Episode 036
‘Let’s calm down. ‘You probably haven’t figured out my intentions yet.’
Lee Han calmly composed himself.
Even so, the vampire professor wouldn’t be able to read Lee Han’s inner thoughts.
-I will listen to this lecture alone and enjoy it when no one is listening!
‘hmm. If I get caught, it’ll be more embarrassing than dangerous.’
“I asked if you had any questions.”
Professor Boladi slowly looked at Lee Han again and said.
“Can I ask any questions?”
“Can not be done. The question should be about the lecture.”
‘Isn’t that obvious?’
There was no way Lee Han could have given me advice on how to get out of school…
But thanks to this, I felt like I had a clear idea of the professor’s personality.
A person of principle who is strict with others and himself.
I had met quite a few of those types before, so it was rather easy to deal with them.
‘What’s difficult to deal with is a crazy professor like Principal Rich.’
If you just do what you are told to do, there will be no problem, so why is it difficult?
“Do you have any questions?”
“hmm…”
Lee Han was worried.
What should I ask?
Professors always said, ‘Ask questions comfortably,’ but if I asked questions in a really easy way, the response would be, ‘Why don’t you know that?’
Questions also require tact.
‘Let’s start with the basics.’
“What is the purpose of the practice of spinning this spiritual stone bead?”
Lee Han asked with curiosity.
Although I was asked to ask questions about the lecture, I was actually curious.
What is the meaning of just spinning this marble?
Professor Boladi slightly tilted his head in response to Lee Han’s question. It was an expression that he genuinely did not understand.
“Didn’t you read the name of the river?”
“……”
Lee Han was not embarrassed.
Because originally, all professors were like this!
Since we taught you -1+1=2, try solving higher order differential equations. You can’t solve it? why? why?
“yes. I know the name of the course is <Repetitive Learning of Basic Magic Combat>. But what does rotating the spiritual stone bead have to do with basic magic combat?”
“hmm.”
After hearing Lee Han’s question, Professor Boladi stopped.
Lee Han was taken aback by the sight of Professor Boladi standing still as if he were a plaster statue. It looked like someone had turned off the power.
“…professor?”
“Please wait a moment.”
Professor Boladi spoke to Lee Han without blinking an eye.
What can we do?
Lee Han waited.
How much time has passed? When Lee Han began to regret that he had asked a question for no reason, Professor Boladi spoke up.
“I can talk now.”
“yes?”
“I was worried about how to explain it because it was so obvious.”
Lee Han was astonished.
You’ve been thinking about that all this time…?
‘no. Let’s not panic. Considering that the other person is a professor, it’s not that strange.’
“ruler. “I can kill you with just one quill here.”
“……”
This was definitely embarrassing. Lee Han immediately placed his hand on the cane.
Professor Boladi spoke again after seeing Lee Han’s quick reaction time and balanced posture.
“I will cancel. “It must be difficult with a quill.”
It wasn’t much of a consolation.
While Lee Han was wondering whether he should run away or call someone, Professor Boladi continued talking.
“As you can see from what I just said, what is important in magic combat is not high-circle anti-magic. “The minimum amount of magic that can suffocate the opponent is sufficient.”
After finishing speaking, Professor Boladi looked regretful that he had given too much unnecessary detail.
“I guess this makes sense, right?”
“…no. “Please tell me in more detail.”
“!?”
Surprised, Professor Boladi froze like a statue again.
Lee Han almost missed it, but the water had already spilled.
‘If this happens, I will definitely get an answer.’
After a while.
“The training to rotate the spiritual stone beads now is training to control projectile-type magic. “As you may have already guessed, even with the same <Magic Missile> spell, there is a difference on the level of heaven and earth depending on which wizard uses it.”
‘I had no idea.’

“A wizard who is not familiar with combat cannot use magic properly when a combat situation occurs. You are weighed down by the noise and heat of the battlefield and the murders aimed at you. However, this becomes possible for wizards who have incorporated magic control into their bodies through repeated training.”
Professor Boladi cast the spell without using a spell or a wand.
Magic Missile.
Contrary to its grandiose name, it was a 1-circle magic.
The principle was also simple. All he had to do was draw out his magic power, gather it into a circle, and then shoot it.
Then, a fist-sized chunk of magic was shot out.
As it was the 1st circle, its power was not that great. Among the mercenaries, ‘Is a hard-thrown rock or a magic missile stronger?’ was a topic that always came up.
…But Professor Boladi’s magic missile instantly shattered that prejudice.
The spacious classroom instantly turned into the Milky Way.
This was because dozens or hundreds of magic chunks filled the space.
Professor Boladi waved his hand. Then, all that magical energy flew towards one direction in an instant.
Some are straight, some are curved.
Some regularly, some irregularly.
Some fast, some slow.
And all of these movements resulted in one goal.
It was the enemy’s vital point.
Pop!
With a roar, the magical energy collided and disappeared.
Lee Han seemed to have seen a vision of a non-existent person falling down after being hit at a vital point on his body. Professor Boladi’s magic was that sophisticated.
Lee Han once again felt that reaching the limit of sophistication can be beautiful.
