Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy (Web Novel) - Chapter 978
Chapter 978
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Hmm!The golem senior groaned as his wisdom hit a wall right from the start.
Who would have thought such a situation would arise the moment he was told to rely on wisdom rather than magic?
He was already tempted to rely on magic.
No. This cant be solved with magic.
If it were weak prophecy like before, he could somehow redirect the misfortune with a few taboos, but in the current situation, it was impossible.
To twist that with magic, his junior might have to transform into a dragon and walk only on his left front paw without being seen by any mages and never opening his mouth once such bizarre taboos could emerge.
Wait. You made a contract with a star?
The golem senior, who had been pondering, was suddenly startled.
He had missed it because his wisdom was blocked, but this wasnt something to just pass over.
His junior sighed deeply like before and said.
Senior. Is that really important right now
It is important!
This time the golem senior didnt let it slide either.
No matter how threatening a future he had seen, there were things that needed to be addressed.
A mere second-year junior had made a contract with a star!
What star did you contract with?
Guest Star Arna.
Indeed!
The golem senior nodded calmly. Lee Han was somewhat impressed by this sight.
As expected of a fourth year. Hes not surprised by something like this.
When Lee Han learned what kind of star this was, he had rolled around in frustration, but indeed seniors were different in some way.
Indeed.
?
Lee Han felt something was off about his senior repeating the same words like a broken phonograph.
When he looked down, the distance between him and his senior had somehow grown. It was surprisingly stealthy backing away.
Indeed
Senior. Youre not trying to run away, are you?
N-no.
However, the golem seniors eyes were wandering far away, searching for Professor Paselette.
Originally, such ominous fortune should have been handled by a professor!
Im still far from ready. I should have run when the professor sensed danger and collapsed.
The golem senior finally gained wisdom.
True wisdom lay in pretending to be crazy and lying down.
Of course, Lee Han didnt let his senior escape. He rushed over and clung to him.
Senior. The dangers regarding Guest Star Arna are actually quite exaggerated. Many of the records are old, so many have been lost and many are exaggerated.
If what remains after being lost is that much, it doesnt seem exaggerated at all
If you dont help me, Ill come find you every day.
Junior. Ill do my best to squeeze out wisdom. Please trust me!
The golem senior was startled and looked at the drawing again.
More dangerous than interpreting the prophecy of a junior who contracted with Arna was having that junior visit him every day.
Now. Lets see Youre wearing a crown. Crowns usually symbolize victory and glory, power and authority, immortality. I think you might win a confrontation and seize power. If its the principals power, then the principal of this very territory
This is actually miniature world magic.
Lee Han explained in an apologetic voice.
Anyone could see that modest crown was Basilios Pocket Dimension magic.
The golem senior looked at Lee Han with eyes that said why are you doing this to me?
Interesting.
!
At the voice from behind, Lee Han jumped up. Befitting a junior trained as a swordsman, the height was extraordinary. The golem senior was amazed watching Lee Han jump almost to the ceiling.
Did he cast enhancement magic?
Master, have you arrived!
Your voice is loud. Show proper etiquette.
Master, have you arrived.
The Insane Doppelganger narrowed his eyes.
It seemed like he was judging whether his disciple was being rebellious or not.
Fortunately, the Insane Doppelganger seemed to judge that Lee Han was just flustered, not acting arrogantly.
Is this the disciples prophecy?
Yes
Hmm.
The Insane Doppelganger carefully looked down at the drawing made with black powder.
The two students held their breath and only exchanged glances.
Senior. If you have any secret magic, nows the time to use it.
If I had such a thing, I would have been a professor!
Ive seen the drawing well. Youll need to be careful.
Yes?
Lee Han simultaneously felt the urge to ask what kind of caution was needed and the urge not to ask.
Could there have been a custom in the ancient kingdom era of preemptively dunking disciples who tried to dunk their masters?
Times up. Arent you moving to the next lecture?
The Insane Doppelganger asked while checking the time. Lee Han nodded with a bewildered expression.
I do have a next lecture
Then lets move.
***
A madman is most frightening when acting normally.
While walking down the corridor with the Insane Doppelganger, Lee Han felt deep fear.
His opponent hadnt said anything.
He didnt give his usual nonsensical scolding like Disciple, why do you only do what the royalty instructed about fortune-telling by watching comet movements? You should have completed the miniature world too, nor did he get angry saying How dare you try to confront royalty.
He just walked quietly, lost in thought.
That sight was so unfamiliar that Lee Han almost forgot he was heading to Professor Verduss lecture hall.
Originally, he should have been excited and thrilled about the fact that he was bringing the Insane Doppelganger to find Professor Verdus
Master?
For what reason do you address royalty?
You seemed lost in thought.
Do you perhaps know that as a disciple, you should properly interrupt when your master is meditating?
The Insane Doppelganger looked at his disciple with a mixture of absurdity and contempt.
When the familiar gaze returned, Lee Han sighed in relief.
Thank goodness. I was worried.
Have you lost your mind? What nonsense are you?
As his disciple spouted consecutive nonsense, the Insane Doppelganger expressed bewilderment.
Oh right. Youll be satisfied with the lecture were going to now, Master.
Whether the Insane Doppelganger sent suspicious glances about his disciples madness or not, the relieved Lee Han talked about the lecture.
