Life of a Magic Academy Mage Chapter 854

Episode 854

Lee Han tried to apply the same force to the area that Professor Garcia had grabbed, but ended up failing.

‘It’s a waste to spend it now.’

If you use it once, Professor Verdus will never give you a safe distance from the next time, so it was a waste to use it just because of this anger.

‘Hehe. ‘Professor Verdus doesn’t even know about his weaknesses!’

Professor Verdus began his explanation, completely oblivious to his student’s evil intentions.

In fact, even before this small aerial sailboat, Professor Verdus’s long-cherished dream was an airship.

Not a small sailboat like this, but a huge flying sailing ship. He also dreamed of a fully automated flying sailboat.

In fact, even now, there are no flying vehicles in the empire.

Even if you do not use a winged animal such as a gryphon or unicorn to fly, a somewhat skilled enchantment wizard can create a flight artifact and use it to fly.

Because it was possible to move around.

Here, more skilled enchantment wizards could increase the size of the artifact and adjust its balance to accommodate multiple additional people.

However, this only applies when a wizard gets on board and directly controls the artifact.

Instead of such an imperfect compromise, Professor Verdus wanted perfection in which the flying sailboat could fly on its own without a single wizard on board.

Of course, the difficulty level has increased thousands of times.

The sails, masts, bow, and tower had to be engraved with magic to attract and amplify the wind, and the large keel that supported the center of the bottom of the ship had to be engraved with magic to lighten the weight and reverse gravity.

Connecting these magic circles harmoniously was a task so difficult that it burned my brain, but there were many other tasks that were equally as difficult.

Since it had to be done, it was natural that Professor Verdus had not yet solved it even after suffering for decades.

‘Thanks to you, I also had a hard time during vacation.’

Lee Han also once helped Professor Verdus (forcibly) to solve the problem of horsepower needed for a giant flying sailboat.

I was thinking of oversaturating a few magic circles with magic power, measuring how efficient they are, and then making up for it…

‘for a moment. ‘I remember all of this?!’

Lee Han was astonished when all the details of his work with Professor Verdus last year remained in his mind.

At the very least, it seemed less unfair to remember the idea of ​​a clumsy mystery novel written by Guy Nando.

I already forgot about that, but Professor Verdus’s theory still remains. Just thinking about it made me feel very uncomfortable.

“Compared to what I showed you last time, this is a low-level product, like child’s play.”

“I think Lagetha will be really happy to hear it.”

“That’s because Lagessa’s original level is low.”

“……”

‘I really need to report this.’

Lee Han took deep notes in his mind about what he had just heard.

“It doesn’t move completely automatically, so someone has to steer it. Hold the wheel here.”

“What level of wizard does it take to do this?”

A wizard could control these flying artifacts.

The question is, at what level can a wizard be controlled?

If it was a really well-made flight artifact, even a Baldrogard student could drive it, and if it was a poorly made flight artifact, only Professor Verdus could fly it. Skill is skill, but no one will be sad when it falls.

“A wizard?”

“Huh? Isn’t it controlled by a wizard?”

“This is an item that was originally created so that you don’t have to be a wizard to control it. How many pirates are wizards?”

“…!”

Lee Han was greatly shocked by Professor Verdus speaking casually.

I had forgotten, but the beaver bird in front of me, no, the professor who was a beaver, was definitely a genius.

‘I forgot. Even with that personality, Professor Verdus wasn’t dead yet.’

The fact that he survived under a skeletal principal with that personality could be seen as proof of his genius.

You don’t have to be a wizard to control it.

It sounded simple, but it took a huge amount of magic to even allow ordinary people to use the wheel-shaped steering wheel used to fly around the sea when flying through the air.

First, I had to change my senses so that air resistance felt like the resistance of sea water, and I had to apply the sails one by one as if they were moving on the sea. Aside from that, I had to prepare for all kinds of situations that could happen when the wizard was not around.

“How do we land without a wizard?”

“If you throw an anchor with gravity magic here, the ship will go down on its own.”

“What about departure?”

“The moment you raise the anchor, the boat will float.”

“What about turning? When you encounter a rain cloud? When you encounter a monster?”

Lee Han asked many questions, but Professor Verdus answered them one by one without getting tired of it at all.

Lee Han stopped to admire the carefully completed small flying sailboat.

“But Professor, isn’t it already finished?”

Listening to it now, it didn’t seem like there was anything missing.

By any chance, did you mention the specifications after completion when it has not yet been completed?

“No. There are still areas for improvement.”

“Where? Are you talking about the part here where the paint has peeled off?”

“That’s okay.”

“Then are you talking about the figurehead statue in front of the sailboat here? It looks like it’s not finished yet, but it looks very important…”

“Huh? It’s finished and that’s it. It’s a beaver.”

“…Uh. Um. I-I see. It’s majestic.”

Lee Han was surprised when he saw the statue that Professor Verdus had decorated with a beaver.

‘I thought it was a chimera.’

“Then what else?”

“We need to make it move completely automatically, without a helmsman!”

Lee Han was once again surprised by Professor Verdus’ words.

It’s already surprising enough, but they’re aiming for something even more difficult here.

Above all, isn’t that a problem that even Professor Verdus himself has not yet been able to solve (even though it was a giant flying sailing ship)?

‘Lagesa, you are not ordinary either.’