“The goal of the training is to freely control projectile magic in this way. “Do you understand?”
“yes. thank you.”
Professor Boladi nodded with a very faint look of relief on his face when Lee Han was convinced.
If you don’t understand here, it’s hard to know how to explain.
‘Right. I can’t believe the professor wasn’t just trying to eat his salary every day.’
Lee Han felt slightly sorry for misunderstanding Professor Boladi.
I thought they were just going to give a strange lecture and collect a salary.
After listening closely, I found that this training was quite plausible.
Magic wasn’t just about knowing how to cast it.
Just as knowing how to swing a sword does not mean you have mastered swordsmanship, learning a single spell is not an ordinary task.
Can you cast that spell faster? Can you cast accurately even in urgent and confusing situations? etc.
Professor Boladi was a person who valued such things.
And for Lee Han, this projectile magic control training was important.
There was one problem that Lee Han was facing right now.
“professor. “Can I ask you one more thing?”
“So be it.”
“I recently learned the <Lesser Control> spell.”
“continue.”
Professor Boladi did not ask where Lee Han learned it. That wasn’t the professor’s concern.
“But this magic… can be cast, but it doesn’t stick after casting.”
Professor Boladi’s eyebrows rose.
It’s not that the control isn’t working well, but it’s that the fixation itself isn’t working.
It was a very unusual case.
Usually, beginner magicians are unable to move when performing <low level control> magic, but they are not unable to remain stationary.
Unless you have a ton of magic power…
“for a moment. “It seems you have more magic power than I thought.”
“ah. yes. “I heard that.”
Lee Han was delighted when Professor Boladi recognized him at once.
If you can recognize it right away, there is a high chance that a good solution will be presented.
What method will you teach?
“Mana Drain!”
“?!”
Professor Boladi held Lee Han’s arm and cast the Go Circle spell.
It was a powerful and evil magic that literally absorbed the opponent’s magical power.
“Sleep…”
Lee Han couldn’t have known that his magic power was being drained rapidly.
‘Please explain and do it, you crazy professor!’
But it was already too late to stop it. The professor’s magic was absorbing Lee Han’s magical power.
“…?”
Lee Han realized something was strange and looked at Professor Boladi’s face.
As a vampire, his complexion wasn’t that bright to begin with, but now it seemed a bit harsh.
“professor?”
“……”
“professor?? Are you okay?!”
thud!
Professor Boladi slowly let go and fell sideways. Lee Han was astonished at that sight.
Defeating the professor.
Of course, I imagined it a lot, but I never thought I would actually defeat the professor like this!
* * *
Fortunately, Professor Boladi soon came to his senses. As soon as the vampire professor woke up, he briefly summarized the situation.
“You have more magic power than I thought.”
“…Is that so?”
Lee Han, who had lost his magic power, was in much better condition than the professor who had absorbed it.
In fact, Lee Han was not feeling particularly tired right now. Even though I was absorbed like that.
“Yes.”
Professor Boladi nodded.
If it had been another professor, he would have explained how ridiculous this situation was.
If an inexperienced person possessed more magical power than his or her own, he or she could fall because he or she could not control that power, but the story was different for an outstanding magician like Professor Boladi.
How much magic power must have been absorbed for a wizard the size of Professor Boladi to lose control and collapse?
But Professor Boladi did not say anything. Because he didn’t think it was important.
What was important now was something else.
“I tried to make the control difficulty easier by reducing magic power with the mana drain spell. “I failed.”
“That’s too bad.”
Lee Han understood what Professor Boladi meant.
Since there was too much magic power, it was difficult to control the projectile in detail, so the idea was to drastically reduce the magic power.
…of course it failed.
“There is another way.”
“What is that?”
“<Lesser Control> While casting a spell, have you ever had a projectile fly towards you when it exploded?”
Lee Han thought for a moment about the professor’s question.
“There was none.”
“Yes. That’s instinct. Even if control appears to be lost, as long as the spell is cast and the projectile is connected to the wizard’s will, control is taking place.”
Lee Han nodded at the plausible words.
Obviously, if the spell was broken, it would have been normal for the stone to just fall on the floor.
The connection itself was established.
‘for a moment. Then, was it instinct for me to shoot rocks at other people’s heads?’
I couldn’t tell if it was coincidence or instinct.
Lee Han decided not to bother checking. Because sometimes there are truths that are better left buried.
“Instincts are powerful. “If you use that instinct, you might be able to take your projectile control ability to the next level.”
“indeed…”
“Are you ready?”
“yes?”
“I’m going. “I’ll aim for your chin, so make sure to defend your chin at all costs.”
For a moment, Lee Han wondered what that meant.
The explanation was provided by the spiritual stone beads floating in the air.
The beads that had been prepared began to tremble and fly one by one toward Lee Han’s chin.
At that moment, Lee Han felt his instincts cry out sharply.
The body moved before the head.
“Move!!!!!”
* * *
Still, there was good news.
Lee Han was now able to handle the <Level Control> magic quite well.
The bad news was that Professor Boladi was even crazier than Lee Han thought.
‘I was stupid for trusting this school professor.’
I will never believe again!
