Episode 726
“Hmm. “It’s really unique.”
Barglios of the Elbali family, a third-year student who was asking the most likely questions written in the book one by one, tilted his head.
Normally, this would be enough to get one, but I kept getting negative answers.
‘thank god.’
Even though Lee Han didn’t get an answer, he felt slightly relieved.
Fortunately, the tree spirit was not angry.
…Of course, there were many more reasons to come, but I was fortunate enough not to be angry about the reasons that had come up so far.
‘But it’s not my fault.’
Anyone who studied at Einrogard encountered the king of ghouls or the king of frost giants.
In order to survive meeting these people, you have to make a little contract with an evil being…
“good. “In times like these, you should also ask an unusual question.”
“oh. “What is it?”
“Is it because I’m listening to all the schools?”
“……”
Of course the answer was negative.
Lee Han glared at his senior. The Orc student adjusted his glasses with a embarrassed expression.
“That’s an unusual question. “When you get stuck, you have to try these things to find the answer.”
“That’s such an unusual question.”
Barglios continued to ask several questions.
The spirit continued to deny the most likely questions, such as ‘Did the staff endure excessively powerful magic or mana?’ or ‘Did a dangerous monster touch the staff?’
“and. “What is it really?”
“Actually, is it possible that the spirit likes me and won’t answer?”
“That is nonsense. “What kind of Baldrogard student is this guy who studied all the schools talking about?”
Barglius did not compromise at all when it came to magic. Lee Han became sullen and nodded his head.
“Are you dissatisfied with not being able to use your abilities… Wait, is this it? Look here!”
Barglios was surprised when the answer came in the affirmative.
This question was so unlikely that it was placed last in the book.
The level was somewhere between ‘Are you politically dissatisfied with the recent change in power in the spirit world?’ and ‘Have any of the wizard’s ancestors had a friend who had a grudge against a spirit?’
“There is usually nothing that prevents you from using your abilities, right? “Have you left this wand abandoned somewhere for a long time?”
“no. “I carried it with me every day.”
“That’s strange. Umm. wait for a sec. “Let’s check the spirit’s abilities first.”
As he majored in summoning magic, the senior Orc calmly began checking despite the embarrassing situation.
After casting a few spells, I found out that the abilities this tree spirit has…
“The power of restoration, the power of life, the power of perseverance. There are three like this. Isn’t it great? A spirit without a contract is lending its power like this. “I guess I saw it well.”
“I was lucky. “But it’s strange.”
“what?”
“There is only one thing that Professor Thunder Gait told me. “It makes plants grow well.”
Apparently, Professor Thunder Gait had given Lee Han a brief explanation when he received this cane.
It would be great for growing plants…
“That’s the power of life, but… well. I do not know. “Professors don’t really care about their students.”
‘is it?’
Lee Han was puzzled by his senior’s words, but he was convinced.
“First, the power of recovery. You’ve probably experienced it a few times too. It’s a useful spirit power for wizards. “It restores magical power.”
“?”
I had no memory of the wand recovering magic power.
Lee Han looked back on his memories to see if anything, but as expected, nothing came to mind.
“This is probably not it. ruler. Have you failed to exercise the power of restoration? look. “They say the power of recovery has been unleashed… huh?”
The tree spirit answered solemnly that it had not been able to exercise its power.
Barglios was taken aback by that sight.
“Are the glasses’ magic effects gone?”
“no. “I think you saw it correctly.”
Lee Han said in a slightly dark voice.
When I thought about it, even if the tree spirit had the power to restore magical power, Lee Han would not have had a chance to use it.
The power doesn’t need to be used until the magic power decreases; it just stays on, so what’s the point of restoring it?
“I bet he used the other two.”
“The power of life is what you just mentioned…”
“huh. It’s a power that alchemists love. “It helps when growing plants.”
“yes. That seems bitter.”
“What a relief. Have you failed to exercise the power of life?”
The tree spirit immediately answered that he could not even exercise the power of life.
“……”
“…Did you really write it?”
Senior Oak, who had maintained an intellectual attitude until just now, glared at Lee Han through his glasses with a grim look in his eyes.
At this rate, I thought I only used it to wipe the dust off my cane in a year.
“How many plants have I grown? This is a false accusation. “The spirit is mistaken!”
“Hmm. Did the wizard replace the Power of Life with some other means?”
The tree spirit immediately answered yes.

Lee Han asked out of curiosity.
“Did you replace it with magical power?”
Answer in the affirmative.
Lee Han felt a sudden sense of futility.
I thought I was growing well thanks to the cane, but it turns out it was just a placebo effect.
I simply believed that I was growing well thanks to the staff, so the effect increased when I spread magical energy around.
“I thought you used the power of the wand.”
“Cheer up. Sometimes you have that illusion. So, by what means did you replace it?”
“It seems like I dissipated my magical power unconsciously. I believed that it would grow well thanks to the help of the tree spirit, but…”
“……”
Barglios looked at Lee Han as if he were crazy and slowly increased the distance by a step.
If Barglios was a spirit, he would have responded positively to the question, ‘Did you avoid it because you were scared?’
‘What is this guy really doing?’
Of course, since the science of magic is a change brought about by the wizard’s firm will, it could also be said to be a kind of primitive magic.
But why would the word ‘primitive’ be added to primitive magic?
