Episode 724
“Seniors. Seniors.”
“huh?”
Meanwhile, the senior who was preparing his work raised his head at Lee Han’s call.
“Something seems strange. I am a 2nd year student, and this is a 3rd year course.”
“what? “Did the professor force you into the lecture?!”
The senior asked in surprise.
Although Lee Han did not completely understand the meaning of the question, he denied it for now.
“That’s not it. I chose it. With the help of Calendarium… Wait. “Why did you ask whether the lecture was forced?”
“ah. don’t mind. “It’s a rumor I heard a long time ago, so I asked just in case.”
The senior waved his hand as if to say not to worry.
It was one of the legendary rumors about Einrogard that I heard when I entered school.
If a student’s skills are too good, from then on, the student no longer chooses the lecture, but the lecture comes to the student!
When my senior and his friends heard the rumor, they worried, ‘What if I’m so good that the professor forces me to invite him?’ But that didn’t happen.
The Einrogard professors were colder than expected.
“……”
Not noticing Lee Han’s expression hardening, the senior continued to explain.
“If I had gotten help from Calendarium, wouldn’t that course have been the best fit?”
“But I’m a second year student, and this is a third year course, right?”
“It’s strange. But sometimes, excellent people take classes one year higher than theirs. “Senior Yukveltire also did that once.”
“Is that so…”
When his senior’s reaction seemed more moderate than expected, Lee Han wondered if he had overreacted.
“So, there’s nothing particularly strange about this <Extremely Beautiful Creatures> lecture, <Elemental Magic and Its Connections>, or <Poison, Bone, Blood>?”
When Lee Han took out the names of the lectures on the lecture schedule and asked about them, the senior paused.
There were too many lectures for third-year students.
…Don’t usually outstanding geniuses take only one class in a specialized field from a grade above them?
“Don’t you usually only listen to one? It’s a bit much, but…”
Another senior who was sharpening equipment on a whetstone next to me joined in.
“That’s him.”
“ah. Right. Me indeed. “Even though I’m in third grade, I still have these stereotypes.”
“……”
Lee Han repeated to himself that he should not attack his seniors and asked again.
“It’s strange, right?”
There were even lectures left that Lee Han didn’t just ask about.
No matter how much I thought about it, the names of these lectures seemed closer to third year than second year.
“It’s strange, but I think you can do it. cheer up. Calendarium must have taken care of it.”
“A wizard is the master of an artifact, not its slave. What if you change the lecture right now? “What if we include a lower level lecture?”
“ah. That’s not allowed.”
The senior who was changing the equipment next to me answered for me.
“I tried to take a second-year class this year, but the professor kicked me.”
“……”
Although the professors at Einrogard seemed indifferent, they were thorough in some areas.
Students should take lectures that are appropriate for their level, and should not be allowed to deliberately take easy lectures.
‘There is no freedom at all!’
Lee Han was once again indignant at Einrogard’s trick.
There is no freedom at all in the subject of freely learning magic.
While Lee Han was angry, his seniors asked questions. Just as Lee Han was curious, his seniors also had a lot of questions.
“Wardanaz. “I have a question…”
“ah. yes. “Ask.”
“Why were you with Professor Verdus?”
“…?”
Lee Han was taken aback by such a strange question.
“It’s lecture time, right?”
“what? for a moment. “Did you come just in time for the start of the lecture?”
“???”
When the junior was confused, the seniors kindly explained.
“There is no need to come to Professor Verdus’ lecture on time. “He doesn’t care whether we are there or not anyway.”
“But shouldn’t you listen to the lecture?”
“Where is the lecture content?”
Lee Han looked back.
There was definitely nothing.
When I thought about it, Lee Han-do came to the beginning of the lecture and felt like he had learned nothing in particular.
“Just come when you want and go when you want.”
“You bring something to work with, you work on it, and then you leave. “I also came from working somewhere else.”
Einrogard students were taking advantage of Professor Verdus’ indifference.
If the professor is not interested in the student, the student can study on his own.
“Still, isn’t there something blocking it?”
“You have to learn that yourself. “Like that.”

At that moment, one of my seniors got up from his seat, groaning as if he had encountered a problem while working.
He then walked forward and started chattering near Professor Verdus’s workbench. Of course, Professor Verdus, who was in a state of concentration, did not notice.
Pop!
The senior snatched Professor Verdus’ work and ran out of the classroom like a crazy person.
Then Professor Verdus also jumped up and ran after his senior.
“at there! “You mean, dirty thief!”
“I will learn and give back!”
The seniors nodded as they heard the echo coming from outside the classroom.
“That’s how you do it.”
“……”
Lee Han did not ask, ‘Can I ask a question?’ Because I knew it couldn’t be done.
It would be much faster to learn by stealing Professor Verdus’ work than by asking questions.
“ruler. “Let’s go too.”
“Where do you mean?”
Rumble-
The seniors flocked to Professor Verdus’s workstation and quickly copied and copied.
“aha. Like this…”
“Your skills are excellent.”
“So he’s still alive. Do you know that the assassins who came to kill Professor Verdus are waiting in the city near Einrogard? “I heard it was requested by nobles who were deprived of gold.”
“shit. “Is there any way to help those people?”
