Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Episode 789:

Nilia ran at full speed like a hunter in the northern mountains. He was so desperate that he even took the potion out of his arms and drank it.

I will never let magic criminals spread false rumors!

“Wardanaz! hurry!!”

“Ugh…”

‘If I just stay still, no one will care, right?’

Lee Han extended his magical power to his entire body, temporarily improving his physical abilities, and then chased after his friend.

I could have used a few more strengthening spells here, but I didn’t think it was to that extent.

Honestly, if I just stay quiet, I think the Einrogard students will ask, ‘Who is the young hunter?’…

“I can’t believe Antagondals was attacked by just a young hunter…!”

“Hey, stand there!”

Nilia gritted her teeth and chased the bat.

As I turned around the alley, I saw third-year seniors playing magic at the end of the hallway.

“Should I throw it here or there…”

“Can’t you do it faster?”

“Uh huh. Be quiet. “It is my right to decide when to throw something that not even the headmaster of the skull can touch…”

“I can’t believe Antagondals was attacked by a mere young hunter…!”

“sorry!”

“I’ll pass!”

“???”

The seniors who were trying to hit him by throwing a stone with a magic circle on it looked at him in confusion.

“What just happened?”

“for a moment. Didn’t you just say Antagondals? “That magic criminal?”

The seniors were amazed as they watched the two juniors running away.

Juniors these days are not normal!

Meanwhile, the bat circled the alley once again.

This time, I saw seniors playing wizard hopscotch. Nilia shouted in a voice full of resentment.

“Why are there so many seniors in the hallway today?!”

“A toxic swamp has burst on the 6th floor, so the seniors there are probably…”

“I can’t believe Antagondals was attacked by a mere young hunter…!”

“?!”

The senior, who had stepped on step number 4 and stumbled due to a spinning curse, was startled.

“Did you say Antagondals? “What’s going on?”

“Looking at that ugly thing that turned into a bat, I think it must have been destroyed after an clone was sent.”

“No matter how much they are clones, the juniors are really amazing!”

“……”

“……”

The two fell silent after hearing the exclamations of their seniors.

Lee Han thought to himself.

‘Should I fall now?’

When I thought about it, Antagondals was only talking about Nilia.

If only Lee Han stopped quietly…

“Wardanaz…!”

“I didn’t think anything.”

“What are you talking about? “It stopped!”

“!”

When Nilia pointed forward, the weakened bat fell down and collapsed.

Nylia, who was panting heavily, spoke in a relieved voice.

“Still, I don’t think any strange rumors would spread. yes?”

“uh? Uh… um. what. yes.”

Lee Han didn’t want to hurt his friend’s bright expectations, so he told a white lie.

* * *

“…So this is the situation.”

“Isn’t it too dangerous?!”

“Well, that’s right. “You have to be careful.”

“……”

Nilia was shocked to see her friend talking in a tone like, ‘It might rain tomorrow, so take an umbrella.’

‘Has my sense of danger been paralyzed…!?’

I didn’t know that my sense of danger was paralyzed because I had experienced so many particularly difficult times in Einrogard.

‘No, even though other friends went through difficult times, it wasn’t to that extent. Maybe that’s what Wardanaz used to be like…’

Nilia proceeded to make a very rude guess.

“Anyway, Nilia. Are you taking the ‘Wizard’s Life with Plants’ lecture?”

“huh. I’m listening. why?”

Lee Han cried out in joy.

‘It’s a second-year lecture!’

When I looked at the name of the course, it was a botany course, but I was worried because I couldn’t tell whether it was a second-year course or a third-year course.

I was extremely happy to be teaching a second-year class.

“I’m so glad. “A second-year lecture.”

“……”

Nilia stared at her friend with eyes mixed with sympathy, regret, astonishment, and fear.

“What was the content of the last lecture?”

“I didn’t do much. Since this is your first lecture, please explain what the lecture is about and show us some rare and interesting plants. really. “The professor is a willow spirit.”

“Right.”

“that’s right. Wardanaz, are you listening to Professor Verdus’ lecture? “How was the lecture?”

Nilia asked curiously.

Although they were from the same Buyeo magic school, Lee Han was curious about the differences as he was taking a third-year class.

“Uh… right. 〈Wand Materials and Magic Amplification〉. Nilia, were you in ‘Introduction to Bestowing Magic’?”

“that’s right. “Senior Yukveltire teaches.”

“how is it? Are you as eccentric as Professor Verdus?”

“no? “You teach well?”

“…?”

Lee Han couldn’t believe his ears.

You teach well.

Has the term “taught well” at Einrogard changed to have a different meaning?

“You teach well?”

“uh. “You teach well.”

Nilia briefly explained Yukveltire’s lecture.

Although he was basically a person who had little interest in his juniors, Yukbeltire was not someone who just did his job and abandoned his work like Professor Verdus.

As the contents to be taught in each lecture were accurately and systematically organized in detail and distributed to juniors, the second year Buyeo Magic School students had few complaints.

And in the first place, compared to Professor Verdus’ lecture last year, it felt unconditionally better!

“……”

After hearing the explanation, Lee Han felt aggrieved.

Of course, I didn’t want Senior Yukveltyre to bully my second year friends, but this is a bit…

‘Why do crazy people become normal when I don’t see them?’

“Wardanaz you?”

“We… are studying by stealing the professor’s work.”

“hey. “Don’t joke.”

“……”

“…Isn’t this a joke?”

Nilia suddenly felt very sorry.

“I’m sorry. “I didn’t know it was real.”

