Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 006

This was known because he was constantly taught swordsmanship by the family’s old knight, Allarron, and he himself was well-versed in martial arts.

Yoner’s current posture was the one on the verge of defeating people!

“for a moment. for a moment.”

Lee Han intervened between the two and stopped them.

“Don’t neglect alchemy. Guinan Island.”

“But alchemy is trivial.”

Kainando said with a face that couldn’t grasp the atmosphere at all.

“Where is the wisdom there?”

Magic was an endless and limitless science. Even within it, schools were divided into dozens.

Illusion magic, summoning magic, transformation magic, elemental magic, and so on.

And even with the same elemental magic, fire, water, light, darkness, etc.

The world of magic is so profound that it is not enough to pick one field and dig into it for the rest of your life.

And in such a magical world, alchemy was sometimes ignored.

In the eyes of the new wizards, alchemy is a bit…

plain.

Others wield their staffs to summon the angels of light and tear up the ground, but since they were confined to the lab, adding herbs and combining drugs…

“That’s…”

“Wait a minute. Wodanaz. Get out of the way for a bit.”

Yoner asked Lee Han.

“Because I won’t do anything.”

“okay.”

When Lee Han stepped aside, Yoner walked and stood in front of Gainando.

Gainando tilted his head.

“why?”

“Don’t go to the hospital room and ask for potions. It’s also made with alchemy!”

Fuck!

With a dull sound, Guinando fell backwards.

It was a wonderful punch that Lee Han admired.

“But was it okay to lose?”

“It doesn’t matter if you apologize after a day or so.”

It seemed that this was not the first time Yoner had beaten Gainando.

Cousins fight a lot, but I never thought it would be okay to lose like this.

‘I just dried it.’

Lee Han promised that if the two of them fight in the future, he will not stop them and watch them from the side.

“…for a moment. It’s embarrassing to misunderstand, but I don’t hit people easily. You know what I mean?”

Yoner hastily apologized for misunderstanding.

Nobility, and the more traditional and large the family, the more important etiquette and dignity were.

It was not a dignified act to punch someone for arguing with them.

“Can’t you punch a little bit when you’re pissed off?”

“???”

Yoner was more taken aback by Lee Han’s words.

‘Does the Wardanaz family have rules like that?’

I don’t know if it’s a knight family, but I can’t believe that the leading family in the empire defends such a punch.

I didn’t quite understand.

‘He must be a little different.’

Yoner understood that.

Certainly, among the aristocrats who entered with him, Lee Han seemed to have a unique reputation.

Everyone says they come from an aristocratic family, but they are novices who have just become adults.

Among those fledglings, Lee Han stood out. From the way he behaved to the way he spoke, something was different.

Indeed, he was from the Wardanaj family.

Yoner changed the topic. Lee Han said it would pass, but there was no need to hold on to it.

“Anyway, is it really okay to listen to alchemy? If you go together because of me, it’s really okay to go alone.”

“no. I am also interested in alchemy.”

“Oh… are you interested in the offer to do business together?”

“I’m thinking about that too.”

“!”

Yoner was rather surprised by the unexpected reaction.

I never thought I’d change my mind in that short amount of time.

“What happened?” “Ugh. That’s…”

Lee Han wondered what to say.

– I don’t seem to be surprisingly talented in magic, so I think I need to seriously think about the alchemy business.

To say … was too cheesy for someone from an aristocratic family.

“no. are you okay. I know even if you don’t speak You realized the value of alchemy after thinking about it.”

“huh?”

“Alchemy is a really fun discipline, isn’t it?”

“Uh… well… that’s right.”

Yihan seemed to be excited for some reason, so Lee Han agreed.

“People often think of alchemy as being unable to come out of an underground alchemy workshop, but the world of alchemy is much broader and more profound.”

“Yes.”

Lee Han was not taken aback.

Hearing about stories he wasn’t interested in was a skill he had honed since his graduate school days.

-Do you like hiking?

-yes? That’s…

– Yeah. Climbing is really good. Did I tell you about my trip to Mt. Seorak last year? Through the dawn fog, through the clouds…

– Yes. yes.

-…I never thought it would be so much fun. I bet you enjoy hiking too. Let’s go together sometime!

-……

Compared to that experience, Yoner’s story belonged to the fun side.

“Did you study alchemy beforehand when you were in the Meikin family?”

In response to Lee Han’s question, Yoner unconsciously looked around.

“…huh. But it’s a secret. I didn’t make them learn magic beforehand, but they didn’t strictly ban alchemy.”

“You can prepare in advance.”

“……”

Yoner once again looked at Lee Han in confusion.

Punching is OK, even ignoring the rule that says don’t learn magic until you’re an adult…

He was a really unique person.

‘It’s good that you studied beforehand.’

Lee Han was well aware of how helpful a friend who studied well was.

If Yoner knew alchemy well, he could get help and get good grades.

“Then could you teach me too?”

“…of course!”

When Lee Han said he wanted to learn alchemy, Yoner smiled broadly and tapped Lee Han’s shoulder with the palm of his hand.

< Understanding Basic Alchemy >.

Since it was Lee Han who had met a half-troll professor in his understanding of basic magic, he didn’t seem to be surprised if any professor showed up now.

