Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 209

You’re probably thinking about it even vaguely by now. What must be done to arrive at the truth? Which way should I walk?

‘…I didn’t.’

Even though I thought about what kind of government job would be good, I wasn’t thinking about what I should do for the sake of the truth.

But Lee Han was silent.

The skeleton headmaster must have been serious, and it didn’t seem like it would do anything good to tell him that he was contemplating a government job.

Considering the hostility toward bureaucrats that some professors have shown in the past…

Let me give you a helpful piece of advice. When I was human, I was a prince.

“yes?????!!!!!”

Lee Han was so surprised that his heart stopped.

What was your reaction just now?

“Somehow, you were full of grace.”

thanks. He was the prince of a beautiful small country. Nevertheless, I had a lot of troubles since childhood. Why must I die from the moment I was born? Why must the people of the kingdom suffer from the eight sorrows, the seven emotions, and the five desires?

“That… you did.”

Lee Han was overwhelmed as he was in the younger days of Headmaster Skeleton, who was so fine and splendid than he thought.

Then I got enlightenment and abandoned my body. became a lich

“…Uh, aren’t you skipping too many steps?”

In the meantime, what do you do after hearing the boring story of training? Anyway, the important thing is that I was able to overcome the limitations I just mentioned by abandoning my body.

“……”

The higher the status as a wizard, the higher the number of virtues a wizard must possess.

It is not just about controlling one’s magical powers and understanding magic, but also about controlling one’s inner self and cultivating one’s imagery.

From that point of view, emotions were also enemies that wizards had to fight.

When being swayed by the five desires and seven passions, it is easy for even a wizard with a gun to wander.

The Headmaster Skeleton cut the bridle of such anguish with a single knife.

…Although that method was an extreme method of discarding the living body.

“I’m a bit richer…”

I didn’t mean to become richer.

Headmaster Skeleton didn’t pay much attention to Lee Han’s disapproval.

You told me the way I’ve walked Giving up the body is not the only answer. There are infinitely many paths to truth.

Only the skeleton remained, blinking blue eyes, but I could feel the vertigo that could not be hidden from that figure.

Lee Han looked like a sage for the first time as a skeleton headmaster.

Normally, I felt like a boss monster in an evil castle…

From my point of view, you should be able to control yourself without becoming a lich.

“Why?”

Lee Han slightly expected.

No matter how eccentric he was, he was a great wizard.

A person like that rated Lee Han highly, so there was no way I couldn’t help but be happy.

It’s not easy at that age to deliberately suffer under multiple professors. Such asceticism is helpful in cultivating the mind and body. That’s a very good choice. keep doing that

“……”

Lee Han was serious.

It was a compliment, but somehow it made me feel very bad.

* * *

‘This is not the village of Philone.’

Lee Han was amazed at the sight of a prosperous city outside the carriage.

The village of Filone, the closest village to Einrogard, was also a very prosperous village because of its uniqueness.

Originally, normal villages did not have so many wizards, adventurers, mercenaries, or merchants.

However, the city in front of me overwhelmed the village of Philone. No matter where I looked, the energy of vitality and prosperity was overflowing.

‘A poet of Grande.’

The city closest to the magic school.

When I went to the village of Philone, I heard that ‘all the families of the students who were waiting outside have gone to the city of Granden’.

Lee Han suddenly looked around.

I was not surprised to see a big city as I was from, but it was true that it was fresh in many ways.

When he was with the Wodanaz family, he stayed only in the family manor and manor.

to buy a present.

-yes.

“?”

Lee Han hesitated when the headmaster of the skeleton gave orders to the summoned beasts outside.

What gift is it?

Isn’t it about visiting Ogonin’s Tower? It’s rude to visit without a gift.

“……”

I wondered if I was already rude enough to go get revenge, but Lee Han didn’t say anything.

really. Also buy this iron head snack.

-yes.

After a while.

Several beautifully wrapped cookie boxes flew into the wagon.

It was a box containing licorice candy, red bean jelly, Yumilgwa, and so on. Headmaster Skeleton saw the composition and complained.

Sweets without dignity. Isn’t it a snack that children like?

– I bought it as the most popular snack among young people.

I thought so. Like a fool.

-sorry.

done. eat it

However, Lee Han did not touch the sweets recklessly. The skeleton headmaster was puzzled.

Why? I didn’t hear poison.

“If you eat this, won’t you lose the reward you promised last time?”

……

The other day, Professor Verdus decided to give him a reward for fixing the accident.

Headmaster Skeleton admired it for the first time in a long time.

Out of all the many disciples he had seen, none was so prudent.

that’s separate Promise me.

“thank you.”

…But don’t put cookies in your coat pocket.

Seeing the freshman trying to put a snack in his pocket right away, the skeleton headmaster slightly reflected on the school rules he had set.

Come to think of it, I heard that the spire keeper gave me a present.

“ah. yes.”

It seems like an overly generous gift, but…

‘Emm.’

Lee Han recalled the package the Spire Keeper had given him.

Certainly, the necklace in the package was a decent artifact.

…Except for the invisibility magic.

For Lee Han, who already had an invisibility belt and invisibility magic, the invisibility necklace was a bit too much of a gift.

“But I’ve already mastered the invisibility magic.”

what? that’s fast What have you learned?

“< The Invisibility Cloak of Gonadaltes >.”

Headmaster Skeleton was surprised and satisfied at Lee Han’s answer.

