Episode 527
At first, I thought I had mistaken it because of magical power, a common mistake made by the Skeleton Headmaster’s minions.
However, the meaning of Professor Passelette’s words felt a little different.
It wasn’t a misunderstanding of magical power, it felt like I was seeing a different truth.
Priest Tigiling asked with curiosity in his voice.
“Are you perhaps lost?”
Of course, what Priest Tigiling said about being ‘lost’ did not mean reality.
As it is one of the most difficult and eccentric types of magic, precognitive wizards often suffer from various side effects.
One of them was the phenomenon of trying to predict too deeply, forgetting the concepts of past, present, and future, and getting lost in fate.
This is now expressed by prescient wizards as ‘losing their way’.
“A great precognitive magician like the professor is enough…”
It was a side effect, and losing one’s way was not something that just anyone could experience. In some ways, it was close to the highest state.
Ordinary precognitive wizards just vomited blood or lost their lives; they could not swim between the past, present, and future.
How difficult is it to predict tomorrow’s events right now?
Therefore, it was not surprising that Priest Tigiling looked at Professor Passelette with a mixture of surprise and respect.
A level I don’t know if I can reach even if I practice foresight magic all my life.
Someday, even the Tigiling priests would like to reach that kind of truth…
“no. “You’re just crazy.”
Lee Han firmly denied it.
“……”
Priest Tigiling, who was always kind and gentle, asked with a rare expression of uncertainty.
“Is there any reason for you to think that way?”
“The original professors were crazy.”
“……”
The Tigiling priest looked at Lee Han with an even more indifferent expression.
If Guynando or Angago had looked at him like that, he would have hit him with a cane, but when someone like Priest Tigiling looked at him like that, Leehan felt pressured to add more reasons.
“Actually, a Tigiling priest. “I know my future.”
“Is that… really?”
The Tigiling priest raised his voice as if he was surprised. The corners of his eyes were shaking as if he was really surprised.
It was rare for people to know their future. No, there was just no such person.
How can a mortal know his future in advance?
However, the Tijeeling priest knew that the boy in front of him was from the Wardanaz family.
There were many mysteries in the empire that the priest himself did not know about.
Even if the Wardanaz family had such knowledge…
‘Did you receive a prophecy or something? But how? ‘In what way?’
“okay.”
Lee Han lowered his voice so that only the Tigiling priest could hear.
Priest Tigiling concentrated on that serious attitude without even realizing it.
What kind of future is this?
“After graduation, you will increase your assets dozens of times with your connections and excellent business sense, and then make a living as an emerging businessman of the empire, making a living for the rest of your life.”
“……”
The Tigiling priest lost his composure and glared at Lee Han.
Although I still had a lot to learn about precognitive magic, I could at least instinctively feel that the future the boy in front of me was talking about was wrong.
Fortunately, Professor Passelette soon woke up.
Professor Passelette looked at the two students with a pained expression, as if he had woken up after drinking about ten bottles of cheap liquor the day before.
“…I really didn’t attack you two…?”
“no.”
“You just said yes.”
“You didn’t even have a look. “You just said something strange.”
“……”
Priest Tigiling was about to say something when he saw Lee Han desperately denying it.
Professor Passelette said with a sigh of relief.
“thank god. thank god. “I wish I had attacked you guys… Lately, I’ve been preparing for great magic, so it’s often a bit dangerous.”
“Great magic?”
Lee Han asked, hiding his caution.
Whether it was a professor or a senior, preparing for magic within Einroguard was not good for first-year students.
The moment you make a mistake, you all have to bear the damage together.
“okay. I need to find out the location of next year’s new students. “Even though the principal is carrying out the work, it doesn’t mean that it won’t put pressure on me.”
“…!”
Lee Han realized what he was saying and was shocked.
‘Even such a thing is possible with foresight magic??’
When I thought about it, there was no way they wouldn’t use magical power to bring in new students from all over the empire.
And of course, finding the locations of these new students involved precognitive magic.
Nevertheless, there was one reason that Lee Han had never thought about.
The scale of the magic was so great that it was absurd.
‘No matter how much power accumulated in Einrogard is used, it is impossible to predict the position of a qualified person throughout the empire…’
The Tijeeling priest must have been as shocked as Lee Han, with his eyes wide open and saying nothing.
That’s how shocking the skeleton principal’s magic was.

“I think the rebound will be too severe…”
As the Tigiling priest spoke hesitantly, Professor Passelette grinned and looked at the demon hybrid priest with wonder.
“There’s nothing to worry about because the principal and his prisoners will handle most of the reaction.”
‘I think there was something strange just now.’
“Anyway, I just said something really strange? “I think I fell into it pretty deep…”
Professor Passelette trailed off, looking slightly puzzled.
Normally, when I was deeply immersed in wisdom like this, I would talk nonsense and still manage to say a few useful words.
But there was nothing like that.
“There was none.”
“……”
Although Tigiling was strangely silent, Professor Passelette decided to move on without asking any more questions.
“okay. It’s a shame. “Sometimes I come across something useful.”
The regretful professor looked around and waved the opaque gray fog surrounding the trees of the forest away with his wand.
“It’s happened again.”
“Isn’t it just fog?”
