Life of a Magic Academy Mage Chapter 834

Episode 834

‘I was complacent. ‘Trying normal methods against a crazy forest.’

What kind of forest gives branches if you give up?

I even heard that as soon as Gainando started, he was sitting near the forest to rest and a tree branch just fell from above.

“What are you doing?

“I’m going to try my hand at evil magic.”

“Hehe. Just keep walking.”

“I’m saying that now…”

Even Lee Han, who was able to listen carefully, became a little moved as he continued to listen.

Does this mean we should keep walking knowing when the forest will give us a gift?

But Lagesa was quite serious.

Aside from teasing students, he never told lies about magic.

“The only answer is to keep walking. Didn’t you say that the forest sees measure? Then how can you measure measure? The forest is not omnipotent. In the end, it is all about seeing when you truly give up. When you really give up without a single regret. , That’s when we send the tree.”

King Gwangmok’s forest judged the wizard’s magnanimity by his patience.

When you give up without a single trace of persistence in your heart.

That’s when the magician’s magnanimity comes into play.

“…!”

Lee Han was thrilled after hearing the explanation.

And then I looked at Gainando.

‘No, then this kid truly gave up as soon as he started??’

To be exact, about an hour had passed since it started, but that was it.

How can you give up so cleanly without a single trace of persistence in your heart?

“The reason you say we have to keep going is that the forest won’t believe me even if I declare that I’m giving up.”

“That’s right! Do you understand now?”

Even if Lee Han declared, ‘Give up!’, if there was any regret in his heart, the forest did not accept it.

To truly give up, I had to push myself to the limit by walking through the forest.

When it’s hard and you feel like you’re going to collapse and you really want to give up.

That was when the tree branches appeared.

“Um. Master? Master?”

Lee Han immediately gave up and called his crazy alter ego.

It’s so easy to give up like this!

* * *

indeed

Surprisingly, the crazy clone did not get angry and listened to Lee Han’s words seriously.

It was a rare opportunity to visit the Spirit King’s forest and receive the twig.

A wizard should get the best tree branch and trim it into a staff.

“Could it be possible to threaten the forest?”

How can you threaten the forest?

“…With powerful and great ancient magic?”

In response to the student’s incredibly pathetic question, the crazy clone spoke with contempt in his eyes.

What do you think of magic? thousand things

‘You’re stabbing me where it hurts.’

Lee Han reflected.

You keep learning from Einrogard that ‘magic is not omnipotent’ and then you make such an irresponsible request.

But there is a way. The royal family will advise you.

“!”

Lee Han was pleased with the solid advice.

As expected, the ancient great wizard was not ordinary.

keep walking Until exhaustion.

“……”

Do not eat, drink, rest, or sleep. It will be a good experience.

‘You’re just saying that you’ve become undead.’

The main body became a lich, and the clone itself was now more like a thought than a living being, so it would have no appetite or desire to sleep.

However, it was difficult to do that as Lee Han was still alive and well.

How far do you have to walk to get around until you collapse from exhaustion?

“Yes, I understand.”

Lee Han thought that he should just ignore the words of his crazy alter ego like Lagesa.

However, like a master, the crazy alter ego was one step above his students.

A thousand things. If you get your hands on a branch, please report it. I will take a closer look.

“…Is there a need to go that far?”

Lee Han was taken aback when his alter ego came out more seriously than expected.

It’s not even a midterm exam. Why are we testing this?

It’s worth it. It’s about making a new wand. If you fall down early due to laziness, I will not forgive you.

The crazy alter ego spoke with several times more pressure than usual.

Lee Han was nervous as he knew that the other party had listened to many of his demands and been patient, no matter what.

This crazy alter ego has no idea what it will do when its patience explodes and it goes crazy.

“Of course. Who am I? Aren’t I the master’s disciple? If I don’t get the best branch here, I’d rather refuse it.”

That’s wrong. A thousand things. What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

‘no. ‘How can you be such a bastard when you’re a member of the royal family?’

I tried to seize the mood and speak like royalty, but when it was pointed out, Lee Han grumbled inwardly.

But a thousand things. I understand your concerns too. The higher you reach the level, the harder it becomes to burn out. As knowledge increases, liberation becomes more difficult.

“Yes. What should I do?

Give yourself pain. It is a penance.

“……”

When only unexpected advice came out, Lee Han regretted that he had called the wrong person today.

At least I should have blocked it earlier…

Anyway, the crazy clone started explaining various magic.

It makes one’s limbs heavy, causes hunger, thirst, exhaustion, and death.

“But, Master, I have a lot of magic power, so this curse doesn’t work very well.”

I understand. It’s a hardship for those born with it.

“Thank you…”

I will teach you how to let go of the curse into your soul and how to let go of the curse through your soul.

“……”

Although ancient magic could not persuade King Gwangmok’s forest, Lee Han knew how to send a curse to the soul deep within his bones.

“Why on earth was this magic developed?”

I guess you learned it last time? I don’t have a good memory.

“Yeah…”

Lee Han wondered what he was talking about and only then did he realize.

The magic I learned last time was <Gonadaltes’ Destiny>.

It was a magic that began with the transcendental idea of ​​absorbing the pain, curse, and destruction of the world.

