Chapter 281

“What are you talking about?”

“Look at your face.”

“Can’t you see because of the smoke?”

“…Are you in first grade?”

At that, Koholti pulled out a monocle with a jewel lens from his bosom. Smoke was also an artifact that could be seen through.

“ah!”

Koholti noticed the identity of her junior and exclaimed.

The other day that…

“Poor freshman wrongly caught by Professor Untitled!”

“You must be a grateful junior who fixed the accident you committed. You trash bastard.”

Diret looked at Koholti with contempt.

If you get help from a freshman, you’ll have to keep your head down for a few years, but it’s said that it’s at best!

Koholti must have realized that too, and cleared her throat with an embarrassed face.

“Thank you, of course. I am still grateful It’s just that hanging out with that untitled professor left a deep impression on me…”

‘Certainly that was the case.’

Diret couldn’t deny that.

I’ll never forget Professor Baegrek shoving the back of a freshman in his first year to get him to fight the Frost Giant King.

It was to the point where I seriously contemplated whether I should send an anonymous letter to His Majesty the Emperor for several days.

First of all, the person in question seemed to be getting along just fine…

“Anyway, he’s unique, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”

“I thought he was good at subduing demons, but he’s also very good at other black magic? Professor Mortum will be pleased.”

Koholti admired the talent of the new junior.

I’m a freshman, but I’m already so good at black magic.

Professor Mortum, who was sad because there were no students to learn from, was sure to be very happy.

Originally, one genius is more precious than a hundred geniuses.

“Well…”

“??”

When Diret slurred, Koholti was puzzled.

“I might not continue to listen to black magic…”

“What nonsense is that?”

Koholti did not understand.

Of course, it was true that black magic was not as popular as other magic.

However, with that level of talent, it was difficult for the wizard himself not to learn, no matter how unpopular.

Just by reading magic books and practicing spells, achievements are constantly increasing, but which wizard can escape such temptation?

“That’s true, too…”

Diret looked at his junior with a mixed gaze.

If only black magic had talent, it was a problem because other magic was too good.

‘Isn’t that why he won’t come back in the second semester?’

Finally, after completing the black magic test, Guinando spoke to Ymirg and Rapadel.

“how was it? how was it?? Did you see everyone? Did you see it well?”

“……” As

Rapad El’s expression frowned, Guinando’s eyes twinkled.

Kainando shouted in a voice full of joy.

“I didn’t see you!”

‘Is that something to say while being so happy?’

“yes? Didn’t you see that?!”

“shut up! You son of a prince!”

Rapadell burst into anger.

That prince didn’t know about other classes, but he showed exceptional abilities in black magic.

Compared to Raphael, who didn’t like black magic that much, it was only natural that he could see it well.

Of course, apart from that, it was disgusting to run so excitedly to say that he had seen him well.

The guy who kept his head down after taking the exam in another lecture, as if the world was ruined!

“I didn’t see it that well. Because the test is difficult.”

“haha. I understand. The black magic test was a bit difficult.”

Gainando responded to Ymirg’s words with a generous smile.

“I succeeded in cursing and poisoning once, but the bone magic took three times…” “

…Huh? Did you succeed at once?”

Gainando hesitated.

Ymirg saw it better than he thought.

“Ughhh.”

“I… I also succeeded in bone magic at once.”

Raphael, who was listening, asked without thinking.

“Curse and poison?”

“You shamelessly ask how you saw it without answering! Are you still a knight!”

“What kind of crazy guy is this…”

“How did you see War Danaz?”

To Ymirg’s question, Gainando answered with a straight face.

“It would be rude to ask such a thing.”

“……”

“……”

The two students couldn’t help but admire the despicable behavior of never asking a friend who had seen better than them about their grades.

That’s the royal family!

“There is magic in the classroom right now that temporarily nullifies the contract.”

Professor Millay said in his usual stern voice.

The students ahead of the exam looked at Professor Millay with nervous faces.

“Everyone must remember that we signed a contract in another realm the other day.”

The majority of students are from the spirit realm.

Students like Lee Han are in the undead realm.

Everyone tried to sign a contract as an assignment before the final exams.

“Call out the contracted beings one by one.”

“…?”

One of the students listening did not understand and asked again.

“professor? Isn’t the contract invalid in the classroom right now?”

The beings of the other world were basically unpredictable, volatile and dangerous beings.

These beings could not be summoned at random.

Accidents happen even if they are bound by strict contracts, but how wild would they be if there were no contracts?

Of course, the beings contracted by the first year students were at most enough to light a bonfire and refill an empty leather bucket… but the first year students were weak enough to match

it, so they could never be caught off guard.

“Well pointed out. The purpose of this test is to learn how to protect oneself even when there is no contract to protect a mage’s body.”

“……”

The words were plausible, but the students were already anxious.

“Professor Millay, isn’t it too much? How is that different from just throwing monsters and fighting?”

“I did something similar once in a swordsmanship lecture. I didn’t know summoning magic could be like this.”

