Episode 538
“Music magic?”
Professor Boladi looked at Lee Han and asked.
His face was expressionless, but surprisingly, I could feel a gentle shock inside.
It was as if he was saying, ‘You’re learning such trash magic. What did I do wrong to rebel like this?’
A similar thing happened at the Blue Dragon Tower.
-Gainando! What… is that blood! Are you saying that we banned card games from using evil secrets…?
Of course, the thing that got all over Gainando’s clothes was not blood, but jam, but in any case, the emotions shown by his friends and Professor Boladi were similar.
“professor. “I can explain.”
Lee Han spoke as quickly as possible.
Just as Gainando prevented himself from being taken to the punishment cell by explaining that it was jam, not blood, Lee Han had to explain as quickly as possible to prevent himself from being attacked by Professor Boladi.
“Music magic won’t help much.”
“…That was actually a blind spot!”
Lee Han described the events of today in as much detail as possible and exaggerated them.
Lee Han was overcome with a sense of desperation that he might be attacked if he could not properly convince him of the benefits of music magic.
Ipadur looked at Ihan with moved eyes at the lengthy explanation.
‘I can’t believe you’re so interested in the magic of music…’
The Wardanaz family was known to have little interest in arts such as music, but this boy was definitely different.
Ipadur pledged to do his best to help the boy from the Wardanaz family pursue his passion for music.
Other famous musicians and bards in the empire would also be interested and help if they heard that the boy from the Wardanaz family was so passionate about music.
“…That’s why it was like that!”
“Right.”
Professor Boladi nodded as if he understood.
‘Are you done?’
“Then can’t I just learn the commands?”
‘That’s too bad.’
Lee Han blamed himself for being so arrogant that he thought it was over.
The remnants of arrogance that should not have been present in Einrogard still remained in his heart.
“The principal said that magic takes this long.”
Lee Han spread one finger. Professor Boladi said without surprise.
“Of course, if you dig the magic properly, it can take close to a thousand years.”
“……”
Lee Han was astonished at the increase in number of zeros.
The skeleton principal was subtly trying to deceive Lee Han.
“But if we could put magic into words, the story would be different. “It is not a proper verbal magic, but a simplified form specialized for combat…”
“That’s why I decided to learn music magic!”
Lee Han felt a sense of crisis and interrupted Professor Boladi.
“I was trying to overcome the limitations of magic in my own way with music magic!”
“hmm.”
Professor Boladi was speechless.
Lee Han was extremely nervous because he couldn’t tell what the other person was thinking. The baby basilisk in his sleeve hissed.
‘Be patient. You lose.’
Unfortunately, even if the baby basilisk attacked Professor Boladi, it didn’t look like it would win.
I think it would be difficult even if I became an adult…
“I still think that magic is a better choice, but I won’t stop you from trying.”
In Professor Boladi’s opinion, a good teacher is someone who supports what the student wants as much as possible.
Although he was still skeptical about music magic, he had no intention of stopping his student if he wanted to try it.
Couldn’t there be a new magic that the professor himself doesn’t know about?
“thank you. professor. “I will do my best to repay your trust.”
“i get it. “Did you have a good rest outside?”
“yes. Enjoyed.”
An ordinary student would have ended it here, but Lee Han, a professional student, added one more word.
“But in the meantime, I was anxious because I remembered the magic I needed to practice.”
Ipadur was impressed again without knowing Lee Han’s true feelings.
There is such a sincere genius in the world!
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
“hmm.”
“…?”
As Professor Boladi briefly checked the time, Lee Han felt ominous.
When I thought about it, Professor Boladi was not an ordinary professor, but a professional professor.
“I have some time left until bedtime, so I’ll help you practice.”
“……”
Lee Han bit his lip as he looked down on the professional professor.
“But I had dinner with Ipadur…”
“no no. it’s okay. Wardanaz student. Don’t worry about this old man, focus on your magic. He really appreciated his help today.”
‘Are all bards bastards?’
Lee Han seemed to understand why the Wardanaz family did not show much interest in music.

Professor Boladi was interested in all the schools of magic that Lee Han studied, but what he was most focused on recently was changing the form of the lightning element.
The lightning element was a very unique element among elements.
Even its uncontrollable destructive power and irregular form.
But, to put it conversely, if the lightning element could be controlled as easily as the water element…
“It gives you an advantage in battle.”
As Professor Voladi twirled the lightning spear, the baby basilisk let out a crying sound.
It was clear that he had no confidence in defeating that wizard.
“By the way, Professor. Is there a need to use the lightning element in normal person-to-person combat?”
Even the water element, which is currently evaluated as having relatively low destructive power, could be used destructively if applied well.
Just looking at Yumidihus, he can do all sorts of things with water elemental magic, from steam explosions to body fluid control.
“That’s a good question. Lightning magic using shape change is usually useful when dealing with powerful wizards.”
Professor Boladi explained calmly.
Among wizards, those skilled in defensive magic were able to block all of Lee Han’s water elemental magic and other projectile magic.
In such cases, the strategy that worked surprisingly well was this type of close combat.
In addition, the lightning element was not a common magic, so it was even more difficult to prepare for.
