Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Episode 662

Suddenly, a friend is dragged into a social arena where dueling fanatics run rampant, and the students are just as flustered.

“Sleep… wait a minute. professor.”

Shiana hurriedly stepped out.

Professor Voladi stared at Cyanna. It was to hear what the students were saying.

“…Take them with you.”

“Priestess Siana…!”

Lee Han said in a voice full of betrayal.

He praised the Flemain Church so much!

“I’m sorry. I was so scared.”

‘I understand.’

Seeing Sianna get scared and run away among her friends, Lee Han was very sympathetic.

I just witnessed Professor Voladi stabbing his junior and attacking Lee Han like he was going to kill him.

“You have to think of a way. If we leave it as it is, Wodanaz-nim will end up being dragged into the underground arena!”

“The dueling club is not an underground arena…”

“Professor! Wardanaj’s leg is broken!”

Ratford was cunning.

I wouldn’t take a student with a broken leg to the dueling club.

Professor Boladi looked at Lee Han’s legs and said calmly.

“You are fine.”

“…Now that it’s like this, there’s nothing we can do about it. I have no choice but to actually break one.”

“I don’t think Lee Han will like it.”

“We can’t just leave it like this!”

Friends argued over whether Lee Han’s leg should be broken or whether he should break his arm.

Professor Voladi, who had been waiting, checked the time and said.

“Let’s talk about the rest as we go. It takes time to get it all in.”

“……”

“…?”

The students paused.

Something was strange.

“All?”

“Are you saying everything… you mean… all of us?”

The professor agreed. Gainando exclaimed in astonishment.

“School… Professor. Unlike Lee Han, I don’t even listen to the professor’s lectures!”

‘Because he’s such a coward.’

Lee Han grumbled inwardly as he saw Gainando trying to run away alone.

Of course, I could understand being scared, but to think he was trying to run away so blatantly!

“Okay. It wouldn’t be fair if I introduced Wodanaz alone.”

Professor Boladi was surprisingly a person who cared about education law quite a bit.

If it was Professor Verdus, he would have taken Lee Han alone (he might not have taken him before then), but Professor Bolardi met other students during the vacation, and he thought it was not very fair to take Lee Han alone to the dueling club.

No matter how much Lee Han is a disciple of Professor Boladi, wouldn’t it be possible for the students to feel sorry for him if he takes special care of him as a disciple?

Just as I bought everyone a meal, I was thinking of taking everyone to the dueling club.

“…Oh no. It’s not that I don’t want to go…”

Guinando was at a loss for words at Professor Boladi’s skill at interpreting ‘I don’t listen to the lecture’ as ‘I don’t listen to the lecture, can I go to the duel club too’.

Seeing that, Lee Han felt better for nothing.

‘Should I have let the others listen too?’

* * *

The Flaher City Dueling Club was a relatively new club.

A club founded by some belligerent lower nobles in the city, duelists, and merchants who smelled gold coins from them.

The atmosphere wasn’t bad though.

Originally, if the history is short, it tends to depend on luxury.

The merchants who invested in this dueling club generously scattered gold coins to get proper results.

When I first arrived in front of the building, admiration came from the dueling club sign hanging over the door.

-Flaher City Dueling Club.

Even if there is no special modifier, if you twist a gold thread and a silver thread and apply light magic, you will have dignity.

When I opened the heavy bronze door and went inside, the magic stone chandelier hanging from the ceiling was emitting warm light, and I could see people gathering and talking in each neatly divided area below.

Starting from the restaurant area where simple sandwiches, rice balls and coffee or tea are sold, the area where club members gather and share recent events.

“So, I think Prince Bogajun…”

“You tend to worship the royal family too much!”

“What what?! Are you, then, an unscrupulous aristocrat or an independent!”

“If you don’t take that word back, it will be a duel!”

And even a duel area prepared for a dignified duel and spectators to watch them from the side.

The floor of the arena, made of magically treated mahogany wood, was stronger than most shields, and the field of defense blocking the spectator seats was strong enough to block anyone from being thrown or flying during a duel.

‘It’s not bad.’

He was from the Ukim family, a family of knights, and was satisfied with the atmosphere of the dueling club.

Compared to the poor environment of the duel club founded by Einrogard students, this place was almost like heaven. Although it was a bit flashy, it seemed like it would last quite a while.

Palga intended to practice dueling here for the rest of the vacation.

A duel is basically a tense fight where you have to think about dozens of things in a short time of less than one second.

As such, it was important to sharpen and polish the senses.

After resting throughout the vacation, when I returned rusted, I could buy ridicule from my dueling club friends.

“Who do you think will win today?”

“Well, Sir Celese’s swordsmanship is obviously excellent, but even a man called Gorang who can stand up to it is not easy.”

“I heard rumors that he was a mercenary and his nickname was Razor. Razor furrows.”

‘Lord Celese furrow. good.’

Palga’s last visit was 4 days ago.

In the meantime, I was worried that there would be new duelists in the club. In a duel, the always dangerous thing was the unfamiliar opponent.

But Sir Celese and Gorang were people he had seen before.

During the break, Palga prepared a strategy to fight the two. Today, the preparation will definitely shine.

“By the way, who was that person yesterday?”

“Well, the Count said he was surprised and looked for it. Maybe it’s not a famous duel? I really want I thought all the members would collapse!”

