Surviving As A Mage In A Magic Academy [EN]: Chapter 920

Lee Han frowned, feeling annoyed. “Oops,” he thought, “I shouldn’t be like this.” He quickly felt sorry.

He had decided to follow the example of the young Skeleton Headmaster, but he was already getting annoyed.

“Um. I’m sorry,” he said. “I’ve been having a lot of things on my mind lately, so I got angry for no reason. Here, I’ll give you some grapes.”

-Get lost!

At the hamster’s angry curse, Lee Han quickly threw grapes into the cage.

The hamster shrieked and ran to the corner.

Lee Han felt bad again. At the same time, he felt a little ashamed.

He had decided to be better, but he was already failing.

“Ugh. Is it impossible for me after all? To act like the young Headmaster…”

“Lee Han, are you alright?” Professor Garcia asked with concern.

She had gathered the light of the Scepter and carefully put it back in the storage box. The experience was like having a lot of information crammed into one’s head quickly.

Even the best wizard would be confused.

“I’m fine, Professor. And I learned a lot.”

“Really? What?”

“Seeing the real Headmaster, no, the young Headmaster…”

“Didn’t you just say the real Headmaster?”

“…I thought I should do more good deeds.”

Professor Garcia wondered about this.

She thought her student was already doing enough good deeds, based on Einrogaard student standards.

“No. There’s no need to stop him from thinking that way,” she decided.

There was no harm in doing more good deeds. If her student had this new understanding, she should support him.

“Lee Han, I’m proud of you. For even thinking that way.”

“Well. But as soon as I got here, I got angry at this hamster…”

“…That’s alright. That hamster will understand too.”

Throwing a few grapes at an evil hamster was something even the young Skeleton Headmaster would think was okay.

There was no need to be worried about such a thing.

“What about Young-rak?” Professor Voladi asked calmly.

Young-rak was the most important thing they wanted to achieve on this trip.

If they couldn’t change the mind of the mad doppelganger, they would have to find a completely new solution.

The situation could become very serious outside of Einrogaard.

“I’ve caught a clue,” Lee Han answered carefully.

He wasn’t completely sure yet, but he understood some things thanks to the young Skeleton Headmaster.

-Just as your disciple came down because he sincerely worried about me, sincerely worry about other people. Then you will soon understand.

The mad doppelganger had said something similar.

-Get used to this magic. You lowly thing, you must realize it yourself.

“Hmm. Now that I think about it, they’re not similar at all,” Lee Han thought.

The first was kind, but the second was just talking to himself.

Lee Han realized again how much the Skeleton Headmaster had changed as he got older.

How was he supposed to understand the second one?

In the end, to go beyond a certain level of magic, you have to understand the meaning inside it.

This was rare with simple magic. You only needed to understand the movement of magic power and the words of the spell. You didn’t need to think about what the wizard meant when he created the spell.

But with high-level magic, you couldn’t copy it perfectly just by following the steps.

The Small World was a good example. It was the same magic, but you couldn’t cast it without fully understanding the meaning the wizard put into it.

Lee Han thought that high-level magic had a structure that contained a small world, even if it was different.

It was a structure where the power couldn’t be fully used unless you understood the idea in the small world.

Lee Han didn’t need to learn this in his grade, but he had figured it out on his own.

“Young-rak is the same. I have to cast it with sincerity.”

Lee Han, very impressed by the young Skeleton Headmaster, was going to try casting Young-rak again with that feeling.

He wasn’t sure, but he couldn’t think of any other way right now.

“I’m not sure if it will succeed, but I want to try…”

“It’s done!”

“It’s done.”

Lee Han was speechless at the two professors talking as if it had already worked.

What are these people?

“Professor. Did you misunderstand me? I said there was no guarantee of success…”

“Yes, yes. I heard you, Lee Han. Let’s rest and leave as soon as you regain your strength. The Yacha King must be pushing himself too hard.”

Lee Han suddenly missed the young Skeleton Headmaster.

If he were here, he would have scolded them, “Listen to your disciple!”

What are they going to do if it fails?

The two professors, sure that everything would be fine, talked about what they wanted to do.

“Oh, right. I wrote down some of the young Headmaster’s magic during this visit. I wrote it down quickly, but I’m going to organize it later,” Professor Garcia said, taking out a crumpled wad of paper.

There were spells that the young Skeleton Headmaster had taught her and spells that she had seen and figured out.

It wasn’t a long trip, but it had inspired her as a wizard.

“Professor Voladi, did you write anything down?”

“I wrote some down too.”

“I knew you would.”

