At Yi-Han's protest, Professor Millei pondered for a moment and accepted the objection.
"Alright. Give it a try."
"..."
Despite receiving the professor's permission, Yi-Han felt uneasy.
It was because Professor Millei was closely observing Yi-Han's every move without any change in expression.
As she was an upright and strict professor, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
'Didn't you not pressure other students like this when they were practicing?'
Complaining about the unfair treatment, Yi-Han unfolded the paper with the magic engraved on it.
While great mages who had reached the pinnacle could easily create summons on the spot without such aids, for most mages, preparation was a more important process than one might think.
Reagents, scrolls, artifacts, and so on.
belonged to the category of magic that required prior preparation.
If there was no scroll with a magic circle engraved, the mage had to fill in the structure of the summon one by one, so in a way, engraving this magic circle could be said to be the most important process in the magic.
Swish swish swish-
The quill elegantly raced across the paper. was a very famous magic in the empire, and its magic circle was also quite widely known, but reproducing it was the mage's ability.
If one could use magic just by tracing the magic circle, why would countless aspiring mages cry and hit the wall?
The magic circle of was by no means simple. Even Einroguard's students usually made mistakes several times.
'...The suffering from Professor Verduus is helping in this way?'
And Yi-Han was surprised.
Even he could see that the magic circle was too neatly done.
He didn't notice it because he drew it during the 1st semester and didn't draw it during the break...
When did his skills become like this?
Seeing that, Professor Millei slowly opened her mouth as if she had expected it.
"Let's add a voice."
Yi-Han started inserting letters with even more attention than before.
Modifying an already completed magic circle didn't end with simply adding lines and letters.
One had to understand the principles of the magic circle and anticipate the changes accordingly.
If forcibly modified, the paper bird might stab the mage himself instead of spitting out a voice.
'Engrave it here... I need to add more ink. Is the circuit running properly? A short circuit will occur here, so I'll remove this...'
While concentrating with all his heart, Yi-Han didn't even notice that he had completed it. Professor Millei spoke first.
"You've completed it."
"Ah. Yes. But we need to check if it works properly..."
"No need. It would be better to raise the difficulty."
Professor Millei turned around as if there was no need to say more.
At the same time as that action, the makeshift scroll Yi-Han made bloomed into a paper bird.
The bloomed paper bird rushed to the White Tiger Tower students and shouted loudly.
-Focus on the lecture!!!-
"Ahhh!"
"I, I was focusing!! What is it! What!"
The White Tiger Tower students, who were suddenly ambushed, were startled and looked around.
It was a perfect modification.
The Blue Dragon Tower friends next to him said to Yi-Han.
"It would be better to raise the difficulty."
"Raising the difficulty seems right, Wardanaz."
"...You guys won't have dinner."
"!??!"

Professor Mortum still seemed a bit embarrassed, as his face slightly reddened in embarrassment when Yi-Han came.
"Ahem. Did you control the golem well?"
"Yes. Professor. Is Senior Ogoldos alright?"
"He's fine... Normally, it's not you but Ogoldos who should be worried about you."
Although he was being worried about by a junior as a senior, Professor Mortum didn't blame Ogoldos.
It wasn't because he didn't want his already few disciples to become even fewer.
For a 1st year student who took all the magic of other schools, it was sufficiently excellent with the 1st~2nd circle bone element magic he could use, but for a mage who could summon skeleton warriors with ancient necromancy, it lacked a bit of flashiness.
"You should learn bone explosion magic."
Bone explosion magic, which ignited the gas inside the bones with mana to detonate it, was an essential process for dark mages who wanted to specialize in it, as it could satisfy firepower in the easiest way.
"Huh? Doesn't that start from at least the 3rd circle?"
"Right? Is there a problem?"
"...Nothing at all!"
When Professor Mortum asked back as if it was too natural, Yi-Han gave up on the question.
There was no point in asking such a madness-filled face, as he wouldn't get a useful answer.
"Ahem. Of course, it won't be easy. Do you know what you should be most mindful of when learning bone explosion magic?"
"Hmm. Isn't it the connection of mana?"
The farther the mage and the object were apart, the more difficult it became to directly apply mana to that object.
A mage who summoned and handled bone elements had to control the bones while shooting them far away, simultaneously casting magic on those bones.
To do that, one had to pay even more attention to the connection of mana...
"Wrong."
"Is that so?"
"What you should be mindful of is controlling the power of the explosion. Ahem. So that the explosion doesn't hurt you too."
"..."
Yi-Han was at a loss for words at the all-too-realistic advice.
No...
"I've set up a defensive magic circle here, so practice inside it. If the magic circle seems to break, call me right away. Ahem. Don't destroy the workshop because it's bothersome."
"Yes..."
—
Gainando, Raphael, and Ymirg wondered what the hell they were doing inside that loud booms kept erupting from a while ago.
"I hope Yi-Han isn't being tortured..."
"Hey. You stupid prince. Why would the professor torture Wardanaz?"
"You're the stupid one, you jerk. Then why does the principal attack us?"
"..."
"Ahem. Everyone, focus."
At the professor's words, everyone was startled and turned their gazes.
However, the loud booms coming from inside kept making them concerned.
"Ah. Professor."
Raphael cautiously raised his hand. Professor Mortum turned his gaze as if telling him to speak.
"I heard that the summoning mages are visiting this time. Is there anything we should do?"
It might be puzzling why dark mages were concerned about the summoning mages' festival, but their domains overlapped more than one might think.
Wasn't one of the domains of dark magic undead summoning?
Of course, there were also dark mages among those participating in the festival.
Given Professor Mortum's personality, he probably wouldn't want to show dark mages being pushed back in front of other summoning mages.
"Ahem. It's fine. Don't worry about it."
"Ah. Is that so?"
"Yes. Just enjoy it freely to your heart's content."
Raphael was slightly surprised.
He thought the professor would give detailed instructions related to the festival.
Gainando criticized him from the side.
"What do you take the professor for to say such a thing? There's so much magic to progress through, do you think he'll care about the festival too?"
Ymirg also nodded as if agreeing.
No matter how strong the professor's pride was, he wouldn't send his disciples to the summoning magic festival to prove...
"Ahem. Wardanaz will take care of the proof there. You guys can just play around."
"..."
"..."
For some reason, it felt like the loud booms coming from inside had stopped.
