Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 025

‘No way. Probably not.’

Lee Han closed his eyes tightly.

But the reality was sobering.

You got it! From the first week! haha! ha ha ha!

“… vs what??”

Nilia, who had lost her understanding of the situation, asked in a trembling voice.

Lee Han replied calmly.

“Looks like you’ve fallen for the principal’s trap.”

No matter how Giselle found an escape route, it was clear that she was playing in the principal’s palm.

The problem is that if Giselle was caught alone, Lee Han and his friends followed after him!

The fact that you’ve been here since the first week must have seen the fake maps I made and distributed! Today you guys have learned a lesson! Don’t trust maps from unknown sources! I don’t know if that treasure map is really a treasure map or a trap set up by an evil lich!

“……”

“……”

Is there such a bastard, really?

Lee Han was astounded.

So, isn’t it that the Headmaster Skeleton himself made a fake escape map and scattered it here and there?

I don’t know when the new students who saw it will come in, and I don’t know if they will see it in the first place,

but to do such a thing…

He was saying that he would give lessons for the students, but Lee Han knew well about such professors.

It was clear he was just enjoying it.

White Tiger Tower students. listen carefully! Escape is over. Now is the time to return. The rules are simple. I won’t step out and send pursuers, so avoid it and return to the tower! Guilty if caught. If you avoid it, you are innocent! Any method may be used. It doesn’t matter if you defeat my pursuers!

A huge skeleton appeared with a green light in the dark night sky with a horse.

And the skeleton began pouring undead summons from its mouth.

Hounds and pursuers made of bones fell down the mountain one by one.

Pod!

Lights were lit everywhere. The bones lit the torches.

It was the beginning of the chase.

* * *

“Let’s bounce!!!”

Nilia whispered urgently.

Nilia’s eyes were trembling with fear.

“Nilia. calm down.”

“How calm!! If you get caught, you might die!”

“no. I will not die.”

Unlike Lee Han, who was so familiar with crazy professors and even had a few separate conversations with the principal, Nilia was terribly afraid of the skull principal.

From Lee Han’s point of view, the skeleton headmaster was just having fun, but from Nilia’s point of view, he seemed to be enraged by the new students’ arrogant and terrible crimes.

“That… is that so?”

“If you get caught, it’s like going to a corporal punishment room or something like that.”

“Physical punishment room!? There’s some kind of torture device inside… something that can’t come out forever…”

“I don’t think so.”

Nylia was imaginative in a bad way. Lee Han covered Nilia’s mouth with his hand and checked the surrounding situation.

‘Are they skeletons?’

The sound of rustling and crashing through the bushes. It seemed that the bone trackers were moving through the surroundings.

-Kong! kong!

I could hear the barking of bone hounds.

“run!! If they come after you, take them down!”

“For honor! For chivalry!”

The students of the White Tiger Tower shouted and pulled out their wooden swords.

It was clear that he thought that he would try to fight at least once.

‘But the current situation probably has nothing to do with honor or chivalry.’

I was a little curious about how the situation I was caught trying to sneak out of school had to do with honor or chivalry, but… “I guess there’s only

one thing I need to do right now?”

Durgyu asked in a low voice.

In the current situation, it was meaningless to be from different towers.

We must work together to defeat our enemies!

“You made a good point. Durgyu.”

“okay. I step in…”

“Let’s get out of here while they step out and draw attention.”

“……”

Durgyu looked at Lee Han as if it was absurd.

But Nilia Yoner Gainando was right in favor.

““Good idea!””

“……”

Durgyu was about to say something, but held back. Because now the leader of the group was Lee Han, not Durgyu.

‘I have to break through the shallow side of the siege.’

observe.

I wanted to run out right now, but Lee Han held back.

There were many times when, in any situation, it was better to wait patiently than to panic and rush.

Lee Han waited to check the shallow side of the encirclement.

Fortunately, the students of the White Tiger Tower were wasting time by screaming and running out.

I couldn’t just throw this opportunity away.

‘no. But isn’t that too harsh?’

Lee Han, who held his breath and observed in the bush, was taken aback.

The undead summons poured out by the skeletons floating in the black night sky continued to appear without stopping.

It was a huge number, as if trying to push it with numbers to prevent them from escaping.

‘…I underestimated the principal’s madness!’

Lee Han sighed inwardly.

The principal was a little more crazy than Lee Han thought.

As they declared guilty if they were caught and innocent if they escaped, they thought they would give the students some chance.

But seriously, I thought I would block it.

Or maybe he thought he was giving himself a chance.

‘The thought circuits in the heads of professors are a bit twisted somewhere.’

Perhaps the skeleton headmaster was genuinely thinking, ‘I have to do this, so the students will grow while breaking through this siege, right?’

The problem was that Lee Han had to break through it.

‘What is this… It’s meaningless no matter how much the kids at the White Tiger Tower draw attention to it. Should I just surrender?’

Bone chasers guarded every corner of the way down, and began to light torches.

After that, another bone chaser.

After that, the bone chasers again…

The number increased so much that the bottom of the mountain felt as bright as broad daylight.

‘for a moment.’

As Lee Han pondered, he realized that something was strange.

