Episode 504
‘for a moment.’
Lee Han shuddered at the sudden ominous thought that occurred to him.
no way?
“Is this an event for seniors?”
It’s an event for students learning transformation magic, and if none of these friends know…
…Isn’t this an event only for seniors?
Professor Boladi briefly gave Lee Han’s question a look that said he had not even thought about it.
“I guess so.”
“I think you should have checked that first… Did Professor Rji willingly accept it?”
The professor nodded slightly.
‘I guess he didn’t point his sword at me and threaten me?’
Lee Han was slightly suspicious.
Professor Lezy was a bit on the weak side among the professors.
When Professor Boladi pointed his sword at me and threatened me, it wouldn’t have been surprising if he said, ‘Let’s participate!’
“professor. “I have a thought just now, and although Professor Reji readily accepted it, I don’t think my seniors would be displeased.”
Einrogard students had a secretly exclusive side.
Didn’t the White Tiger Tower students just get angry when Lee Han broke into the dormitory?
Just as students show unnecessary pride in each tower they belong to, the same is probably true of the school as well.
And even within the school.
‘I think a first-year junior would be displeased if he kept snooping around.’
The angular stone wasn’t the right fit for no reason.
Unless it is a unique school with no manpower, such as healing magic or black magic, there is no way that a junior would like to come forward.
“Were you worried about that? Okay.”
“ah. “Did your seniors say it was okay?”
“I meant to discipline any student who is displeased.”
“……”
Lee Han took a look at the sword Professor Boladi was wearing.
‘You’re not going to discipline me by stabbing me with a sword, are you?’
“…I’ll just work hard and be noticed by my seniors.”
Professor Boladi patted Lee Han on the shoulder as if he was amazed.
The basilisk made a sound as if it was displeased.
* * *
Ouroboros, a snake biting its own tail, was a beloved entity in alchemy and transformation magic.
Since it symbolizes an eternal cycle, wizards from both schools have no choice but to love it.
Therefore, the event of transformation wizards was also named <Ouroboros Day>.
Wow!
The whip held by one student turned into a snake and wrapped around another student’s wrist.
Even though the snake wrapped around his wrist, the victim did not panic at all. As I calmly recited the spell, the snake’s teeth turned into cotton.
bang!
When the student, whose wrists were tied, hit the floor with his cane, the floor suddenly started shaking and turned into a swamp.
The student who lost his balance missed the snake whip and stumbled. He quickly tried to transform the swamp into solid dirt, but the spell failed and it turned into honey.
“lost.”
“It was a good match.”
The student stood up holding his friend’s hand and looked around at the other transformation wizards gathered in the auditorium.
“Ouroboros Day” may sound grandiose, but the rules are actually simple.
It is a day to show off each person’s achievements using only transformation magic. Events like this were common in other schools as well.
Magic duels using only transformation magic, presentations on new transformation magic research, unique transformation abilities of the empire’s rare monsters, and more.
“Everyone stop playing and come here. “We need to stop outsiders from causing trouble.”
“I don’t like dealing with outsiders, so why not make me a Death Knight…?”
“no. “Hold on.”
The students of Einrogard’s School of Transformation Magic frowned as they saw outsiders moving around the auditorium.
It was natural to invite outside wizards to such events, and it was also natural to treat those wizards as hosts.
But the students really didn’t want to do those obvious things.
It wasn’t that the wizards outside were unpleasant or rude.
It wasn’t because there was a mountain of tasks to do.
just…
I really just didn’t want to do it.
“Wouldn’t the person who loses play rock, paper, scissors?”
“hello!! Einrogard students!!”
“Ugh.”
pop!
A transformation wizard from outside approached, showing off a species transformation spell.
It was a specialty often shown by transformation wizards, and it was a magic that changed one’s species.
The magic itself was nothing special, but for a simple greeting or to start a conversation, there was nothing better.
The transformation wizard was so excited that he transformed from an elf to a human, from a human to a beastman dog, and from a beastman dog to an orc.
Then he looked at the students with expectant eyes. I thought the students would show something by responding.
“……”

“……”
However, the students’ reaction was different from expectations.
Everyone hesitated and avoided eye contact.
“???”
“……”
“……”
“Hey, did I make some mistake?”
“Ah, ah, no!”
“Half… Nice to meet you! nice to meet you!”
“Ah yes.”
The transformation wizard stepped back with an embarrassed expression.
The students looked at each other with faces full of self-destruction.
“You should have answered…! “You were close!”
“No, I was looking at you. “You should have answered!”
Although there were exceptions, basically, wizards who specialized in transformation magic tended to have cheerful and sociable personalities.
Maybe it had something to do with the characteristics of transformation magic.
However, the students majoring in transformation magic at Einrogard were a bit unusual.
These are very…
I was introverted.
“Everyone stop it. ah. He should have learned black magic…”
“I feel a little sick. Give me one more potion.”
“no. “If you drink too much of the confidence potion, you’ll go completely crazy.”
The transformation magic students just prayed that the event would end quickly and the outsiders would leave, so that they could talk about magic among themselves.
“It’s Professor Untitled!”
“what? Professor Untitled?”
The students turned their heads.
A truly crazy professor was bringing in a first-year student.
“What on earth are you thinking?”
“I heard that you have a disciple…”
“Aren’t you following me around and watching me so that I can’t escape?”
“No way… it can happen.”
But that didn’t mean all the questions were answered.
Why on earth did they bring a first-year student to this event?
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like pointless harassment.
“Why did Professor Lezy give permission?”
“I heard you have excellent skills. “I heard from a friend from the Black Magic School that he comes from the Wardanaz family.”
