Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 163

The White Tiger Tower students and the Black Turtle Tower students had one thing in common.

Regardless of whether they hated Lee Han or were wary of him, they recognized at least one of Lee Han’s magical skills.

Giselle thought to herself.

‘Wodhanaz must be a really great wizard to say that.’

“It is an honor to meet you like this.”

The students of the White Tiger Tower greeted me like knights.

Of course, Baldororn, who felt like he was sitting on a cushion of thorns, did not feel better when he received such a greeting.

Rather, I was more out of breath.

‘They’re knights!?’

It was all the more burdensome for the freshmen, who at first glance seemed to come from a family of knights, to greet them politely.

If he finds out the truth later, he might wield a knife…

“Would you like to go with me?”

At Lee Han’s suggestion, the other top students hesitated.

The Black Tortoise Tower students pondered and nodded, but the White Tiger Tower students did not.

Because there was no money!

“ah. I have no money.”

Lee Han said as if he knew. While the students of the White Tiger Tower were a little hot, Lee Han continued.

“I will lend you.”

“what?”

“I will lend you. Of course, a certain amount of interest…”

“Wodanaz…”

Ang Ra looked at Lee Han in disbelief.

It was a surprisingly generous offer, considering the fact that Vendre, the tower of the Black Turtle, boasted with a few silver coins.

why?

Lee Han felt very burdened at the sight of Angrago looking at him with twinkling eyes.

“Did I say I was giving it away for free? I think he said he would lend it for interest?”

“heard. Wodanaz. … thanks.”

‘Isn’t this kid crazy?’

From the point of view of Lee Han, who did not know what the conversation had been between the White Tiger Tower students and the Black Turtle Tower students before arriving, Angrago’s reaction was inevitably strange.

Why are you impressed by the fact that they lend money at interest?

“That’s right. I’m glad you’re happy.”

Anrago held out his hand for a handshake. Lee Han took a step back and opened up the distance. Anrago lowered his hand with a shy expression.

“Wardanaz… Seeing you makes me feel ashamed for being proud with a few silver coins.”

‘Why is this bastard doing this again?’

When the Black Turtle Tower student spoke to him with a convinced expression on his own, Lee Han became even more absurd.

What happened before you came?

“I didn’t know what honor the great noble families were talking about, but that’s what they were talking about.”

“What conversation did you have before coming?”

“I didn’t believe it, but to see it with my own two eyes.”

“What conversation did you have before coming…”

“I have no choice but to admit it…”

“Are you right? Can you just tell me?”

“Why why? Wodanaz?”

After a while.

‘no. I should have paid more interest.’

After listening to the detailed explanation of the situation and understanding, Lee Han suddenly felt sorry for him.

Did such a thing happen!

Wouldn’t the White Tiger Tower accept even if they paid more interest?

“Here.”

The shop with the signboard “The Glow Demon’s Tangled Treasure” had a rather dubious and gloomy appearance.

To the extent that if only the students were together, I would not have entered, thinking, ‘Why do we go to a place like this?’

However, the gathered students had no doubts.

“Because it was the place that Lord Baldororn wanted to go to.”

“Because it was introduced by a wizard who said that Wodanaz was so great.”

“Of course you can trust it.”

“Let’s go in!”

‘…It’s cheap, so I go there often…’

* * *

The owner of < The Luminous Ghost's Tangled Treasure Pile > has never seen so many freshmen outside of a magic school in his life.

…No, in the first place, it was absurd for the magic school students to drop by here < Night Demon's Tangled Treasure Pile >.

‘Why are you here?’

Item artifacts with semi-permanent magic were quite expensive even in the empire.

As such, when people bought artifacts, they didn’t buy them anywhere.

It is to live after receiving confirmation from the well-known wizard’s workshop.

But not everyone was looking for such a safe and secure artifact.

Damaged or half-shattered artifacts, artifacts exported during experiments or research, artifacts that fail to reach their original goal, and so on.

You may wonder why you are looking for these artifacts, but the reason is simple.

Because it’s cheap!

There were more people who didn’t have money but needed artifacts than expected. And the place where such people stopped by was < The Night Ghost's Tangled Treasure Pile >.

A place that specializes in buying and selling used broken and incomplete artifacts.

Only adventurers stop by. Why do magic school students stop by here?

“and. Anything special?”

“What kind of cloak is this? It seems to be enchanted.”

“It’s unusual because it’s a place that Lord Baldororn frequents.”

Valdororn’s face flushed red.

“Everyone… please lower your voice…”

While the students were talking, Lee Han strode between the shops and approached the counter.

The owner was obviously nervous when a boy from a noble family approached.

‘I’m sure it’s not about picking up some absurd fault, right?’

The adventurers who stop by here didn’t have any accidents as they knew what this store was like.

However, the students of the magic school were different.

Since he was from one of the leading families in the empire, he would be dark in the world, and since he was a student learning from Einrogard, he could turn this place upside down if he wanted to.

The owner was very nervous.

‘Please don’t buy it. Please…’

“Hello.”

“Hello… good evening.”

Lee Han lowered his head and lowered his voice. Then the attitude of the owner naturally lowered.

“Maybe…”

“?”

“Looking at this, it looks like you’re also buying incomplete artifacts. How much would you pay for this?”

“……”

At the student’s words, the host involuntarily raised his head to check Lee Han’s face.

