Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy - Chapter 639

Chapter 639

While everyone was deeply moved, Arsil opened his mouth. Yi-Han was slightly flustered.

"Oh. You want to give gifts to my friends? You don't have to... No, brother. Please don't feel hurt. Aren't some of them a bit dangerous? You say you'll give truly safe ones? Last time you said that to me too... You say you knew it was actually dangerous, but you wanted to give something good? No, what are you doing now?"

Yi-Han felt upset.

When he asked for something not dangerous, why did he keep adding unsolicited affection!

"Yi-Han. I'm curious about what it means that he speaks spirit language..."

Yonaire was curious about what kind of person Yi-Han's brother was.

And mixed in that curiosity was a slightly wicked expectation.

Just as Yonaire had been embarrassed because of her crazy sister, she wanted to see Yi-Han embarrassed because of his crazy sibling!

"What gift?"

"Wait. Gainando. Spirit language..."

"Is spirit language important? He just said gift! He did say gift, right?"

The tactless relative rushed to Yi-Han and asked.

He couldn't help but be tempted when such a mysterious-looking person said they would give a gift.

"He did say gift, but you need to be careful, Gainando. Most of the gifts my brother gave were all strange."

Arsil became slightly sulky and made excuses. Of course, his ungrateful younger brother pretended not to hear.

"He's asking if Gainando likes mage card games? He does like them, but... No. Brother. Don't give him any gifts related to mage card games. He'll play them all day long." Ŕ

"What? He's giving mage cards?!"

Gainando caught the content of the conversation amazingly well despite not being able to hear the spirit language.

"Me! Me! I want to receive it! If you give it to me, I'll use it gratefully for life!"

Arsil smiled warmly and handed over a pencil case made of tough leather. Gainando received it with a puzzled look.

"Uh, are you telling me to study?"

"No. He says it's not a pencil case, but a case for storing mage cards?"

"A leather case!"

Gainando smiled contentedly and put his cards in the case. Then Arsil explained.

"He says it's not an ordinary case? It will give advice when playing mage card games."

"...!"

Gainando was surprised.

Among artifacts, those with consciousness or intelligence were extremely rare.

Moreover, if it was specifically for mage card games, it was even more so.

Who would spend expensive resources to make an artifact that gives advice on mage cards?

"R-really?!"

"But in a game that's mostly determined by luck anyway, is advice meaningful?"

"Don't talk about things you don't know, Yi-Han! Skill is so important in mage card games!"

Nillia was puzzled by Gainando's exclamation.

"Doesn't he always lose to Wardanaz?"

"Leave him be. I guarantee he won't win even with advice."

Despite his friends' slander, Gainando didn't care.

He thought that while bad luck was part of the reason for his low win rate, the occasional judgment errors also played a big role.

If he could eliminate those mistakes with advice, he could surely win!

"Huhu. Now no one can stop me..."

"My brother is asking if you'd like to play a quick game, what do you think?"

"Sure!"

Gainando took out his cards from the case with a bright expression.

Arsil also smiled and took out his cards. Seeing cards like or , Gainando smiled confidently.

They were neither rare nor expensive cards.

And 10 minutes later.

"..."

Gainando could only blink in shock after losing 5 games out of 5.

Not only did he lose, but he lost much more overwhelmingly than usual.

"Yi-Yi-Han, isn't this wrong advice?!"

Yi-Han answered indifferently.

"My brother can hear the voices of spirits."

"So what?"

"He says the spirits tell him all your cards. It'll be hard to win."

To begin with, as numerous guests continuously visited and stayed, new balls, banquets, plays, or performances were steadily held.

New guests could spend a whole day just responding to these invitations.

But the Wardanaz family's territory was the most unusual and different place even among the territories of great noble families.

There wasn't much to do as not only guests but even people of the mansion were rarely seen.

The only thing possible was patrolling the territory.

A pleasant amusement that any family could do, looking around the family's territory while getting some fresh air...

"Mr. Yi-Han. You shouldn't approach the western garden of the mansion at present. The golems have rebelled, and it will take some time to subdue them."

Arlong said politely and walked down the corridor. Yi-Han spoke as if it couldn't be helped.

"Oh dear. The western garden is off-limits."

"..."

Gainando regretted speaking up, but he couldn't stop here.

The golem rebellion garden seemed better than continuing to study here.

"Then north! Let's go north!"

"There's a lake labyrinth in the north... Sir! Is it okay to enter the lake labyrinth now?"

"I don't recommend it, Mr. Yi-Han. The currents in the lake labyrinth are at their fiercest right now, so it would be dangerous if you enter carelessly."

"That's what he says."

The three wanted to ask 'What on earth is a lake labyrinth and why is it in the territory?', but they kept their mouths shut, afraid Yi-Han might take them if he explained.

Fortunately, Yi-Han wasn't the only one in the mansion. Arsil, who was passing by, heard the conversation and kindly said,

"My brother says he'll guide you to a nice place?"

"The lake labyrinth?!"

When Gainando shouted in surprise, Yi-Han spoke as if asking what nonsense he was talking about.

"I told you the lake labyrinth is dangerous. Gainando. Even if you want to go, hold back."

"N-no... I don't want to go to the lake labyrinth..."

Arsil gestured for them to just follow him.

He wanted to give his younger brother's friends who had come to the mansion like this an enjoyable experience.

"Hmm. I'm not sure if it'll be okay."

When Yi-Han worried, his friends asked curiously.

"Why?"

"The places my brother usually recommends were all a bit strange and dangerous."

"It'll be fine."

"That's right. Yi-Han. We've been to Einroguard too."

Yi-Han felt reassured by his friends' confident appearance.

He could feel how much they had all toughened up thanks to attending Einroguard together.

"Yeah. You're right."

Spirits appeared one by one around Arsil as he walked forward, clearing away stones on the dirt path and pushing back the undergrowth.

The spirits were clearing the way on their own lest Arsil get hurt.

He didn't understand well before, but now that he knew a bit about spirits, he could tell how amazing this was.

'...I shouldn't be envious.'

Yi-Han repeated to himself and tried not to look.

In fact, it was natural that Arsil didn't learn magic.

If he was loved by spirits like that, what need would he have for magic?

Only people who weren't loved by spirits, like Yi-Han, needed magic...

'Oh no. What am I thinking.'

Arsil's pace gradually quickened. Yi-Han's group following behind also sped up accordingly.

The spirits were pushing them from behind.

"Is it here?"

Yi-Han was puzzled at Arsil's words as he stopped. There wasn't anything particularly special around.

Rumble-

The earth spirits made a heavy sound as they created an entrance.

An ancient tomb so old that its age was indeterminable revealed itself before their eyes.

Seeing that, Gainando muttered without realizing,

"Isn't this much stranger and more dangerous than we thought?"
