Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 176

“The Cheeky Guys.”

muttered Giselle.

At that, Lee Han looked at Giselle as if asking what he was talking about.

“Are you cocky? What do you mean?”

“I can see it when I look into your eyes. Can’t you feel it?”

The white tiger tower students who are not dull were feeling to some extent.

The eyes of the newly visited apprentice knights were not very favorable.

Originally, there was no need to be softer than necessary for the opponents who were about to face off. Because when we were fighting for no reason, there could only be hesitation.

However, even taking that into consideration, the apprentice knights’ eyes crossed the line.

arrogant pride.

It was Giselle who never missed her place as the leader of the group wherever she went.

I recognized the emotion in that gaze more keenly than anyone else.

“You are… ignoring us.”

Durgyu said with a quiet voice. Giselle nodded.

“okay. I am ignoring you.”

“Why are you ignoring me?”

Lee Han asked as if he did not understand.

“Lee Han. Think carefully. We come from a family of knights, but we came to school to learn magic. What would you think if you saw something like that?”

“That guy can use swords and magic, so he must be twice as strong?”

“……”

Giselle looked at Lee Han as if she was absurd.

“Thank you. However, young knights with short thoughts often ignore them or argue with them because they went to learn magic. I never expected to see it in person like this.”

“hmm. Right.”

Lee Han nodded.

Since the knight families knew each other by name to some extent, it was natural for the heirs of that family to fight over their pride like this.

As young as each other, even the smallest thing will hurt your pride…

‘You’re doing really useless things. It’s a situation where we’ll all be working together in the future anyway.’

“Wardanaz. Aren’t you angry?”

As Lee Han sat down with an expressionless expression, another White Tiger Tower student started talking to him in an angry voice.

How dare people from outside start a fight.

“I?”

“okay! They’re ignoring you too!”

“I’m not from a knight family, so it doesn’t matter, right?”

“……”

“……”

Is that so?

Only then did the White Tiger Tower students realize that Lee Han did not come from a knight family.

It was so natural between them that I inadvertently…

“Choi.”

One of the apprentice knights, perhaps knowing Durgyu, approached and greeted him.

Durgyu also nodded and said hello.

“I didn’t expect to meet you like this.”

“me too.”

“I heard a lot of rumors about Ein Rogard. He said he taught magic harshly. Did you have time to train swordsmanship?”

There was a hint of sarcasm in it, but Durgyu didn’t care.

Durgyu looked at Lee Han.

“?”

‘hmm.’

Looking at Lee Han and seeing the apprentice knight in front of me, I felt how childish the apprentice knight was doing.

If it was Lee Han, he would have already cursed the other person when he had time to do such a childish thing.

“It was difficult, so I was able to focus on swordsmanship. I just realized it, but it’s not good to adjust all the environments so that I can focus only on swordsmanship.”

It was half sincere.

He was provided with ample time, generous meals and comfortable bedding from his family, and his skills improved faster at this magic academy than when he wielded a sword.

harsh environment.

Competing with outstanding friends.

These are things that improve the skill of the prosecutor.

Those words seemed to have offended the other apprentice knight. The apprentice knight frowned.

“Suffering is the way to perfect swordsmanship. But the hardships you’ve been through can’t dare compare to the hardships we’ve been through. Choi.”

“Maybe. However, the sword does not decide whether to win or lose by comparing such things. I think it would be better to say more than this with a sword.”

“joy! Even if you don’t say that, I’m going to show you.”

The apprentice knight turned around with an even more frown.

Lee Han, who was listening to the conversation, asked Giselle as if wondering.

“Where are those apprentice knights living?”

“I will stay at the Templar building in the city.”

Giselle replied bluntly.

“Are you not giving me food?”

“Can it be?”

“Are you banned from going out?”

“You said it was a knights building in the city. There is no way to ban it.”

“…But in what ways do they say they are more difficult?”

Lee Han’s voice was cold to the point of being cold. Even Giselle was surprised.

* * *

Professor Ingeldell nodded his head as he saw the eagerly shining eyes of the students.

Since everyone is still young, it was only natural to burn a competitive spirit in this situation.

How to hurt your pride much more when you lose to a trainee knight of a similar age than to a knight of the White Sheep Knights, who have a vast gap.

Even Wodanaz was staring at the apprentice knights with a hard face. It was a good face with determination.

“professor.”

“What is it, Wodanaz?”

“We are students learning magic at a magic school. I think it’s right to allow magic like you did in the previous Dalian.”

Naturally, Professor Ingeldell banned the use of magic in this sparring.

The opponent is not even an official knight, so there is no need to use magic. It was right to focus only on swordsmanship.

Of course, then the magic school students could be pushed back by the apprentice knights…

but Professor Ingeldell thought it didn’t matter.

If their pride gets hurt a little due to being pushed back in the Dalian, it will be a driving force for the magic school students to concentrate on swordsmanship.

“It’s not possible. It’s a swordsmanship test.”

“But Professor. Swordsmanship sparring doesn’t mean wielding only a sword. When the opportunity arises, we also use striking and joint techniques, but taking magic away from us is too harsh.”

Lee Han’s logic was persuasive.

It was an idiot to wield only a sword for swordsmanship sparring.

If necessary, he had to be able to punch for an opening and throw his opponent’s legs off balance.

Broadly speaking, this is all included in swordsmanship.

While the apprentice knights practiced such comprehensive skills outside, the magic school students practiced magic, so it was only natural that they wanted to use it in sparring.

‘Was I too harsh?’

Professor Ingeldell slightly reflected on Lee Han’s words.

Maybe he was too harsh because of his desire to make his students stronger…

Professor Elf looked up at Lee Han.

