Chapter 155

"Aha! Such a misunderstanding!"

Yi-Han, having heard the explanation from Professor Alpen, let out a short exclamation of surprise.

How could such a misunderstanding arise!

"Isn't it ironically amusing?"

"...Indeed it is!"

"But such a misunderstanding has enhanced the students' abilities. It's what you might call a happy mistake, right?"

Yi-Han, who had been focusing his facial muscles to maintain his composure, almost lost his grip on his sanity for a moment when the mage from Baldurguard made a comment.

'Did the opponent use mental magic?'

Otherwise, it was impossible to make such an infuriating remark.

"Hahaha!"

"Ahahaha!"

"...Haha. Haha."

Yi-Han laughed along, not wanting to disrupt the harmonious atmosphere.

A friend from behind asked with curiosity.

"So, we didn't actually have to complete everything but went through all that trouble?"

"Trouble? What do you mean? How can trials and errors in learning magic be considered suffering?"

Yi-Han spoke firmly to silence his friend.

Of course, it was indeed a tough ordeal, but they couldn't admit that in front of the professors.

The mages nodded in admiration.

"That's right."

"Truly commendable, Wardanaz. With such a mindset, it's no wonder you completed it so quickly. But that part you finished separately..."

Yi-Han quickly offered an excuse.

The same outcome can appear different depending on how one speaks.

"Thanks to the professor giving us the opportunity to solve it on our own, we managed to complete it temporarily."

The student's rhetoric skillfully covered the professor's mistake.

However, Professor Alpen wasn't someone who paid much attention to such things.

"Ah... that was a mistake on my part. My apologies."

"..."

"How was it?"

"Remarkable."

Having examined the magic circle, the mages stepped outside the classroom for a brief discussion.

Regardless of Yi-Han's feelings, Professor Alpen couldn't help but admire the work once again.

As it wasn't meant to be completed fully, there were empty parts in the latter half.

And yet, a freshman had solved it with his own wisdom.

Moreover, that sphere of light.

It seemed to be sustained by an enchantment spell, yet it maintained its form minutes after they had entered.

"It's been minutes, and it still maintains its form. The freshman must have spontaneously added magic to connect it to the existing magic circle."

"Truly astonishing."

"It's a pity, really. The Empire's bureaucracy could use such talent..."

At Kendry's words, Professor Alpen cast a stern glance.

"Just kidding. Just kidding. I know. Of course, we should let him devote himself to magic."Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"That's our responsibility and duty."

The two mages exchanged meaningful glances, whispering their resolve.

Let's ensure this young genius can devote himself to magic!

"It's not entirely a bad thing. The professor rated it quite highly, didn't he?"

"Right. Wardanaz."

"Yes. Even the guests from other places were extremely impressed, weren't they?"

Unlike Yi-Han, his friends recovered quickly from the shock.

Initially, they were surprised to have done something unnecessary, but the professor's praise and the admiration of the visiting guests felt much more gratifying.

The awe of the people at the completed magic.

Isn't this the true reward of being a mage?

"It's not entirely a bad thing. The professor rated it quite highly, didn't he?"

"???"

"Wardanaz? What's wrong? You agreed, didn't you?"

"It's not entirely a bad thing..."

"Wardanaz! Wardanaz! What's wrong! Are you okay!?"

His friends from the Tower of the Blue Dragon, concerned for Yi-Han, grasped and shook him.

It was then that Yi-Han finally regained his composure and steadied his heart.

"It's Azirmo!"

"To summon that...!"

Not only the Baldurguard students, but also the Einroguard students were mesmerized by Yi-Han chanting the spell.

Bang!

'Oh no. It's a failure.'

Indeed, the was difficult. It was a far cry from the simple , involving transforming and intricately twisting the form of light elements.

"Did he fail...?"

"Fool! If he had failed, he would have been hurt. That's just preparation."

"Really?"

'I did fail, though.'

Hearing the whispers of the Baldurguard students, Yi-Han quickly attempted again.

It was best for both parties to fix the situation before the professors arrived.

After six attempts, Yi-Han successfully enchanted Azirmo into the center of the magic circle.

Whoosh!

Though it bore a completely different appearance from the original statue, the students were rendered speechless by the beautiful and majestic form of the dragon.

The Baldurguard student who made the mistake came up to Yi-Han, tears welling in his eyes.

"I really... truly..."

"There's no need for words."

Yi-Han responded kindly.

Having decided to amicably resolve the situation, there was no need to insult the other party unnecessarily.

Of course, Yi-Han also felt a surge of anger when he heard tales of the Baldurguard students indulging in reckless pleasures on weekends.

But that was a separate matter.

Moreover, since he had his own original sin of creating trouble with water beads, it was better to be kind in this situation...

"Thank you so much."

"?"

"Senior. If we meet outside, please do visit our family's mansion!"

"...???!

Realizing he was being misunderstood, Yi-Han could not clear up the confusion.

The returning professors were surprised to see the changed magic circle.

The mage of Baldurguard, seeing the damaged magic circle and the students' expressions, understood what had happened.

-"I'm truly sorry!"-

-"No, don't be. If the students hadn't resolved it amicably, their efforts would be meaningless. Rather, thank you."-

-"Thank you."-

The mage of Baldurguard called Yi-Han aside to express his gratitude once more.

-"I've heard much about the Wardanaz family's reputation, but I sincerely thank you."-

-"It's nothing, Professor. However, it seems the Baldurguard students have a misunderstanding about me..."-

-"If there's a student who fears the Wardanaz family based solely on rumors, I'll make sure to firmly tell the nobles of the empire not to be swayed by such gossip."-

-"No, that's not what I meant..."-

-"Ah, I must be going. Once again, I express my gratitude for your generous response."-

-"..."-

"Do you think the Baldurguard folks are a bit annoying?"

Yi-Han's words were met with a vigorous nod from Asan, showing his strong agreement.

"They're incredibly irritating. They go out whenever they want, and they even destroyed the magic circle when they visited."

'Ah, is this why magic academies tend to dislike each other?'

Yi-Han regained his senses at Asan's intense reaction.

Before enrolling, he had thought, 'Why harbor such pointless competitive feelings?' But after suffering at Einroguard, he found himself irrationally annoyed by students from other magic academies.

This was a highly irrational behavior.

'Let's keep a clear head. I must not fall for the tricks of the skull principal.'

"Wardanaz! Did you hear!?"

"What?"

"Gainando found a pass for going out!!"

"!"

Yi-Han's eyes widened. Asan spoke urgently at his side.

"Wardanaz! Before someone else takes it, we should..."

"..."

"...Forget what I just said. It was a dishonorable remark. As a member of the Dargard family, I'm ashamed."

"No, I understand how you feel."
