What can be done to stop a student from waking up to the new properties of magic and going down that path?
I just had to let them know that I could die the moment I went down that road.
Professor Bollardi swung his marbles like his madman. It wasn’t a joke, it was serious.
furthermore…
‘The weight of the beads has risen!’
From the sensations felt when the marbles collide, Lee Han realized that Professor Bollardi had increased his weight.
He felt it meant to condense the water ball further rather than obsess over crappy spins.
…but if he had just said it, Lee Han would have understood.
Fireworks erupted in the classroom where there was only the two of them. In the tense air different from before, only a plosive sound could be heard.
While they were silent, they stared at only their eyes and manipulated the magic sphere.
‘…Should I kill the professor?’
A thought popped up in Lee Han’s mind, which wasn’t the first time he had done it.
Of course, killing it was a joke, and it broke one or two places and made it painful.It was close to lifting.
It wasn’t an emotional decision.

Now Professor Vol Ladi was throwing his marbles with serious intent.
However, although Lee Han’s magical control increased rapidly in a short period of time, it was not at a level where he could win 1:1 with Professor Boladi, an old-timer.
How will Lee Han survive in this situation?
I had to kill the professor… if not, at least interfere with my proper concentration.
‘Can I?’
Lee Han concentrated his whole mind. New spells flowed out of his mouth, while keeping the beads of water condensed and twirling right before his eyes.
“Spring up!”
With the spell, new water began to take shape and appear in the air.
For a freshman with little experience in magic, such simultaneous magic was close to taboo, but it meant nothing to Lee Han.
He had already confirmed with his body time and time again that it wouldn’t be a problem just because he wasted some magic.
And now Professor Voladi in front of me was more dangerous to my life than wasting my magic.
“!”
Prof. Voladi’s unfeeling eyes lit up.
‘Are you planning to increase the number of marbles?’
It was a thought that a cornered freshman would do, but it wasn’t a good idea.
Increasing the number of marbles only made it difficult to control, but Professor Voladi was able to break through the gaps.
He liked to not stand still and act, but he went the wrong way…
“Shield, unfold!”
Lee Han exclaimed with a strong desire. In an instant, a huge mass of water changed into the shape of a solid shield and surrounded Lee Han.
At that sight, the corners of Professor Voladi’s lips rose slightly as if twisted.
＜Water Shield> was a 2nd circle magic that summoned water and fixed it in the form of a shield.
The magic itself wasn’t that difficult.
However, the boy from the Wodanaj family in front of him had never directly learned the ＜Water Shield> separately.
He thought for himself and realized the magic.
To summon water, use ＜Create Water> 1 circle magic.
And the way to move the water and shape it is to use ＜Level Control> 1 circle magic.
Even if someone tells you the spells and actions of the magic itself, they do not realize the magic, but it was a very good sign to deduce by themselves and develop the magic.
To become an excellent wizard, you had to learn to improve and create yourself, not just follow the magic written in the spell book.
‘It’s better than increasing the number of marbles, but the water shield is also not a good choice.’
Admiration is admiration, and Professor Boladi prepared to give the instruction to the student before his eyes.
The marbles with concentrated magical power rushed towards the shield with a bloody speed.
If you just pierce through a shield you made on the fly…
Kang!!
“!”
Professor Voladi’s eyes widened slightly.
The strength of the water shield was harder than the professor expected.
It was only then that Professor Voladi realized the identity of the water shield.
I felt the amount of magic several times more than a normal water shield.
It was strengthened by increasing the amount of water and compressing it by infusing it generously with magical power as it does not need to move as quickly as a marble.
The water ball requires control, but the water shield requires relatively less control, so the overwhelming amount of magical power is easier to see.
Before he could admire it, a water ball flew from the side to detour and smashed Professor Voladi’s head. The air has been converted.
Professor Bollardi tilted his head slightly to avoid it. There wasn’t even the slightest bit of embarrassment on his face.
“Go and bite me!”
Lee Han ordered the Bone Summon. The Bone Minions waiting on the belt rushed in.
At the same time, Lee Han kicked his chair under the water shield and blew it away.I could feel the tenacity to destroy Professor Voladi somehow.
At every attack, Professor Voladi smiled. Lee Han became anxious as if he had met the Demon Archduke of Hell.
An additional marble appeared behind Professor Voladi, who had previously dealt with only one marble.
The newly appeared marble smashed the bone summons (Kaegaeng!), smashed the flying chair as it was (Kwajik!), and shattered the water shield as it was.
Professor Voladi looked at Lee Han. Lee Han watched what the Demon Archduke of Hell said.
“Good job.”
“……”
Maybe it’s not the Demon Archduke of Hell, but the Demon King of Hell?
* * * *
Only after asking 17 questions did Lee Han understand what Professor Voladi was thinking.

