Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 013

“Wodanaz…”

“No, you came to school to learn magic.”

Lee Han unknowingly made excuses. Asan’s eyes looking at him were full of betrayal.

“Well… I came to learn magic.”

“And think about it. Do you think the principal will be persuaded by the two of us?”

“It’s not like that either.”

Asan agreed.

Certainly, being able to convince Principal Rich seemed a bit difficult to Asan.

“Even in my opinion, it seems like it will fail with a 95% chance.”

“It’s more surprising that the success rate is 5%…”

Anyway, as Asan seemed to agree, Lee Han concentrated on reading the paper with the description of the < Low Control > spell.

In order to cast magic, the important things are will, spells, and movements.

-The following are good spells to use for < Low Manipulation >. Move, move, control…

“Move. Move. hmm. Is it like this?”

After choosing a spell that suited his lips, Lee Han tried to copy the movements.

It was a motion of lightly swinging the staff in a clockwise direction, but the mana gathered differently each time.

‘Magic is really… not usually difficult.’

Lee Han felt once again how difficult magic is.

Mastering even the simplest spells required a high degree of concentration and practice.

Concentrating his will to cast the magic, he had to memorize the spell to further amplify his mana, and at the same time, he had to move the gathered mana accurately without the slightest error.

It was like riding a unicycle and having to perform a feat of spinning a plate with each hand.

“Wardanaz. By the way, didn’t Professor Kim tell you not to practice magic outside the classroom?”

“But the principal told me to do it. The principal is higher.”

“I see…”

Asan was convinced once again.

Of course, it wasn’t that the amount of magic power that I didn’t understand was suddenly created.

After about four attempts, Asan staggered and lay down on his side.

“Ugh… I’m sorry. Wodanaz. Suddenly motion sickness… Ugh.”

“Things like that happen, too. Lie down.”

Either that or not, Lee Han was immersed in < lower control >.

“Move, move, move, move!”

I felt the energy gathered at the tip of the staff shooting out like a ‘pot’.

The target is a feather pen.

The enchanted feather pen twitched or trembled.

‘There seems to be a problem with the motion.’

Lee Han’s weapon is an overwhelming amount of magical power.

While other people took a break from exhaustion after casting a few spells, Lee Han was able to practice the spell without hesitation.

Tak- Lee

Han put the mirror in front of him and began to cast a spell. It was to see the difference in motion with my own eyes.

‘Are you swinging a little less here? Let’s swing a little less. I think I’ve gotten better. Is this the next one?’

“Wardanaz. Are you okay?”

Asan, who was lying down, groaned and asked. Lee Han nodded.

“As expected, the Wardanaz family… ok. I’m dizzy and can’t turn my head…”

“Move!”

For a moment, Lee Han felt that his mind was interlocked with the feather pen.

It feels like a third hand has reached out and grabbed the feather.

The feather pen, which had been flinching or quivering until just now, began to emerge.

Now I just need to focus on controlling it.

‘Slowly, don’t rush…’

Pang! There was the sound of a small firecracker exploding, and then the feather pen shot out like a dart.

Then it flew out of the open window.

“……”

“What… what did you do?”

“…the feather pen flew away??”

“Very… that’s great, wordanaz!? Did you succeed in magic?!”

“No, I haven’t succeeded yet.”

< Lesser Manipulation > is a telekinesis-type 1st circle magic that delicately manipulates small and light objects.

…Even though Lee Han doesn’t know much about magic yet, shooting a feather pen like he just did was definitely a failure.

‘This magic had two obstacles to overcome.’

< Lesser Manipulation > didn’t end with a successful spell by correctly matching the movements.

After that, I had to concentrate and control the object.

Lee Han was successful with the first, but not yet successful with the second.

‘But it’ll be fine. Since the order was successful, the control itself shouldn’t be too difficult.’

phut!

phut!

Pang pang pang pang pang pang pang!

“……”

Asan Dalcard looked at Lee Han with a shocked expression.

A feather pen flew in and stuck to the wall next to it.

“Woah… Wardanaz…”

“…Sorry.”

Lee Han just regretted the confidence he had.

Surprisingly, detailed control was not possible.

The moment I thought to move even a little, the feather pen flew away like a shot.

Almost memorization level!

‘Couldn’t be… It’s probably not because of magic.’

Han Lee remembered what Professor Garcia Kim had told him.

I was told that casting magic would be a bit inconvenient because I had a lot more magic than normal people…

‘Let’s try it one more time.’

Click- Now,

did you write hard today? You can rejoice! I’ll write the rest with magic.

The door opened and Principal Rich appeared.

ping!

And the feather pen shot by Lee Han flew right at Principal Rich’s forehead.

“Wardanaz…!”

At that moment, Lee Han became a hero to Asan Dalcard.

A freshman attacking the principal?

really so cool!

* * *

Surprisingly, Principal Rich wasn’t angry.

I found it a lot sooner than I thought. I’ll admit that I’m a bit of a good ironhead.

“oh. Then, will I not have to do this pointless note-taking in the future?”

no. If you guys don’t master magic, you’ll continue to waste your time pointlessly.

Asan Dalcard glared at the principal. The headmaster grinned as if he was very happy.

Lee Han asked cautiously.

“I respect you, Principal!”

Where is the sound of sweet flattery coming from? What?

“May I ask about the tips for piloting?”