“Lord Celese said he would definitely take revenge. Aren’t you looking forward to it?”

“Well I think he might get banned from the club. If there is such a person, the members will remain.”

“What! To say they were banned from entering because they were strong. You mean there is no honor as a duelist?”

“No matter how good the honor is, isn’t there a limit to that? If you beat them all like that every time, you won’t have any opponents.”

“…?”

I wondered what the arm was talking about.

What happened while you weren’t out?

‘Has a new duelist arrived? What kind of person are you?’

I felt my heart pounding in my arms.

Some incompetent and cowardly duelists were reluctant to fight when an opponent stronger than them appeared.

But it wasn’t Palga.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to learn a lesson from an opponent stronger than you?

If it was a really strong opponent, he moved his arms forward, promising that he would politely ask for it.

“Aren’t you, by any chance, the Ukim family’s Palgakyung?”

“yes. But it is not an official article.”

“I know. We talked about it last week! He was the one who went to Ein Lorgard!”

“yes. you’re right.”

Palga gave a proud answer to the member’s words.

It was the students of Einrogard who cursed Einrogard the most in the empire, but that didn’t mean they didn’t lack pride.

How would you go to this school if you had no pride?

“There are Einrogard students here, what an amazing coincidence! I would like to introduce you!”

“?!”

Palga was taken aback by the member’s words.

The empire is small, but I never thought I’d meet the same Einrogard students here.

Durgyu and Lee Han, who were sitting in front of him, exchanged glances with awkward expressions.

-sorry. Han Lee.

– No… It’s not your fault.

While all the friends were looking around the dueling club in twos and threes, Lee Han and Durgyu were also looking at the dueling club.

-Hey, can’t we set a trap in advance? Just in case you fight with the professor.

-…Leehan…

-Haha. I’m kidding. joke.

-Your eyes are no joke at all.

In the meantime, a member suddenly called.

-Aren’t you from the Choi family?

-That’s right.

– Hey! I’m from the Aldar family…!

Members of the dueling club from the Aldarle family were as close as relatives to distant relatives of the Choi family.

However, in a club that was gathered for social purposes, it was almost like family if you had a relationship like this.

In fact, this orc man really liked the two of them and started buying them something to eat.

– If you are a student, you must still eat a lot. haha. Please eat. Please eat! I will live.

– No… You can’t get something like this from someone you met for the first time today…

– Could you bring me some more pancakes? ruler. Eat it. Aren’t you going to be hungry for a while?

-I just ate…

-Eat more. You are very skinny!

Lee Han and Durgyu couldn’t bear to refuse the favor, so they started inhaling pancakes and sandwiches.

Fortunately, the food at the club was delicious.

But Uncle Aldar didn’t end there. I recognized a passing Einrogard student and immediately started talking to him.

-Aren’t you, by any chance, the Palgagyeong of the Ukim family?

And now.

Lee Han and Durgyu were sitting face to face with their seniors with awkward expressions.

With only a smile on his face, he filled the three glasses with black tea with lots of sugar.

“I really want it. It’s been a while since I ordered bacon, but it’s still not coming out. I’ll check in a bit.”

“You don’t have to…!”

The three of them were able to breathe a sigh of relief only after Mr. Orc woke up.

Palga realized that these two juniors were also half-forced, and felt friendly.

“Looks like they were both suddenly dragged away. Empire clubs are like that. People gathered for the purpose of socializing, so if you miss it, you end up sitting in front of strangers you’ve never seen before.”

“I definitely felt it today. thank you This is Durgyu from the Choi family. I am Lee Han.”

Lee Han secretly avoided the name of the Wardanaj family.

In front of the family of knights, the name of the Wodanaz family did not do much good.

“I am a member of the Ukim family. It turned out that they were the juniors of the White Tiger Top. nice to meet.”

Palga smiled and welcomed them both.

Having the same tower was special even within Ein Lorgard. It was worth welcoming from Palga’s point of view.

“What were you doing here, senior?”

“Ein Rogard Dueling Club… Ah. It’s okay if I tell you guys. Anyway, from next semester, you will know about the club. I belong to the Ein Rogard dueling club. I came here to sharpen my senses through practice.”

“Are you not paying?”

Palga burst into laughter at the immature junior’s question.

“Where did you hear the false rumors? Not all duelists bet money. lets think. A duel is a sacred act in which two prepared players do their best to win. It’s hard to get a little over half the win rate. It’s not a good choice to bet big on a gamble like this.”

Palga told stories of duelists who gambled their fortunes for fun and quickly went bankrupt.

Bad luck is also bad luck, but in Palga’s opinion, their bad luck must have been the punishment that came because they had blasphemed the sanctity of the duel.

However, Lee Han only pretended to listen.

‘I can’t even make money and just enjoy the duel. The culture of Einrogard Dueling Club is very strange.’

“What were you guys doing here? Did you come to duel training like me?”

“Oh no. We came with the professor. The professor said he would introduce you to the dueling club.”

“You say you go out with your professor during vacation!? Why the hell did you do that?”

“haha. We met by chance.”

At Lee Han’s answer, Palga looked at his junior as if he felt sorry for him.

How unlucky would it be to meet a professor on vacation?

“Which professor are you?”

“Professor Bagreck.”

Boom!!!

With a loud noise, Palga fell backwards.
