Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Episode 891

But Saratan didn’t ask, ‘What did I say?’

If the spirit under my command had said, ‘What did I say!’ in this situation, I would have launched an onslaught right away.

The opposing wizard was a tyrant with a temper just as violent as Saratan. When the odds were against you, you had to be careful.

-lol. I am so glad that the misunderstanding has been resolved…

Saratan, enduring humiliation, flattered.

Lee Han got angry again at the flattery.

“Why are you wasting all of our time by not explaining properly?”

“that’s right. that’s right.”

“Scold me more. Wodanaz!”

The friends blamed the spirits without any conscience. While living in Einrogard, this level of avoidance of responsibility was standard.

-……

Saratan’s anger rose once again, but he could not help it.

“If you had made new shoots sooner, there wouldn’t have been this misunderstanding.”

-This power is not that easy to use… I haven’t fully recovered yet…

Saratan was mortified by the wizard’s tyrannical instructions and made an excuse.

The sprout filled with power that Saratan created overnight was by no means easy.

Saratan immediately regained consciousness thanks to switching to a powerful divine tree, but his strength was not fully restored.

Originally, it would have taken a few more days, but the owner was so upset that he had to hurry. I had to rest for a while to regain my strength.

“hmm. “For that matter, you tried to kill me too easily last time.”

-That…the situation was a little different…it was the world of consciousness…

and Saratan was fed up.

I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if I attacked this wizard twice and got caught.

“ah. Junior! “Welcome.”

Caton, a 5th grade senior from the Jahan family who was always polite to his juniors, greeted Lee Han.

The cat beastman who takes off his hat and greets people had the effect of alleviating people’s wariness, like the penguin beastman or the beaver beastman.

However, Lee Han, who was trained at Einroguard, was not fooled by such appearances.

‘Let’s remember what you attacked us last time.’

I felt a shiver down my spine when I thought of Caton, who had pushed in with just his swordsmanship even though Yukbeltire and Direth were together the other day.

As Professor Ingalldel said, he was a senior who would have achieved much more brutal achievements if he had focused only on swordsmanship.

“hello. Seniors. How will the [Sword and Life] lecture exam proceed next week?”

“Oh. “I can’t tell you that.”

“Is this something I shouldn’t know?”

It was Saturday and next week was the exam, but there were professors who kept the exam content a secret.

If Caton is that kind of person…

“No. “It’s because I haven’t decided yet.”

Caton answered, scratching the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed expression. Jo Woo-rin, who was watching from behind, was embarrassed.

Is that okay?

For Jo Woo-rin, who came to see other 5th graders first, the exam was in a few days, and the catton that hadn’t been decided yet was quite refreshing.

Can I do that?

Of course it didn’t work.

“In the first place, it wouldn’t work. majesty. Umm. “I’m embarrassed!”

Jo Woo-rin thinks she should decide first before becoming embarrassed…

“Shh. majesty. All 5th grade seniors have their own circumstances. Please understand.”

When Jo Woo-rin launched an additional attack, Lee Han quickly stopped him.

The 5th grade seniors were basically pitiful people. You had to be merciful when dealing with it.

“Junior. Don’t misunderstand. It’s not like I didn’t think about it at all. “Originally, the [Sword and Life] exam was traditionally thought of.”

“oh. “What is that?”

“You’re teaching me a magic trick.”

“……”

Lee Han was speechless at the exam goal, which was even more shameless than Professor Verdus’s.

Of course, Caton’s reason for giving the [Sword and Life] lecture was to find people who could teach each other, but is it still okay for the test to be this explicit?

“Isn’t the principal angry? “You’re secretly strict in this area.”

“You’re angry. That’s why I always ended up in the punishment room.”

“……”

Jo Woo-rin slowly took a step back.

Slowly, I felt madness in the other person.

‘hmm. A person who is prepared to enter the punishment room is truly fearsome.’

The reason Professor Verdus and Professor Bendozol were strong was because they were both prepared to go into the punishment room.

And Catton was one step ahead. He enjoyed being in the punishment room.

“…But if it was originally a test, why did it suddenly change to undecided?”

“Junior. “There is a reason for that.”

Caton nodded and opened his mouth.

Since joining Einrogard, Caton has always focused only on his work.

In order to fight with other top students who were sent to the punishment room after their friends were caught while escaping, he brought out an ancient evil monster and studied magic alone in silence.

The innocent juniors of the White Tiger Tower wanted to take the [Sword and Life] lecture, but Catton refused for a similar reason.

The student Catton needed was one who would teach him magic, not one who would only learn swordsmanship.

But Caton’s thoughts have changed a bit these days.

“Other professors said this. Studying magic on your own is not the only way to improve your skills. Teaching and helping someone can also be enlightening. Even if it means teaching swordsmanship and not magic.”

‘is it?’

Lee Han wondered if other professors were deceiving Caton.

Considering Caton’s current situation, it seemed unlikely that teaching swordsmanship to other students would improve his magic skills.

I couldn’t even imagine what I had to do to climb in the first place…

“Hmm. “I thought it was a trick.”

“!”

Caton seemed to be thinking the same thing as Lee Han.

“I heard this a lot for a long time, but I didn’t really believe it.”

“Why?”

“It was suggested by the principal, so I thought he was just sugar-coating it to force me to teach.”

“……”

Indeed, Caton had excellent instincts.

Just by looking at who was speaking, he could sense the subtle deception behind it.