Professor Voladi took out a black leather journal. The two professors talked about which spells they liked.

Lee Han shook his head, thinking, “They’re really determined.”

He was thinking about how terrible the ancient times were and how to invite the young Skeleton Headmaster to Einrogaard.

The professors had only been back for a short time, but they were already talking about magic. He thought you had to be that good to become a professor at Einrogaard.

“Hmm. Then we should start by teaching Lee Han the time magic here.”

“I see. It seems hard to teach the young Headmaster’s magic right now.”

Lee Han’s eyes widened as the two professors tried to force him to learn the magic they had learned from the young Skeleton Headmaster.

What kind of bad thing was this?

If the young Headmaster were here, he would never have allowed this!

The Yacha King was surprised by the arrival of Lee Han and his group.

“Hmm. Osu’s disciple. I was wrong. I thought you would have failed,” he said.

Lee Han’s dark face showed that the preparation had been hard.

It was surprising, but it couldn’t be helped. The Yacha King gave his next advice.

“In this case, I have to destroy it with you. Evacuate the students and call the wizards. I’ll try to help, but be careful…”

“Wait, it didn’t fail! Your Highness,” Professor Garcia shouted, stopping the Yacha King.

The Yacha King asked, confused, “It didn’t fail?”

“Yes!”

“But why does Osu’s disciple look so tired?”

“My face is always like this,” Lee Han said with a sad look.

He understood how Professor Garcia and Professor Voladi felt.

Since Lee Han was also a disciple of the Skeleton Headmaster, it would be rude for them to keep the magic to themselves.

They had to share the magic with Lee Han quickly, thinking of the young Skeleton Headmaster’s kind heart.

Lee Han’s own opinion wasn’t important here.

Why does the amount of magic I have to learn increase because the professors learned magic?

It was a hard problem that he couldn’t understand.

“Hmm. I was mistaken. Then, Osu’s disciple, show me what you’ve prepared!” the Yacha King said.

Lee Han shook off his silly thoughts and stepped forward.

The people around him cheered for Lee Han.

“Lee Han can do it!”

-You must do it!

Lee Han kicked the hamster cage once. The hamster squeaked and cursed.

-Why are you only doing this to me?

“How can you kick a professor?”

-……

The hamster had to agree with the strange statement.

I guess so!

Focus. Forget the anger and remember the feeling I had then.

Lee Han forgot his anger at the hamster and his annoyance towards the professors and focused deeply.

Gonadalte’s Young-rak started from the young Skeleton Headmaster’s wish to take on the pain of others himself.

He had to understand that wish and be ready to help a little.

I don’t know how much I can help… but still, as much as I can…

Lee Han wondered if he could make such a small promise.

Shouldn’t he promise to give up everything when casting a spell?

But he couldn’t lie in front of the magic he was casting.

A little more than what he had done so far, to the best of his ability.

At that moment, Lee Han felt his vision expand.

He felt a vast sense of expansion, like when he understood a new world, and it shook his soul.

This is…!

The first thing the mad doppelganger saw was the Yacha King holding him.

“…What are you doing?”

“You’ve come to your senses, my friend,” the Yacha King said.

“Come to my senses? What…”

The mad doppelganger understood the situation by looking around the workshop and feeling the magic power.

“Did it reverse?”

“That’s right.”

“How did you stop it?”

“These wizards and your disciple stopped it.”

Professor Garcia waved awkwardly.

She was still awkward dealing with this cold doppelganger.

“I will thank you as a member of the royal family.”

“Ah, no. I just did what I had to do.”

“Wizard, be proud. Not just anyone can receive praise from the royal family.”

Can’t I make him kind like the young Headmaster?

Professor Garcia missed the young Skeleton Headmaster.

I already miss him after only being apart for a short time.

“Let go.”

“I will.”

The Yacha King let go. The mad doppelganger stopped the demigod army magic.

Professor Garcia asked carefully, “You’ve given up on conquering the continent, right?”

“Did the royal family say such a thing? I guess so. You don’t have to worry,” the mad doppelganger said with a smile that showed he didn’t care.

He thought conquering the continent was a mistake made by being impatient.

It would waste too many resources.

This method seemed too clumsy to him, who was trying to achieve his deepest wish through magic.

Professor Garcia sighed, feeling relieved. It seemed like he wasn’t going to conquer the continent.

“The royal family also has a question to ask.”

“Ah. Yes.”

“Why isn’t the royal family’s disciple here?”

The mad doppelganger tensed as Professor Garcia hesitated.

Was there some kind of mistake while casting Young-rak?

“…He went to take the remaining exam.”
