Episode 170
Lee Han was wondering how to convey the message that this week is midterm exam period and that I am not only listening to your lectures.
“This week is midterm exam period. Can I go to the dungeon?”
“okay.”
“……”
Lee Han gave up.
‘That can’t be possible.’
Even if the magic school were destroyed tomorrow, it was clear that Professor Boladi would still be teaching his classes.
Would such a person provide convenience during the midterm exam period?
“yes. let’s go!”
“Don’t be overly happy. “It can lead to mistakes.”
“……”
Should I kill him?
* * *
Last time, Professor Boladi had a history of not being able to control the dungeon properly and causing a Nachal Angler to come to the area where the Angler ghost appeared.
And Lee Han knocked it down again.
At this point, it was difficult even for the imperial court to determine whether the teacher or the student was at fault.
Of course, Lee Han had a firm opinion.
‘Professor Boladi is crazy.’
“Aren’t you going to the Rachasalakwi area?”
When Professor Boladi stopped walking, Lee Han looked puzzled.
You’ll have to go down a little further to get to the place where the Nachal Angler appears…
Professor Boladi smiled very faintly at Lee Han’s question.
Lee Han got goosebumps.
“Like I said, don’t be too happy. “Emotional turmoil leads to magical mistakes.”
“……”
Lee Han sighed at the sight of Professor Boladi interpreting him as being excited because he wanted to see Rakshasagi just because he asked a question.
“I understand. “You probably want to go and practice as soon as possible.”
“no.”
“There is no need to be humble.”
“……”
“The reason it stopped here is because of illusion magic.”
“You mean illusion magic?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
Of course, Professor Boladi was a person who used whatever was necessary for magic combat, regardless of the field of magic he was particularly specialized in.
Still, why bother when there’s Professor Kirmin Ku?
“Originally, I was planning to teach how to deal with illusion magic later.”
Professor Boladi judged that a freshman like Lee Han would have little chance of dealing with illusion magic.
When it comes to magic combat, it would be enough to do other practical training first and then teach them how to deal with opponents.
That’s what I thought.
‘Isn’t that right?’
Lee Han also agreed to that.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong.”
“Wrong.”
“yes?”
“You dealt with Ogonin, right?”
“no…”
“If we think about the future, we will need a way to deal with illusion magic.”
‘I think you should study logic and statistics.’
Lee Han thought to himself.
Dealing with the Ogonin was close to an accident, not because Lee Han had any ambitions such as ‘I should chase down the imperial illusion magicians and defeat them’.
Either way, Professor Boladi raised his cane. Lee Han was nervous.
Fortunately, Professor Boladi did not attack Lee Han. He waved his staff and summoned a vision.
Self-imposed clones of Professor Boladi appeared.
‘It’s several times more terrible.’
“If illusion magic is broadly classified, it is divided into magic cast directly on the opponent and magic cast on the external environment.”
Illusion magic cast directly on the opponent was so difficult that it was classified as mental magic.
Properly applied mental magic was enough to control the opponent like a puppet…
In comparison, the illusion magic cast outside was relatively low in difficulty.
Since there was no need to attack the opponent’s mind directly, all you had to do was create an illusion.
But that doesn’t mean it’s absolutely useless. Depending on the situation and location, the latter may have been more useful.
‘So the wizard named Ogonin failed?’
Lee Han thought that if Ogonin heard him, he would grab the back of his neck and fall down.
I was so impressed by the fact that I tried several times to no avail.
“You have a high resistance to electrons due to your constitution.”
The magic power a wizard possesses itself creates resistance to external magic.
Of course, the resistance was not that great. If magic could be resisted simply by possessing magical powers, half of the Empire’s wizards would be unemployed.
However, if the amount of horsepower is unimaginably large, the story is different.

At that point, the resistance created could no longer be ignored.
‘Not bad.’
As much as I suffered from having a lot of horsepower, I was even happier about this advantage.
“To what extent is it defensible?”
“I don’t know that. Because counter-horsepower due to horsepower is very rare, many other variables also come into play. “You should find out for yourself.”
“All right.”
‘I hope the magician called Ogonin has decent skills.’
Lee Han thought to himself.
If Ogonin’s skills are good, wouldn’t he be able to defend against a significant number of mental magic attacks?
Of course, it seemed unlikely, but…
““But the illusions cast outside are different from the former.””
Professor Boladi’s clones spoke in unison. The sound rang out.
“As your anti-magic power is low, you need to learn how to distinguish it. “How can you tell them apart?”
Lee Han immediately created a water bead and threw it at one of the clones. Professor Boladi’s clone ducked his head and dodged.
‘what a waste.’
I wanted to hit the fantasies, but…
“Not bad. Fantasy is vulnerable to external attacks. However, in a combat situation, it is not possible to check them individually in that way. “You have to learn how to check with your senses.”
“You mean the senses?”
“Yes. “No matter how elaborate a fantasy is, it is bound to have differences from reality.”
Excellent observation skills.
It was an essential condition for dealing with fantasy magic.
‘It’s a kind of spot-the-difference.’
“Look for it.”
Professor Boladi’s clones lined up on both sides. Lee Han resisted the urge to throw water beads and concentrated.
“The alter ego on the far left is fake.”
“You got it right.”
One of the clones disappeared.
“The shoes were a different color. “You noticed it well.”
“…yes.”
Actually, I said it was a fake because Professor Boladi seemed a bit soft-looking, but…
“The alter ego on the far right is also fake.”
