Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 174

The reason Lee Han didn’t reveal that he was going to the underground dungeon in front of Professor Voladi was simple.

…because it was impossible to predict what kind of reaction would come out.

Professor Voladi is the most difficult professor to predict among professors.

I had to be more careful.

“A picnic? Aren’t we here to attack the underground dungeon?”

However, the ignorant White Tiger Top student asked as if he did not understand.

Lee Han gritted his teeth and muttered.

“Be quiet…”

“What? I can not hear well. Wodanaz. What is the picnic and why do you have to go back?”

Lee Han regretted that he should have just knocked out his opponent quickly.

However, Professor Boladi had already climbed the stairs and stood in front of the students.

The White Tiger Tower student who had just spoken up also noticed Professor Voladi’s appearance and straightened his posture.

“hello. professor.”

“What is going on?”

Lee Han quickly snatched the answer away.

“Let’s have a picnic together underground…”

“Wodhanaz has gathered students to attack the underground dungeon.”

‘Shall I kill him?’

Professor Voladi listened to the words of the White Tiger Tower student and looked around the hallway with an expressionless face.

The students who were going to go down to the underground dungeon soon after finishing all preparations came into the eyes of the vampire professor.

Lee Han could see a very faint smile on Professor Voladi’s lips.

The anger towards the White Tiger Tower students disappeared completely, and fear rose like an ice field.

“Good job.”

“…it’s really not a big deal.”

Lee Han said, paying close attention to read what Professor Voladi was thinking.

“Continuous training is a prerequisite for skill improvement, but few wizards practice it. to be diligent.”

“I’m going because of the materials I need for the midterm exam. professor.”

“There must have been other dungeons.”

“…I thought I would not have enough time to find it…”

“I guess so.”

Professor Voladi nodded.

A good mage can achieve several goals at the same time, even if she does only one thing.

When there are necessary materials in an underground dungeon, a weak and lazy wizard enters an easy place, but a prosperous battle wizard deliberately enters a difficult place and trains himself.

Wardanaz was such a wizard.

“I just managed a dungeon.”

“……”

If it was a naturally occurring dungeon located in a remote location, no one would care whether monsters popped out or abnormalities occurred, but dungeons located inside magic schools did not.

If the monsters in the dungeon come out and cause a riot right now, it’s the professors’ workshop to break it.

People like Professor Voladi periodically checked the dungeons and checked the conditions inside.

What was the flow of magical energy in the dungeon, what was the number of monsters, whether there was any sign of them rushing out to the top, etc.

However, to Lee Han, Professor Boladi’s words seemed to have a slightly different meaning.

‘Didn’t it cause such an uproar thanks to the special preparation for me last time?’

A chill of uneasiness crept down my spine.

Not knowing Lee Han’s feelings, his friends threw out their thanks.

“thank you. professor.”

“I’ll have a good trip!”

“Contrary to rumors, you’re a very kind person, aren’t you?”

“As expected, rumors are not to be believed.”

“……”

* * *

“Burn up.”

A spark the size of two fingers was created in the air.

The advantage of the fire element is that it has sufficient destructive power even with simple low-circle magic.

The angler that was hit by the fire brought by the Phoenix Tower priest instantly slowed down.

“Burn up!”

“Burn!”

Even the simplest Circle 1 magic, < Create Flame >, became even more powerful when several students overlapped it.

The preta burned in an instant and collapsed.

“Excellent.”

The priests lightly nodded at Lee Han’s praise.

The White Tiger Tower students following behind snorted.

“There were so many of them using magic and only catching one, how wonderful.”

“Isn’t it too wasteful? After all, fighting is done with a sword.”

The students of the White Tiger Tower spoke confidently as they prepared to apply strengthening magic to their wooden swords.

Lee Han, who had a grudge against him for teasing Professor Boladi earlier, spoke coldly.

“Pull out your sword. Let’s see if you can block my magic.”

“…Woah Wardanaz. Why are you so straight…”

“Wow, weren’t we a little rude to the priests?”

The White Tiger Tower students were frightened when they saw Lee Han’s expression.

He hadn’t expected that Wodanaz would make such a serious face just because he had boasted a few words.

‘Oops. What have I done?’

Lee Han immediately came to his senses.

I have to get along with the students, but from the start…

“I’m sorry. I was talking too much.”

“Oh no. We also spoke harshly to the priests.”

Asan swiped under his nose with a proud expression.

A man who stood up for the honor of others was truly a man of honor.

He was proud to have such a person as his friend.

“I am proud of you. Wodanaz.”

“??”

Lee Han looked at Asan as if he were a strange person.

“for a moment. Don’t go that way, go back this way.”

“A ghost has come out. Take care of it at the White Tiger Tower.”

“Watch out for that wall over there. It is a section where the angler is well hidden.”

“Watch out for the floor. The mud is deep.”

Lee Han, who focused again, issued a series of instructions.

At first, the students who followed without much thought gradually felt strange.

‘…uh?’

‘Why do you know so well?’

Of course, as the person who found this dungeon was Wardanaz, it was not strange that he knew the beginning well.

However, even though he went quite deep, Wardanaz was completely familiar with the dungeon.

As if it had come and gone over and over again.

“That guy from Wardanaz knows this dungeon surprisingly well.”

“The professor earlier was the < Repetitive Learning of Basic Magical Combat > professor, right? I heard that the lecture was a bit strange, but didn’t you lecture here?”