“You’re not believing the rumors about the Wardanaz family, are you? The Wardanaz family is just an ordinary noble family. “This is not a family that teaches secret arts to a five-year-old.”
“It’s not normal…”
While the students were muttering in the corner, Lee Han walked in with Professor Boladi.
Transformation wizards from outside were showing various things (one wizard was receiving applause by transforming his arm into a swarm of bats), Professor Lezy was taking questions in the middle, and the seniors…
‘Can’t you see?’
Lee Han, who was puzzled when he couldn’t see his seniors at all, eventually realized.
“professor. Uh… shouldn’t the principal’s restraint be lifted during the event?”
I knew that Principal Skeleton placed a curse on his seniors that hindered their perception, but sometimes he releases it when necessary.
And now was the time of need.
If a first-year student participates in an event like this and can’t even talk to seniors…
“Why?”
“……”
“ah. Mr. Lee Han.”
Professor Leji looked at Lee Han and gestured. And then he spoke softly.
“I’m sorry. “I couldn’t refuse a favor.”
“You can do that.”
Lee Han understood.
Even if Professor Boladi didn’t threaten you while pointing a sword, he would have threatened you while wearing a sword.
“I am really sorry.”
“…No, it’s really okay.”
When Professor Leji apologized like this, Lee Han was rather embarrassed.
The professor who brought him in was bad, but the professor who gave him permission was not so bad.
“Still, the wizards attending this event are all excellent transformation wizards, so there is a lot to learn from them…”
“let’s go.”
While the two were talking, Professor Boladi, who had disappeared somewhere, suddenly returned.
“Where do you mean?”
“I asked for permission.”
Professor Boladi gestured backwards with his chin.
The transformation wizards who were competing on the makeshift arena were looking over and whispering.
-Aren’t you a first year student?
-You must have seen it wrong.
– Are you really asking me to compete with a first-year student? Isn’t it a bit dangerous?
‘This is shame.’
Lee Han felt embarrassed as the magicians outside looked at him with a mixture of worry and confusion.
Professor Boladi went to him and said, ‘Please compete with my student.’ ‘Please compete with my student.’ ‘Please compete with my student.’ He held and harassed him until he got an answer, and he accepted, but when he actually accepted, he was embarrassed because the opponent was so young. It was clear.
The dwarf wizard, who looked to be in his forties, looked at Lee Han and asked with a shocked look on his face.
“Aren’t you a first year student? “How can I interfere with Einrogard’s teachings? I think it’s a bit early for this kind of confrontation.”
“It’s okay.”
Before Lee Han could answer, Professor Boladi answered.
As Professor Voladi turned and walked towards the audience, the dwarf wizard whispered again.
“Do you want to threaten the professor? No. what can i say “I hope you forget.”
Lee Han tasted bitterly as he watched the dwarf wizard swallow again because it seemed like such a rude remark.
The transformation wizards here were all good people.
So it was even more painful.
* * *
“…here are the rules: let’s begin.”
‘I’ll be amazed.’
Lee Han’s mind was spinning rapidly as he faced the other person.
I’ve had magic duels a few times before, but today’s event was a bit unusual.
A place where only transformation magic can be used.
The problem was that Lee Han’s transformation magic was not very extensive.
Basically, simple conversion of steel, color, and rock-sand.
Attacking an experienced transformation wizard with this was similar to attacking a skeletal headmaster with a fork.
It was clear that Professor Boladi wanted Lee Han to suffer as much as possible.
In fact, there is more to learn from defeat than from victory.
I need to deal with as many different things as possible and learn which transformation magic I need…
Sigh!
“!”
The dwarf wizard suddenly gained wings and took off, swimming through the air.
At the same time, the cloak suddenly spread out like a tent, blocking the view. Lee Han sensed that the dwarf wizard was about to transform into another monster.
‘If you leave it alone, it will end right away!’
Lee Han swung his staff with the intention of taking out the enemy’s cloak first.
Then a sigh arose from the transformation wizards next to him.
“ah!”
“You can’t do that!”
“Uh-huh…!”
“Oh my!”
Since the dwarf wizard had already cast a transformation spell on the cloak first, it was not a good choice for Lee Han to cast a transformation spell on the cloak.
Interfering with an opponent’s magic is several times more difficult.
In this urgent situation…
Pop!
“!?”
The cloak turned into a steel hook and flew towards the dwarf wizard.
The dwarf wizard who was trying to transform into a hippogriff was startled by the steel hook holding his ankle and his magic was shaken. It ended up with an unusual appearance, with only the arms and legs transformed into a hippogriff.
“wow! “I can’t believe it was so successful!”
“great! It’s great!”
‘…It’s a bit annoying, isn’t it?’
Lee Han was starting to get annoyed by the transformation wizards who were admiring in the stands.
At first, I was a little impressed by his concern for Lee Han, but it was secretly annoying that he reacted so loudly to each and every magic.
The dwarf wizard quickly waved his wand to free the steel hook.
But surprisingly, the steel hook did not come loose. The magic bounced out as if it were ore with extremely strong magical power.
In a situation that even experienced transformation wizards had no experience with, the dwarf wizard was embarrassed and failed to land.
Originally, he could have subdued Lee Han by casting magic even while tied to a steel hook, but the dwarf wizard neatly admitted defeat.
In a duel, if a loophole was revealed to this extent, it would be the same as losing.
“I lost, I lost! That’s amazing! How did you convert this? “Is this Einrogard’s secret art?”
While Lee Han was wondering how to explain so that the other person would be less disappointed, Professor Boladi hid his disappointment and started talking to the other transformation wizards.
