Noticing the strange atmosphere, Lee Han made excuses without knowing it.
“The most effective way to increase the control of an element and… to increase its ability to transform and enchant an element by directly experiencing it…”
“…but that’s an overly violent method, isn’t it?”
The priest next to him said the bishop was embarrassed.
“Maybe he was joking. All the students are mean, aren’t they?”
“Aha. joke…”
‘It wasn’t.’
Lee Han wasn’t joking, but he thought it would only make the atmosphere more awkward, so he kept his mouth shut.
“In the Order, you first learn to control the flames through meditation and prayer.”
Ian was surprised.
‘Is that all?’
And he was surprised again.
This time it was to himself.
‘…I’ve become a strange person because of Professor Voladi.’
Come to think of it, controlling the flames through meditation and prayer was a decent enough method.
Much more than risking your life to avoid the element of fire, especially!
* * * *
The meditation of the Afha Church was not complicated or difficult.
He sits cross-legged, closes his eyes, and imagines the flames within himself.
If he succeeded in imagining the flame, the next thing was Yuji.
If it has been maintained for a certain period of time, a complex application is now unfolded in the image using flames.
It looked pretty easy, but when you actually do it, it’s never easy. Meditation was a failure the moment you lost your concentration or interrupted your thoughts on the way.
‘There’s something in line with magic training.’
Lee Han thought that the cult’s meditation had a lot in common with magic training.
Magic was a discipline that required a high degree of concentration and imagination.
Even if you cast a spell, swing a staff, and arrange your magic power properly, it was easy to fail without proper concentration.
“I’ll put a candle here.”
The bishop placed the candlestick and lit it.
“At first, just focus on this candle that doesn’t go out.”
“Yes.”
The candle of the Afha Church was extinguished at the same moment as the meditating priest lost his concentration.
It was a prop to help the young priest concentrate.
after an hour.
“…you don’t need to meditate anymore.”
“Yes?”
With his eyes closed, Lee Han stopped in his imagination, throwing a fireball at Professor Bolladi.
I’ve been immersed in meditation for a long time, but why did I dry it?
“It is enough not to blow out a candle for an hour.”
For Lee Han, who had passed the rigorous training of Professor Voladi with his innate talent, such a meditation was now just a simple training that he could easily pass.
“indeed…”
Lee Han understood the bishop’s words and took off his coat again. The bishop was suddenly perplexed.
“There will be no fire. Lee Han.”
“I was just basking in the fire, and it was a little hot, so I took it off.”
“Aha.”
The priests of the Afha Church were stunned. Ian was a little embarrassed.
‘You think I’m weird. It is unfair.’
“By the way, is this enough for your aptitude for fire magic?”
Ian asked curiously.
He was confirming with his body that the element of water worked quite well, and he was also using the element of lightning well in his own way.
On the other hand, as the flame element has never been used so much, Lee Han himself did not have a sense of how well it fits.
How much is this?
“uh…”
“Well…”
The priests exchanged glances.
It was right that he was talented enough to be counted.All.
Priests of the normal denomination are constantly and periodically meditating to maintain the inner flame.
It should be said that he was born to do it easily without proper training.
Innately, the aptitude for flame elements is very high, and the image of flame is also very strong?
He was a born priest of the Church of Afha.
…but I couldn’t say that.
He had made an appointment with the principal.
‘If I tell the truth properly, Lee Han-nim of the Wodanaj family may want to become a priest of the Afha Church.’
‘I can’t.’
The headmaster of the magic school didn’t like losing his brilliant talent to the sect, and his priests respected it.
Of course, because of Lee Han’s personality, he would never want to become a priest of the Afha Church, but the priests did not know that.
“It’s mediocre.”
“Normal.”
“Really… that’s right.”
Ihan nodded his head.
‘You look normal.’
As the priests said they were normal, Lee Han did not doubt. He had no reason to lie.
And the mediocre was enough. As long as it doesn’t get in the way when learning other magic.
“ruler. Lee Han-sama of the Wodanaj family.”
The bishop put a ring on Lee Han’s finger. Lee Han was puzzled by the magical power he felt in his ring.
“This…?”
“It is a ring of fire absorption. This ring will protect Lee Han when you use fire magic.”
Originally, it was a ring used to defend against fire magic or to deal with fire attribute monsters.
Lee Han bowed his head in gratitude.
“thank you.”
“Do you know the fire spell? Give it a try.”
Lee Han swung his staff and chanted his spell.
“Burn up!”
Whoops!
Fist-sized flames blazed on the palm of his hand. Lee Han was pleased with the effect that was much better than expected.
“Awesome.”
“…Bring more rings.”
“?!”
Lee Han was taken aback by the bishop’s serious reaction.
didn’t it work?
‘I was just lucky…’
I looked down at his hand and saw that the ring was already cracked.
It seemed to be this much even though I had absorbed it as much as possible.
One ring is meaningless.
Click, click, click.
The ring was additionally filled. Lee Han asked the bishop carefully.
“Is this okay?”
