âCanât help it.â
Not even in a dream did he notice Lee Hanâs inner thoughts, the skeleton headmaster thought to himself.
Ogonin was not a wizard who would readily teach him that he was being threatened or humiliated, but seeing that he did⦠It
was clear that Yihanâs polite behavior had moved his heart quite a bit.
It was a pity that I couldnât embarrass him more, but I couldnât help it if I conceded that much.
Itâs nothing else, but isnât it taught directly by a great wizard like Ogonin?
It was a rare opportunity that was difficult for even the wizards of the Tower to receive.
Tsk. Ogonin. Pay off your debt with this. to teach well.
âI will⦠do my best.â
Skeleton Headmaster floated outside.
It was rude to stand next to another wizard passing on his teachings.
âAre you okay?â
âhmm?â
At Lee Hanâs question, Ogonin smiled slightly.
Apparently, he wondered if he could be taught one-on-one like this by an archmage like Ogonin, without paying anything in return.
It was a natural reaction as he was still young.
âItâs okay. Not because of coercion or threats, but because I want to do it. You donât have to care.â
âItâs not like that, but Iâm afraid the principal will bully the people outsideâ¦â
ââ¦Itâll be fine. maybe.â
Ogonin was slightly taken aback by the very objective and realistic apprenticeship of Gonadaltes.
â¦are you a disciple?
* * *
Hearing about the illusion magic Yihan knew, Ogonin nodded and said,
âFahiteâs fantasy magic series. Farhait That friend is a pretty decent illusion wizard.â
âYouâre being a little rude.â
Lee Han, who did not know the relationship between Ogonin and Fahait, thought to himself.
âBecause it is a fantasy magic that uses fire elements as a base, it is easy for beginners to learn and apply. If I had to point out a downside, would it be that the effect is reduced in cold places?â
âUh⦠I cast it in a cold place and it worked well.â
âhmm? aha. It must be because it has so much magical power.â
Ogonin nodded as if he understood.
However, there was already a slight suspicion mixed in Lee Hanâs gaze.
âFahiteâs illusion magic is good magic, but I will teach you another magic. Itâs a little rough, but itâs quite usable.â
In fact, Ogoninâs words were overly modest.
The magic Ogonin was trying to teach me was arcane magic Ogonin created himself.
Arcane magic that is respected and called âOgoninâs Illusion Magicâ by other illusion wizards!
Many illusion wizards admired the magicâs neat structure, sharp thinking, and effective effects, but Ogonin did not publicize the arcane magic.
The other fantasy magic developed by myself was in contrast to what was published as a book.
One reason.
As difficult and demanding as it was, I was not sure if I would be able to properly pass it on if I did not directly pass it on.
âBut this boy deserves to learn.â
It wasnât simply that he promised to do his best for Headmaster Skeleton.
Ogonin was not without pride to the extent that he recklessly handed over the arcane magic he had created to pay off his debt.
Ogonin already knew that Lee Han was an unusually polite and considerate boy.
It was like that at the magic school at the festival, and that was exactly what happened at the duel today.
In addition, if the magic talent is enough to be directly taught by the headmaster of the skeletonâ¦
If itâs such a boy, itâs okay to teach him.
âWhat magic is it?â
âhmm. I didnât give it a specific name⦠Other mages call it Ogoninâs Arcane Illusion Magic, so I guess you could call it that too.â
âIâve never heard of it.â
Lee Han was puzzled inwardly.
Of course, the empireâs magic system was vast, and of course there were unusual magics that Lee Han had never heard of.
However, it was true that magic he had heard of how great it was was more trustworthy than magic he had never heard of.
â¦thatâs okay, right?
âafter. You seem to be thinking too negatively.â
Lee Han thought calmly.
After all, it seemed that Ogonin wasnât a completely incompetent mage.
He runs a tower like this, is respected by other wizards, and has written a lot of books⦠â¦
of course, he showed a lot of ugliness in front of Lee Han, but when a person leaves active duty and retires, his senses get rusty.
Although he is now retired and his abilities have declined over time, it was clear that he was a great wizard in his prime.
Ogonin, who had never retired, continued without knowing Lee Hanâs intentions.
âPaheit excels not only in fantasy magic but also in the application of fire elements, so he has developed several magics that combine the two realms. As I just said, these are magics with clear advantages.â
Imperial magic, like any other discipline, developed over time.
It was only natural that the wizards of the later generations watched, learned, and polished the magic of the predecessors.
And the tendency of this development was mainly focused on convenience and efficiency.
If there is a magic that takes 100 effort to learn, it will take 10 effort.
If there is a magic that requires 100 horsepower to cast, it will take 10 horsepower.
When magic developed in this way came out, the magic replaced the existing inefficient magic and brought about a new trend.
Farhaitâs fantasy magic that Lee Han had learned was that type of magic.
It was easy to learn and apply because it was magic made by applying the flame elementâ¦
âBut if there are advantages, there are also disadvantages. Faheitâs illusion magic is not suitable for mastering the illusion magic itself. Illusion magic that uses other elements is also inappropriate in that respect.â
If you create illusions with fire or cold soil, the difficulty of learning magic may go down, but it is far from the core of fantasy magic.
Ogonin thought that even if the difficulty was difficult, in order to properly master illusion magic, he had to go the difficult way from the beginning.
