Chapter 116
-But for that method, I need your complete cooperation.
“…”
“…”
Lee Han managed to control his expression, but the Black Turtle Tower students looked suspicious.
This was a school where even the professors couldn’t be trusted.
Just because someone was an upperclassman didn’t mean they could be trusted either.
‘He’s not going to betray us after saying all that, is he?’
‘Somehow, doesn’t that upperclassman seem like he’s from Blue Dragon Tower or White Tiger Tower?’
-…New students. You’re suspecting me right now… Damn it! This cursed school. Fine! I guess I would be suspicious. I’d think the same if I were you. But after coming this far together, are you really going to distrust each other!? And if you don’t trust me, how do you plan to get out of here!
“He has a point.”
Lee Han calmed down the Black Turtle Tower students.
Even though this faceless upperclassman was suspicious, they had no other choice now that they were trapped in the Teapot Kitchen by the warehouse keeper’s magic.
Either stay trapped and get caught, or listen to the upperclassman’s method.
“Let’s hear him out first.”
-First, you need to give me some of those beer candies you made.
“…”
Salko’s eyes changed as if looking at a suspicious con artist, but he still reached into his pocket and pulled out beer candies.
It was because he trusted Lee Han’s words rather than trusting the other person.
-I’m not trying to steal from you new students.
‘His words are getting more and more suspicious…’
-As you know, I used too much magic getting here today. I have almost no mana left. I need to recover.
‘Ah. That makes sense.’
Lee Han was convinced by the other person’s words.
Unlike Lee Han, who had never experienced mana shortage in his life, other mages often ran out of mana when using magic.
This faceless upperclassman had been using magic several times from the lecture hall to the kitchen.
It wouldn’t be strange if his mana was gradually depleting.
Crunch crunch-
The beer candies gradually disappeared into the air.
Lee Han suddenly became curious.
“But if you’re low on mana, how are you maintaining the invisibility magic?”
-I didn’t cast it.
‘…The Skeleton Principal?!’
Though the writing was calm, Lee Han could somehow sense the upperclassman’s fear.
Could it be…
‘Could it be that the Skeleton Principal cast magic to prevent upperclassmen from making contact?’
He wanted to cry out asking why go to such lengths, but Lee Han didn’t.
Now Lee Han was beginning to accept this magic school itself.
‘Hmm. That’s just how he was originally. I’ll only lose out if I’m surprised.’
-Alright. Watch and learn.
Having recovered some mana, the upperclassman moved forward.
The magic the warehouse keeper had used on the kitchen door was spatial distortion magic.
The name sounded simple, but for those trying to break through it, it was anything but simple.
At least three stages of magic were needed.
First, 【Sense Enhancement】.
【Sense Enhancement】, a 2nd circle magic, was popular among warriors even among enhancement magic.
Once cast, even a dull and slow warrior would show reflexes as swift as a swallow skimming water.
Not only that, but with enhanced senses like sight and hearing, they could gather much more information on a chaotic battlefield.
Since spatial magic basically distorted the five senses, at least this level of enhancement was necessary to counter it.
And next was 【Spatial Perception】.
【Spatial Perception】 was 1st circle magic, but in terms of difficulty alone, it was harder than 【Sense Enhancement】, which was 2nd circle magic.
This was due to the difficulty of spatial magic.
This 【Spatial Perception】 served to accurately map the space around the mage in their mind.
It was on a completely different level from simply looking with eyes and making rough calculations.
What objects were positioned near oneself, and exactly what the distances between those objects were.
Usually, combat mages who often faced swift enemies used this magic as support, but this magic was also essential when dealing with spatial magic.
If you couldn’t even perceive it, you couldn’t find a solution.
Finally, one magic with appropriate destructive power was needed.
Any magic would do as long as it had destructive power. You had to find the weak point of the distorted space and break through it to escape.
‘My mana has recovered.’
The upperclassman took a deep breath.
As a 3rd year bearing the symbol of the white deer, he had to show a proper example in front of the new students.
…More than anything, it was quite annoying that some of those guys were suspecting him.
”
“
Senses, be enhanced. Space, be perceived. Flames, take the form of arrows and fly forth!
The incantation was quickly recited and magic was cast.
His senses were enhanced and the surrounding space was converted to information that entered his mind.
And a flame arrow flashed as it pierced a point in the air.
“!”
“Wow…!”
Even the suspicious Black Turtle Tower students were impressed by the flame arrow.
An upperclassman was indeed an upperclassman!
Flames that seemed ready to burn everything around them maintained the sharp form of an arrow as they shot forth.
The new students could tell how difficult that magic was.
To maintain flame elements in the form of an arrow and simultaneously launch it.
‘The form maintenance is imperfect and control seems to break a bit when firing.’
…Except for Lee Han.
Lee Han was thinking to himself when he was startled.
‘Wait. I’m thinking like Professor Boladi!’
So what if the form maintenance was a bit imperfect and control was briefly interrupted?
There was no particular problem with using the magic.
Only a perfectionist like Professor Boladi would point out each and every thing…
Lee Han reflected on the fact that he was thinking like Professor Boladi.
‘There’s no need to obsess over perfection. I might end up like Professor Boladi if I do.’
‘There’s no need to obsess over perfection. You might end up like Professor Voladi if you do.’
Smack!
‘When can we go out?’
‘Is it now?’
-Help…
“??”
-…me…
‘Is it now?’
-years old…
-…please…
“…”
“…”
From the crooked writing scrawled on the paper, the students realized that the senior had failed.
* * *
Even if the senior begged for help, there was nothing the invisible new students could do.
After a brief moment, the senior seemed to regain his composure as new writing appeared.
