Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Episode 728: Of

course, Professor Bendozol’s shout did not work.

To begin with, the relationship between the Gyeokgu Club members and Professor Bendozol was not very close. If I had to express it, it was closer to a hostile symbiotic relationship.

A fierce club where you must rescue, tame, and take care of various rare animals in the empire.

As such, the help of Professor Bendozol, Einroguard’s top expert, was definitely needed…

…Professor Bendozol helped with the animals, but at the same time, he was also a person who kept trying to steal the animals from the Gyeokgu Club.

Even if a person like that tried to criticize a promising junior member, it would only sound like nonsense.

Hormasi suddenly became curious and asked.

“By the way, Professor. Why don’t you attack directly?”

Of course, even though Einroguard lived without imperial law, it was rare for a professor to attack a student at will.

But wasn’t Professor Bendozol a particularly crazy person among those professors?

“It’s because of two things. “If I attack it myself first, I could incur the unicorn’s hatred.”

‘I think you already bought it?’

Hormasi thought so, but he didn’t want to provoke the crazy professor, so he kept it to himself.

“Yes… I see. “What’s the other one?”

“I promised the principal that I wouldn’t attack him with the unicorn gun. Damn it!”

“?”

Hormasi, who had been listening without much thought, perked up his long ears and wondered.

‘What nonsense?’

Principal Skeleton was never the type of person to tell someone not to attack someone, as he might not know if he instigated them to attack someone.

Are there any special protection policies for students attending various schools that Hormasi is not aware of?

“How did you make such a promise…”

– I didn’t do anything particularly special. We just met by chance during winter break.

The dark elf senior, who was about to ask the professor again, stopped.

My junior started talking about how he became friends with the unicorn.

It was a story several times more interesting than Professor Bendozol’s story.

“So that’s it.”

“for a moment. “I’ll listen to it again later.”

“……”

Hormasi interrupted Professor Bendozol and listened.

“You met during winter vacation? “What happened?”

“During winter vacation, I went looking for a unicorn to help Professor Lightning Walk with his work.”

“Well. why?”

The club seniors were buzzing.

There were many bad choices you could make during vacation, but the worst of them all was helping a professor.

“…Couldn’t you help?”

“I don’t think there is one. Anyway, keep going. Did you go looking for it and come across a unicorn? “How did we become friends?”

Lee Han briefly explained what happened in the mountains during winter vacation.

I went in with the hunters to protect the unicorn, but met Professor Bendozol…

“Oh my!”

“Why!”

The seniors sighed.

Even if you don’t have luck, how can you be like that?

Helping a professor’s work during vacation was unfortunate enough, but while helping, I met another professor.

“…In that situation, the principal arrived and it ended well.”

“Indeed… huh?”

The members of the Gyeokgu club were buzzing.

Unicorns in the mountains and the evil monsters Docheol and Bendozol that target them. And the wizard and hunters arrived to save the unicorn.

It was a very exciting story, but it ended with the sudden appearance of the principal.

“Did Professor Lightning Step call you?”

“no way. “Professor Lightning Walk has common sense, but there is no way he would call the principal.”

“…I called you.”

“You called me?”

“yes.”

As the atmosphere among the seniors was unusual, Lee Han hurriedly made an excuse.

“Professor Lightning Step and Professor Bendozol argued, so there was nothing we could do. Docheol is about to attack…”

“Hmm! What you say makes sense. Surely that situation could not have been helped.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

The seniors smiled and nodded.

And then they all ran away at once.

“……”

* * *

“It can’t be helped.”

Hormasi, the only senior who did not run away, spoke up.

Lee Han answered in a slightly blunt manner.

“What can’t be helped?”

“Regardless of the reason, the fact that you called the principal sounds dangerous.”

The dark elf senior spoke in a rude manner, but there was nothing wrong with the content.

It didn’t matter how dangerous the situation was.

What was important was that the junior was close enough to call the skeleton principal.

“…I received a summoning artifact by pure coincidence.”

“Right. “I trust you!”

As he said that, Hormasi took a step back.

If you were a junior who received a summon artifact from the skeleton principal, it wouldn’t be strange if you suddenly turned into a monster from another dimension.

“Anyway, don’t worry about the reactions of other members. “I’m afraid of you now, but…”

“The misunderstanding will be resolved with time, right?”

“uh. I was going to say that if you ignore it and say it’s unfair, what can you do? Is there any misunderstanding that can be resolved? “It’s all true.”

“……”

Whether Lee Han glared at him or not, Hormasi said what he wanted to say.

“You are younger than him. Let’s talk about hard fighting! Actually, this Hormasi has been waiting for a junior like you. “I don’t care at all if you are the principal’s best student.”

“Who said that again? “What kind of guy are you?”

“also?”

‘Oops.’

Looking at his senior’s expression, Lee Han realized that he had overreacted.

Hormasi asked with a wary look in his eyes.

“Do you often hear that you are the principal’s best student?”

“no? “This is my first time hearing it.”

“…okay. “Let’s get back to what we were talking about.”

As he said, Hormasi took two steps back.

“Currently, the Einrogard Gyeokgu club lacks a good striker. “Senior Kimbeldan graduated, and senior Bordeaux went crazy because he failed to graduate.”