Looking at what you did earlier, the order itself seems to have been successful. Was it difficult to control?

“yes.”

A lot of new mages do.

“ah. Is that so?”

Lee Han was relieved.

I thought it was because he had a lot of magic, but it was something that all first-time learners of magic experienced.

haha! It’s a lie!

“……”

The spell is difficult, and it usually only takes one or two maneuvers. There is no one who blows like an arrow like you. What can I do? You have to work hard and do well.

‘The opponent is the principal. Opponent is the principal. The opponent is the principal…’

Lee Han struggled to control his expression. Principal Rich was very sorry to see that.

It was very interesting for Asan Dalcard to get angry when pricked like a young man, but that young man from the Wardanaz family was not normal for his patience, as if an old man had stepped inside.

There’s nothing to be too afraid of The more you use magic, the more it will grow. Go and have lunch!

* * *

Thanks to being detained from the end of the morning lecture until lunchtime, all the other freshmen went to listen to other lectures or to find them.

Asan Dalcard left to go to the hospital room to rest, as if his magic power had not yet recovered.

‘I guess I’ll have lunch too.’

For lunch, it was hard black bread and cold rice balls, but Lee Han was much better. Because there was meat that was caught and smoked the other day.

‘I should look for some vegetables or fruits outside…’

I wasn’t sure at first, but I seriously thought that the principal had prepared it.

Wouldn’t the smart students go around looking for something to eat?

“…Wardanaz.” “?”

Hearing the voice calling him, Lee Han turned his head.

A cold impression that makes you flinch the moment you run into long silver hair.

Princess Adenart was standing in front of the corridor.

“What is it?”

Instead of answering, Adenart pointed at the paper he was holding with his finger.

“…ah!”

Lee Han realized why the princess was calling.

He had asked the princess, who had a much wider network than Lee Han, because she had helped her in alchemy class the other day.

‘I asked for some useful lectures.’

Aside from the required lectures, the freshmen of Einrogard had to find and take the rest of the subjects on their own.

However, it is at the level of picking stars in the sky for freshmen to find such things on their own.

As it was a situation where they couldn’t even meet the sophomores, it was necessary to exchange information even among the freshmen in order to find out.

The princess held out a piece of paper with her characteristic blunt expression.

“thank you. … hmm?”

Lee Han, who happily received the paper and read it, hesitated.

-List of popular lectures-

< Basic understanding of alchemy >

< Basic imperial linguistics >

< Basic dance and socializing >

…

First of all, the ‘understanding of alchemy’ is questionable, and the names of the other lectures are also something Lee Han thought. was different from

And not ‘getting good grades’ but ‘popular’?

“That princess?”

“?”

“What exactly do you mean by popular lecture?”

“??”

The princess slightly collapsed her expression as if she was taken aback for a moment and raised her eyebrows.

Lee Han felt the need to explain further.

“Princess. What I asked was a good class to get grades in, not a popular class. Rather, it would be easier to get a grade for an unpopular lecture.”

A prepared student, Lee Han was not swayed by popularity or rumors.

Popular lecture – > A lecture that is difficult to get grades because outstanding talents flock to it.

Less popular lectures – > Less competitors, so good grades.

Of course, the princess did not agree with Lee Han’s unique theory.

“……”

Adenart looked at Lee Han in disbelief.

You were really looking for a lecture that you could eat raw.

I couldn’t figure out why someone from the Wodanaz family was looking for such a lecture.

Adenart was unknowingly disappointed.

Even when I saw it in alchemy class, Wodanaz’s appearance was the most aristocratic…

Suck-

Adenart held out another piece of paper.

It was a list of unpopular lectures that I had taken notes of to avoid while organizing.

-List of unpopular lectures-

< Basic swordsmanship >

< Basic physical strength training >

< Repetitive learning of basic magic combat >

…

‘Ohh.’

Lee Han admired the list.

I could already smell the unpopular lecture.

swordsmanship once.

There were not many people who wanted to learn new swordsmanship by entering the magic school.

Even if he devoted himself to magic, he would not have enough time, so who wants to learn swordsmanship?

Physical training was similar. Even with magic, time is tight, but no one wanted to use their bodies unnecessarily.

It wasn’t for nothing that wizards were teased for being weak.

< Repetitive learning of magic battle > was also bound to be unpopular.

Learning magic was to realize great truths and learn how to change the world, not to be good at fighting.

If that was the case, it was correct to go under a knight or swordsmanship guild and receive training.

Students here come with their own dreams and goals, but none of them come with the goal of becoming the best in the fight with magic.

The most important thing was to learn magic, but it was not so important to use that magic in battle.

‘But what do you know?’

Of course, Lee Han didn’t care about that perception at all.

Swordsmanship and physical training were areas that Lee Han was confident in, starting with his name.

Because even before entering the magic school, he had been constantly training under Allarron.

And the repetitive learning of magic combat was also like that.

There was nothing wrong with learning how to fight with magic.

Wouldn’t that be one more way to save one’s own life?

It’s easy to get credits in lectures with little competition…

“Thank you. Princess.”

“……”

Adenart nodded with an expressionless face instead of answering.

There was a slight disappointment and contempt on his face, but Lee Han didn’t notice it because he was concentrating on the lecture.

“Then see you next time!”

Lee Han quickly turned around and left. The princess was about to say something, but she let out a small breath and turned around.