It was that the bone chasers who led the bone hounds didn’t pay attention to Lee Han’s party.

‘Is this strange?’

Of course, right now, Lee Han and his party were hiding in the bushes, and the students of the White Tiger Tower were rushing downstairs, drawing a lot of attention.

However, if you know that Lee Han and his party are hiding around here, shouldn’t you tell the bone hound to search the area or approach?

However, the bone hounds and bone chasers were running downwards, chasing only the students of the White Tiger Tower instead of looking for Lee Han and his party.

‘Couldn’t it be… the principal doesn’t know we’re here?’

Lee Han naturally thought that the principal knew that Lee Han and his party were hiding.

Because the principal was a great magician that couldn’t be compared to Lee Han.

But what if the principal isn’t here?

‘I won’t step out and I’ll send the pursuers, so avoid it and return to the tower!’

Come to think of it, I couldn’t tell if the huge skeleton floating in the sky was the real principal or not.

It wouldn’t be strange if he sent an alter ego from afar or just an illusion.

‘Then I just need to avoid the eyes of the pursuers!’

It was far better to hide and run than to get caught and run away.

“…Let’s go upstairs.”

“what??”

“Under here, I can’t go unnoticed. look at the numbers The moment they collide, the pursuers will come rushing in.”

Nilia’s eyelashes trembled at Lee Han’s words.

“But above, there are no pursuers. Climb up and take a detour or hold on. That’s a lot more likely.”

“okay!”

“?”

Nilia readily agreed to it, to the point where even Lee Han, who spoke out, was taken aback.

“I brought it up… but can I accept it without worrying so much? I don’t know what the road up here is.”

“Because it’s far better than being caught and locked inside a torture chamber in a corporal punishment room!”

“…I’ve said it before, but it seems you’re misunderstanding something.”

* * *

I think I went upstairs carefully for about 30 minutes.

Nilia said in a low voice.

“It is a cave. Let’s go inside.”

“What about monsters?”

“doesn’t exist. It’s a small cave and there are no signs of people at all. I threw a stone.”

Nilia tapped her long ear and said.

“We have moved too much now. I’m fine, but everyone else will need some rest.”

“I guess so.”

Nilia and Ihan Durgyu were fine, but Yoner looked tired and Gainando was on the verge of death.

He continued to walk in the dark, and on the way he ran away nervously to avoid being pursued, so it wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed now.

“Light!”

Entering the cave, Lee Han used magic. A light that burned like the sun filled the cave.

Yoner hung his cloak over the entrance of the cave to block out the light.

“No way… they won’t follow me all the way here, will they?”

“don’t worry. I didn’t hear any chasing as they came. They all seem to be gathered at the bottom of the mountain.”

Nylia reassured Yoner.

Fortunately, what Lee Han said was true.

The summoned beasts summoned by the principal did not notice Lee Han and his party and did not go further up the mountain.

“The question is, how long will those summoned beasts last?”

“Perhaps I should have broken through.”

When Durgyu said something regretful, Lee Han shook his head.

“no. It would have been impossible to break through by force.”

“Why?”

“Because the principal would never openly show such a weakness in his personality.”

“……”

“……”

The other students thought, ‘How do you know that?’

“Whether you wait for them to disappear or take a detour, now is the time to rest. Let’s eat something first.”

“agree!”

Lee Han distributed the sausage and bread cheese he had brought to each of them.

Gainando tossed the dwarven honey candy into his mouth and closed his eyes to savor it. It was as if he had not eaten anything sweet for several days and it was bone-crushing.

“this. I drank all the water…”

Nilia took out a leather water bag with a puzzled expression. They ran out of water as they continued to walk.

“Nothing to worry about. Because there is magic.”

“!”

“Spring up!”

As Lee Han shouted while brandishing his staff, a lump of water appeared in the empty air.

Nylia hastily brought out a leather water bag.

“That’s really great. Lee Han!”

Durgyu admired.

For Durgyu, who was slower to learn magic than other tower students because he was from a family of knights, Lee Han’s magic was close to an amazing miracle.

Both Gainando and Yoner clapped their hands and were delighted like children.

“I was just thirsty!”

“Thanks, I’ll drink well.”

Nylia filled the leather water bag and carefully closed it. Then he said it as if he was jealous.

“I wish I could learn water magic

too…”

Lee Han said with sincerity.

Actually, this is not that difficult magic, and it is a magic that can be used easily once you learn the senses.

“I hope so.”

Nylia said so, then raised her staff and cast a spell.

“Burn up!”

Hwareuk!

A small ember started to burn in the air and moved onto the kindling Nylia had gathered.

A cozy bonfire was made with the sound of crackling.

Exclamation leaked out from everywhere, as if everyone’s hands and feet were frozen from walking on the cold night road.

“phew. I’m glad I succeeded in one go. I succeeded last time, but I was anxious.”

Nilia succeeded in creating flame magic at once, as if she had an aptitude for fire.

Then he looked at Lee Han and said.

“I envy you. I’d rather have water magic than fire.”

“……”

“…why why?!”

Nilia was taken aback when Lee Han glared at her and stuttered.

Did I miss something?!
