Han was so shocked that Professor Koo was taken aback.
To the point where I wondered if I had misunderstood the score for a moment.
âA point of 1 is really nothing, so why?â
ââ¦Yes.â
Although he gave an affirmative answer, Lee Hanâs expression was never that of a person who agreed.
His expression was like that of a wizard whose empire was destroyed because of his own mistake.
âthank you. professor.â
âWardanaz. Are you okay?â
âitâs okay.â
* * *
Hey, one point was deducted!
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was dumbfounded at the sight of the skeleton headmaster floating and flying.
Itâs been less than 30 minutes since I took the testâ¦
âI might lose one point.â
Is it really so? If it hadnât been for a mistake you just made, you could have gotten perfect marks on every test?
The skeleton headmaster tried to shake Lee Hanâs heart and arouse his heart.
Lee Han, who knew the ulterior motive better than anyone else, kept his cool.
It was painful to lose one point for making a mistake, but that didnât make a big difference.
âLetâs not be shaken.â
Doesnât that mistake flicker?
âyes. I think there is a misunderstanding, but I never had the slightest arrogance to get perfect marks on all tests.â
It wasnât a lie.
Would Lee Han have set the goal of getting perfect marks in all lectures without going crazy?
My goal was to just do my best.
It was just my personality that made me feel sick when I lost 1 pointâ¦
Donât you hate the professors who get angry or dare to test an existence like me?
âWhat kind of crazy freshman would think like that?â
I did.
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han decided to ignore it without answering any further.
Headmaster Skeleton felt regretful, perhaps realizing that Lee Han would not fall for provocation.
To pretend to be unnecessarily humbleâ¦
âIâve never been arrogant. principal.â
Few things are as arrogant as trying to hear all the schools of magic.
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han made a face with a blow. Realizing that, the Headmaster Skeleton was delighted.
Did you get some enlightenment now?
âno?â
If I denied it like that, it would only be hard on myself. Are you preparing well for the Professor Verdus exam?
After taking the conversion magic test and even the endowment magic test, the first semester was practically over.
Since the transformation magic test doesnât seem that difficult, enchantment magic is practically the biggest task left.
âI am doing my best.â
I guess itâs not going well.
Headmaster Skeleton keenly guessed his inner thoughts. Realizing that denial is meaningless, Lee Han asked in reverse.
âHow did you know?â
Isnât it Professor Verdusâs test to ask you to upgrade what youâve made? Since I completed that in the first place, of course it wonât work out.
Headmaster Skeleton replied as if he were asking an obvious question. Lee Han had no choice but to understand.
âActually, itâs not like that.â
Creating a floating steel shield is also amazing, but upgrading it to the next level in less than a month.
It was only natural that things didnât go well.
âThen would the principal speak for you?â
no? I should blame you in the past for doing too well at first. It is not for nothing that there is a saying that the skill of a battle mage should be hidden. It will be a lesson.
âThatâs a word in preparation for a fightâ¦â
But Iâll give you one piece of advice.
When the skeleton headmaster cut his words and entered, Lee Han hesitated and waited.
What advice will the Headmaster Skeleton give?
âI donât think thatâs very useful advice.â
You just made a floating steel shield, right?
âyes.â
A steel shield that floats around the caster and automatically blocks incoming attacks.
Although they borrowed the power of various magic circles, the making itself was close to a miracle.
What is your goal?
âIâm thinking of adding a reflectionâ¦â
I guess so. Get rid of all the other magic circles and put only reflections in.
â!â
Lee Han was surprised by the headmasterâs words.
So now�
âThen it will be just a normal reflective shield?â
okay. That alone is enough. Didnât the performance increase anyway? Other performance was slightly reduced.
Headmaster Skeleton was serious.
No matter how much a student wanted to learn all the schools of magic, there was a limit.
Sometimes you have to make a choice and give up.
And in the first place, Professor Verdus was the one who gave the test on his own, so there was no need to take the test seriously.
Students just had to do what they wanted and insist on it.
In the first place, it would be dangerous even if only digging into the reflective properties. Just completing it is an achievement that I can proudly say, so I canât deduct points for diminished functionality.
Originally, it was âimpossibleâ, but the skeleton headmaster said âcloselyâ considering Lee Hanâs past.
âBut I think Professor Verdus will be disappointedâ¦â
Whatâs wrong with disappointing Professor Verdus? why is that wrong?
â!â
what?
âI know?â
Lee Han felt himself being persuaded by the headmasterâs logic.
Professor Verdusâ¦
canât we be a little disappointed?
Even if he was disappointed as much as he set it as his goal in the first place, he was close to self-employed.
âIâm glad the principal wanted to disappoint Professor Verdus rather than bother me.â
You are really gifted with fantasy magic.
âno.â
Well, one point was deducted.
ââ¦â¦â
* * *
Professor Verdus put down his equipment and tools and was waiting for the students.
Anyone who knew the professor knew how amazing he was now.
Who is Professor Verdus?
Despite being a professor who has to teach, he was a born craftsman who threw a few books to the students in the classroom and told them to study on their own, then immersed themselves in the production of artifacts of interest.
To think that Professor Verdus was doing nothing and waiting.
The merchants who came to the school after being called by Professor Verdus felt awkward and asked.
