Chapter 92

'Isn't that not okay?'

While Tijiling was pondering this, Professor Garcia kindly answered.

"As long as the magic is okay, it's fine. Everything can be recovered."

"Ah... Yes..."

Unaware that Tijiling had stealthily stepped back, Professor Garcia smiled innocently.

"It's really fortunate. Being struck by lightning is okay, but if the inner magic inside is harmed..."

"Yes..."

"Oh, Tijiling. It's okay to come closer. Everyone is safe."

"Is everyone okay?!"

Yi-Han dispelled his invisibility and rushed over in a panic.

The moment he cast the lightning magic, Ferkuntra's emotions were transmitted to Yi-Han.

Just as Yi-Han could read Ferkuntra's emotions, Ferkuntra could read Yi-Han's.

-We're doomed!-

It was a brief and simple emotion, but at the moment the lightning spell exploded, Yi-Han knew something was wrong.

This senile spirit Ferkuntra had cast the spell too powerfully, almost burning everything with his inability to control his strength!

Yi-Han did not consider that his own mana was overflowing.

After all, it was Ferkuntra who had settled in his arm and helped with the spell; it was surely Ferkuntra's fault, not anyone else's.

And it wasn't entirely wrong to think so.

Fortunately, Professor Garcia arrived late. Seeing her safely receive the students, Yi-Han felt relieved.

'Indeed, the only conscience...!'

Seeing Yi-Han rushing hurriedly, Professor Garcia smiled kindly.

So it was Yi-Han who had used such magic.

"Everyone is okay."

"That's a relief!"

"Although a bit electrocuted by the lightning."

"...?"

Yi-Han showed a similar reaction to Tijiling. Both students displayed the same startled reaction, but Professor Garcia remained unshaken.

A true educator must answer the same question repeatedly with the same response.

"Its okay as long as the inner mana is okay. It can be recovered."

"...Ah... Yes."

Like Tijiling had done earlier, Yi-Han stepped back a step. Tijiling, already a step back, nodded in agreement.

Welcome!

"G-g-gulp..."

"K-k-kerr..."

The students, who had been caught, looked disheveled, having their mana absorbed and then electrocuted.

Seeing several students from the White Tiger trembling from the lightning's effect on their muscles, Yi-Han sighed.

'Damn. Even if I save them, I'll get scolded.'

Yi-Han thought he would have scolded himself too.

-I saved you all.-

-T-thank you... Wait a minute. If you had the power to defeat the vine monster, why did you electrocute us too?-

-The famous spirit helping me was too dumb to control its power.-

-You expect us to believe that!?-

Yi-Han thought it would sound like nonsense to say he had the power to defeat the vine monster but couldn't control his strength.

"Come on. Let's all stand up."

Professor Garcia waved her staff, relaxing the students' tensed muscles and replenishing their lost mana.

Yi-Han, watching from behind, was amazed anew.

'Does Professor Garcia also know how to use healing magic?'

Considering the magic spells he had seen from Professor Garcia before, the variety of magic spells she used was indeed vast.

While most professors focused only on their area of expertise, Professor Garcia's range was surprisingly broad.

Why is that?

"Th-thank you, Professor Garcia."

"Thank you very much."

"Give your thanks to Yi-Han here. He bravely defeated the vine monster and saved you all."

"..."

The students from the White Tiger looked at Yi-Han with complex expressions.

Anglago, as the representative, spoke first.

"Thank you, Wardanaz."

The White Tiger students, true to their knighthood, nodded in acknowledgment of the apology and then swiftly departed.

Yi-Han was dumbfounded.

'Did they forget how the three of them tried to gang up on me?'

He wanted to point this out, but the satisfied White Tiger students had already walked away.

Still feeling wronged, Gainando cautiously asked.

"But was it really not intentional?"

"It wasn't intentional."

"Ugh...! I really thought it was deliberate...!"

It truly wasn't intentional.

Though it might have seemed so!

After the cleanup and aftermath were settled, Professor Garcia called for Yi-Han. Worry was evident in her expression.

Yi-Han could guess what was coming.

-Ferkuntra, you need to explain this.-

Without Ferkuntra's explanation, Yi-Han risked being labeled by Professor Garcia as a 'madman who recklessly wields magic without regard for his own safety' a dangerously wrong impression.

-After all, this is your fault.-

-Alright. I understand.-

Ferkuntra felt just as wronged as Gainando but accepted the responsibility.

It wasn't without fault, after all.

As long as Ferkuntra resided in Yi-Han's arm, it should have ensured that the mana was under control until the end.

But...

-...Wait.-

-?-

-Time's... up-

Yi-Han felt the fragment of Ferkuntra, which resided in his arm, fading away.

Not just that, Ferkuntra itself was returning to its original place in the punishment room.

Yi-Han was horrified.

-Tell me it's not so.-

-...I'm really sorry. It wasn't intentional.-

-Tell me it's not so! Quickly!-

-The next time I'm summoned, I'll really show my true abilities-

-You're saying I should summon you again after this disaster!-

Despite being scolded by a novice magician, Ferkuntra had no rebuttal.

There was simply no excuse for this situation!

-Really sorry, but next time-

Poof!

Ferkuntra disappeared.

Professor Garcia, with a mix of concern and sternness in her eyes, addressed Yi-Han.

"Yi-Han. I couldn't speak earlier due to the commotion, but I think I need to say this. Lightning magic, like fire magic, is a violent and dangerous elemental magic that's hard to control. It's truly remarkable and astonishing that you've learned it on your own, but I'm really worried about you as a student."

"Professor. There's actually a deep story behind this."

Yi-Han detailed the story of Ferkuntra, carefully omitting and adapting parts like raiding Professor Uregor's botanical garden!

But even as he spoke, Yi-Han was worried.

'Will he really believe such an absurd tale?'

"What a stroke of misfortune!"

'He believes it?!'

Surprisingly, Professor Garcia believed him. She truly was a genuine professor.

"I see. After all, I didn't think Yi-Han, who is not a reckless person, would recklessly commit such a reckless act."

'It's sufficiently understood without emphasizing so much...'

"That spirit is a bit..."

"Incompetent and doubtful in ability?"

"No? No. A spirit of that caliber can't be without ability. Probably, the mistakes occurred because Yi-Han is such a unique contractor."

"..."

Yi-Han, who respected Professor Garcia, found it hard to respect these words.

'Too overly kind.'

"Of course, there are malevolent spirits that seek to lead their contractors to ruin, but from what I've heard, this spirit doesn't seem to be one of those. From now on, be careful and, above all, think of your own safety when using magic."

"I understand."

"Was it lightning magic that you used?"

At the familiar voice, both Yi-Han and Professor Garcia turned their heads simultaneously.

Professor Boladi was looking their way, his usually impassive eyes faintly curious.