‘Right. If you can absorb other people’s wounds or curses, you can also let the curse flow into your own bones or soul.’

Since it is a magic that absorbs and controls pain, curses, extinction, etc., it was natural that various derivatives emerged from its application.

I don’t know why one of the derivations included placing a curse deep within the wizard’s own soul…

I could at least understand that it was being used for offense, but isn’t this just pure self-harm?

Stay focused.

‘Apply Yeongrak. I am putting a curse on myself. Rather than casting it on the outside, it’s like absorbing an uncreated curse and putting it deep into your bones…’

Following his crazy alter ego’s instructions, Lee Han tried repeatedly.

It was a truly strange feeling.

This whole process of trying to somehow take advantage of the magician’s weakness and place a curse.

And Lee Han once again felt that he was an annoying opponent.

‘What kind of magic power does this guy have…’

An impregnable fortress with not a single gap in sight.

When I threw a curse from the outside, it was crushed like an egg thrown at a castle wall.

The curse had to be created within the walls and absorbed, not within the walls.

Skin, muscles, flesh, blood, magic, and bones, and the soul within them…

What I thought was simply ‘myself’ was a collection of various elements that could be more fragmented than expected.

At that moment, Lee Han realized that he could place a curse right on his bones.

Immediately, avoiding the interference of his magic power.

“Get heavier!”

Lee Han was surprised by the unpleasant sensation of the curse he felt for the first time.

After the curse was cast, before the magic power could pull out the unpleasant foreign substances and dispose of them, <Gonadaltes’ Eternal Glory> hid them deep in the bones.

Arms and legs definitely feel heavier. Lee Han shouted with joy.

“Did you see it?!”

noisy. Next is the soul.

Although the second-year wizard was observing himself and dividing each element into spells, his crazy clone did not praise him at all. It was really cold as hell.

In the first place, it is important for all schools for wizards to become aware of their own souls.

In particular, for schools that deal with spiritual bodies or physical bodies, such as the school of fantasy magic, this kind of soul awareness is very essential.

However, it was not at all easy for a wizard to distinguish between each of his organs, flesh, blood, magic, and bones.

The concept of oneself was surprisingly difficult to consider.

Now that I’ve accomplished this, I can now distinguish between other people’s components and souls and cast magic on them.

“Wait a minute, Master. But this can also be applied to shooting magic at other people.”

Lee Han also asked whether he realized it too late.

I thought it was just a spell for self-harm, but when I tried it, the application turned out to be wider than I thought.

It seemed like this vision could well be applied to other people.

Don’t be like the idiot who discovered the sun rising for the first time today.

‘You’re talking too harshly.’

Lee Han grumbled inwardly.

It may feel natural since you learned and did it all in ancient times, but from this point of view, in fact, every single thing was amazing.

I could feel how an ancient magic was affecting the current imperial magic.

“Master. I have one more question.”

He told me to cast a curse on the soul.

Despite his crazy alter ego’s warning, Lee Han continued to say what he had to say.

After dealing with my crazy alter ego for a long time, I was able to distinguish between real anger and fake anger.

Of course, fake anger didn’t mean I wasn’t angry. It could be said that his anger was at a level where he would not come to kill Lee Han.

“Isn’t it easier to practice with someone else?”

Lee Han’s question struck a surprisingly sharp point.

In fact, what was originally easier was to understand the components and soul of others.

Usually, magic is easy to cast on oneself, but this kind of soul awareness and recognition is more difficult to figure out on one’s own.

Therefore, teachers of fantasy magic schools usually had their students understand the teacher’s components and soul.

Even if a student makes a mistake, the teacher can easily respond.

He told me to cast a curse on the soul. Don’t make me say it twice.

But his crazy alter ego didn’t care much about what was easier or harder.

I just wanted to quickly place a curse deep in my soul and make him walk.

“Yes, I understand.”

Lee Han probably thought he couldn’t hold out any longer, so he prepared again.

It was similar to what we just did, but a little more difficult.

After going beyond the bones located in the deepest part of the body, a curse is cast somewhere deeper into the soul, and then the spirit of Gonadaltes is applied to bind it tightly.

I almost wondered if I should go this far just to curse myself, but I couldn’t help it.

“Get heavier!”

I felt a much stronger effect than before.

After all, a curse engraved on the soul is more powerful than a curse engraved on the bones.

Following his crazy alter ego’s advice, Lee Han added curses one after another. My limbs became heavy and I felt tired and drowsy.

Now walk. Think while you walk.

“What do you mean?”

The pain and curse of the world. What must be done to eliminate this abominable pain and curse? Think about your weaknesses. It would be nice to feel resentful of your weakness and inability to do anything. Turn those thoughts and emotions into strength and pull them out.

“……”

Even when I was delirious, I could hear my crazy alter ego very clearly.

Lee Han suddenly remembered a story he had heard before about the skeleton principal’s disciples.

Burn yourself, burn the skeleton headmaster, or burn the continent.

I think I definitely said that…

‘…I think the reason is strangely understandable…’

I still didn’t understand what kind of power the crazy alter ego was trying to draw from, but it seemed like maybe that power could be transferred to the crazy alter ego himself.
