Episode 492
“is it.”
Professor Boladi didn’t pay much attention to Lee Han’s excuses and took out a vial containing red potion from his pocket and took a sip.
At first, I thought it was a magic recovery potion…
‘It’s blood, right?’
Lee Han realized that Professor Boladi had used blood magic to amplify his magical power.
Actually, considering the power of the blood sword just shown, it would have been difficult for even Professor Boladi to cast it so quickly without any consequences.
“Are your magical powers okay?”
Lee Han asked because he was worried about the professor.
Sometimes, it was easy to forget when looking at the out-of-this-world appearance shown by Einrogard’s professors, but the professors were also people of flesh and blood.
…Of course, there was also a lich…
Magic was not a convenient study where you could only get rewards without paying anything, and of course, after such an intense battle, there was a burden on the wizards as well.
“Okay. “I don’t think it’s anything you need to worry about.”
Just as a teacher might worry about his disciple, there was no need for the disciple to worry about his teacher.
Professor Boladi glanced at Lee Han.
Even though the battle was quite intense, there didn’t seem to be any problems with the mana.
It was surprising, but it was truly an overwhelming amount of magical power.
“Do you remember the magic you just used?”
“yes? “You mean <Pengerin’s cold elemental clone>?”
Professor Boladi slowly shook his head.
Of course, the success of <Pengerin’s Cold Elemental Clone> was great, but that wasn’t what the professor wanted to say now.
“The magic I used after that.”
“Ah, the rotation property was added to the water beads…”
“okay. “I think we can give it a name.”
“…!”
Lee Han was surprised.
Giving a name to magic was never meant lightly.
This was possible only when the magic had a value that was clearly distinguishable from other magic.
After seeing the magic missile spell written in the book, Gainando casted it and said, ‘Because my magic is much slower and weaker than the magic written in the book, I will name this <Gainando’s Magic Missile>! Even if you say, ‘It’s like magic that anyone can easily use!’, who will listen?
It was quite surprising for Professor Boladi to say something like that, as it was not something that a wizard could force himself to do.
“You mean your name? “I don’t think it’s that much magic.”
It wasn’t that I wasn’t proud.
The joy of successfully casting a spell that had been forced into separate casting processes in one go was a sense of accomplishment that only a wizard could feel.
It was similar to the feeling of putting together dozens of complicated puzzle pieces.
However, not everyone who succeeds in difficult magic can be named…
“You don’t have to make something out of nothing to give it a name. “Improvements can also be named.”
“That’s true, but…”
When Lee Han hesitated, Professor Boladi explained in more detail.
“The magic I just used looks similar to Yumidhus’ Suoctan, but it is clearly different.”
It was a water elemental magic that was evaluated as lacking in destructive power, but it was Eumidifus that reversed that evaluation.
A wizard who maximizes destructive power by combining the water element with various advanced properties!
One of them, <Eumidihus’ Water Octane>, was a magic that combined the water element with the rotation attribute to the extreme.
The penetrating and destructive power concentrated at this single point was famous for the anecdote in which Eumidihus, the founder of magic, used it himself to instantly kill a demonic peac*ck.
As Professor Voladi studied under Eumidhus, it was only natural that he taught this magic to his intelligent student who was seeking in-depth knowledge of elemental magic.
And as this student greedily requested, he eventually reinterpreted and improved Suboktan in his own way and completed it.
Unnecessary processes are cut out from the original magic, and the missing parts are sensuously supplemented using magic.
Although it was less powerful than when Eumidhus cast it directly, it was enough. It’s powerful enough to hit the Sea Serpent and tie it up.
Above all, it was impressive that the casting speed was drastically reduced.
In magic combat, what was needed was the minimum amount of precise strength to defeat the enemy, not boasting about one’s strength.
“It would be much better suited for person-to-person combat.”
“Isn’t this a bit of a waste of magical power?”
It felt good to receive a bigger compliment than expected, but Lee Han took a realistic approach.
The parts that were cut while hastily omitting unnecessary processes were a wasteful use of horsepower.
“Because all magic has pros and cons.”
“…thank you. “I will consider it an honor.”
Lee Han honestly expressed his gratitude and decided to enjoy it.
‘It’s not bad.’
Of course, it was unlikely that this <Wodanaz’s Suboctan> magic would become a magic that would spread widely throughout the empire.
It would be nice if he could play and eat for the rest of his life with just one magic, but Lee Han doesn’t have such vain expectations.
‘If you look at it objectively, the flaws are a bit big, but…’
First of all, the water element type combat magic itself is a bit minor, and if you add the rotation attribute, it becomes even more minor, and if you add the disadvantage of overconsumption of magic power…
Apparently, the wizards that could be used were too limited.
But even taking that into account, it was true that he was happy to have a name for his magic.
Later, when submitting a proposal or receiving investment, wouldn’t it look much more plausible if you added one line, ‘I have completed the 4th circle magic <Wardanaz’s Sub-Octan>’.
Professor Boladi nodded as if he was satisfied as his student was happy.
Then he opened his mouth again.
“When I return to Einrogard, I will write a book summarizing the water elemental magic I discovered.”
“…yes?”

Lee Han, who I liked, paused.
‘What did you just say?’
It was not uncommon for a wizard to compile his or her understanding of magic into a book, such as <On Basic Lightning Elemental Magic and Its Applications> or <On Basic Blood Magic and Its Applications>.
Einrogard students also created books by organizing their realizations for training and learning.
…Usually upper grades!
While Lee Han was shocked and thought, ‘Isn’t this person crazy?’ the professor continued.
