Episode 289
Professor Koo was taken aback when Lee Han was so shocked.
For a moment, I thought I had misheard the score.
“1 point is really nothing, so why?”
“…Yes.”
Although he answered in agreement, Lee Han’s expression was definitely not that of someone who agrees.
He had the expression of a wizard whose own mistake led to the destruction of the empire.
“thank you. professor.”
“Wardanaz. “It’s okay, right?”
“it’s okay.”
* * *
Hey, I heard you got deducted 1 point!
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded at the sight of the floating principal skeleton.
It’s been less than 30 minutes since I took the test…
“You could be deducted one point.”
Is that really the case? If it weren’t for the mistake I just made, I could have gotten perfect scores on all my exams, right?
The skeleton principal tried to shake Lee Han’s heart and summon Sim Ma.
Lee Han, who knew his intentions better than anyone else, kept his cool.
I felt bad about making a mistake and getting deducted 1 point, but it didn’t really change anything.
‘Let’s not be shaken.’
Doesn’t that mistake still linger?
“yes. “I think you may have misunderstood, but I never had any arrogant thoughts about getting perfect scores on every test.”
This wasn’t a lie.
If Lee Han hadn’t gone crazy, wouldn’t he have set the goal of getting perfect scores in all his lectures?
My goal was to just do my best.
The reason I felt upset when I was deducted by 1 point was just my personality…
Doesn’t it make you angry or hate professors who dare to test beings like me?
“What kind of crazy first grader would think like that?”
I did.
“……”
Lee Han decided to ignore it and not reply any further.
Principal Skull seemed disappointed as he realized that Lee Han would not fall for the provocation.
Pretending to be needlessly humble…
“I have never been arrogant. principal.”
There are few things more arrogant than trying to listen to every school’s magic.
“……”
Lee Han looked like he had been punched. The skeleton principal realized this and was happy.
Have you gained some insight now?
“no?”
If you deny it like that, you will only make it difficult for yourself. Are you preparing well for Professor Verdus’ exam?
If you look at the transformation magic test and the bestowal magic test, the boring first semester was practically over.
Since the transformation magic test doesn’t seem to be that difficult, enchantment is actually the biggest remaining challenge.
“I’m doing my best.”
Looks like it’s not going well.
The skeleton principal keenly guessed what was in his mind. Lee Han, realizing that denying it was meaningless, asked again.
“How did you know?”
Isn’t Professor Verdus’ test asking you to take what you’ve created to the next level? Since I completed something like that the first time, of course it won’t work out.
The skeleton principal answered as if asking an obvious question. Lee Han had no choice but to understand.
‘Well, that’s true.’
Creating a floating steel shield is amazing, but upgrading it to the next level in less than a month is amazing.
It was natural that it didn’t work out.
“Then will the principal speak for me?”
no? I blame you for doing too well in the past. It is not for nothing that they say that a battle mage’s skills must be kept secret. This will be a lesson.
“That’s for when there’s a fight…”
Still, let me give you one piece of advice.
When the skeleton principal interrupted the conversation and came in, Lee Han stopped and waited.
What advice will the skeleton principal give?
‘I don’t think it’s very useful advice.’
You just made a floating steel shield, right?
“yes.”
A steel shield that floats around the caster and automatically blocks incoming attacks.
Although it borrowed the power of various magic circles, its creation itself was something close to a miracle.
What is your goal?
“I’m thinking about adding reflections…”
I guess so. Get rid of all the other magic circles and only add reflection.
“!”
Lee Han was surprised by the skeleton principal’s words.

So now…?
“Then it will just be a normal reflective shield?”
okay. That alone is enough. Anyway, performance has improved, right? Other performance has decreased slightly.
The skeleton principal was serious.
Even if a student was determined to learn all schools of magic, there were limits.
Sometimes choices and giving up are necessary.
And in the first place, Professor Verdus was the kind of person who gave tests on his own, so there was no need to take the tests seriously.
All students had to do was do what they wanted.
Even if we only delve into the reflection properties in the first place, it would be a daunting task. Just completing it is an achievement I can proudly say, so I can’t deduct points just because the functionality has been reduced.
Originally, it was ‘impossible’, but Principal Skeleton said it was ‘close’ considering Lee Han’s record.
“But I think Professor Verdus will be disappointed…”
Why not disappoint Professor Verdus? Why is that wrong?
“!”
what?
‘I know?’
Lee Han felt himself persuaded by the skeleton principal’s logic.
Professor Verdus…
Isn’t it okay to be a little disappointed?
Since that was his goal in the first place, even if he was disappointed, he was close to achieving self-improvement.
“I’m glad the principal would rather disappoint Professor Verdus than bother me.”
You are truly gifted with illusion magic.
“no.”
Actually, 1 point was deducted.
“……”
* * *
Professor Verdus put down his equipment and tools and waited for his students.
Anyone who knew the professor knew well how amazing this appearance was.
Who is Professor Verdus?
Although he was a professor who had to teach, he was a natural craftsman who threw a few books to the students in the classroom and told them to study on their own, then devoted himself to creating artifacts that interested him.
Professor Verdus is waiting without doing anything.
The merchants who came to the school called by Professor Verdus were in a strange mood and asked.
“Are you okay? Wizard? “Why don’t you produce it?”