“for a moment. But why did you change your mind? “Sounds like a reasonable guess, right?”

“It’s because of two things. First, look at your junior. “Even though I teach students and even do chores, I’m not at the top of my grade.”

“……”

indeed!

Jo Woo-rin was impressed.

According to a dwarven proverb, diamonds are made in the deepest, darkest places in the mines.

Perhaps Lee Han’s magic was created in the harshest environment in Einrogard…

“What is it? What is it?”

Lee Lee Han. Are you mad…?

“I’m not angry.”

Jo Woo-rin looked at me and crouched down. Lee Han felt weak and patted Jo Woo-rin’s wings.

“Anyway, senior. First of all, the first reason seems a bit strange… but what is the second reason?”

“You’re right behind me. “It’s because of Professor Bagrek.”

“??”

Even as Lee Han grunted, he looked at Professor Boladi in surprise.

“Did the professor give you any advice?”

“ah. That’s not it. Junior. However, I have long thought that the reason Professor Bagrek was strong was because he did not waste time taking care of his students.”

“……”

“It’s a misunderstanding.”

Professor Boladi spoke briefly and Caton nodded.

“you’re right. professor. I guess I was mistaken. “I was confident when I heard that the professor was greatly increasing the number of students.”

“hmm.”

Professor Boladi once again expressed his agreement with pride.

‘It’s not a huge increase, is it?’

Of course, it was a 100% increase, but there were truths in the world that couldn’t be known just by looking at the numbers. The number of Professor Boladi’s students was exactly the same.

“That’s why I also reflected and changed the content of the test. “Junior.”

“indeed. “Are you saying this is not a test for seniors to eat raw, but a test for the listeners?”

‘It seems like Lee Han’s words are also secretly bitter.’

Jo Woo-rin thought to himself.

Although he was polite, this boy from the Wardanaz family never left without saying something.

But Caton was one step ahead of Lee Han. He said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Is that what you mean? Umm. Junior. “I didn’t mean it that way.”

“yes? “Then what is it?”

Lee Han wondered if there could be a different answer in this situation.

“That’s not it… I was considering a test that would have more people listening in the future. “If there are a lot of people listening, I won’t be able to truly experience teaching.”

‘You may be embarrassed, but what you say is no different from Professor Verdus!’

His attitude was embarrassing, but if you look at it calmly, all he could say was, ‘It’s none of the students’ business, and I’ll try to attract them as much as possible next semester with a plausible test.’

If Professor Verdus had said the same thing, it would have sounded much more sinister. After all, a person’s usual attitude was important.

‘But it’s not a bad deal for me.’

Even from this perspective, it was an attractive enough story.

Wouldn’t it be much better than Caton saying, ‘In this lecture, let’s understand the ultimate meaning of swordsmanship, junior?’

“Junior. “Could you help me decide on the exam content so that more students can come to my classes in the future?”

“of course!”

“If it’s okay with you, Professor, could you help me? “I think it will be reassuring if Professor Bagrek helps me.”

“Sure.”

“It’s reassuring to know that the best person in this field is helping me! Isn’t that right, junior?”

“……”

Lee Han felt a little bit wronged.

* * *

“After all, wouldn’t it be right to target White Tiger Tower students?”

Regardless of his feelings of injustice, Lee Han expressed a common-sense opinion.

In fact, considering Caton’s respect within the White Tiger Tower, it might not have been that difficult to bring him into the lecture.

How much Giselle and Dergyu loved it when Lee Han dragged them away like a water ghost.

“Hmm. Junior. I have one thing to worry about. “There is a steady stream of juniors who want to learn swordsmanship from me every year, but fewer of them stick around for long than you might think.”

Among the White Tiger Tower students, the more persistent juniors would chase Caton around and ask him to teach them.

Then, there were times when Caton couldn’t win and taught him, but most of the time, it didn’t last long.

“If things continue like this, even if White Tiger Tower students come to visit, the dropout rate will be high.”

‘Aren’t you too greedy?’

Lee Han was a little embarrassed to see Caton setting his goals too high from the beginning.

The professor next to him is living comfortably with only one or two students…

Caton also asked Professor Boladi a question.

“What do you think, Professor Bagrek? As the professor teaches students strictly, the dropout rate must be high. How did you resolve this?…”

“I just trust my students.”

“indeed!”

‘What is it?’

Lee Han was dumbfounded, but the two were serious.

“I believe in my students… This may be better than useless techniques.”

‘I guess there are about 0 people. no. There are three of us, Giselle Durgyu and I… In this alone, we surpass Professor Bagrek. okay. I’m rather glad.’

While listening to the conversation, Lee Han estimated the number of students in his senior’s class next semester.

No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem like the number would increase from 3, but compared to Professor Boladi, this was something to be proud of.

Later, while Lee Han was thinking about a phrase to convince him that ‘three people are great too,’ Caton’s voice was heard in Lee Han’s ear.

“Junior? “Junior?”

“ah. sorry.”

“You must be tired.”

Lee Han has too much work to do.

“…It wasn’t because of that… Anyway, why are you doing that?”

“I was thinking about asking Professor Ingalldel as well.”

“It’s not a bad idea. “If you are a professor, you must know which tests are of appropriate difficulty.”

“Hmm. But Professor Ingaldel is worried about his junior, and I’m worried that I’m disturbing him for no reason…” “

…Yes?”
