Episode 402
“It will take some time.”
When the returning alchemists of the Paragranum Guild said that, the thunderous professor asked them what they were talking about.
“What… are you trying to summon that’s taking so long?”
“According to what I heard and calculated from Yoanen Makin, I thought that no matter how much I reduced the intimidation, the lower-level spirits might just be crushed.”
“Not to that extent. …maybe.”
Lee Han timidly countered.
I have never seen a spirit crushed in front of Lee Han before.
“It will take time, so it would be better to check other things first.”
“What if it’s something else?”
“Please wait a moment.”
One of the alchemists got up and went out.
Lee Han and Professor Thunder Gait looked at each other.
What are you doing?
“What is it?”
“well…? “I don’t know either…”
After a few minutes, the alchemist returned with Professor Boladi.
“This person says he will help with verification. Thank you again.”
“It’s what a professor should do.”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Professor Thunder Walk lamented at the same time.
Among the many, many professors at school, why?
* * *
When a wizard casts a spell, it always leaves a trace.
The moment the magic power was woven with one’s own will to change reality, magic energy was released around the wizard.
The magical energy released in this way remained to some extent even after the magic ended, and keen wizards were able to detect such traces.
And one of the goals that the alchemists of Paragranum wanted with this potion was to hide the release of this magical power.
“It will be useful in battle.”
Professor Boladi had a rare faint expression of satisfaction in his voice. Lee Han felt fear.
“Why on earth do you take this potion?”
“There are rare plants and animals that are affected by the reverberations of magic. “This potion will be of great help when dealing with such plants and animals.”
“Even when training disciples.”
Professor Boladi added something from the side, but the alchemists did not understand.
‘I’ll be amazed.’
Until now, there were roughly three ways that Lee Han figured out first when Professor Boladi attacked.
The emanation of magical power, the exuding vitality, the visible movements.
However, in the case of life, Professor Boladi not only skillfully controlled it, but also used it to cheat, so Lee Han’s lack of experience was at a disadvantage.
I was somehow able to get a feel for it based on the discharge of magical energy and visible movements, but one of them disappeared.
puck!
After taking a sip of the potion, Professor Boladi swung his cane, and Lee Han barely managed to block it. It was a good thing he was paying attention, it was several times more demanding than usual.
Professor Boladi must have felt that as well, nodding his head and asking.
“I’d like to get a few bottles of this potion.”
“I will send it to you when it is completed.”
“……”
Lee Han thought he should take care of it too.
Because I didn’t know when…no, I’d have to fight with other people.
What I felt while fighting Professor Boladi was that it was quite difficult to exploit the loopholes of seasoned battle wizards.
‘Ordinary surprise attacks actually don’t work.’
In general, there was no way that using an invisibility spell and conducting a surprise attack would not work.
However, it was a different story for the battle mage.
Since the method of surprise attack using invisibility magic is so well known, everyone has a prepared plan.
In order to exploit the weaknesses of the battle wizard, a creative method was needed to go beyond the opponent’s ideas.
<The Veil of Paragranum> could be one of those methods.
Even an experienced battle mage would be shocked if an opponent who appeared right in front suddenly made a surprise attack without any warning.
“The spirit is ready!”
“Now?”
Lee Han grumbled while massaging his numb arm.
If he had been summoned a little sooner, there would have been no need to summon Professor Boladi.
“ruler. Come this way…”
As he opened the door and went out, a cool breeze blew past Lee Han’s face.
As I looked into the air, I saw the shape of a spirit with the shape of a bird flickering. Anyone could tell that it was a wind spirit.
“oh. “If we become friends, is it possible to sign a contract?”
Lee Han asked with joy.
The spirit that Lee Han could call now was Perkuntra, one of the most cost-effective spirits in Einroguard.
It is like a special move that cannot be called for a while once called, so there were many cases where it could not be called when it was really needed.
And I was doubtful whether I would actually be able to perform even if called.
But that wind spirit seemed really useful.

If there was a spirit like that right now, I could have asked for it and found it last time when the White Tiger Tower guys disappeared…
Food Duck!
When Lee Han came out, the wind spirit suddenly flapped its wings like crazy and returned to the spirit world.
“……”
“……”
There was an awkward silence.
It was Professor Boladi who ended the silence.
“You couldn’t fool the spirit’s eyes.”
“Let’s improve it a little more!”
The alchemists spoke enthusiastically.
This failure did not hurt the alchemists in any way.
New discoveries can only be made after hundreds of failures.
Rather, I was just thankful for the minor trials right before completion, like now. Because we were able to further improve the level of completion.
“……”
Of course, it was inevitable that one student would be hurt.
* * *
It was the weekend, but Lee Han studied outside instead of going back to the tower.
In the garden in front of the main building, I saw many first-year students playing in groups of twos and threes.
“Wardanaz. “Can I not stop by the Phoenix Tower?”
“Don’t ask stupid questions. It’s obvious who Lee Han considers his true friend. yes?”
Gainando became triumphant and answered on his behalf.
‘It’s because I feel sorry for seeing the priests fighting.’
Now, the Phoenix Tower priests were sitting in the lounge like some kind of conclave, talking with the determination to see it through to the end.
-The next sacred magic is from our church…
-no! The opinions of the parties must be respected the most! To our church as you are listening to the enchantment!
– Since you are listening to the magic of wisdom, aren’t you from our church?
