Episode 005
horsepower.
This power, which has many nicknames, such as mana, magical power, ‘chi’ in some eastern tribes, ether by scholars who like to show off, and divine power by stubborn priests, was the source of wizards.
The power to change the world!
Since each time you use magic, you have to draw out and consume the magic power within you, it was natural for young wizards without any skills to suffer from a lack of magic power.
But I tried up to the 7th time and it was still standing fine.
“What is the student’s name?”
“This is Lee Han.”
Professor Troll, Garcia laughed softly.
He liked the way he used his own name instead of his family name.
nobility. Among great nobles, there were rare people who did not mention their family name.
He is a person who fits well with ‘equality’, one of the school’s ideologies.
“Come here.”
“uh…”
Lee Han approached anxiously.
‘Should I have just stumbled?’
It was true that it was a bit strange that he was standing alone, unharmed, while everyone else was using magic power to stumble.
He wondered if he hadn’t used his magic properly.
“hmm. hmm. okay.”
As Garcia held Ihan’s wrist and nodded, Gainando, who was behind him, whispered to Yoner.
“hey. Don’t you need to save me?? “What if I swallow it like that?”
“…The professor will hear everything, so be quiet, idiot.”
“!?”
Garcia said, letting go of his wrist.
“After finishing, student Lee Han, please stay for a while.”
“ah. yes.”
* * *
After that, <Understanding Basic Magic> did not provide any special magic training.
Instead, Professor Garcia gave a stern sermon on the mindset of a wizard.
“When you use up all your magical power, you must unconditionally rest. Especially when your skills are still lacking! Don’t fret if you don’t have enough horsepower. As you train, the amount of magical energy will increase, and as you get the hang of it, the consumption of magical energy will decrease. There are always new students who are overly motivated and end up fainting while secretly practicing magic. If you are unlucky, you could get seriously injured, so you should never do that. And students. “I don’t swallow students.”
“Sin… I’m sorry.”
Gainando trembled and apologized.
“ruler. That’s all for today’s lecture. In addition to the required lectures, other optional lectures are being held here and there at the school, so go and listen to them and think about what you can learn. “If you’re not sure, you can come to my room and ask.”
“……”
“……”
The students exchanged glances.
-Can you go to the office of a half-blood troll professor and consult with him one-on-one?
-Are you crazy?
…It was the same exchange of glances.
“Wardanaz. be careful.”
“that’s right. “Trolls’ weaknesses are fire and acid.”
“Neither of you are here, right?”
“…Wodanaz. be careful.”
While listening to the cheers of other students, Lee Han stood in front of Professor Garcia.
“Actually, I heard about student Lee Han first.”
“??”
Lee Han paused at the unexpected words.
what?
“Would it be quicker if I told you I heard from the principal?”
“…!”
Lee Han’s face hardened when he told him that he had heard about it from Principal Crazy Rich.
Professor Garcia said with a smile.
“There’s nothing to worry about. “There are times when the principal seems like a crazy asshole, but he is fundamentally a good person.”
“…yes??”
Does that make sense?
However, Professor Garcia pretended not to hear and continued.
“At the beginning of every year, the principal goes through the new students and briefly speaks to the professors.”
The students didn’t know it, but Principal Rich had a very keen eye.
The new students entering this school are a variety of boys and girls who have just become adults in the empire.
To prevent accidents from happening, you need a keen eye.
-Be careful of that dwarf. From the looks of it, this guy is going to burn down his dorm room three times.
-under! That’s a demon hybrid. Professors who use holy magic, be careful. So that you don’t get hurt for no reason.
-That’s a pickpocket from the <White Crow> guild, right?? Professors, be careful. Surely no one would come to complain about being pickpocketed by a student? A guy like that will be thrown into a dungeon.
Of course, there were several professors who ignored the principal’s words.
Principal Rich had a keen eye, but…
He also had a crazy personality.
-That orc guy… I think he’s good at using a spear.
-You come from a famous swordsmanship family for generations, right?

-Shut up! Tell them to use the spear.
-……
The principal said this about Lee Han.
-That guy has the quality to be treated with great affection.
-…??
Great love.
It meant very foolish.
Of course, the professors weren’t stupid enough to take that statement literally.
Among the proverbs of the eastern part of the empire, there was a famous proverb.
-Great kindness is great wisdom.
The appearance of being very foolish has something in common with the appearance of being very wise.
It was an old adage that one should not be deceived by appearances but seek true wisdom.
So, this is what the principal meant.
-It’s hard to tell now, but you can see that he has the potential to succeed later.
The reactions of the professors present were divided in half.
‘Seeing you talk like that, I guess you have some talent’ or ‘Did you get a drink from someone from the Wardanaz family yesterday?’
And Professor Garcia now seemed to know what the principal meant.
‘That’s what I meant.’
“Uh… what did the principal say?”
Lee Han became slightly ominous.
Being favored by a professor had its pros and cons.
If you were favored, you could receive good grades and letters of recommendation. This is an advantage that cannot be ignored.
but…
If you receive a certain amount of favor, the following conversation will begin.
-guy. It’s a shame that your talent is wasted like this.
-thank you!
-okay. You should go to graduate school!
-yes? Never thought about it…
-Do you know how fierce the competition is if you go out and get a job now? If you go to graduate school and get a degree, you can get a job under better conditions, and more than anything, you can dig deeper into the field of study you like. How good is it?
-It seems like it is because you say that.
