-Believe in yourself!
-Believe in yourself!
-Believe in yourself!
Perkuntra uttered embarrassing words that he would normally never say.
What an annoying guy in every single way.
Usually other mages would arrogantly say things like ‘I think I can do it? What do you know, spirit, don’t tell me what to do? Just watch! I won’t die!’ despite lacking ability and then fail, but Lee Han had ability yet reacted with things like ‘I don’t think it will work’ ‘Why are you being so reckless?’ ‘Are you saying this because it’s not your problem?’
Even humility has its limits…
-Self-confidence comes from objective situational analysis, not from a few words of encouragement like that.
-Now, focus and do as I tell you!
-Now, focus and do as I tell you!
-Now, focus and do as I tell you!
Perkuntra didn’t respond to Lee Han’s words and just said what he wanted to say. He realized that getting involved would only make him angry.
-Visualize the image of lightning like you did with other elements.
-Visualize the image of lightning like you did with other elements.
-Visualize the image of lightning like you did with other elements.
The basics of elemental magic.
Strongly visualizing the image of that element and materializing it in one’s mind.
This process of changing one’s mana properties to match the element could be said to be the most fundamental process.
But the lightning attribute was a bit different.
-However, don’t visualize lightning striking down from the sky!
-However, don’t visualize lightning striking down from the sky!
-However, don’t visualize lightning striking down from the sky!
“!”
The most common image of lightning that mages could easily visualize was lightning flashing and striking down from the sky.
However, when performing attribute conversion with the lightning element, visualizing such lightning was dangerous.
For a mage to use magic, they need to maintain and control mana concentrated in one place to some extent, but the image of lightning was positioned opposite to such control.
Burning flames, pooled water, and frozen ice could all continue to remain in the same place.
But lightning was essentially an existence that couldn’t stay in one place continuously.
A phenomenon destined to scatter in all directions after striking down from the sky.
If a young mage rashly visualized the image of lightning while converting mana to lightning attribute, they could immediately lose control and cause lightning to fire wildly in all directions.
As Perkuntra had nearly died together when he carelessly interfered with Lee Han’s flames in the underground detention room before, he had to be especially careful about such safety.
Looking at this young mage’s mana, if he caused an accident even once, it would likely be a major disaster.
-Of course I understand. You’re probably thinking how can you draw a lightning image without visualizing lightning. But countless Lightning Attribute Mages have overcome that limitation and eventually succeeded! You too will eventually become familiar with it. A True Mage shouldn’t accept and settle for given reality, but should be able to change reality according to their will! Now. Lend me your arm.

Of course, Perkuntra wasn’t a foolish spirit who just spouted reckless nonsense without any plan, as Lee Han thought.
He acknowledged that Lee Han’s abilities were outstanding, but it was indeed very difficult for a young mage to handle the lightning attribute without any practice.
Naturally, he had a plan.
Like he did in the punishment room before, he intended to personally dwell in Lee Han’s arm and help control the lightning.
Although he was summoned having lost most of his power, that much was sufficiently possible.
But…
Crackle!
Crackle!
Crackle!
-I’ve done it. Should I lend you my arm now?
-…
-…
-…
Perkuntra was shocked to see the Lightning Sphere formed above Lee Han’s staff.
Amazingly, this young mage had completed elemental conversion and succeeded in maintaining lightning attribute mana in one place even before Perkuntra could dwell in him to help.
‘How on earth???’
Unlike Perkuntra’s shock, Lee Han didn’t feel much difficulty in handling the lightning attribute.
Lee Han’s way of thinking was different from other mages from the start.
Lee Han approached it very simply.
Not being able to visualize the image of lightning wasn’t a problem at all.
He just needed to visualize the shape of a sphere made of mana above his staff and think of it as a battery.
Such a natural idea for Lee Han!
Visualizing the image of electricity charging up like being stored in a sphere wasn’t particularly difficult.
That method seemed to have good compatibility, so he succeeded right away.
It actually felt much more stable than other elements…
‘It’s easier than he said. He’s quite the drama queen.’
