Episode 305
Balgaro was not the only one captivated by the firepower of the flames summoned by Lee Han.
Other fire mages were also surprised and whispered.
“Who is that wizard? “Is this your first time seeing this face?”
“You don’t seem to be an ordinary wizard at all!”
Balgaro, embarrassed by that gaze, whispered.
“hey! “You said it wouldn’t be good for other wizards to know that you belong to Einroguard!”
“sorry. “Because I failed to control it.”
“Artifacts are not omnipotent. Keep that in mind. “Nothing good comes from being too dependent.”
Balgaro spoke with the confidence of a second-year senior.
Of course, what Lee Han meant when he said he failed to control it was something different.
‘Fire magic is still difficult.’
Because of his innate magical power, if he loses even the slightest concentration, the flames scatter in all directions as if exploding, so when using flame magic, Lee Han basically used it in a way that narrowed the range as much as possible.
Others grow flames to make arrows, spears, and shields, but Lee Han fixed it in the form of a small flame.
But its firepower was by no means weak.
Since it was a flame summoned with a powerful amount of magical power, it had the destructive power to pierce through a considerable amount of flame resistance.
In fact, the straw doll that had withstood the other spells so well was still burning.
‘I tried to weaken the firepower a bit, but I guess that was too much.’
I tried to control the intensity of the flame, but it wasn’t easy.
Since you have to forcefully reduce the amount of magic to cast it…
Considering that others were trying to strengthen the power of magic by squeezing out their magical power, it was a truly absurd concern.
Grumbling…
As the straw doll began to burn, waves of strange magical power spread out.
The wave of magic enveloped the people in the temple softly and warmly. It was a wave close to a blessing, without the slightest hint of malice.
“how is it. Do you feel like bad luck and bad luck are disappearing?”
“I think so.”
“It will be strangely lucky for a day or two. “You burned a lot, so it might last longer.”
‘oh.’
Lee Han was pleased with his senior’s words.
If this blessing had that effect, it was a blessing that Lee Han really needed.
‘If it’s true, I should receive it before the second semester starts.’
“ruler. Everyone please come this way. “I will explain the safety rules.”
The priests of the church summoned the wizards. Lee Han took a step forward without much thought.
But that was a mistake.
“……”
“It’s a shame. “You are disqualified.”
“Ugh!”
The wizard standing in front of the line stamped his feet in exasperation.
This was because instead of lighting the candlestick, sparks flew all the way to the side.
Seeing that, Lee Han was embarrassed and asked.
“Weren’t we told about safety rules?”
“You listen while doing it. “You remember things better when you actually experience them than when you hear about them, right?”
‘This is why the knight families.’
Getting permission from the church was more difficult than I thought.
The priests strictly judged whether the flames could be controlled in various situations without spreading them to the surrounding area.
When Lee Han saw that, his face hardened and he became nervous.
Lee Han was the weakest part.
‘If you lose focus, this temple will become a sea of fire.’
“hey. what’s the matter? It’s not that difficult. “This is something other wizards would be nervous about, but we from Einrogard have no reason to be nervous.”
Balgaro said as if it were absurd.
The priests were not interested in the power, speed, or complex techniques of fire magic.
I only saw whether or not I could control my flame magic.
You wouldn’t know it if you were a self-taught wizard, but for a wizard who studied at Einrogard, it was a very basic and easy task.
However, Lee Han did not relax his expression and remained focused.
Balgaro saw that and thought to himself.
‘Are you not confident in fire magic?’
Actually, among the students at White Tiger Tower, there were many who were not confident in magic.
I thought I should support my junior.
“Gainando. Don’t worry too much. Because magic isn’t everything. You’ll get used to it over time. Don’t fret even if other top guys are better than you. Do you understand?”
“Uh… thank you?”
* * *
Fortunately, Lee Han succeeded safely.
The flame floated precisely in the air and burned the targets to pinpoint accuracy.
Balgaro, who passed first, clapped and cheered for his junior.
“Good job! good job! “What, you’re good at it!”
“thank you.”
Not only Balgaro but also priests of the Afha Church approached Lee Han. The priests looked at Lee Han and said.
“Wow…”

“thank you. Priests! Thank you for always teaching me!”
Lee Han spoke first to prevent the priests from talking nonsense.
“If the priests hadn’t helped me, I wouldn’t have been able to perfect my fire magic this much.”
“I never thought you would say that…”
The priests were deeply moved by Lee Han’s sincere gratitude.
“The temple doors are open at any time, so please come and visit us. “Anything you can do to control the fire is welcome.”
“…uh…”
Lee Han hesitated.
Of course, I didn’t plan on not studying during vacation, but I didn’t want to add to my schedule already.
“that…”
“Maybe…”
“I will definitely come see you. thank you.”
Lee Han nailed the priest before he could say anything useless.
I felt uncomfortable adding to my schedule, but I had no choice.
Balgaro, who saw this from the side, looked at Lee Han suspiciously.
“you…”
‘Did you get caught?’
Lee Han was nervous because he thought it would be discovered that he was not a White Tiger Tower student.
“You like studying magic?”
“…yes!”
“that’s interesting. But why are the skills… oops. no. “That’s not important.”
“I don’t have the skills, so shouldn’t I try harder?”
Balgaro nodded at his junior’s words.
He was a very sincere guy.
It was a pity that my magic skills didn’t keep up, but…
“Let’s go out. “I guess I should at least treat you to a meal.”
“Uh… no. it’s okay.”
Although Lee Han liked free food, it was a matter of conscience for him to get meals from someone from a smaller family than himself.
