Episode 049
In the Empire, black magic had a bad image.
First of all, isn’t it a bit dull, dark, and gloomy from the outside?
Moreover, the magic they dealt with was ugly and unpleasant.
Curses, summoning undead, dark or poison elements, negative energy, etc.
It was natural for people to be reluctant.
-hello. Dear residents of the village. I am a newly appointed dispatch wizard. My main specialty is elemental magic, especially fire.
-Oh oh! You don’t have to worry about the cold in winter!
-An, hello. I am a newly appointed dispatch wizard. His main specialty is… black magic…
-yes? I beg your pardon?
-Specializes in black magic and undead summoning.
-… Stop him from going to the wizard’s grave.
As much as most people were reluctant to do so, the new students who came here were also the same.
Each of them entered the school with their own great intentions, but they did not necessarily want to learn the persecuted black magic.
But Lee Han looked at the professor with interest.
‘There is a way where others do not go.’
Even before entering school, Lee Han thought black magic was quite valuable.
First of all, there will be fewer other students, so there will be less competition.
And there was no need to go down the path of a black magician just because you took a black magic class.
‘You can just get the credits and go somewhere else.’
You’ll probably hear other magic anyway, so there’s no reason to worry.
And in Lee Han’s opinion, the life of an Imperial Warlock wasn’t that bad.
Although people were afraid, the number of wizards was so small that once hired, they had the advantage of never being fired from their official positions.
The ultimate iron rice bowl!
“I thought everyone would react that way.”
Professor Garcia must have sensed the mood of the students and opened his mouth instead.
“However, contrary to worldly prejudice, black magic is a field that contains deep mystery and logic. You are still unpolished wizards. To find out what you are talented at and what you should aim for, you have to keep trying and experiencing things. “I want you to learn academics with the curiosity of a wizard, rather than throwing away opportunities because of prejudice.”
Professor Garcia’s words were calm yet reasonable. The freshmen looked at Professor Garcia with slightly impressed expressions.
“ruler. “Then who will help Professor Mortum teach dark magic?”
“……”
“……”
Of course, that was it, and black magic was black magic.
The students lowered their heads to avoid Professor Garcia’s gaze.
“Lee Han. Bow your head! “Bow your head!”
Gainando pulled Lee Han’s collar and shouted urgently.
“If you hang out with a warlock, even if you die later, you won’t be able to die and will become an undead soldier!”
“…Are you a wizard?”
Lee Han looked at Gai Nando as if he were puzzled.
Even if we are ordinary people who don’t know much about magic, why do you believe in such things?
“I will help you.”
“!!”
Lee Han raised his hand.
The students looked at Lee Han in surprise and awe.
I knew that the boy from the Wardanaz family was the leader in the Blue Dragon Tower.
But no matter what, I never thought I would volunteer to go to the test of black magic.
Even the Black Turtle Tower students who were afraid of Lee Han after hearing rumors about the Wardanaz family also had their eyes changed.
“Student Lee Han!”
Professor Garcia looked at Lee Han with a very happy expression.
Lee Han knew very well what that expression looked like.
I asked another close professor, ‘Please come and give a lecture sometime,’ and the professor came to visit, but I was nervous when the students stayed still like dumb people.
I wonder if he prepared his students in advance by saying, ‘Hey, raise your hand and ask a question.’
From Professor Garcia’s perspective, I couldn’t imagine how thankful Lee Han would be for standing up now.
“Knock, call. Thank you. Come on.”
As he got closer to Professor Mortum, Lee Han could see why the temperature in the classroom had dropped.
A significant amount of magical energy emanated from Professor Mortum, who was standing still.
It was not just magical power, but magical power of the yin attribute.
This cold and gloomy negative magic is like a symbol of black magicians.
Magical power was basically colorless, but there were many times when the properties of magical power had to be changed to match the magic being performed.
Basically, black magic often required changing magical power into negative properties in this way.
‘This is why I’m not popular.’
His image is already bad, but he casually spreads magic like that on students who approach him.
In this case, even students who were interested and tried to approach them will get scared and take a step back.
Basically, professors here and there were not very good at seducing students.
“You have a lot of magical power.”
“thank you.”
“okay. “Hold up your cane… I’ll demonstrate first.”
Professor Mortum chuckled several times and then waved his hand.
At that moment, the chaotic negative magic power that had been gushing out was suddenly arranged in an orderly manner.

“Arise, servants of bone!”
With a horrifying rattling sound, bone summons suddenly appeared among the students out of thin air.
They twirled around in a strange dance. The students looked like they were on the verge of fainting.
Professor Mortum looked at Lee Han and asked in a happy voice.
“Cough… how are you?”
“yes?”
“I prepared it because I thought students would like it.”
“hmm. “That sounds interesting.”
Lee Han avoided the truth so as not to hurt the professor. Professor Garcia expressed his gratitude with his eyes.
“Of course, I won’t ask you to do this level of magic. Collock. “Because that’s a very difficult magic.”
It was a natural sound, but Lee Han felt grateful again for that natural sound.
Professor Boladi needs to hear this!
“First, let’s convert the magic power to negative properties.”
Lee Han drew out his magic power.
Since I had already converted it into light and water once, I knew the trick to changing properties.
Drawing an image in your head, concentrating on that image, and imbuing it with magic.
Pot!
“You’re pretty good at it.”
Professor Mortum was impressed by the skillful transition.
“thank you.”
