Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy (Web Novel) - Chapter 590

Chapter 590

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

-It's the law that mages don't reveal their secrets, but I'm really curious about this.-

Orifulas asked seriously.

The methods used by the students who entered before were methods that Orifulas could sufficiently grasp.

However, he couldn't even guess what kind of secret was hidden in the method shown by the boy from the Wardanaz family.

To deceive the eyes of Orifulas, who had served as an imperial legal officer for 131 years.

By what method?

"Actually..."

-Actually?-

"I mean... but will this affect my grade if I reveal it?"

-It won't! Stop teasing and tell me!-

Orifulas shouted, his body burning with curiosity.

Professor Rosine also pretended not to care, but her ears were perked up.

"Ac-actually, he's a criminal I fought and defeated before."

"..."

"..."

Both Professor Rosine and Ubal, the good imperial citizen next to them, were at a loss for words.

Kilvedek couldn't even lift his head out of shame.

The people in the room didn't say anything, but Kilvedek heard a hallucination in his ears, 'He was caught and couldn't even beat a young mage like that?'

And in fact, that hallucination was roughly correct.

'When did they even fight? There's no way he would have met a freshman unless it was a special case?'

'Even if he's a mage, he's still young, but to be defeated like that. He must have been an adventurer with little skill.'

Kilvedek unknowingly opened his mouth and started making excuses.

"Actually, there were unavoidable circumstances..."

-Perfect score... Perfect score!!-

Orifulas, who was trembling with emotion, came to his senses late and applauded.

It was a truly amazing and touching method.

***

"It was a really unique exam."

"The actors were good. They really seemed like real criminals."

"..."

Yi-Han tried to say something but refrained from scaring his friends.

It was better not to hear the fact that criminals were kidnapped and brought from outside.

'Yeah. There aren't many final exams left anyway.'

As those numerous exams ended one by one and the weekend approached, the students' faces also brightened.

In Yi-Han's view, this final exam was the most stable among the exams he had taken this year.

Surprisingly, emotions such as frustration, pain, despair, and regret were not visible on the students' faces.

Originally, especially during the exam period, such emotions should have been deeply engraved like scars.

The great escape incident before the final exam played a big role in this.

If there was a warm meal, a comfortable bed, and ample school supplies, one could maintain some sanity while studying magic!

The students who realized this secret were amazed at themselves.

'And I was surprised too.'

Who would have thought that just by having a full stomach and a warm back, my friends would become so strong?

Yi-Han thought about mentioning it to the skull principal when he met him later, but gave up.

'I don't think I'll see a good outcome.'

"Are you there?"

-Come in! Come in!-

Yi-Han, who passed through the deadly poison fog and arrived at the underground warehouse where the giants stayed, went inside.

Even while taking exams, Yi-Han often visited the giants to check on them.

Since they had to stay for nearly a week, he didn't know what variables might arise.

But the giants listened to Yi-Han's words much better than he had worried. The friendship he had built with the giants did not waver even in this underground warehouse.

'Nothing unusual.'

Some giants were snoring loudly while sleeping, some were drawing murals on the warehouse walls, and some were playing giant chess (it was similar to chess, but a variation that only used giants and mountain-destroying goats as pieces).

"Nothing happened, right?"

-Something happened!-

"?!"

Yi-Han was startled.

"What happened... Did you run out of food?"

-No! More than that, mage, do you think we're gluttons?-

"How could that be? I'm worried that you giants eat too little."

Yi-Han lied without even wetting his lips. The giants were so delighted by Yi-Han's flattery.

-Really? Is that so?-

"Yes. You know the friend I mentioned last time, Gainando? That friend eats much more..."

-Ah! The friend who wore a pot of stew on his head?-

-The friend whose clothes all burned while trying to put out a fire with his cloak?-

-The friend who tried to fly from the top of the tower but was kidnapped by a wyvern?-

"The last one isn't it?"

Yi-Han was puzzled.

He had never told the last story.

The giants scratched their heads.

-Huh? It wasn't?-

-Strange? Then who was it?-

-I already said it was Gainando. I told the other giants too.-

-Then let's just say it's Gainando!-

While the giants compromised on their own, Yi-Han brought the story back to the original point.

"What unusual thing happened? If it's not food, did other seniors come by any chance...?"

-Ah. Mages came here before.-

"!"

Yi-Han tensed up.

Other seniors approaching this underground warehouse was the most likely and dangerous thing.

One of them could spread rumors that there were giants here, or even tell Professor Bagrak directly.

'Hmm. No.'

Yi-Han excluded the possibility of directly telling Professor Bagrak among the dangers he had just thought of.

No matter how much he considered all possibilities, it didn't seem like there would be a senior who would directly tell Professor Bagrak.

"Did they come in?"

-No. They collapsed on the floor while approaching.-

-Other friends took them and ran away.-

"..."

Recalling the still highly concentrated poison and dark magic traps, Yi-Han became a little worried.

If the image of the dark magic school seniors worsened because of Yi-Han…

'It can't be helped. I'll have to explain later.'

Yi-Han vowed to definitely make excuses on behalf of the dark magic school seniors next year when he became a 2nd-year student.

"If it's not food or mages, then what is it?"

-A monster came here.-

"There are too many monsters in Einroguard..."

Yi-Han wasn't very surprised to hear about a monster.

Honestly, if you only looked at the numbers, there were more monsters than students in Einroguard.

"It's not something like a flying skull, right? That's really dangerous."

