Episode 087
What Perkuntra was trying to do was elemental transformation.
A type of stunt used to demonstrate one’s great power among spirits.
The method was simple.
It is changing one element into another element.
It sounds simple, but it was anything but simple.
Turn flame into ice.
Ice to lightning.
Lightning to darkness.
A good wizard knew how amazing it was to change an existing element into another element.
It was easier to summon a new element, but changing an existing element at will was much more difficult.
Moreover, this was an element summoned by a wizard.
What makes this possible is that it is also possible to arbitrarily change the fireball thrown by the wizard into a spear of ice and then send it back.
In other words, it is a proof of powerful power that it is possible to directly interfere with the elemental concepts included in magic…
……
Since it failed, it was proof and nothing else. Ihan and Yoner were whispering earnestly about what Perkuntra had just done.
“I guess you were trying to show me lightning.”
“Lightning…? It was definitely a great lightning strike, but what does that have to do with summoning the fire element?”
“Isn’t it an attempt to show the power of lightning by contrasting it a little more? “When lightning strikes a flame, flames fly out…”
“Is that so? “It doesn’t seem very effective.”
Did you see it? This thunderbolt is my power.
Perkuntra quickly changed his words.
No matter how proud he was, he couldn’t admit failure to young wizards.
Ihan and Yoner nodded at the spirit’s words.
“You really meant to show lightning.”
“But I don’t think bringing in flames was really effective.”
“Shh. “The spirits’ sensibilities may be a little different.”
Perkuntra ground his teeth.
The young wizards’ sincere consideration made the powerful spirit even more humiliated.
‘why…?’
Perkuntra looked at the flickering flames.
Originally, it was Perkuntra who took control of the elements of a much more skilled wizard than the one in front of him and transformed them at will.
But you can’t take even one of the flames from that young wizard.
‘!’
Only then did Perkuntra feel that there was something strange about the flames summoned by Lee Han.
On the outside it was an ordinary flame, but on the inside it was sleeping, glowing with condensed magical power that threatened to explode.
It was like a dragon’s flame that could change in any way according to the wizard’s will.
Perkuntra felt a chill down her spine for the first time in a long time.
Young wizards tend to make frequent mistakes and accidents.
Even when using simple flame magic, the heat of the flame can be raised to a level that even the wizard himself cannot withstand, or the flame cannot maintain its shape and explodes everywhere, etc.
The reason why young wizards were relatively safe despite such mistakes and accidents was because the amount of magical power they put into their magic was small.
Since the amount of magic is small, even if the magic goes out of control, it is not that dangerous.
But the young wizard in front of me was different.
What if that young wizard accidentally loses control and causes the flames to explode?
There was a high possibility that this closed punishment room would melt away and the two wizards would die instantly.
‘Why on earth would you do such a reckless thing…’
Perkuntra, who was cursing inwardly, soon realized the culprit.
…The culprit was himself.
He urged them to gather magical power and once again urged them to convert it into a destructive element.
Of course, the young wizard must have gathered as much magical energy as the spirit told him to and created a destructive flame.
Perkuntra even tried to take control.
Wizards instinctively grab hold of someone when they try to take control away from them.
Because of this, it was clear that the amount of magic power had increased unconsciously.
‘I made a mistake…! I should have taken into account that there was that much magic power!’
Perkuntra’s respect was no longer important.
It was important to somehow cancel the flames without embarrassing the young wizard.
You must have seen the majesty of my… my thunderbolt.
“yes. It was really cool. So, if you would open the way now…”
Lee Han’s words were only half sincere.
The other half was flattery because they wanted to get out quickly.
Perkuntra wanted to curse, but he couldn’t because the fireball was still burning in front of Ihan.
Swearing -> The young wizard is emotionally agitated or angry -> Anger affects the flames -> Flames explode!
wait! I will open the way. I promise you on my honor.
“Are you sure?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
The spirit was kinder than I thought.
I thought there would be more fuss…
‘Well, the spirit is not a professor.’

I didn’t know that Lee Han thought too badly of the spirit.
So don’t panic. Stay calm. Never be afraid. Do you understand? If you understand, say you understand.
“…??”
“???”
Perkuntra had no talent for speaking. Ihan and Yoner immediately realized something was strange.
‘Why are you doing that?’
“Is there something wrong?”
No problem! There’s no problem!
Lee Han tilted his head and waved his wand to move the flame to the side.
Perkuntra was so surprised that she screamed. I could barely stand it.
Don’t wave the stick…
“??”
Lee Han was puzzled. I lifted the wand and looked at it, wondering if it was the tree spirit dwelling in it.
Don’t shake it…! …is it dry??
Perkuntra was about to shout but held back. It would have been more dangerous if Lee Han was surprised.
“why?”
Perkuntra was really frustrated. I wanted to tell you how dangerous that fire was.
However, if that were the case, the embarrassed young wizards could have caused more accidents.
I… don’t like swinging a cane in front of you.
“……”
“……”
Ihan and Yoner looked shocked. Perkuntra could tell what the two were thinking.
They both thought that Perkuntra was an eccentric and strange spirit!
But there was no time to argue.
The longer the flame was left on, the more likely it was to explode. I had to cancel that flame by any means necessary.
‘How on earth?’
