Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 039

It has been said that when a person loses one sense, other senses develop more to compensate.

But even taking that into account, the storage keeper’s sense was surprising.

Catch Lee Han and Ratford when they can’t see.

‘ear? no. Didn’t make a sound. smell? Anyway, there’s a lot of junk here. Could it be… Do you have the ability to detect magical power?’

While Lee Han was contemplating whether to confront or run away, the warehouse keeper opened his mouth again.

“You were the principal. Excuse me.”

“…???”

The warehouse keeper didn’t even come close, he just turned and walked away.

Ratford was terrified and half-stunned, but Lee Han focused on grasping the situation.

what?

‘Why did you mistook me for that crazy skeleton headmaster?’

If you were another student, you would have failed to overcome the pressure and acted out of the blue or made a mistake in a situation you didn’t understand.

However, Lee Han persistently thought about it.

‘It’s because of magic!’

The ability to detect magical powers.

It made sense if the warehouse keeper found Lee Han and Ratford hiding earlier because of his ability to detect magical powers.

As the professors said, Lee Han’s magical power is incredibly high.

When detected by the blind warehouse keeper, there was a possibility that it felt similar to the principal’s magical power.

‘But does this make sense? No matter how much the principal…’

Lee Han didn’t completely believe it, but decided to assume it was so for now.

Because I couldn’t stay here all the time.

“hey. Wake.”

“Uh uh what just happened? how…?”

“It doesn’t matter now.”

There was no time to explain, and Lee Han himself was not very sure.

But to Ratford, it meant something else.

Surprisingly, this Wodanaz boy even prepared a way to trick the storage keeper here!

‘It’s… a giant! This man is a real tycoon!’

At this point, rumors were underestimated.

To think that a freshman has enough magical skills to fool the warehouse keeper.

“I understand.”

“?”

Lee Han was puzzled by the appearance of Ratford suddenly saying honorifics, but he didn’t have time to argue.

“Let’s move. Don’t touch anything here.”

“I see… you could get caught if you touched it, and he was memorizing all the numbers earlier.”

“yes. It even has an alarm spell on it.”

It was heartbreaking that Lee Han couldn’t touch the items piled up in the warehouse.

However, seeing the principal’s evil plan, it was clear that this warehouse was a trap for ignorant new students who had come this far.

I’m sure after about 1 or 2 weeks, there will be guys who somehow managed to get here and get caught and dragged away!

‘Don’t be fooled, keep moving. I have to find a way.’

Instead of obsessing over the warehouse, Lee Han decided to find a passage to the outside.

If you only find a passage to get out…!

“This way!”

Ratford put his ear to the floor and found where the footsteps were coming from.

The horse was a warehouse, and the scale was so large that it almost felt like a huge labyrinth.

In such a situation, Ratford’s ability to capture sounds was invaluable.

“Very good.”

“Ugh. thank you.”

“But why respect…?”

“Follow me.”

Ratford hurried to his feet.

What else can happen if you stay in the warehouse too long!

Lee Han said he was fearless, but Ratford was scared every moment he was here.

‘It must have been this way??’

But Ratford had no choice but to stop with a puzzled look on his face.

I came in the direction I heard the sound, but instead of the passageway, there was only a solid wall.

“Are you sure it was this way?”

“Yes… I did…”

“I think I understand.”

“!?”

Unlike Ratford, who always picked similar locks, Lee Han was from Earth. Thanks to this, the range of imagination is much wider in this situation.

“Look here. There are some hand stains on the walls. If you touch it, it will open.”

“…!”

Ratford was surprised once more.

I was surprised by the secret door that opened in that way, and I was also surprised by the boy from the Wardanaz family who noticed it.

How…!

Drooling!

When I tapped on the burnt parts, the bricks really pushed aside and created a path.

It was a long aisle with no end in sight.

Two carriages were wide enough to pass through, and the glimmering lights on the walls and ceiling convinced me that I had found the right place.

‘at las!’

* * *

There were several rules for the workers at the top who moved the supplies needed by the magic school.

Never tell me how to get into magic school.

Never tell me what you saw at magic school.

Never speak first in magic school.

In addition to these, there were other things such as ‘Be careful not to break the glass bottle when moving it’ and ‘Don’t move the scroll incorrectly’, but the most representative rules were those.

The workers followed those rules more seriously than anyone else.

He didn’t want to break the rules and end up in a wizard’s workshop and turn into a frog.

Not kidding, if you make one mistake, you might be locked up in magic school forever.

That was the scary thing about magic school.

There is a reason why the nearby villagers both respect and fear the magic school.

So when a priest and a beggar appeared on the other side of the aisle, the workers did not say anything.

Well, it appears!

“……”

“……”

Lee Han and Ratford were quite embarrassed.

Wagons located at the end of the aisle and workers eagerly loading and unloading from the wagons.

Even so, the fact that they met so openly was that the workers were deliberately pretending not to see them.

what?

‘Is this a rule?’

Lee Han quickly guessed the situation from the way the workers deliberately avoided their eyes.