‘I’m from a real noble family… is that right?’

* * *

Lee Han sold obscure artifacts such as the Cloak of Protection (it blocks blades with a half chance anyway, so Lee Han decided to just block them with magic) and the Lesser Stealth Boots, and exchanged them for money.

Once again, I couldn’t help but admire Baldororn.

‘Do you know a place that pays such a good price? Truly an excellent wizard.’

As his pockets became more abundant, Lee Han’s heart became more abundant.

Just as the other students were already looking around, Lee Han set out to find a useful artifact.

“You seem to know, but can I ask you a few questions?”

“…yes.”

‘no?!’

Valdororn was surprised inwardly.

The owner of < The Luminous Ghost's Tangled Treasure Pile > was famous for being harsh and blunt.

When Baldororn asks something, the person who used to scold him by saying, ‘If you’re going to keep asking me, go somewhere else’, is still answering Lee Han’s questions.

‘Does it discriminate against people!?’

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand. Even if Baldororn was the owner, he would have answered Lee Han’s question.

It was because the aura he exuded from other students was different.

…and brought back useful artifacts.

“Isn’t there any way to avoid the eyes of the Archmage or find out the movement in advance, Headmaster Sun…?”

“There’s no way such an artifact could be here.”

“Well… Then, what about the artifact that detects intruders in advance? Or an artifact that subdues intruders…”

The owner gradually began to get confused whether Lee Han was a student from a noble family or a gangster who was a townsman.

Are you trying to rob a mansion?

“What kind of magic is this pocket watch?”

While looking through the artifacts, Lee Han was puzzled when he saw a silver pocket watch with a slight crack in the glass.

It didn’t feel like magic at all.

Could it be that the magic is so high level that Lee Han can’t detect it?

“There is no magic. It’s just a pocket watch.”

“ah.”

Lee Han was slightly embarrassed.

Well, even if it was just a pocket watch, it was a valuable enough item. Being able to accurately measure time was itself an artifact.

Valdororn said cautiously.

“Looks like you got some silver coins thanks to the artifact you sold earlier… How about buying them? A pocket watch in such good condition will be very hard to find once you miss it.”

“indeed. If Lord Valdororn says so…”

“No no. I didn’t mean it with such a deep meaning!”

Baldororn hurriedly changed his words, but Lee Han had already understood them in his own way.

‘Certainly… there must be many things that need to be accurately measured in the future.’

Alchemy, of course, as the level of magic goes up, the difficulty of learning will increase.

There was no way the magic school would give you a pocket watch, so it wasn’t bad to prepare in advance.

“thank you. Valdororn’s advice has been helpful.”

“Now that I think about it, I might not need that much, but…”

Lee Han bought a pocket watch despite his pitiful voice.

Seeing this, the owner tilted his head.

‘Why do you listen to Valdororn so much?’

The students of the magic school must be more skilled than Baldor Orn…?

Putting the pocket watch in his coat, Lee Han looked around at the other artifacts. I noticed the blunt dagger hanging on the wall exuding strange energy.

“Don’t go near there!”

“Why?”

“A monster that absorbs mana. If you touch it incorrectly, it will absorb your mana and you may collapse or become a crippled person…”

“Aha.”

“?!?”

Despite the warning, Lee Han just grabbed the dagger, and the owner was horrified.

It was too much for a magic school student.

‘how?!’

However, a more surprising thing happened after Lee Han grabbed the dagger.

…Even though he picked up the dagger that had already stunned and bled several adventurers, the student at the Magic School was fine.

“it’s okay. You don’t have to worry.”

‘oh my god!’

The owner was shocked once again.

I had heard many times that Ein Rogard was the best among the Imperial Magic Schools, but seeing it like this was a new shock.

No matter how much it is, freshmen are like this…

It was clear that the school was really full of monsters.

“How much is this?”

“Cursed items receive only one silver coin unconditionally. Otherwise, I won’t buy it.”

“no. So… are there any more cursed items?”

Baldororn, who was watching, suddenly felt strange.

‘Shouldn’t I ask about the effect first?’

You can’t buy it just because it’s cheap, right?

* * *

“It was really helpful.”

“It’s all thanks to Valdororn.”

All the freshmen of the four towers surrounded Valdororn and thanked him.

Valdororn hid his weary expression and gave a quick nod.

“It’s nothing, folks. It was really fun to meet you all. Don’t ever say that you learned from me somewhere…”

“Yes.”

“of course!”

“I’ll see you on my next outing…”

Baldororn hurriedly ran away without looking back.

The students admired the cool appearance of the wizard without regret.

That’s a wizard!

“Lee Han. what did you buy?”

“A watch and a dagger. The other cursed items are a little less cursed.”

“…Curses aren’t really that great??”

While Gainando was puzzled, Lee Han prepared to head to the Amur Stables.

Yoner asked anxiously.

“Is it okay if I tell you the truth?”

“are you okay. He is a person who speaks well.”

“okay?”

Yoner was puzzled as he followed.

No matter how well I communicate, I would be surprised if I said that I saved a griffon…

* * *

“Nice to meet you! Did you get something to ride?”

“yes!”

“Good work! Which one did you save?”

“It’s a griffon.”

“……”

Kung!

Amour literally fell backwards. Yihan exclaimed in embarrassment.

“Are you okay?!”