-…Sorry. I showed you something unsightly.
“What happened?”
-I failed.
“Beer…”
“?”
When one of the Black Turtle Tower students beside him opened his mouth, Lee Han looked puzzled.
What was he trying to say?
“Beer candy thief…!”
“…”
-No! You think I would deliberately fail?!
The senior desperately tried to explain, not wanting to be remembered as the senior who ate beer candy and ran away.
There were two reasons for the failure.
One was that the range of the spatial distortion magic was wider and stronger than expected, causing excessive mana consumption for 【Space Recognition】.
And the spatial distortion magic was more solidly woven than anticipated. It seemed the warehouse keeper had poured in more mana than usual to make it harder to break through.
As a result, even when he fired the flame arrow, it couldn’t penetrate and just bounced off.
“So… you only ate our beer candy and failed to escape…”
Salko said in a serious voice. If not for the Principal’s magic, the senior would have wanted to grab the new student by the collar and have it out with him.
-These… idiots… not even knowing how difficult that magic is…
“Senior. Just teach us 【Space Recognition】.”
Lee Han, who had been listening, spoke up.
After hearing the detailed explanation, it didn’t seem that impossible.
Sensory enhancement magic with 【Gonadaltes’ Nimble Steps】.
Magic needed for penetration with 【Gonadaltes’ Sharp Hands】.
If he could just learn 【Space Recognition】, Lee Han felt he could give it a try too.
Since it was 1st Circle magic, with luck he might be able to learn it right away.
-New student. You really…
The senior was about to scold him, saying ‘Do you think it makes sense for a first-year to learn space magic on the spot?’ but hesitated.
First, he wasn’t in a position to say such things after failing so miserably…
And he kind of wanted to hear that new student say ‘This seems impossible.’
-Fine. I’ll write it out in as much detail as possible.
While writing, the senior suddenly became worried.
…What if this new student succeeds with this magic in one try too?
* * *
One hour later.
Lee Han’s group had left the underground kitchen and gathered in the main building courtyard under the moonlight.
Lee Han spoke sincerely to the paper floating in the air.
“Senior. Thank you. You seem to teach even better than the professors.”
“Oh…”
“Oh…”
“Oh…”
“Oh…”
“I guess upperclassmen really are different.”
At Ihan’s words, the other Black Turtle Tower students also seemed to think that must be the case.
Seeing Wordanaz react like that, it was clear that senior’s magic teaching skills were definitely extraordinary.
Perhaps that senior was more of a theorist who excelled at teaching magic rather than actually using it.
It was a good thing the freshmen couldn’t see their own faces.
The senior covered his face with both hands and sat on a nearby rock, sighing deeply.
‘I learned magic for nothing…’
I was pretty confident that I was quite outstanding among my peers in the same grade…
Today, that pride was completely shattered.
And to a freshman he’s never even seen before!
If he told the other friends in the tower exactly what he had witnessed today, no one would believe him.
If I had to say… probably…
-I was hungry today so I went to the kitchen to steal some food, and there was this freshman who learned 【Pahite’s Lesser Illusion】 in one go when I taught it to him. I was so amazed that I taught him 【Spatial Awareness】 too, you know? He learned that instantly, then immediately detected the spatial distortion magic the warehouse keeper had cast and broke right through it.
-Did you go to the kitchen to drink?
-You didn’t get caught by the principal and get beaten up, did you?
-More importantly, can you break through spatial distortion magic with just 【Spatial Recognition】 alone? Wouldn’t you need other things as well?
-Ah. That’s… well, the new student… um… I might have seen it wrong, but it seemed like they used magic that the headmaster used to use…?
-…You must have seen it wrong. How could a freshman use the principal’s magic.
-I think that new student might be the principal in disguise. Hey. Be careful. The principal could come for you this week and drag you to the detention room. You didn’t say anything weird, did you?
-I told you not to make contact with freshmen in the first place!
…conversations like this will be exchanged.
“Senior? Are you there?”
“Haven’t they already left?”
“I guess he just left since he said everything he needed to say. How cool of him.”
-Haven’t left yet…
The senior got up and pulled himself together.
It was truly shocking, but all students entering this magic school were bound to become accustomed to accepting shocking realities.
It was hard to accept that a freshman was more talented at magic than himself or his other friends…
The magic school and skeleton principal weren’t exactly easy facts to accept either.
Let’s accept it!
-Thank you for today.
“No, it’s thanks to your excellent teaching.”
‘Who are you kidding?’
Even Ihan’s heartfelt gratitude sounded like mockery to his senior right now.
-Freshman. Originally, people who meet at night in this school don’t ask each other’s names or family backgrounds. Because you could get dragged along together when someone gets hauled off to the punishment room.
Ihan was left speechless by such a realistic reason.
-But I really want to know your name. Even if I get thrown into solitary confinement, I swear on my honor to keep it secret.
The senior wrote seriously.
I had been so incredibly curious about it.
What the hell is that guy do… wait, is he a freshman?
Lee Han thought.
‘This senior either has poor hearing or lacks interest in other people.’
Earlier, the friends from the Black Turtle Tower kept saying “what do you know, what do you know,” and you don’t even know what that means.
The Black Turtle Tower students also had expressions of disbelief.
But my senior had their reasons too.
Unlike the new students, the senior had been continuously watching outside the corridor and staying alert.
Moreover, his mind was half-gone because of that monster-like new student!
Lee Han pondered and made a decision.
From the way he spoke, it seemed like he wouldn’t report them to the Skeleton Principal.
‘It should be fine to tell him.’
-I should speak first. I am Balpatan of the Moradi Family.
“…”
“…My name is Gainando.”
“…!!!”