It would have been better if I met a professor with a good personality.
If you meet an evil mad professor, hell begins.
And Principal Rich…
‘He’s someone I never want to become friends with.’
Lee Han wanted to graduate with stable good grades and good contacts, but he did not want to become friends with the skeleton principal and go down a suspicious path of magic.
“ah. sorry. I can’t tell you exactly what the principal said… Instead, I’ll tell you about the student’s talent. “What the principal told us is similar to this.”
“!”
Lee Han’s eyes widened at Professor Troll’s words.
What a talent Lee Han has.
‘Was my talent… worthy of being said separately?’
While in the Wardanaz family, Lee Han had never heard anything about talent.
Of course, it was confirmed that he had magical abilities.
Because Lee Han’s father, the head of the Wodanaz family, also said this.
-How are my talents?
-hmm. Your magical talent is pretty good.
-thank you.
And that was it.
But now that he was suddenly talking about talent, I was a bit embarrassed.
‘Isn’t this a bad story?’
Lee Han began to seriously consider whether he should get investment from Yoner and open an alchemy workshop.
“This student has a lot of magical power.”
“…yes? Is that all?”
Lee Han was taken aback.
It’s not things like ‘I’m having trouble casting magic’ or ‘I won’t be able to use light attribute magic in the future because it doesn’t suit my constitution’, it’s just that I have a lot of magic power.
First of all, I’m glad it’s not a bad thing…
I wondered if there was a need to say this separately.
‘I knew that each person’s natural magical power was different, and that it could be overcome with training and tips, right? ‘Is it important enough to be mentioned separately?’
“Of course that’s not all.”
“Ah… I see.”
“This student’s magical power is truly enormous.”
“…???”
“Really, really, crazy, huge, very much?”
“oh.”
Only then did Lee Han understand why Professor Garcia had called him aside and spoke so seriously.
* * *
After hearing the detailed explanation, Lee Han thought.
‘Isn’t that a good thing?’
To use magic, you needed magical power.
If you run out of magic power, you must replace it by drawing in magic power from outside, collecting magic power separately through a magic circle, or using a magic stone containing magic power.
But if you had a lot of horsepower, there was no need for that.
A very useful talent for a wizard…
“It’s unfortunate.”
“???”
However, Professor Garcia was looking at Lee Han with pity and concern.
From those eyes, Lee Han realized that something was going wrong.
“Isn’t it good to have more horsepower?”
“Usually the more you have, the better. But there are really, really many, many students like this. “It’s easy to handle water in a glass bottle, but wouldn’t it be very difficult to control water in a huge ocean?”
After hearing Professor Garcia’s words, Lee Han’s expression hardened as he realized the seriousness of the situation.
So now…?
‘Magic difficulty is going up like crazy?’
Right now today, not a single student succeeded in learning the very simple magic called ‘luminescence’.
That’s why magic was such a difficult subject.
Draw out your magic power, focus it, bind it with your will…
All of this requires superhuman concentration.
However, when the amount of magical power became so enormous that it could not be controlled, the difficulty level, which was already high, increased further.
“ruler. Here, take this bracelet.”
A rugged and heavy iron bracelet.
Professor Garcia put bracelets on each of Lee Han’s wrists.
“It’s a bracelet that absorbs magical energy. “It will help.”
“!”
Still, Lee Han was touched by the fact that he immediately gave a solution by saying it was a magic school.
“As long as I wear this, it won’t be much of a problem!”
“yes? no. “Wouldn’t it be really hard to wear this?”
“……”
“It’s so much magical power that I can’t help it no matter what I do. “I do it because it’s better than not doing anything.”
Professor Garcia was a relatively kind and gentle man, but he was a wizard.
A wizard never talks back in these areas.
“…Do you have any other advice?”
“Hmm… I think it would be better if I used a lot of magic and drained my mana. This student can practice basic magic training on his own. “Because you will never have an accident due to lack of magical power.”
“…thank you.”
In a way, it was a privileged privilege, but Lee Han was not very happy.
* * *
‘ah. ‘Do I have to take classes that don’t use magic?’
Although it was called a magic school, it did not necessarily only have magic subjects.
Even if you only do alchemy right now, there is little use of magic.
After leaving the professor’s room, Lee Han’s mind became confused.
‘You need to plan your career well and manage your grades well from your freshman year so you don’t regret it when you graduate…’
“You came out alive!”
Gaynando and Yoner were waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
Gainando looked Lee Han up and down, as if he was genuinely worried.
“What are you looking at?”
“I’m just checking to see if there are any signs of the professor biting it.”
At Yoner’s words, Ihan looked at Guynando as if he were dumbfounded.
‘Well, it’s strange that you don’t suspect the professor when you see the skeleton principal.’
“What did you hear?”
Lee Han shrugged his shoulders when Yoner asked him a question as if he was curious.
“I heard you should practice your magic a lot.”
“dare…!”
Guynando was angry as if it were his own business.
How dare you ask the son of a great family to practice magic a lot.
How rude this is!
‘If you’re so angry after hearing that, aren’t you going to challenge the professor to a duel if you fail the test and have to retake it later, you bastard?’
“My job is done. I want to take elective courses before the next required course. Do you have any subjects in mind?”
“Of course I am alchemy.”
Gainando openly laughed at Yoner’s words.
“no way. “Alchemy is done by servants and slaves!”
“……”
Lee Han could see clearly.
Yoner’s fist clenched!
