Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 015

‘But it’s difficult.’

Manipulating the orb with will wasn’t usually difficult.

Just like the student who was hit by the marble he controlled earlier, the marble jumped out at will even if he let go of his concentration.

A strange feeling, like a new third arm.

Fortunately, Lee Han didn’t have to worry about collapsing due to lack of magic power.

In fact, even if I kept drawing circles with floating marbles, I didn’t feel any loss of magic power.

“……”

Professor Voladi didn’t say anything and just stared at Lee Han.

‘Is it because he doesn’t have enough magic power?’

Lee Han wondered why the professor was staring at him.

It couldn’t have been because Lee Han manipulated the marble so fast and well (even in Lee Han’s eyes, the circle was a little crooked), and he didn’t even know that he was amazed at how he controlled the marble without getting tired for so long.

‘no. They’re just staring at me because there’s no one there.’

However, Lee Han belatedly realized that the professor was staring at him without thinking.

If the amount of magic power is amazing, I would have just asked a question!

In fact, since there is only Lee Han in the classroom, there will be no place to put your eyes. Lee Han concentrated on spinning the marble hard whether the professor was looking at him or not.

I’m not sure what this means…

‘Let’s think that if you roll hard, you get a grade.’

A magical orb that gives out credits when rolled round and round.

If you think like that, you can do anything.

Lee Han was overly accustomed to enduring unreasonable work under a professor.

* * *

‘It’s amazing.’

Professor Voladi was very curious.

Of course, it wasn’t revealed at all with his expression, but he felt a strange feeling after a long time.

The freshman in front of him was the reason.

Every year, new students enter < repetitive learning of basic magic combat > like an ebb and flow, and then disappear like an ebb.

Last year, no one heard of it.

But Professor Voladi didn’t care.

The contract he made with the principal, Osu Gonadaltes, was ‘Please give lectures on < repetitive learning of basic magic battles > every year’, not ‘gather a lot of students’.

In fact, even if there were no students, Professor Boladi would sit in the lecture room at the appointed time, put a marble on it, wait for it, and get up only after the lecture was over.

Others may not understand this, but this was Professor Voladi’s principle.

The times accumulated repeatedly in that way.

Breaking that repetition, an unusual new student appeared today.

A handsome boy with a sculptural appearance with thick lines.

Just looking at it, I could tell that he was a student at the Blue Dragon Tower.

Judging by his behavior and accent, he was probably from a great imperial family.

By the way…

I kept concentrating on spinning the marbles round and round without complaining.

Even the Black Tortoise Tower students, who have the lowest social status, rushed out of the lecture saying, “Why are you doing this?”, but it was unusual for the Blue Dragon Tower students to calmly concentrate.

Besides, as he kept spinning the marble, he didn’t show any sign of difficulty yet.

It was clear that he had an innate amount of magical power.

In fact, if Professor Voladi had been acquainted with the other professors, and had talked to Professor Garcia Kim, the troll professor, he would have heard at least a rough idea of Lee Han’s magical power.

However, Professor Boladi did not bother with the other professors.

Because there was no such thing in the contract with the principal.

So, Professor Voladi only guessed that Lee Han had a lot of magic power, but he didn’t notice exactly how much.

‘I wish I could stay.’

For the first time, Prof. Ballardi wants students to remain seated while lecturing.

If that student continued to listen, Professor Voladi would also be able to move on to the next content for the first time in the history of lectures.

“Did you find a really good lecture?”

Lee Han said seriously.

Originally, Lee Han did not show kindness like this, but Yoner and Gainando were a bit of an exception.

Yoner could have become a business partner later, and Gainando could have his mother give him friend money later.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with treating good friends in the family.

“I don’t think there are any students who will come to hear more of this. If you hear it, you must see it as an A+ reservation.”

“…Uhm…”

Yoner’s face showed a very worried expression, ‘How can I refuse Lee Han’s proposal well?’

I really want to avoid a lecture that no one listens to even if I hear the name, but I am sorry that I refused to recommend it like that, and what should I do?

“…no. It’s okay if you don’t want to hear it.”

Lee Han said to Yoner.

I didn’t mean to force you to listen.

I just recommended it because I liked the fact that I could eat one subject raw in a semester

… Tell me more.”

On the other hand, Kainando seemed to be tempted.

“What are you teaching?”

“There is a bead artifact the professor made, inject magic into it and float it.”

“oh. After that?”

“I practice drawing it and making a circle.”

“Right. After that?”

“No.”

“……”

“……”

Yoner and Gainando looked at Lee Han as if they were absurd.

“Isn’t that… a fake professor by any chance?”

“Fake or real, what do you know? It’s important that you score me.”

Yoner was amazed.

Even when she entered the school, Yoner thought this way.

-Am I the one who thinks most pragmatically among the students here?

Apparently, many of the Blue Dragon Tower students came from great families, so there were quite a few cases where their way of thinking was completely blocked.

Yoner had felt it many times.

However, while talking with Lee Han, I felt that the world is wide and the sky is high.

That boy from the Wardanaz family was practically insane.

Even Yoner couldn’t follow!

“Well, I can’t help it if you don’t want to hear it. Next is < Basic Swordsmanship >.”

“…Jin really want to hear that too??”

“Wardanaz. I don’t think it’s really that bad…”

Even when his friends tried to stop him, Lee Han didn’t listen.

