Episode 702
“What is this?”
Lee Han quickly responded to his senior’s ice-cold voice.
“You looked cold.”
“Are you saying that now?”
‘what?’
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed.
It would have worked well for Professor Verdus…
Apparently, Yukveltyre had a higher social intelligence than Professor Verdus.
‘But why does someone like that act like Professor Verdus?’
While he was thinking about it, Yukbeltire put away his cloak and looked at Lee Han. The gaze was half indifference and half contempt.
“Try putting your hand on the clock again.”
“…?”
Lee Han was surprised once again.
Surprisingly, the other person did not recognize Lee Han!
‘what? ‘Is it good luck to start the second year?’
It’s not for nothing that the term “beginner’s luck” exists.
I didn’t know that luck was helping Lee Han, who had just entered second grade, out of pity for him.
‘It’s not over yet. The idea is to escape without raising as much suspicion as possible.’
Meanwhile, Yukbeltire took out a small magnifying glass and looked at his junior.
It was a magnifying glass with a lens for high-level magic recognition that I made myself.
Although wizards are those who control magical power, even wizards cannot perfectly recognize the flow of magical energy.
Even in a space that appears peaceful without any movement, numerous magical flows and changes occur.
The flow of magical power was so complex that even people with an innate ability to sense magical energy found it difficult to capture it with just their senses.
This simple artifact created by Yukbeltire accurately recognized the flow of magic power of the junior.
Yukveltire was planning to check for himself what kind of nonsense his junior had done that caused the artifact to stop. Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Jang!
When I activated it, the magnifying glass lens broke.
“……”
“……”
Yukveltire tilted his head slightly. Then he cast a spell on his eyes.
“Pierce through.”
When < Baquantalana's Clear Eye > was cast, the information from the expanded space was directly transmitted to Yukveltire’s brain.
Yukveltyre, who was not good at remembering people’s faces, but remembered magic well, quickly recalled his junior’s magic from memory.
“A second year student from the Wardanaz family?”
“…Maybe you’re looking at the wrong person?”
Lee Han attempted his last resistance in a resigned voice.
* * *
Yukveltire, who recognized his junior, showed a much friendlier attitude than before.
Of course, that didn’t mean he offered tea or refreshments.
Just talking to the junior in front of me first and asking questions was a very friendly attitude by Juukveltire standards.
“Have you thought about research?”
‘It’s coming.’
In response to his senior’s question, Lee Han strengthened his resolve.
Fortunately, Lee Han had an answer prepared for this situation.
“I am honored, but unfortunately I have a prior commitment. Also, he said he wouldn’t forgive us if we did other research at the same time…”
“What kind of rude person is this?”
“This is senior Delet.”
“……”
Yukveltire looked slightly sad.
As hard as it was to imagine Professor Verdus looking upset, Lee Han was quite surprised because the senior in front of him was the same.
“You said that to me and then you tried to monopolize it. Delet, I’m disappointed.”
‘You must not refute. You shouldn’t refute it.’
Lee Han suppressed the urge to defend Delet.
There was something Delet said.
– Junior, since you are in the Blue Dragon Tower, you may meet Yukveltyre.
-What should I do if I meet him? Should I play dead?
-That’s a good method, but it won’t work. Yukveltire will check your pulse right away. Just making excuses.
-yes? My senior killed me?
-…no! Make excuses that you don’t have time to participate in other studies because of me!
-Isn’t that too much of a loss to your senior?
-My life has already been a loss since I decided to go to 5th grade. It won’t change anything if it increases here.
-……
-…Sorry. It wasn’t something to say in front of a junior. In any case, my excuse will probably work for Yukveltyre. really. No matter what Yukveltyre says about me, just stay still. Don’t refute it. The moment you refute it, you get caught up in it.
Classmates gave Yukveltyre insulting titles like Verdus’ best disciple, but in reality, Yukveltyre was very different from Professor Verdus.
If Professor Verdus had no social intelligence at all, he had Yukbeltire but did not use it.
We should not approach it lightly, as we will use whatever means and methods are available if necessary. It was best to just keep my mouth shut.
‘I endure it.’
While Lee Han was patient, Yukveltire smiled coldly.
“But I’m satisfied. “Did Delet finally decide to stop taking care of underclassmen and focus on his own magic? Now that he is in the 5th year, he may have had a change of heart.”
‘…If I challenge you to a duel, will I lose?’
For a moment, Lee Han almost challenged the senior in front of him to a duel.
How can you insult Direth like that!
Yukveltyre spoke in a cold voice, unaware of Lee Han’s thoughts.
“If it’s because of Direth’s research, I’ll give in for a moment.”
“Are you sure?”
“of course. “I just have to convince Delet later.”
“……”
Lee Han suddenly became very worried about Delet.
Professor Verdus’s idea of persuasion was roughly to harass the other person until they were sick of it…
…but how different would his student really be?
‘I might really have to subdue this guy here!’
Unexpected that his distant junior was seriously contemplating assassination, Yukveltire turned his attention to the artifact again.
“So, the junior member of the Wardanaz family… I was wondering why the artifact became inoperable. “You said you were listening to quite a few schools, right?”
“yes.”
“Maybe that’s the cause.”
Yukveltire gave an order while looking at the giant river clock artifact.
“Exclude lectures that can be replaced!”
