isn’t it too easy?”

“It’s not easy.”

“It’s not easy.”

“no. “That seems a bit easy.”

“……”

“……”

Yoner and Ratford looked at each other.

-Tell me well.

-How should I say it?

“for a moment.”

Thanks to his hearing heightened by enhanced magic, Lee Han recognized the sound of footsteps coming from afar.

As I entered the classroom next door and held my breath, the Death Knights passed through the hallway, chatting loudly again.

-I don’t know who it was, but they managed to escape. It looks like they were split in half and waiting outside? These new students seem to be very smart.

-I don’t think they are freshmen. Even if I had been waiting outside, all my magic would have been sucked out the moment I touched the sealed door.

-but. Judging from the fact that he poured magical energy until the seal was released, it doesn’t seem like something a freshman would do. I guess I should go see what the older students are doing.

“……”

Lee Han made a promise to himself.

From now on, even if a truly worthy prey appears in front of me, I will knock on the stone bridge dozens of times before crossing it.

“I trust you. Horse chestnut.”

<Basic Vehicle Training> Final Exam.

Yoner hugged the chestnut-furred horse’s neck and whispered.

“you can do it. “Grand Empenial Guyanado Imperator.”

“Just do what you practiced. got it?”

One by one, other students spoke to the horses they had been caring for all semester.

There was a solemn tone in his voice as the exam was about to take place.

“Phone League.”

Phew!

When Lee Han spoke, Vonrig’s eyes twinkled as if he was expecting it.

The owner is stingy with praise, but this time he definitely…

“Don’t attack other words.”

…Puhihihihi!!

Vonrig got angry and started kicking the dirt with his hooves.

Guy Nando, who was passing by, ate a handful of dirt and spat it out.

“Look. “I’m worried because you lose your temper like this.”

Phew! Puhi hing! Puheeheehee!

Vonrig cried in a voice full of resentment.

In the first place, the griffon was a noble beast.

Since the noble beast was cursed to take the form of a horse, wouldn’t it be stressful?

And above all, the owner is suspicious, so of course he gets angry!

“Okay, okay. I was wrong. Anyway, don’t attack other horses until I say so. got it?”

‘Before you say it?’

Yoner tilted his head and combed the horse’s fur.

Meanwhile, the lightning-walking professor who had finished his work appeared in the vast vacant lot, shaking his hands.

“Everyone worked hard during the semester. I hope you learned a lot from becoming friends with horses. It is rare to find an animal that helps a wizard like a horse. Once you become close friends, you are the most trustworthy friend who will not betray you and will help you no matter what. “After the lecture, take him with you and join him.”

“!!”

“thank you!”

The faces of the students who received the friendly words as a gift brightened. Lee Han looked at Phone Rig. Von Rigg looked at me with gentle eyes as if asking why.

‘This isn’t a horse, is it?’

While he was thinking about something else, Professor Lightning Walk looked at Lee Han and asked.

“How about coming out to the stables even during vacation?”

Lee Han was shocked.

“yes???????!!?”

“I was just kidding, so don’t look at me like that.”

‘Oops.’

Lee Han reflected.

I couldn’t control my emotions due to such absurd words.

“Of course it was a joke to ask him to come out to the stables during vacation, but as long as he takes care of Ponrigg, he will need some help even during vacation. “Gryphons are quite annoying animals.”

Ponrig hummed as if telling him not to worry. Lee Han was worried about something different about his appearance.

“The curse won’t be lifted during vacation, right?”

“That won’t happen. …maybe. Anyway, if you need help or your ponrig needs a spacious place to play, come to Einrogard Stables. “I will be at school this vacation.”

“thank you.”

Of course, Lee Han had no intention of going to Einrogard during his vacation.

You won’t even take a breath in the direction of Einrogard.

“ruler. “Then let’s get started.”

Professor Lightning Walk pointed with his riding whip at a vacant lot so wide that the end was not visible.

Obstacles installed everywhere.

If the midterm exam was just a race, the final exam had to overcome all these obstacles together.

Although the level of difficulty seemed quite high, the students were surprisingly calm.

After looking at different final exams all week, this exam now feels like a joke.

“This is just a change of pace.”

“That is correct.”

In addition, there were many students who were full of confidence in the <Basic Vehicle Training> lecture, even though they did not know other lectures.

As we had been riding horses since we were young, we all had a pride in our hearts, thinking, ‘I am better than others.’

“Yoner. “I think it would be better not to run ahead even when the starting signal comes.”

“why?”

Before Lee Han could answer, Professor Lightning Walk gave the starting signal.

Then, the students waiting at the starting line rode forward like lightning.

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-

puck!

One student who was running at the front was hit by a stream of water flying from the side and fell.

“……”

“I wonder if it’s like this.”
