Episode 076
“Thank you for everyone’s welcome.”
Millay, a summoning magic professor, came inside, puzzled by the hot atmosphere of the classroom.
Anyone could tell that Professor Millais, who maintained an upright posture despite his old age, was a nobleman from a long-established imperial family.
An aristocrat from a great family is noticeable just by walking and talking.
‘The Blue Dragon Tower guys are a bit of an exception now.’
Of course, the students who were locked in the tower and starved were an exception. If a person, noble or otherwise, became a philanderer, he lost face.
Professor Millais slightly raised the monocle he was wearing over one eye. He seemed like a very strict perfectionist.
But Lee Han was not scared.
‘Anyone would be better than Professor Boladi.’
Professor Garcia began a brief explanation next to me.
“Like black magic, full-scale summoning magic is a field that is learned starting in the second year. However, calling Professor Millais like this today is a good opportunity to learn what summoning magic is, but at the same time…”
-■■■■■
Just in time, a summoned animal that escaped from the school grounds outside the classroom howled. The window trembled.
“…I thought it would be helpful to you considering the current school situation.”
“Professor Garcia…!”
“We only have professors!”
Some students took out handkerchiefs and wiped their tears.
Professor Millais watched the scene without any change in expression. And then he spoke in a hard voice.
“Professor Garcia. “May I begin?”
“yes. “Please start.”
“Here, a student interested in summoning magic?”
All students raised their hands. Lee Han also raised his hand. I didn’t know why Professor Mortum’s sad face flashed past me.
‘But summoning magic is a really good magic.’
Just as black magic is divided into various fields such as curses, elements, undead summons, and negative energy, summoning magic is not only a summoning magic, but it is a magic that includes numerous fields within it.
Summon spirits, summon demons, summon monsters, summon artifacts, summon magical objects, etc.
Since it is a magic that includes all kinds of things, from living things to inanimate objects (it even overlaps with black magic to some extent), its uses are endless.
In an old fairy tale, there was a story about a wizard who, after suffering all his life, made a contract with an excellent summon and lived happily (and lazily) for a long time.
Since it was a fairy tale, I couldn’t believe it all, but once summoning magic became successful, it was good to make a living.
“Thank you. However, there may be only one student here who is qualified to learn summoning magic.”
“……”
“……”
Professors originally had a knack for pouring cold water on students. Professor Millais also did the same. She said sternly.
“I won’t hide it. Summoning magic is a difficult magic. “It will be difficult for the student if he or she comes to class as a second year student without the ability to learn.”
‘That’s the professor.’
Lee Han was impressed.
If a student doesn’t have the ability to learn, you should stop him or wait and ask ‘Why can’t he learn? If you say, ‘Why can’t I learn even before I die?’, that’s not a professor, it’s a gangster.
“Summoning magic cannot be learned simply with knowledge of one area of magic. Summoning spirits requires a deep understanding of elemental science, summoning demons requires a deep understanding of demonology, and summoning monsters requires a deep understanding of monsterology. Even summoning relatively easy inanimate objects is not easy. So let me say it again. “If you are not confident, it would be better not to be interested in summoning magic.”
However, the students seemed even more intrigued.
How many people would back down because it is difficult at such a young age? Everyone looked more motivated.
No matter how easy it was, it was the exact opposite of the black magic that students were concerned about.
Professor Garcia whispered softly.
“They are all talented students. “Can you give me one chance?”
Professor Millais nodded.
Pot!
When he waved his wand, magic scrolls with strange shapes suddenly appeared in front of the students.
It was not a disposable scroll that could be activated by tearing it, but a fixed scroll with a magic circle engraved on the unfolded scroll.
“Everyone is probably listening to <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic>.”
“yes.”
When they heard the name of the lecture, the students’ expressions changed as if they had chewed a frog.
There were only a few students who could endure the torture of cruel numbers that were neither magic nor cultured.
‘Honestly, it’s easy enough.’
Lee Han swallowed the thought that if other friends had heard, they would have thrown stones.
“It’s too difficult!”
“Then the student has no chance of learning summoning magic.”
“……”
When Gainando was on the verge of being disqualified from the summoning spell if he uttered a single word, he kept his mouth shut.
“Everyone, please listen carefully to <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic>. “In summoning magic, the creation and calculation of a magic circle is essential.”
Lee Han read the magic circle.
Unlike Gai Nando, whose eyes were already wandering around with nowhere to go, Lee Han was able to figure out what kind of magic circle was drawn.
‘Right. Magical power like this…’
The magic circle was a kind of circuit.
The difference is that while electric current flows in an electric circuit, magical energy flows in a magic circle.
As any wizard who has personally used magic knows, casting magic is a truly difficult task.
This became even more true as the difficulty level of the magic increased.
First of all, the amount of magical power required has increased, and the structure of magic that must be composed of that magical energy has also become more complex.
Even in magic, at a certain level, it is not for nothing that people say, ‘This is not magic that humans can do.’
The thing that helped such wizards was the magic circle.

An auxiliary tool that relieves the wizard’s burden by circulating magical power in various forms, such as amplifying it in some areas, decreasing it in some areas, bypassing it in some areas, and blocking it in some areas.