“It’s a student test.”
“Yes… that’s right.”
The merchants cursed Professor Verdus in their hearts.
Even when merchants spoke to him, he would usually only reply with ‘uh’ or ‘uhh’ and only spoke when it was convenient for him, so for no reason I found him even more disgusting.
Anyway, Professor Verdus hummed and waited.
It was because of what the skeleton principal said.
-Hey. The first year students this year were quite good. Well done.
-It’s not? Wouldn’t it just make trash?
-…Of course, if you look at it objectively, that may be the case, but some of the works were quite good.
-That can’t be possible?
-If it weren’t for the test, I would have put you in the punishment cell. It’s such a shame.
-why?
-I thought about that later when I entered the punishment room… And there are some really good works. Just like Wodanaz did.
-oh. You finished it?
Professor Verdus was delighted.
I advised adding reflection properties to the floating steel shield, and Wardanaz seemed to have done well.
-…Didn’t you think that was a bit difficult?
The skeleton principal asked, holding back his regret as best as he could.
Of course, Professor Verdus answered confidently as if asking what he was talking about.
-no? why?
-It was my fault for asking. Anyway, since the reflection properties have been completed, let’s evaluate it calmly.
-Hey! I’m looking forward to it!
Thanks to this, Professor Verdus was excited.
Of course, in Professor Verdus’ opinion, Lee Han’s enchantment still had many shortcomings (the fact that Lee Han was a first year did not remain in Professor Verdus’ genius brain).
However, even if there are dozens of disadvantages, if there is one special advantage that makes up for them, it is interesting enough.
Lee Han’s enchantment, which omits many of the enchantment processes with its unique enormous amount of magical power, was extremely interesting even though it had many shortcomings.
widely-
When the door opened and students came in, Professor Verdus shouted in joy.
“Submit those who arrived first!”
“Woah, here it is. professor.”
The student felt a little hopeful as he submitted the report, as Professor Verdus seemed strangely cheerful.
If you look that good, can you do the homework?
“It’s still trash. “What’s improved?”
“…Haven’t the speed increased a bit?”
“next!”
The students came forward one by one, cursed at Professor Verdus, and were then kicked out.
When Lee Han saw that, he felt at ease.
‘Even if we fail, we will all fail together.’
It feels more secure to fail together with friends than to fail alone.
Professor Verdus grumbled and kicked the students out, but was delighted when Lee Han’s turn came.
“I’m here? I was looking forward to it! ruler. “Show me!”
Lee Han carefully took out the steel shield and put it down.
It was a shield with all the previous magic circle techniques erased and new reflective properties engraved on it.
Kang!
When Lee Han threw a rock, the rock flew back in the direction it came from with a cheerful sound.
It was an elastic force that seemed to ignore the laws of physics.
“!!”
“It’s a reflection?!”
The students were surprised.
I knew that Wardanazya had excellent magic skills as he was the top student in his grade, but he completed the floating shield last time and also completed the reflective shield.
‘This…’
‘…it might work!’
The students who had just been cursed and kicked out looked at Professor Verdus with expectant eyes without even realizing it.
No matter how bad… no, no matter how strict the professor is, at this point, he will inevitably say ‘good job’.
really!
“Where’s the automatic defense?!”
Professor Verdus exclaimed in surprise.
“……”
“……”
The students glared at the professor with disdain.
If a first grader was able to complete the reflection attribute in such a short period of time, we should praise him, but how could he do that?
‘It’s not a real person.’
‘Even mountain monsters would be more merciful than that person.’
“We took out the automatic defense.”
“why?!”
“To complete the reflection.”
“We can do it together!?”
“It was unreasonable in terms of time.”
“why?!”
Instead of answering, Lee Han only smiled softly. It was because I didn’t want to argue with a crazy person.
“Shall I give you more time?”
“Next week is vacation.”
“I have a room in Seonggak-gwan. Would you like to stay there and complete it?”
The students who could not stand those words stood up.
“Wardanaz, we have an appointment, Professor!”
“If you keep doing this, I will write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor!”
“Why why?! “What did I do!?”
Lee Han was moved for the first time in a long time by the friendship shown by his friends.
It wasn’t in vain that I worked hard to feed him like that.

After the transformation magic test (which required only one of the clothes to be made of steel) and the enchantment test, when Friday night arrived, the students at Blue Dragon Tower began to shout frantically.
“finished! finished! finished!”
“Grades too!”
The friends put a gag on the prince’s mouth, pouring cold water on the atmosphere.
pop! Puff puff puff! Puff puff puff!
Looking out the window, I saw beautiful fireworks with all kinds of patterns exploding in the dark night sky.
“Looks like the seniors are shooting!”
“Let us answer too!”
The first-year students ran to the window and fired magic at random.
It was unsightly compared to the magic sent by our seniors, but we were able to see it clearly thanks to the dark night sky.
“The flame is moving!”
The fireworks that decorated the night sky wriggled and moved and turned into letters.
First-year students looked with excitement at the messages sent by their seniors.
What kind of words of praise will seniors who have never even met give to their juniors?
☆It’s noisy☆Be quiet☆Have some☆play☆
☆First grader☆Looking excited☆I haven’t learned much yet☆It’s the second semester☆Really
“……”
“They’re trash…”
