Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy - Chapter 444

Chapter 444

Chapter 444

Just as the students were struggling to get through the stormy Einroguard, the professors were also having a hard time.

Of course, the professors themselves were not drifting away in the currents like the students.

A mage of a professor's level would not be affected by a flood of this level.

The problem was...

"..."

Professor Bungaegor looked down at the waves with a troubled face.

The sea had come in where there should have been a racetrack that the students had worked hard to create.

"Well... I'm sure the principal didn't do it on purpose either."

Professor Uregor spoke up, watching the expression of the elder of his family. Of course, Professor Uregor's words were not very comforting.

"Forget it, just think of a way. What about your cabin?"

"My cabin is a bit different..."

Professor Uregor answered hesitantly.

Unlike Professor Bungaegor, who had been an adventurer outside and then came here, Professor Uregor had been at Einroguard for a long time and was quite experienced.

Naturally, the cabins placed here and there to prepare for such natural disasters also had magic on them.

In case of a flood, instead of enduring the fierce power of water, the cabin, basement, and attached livestock pens were made to naturally flow away.

Then, later, when the flood was over, they could just find and move them.

In contrast, such a large racetrack was different from a cabin.

To prepare it now...

"We need to summon something to block the water, evaporate the water that has already entered, dry the damp ground, and maintain it continuously during this week's exam period."

"Can you do it?"

"..."

Professor Uregor looked at her as if asking what she was talking about.

To perform such large-scale magic, it was difficult with the magic of one person.

Not only the extreme mana consumption, but also all kinds of rare reagents and complicated techniques...

It was impossible to do such a thing just to take one exam.Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

"I also have to take the exam..."

"Sigh. I see. We'll have to change the exam. After preparing so hard."

"Use it for the final exam."

"Then what about what we prepared for the final exam?"

"Have them take both together?"

Professor Uregor casually blurted out something that Yi-Han would have stabbed him for if he had heard.

Professor Bungaegor looked intrigued by those words.

"Certainly, it's a waste to just let it go..."

"That's right."

Professor Uregor agreed like a sycophant. It was truly fortunate that the elder of the family seemed to be in a good mood.

"But I'm a bit hesitant to change the exam content. The students aren't familiar with aquatic creatures."

"Nah. No, they are. The students are so smart."

Professor Uregor kept encouraging her from the side, fearing that Professor Bungaegor might change her mind and torment him.

As an Einroguard student, one should know how to become friendly with aquatic creatures in the suddenly created sea, even if given such a task.

"I heard from Professor Garcia that the students also learned underwater breathing magic."

"Still... Hmm..."

While Professor Bungaegor was lost in thought, the skull principal flew by in the distance, spinning round and round.

Seeing that, Professor Uregor was surprised.

'No. He must be really angry!'

The person who usually flew normally was flying round and round like that.

It wasn't just a usual grumpiness.

What on earth happened?

"What's the matter?"

“Ah! Professor Uregor! Listen to me!”

The skull principal explained what had happened, venting his resentment.

“If you haven't decided on the exam content yet, raise the difficulty several times! Avenge my devouring-ship fish!”

"Ah, yes. That's really unfortunate."

Professor Uregor just agreed roughly and let it flow in one ear and out the other.

Honestly, for the professors of Einroguard, the skull principal being tricked by a student was not something they could sympathize with.

First of all, it was a very rare occurrence...

...And honestly, it was close to being his own fault.

'For whose benefit?'

Professor Uregor had no intention of changing the exam content at all. Above all, it was bothersome.

"But how did he get his hands on the devouring-ship fish reagents? Did you drop them on the street?"

“No! I put them in the professors' lounge, and that guy took them.”

"Wow! That guy is really amaz..."

The skull principal glared at Professor Uregor. Professor Uregor quickly changed his words.

"...ingly bad guy! Ha! Where did he learn such bad things!"

“If you find out what method he used to take them, please report to me.”

Renjid, a Black Tortoise Tower student from a chef family, added as he passed by.

"Look at Wardanaz. He makes it taste good even while saving ingredients. That's what a real chef is. Making excuses as a chef..."

"Hey... you insensitive bastard...!"

"Are you Gainando? Are you Gainando??"

When the Blue Dragon Tower students criticized him, Renjid was flustered.

He was just telling the truth about cooking!

But fortunately, thanks to the two of them being scolded, the White Tiger Tower students calmed down.

"We may not be as good at cooking as Wardanaz. Wardanaz is from a high noble family."

"?"

The Blue Dragon Tower students tilted their heads.

'We are also...'

'From high noble families...'

'But can't cook?'

'Shh. Be quiet.'

Meanwhile, Yi-Han took the soup he received and checked the barricade.

"How is it, Wardanaz? They won't be able to come this way, right?"

"Yeah. You did well."

"...Can't we increase the rations a bit? There's so much piled up..."

"No. What are you talking about? We don't know how long the flood will last."

Yi-Han cut him off firmly.

"Instead, I'll prepare a bit more for dinner today since we have an exam."

"!"

The faces of the White Tiger Tower students standing next to Yi-Han brightened.

"By the way, is the riding exam really about flaming puppies?"

"I'm telling you, it is. I'm really sure."

The White Tiger Tower students strongly insisted.

There was a rumor circulating among the students since yesterday.

-This semester's midterm exam is about flaming puppies!-

Flaming puppies, which they had dealt with in the 1st semester as well.

Some students who were wandering around the school at night witnessed Professor Bungaegor moving a cage containing these flaming puppies.

Of course, to be precise, they had grown quite a bit to be called flaming puppies.

"They said there were flaming puppies the size of horses playing in the cage!"

"That level doesn't seem like puppies... Anyway, I got it. I'll keep that in mind."

Yi-Han tilted his head.

Can we really take an exam with flaming puppies in this rain?

"Could it be training to rescue flaming puppies that have fallen into the water?"

"That's too cruel. What if the puppies die?"

"...Wardanaz. Worry about us going into the water in this weather first..."

—

A dock that they had never seen before had been created on the sea. It was a dock made by Professor Bungaegor.

The students got off the devouring-ship fish one by one. The devouring-ship fish spewed water pitifully.

"Good work, everyone."

"Sob sob..."

"Professor..."

The students nodded their heads with a choked up expression.

Of course, that was that, and the exam was the exam, so the students prepared to take out the flame resistance measures they had prepared with a determined expression.

Moreover, in this weather, wouldn't it be even more difficult for flame monsters to exert their strength?

"Today's exam will be about how you handle aquatic creatures."

"?"

"...?"

"Are flaming puppies aquatic creatures?"

"Ah. Were you expecting flaming puppies?"

Professor Bungaegor looked a bit apologetic.

"It seems a bit difficult because of the heavy rain. So the exam has changed."

"...What do we have to do? Fishing... It's fishing, right?"

Gainando looked at her as if begging for the answer to be fishing.

He didn't want to go into that pitch-black water where the rain and darkness were rushing in.

"Fishing is also a method."

"I knew it...!"

"I released aquatic creatures, so catch any one of them. Don't hurt them."

As soon as Professor Bungaegor finished speaking, a huge fin brushed past the surface of the water.

The students looked at each other with sorrowful faces.
