Episode 825
Fortunately, Falkrius heard his juniorâs cry.
âUh, Professor. Can I leave your seat for a moment?â
âOkay. Since the foot is no longer growing from the patientâs wrist⦠you can all take a short break.â
âThank you. I was a little worried. There is a wizard from the Magic Tower in the Water Demon Mountains, right? I left it to my junior for a while.â
âFalcrius.â
âYes, Professor.â
Professor Alkasis said as he burned the cut off feet.
âYour junior will take care of himself, so mind your own business.â
âNo⦠Iâm still a second yearâ¦â
Falkrius was embarrassed for the first time in a long time.
Of course, Falkrius sometimes mistook Lee Hanâs grade by one or two, but he was still a second grader, right?
The wizard from the Magic Tower in the Water Demon Mountains had a very difficult case, so he didnât know when or how the prognosis would worsen
. âItâs a case of being cursed yourself. You never know when or how things will get weird.â
âSo Iâm sure youâll take care of it.â
Professor Alkasis suppressed a yawn and spoke in a rough, hoarse voice.
Perhaps because I hadnât slept so much, I kept yawning even when I drank the full solution of the sleep-fighting potion and the insomnia-cursing potion.
âThe kids are running away because the professor keeps saying that! Theyâll come see me!â
Falkrius got so angry that he jumped out of his seat and turned around.
âNo⦠Falcrius! Falcrius!â
The professor was embarrassed and called his student. Falkrius walked away without stopping.
âYou canât act angry and not come back! Weâll start again in 30 minutes!â
ââ¦I know!â
Falkrius huffed and responded to the professorâs shout.
Alkasis of the Lagrinde family was certainly a respectable wizard, but at times like this, I really felt like he was going a bit too far.
They say that weak wizards cannot last long as healing wizards, so they need to be defeated quickly if they are to be defeated, but isnât there a limit?
At least it is not too late to do it after the juniors have solidified themselves.
If we already treat it this way, the already small number of second-year juniors could have decreased even further. Moreover, in the case of Wardanaz, many people from other schools are also listeningâ¦
âHuh, what are you doing?â
Falkrius made an idiotic noise and closed his eyes.
Bajun, the magic tower wizard of the Water Demon Mountains, was struggling in a state of being suppressed.
âUgh! Itâs because I was ambushed! Itâs because I let my guard down! If I had caught up with him properly, I wouldnât have been overpowered by a second-year student like this!â
âOkay, just stay still.â
âFree me! Letâs try again!â
âNo. We need to check if thereâs anything wrong with your head. Until then, I canât release you.â
âIâm fine!? Give me the cane!â
âFrom what youâre saying, it looks like youâre not okay. Iâm warning you, stay still.â
âWhat are you going to do if youâre not going to stay quiet? Sigh! Sigh! Surrender!â
Bajun, who had never thought that the telekinetic power he was currently suppressing was at a level that was being taken lightly, quickly cried out as the force tightened around his neck, limbs, and legs.
What kind of second year can use such strong magic?
âAh, senior. Have you seen it?â
âUh..uhh. I came. Butâ¦didâ¦the curse go to my head?â
While Falkrius didnât see it, he wondered if Bajun had gone berserk due to the curse and Lee Han had suppressed it.
âNo. I cured the curse, but he suddenly made a strange sound and called me. Could you please check?â
â?â
Falkrius, who heard his juniorâs words, was embarrassed, not knowing where to start.
âYou did it?â
âSounds weird?â
âNo. Before that. You cured the curse?â
âyes.â
ââ¦â¦â
Falkrius rushed towards Barjun.
Bajun, caught in a grip like a pot lid, screamed out loud.
âJust relaxâ¦â
âIâm trying to relax.â
âOh, sorry. I was holding it with telekinesis.â
Lee Han apologized and loosened Bajunâs collar. Barjun glared at him.
Falkrius cast several magic tests on the patient. Starting from trauma confirmation, soul testing, spiritual body projection, spirit detection, etc.
And, to my absolute surprise, there was no trace of the curse left. Bajun was very fine.
âWan⦠Itâs completely healed, junior! What on earth did you do!â
âYes? Is your head still okay?â
âokay!â
âI told you so!!â
Lee Han released his other telekinetic powers with eyes full of suspicion. Bajun stood up with a huff.
âYou definitely said something strange⦠Where was the prisoner?â
â⦠That was because you were surprised!â
âYou suddenly called me a saint.â
âIsnât that a reaction that can be made with conscience?!â
Bajun, who was trying to make an excuse, suddenly burst into tears.
I donât know anything else, but this wasnât a slip of the tongue, it was a legitimate reaction.
If I had asked anyone else, they would have said the same thing!
âWhy is there a saint?â
Falkrius looked at Lee Han as if he did not understand.
âThat guy didnât purify or weaken the curse, he just absorbed it into himself! No wonder heâs called a saint⦠Wow!â
Before he could finish speaking, Falkrius grabbed Bajunâs flesh with both fists and lifted him into the air.
âYou ordered it!!â
âOh no! No..! He did it on his ownâ¦!â
âHow can a second grader know something like that, you damned Waterhorse Mountains stone bastard!â
âUh, I did it on my own. Senior.â
ââ¦Is that so?â
Falkrius was taken aback by Lee Hanâs words and quickly put down the patient.
Then he cleared his throat and said:
âI think there was a brief misunderstanding. Phew.â
âI heard those Einrogard guys are all eccentric.â
Bajun grumbled while touching his neck.
I couldnât tell how many times I felt sleepy today.
Lee Han said with a cheerful smile.
âI think a mistake was made because it was an emergency.â
âWas it an emergency?â
Bajun honestly didnât agree, but decided to just move on.
