Chapter 048
“All the priests who entered Phoenix Tower are faithful and good people, but…”
“It’s a place where people live, so how could that be possible?”
“Please be quiet since I’m praying. Anyway, among such people, there are those who haven’t yet abandoned worldly emotions. Emotions like competitiveness and jealousy don’t help faith at all.”
Last week, a new student priest who had just entered Phoenix Tower made fatigue recovery potions for other priests.
He wanted to use the knowledge he learned from temple life for others.
It was truly priest-like.
‘If it were me, I would have sold them for money.’
-Drinking this potion really relieves fatigue. Thank you so much!
-Even Priest Siana of the Flaming Order would be impressed. You made it really well. Didn’t you perhaps make it even better than Priest Siana?
While laughing and chatting cheerfully, someone joked.
Rather than a serious comparison, it was closer to praise saying it was made that well.
Priest Siana also nodded with a smile, and no one felt any discord.
…However, the next day Priest Siana came with fatigue recovery potions.
-??
-I made some too. Everyone please try them.
-Ah. Thank you.
-Really excellent. You made them well, didn’t you?
The day after that, Priest Siana came with fatigue recovery potions again.
-Thank you…?
-Really excellent, isn’t it?
The day after that too, Priest Siana came with fatigue recovery potions.
By then, the priests realized.
-The potions made by Priest Siana seem to be the best…!
-Who could possibly compare!
Only then did Priest Siana stop bringing fatigue recovery potions.
“…Her, her competitive spirit is a bit strong.”
Lee Han, who heard the story, spoke in a disgusted voice.
Just because she heard one joke, she kept making and bringing potions until everyone acknowledged she was the best.
“That wasn’t the only incident.”
“…”
‘It wasn’t the end?’
The priest who made the fatigue recovery potion before Priest Siana.
That priest later approached Priest Siana and praised her.
-As expected of Priest Siana. Not just anyone could make potions of that level.
Tijiling, who was present, clearly saw it.
Priest Siana pretending not to hear, ignoring him, and leaving.
-…?!
In the end, it was several days later that Priest Siana accepted that priest’s greeting.
‘How narrow-minded can she be?’
Lee Han, who was listening, was shocked.
No, if she acts like that just because she got a little praise for one potion…
‘What kind of praise did I receive in the lecture hall?’
Starting roughly from genius of alchemy, he seemed to have heard all sorts of embarrassing praise…
Having said everything she wanted to say, Tijiling finished her prayer to Prising.
Lee Han, still not convinced, asked again.
“Priest Siana wouldn’t put poison in other people’s food, would she?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Tijiling closed her mouth as if she wouldn’t say anything more.
Lee Han made a decision.
‘If I end up moving together with Priest Siana, I must never eat any food she offers.’
* * *
Even when pain, despair, and assignments piled up like mountains, the sun set and rose.
‘Assignments are one thing, but other matters are worrying.’
The two things Lee Han was most concerned about right now were:
How to infiltrate White Tiger Tower?
And he had to go to the mountain range behind the school to gather alchemy materials, but what crazy traps would be in the mountain range?
‘I don’t know which of the two is more difficult.’
But the magic school didn’t give time for long contemplation.
It immediately sent students to the next lecture to squeeze them dry.
Professor Boladi, standing in the 【Repetitive Learning of Basic Magic Combat】 lecture hall, opened his mouth when Lee Han entered.
“11 seconds late.”
“I’m sorry. I was late because I went to the stables early in the morning to tend to the horses.”
“No need to be sorry. You’re the one who loses out by being late.”
‘Where do professors learn their way of speaking?’
Lee Han sat down while thinking such thoughts.
In the silent lecture hall, there were only two people.
Professor Boladi flicked his finger. Lee Han took out his staff and rotated the steel ball.
The battle with the anti-magic extremists gave Lee Han a definite realization.
The control of the low-level control spell was at an incomparable level to before.
The steel ball rotated at a constant speed, drawing a nearly perfect circle.
‘About 2 years faster than I expected.’
Professor Boladi thought with an expressionless face.
It was fortunate that Lee Han couldn’t hear. If he had, he would have seriously frowned.
-No, did you choose training that takes over 2 years to learn to walk as the first lesson content???
“Not bad.”
“Thank you.”
Lee Han knew well that when someone like Professor Boladi said “not bad,” it meant “very excellent!”
He hadn’t expected praise in the first place.
“I heard you learned water creation magic.”
“Yes.”
“Try it.”
“Spring forth!“
Along with the incantation, a mass of water appeared in front of Lee Han.
Spring forth!
Thanks to Professor Garcia’s corporal punishment, no, education, he could still maintain its form now.
“Reduce it to the size of a marble.”
“I’ll try.”
Lee Han gripped his staff and concentrated his mind.
The form of the water mass that appeared in the air distorted, then protruded here and there, becoming dented.
For Lee Han, who already had an enormous amount of mana, reducing the amount of water and shaping it into a marble form was no ordinary task.
Professor Boladi picked up the steel ball placed in front of Lee Han.
At that sight, Lee Han felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
For Lee Han, who already possessed an enormous amount of magical power, reducing the volume of water and shaping it into orb form was no ordinary task.
Professor Voladi picked up the steel ball that was placed in front of Ihan.
At that sight, Lee Han felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
With a sharp sound, a steel ball flew toward Lee Han’s face.
‘Ah, this crazy professor bastard…!’
