Chapter 058
He couldn’t even remember how many hundreds of times he had tried.
It was an orb he had barely managed to complete after all that effort.
“…Lee Han?”
“?”
“I don’t know much about that magic, but hasn’t it gotten too big?”
Yoner asked with a bewildered expression.
The other students were similarly confused.
The water orb that had clearly been about fist-sized at first was now…
It had grown as large as a giant boulder.
At that point, one had to wonder ‘can we even call that thing an orb?’
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh-
A massive orb of water spinning with a menacing sound.
Asan spoke to his friends as if to say, “What are you talking about?”
“There’s no way Wodanaz can’t properly control a single spell. That’s 100% definitely how that magic is supposed to work.”
“I… Is that so? For magic used by a first-year student, it seems far too… dangerous.”
When Rowena stumbled over her words, Nilia stepped in and got angry on her behalf.
“What do you take the Wardanaz for! If it’s the Wardanaz, he can do at least that much!”
I was grateful for my friends’ concern, but at the same time it could be burdensome.
Ihan suddenly felt burdened.
‘Did I push myself too hard?’
There were things that had long been said to young wizards.
-Don’t mess with well-crafted magic.
Each spell was already a complete formula and world unto itself. There was no way an inexperienced mage could tamper with it carelessly and expect good results.
What Ihan was doing now wasn’t a massive transformation, but it was still a transformation nonetheless.
‘Am I doing this wrong?’
It was difficult for Lee Han to maintain rotational force while strongly compressing water into a bead-like form.
What Ihan didn’t know was that this was magic that even upperclassmen would find difficult to handle without specialized training.
A high-difficulty magic that requires maintaining a sphere shape with a set amount of mana while making it rotate inside!
Of course, Ihan didn’t know about such things.
So Ihan slammed his magical power into it even harder.
To maintain rotational force.
When I injected more magical power, the water orb began to rotate, but it couldn’t withstand the amount of magical energy and its form became distorted.
So Ihan figured there was plenty of water around and just increased the size of the water orb.
However, as the water droplets grew larger, the rotational force began to decrease again.
…Ihan poured even more magical power into it.
Normally, this would have been a situation where one of two things should have happened: either the mage would have collapsed midway, or the water orb would have burst.
However, Ihan had far too much magical power to collapse, and his concentration was much greater than expected for the water orb to crumble.
How many tens of minutes had passed as a result?
Lee Han finally completed it.
A perfectly formed state where a water orb that barely maintains its shape is spinning!
…though it’s grown to dozens of times its original size!
‘No. It definitely feels controllable.’
Ihan aimed a water projectile… no, a water orb at the golem.
The magic was barely being maintained as it was, so even that alone was exhausting.
‘Go!’
Bang!
Bang!
With a thunderous roar, the water orb shot out. The water orb, unable to overcome its own force, flew slightly differently from the intended target.
‘Oops!’
He had aimed for the golem’s back but ended up hitting the golem’s shoulder instead.
Lee Han clicked his tongue in disappointment.
‘Could I complete that thing again right now? Even making one has my head throbbing…’
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
The students in their seats blinked in disbelief at what had just happened.
The mud golem that was struck by the water orb on its shoulder literally shattered into pieces and burst apart.
“Wh… Whoooooooa!”
“What the heck! What the heck! What the heck!”
“See?! What did I tell you!”
Ihan stared at the remains of the mud golem with a dazed expression.
Even though it missed, it’s still this powerful…
I couldn’t tell if it was because of the power of the water orb or because the mud golem was weak.
‘Still, Professor Voladi’s teachings weren’t wrong after all. Thanks to them, I survived.’
Of course, Professor Voladi had never actually taught anything like this.
“Wodanaz. Are you okay? I’ll carry you on my back.”
“No. I’ll carry you.”
“I’ll carry you on my back.”
When Lee Han returned and staggered from the aftereffects of using magic, his friends all rushed over to him.
As they grabbed and pulled at Lee Han’s arms and legs, Lee Han felt like he was getting a headache he didn’t even have before.
“…I can walk on my own.”
“Oh, really?”
After taking a brief rest and gulping down the remaining coffee, his mind returned to normal. Lee Han found his own recovery ability somewhat absurdly fast.
‘Coffee might actually be a magic potion no matter where you are.’
Slurp-
“Hmm. The rain has gotten a bit lighter. Nilia. Would it be okay to leave now?”
“Normally… I’d like to wait a bit longer…”
“Let’s all get going!”
bastards!”
Bastard
“…let me finish what I’m saying
Bastard
Hey!”
Bastard
Before they could even finish speaking, seeing his friends ready to move, Nilia felt a surge of emotion. Lee Han called his friends back to their original positions.
“I’d like to wait a bit longer, but seeing that mud golem appear, I don’t think we should let our guard down. Let’s move now while the rain has weakened. I’ll take the lead, so just follow behind me. Don’t stop along the way, don’t wander off to other places along the way, and don’t get distracted by something interesting along the way…”
“Oh. Isn’t that a wild berry? It looks delicious.”
Whack!
Lee Han struck the Black Turtle Tower student’s back with his staff.
The student jumped in surprise and shouted.
“Sor… Sorry, Lord Wardanaz!”
“We’re sorry!”
The atmosphere instantly became orderly. The Black Turtle Tower students straightened their clothes and even corrected their posture.
Nilia looked at Lee Han gratefully, but Lee Han lamented inwardly.
‘Damn. I should have made someone else do it.’
Nilia ended up playing the role of the kind teacher while Lee Han became the strict teacher.
Of course, it was an effective combination often used during training camps or field trips…
…but Lee Han had wanted to play the kind teacher role too.
