Episode 399
However, the excited priest Siana could not hear and ran away.
Soon, priests began to rush out of the Phoenix Tower.
“Are you serious?!?!”
“Ah… what a waste! “If only I had drawn the right lot, you would have awakened our church’s sacred magic!”
“Ugh!”
Lee Han was taken aback by the sight of the priests not even hiding their true intentions.
Is it okay to treat sacred magic like that?
“Holy magic like that…”
“To me! Give me a chance this time! “If you give it a try today, you might be able to do it!”
Nigisor and Shiina shook their heads and responded to the priest’s words.
“Holy magic is quite hard on the body, but I’ve already cast it twice today.”
“that’s right. “Do it next time.”
“…Now they say they succeeded!!”
“Oh, no… we do it in order…”
“Isn’t it like stealing the true glory that Wodanaz could have received?”
“Why do you say that!”
The Phoenix Tower priests began to fight, raising their voices.
Of course, it was a much more gentle and polite argument compared to the Blue Dragon Tower or the White Tiger Tower, but it was quite shocking for the priests to fight to that extent.
The skeleton principal who was flying in from afar also thought so.
no…! How on earth!!!
Principal Skeleton, who flew in without thinking much about it, saw this incredibly funny scene and fell in love with it.
What on earth did you do?
“……”
Lee Han cursed inwardly, saying that if the skeleton principal had not been an archmage, he would have attacked right away.
Traditionally, the flocks of the Phoenix Tower did not fight with each other no matter what they did! Wardanaz. I’m truly proud of you!
I received a sincere compliment from the skeleton principal, but I wasn’t happy at all.
Lee Han sighed and said.
“Why are you here?”
Ogonin is waiting for you. It arrived a few weeks late so there was no reason to wait.
“ah.”
The illusion wizard Ogonin was teaching illusion magic to Lee Han from a distance.
It’s a few weeks late since the second semester started, so there must be quite a wait.
“I’m going now.”
Let’s go and watch the fight a little more. When will we see this again?
“…Can’t you just stop me?”
Lee Han couldn’t stand it anymore and said.
But the skeleton principal answered seriously.
Fighting like that is good for the priests over there.
“yes?”
Even though the priests of the empire are from different denominations, they grow up being forced to engage in similar vices. Dedication, sacrifice, perseverance…
“Not vice, but virtue…”
Priests who are forced to engage in these vices have hardened ways of thinking and values, making it difficult for them to think freely. I have always wanted priests to break open the egg and think outside the world.
“……”
Lee Han was honestly impressed by the skeleton principal’s words.
Certainly, all priests of the empire have lived in temples since childhood and have grown up knowing only the world of the religious order.
No matter how good your faith was, if you grew up like that, your way of thinking was bound to harden.
Why should we fight? To learn how to reconcile with each other. Not fighting may sound good at first glance, but it means putting up with each other without revealing what you want. How can we talk about faith when we can’t even reveal what we want? In order to continue living as a priest, you must learn how to speak your mind and confront others.
“principal…”
Lee Han called out to the skeleton principal in a slightly watery voice.
For the first time, I was truly moved…
Hey! Grab him by the collar! yes! I told you to grab me by the collar! Oh, by the way, I’ve never fought before, so my hands just keep shaking! I told you to grab me by the collar! catch!
“……”
‘I was impressed for no reason.’
Lee Han immediately regretted it.
* * *
-sorry. I have a lot of work…
-Oh, no. I’m learning fast enough now.
Ogonin was indeed kind.
When Lee Han said that he had not been able to practice illusion magic much due to a lot of work, he kindly responded that he could.
-I will work harder.
-…Is it already amazing enough just to learn the magic of the buffalo!? All you have to do is refine what you’ve learned! Don’t overexert yourself!!
Lee Han felt sorry for Ogonin’s kind words.
Other professors said they would grab you by the collar and attack you if you couldn’t learn, but if Ogonin just said he would teach you kindly, it wasn’t right.
What was wrong with the Ogonin who treated me kindly?
‘I have to work harder.’
It’s over. Good job.
When the lecture ended, the morning star was already rising. Before we knew it, the week was over and Saturday had already arrived.

‘It’s a big deal. ‘I’m not ready for alchemy yet.’
“thank you.”
What is gratitude? The one who taught me was Ogonin. By the way, a lot of the smell has disappeared from my soul.
Principal Skeleton, who was himself an undead, described the energy of the undead as a bad smell.
It must not be easy to fall this quickly… Did you at least pray in group with the priests every day?
“It’s similar. “I trained in sacred magic.”
what? Such a waste?
“…It’s not systematic and lacks a bit of theory, but it’s not a waste, is it?”
Holy magic was definitely useful.
The power to overcome a much more complicated and difficult path with faith than to realize it through magic.
Of course, it was a disgrace to an archmage like the skeleton headmaster.
What a waste… Wait. Could it be that the priests were fighting earlier?
The skeleton principal was astonished.
I was curious as to what he had done to make the priests fight, but it made sense if that Wardanaz had awakened holy magic.
Because it was a bait on a different level from a simple donation or visit.
Have you awakened? so?
“yes.”