‘…Usually he’s a wizard several levels higher than me who can block all of that, so should I deal with him?’
At that point, shouldn’t the professors have to deal with it?
Lee Han had such doubts, but he endured them quietly.
“Take it.”
The professor held out a heavy silver ingot.
Lee Han was surprised by the unexpected gift and shouted.
“thank you!! “I will use it sparingly!”
“…?”
Professor Boladi looked at Lee Han, wondering what he was talking about.
Lee Han was embarrassed, wondering if he had guessed something wrong.
“I need to use it to change shape, but I don’t think there’s any need to save it.”
“ah.”
Lee Han understood what the professor meant and became embarrassed.
It was truly difficult to capture the pure form of lightning without anything.
Lightning must be tamed with only the wizard’s will.
However, pure silver has a hard form and is a material that is relatively familiar with lightning.
Getting used to changing the shape of the silver in which lightning was embedded also helped change the shape of the lightning itself.
“thank you. “But where did you get this silver?”
“In the principal’s room.”
“……”
Lee Han did not ask whether he borrowed or stole. It wasn’t anything good to hear.
* * *
Let’s go!
‘pain!’
That’s what Lee Han thought when he saw the lightning flashing to the floor.
It wasn’t because the magic failed.
The magic practice itself was going well.
However, every time there is a failure, the silver evaporates little by little.
Kwasik!
When the silver, which had been transformed into the shape of a spear, could not withstand the force of the lightning and was twisted, cracked, and lost its shape, the lightning flew in all directions and the silver was also distorted.
The power of the condensed lightning is so strong that if you make even the slightest mistake, even hard metal will not be able to withstand it and will change at will.
In the process, it may evaporate…
As Lee Han was visibly distressed, Professor Boladi spoke to him.
“I’m doing well now. Because it maintains its shape change.”
“thank you.”
Lee Han woke up with a bitter expression.
When I thought about how much silver it would take to complete this spell, I felt like my heart was already breaking.
As the sky slowly darkened and it was time to go in, Professor Boladi checked his pocket watch and said.
“really. “Can the lecture start a little early tomorrow?”
“To what extent?”
“About two hours.”
“……”
I had a lecture scheduled for 9 a.m. on Monday, but starting it two hours early was definitely not ‘a little’.
But Lee Han was a professional student.
‘Let’s assume it ends two hours early.’
“haha. Of course it’s possible. But for what reason? “Do you have anything to prepare?”
“no. “Because I have to meet giants.”
“……”
* * *
-Human wizard! A human wizard!
-Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!
Early moning.
As the end of the second semester approached, it was getting colder every day.
If you don’t cast a spell on your coat, the cold will seep into your bones.
Lee Han exhaled and greeted the giants.
“Nice to meet you. everyone.”
-I want to see magic. Magic!
“yes?”
Lee Han wondered what kind of magic he should use.
In order to satisfy the giants, wouldn’t it be acceptable to fire a shot of sub-octane at Professor Boladi?
-That’s it. that!
The giant took a thick wooden bowl and pounded it with a spoon.
“…It was about cooking.”
The smartest giant, Ikurusha, came out, pushing away the giants who had gathered with excited faces.
-Nice to meet you all. Professor Bagrek. How have you been?
“How have you been? “Thank you.”
-Professors will all be busy as final exams are coming up soon. Do you have time to come like this?
“It’s okay.”
“……”
Lee Han unconsciously tried to say, ‘Professor, I’m the only student you have, right?’ but he came to his senses and held back.
Because it was crazy to gossip about a professor in front of others.
“I want to get closer to the giants as I have exams coming up soon. “I want to help you with work.”
-as you please. Actually, when I originally heard the professor’s words, I wondered what he was talking about.
Ikurusha recalled the first time he heard Professor Boladi’s crazy plan, ‘Test new students by borrowing the power of giants.’
At the time, no matter how much I thought about it, it seemed a bit crazy, so I insisted, ‘Wouldn’t it be better to take the test after getting acquainted with the giant?’
This was because there was nothing good to be gained from fighting a young wizard and a giant.
In the future, an archmage with a title like <Giant Slayer> might appear…
It was difficult for an outsider, especially a wizard, to become friends with giants in a short period of time, so if the boy couldn’t become friends, he planned to use that as an excuse to persuade the professor again.
However, the boy from the Wardanaz family became closer to the giants faster than expected.
He helped take care of the sheep, studied cooking, and succeeded in winning the favor of the giants.
In fact, the giants called Ikurusha and asked him about it.
-When is that wizard coming?
-I do not know either.
-Go down and ask.
-I asked and they said they didn’t know.
-Then go down again! Go down again!
It was not easy for the giants to show favor in such a short period of time, but it was truly surprising.
Now that things had come to this, Ikurusha had no choice but to acknowledge Professor Boladi’s plan.
If we had become that close, we were qualified to compete with giants.
-I can’t believe we’ve become that close…
“It’s natural.”
Ikurusha nodded as he watched Lee Han being rinsed by the giants along with Professor Boladi.
Lee Han was being cheered by the giants without even knowing that he had dug his own grave.
-Long live the wizard! Long live the wizard!
-Our friend!
“haha. It’s thanks to you all for looking favorably on me. Thank you always.”
