Surviving As A Mage In A Magic Academy [EN]: Chapter 575

Chapter 575

Parthenope didn’t listen to Lee Han’s reasons and moved the ferry.

She wanted to get away from that terrible singing as fast as she could.

As Lee Han walked down the underground passage, he noticed the area looked more and more familiar.

“This is…?”

“Mr. Gonadaltes?”

A big rock sticking out of the underground lake spoke in the distance. Lee Han smiled and answered.

“Hello, Mr. Bulgasari.”

Bulgasari recognized Lee Han.

“Oh. You’re that person from before…”

The monster looked like a giant, mossy rock. He waved happily. The rock shook, and small stones fell down like rain.

‘I should ask him not to wave next time.’

“What’s going on?”

“I’m bringing something in from outside.”

Lee Han told the giants, who were still around the corner, to wait.

The giants waited, confused.

“Bringing something from outside to such a dangerous place? Be careful.”

Bulgasari spoke in a slow, strong voice.

Students had freedom, but their magic often hurt them.

They could get hurt if they brought in something too dangerous.

“Can you keep this a secret from the others?”

Bulgasari chuckled at Lee Han’s request. His rocky body shook slowly.

“Of course. I grew here because a student secretly brought me in.”

Bulgasari moved his rocks, like he was saying ‘Trust me’.

Bulgasari would respect whatever the student brought in.

“Thank you.”

The siren pulling Lee Han’s ferry looked confused.

No matter how she looked at it, she thought Bulgasari would be surprised.

“And you’re getting help from a siren?”

“Yes.”

“How? Sirens don’t usually help other races.”

Bulgasari asked, curious.

“We are kind of friends.”

“Is that so?”

The siren, Parthenope, looked like she did when she heard the giants’ song.

She squeezed her eyes shut and covered her ears.

‘Doesn’t seem like they’re friends?’

Bulgasari thought so, but he didn’t want to ruin a special friendship.

“Impressive. Good luck. Take good care of it.”

‘I’m not raising it.’

Lee Han realized Bulgasari misunderstood.

Like the student who brought Bulgasari here long ago, people might think Lee Han was bringing in a dangerous creature.

Lee Han stopped trying to explain.

‘I should just move.’

He saw the giants waiting impatiently and felt he needed to move quickly.

“Thank you. Everyone, let’s move on!”

“Woo. We waited.”

“-It was hard. It was hard.”

The giants came from behind the corner and walked slowly.

Lee Han and the giants found the path Ikursha told them about.

It was the path to the main building’s underground warehouse, among the many paths of Spiderweb Lake.

Bulgasari watched them leave. He was surprised, which was unusual for him.

‘Is he raising a giant!?’

Einroguard students had secretly brought in all sorts of strange creatures, but a student trying to raise a giant was a first.

“What on earth…?!”

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

Lee Han spoke honestly as they reached the underground warehouse.

The giants deserved his thanks.

They walked a long way just to help Lee Han.

“I’m truly gratefu…”

“-We should hang the red one. The red one is warmer.”

“-No! The yellow one is better. The yellow one is warmer.”

The giants were busy talking about how to decorate the warehouse, not paying attention to Lee Han’s thanks.

The warehouse was huge, big enough for giants to wrestle. The giants looked around at all the space, excited to decorate it.

‘Well, it’s good they won’t be bored.’

Lee Han thought it was better for the giants not to be bored.

The giants had to stay here for a week. If they got bored and went outside, they might run into Professor Voladi, which would be dangerous.

‘If even one is caught, they’ll probably tell the location.’

Giants talk a lot. If someone asked them questions, they would probably tell everything.

Lee Han gave the giants one last warning.

“You must not go outside without permission. If you get caught, terrible things could happen.”

“-Working all day?”

“It could be even worse than that.”

“-Working all day for two days?? Ack!”

“Yes. Even up to three days…”

The giants were worried by Lee Han’s warning.

Giants knew wizards at Einroguard were strange and scary.

“Then, I’ll leave you to it.”

“-Understood. Trust us!”

Lee Han greeted the giants and opened the door to the warehouse.

Whoosh!

Lee Han stepped out and gasped. A thick, green mist filled the air. It smelled sharp and strange, like burnt sugar and poison. The mist swirled around, making it hard to see.

He could sense many kinds of magic mixed in the mist.

It wasn’t just one poison, but many mixed together. He couldn’t even guess how many different poisons there were.

‘What? What happened?’

At first, he thought a monster had appeared, but Lee Han remembered what Dirett had said.

“-Of course, I’ll try to persuade them with words first. But if persuasion doesn’t work, I might use a little poison. I’m not spreading poison to use on other people. If the rumor spreads that poison has been released, other people’s access will be stopped. Got it? I’m definitely not spreading poison to use on other people.”

