Lee Han wiped away his tears with a handkerchief. My vision was strangely blurry.
âIs it raining?â
ââ¦youâd better have something to eat. I will buy it.â
âno. We should buy it.â
âThe juniors arenât coming in, but if you steal silver coins from your juniors and buy ice cream, they wonât come in anymore.â
The seniors sat Lee Han in front of the fountain and walked towards the ice cream stand.
-â¦Thatâs why I hate itâ¦
-â¦I canât yield either wayâ¦
â??â
Lee Han was taken aback when he saw the seniors arguing with the ice cream seller.
âwhat? Did you fail to negotiate the price?â
If that was the case, Lee Han thought he should go and help.
âWhy are you here?â
âAh⦠the merchants we know donât want to take silver from us.â
â!â
â Cannot be received. you wonât get it
-haha. Healing mages made a mistake. How much do you have to pay for the silver?
-youâre right. really. I made a crepe here, so please try it.
-what? Did the healing mages of Einrogard come?
As the argument got longer, the merchants around them started pouring in.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Merchants who recognized the students of Einrogard brought an armful of the snacks they were selling and placed them on top of each other.
The seniors were at a loss because they didnât know what to do.
-Itâs okayâ¦
-Oh my God, youâre so skinny that you can only see your bones!
-Thatâs prejudiceâ¦
-Really! You should eat more!
-Weâre healing mages, so why are you talking nonsenseâ¦
-Take this too!
The seniors, who were stripped of their souls by the crowds of merchants, returned with half-exhausted faces.
And heaps of snacks piled up on the table.
âEat a lot. Junior.â
ââ¦would you like to eat together?â
âhuh. But we work too much, so we have no appetite. You must eat a lot.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han thought he should eat even if his stomach exploded.
âIâm glad youâre popular.â
There were times when even black magicians would not accept silver coins when they went to the store, but that meant something a little different.
The healing mages here were really close to trying to treat them without taking silver.
The seniors held ice cream cones one by one, looked at the fountain, played a wizard card game, or rolled dice on a board and played horseback riding.
Everyoneâs faces are full of calm happiness and peaceâ¦
Kurrung!
âWhat are you talking about?â
âIt must have been an accident in the guild area! Thatâs it! Newly built this timeâ¦â
âSmoke is coming up, isnât it a fire?!â
ââ¦â¦â
The seniors stood up from their seats after looking down at the floor in silence.
âSeniors. No wayâ¦â
âIâm sorry. Wodanaz.â
âYou never know. The professor might need our help.â
âThanks to today, I had so much fun. Iâm glad a junior like you came in.â
ânoâ¦!â
Even before it dried, the seniors took donuts one by one and ran to the scene of the accident.
âItâs okay because the principal is hereâ¦!â
Lee Han shouted sadly, but the seniors only waved their hands and left.
Only the pile of snacks piled up, man Lee Han sighed.
âIf I stay like that for a few more years, even a nice person will get dirty.â
The plaza became quiet because even the merchants went to see the scene of the accident.
Then a voice came from behind.
âWhy are you eating like this by yourself?â
ââ¦!â
Lee Han turned his head at the familiar voice.
An old wizard with an impression of a benevolent old woman stood behind her.
âEumidihus-nimâ¦!â
âItâs been a while.â
Yumidhus, a famous water element wizard in the empire, sat down in front of Yihan and pointed at a waffle.
âOf course you can eat it.â
âThank you.â
Eumidhus didnât move, but the syrup on the table rose up and gently covered the waffles.
Yumidhus, who took a bite, looked at Lee Han and asked.
âWhy are you so nervous?â
âThatâs rightâ¦â
Eumidhus himself was a moderately crazy wizard, but the wizard who would come after the appearance of Eumidhuth had a different story.
ââ¦Professor Baegrek didnât visit Yumi Dihus to prepare things for the second semester lecture?â
âaha. It did.â
Eumidhus nodded.
âYou were worried that Voladi Bagrek couldnât find it.â
ââ¦Ah yes.â
Lee Han replied while managing his facial muscles.
Eumidhus continued as if he was fine.
âI found it, so there is nothing to worry about.â
âYeahâ¦â
Ugh.
âAnyway, I want to see elemental water magic. Can you show me?â
Lee Han grabbed the cane. Eumidhus spoke in a soft but stern voice.
âTry to float it.â
âSpring up!â
âForm Transformation.â
âBecome a wall!â
âThe time has come to do it all at once. Try it at once.â
Lee Hanâs spell casting speed was one of the fastest compared to other wizards.
It was natural as he was undergoing rigorous training as a battle mage.
As such, when using water elemental magic, it didnât matter too much if each process was divided and cast.
But Eumidhus was telling him to graduate from that as well.
Like an outstanding wizard, all at once.
Lee Han nodded.
âIt was time to do it though.â
Of course, if other friends had heard of it, they would have said, âWow, wake up, youâre still in the first year, itâs time to do somethingâ, but Lee Hanâs notion was slightly shattered because of the other professors.
âWater as a shield!â
The action of floating water and converting it into a shield was neatly compressed into one spell and one movement.
âExcellent.â
âI was lucky. Itâs the most familiar elementâ¦â
âThat familiarity comes from your hard work, so you shouldnât call it luck.â
Eumidihus waved his hand, and the fountainâs water gushed and turned into a wall.
âLetâs take a look at the rotation property. Can you break through this wall?â
âI will try.â
Among the advanced attributes of the water element, the rotational attribute was an attribute Lee Han had been practicing steadily since the first semester.
Of course, it wasnât that easy.
