Episode 404
No matter how angry he looked, the lightning-walking professor was different from the thunder-walking professor.
The experience of an adventurer who has traveled from end to end of the empire and experienced hardships and hardships is bound to be on a different level.
If you ask an angry person, ‘Aren’t you really angry?’, the anger that was trying to subside will likely flare up.
Professor Lightning Walk expertly changed the topic.
“He’ll probably come.”
“Are they summoning wizards?”
“for a moment…”
The lightning-walking professor folded his fingers and calculated.
Lee Han was astonished at that sight.
Doesn’t counting that mean that at least two teams are visiting?
‘You bastards!’
Unlike the priests who came to do good deeds, the wizards’ visits had very impure intentions.
Aren’t they coming to check the students’ skills and practice magic?
Even the devils of hell wouldn’t be this heartless.
“Are you visiting to see the students’ magic?”
“I guess so?”
“How can people do that?”
“…Yes?”
Professor Lightning Walk was slightly embarrassed by Lee Han’s anger.
Why are you angry about this?
“Anyway, next week will be summoning wizards. And don’t worry too much. They’re not as crazy as the Paragranum Guild… no, they’re not skilled. “There are probably a lot of wizards with less skill than you who will come, right?”
Next week’s festival of summoning wizards, <Boltzmann’s Call>, was a festival and social gathering honoring the great summoning wizard of ancient times, Boltzmann.
The festival where only wizards gathered was a little different from the general festivals of the empire.
A place where wizards who don’t normally meet each other can show off their magic, be evaluated, and compete with each other.
However, if you wanted to be serious, you could put your pride on the line, but if you wanted to enjoy it lightly, you could enjoy it as lightly as you wanted.
Thanks to this, more magicians with lower skills participated than expected.
A place where first-year students at Einrogard are not treated as iron heads at school, but instead gather together the empire’s best talents and inherit the empire’s best magical prosthetics.
Among the wizards who studied on their own outside or were overworked by eccentric wizards, there were many cases where their skills were inferior to those of first-year students.
These wizards will also participate in the festival, so there will be no situation like the Paragranum Guild…
“Aren’t you going to come in from outside and bring nothing with you? “The priests always brought us food.”
“…Just get your work done.”
“yes.”
Lee Han sped up the work while controlling the golem.
Even the lightning-walking professor was impressed by the way he became more and more adept at controlling while grunting.
‘But what are you mumbling?’
As Lee Han muttered on top of the golem, Professor Lightning Step became curious.
Are you gaining insight from the advice given by the professors earlier and memorizing additional spells?
“Summoning wizards. “If you come, I won’t leave you alone.”
“……”
Professor Lightning Walk was astonished to see him skillfully controlling the golem while saying other words, even though he couldn’t concentrate on controlling it.

When I returned to the tower after finishing my hard work, there was a subtle silence in the lounge.
It was different from the tense silence. It was an atmosphere of reflection somehow.
Lee Han looked puzzled and asked the Tijeeling priest.
“What happened?”
“Everyone is reflecting.”
“!”
The priests fought with each other, rarely shouting.
But again, priests were different from other top students.
After continued heated discussions, they agreed to understand, consider, and respect each other’s positions.
Lee Han was moved after hearing the explanation.
‘Even the skeleton headmaster’s poison doesn’t work on priests!’
In fact, the fight between the priests this time had nothing to do with the skull principal, but Lee Han thought so.
“Then, from now on, I can feel free to ask questions about the church?”
“yes?”
The Tigiling priest looked at Lee Han as if asking what he was talking about.
“…is not it? “Now that I’ve reflected on it, faith is now an individual’s freedom…?”
“no. We all decided that the reason we were dissatisfied this time was because we decided on the order in a way that left it to luck. So we changed our approach.”
“…which?”
“It was decided that the winner would have the right to recommend faith to Wardanaz.”
“……”
Lee Han turned his head and looked at the priests.
Looking closely, I saw that the priests who I had thought were just silent were gathered in groups of threes and threes, plotting a strategy.
-I never thought <Geometry and Arithmetic> would be a competitive event.
-Do not worry. We have a priest from the Sisenza Church, right?
-I have never been interested in other denominations, but I was impressed by the abilities of the Sisenza denomination.
-Haha, I’m just embarrassed…

“???”
-I don’t care even if there is a Sisenja Church over there.
-you’re right! Let’s share information and talk about how we can beat them.
-Our denomination…
“……”
It was unlikely that he would win on his own in a competitive match with many people participating.
Smart people tend to come together and cooperate even if the reward is slightly reduced.
The priests were gathering together with like-minded people or with similar religious tendencies and actively planning strategies.
It was a sight that anyone could see that a skeleton principal would enjoy.
“…What have I done?”
“yes?”
Priest Tigiling tilted his head at Lee Han’s words.
Priest Tigiling didn’t think his current appearance was bad.
Aren’t priests who normally only focus on their own work talking with other priests and discussing faith?
The priests themselves were getting to know each other, having fun discussing topics they would not normally discuss.
“I guess I should go in and rest… thank you. Tigiling Priest. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
As Lee Han went up with a sullen look on his face, the other priests stopped talking and asked.
“Wardanaz’s face seemed dark. Is it because of your mood?”
“I heard from the people at the Blue Dragon Tower earlier that the people at the White Tiger Tower kept bothering me while I was working…”
“Such a sad thing. Next time, I will go to the White Tiger Tower and ask for a favor.”
“I should go with you too. “By the way, who did you hear it from?”
“Gainando told me.”
“I should remember that.”
The next day, the angry White Tiger Tower students threw balls made of wads of paper as soon as they found Gainando.

