Chapter 148

“Indeed, it is.”

“?!”

Yoner was taken aback by Lee Han’s reaction.

It was the first time in my life that the undead had to rest.

Could there be such a change in the world of black magic without Yoner knowing?

“If you were to stand guard, how would you stand?”

Hmmm… I guess I’ll have to pick a few from each tower and let them roam at night.

‘No matter how much I think about it, it’s not a very useful method.’

Lee Han did not think that just because a few freshmen were roaming around at night, he would be able to find and catch the intruders.

Rather, it seemed to be caught in reverse.

“Isn’t that a bit dangerous?”

don’t worry too much Even if a situation arises, all of the summoned beasts can respond.

‘I heard that the undead need to rest…’

The headmaster immediately denied what he had just said, but Lee Han answered without wavering.

“Is that so?”

‘The skeleton headmaster might be more dangerous.’

He was the one who made magic firecrackers that he would shoot or use at students.

It felt very suspicious to somehow force freshmen to take a walk at night.

“You’d better be careful.”

“huh?”

After the skeleton headmaster went back, Lee Han muttered, and Yoner looked at him with a puzzled look.

It’s monitoring intruders, so of course you have to be careful.

“yes? Because we don’t know which of the intruders might be…”

“No. Not the intruders, but the principal.”

“……”

* * *

Nilia gripped her bow and moved on. The steps were quite light.

Surprisingly, the students in the other towers readily accepted the skeleton principal’s words to patrol at night.

A student like Lee Han had the mindset of ‘anytime I want to go out, that time is the time to go out’, with or without permission, but in fact, quite a few students didn’t go out well after the evening.

Rules are rules, so they are reluctant.

But since they allowed me to walk around legally, I couldn’t help but feel excited.

In comparison, Ratford’s expression following Nilia was serious.

“what’s the matter?”

“You shouldn’t underestimate the thieves. They may be hiding at any time and looking for an opportunity to steal.”

As a professional thief, Ratford reacted very sensitively to the headmaster’s comment that “during the spring festival, thieves might enter the school.”

Aren’t thieves playing with their hands whenever they get a chance?

“It wasn’t quite like that…?”

Nilia tilted her head.

If it was that serious, I don’t think the headmaster would have asked the students to go on patrol.

“Aren’t you telling me to go around just in case you don’t know? Do you want to feel the festive mood?”

“Certainly… I’d be glad if that was the case.”

Ratford nodded.

The festival was not just a festival of laughing and chatting and enjoying the event.

Preparing for the festival, patrolling, and preparing for thieves was one of the ways to enjoy the festival.

It was the same when Ratford was in the city.

People enjoyed preparing for the festival more than the festival.

“yes? It won’t be very dangerous.”

“yes. It reminds me of the old days.”

“Wow… have you ever prepared for a festival?”

Neilia looked at Ratford enviously.

I am not ashamed of being born and raised in the mountains, but there were times when I was envious of people from cities.

It was at a time like this.

While students born and raised in the city enjoyed various festivals and entertainment in the city, Nelia chased the prey up and down the mountain with a bow!

“yes.”

“How was it?”

“Enjoyed. I was able to make a lot of money thanks to checking loopholes while preparing.”

“……”

Nilia decided to pretend not to hear.

“excuse me. I see a light over there Let’s go.”

“yes.”

Nylia saw a light in the distance and stepped over to check it out.

‘Are they other top students?’

Neither Nelia nor Ratford were too worried because they could see the light.

It wasn’t too far from the tower, and it wasn’t an ordinary intruder with the lights on like that. What kind of intruder would act so drastically?

That must be another top student…

-■■■■■!

“That… Griffon!!! Ratford! Dodge back!”

“!!!”

Nylia immediately loaded her bow with an arrow and prepared to shoot.

It’s a griffon!

I couldn’t believe it.

To think that monsters that are hard to see even in the mountains could be found in the grounds of this magic school.

‘I heard that all kinds of monsters appear, but it’s too much!’

Nylia observed the griffon without rushing to shoot. If I rushed to shoot because I was scared for nothing, I only provoked the opponent.

If the opponent doesn’t intend to attack this side, it’s better to just skip it…

“Nilia. grow! calm down!”

“Whoa… Wodanaz?”

Nylia was confused when she heard a familiar voice from the griffon.

“okay.”

“Did you transform into a griffon?!”

“…look behind the griffon!”

Embarrassed, Nilia finally realized that there were two friends behind the griffon.

It was hidden from view by the griffon’s large size.

“ah…!”

‘Did you transform into a griffon? What did you usually think of me?’

Lee Han thought that to himself and greeted Nilia. Ratford, who had fallen down due to loss of strength in his legs, hurriedly stood up.

“Um… that one?”

“Calm down. Because I can explain it.”

“Did you transform a horse into a griffon?!”

At Ratford’s words, Nilia looked at Lee Han in surprise.

no way?!

Lee Han firmly shook his head.

“no.”

“Isn’t it? Of course I thought so…”

* * *

After the skeleton headmaster went back, Lee Han, who had finished checking the surroundings, brought out the phone league.

Then, along with Yoner, he carefully administered the potion.

-You said you can’t completely lift the curse, right?

-huh. He said that if it returns to its original state after a while, it is because the power of the curse is stronger than that of the potion, so it cannot be completely lifted.

