Episode 089
“Move.”
The more clumsy and incompetent a wizard was, the louder he waved his wand and the louder he shouted his spells.
The more confident you are, the more you have to act stronger to make your image concrete.
In that respect, Lee Han barely wielded a cane and his voice was as quiet as a whisper.
Although Lee Han himself did not notice it, the effects of Professor Boladi’s rigorous training were clearly evident.
“…!”
Yoner was amazed at how naturally the tasks flew by.
Like birds made out of paper, Ihan and Joner’s thick assignments were gently cutting through the air and approaching the professor’s pile of assignments.
Even though I was simply throwing away an assignment, I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
This seemed like magic on a completely different level from the stiff and choppy <lesser control> magic that Yoner had seen so far.
‘Let’s focus.’
Lee Han concentrated his mind.
It wasn’t just about putting things in a pile of assignments.
I had to avoid getting caught by the professor.
-Concentrate.
It was as if I heard Professor Boladi’s voice in my ears.
“It’s as simple as inserting a piece of paper.”
Professor Boladi’s voice became clearer in my ears.
“But there is a barrier?”
“You will be able to break through. Because I already learned it. yes?”
The voice became clear enough to be burdensome.
This…
It wasn’t the voice I heard in my head.
Lee Han trembled with fear and looked away.
Two professors were staring behind Lee Han.
Thanks to this, Yoner could not even breathe properly.
Professor Boladi said in a cold voice.
“Why are you looking away? “Concentrate.”
Lee Han instinctively turned his head again.
Then the professor next to Professor Boladi, whom I had never seen before, spoke.
“no. “Maybe it would be better to just give up and retreat…”
“Ignore that. You can do it. “Remember what you learned.”
“……”
Lee Han thought about the misfortunes that had happened this week.
No matter how much I think about it, I was extremely unlucky.
Did you get some kind of curse?
‘I couldn’t believe I met professors passing by.’
Professor Garcia would be better, but Professor Boladi.
Lee Han was to the point where he was wondering if he should seriously look for a good luck potion.
“No? “That barrier is more difficult than I thought.”
“can do. do it.”
“Hey, professors… I’m sorry, but could you please unify your opinions and give me some advice…?”
Yoner, who was inferior, spoke up, but the two professors paid no attention.
Professor Boladi told him to do it because he could do it, and a professor he met for the first time advised him to step down.
It was a shocking situation, but Lee Han was still able to find out a few facts.
‘There was a barrier.’
Since it was a pile of assignments floating in the air and chasing the professor around, I naturally thought there would be magic, but I didn’t expect it to be a barrier.
A professor I saw for the first time said.
“That barrier is a barrier that makes a loud noise when someone touches it. You may not feel it, but there are several layers of invisible magic bands spinning around that pile of paper.”
Lee Han heard those words and concentrated to feel the magic.
It was easy to miss because of the enormous magical power emanating from his entire body, but magical power was not the only talent Lee Han had.
In addition to his unrivaled tenacity in life, his thorough calculation ability that did not waver even in moments of crisis, and his useless presence that terrified spirits, his ability to detect magical power was outstanding.
‘see!’
As I concentrated, I could actually feel the magic bands around the stack of paper rotating slowly.
“At the current student level, it can be said that it is close to impossible to approach the magic bands without touching them. So, rather than falling for Professor Bagrek’s words and making reckless attempts, it would be better to wait for the next opportunity. “As you know, Professor Bagrek doesn’t think about students at all.”
‘It really is.’
Lee Han sympathized very much, but he said something different.
“no. “Professors always think of their students.”
“Isn’t that true?”
Professor Boladi purely accepted Lee Han’s words.
If Lee Han had agreed, Professor Boladi would have judged, ‘Oh, I don’t think well of my students.’
However, seeing Lee Han speak like that, Professor Boladi decided that his current teaching method was one that took students into consideration.
There seemed to be no other possibility than that.
“Really? “Your student is really kind.”
“That is not logical. Wardanaz. do it. “The other person is walking.”
“I told you I couldn’t do it…!”
Professor Boladi urged, and a professor he had never met stopped him.

And Lee Han moved.
Pot!
The thick object flew smoothly, passing through the moving bands of magic.
If there had been even the slightest difference, the magic band would have torn and a loud noise would have been made.
Without hesitation, Lee Han sent off the next task. Yoner’s assignment also landed squarely on the pile of assignments.
Joner clapped without realizing it. Professor Boladi nodded his head faintly, almost invisible.
“…Nonsense! how?!”
“Because I learned it.”
“yes. “It’s thanks to the professor’s helpful guidance.”
Lee Han spoke without showing any emotion. Then the professor, seeing him for the first time, was even more impressed.
“Isn’t this really too much of a disciple?! Nice to meet you. Are you Wodanaz? My name is Professor Kirmin Ku. Normally you should shake hands, but I don’t recommend shaking hands with me. “There are racial circumstances.”
Professor Kirmin was the exact opposite of Professor Boladi.
He has a cheerful and lively voice, and is dressed smartly, without a single wrinkle, like a gentleman. It was amazing to have a friendly conversation with Professor Boladi.
“What field do you teach?”
“I am an expert in illusion magic, especially barriers. “You saw it just now, right?”
“!”