Lee Han, who was calculating the magic power circulated along the magic circle and drawing it in his mind, suddenly saw the illusion of a quill pen.
‘…what?’
There were no coincidences in the world of magic.
Lee Han realized that the quill he had just seen was related to this magic circle.
“This magic circle is a summoning magic circle that summons quills.”
“A quill?”
“A quill…?”
The students were embarrassed.
When I heard that he was summoning a quill rather than a dagger, he looked like ‘Why bother?’
Lee Han shook his head.
‘They seem like ungrateful people.’
If Professor Millais cleans his desk, throws a devil summoning circle at him, and says, “If you don’t want to die, make the summoning successful,” will you take responsibility?
Fortunately, Professor Millais was different from Professor Boladi. The professor spoke in a stern voice that had not changed at all.
“It is a magic quill composed of magical energy. What students summon won’t last long, so just focus on summoning them for now.”
As soon as the professor finished speaking, the students waved their wands and activated a magic circle.
“Quill, come out!”
“Magic Quill. “Please come out!”
Along with the spell, magic circles burned and scrolls were torn in various places.
It is a magic circle created to withstand magical power, but it can be damaged and broken due to the wizard’s mistakes.
Of course, it was something that was expected, so Professor Millais waved his cane.
The broken magic circle disappeared and a new magic circle appeared.
About 30 minutes have passed.
Students began to appear everywhere, summoning something similar to a quill.
The Blue Dragon Tower had the most success, including Yoner, Aden’Art, and Asan, and the Black Turtle Tower and Phoenix Tower also attracted quite a few students.
The White Tiger Tower had the fewest numbers, but a few talented students still managed to summon something similar to a quill.
Seeing the students smiling, Professor Garcia smiled bitterly.
‘You shouldn’t like that.’
In fact, Professor Millay’s face stood like a hard sculpture without the slightest movement.
The difficulty of summoning magic lay in this very point.
‘Similar summons’ are tantamount to failure!
Elemental magic was close to success once it was done, even if there was a difference in size or shape, but summoning magic was the complete opposite.
If it isn’t perfect, it means nothing.
I couldn’t help it. As it is a study that grants will to summoned objects, if there is even a slight mistake, the summoned object could attack the wizard.
Luckily it’s a quill…
“Moon… This bastard, Moon Card, attacked me with a magic quill!!”
“Oh my gosh, Kainando! The quill moved as it wanted! “It’s just a quill!”
“It is an assassination of the royal family! It’s an assassination of the royal family! Lee Han, help me!”
“It’s just a quill! “What is the chance of dying from a quill!”
Of course, that quill alone was enough to cause an uproar.
* * *
Anrago of the Alpha family, a member of the White Tiger Tower, felt proud when he saw the smooth shape of the quill revealed.
I felt like I was falling behind in many magic skills due to my status, but summoning magic was a little different.
Maybe she was even better than Giselle.
“!”
Angago was very upset when he saw Lee Han sitting in front of him.
There was nothing in front of Lee Han other than a quill.
For the first time, Anrago called Ihan, thinking that he could break the arrogance of the evil archmage boy from the Wardanaz family.
“Wardanaz. Could it be that the summoning failed?”
“……”
“Wardanaz! Don’t ignore it! Look at my quill!”
Yoner, who was next to him, answered instead.
“You didn’t have a quill at home? “To show off with a quill?”
“Look at my quill here…”
bang!!!
A loud noise erupted. For a moment, Angago thought that Lee Han had used black magic and fell down in fear.
Magic quills began to form above Lee Han’s magic circle.
“……”
Lee Han looked at the fluttering quills with a nervous expression.
‘I failed.’
Angago was talking something behind the scenes, but Lee Han couldn’t hear him. He was so focused.
Completing a summoning spell by flowing magical energy into a magic circle that is easily destroyed.
For other students, it was just difficult, but for Lee Han, it was extremely difficult.
The moment you get out of control just a little bit, the waves of magic will tear the magic circle apart.
Because of this, Lee Han was giving up halfway when others were starting.
‘Summoning magic might not be for me.’
Perhaps Lee Han’s destiny was to become a battle wizard like Professor Boladi.
…But surprisingly, the magic circle was not damaged.
Lee Han himself was surprised.
‘Was I like this?’
Complete understanding of magic circles.
And the recently (forced) increased horsepower control.
When these two were combined, Lee Han succeeded in not destroying the magic circle.
It was an amazing result.
‘Oops. The task was a summons.’
Lee Han, who was thrilled that he could channel magical power without destroying the magic circle, continued to channel magical energy into the magic circle before coming to his senses.
The task was not to destroy the magic circle, but to summon a magic quill.
“Come out, quill.”
Lee Han muttered simply and waved his cane.
bang!!!
At that moment, there was a loud noise and a number of magic quills were created above the magic circle.
Professor Garcia, who was surprised by this unusual failure phenomenon he had never seen before, looked to the side.
It seemed like the first time I had seen Professor Millay’s eyebrows raised like that.
“Student Lee Han originally had a lot of magic power, so he failed like that…”
In response to Professor Garcia’s excuse, Professor Millay returned his expression to its original state and spoke calmly.
“That is not a failure. Professor Garcia.”
