Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Episode 738

“One of the few advantages of Einroguard is that you can see these precious monsters. ha ha ha!”

Professor Bendozol continued speaking excitedly, not even noticing the changes in the students’ expressions.

Even if you were angry just now, you can feel happy whenever you talk about monsters.

The students looked at each other, not knowing who should speak first.

“ruler. “Then shall we all go see Nightmare?”

“professor.”

Lee Han raised his hand and called. Professor Bendozol then looked blatantly displeased.

“why? Surely you don’t want to meet me? “How many chances do an insignificant person like you have to meet a monster as precious as Nightmare?”

“Here…”

Lee Han took out a sparrow monster from his coat pocket.

It was a nightmare that left me trembling because I was still addicted.

“……”

Professor Bendozol was so shocked that he couldn’t even answer. I just blinked and looked at Nightmare, who was trembling.

Nilia whispered with a hint of anticipation at the sight.

-Aren’t you going to collapse from a heart attack?

However, Professor Bendozol barely overcame the shock.

“Words… words… nonsense! Someone’s writing a nightmare! you! “You’re a nightmare!”

“professor! Wardanaaz didn’t do it!”

The friends who saw the professor making a devil-like expression quickly came up with a lie.

I thought that if I left it alone, it might attack Lee Han.

Of course, it’s not that there have never been professors who attacked Lee Han, but there’s no need to increase the number.

“Think about it! How can Wardanaz defeat Nightmarejak!”

“We’re only in second grade!”

Even as the students shouted, they seemed to think their lies were quite persuasive and their confidence grew.

It certainly sounded strange that a second year student would defeat Nightmare like this and bring him back.

But unfortunately, Professor Bendozol had been seeing Lee Han since winter vacation.

“shut up! “Where in the empire is there a second grader like that?”

“……”

Lee Han was dumbfounded.

Of course, it was he who defeated Nightmare, but…

‘Isn’t that too much?’

“I should have looked into it when I first arrived instead of being attacked by an evil spirit! “You’re going to kill Nightmare!”

“He’s not dead yet…”

“Ugh. sorry! It’s my fault! It’s my fault!”

Professor Bendozol ignored the students’ words and cried out to Nightmare, shedding beads of tears.

Then he snatched the nightmare from Lee Han’s hand and began to check its condition.

“for a moment. “This poison…?”

Lee Han eventually had no choice but to tell the truth.

“Actually, the basilisk I raised asked.”

“okay? Then there’s nothing we can do.”

Professor Bendozol nodded as if there was nothing he could do about the providence of nature.

The students looked at the professor as if they were crazy.

“Don’t worry too much.”

“yes. thank you.”

“I didn’t say that to you, I said that to the Basilisk!”

When the professor shouted, the basilisk hissed in displeasure.

It was judged to be an enemy threatening its owner.

Professor Bendozol shouted urgently, like a wizard who witnessed the sky falling.

“I am not your master’s enemy!”

Either way, the basilisk continued hissing.

Professor Bendozol glared at Lee Han with tears in his eyes.

I was mad as hell.

“My… my favorite disciple!”

“??”

“Who would be there! “You!”

The professor whispered angrily. The basilisk must have heard that sound again and reacted again.

Professor Bendozol quickly gritted his teeth at the oblivious Lee Han. Now was the time to be patient.

“You are my favorite disciple. haha.”

-……

“Now. Look at this. haha. close.”

Although he did not want to come into contact with the dirty human race, Professor Bendozol held back and hugged his student in a friendly manner.

Even after seeing that, the Basilisk was suspicious.

“professor. How long must this go on?”

“Until the Basilisk clears his doubts!”

The professor growled.

Either way, Lee Han calmly asked back. In times like this, Einrogard students would not have been able to survive if they had not taken care of it.

“Then how about we all gather together and start the next lecture?”

“…You you bastard…!”

Professor Bendozol was astonished by the evil student’s suggestion.

He was an extremely evil person, as befits a human race!

When the basilisk tried to hiss again, the professor hastily agreed.

“i get it! “Everyone gather together!”

“How about we tell in advance what animals we are going to see?”

“Fuck… yes!”

“haha. “We are close.”

Lee Han and Professor Bendozol smiled awkwardly, putting their arms around each other’s shoulders. Only then did the Basilisk relax its guard and become quiet.

* * *

Professor Bendozol, who managed to detoxify the baby basilisk’s poison with a few elixirs and magic he had, sighed.

Fortunately, it was the poison of a basilisk that had not fully grown, and Nightmare itself was a very strong monster.

If it weren’t for the nightmares that were born from a place where all kinds of nightmares and spiritual bodies were condensed, it would have been difficult to endure this deadly poison.

‘This cute little thing hasn’t even grown up yet, so why is its poison so strong?’

Professor Bendozol looked at Lee Han’s sleeve with sad eyes. Lee Han hid his sleeves as if he was displeased.

“Now that Nightmare has recovered a little, I will begin the lecture.”

“…omg! that’s right. “It was lecture time, right?”

“I was wondering for a moment why we were here like this.”

Only then did the students realize that it was lecture time and took out their books.

Professor Bendozol carefully placed the nightmare piece on the floor and spoke.

“One of the most beautiful things about this nightmare monster is its jewel-like eyes. “When encountering these eyes, creatures are struck by strong illusion magic…”

Be careful of the eyes when hunting Nightmare. Has innate illusion magic. danger!

“When you flap your wings, you call out the evil spirits within you! “This color that changes brilliantly when light hits it is truly beautiful!”

Beware of the evil spirits pouring in when Nightmare flaps its wings. Be prepared to deal with evil spirits.