“Try to convert it further.”
Lee Han concentrated and began to change his magic power.
‘no. ‘You’re good at it, right?’
Professor Garcia, who was watching, was slightly embarrassed.
It was a pity for Professor Mortum, but he did not want a student like Lee Han to go down a thorny path that no one goes down like black magic.
‘If you do too well, it’s just not good…’
Other wizards went through more trial and error than expected when coming up with the Yin attribute.
This sound property is a broader and more ambiguous concept than you might think.
cold?
The ice properties were also cold.
dark?
The darkness attribute was also dark.
As it is an attribute that includes many things, there were many wizards who were unable to understand it.
But Lee Han thought simply.
‘Let’s think of a bizarre mathematical image, roughly like non-Euclidean geometry or imaginary numbers.’
Lee Han’s unique advantage that other wizards cannot match.
The point was that the range of thinking was wide.
Luckily, the image seemed to be exactly right, and the magic power was smoothly converted into a negative attribute.
a little bit more.
And more and more.
And and more and more.
“…professor?”
Lee Han felt uncomfortable.
Saaaaagh-
Even though it was broad daylight, the classroom became dark, and the temperature, which had already dropped, dropped even further, and breath began to come out.
However, Professor Mortum did not try to stop them and urged them on with an excited expression.
When I saw the man who had been snoring just a moment ago with his eyes shining and not even coughing, he seemed like a completely different person.
“How far is possible? “Try more.”
“Um, Professor Mortum?”
Professor Garcia tried to stop him.
Of course, it was nice to see Professor Mortum so happy, but there were other students in the classroom right now.
There was a gloomy atmosphere in the classroom, and students with sensitive senses could hear hallucinations of non-living things whispering.
In Professor Garcia’s opinion, it should have stopped here and now.
‘If you think about student Lee Han’s magical power…’
As much as I’m curious, I don’t know what will happen if I convert it as much as possible.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to stop?”
“Let’s change it a little more. “I wonder how possible it is.”
“You can check that in other situations as well.”
“but…”
“Stop.”
“oh. “I understand.”
When Professor Garcia looked at him with a straight face, Professor Mortum lowered his tail.
‘It’s a waste…’
Professor Mortum looked at Lee Han with a regretful expression.
One of the most important things in black magic was the amount of magical power of that negative attribute.
Of course, there is no field of magic where magical power is not important, but in black magic, if you have a lot of magical power, the things you can do are truly endless.
Summon undead?
Horsepower was important.
curse?
Horsepower was important.
The same was true for the dark and poison elements…
So I tried to see how far I could go, but they stopped me like this.
‘Professor Garcia is also a very mean person.’
“professor.”
Lee Han called Professor Mortum.
Because the conversion had stopped, a huge amount of magical energy was slowly dissipating.
“ah. I’m sorry. Just swing the wand like this and recite the spell. Be paralyzed! do.”
Lesser Paralysis Curse.
It was a 1st circle black magic and one of the easiest black magic.
A curse that causes mild paralysis, like a cramp in the opponent’s arms or legs.
There is probably no one who has never experienced numbness in their arms or legs in their life.
As such, it was easy to conjure up the image and operate the wand.
“To whom?”
“To me, of course.”
Unlike other magic, curses needed a partner.
Lee Han was embarrassed.
As you know, Professor Mortum looked so weak that even the slightest breeze would knock him over.
‘I hoped one day there would come a day when I could use magic on the professor, but not like this?’
“Is this really okay?”
Professor Mortum answered in annoyance.
“of course. “Hurry up and walk.”
“Aren’t there any defensive spells or anything like that?”
“Cough, cough… At best, it’s a spell that paralyzes an arm or leg. Even if there are problems, how many will there be?”
‘That’s true.’
Lee Han was convinced.
When I thought about it, it was presumptuous for Lee Han, a freshman, to be worried about his professor.
‘Let’s focus more. ‘I might be criticized by the professor for being arrogant.’
As Lee Han closed his eyes and concentrated, Professor Mortum shrugged his shoulders as if telling him to hurry up.
Wizards basically have more magical power than others, and they know how to control the magical power within their bodies with their own will.
As such, it had strong resistance to magic attacks.
Even if you are attacked, your magical power instinctively protects your body.
And people like Professor Mortum, who had been dealing with negative magic for almost their entire lives, were more resistant to negative magic.
The freshman’s spell simply does not block and has no effect even if hit.
‘Once you are blocked, you will realize how deep and vast this black magic is.’
Professor Mortum thought that Lee Han would be deeply impressed if all his magic was blocked.
-I never thought I would feel so calm even though I did my best…! I didn’t know black magic was this great. I want to learn more!
-Collok, if you want to learn, I won’t stop you.
It was a professor’s characteristic, optimistic thought that only a brain-paralyzed person could have.
“Be paralyzed!”
Lee Han pointed his staff at Professor Mortum while casting a spell.
Then, the gathered magical energy rushed forward with explosive will and attacked Professor Mortum.
“!!!”
Professor Mortum was momentarily taken aback by the magical power that was much greater than expected.
He quickly tried to fight back, but the magic that had already overtaken his body enveloped Professor Mortum as if suffocating him.
…In the end, Professor Mortum fell backwards, his entire body stiff and paralyzed.
thud!
“…professor? professor!!”
Lee Han was shocked.
For a moment, dishonorable titles like ‘Professor Killer’ flashed through my mind.