-Why did you curse so strong… No. It wouldn’t make any sense if I asked.

pop!

-……

Returning from the horse to the griffon after the curse was lifted, Ponrig glared at Lee Han and Yoner with resentful eyes.

It was ‘what did I say’ in his eyes.

Yoner, who saw that, whispered as if he was worried.

– You said that the griffon was a very ferocious and tyrannical monster, but isn’t it attacking you?

– But Yoner. I’ve heard that once a gryphon is loyal, it’s always loyal.

– But we kept doubting.

– Mmm. That makes sense. Shall we distance ourselves?

-■■■■! ■■■■!!

The griffon roared violently in protest and hit the ground with its paws.

– Phone League. misunderstood Because I believe in you.

-……

Griffin glared at Lee Han with eyes filled with sadness and resentment.

Lee Han had to brush hard to appease the griffon.

That’s how the friends appeared when Griffon relieved his sorrow a little.

“I see… Wasn’t Wardanaz-sama transformed, but the professor?”

“…I don’t know where to start pointing this out…”

Nilia blurted out her words in a puzzled way.

Even Professor Lightning Walk, who seemed fine, was doing something like that.

Who the hell should I trust?

Neilia or not, Lee Han said to the two Black Turtle Tower students.

“Both of you, if the principal says something, don’t go near it. Especially if you try to set off magic firecrackers, avoid them unconditionally.”

“what? okay.”

“yes. I will avoid it.”

The two friends who grew up in a dangerous environment accepted the warning and thought about it.

You can ask why later.

“Are you guys patrolling in the Black Turtle Tower?”

“yes. He said you could go around the tower.”

“I’m glad.”

“?”

Nilia was surprised by Lee Han’s words.

“Did the intruders really come in dangerously many times?”

“no. We caught one intruder earlier.”

“?!”

“The principal is more dangerous than that.”

“?!!”

“What did you two do at the festival?”

I was more curious about the story that the principal was in danger, but Nilia answered the question first.

“Help with alchemy and went to an archery match…”

“I was asked about a good place to hide the treasure.”

‘Really everyone is enjoying the festival except for me.’

Lee Han was sad, but immediately made up his mind.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have fun with friends?

“You were asked about a good place to hide your treasure? What church did you do it in?”

Yoner asked curiously.

“The principal did it.”

“…what?”

“The headmaster asked about good places to hide the treasure…”

“Didn’t he say anything else?”

“You said you were looking for treasure.”

“……”

Lee Han’s expression became serious.

There’s no way he’d enjoy a normal treasure hunt with the headmaster’s personality…

‘How many traps are he trying to set?’

* * *

The next day.

Before the festival started again, Lee Han went to Professor Lightning Walk early in the morning.

“professor. The horse I am riding looks like a griffon.”

Professor Lightning Walk nodded with a heavy expression.

“You found out sooner than I thought.”

“…why did you do that?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to meet a griffon that has turned into a horse and learn how to deal with it than to learn how to deal with a real griffon later?”

“Oh…”

Lee Han, who tried to understand for a moment, came to his senses.

Come to think of it, I don’t really need to learn how to deal with griffons.

‘You’re talking bullshit with a solemn expression.’

Lee Han was not fooled by such things.

“Is that so?”

“You don’t seem to be very convinced, do you?”

“no. I got it. By the way, professor. I have a question.”

“Tell me.”

“Wouldn’t magic get in the way if I rode a griffon around the main building here?”

As Lee Han was quick-witted, he had guessed to some extent.

Why would there be a stable for flying animals on the high spire of the main building of the Magic School?

It was because there was a certain path in the sky of the magic school.

If you try to escape by flying up another way, all sorts of magic will come flying.

“I guess so.”

Professor Lee Han’s inner thoughts were clearly visible.

As soon as he knew it was a griffon, he tried to escape by riding it.

I was a bastard.

“I think it will be difficult to avoid that now at my level.”

“yes.”

Professor Lightningstep nodded.

There were dozens of spells on it, and it was unreasonable for Lee Han to destroy them all.

Before that, an alarm will go off and other professors will fly in.

“Perhaps we should find a place with a path connected to the outside, like a spire stable.”

“…!”

Professor Lightning Walk gave goosebumps for the first time in a long time.

‘How on earth?!’

As it is one of the places where guests from outside come in, the Spire Stable was connected with an unobstructed skyway through magic.

But no matter how it is, freshmen have already figured it out.

“right. amazing To find it already…”

“Then, Professor, please tell me another place.”

Lee Han proudly demanded.

Professor Lightning Walk was bewildered.

“what?”

“The Spire Stables is a place I already know, so please point me to another path that doesn’t have enchantments in the way.”

“……”

Lightning Strike Professor was at a loss for words.

what kind of guy is this?

But shamelessness was also one of the wizard’s talents.

And what the boy in front of him did was certainly worthy of praise.

‘Well, since I figured out the identity of the griffon…’

It was Professor Lightning Step himself, but honestly, I still wondered how he figured it out.

Lee Han spoke again before the professor opened his mouth.

“If the professor doesn’t tell me, I’ll tell the guests from outside about Griffin’s business.”

“…Take out the paper. I will tell you only one place.”

The lightning-walking professor had no choice but to admit that his student was really formidable than he thought.
