Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy - Chapter 641

Chapter 641

"Does that kind of persuasion usually work on monsters?"

"How would I know? I'm not friendly with spirits."

"S-sorry."

"I didn't say that for you to apologize? Anyway, we've got permission, so let's hurry and search."

"Yi-Han. Honestly, no matter how much you like treasures, it's not easy to search in this kind of atmosphere."

Gainando grumbled.

With a rock Hekatonkheires glaring fiercely from the side, and in a tomb where undead monsters could pop out from anywhere at any time, it wasn't easy to search for treasures.

"Yonaire and Nillia are already gathering things."

"?!"

Gainando turned around.

Yonaire and Nillia were already selecting and gathering valuable items from the silver burial goods.

"Th-they've gone weird from attending Einroguard!"

'You attended Einroguard too...'

Thud-

The Hekatonkheires called Arsil from inside.

As the two had quite a long conversation, Yi-Han asked curiously,

"What were you talking about for so long? Yes, they are Einroguard students... ...No, why would you say that to us?!"

As Yi-Han became flustered, Gainando asked anxiously,

"What's going on, Yi-Han? It's nothing serious, right? He didn't suddenly change his mind and want to eat us, did he?"

The Hekatonkheires spoke to Arsil. Arsil relayed to Yi-Han, and Yi-Han relayed to Gainando.

"He says don't jabber like an unpleasant human. He asks why would he eat something like you."

"I-I'm sorry."

Yi-Han called his friends and relayed what the Hekatonkheires had just said.

"This Hekatonkheires here has the humiliation of being defeated by the principal in the past."

The Hekatonkheires spoke to Arsil. Arsil relayed to Yi-Han, and Yi-Han relayed to his friends.

"...He says it's not humiliation, but more like a debt."

The Hekatonkheires...

"Ah. Whether it's a debt or an old grudge, why does that matter! Let me speak."

Yi-Han shouted in annoyance.

The conversation kept getting twice as slow as it had to go through several people.

"Anyway, he has an old grudge and wants to settle it with us."

The Hekatonkhei...

"He's not settling it with us, but wants to test us according to proper qualifications and rights. Honestly, isn't that the same thing?"

When Yi-Han muttered quietly, the Hekatonkheires snapped back angrily.

However, this time Arsil remained silent.

The Hekatonkheires protested, asking why he was staying quiet.

When Arsil firmly replied that he wouldn't relay words that would pollute his younger brother's ears, the Hekatonkheires became furious and spewed curses. Ṙ

"Why is he acting like that this time?"

Arsil answered with a smile, saying 'He's just excited'. Yi-Han thought it was a really strange monster.

'Are all high-intelligence monsters this eccentric?'

Well, if you really think about it, even the principal...

"No, why are you settling an old grudge against the principal with us!"

Gainando reacted belatedly.

That monster, despite having many heads, had a level of thinking lower than Gainando himself, who only had one head.

The Hekatonk...

"He says that as a teacher's honor is passed down to the disciple, and a teacher's knowledge is passed down to the disciple, a teacher's debt is also passed down to the disciple. No. Isn't that too forced?"

Despite Yi-Han's protest, the Hekatonkheires paid no attention.

At that response, Gainando fell into deep thought for a long time.

As he wasn't usually a friend who thought this deeply, Yonaire found it curious and asked,

"What are you thinking about?"

"But isn't Yi-Han the only real disciple of the principal here?"

"..."

Although no one in their right mind would learn under such a mage, sometimes a disciple as strange as the master would appear and learn it.

Anyway, while this control magic series had such convenience and versatility, it also had strong limitations.

For low mana consumption, quick casting, and delicate control, the weight limit was quite tight.

Even intermediate control was touch and go with ten-something kilograms...

"Even if we all learn intermediate control and do it together... Hmm. It would be impossible."

"W-wait. Wardanaz. I don't have the confidence to learn intermediate control magic right now! I don't!"

Nillia was startled when Wardanaz overestimated her too much and denied it.

To naturally place herself as a constant!

However, Yi-Han, thinking Nillia was just being modest again, laughed it off.

"What are you saying? You can do it."

"I'm telling you I can't...!"

"Okay, okay. Let's say you can't. Anyway, control magic is impossible right now."

'He's my friend, but I want to hit him!'

Nillia felt like she understood why White Tiger Tower students muttered, "Thanks to that Wardanaz bastard I avoided failing, but I still want to hit the back of his head just once."

This friend from the Wardanaz family had an excellent talent for teasing people.

"Other magics are... transformation magic, earth element magic."

"There's also alchemy. It's not a particularly difficult potion to melt rocks like that."

As they often had to use it when melting hard materials, alchemists dealt a lot with acidic or corrosive potions.

Although it would take a long time, it could definitely make a hole even in a rock like that.

"I did learn ."

"Huh? Was there such a thing among the transformation magic we learned this year?"

"I learned it while repairing Einroguard at night with the principal."

"...?!"

"More than that, what I'm worried about is... No. Let's try it first."

Yi-Han approached the rock holding his staff.

"Rock, become sand..."

Clang!

With a collision sound that only mages could hear, the magic bounced off.

Yi-Han realized that a very powerful magic structure was in place inside the rock.

'As expected. I thought it wouldn't be easy.'

The Hekatonkheires, who had been humiliated by the skull principal, wouldn't have given such an easy problem.

This rock was probably designed to be impervious to magic.

'Who made this? It's so difficult to understand the structure. It deflects external mana and disperses impacts...'

Seeing Gonadaltes' disciples struggling, the Hekatonkheires clapped its many hands together.

The rock that Gonadaltes' disciples were struggling with now was the same rock that the Hekatonkheires itself had suffered from.

-Hekatonkheires! I've heard that you triplets are the strongest on this continent. But can you really break even this rock? I don't think so.-

-N-nonsense. Mage. We can break rocks like this with our eyes closed!-

-Really? If you do that, this insignificant mage will serve you for a hundred years! But if you can't break it? Honestly, it seems difficult to break...-

-If-if we can't break it, we'll do whatever you say, mage. But if we break it, we'll smash your skull too!-

-Haha! Well decided!-

How much the Hekatonkheires had suffered, falling for the trick rock presented by the mage who came with a plan.

Now it was time for his disciples to suffer.

The mages who had been trying various magics, half giving up, started to directly slam mana into the rock while grabbing it.

Seeing this, the heads of the Hekatonkheires burst into laughter.

No matter how desperate, for mages to abandon magic and choose such a crude method.

Such a thing was only possible for monsters like the Hekatonkheires with innate mana and strength.

Even the Hekatonkheires itself had tried and failed.

Bang!

"I think it worked?"

"Wow. To think such a method would work..."
