Episode 050
Fortunately, Lee Han did not have to bear the title of ‘professor killer’.
Professor Mortum woke up immediately.
“…Kollock. Everyone saw it, right? “This is a lesser paralysis curse.”
In fact, Professor Mortum was still stiff.
As soon as he fell, he quickly activated his magic power to drive away the curse, but since the amount was quite large, the effects still remained.
If other black magic students studying under Professor Mortum had seen this situation, they might have fainted.
No matter how careless he was, a first-year student defeated Professor Mortum with a minor paralyzing curse…
“……”
Professor Garcia knew the truth and was looking at Professor Mortum with bewildered eyes.
Professor Mortum averted his gaze, pretending not to see.
“Fortunately, the. professor.”
Lee Han said in a relieved voice.
At first, I was really surprised, but it turned out that Professor Mortum was deliberately trying to show the effects of the Lesser Paralysis Curse.
It was somehow strange!
“…You have a talent for curses.”
“Is that so? thank you.”
“…You have a talent for curses.”
“thank you?”
It wasn’t a good sign when the professor spoke twice.
Lee Han keenly noticed the signs.
‘What are we going to do now?’
Either he was really talented, or Lee Han had somehow offended the professor.
Considering the professor’s twisted mind, the latter was more likely.
‘Was the curse worse than I thought? He seems like a professor with no conscience. If the first curse I use is perfect, will I be a first year?’
“As you just saw, curse magic is a general-purpose magic that everyone knows at least one or two things, even if they don’t specialize in black magic.”
Professor Garcia stepped in to brighten the mood.
“Lesser curse magic is not difficult to learn, and more than anything, once you learn it, it becomes easier to deal with other curse magic. “Just because you don’t learn curse magic doesn’t mean others won’t use it.”
Black magic had many offensive spells that could be learned quickly.
It was easy to understand if you compared it with fire attribute magic.
To attack someone with fire magic, you needed to create a flame and then have the ability to control the flame and send it in another direction.
In contrast, the curse of black magic was completed by concentrating and casting the curse. Everyone has experienced numb legs or body pain.
As such, low-circle mercenary wizards who did not formally learn magic often learned one or two curses of black magic.
The best way to deal with any magic is to learn that magic.
It was good to have some understanding of black magic as I didn’t know what I would experience later.
That was why Professor Garcia called Professor Mortum.
I’m not necessarily saying you have to learn black magic…!
“ruler. “With this explanation… shall we each pair up?”
* * *
Contrary to the initially sour atmosphere, the students showed more interest in the curse than expected.
Everyone was still young.
Even though I had heard a lot of bad stories about black magic, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by the fact that it was an easy-to-learn attack magic.
Moreover, Professor Garcia’s logic of ‘you need to learn a few curses to protect yourself’ was quite plausible.
“Are you swinging it like this?”
“I guess that’s right?”
“I heard that this paralyzing curse is not the only curse. “I heard that there is a curse that darkens one’s vision, a curse that hinders breathing, and a curse that destroys one’s sense of balance.”
“Hey… ah. Are you trying to learn black magic?”
“no.”
Of course, just because everyone was interested in curses, I wasn’t young enough to set out to learn black magic as a specialist.
That was that and this was this.
“I will leave it up to you.”
“I will leave it up to you.”
Lee Han’s practice partner was Gainando.
The two gave each other a noble greeting and then raised their wands.
The rules were simple.
One side attacks first.
Then the other side attacks.
The goal was to let people experience not only using curses but also getting hit.
Kainan Island’s first strike.
“Hmph!”
Gainando began to concentrate magical power and convert it into sonic properties.
‘oh.’
Lee Han was surprised.
Gainando was converting magical power faster than expected.
‘Could it be that you have a talent for black magic?’
It could have been a coincidence, but considering Gai Nando’s performance in other elements, it was more likely that he was talented.
It has a hard time with light, fire, and water, but it can convert sound properties so quickly.
‘Or maybe it’s just so easy that you can do everything.’

Lee Han thought so.
When I think about it, I converted Ihando quickly and I converted Gainando quickly…
I just didn’t know that converting sound properties was particularly easy.
“no. “That student…”
Professor Mortum spoke in a whisper to Professor Garcia with a surprised expression.
I thought I was surprised enough by the boy from the Wardanaz family, but I found a young warlock who was not as talented, but was sufficiently talented.
Even if he wasn’t as good as the boy from the Wardanaz family, he was a talent worth seeing once in a decade.
“You are talking about a Kainando student. “You definitely have a talent for black magic.”
“Do you think so too?”
“yes. “Please actively recommend it.”
Professor Garcia did not stop him. He rather encouraged it. It was a completely different look from earlier, when I was worried that Lee Han would specialize in black magic.
The reason was simple.
Lee Han was good at all areas of magic. Innate magical power, excellent perception, flexible and broad thinking, and sincere attitude.
In Professor Garcia’s opinion, a student like that had no choice but to succeed in any field.
However, Gaynando did not seem to have any particular talent in any field.
So, if you found a field that suits your aptitude, it was right to learn it.
In some ways, isn’t it a blessing to be suited to black magic like this?
“Be paralyzed!”