“If this thing stays in the forest for a long time, the number of spirit monsters increases more and more, and this is also part of the process in which it prepares to lay new eggs! “If we leave the forest like this, this cute little thing will devour all the enlarged spiritual bodies and turn them into eggs!”

If the nightmare is established in the forest, we must subdue it as quickly as possible…

The students listened seriously to Professor Bendozol’s lecture.

In order to survive in Einroguard, you had to be knowledgeable about all kinds of dangerous monsters.

A student who did not at least figure out how to escape, how to avoid, and where to come from would not be able to last long.

Originally, there were few people who were as deeply interested in and understood their prey as hunters, but Professor Bendozol was an exception.

“He must be sleepy. “Let’s take a short break.”

Professor Bendozol lightly covered the nightmare piece with a temporary magic blanket made of woven leaves.

It was a blanket with a magic that restored stamina.

As the professor approached, Lee Han quickly turned the pages of his notes.

If you look at the content of ‘How to Hunt Nightmare’, Professor Bendozol could have suffered a heart attack.

“How much are you taking care of the unicorn?”

“yes?”

“A unicorn! Unicorn!”

“I think I visit about once every two or three days…”

“Two… two days! “Three… three days!!”

When Professor Bendozol looked like he was having another heart attack, Priest Nigisor next to him looked puzzled.

Are you afraid of dates?

“I have to visit you five times a day, you cursed… beloved disciple!!”

“It’s impossible. “Even griffons don’t come here that often.”

No matter how furious the professor was, Lee Han did not waver.

If Lee Han had really done everything the professor told him to do in the first place, Lee Han would have had to learn magic in his first year.

“Stop making excuses! I’m sure you’ll have some time left. “Get out your lecture schedule!”

Lee Han was skeptical and took out the schedule.

It seemed like even Professor Bendozol couldn’t squeeze more out of this, but he’s still a professor, right?

I didn’t know if I could see something that Lee Han couldn’t.

“……”

However, contrary to expectations, Professor Bendozol could not respond immediately and groaned and held his head.

Like a very complex puzzle, this lecture schedule did not allow for even the slightest gap.

“The empty time here… damn it. There’s a club. Then the empty time here… It’s Gryphon… The empty time here… Damn it!! “Why are you listening to so many lectures?!”

The students behind him unconsciously nodded. Fortunately, Lee Han didn’t notice that.

“What is the management of the garden here? “Is it a lecture?”

“It’s not a lecture, it’s taking care of Professor Thunderwalker’s cabin.”

“Then I will do this. “Go see the unicorn at this hour!”

“…Oh, that’s okay, but is it okay?”

This would be very embarrassing for Professor Thunderstruck.

The same professor visits the cabin to do chores.

“what! “What’s the problem again?”

“no. “If the professor wants it, I will give it to you.”

“What is this < Visiting the Wicked Beaver > here?”

“ah. I guess I wrote it wrong. “It involves visiting Professor Verdus’ workshop to prepare materials and do basic work.”

“Is it a lecture?”

“Is this going to be a lecture?”

“Then I’ll do this too, so go meet the unicorn at this time!”

“!”

For the first time, Lee Han felt a slight crush on Professor Bendozol.

You said you would go see Professor Verdus instead!

“Professor, if you wish…”

Professor Bendozol somehow managed to scrape together the remaining gaps in the lecture schedule.

If there were any chores that could be replaced, I eliminated them as much as possible.

‘no. ‘Have I done this much work?’

Even Lee Han himself was surprised every time one came out.

I never thought there would be this many.

Professor Bendozol, who barely managed to find time for the unicorn, threw down his schedule and got up.

“ruler. “The following is how to become familiar with Nightmare.”

“How do we become friends?”

“I don’t want to become friends, but…”

Professor Bendozol ignored the students’ complaints with a face like granite.

“Even if it is a dangerous and ferocious monster, it is foolish to blindly choose a fighting method! A wizard must be able to make flexible decisions in any situation. “Learning how to become friends with a monster means understanding that monster in the deepest way possible.”

“indeed. “It might be more helpful when hunting.”

In response to the White Tiger Tower student’s answer, Professor Bendozol glared with burning eyes. The student was scared and covered his face with a notebook.

“The best way to become friends with Nightmare is through transformation magic. Fortunately, there are some animals that this guy feels friendly with. Until next time, learn how to transform into one of these animals! Even if I can’t do it completely, I have to transform at least an arm!”

“professor. “I don’t major in transformation magic?”

Professor Bendozol responded to the student’s question with a sour expression.

“What are you saying? Get it yourself. Whether you’re looking for a potion or a spellbook. “That’s a wizard’s ability too!”

“……”

The students, who had finally figured out the professor, discussed it among themselves instead of asking meaningless questions.

“Small insect-type monsters, bird-type monsters… I heard snake-type monsters are surprisingly good too? “They say he’s friendly.”

“I think snakes are better than insects.”

“Ugh. “I hate them both.”

‘Basilisk won’t work, right?’

Lee Han thought to himself, thinking together about what kind of animal he would transform into.

The 2nd circle magic I learned last year, < Lesser Transformation >, was a magic that changed parts of the body.

Since I had mastered this magic, it didn’t seem that difficult to prepare according to Professor Bendozol’s requests.

“Arms, become the paws of the beast.”

As it was a spell that had not been used for a while, Lee Han cast it lightly to confirm.

pop!

Professor Bendozol, seeing one of his students’ arms transformed into the head of a basilisk, wondered if he should just let that guy pass.

If it was for Nightmare’s safety, I really didn’t know that I had to do that.