“It’s more of a residue than a fog. Since we are carrying out magic on such a large scale, things like that keep happening. “If you come in contact with it, you may hallucinate, so be careful.”
“……”
Lee Han was slightly moved to see the professor saying that.
“Hmm…”
Professor Passelette, not knowing what the student was thinking, looked at the two, lost in thought.
As the worries continued, Lee Han, who was in front of him, felt slightly ominous.
Basically, it was rare for professors to think long and hard about their students.
“I. professor. “For our shift, we have to collect rock plantains, but this is taking longer than expected…”
“You said earlier that you would use magic, right?”
“It did. But now that I think about it, I think it’s too much of a waste of magical power.”
“??”
However, Professor Passelette, who was not listening no matter what Lee Han said, made up his mind on his own and opened his mouth again.
“okay. It must have been fate that we met like this, so I should take this opportunity to show it to you. You both follow me. “It will be as interesting as learning the magic of foresight.”
“……”
Professor Passelette was originally a professor who did not care much about his students and had a laissez-faire attitude, telling people to learn at their own pace.
However, the two disciples in front of me were a bit special among the disciples.
Tijeeling’s qualities were outstanding enough to attract attention even among precognitive wizards, and Wardanaz was just…
‘They’ll like it if I show them this.’
Professor Passelette’s other personalities very much agreed.
-Very well thought out! Like I said last time, a genius shouldn’t be boring!
-I think so too…
Of course, Lee Han was deeply frustrated.
‘From the moment I saw the professor after the sun set, I thought it was ominous.’
I should have turned around and run away right then, but looking at it out of curiosity was a big mistake.
To make a mistake like this, I still have a long way to go as an Einrogard student.
“Do you know what the professor is trying to show you?”
When Lee Han became so frustrated, Priest Tigiling tilted his head and asked.
As a Tigiling priest, he could not have guessed anything.
“no. “I don’t know either.”
“……”
Then why are you frustrated…?
Great magic that could affect the entire empire was not something that even the skeleton headmaster could use at will.
Einrogard’s magic is as old as the Skeleton Headmaster.
A terrain with one of the most magical veins in the empire.
In addition, there are now excellent wizards and various minions who will help the skeleton headmaster, high traitors who will vomit blood and die in his place, and so on.
As this process was going on, unusual phenomena that were not normally seen were occurring throughout Einrogard.
Professor Passelette waved his cane again.
Then, the fog I had seen earlier dispersed once again, and the path in the forest was clearly revealed.
“this. Today is a bit harsh. “You’d better just follow me.”
“…?”
Lee Han and Priest Tigiling didn’t know what was going on, but they quickly understood what it meant.
The road that had just been created disappeared in an instant and was filled with dense trees.
Professor Passelette walked freely among the trees, unable to tell where they were, as if there were signposts.
He was breaking through this natural labyrinth with the power of precognitive magic.
Pajik!
One of the stones on the bracelet Professor Passelette was wearing broke.
Lee Han immediately pulled out his staff.
“What enemy?”
“No, no. It’s not the enemy, it’s bad luck. It prevented bad luck from befalling me. This is an amulet. “You guys will also learn how to make it this time.”
Precognitive wizards learned not only to predict, but also to control the future.
Controlling it may sound grandiose. In fact, rather than controlling it, it was closer to a struggle to slightly change the direction of a huge stream of water.
But even that little bit of precognition was a desperate task for wizards. This was because predicting the future was that dangerous.
One of those measures was this kind of exorcism.
“When it senses bad luck, it breaks like this, even though it doesn’t seem to be of much use…”
“I really want it!”
Professor Passelette was slightly embarrassed when his student, who usually did not show material greed, shouted with sincerity.
“Yeah, yeah. You will learn it soon. At this point… okay. “It was properly pooled.”
Professor Passelette looked around and finally found what he was looking for.
It was Sam.
However, instead of clear water like usual, it was a gray, murky spring like the fog I saw earlier, and it was a shimmering spring.
“Do you all know what this is?”
“Is it a poisonous spring?”
Professor Passelette, who thought Lee Han was joking, burst into laughter.
‘It’s not a joke.’
“no. It’s like the residue that came out during this great magic trick. Normally, it would just cause hallucinations, but in a situation where the concentration is so high, if there were a wizard who could control it…”
Professor Passelette waved his wand and chanted a spell.
The air around me became quieter and quieter, and the noise disappeared. There was no sound of insects or birds that are commonly heard in the forest.
“In a limited way, it can be a tool to sharpen your foresight.”
The professor threw the gourd at Lee Han.
“Try it once. “It will be a fun experience.”
While Lee Han carefully approached the spring with the gourd, the Tigiling priest asked a question.
“So this spring… strengthens your precognitive power?”
“okay. “Isn’t it fun?”
“I was really surprised. How effective is it?”
“If it’s short, it’s 3 seconds, if it’s long, it’s about 10 seconds?”
That alone was an incredibly great thing.
Foresight was an ability that could not be easily touched by magic.
gulp-
As Lee Han drank the spring water, Professor Passelette asked with anticipation in his voice.
“how is it. For a moment, you felt omniscient, like you could guess anything, right?”
“…?”
Lee Han hesitated.
Even though the time the professor mentioned had passed, the feeling I had just mentioned did not disappear.