Well, looking at the amount of gold coins invested, it seemed like I should aim for that level.

Otherwise, who would invest in Professor Verdus?

“Lagessa is also great at distribution. To be honest, investments and sponsorships are made with somewhat realistic goals, but you are aiming for something like that.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“..Isn’t this what Lagesa requested?”

“Lagesa didn’t ask for this?”

“???”

Lee Han’s soul gradually became dizzy, as if he had been hit by an illusionary spell.

Is Professor Verdus using magic at all?

“…Then what on earth is this? I heard it’s offered to Lady Lagesa?”

“Ah. Lagesa said just being able to control it would be enough.”

Lagetha was a realistic pirate and never dreamed of a fully autonomous blimp.

I invested because I thought it would be nice to have a scout ship that could handle even pirates who couldn’t use magic.

“Then… isn’t it completed now? I can offer it up, right?”

“What are you talking about? I’ve completed it up to this point and you’re telling me to hand it over to someone else without improving it further? Are you still a wizard after that?

“……”

Lee Han closed his eyes tightly as he saw Professor Verdus forgetting the concept of investment.

‘Why did I receive a letter!’

Whether I gave him a black magnet or made him a wand, I should have just forgotten and ignored him!

“So, Professor. It’s already been completed, and Lagesa didn’t make any requests, but in your opinion, it would be a waste to end it like this, so I just held on to it.

So you are there. “I don’t give it to the other person even if they ask for it.”

“huh!”

“…So, if you can’t finish it by tomorrow, are you going to give up and pass it on?”

“no?”

“Is that so…there’s dirt on your shoulder again?”

Lee Han naturally placed his hand on Professor Verdus’ shoulder.

Is it now?

* * *

In the end, Lee Han endured it one more time.

‘Let’s just take the opportunity and steal it.’

Anyway, there would be a chance if I helped, so if I thought that wouldn’t work, I planned to steal the sailboat myself and take it to Lagesa.

I just happened to have a backpack…

‘I don’t know if it will fit in my backpack. Is it okay if I empty all of space 6? ‘I think it’ll be close.’

“Now. Follow me.”

Professor Verdus took Lee Han out of the attic.

Then he stuck his head out and looked around.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I’m afraid there will be an attack!”

“…Professor, this is the magic tower?”

“There could be a traitor.”

‘You’re sharp in strange ways.’

Since Professor Verdus’ students talked about how much they would sell their teacher for, Professor Verdus’ concerns could be seen as valid.

Professor Verdus did not let his guard down even after checking his surroundings. As he left the main gate of the Magic Tower, he went into detection once again.

Lee Han yawned as he watched him check for raiders, assassins, spies, and Lagesa nearby for nearly 10 minutes.

“You should have lived a nice life.”

‘You are thorough.’

After speaking, Lee Han realized that his true feelings came out first, but Professor Verdus paid him no mind.

“What are you talking about? I lived a good life?”

“…So where should I go?”

Professor Verdus took out the sailboat he had dragged out and motioned for Lee Han to get on it.

As soon as they both got on, the sailboat took off. The destination was above the huge main building.

Flying inside the Einrogard territory, or near the main building, was not a very good choice.

The Death Knights who were watching the students escape took off on their vehicles.

But the Death Knights did not fly.

Lee Han realized that the knights already knew about Professor Verdus’ sailboat.

‘indeed. Actually, it would be too bothersome to monitor the professor’s vehicles one by one.’

This was also good information.

If only I could kidnap Professor Verdus and pick him up when I have to go out later…

“Oh. You came in by mistake.”

Professor Verdus put the sailboat back as the main building suddenly rose upward and increased in height.

Then I adjusted the height a little and went back in. The main building, which had just expanded, quietly appeared this time.

It was a steeple stable that Lee Han had also seen several times.

Professor Verdus landed lightly and carefully took out a thick order form from his backpack. Several control spells were needed to make it move on its own without a helmsman.

“Okay, we’re going to experiment with these one by one and record the errors.”

“But Professor, I don’t know these magics.”

Lee Han checked the magic that Professor Verdus had pulled out.

Thanks to being forced to serve as a disciple, Lee Han learned and knew various magics, including absorption, amplification, curvature, and conversion, starting with <Bible’s magic release grant>.

But this required a much more complex and intuitive result.

<Grant of Byble’s departure>, <Grant of Bible’s flight>, <Grant of Bible’s landing>…

It was probably a magic that prepared for various situations necessary for flight.

Of course, it had to be complicated.

In fact, they are the same as magic needed to create flight artifacts.

‘It seems that flight artifacts are made by combining them in this way.’

Lee Han also understood quickly as he was a second year student.

If magics such as <Grant Bible’s Magical Discharge> mentioned above are responsible for the basics such as arithmetic in the creation of artifacts, then <Byble’s Departure Department>

W> These magics were like formulas needed for specific situations.

Magics that are semi-essential to learn in certain situations, that is, in order to create flight artifacts.

“Oh yeah?”

Professor Verdus expressed his surprise at hearing that his student did not know.

Of course I thought you knew.

“Yes. Professor, if you do an experiment, should I just record the errors?”

“Huh? No. I brought you here because I need your magic power. Then I have to learn it now.”

“……”

Lee Han looked closely at Professor Verdus’ shoulder again.
