Episode 406
“Cough. Why did the sound stop?”
Professor Mortum left his students behind and went inside.
I was worried that Lee Han might have made a mistake.
If it were any other magic, I wouldn’t have worried much, but this bone explosion magic is especially dangerous to Lee Han…
Fortunately, the inside was fine.
The prepared shock absorption magic circles and explosion dispersion magic circles were still maintained, and there were plenty of bone fragments left in the box for practice purposes.
Professor Mortum asked because he didn’t understand.
“Have you lost your magic power?”
“That’s not it.”
“Well, that can’t be possible.”
“…That’s not it, I was told that I had to prove something at the festival…”
Lee Han couldn’t believe it.
In the first place, isn’t this related to the summoning magic lecture?
No matter what Professor Millais tells you to do, the standards probably won’t be easy, and you’ll have to invest quite a bit of time and effort…
Lee Han had too much work to do to shoulder the pride of black magic.
“Oh, you mean that? “Cough.”
“professor. “I have so much to do now.”
Although Lee Han enjoyed lying in front of his professors, he was honest at times like this.
Even now, after the lecture, I have to go take care of the basilisk egg.
“Know. “All the professors know this.”
“Is that so? It seems to me that there are more people who don’t know…”
“Cough. And there is nothing special for you to do during the festival.”
“??”
Lee Han was taken aback by the professor’s words.
They told me to prove my pride in black magic, but there was nothing I could do about it?
‘what? Is it a trick?’
“I don’t quite understand?”
Professor Mortum chuckled and answered as if asking such an obvious question.
“That’s because your personality is such that you’ll try to prove yourself even if you don’t ask me to do anything. Collock. “I believe it.”
“…no!”
Lee Han shouted in anger for the first time in a long time.
Why this misunderstanding!?
* * *
If there are professors who want to retain useful students and continue their academic legacy, there are also professors who want to focus only on their own research without such ambition.
The professor who taught transformation magic, Professor Doppelganger Lezy, was just such a professor.
Einrogard The crazy guys on campus… No, even while the professors were fighting over Wardanaz, Professor Rzy did the opposite.
If you get close to the sun, it melts.
There was no need to drag Wodanaz along. Professor Lezy hoped that his peaceful daily life would continue.
“…I studied steel conversion in the first semester. In the meantime, you must have touched and tried to understand steel a lot. “Maybe everyone does.”
Professor Lezy clasped his hands together and explained slowly.
When he was like a professor, Professor Reji had an air of dignity that was comparable to that of the great nobles of the empire.
Compared to when he transformed into a fake Gainando and got hit by Lee Han, it was unimaginable.
“If you don’t understand it completely… that’s okay. There is no need to be too intimidated. “Mastering any material takes time.”
‘…wasn’t it something that had to be mastered before the start of the second semester?’
Lee Han, who learned steel transformation while being beaten by Professor Boladi, was embarrassed inside.
“As you continue to learn other magic, the blocked parts will gradually be released. Do not forget it. “The goal of this semester is to find my aptitude by dealing with the conversion of various materials.”
If in the first semester you learned the easiest and most popular steel transformation and its applications, in the second semester you will deal with all kinds of materials and materials and select those that suit the wizard’s aptitude.
Excellent transformation wizards usually carry compressed reagents and use them in emergencies by converting them into materials they are good at.
Convert the compressed reagent into mercury and then explosively increase its volume to use it for attack, or convert it into compressed fine sand and use it as a hard sand shield.
This wasn’t the only way to use it in combat. He could transform the ingredients needed for alchemy or transform his appearance to fool monsters.
After proudly finishing his lecture today, Professor Lezy bid farewell to his students with dignity and turned around.
…Until Lee Han followed.
“professor?”
“Gyeong.”
Professor Leji hiccuped at the unexpected visit of his monster student.
“Are you okay?”
“Of course… of course it’s okay.”
Professor Lezy spoke with dignity, hiding his hiccups. When in his professorial form, Professor Lezy was always able to remain calm.
“What brought you here?”
“I have something to ask the professor.”
Lee Han not only recommended sacred magic to the same tower priests, but also listened to their lectures and did chores with them.
That was taking care of the basilisk eggs.
However, Basilisk eggs were as difficult to care for as the monster was notorious for.
Building a dedicated cabin and caring for them is just the beginning.
After feeding them and adjusting their temperature, we had to immediately move on to the next task.
After feeding the eggs generously for a few days until they stop eating, prepare a new nest that suits the eggs’ tastes. Basically, basilisks found in the western part of the empire prefer soft bird feathers, while basilisks found in the eastern part prefer hard rocks, but not absolutely. What’s safe is that the Transformation Wizard stands by and caters to the Basilisk’s whims…
In response to the absurd request, Lee Han asked Professor Boladi, who came to the cabin.

-professor. There are limits to the materials available today, so how do you accommodate your whims?
-To learn transformation magic. You’re lucky. I already had to learn more transformation magic.
-……
It was bullshit, but we definitely needed a conversion wizard.
Lee Han looked at Professor Leji and asked.
“Could you please help me take care of the basilisk eggs?”
“It won’t work… of course.”
“thank you!!”
Although I didn’t want to get involved, Professor Lezy couldn’t bear to refuse.
I felt a sense of responsibility as a teacher, but more than anything, I was worried that this ambitious monster student would hold a grudge against me for refusing his request.
I’m already at this point now, but I didn’t know that I would be appointed as a professor or principal right away when I graduated.
