Surviving As A Mage In A Magic Academy [EN]: Chapter 1174

Catton nodded, lost in thought. Ahrak’s descendant stared hard at Catton.

“People make mistakes, right? Wizards make even more.”

“?”

“??”

Lee Han and Catton looked at each other, confused.

They thought, even if they lived a very long time, they wouldn’t make such a silly mistake.

“You young wizards haven’t tasted the bitter side of magic yet! You’ll understand later.”

“Ah, yes. I’ll talk to you again then.”

Lee Han tried to wave Ahrak’s descendant away.

He was busy and didn’t have time for annoying dark wizards.

Ahrak’s descendant didn’t leave, grumbling.

“Think about it! Do you really want to be slaves in that Einrogard Dark Magic Faction? Chores, that’s all you’ll do! Looking after useless old wizards! You’re a senior, right? Don’t you feel bad for your junior?”

“Hmm.”

“…Senior, you’re not listening to him, are you?”

Lee Han tried to wave Ahrak’s descendant away, but he stopped, surprised by Catton’s reaction.

The person who warned about power was now swayed by those words?

“Ah, Junior, I don’t think we should join Ahrak’s descendant. But…”

“But?”

“The complaints about the Einrogard Dark Magic Faction seem true…”

“……”

As a fifth-year, Catton had heard many stories about the Einrogard Dark Magic Faction from Dirette and Yukbeltire.

Dirette complained, and Yukbeltire just criticized, but they were saying almost the same thing.

In the end, it was always the same: The Einrogard Dark Magic Faction was difficult and poor.

Ahrak’s descendant grinned. ‘Finally,’ he thought, ‘one of these young wizards is using his head.’

“Yes! Finally, someone makes sense. A talented wizard should find a place to grow, not do chores in a dusty old faction!”

“I’m not going to a place that cheats on tests.”

“If you join Ahrak’s descendants, you can do anything. No one will stop you. You’ll walk your own path!”

“I’m walking my own path now. Senior, I appreciate it, but you’re also doing magic that others don’t like.”

“!”

Catton was shocked.

That was true.

“It’s not about how hard the path is, but if I want to walk it.”

“…That’s right, Junior. I’m ashamed. You really want to be in the Einrogard Dark Magic Faction.”

Lee Han stopped talking for a moment.

Catton and Ahrak’s descendant watched him closely.

Had he hesitated?

“Yes… that’s right. Well.”

“Don’t lie! You hesitated!”

“No, I didn’t. If you keep bothering me, I’ll make Senior Catton do it. Leave while I’m being nice.”

Lee Han was annoyed by the senior wizard who kept telling the truth, so he tried to chase him away.

Whispering the truth so sneakily. Lee Han thought he was a very nasty person.

Knock knock knock-

“See? The professor came while you were doing this.”

“Hmph.”

Lee Han glared at Ahrak’s descendant and opened the door.

It was Professor Taswhan from Kalarogard. The professor smiled kindly and held up a stone tablet.

I’m sorry. I breathed in toxic fumes, so I can’t speak.

“……”

“……”

“What a useless person.”

As soon as Ahrak’s descendant said that, Catton punched the professor in the face.

The undead from the Oondorgu Legion screamed in pain.

“Grrrr(That’s too much)!”

The wizard from the Obsidian Tower looked at the two senior dark wizards, confused.

Why were their noses bleeding?

“It’s a long story.”

“Grrr(The early dark wizard gets the freshly buried corpse).”

“Were you attacked?”

“…I fell. The castle corridor was bumpy.”

“Grrr(I fell with him).”

The Obsidian Tower wizard ignored their weak excuses.

He didn’t care about them anyway.

“Lee Han of the Wodanaz family, I bring a proposal from the Obsidian Tower. Please think about it.”

The dark wizard politely gave Lee Han the proposal. Lee Han looked behind the open door.

“Is there… anything else?”

“?”

“You can be honest. You know… that thing.”

“???”

The Obsidian Tower wizard was confused.

‘Is he talking about bribes?’

The wizard thought the proposal would already have good things for Lee Han, so why ask for more?

But if Lee Han wanted it, now was the time to agree. The dark wizard cleared his throat.

“If you say so, I’ll say it. The Obsidian Tower this time…”

“I’m late, sorry everyone.”

Professor Taswhan came in, panting.

He was late because he was comforting students who felt bad after being compared to other schools.

Seeing that, Ahrak’s descendant and the legion of Oondorgu shouted.

“Aha! I knew it! You cunning little rascal. Playing a double game with that innocent face?”

“Grrr(I knew it)!”

“…Yes?”

“What are you talking about?”

Professor Taswhan and the Obsidian Tower wizard were confused.

Could they be going mad? Wizards sometimes did after a long time.