‘I should have just made Nilia do it.’
Unaware of Lee Han’s dark thoughts, Nilia finished her explanation.
“Everyone form groups. Make sure no one goes missing. If there’s a problem, speak up immediately. All set? Let’s go!”
The students departed in formation.
Anyone watching would find it hard to believe these were magic school students, given how perfectly aligned their march was.
* * *
Light!
“Light!“
Light!
Light!
Lee Han floated a sphere of light upward to illuminate the surroundings.
It was to help the students following behind.
Not just Lee Han, but students who could use magic each cast spells to help their friends.
Seeing this, Lee Han suddenly had a thought.
‘Wouldn’t it be okay for me to try fire magic now?’
Fire magic might be the most suitable for the current situation.
Though the rain had weakened, all the students were still shivering from the cold.
‘Professor Garcia told me not to, but…’
Professor Garcia had advised against using fire elemental magic on campus until Lee Han’s magical abilities became more proficient.
There was a risk that Lee Han himself could get hurt.
But in this rainy situation, that danger seemed minimal.
Rather, he should worry about whether fire would even ignite properly in the rain.
In fact, even students who knew 【Flame Creation】 magic were failing to cast their spells successfully in this rain.
The continuous rainfall, along with the cold and damp environment, was affecting the mages’ mental state as well.
-Can I light a fire in this situation?
The moment such doubt arose, the magic was already half-failed.
‘Let’s try it.’
Blaze up!
“Blaze up!“
Blaze up!
Burn bright!
Lee Han visualized fire and chanted the incantation.
Having constantly glanced enviously at his classmates during Professor Garcia’s lectures, he remembered the movements perfectly.
Whoooooooosh!
Whoooooooosh!
Whoooooooosh!
“!!!!”
Whoooooooooosh!
Whoooooooosh!
Nilia, who had been walking alongside him, perked up her ears and jumped excitedly.
Lee Han spewed forth fierce flames.
Fortunately, the flames disappeared in an instant, but the shock remained.
“S-sorry.”
Nilia didn’t scream for fear of startling the students behind her. She was truly worthy of being from the 【Shadow Patrol】.
Instead, he expressed his surprise with his whole body. Waving his hands, opening his eyes wide, and shaking his feet—it was easy enough to understand what he was trying to say.
“I’m really sorry. I didn’t know it would get this out of control.”
“What, what did you do?”
Nilia asked in a shocked voice.
“Create flame.”
Nilia doubted her ears.
Since when has the magic for creating small flames become like that?
“It was my first time using it, so I failed to control it. But it’s okay now. I’ve got the hang of it.”
As if to prove he wasn’t lying, Ihan adjusted the size of the fire. A sphere of flame flickered into existence, floating in midair.
Nilia’s expression softened as the intense heat warmed her body.
Burn bright!
“What?”
Burn bright!
“Why?”
“Uh… it’s nothing.”
Nilia wondered, ‘It may be 1st Circle magic, but is it really okay to use it so many times in a row?’ but stopped herself from saying it out loud.
Just as Ihan respected Nilia’s abilities as a hunter, Nilia also had to respect Ihan’s abilities as a mage.
Isn’t that what friendship is?
“Oh. But is it okay to have multiple ones open like this?”
Nilia glared at Ihan.
In any case, the fire and light made the students move a bit faster.
The flames that Ihan summoned warmed and thawed the frozen hands and feet of the students.
‘Professor Ingeldel is nowhere to be found, as expected.’
Lee Han arrived at the location where Professor Ingurdel had been earlier and looked around.
Professor Ingoldel was nowhere to be seen, but Ihan wasn’t disappointed. He had been secretly certain of this from the beginning.
‘As expected, it’s a trap set by the professors.’
Ugh-
The bone summon suddenly trembled as if frightened and hid behind Lee Han.
It was as if they were afraid of the space where Professor Ingoldel had disappeared.
‘What?’
Lee Han focused his mind.
There was a strangely familiar magical energy lingering where Professor Ingoldel had disappeared.
Where have I seen this before?
BANG!!!
Bang!!!
Bang!!!
“?!?”
All the students turned around in surprise.
From the opposite direction they had come, a mud golem was charging toward them, rampaging wildly.
* * *
Lee Han’s side had Lee Han as a leader, but the Phoenix Tower and White Tiger Tower students didn’t have such a leader.
When the mud golem appeared in the same way, the students each voiced their own opinions.
-Let’s throw potions to take it down.
-Let’s gang up on it and attack. We have a chance if we distract it from all sides.
-How about trying to attack with magic?
-Let’s just try everything.
-That’s a good idea, isn’t it?
What happens when you have dozens of opinions in a project and don’t refine them into one, but just do everything?
Naturally, it became a mess.
-Throw it! The potion is working! As expected from Bartrek’s potion!
-Isn’t that the potion Priest Siana made?
-Oh, really? I was mistaken.
-Everyone scatter and stab it! Don’t let it regroup!
For such a messy attack, the students fought quite well.
They threw hastily made potions to weaken the mud golem’s body, and the White Tiger Tower students wielded spears and swords to chip away at the mud golem’s form. It was combat prowess befitting those from knight families.
However, that was as far as it went.
When they failed to defeat the mud golem before the potion’s effects wore off, the students immediately began to be pushed back.
-…Retreat! Retreat! If we stay like this, we’ll all be smashed!
-Run! Run if you want to live!
Realizing that their weapons were no longer effective, the students began screaming and running away.
Unfortunately, in the direction where Lee Han’s group was!
Lee Han muttered as he watched the chaos running toward them from afar.
“Those utterly useless bastards…”
Nilia decided to pretend she didn’t hear that. For Lee Han’s image.