I didn’t expect to learn it already. The pace is pretty fast.

‘shit. After all, I didn’t have to learn it all at once.’

My magic is better than any other invisibility magic. You can be proud of yourself.

“It always does.”

And even artifacts with the same effect are not useless. Even if he had already mastered the same magic. Think carefully.

“?”

Lee Han tried to think about what the skeleton headmaster said, but the skeleton headmaster didn’t give him a chance.

Headmaster Skeleton grumbled when he saw the gift the summoner had bought.

No, what kind of gift is this? No matter what, it’s such a stack of cards.

-It’s a card that Ogonin-sama also has in it.

I wonder if all the cards featuring Ogonin will become gifts. I really want it…

The headmaster grunted and threw the deck of cards into the air and blew them into the corner.

And why is the performance so good on the Ogonin theme?

-But the owner said the other day that the performance of the card is not important, but the magician who uses it…

The summoner who was talking outside kept his mouth shut. Lee Han thought that the headmaster must have used silence magic.

take this you

‘I already have a completed deck.’

However, Lee Han calmly accepted.

It was because the Headmaster Skeleton could have been more mean.

“……”

The card the Skeleton Headmaster threw was not Ogonin.

was himself

Put it in your deck and use it well. it’s a good card

“Uh… yes.”

Lee Han’s deck was an agile, low-cost deck that relentlessly aimed only at the opponent’s magician’s health from the beginning of the game and quickly cut them down.

It was difficult to use the Skeleton Principal card, which costs a lot of mana to summon, but…

Lee Han put the card into the deck right in front of the Skeleton Principal.

Flattery should always be sincere.

In fact, the skeleton headmaster was pleased with Lee Han’s appearance.

I’ll go buy it myself.

“yes? Can I still?”

Lee Han hesitated.

No matter how much the people of the empire are used to the appearance of all kinds of bizarre wizards, it was questionable whether they would be able to do that even after seeing a lich with only a skeleton floating around.

However, before Lee Han’s question was finished, the skeleton headmaster had turned into a human.

Wearing a robe made of dark blue silk and holding a staff with a unique and elegant movement that only nobles can show, anyone can see that he was a noble from an imperial family.

Lee Han was not surprised by that in itself. It would have been more surprising if the Archmage, the size of the skeleton headmaster, couldn’t use a human shell.

Lee Han was surprised because the headmaster’s human face was a familiar face he had seen somewhere.

‘statue…!’

A statue guarding the passageway to the Statue of the Forgotten Beast, which you saw while wandering around the 3rd floor of the main building.

At that time, I thought ‘I don’t know who it is, but he’s filthy handsome’…

Why is that?

“I was really impressed with how dignified he was.”

Fourth, the second greatest strength is the very heart that knows what dignity is.

Headmaster Skeleton nodded as if flattered.

Lee Han thought to himself.

‘Black magic is really scary.’

It is said that even the moon wanes when it is full, but how many people can think of the skeleton headmaster after looking at the statue?

let’s go.

“yes.”

The two priests stepped out of the carriage.

Even in a crowded crowd, the two attracted people’s attention at once.

Headmaster Skeleton opened the door of a bookstore luxuriously decorated with brass and bronze sculptures.

It was a bookstore with a signboard reading < Ikalten's Jeolwoogwan (絶愚館) >.

“welcome.”

The dapper, well-dressed employee corrected his posture and bowed his head. As soon as I saw them, I guessed their identities.

“Is there a magic book?”

“yes. of course.”

“Give me one of the easiest fantasy magic introductions. Well packaged.”

“…?”

Lee Han wondered what the skeleton principal was doing.

Of course, there’s no way there wouldn’t be a magic book in a bookstore of this size, but it’s the easiest introduction to fantasy magic.

“Are you going to give it as a gift?”

“You are quick-witted.”

Lee Han decided not to say anything.

‘I don’t know. It’s something the two of you have to figure out on your own.’

When two wizards were enemies of each other, there was nothing good about intervening between them.

Lee Han looked away and looked through the other books. Then I found a familiar name.

“Is this a book written by a man named Ogonin?”

“Let’s see… that’s right. An advanced application of fantasy magic in the barrier that he used when he was young… Ah. Good idea. I’ll have to buy that one too. Let’s read it in front of him.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“There is no need to wrap this. I will take it.”

“……”

As the time to go to the Tower of Ogonin drew closer, Lee Han began to feel uneasy.

Principal Skeleton was a person who would have no regrets even if he came out with a fight, but isn’t Lee Han a man with a future like Gu Man-ri?

If the illusion wizards have a grudge against Lee Han, not the skeleton principal…

‘Should I use invisibility magic?’

* * *

After purchasing the presents, the carriage left the city and from then on, it started running through the sky.

In the middle of the mountain range filled with layers of bizarre cliffs, I saw the Wizard’s Tower rising sharply.

Returning as a skeleton, the principal opened his mouth at once.

life and death.

Even if it was the same word, each word the wizard uttered had a different meaning.

And that’s what the skeleton headmaster just said.

Lee Han realized that the words acted as a starting device and a huge magic was activated.

The world was shaking.

Wizards were beings who understood the order of the world and knew how to twist it cunningly, but there were also wizards who sometimes rewrote the world order itself as they wished.

Headmaster Skeleton was a wizard who had reached that level.

…but it was a problem that I was using it when I came to someone else’s tower and had a fight!