I used it on a limited basis a few times when dealing with Rakemaw, but I couldnât help it because it took time.
At this level, in order to properly handle the rotation attribute, I had to give up some power and end it with a suitable rotation, or I had to change my mind and change my time.
Eumidhus wondered to what extent Lee Han had overcome this problem.
Of course, if you were an ordinary student, you would have to put in effort over the 2nd and 3rd grade, but isnât the situation a bit different for the student in front of you now?
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
â?!â
Eumidhus was astonished.
Lee Han summoned dozens of water beads.
âWhat are you thinking?â
âTurn around!â
With the spell, several of the dozens of water beads lost their shape and disappeared.
Because the rotation attribute was clumsily given, the form could not be maintained and the magic was canceled.
Among the surviving water marbles, Lee Han focused his attention on the marbles that were properly rotated.
As the rotation got faster, several marbles were canceled again. Lee Han accelerated the remaining marbles without hesitation.
ââ¦â¦â
Eumidhus honestly admired.
It wasnât that he admired Lee Hanâs magical talent. That was after admiring it before.
What Eumidius admired was Lee Hanâs way of thinking.
No matter how much mana he had, it was rare for a wizard to be able to use it in that way.
To use dozens of other magics as sacrifices to complete one magic.
From the point of view of wizards, it was an absurd waste, but it was not very difficult for Lee Han.
In less than a few minutes, a furiously spinning water ball was completed.
puck!
The old wizard clapped his hands as the orb easily penetrated the barrier built by Eumidhus.
âGood job. I was honestly surprised.â
âIs that so?â
Lee Han was delighted.
To be honest, I was worried that Eumidhus would say, âIsnât that still enough?â.
But I was relieved to see that he was so satisfied.
âOf course you did well. Why are you surprised?â
âThere are still a lot of shortcomingsâ¦â
âBecause of Voladi Baegrek, you are not able to give a proper evaluation. It is true that you are doing well.â
âthank you.â
I felt good whenever I heard Professor Boladiâs curse words.
Lee Han lowered his head.
âOriginally, I was going to give advice if I was stuck, but that way⦠I donât think I can give you any advice.â
âyes? no. Please advise.â
Han Lee was unfair.
Wouldnât it be nice to have dozens of marbles floating like that?
Good advice from an archmage like Eumidhus would be far more effective than those ignorant methodsâ¦
âNo. doing well.â
Eumidhus thought Lee Hanâs method was very good.
Originally, there is no royal road to magic.
In particular, it was important to continue to experience and build up magic, where subtle senses are important, such as the rotation attribute.
Lee Hanâs method of floating dozens of marbles like crazy and rotating them all was surprisingly very effective.
If you continue as it is, you will soon be able to realize the rotational attribute.
âItâs late. sorry.â
When Professor Boladi walked by, Lee Hanâs heart sank.
The professorâs clothes were tattered, as if he had walked straight from a battlefield.
âWhat the hell did they catch?â
As much as he had to deal with what Professor Voladi had caught right away in the second semester, fear in Lee Hanâs soul was bound to rise.
âWhy are you late?â
âOther professors have asked to help fix the scene of the accident.â
âItâs strange that you donât say no.â
âGonadaltes-sama also asked for it, so I couldnât refuse.â
âGonadaltes?â
Eumidhus was startled.
Headmaster Skeleton wasnât the type to try to solve something like that himself.
I usually made my students or professors do itâ¦
âWas it that serious?â
âIt wasnât. I think it was to give the students a break.â
Lee Han, who was listening, couldnât stand it and asked.
âDid the students eventually participate?â
âno. Professor Garcia told me to rest.â
Han Lee was impressed.
Eumidhus nodded and said.
âRest is also important. To be honest, the young healing mages of Einrogard are overworked.â
âyes. Rest is important.â
â???â
Lee Han stared at Professor Boladi.
Did anyone who knew that ever act like that?
âNow that weâve come to Voladi Baegrek, letâs get down to business. I came to hear that you have an aptitude for the cold element.â
Lee Han looked at Professor Boladi again.
Professor Voladi nodded slightly as if he understood the meaning of that gaze.
Lee Han couldnât even imagine what the other person meant when he nodded.
âItâs not even aptitudeâ¦â
âIf you can summon cold air, itâs aptitude. Rare elements are hard to summon if you donât have the right aptitude. Anyway, the cold element is also related to the water element, and applying the two together is a learning experience in many ways. So, in the second semester⦠ah. Werenât you supposed to tell me your name?â
Professor Voladi nodded again.
Lee Han stared at the professorâs collar. I just wanted to catch it.
âIt came like this after catching it.â
âthank you.â
Lee Han was not very dissatisfied with Yumidhusâ proposal.
Unlike other professors, Eumidius taught relatively common sense.
It wouldnât be bad if he stayed at the mansion and learned about the magic of the elemental cold.
âBesides, itâll be an excuse when other professors come.â
âThen shall we depart?â
âah. Arenât you learning at the mansion?â
âItâs a bit ambiguous to learn at the mansion. Thereâs a tower where a wizard who owes me stays.â
âAre you a disciple?â
âHe wasnât a disciple, but he did learn a few things from me.â
âIsnât that a disciple?â
Lee Han, who thought to himself, hesitated.
Come to think of it, wasnât Professor Voladi also a disciple of Eumidius?
âIs he, by any chance, like Professor Bagreg?â
âno.â
âah. okay.â
Lee Han was relieved.
Until the next words of Eumidhus came out.
âHeâs more rude.â
ââ¦â¦â
