Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 715:

Sevius chuckled at the sight of his junior who was burning with enthusiasm.

People facing trials were divided into two categories.

One is a person who runs away from ordeal.

And the other is a person who actively rushes towards trials.

The junior in front of me was definitely the latter. I felt like I could understand a little why my colleagues in the location change club wanted to bring in this new junior.

“I guess the more difficult things are, the more fiery your personality is?”

“?”

Lee Han tilted his head because he had a lot of resentment against Professor Verdus.

“I just don’t like the professor…”

“Professor Verdus’ things are hard to touch.”

Sevius said as he opened the window and came out. Lee Han looked at the warehouse of White Tiger Tower seniors with regretful eyes.

‘I’ll have to remember that.’

A good thief is one who wisely decides what not to steal rather than what to steal.

In that respect, Sevius quietly took only the books he was originally targeting and came out as an excellent thief.

But Lee Han is a slightly different style of thief.

He was more like a thief who would come and get everything if he got a suit and run away.

“Professors are already difficult to touch, but Professor Verdus is especially difficult.”

“Is there any special reason?”

“Professor Verdus has a lot of expensive materials, so students tend to target them first. That’s why Professor Verdus’s defenses are more thorough than other professors.”

“……”

Lee Han felt absurd when he heard the story of Professor Verdus, who was treated like a treasure beaver among his seniors.

A person can become popular like this!

“Fortunately, what we are aiming for is a professor’s book, so it is better. Professor Verdus probably forgot he even had it. But it doesn’t change that it’s difficult. You need to learn at least a few spells before entering. really. “How did you open the window earlier?”

Now that I think about it, there were three magics used to protect the White Tiger Tower warehouse window.

< Paldar Rji's Intermediate Metal Barrier >.

When placed on a metal object, when a hostile intruder occurs, the metal changes and it blocks infiltration attempts.

< Enhancing the Mystery of Axen >.

It is a magic that strengthens and amplifies the power of magic itself, and although it is meaningless on its own, its power is doubled when combined with other magic.

< Zenbaya's Intermediate Lock >.

It was a defensive magic that most effectively prevented non-physical invasion attempts. This was the magic that Sevius was originally trying to dispel.

However, as unexpected magic was added and created a linked effect, it became impossible to penetrate…

This junior did not understand how he opened it.

“If you condense the magical power and swing it like a hammer over as wide an area as possible…”

“I guess it’s the Wardanaz family’s arcane magic.”

Despite Lee Han’s sincere explanation, Sevius took it in a different light.

I can’t tell you because it’s the Wardanaz family’s arcane magic, but you’re replying in such an absurd way.

It was indeed an answer worthy of someone from the Blue Dragon Tower.

“If it’s the family’s arcane magic, there’s no need to tell me. It’s important to keep secrets. “It is something to be praised.”

“……”

The junior glared at him, but Sevius did not notice.

“If you have such magic, it will definitely help in dangerous situations. But you shouldn’t just believe that. “Other magics are needed.”

“What do you have?”

“You know how to use invisibility magic, but you also need to know how to destroy walls. Have you learned any related magic?”

The least difficult method was to use magic to transform wood or rocks into sawdust or sand, but this took a long time and was highly likely to be discovered.

The key to location movement lies in its speed and stealth, so the faster and more powerful the magic, the better.

In the case of Sevius, he used a combination of < Attuga's Slicing Wind > magic and < Rock Devouring Spirit >.

After cutting the wall, send a spirit through it to eat the wall.

“I have learned the < Tutanta Family Rock Decomposition > magic, but it is not yet perfect…”

“Family secret magic? Can you see the power?”

Even if there were magic that produced the same result, there could be infinitely many types.

For example, if you think of magic as making a hole in a wall, it was possible to make a hole in the wall in over hundreds of ways.

Conversion magic is possible, enchantment is possible, pure elemental magic is possible…

Of course, if all of these magics had remained, the wizards’ heads would have exploded from the complexity.

As we were learning under the current imperial magic system that categorized magic based on efficiency, not only wizards but also students were expected to find the most efficient magic among these magics.

But there were some exceptions here too. The arcane magic passed down in the family was one of them.

Since it is passed down in the family, there is no reason for magic to compete with each other and disappear.

However, it had the disadvantage that it was difficult for even experienced wizards to figure out what kind of magic it was until they saw it in person.

“It will take some time.”

“There are magic that take time. “I’ll wait, so try it.”

Lee Han nodded and took out his wand.

< Decomposition of Rocks of the Tutanta Family > is a family magic I learned from Salco last year, and even then it was difficult and gave me headaches.

Although Lee Han usually found it difficult to learn magic, this magic was a 4-circle magic and was particularly difficult.

In fact, at that time, Lee Han suspected that Salco had taught him to assassinate Lee Han.

‘When I think about it, I get angry. This bastard. ‘You taught me even though you couldn’t learn it yourself.’

It’s difficult for Salko himself and he hasn’t mastered it yet, but Lee Han taught him that he can do it.

Even now that I think about it, he was a ridiculous guy.

After that, Lee Han practiced this magic a few times, but the difficulty was too high so he put it off. There were dozens of magics to learn, but I couldn’t learn them all.