“Did you notice the color of the wand?”
“yes. of course.”
“Good job.”
In fact, I said it was fake because Professor Boladi’s eyes seemed kind, but this was also true anyway.
‘Maybe this is what it means to check with your senses.’
First of all, isn’t a feeling a feeling?
“Now I’m going to deal with Nakchalakwi. “Beware of illusions.”
Professor Boladi began to conjure up visions of Rachsalakwi.
It’s hard to just deal with Nachalakwi, but why bother increasing the difficulty by adding illusions to it?
Lee Han was impressed.
‘That’s why you explained how to deal with illusion magic.’
I really wanted to hit him.

When Lee Han returned to the common room after spending the morning with Rakshagwi in the dungeon, the Blue Dragon Tower students scattered throughout greeted Lee Han.
“So you should drink in moderation.”
Lee Han said coldly.
Even though it’s a school that doesn’t provide food, you eat whatever they give you the day before the exam.
There was nothing strange about everyone passing out with hangovers.
It was safe to say that all the Blue Dragon Tower students drank alcohol.
Starting with Guynando, who was groaning and holding his head, Yoner was sitting with a bloodshot face, drinking only water. Even the princess couldn’t raise her head properly, as if she had also drank her drink.
“Ugh…”
“Are you okay?”
“I thought it was suspicious…”
Yoner stood up with a pale face.
A good alchemist also likes alcohol.
The temptation was too strong to refuse the alcohol overflowing in the banquet hall.
“Everyone, wait. “I’ll cook you something.”
“thank you. Wardanaaz…”
“There is only you…”
‘Is this something to be thankful for with hangover soup?’
Thinking so, Lee Han lit the pot.
I peeled the potatoes I dug up from the garden and boiled them.
Then, I mashed it, mixed it with milk and cheese, and put it in a pot, and it started to boil.
They said they had brought in new supplies over the weekend, but it was no good wasting them. Potato soup was enough.
‘I guess I could add some mushrooms.’
Lee Han stirred the soup with a ladle, then scooped it up and handed a bowl to each of his friends.
“I have an alchemy lecture in an hour. Is everyone going to be okay?”
“Water… of course. There is a 90% chance of going. Wodanaz.”
“Me too… of course…”
‘It’s too much, you bastards.’
Looking at the situation, I was worried that I would not be able to properly attend other lectures.
How much alcohol would you like the skeleton principal to drink…
“The alchemy midterm is due by Friday, so don’t worry too much. “I will listen and come back and let you know.”
“No, Wardanaz. Together… ugh.”
“The world… spinning…”
“…It would be better to just stay still.”
* * *
“??”
Arriving at the alchemy lecture, Lee Han looked around without realizing it.
The number of students…
Isn’t it too little?
“It’s not that surprising.”
The thunderous professor spoke calmly.
They didn’t seem at all surprised that only a few of the many students showed up for the lecture.
“Does this happen every year?”
“It was a good fit.”
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
Well, given the personality of the skeleton principal, it wouldn’t be strange for him to do something like this before every midterm exam…
It was also truly absurd that new students suffered there every time.
“ruler. Let the guys who came out today tell the guys who couldn’t come out. Of course, you don’t have to tell me.”
The thunderous professor tapped the blackboard where the midterm exam assignments were written in detail.
<Vital Bone Regeneration Potion>
What you need – birch branches, dendrobium leaves, thistle flowers, snail flowers…
How to make – First, stir water with a birch tree branch, clockwise…
‘what. ‘Can you tell me everything?’
Lee Han was surprised.
Since he was given ample time, he naturally thought that he would be unreasonable in solving the problem.
They tell you to find the recipe on your own, or you tell them to find the ingredients you need, etc.
But you told me in such detail.
‘The birch tree is over there, I know where the dendrobium is, and the thistle… hmm?’
Lee Han, who was taking notes on the ingredients, suddenly felt something strange and stopped.
Nilia, who was next to me, also raised her hand.
“professor?”
“Why are you doing that?”
“As far as I know, I heard that Bonesnail Flower grows deep underground in the dungeon.”
“so?”
“Uh… yes? So, isn’t it difficult to find it in school?”
“What nonsense.”
Thunderwalk said with a satisfied smile.
“There are a lot of dungeons here at school, so just find them and go down.”
“ah…”
Lee Han was able to feel the emotion contained in the ‘Ah’ uttered by Nilia.
It would be like, ‘Oh, that’s really too much.’
“Can I go down to the basement of the dungeon and bring it back?”
“There is no need to go all the way to the basement of the dungeon. “If there is another way to get it, you can get it and bring it back.”
‘Is this why seniors are picking on professors?’
Lee Han seemed to know why seniors whose faces he did not know began to steal.
How can you not do this when the lecture is like this?
Nilia grumbled as if she found it hard to believe.
“When and how do I enter the dungeon? Even if you submit it by Friday, that’s true. “Other lectures are also exams.”
“yes.”
Lee Han was very empathetic.
Other lectures also have midterm exams, so what kind of dungeon is this?
“Finding a dungeon is also a problem. When you find a dungeon, you come out right away? I don’t even know where it is underground. Wardanaz, do you know of any dungeons?”
Even as she asked, Nilia did not think that Lee Han really knew.
Lee Han is also a freshman, so how would he know about something like a dungeon located underground?
I was just asking as if I was complaining.
“There is.”
“…?!?!”
Nilia looked at Lee Han as if she was dumbfounded.
How?
