To carry a mountain of cargo while continuously casting 【Low-Level Control】 magic to float boxes as well.
Any ordinary mage would have used higher circle magic in such a situation.
After all, 【Low-Level Control】 wasn’t created to be used like that!
At most, it was made to float quill pens or erasers, or at most orbs if they were heavy…
It went beyond impressive to feeling downright bizarre.
Did he really need to go that far with 1st Circle Magic??
“Wait, that’s Physical Enhancement Magic, isn’t it? Who taught him that??”
Professor Garcia, who had been admiring the boxes floating with 【Low-Level Control】 magic, belatedly noticed the mana aura surrounding Lee Han’s body.
Precisely arranged energy was wrapping around Lee Han’s body, assisting his movements.
There was only one type of magic with that kind of energy.
Physical Enhancement Magic.
While it was popular magic due to its clear effects, it had side effects since it involved forcing mana into a person’s body and fixing it there.
It might be fine for battle-hardened adventurers or mercenaries, but most students who had only held quill pens at desks were too frail, making it unnecessary magic to teach this early…
Where did he learn it?
Who knows?
Who knows?
Who knows?
The Skeleton Principal didn’t change his expression one bit as he feigned ignorance. It was truly lich-like emotional control.
“Did he find it in the library and learn it himself? I should have given a warning beforehand…”
Don’t be so restrictive, Professor Garcia. If you keep placing such limitations, mages will grow weak.
Don’t be so restrictive, Professor Garcia. If you keep placing such limitations, mages will grow weak.
Don’t be so restrictive, Professor Garcia. If you keep placing such limitations, mages will grow weak.
‘Isn’t this person the culprit?’
Professor Garcia suddenly found the Skeleton Principal suspicious.
There wasn’t any particular evidence, but just because!
* * *
【Gonadaltes’ Nimble Steps】, which Lee Han was forced to learn, was quite a peculiar magic.
Usually, Physical Enhancement Magic had precisely defined areas of enhancement.
If it was strength, then strength.
If it was agility, then agility.
The lower the circle of magic, the more this was true. If you got too greedy with low circle magic, it could become bizarre magic that no one could master.
And 【Gonadaltes’ Nimble Steps】 belonged to exactly that category of bizarre magic.
A bizarre 1st Circle Magic that enhanced four different areas: strength, agility, cardiopulmonary endurance, and reflexes!
Therefore, training it was inevitably that much more difficult.
For simple strength enhancement magic, you’d imagine a mighty strongman; for agility enhancement magic, you’d imagine a swiftly flying bird.
But finding an image that combined all four of those areas wasn’t easy.
-I think I understand why Gonadaltes is in the magic’s name.
Lee Han complained to the black book through gritted teeth.
Some magic had the names of the mages who created them attached.
This was both an honor for the mage and served as a signpost indicating what kind of magic it was.
And the name ‘Gonadaltes’ was definitely a clear signpost.
He made this magic like complete shit!
‘Shouldn’t the magic name at least match somewhat? Normally, magic like this should only deal with agility.’
Try and fail.
Try and fail.
Through countless trials and errors, Lee Han found his direction.
Though Lee Han himself didn’t realize it well, the breadth and flexibility of his thinking was in some ways a rarer advantage than his mana capacity.
With that advantage, the image Lee Han chose was the Skeleton Principal’s younger days.
Of course, Lee Han didn’t know what the Skeleton Principal looked like in his youth.
But Lee Han used his own imagination to picture his appearance from when he was alive and young.
Eyes that seemed normal but burned with madness, and since his personality was definitely foul, a belligerent and sharp impression. Since he liked fighting enough to create such magic, a nimble and trained physique…
Adding some dark, gloomy clothing and a staff completed the image of an evil mage who wouldn’t look out of place as a villain anywhere.
‘Even though I thought it up myself, he really does look strong.’
A mage who looked strong, fast, enduring, and with good reflexes.
And surprisingly, this image was effective.
The magic that had been failing emptily began to properly take shape.
-Feet, wrinkle the ground!