“yes?”

Lee Han wanted to ask more about Senior Bodrgo, but Hormasi didn’t seem to be very interested in the people who left the club.

“But you have the talent of an outstanding striker. “You might be able to fill that void.”

“Thank you for the compliment, but I have never played hardball before.”

This was true.

When he’s bored, unlike his friends who enjoy horseback riding fighting, bare body fighting, table fighting, assignment fighting (crunching up assignments to be submitted and using them as a ball), Wardanaz fighting (a ball where white tiger tower students who play the role of balls dodge the angry Wodanaz’s staff), etc., Lee Han The hardball itself didn’t do much.

“doesn’t care. “Talent is separate from experience.”

Lee Han, who was listening to the story, suddenly became curious.

What does this senior see and value about himself?

“Am I that talented at fighting? why?”

“You’re friends with unicorns. “That’s enough.”

“…no. “Isn’t that just a talent for handling animals?”

“Originally, 90% of Gyeok-gu’s talent is in handling animals. Horseback riding is 50%.”

‘Maybe it’s because you’re a senior at White Tiger Top, but you’re weak in numbers.’

Hormasi spoke in a very satisfied voice as he watched the unicorn playing next to Ihan.

“I can’t believe I like you that much. “You and the unicorn would be a good match.”

“By the way, senior. “I have no intention of fighting on a unicorn.”

“!?!?”

-!?!?

Not only Hormasi but also the unicorn looked at Lee Han with shocked eyes.

“Why?!”

– !

“Well… there’s already a guy who promised to go out for a ride. “If I go out on a unicorn, I’ll sulk.”

“You have to persuade them properly! “What on earth are you talking about?!”

The senior dark elf must have been quite shocked and shouted in a shaky voice.

Not riding a unicorn when there was one was an insult to the unicorn and the empire.

“Of course, not going out on a friendly horse can feel like a betrayal. But it would be crueler to force yourself to be considerate when there is someone more suitable.”

“That’s not what you mean.”

“You’re not saying that?”

When a second-year student said that his friend’s vehicle was a horse, Hormasi tilted his head.

“If not, then what? Mountain goat? wild boar? ostrich?”

“Seniors. “Promise me you won’t think anything strange if I tell you.”

“Are you looking down on your senior? “I’m not surprised by what you’ve tamed.”

Since the skeleton principal had already been called, the junior was unable to surprise Hormasi.

Even if you tamed a gryphon…

‘Hmm. That might be a bit surprising.’

“All right. “It’s actually a griffon.”

“…What on earth are you doing??”

* * *

After comforting the hurt junior (while the junior was comforting the hurt unicorn), Hormasi spoke in a serious voice.

“Let’s go see your griffon.”

The unicorn cried out in anger and tried to attack Hormasi.

Then Hormasi quickly widened the distance and checked the unicorn’s approach.

“Don’t come near me, you horse with horns. “As long as my junior has a griffon, I have no business with you!”

– !

“Aren’t you being too talkative?”

“It’s not something I should ride, so why?”

Hormasi said in a pessimistic manner.

What a rider cares about is the animal he rides, not an animal he is not familiar with.

“no. Before going to see the griffon, it would be better to see my mount first. Follow me.”

Hormasi was very excited to hear that a junior griffon rider had arrived.

‘If we charge together shoulder to shoulder…!’

In order to do that, we had to know something about each other’s vehicles. Hormasi was planning to explain his vehicle to his junior.

“Hormasi! “Tell your junior to get the subsidy!”

“ah. “It was like that.”

Lee Han asked in confusion as Senior Perse shouted from afar.

“What is the subsidy?”

“The Gyeokgu Club periodically gives gold coins from the club’s safe to members who raise animals. To help and encourage its growth.”

Some of the prize money from the Gyeokgu Club was given to active members, and the rest was stored in the safe and used as support for members.

The more rare and powerful animals you raise, the more support you will receive as they help the club.

“One griffon and one unicorn. and.”

Hormasi whistled and calculated. At this level, we might have set a new club record.

“Is there more? “It’s a little wordy, but it comes out, so let me know if you have anything.”

“I am raising a baby basilisk.”

“Basilisk… …Basilisk?”

A tail came out from inside Lee Han’s sleeve and started waving.

Hormasi looked at that and slowly shook his head. Then he called Perse.

“Senior Perse! Come and help me apply for a grant!”

“You can handle that yourself! “Are you calling me because it bothers you?”

“Even if I submit it, everyone will come to check it anyway, so just come here and check it before leaving!”

Hormasi wisely predicted the future.

Even if I submit it like this, the club members will get angry and say, ‘Hormas, don’t play around with your junior application form!’

In that case, it would have been better to just show it now.

“What nonsense…”

Perse grumbled and approached as if he didn’t understand.

I was quite busy just explaining to the new 2nd grade students where they could get Einrogard’s rare animals and how to tame them.

Professor Bendozol can’t help you, but he’s just slandering you by saying things like, ‘You don’t deserve to be tamed!’… ”

Just come and have a look.”

“If you called it useless, then you are the one responsible for educating juniors… Don’t play around with junior application forms!”

Hormasi looked at Lee Han and narrowed his eyes with an expression that said, ‘What did I say?’