Lee Han had a rude thought.
Come to think of it, Perkuntra had been quite dramatic since they first met in the punishment room.
Same with the flames…
-You have… quite a talent for lightning!
-You have… quite a talent for lightning!
-You have… quite a talent for lightning!
-Is that so?
Lee Han was indifferent.
After hearing compliments about attributes several times, he was starting to become suspicious.
Wasn’t this just politeness?
Since confidence was important for Young Mages, maybe they just said ‘You have talent for A attribute!’ to encourage them.
And that indifference was conveyed to Perkuntra as well.
Perkuntra was dumbfounded.
For a spirit of Perkuntra’s caliber to give praise was truly a rare occurrence.
-Do my words sound like lies?! You really do have talent!
-Do my words sound like lies?! You really do have talent!
-Do my words sound like lies?! You really do have talent!
-Yes… well, I suppose that could be possible.
Lee Han thought that either he had developed talent for lightning from doing a lot of cramming, or lightning attribute magic wasn’t as difficult as he had thought.
It was probably 99% the latter…
-But when will you come to my arm?
Lee Han asked as if puzzled.
Perkuntra had asked to borrow his arm but was just standing there doing nothing.
Was there some problem?
-Wait. I’m dwelling in you now!
-Wait. I’m dwelling in you now!
-Wait. I’m dwelling in you now!
‘He doesn’t have memory problems too, does he.’
If he had both mood swings and memory problems, no matter how capable the spirit was, he’d have to think twice before summoning him.
While Lee Han was having such thoughts, Perkuntra dwelled in Lee Han’s arm.
-From now on, focus on the incantation I’m about to teach you.
-From now on, focus on the incantation I’m about to teach you.
-From now on, focus on the incantation I’m about to teach you.
Perkuntra was trying to pass on his magic to Lee Han.
The magic of spirits was violent and unpredictable, but if the mighty spirit Perkuntra lent his power, even a freshman mage could use it sufficiently.
Perkuntra’s Lesser Lightning.
This was the 2nd circle magic that Perkuntra was now trying to teach Lee Han.
The principle was simple.
Convert mana into lightning attribute and shoot it!
There was no need to give it the form of a sharp arrow or spear, or add other complex attributes.
Lightning was sufficient on its own.
-It’s quite large, are you sure this will be enough? Won’t we just provoke it unnecessarily?
-Please just listen when a spirit older than you speaks! Stop talking back!
-Please just listen when a spirit older than you speaks! Stop talking back!
-Please just listen when a spirit older than you speaks! Stop talking back!
Perkuntra cried out half-pleadingly.
It was good that he wasn’t arrogant, but this was too humble and was burning Perkuntra’s patience.
That didn’t make Lee Han readily accept it. Perkuntra eventually accepted that the only way to make this damn contractor obediently listen was through logical and rational persuasion.
-Listen well. Lightning is the most destructive and most violent among all elements.
-Listen well. Lightning is the most destructive and most violent among all elements.
-Listen well. Lightning is the most destructive and most violent among all elements.
‘It sounds different when a lightning spirit says it.’
-Other elements aren’t easy to use for attacks by themselves.
-Other elements aren’t easy to use for attacks by themselves.
-Other elements aren’t easy to use for attacks by themselves.
Lee Han agreed with that.
To properly use water element magic for attacks, several things had to be added.
Not just the ‘water’ attribute, but also attributes like ‘sphere’ or ‘spear’ had to be given, and ‘control’ had to be added on top of that.
-But lightning is different. It has powerful destructive force by itself.

-No need to give it form! No complex aiming either! Because you just need to hit!
-No need to give it form! No complex aiming either! Because you just need to hit!
-No need to give it form! No complex aiming either! Because you just need to hit!
Perkuntra cut off Lee Han’s words and continued with what he wanted to say.
-That summoned creature was originally an ordinary plant monster, but thanks to students fusing it with various other monsters, it gained very complex attributes. But thanks to that, lightning works even better on it. Think carefully. Your goal right now is to rescue the students it captured, right? Not to kill it?