If you attend many schools, you will inevitably receive many lectures.
Jukveltyre issued an order to exclude lectures that overlap with other lectures or that can be replaced.
Then…
ting!
“……”
“……”
The clock ticked and then stopped. Yukveltire frowned very faintly.
As a wizard of the Buyeo School of Magic, his pride was hurt.
“I can’t believe you didn’t expect something like this to happen.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s not your fault. It’s my fault. “Professor Garcia’s precedent was also overlooked.”
“……”
Lee Han was silent with a complicated expression.
I didn’t know whether I should be happy or sad.
“Then… let’s find a school that can be excluded.”
“Is that okay too?”
“okay. “Because I added some foresight magic as well.”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised by his senior’s words.
I thought it was a complicated artifact, but it turned out to be much more amazing than I thought.
I never thought it would even contain foresight magic.
“How does this clock work?”
“There are priorities. Did I mention schools and interests and abilities? Next is talent and professors.”
“Talent and professor… you mean professor?”
Lee Han felt strange and asked again.
I know it’s talent, but what is a professor?
“You can think of talent as your ability that you don’t know about. If you come across a strange or unusual lecture, think of yourself as having a talent for it. The last one is the professor. To put it simply, it is how well your personalities fit together. “If you don’t get along well with your teacher, it will be difficult to learn.”
“Oh my god, such a function?!”
Lee Han gave a look of admiration.
I wondered if I should use magic like that instead of the headmaster’s great magic when looking for Einroguard new students.
“Shouldn’t you raise your priority, Professor?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? “In magic, personality compatibility with the teacher is the least important part.”
Yukveltyre looked at his junior as if he were pitiful. Lee Han became sullen.
Crunch, clank, clank… Ting!
“……”
“……”
While we were talking, the clock stopped again.
The wrinkles between Yukbeltire’s eyebrows became slightly deeper than before.
“Why is it like this this time?”
“…It seems there is no school lacking talent. “It’s amazing…”
Yukveltyre looked his junior up and down again.
I thought he had great talent for enchantment (plus spirit affinity), but looking at him like this, I realized he was incredibly versatile.
How is it possible for all schools to be equally talented?
“I’m sorry that there is no school lacking talent.”
“no. Like I said, this is my fault. “Don’t apologize.”
An excellent enchantment wizard is not afraid of discovering loopholes.
The more loopholes were discovered, the more the artifact developed.
…I didn’t think there would be another junior like this, but…
“Good. Then… let’s look again for schools of thought that can be excluded. “Focus on the professor who is the least suitable!”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised when Yukveltire again ordered him to find a school to exclude due to his compatibility with the last priority professor.
‘Who is the professor who is the least suitable for me?’
To be honest, I was curious about who it was.
There are so many people who can guess, so it’s more…
ting!
The clock stopped again.
“……”
“…I don’t think there are any professors I don’t get along with.”
“This thing is broken!”
Lee Han shouted angrily.
What kind of crazy clock is this?
Otherwise, Yukveltyre must have made a mistake with his precognitive magic. What type of foresight magic does an enchantment wizard know?
“Do you know how much I hate some of my professors?”
“I guess so. But it looks like those professors don’t hate you. “I see the results came out like this.”
“……”
Lee Han felt a shiver run down his spine at his senior’s blunt explanation.
When I thought about it, considering the personalities of some professors, it wasn’t strange that if you avoided lectures, they were forced to add lectures.
What if this watch even predicted that?
‘scary…!’
“I can’t help it.”
Yukbeltire, who was thinking about it, opened his mouth.
“Is there a way?”
“Excluding easy lectures that can be studied on your own, focus on difficult lectures.”
“No, what is that…?”
Crunch!
With the clock blowing out smoke, the schedule for one day’s lectures was finally completed.
It was a packed schedule with almost no empty space to be seen from morning to evening.
Yukveltire nodded as if to write it down. Lee Han wrote it down with a very uneasy expression.
“The lecture < Wand Materials and Magic Amplification > is worth learning. If you learn this, minor errors will be greatly reduced when conducting research. Before attending the lecture, please bring the following materials…”
After completing the schedule, Yukveltire gave additional explanations for some of the lectures.
Before taking the lecture on < Ancient Artifacts and the Tragic History of Summoning Magic >, you must have at least three mental defense artifacts…
Lee Han, who was diligently taking notes, felt a little grateful.
“thank you. Seniors. “I didn’t expect you to explain it in such detail.”
“Are you taking the time to explain how to feel grateful? “Is that why you want to help with research?”
“no?”
* * *
Even though it was evening after the explanation, Lee Han and his friends could not rest.
Before visiting the new spaces in the tower, contraband had to be disposed of first.
‘You don’t put all your eggs in one basket.’
Some were in their private rooms, some were in the secret base, some were in the cabin, and some were in the second-year common room… The amount of
work was so large that even if the work was done all evening this evening, it wouldn’t be enough.
“Junior.”
“!”
Lee Han, who was leaving the tower, was surprised to find Delet.
“senior. “Keep your voice down!”
“…hey. You are a second year student. “Now even if you talk to me, you won’t go to the punishment cell.”
“When I meet a first year student, I go to the punishment room.”
“What do you mean? First graders can’t see you?”
“I’m the only one who wasn’t banned.”
“……”
