Chapter 66
Not only was he carrying a mountain of supplies, but he was also employing on the boxes floating behind him.
In situations like this, any other mage would have resorted to higher-level spells, as was not meant to be utilized in such a manner!
Its intended application was to assist the user in moving objects like quills and erasers. At best, it could lift a marble
Such performance was beyond impressive. In fact, it was even freakish to some extent.
Could this still be considered a first-circle spell??
And hes using a physical enhancement spell as well! Who taught him that??
Professor Garcia, who had been marveling at the boxes floating behind Yi-han, finally took notice of the aura of magic that surrounded his body.
The mana was arranged in an intricate manner, assisting his movement.
There was only one such type of magic: physical enhancement.
Physical enhancement spells were popular as their effects were immediately apparent, but they required channeling magic into a human body, so the repercussions were just as great.
Unlike seasoned mercenaries and veteran adventurers, most students had frail bodies as they spent most of their time sitting before a desk with a quill in hand. This was why they werent taught physical enhancement spells early on
Then where could he have learned it?
Thats a great question.
Principal Skelly feigned ignorance, maintaining a constant expression that truly embodied a lich-like demeanor.
Maybe he learned it through one of the books in the library. I shouldve given him a warning
Oh, dont be like that, Professor Garcia. The students wont be able to grow properly if we keep imposing restrictions like that.
Is he the one behind this?
Professor Garcia grew suspicious of Principal Skelly.
She had no physical evidence, but her intuition told her that he was the culprit!
***
, the spell that Yi-han was forced to learn, was quite unique in nature.
Usually, physical enhancement spells only affected one particular aspect or field, such as strength or agility.
This was especially true of lower-circle magic.
After all, if one became too greedy with a lower-circle spell, it could turn into a bizarre magic that nobody could master.
was precisely one such example.
A bizarre first-circle spell that enhanced the users strength, agility, cardiovascular endurance, and reflex!
And for that reason, it was difficult to learn as well.
If it was a simple magic that only enhanced the users strength, all one had to do was imagine an invincible warrior. If it enhanced the users agility, an image of a swift bird would suffice.
Combining all four into one image wasnt as easy.
-I see why it has Gonadaltes inside its name.
Yi-han gritted his teeth as he complained to the black book.
In some cases, a spell would bear the name of the mage who created it.
This served both as an honor to the mage for their accomplishment and as a signpost indicating the nature of the magic.
The fact that Gonadaltes was included in the spells name was a clear indication that it was a dogshit of a spell to learn!
Since it contains the phrase nimble footsteps, shouldnt it only boost the users agility? At least make the name match the spells effects!
Yi-han had to go through countless trials and errors to roughly figure out the approach to this spell.
He possessed a rich imagination and was flexible in his thoughts, which, unbeknownst to him, were even greater advantages than his abundant mana.
Utilizing these strengths, Yi-han imagined what Principal Skelly wouldve been like in his youthful days.
As a matter of course, he had no idea what Principal Skelly actually looked like in the past, but he tried to envision what he may have looked like by tapping into his creativity.
Someone composed, yet with a hint of madness in his eyes. A nasty personality to go along his sharp and aggressive nature. Agility and physique that only a battle junkie would have
He also imagined the individual adorned in dark attire and wielding a staff in a menacing manner, creating the perfect image of a malevolent mage that could appear as an antagonist of any story.
Hed have to be one hell of a monster.
A mage that was strong, agile, tough, and had quick reflexes.
And the image worked. The spell which he kept failing at had begun to take shape.
My footsteps reign over the earth!
-My footsteps reign over the earth!
-My footsteps reign over the earth!
He kept chanting and chanting.
After what felt like an eternity, Yi-han finally managed to pull it off. The mana from the spell enveloped him, embedding itself in his body as a tattoo would.
Not only did he experience a boost to his strength and agility, but his cardiovascular endurance and reflex grew as well.
Paririririk!
The black book flap, as if to congratulate Yi-hans success.
However, the satisfaction that he felt was short-lived as he suddenly remembered something.
-Wait a second. What about the repercussions? Since it affects so many aspects of my body
Before he could finish his sentence, the black book chased him out of the imaginary space.

Thanks, Yonairebut that horse has one hell of a temper. Were you okay?
Really?
Yonaire cocked her head.
Nothing happened, though? I was able to feed it and wash it without any trouble.
..
Yi-han was about to erupt.
This son of a
The horse had given him so much trouble, yet it became quiet the moment he was gone?
Maybe it was because he had been too harsh on the horse, and it became grateful to Yonaire.
But still
It better be prepared now that Im back.
Here, have some hot chocolate.
Yi-han received the cup of hot chocolate. Although his body was fine, he still felt fatigued, so the sweet chocolate came as a great delight to him.
Yi-han rummaged through his pocket, much to Yonaires confusion.
What are you searching for?
A silver coin.
I dont need it. Just drink
Yi-han stared at Yonaire, feeling deeply moved.
Yonaire, on the other hand, stared at him incredulously.
After getting himself back together, Yi-han let out a deep sigh.
So its the start of another week
Everyone in the room nodded, no longer as energetic as before.
The confidence that they had at the beginning of the second week was nowhere to be found.
What horrifying trials awaited them on the third week?
Did everyone complete their assignments?
Yeahif you can even call them that.
Theyre piles of garbage
Yi-han felt slightly apologetic after seeing everyone turn away.
Maybe I shouldnt have asked.
Since weve completed Professor Uregors assignment, all thats left is to obtain the White Tigers flag.
..
Everyones expression froze at the mention of the White Tigers flag.
Professor Skellys assignment from .
They still werent sure what the purpose of this class was, but they had an assignment to complete.
Has anyone tried?
They wont budge no matter what we say.
Damn it. I tried to bribe one of them using a piece of candy, but it failed at the last step! I was almost there as well!
..
The Blue Dragons hadnt been idle while Yi-han was gone.
They put in a lot of effort trying to come up with a solution.
They tried sneaking in but were bounced off by the towers barrier. They attempted bribery, but failed due to interference from other students of the White Tigers. They also resorted to forgery and other methods, but they all ended in failure.
Gainando, who arrived late, raised his voice.
Cant we just negotiate and exchange flags?
What nonsense are you spouting!?
Have you forgotten the pain those bastards inflicted upon Wardanaz!?
?
Yi-han paused for a moment.
It wasnt that bad though?
Relax. Ive thought of a method.
!
Everyone quieted down to listen to Yi-han.
Gainando tried to guess what he was about to say.
You plan on exchanging, right? Theres no other way.
Nope. Well infiltrate their tower at night.
As expected of Wardanaz!
The Blue Dragons erupted in cheer upon hearing his words.
