Episode 792
âNext week is club weekâ¦â
âOh. Wait. professor. âTime just seemed to slow down a bit.â
âIt wonât happen that quickly.â
âHmm!â
âI might really have to hit him.â
Of course, if hit incorrectly, it could result in fatal injuries, but if left like this, the boy from the Wardanaz family might burn to death with knowledge like a wizard who flew toward the sun with wings made of wax.
Wouldnât it be better to break a few bones and learn a lesson now than to have your soul burn with knowledge?
âItâs done, Professor! âI think itâs done!â
â?!!!!â
Professor Garcia accidentally broke the pocket watch he was holding to check the time.
It was because I was that surprised.
âUh, Professor. âIs there anything youâre upset about?â
âIâm just surprised, so donât worry about it. âStudent Lee Han.â
âProfessor, do you have trouble controlling your strength when youâre surprised?â
Lee Han asked seriously.
This was a matter of survival, as there were many things I had to learn under Professor Garcia in the future.
You may need to keep your distance from Professor Garcia on days with lightning or in areas where spirit monsters appearâ¦
âDonât ask useless questions, just try magic quickly.â
âyes. âThinking from moment to moment, from moment to moment, to awareness!â
With the spell, Lee Han could clearly feel his perceived time increasing.
In fact, this magic was not that effective on its own.
First of all, it was a magic that only increased the perceived time, not the wizardâs overall time.
When people are in a crisis, they often feel as if time is slowing down.
This magic was a magic that created a phenomenon similar to that sensation.
Naturally, the hands, feet and cane could not keep up with the speed of thought and moved slowly.
âItâs hard to adapt.â
Pot!
Professor Garcia quickly raised a question in the air.
Even if the body could not keep up with time, the accelerated consciousness was enough to have an advantage.
A wizard has arrived in the village and is measuring the area of the fields. In the following picture, the number that minimizes the sum of the areas surrounded by curves and straight lines isâ¦
âDid I come up with something too difficult?â
I thought I could just check the perceived time, but utilizing accelerated thinking was also more important than I thought.
This magic will be used more as a basis or linkage for later magics to be learned rather than for its own use.
In order to practice the ability to quickly accelerate thinking in an instant, problems that were more difficult than usual were good.
It has to be so difficult that you canât solve it all within the time limit so that you can keep thinking.
However, Professor Garcia was slightly concerned when Lee Han stayed too still.
If it feels so difficult to even approach, youâve chosen the wrong oneâ¦
âProfessor.â
Meanwhile, Lee Han, whose magic was over, opened his mouth.
âWas the question very difficult?â
âno. âNo, this is the problem Professor Knighton gave us last year.â
âyes? Why did Professor Knighton give this to me last year?â
Professor Garcia tilted his head because he didnât understand.
This wasnât a first-year problem.
âThey gave it to me separately so that I could solve the more difficult part.â
ââ¦â¦â
Shock and awe.
Professor Garcia was at a loss for words at the unexpected fact.
Not Professor Verdus or Professor Bagrek, but even Professor Knighton!
âI believed it because I was a bureaucratâ¦!â
It was clear that the atmosphere of Einrogard drove even sane outsiders crazy.
* * *
âprofessor. Now that I think about it, what did you say earlier?â
Lee Han, who had trained again on a different problem (this time it was measuring the position of a running troll assault leader), remembered what Professor Garcia had said earlier and asked.
âItâs club week next week, so a lot of outsiders will come, and I think this student will be called to a lot of places.â
âWhy on earth is it such a week?â
Lee Han looked at Professor Garcia with eyes full of despair and betrayal.
Those eyes were so earnest that Professor Garcia almost thought he had created a club week.
ââ¦I didnât open it. Student Lee Han!â
âSeniors should be doing research, so why waste their magical lives with such useless time?â
âThe school principal?!â
Professor Garcia was surprised to see Lee Hanâs grumbling look familiar.
That was the skeleton principal that Professor Garcia had seen during his school days.
âStudent Lee Han. Of course, outsiders may not want to come to Einrogard, but these events are necessary. There were festivals last year too, right? âThere are things that outsiders can only learn by coming in.â
Principal Skeleton didnât really like outsiders coming to visit, but objectively speaking, outsiders were essential to Einrogard.
How can you extort gold from someone who has deep pockets of gold?
The correct answer was to invite them to the school with a suitable excuse and then show them their glossy research.
The people of the Empire who visited Einrogard at the invitation of various clubs were willing to invest in research through persuasion, excitement, and sometimes intimidation and fear.
âAnd Einrogard students need to meet more outsiders. âIf they stick together among themselves, they keep going crazy.â
ââ¦â¦â
Professor Garciaâs words were harsh, but it was difficult to refute them.
Even in Lee Hanâs opinion, if the Einrogard students were gathered together, it didnât seem like they were very good for each other.
For no reason did black magic schools pour a lot of poisonous insects into a jar when making poison for cursing.
The bugs that fought against each other in the confined space and won until the end were the most vicious and powerfulâ¦
âWait a minute. âPerhaps the principal got the idea for Einrogard from solitude.â
âunderstand. professor. But I canât help but be worried because there are so many clubs Iâve joined.â
âhmm. âMaybe you should change your mind.â
âWith so many clubs joining, can we receive a lot of sponsorship or investment?â
ââ¦No, at least now you should talk to your seniors and say, âI want to reduce my workload.ââ
âprofessor. I say it every time.â
Lee Han said with a sense of resentment.
