Surviving As A Mage In A Magic Academy [EN]: Chapter 1115

Hwidor…! No, not yet! But it looks similar!

General Hwacheon saw the small water droplet and remembered a spell he had heard about in the Spirit Realm.

The mortal world might not last, but the things people leave behind can be surprisingly powerful. Amazing magic is one of those things.

A water droplet seems like the least destructive thing.

It’s just a weak element shaped into a round form, right?

But the real power of Hwidor comes from filling it with destructive ideas.

It’s just a water droplet, but it holds more power than the biggest mountain. It’s magic that doesn’t make sense!

The wizard was using magic that spirits liked. It wasn’t exactly ‘Hwidor’ magic, but it was very close. He copied it well.

Maybe if he keeps improving his ideas and makes them stronger, he can get even closer to the real spell.

Lee Han’s water orb flew in a smooth, shining curve, like a dancer twirling in the air.

It looked beautiful, but it was deadly. The fire creatures that General Hwacheon had made vanished like puffs of smoke in a strong wind, completely blown away by the water. General Hwacheon watched, his eyes widening in surprise.

‘To tear apart space itself!’

General Hwacheon smiled sadly, regretting his underestimation.

A strong spirit wouldn’t underestimate even a small pebble. Because even a pebble, if used in the right way, could kill a dragon.

And this was a spinning sphere of water. It wasn’t just spinning water. It was the *idea* of spinning, a magical spin that could mess with space and break it.

And the wizard wasn’t just attacking with space magic. He was also good at defending himself.

General Hwacheon looked at Lee Han’s coat.

He wondered why the fire creatures he summoned disappeared so easily. Then he realized that space was being controlled there too.

The coat was magic. It was like it existed in many places at once, making it impossible to touch. It split space to stop enemies from getting close.

A space wizard this good could beat anyone, even if they were slow. That coat was even better. It trapped enemies in a maze of space that never ended.

From the outside, it looked instant, but the fire creatures couldn’t break through the space in time and disappeared.

You couldn’t get something this powerful just by being a skilled wizard.

It was probably luck, made possible because spirits liked him.

As expected of someone loved by spirits! But General Hwacheon doesn’t give up easily! Let’s see how you do against someone hated by spirits and the stars…

General Hwacheon was stubborn and never gave up, just like everyone said.

Other spirits would have quit after taking so much damage, but he wouldn’t back down. General Hwacheon always attacked when he saw a mortal blessed with destiny.

But General Hwacheon was so interested in the wizard’s magic that he forgot about the other wizards around him.

This was a place full of wizards!

I’ll kill you all!!!!

Surprisingly, Jo Ulin attacked first, not the Master of Magic Tower or Professor Voladi.

The experienced wizards felt the situation and knew that Lee Han wasn’t in danger right away.

But Jo Ulin didn’t think that way.

She saw the crazy spirit attacking Lee Han, and her eyes rolled back in anger. She charged forward, ignoring the wall of fire.

Anyone else would have been burned badly, but Jo Ulin was protected by her dragon blood.

She only had a few burns and missing scales. It was amazing that she broke through the flames of a King-level spirit.

General Hwacheon was confused.

Have I become weaker, or have dragons become stronger…

Jo Ulin didn’t try to talk. She just crashed into him with all her strength.

General Hwacheon’s flames were hotter than anything she had felt before, but she didn’t care. She swiped with her claws and bit him. It was a wild and fierce attack.

His body was being damaged, but General Hwacheon was happy to see an angry dragon.

An angry dragon! It’s been so long since I’ve seen one!

Dragons didn’t show much emotion and didn’t get involved in things.

Unless demons were everywhere like in the old days, it was rare to see an angry dragon now that the world was peaceful.

But here he was, seeing one.

He wondered if her anger would turn her into an evil or demonic dragon.

What could be a better enemy than a dragon who had lost control because of wounds?

“Your Highness!”

Lee Han called out to Jo Ulin sharply.

It was a simple cry, but it was more than that. His voice was urgent and full of magic.

Jo Ulin’s eyes, which were red with anger, went back to normal. General Hwacheon scolded Lee Han with a disappointed look.

“Why are you doing that? It’s weak!”

It wasn’t just what General Hwacheon wanted. Even for a mortal, it was a dumb move.

Why would anyone make a dragon less powerful in this situation?

A smart person would have made her even angrier.

“…Ha. You want something stronger?”

Lee Han rarely got angry at beings from other dimensions.

Not because he didn’t feel anger, but because it didn’t help.

Like the Yaksha King. What was the point of getting angry when nothing would change?

But General Hwacheon made Lee Han angry.

General Hwacheon was happy to see Lee Han’s cold glare.

“Yes!”

“Good!”

Lee Han glared at his enemy and took out the Bracelet of Ten Thousand Demons.