While the two were talking, Gainando chanted a spell. Although the ending was a little different, the curse was successfully cast. Professor Mortum nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
‘You have talent.’
Shhh!
‘ah. Is this why I asked you to experience the curse?’
Lee Han was able to understand what Professor Garcia said while feeling the curse flying towards him.
Why are curse spells easy to learn?
And why is it a good idea to learn how to deal with curse magic?
‘Curse magic… has a simple and lax structure.’
Thanks to being so sick of Professor Boladi, Lee Han immediately realized what the weakness of curse magic was.
To put it in a metaphor, curse magic was closer to throwing a net or casting net.
Just use magic to weave a net called a curse and throw it in.
If the opponent is hit, the curse wraps around like a net.
It had the advantage of being able to be cast quickly and easily without the need for aiming, but conversely, the magic itself was inevitably weakened.
Shoot another spell at the flying curse, swing your sword, block it with a shield, prepare a defensive spell…
This was the only way Lee Han could think of right now, so there must be many more ways to deal with him.
It is a magic that is easy to block if you know in advance that the opponent is casting a curse.
That was clearly why he asked me to learn curses.
If you learn curse magic a few times, you will quickly get used to seeing other curse magic that you have never seen before.
‘No, but I’m a little angry that I found out about this thanks to Professor Boladi.’
If the curse magic was a net, Professor Boladi’s magic was closer to the stab of an excellent swordsman.
Not only is it difficult to block or avoid, but even if you block it, it is a morale skill that continues straight to the next attack without stopping.
As I was dealing with these attacks with my own body, I naturally had no choice but to quickly understand these structures.
If you don’t understand, you’re right!
Faaah!
While he was thinking, a curse struck Lee Han’s body. Gainando was overjoyed when the curse was successfully cast.
“succeded!”
“Congratulations.”
“…Uh, but where are you paralyzed?”
“I know?”
Lee Han looked puzzled and looked up and down his body.
I didn’t feel any particular paralysis.
what?
“Didn’t I fail?”
“is it?”
“I’ll try again.”
Gainando thought he had failed, so he raised his wand and prepared the spell again.
“Be paralyzed!”
Faaah!
Just like before, the same curse flew and hit Lee Han’s body.
Of course, just like before, there was no change.
Lee Han and Guy Nando put their heads together and began to think.
“Maybe there was a problem with the movement?”
“well. I think the magic came out just right. Is it because I memorized the spell strangely? ‘Be paralyzed’ is a bit polite. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to cast a curse like that.”
“Is that so? Should we say, ‘Be paralyzed, you bastard’?”
“…I think just being paralyzed would be enough.”
Professor Garcia, who was listening to the two freshmen’s unanswered conversation, sighed and approached.
“It’s not that the curse failed, it’s that this student had too much magic power so it wasn’t effective. Kainando student. “The student did well.”
“!”
Gaynando was surprised.
“what. Was it something like that? But it still doesn’t work at all… Maybe I’m not good at black magic.”
“Is there a need to make a conclusion already?”
“no. I had no interest in black magic anyway. “There’s nothing you can do about it even if you don’t have talent.”
Guynando said coolly.
I really had no interest in black magic.
A more sophisticated and cool magic would be better, so why use black magic?
“Then I’ll give it a try.”
“okay. “Get ready.”
Lee Han recalled the memory of the professor collapsing earlier.
Of course, the professor fell on purpose, but even now that I think about it, it was like a nightmare.
‘I need to control my strength. There is no need to gather a lot of magic power.’
Lee Han planned to cast it right away after collecting the minimum amount.
“paralysis!”
“!”
Professor Mortum, who was watching, was surprised.
Cutting and shortening orders.
When it comes to magic, spells are more important than you might think.
Human words contained powerful power and had a great influence on the wizard’s mind.
As such, it was not easy to arbitrarily reduce or cut orders.
No matter how easy the curse spell is, the spell has already been cut and shortened.
“Ugh!”
Gainando shouted and threw himself to the side. The other students next to him looked at Gai Nando in surprise.
Lee Han asked as if it were absurd.
“…What are you doing?”
“Oh, no. In a instinct…”
“!”
Professor Mortum was startled again.
Sensing ability to sensitively sense the negative magic power contained in a curse and react instinctively.
That was an outstanding talent in black magic.
…Of course, there was no need to avoid it like that.
* * *
The lecture ended happily.
The students were able to have a great time shooting curses at each other.
Professor Garcia made the students feel more happy by being kind and not giving away homework.
“ruler. “Did everyone enjoy today’s lecture?”
“yes. professor!”
“Applause for Professor Mortum!”
Clap clap clap clap-
“I guess everyone is interested in black magic, right?”
“……”
‘I asked for no reason.’
Professor Garcia regretted it.
The atmosphere got weird when I asked a question that should have just been interrupted by applause.
“Professor Mortum. “Please say something.”
“Cough. Everyone… I think you know a lot about the charms of black magic. “I see there are already some students here who are interested in black magic.”
“?”
“?”
The students tilted their heads.
‘Are you interested?’
‘no. you?’
‘Of course not.’
“ha ha ha. “Who would seriously want to learn black magic?”
Gainando laughed and said as if it was ridiculous.