Lee Han quietly copied and drew the work of his seniors.
Professor Verdus’s workbench looked like a huge pile of trash because of all the junk, but there was all kinds of wisdom hidden inside.
Even salvaging a few artifact blueprints or magic circles drawn on a crumpled wad of paper is a huge step forward for students.
Not long after, Professor Verdus returned with his work retrieved. The senior who stole the work was nowhere to be seen.
Professor Verdus shouted angrily.
“There are too many thieves in this school!”
The students all pretended not to notice and sat down again.
“…Where did that senior go?”
“Professor Verdus may be crazy, but he is not a cruel person. He would have just been subdued.”
Since Professor Verdus only cared about recovering his work, he did not retaliate against the student further or send him to the punishment room.
The senior who disappeared probably took a few hits, so he will recover on his own and then come back.
But even as time passed, the senior did not return.
“You’re not coming back?”
“I guess I got hit a little hard. Don’t worry about it, just do your work. Junior.”
‘The people who listen to Professor Verdus’ lectures seem to have similar personalities to the professor.’
Lee Han uttered a cold-hearted curse that made his seniors’ blood run cold.
* * *
Professor Verdus called Lee Han again. Work assistance was needed.
Seeing this, even seniors who were concentrating on their own work felt puzzled.
‘Now that I think about it, I only asked why you came first, but I didn’t actually hear why you were with Professor Verdus?’
I came first and was in the lecture room. It was possible because I didn’t know the uniqueness of Professor Verdus’ lectures, but it was quite unusual to be near Professor Verdus’ work table.
Basically, Professor Verdus is not one to let other wizards sit next to his workbench.
Actually, it wasn’t anything particularly strange. Originally, for wizards, the magic they studied was a secret area, and workshops and workbenches were also places where outsiders were prohibited from entering.
Of course, if you become a professor and don’t allow students to access it, it would be a bit of a problem…
‘Can I get that close?’
The seniors stopped working and looked at Professor Verdus and Lee Han with curious eyes.
As it was a lecture on <Wand Materials and Magic Amplification>, several students from the Buyeo School of Magic were also present, and they provided commentary in a cautious voice.
“Very strange… very strange. “I can’t believe Professor Verdus calls me that.”
“Isn’t it necessary to do some chores that require a lot of work?”
“Professor Verdus doesn’t even ask you to do chores.”
Professor Verdus was already crazy enough, but he became even more crazy when it came to his magic.
Even minor touches or simple tasks that can be overlooked to a certain extent cannot be tolerated if they do not meet one’s standards.
Naturally, students were not called in for simple chores.
“hey. “Shouldn’t we match the ingredients today?”
“Let’s just wait and see.”
The students sat divided into each tower and looked at each other with interest. One student went so far as to send a paper bird to a friend who had not yet come to class to tell them to come quickly.
“Sending it to the Green Pyrite Magic Tower ends today!”
“oh. then…”
“Let’s do the next one!”
“……”
Lee Han stared at the soft back of Professor Verdus’ head.
“I’m taking lectures too, but shouldn’t I be doing my own work?”
“Just do this! “Anyway, once you start working, you’ll finish it right away!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
When I tried to ignore it and turn around, Professor Verdus hit the floor, opened a secret door, took out the special wand materials inside, and held them out.
Lee Han nodded.
“It meant that I wanted to help even without the professor saying so. “Let’s move on to the next task.”
“You remember the magical power release grant, right?”
The exact name is <Bible’s Magical Radiation Grant>.
It was one of the magic spells that Professor Verdus had forced to teach him last year.
“yes.”
Craddangtangtangtang!
“?”
When Lee Han turned his head, the seniors quickly set up a chair and motioned for him to continue.
“Don’t worry about us.”
“The floor here in the classroom is slippery due to the magic. continue!”
Lee Han was puzzled, but Professor Verdus was next to him whining him to focus, so he turned his gaze back to the work table.
“I need to learn a little more magic similar to that.”
“oh. “What kind of magic are these?”
“Absorption, amplification, increase, acceleration, explosion, curvature, conversion…”
“Do you by any chance not know the meaning?”
Lee Han grumbled, but instead of stealing Professor Verdus’ work and running away, he quietly sat down and began learning magic.
<Bible’s magic release grant> is a magic that changes the nature of magic power and causes the substance containing the magic power to emit magic power.
What was special about this magic was that it did not apply magic to the material itself, but rather to the magical power itself.
‘Amplifying the magical power within the artifact by applying various processes.’
Rather than creating a linked effect by continuously casting magic on a substance, creating an effect by successively casting magic on the magic power within the magic circle was able to produce more accurate results.
It was a magic worthy of Professor Verdus, creating artifacts so precise and detailed that they bordered on madness.
Lee Han also knew the advantages of this method, so he willingly agreed to learn it…
‘It may be impossible to do it all, but it’s good to learn whenever you get the chance. Every time you learn one, it becomes much easier to prepare other enchantments.’
Lee Han learned from absorption. Fortunately, since it is the exact opposite of divergence, the theory itself was not that difficult.
“not there yet?”
“Please wait a moment.”
“not there yet?”
“Wait.”
“not there yet? not there yet? not there yet?”
“Wait… it’s done.”
Craddangtangtangtang!