Then, suddenly, my mind came back.

He knew right away what would happen if he allowed magic to the Wardanaz family boy in front of him.

“It’s not possible.”

‘Tsk.’

Lee Han felt sorry inside.

‘I can win easily if I just let him use magic.’

It was not conceited, but rather a sober prediction.

The more the opponent didn’t know the magic, the more effective it was.

The apprentice knights will not know the magic Lee Han uses at all, so if you bind him with a water ball, throw a curse, and then deal with it with a series of lightning strikes

…

Lee Han raised a wooden sword. There was nothing good about holding on to the wrong way and dragging it for a long time.

“…Wardanaz? Why are you coming out?”

The opposing apprentice knight looked at Lee Han with a puzzled expression.

Lee Han replied with an innocent face.

“I am taking a swordsmanship class for health and culture.”

“Ah… is that so?”

The apprentice knight shook his head.

It wasn’t unusual for nobles to learn swordsmanship for culture or interest.

Of course, compared to the actual swordsmanship of the knights, most of them were at the level of shaming.

As soon as I thought it was like that, the power naturally drained from the apprentice knight’s body. The posture of holding the wooden sword also loosened. I could feel that my whole body was looking down on my opponent.

Lee Han was happy to see that.

‘If I had entered the magic school, I wouldn’t have lasted even a week.’

Fooled by such a basic trick.

“Aren’t the other White Tiger Tower students quarreling?”

Even the apprentice knight worried about Lee Han.

Since he is not from a knight family, he does not see him as a competitor.

“no. Everyone is kindly helping. Thanks to you, I’m lacking a lot, but I can follow.”

“okay. A knight always respects and helps the weak.”

The apprentice knight pounded his chest and said. Lee Han thought to himself.

‘The white tigers from the tower attacked three-on-one from the first day, after all.’

“Then shall we begin?”

“okay. Be careful not to get hurt.”

The apprentice knight stood holding a wooden sword. Lee Han also stood holding a wooden sword.

Professor Ingeldell waved his flag.

Fuck!

The apprentice knight felt the illusion that a rock was running towards him. The power of the blow Lee Han wielded exceeded expectations.

In the middle of ‘Oh’, the wooden sword in his hand broke and flew away, and the wooden sword Lee Han held out stopped in front of his neck.

“Are you going to admit defeat?”

“Victory of Wardanaz!”

Professor Ingeldell said firmly, as if there was nothing more to see.

Only then did the apprentice knight come back to his senses, blinking his eyes repeatedly and speaking in an urgent voice.

“Wait a minute…!? What is this…?!”

But Lee Han had already turned around and walked away.

‘As long as I cheated, I should jump out quickly.’

“Where are you going, Wodanaz?”

“Isn’t it over?”

“We have to fight the winners again.”

Professor Ingeldell pointed in the other direction and said.

The apprentice knights who had won the White Tiger Tower students were walking one by one.

In an instant, Lee Han loosened up his body and awkwardly adjusted his posture.

But it’s already too late. The apprentice knights who were walking were looking at Lee Han and whispering.

-So, that Lee Han from the Wodanaz family beat Bikelinz-sama?

– Because it is.

– Does that make sense?

-Isn’t it like using magic?

‘Twice would be impossible.’

Lee Han had a hunch that he would not be able to eat raw for the next fight.

* * *

“Wardanaz. Let me ask you one thing.”

“what?”

“Did you really beat Mr. Bikelinz?”

“I didn’t do it alone. In fact, Durgyu and Moradi’s credit was greater.”

“I heard it wasn’t Bikelinz-sama?”

“……”

Han Lee cursed Bikelinz inwardly.

It’s like an unnecessarily honest article.

“There are hidden circumstances.”

“What is the matter?”

“That’s…”

“Start!”

Professor Ingeldell waved the flag again. The two grabbed the sword and made a stance.

The opposing apprentice knight came up after winning once, and knowing that Lee Han had won, he wasn’t as vigilant as before.

Lee Han opened his mouth again.

“Actually, Bikelinz-sama…”

“!”

The apprentice knight inadvertently listened to Lee Han when he opened his mouth. At that moment, Lee Han’s wall cancer sword shone.

Byeogamgeom, a heavy and strong heavy sword type swordsmanship, was not easy to counterattack once the player was taken away. The apprentice knight’s posture was messed up by the heavy flying attack.

Pak Pak Pak Pak Pak!

Five attacks followed, and the apprentice knight fell down. Lee Han stopped his sword in front of his opponent’s neck.

“Victory of Wardanaz!”

Lee Han turned around as quickly as before.

There was no need to make eye contact with the apprentice knight who was glaring at him with a sense of betrayal.

‘after. It’s neatly finished.’

Fortunately, it was easy to finish.

Both fights ended perfectly without allowing a single hit, so the midterm exam was of course a perfect score…

“I’m sorry. Lee Han.”

“?”

“I lost…”

Durgyu apologized.

After a fierce battle with the apprentice knight, he was finally defeated.

“…What about Moradi? Did Moradi lose too?”

“Moradi is a draw. I broke my bones together with you.”

“…no way.”

“Wardanaz. Take a break and prepare for the final showdown.”

At Professor Ingeldell’s words, Lee Han sighed inwardly.

‘shit. To think I had to go until the 3rd round.’

I thought Durgyu or Moradi would beat the remaining apprentice knights, but only one remained.

Lee Han raised his head.

The apprentice knights gathered were staring at Lee Han while whispering. It was obvious what they were talking about.

“It’s a swordsmanship that I’m learning as a culture, but I’m really lucky to have come up to this position.”

“Don’t play tricks, Wodanaz!”

“Tsk.”