“As with any magic, sophistication is a special virtue in summoning magic. A good summoning wizard must be able to control any situation. The great summoning wizard Boltzmann said: He said, ‘The easiest summoning spell that succeeds by calculation is more valuable than the most difficult summoning spell that succeeds by chance.’ To that extent…”
Professor Millais, who was talking about how to further develop the <Paper Bird> summoning magic covered in the first semester, raised his eyebrows at the distracted atmosphere.
“Does everyone have anything to say? Rafadel student. “Tell me.”
Rafael, a black magic student who hates black magic, was embarrassed when he was called as the representative.
When Lee Han made eye contact with Rafadel, he gave a small piece of advice.
-Tell me honestly.
Given Professor Millay’s personality, if he admits that he did something wrong, he will move on without bothering him like a skeleton principal.
“So, the summoning wizards were talking about whether they were really coming.”
“……”
Lee Han sighed deeply. Rafael saw that and asked back in confusion.
“Didn’t you tell me to do it this way?”
“I told you to apologize honestly, you idiot…”
“You may sit down. Rafadel student. It seems like everyone is nervous about the <Boltzmann Calling> festival. “Summon wizards from outside are visiting the school, so it’s natural for everyone to be excited.”
‘Are you excited?’
Lee Han was puzzled.
At least Lee Han and his friends’ reaction was, ‘Oh, are some crazy people from outside trying to harass us again?’…
One of the Black Turtle Tower students courageously raised his hand and asked:
“Are you bringing anything to eat?”
“no. “It’s not that kind of festival.”
The atmosphere was agitated by the firm answer.
‘Then why are you coming?’ ‘Is school a joke?’ ‘Aren’t you being rude while visiting the great Einrogard?’ The same whispers were heard everywhere.
Professor Millay stopped the students’ whispering with a light movement and spoke.
“I’m sorry for not being able to live up to everyone’s expectations, but the ‘Boltzmann’s Call’ festival is not a festival where you can eat and drink. This is a festival where summoning wizards see each other’s magic and honor Boltzmann. Naturally, I don’t expect much from my students.”
“thank god.”
“yes?”
“……”
Lee Han internally lamented that his friends still seemed naive.
When the professor said, ‘I have no expectations,’ there was no way he meant it.
No matter how kind Professor Garcia is, he cannot help but feel disappointed if his students do not perform well.
It was a burden that a professor could not help.
“But showing shame in front of wizards from outside will hurt the students’ self-esteem.”
“you’re right!”
“I’m glad you know. Let’s focus on summoning magic. <Summoning a Paper Bird> seems simple at first glance, so many summoning wizards don’t bother anymore once they learn it. But the Empire’s greatest summoning wizards never underestimate the potential of this magic.”
Professor Millais summoned a paper bird from the air.
I took a walk around the classroom where the paper was leaking. Professor Millay said while looking at the White Tiger Tower students.
“You can think about repairing the golem after the lecture.”
“…!”
The White Tiger Tower students blushed and closed their books.
He was caught while trying to figure out how to make the golem look better.
‘It’s the magic of far-sightedness.’
Lee Han realized that Professor Millais was looking around the classroom with the perspective of a paper bird.
Although it looked simple on the outside, connecting the summoned beast’s vision with one’s own vision and exploring in that way was a very advanced technique.
Summon, connect sight lines, and fly summoned animals while concentrating your awareness on the main body at the same time.
“You don’t have to go this far…”
-Consider the golem’s center of gravity!
The students were surprised when the paper bird opened its mouth and chirped.
Although it is less difficult than the Far View magic, it was a very useful magic to record voices on a paper bird and transmit them in that way.
‘I want to learn that.’
Lee Han definitely felt the need.
I needed a way to contact other top students.
Check the current prices with Black Turtle Tower black market managers, or check how many meals your Blue Dragon Tower friends have starved…
“…There is also a method like this.”
As soon as the professor finished speaking, the bird rushed and crashed into the classroom wall.
Then the paper bird disappeared in a flash of light, leaving a magic imprint on the wall.
Using paper birds as a medium, magic was engraved on the wall.
“An excellent wizard is not obsessed with flashy or difficult magic. Even if it is an easy magic, its effects vary greatly depending on how it is used. Please everyone keep this in mind. Now then… let’s each improve our paper birds. Let’s see how you can improve your paper birds during this semester.”
The simpler the magic, the more the personality of the magician who modifies it is revealed.
Professor Millais hoped that students this semester would gain a lot of insight through their experience improving paper birds.
‘To capture your voice…’
Lee Han began searching through the book to capture the audio.
Professor Millais looked at Lee Han, raised his monocle and asked.
“What are you going to do, student Lee Han?”
“I’m trying to capture my voice.”
“hmm…”
“?”
When Professor Millais looked at Lee Han with a stern expression, Lee Han became puzzled.
Did I make some mistake?
“It would be a good idea to raise the difficulty level.”
“…professor. “I haven’t even tried this yet…”