Grab a handful of pieces of the rock you want to break, prepare the spell, concentrate, and then…

“In the name of Tutanta, break the rock!”

Jump!

Sevius’ eyes widened as a corner of the empty classroom wall turned to powder as if it had been cut with a knife.

The power of magic was much stronger than expected.

And…

“You said you couldn’t cook it all?”

Sevius asked as if he didn’t understand.

Obviously, my junior said first that he couldn’t learn everything.

However, after watching the casting just now, it didn’t seem like I had mastered it all.

After holding the reagent, wasn’t it cast almost immediately after memorizing the spell?

It was safe to say that I had learned everything at this level.

“That’s right. “I thought I couldn’t master it all, but it’s been a while since I did it and it’s going well.”

Lee Han said with a shy expression.

It was because he himself did not expect that it would turn out this well.

Maybe not practicing for a while was an unexpected help.

Or, it could be that one of the high school students helped them knowingly or unknowingly…

‘Are they crazy?’

Of course, from the perspective of Sevius, who did not know Lee Han’s circumstances, his junior seemed a bit crazy.

‘Are you doing this to show off?’

From the looks of it, it was quite powerful for a 5-circle spell.

How can you pulverize a wall like this in one go without any additional preparation or time consuming?

If you can use that kind of magic, I understand wanting to brag about it…

…but why go to this length?

“I’m glad it worked out.”

“thank you.”

As a seasoned location mover, Sevius did not reveal his true feelings.

Lee Han, unaware of his senior’s thoughts, was innocently moved.

‘You’re good at trusting people’s words.’

“The last magic you need is combat magic. Professor Verdus is notorious for using artificial summons as sentries. You can avoid it as much as possible, but some degree of force is necessary. “Are you confident in battle?”

“hmm.”

Lee Han was slightly worried about where to start and how to say it.

After thinking about it, Lee Han made a decision.

I didn’t think it would be a good idea to bring up Professor Boladi. The senior could look at me with strange eyes.

It didn’t seem like a good idea to take out the enemies Lee Han had defeated. It seemed like too much of a show-off.

“I think it’s enough to protect one’s body.”

Sevius nodded in response to the well-chosen answer.

Since he was just a second-year student at Blue Dragon Tower, I didn’t have high expectations for his combat skills.

That answer would have been better. I won’t make unnecessary mistakes out of a desire to win.

“I guess that’s enough. let’s go.”

* * *

Sevius took Lee Han and headed out of the main building.

As soon as Lee Han came out of the main building, he cast an invisibility spell on himself. Sevius whispered at the useless waste of magical energy.

“Why are you using it already? “What about magical power?”

“There are circumstances. The magic power is fine, so please understand.”

“……”

Sevius looked unconvinced at his junior’s words, but did not say anything more.

Once you have decided to move positions together, you must respect the other person’s opinion, no matter how junior he or she is.

“If you say that, I will overlook it, but keep this in mind. If you fall, I can’t take you out. “I will get out on my own.”

“I know.”

Lee Han answered and looked around to see if there were any first-year students. Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any new students who had escaped during the night.

‘We need to prepare a preparedness plan quickly.’

“Do you know Professor Verdus’ view of sexual awakening?”

“yes.”

Sevius remembered that his junior was also listening to enchantment.

If so, of course Seongakgwan would know.

“There are several warehouses near Seonggak-gwan. “Most of them are inaccessible, but some of them cast spells and after a long time, their defenses become loose.”

“Why don’t professors get paid?”

“I built so many warehouses that I have a hard time remembering them. That’s why students are trying to steal more.”

“……”

The students were running out of reagents and materials, so they went out and received requests, but Professor Verdus had piled up the list of materials he had collected in the warehouse to the point that he had forgotten.

It was not for nothing that the students gritted their teeth and focused only on Professor Verdus’ warehouse.

“Lucky for us. “We’re going to approach one of those warehouses and go in.”

“What are the names of the books I need to take with me?”

“< Introduction to Imperial Investment Methods > < Wizards, do not repay invested gold coins > < Introduction to Imperial Artifact Trends > < Genius enchantment wizard who has received hundreds of investments > < Encyclopedia of Imperial Materials > < General Theory of Gemology >…” “

… Oh no. Isn’t that too much? “For how long…”

“They took it all at once.”

Sevius’ voice was filled with death.

Lee Han once again felt that Professor Verdus was an outstanding wizard.

Unless you are an excellent magician, how can you survive when you want to bury not only your students but also students who are not your students?

“Change your copper coins into silver coins. Silver coins, change to gold coins. “Golden coins, turn into jewels.”

As Sevius memorized the code, the thick oak tree swayed and turned into a door.

The two students quickly ran inside. Inside, all kinds of miscellaneous things were rolling around in a disorderly manner. Sevius concentrated to figure out the path.

Professor Verdus’ warehouses were all naturally occurring labyrinths, so it was easy to get lost if you lost your mind.

Kirik-

“Damn it, it’s a watchman! From the entrance…”

Sevius tried to signal Lee Han to retreat.

I never thought there would be a watchman wandering around the entrance.

bang!

“Gotcha!”

“……”
