Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy - Chapter 190

Chapter 190

Chapter 190

"Enchantment magic is really fascinating," remarked the beaver mixed-blood professor with a sense of amusement.

The students, still half-frozen from the cold, were slightly taken aback by his words. What was he implying?

"Now, the enchantment magic for countering coldness would be..."

"????"

"Professor? Is that all there is to know about enchantment magic?"

The students were further confused by Professor Beavle's approach to dive straight into the main topic. Other professors who had come to teach new magic usually started with an introduction about the type of magic, its usage in the empire, and its potential future...

But Professor Beavle skipped all that, heading straight to the core of the lesson. Was this really acceptable?

"Why? I've said everything," he retorted.

"But, what kind of magic is enchantment? How is it used in the empire, and how does it differ from other types of magic?"

A student from the White Tiger raised their hand and asked.

Professor Beavle kindly replied, "Find out for yourselves. Now, to counter the cold..."

...

The students were more interested in enchantment magic than expected, especially those from the White Tiger. Enchantment magic, whether used to enhance one's body or equipment, was highly useful for knights.

Even students from other towers showed great interest, given the practical utility of enchantment magic.

'This professor seems a bit out of his mind.'

'Well, it's not unusual for professors.'

'I can't just not learn it... I came here to study enchantment magic.'

-Yi-Han, Yi-Han.-

Professor Garcia sent a telepathic message to Yi-Han.

"?"

-Yi-Han, I need your help.-

'Oh no...'

Yi-Han was flustered. He was just a freshman!

'Really, shouldn't this be something a professor or a professor's disciple does?'

Yet, Yi-Han nodded in agreement. He couldn't help but notice the corner of the lectern recently demolished by Professor Garcia.

'Such a kind student.'

Unaware of Yi-Han's fear, Professor Garcia was merely touched by his willingness to help.

How did such a kind student end up at Einroguard?

'Hmm. This won't be easy.'

Yi-Han pondered upon receiving Professor Garcia's request. A good professor would have just needed to answer the questions properly.

And, of course, Professor Beavle Verduus was undeniably insane.

Yi-Han devised a strategy.

"Professor, can enchantment magic be cast the same way on living and non-living entities?"

"What? No! Of course not," Professor Beavle reacted as if Yi-Han's question was absurd.

"Why not?"

"Obviously, because..."

Professor Beavle began to ramble enthusiastically.

When casting enchantment magic on living beings, one must always consider the repercussions, limiting the types of enchantments that can be applied

"Indeed."

"Why would you ask such a thing? You should know."

"I'm sorry, Professor."

"Now, to prepare against the cold..."

"But, Professor. I've heard that one could starve to death if they only learn enchantment magic..."

"What!? No! You won't die!"

Professor Beavle vehemently denied, jumping in protest.

"Is that not the case?"

"Yes!"

Professor Garcia felt a thrill watching Professor Beavle vigorously defending his point.

He was truly a genius, seemingly born to become a disciple

...on second thought, this might not be good.

"Ah! You've just wasted my time unnecessarily!" Professor Beavle grumbled, though the students now looked more at ease.

Ah, so that's what enchantment magic is all about!

"Let's get into preparing against the cold. Originally, you weren't supposed to learn enchantment magic for cold resistance."

"Why not?" a student from the White Tiger inquired.

Professor Beavle responded as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Because you're stupid."

"..."

"You freshmen should start with paper-strengthening magic."

"???"

Yi-Han was perplexed by Professor Beavle's words in a different sense.

'Did she just almost say 'dog'?'

Yi-Han looked at Professor Garcia's benevolent face.

Helping the evil friends who tremble and spread rumors at the mere approach.

He really didn't want to, but...

"Yes. I will do that."

Yi-Han responded immediately.

Professor Garcia looked at him with eyes filled with gratitude, unaware that Yi-Han had briefly glanced at the professor's fist.

'Hmm. She smashed the lectern with that hand earlier.'

"Thank you so much, Yi-Han! I'll find a way to repay you."

"How could I expect anything in return for the kindness I've received from you, Professor."

"Yi-Han, you really are..."

Professor Garcia's eyes welled up with tears.

How did Einroguard manage to have such a kind-hearted student

"...Huh!"

"...Gasp!"

"Stop making noise every time you swing the staff."

Yi-Han looked at his friends from the White Tiger with annoyance.

They were now learning the rest of from Yi-Han.

Even after hearing Professor Garcia's explanations, fear didn't just vanish.

The students from the White Tiger flinched every time Yi-Han swung his staff.

"Look. The magic structure of is basically like this."

Yi-Han drew the direction of the mana flow on paper using a quill. A complex circuit of magic was outlined.

"Do you understand?"

"We understand. Wardanaz."

"These parts, these parts, and these parts are typically omitted in the visualization."

Keywords like 'cold,' 'resistance,' and 'enchantment' didn't require complex manipulation of mana every time; a mage's visualization often sufficed.

If every aspect had to be manipulated manually, the spell would become exponentially more complex.

"Exactly."

"It's important to keep repeating these parts to become familiar with them, right?"

"Yes."

"So, now repeat it."

"...What?"

"???"

"Repeat it."

"Um... isn't there any other trick to it?"

Still, the students of the White Tiger had hoped that Wardanaz, who came from a renowned family of mages, would share some ingenious secrets or techniques for finely controlling mana or solidifying their visualizations.

"There's no such thing. You improve by doing it."

"But if we keep repeating, our mana will deplete quickly."

"Ah."

"..."

The White Tiger students glared at Yi-Han.

"Hmm. Right. Repeating won't work then."

"Wardanaz. It would be helpful if you could share some tips on maneuvering mana. Doesn't the mana disperse or scatter when moving the staff in this process?"

"Did it? I didn't experience that."

"...Wardanaz. When you focus your mana in this part, doesn't it get tangled?"

"I don't think that happened to me..."

"..."

The White Tiger students glared at Yi-Han even more menacingly than before.

This is why geniuses are so frustrating!

"Wardanaz, didn't you encounter any obstacles while mastering this?"

"Of course, I did."

"Oh... What was it? Tell us."

The students looked at him with intense curiosity.

What could have possibly stumped Wardanaz?

"When I was moving the mana, I sometimes drew too much, causing the magic to amplify excessively."

"So, what happened then?"

"The magic was cast too powerfully."

"...How is that an obstacle?"