If it’s not a mandatory lecture, I’ll choose it based on my own criteria.

Because that was the rule of this magic school Ein Lorgard!

‘Doesn’t it really need to dry?’

Kainando seriously contemplated whether to run to the principal and seek counseling.

* * *

The basic swordsmanship lecture had a lot more students than the repetitive learning of basic magic combat.

At first glance, more than ten students were gathered in the front yard on the south side of the main building, waiting for the professor.

‘no. Aren’t there surprisingly many?’

Surprised, Lee Han quickly realized the reason.

The students here were the students of < The Tower of the White Tiger Biting the Lightning >.

The White Tiger Tower students come from an imperial knight family and come here to learn magic.

Of course, as he came from a family of knights, he was proficient in swordsmanship and had a much more serious attitude.

Even if students from other families learned swordsmanship, they did not intend to come here to learn swordsmanship, but the students of the White Tiger Tower were against it.

‘Well, the repetitive learning of basic magic combat was eating too raw.’

Lee Han was slightly disappointed, but when he thought about it, the lecture where he was given first place was unusual, so it wasn’t bad at all.

Besides, hadn’t Lee Han been constantly learning swordsmanship?

“…what?”

“Aren’t you from the tower of the blue dragon?”

Just as Lee Han was surprised, the White Tiger Tower students were also surprised and whispering.

He hadn’t expected other dorm students to come.

“I know who that guy is. You are from the Wardanaz family.”

“The Wardanaz family…! Aren’t you the famous magician of the empire?”

“But why is a person from such a family taking this lecture?”

“Didn’t you come here because you learned a little swordsmanship from a tutor in your family?”

“There’s a certain level of underestimating swordsmanship.”

Most of the students showed a strong reluctance.

Although there were differences between them, the students of the White Tiger Tower were basically those who took pride in their swordsmanship and practiced it seriously.

On the other hand, learning swordsmanship from other noble families is just for self-defence and for culture purposes, and is only lightly scratching the surface.

I couldn’t help but feel rejected when I came to the lecture with that feeling.

Lee Han also noticed such reactions.

‘What do you know?’

And of course I didn’t care.

At most, Lee Han wasn’t stupid enough to get caught up in the childish warfare of teenage children and react to them one by one.

“hey.”

As Lee Han ignored the responses, one of the students eventually stepped forward.

A well-trained physique worthy of being from a knight’s family.

In addition, when the muscles unique to the Orc race were combined, the overbearing lines were revealed even over the shabby rag school uniform.

The opponent stood in front of Lee Han and looked straight up.

Lee Han also looked at me as if asking me what to do.

It was a rather formidable-looking orc, but Lee Han had too much experience to be intimidated by something like this.

“Do you have something to say?”

“okay. A member of the Blue Dragon Tower from the Wardanaz family. Am I right?”

“That’s right.”

“It looks like you got it wrong, but this is a serious swordsmanship lecture. It’s not a lecture that teaches you how to wield a weapon just for looks.”

“Right. thanks for letting me know.”

“……”

Even if he said it nicely, when Lee Han ignored it, the orc’s expression frowned.

“I don’t think you understood it well, but real swordsmanship lessons aren’t just about wielding swords that high-ranking aristocrats like you do. We will split them up and do sparring, but if we do something wrong at that time, we could seriously get hurt. The other students here won’t touch you.”

“okay. If I ever deal with you, I’ll be careful not to hurt you. If that’s what you’re worried about.”

“……”

Orc was a beat late in understanding Lee Han’s words. After belatedly understanding Lee Han’s words, the orc’s face turned red.

Then a small coughing sound was heard.

The professor who will teach the lecture has arrived.

“ruler. Everyone. Would you like us to gather?”

The professor’s voice was soft and kind, but his appearance was the exact opposite.

Despite being basically a race of elves born with beauty, the appearance of the professor created a sense of intimidation.

It was a sense of intimidation created by the scars and scars covering the whole body, starting with the face.

One arm and one leg were prosthetic, and one eye was a different size than the one next to it because of a scar.

“I am Professor Ingeldell. During this semester, I will teach you swordsmanship.”

Prof. Elf continued talking while holding the long sword like a cane.

“Perhaps all of you who dare to learn swordsmanship in this Einrogard will have their own experience of learning swordsmanship. They are probably here to improve their skills or to keep them from rusting.”

Lee Han was slightly stabbed. Of course, that’s not bad, but it was more because of the grades.

“That’s why I won’t teach you swordsmanship from scratch. It would be better for each of us to hone our swordsmanship.”

The students from knight families listened attentively to Professor Elf’s words with shining eyes.

They were students who were still unfamiliar with magic.

To those students, the story of swordsmanship had to sound much more plausible than the story of magic.

Toktok-

“?”

Lee Han turned his head. Someone was tapping Lee Han’s arm.

Although they were of the same race of elves as Professor Ingeldell, their images were completely opposite.

The opponent had golden hair that was short enough to reach the nape of his neck, and had a thin, neutral and beautiful appearance.

‘He looks popular with women.’

“What is going on?”

“From the Wardanaz family. Right? I’m from the Wardanaz family, so I’m curious about why you want to learn swordsmanship.”

The other party spoke lightly but not frivolously.

Unlike the students who quarreled earlier, I felt that he was good at dealing with people.

“It seemed good to score because there were few people listening.”

“……”