Lee Han was pleased.
When I heard him say it, I wondered if he really was an expert in barrier magic.
“I’m already going to be in Professor Garcia’s classroom at least once this semester. “We need to teach students how fun and enjoyable fantasy magic is.”
“Illusion magic is useless.”
“……”
Lee Han was astonished by Professor Boladi’s words.
You’re ignoring another professor’s field.
Isn’t there going to be a duel?
However, Professor Kirmin simply ignored Professor Boladi’s words.
“Tricking a magician above a certain level with fantasy magic is several times more difficult than magic in other fields.”
“okay. I’ve said it a hundred times. But the number of wizards ‘above a certain level’ that you speak of is less than a handful in this vast empire. So wadanaz. “Why did you want to put those wads of paper in there?”
Lee Han thought for about a second.
I looked at the professor’s mood, wondered if lying would work, and made the best decision.
‘It would be better to just be honest.’
“Are you late for submitting your assignment?”
“……”
Yoner blushed with embarrassment. Professor Kirmin also seemed puzzled for an unexpected reason.
‘Just because I was a little late in submitting my assignment?!’
“sorry. professor.”
Lee Han first apologized to Professor Boladi. But Professor Boladi, as expected, did not care.
“why?”
“Is it because your assignment is late?”
“Is this an assignment I gave?”
‘I knew you would.’
“I see.”
Professor Kirmin looked at the two priests as if seeing something strange.
To be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone who can hang out like this with Professor Boladi.
Whether it’s a professor or a student, after just a few minutes of conversation, it’s not strange for them to leave and say, ‘I hope the sun rises above your head, you damn vampire.’
“So what was the lecture?”
“<Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic>.”
“Professor Alpen Knighton?”
Lee Han became nervous when he saw Professor Kirmin saying the other person’s name.
In the face of friendship between professors, promises to students are insignificant…
“Good job. good job. “To be honest, there is nothing to do with that professor’s assignment.”
“???”
Professor Kirmin actually praised Lee Han. Professor Boladi also added a rare comment.
“Professor Alpen Knighton is a wizard who served as a senior imperial administrator. “He is better at manipulating power than magic.”
“Do you know that he cut my research budget in half a long time ago?”
The two professors gritted their teeth and cursed at the <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> professor. Lee Han breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that familiar sight.
Not all professors got along well.
In particular, wizards who pursued the path of pure magic research did not look favorably on wizards who held high-ranking positions and were active in the empire.
The reasons were roughly ‘the purity of magic blah blah’ and ‘the temptation and corruption of the world blah blah’, but in Lee Han’s opinion, it was probably because the latter could touch the budget of the former.
Even a wizard who collapses the sky and splits the earth cannot conduct research if he does not have a research budget.
In that respect, the magicians who worked in high-ranking positions in the empire and reviewed the research budget were the enemies of all other magicians.
-My lifelong sense speaks! This dungeon must be excavated using the entire territory budget. Calling all nearby adventurers…
-Didn’t you say last time that it was a feeling of a lifetime? This agenda is canceled.
-I will kill you! I’ll kill you! You’d better be careful where you go at night!
-If I want to take advantage of my night route, I guess I’ll have to wait in line. There are thirty-three people on the waiting list.
…These dignified conversations happen every year.
However, Lee Han’s thoughts did not change despite the conversation between the two professors.
rather…
‘No, were you a former high-ranking imperial administrator?’
When he heard that the other person was a high-ranking official of the empire, Lee Han’s eyes sparkled.
What does that mean?
Doesn’t that mean he has strong connections in the imperial bureaucracy?
And the highest among Lee Han’s targets were imperial officials.
Lee Han suddenly felt his resentment toward Professor Alpen Knighton disappear like the melting snow.
The sheer amount of work suddenly felt like the responsibility of a high-ranking official carrying the empire.
‘I need to look better as possible from now on.’
“Wardanaz. I heard a rumor that you are very talented. You’d better be careful. So that you don’t get dragged into being an imperial official. “If you are too good, they will send you various temptations.”
Professor Boladi spoke at length with a rare frown.
“Leave the joke there. coup. There’s no way Wardanaz would take such a trivial path of anti-magic.”
“Well, what am I saying? He comes from the Wardanaz family. He will never become an imperial official. yes?”
“……”
Lee Han felt cold sweat running down his back for the first time in a long time.
* * *
After hearing from Professor Kirmin Ku that he would meet him in the next fantasy magic class (Professor Kirmin even recommended that he ignore Professor Voladi’s interruption and learn illusion magic seriously), Lee Han went to the blue dragon with Yoner. I headed to meet my top friends.
Looking at the exchange of glances outside the classroom earlier, it seemed clear that everyone returned safely.
‘Thank goodness.’
Now get the ingredients and make the potion…
“Everyone had a hard time yesterday…”
“Wardanaz! “Gainando has been kidnapped!”
“!”
As soon as the Blue Dragon Tower students who had gathered in front of the tower saw Lee Han, they rushed to him.
It was a mess, as if everyone had been fighting just now.
Lee Han asked in surprise.
“To whom? Could it be to the White Tiger Tower guys?”
“no! To the released summoner!!”
Lee Han tried to reassure himself but then stopped.
When I thought about it, it was not a situation to feel safe about.