“ah. for a moment. “You were mistaken.”
“I thought you would, too.”
Lee Han secretly hoped that Professor Boladi would ask him to try again in his fourth year.
‘is not it? Since he is a person with no conscience, he might make it a third grader. Then he avoids taking classes in his third year…’
“Write two books. One is about the magic I realized, and the other is about the direction of improvement in magic.”
One was to organize the magic, and the other was to think about how to develop the magic further.
Professor Boladi added one more thing to satisfy his student’s magical, endless intellectual curiosity.
Otherwise, I didn’t know what kind of crazy thing I would do like I did to Mr. Serpent today.
“……”
While Lee Han was so embarrassed that he couldn’t say anything, the thunderous professor came running towards him.
The student’s face was full of fatigue as he had somehow managed to comfort and soothe the Makin family and the city’s residents who almost suffered a heart attack due to jumping into the battlefield.
“Hey you crazy guy! “Why on earth did you run in front of Mr. Serpent!”
The thunder-walking professor who shouted out loudly flinched when he saw Lee Han’s granite-like expression filled with anger.
“…Did I speak too harshly?”
* * *
After preparing the magic to show to Einrogard’s student, Ianop headed to the port with the mercenaries.
The mercenaries asked cautiously.
“Mr. Wizard. “Shouldn’t we hurry?”
“The hunt for the Sea Serpent doesn’t end that quickly.”
Battles with large monsters with persistent vitality were usually battles of endurance.
It would be sufficient to go later than now.
‘If you just show me this magic…’
What Ianop had prepared was an incredibly beautiful weakening spell.
It could easily have been misunderstood as black magic, but it was definitely not. It was an enchantment that, once cast, inhabits the opponent’s body and reverses their regenerative power.
It would be even more effective against opponents like Sea Serpent.
“Yes, wizard. “There is a fire in the port…”
“?”
“The harbor is bright!”
“!”
Ianop was surprised to see the splendid appearance of the port.
Like broad daylight, the spheres of light were densely packed together and were driving out the darkness.
‘No matter how much of a wizard you are from Einrogard, why waste it like this? ‘This is ridiculous!’
Ianop wondered if he had created a new magic in Einrogard.
No matter how little light there is, there is no need to waste magical power by summoning spheres of light one by one before the hunt for the Sea Serpent.
“Hey. great.”
“As expected, wizards…”
The mercenaries spoke in a flattering manner, but Ianop was so confused that he couldn’t even hear them.
No matter how much I looked at it, I couldn’t even guess what was the structure of that magic.
Ianop felt a deep sense of humiliation, just as he had felt a long time ago.
Even a simple magic like that can’t read the structure.
‘I just don’t know…! How can you do that all at once…’
“…Mr. Wizard. “Wizard!”
While Ianop was distracted, the mercenaries urgently called for the wizard.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Hunting…”
“Starting soon?”
“They say it’s over?”
“…what?”
Ianop took his gaze away from the orb of light and turned his head.
Surprisingly, the body of Mr. Serpent was lying on the dock side of the harbor below.
Even at a glance, you could tell that intense magic had been exchanged.
The remaining ice and the uniquely cut corpse of the Sea Serpent.
What kind of magic…
“It’s over!?”
“Yes, yes…”
The mercenaries, frightened by the wizard’s unusual appearance, hurriedly brought in a nearby sailor.
“You said you definitely saw it, right?”
“How many times do I say it? “I saw it at the bottom!”
“i get it. I understand, so say it well. “Because he is a very great person.”
“What… a wizard from Einrogard?”
The sailor who was summoned by the mercenaries saw Ianop in the carriage and asked curiously.
The only great person in this city dressed like that was the wizard of Einrogard.
“I said it’s not your place to ask about your identity. Do you want to give away your silver again?”
The mercenary spoke with a hint of annoyance, but the sailor who rolled around on the rough sea was not an easy task. He spoke again in disgust.
“That damn thing… I called someone in a hurry and came here and found out…”
Instead of answering, Ianop flicked another silver coin.
Then the sailor’s irritated attitude suddenly changed to a friendly one.
“What are you so curious about?”
“Who cast that light spell? Do you remember which professor it is? Did you use any special reagents or scrolls when casting?”
“A student casted it. And uh… reagents or scrolls? “If it’s something like that scroll, you didn’t use it.”
“…!!!!!”
Ianop was so shocked that he groaned involuntarily.
There was only one student.
“Are you a student of the Wardanaz family?”
“Oh, that’s right! That was the name.”
“Do not lie!”
“It’s not a lie! “You can call anyone else and they will understand.”
The sailor’s attitude was so confident that Ianop instinctively felt that there was nothing false in those words.
‘That all at once? ‘How at once?’
Actually, he didn’t cast it all at once, but Ianop inadvertently thought that way.
“What did you catch? “How did you catch it?”
Ianop was shocked and asked if the mercenaries were curious.
“One of them shot the enchanted arrows and caught him.”
“Did the Einroguard wizards cast that?”
“no. “It was also done by a student wizard from the Wardanaz family.”
“……”
Even the mercenaries who were unfamiliar with magic started talking less, probably because they were surprised.
I could roughly understand why Ianop was shocked.
“What about the other one?”
“The Einroguard wizards caught it themselves.”
“It looks like the student I mentioned earlier didn’t wear it this time.”
“no. “I heard you participated and fought together?”
“……”
“…Aren’t they twins?”
“Trilets… no, quintuplets…”
Only the whispering of mercenaries spread quietly through the port streets in the middle of the night.