Because it was so unstable and less effective, magic was now cast in a different way.
In order to make a change with just one’s own suggestion, without any special spells, an enormous amount of magical energy had to be continuously applied.
Barglios could not believe that an individual wizard had spread that much magical power.
“What is the final power of stubbornness?”
“It’s simple, but it’s a useful power. It is the power that allows the staff to endure. When casting shock or strong magic.”
“I really wrote this.”
“Slowly. I guess it’s better not to be sure. “Have you failed to exercise your power of stubbornness?”
The answer came back harshly, saying it wasn’t working.
Lee Han shouted in rage.
“How many times have I fought before you say that! “You forgot the King of Ghouls and the King of Frost Giants?!”
“…What king??”
“it’s nothing. senior. Please ask again.”
“If you ask again, the answer won’t change. There is only one reason why he cannot exercise his power of stubbornness. “Is it still not enough?”
Positive.
When the answer came back saying it wasn’t enough, Lee Han didn’t understand and asked.
“What are you lacking?”
“Uh… I guess you have to use more powerful magic for it to be worthwhile to use that power.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at the cane as if he were looking at a crazy person.
* * *
“hmm. Anyway, cheer up! It’s not like the tree spirit hates you. All you have to do is show your performance in the future and that will be enough.”
‘Is that possible?’
After the lecture, Lee Han woke up lonely, receiving comfort from senior Oak.
I learned a lot, but I felt like I gained nothing.
It was as if I hadn’t actually used the spirit’s power until now.
“There’s nothing to think about. If you don’t need to use the power of recovery, just add another power and connect it. “There will be powers that require magic recovery.”
If the tree spirit wanted to restore magic power, all it had to do was add magic to the wand that steadily consumed magic power. On the contrary, it was welcome as a wizard.
Of course, the production difficulty will increase, but…
“Similarly, the power of life is connected by adding other powers.”
“What about the power of stubbornness?”
“I don’t know about that except that you cast stronger magic.”
“…thank you. Seniors. “You must be busy, but I can’t believe you taught me so kindly.”
Lee Han expressed his sincere gratitude.
Everyone was busy with their lectures, and even the seniors were even busier as they were one year older.
However, helping with such sincerity was not something that just anyone could do.
“haha. “It’s not like I’m someone else, it’s because I’m the same junior.”
“Are you a member of the Blue Dragon Tower?”
“no? It was a story about a school of summoning magic. See you during the summoning spell. Junior.”
“……”
Come to think of it, among the seniors here now, one school overlapped with another.
Although he was able to receive help thanks to this, Lee Han felt strangely bitter.
‘For some reason I feel bitter.’
“Hey, Wodanaz!”
Anrago spotted Lee Han from a distance and came running.
“come fast! “If you don’t go right away, you’ll miss out!”
“What are you missing?”
“You’re asking because you don’t know that?! Ugh. Just follow me! hurry!”
“no. “I really don’t know.”
Anrago ran forward, almost pushing Lee Han’s back.
“You’re a member of the club too, so why don’t you know!”
“That’s it… it’s a club I joined. “What kind of club is it?”
“Of course it’s a hardball club. What club would it be?”
Angago said in a voice full of excitement.
One of the things I had been looking forward to all last year was joining the Einrogard Gyeokgu club.
“Now… ‘that’ animal is in. Can you believe this? “You can see that.”
“What are you talking about? griffon? basilisk?”
Angago shouted in shock at Lee Han’s question.
“What are you saying such evil things?! Of course not! Do you not know what a hardball club is? “You have to bring animals you can ride!”
“Gryphons and basilisks are animals that can be ridden.”
Someone inside his sleeve hissed in agreement.
Angago ignored Lee Han, probably because he thought he was talking nonsense.
Looking around in case someone heard him, the white tiger tower friend spoke in a low voice.
“…The professor is taking care of a unicorn right now!”
“aha.”
Lee Han understood what he was saying and nodded.
I rescued an injured unicorn and brought it to Einrogaard during winter vacation, so I wasn’t surprised to see a unicorn in Einrogaard.
“This can be happen.”
‘This bastard, does only cold magic flow through his veins?’
Angago looked at Lee Han as if he could not believe it.
I would never have thought that a very good martial arts player would have such a cold reaction upon hearing that he was a unicorn.
No one with a heart could do that.
“Wardanaz. I’m going to see a unicorn with my own eyes today. And I’m going to ask.”
“what?”
“Why don’t we fight hard together?”
‘That seems like the dumbest question a unicorn could ever ask.’
Lee Han thought so, but his friend looked so excited that he kept the thought to himself.
“okay. It’s up to you to ask. “Is the lecture okay?”
“ah. of course.”
Anrago answered with firm determination.
“I just don’t want to listen to the lecture. Unicorns are more important.”
“……”
Lee Han kicked his friend and sent him back to the classroom.
* * *
The Gyeokgu Club members were watching the unicorn from afar with anxious eyes.
The short, grumpy-looking professor cried out, begging the unicorn.
“Let me take care of you!”
“professor. “It looks like we need a unicorn!”
“Shut up, you loud, ugly creatures! “I can’t get out of there!”
Professor Bendozol unleashed magic on the members of the Gyeokgu Club. The members quickly widened their distance as if they had expected it.