-Not that!-

-It's the blood-sucking monster that the mage told us about last time.-

"...!!!"

Yi-Han was startled.

The blood-sucking monster that was somewhere in the underground of Einroguard, woke up, and escaped through the death knights' siege.

He naturally thought it had escaped to the mountains…

Who would have thought it would be discovered again in the school's underground?

"Is that true?"

-I saw it. The thing opened the door, came in, saw us, and ran away.-

-Its tail was on fire!-

The giants burst into laughter filled with pride.

'Hmm.'

However, Yi-Han's thoughts became complicated.

It was understandable that the opponent saw the giants and ran away. After all, giants were powerful beings that had nothing good to gain from fighting.

But it ran away immediately.

It meant that the opponent was more cunning and intelligent than expected. It must have taken the lesson it learned from the death knights last time.

There was nothing more annoying than a monster with good learning ability.

'As long as we don't encounter each other until the final exams are over.'

-Oh. That's not what's important.-

"?"

-That thing is looking for the mage.-

-Right. It smelled the mage's scent.-

"...?!?!!!!"

Yi-Han was the most surprised by what he heard today.

"It's... looking for me? Are you sure it's not a mistake?"

-It's not a mistake. I know when it smells a mage's scent.-

-Beasts often do that. Even a goat, when angry, smells the scent of the person who made it angry and breaks their back.-

The giants here in the Einroguard mountains were excellent at herding fierce monsters, and as such, they were also skilled at inferring the intentions of monsters from their movements.

The fact that the giants spoke like that about the blood-sucking monster carried weight.

"Why is it chasing me? I didn't really do anything wrong... Well, not nothing, but I think the death knights did worse."

Although Yi-Han also attacked a little when fighting the blood-sucking monster, it was nothing compared to the death knights.

If it wanted revenge, shouldn't it chase the death knights first?

-What are you talking about, mage?-

-Mage, you still don't know beasts well. You need to raise more goat.-

The giants laughed at Yi-Han's reaction.

He still had little experience with the habits of monsters.

-Beasts chase tasty prey, not the hunters who hit them.-

-That's right, that's right. It must be fixated on the mage.-

"!"

Only then did Yi-Han fully understand what the giants were talking about.

'Was that it??'

The blood-sucking monster coming to this underground warehouse must have been because it was following Yi-Han's remaining scent.

It ran away after unexpectedly encountering the giants, but…

'Is it because of mana? Damn it.'

Yi-Han couldn't think of anything other than mana for the blood-sucking monster he met for the first time to drool over him.

-So, mage. We have something to say.-

-That's right. That's right.-

The giants who were sleeping woke up, the giants who were drawing murals approached, and the giants who were playing giant chess stopped the game.

To be precise, the losing giant stopped. The winning giant was fuming.

The gathered giants crossed their arms and firmly revealed their determination.

-We will escort you.-

"...Pardon?"

-No matter how much I think about it, that beast will be annoying. Especially for the mage.-

"...N-no."

Yi-Han, who was momentarily intrigued, quickly came to his senses.

Even if the giants were reliable, he couldn't take them around as bodyguards.

Aside from Professor Bagrak's exam, rumors of him being a crazy student would immediately spread to the entire school.

-I heard that junior takes giants around as escorts.-

-He must be really crazy...-

"You can't do that. You must not be discovered."

-Ah. Right.-

-That's true.-

The giants belatedly realized the situation and became gloomy.

They were worried about Yi-Han, but they couldn't go outside.

"I'll be fine. I can protect myself."

-Really?-

-Weren't you hiding from that strong mage right now?-

The giants were not stupid just because they were clumsy in imperial language.

When they cunningly wielded the facts to poke at the sore spot, Yi-Han flinched.

"...Professor Bagrak is a bit of an exception."

-Can't you even beat the flying skull?-

"The principal is also a bit of an exception..."

-What about that smart person-troll?-

"Professor Garcia is also... No, I'm really good at protecting myself for my level!"

Yi-Han unknowingly raised his voice.

The giants were looking at Yi-Han with pitiful eyes.

-Mage. It's okay. Mages are originally frail.-

-Sturdy warriors protect. Mages are protected. That's how it originally is.-

'It's unfair.'

Yi-Han was frustrated that persuasion didn't work because the people he was being compared to were too strong.

Among mages of a similar level, he was really good at protecting himself!

-Mage. If you need help, call us.-

-We will go and help you.-

"Yes... thank you."

Yi-Han answered in a tired voice.

***

"Wait. Wasn't I deceived by the principal?"

Professor Parsellet finally thought of the question that she should have naturally thought of first right before the final exam.

-Is that so?-

-It doesn't seem like it.-

"Still, I don't think he would ask for a difficult exam..."

The skull principal had said that Yi-Han wanted to take a more difficult exam, so she prepared it that way, but when she thought about it carefully, no matter what, it didn't seem like a student would do that.

Isn't it strange…

-We'll know by his reaction! If it's a lie, he'll say it himself!-

At the other personality's shout, Professor Parsellet thought it made sense.

Well, if the principal's words were a lie, the student himself would say, 'Professor, my exam is strange.'

There was no way he wouldn't notice that he was receiving completely different materials from the other friends next to him.

A moment later.

The students entered.

The students who arrived at their respective seats checked the materials and exam content.

Yi-Han also checked and started the exam without any particular objection.

'Uh... was it true?'

Professor Parsellet felt slightly sorry towards the skull principal.