Originally, Lee Han didnt need to attend the Staff Materials and Magic Amplification lecture.
He had essentially finished up to the final exam by completing his staff, and Professor Verdus didnt really care whether Lee Han came or not. He might not even care about showing up to his own lecture.
But Lee Han moved toward the lecture hall with an excited heart. It was the first time he felt such joy.
Going to meet Professor Verdus is this enjoyable.
<>That royalty will be satisfied. Does that mean its such a high-level lecture?Yes! If thats not the case, you may punish the professor.
Ha. You, my disciple, need to learn humility from the beginning. Overconfidence is a bad habit. Since youve said that much, there will be no mercy in the royal judgment!
The Insane Doppelganger scolded his disciples arrogant boasting.
Having said that much, there would be not a single point of mercy in the evaluation.
If the standards werent met, that professor would also be punished.
Good. Professor! Im here!
Bang!
Lee Han kicked open the lecture hall door and entered.
The upperclassmen were bewildered by the excitement they could feel in that voice.
Did they hear wrong?
Wardanaz, you didnt mistake the lecture, did you?
Why does he seem excited?
Ive always been excited every time I enter the lecture hall.
Hes finally gone insane!
The upperclassmen were horrified.
Students from other schools judged that the Divination Magic School had finally driven Wardanaz insane.
Well, thats not strange.
Master. Please come in.
?
The students looked at the person entering from behind.
Professor Verdus, who had been looking at his artifact regardless of whether students were in front or whether Lee Han had entered, also glanced forward due to some inexplicable animal instinct.
And screamed.
Eek!
?!
When Professor Verdus, who wouldnt notice even if the lecture hall collapsed while concentrating on his work, suddenly screamed, the students were startled.
Whats wrong?
Go, Gonadaltes!
Its not the Principal, but his doppelganger.
Ah!
Professor Verdus let out a heavy sigh with his beaver beastmans characteristically cute face.
I thought you came because I was teaching carelessly!
At least he knows.
Lee Han and the students glared at Professor Verdus.
It wasnt just the students who became excited when the Skeleton Principal wasnt at Einroguard. People like Professor Verdus also became very happy.
Normally, he would have taught half-heartedly while worrying about the punishment room, but now he could openly slack off.
Wait. If its a doppelganger, why are you here?
Professor Verdus, who had been relieved, belatedly realized something was strange.
If it was the Insane Doppelganger, he should be kidnapping Wardanaz, so why was he wandering around Einroguards lecture halls?
He wants to observe the lecture.
Why?
Professor Verdus asked Lee Han.
Lee Han looked at his master.
Then the Insane Doppelganger cast an ice-cold gaze at the professor.
Does royalty need to ask for your permission?
No, no please please come in. Feel free to listen.
The Insane Doppelganger was identical to Gonadaltes, but strictly speaking, there were differences.
Even if Gonadaltes got angry, he wouldnt kill Verdus, but the Insane Doppelganger might.
Then Ill start the lecture
Professor Verdus glanced around nervously, then began touching his artifact again.
The students also silently resumed configuring their staffs.
?
The Insane Doppelgangers eyes widened at this novel lecture he had never seen even during the ancient kingdom era.
What on earth is this?
Didnt you say this was a lecture?
Yes.
Where is there any teaching here?
You just watch the professors work over there and steal from it.
The Insane Doppelganger was silent for a moment.
Then immediately swung his hand.
Eek!
Professor Verdus threw his body as if he had been prepared since the moment he saw the doppelganger.
If you were an Einroguard professor, you had to prepare for battle the moment you saw Gonadaltes face.
Click!
The miniature world inside the glass cube necklace, the Magnum Opus, tried to activate.
However, the Insane Doppelganger was anticipating his opponents reaction. He wouldnt have qualified as a survivor from ancient times if he thought a mage of Verdus caliber would just submit quietly.
Masterpieces turn to lead.
Along with the incantation, Professor Verdus miniature world was canceled outright.
The beaver beastmans large, cute eyes shook with shock. Even though he hadnt prepared his unique world, for his miniature world to be canceled in one strike like this.
He had grasped the composition of a miniature world he had never properly seen and cast counter-magic.
And with an incantation at that!
Li, Liberum Veto!
Click!
Professor Verdus squeaked as he tried to activate the second miniature world magic hidden in the heel of his boot.
It was his second miniature world prepared against strong enemies like Ragesa, and his last lifeline.
Cause and effect shall be reversed.
!
Professor Verdus was horrified to see that the artifact containing his second miniature world magic was in his opponents grasp instead of activating in his own hands.
It had moved there naturally, as if it had been the opponents treasure from the beginning.
The criminal shall be imprisoned!
And Professor Verdus was completely disarmed and hung upside down.
All his artifacts and magic were neutralized at once and lost their power.
Vermin-like bastard.
The Insane Doppelganger looked at Professor Verdus as if looking at a hamster.
Despite having already committed several acts of impudence regarding his disciples escape and other matters, he had been generously forgiven, yet he turned out to be such a shameless bastard.
Waaaaaaaaah!
Long live the Principals Doppelganger!!!
The students knocked over desks and chairs, stood up, and applauded. Even the Divination Magic School students slowly clapped.
?!