âAre you okay? mage? Why donât you do the production you used to doâ¦â
âItâs a test for students.â
âYes⦠it is.â
The merchants cursed Professor Verdus inwardly.
Even when merchants talk to me, I usually only answer with âuhâ or âuh-uhâ and only talk when itâs convenient for me.
Either way, Professor Verdus hummed and waited.
It was because of what the skeleton headmaster said.
â Hey. The first year students this year were very good. well made
-Itâs not? Would you have made only trash?
-â¦of course, if you look at it coldly, there may be such things, but some of the works are quite good.
-It canât be?
-If it wasnât for the test, I would have put you in the punishment room. Too bad.
-why?
-Think about that later when you enter the punishment room⦠And there are really good works too. Just like Wardanaz made it.
-oh. did you finish it?
Professor Verdus was delighted.
I advised to add a reflective property to the floating steel shield, but it seems that Wodanaz completed it well.
-â¦Didnât you think that was a bit difficult?
Headmaster Skeleton put up with his pathetic feelings as much as possible and asked.
Of course, Professor Verdus confidently replied as if he was asking what he was talking about.
-no? why?
-Itâs my fault for asking. Anyway, since the reflective properties have been completed, make a calm evaluation.
â Hey! Looking forward to it!
Thanks to this, Professor Verdus was excited.
Of course, in Professor Verdusâs view, Lee Hanâs bestowal magic still lacked a lot (Professor Verdusâ genius brain didnât have the fact that Lee Han was a first year student).
However, even if there are dozens of disadvantages, it is interesting enough if there is one special advantage that covers them.
Lee Hanâs endowment magic, which omits various processes of endowment magic with its unique enormous amount of magical power, was very interesting even though it lacked many points.
Tak-
When the door opened and the students came in, Professor Verdus exclaimed in delight.
âSubmit the arrivals first!â
âHere you are. professor.â
When Professor Verdus seemed strangely happy, the student turned in with a little hope.
If you look so happy, are there any assignments?
âItâs still trash. Whatâs better?â
ââ¦Hasnât the speed increased a bit?â
ânext!â
The students came forward one by one and were swearing at Professor Verdus before being kicked out.
Seeing that, Lee Han felt at ease.
âEven if it fails, we will all perish together.â
It is more reassuring to perish with friends than perishing alone.
Professor Verdus grumbled and chased the students away, but when it was Lee Hanâs turn, he was delighted.
âIâm here? I was looking forward to it! ruler. Show me!â
Lee Han carefully took out his steel shield and put it down.
It was a shield with all the previous magic circle spells erased and a new reflective attribute engraved on it.
kang!
When Lee Han threw the stone, it flew back in the direction it came with a cheerful sound.
It was an elastic force that seemed to defy the laws of physics.
â!!â
âIsnât that a reflection?!â
The students were astonished.
I knew that he had excellent magic skills as he was the top of the class, but the other day he completed a floating shield and a reflective shield.
âThisâ¦â
ââ¦may work!â
The students who had just been swearing and kicked out looked at Professor Verdus with expectant eyes without realizing it.
No matter how dogâ¦no, no matter how strict the professor is, there will be no choice but to say âwell doneâ at this point.
really!
âWhereâs the automatic defense?!â
Professor Verdus exclaimed in surprise.
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The students glared at the professor with contempt.
If a freshman has perfected the reflective properties in such a short amount of time, he should be commended. How can he do that?
âItâs not a real person.â
âMountain monsters must be more merciful than that person.â
âI left out the auto-defense.â
âwhy?!â
âI want to complete the reflection.â
âCan we do it together!?â
âIt was unreasonable in terms of time.â
âwhy?!â
Instead of answering, Lee Han smiled softly. It was because I didnât want to argue with a crazy person.
âCan I give you more time?â
âNext week is vacation.â
âThere is a room in Seonggak Hall, do you want to stay there and complete it?â
The students who couldnât stand the words stood up.
âWe have an appointment with Wodanaz, Professor!â
âIf you keep doing this, I will write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor, really!â
âWhy why?! What have I done!?â
Lee Han was moved by the friendship shown by his friends after a long time.
It was not a futile effort to feed them like that.
* * *
After the transformation magic test (it was a test that required only one of the clothes to be made of steel) and the endowment magic test, Friday night arrived, and the students of the Blue Dragon Tower began to scream in a frenzy.
âfinished! finished! finished!â
âGrades too!â
Friends put a gag on the mouth of the prince who poured cold water on the atmosphere.
pop! Puff puff puff! Puff puff puff!
Looking out the window, I saw beautiful fireworks with all kinds of patterns exploding in the dark night sky.
âLooks like seniors are shooting!â
âLet us answer too!â
The first-year students rushed to the window and shot magic at whatever they came across.
Compared to the magic sent by my seniors, it was insignificant, but thanks to the dark night sky, I was able to see it clearly.
âThe flames are moving!â
The fireworks that embroidered the night sky wriggled and moved and turned into letters.
The first-year students threw their eyes at the messages sent by their seniors with a thrilling heart.
What words of praise will the seniors who have not even seen their faces give to the juniors?
âIs it noisyâBe quietâSomethingâPlayâ
â1st gradeâI was excitedâI havenât learned much yetâSecond semester âReally
ââ¦â¦â
âItâs garbageâ¦â