“no! “Other White Tiger Tower guys treat you like that, but as a knight and White Tiger Tower senior, I have a responsibility to treat you to a meal.”
“……”
Lee Han wondered when he would sneak out.
Grumbling-
“?”
Looking to the side, I saw that the magicians from the city who had received permits were gathering and casting magic without leaving the temple gate.
“Fire, gather in the form of a ring!”
A ring of flame burned in the air. Lee Han immediately recognized the principle.
It was almost like the 1st circle magic had been modified somehow and made into a ring shape. It was close and unstable, but if the goal was achieved, the magic could be considered a success.
‘It’s a bit clumsy.’
“Three… oh my! “You made the Ring of Flame a success!!!”
“This is ridiculous! “This is ridiculous!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Everyone, give us your silver coins! “Didn’t I tell you I could do it?”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Balgaro were speechless at the same time and looked at the wizards.
The wizard who won the bet showed off with the most arrogant expression in the world.
“What did I say? “You said that 4-circle magic can be successful enough, right?”
“It wasn’t like that last time, right? “When did your skills improve so much?”
“Deep contemplation and enlightenment. “That’s all there is to it.”
Lee Han lamented inwardly.
Wizards who did not systematically learn from a teacher had very uneven knowledge of magic.
So much so that when you see the modified form of the 1st circle fire magic in front of you, you mistake it for 4th circle magic.
‘I understand why Einrogard students are welcomed.’
Wizards are already a rare profession, and many of them are probably like that.
It was understandable that people preferred those who graduated from the Imperial School of Magic.
“senior. Thorn… no. Where are you going?”
Lee Han was embarrassed.
Balgaro was not walking towards the temple door but towards the wizards.
“I can’t leave this cheater alone.”
“for a moment. senior. “You said it would be a bother if it was discovered that you were from Einrogard.”
He said that it would not be good if other wizards found out that he was from Einroguard, and then he attacked him himself.
But Balgaro spoke seriously.
“But that guy is fooling other wizards.”
“…As expected, my senior is the spirit of the White Tiger Tower itself.”
I was embarrassed by my junior’s compliment.
“Well, is that so? “I don’t think it’s that bad.”
* * *
The wizard, Otiro, was a wizard from the Thieves Guild.
I read a grimoire about fire magic that I found by chance, and by bribing a retired mercenary wizard, I succeeded in learning magic, but…
The achievements since then have been formidable.
So Otiro changed direction.
To use the magic you have learned more beneficially!
“ruler. It’s not too late for you too. You can reach the same level as me. “If you pay just a little silver, I will teach you as a fellow wizard…”
“The damn thing ends there!”
Balgaro growled and took a step forward. The gathered wizards were taken aback when a young wizard approached them with a murderous expression.
“What did you say?”
“At most, you are trying to charm other wizards with a variation of 1st circle magic. “Are you still walking the path of magic?”
‘not good.’
Lee Han sensed ominousness in the other person’s expression.
The person who should have been embarrassed was maintaining a calm expression.
It was clear that there was a part of him that believed.
“I don’t know what that means. “My magic is Circle 1… So does this mean that the wizards here are all in the wrong?”
“Don’t act foolishly.”
Balgaro had already figured out what the other person was going to do.
Without hesitation, he immediately lowered his coat to reveal the Einroguard emblem.
“I am a student of Einrogard. As a student of Einrogard, I will assert that your magic is a trick!”
“A student of Einrogard?”
Otiro’s eyes trembled in surprise, but quickly calmed down.
“indeed. You have the right to say that. but…”
Otiro also raised his coat.
Then a pattern I had seen somewhere appeared.
…It was the symbol of Baldrogard.
‘No, what…’
While Lee Han was perplexed, Balgaro also seemed to be perplexed.
“I graduated from Baldrogard.”
“What nonsense! It’s fake! Where can I find a fake!”
“Ha… stop. Since I am a student, my eyes are still immature, so I will probably make mistakes. I understand. Because I did the same.”
The opponent was clearly one step ahead of Balgaro.
Even if it was a fake sentence, other magicians did not have the ability to recognize it, and more than anything, Balgaro was inferior to his opponents in speaking skills.
‘Should I step forward?’
Still, I wondered if I should help him since he was a student at the same school, but Balgaro took the initiative.
“It’s a duel, you son of a bitch!”
“……”
“……”
“Pull it out! “If you don’t pull it out, I will attack!”
‘Is he really crazy?’
You’re asking for a duel inside a temple.
Lee Han couldn’t help but admire Balgaro.
Of course the priests came running.
“You cannot duel here!”
“good night! “Follow me outside!”
“W-what kind of barbarism…”
“Calm down. everyone. “You can try to win with magic.”
Wizards and priests stopped the two. Balgaro, who had been fighting back, had no choice but to break his will in the end.
“good. Let’s compete with magic.”
Balgaro didn’t seem to have any idea that he would lose to such a swindler.
But there are no absolutes in this world.
“If it’s a game, how about trying to control flames?”
A priest spoke up to mediate.
It was one of the games that fire wizards often played, where they summoned flames to shoot them down.
It was a simple game, but when you dig into it, it was quite profound. You have to move faster and more precisely than your opponent’s flames to catch up.
“……”
Valgaro’s face turned pale. Lee Han was puzzled.
“Why are you doing this? no way…”
“…I specialize in enchantment.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at his frozen senior and clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry.
“Then I will do it.”
“what?”
Balgaro raised his head.
“you?”
“yes.”
“no. “It’s too much for your skills!”
“……”
Lee Han was momentarily taken aback.
