Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy (Web Novel) - Chapter 728
Chapter 728
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Professor Bendozols outcry naturally fell on deaf ears.To begin with, the relationship between the Quidditch Club members and Professor Bendozol wasnt particularly close. If one had to describe it, it was closer to a hostile symbiotic relationship.
The Quidditch Club needed to obtain, tame, and care for various rare animals from the Empire.
As such, the help of Professor Bendozol, Einroguards top expert, was certainly necessary, but
Professor Bendozol was also someone who, while helping with animals, constantly tried to steal the Quidditch Clubs animals.
When such a person complained about a promising junior member being harmed, it could only sound like nonsense.
Hormashi suddenly became curious and asked.
But Professor, why dont you attack directly?
Of course, even though Einroguard lived without Imperial law, it was rare for professors to attack students arbitrarily.
But wasnt Professor Bendozol especially crazy among those professors?
For two reasons. First, if I attack directly, I might earn the unicorns hatred.
I think you already have?
Hormashi thought so, but didnt want to provoke the crazy professor, so he kept it to himself.
Yes I see. Whats the other reason?
I promised the Principal I wouldnt attack him over the unicorn matter. Damn it!
?
Hormashi, who had been listening without much thought, perked up his long ears in confusion.
What kind of bullshit is that?
The Skeleton Principal might incite someone to attack others, but he was absolutely not someone who would tell anyone not to attack someone.
Perhaps there was some special protection policy for students taking multiple schools that Hormashi didnt know about?
How did you end up making such a promise
-Its not like I did anything particularly great. I just happened to meet during winter break.
The Dark Elf senior who was about to ask the professor again paused.
The junior had started explaining how he became friends with the unicorn.
It was a story several times more interesting than Professor Bendozols tale.
So thats how it was.
Wait. Ill listen to that later.
Hormashi cut off Professor Bendozols words and listened intently.
You met during winter break? How exactly?
During winter break, I went looking for a unicorn to help Professor Lightningstep with his work.
Oh my. Why on earth?
The club seniors murmured among themselves.
There were various bad choices one could make during vacation, but among them, helping a professor with their work was the worst choice.
Couldnt I help?
Doesnt seem like it. Anyway, continue. Did you meet the unicorn while looking for it? How did you become friends?
Lee Han briefly explained what had happened in the mountain range during winter break.
He had gone in with hunters to protect a unicorn and met Professor Bendozol
Oh no!
Of all things!
The seniors let out sighs of despair.
Even with bad luck, how could one be so unlucky?
Helping a professor during vacation was unfortunate enough, but to meet another professor while helping with that work.
In that situation, the Principal arrived and everything was resolved well.
I see Huh?
The Quidditch Club members murmured.
The unicorn in the mountain range and the evil monsters targeting the unicorn, Dochul and Bendozol. And the mages and hunters who arrived to save that unicorn.
It was a very exciting story, but suddenly the Principal appeared and it reached a conclusion.
Did Professor Lightningstep call him?
No way. Professor Lightningstep has common sense, so he wouldnt call the Principal.
I called him.
You called him?
Yes.
Seeing the seniors ominous atmosphere, Lee Han hastily made excuses.
Professor Lightningstep and Professor Bendozol were fighting, so I had no choice. Dochul was about to attack
Hmm! Your words make sense too. Certainly that situation couldnt be helped.
Thank you for understanding.
The seniors smiled and nodded.
Then they all fled in unison.
***
It couldnt be helped.
The only senior who didnt run away, Hormashi, spoke to him.
Lee Han replied with a slightly sullen attitude.
What couldnt be helped?
Regardless of the reason, the very fact that you called the Principal sounds dangerous.
The Dark Elf senior spoke casually, but there was nothing wrong with the content.
It didnt matter how dangerous the situation was.
What mattered was that the junior was close enough to the Skeleton Principal to call him.
I just happened to receive a summoning artifact by chance.
I see. I believe you!
Saying that, Hormashi took a step back.
If this junior had received a summoning artifact from the Skeleton Principal, it wouldnt be strange if he suddenly transformed into a monster from another dimension.
Anyway, dont worry about the other members reactions. They fear you now, but
The misunderstanding will clear up over time, right?
Yeah. I was going to say theyll ignore it and just play Quidditch anyway. What misunderstanding is there to clear up? Its all true.
Whether Lee Han glared at him or not, Hormashi said what he wanted to say.
More importantly, junior. Lets talk about Quidditch! Actually, this Hormashi has been waiting for a junior like you. I dont care at all even if youre the Principals top student.
Who said that again? Which bastard was it?
Again?
Oops.
From the seniors expression, Lee Han realized he had overreacted.
Hormashi asked with a wary look.
Do you often hear that youre the Principals top student?
No? This is the first time Im hearing it.
Right. Lets get back to what we were talking about.
Though he said that, Hormashi took two more steps back.