As the bracelet released its power, the demons whispered, excited to escape to the outside world.

But the demons’ luck ended there.

The professors weren’t going to let their student use the Bracelet of Ten Thousand Demons in front of them.

Plop!

There was a burst of sound that normal people couldn’t hear. It was an attack that tore through space and hit General Hwacheon in the Spirit Realm.

Professor Voladi attacked without showing any emotion. General Hwacheon wanted to praise him, but he couldn’t.

The wizard had cut off his mind link first.

‘Why?’

General Hwacheon didn’t understand why he was attacking the most useless thing first.

Meanwhile, Master Eulrangdam of Magic Tower also took action. He waved his staff and a daylily bloomed above General Hwacheon.

General Hwacheon, who had been aggressive, suddenly became calm, like someone who had forgotten everything.

Eulrangdam gritted his teeth.

“If I can’t seal that spirit away forever today, I’m a fool who deserves to be tricked by His Excellency again!”

The wizards hadn’t really been hurt.

The Magic Tower wasn’t damaged, and Lee Han was fine.

But there was one big loss. It was the reputation of the Daylily Magic Tower.

How could someone break into the Magic Tower and cause trouble?

Quite… fierce…

General Hwacheon didn’t want to leave.

Where else would he find such strong enemies?

The wizard hadn’t even used the power of other spirits and stars yet.

He wanted to feel that power, like pulling out a beating heart.

It was getting dangerous, but General Hwacheon tried to draw power from his main body again.

He had taken a lot of damage, but he was stubborn.

Professor Voladi’s eyebrows moved slightly. He could feel that his enemy was about to do something desperate.

Eulrangdam felt it too. He saw General Hwacheon trying to push away the daylily flower and stay sane. It seemed like the stories about him were wrong.

The two wizards attacked harder. They wanted to hurt him quickly and force him to leave, rather than let him cause more trouble.

“How dare you!”

Professor Garcia appeared behind General Hwacheon.

He wasn’t as good at fighting as the other two, so he took time to prepare a useful spell.

It was hard to choose the right spell. He didn’t know many combat spells, and he had to pick the best one.

Still, Professor Garcia didn’t give up. A teacher couldn’t hide while his student was fighting.

Professor Garcia punched General Hwacheon, and the spells in his fist exploded. The spirit was already weak from Jo Ulin, Professor Voladi, and Eulrangdam’s attacks. He couldn’t take it anymore and was forced to leave.

The wizards watched and whispered in shock.

It looked like the spirit had been blown away with one punch.

Professor Garcia said, embarrassed.

“He was about to disappear before I even hit him!!”

But the wizards still whispered about it.

While the wizards cleaned up, Lee Han and Professor Garcia put medicine on Jo Ulin.

She only had a few missing scales, but he was still worried.

Jo Ulin was quiet and kept looking around.

The baby basilisk was worried.

-Are you hurt somewhere?

I’m not hurt…

-Usually, people who hide their injuries say that…

The baby basilisk stopped, unsure. Jo Ulin sighed.

Jo Ulin… will probably be banned from going out when she gets back…

-……

The baby basilisk was shocked.

What the…?? But Jo Ulin was serious.

She had begged Lee Han to let her come out, but she forgot not to transform and caused a big problem.

Maybe her sister was right.

‘Maybe Jo Ulin should have just stayed inside.’

“What are you talking about, Your Highness! You saved student Lee Han!”

“That’s right, Your Highness. You stood up for me, so how could I ban you from going out? Do I seem that heartless?”

A little… Ah, no. Jo Ulin trusted Lee Han!

Jo Ulin’s intuition had become very strong recently.

It didn’t seem like she was being punished.

Could it be?

Then Jo Ulin is innocent?!

“Of course, I’m grateful.”

Hooray!

Jo Ulin flapped her wings happily.

Like in the old stories, good deeds are always rewarded.

Lee Han felt uneasy.

…I hope this doesn’t cause problems later.

“Your Highness. Please don’t transform and fight in the future.”

Even if Lee Han is in danger?

“Yes.”

Even if Lee Han is really in danger?

“…Your Highness. Please write ‘I will not transform and fight without permission in the future’ 100 times. You can’t use magic to write it.”

Why, why?! You said I was innocent…!

While Jo Ulin was panicking, Lee Han felt a hot feeling on his hand.

He had felt it before when making a contract with a spirit.

But this wasn’t the feeling after a contract. It was the feeling of a spirit asking for a contract.

It was also new to Lee Han.

‘What is it?’

He wondered if the stories about him had spread in the Spirit Realm because of his fight with the evil spirit. He opened his mind to make contact.

Maybe spirits liked him now.

Ooh… Were they waiting for me?

……

Lee Han heard General Hwacheon’s voice and quickly closed his mind, cutting off contact with the Spirit Realm.