When I put ten rings on ten fingers, Lee Han became a little worried.
If the ring is filled like this, wouldn’t the fire magic be cast at all?
“Definitely a little…”
“Are you overdoing it?”
“…it may not be enough. Bring your bracelet with you.”
“……”
Lee Han began to wonder if he was a freshman at a magic school or if he was the Empire’s worst flaming magic criminal.
It was not enough for the bishop to put ten rings on Lee Han’s hands, so he put on four of his bracelets and two necklaces.
As the Afha denomination dealt with fire magic a lot, these anti-fire magic artifacts were overflowing.
‘Well. It’s quite avant-garde fashion.’
Wizards don’t have much sense of fashion, but isn’t this a bit harsh?
* * * *
Although it looked a little strange, the method of the Afha Church was quite effective.
Lee Han started training in fire magic while carrying his artifacts.
＜Fire generation> Starting with magic, moving the generated embers.
And even magic like ＜Less Fire Resistance> and ＜Fire Evolution>.In fact, the priests were much more sincere in the latter.
Fortunately, everything turned out better than expected.
Lee Han wondered if it was because elemental magic was right for her, or if Professor Voladi’s teachings worked for fire magic as well.
And I hope it’s not the latter.
He didn’t want to be a real proof that Professor Voladi’s theory of education was correct.
“I’ll just stop here for today. You worked really hard.”
“no. thank you Can I practice on my own when I get back?”
“Of course not.”
“…..”
Beside him, the priest whispered earnestly.
“Wouldn’t it be better to bet a few more on Lee Han?”
Lee Han pretended not to hear and said.
“…But if you don’t practice alone, you won’t improve your skills.”
“Next week, the priests of the Order will be staying at the school. During the Spring Festival, the Emperor’s permission was obtained.”
“!”
Lee Han was more surprised by the bishop’s words than anything else.
Priests still at school after this weekend is over?
then…
Such good news?
As Lee Han’s face brightened, the priests were delighted.
As a freshman, he seemed to be delighted with the spring festival.
“Are you happy with the Spring Festival?”
“Yes? Ah… yes. What. I’m glad!”
Lee Han belatedly remembered the Spring Festival. He was so happy that the priests stayed at the school that he missed it.
“Do you even know the principal?”
“I’m going to tell you after today’s schedule is over.”
“If you go and tell me right now, the principal will be very pleased.”
“Is that so?”
There was nothing wrong with talking a few hours earlier. The bishop, puzzled, nodded his head.
* * * *
Priest Nigisor went out to see off Lee Han when it was time to return.
As he received various teachings as well as artifacts, Lee Han was very satisfied with the Afha Church.
“There were a lot of rumors about the Afha Church, but when I met you today, I found out that stupid people were spreading false rumors.”
Priest Nigisor smiled with a pleasant expression at Lee Han’s words. It was like seeing him smile for the first time.
“Of course. All the priests of Afha’s fire are kind and good. If they hadn’t accepted me, I wouldn’t be here like this.”
Even in the Empire, there were popular and non-popular races.
And the half-spirit spirit that was manifested by the blood of the spirits that had been sleeping in the ancestors seemed to be a bit reluctant to everyone.
Most of them are as*xual, and in the case of mixed blood spirits, it is difficult to do damage to the surroundings…
“exactly. All the priests of the Afha Church were kind. Those who spread rumors that the priests deliberately set fire to bring about the end must be burned.”
On the subject of which he himself had such doubts at first, Lee Han said brazenly.
Priest Nigisor also nodded his head.
“That’s right. Everyone has such a misunderstanding. No one thinks like that except me.”
“right. …Well?”
Lee Han, who was about to agree, stopped.
Something was strange.
“What did you just say?”
“What are you talking about?”
“That… sounds like the priest of Nigisor wants to set fire to it?”
“I don’t want to start a fire.”
“ah. right?”
“But the more fire magic you use, the faster Afha’s fire will come, I’m thinking. The priests said no… but whenever I meditate, the fire of Afha whispers to me…”“……”
Lee Han widened the distance without knowing it. Nigisor said without knowing Lee Han’s inner feelings.
“In that sense, I am very happy that Lee Han-nim of the Wodanaj family was born with such a strong flame in his soul. I look forward to many successes in the future.”
“……”
I received support from my opponent, but it was the first time I wasn’t this happy.
* * * *
“It’s very dry. There are only bones left.”
“no.”
“You are so dry! There are only bones left…”
“Not really.”
While Tigiling and the church priests were talking, Lee Han opened the tent door and entered.
“hello.”
“Lee Han of the Wodanaj family. What do you think?”
Lee Han looked at the priest and then Tigiling to understand what was going on.
Tigiling asked with her eyes.
Ask the priests to stop worrying about unnecessary things.
“It looks like it has dried out and has only bones left.”
“right? Bring something to eat.”
“……”
Tigiling looked at him as if it was funny, but Lee Han pretended not to see him and sat down and spread a napkin. If you want to live long in the magic school, you have to eat while you can.