Nonsense! Were you that stupid?! No, if you were that stupid you wouldn’t have been able to learn magic by now?
“…Aren’t you being too harsh for having awakened twice? “I guess I was lucky.”
If divine magic can be awakened through luck, why would priests go through such asceticism? You have to have extreme fanaticism to even have the faintest possibility. huh? twice?
The skeleton principal who was speaking felt a sense of discomfort from Lee Han’s numbers.
“By the way, principal. I have a question.”
Isn’t it time to talk about something else? Twice?
“You did it once, you can do it twice. What does it matter?”
What can a person who has no faith say?
The skeleton principal was truly surprised.
Awakening two sacred magics.
I could see why the priests were going crazy. In their eyes, Wodanaz’s faith will seem like the real of the real.
Well, if you look at his outward behavior, there is no one so faithful and sincere…
Even thinking about it again, I still can’t believe it… it’s divine magic. Also from the Wardanaz family.
Already, many religious denominations were very enthusiastic about the fact that Lee Han, from the Wardanaz family, regularly visited the temple and showed interest.
Among the famous families of the empire, there was none as indifferent to religion as the Wardanaz family.
But two awakened.
If this became known, there was a high possibility that not only the Phoenix Tower priests would go crazy but also the priests outside would go crazy.
At least, if Lee Han had a strong religious faith, he would have thought, ‘So, it seems that your deep faith and stupidity have brought about various holy magics.’ However, no matter how much he thought about it, in the eyes of the skeleton principal, Lee Han was far from that.
It was truly amazing.
The morale of the undead world will decrease quickly. So what were you trying to ask earlier?
“Do you know about space-type magic?”
know. I also know how to write. But no matter how good you are, learning now is impossible. It’s physically impossible. Even Professor Garcia would say the same thing.
“…I’m not saying I want to learn.”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
Why does the story go like that?
Wasn’t it? I thought you wanted to learn.
“Just because you ask about magic doesn’t mean everyone wants to learn.”
Is there any reason to ask other than that?
“yes. Yes. Rather, why did Professor Garcia say that?”
This is Professor Garcia’s main research field. So, if you don’t want to learn, why did you ask?
“I was walking around the school when I got beaten up by an enemy who used space travel magic and was kicked out…”
The skeleton principal laughed.
The skeleton headmaster laughed out loud.
The Skeleton Headmaster laughed until the principal’s office shook, windows shattered, and finally the main building itself shook with laughter.
Only after laughing for a long time, enough to create a new world, was the Skeleton Headmaster able to open his mouth in a happy voice.
Hey! Too bad!
“…yes. what. Anyway.”
Lee Han did not waver even though the skeleton principal laughed at him. It was because I didn’t expect anything from the other person in the first place.
“Is there any way to deal with this guy?”
Yes.
“What is that?”
Go to Professor Bagrek and ask for help.
“……”
Lee Han looked at the skeleton principal with a straight face.
With a murderous look in his eyes, the skeleton principal explained as if he was frustrated.
I’m not making fun of you this time.
“Then are you just teasing me…?”
listen carefully. If you got beaten up, he was probably the kind of guy who would cast quickly without giving you time to react, right? If you use the magical power of Einroguard, a similar casting speed is possible.
Principal Skull had a very high opinion of Lee Han’s fighting ability.
Crazy… No, thanks to having endured Professor Voladi Bagrek’s teachings and having innate magical powers, he had quite a few advantages over other outstanding wizards in terms of combat power.
The battle was not won or lost by who could use more complex and difficult magic. The difference was in who could plunge the dagger into the opponent’s heart faster.
Wardanaz is specialized in the latter, both in terms of constitution and in the lessons he has learned, so it will be difficult to subdue him with ordinary space magic.
I don’t know who the opponent was, but it was clear that he had overcome the slow and complicated casting.
“yes.”
It’s not easy to counter that strategy with the magic you have now.
Normally, a wizard would become stronger if given time to prepare, but this was an exception.
The power of spatial magic that overcame its weaknesses was so difficult that even a wizard like Lee Han, who had learned magic from all schools, had difficulty responding to it.
No matter what strategy you prepare, it will not be easy.
But there are always gaps. Even though magic may seem flawless, there is always a loophole for wizards.
No matter how flawless the magic was, the wizard had a loophole.
The flow of magic power that appears before using space magic. Habits of choosing a location when casting space magic…
If these things were thoroughly analyzed and prepared, one attack could be prevented.
Moreover, since Lee Han had an aptitude for all kinds of magic, such an ignorant method had quite a possibility.
You have an aptitude for precognitive magic, so it’s a good thing. You’re lucky.
“I understand, but… why do I have to ask Professor Bagrek for help?”
Well, in order to become familiar with space magic enough to catch something like that, you need someone to attack you constantly, and there aren’t that many people like that. Professor Garcia is too weak-hearted to do such a thing.
As he continues to be beaten by Professor Boladi, he senses some omens of space magic and learns how to read patterns, then goes back underground and figures out the gap in the statue (there was a high possibility that he would get hit again in this process).
Lee Han was impressed by this wise advice.
And I decided.
‘I guess I just shouldn’t go to the basement.’
If you’re embarrassed, should I tell you for you?
“haha. it’s okay.”