No matter how much I racked my brain, Perkuntra did not come to mind.
If I tell you to cancel the flames…
Ask the reason -> The young wizard is emotionally agitated -> The agitation affects the flames -> Flames explode!
My thoughts… changed.
“???”
I will make a contract with you!
“……”
Lee Han slowly began to doubt the mental state of the spirit in front of him.
‘Do you have bipolar disorder?’
Of course, it wasn’t the time for Lee Han to feel hot or cold, but he didn’t want to become friends with a mentally unstable spirit.
“May I ask why?”
Perkuntra really wanted to strike someone with lightning.
I can’t thank you enough…!
But there was no time. I had to somehow convince that young wizard.
I see infinite potential in you!
“yes? “What on earth are you looking at…”
Perkuntra’s awkward praise seemed to have made Lee Han more wary.
Even the red-haired wizard looked wary.
“It looks suspicious…”
“yes? “It’s been a while since we talked.”
Yes horsepower! The magical power you possess is like a monster that is difficult for any wizard to match. Don’t you know that too!
“But you said earlier that you wouldn’t sign a contract because of the amount of horsepower. “With people I don’t know well…”
That’s because I didn’t know it at the time! I think I know now! hurry! Sign the contract quickly!
Perkuntra became impatient and cried out impatiently. You never know if the flames could explode at any time.
‘Is there really bipolar disorder?’
Lee Han was worried.
Although I had some doubts about the other person’s mental state, it was also true that I honestly wanted the opportunity to make a contract with a spirit.
If Far’akis recommended it, it was clearly a spirit with outstanding abilities.
I don’t know why I grumbled that I didn’t like it at first, but then suddenly changed my mind…
Rather, this might be an opportunity.
Isn’t this the only time when a spirit with an eccentric personality becomes softer?
“…great! “I will sign a contract.”
Well thought out. Open your soul and accept me!
Perkuntra sent a message to Ihan’s soul.
At that moment, Lee Han was able to learn Perkuntra’s true name.
Lightning Spirit, Perkuntra!
That was the other person’s name.
‘ah. It was the spirit of lightning. ‘So you’re mentally unstable?’
-Now that I have a contract, I can feel your suspicions too! Do it!
‘Oops.’
Each other’s souls became entangled with the mark.
-I recognize you as my companion. You have the authority to call me out. But remember: I am not your servant, and you are not my master.
-I didn’t even think about that.
-Well thought out. You’d better be careful when summoning me. Even if you summon just a part of me, your magical power…
Perkund stopped speaking. When I thought about it, horsepower didn’t have much to do with it.
-…If you summon me without thinking, you won’t be able to summon me when you really need it.
Just because you made a contract with a spirit didn’t mean you could summon the other person when you were bored.
The two have a relationship of mutual respect.
Moreover, a powerful spirit like Perkuntra had even stronger pride. He couldn’t tolerate being called out often.
-Do not worry. There really won’t be any need to summon it.
Lee Han also didn’t want to meet a mentally unstable spirit often.
Perkuntra read the emotions contained in Lee Han’s words and was about to curse.
There was something more urgent.
Now that the contract is complete, I will show you my power!
“What are you going to do?”
This is it!
Perkuntra roared and nestled into Ihan’s arms.
He then did his best to control the flames.
Quickly extinguish that flame! Cancel it!
“??”
Perkuntra’s worries were in vain, and Lee Han easily dispersed the magic power and then released the flames.
Only then was Perkuntra able to breathe a sigh of relief.
you you! Do you have any idea how dangerous you were doing? You foolish little wizard!
Ferkuntra, who was fuming and angry, embarrassed the two young wizards.
Even in the midst of his embarrassment, Yoner asked a key question.
“But… you were trying to gather magic power and convert it into the most destructive element, right?”
……
‘I’m speechless.’
‘I’m speechless.’
Ihan and Yoner could sense that the other had nothing to say.
Anyway, never do that! Because it’s really dangerous!! This punishment room could have completely melted!
Perkuntra’s warning was sincere.
From that sincerity, Lee Han could feel how dangerous the situation had just become.
As Professor Garcia warned, it may be too early for Lee Han to use flame magic.
‘I went to the underworld.’
Professor Garcia didn’t warn me for nothing. Uncontrolled fire magic could kill the caster himself.
Lee Han vowed that he would never use magical energy so ignorantly in the future.
I guess I understand now. Keep this in mind. No matter how outstanding your talent is, it is meaningless if you are swayed by it…
“for a moment. “If I hadn’t asked you to collect it like that in the first place, I don’t think anything dangerous would have happened.”
Lee Han pointed out again.
If Perkuntra hadn’t ordered it, wouldn’t we have been safe?
I tried to sneak away, but it didn’t work for Lee Han.
“Since we have a contract, let me ask you something. Why did you ask me to gather magical power and transform the elements?”
I will open the way. ruler! Look! This is the way out of here. How about it?
The wall opened and a new staircase appeared, but Lee Han did not waver.
I was quite curious.
Perkuntra, cornered, picked up any horse and threw it.
You two young wizards! The sun is rising outside now, so you’re not going to class!
“!”
“!!!”
Ihan and Yoner were astonished.
There is a lecture on <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> on Friday morning!
