Chapter 173

“Chase!”

“what?!”

“You can’t lose to Wardanaz! Are you thinking of losing even in horseback riding?!”

“But…”

one of the students hesitated.

It was impossible to handle the back if I ran out like that now.

Horses are living creatures.

If you run like that, you’ll get tired quickly…

“Eh! Goes!”

“me too!”

But in the end, the students, one by one, began driving the horses with whips.

No matter which top student, he basically had great pride when it came to horses.

Whether from a noble family, a knight’s family, or a merchant’s guild, he had never heard that he couldn’t ride a horse anywhere.

And…

‘There must be a reason why Wardanaz is running like that!’

‘Wardanaz can’t believe he’s going out of control like that without thinking?’

Students subconsciously believed Lee Han.

Could it be that Lee Han went on a rampage like that without any countermeasures?

Perhaps there is a way.

If they follow the same method…

The students in the lead group started to run like crazy.

Nilia also looked around nervously when she saw her friends leaving.

“?”

Surprisingly, Yoner stayed where he was.

“Yoner? what’s the matter? are you okay?”

Yoner sat on a chestnut-haired horse with a very anxious expression on his face. Nilia didn’t understand.

“Let’s go after it right now! If you chase after me now, I’ll catch up with you right away! I could lasso the others and drop them!”

Nylia was calmly trying to break the rules, but Yoner didn’t point it out.

It was because I had just seen something even more embarrassing.

“It’s not like that…”

Yoner wondered how to explain this. The griffon, who had transformed into a horse, ignored Lee Han’s orders and ran out of control!

* * *

‘Am I paying the price for believing in monsters?’

Perhaps sensing Lee Han’s distrust, the griffon snorted fiercely. Lee Han was soothed.

“It is a misunderstanding. ruler. Try slowing down. I’m afraid you’ll get tired.”

Of course, Lee Han intended to go down and hit the gryphon the moment it slowed down.

Griffin didn’t notice that dark heart, but another part stimulated Griffin’s pride.

I’m not tired!

-Pu hee hee!

Griffin ran even further. It sounded like he had regrets about running after not being able to run for several years.

‘From now on, I must never trust transformed monsters.’

Lee Han held onto the griffon tightly. It ran so fast that Lee Han couldn’t be careless anymore.

If you’re not lucky, even the owner will drop it!

Caw!

A new monster that looked like a ferocious mixture of a crane and a chicken came down from the tree next to it.

‘Rachaljo!’

The appearance of a new monster that was quite aggressive made Lee Han nervous.

But the griffon let out a snort and accelerated further.

bang!

Rachaljo tried to follow as he flew, but he couldn’t help it.

As Griffon widened the distance, Rachaljo, who had been following him, gasped and flew away as if giving up.

“……”

The monsters that appeared were not Rachaljo.

A rock on the side of the road suddenly raised it and swung it menacingly.

Griffin ignored it and ran.

Suddenly, the bridge over the river disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Griffin ignored it and jumped over.

A thick fog obscured the road so that it was impossible to see ahead.

Griffin ignored it and broke through.

“…do as you please.”

Lee Han gave up.

At this point, I was wondering how far it went.

* * *

Blue Dragon Tower 3rd year Perse sighed with a worried look on his face.

Then the friend asked.

“Why is it Perse?”

“All of our strikers are too slow.”

“don’t worry. After they adapt, the horses will also speed up. You have to give the horses time to gain weight.”

“It is not just a matter of words. Jockey is also a problem.”

Perse said firmly.

Speed was not simply determined by the horse’s stamina in Gyeokgu, where several players competed fiercely.

Rather, the courage and skill of the jockey accounted for more.

Even if there are enemies running towards you with a stick, you have to have the spirit to drive the horse with the determination to die

.

“……”

“……”

The wind blew off their hats because of the horse running so fast.

He ran so fast that the monsters blocking his way hurriedly moved out of the way.

“What was the room like? Are you a student? Were you a student?”

“Freshman… looks like a freshman? Freshman exam…”

“That’s it! That’s it!”

Perse shouted with her eyes shining.

That guts that drives me like a madman whether or not there’s a monster in front of me.

That was the spirit a striker should have.

“He’s a freshman, Perse…”

“There’s next year! You can call me next year!”

“There’s no guarantee that he’s interested in the Gyeokgu club.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

“?”

“There’s no way you’re not interested in Gyeokgu when you have that kind of skill!”

* * *

The phone league has finally stopped.

-Puhehehehehehehehehehe!!

“Are you feeling cool?”

Ponrig nodded. Then he wiped off his sweat and leaned his head over to the stream to quench his thirst.

‘You’ve come really far.’

Lee Han checked his surroundings.

I knew the site of the magic school was vast beyond imagination, but I never thought it would come this far.

It ran like crazy along the bottom of the mountain range.

What unfolded before Lee Han’s eyes was the desert.

“…?”

What desert is inside the school grounds?

-Puhihing.

After drinking all the water, Ponrigg said let’s go.

“Phone League.”

-Puhung?

“I will be disappointed in you if you do not return within the time limit.”

-……

The phone league, which ran happily, looked around to see if it had come to its senses from the coolness of Lee Han’s words.