-That’s true.
Then this Lesser Lightning alone is sufficient! The moment it gets hit anywhere, it will drop all the students it’s holding. The power of lightning makes enemies shrink back! It won’t want to keep fighting you either. Since it’s eaten its fill of mana, if it receives such an attack, it will run away!

‘That’s convincing.’
Lee Han was persuaded by Perkuntra’s logic. He wasn’t an old spirit for nothing.
【Perkuntra’s Lesser Lightning】 was similar to the 【Lesser Paralysis Curse】 that Lee Han knew.
The way it only converted mana to attribute conversion and shot it out was similar, and the fact that it had the power to paralyze opponents was similar.
The difference was that 【Perkuntra’s Lesser Lightning】 dealt more physical damage, and unlike curses that were easy to dodge or block, it didn’t give such openings.
In the current situation, it was very effective.
-Understood. I’ll cast it!
-Good! It took damn long!
-Good! It took damn long!
-Good! It took damn long!
Pretending not to hear Perkuntra’s words, Lee Han swung his staff. And he chanted the incantation.
Strike forth, Lightning of Perkuntra!
–
Strike forth, Lightning of Perkuntra!
Strike forth, Lightning of Perkuntra!
-Well done…
-Well done…
-Well done…
Seeing the condensed lightning-attribute mana successfully shoot out, Perkuntra was about to praise him.
However, Perkuntra belatedly realized something was wrong.
The lightning-attribute mana condensed in the sphere was far more than he had expected.
‘…???????!!!’
Perkuntra realized that during the short time he had spent in pointless conversation with Lee Han, Lee Han had unconsciously gathered more mana.
‘No!!’
* * *
While the Blue Dragon Tower students and White Tiger Tower students chased after the vine monster, the Phoenix Tower students and Black Turtle Tower students acted a bit more wisely.
They went to find Professor Garcia.
“Professor! Over here!!”
Fortunately, the students succeeded in finding Professor Garcia who was walking.
The Skeleton Principal was also floating beside him, and Professor Boladi was there too, but the students didn’t even speak to either of them.
“Hurry! It’s urgent!”
“Everyone calm down.”
Professor Garcia swung his staff. Then the students who had been shouting as if screaming instantly calmed down.
At the same time, the ground shook and smoothly pushed Professor Garcia forward. Professor Garcia and the students advanced like a gale.
“Is this the right way?”
“Yes! Yes!”
Fortunately, the traces left by the vine monster hadn’t disappeared yet.
Professor Garcia caught sight of the vine monster fighting in the distance.
White Tiger Tower students were surrounding it and swinging swords to hit it, but it wasn’t very effective. Instead, they were being dragged away one by one.
Professor Garcia raised his staff. He planned to first hit the vine monster so it couldn’t move.
At that moment, a thick lightning bolt shot out from the air.
Crackle!
Crackle!
Crackle!
The lightning shot straight out and struck the vine monster’s body directly. Even though the distance was far, Professor Garcia could feel the strong mana contained in the lightning. It was enough to make his hair stand on end.
-■■■■■■…
The vine monster wasn’t just electrocuted but burned completely black. The captured students began falling down in droves.
Professor Garcia hurriedly swung his staff to make the falling students land safely.
“Are you okay?!”
“Uhhhhh…”
Seeing the students trembling, Professor Garcia momentarily worried if they had absorbed mana beyond their limits.
Since that vine monster was one that absorbed mana, young mages could suffer serious internal injuries if they got caught by it.
Priest Tijiling, who had called Professor Garcia, looked at her friends with a very worried expression.
Would they be okay?
“Thank goodness!”
When a relieved voice flowed from Professor Garcia’s mouth, Tijiling also felt reassured.
Fortunately, they seemed to be fine.
“Is everyone uninjured?”
“Yes. Everyone’s fine. Though we got a little electrocuted by lightning.”
“…?”
Tijiling was confused.
Is that really fine?
