Episode 843
After much thought, Lee Han made a decision.
‘Go to the medium skeleton golem.’
He was able to receive additional points for being the first medium-sized or higher summon, and since the summon that Lee Han had assembled the most was a skeleton warrior, he seemed to have a slight advantage.
And later, when it was time to assemble a new summon, there was an expedient way to choose a large skeleton golem.
“Let’s try a medium-sized skeleton golem.
“Okay, junior. …Wait a minute.”
‘omg. ‘Did you get caught?’
Lee Han flinched when Delet called him.
Could it be that Dirette has figured out Lee Han’s strategy, which looks difficult but is actually easy and allows him to cleverly get through the later tests?
“The wand has changed?
“Ah. Yes. Completed.”
“What? You should have told me that first! That’s good.”
Delet was brightly happy as if it were his own work.
“Yukbeltire, no matter what, he works hard on magic that is interesting to him. He says making wands is simple and boring, but he asked me a few times about black magnets, so I thought he might be interested.”
“Professor Verdus did it for me, but…”
“?!”
Delet was so surprised by his junior’s answer that he flapped his wings upward.
“how!?”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of any other way to entrust the job to Professor Verdus other than threatening him.
“Professor Garcia threatened me.”
‘It was a real threat.’
It was an unexpected answer, but it actually made me more embarrassed. Di Lett nodded his head and tried to remain calm.
“Well, I see. I’m glad Professor Garcia convinced me.”
The threat subtly turned into persuasion, but Lee Han just ignored it.
In fact, these two words are often used with the same meaning in Einrogard…
“You haven’t gotten used to the wand yet, have you?”
“Yes. First, I will try to use the tree spirit power.”
“What about black magnets?”
“Are you being careful about the black magnet?”
Lee Han answered because he was wondering if he was talking about magic being canceled due to the black magnet on the staff.
But Delet slowly shook his head.
“I guess it’s because you’re Professor Verdus that you didn’t explain it properly.”
“Senior Yukveltire didn’t really explain it properly…”
“Listen, junior.”
‘You’re changing your tone.’
Delet began explaining about the black magnet.
It is common sense that wizards should not use minerals that absorb magical power, but originally, wizards were basically a group of people who were far from common sense.
When they find a poisonous mushroom, instead of avoiding it, they try to eat a little bit of it and think, ‘How can I not use this effect?’
Of course, there were cases of such research on black magnets as well.
“The representative example is reverse magic. Junior, I guess you haven’t learned it yet…”
“Last year, I learned from the principal. He said I would encounter a lot of magical criminals, so I learned how to unlock their secret arts.”
“Of course, junior, I thought you would have learned it.”
Direth continued speaking without changing his expression, as he was quite accustomed to the junior member of the Wardanaz family.
Reverse magic was a very difficult art among the many advanced techniques of magic.
In the first place, there is no separate spell called ‘reverse magic’, but since the entire methodology for destroying the opponent’s magic is reverse magic, the difficulty is bound to be high.
Identify the opponent’s magic in advance and interrupt and break it beforehand.
It’s simple, but to make this possible, you need a sharp sense to first understand the opponent’s magic, and extensive knowledge to distinguish the identity of that magic. And you needed to have the agility to be one step ahead of your opponent.
“Actually, I’ve hardly ever used counter magic. I often use <Baldororn’s Magical Hammer>.”
“I understand. That method suits you well, junior. But you can’t blow away all magic like that, right? And some magic can cause too much damage if you don’t block it before casting. The black magnet on this staff is used by you, junior, to reverse magic. I’ll help you write it.”
When Lee Han himself cast a spell, the moment he focused his mind on the black magnet part rather than the wood part, the magic was disturbed or canceled.
So what if you focus your mind on the black magnet after coming into contact with the opponent’s magic?
“…Such strong interference and disruption is involved. Of course, contacting the opponent’s magic requires a lot of magic power and concentration, but it is well worth the effort.”
“I think so.”
Lee Han nodded in surprise.
In fact, the black magnet was only thought of as an advantage that allowed the staff to withstand when casting powerful magic.
I never thought this kind of counter-magic would have its advantages.
“Senior Direth, where did you learn this?”
“Wizards from the black magic school have a lot of contact with the devil, so they often use black magnets.”
“……”
Lee Han regretted asking for no reason.
In fact, when it comes to high-ranking demons, it is often difficult for a wizard to subdue them with strength versus strength.
The ability to deceive, negotiate, or tie up the opponent and run away becomes much more important.
At such times, metals like black magnets became surprisingly useful.
Your own magic is bound, but the opponent’s demon’s magic is also bound…
“Then, shall we do a quick practice? Eight curses of 2nd circle or less. I will select them at random and cast them, so try to interrupt them somehow with countermagic before they are cast.”
‘Tsk. ‘You’re doing too much.’
The time to create a skeleton golem was already running out, but Lee Han was thrilled by his senior’s strictness in increasing the difficulty by further reducing the time.

But Lee Han could not bear to refuse.
If you refuse and think Delet is an arrogant junior…
‘You may think that you only casually listen to senior lectures while paying attention to other lectures.’
That could never happen.
Lee Han grabbed his newly made staff, thinking about how he would assemble the skeleton golem in the remaining time.
* * *
“…Move!”