“Stealing a professor’s work and studying is kind of fun. “It’s also beneficial.”

“really?”

“no. “I just lied.”

“……”

“……”

An awkward silence lingered between the two.

Nilia suggested to change the mood.

“Then, let’s go to the ‘Wizard’s Life with Plants’ classroom first! “I’ll show you around before today’s lecture starts!”

The classroom where this botany lecture was held was a greenhouse filled with all kinds of plants.

It was quite fun just to take care of it and look at it, so much so that you could see many students coming to the classroom to study even when it was not lecture time.

Of course, I knew that Lee Han was taking lectures so much that he had very little free time, but it was almost meal time…

“I was supposed to go to the kitchen club and help out.”

“Then let’s go together after that. “I will help you too.”

“After I’m done with that, I have to go to the Gyeokgu club and take care of the animals for a while.”

“…Then let’s do that too.”

“After that, I’ll go to the masonry club…”

“Hey, work on it!”

Nilia couldn’t bear it anymore and ended up getting angry at her friend.

* * *

After hearing his friend’s sincere anger, Lee Han reflected and canceled his club plans.

And only one left.

“It would be a good idea to cancel this kitchen club event. “I heard that the seniors were on the verge of rioting.”

“…the food isn’t delicious.”

Nilia had no choice but to admit it.

The kitchen club’s meals, which are responsible for feeding the hungry stomachs of countless Einrogard students, were always breathtaking.

Since the quantity has to be made somehow with limited ingredients, the taste is bound to be relatively inferior.

However, such circumstances did not persuade the Einrogard students, who paid a gold coin each for their meals.

-Hey, you crazy people! Stop giving me bread made with ground soybeans! Make sure to mix in at least half of the flour!

-I can’t clean up the corn porridge!

-If you’re going to keep giving me this salted meat, give me rocks instead. A rock would be easy to break!

“I’m curious, where on earth do you get that salted meat?”

Nilia was puzzled.

Wizards over 2nd year of age could use various magics, so preserving meat was not difficult.

But why is it that salt-cured meat harder than a rock is consistently served at Kitchen Club?

“I was curious too, so I asked, and he said the principal usually buys them in bulk from outside.”

“……”

Nilia was shocked by Lee Han’s explanation.

What…?

“Now, when I look around schools, there are kitchens that are relatively easy to get into, but I hear there are a lot of fake kitchens in those kitchens. “The principal deliberately buys and stocks tasteless groceries.”

‘You’re so absorbed in something so useless!’

Nilia was once again thrilled by the skeleton principal’s tenacity.

Why do things like this just to see students suffer when they could have just left out the groceries…

“But it’s better than nothing. “If you cook it well, you can eat it.”

No matter how hard the meat is, if you pound it, tear it, cut it into small pieces, throw it in water, and boil it like bread, it becomes a savory meal.

Of course, I didn’t know whether the students who ate it would be satisfied, but…

“Seniors. “I’m here.”

“Wardanaz! “I was waiting!”

The kitchen club members cheered and welcomed Lee Han.

Actually, to be precise, I welcomed the groceries that Lee Han would bring. For the members who always suffered from limited food ingredients, this junior was a miracle worker.

“What about flour?”

“I wrote it all yesterday. I was trying to secure wheat, but the 6th floor was poisoned…”

“What about rice?”

“There was a little bit left.”

“As for the meat…”

Lee Han took out the ingredients he had brought with him and discussed carefully with his seniors.

Seeing that, Nilia felt ashamed that she had complained about receiving a meal from the Kitchen Club.

-This is a gold coin? If Wardanaz sees this, he will faint in shock!

‘You criticize others without even considering their circumstances.’

“First, let’s make porridge with oats.”

“The response to oat porridge is not very good. “The dishes may fly away.”

“Let’s fool the eye by adding other ingredients. Onions, carrots… eh. “We also use cheese.”

“Even cheese!? “Isn’t it too luxurious?”

“Cut it thinly. “How about cutting up the salted meat and putting it inside the porridge, and cutting the ham I brought outside and removing it?”

“It seems plausible. “You can fool your eyes!”

“……”

Nilia forgot how embarrassed she had just been and glared at her seniors.

As expected, half of the Kitchen Club members were con artists.

To lead her honest friend down a path of deceit like that…

* * *

“Nilia. thank you for helping.”

“This wasn’t the help I thought it would be.”

Nilia muttered and took a step forward.

They thought about skinning the animal and trimming the meat, not pounding it to make it look like there was a lot of meat.

“Three, two, one… Here it is. Yggdrasil Greenhouse. that’s right?”

“that’s right. Just open the door and go in.”

Nilia hurriedly opened the door to give her friend a tour of the classroom before the lecture began.

Helping with the kitchen club (students who gathered for a meal debated whether to throw their plates or not and eventually put them down) took more time than expected.

Whoosh –

the humid and hot air typical of greenhouses rushed out. Professor Willow, who was inside, looked at the two in confusion.

“Isn’t it time for the lecture to start yet?”

“Hello professor. “I came first because I wanted to introduce you to the classroom.”

“Indeed… they are great wizards. Feel free to look around.”

Professor Willow, who was pruning branches, smiled kindly.

Then he stopped when he saw Lee Han.

“long time no see. professor.”

“Wardanaz. … It’s been so long since we met last year! “I’ve heard a lot of rumors, but… More than that, why didn’t you use a cane? You look full of dissatisfaction.”

“……”

Lee Han glared at his staff in frustration.