In fact, if you were to cure a curse that was so difficult to cure, it would be a business worth getting caught by the collar a few times.
âYes. Anyway, thank you very much for making me better. And is there anything special about being a saint? No matter who you are, if you risk your life to save someone when they are about to end up like Professor Verdus, that is a saint. You are a saint, you young brat.â
âAre you sure your head is fine?â
Lee Han ignored the other personâs words and whispered to Falkrius. Falkrius nodded slightly.
âThank you again, and donât keep your promise. Be sure to come visit the Mulma Mountains. But first, I have to leave. Iâm so behind on research. So, thatâs enough!â
Bajun quickly ran to the airfield above the Magic Tower without even taking his shoes on.
Then, he hooked the magic chain onto the claws of the flying wyvern and flew away.
-You crazy wizard! What are you doing! Are you going to take responsibility if the wyvernâs claws break?!
-Iâm sorry! Letâs go together! Please throw it on the way to the Mulma Mountains!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWardanaz. You absorbed someone elseâs curse?â
âYes, but it has strong resistance so itâs okay.â
ââ¦â¦â
Just because one had strong resistance did not mean that everyone could absorb other peopleâs curses without hesitation.
This is not something that can be done without a strong sense of responsibility for others and determination.
âprofessor. âYou were right, Professor!â
Falkrius realized that Professor Alkasis was watching his students properly.
I thought he was a person who was so exhausted from work that he didnât know whether he was drinking coffee or tea, but that wasnât the case.
âBut why didnât you recognize me last time?â
In fact, during winter break last year, Professor Alkasis encountered students from the healing magic school who had changed into civilian clothes.
And it passed by without being recognized.
It was such a shocking anecdote that it is still talked about among students of the healing magic school.
-The professor didnât recognize us at that time, right?
-Honestly, I still doubt that you donât rememberâ¦
âItâs clear that you were just too lazy to deal with us. âWe misunderstood.â
Falkrius vowed to pass on what he had just learned to his juniors.
There is no way that someone who is so interested in Wardanaz, who just joined the team, would not know about other juniors.
âSeniors.â
When Falkrius continued to say nothing, Lee Han called carefully.
âHuh? Why?â
âAre you angry because I treated the patient?â
âWhat!? No?! Why do you think that?â
âYou were excited to study an unusual and interesting disease for a year.â
ââ¦Thatâs true, but that doesnât mean Iâm angry about the treatment!â
Embarrassed, Falkrius became suspicious that this junior might think he was a strange person.
To be honest, if you look at it strangely, he is only a second year student, but he is a junior who has absorbed a curse that he has not even fully identified into his bodyâ¦
âJunior. Just in case you donât know, I am warning you that you must not carelessly absorb other peopleâs curses.â
When Falkrius realized that his junior was much weirder than he thought, he quickly warned him.
It was an obvious thing to say, but it was also a necessary one
: âWhy do I do such a thing?â
âWhat did you just do?â
âThatâsâ¦an exception.â
âThen donât absorb it carelessly, even if itâs an exception. Understand?â
âYesâ¦â
âYou seem angry.â
* * *
âOh my, itâs Sakshin.â
Lagesa grunted every three seconds. In the end, Lee Han could not win and apologized.
âIâm sorry. I called you for no reason.â
âSweetheart. You called me that on purpose, right?â
âNo! What a misunderstanding!ââ
Like an experienced Einrogard student, Lee Han never admitted it.
Lagesa smiled and spoke like a kind grandmother.
âKihihi. I was just asking out of admiration. You can be honest. Do you think I would get angry over something like this? Thorgerdâs daughter?â
âyes.â
Lee Han answered immediately in his mind and then spoke pretentiously.
âI really called you to introduce you to Lagessa.â
âTch.â
Lagesa clicked his tongue.
This kid wasnât usually very cunning, so he never fell into any of the traps he would fall into. He was a talented person who would have become a pirate if he had been a pirate.
âI couldnât even look around properly because I was helping Alkasis with his work. Did anything interesting happen?â
âIt was nothing special. There was a wizard from the Water Horse Mountainsâ¦â
âAh. You mean Bajun? I made a bet on how many curses that kid could withstand.â
Lee Han was slightly surprised to hear the name of a more famous wizard than he expected.
âYes, itâs him. I treated him.â
âHow? It couldnât have been easy, right?â
âI absorbed the curse.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lagesa was so shocked that she could not continue speaking.
From the guts to absorb enough curses to be carried as Einro Guard to the magic that can absorb them.
Both were incredibly surprising.
And the most surprising thing was that he didnât even notice it was all going on behind his head.
âI should have told you, you brat! I think Iâll hang you from the mast! Iâll make you like Bible!â
âOh no! You were busy!ââ
âNo matter how busy you are, you have to see that! Thatâs what I came here to see! Youâve just become a fool!â
Lagesa, who had been fuming for a while, calmed down and asked,
âWhen is the next lecture?â
â1â¦â
âIn an hour?â
âNo. Itâs in 1 minute. You should run.â
ââ¦Yeah.â
Lee Han, who was running ahead, stopped.
âWhy are you doing that?
âWell, I think it would be better for me to go to this lecture alone. Wouldnât it be better for Lagessa to just tour the 7th floor again?â
âWhatâs wrong, kid?â
Lagesa took the timetable from Lee Hanâs hand with a grin on his face.
I had no idea that this cunning guy didnât want to go to a class.
âMaybe thereâs a lecture youâre not confident in?â
Surprisingly, it could have been cultured. Usually, people who are crazy about magic are not good at the etiquette of the empire.

Lagesaâs face was grimly distorted like a pirate caught in a storm.