And I wasn’t really surprised.

‘Doesn’t he look very ordinary?’

The one in the seat was a short dwarf. The Dwarf, dressed as a hunter or ranger, even wore a crossbow on his waist.

“Are you all here?”

“Ugh. There are also students from the Tower of the Black Turtle.”

Yoner murmured.

It wasn’t that Yoner was ignoring commoners, but it was true that he was uncomfortable.

If the Blue Dragon Tower students listened to each other, there was no discomfort through talking to each other… but when

other Tower students listened together, it became nerve-wracking in many ways.

Besides, there seemed to be more students from the Tower of the Black Turtle.

‘I’m worried about the gaze.’

When people from commoners met people from aristocrats, there were usually two reactions.

One is afraid and does not want to be involved.

The other reveals hostility.

Outside of school, the latter would be difficult to see, but this was in a school where ‘equality’ was the ideology.

Normally, I had a grudge against nobles condescending, but even after entering the school, the new aristocrats of < Blue Dragon's Tower > laughed at me like they looked down on me, so I couldn’t help but feel hostility.

“hey. stop staring Besides, there’s someone from the Wardanaz family over there.”

“whatever? Even the Wodanaz family can’t touch the inside of the school.”

“You’re not going to live in school for the rest of your life. What if I get retaliated against when I go out?” “It’s okay to think about it at that time.”

“……”

Lee Han clicked his tongue.

It wasn’t very pleasant to live with resentment for something you didn’t do yourself.

‘Attempting to pretend to be friendly would only have the opposite effect.’

I thought I should hang out with the students of < Blue Dragon Tower > for a while.

“All quiet.”

The short dwarf professor opened his mouth. Although he was short in stature, his voice was powerful just by hearing it.

“My name is Thunderstruck Gold. Feel free to call me Professor Wooreeul. Probably everyone is thinking the same thing. Why did we gather in a grassy field with no desks like this when there are such wonderful school buildings behind it?”

It was.

Surprisingly, the place where they had gathered to listen to < Understanding Basic Alchemy > was not the school building, but the hill outside.

Princess Adenart raised her hand. Thunderstruck shrugged.

“It wasn’t a question I was looking for an answer to. okay. tell me.”

“To feel the mana of nature.”

There was a prejudice that it was okay to just mix reagents and herbs as prescribed, but alchemy also needed magic.

Feeling the mana of nature and realizing what kind of power it has is an important thing for an alchemist as well.

“It’s not?”

…But the dwarf professor looked at Adenart as if he was saying something absurd.

Adenart’s pale face blushed slightly and lowered his head.

Lee Han asked Yoner without thinking.

“Isn’t that why we asked people to gather here because they like to gather ingredients?”

“Could that be the reason?”

“oh. answer!”

“……”

Lee Han and Yoner looked at the dwarf professor as if they were absurd.

However, Thunder Step looked at Lee Han with an admiring expression and said.

“Iron heads that hit right are rare.”

“Not an iron head, but a freshman…”

“Yes. okay. Iron head freshman. well done anyway You have the talent of an outstanding alchemist.”

At the dwarf professor’s praise, Yoner looked at Lee Han with envy.

And Adenart also slightly glared at Lee Han.

As if I saw a rival.

‘…No, this isn’t something to stare at.’

Lee Han was dumbfounded.

If nothing else, do you want to be jealous of being praised for an answer like this?

“The reason I asked them to gather here is to tell the Iron Heads what abilities are needed for alchemy. Perhaps the ironheads here think so. ‘The abilities required for alchemy are outstanding intelligence and delicate mana control’.”

‘uh? Does alchemy require delicate mana control?’

Lee Han, who was listening, flinched.

“But the reality is different. The most necessary skill for an alchemist is the ability to gather materials.”

“……”

“……”

The wizards gathered at the Dwarf Professor’s words were bewildered.

It was a completely unexpected ability.

Adenart raised his hand as if he was not convinced.

“professor. You can grow and grow materials or reagents yourself, or you can ask adventurers to get them. It seems absurd that an alchemist has to find it himself…

”

Adenart’s face, which was already slightly red, turned a little redder. Professor Dwarf Thunderwalker tutted and said.

“Do you know how much you can get by growing the materials and reagents that alchemists use? Not even 10%! Everything else has to be bought with money. And is it worth spending all that money to buy? Do you know why wizards join a party to follow them directly when they hire an adventurer? It’s not because there’s too much time, but if you leave it alone with the adventurers, you won’t be able to pick up the herbs! Herbs that need to be picked carefully and preciously are just roughly pulled out by the roots!”

Thunderwalker spoke very ferociously, probably because he had a lot of grudges.

“In that sense, alchemists must unconditionally know how to obtain materials and reagents on their own. An alchemist who only depends on others will never succeed. If you whine about not having materials for later research, who will find them for you?”

At Professor Dwarf’s words, the gathered students nodded their heads with a somewhat sympathetic expression (and with a stunned expression).

“ruler. That should have explained everything. Then go and find him.”

“yes?”

“What are you? Spread out and find the ingredients.”

Thunderwalker swung his staff. Paper appeared in the air and flew to the wizards one by one.

On the paper was a picture of a greenish herb.