“Junior… I didn’t summon you from another dimension, but you assembled it, so there’s no point in shouting…”
“Ugh.”
The counter-magic practice that Direth mentioned was quite successful.
Of course, Direth took care of the situation so that his junior could get used to the cane, but the result was quite good.
-I think I know what it feels like. senior. It’s hard to interfere when the distance is still far, but when the distance is close, it’s definitely…
-It would be good to know the structure and practice blocking magic that is easy to interfere with.
In comparison, assembling the skeleton golem was quite difficult.
‘shit. ‘I don’t have much time.’
Lee Han checked the time with a nervous expression.
First, in old-fashioned, or rather, ancient orthodox black magic, summoning undead was done in the following way.
The core reagent in which the summoned beast’s body is compressed is taken out, magic is infused into the reagent to form the summoned beast, and commands are given so that it can move even if the wizard does not control it one by one.
There were no major problems with the first process, reagents.
First of all, not only did Delet prepare the <Large Monster Bone>, but Lee Han also strengthened the bone fragment reagent he usually carried by adding dark elements and blood elements.
Thanks to this, even an ordinary bone fragment was able to withstand summoning a medium-sized skeleton golem.
And the second process, shape composition, was also successful right away.
Since I had summoned a lot of skeleton warriors on a regular basis, and in case of emergency, I combined these skeletons to create a reinforced skeleton, this was thanks to my understanding of the form being much higher than expected.
The problem was the last command.
This was difficult to do in a short period of time as the wizard’s brain had to be overworked by injecting and linking commands one by one.
The skeleton golem summoned just now was trying to escape by breaking the classroom wall, and the skeleton golem summoned before that was trying to dance in 3/4 time (Dirette was surprised and wanted to leave the composition, but Lee Han himself failed to reproduce it. did)…
And now the skeleton golem did not move in reverse. Since the previous skeleton golems moved as they wanted, I was a little careful and their movements seemed to be twisted.
‘Tsk. It’s like this annoying skull golem…’
“Come to think of it, junior.”
Direth spoke to Lee Han without knowing his true feelings.
Although it was painful to lose concentration, Lee Han answered. How can you ignore a senior who is like the sky calling you?
“yes.”
“I forgot to tell you earlier, but you have a cane. I think it would be better to say that Professor Verdus forced you to make it.”
“…Yes? Why on earth would you lie like that?”
Regardless of the reason for lying, it was a lie that no one except Einrogard new students would believe.
Professor Verdus took it upon himself to help a student with his work?
‘This is seriously the most bullshit lie I’ve heard this year.’
“No. Listen carefully, junior. Professor Verdus also sometimes helps students with magic if it’s a topic he’s interested in.”
Delet opened his mouth in a cautious manner.
As Yukveltire is a school of enchantment magic, Direth knew Professor Verdus quite well.
Professor Verdus had a bad taste for sometimes secretly completing only the most interesting and exciting parts of the Buyeo School of Magic students’ research and then leaving.
To put it mildly, Yukveltyre locked the door while conducting his research and made sure Professor Verdus never entered.
“That… I guess so, but why do you have to lie like that?”
“I’m afraid Yukveltire will be disappointed. I was interested in the wand.”
“Ah. You misunderstood. Senior Yukveltyre has a heart of steel and will never disappoint.”
“……”
Delet felt a little sorry for his friend who was being so confidently slandered by a fellow top junior.
But what can you do?
Everything is worth it!
“Junior. I’ve been with Yukveltire longer. Do as I tell you.”
“Okay. I can just say that Professor Verdus told me to do it, right?”
Since it wasn’t that difficult, Lee Han readily agreed.
“But if what you said is true, wouldn’t the professor be resentful of you?”
“huh.”
“……”
Lee Han said nothing and nodded calmly.
And then I focused on the skeleton golem again.
“By the way, there is Duke Ikaldoren.”
‘Ugh.’
Direth, unaware of his distressed junior’s true feelings, talked about the kidnapping last time, or rather, about the duke who brought him in.
“When I first brought him here, he was so afraid that it was difficult to talk to him, but he seems to be getting better these days. He even talked to Yukbeltire well.”
“Is that true? What do you want to say?”
“Jukveltyre usually asks how much he can serve, and the Duke asks that the meal be prosciutto ham topped with truffles and chicken that has been harvested for less than two days.
“Please ask for the curry salad and the southern-style mushroom consommé.”
‘Is it possible that the principal didn’t starve properly?’
Lee Han was surprised to see that the duke still had more energy left to focus on gourmet food than expected.
If you were eating like a student, you would eat whole grilled and fried meat, hot fruit pies, cakes, or chocolate rather than hard-to-remember menus.
etc. would have come out right away.
“But is this true? It seems like we are running parallel to each other?”
“Since the duke is in a disadvantageous position, he will compromise accordingly. At this level, he is speaking well.”
‘Sometimes the positive side shown by seniors can be scary.’
Are you saying that’s a good thing?
Pot!
“…Senior! It’s moving! The skeleton golem is moving properly!”
“What? Really?! I didn’t think I’d finish it today.”
“I’m so glad… Wait a minute, Senpai. What do you mean you didn’t know you could finish it today?”
Lee Han was about to be happy with his senior, but he stopped and looked down.