No, I could guess. Professor Voladi’s thoughts will probably never be understood completely and forever.
‘ah. So…’
It was now a class dealing with water ball control, but Professor Voladi was basically a fan of students’ creative endeavors (if that worked), so it’d be nice if Lee Han summoned a water shield, kicked a chair, and sent a bone minion. you watched it
Hearing this, Lee Han wondered if Professor Voladi would do the same even if the classroom was set on fire.
I think the next time my life is threatened, I’ll set the classroom on fire…
‘no. In that case, the Skeleton Principal will kill me.’
Ian was sad.
“Thinking about rotation seems to have diminished.”
“Thanks to the professor.”
Lee Han had to try hard not to put the liveliness in his voice.
“It’s only natural that rotational properties feel attractive now. But don’t fret. The rotation attribute will be learned intensively someday. Sometimes the road back can be a shortcut.”
“……”
It would be impressive if another professor said it, but it wasn’t very impressive to hear that Professor Voladi, who was chasing after him with a knife every time, told him to take a shortcut.
‘Even now, it seems that we are already taking a short enough route.’
“Yes. I don’t even dream of rotating properties, I’ll just focus on what I’m learning now.”
“You are probably guessing.”
“…?”
Lee Han was not surprised as Professor Bollardi had omitted his words not once or twice.
‘Let’s read it calmly.’
“That’s the training I’ll try next.”
“…Excuse me, but what are you talking about?”
“What you just showed me.”
Once the control of one marble was usable, it was time to move on to the next one.
The wizard couldn’t stop even for a moment. It had to constantly evolve and explore.
Professor Voladi beckoned. Tables and chairs around them stood up at once. It was as if he was threatening Lee Han.
“From now on, you learn to focus in the chaotic situations around you.”
“…Wow.”
“You can use the ones you just showed you again.”
“Is that so?”
Ian was a little surprised.
If it was Professor Bollardi, he would have known that he would say, ‘To increase his skill, block it only with marbles’.
Will you give me a shield?
“okay. I will raise the level of difficulty accordingly, so you don’t get nervous and just focus on the task in front of you.”
“……”
If Lee Han could handle marbles while using other magic, he did not need to dry them.
It would be more beneficial to use other magic while controlling the marble at the same time.
“Just like giving up rotation, wouldn’t it be better to give up shields and pets to focus better?”
“no. Spin directly affects the control of the Water Orb, but not shields or pets. adapt earlyIt would be better.”
Lee Han thanked Principal Skeleton.
Didn’t he say that he burned a mud golem by creating a fire in the mountains?
He couldn’t even imagine what terrible things would have happened if he had even talked about flames.

dinner.
Professor Lightning Walk was worried when Lee Han, who was tending the garden behind the hut, looked particularly tired.
Tiredness was, of course, something that every student at this school had, but the Wodanaj boy was a much tougher boy compared to the other students.
But how tired are you?
“What are you doing these days to make you so tired?”
“Is that so? I’m fine.”
Lee Han dug up the potatoes and put them in the basket. Even as he tried to be calm, the fingers holding the potatoes twitched greedily.
“Tell me your schedule for the day.”
“It’s really good though.”
Lee Han explained the day’s schedule as if why.
First of all, I woke up early in the morning, went to the stable, and forced the horse to not listen to me, fed me, washed my body, brushed my teeth, and returned from a walk together.
After feeding the Blue Dragon Tower students generously, he takes the morning class, then comes back for lunch, prepares a meal, and then goes to the afternoon class…
“……”
“Why?”
“Oh, no. Continue. what class are you taking? Then I wonder.”
“Today, I listened to Professor Voladi’s ＜Repetitive Learning of Basic Magical Combat> lecture.”
“……”
Lightning Strike’s expression twitched in annoyance.
Even after listening to the lectures of a madman like Professor Voladi…?
“…Anyway, I came to listen to all the lectures and have been gardening like this.”
“You were truly born to be the representative of the Blue Dragon Tower.”
“?”
“done. So… you’ve had such a hard day, don’t you have any complaints about working in the garden?”
Ian was skeptical for a moment.
When professors usually say, ‘If you have any complaints, tell me,’ I had to start with suspicion. It was most likely a trap.
And apart from that, the garden work itself was not very dissatisfied.
“Isn’t there much?”
Lee Han said, holding a potato and a carrot in each of his hands. He was very satisfied with the pay he got from the garden.
The lightning stride suddenly made me feel a bit guilty.
…Is it okay for the best talent in the empire to be like this??
“That… yes. Oh yeah. Behind me there is a cow that I brought with me, and if you wish, you can milk it a little and take it with you whenever you need it.”
“professor…!”
Lee Han looked at Professor Lightning Walk with a respect he had never seen before. Professor Lightning Walk was absurd and was about to say something, but he resisted.
* * * *
While Lee Han was working in the garden, Professor Lightning Gaul kept asking if he was bored.
There was also talk of running away because of the fear of the spirits (even though there are tree spirits?), and thanks to the tree spirits, the crops in the garden grew better than expected, so it was said that they could grow more of them (don’t give them a thunderstorm and take them)…
After finishing work, Lee Han, who was washing his hands in the flowing stream water and wiping them off, suddenly thought of it and asked.
“professor. But can we get a flying mount from school?”
“…why, why are you asking that?”
Professor Lightning Walk’s voice was strangely split, but Lee Han didn’t notice.