To anyone who looks at it, wouldnât it seem like a person who dug his own grave?
However, Lee Han had rejected all the ridiculous suggestions from his seniors.
Of course, I accepted some suggestions and did them together, but I couldnât help it because it showed my insight as a junior and was also beneficial to Lee Han himself.
ââ¦Isnât it because you keep making exceptions because itâs something you canât do anything about and then you do it well? âYou could have just learned the magic fairly slowly, but you forced yourself to learn it quickly.â
âyes? Did I do that?â
Professor Garcia clenched his fists.
Fortunately, Lee Han didnât notice. If I had noticed, I would have kept my distance outside the classroom.
âYou can forget it. haha. Student Lee Han. Shall we learn the next magic?â
âThe professor seems a little angryâ¦â
âI guess so. ruler!â
* * *
The next magic Lee Han learned was the 3rd circle âLesser Time Slowdownâ and âLesser Time Accelerationâ.
Both were magic cast on external objects, not wizards, and had the power to accelerate or decelerate the objectâs time.
Even though it is cast on an object rather than an individual wizard, this magic involves many complex techniques and processes, and for this, the , which Lee Han completed today, was basically necessary.
The amount of calculations is so large that it can only be completed if the wizardâs thinking time itself is increased.
âProfessor Garcia seems to be pushing me a little, perhaps because Iâm a second year student.â
Lee Han thought to himself and took a step forward.
Professor Garcia kept asking, âDo you think you can complete this today?â âAre you honestly trying to complete it?â It felt a little strange to ask.
Could it be indirect pressure?
-Knock!
âWhat do you mean?â
Lee Han, who came down to the first basement floor, was puzzled by the sound of a scream that sounded like someone had been hit.
It was a fairly familiar voice.
-Wow!!
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Hanâs face hardened as he continued to walk.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Screams were coming from inside Professor Bagrekâs classroom on the first basement floor.
-master. Why is it necessary to take the lecture?
âThatâs right.â
Lee Han couldnât deny that the baby basiliskâs question got to the point.
Why do students have to listen to lectures and suffer?
Maybe it was a difficult question that I would never be able to answer.
âA wizard may need to explore this first rather than other higher-dimensional truths.â
-I donât want to go in. Ughâ¦
The baby basilisk must have been really scared of Professor Boladi, so it whined when Lee Han tried to open the door.
Of course, there is grace in bringing him in and making him a home, but even taking that into account, Professor Boladi has done too many things to lose points.
âDo you want to go back to the dorm?â
But the baby basilisk shook its head.
I was more afraid of falling out with the owner than the crazy professor.
Lee Han opened his mouth to comfort the baby basilisk.
âhmm. Professor Bagrek is not an extremely bad person either. âHeâs a better person than Professor Verdus or the principal.â
-Is there anyone else?
The baby basilisk was definitely smart. I immediately realized that the target of comparison was not a very good one.
But Lee Han could not take any more time. I opened the door to listen to the lecture.
âCloak. âSwallow me.â
After reciting the spell and going inside, as expected, one of the juniors was whining and dealing with the beads.
Professor Boladi opened his mouth without even looking at me.
âSince permission has been granted, invisibility can be lifted.â
âOh. âAre you sure?â
Lee Han was surprised and removed his invisibility.
Originally, Einrogard seniors were not allowed to have contact with first-year students, but there was an exception to this rule.
When professors needed help with their education, it was possible to mobilize them.
And there was the unavoidable circumstance that Professor Boladiâs other students did not exist.
Of course, there was no one but Lee Han who would step forward, butâ¦
âYou really asked for permission. The principal is also very kind to Professor Bagrek.â
If Professor Verdus had said that he would use Lee Han in addition, there was a high possibility that he would have been sent to the punishment room due to the skeletal nature of the principal.
Isnât it repugnant that heâs so evil that he even tries to make second-year students do it because other seniors arenât enough?
But Professor Boladiâ¦
âI think I would have allowed itâ¦â
âEandurde.â
â!â
The Gorgon half-blood junior looked at Lee Han in surprise, but was unable to control the flying spirit stone beads and was hit.
Eandurde let out a pitiful âkwangâ sound and rolled over.
âProfessor, I think itâs still too early to attack.â
Lee Han spoke while looking carefully.
Originally, Lee Han did not dare to criticize Professor Boladiâs actions, but the fact that he was a junior was a slightly different story.
Professor Boladi answered with an expressionless face.
âI am not attacking.â
ââ¦?!â
Only then did Ihan realize that Eandurde had been practicing telekinesis magic alone.
While moving the spiritual stone beads to draw a certain shape, he accidentally lost control and attacked himself.
âah. sorry. It was still at that stage. Junior. âThe lecture is over.â
Despite Ihanâs call, Eandurde shook his head and tried to control the bead again.
Professor Boladi spoke with a slight look of concern on his expressionless face.
âIâm worried youâre overdoing it.â
ââ¦yes???â