‘…No, isn’t this a bit much?’

It seemed like he had sprayed poison not only in front of the hallway but in the entire nearby area.

Lee Han was surprised.

Was there a reason to go this far?

‘Hmm… well, Dirett wouldn’t do this on purpose. There must have been a reason. Maybe other people weren’t listening…’

Click!

He saw an undead disguised on the wall next to the hallway.

It was connected to the magic circle in front. It seemed like undead would pop out when someone stepped on it.

Also, there were curse-type magic circles in front of that…

“……”

No, was there really a reason to go this far?!?!

Lee Han used his magic to change his magic power. He used ‘Mystery of Absorption’ to stick to the wall.

He stuck to the wall and got out of the area without touching the floor. Then, he saw letters painted in red on the wall.

Death to the Black Magic Faction!!

“……”

Lee Han quietly erased the letters on the wall.

It was hard because the letters were magic. But he erased them by hitting them hard with his own magic.

“As expected of the Princess.”

“That’s right! Who else but the Princess could teach her classmates so well!”

“……”

Adenart looked completely tired, but her followers didn’t see it.

“Alright! Next! You should be honored! That the Princess is teaching you like this!”

“Hey… I’m a Prince too…”

Gainando held the questions and glared at the followers. He felt annoyed.

Sometimes, he thought Adenart’s followers really forgot he was a prince.

“And teaching is the duty of smart people! Like the haves giving to the have-nots! Do you think Lee Han makes a fuss every time he teaches us like this?”

“Well, that’s…”

“Hmm.”

The followers couldn’t argue with Gainando’s words.

Wodanaz (Lee Han) taught them even more, and never complained.

While the followers were frustrated, Adenart told Gainando to come closer.

“What? Why?”

“…Tell them to stop studying here for today.”

“Really!?”

Gainando looked happy.

He didn’t expect his half-sibling to say that.

“…Wait. No.”

Gainando was excited, but then he became gloomy again.

Adenart was also surprised.

She thought Gainando would be happy to stop studying.

“There’s still studying left to do. If I don’t finish it even after he comes back, Lee Han will really get angry.”

“……”

Adenart looked at Gainando with a look of disgust.

Did he study so little that Wodanaz would be angry?

He was no help at all.

‘This is hard.’

Adenart realized that answering other friends’ questions was hard.

The questions were very different because each person was studying in a different school and focusing on different things.

Just being good at school wasn’t enough to answer these questions.

“-So, why does the difference occur when using ox bones versus chicken bones in magic…”

“-Princess. I don’t know what the problem is with making the Potion of Patience. In the first attempt, I put in one spoonful of golden art, two pouches of Coldaran, and one handful of Seokhyang, and I did the same in the second attempt, but I don’t know why it didn’t work in the second attempt.”

“-Can I use the following simple magic circles when creating artifacts on the spot?”

“-Additionally, I want to summon a spirit…”

It was impressive that she had answered this much.

She also had some luck.

If it was something Adenart didn’t care about, she couldn’t have answered it.

“Wait. Are you telling me this because you want to rest?”

Gainando wondered if that was the case.

Adenart couldn’t answer because she was too proud.

“Hey. I think she wants to rest?”

“What are you talking about? Don’t say such silly things. She would have told us if she wanted to rest.”

“She could have told me. She might want to rest after teaching us this much, right?”

“The Princess doesn’t struggle with things like this at all.”

“That’s right. Who do you think she is, like you?”

“Oh, you guys are really!”

Gainando felt angry and swung his staff. The followers didn’t back down and grabbed Gainando, rolling around.

The students who were studying grabbed the collars of other students they didn’t like.

“You took the bread tree fruit I wanted last time!?”

“Finders keepers!”

“This is revenge for the last assignment!”

“You’re blaming someone else for your own stupidity!”

These friends weren’t good at studying. They were happy to stop studying for any reason.

They were throwing papers and spraying ink at each other when Lee Han returned.

Bang!

Everyone stopped and looked up when they heard the wall break. Even Gainando, who was about to pour ink on someone’s face, looked up.

Lee Han punched the wall and looked at his friends with a blank face.

“What are you doing?”

“Uh… that’s…”

“Don’t you want to study?”

The friends looked at each other.

They didn’t want to study, but they knew they couldn’t say that to Lee Han. Even Gainando understood that.

“…It’s not that…”

“That guy started it first…”

“No, he started it…”

“Everyone, sit down.”

The students quietly sat down.

“Gainando. How far did you get?”

“We… we’re almost done.”

“Tell me the reason for the difference when using ox bones and chicken bones.”

“Uh, well, that’s.”

The friends looked through their books, ready for any questions.

Lee Han clicked his tongue and sat down.

‘I told these guys to study.’

Tap-

Adenart whispered to Lee Han.

“…Really, thank you.”

“???”
