Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Episode 775

‘Oops.’

It was only when Lee Han saw the tail sticking out between his sleeves and trembling with sadness that he realized that there was a basilisk inside.

I forgot it because it was always wrapped naturally like a bracelet.

‘I made a mistake. ‘I should have been careful with my words.’

Originally, wizards had to be careful what they said even in front of monsters.

In an old fairy tale from the Empire, there is a story about a wizard who was using yellow and black demons, but he muttered, ‘Yellow demons work better!’ and was attacked by an angry black demon. As shown in the story, powerful monsters are also highly intelligent.

“…I thought that in order to understand the language of a highly intelligent monster like that basilisk, I had to first learn the relatively easier language of other monsters.”

No need to worry about that.

Oripulas, an imperial legal officer and demon who had been on the job for 132 years because he had been tricked into signing the contract, suddenly appeared and gave advice.

The Basilisk language is definitely one of the most difficult languages, but since it is an isolated language, it doesn’t get easier by learning other monster languages first. It’s a good idea to just practice Basilisk if you need to.

“……”

Lee Han looked around.

Of course, the friends were trying to learn a relatively easy and useful monster language among the monster languages on the list.

“Moradi. After all, it would be easier to learn the wolf language, right?”

“I guess so. “The language of those monsters is quite similar.”

“Priest Tigiling. “Would you rather go with the Nighthawk series or the Cuckoo series?”

“The bird-type monsters found near Einrogard seem to be better because the cuckoo side has darker blood, but…” Once you learn the wolf side of the language, it is useful

when dealing with wolf-type monsters, and there are also types of birds. Although there were a variety of species, it was very useful to learn just a few commonly seen species.

“I want to do something a little difficult.”

“!”

Lee Han was pleased with Shiles’ words.

As expected, he possessed outstanding intelligence and challenging spirit as expected from the Black Turtle Top Vice President.

“Shiles. “How about a basilisk?”

“That’s a bit…”

Shiles refused with a straight face.

He said he wanted to do something difficult, but he didn’t want to learn by throwing himself into the fire pit of hell like Wardanaz.

“hmm. I guess I’ll have to give Wyvern a try. “It will help me later when I graduate.”

“Good idea. “Richmond.”

“Isn’t the Basilisk better? “It’s rare.”

Lee Han groaned, but Shiles pretended not to hear and ignored him.

As he came from an Imperial Carriage Guild family, he needed to be good at dealing with monsters commonly used in the transportation industry, such as wyverns.

In addition, Wyvern language is a helpful language when learning the language of other snake-type monsters or similar dragon-type monsters.

There was no need to learn Basilisk for this.

When Shiles coldly refused, Lee Han became a little glum and read the explanation of Basilisk again.

‘hmm. ‘Aren’t there any advantages to being a basilisk?’

“No matter how isolated it is, I don’t think there’s a single snake-type monster that uses something similar to Basilisk language…”

“There isn’t one. Wardanaz.”

As a snake beast, Siana explained in a confident voice.

If you trace the blood of the basilisk, it is a mixture of many different animals, so it is very different from the language used by snake-type monsters.

“…Thank you. “Priest Siana.”

“Hehe. What.”

Sianna turned her head, proud of the fact that she had helped her friend.

Of course, Siana herself planned to learn Cuckoo language, not Basilisk language.

Lee Han sighed lightly and read the list of recommended languages he had received once again.

Basilisk Language,

Gryphon Language,

Frost Giant

Language, Demonic Language (Pride Zone) – Oripulas Especially recommended!

…

The list of recommended languages received by Yoner next to him was as follows.

Owl, nighthawk, waterfowl,

fire spirit language (realm of sphere spirits),

cat,

Pegasus, high difficulty level. caution!

…

‘…Isn’t this harassment?’

Lee Han felt the difference again and was thrilled.

When I looked at the professor and the judicial officer, they did not notice anything strange and looked puzzled as to why they were doing that.

“Why is this student like that?”

I think I know why. It is clear that he is torn between the Basilisk language and the demon language. I told you so. I’m sure you’ll like it.

“Ugh. “I have no choice but to admit it.”

Professor Rosine was angry, but had no choice but to admit that the devil was right.

I never thought I would worry because I really want to learn the demon language!

* * *

“Cruk ruk ruk. “Krrrrrrrrrrrr’

“Keeek. Kieeeeek. Kieeeeek.”

“Kkeot-keot?”

The classroom became noisy like an animal’s den for a while.

Professor Rosine and Oripulas watched the scene with happy expressions.

“Ugh. “I just want to learn with a single spell…”

“Me too.”

Exhausted students’ nonsense was heard everywhere.

Since this was also unexpected, the two still watched with happy expressions.

Young wizards always said things like that when they were in trouble.

-Ugh. Why on earth should I learn geometry? Why… why do I have to learn these rules? Can’t I just use magic?

-Ugh. Why on earth should I learn this ancient script? Can’t I just use magic?

For reference, if an upper-grade student at Einrogard was caught by the skeleton principal while saying something like that, he would be taken to the punishment cell for ‘low-level nonsense.’ It’s such a stupid question.

Magic was not a convenient study where one could learn what one did not know and learn what one could not do with just one spell.

“Shh shhh shhh shhh?”

-……

The baby basilisk was waiting for Lee Han to learn with its tail gesturing full of anticipation.