“Don’t make silly jokes. What kind of crazy lecture would be given in a dungeon like this.”

Hearing the white tiger tower students chatter, Nilia closed her eyes.

Wardanaz was a person who did not buy sympathy from others, but at least this time, he felt sorry for him from the bottom of his heart.

I happened to hear a lecture like that…

After the narrow aisle, there was a plaza that was wide enough for all the students who were going in a row to gather in one place.

Lee Han said seriously.

“ruler. Be really careful from here on out.”

“Wardanaz. You can stop worrying about it.”

The confidence of the students of the White Tiger Tower, who dealt well with the hungry ghosts that appeared on the way down, was quite high.

In fact, not only the students of the White Tiger Tower, but also the students of the other towers had somewhat relaxed faces.

It was only natural that I came down with ease compared to when I was so nervous at first.

“From here, the devil’s mouth will come out.”

“……”

“……”

“…Don’t lie to me.”

“It’s not a lie. From now on, since Rakshagwi will appear, I will avoid his territory and move.”

The structure of Professor Voladi’s underground dungeon, which Lee Han forcibly learned, was as follows.

First, the narrow passages leading down to the basement connected to the entrance.

Here, hungry ghosts came out of hiding and surprised the wizards.

If you go down like that, you will come out with a wide square-shaped topography.

In fact, there were very few monks in such a wide area. Unless some lunatic deliberately puts monsters together.

And going further down from here was the area where the devil’s mouth came out.

As much as the size of Rakshagwi, the terrain has become much wider, but it has also become more complicated.

A vast rocky mountain valley dotted with natural caves.

If it wasn’t for the underground dungeon, Lee Han would have thought so.

“There are caves all over the way down. Some of these caves contain devils. Rakshagwi is a monster with a lot of appetite, so it sleeps in the cave until it notices the presence of its prey. So avoid the cave where the devil’s mouth is. Then I have nothing to deal with.”

“How can you find out?”

“I will give you a signal.”

“How can you trust your signal, wordanaz? How could you notice?”

“If you don’t believe me, go inside.”

“Ah… no, I was just asking.”

After questioning for no reason, when Lee Han straightened up, the student lowered his tail.

One of the Black Turtle Tower students tilted his head and murmured.

“Looks like Wodanaz is exceptionally sharp.”

“It must be a dangerous place. He’s a guy with a strong sense of responsibility.”

The students never imagined that Lee Han would risk his life and roll first in this underground dungeon valley.

* * *

How far down did it go?

The students who descended, avoiding the caves as much as possible, were delighted to see the colonies of plants.

Priestess Cyana whispered in a small voice with her eyes shining.

“Bone flower is right!”

“I found it.”

Two or three students from each tower came out and began digging the flowers carefully.

The rest of the students stood guard all over the place. They said they avoided all the caves with Rakshagwi, but there was a ‘what if’.

“for a moment. Isn’t that a light?”

One of the students at the White Tiger Tower, standing guard, pointed with his finger to the back of a rock at the bottom of the slope.

It was a little far away, but a bluish light was radiating softly.

“Are the lights right? Isn’t that an artifact?”

Durgyu said carefully.

“I think it’s better not to move recklessly.”

“Wordanaz said that cave has no devil’s mouth. It’s fine over there.”

“That’s true, but if…”

Before Durgyu could finish his words, the White Tiger Tower student carried a torch and carefully descended the steep slope.

And checked behind the rock. There was a helmet that gave off a really bluish light.

“It’s an artifact! It’s an artifact! Durgyu Look at this!”

“Okay, come back soon!”

“okay. I am going right now!”

The White Tiger Tower student tried to climb the slope again.

-■■■…

Until the Rakemaw suddenly appeared from behind a rock, glared at the student, and growled.

“…!”

The student’s muscles stiffened at the sudden appearance of the monster. My hand slipped and my weight shifted, knocking rocks off the slope.

A situation where the road suddenly disappeared and was trapped below like a devil’s mouth.

Durgyu was frightened and called Lee Han.

“Lee Han!”

“!”

Lee Han reacted immediately. I could feel the urgency in Durgyu’s voice.

I was able to figure out the situation without asking

“what…” .

A student from the White Tiger Tower and Rakemaw descending down a steep slope.

‘for a moment. I’m sure it wasn’t in that cave?’

Lee Han did not understand.

Of course, the student from the White Tiger Tower went down carelessly, but how can you do it when there are no devils around?

In an instant, Professor Voladi’s face flashed in Lee Han’s mind.

-You just managed a dungeon.

“……”

Possibility that Professor Voladi placed a wandering Rakshagwi for Lee Han to give him appropriate stimulation the next time he came in?

“Hold on! I’m going to help!”

Lee Han, realizing his mistake, said firmly to cover it up.

If you leave it alone, ‘What? There was a possibility that Lee Han was responsible for it, saying, ‘Why did you come out when you said that Raksha Maw didn’t come out?’

The student from the White Tiger Tower who fell below was even more surprised.

He knew that Wodanaz would throw it away, saying that it was ‘self-sufficient’.

Durgyu shouted as if he knew that.

“Hold on somehow! Lee Han will help you!”

“what’s the matter?”

“The white tiger tower fell down!”

“why?”

“I don’t know! What were you trying to pick up!”

“Such an idiot!”

Lee Han made his friends stop criticizing him.

“Anyone can make a mistake. Stop it.”

“Wardanaz…!”
