âIs that so?â
Professor Voladi didnât pay much attention to Lee Hanâs excuses and took a glass bottle of red potion out of his pocket and took a sip.
At first, I thought it was a magic recovery potionâ¦
âItâs blood, right?â
Lee Han realized that Professor Voladi had used blood magic to amplify his mana.
Well, considering the power of the blood sword just shown, it would have been difficult even for Professor Voladi to cast it so quickly without any cost.
âAre you okay with magic power?â
Lee Han-eun was worried about the professor and asked.
Occasionally, it was easy to forget when looking at the heavenly appearances of Einrogardâs professors, but the professors were also people made of flesh and blood.
â¦Of course, there was a lich, butâ¦
Magic wasnât a convenient study where you could only get rewards without a price, and of course, after such intense battles, the wizards were also burdened.
âOkay. I donât think you have anything to worry about.â
There was no need for a disciple to worry about a master, as if the master were worried about the disciple.
Professor Voladi took one look at Lee Han.
Despite the fierce battle, there seemed to be no abnormality in magic power.
It was new, but it was a truly overwhelming amount of horsepower.
âDo you remember the magic you just used?â
âyes? You mean ?â
Professor Voladi shook his head slowly.
Of course, making a success was great, but that wasnât what the professor was trying to say.
âThe magic I used after that.â
âAh, I put rotation properties on the water beadsâ¦â
âYes. I think you can give it a name.â
ââ¦!â
Lee Han was surprised.
Giving a name to magic was by no means light.
This was possible when the magic had a value that was clearly distinct from other magic.
After Guinando saw the magic missile magic written in the book and cast it, he said, âSince my magic is much slower and weaker than the magic written in the book, Iâll name it âGuinandoâs Magic Missileâ! Itâs like magic that anyone can use easily!â
It was quite surprising that Professor Voladi said such a thing, as it was not forced by a single wizard.
âYou mean your name? It doesnât seem like that much magic.â
It wasnât that I wasnât happy.
The joy of succeeding in casting magic with a single knife, which had been forcibly cast by dividing the casting process, was a sense of accomplishment that only a wizard could feel.
It was similar to the feeling of putting dozens of scattered puzzles together into one.
However, not everyone who succeeds in difficult magic can be namedâ¦
âYou donât have to create something out of nothing to be able to name it. Improvements can also be named.â
âThatâs trueâ¦â
Lee Han hesitated, but Professor Voladi explained a bit more.
âThe magic I just used looks similar to Yumidhus-samaâs Suoctan, but itâs definitely different.â
It was a water elemental magic that was evaluated as lacking in destructive power, but it was Eumidhus who reversed that evaluation.
A wizard who maximized destructive power by combining various deepening properties with the water element!
One of them, , was a magic that fused the element of water with rotational properties to the extreme.
The penetrating power and destructive power concentrated at this one point was famous for the anecdote that Eumidius, the founder of magic, used it himself to instantly kill a demon duke.
As Professor Voladi, who studied under Eumidhus, it was natural for him to teach this magic to a brilliant disciple who longed for in-depth wisdom of elemental magic.
And as much as this disciple greedily requested, he eventually reinterpreted and improved Suoctan in his own way and completed it.
Unnecessary processes are cut out from the original magic, and the missing parts are sensibly supplemented using magic.
It was less powerful than Eumidhusâ direct casting, but it was enough. As long as it hits the sea serpent and ties it up, itâs great in terms of power.
Most of all, it was impressive that the casting speed was drastically reduced.
What was needed in a magic battle was the minimum amount of accurate power to defeat the enemy, not a show of strength.
âIt would be much more suitable for a person-to-person battle.â
âIsnât it a bit of a waste of mana?â
Although the compliment was bigger than expected, Lee Han took a realistic approach.
The parts cut off while hastily omitting unnecessary processes were a wasteful use of mana.
âBecause all magic has its pros and cons.â
ââ¦thank you. I will consider it an honor.â
Lee Han honestly expressed his gratitude and decided to enjoy it.
âItâs not bad.â
Of course, this magic did not seem to be a widespread magic throughout the empire.
It would be nice to be able to play and eat for the rest of my life with just one magic, but Lee Han doesnât have such vain expectations.
âObjectively, the flaws are a bit big, butâ¦â
First of all, the water element type combat magic itself is a bit minor, and if you add the rotation attribute from there, itâs even more minor, but if you add the disadvantage of over-
consuming magic ⦠It was too limited.
But even taking that into consideration, it was true that he was happy to have his magic named after him.
Wouldnât it look much more plausible if you add a line saying, âI have completed the 4th circle magic â when submitting a proposal or receiving investment later?
Professor Voladi nodded as if he was satisfied with his studentâs delight.
Then he opened his mouth again.
âWhen you return to Einrogard, write a book about the water elemental magic you realized this time.â
ââ¦yes?â
Lee Han, whom he liked, hesitated.
âWhat did you just say?â
It was not uncommon for wizards to organize their understanding of magic into books, such as or .
Einrogard students also used to make books by organizing their realizations for training and learning.
â¦usually seniors!
While Lee Han was stunned, saying, âIsnât this person crazy?â, the professor continued.
âah. for a moment. I was mistaken.â
âI knew you would too.â
Lee Han secretly hoped that Professor Voladi would ask him to try again around the 4th grade.