‘shit. ‘It’s so damn difficult.’

In terms of intelligence, I didn’t think it was that inferior to the Einroguard, but the Basilisk was trickier than I thought.

As Lee Han groaned and suffered, Oripulas approached.

Don’t worry too much.

“Master Oripulas.”

If you can’t figure it out, practicing demon language can be a good idea.

“Master Oripulas…”

Just kidding. In fact, speaking the monster’s language is close to primitive and simple magic. It’s very subtle, but it exudes magical power. Have you learned any magic?

“…yes?”

I think Lord Gonadaltes said he would learn it soon… didn’t he?

“haha. “The principal likes to talk nonsense.”

Lee Han suppressed his anger and laughed it off. The imperial magistrate thought that was the case and passed on.

It’s much easier to understand if you think about the structure of magic. It is said with the will to resonate directly with the other person’s soul. Of course, it’s so simple and low-level that it can’t be called magic, so you’ll have to pronounce the language much more accurately.

Oripulas thought that there was no need for a wizard like Lee Han to suffer for no reason.

First of all, I heard about magic from the skeleton headmaster, so I know a bit about it, and there’s a basilisk ahead.

Then, it would be much faster to learn by talking directly with the basilisk.

Monster language is basically a very academic field, but fundamentally it is in the realm of magic.

‘That is certainly true.’

Lee Han thought to himself.

The talk about magic was close to bullshit, but since I was learning music magic, it made some sense.

Where does the music magic begin?

It started with putting magic into the verses.

Of course, monster language was a simple and primitive magic that could not be compared to music magic, let alone words, but the basic principles were clearly in common.

‘Then it’s to my advantage.’

Rather than learning it on your own, you learn it through direct conversation.

At first, you will be very clumsy and rely heavily on magic power, but the more you repeat it, the faster you will become skilled and the magic power will no longer be needed.

“Are you awake? “Can you help me?”

-!

The Basilisk was excited at Lee Han’s call and tried to stick its head out.

Then Professor Rosine and Oripulas spoke coldly.

“Wait a minute!”

You go to the classroom next to there and practice. Don’t forget to lock the door.

No matter how young it is, if it emits toxic breath or has poor vision while talking, it will be a hassle to deal with it.

“……”

-……

The baby Death King and the wizard became slightly sullen and moved to the next classroom.

* * *

“Hello? Hello – How are you? “Am I saying hello?”

We hissed at each other for about 30 minutes.

“hi?”

-!

For the first time, Basilisk seemed to understand what Lee Han said.

At that moment, Lee Han felt like he could communicate for the first time.

‘This is what it was like!’

-Master, master?

“yes. nice to meet you.”

-Yingying… What did I do wrong that makes you hate me?

“……”

Lee Han, who had been speaking in simple words, was taken aback by the sudden words.

what?

“I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding. I don’t hate it.”

-You said earlier that you would learn other monster languages…

Lee Han felt his skills improving quickly.

I was able to understand the other person’s whining and crying in a childish voice.

“…It’s difficult to talk about Basilisk. I didn’t understand.”

-I will learn the words of other monsters! I don’t like basilisks!

The baby basilisk protested by banging its tail on the desk.

I wanted to convey my message to the owner somehow.

“I really like basilisks. there is a misunderstanding. Basilisk is difficult to say.”

As the owner repeated this, the baby basilisk’s anger eased slightly.

Pretending not to win, Basilisk confidently stated his demands.

-…Then punish the griffon.

“griffon?”

In response to Lee Han’s question, the baby basilisk nodded and told him what had happened.

This happened to me a while ago when I was traveling around with the phone league.

The baby basilisk, which was bored in its sleeve, plucked one of Vonrig’s feathers and stuck it in its own tail to decorate it, but Vonrig bit it with its beak and shook it wildly from side to side.

At that time, I thought the baby basilisk was really going to be eaten.

‘That happened.’

For some reason, I was puzzled because Vonrig seemed particularly angry during the camping trip, but I never thought something like this would happen.

“You’re not worried. “I scold the griffon.”

The baby basilisk was very happy at Lee Han’s words.

Of course, Lee Han had no intention of saying this and doing nothing.

I don’t even know how to speak Gryphon to begin with…

-Then, please give me your name.

“name?”

-What a cool name. I’m the only one with no name.

“ah.”

Lee Han realized that the other person was saying Phone League’s name.

“That’s not the name I made up. Is that a good… name?”

-Master, are you speaking well?

The baby basilisk tilted its head.

At some point, a natural hissing sound was coming out rather than a hard, forceful speech.

“Do you want a snack?”

-Wow yes!

Lee Han took some time to ponder while the baby basilisk ate its snack.

‘Was Basilisk’s favorite name also listed in the book?’

If I did something wrong here, I might get upset. It was a more important issue than I thought.

‘< Professor Boladi’s assassination attempt > Hmm. It’s too long and not very good. Something like < The King of Snakes > can make you look personally arrogant when applying for subsidies later. Should we just build it like a phone league?’

After finishing the Wagu Wagu snack, the baby basilisk spoke in an innocent voice.

-I really don’t like names like Chris Silva.

‘As expected, it is a powerful monster. It has high intelligence.’

Lee Han was thrilled by the other person’s intelligence.