-Feet, wrinkle the ground!
-Feet, wrinkle the ground!
-Feet, wrinkle the ground!
-Feet, wrinkle the ground!
-Feet, wrinkle the ground!
-Feet, wrinkle the ground!
-Feet, wrinkle the ground!
-Feet, wrinkle the ground!
Continuous incantations.
After persistent attempts, the magic was finally completed.
Lee Han felt the magic’s mana being carved into his body like patterns, helping him.
Not only strength and agility, but lung endurance and reflexes as well.
Flap flap flap!
Flap flap flap!
Flap flap flap!
The black book fluttered as if celebrating Lee Han’s achievement.
Lee Han, who had been satisfied with the results obtained after much hardship, paused.
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
-Wait a minute. Don’t Physical Enhancement Magic have backlash? If it’s magic that deals with multiple areas like this…
The black book ejected Lee Han from the illusion space before his question was even finished.
* * *
Of course, even if he was anxious, he couldn’t avoid using it. This wasn’t the time for Lee Han to be picky about means and methods.
That’s how much cargo there was.
Lee Han cast 【Gonadaltes’ Nimble Steps】 while simultaneously raising mana in the way Professor Ingoldel had taught him and circulating it through his body.
…No, to be precise, he didn’t circulate it through his body but just released it. That level of control was still beyond him.
But even that was enough to enhance and protect his body.
On top of that, he continuously cast 【Low-Level Control】.
Actually, at this point, even Professor Ingoldel would react with ‘No, if you cast magic like that while trying to control mana, of course it’s too much.’
And an even more serious problem than that was the tremendous mana consumption.
Normally, he should have walked a few steps and collapsed…
‘It’s no fun since his mana is overflowing.’
The Skeleton Principal grumbled inwardly.
It seemed he had used 【Gonadaltes’ Nimble Steps】, but he was too fine for it to be entertaining.
Originally, that magic was meant to be cast thinking ‘It’s 1st Circle Magic, so the mana consumption shouldn’t be too severe,’ only to collapse in shock – that was proper etiquette toward the master who created the magic.
In fact, all of the Skeleton Principal’s other disciples had collapsed in such a manner, delighting the Skeleton Principal.
Though it was 1st Circle Magic, it was a trap magic where the difficulty, effect, and mana consumption were all beyond 1st Circle!
…Yet he just passed through it.
I very much welcome your return…
I very much welcome your return…
I very much welcome your return…
The Skeleton Principal’s displeased tone made Lee Han happy.
It meant he had passed through all the traps.
“Thank you for the precious outing. I won’t forget the Principal’s grace.”
“Student Lee Han. There’s no need to say that much.”
Professor Garcia was slightly flustered.
Lee Han had been let out because of his outstanding achievement, not because the Principal was kind.
Oh my. Professor Garcia. Isn’t this rare courtesy these days?
Oh my. Professor Garcia. Isn’t this rare courtesy these days?
Oh my. Professor Garcia. Isn’t this rare courtesy these days?
Professor Garcia ignored the Skeleton Principal’s words.
“Student Lee Han. Once you go inside, drink as many fatigue recovery potions as possible and rest well. It would be good to sleep for a long time.”
“…”
When Professor Garcia said this, Lee Han honestly became a bit scared.
He had been prepared, but when Professor Garcia said this much,
When Professor Garcia said this, Lee Han honestly became a bit scared.
When Professor Garcia said this, Lee Han honestly became a bit scared.
…Shouldn’t he have used magic? Was magic itself the Principal’s final trap?
“I understand.”
Lee Han bowed his head and entered through the open main gate.
As Professor Garcia watched his retreating figure with satisfaction, the Skeleton Principal spoke up.
Wait. So how did he get the money?
Wait. So how did he get the money?
Wait. So how did he get the money?
“…!”
* * *
Lee Han first did everything he could before collapsing.
Organizing his luggage, explaining to friends and making requests, drinking potions…
“?”
When he woke up after sleeping soundly until midday, Lee Han was bewildered.
His body…
‘I’m too fine?’