-I heard that they are trying to raise basilisks in our church…
When I saw that, no matter how strange it was, I couldn’t help but feel a burden.
If the two denominations just happened to be lucky and were unable to awaken divine magic from then on…
The priests may not show it, but they must be very sad on the inside.
“I don’t want to go back to the tower right now.”
“yes?! look!”
“But Cainando. Are you doing your homework properly? Open the book <Advanced Geometry and Arithmetic>.”
“I didn’t… I didn’t bring it with me.”
“Go and get it.”
Gainando lowered his head and muttered as he walked towards the tower. The Blue Dragon Tower friends hastily opened their books and looked down.
Of course, there were people who didn’t do that.
In the case of the princess, she was glaring at the open book as if she were going to pierce it, regardless of whether Gai Nando was walking or not.
“Why are you like that? “Are there any overdue assignments?”
“ah. Because of the alchemists of Paragranum.”
“We just cut it, but the princess pointed out a few parts and returned it to me.”
Lee Han had already passed, but the other students had not.
Most students gave up due to the merciless evaluation, but some of them were clinging to the specific criticism they received.
‘for a moment. Those guys are people like Professor Boladi. Did they explain it properly?’
In Lee Han’s opinion, the alchemists of the Paragranum Guild were the alchemist version of Professor Boladi.
If people there were more active and aggressive, wouldn’t they become Professor Boladi?
…It’s a good idea, but there are many details that haven’t been resolved yet. It would be a good idea to come up with a way to completely conceal the energy. Energy cannot be concealed using the methods described here. If you come up with a way to conceal your energy…
“……”
Lee Han was astonished when he saw the potion the princess was researching.
Surprisingly, they were researching a potion similar to <Paragranum’s Veil>!
Of course, there were a lot of empty parts due to the difference in skills, but the fact that he completed it as well as I did was impressive enough.
Lee Han asked cautiously.
“Did the alchemists say anything?”
“??”
The princess, who was concentrating, did not notice that Lee Han had called her at first, but realized it later and was embarrassed.
“What… are you talking about?”
‘You didn’t say anything.’
Given the nature of the alchemists, there was no way they would give advice like, ‘Actually, we’re completing this right now, so let’s try it this way and that.’
However, at the very least, you can say, ‘The parts that need to be filled and the level of difficulty are too high for a first-year student to complete this, so why not try a different potion?’
Even Professor Thunderstruck would give that level of consideration.
But without saying anything, he just said, ‘Oh, let’s keep trying.’
‘I heard you’re a less fierce Professor Boladi.’
Lee Han said quietly because he felt sorry that the princess continued to suffer.
“Aren’t the alchemists a little strange?”
“…?”
The princess tilted her head.
Honestly, all wizards were strange. Compared to the professors here, the alchemists were nothing particularly strange.
‘I asked the wrong question.’
Lee Han regretted it.
The other person was also a student at Einrogard, so it wouldn’t have been particularly strange.
“It seems like the alchemists know too much about this potion…”
“You answered right away…?”
The princess stared at Lee Han, not knowing what he was trying to say.
It felt like he was trying to say something, but I couldn’t quite get it right.
“Doesn’t that look remind you of something?”
“…ah. Paragranum alchemists are skilled? So… the alchemy guilds in the capital are now more likely to receive it from the Capital Knights’ potion delivery business… so the power structure of the capital’s alchemy guild may be shaken in the future!”
The princess looked at Lee Han with admiring eyes.
Lee Han had a lot to say, but he held back and answered.
“…That’s true, but let’s just add water moon, golden pheasant flower, and alabaster.”
Lee Han, who was tired of repeating the story, just told him the ingredients he needed right now.
It was part of the production method for <The Curtain of Paragranum>.
“!!!!”
The princess looked at Lee Han in astonishment, several times more surprised than just now.
I can’t believe I came up with the recipe just by reading it once.
It was a flash like the alchemists of Paragranum.
This is an area of natural talent that you can’t even think of with your own talents!
“How on earth…”
“Friends! The professor is calling someone! let’s go!”
When someone suddenly ran up and shouted, the Blue Dragon Tower friends threw down their books and jumped up.
Other top students next to me also hurriedly packed their bags and started running.
Lee Han, who had not yet fully grasped the situation, ran along and asked.
“what? “What’s going on?”
“Professor, I want to help you prepare for lecture!”
“…They’re all running for it voluntarily like this?”
“Give me something to eat!”
“ah…”
Lee Han was amazed at the sight of his friends at the Blue Dragon Tower running without anyone.
In the first semester, I was surprised to see people who would have been wallowing around thinking, ‘Well, we have a lot to eat anyway…’.
“Should I just stay in a different tower in my second year?”
“?!?!?”
The princess, who heard Lee Han’s muttering from the side, became thoughtful and waved her hand.
* * *
It was Professor Lightning Walk who called the students.
“Dig a ditch and a road from here to here, and dig very deep here. “No matter what comes out, it cannot escape from inside.”
“yes! professor!”
Lee Han was shocked to see his friends smiling brightly.
“What do you guys mean by this preparation… no. done.”
Lee Han decided to just find out on his own.
What would be the point of finding out that next week’s <Advanced Vehicle Training> lecture will feature a scary guy?
“Professor Millais will also be sharing this space, so you have to dig it carefully.”
“……”
Even a summoning magic lecture?