Lee Han, who was diligently writing it down, asked.
âThen how should I summon the illusion?â
âOnly with pure magic. It is difficult to imagine and difficult to control, but that is the most direct way.â
Ogonin pointed to a chair next to the horse. The second Ogonin was sitting on the chair so casually that it was hard to notice.
âTouch it.â
Lee Han touched the second Ogonin.
Surprisingly, Ogonin did not distort or disappear. It had a solid sense of mass and endured.
It was a completely different fantasy from Faheitâs.
âIt is an illusion that materializes the concept of myself.â
âYou are amazing.â
Lee Han honestly admired it.
After all, even if you retire, where do you have your skills?
âYou too will learn soon.â
Ogonin said with a smile in his eyes as he gazed at the future archmage.
âBy the way, how many circle magic is this?â
ââ¦Circle 5â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Hanâs bewildered look made Ogonin realize the mistake he had made belatedly.
He had forgotten that the boy in front of him was a freshman because he was hanging out with the wizards of the tower.
âI didnât mean to learn this now. Make sure you know this as a magic that you will learn someday.â
âah. yes. okay.â
Ogonin hastily changed his words. However, Lee Hanâs eyes were slightly cold.
âThe magic I teach isnât the only difficult thing about creating your own alter ego. A lot of things are relatively easy.â
âokay. for a moment. But why didnât you tell me that firstâ¦â
In response to Lee Hanâs question, Ogonin pretended not to hear and turned away.
Creating a phantasmagoric clone of oneâs own entity was a really advanced magic, and there were many much easier magics in fantasy magic.
1 circle magic. .
It was a semi-essential magic for a fantasy wizard who could read the emotions of surrounding creatures.
Depending on the other personâs feelings, the fantasy magic they use also changes.
2nd circle magic. .
It was a mental interference-type fantasy magic that directly affects the emotions of the opponent.
Afterwards, in order to learn more advanced mental interference magic, he had to learn the tricks with these magics.
3 circle magic. .
It was a magic that spreads a mist of illusion around the wizard to distract enemies from aiming properly when they attack.
If the magic was properly cast, it could protect allies in a fairly wide range from ranged attacks.
ââ¦something is strange.â
Lee Han, who was practicing while explaining one by one, felt a sense of incongruity.
Magic was tooâ¦
difficult.
Even within the same circle, the level of difficulty varies widely depending on the type of magic, but all the magics taught by Ogonin were all too difficult.
To the point where Lee Han felt uncomfortable.
âUgh. Is it too difficult?â
Ogonin carefully asked if he had noticed Yihanâs thoughts.
âyes. Itâs not easy because Iâm lacking.â
âItâs not because youâre lacking. This magic is a very difficult magic.â
âno. It must be because I am lacking.â
âno. Itâs a really difficult magic.â
Ogonin kindly explained to Lee Han when he seemed to misunderstand.
As I pointed out the disadvantages of Faheitâs illusion magic earlier, Ogonin did not prefer to add other elements to illusion magic.
Refusing any compromise or improvement, only pure fantasy magic!
The difficulty level will go up, but if you look at it from a long distance, you will see that it is the shortest path in the end.
Of course, Ogoninâs arcane magic was single-minded fantasy magic without any compromise or improvement.
If magic like was another fantasy magic, he would have used all the factors such as the movement of the opponentâs pupils, muscles, or change in body temperature.
However, there is only one .
To the point of persistence, he judged only on the other personâs soul.
The difficulty must be difficult.
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han, who heard the explanation, made a confused expression.
After all, like a retired wizard who has passed his time, teaching is a bitâ¦
* * *
Did you learn well?
âI feel like Iâve stepped out of my way now because teaching is difficult.â
I guess so. Ogonin is a fundamentalist. However, even in the Empire, there are not many wizards who adhere to pure classical fantasy magic like Ogonin. If you learn well, it will help you in many ways.
âI will try.â
He answered yes, but Lee Han doubted whether he would dig deep into the magic he had learned today.
There are still a lot of magic to learn, but if youâre going to do such a difficult magicâ¦
Youâre lucky though.
â?â
Ogonin must have taken a liking to you. I saw that you said you would set aside time every week to teach me. come every weekend I will connect Ogonin.
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Hanâs expression hardened.
Even if itâs annoying to learn magic on the weekend, endure it. Because this is a really good opportunity. Itâs not heartbreaking.
âI didnât say anything.â
What are you doing after swearing with your eyes?
When Lee Han tried to get into the carriage, fantasy wizards came running out of the tower.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Headmaster Skeleton frowned at the sight of him trying to say goodbye.
It seemed that friendship would make him sick.
âI will never forget todayâs duel. I wish you all the best.â
âI hope that one day your name will be heard in the dueling world. really. What is your family name and name?â
âThis is Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.â
âokay. Lee Han of the Wodanaz family. As expected of an outstanding knight, the family name⦠hm?â
The illusion wizards hesitated.
Yes?
Meanwhile, Headmaster Skeleton closed the carriage door.
âWait a minute. dismissal.â
Donât be bothered and go away. before whipping.
âI just said the Wardanaj family⦠Ahhh! You wield a whip for just such a thing!â
Archmages donât lie. Get out of here!