âis not it? Since he is a person with no conscience, he might have made it in 3rd grade. Then by avoiding classes in the third yearâ¦â
âWrite two books. One about enlightened magic, the other about the direction of magic improvement.â
One was to organize magic, and the other was to think about how to further develop that magic.
Professor Voladi added one more to satisfy the studentâs endless intellectual quest like magic.
I didnât know what crazy things I would do otherwise, like running into the Sea Serpent today.
ââ¦â¦â
While Lee Han was so absurd that he couldnât say anything, Professor Thunderwalker came running.
His face was full of fatigue because he had managed to calm down the people of the Meikin family and the city, who were about to have a heart attack because of the student jumping into the battlefield.
âHey you crazy bastard! Why the hell did you rush in front of Mr. Serpent!â
Prof. Lee Han, who exclaimed with an exasperation, flinched when he saw Lee Hanâs granite-like expression filled with anger.
ââ¦Did I talk too much?â
* * *
After preparing the magic to show to Einrogardâs students, Ianop headed to the port with the mercenaries.
The mercenaries asked cautiously.
âWizard. Shouldnât we hurry?â
âThe hunt for the Sea Serpent doesnât end so soon.â
The battle against a large monster with tenacious vitality was usually an endurance fight.
Even if you go later than now, it will be enough.
âIf only I could show you this magicâ¦â
What Ianop had prepared was a terribly beautiful weakening magic.
It was easy to be misunderstood as black magic, but it was absolutely not, and once cast, it was an endowment magic that nestled in the opponentâs body and reversed the regenerative power.
It would be even more effective against opponents like the Sea Serpent.
âMister Magician. The port is on fireâ¦â
â?â
âThe harbor is bright!â
â!â
Ianob was surprised to see the splendid appearance of the harbor.
Like in broad daylight, spheres of light were densely embedded and driving out the darkness.
âNo matter how much Einrogardâs wizard is, is it so wasteful? Nonsense!â
Ianob wondered if he had created a new magic in Einrogard.
No matter how little light there is, there is no need to waste mana by summoning spheres of light one by one before the serpent hunt.
âYeah. great.â
âAs expected of the wizardsâ¦â
the mercenaries said flatteringly, but Ianobâs head was so complicated that he couldnât even hear it.
No matter how much I looked at it, I couldnât even guess what the structure of that magic was.
Ianob felt a deep sense of humiliation, as he had felt in the distant past.
Even a simple magic like that couldnât read the structure.
âI donât knowâ¦! How can you do that all at onceâ¦â
ââ¦Mage. Wizard!â
When Ianop was distracted, the mercenaries urgently called the wizard.
âWhy?â
âThe huntâ¦â
âIt starts soon?â
âIs it over?â
ââ¦what?â
Ianob looked away from the sphere of light and turned his head.
Surprisingly, the body of the Sea Serpent was lying on the docks of the harbor below.
Even at a glance, I could tell that intense magic had come and gone.
Remains of ice and the uniquely dismembered corpse of the Sea Serpent.
By what kind of magicâ¦
âItâs over!?â
âYes yesâ¦â
The mercenaries, frightened by the wizardâs unusual appearance, hurriedly brought one of the sailors around them.
âDid you say you saw it?â
âHow many times do you say? I saw it from the bottom!â
âi get it. I understand, so speak well. Because he is such a great person.â
âWhat⦠A wizard from Einrogard?â
The sailor who was called by the mercenaries looked at Ianob in the carriage and asked curiously.
The only great person in this city dressed like that was the wizard of Einrogard.
âYour identity is not something you ask. Do you want to give the silver coin back?â
The mercenary said with a mixture of irritation, but the sailor who rolled as he rolled on the rough sea was not easy. He retorted and said.
âThat damn thing⦠I called someone in a hurry, so whatâ¦â
Ianob bounced another silver coin instead of answering.
Then, the irritable sailorâs attitude suddenly changed to a friendly one.
âWhat are you so curious about?â
âWho cast that light magic? Do you remember which professor it was? Did you use special reagents or scrolls when casting?â
âStudents did it. And uh⦠reagents or scrolls? If it was something like that scroll, you didnât use it.â
ââ¦!!!!!â
Ianob was so shocked that he involuntarily moaned.
There was only one student.
âAre you a student of the Wardanaz family?â
âOh right! That was the name.â
âDo not lie!â
âIâm not lying! Call anyone else and you will know.â
The sailorâs demeanor was so imposing that Ianob instinctively sensed that there was no lie in that statement.
âThat all at once? How at once?â
In fact, it wasnât cast at once, but Ianob inadvertently thought so.
âWhat did you catch? How did you catch it?â
Ianob, in shock, asked the mercenaries if they were curious.
âOne shot and caught enchanted arrows.â
âDid the magicians of Einrogard give it to you?â
âno. That, too, was done by a student wizard from the Wardanaz family.â
ââ¦â¦â
Even the mercenaries, unfamiliar with magic, seemed to be surprised, and their words became less.
Roughly, I got a feeling why Ianop was shocked.
âThe other one?â
âEinrogard mages caught it themselves.â
âI guess the student I mentioned earlier didnât wear it this time.â
âno. Did you participate and fight together?â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦Arenât they twins?â
âTriplets⦠No, maybe quintupletsâ¦â
Only the whispers of the mercenaries quietly spread through the harbor streets in the middle of the night.