Right now, Einroguards Quidditch Club lacks outstanding attackers. Senior Kimbelden graduated, and Senior Bodrulgo failed to graduate and went crazy.
Excuse me?
Lee Han wanted to ask more about Senior Bodrulgo, but Hormashi didnt seem very interested in people who had left the club.
But you have the talent of an outstanding attacker. You might be able to fill that gap.
I appreciate the compliment, but I havent played much Quidditch.
This was true.
Unlike his friends who enjoyed mounted Quidditch, bare-handed Quidditch, table Quidditch, assignment Quidditch (Quidditch using crumpled assignments as balls), and Wardanaz Quidditch (Quidditch where White Tiger Tower students playing the ball role dodge the angry Wardanazs staff) whenever they were bored, Lee Han himself hadnt played much Quidditch.
It doesnt matter. Talent is separate from experience.
Lee Han, who had been listening to the story, suddenly became curious.
What was this senior seeng in him to evaluate him so highly?
Do I really have that much talent for polo? Why?
Youre close with a unicorn. Thats enough.
No. Thats just talent for handling animals.
Originally, talent for handling animals is 90% of polo. Horsemanship is 50%.
Maybe because hes a White Tiger Tower senior, hes weak with numbers.
Hormashi looked at the unicorn playing next to Lee Han and spoke in a very satisfied voice.
To think it likes you that much. You and the unicorn will make a good pair.
But senior. I have no intention of playing polo riding a unicorn.
!?!?
-!?!?
Not only Hormashi but even the unicorn looked at Lee Han with shocked eyes.
Why?!
-!
Well theres already someone I promised to ride out with. If I ride the unicorn out, itll get sulky.
You need to persuade it properly! What are you talking about?!
The dark elf senior was so shocked that he shouted in a shrill voice.
Having a unicorn but not riding it out was blasphemy against polo, unicorns, and the Empire.
Of course, not riding a horse youre close with might feel like betrayal. But when theres a more suitable one, forcing consideration is a more cruel act.
Its, its not a horse.
Not a horse?
Hormashi, who naturally assumed a 2nd year students close mount would be a horse, tilted his head.
If not, then what? A mountain goat? A wild boar? An ostrich?
Senior. Please promise you wont think its strange if I tell you.
Are you underestimating your senior? I wont be surprised no matter what youve tamed.
Ever since the junior had summoned the Skeleton Principal, Hormashi couldnt be surprised by his junior.
Even if he had tamed a griffin
Hmm. That would be a bit surprising though.
Understood. Actually, its a griffin.
What the hell kind of guy are you??
***
After comforting his wounded junior (during which the junior was comforting the wounded unicorn), Hormashi spoke in a serious voice.
Lets go see your griffin.
The unicorn tried to attack Hormashi with an angry cry.
Then Hormashi quickly created distance and kept the unicorn at bay.
Dont come near me, you horned horse. As long as my junior has a griffin, I have no business with you!
-!
Arent you being too harsh with your words?
Its not like Im going to ride it.
Hormashi spoke with an indifferent attitude.
What a rider cherishes is the animal they ride, not an animal theyre not even close with.
No. Before going to see the griffin, it would be better to see my mount first. Follow me.
Hormashi was very excited by the fact that a griffin rider junior had joined.
If we charge together shoulder to shoulder!
For that, they needed to know something about each others mounts. Hormashi planned to explain his mount to his junior.
Hormashi! Tell your junior to get the support funds!
Ah. Thats right.
At Senior Perses shout from afar, Lee Han asked curiously.
What are support funds?
The polo club periodically gives gold coins from the club treasury to members who raise animals. To help and encourage raising them.
The polo clubs prize money was partly given to active members, and the rest was stored in the treasury to be used as support funds for members.
The rarer and more powerful animals they raised, the more support they received as it helped the club.
One griffin, one unicorn. Wow.
Hormashi whistled as he calculated. This might set a new club record.
Do you have any more? Horses get a little too, so tell me if you have any.
I am raising a baby basilisk though.
Baby basilisk basilisk?
A tail poked out from Lee Hans sleeve and wiggled.
Hormashi saw it and slowly shook his head. Then he called Perse.
Senior Perse! Come help with the support fund application!
Handle that much yourself! Are you calling me because its bothersome?
Even if I submit it, everyone will come to check anyway, so just come here and check it now!
Hormashi wisely predicted the future.
If he submitted it like this, club members would get angry saying Hormashi, dont mess around with your juniors application!
In that case, it was better to just show them now.
What nonsense
Perse approached grumbling as if he didnt understand.
He was quite busy just explaining to the newly joined 2nd year students where they could get Einroguards rare animals and how to tame them.
Professor Bendozol wasnt helping but rather interfering with words like You guys arent qualified to tame them!
Just come and take a look.
If you called me for something useless, junior education will be your job, Hormashi Hormashi, dont mess around with your juniors application!
Hormashi looked at Lee Han and winked with an expression that said What did I tell you.