Lee Han instinctively compressed a mass of water into a sphere shape. The huge mass of water compressed to about the size of a fist, dramatically increasing its strength and hardness.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The flying steel ball collided with the water sphere and lost its force, falling to the ground.
“…Professor. Are you going to keep doing this from now on?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about you just throwing a steel ball at me.”
“Ah. So that’s what you meant. Yes.”
“…Isn’t that a bit dangerous?”
Lee Han tried to persuade Professor Boladi the same way he had persuaded the other students.
However, Professor Boladi was not as easily persuaded as the students.
“But wasn’t it efficient?”
“Excuse me?”
“Just like in the fight with the Imperial Anti-Mages, sudden crises sharpen your concentration and instincts, improving your control over magic. Why would you want to take the long way around when there’s a method like this?”
“…”
Lee Han was left speechless.
Not because he couldn’t argue back, but because he was simply dumbfounded.
So people really do become speechless when they hear something too absurd!
“You seem convinced. Now make it rotate.”
From spirit stone spheres to steel balls, and from steel balls to spheres made of water.
Making the water sphere rotate was definitely the most difficult thing he had done so far.
He had to maintain the generated water in sphere form while making it rotate at a constant speed.
He could feel his nerves being overworked, just like when he fought the Imperial Anti-Mages.
Subtle shapes that couldn’t be called circles were drawn in the air, over and over again.
And Professor Boladi shot a steel ball.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Lee Han blocked it immediately.
Even if his control wasn’t perfect enough to draw perfect circles, as long as he was on guard beforehand, he could block one attack.
‘I knew this would happen!’
However, Professor Boladi had also expected Lee Han to block it. Simultaneously, another steel ball came flying from the opposite direction, spinning.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
“…!”
He hastily spun the water sphere, but it was too late. The steel ball hit his back precisely. Lee Han gritted his teeth.
‘Damn it!’
Even though he tensed his muscles and endured, he felt the impact. It reminded him of when he learned swordsmanship from Alarlong.
“Focus.”
“…”
Lee Han no longer had the leisure to respond.
He just moved the water sphere frantically to avoid the flying steel balls.
One thing was certain.
‘I’d rather have lectures with lots of assignments.’
* * *
“Wardanaz looks really tired.”
“It must be because of assignments. I couldn’t sleep properly either because of assignments. Besides, Wardanaz isn’t the type to take ordinary lectures.”
“True, if it’s a lecture Wardanaz would take, it wouldn’t be ordinarily difficult. It’s Wardanaz after all.”
“By the way, when will we enter the White Tiger Tower?”
“Who knows…”
The Blue Dragon Tower students gathered in the 【Basic Understanding of Magic】 lecture hall were murmuring.
Lee Han’s face, as he leaned back with his eyes closed, looked quite tired.
It was the aftermath of his life-or-death sphere battle with Professor Boladi.
It wasn’t just the Blue Dragon Tower students talking. The Black Turtle Tower students were also chattering.
“Is anyone taking the alchemy class? Is it true that we’re going up the mountain tomorrow?”
“The rumor already spread? Yeah. Students from other towers are all going up together too.”
“Isn’t there a path out of the school somewhere in the mountains?”
‘They’re having futile dreams.’
Lee Han felt sorry for the Black Turtle Tower students’ words.
To think there was a way out.
They would be very disappointed when they learned the truth.
“Wait, so we’re going with Wardanaz? If we make even one mistake, we’ll get punished…”
“S-surely that won’t happen. We’re from different towers.”
“…”
Lee Han sighed deeply inwardly.
“Nice to see you all.”
“Good day, Professor!”
When Professor Garcia entered, all the students greeted her politely.
Now the students were realizing it.
Professor Garcia was among the most conscientious in this school.
What was scarier than a troll was a professor who didn’t understand human hearts.
“Until last time, we’ve been doing various exercises to become familiar with elemental magic. But in this Basic Understanding of Magic class, you’ll learn not only elemental magic but also various other types of magic… illusion, divination, summoning, transformation magic, and so on. When you advance to higher grades, you’ll learn these magics professionally.”
The world of magic was infinitely vast and deep beyond sight.
It was impossible for human ability to master everything in that world.
Naturally, mages chose specialized fields to research.
Lee Han wasn’t particularly surprised since he already knew this.
“Today we’ll have time to learn what other fields of magic are like. Instead of me teaching directly, a professor who is an expert in this field of magic will do so.”
At Professor Garcia’s words, the students’ eyes sparkled with anticipation and curiosity.
Everyone had a field of magic they were interested in.
Some wanted elemental magic, some wanted spirit magic, some wanted enchantment magic…
‘I hope it’s an excellent spirit summoner! I want to learn spirit magic…’
‘I came here to learn physical enhancement and healing. Please teach enhancement magic.’
“Come in!”
As the door opened, the temperature in the lecture hall suddenly dropped. The students shivered from the sudden chill.
“Nice to meet you all… *cough, cough*. I am Professor Mortum.”
Lee Han momentarily thought the professor was a dwarf. However, the professor was just short but of human race.
Professor Mortum coughed so much while speaking that he seemed like he would collapse at the slightest breeze.
“Are you alright?”
“You should go to the infirmary rather than give a lecture…”
“Cough, it’s fine. It’s fine…”
Professor Mortum spoke weakly while coughing. One of the students raised their hand and asked.
“What kind of magic do you teach, Professor?”
“I teach Dark Magic.”
“…”
“…”
The atmosphere turned ice cold.
Dark Magic was among the magic types with the worst reputation.