‘You are such a kind person.’
Without knowing Professor Leji’s true feelings, Lee Han was moved.
pop!
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed when Professor Lezy transformed his appearance with the power of a doppelganger.
Because the opponent…
Because it was Gainando.
“Uh… Professor? Why Kainan Road?”
“just.”
“ah. okay.”
Lee Han didn’t understand, but decided to just accept it.
The professor says he will help, but what does it matter whether it is Gainando or the skeleton principal?
…I thought I would be a little concerned if it looked like a skeleton principal.
‘Other professors won’t even notice.’
Professor Lezy did not want to get involved in the fights of other professors.
For no reason, when I went to the professor’s lounge later, I asked, ‘Where was Wardanaz that day? How much trouble would it be if someone said, “I think Professor Lezy was with me.”
If it were Guyando’s appearance, other professors wouldn’t even notice it from afar.
* * *
“hey. Cainan Island. I keep telling you to stop doing other things and go quickly. There’s a lot of work to be done. “I have to finish my work today.”
“don’t worry. don’t worry! “I can finish it even if I come in a little later!”
My friends clicked their tongues at the sight of Kainando staying in the main building instead of going to his dormitory duties.
“That bastard doesn’t listen to me when I say he doesn’t have Wardanaz.”
“Gainando. “If you do that, you’ll get scolded a lot.”
“joy. “I don’t even have Wardanaz, so who can scold me…”
Gainando, who was speaking, widened his eyes as he saw his own image passing by in the distance.
“Ghost… It’s a ghost! You stole my look! Shapeshifter!? “When did you steal my image!?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“excuse me! Look over there!!”
Gainando shouted, but Lee Han and Professor Leji had already passed by.
The friends looked at Guyando as if they were saying all sorts of things.
“hey. Let’s stop playing and go.”
“Stop making strange excuses.”
“It’s real! really…!!”
Gainando shouted in a voice full of resentment, but his friends did not believe him.
“There was definitely a monster passing by that took my form…!”
“Don’t monsters have anything to do? “I’m going to steal your appearance?”
* * *
“I have a question.”
Professor Gainando, or rather, Leji, asked the question carefully.
“yes. “Do whatever it takes.”
“…Why are you taking care of the basilisk eggs? “Isn’t that what first graders do?”
“There is a long and sad story…”
Lee Han opened the door of the cabin and sat down, speechless.
Professor Lezy stared intently at the basilisk egg lying in the middle.
Although the professor was not an expert on rare animals, he had an idea of the condition of the basilisk egg.
‘It’s in very good condition.’
Thanks to proper nutrition and a strong bond with its caregivers, the basilisk was very psychologically stable.
To be honest, I was surprised that a first-year student was raised so well.
‘Blue Dragon Tower students probably don’t have a knack for caring.’
Although they always showed excellent grades when it came to magic, the Blue Dragon Tower students also had weaknesses.
When it came to taking care of animals or plants, he was so bad that he was on par with the White Tiger Tower students.
“I took very good care of it. “Now let me check it out.”
‘oh my god. How can Gainando look trustworthy?’
Lee Han was surprised by the sense of trust given by Professor Leji, who spoke in the form of Gainando.
Saying something like that with Guyanando’s face made me feel uncomfortable.
Shiriririk!
With the spell, Professor Lezy’s magic began. In the blink of an eye, the Basilisk’s nest was transformed into more than a dozen different materials.
Copper, mud, sand, maple tree branches, hot amorphous liquid (Lee Han couldn’t even guess what kind of potion this liquid was), gold, lava…
Lee Han, who saw the golden light flashing by, asked without realizing it.
“Wouldn’t the basilisk like it if I made a nest out of gold?”
“I already checked, but it wasn’t the case. Basilisks don’t like gold like humans do. And it’s a good thing. “If gold had been the answer, a huge amount of magical power would have been consumed to maintain it.”
‘Tch.’
Although Lee Han was disappointed, he had no choice but to admit that what the professor said was not wrong.
The rarer and more valuable the material, the higher the difficulty level and the more difficult it will be to maintain.
“found.”
Professor Lezy stopped his movements and spoke. Lee Han asked very happily.
“What is it? What material seems best to use, Professor?”
“Mercury.”
“…ah. “Will the professor do it?”
“I will do it for you once, but from then on, you will have to keep walking to maintain it, so you have to learn.”
Professor Lezy calmly spoke about the current situation.
Transformation magic was not fixed forever.
Moreover, raising a basilisk in this way required a wizard to constantly stand by its side.
“But mercury is not something I can handle with transformation magic.”
“That’s right… I guess I haven’t mastered steel yet.”
“…Um…what…”
Lee Han quietly avoided answering Professor Reji’s words.
“Then I…”
Just as Professor Rzy was about to say that he would visit and help every time, the door opened and Professor Boladi came in.
Professor Boladi looked at Gaynando, raised his eyebrows and asked.
“professor?”
“…yes. That’s right…”
pop!
Professor Lezy became sullen and returned to his normal self.
No wonder I got caught by Professor Boladi.
Isn’t he a stubborn and uncompromising opponent?
“What were you talking about?”
“Wardanaz… wants to learn mercury transformation, but he says it’s difficult. Because of the level of difficulty, I wonder if I should master steel first before going in…”
“I already know how to handle steel.”
“Is that so?!”
“yes.”
Professor Boladi looked at Lee Han as if what he said was correct.
This time it was Lee Han’s turn to become sullen.
