Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy - Chapter 398

Chapter 398

"...There's no way."

"Didn't you hesitate a bit just now?"

"It must be your imagination."

Yonaire tilted her head.

She was sure Yi-Han had hesitated, but?

"Priest Nigisor. By any chance..."

Yi-Han, who was trying to silence Nigisor, sighed when he saw the priest passionately shouting at the Blue Dragon Tower students.

Now that he was shouting like that, even if he silenced him, the other priests were bound to hear it.

"Do you understand???!"

The Blue Dragon Tower students, faced with Priest Nigisor's blazing eyes, were startled.

In fact, they still hadn't fully grasped the situation because they were busy eating bread.

"Do you understand what I'm saying!"

"It seems like... an outstanding flame magic..."

The princess hesitantly opened her mouth.

Although she didn't know the identity of that magic, judging from the unique change in the nature of the flames, she guessed it was a difficult and tricky secret magic among elemental magic that was hard to master.

It wasn't a magic that 1st years would learn, but it wouldn't be surprising if Wardanaz learned it.

"It's not flame magic, it's holy magic!! I'm saying it's holy magic!!"

Priest Nigisor stomped his feet and felt wronged. The princess shrunk a little even though she hadn't done anything wrong.

Asan asked, not understanding.

"But isn't holy magic something only priests can use?"

"Many people think that way. But even if they're not priests, sometimes there are people who awaken to holy magic. It's possible because they are very devout believers."

"Oh. But Wardanaz isn't particularly devout..."

Asan didn't think Yi-Han was particularly deep in faith.

When they lived together in the dormitory, he didn't diligently pray or show signs of faith.

Of course, he did periodically give meals to the Immortal Phoenix Tower priests, but that was the same for students from other towers...

"Ho, ho, ho, how can you say that...!"

Nigisor was literally foaming at the mouth with anger and trembling. Asan hurriedly shouted in surprise.

"No, no! Priest. Come to think of it, Wardanaz seems to have been devout! He gives meals to the priests every time!"

"??"

The princess, who was listening next to them, tilted her head.

"How is giving meals..."

"Everyone thinks that way!"

"Oh, oh! Of course!"

Only after the Blue Dragon Tower students nodded their heads did Priest Nigisor finally calm down. The princess didn't understand, but she couldn't help it because the topic had already passed.

"So... did everyone think about what to bring to the Paragranum Guild?"

"Paragranum Guild?"

"...What do you think we gathered for now?"

"Wasn't it to give us sna, snacks?"

Yi-Han ignored the Blue Dragon Tower student whose intelligence had dropped due to hunger and continued.

The reason he had gathered his friends like this was to overcome the tricky challenge of being recognized by the imperial alchemists.

If they put their wisdom together, it would be several times better than doing it alone.

"To satisfy them, ordinary potions won't do, right?"

"That's true."

Asan answered.

"The alchemists of the Paragranum Guild are always thirsty for new manufacturing methods."

"Oh. Asan. Have you met them before?"

"No. I haven't met them in person, but I remember when I was young, the alchemists there occupied a capital building and went wild, saying they would burn it down if they didn't support their research funds."

"...I, I see."

He ended up learning additional information about the other party that he didn't particularly want to know.

"For now, let's write down the potions we can make now, and also write down the potions we haven't made yet but are worth trying. Then let's discuss with each other."

At Yi-Han's words, his friends nodded.

"What I've made are , ..."

"I've made . I think I can make it."

"You said it didn't work last time, but you finally succeeded?"

"It's sufficiently possible."

Priest Nigisor spoke with a gaze that sparkled with firm trust.

If it were another friend, he would have been moved, but Yi-Han felt a bit uncomfortable.

It was because he also felt a suspicious expectation of 'If it's someone who can create flames with crazy firepower like you, you will definitely reach a higher level and be able to create flames that can burn the world'.

"Wa... Wa... Wardanaz's Yi-Han...!!!"

A vulgar scream was heard from the side.

"Priestess Siana?"

"It's... it's unbelievable, right? Tell me it's a lie. Did you really use the holy magic of the Aphar Order...???"

"It's true!"

'Oh, this insensitive bastard.'

Yi-Han wanted to hit the back of Priest Nigisor's head, who was shouting proudly.

Even when he should show a bit of an apologetic look!

"Priestess Siana. Just because I awakened to holy magic doesn't mean my faith in the Flameng Order will disappe..."

"Just once!"

"??"

"Give me just one more chance!"

Priestess Siana's reaction was different from what Yi-Han expected. The priestess was almost prostrating and ready to cling to his ankles.

"What chance?"

"Before you go back to the dormitory, just one more prayer...! You'll be able to awaken to holy magic! Really!"

'Is the priests' faith okay like this?'

To think that they would consider the holy magic close to a miracle as 'If we do a little more, it will work!' like the skull principal's education.

Next to them, Priest Nigisor spoke calmly.

"Holy magic doesn't work by rushing it like that..."

"Be quiet for a bit. Just once! If I miss this turn, I'll have to wait for a long time again!"

"I understand, so please calm down."

Yi-Han decided to pray before going in to appease Priestess Siana.

Priestess Siana looked around and kept watch as if worried that someone might come and interfere.

"The one who sees through the essence of things and brings about their change, as I send my faith like this today, give that believer a clue to change..."

Pop!

"?!"

Yi-Han was startled and raised his head.

The holy power he had emitted moved again like last time, turning into warp and weft and weaving each other.

This is...?!

"Ah, no!"

Priest Nigisor, who was watching leisurely, shouted in surprise.

This was clearly a sign of awakening to holy magic.

If there was such a sign, he should have saved it and made him awaken to the holy magic of the Aphar Order, but to give it to another order!

"What do you mean no! Be quiet and stay still!"

"Priestess Siana?"

Yi-Han was startled by the brutal conversation and threw a question, but the reaction that came back was even more intense.

"Concentrate!! Please concentrate!!!"

"Al, alright then."

Regardless of Priestess Siana's concern, the holy power safely turned into a miracle.

As the potion in the flask turned transparent, Priestess Siana clapped and jumped up and down.

"I knew it would work! I knew it! It was the moment of awakening, but it passed because the turn was over!"

"I don't think holy magic works like that...?"

As far as Yi-Han knew, holy magic wasn't like a gambler's fallacy.

It wasn't a structure where the probability of success gradually increased after failing several times, but a structure where faith and will had an influence...

But Priestess Siana didn't listen to Yi-Han's words. She was too excited.

"I'll go to the dormitory for a bit!"

"Wait! Priestess Siana! Wait a minute!"

Yi-Han hurriedly stopped her, thinking that if she went to the dormitory, a dozen other priests would rush out saying 'Aha! Now's the chance'.