“Enough! I’ll show you!”

O spirit, return his soul to its original state!

Ahrak’s descendant used powerful dark magic.

A spirit, well-trained, flew out of his sleeve and looked for any sign that Professor Taswhan’s soul had been changed.

Then, it circled Professor Taswhan and returned to its owner.

“……”

“Grrr(Are you an idiot)?”

“Ah, no. That’s strange?

O spirit, return his soul to its original state!

The spirit whimpered, as if protesting.

There were no traces of a changed soul.

“……”

“……”

“He seems like the real Professor Taswhan.”

Lee Han said, and the two latecomers asked, surprised.

“Then is there a fake one?”

“…Wodanaz, have you seen a fake one?”

If there was a fake, the person who did it…

“Alright, let’s get back to the point. Dark wizards should talk with magic, but there’s too much talking.”

Ahrak’s descendant suddenly became serious. Even his undead friend was impressed.

‘It’s not easy to be that disgusting.’

“…Yes. Good point. Since everyone is here, I’ve decided.”

Lee Han decided to get to the point instead of arguing.

Talking to shameless wizards was pointless.

‘Could it be us?’

‘It might be us.’

‘Of course it’s our proposal.’

The dark wizards looked hopeful, but Lee Han said calmly.

“Except for the professor, the others should contact the Einrogard Dark Magic Faction and make a proposal.”

“……”

“……”

The dark wizards were silent.

“Why, why would you do that?!”

“Because I belong to the Einrogard Dark Magic Faction.”

“So why would you do that?!”

‘Can’t he hear me?’

Leaving Ahrak’s descendant, who didn’t believe him, the Obsidian Tower wizard thought.

Sending a proposal wasn’t bad.

The Wodanaz wizard wouldn’t get all the rewards, but that was his choice.

The Obsidian Tower didn’t need to worry.

The problem was…

“I’m worried Professor Mortuum will be angry.”

“Grrr(If he finds out you didn’t invite him, he’ll block the letters for years).”

The head of the faction was a dark wizard who had been disliked recently, which made it worse.

Would he just burn the letters?

“Oh, don’t propose to Professor Mortuum, propose to Senior Dirette.”

“Is that okay?”

“Grrr(That’s a relief)!”

The dark wizards were happy.

Dirette was easier to talk to.

Even Ahrak’s descendant was convinced.

“Well… if it’s that young friend.”

Catton whispered to Lee Han.

“Did Professor Mortuum attack them?”

“Probably not… maybe theft or fraud.”

“……”

He might have committed theft or fraud??

Even though they agreed, the dark wizards didn’t leave.

Ahrak’s descendant, looking disappointed, saw Lee Han looking at blueprints.

“What’s this?”

“I’m fixing the castle this time.”

“You’re doing the Northern anomaly and this? The family head is using you too much.”

Lee Han didn’t say that he wasn’t doing the anomaly.

He didn’t want to hurt the dark wizards more.

They already hated Professor Mortuum, no need to hate Lee Han too.

“But this magic is old.”

“It’s an old job. They couldn’t use high-level wizards, so it’s normal.”

“Those nobles should save money from parties and use it on wizards.”

Ahrak’s descendant looked at the blueprints and Lee Han’s notes.

He seemed to be strengthening the defense and adding surveillance.

“Isn’t this too much magic power?”

“That’s my style.”

“You young wizard, always talking back… What’s this? If you go through this side path, the surveillance stops.”

“Grrr(It’s terribly clumsy).”

Lee Han was surprised and said.

“I haven’t made that part yet.”

“People who aren’t skilled make excuses. Look, you don’t need so much magic here. I’ll teach you a great magic: Ahrak’s Eye. It’ll solve everything.”

“Grrr(That’s a good idea).”

The undead agreed.

To make it worse, he filled in the blanks.

“Grrrr(If you make the outer wall out of high-grade bones, it will work much better).”

“Your head is working well today? Let’s put a demon here. I have a good demon in a book.”

Professor Taswhan was surprised to see them planning everything.

Is that okay?

It’s Wodanaz’s job, but they’re doing it their way…

“That’s not okay, is it?”

Professor Taswhan said, and the Obsidian Tower wizard nodded.

“It’s too wasteful. Stop it. No one in the Empire will allow it.”

“What? Is this young wizard crazy?!”

“Grrr(Do you even know about magical architecture)?!”

The dark wizards argued and finished Lee Han’s job.

Both were skilled in magic, so their argument was intense.

Catton asked, surprised.

“Is it okay to leave them alone?”

“I never said I’d use it.”

Lee Han said coldly.

They used magic that only they knew, so why would Lee Han make it?

No matter how good it was, Lee Han wouldn’t do it.