While his friends were whispering, Lee Han took out a bone fragment from his pocket.

And then I told my friends

“What are you doing? Aren’t you all ready?”

“…I will, but I can still complain a little!”

“Okay, everyone move. If you prepare less, only you will lose.”

Lee Han’s appearance without blood or tears made his friends grumble.

How can you not complain while taking such a ridiculous test?

Indeed, it was clear that Wodanaz was a man without compromise when it came to magic.

‘It must be a not too difficult test.’

Contrary to what his friends thought, Lee Han was slightly happy.

The difficulty of the test was easier than I thought.

* * *

“Wind spirit. I believe you.”

Asan tried to speak in a soft voice as much as possible.

However, there was tension in his voice that could not be hidden.

“So, listen to me… oops!”

puck!

The shapeless swaying spirit of the wind hit Asan’s abdomen accurately.

‘That’s right.’

From Lee Han’s point of view, the wind spirit didn’t do that out of hostility or malice.

Having fought against numerous monsters with hostility and malice, the attack should have been much sharper.

It was more like a joke.

Since the wind spirit is also a low-level spirit that is not very strong, it seemed to be just playing around with the magician’s command rather than being angry

… stop! stop!”

Asan, who missed the staff, rolled to the side and dodged the attack.

The wind spirit pursued relentlessly and tried to headbutt.

Professor Millay, worse than that, swung his cane to separate the two.

“No matter how friendly you are, it is a foolish choice to keep trying to persuade with words in a situation where there is no contract. Keep in mind that disobedience requires a firm warning.”

“Sorry. professor.”

Asan’s failure became a lesson for other students.

The next student immediately took up his staff and prepared to attack if the spirit disobeyed the order.

“Magic…”

Chop!

Before the spell was cast, the earth spirit scattered sand.

The spirit was the first to notice the magician’s hostility.

“Poo-Pup Poop! Fufufufu!”

The earth spirit continued to throw sand.

It was impossible for a freshman to cast magic calmly in such a situation unless he had been trained to cast magic while maintaining his composure while receiving various attacks.

The student who failed the spell because of the sand escaped in tears.

“I believed, I believed…! I believe!”

“You were about to attack right away.”

At first, they were students who confidently jumped into it, but there were more people who failed than expected.

Professor Millais made the failed students wait in the back.

I thought that not many students would succeed on the first attempt anyway.

‘It’s not good to blindly hand out a carrot, but it’s the same to swing a whip.’

How wizards persuade spirits when there is no contract binding them together.

The key, after all, was understanding.

How much do I understand the spirits?

The magician, who had somehow made a contract with the spirits, but usually only gave orders without much interaction, was exposed at times like this.

I don’t know what habits this spirit has, and I don’t know what personality it is, so I don’t know how to approach it.

Whether it was a carrot or a stick, understanding the other person came first.

Students who failed in the first attempt will naturally become interested in their summons as they repeat it over and over again.

“…Don’t attack me. Understand? Really don’t attack. I did really well. listen to me just once huh? If you have any complaints, I’ll listen to them next time…”

The water spirit Neilia summoned was a spirit Lee Han was familiar with.

Wasn’t it the spirit that escaped Lee Han on the island the other day and made a contract with Nilia?

In front of Nilia, she said, ‘Hey, I don’t like spirits too much’, but I couldn’t help feeling bitter.

“Isn’t that a very old-fashioned way?”

Gainando, who was watching from the side, was puzzled.

Anyway, that seems too ugly…

“!!!”

“All right!”

The students let out an exclamation.

Even without a contract, the water spirit didn’t reject Nilia’s words and faithfully followed them.

‘Certainly close.’

Unlike the other students, Lee Han was able to feel the emotions of the magic displayed by Nilia’s spirit to some extent.

An innate ability to respond to magical powers.

In addition, he trained to recognize emotions with fantasy magic, so it was even more strange if he didn’t feel it.

The water spirit Nylia summoned treated Nylia much more friendly than the other spirits.

“indeed. Right.”

“what?”

“Nylia would have summoned the water spirit and had a conversation with her when she was bored, so we have no choice but to be closer.”

“…why are you doing such a lonely thing?”

Gainando reacted as if it was hard to believe, but in fact, Lee Han was right.

Professor Millay praised Nilia’s method.

‘I’ve built intimacy from the usual.’

His attitude was a little lacking in confidence, but the spirit he had become friendly with didn’t refuse his orders.

It was a great way.

“Great Spirit! I… kek!”

“If you could help me just once… Kut!”

Students who thought it was okay to politely prostrate themselves, unaware of the closeness Nilia had built up with the spirits, rushed out and were kicked out.

Professor Millais shook his head in pity.

‘That’s…’

“Leehan. It’s your turn.”

“ah. okay.”

Lee Han cast various strengthening magics and began to float water beads in the air.

The other spirits who had been summoned earlier trembled and hid behind the master at the sight of him working calmly.

Professor Millay felt a different kind of stuffiness than before.

Of course, that was one of the methods, but this test wasn’t what I wanted!