There was no way that a place like a magic school wouldn’t have thorough security.

Since they were workers entering such a place, it might have been natural for them not to show unnecessary interest.

‘Let’s stay calm. If I stay calm, the other person won’t know.’

Only a few freshmen succeeded in escaping the school.

Workers look at Lee Han or Ratford and say, ‘Huh? Do the freshmen escape?’ was very unlikely.

As long as

Lee Han doesn’t make mistakes because his feet are tingling…

Lee Han said calmly without changing his expression.

“Can I go out now?”

“sorry. priest. Please wait 30 minutes. We have a little baggage left to carry.”

“All right. May I ride with you?”

“Oops. of course.”

The worker thought Lee Han was very kind and polite like a priest. You could just sit in the top seat of the carriage without saying a word, but I never thought you would ask me like this.

I couldn’t have imagined that Lee Han was a new freshman this time.

Lee Han was too natural and had an air of elegance to be called a newcomer who had just entered.

None of the workers doubted Lee Han.

“……”

Ratford looked at Lee Han with respect.

If they had been subdued by force or magic, they would not have been this respectful.

How can you cheat so naturally and get what you want?

There was no need for long, complicated words or hefty bribes. A true thief could fool people with just his eyes and posture.

‘I’m still far away!’

Ratford was grateful that today had opened his eyes to a new level of stealing.

Sometimes a single practice can teach you more than 10 years of practice.

Now was such a moment.

* * *

Rumbling-

The work was over and the wagons started to depart. Of the six wagons, the one that Lee Han and Ratford rode was the last one.

Even after packing everything, the workers didn’t say a word to me. From that scene, Lee Han felt anew how terrifying this school was.

‘If you can manage outside workers like this…’

When you think of a place for training talented people in the Empire, only a warm and warm image comes to mind, but Lee Han knew that things in the world don’t work that simple.

This magic school was a symbol of the empire and wizards. And whether it was the Empire or the wizards, there were enemies.

How disgusting would this magic school be to such enemies?

Even if you don’t have to go to such an enemy, there will be quite a few people who covet the treasures in this magic school.

In a way, this level of security was natural.

‘Of course, I can’t understand why a freshman is locked up and not allowed to go out.’

No matter how you look at it, it was just the principal’s hobby.

The carriage in front stopped for a moment. Lee Han, puzzled, slightly poked his head out of the carriage.

“…!!!”

Surprisingly, a familiar face was riding in the front carriage.

It was Professor Garcia Kim, the troll.

‘Did I get caught?’

Lee Han felt his heart sink.

But come to think of it, I haven’t been caught yet.

If they had been caught, the carriage would have been surrounded by now, and Lee Han and Ratford would have had to raise their hands and crawl out.

So why did the professor get in that wagon…

‘Damn it. It’s filthy twisted!’

Lee Han guessed what had happened.

Shouldn’t professors go out as much as they are human? It was clear that that day overlapped with the present.

“Outside… outside…?”

“Shh.”

Lee Han gestured to Ratford to manage his expression.

“I haven’t noticed yet. It goes like this. The town is large and it is dark outside, so if you get off carefully, you won’t be noticed.”

At Lee Han’s words, Ratford nodded.

And then I was a little bewildered.

‘But who is the thief?’

Shouldn’t Ratford tell Lee Han about this?

The wagon, which had stopped, started again with a rattling sound.

Lee Han concentrated on remembering as many things as possible.

Even if circumstances arise and fail…

‘I will never give up.’

After Lee Han clenched his fists, he belatedly felt embarrassed.

…While running away from school late in the evening, what are you doing… * *

*

Professor Garcia carefully took the package he received from the principal with both hands.

-If you go outside, the emperor’s courtier will be waiting for you, so give me this completed artifact.

Professor Garcia wasn’t going to play in town right now.

The magic school looks peaceful from the outside, but inside it’s a hot place like a furnace.

It was natural in a way, as they gathered the excellent wizards of the empire in one place.

Making and delivering the artifacts the Emperor wants was one of the things wizards at the magic school had to do…

Professor Garcia was assigned the role of quietly delivering the finished product this time.

People who don’t know how to do it would think, ‘Why do you offer it quietly to the imperial family?’, but that was stupid.

I gave it confidently and loudly, but nothing good came of it.

It only attracts useless flies.

All wizards had to be able to think pragmatically.

Took-

“Hick!”

“Huh!”

When the workers next to Professor Garcia collided slightly, they tensed their whole bodies and straightened their postures.

It’s scary because he’s a professor at a magic school, but he’s even a troll.

It was hard to tell which of the two was more frightening.

Professor Garcia laughed. I saw it every time, but the reaction of the workers was funny every time I saw it.

“…all arms up!”

“??”

Professor Garcia was puzzled by the worker’s cry.

No matter how scared you are, isn’t that too harsh?

“professor! There’s a suspicious guy ahead! Get inside the carriage!”

“…!!”

It was only then that Professor Garcia realized that the atmosphere in front of the road was going strangely.

‘What kind of people are they?!’