He was too fine.
When you should be in pain but aren’t, it makes you more anxious – that’s human nature. Lee Han cautiously left his room with an uneasy heart.
“Wardanaz!”
Several Blue Dragon Tower students were waiting for Lee Han in the common room with anxious and restless expressions.
“Wardanaz!! You’re awake!”
“We were worried!”
Some even had tears welling up. Lee Han was even more bewildered.
‘What’s this?’
Were they competing to see who could make the biggest fuss because he brought back a lot of food from outside?
“I did push myself a bit, but it wasn’t something to worry about this much?”
“Huh? Really? Gainando said you might die…”
“…”
Instead of responding, Lee Han slumped down on a chair in front of the common room.
In one corner of the common room, the luggage Lee Han had brought was piled up. These were bulky items that couldn’t all fit in his private room.
Looking at it again…
‘I really brought stuff back like a madman.’
It was an amount of supplies that made him feel proud yet also like a bit of a madman.
How did he carry all this alone?
“We took care of the horse in the stables while you were sleeping.”
“Thanks, Yoner. …Wait. That horse has a pretty nasty temperament, right? Was it okay?”
“Huh?”
Yoner tilted his head.
“It was fine? It stayed still when we fed it and brushed it.”
“…”
Lee Han was furious.
‘This bastard…?’
The horse that caused such a fuss when Lee Han took care of it stayed still when someone else cared for it?
Of course, it might have been because it was treated so harshly by Lee Han that it felt grateful when someone else cared for it…
‘Just wait and see.’
“Here. Cocoa.”
Lee Han accepted the cup containing warm cocoa. Even though his body was fine, some fatigue must have remained because the sweet cocoa was incredibly delicious.
Lee Han rummaged through his pocket. Yoner looked puzzled.
“What are you looking for?”
“Silver coin.”
“…I just gave it to you, so drink it…”
Lee Han looked at Yoner with a moved expression. Yoner sent him a look of disbelief.
As his mind cleared up a bit, Lee Han sighed.
“A new week has started…”
Everyone in the common room nodded with heavy expressions.
The arrogance and conceit they had when facing the second week was nowhere to be found.
What kind of suffering and trials would be waiting for them this week?
“Did everyone finish their assignments?”
“I did. …If you can call that an assignment.”
“I completed it. …A pile of trash.”
Lee Han felt slightly sorry seeing everyone avoid eye contact.
Did he ask the wrong question?
“I finished Professor Thunderstep’s assignment too, but only that remains. The White Tiger Tower flag.”
“…”
When the White Tiger Tower flag was mentioned, the Blue Dragon Tower students’ faces hardened.
The Skeleton Principal’s 【Basic Magic Character Education】 assignment.
Actually, it was still somewhat questionable why this was a character education assignment, but anyway, an assignment was an assignment.
“Anyone try it?”
“Nothing works.”
“Damn it. I tried to seduce one White Tiger Tower guy by giving him candy, but I failed. I almost had it…!”
“…”
The other friends weren’t just sitting around with their hands folded, leaving everything to Lee Han.
Everyone had tried various methods, coming up with all sorts of schemes.
Starting with stealth infiltration (everyone got bounced out), bribery (failed because other White Tiger Tower students interfered), forgery, and so on.
But none of the methods were particularly useful.
Gainando, who arrived late to the common room, said.
“Can’t we just team up with the White Tiger Tower guys and exchange flags?”
“What kind of childish nonsense are you spouting!”
“Did you forget how cruelly those White Tiger Tower bastards attacked Wardanaz!”
“?”
Lee Han paused while listening.
It didn’t seem quite that bad…
“Everyone calm down. I have a method I’ve been thinking about.”
“!”
At Lee Han’s words, the noisy room fell quiet. Gainando spoke as if he knew what was coming.
“An exchange, right? That’s the only option, isn’t it?”
“No. We’re going to raid them at night and take it.”
“…That’s our Wardanaz!”
At Lee Han’s words, cheers erupted from the Blue Dragon Tower common room.