Of course, even if I looked around, I couldn’t have known the surrounding area as a phone league. The phone league started sweating.

…can we get back in time?

“let’s go. Phone League.”

The phone league started running toward full force. It was faster than before.

Lee Han stared straight ahead with his body firmly fixed.

“…?”

I saw a few students stretched out on the side of the road.

‘what?’

At first, I thought he was attacked by a monster, but he seemed perfectly normal.

It was clear that he had just passed out from exhaustion.

‘I don’t understand.’

It’s Lee Han, but the phone league didn’t listen and ran out of control and was dragged in, but other students couldn’t be like that.

It was clear that they ran purely because they were greedy and exhausted themselves.

Lee Han looked at his friends as if he was sorry.

‘It is unavoidable. What happened today must have been a lesson.’

* * *

“…perfect score.”

“thank you.”

“…why?”

The lightning-walking professor impatiently asked.

1st place gets full marks.

It was natural. Professor Lightningwalk had no intention of commenting on this.

However, the fact that the first place went three times as far as the other students and came back (while running fast enough to scatter all the prepared obstacles) was a bit different.

Why did you risk your life so far?

“There are five students who were exhausted while following you, and three students who fell off the horse. It must have been luck that I ran first and chased away all the monsters. It was okay to come back in moderation… did you want to set a new record like that?”

In the eyes of the lightning-walking professor, Lee Han didn’t like to show off like that.

But why are you pushing yourself so hard to set a new record?

Did you want to leave a legend because you were proud of your equestrian skills?

Of course, Lee Han looked at Professor Lightning Step as if he was dumbfounded.

“Isn’t it because the professor said this?”

Who left Griffon over? ‘Why did you set such a new record’?

Even if he was shameless, there was no such shamelessness.

Are you so arrogant because you’re a professor?

Professor Lee Han’s lightning stride replied as boldly as Lee Han thought.

“What nonsense. Griffin doesn’t like to run like that. Even more so, it has been forced into words. I wouldn’t have run if you hadn’t given my order.”

“…?!”

Lee Han was shocked by the professor’s words.

no?!

‘I was a crazy guy because I wanted to run?’

Could it be that Lee Han didn’t give me too many opportunities to prove his abilities?

“I think I ignored him too much. I want to prove my ability…”

Professor Lightning Step listened to Lee Han’s words with a half-confident expression.

It was a bit hard to believe that Griffin was running so hard for just that reason.

“…Really.”

“okay. trust me for once You worked hard, go in and get some rest. I had to take another test, but I had a lot of trouble running like that.”

“The phone league suffered more than me.”

After saying that, Lee Han returned to the starting line and looked at the returning students.

The disfigured students returned one by one and looked at Lee Han in awe.

“Did you see it?”

“I saw it.”

“That bastard… might become the best rider in the Empire…!”

“……”

Lee Han decided to just go rest.

* * *

Some students were suffering from muscle pain, but the magic school did not wait for them.

“I need to get a bone flower for dinner tonight. If you think about how long it will take, today is also on the edge.”

“I think my thighs are burning.”

“I feel like I have a crack in my pelvis…”

Before evening fell, the students of the Blue Dragon Tower gathered on the first basement level muttered with their canes.

The students of the White Tiger Tower laughed when they saw that.

“To say such a thing while riding a horse is quite lacking in discipline…”

“Wodanaz guy… why the hell are you talking like crazy…”

Lee Han ignored his muttering.

“ruler. Everyone knows it’s not good. But now is the time to join forces with those who have learned alchemy. If we don’t secure the ingredients as quickly as possible, we might all fail.”

Magic School’s terrible schedule forced the other top students to cooperate with each other.

Lee Han was planning to gather the students and quickly break through the dungeon, then gather the materials and come out.

If I went in alone to get the ingredients and failed or got hurt, only Lee Han would lose.

“ruler. Everyone take it.”

When Lee Han handed over the basket he had brought from the break room, the White Tiger Tower students were puzzled.

“Is this the magic potion needed to clear the dungeon?”

“no. An evening snack.”

“……”

The White Tiger Tower students removed the cloth that covered the basket. Sandwiches were stacked neatly.

“…uh… uh?”

“what. Any thoughts?”

“Wardanaz. Don’t give it to those who aren’t hungry.”

At Asan’s words, the students of the White Tiger Tower hurriedly waved their hands.

“no! no! I will eat well!”

“okay. If you’re ready, let’s go in.”

Lee Han lined up the students. Due to the topography of the dungeon, it was unreasonable for everyone to gather together and form a formation.

To some extent, each tower had no choice but to gather and work hand in hand.

‘It would be faster for them to move by themselves rather than me ordering them one by one.’

Curious about what kind of sandwich it was, the princess removed the cloth from the basket to check it out.

Lee Han slapped the back of the princess’s hand.

“You should eat later.”

Just like Kainan Island, the imperial family had a lot of gluttony. Lee Han gave a warning and turned around.

“…?!”

The princess looked at Lee Han with eyes mixed with embarrassment, resentment, sadness, and resentment.

However, Lee Han was busy lined up and checking the students, so he couldn’t look back.

“If there is a problem, you have to take care of yourself and respond accordingly. If you think it is dangerous, send a signal and judge for yourself.”

“do not worry. Wodanaz. We are knights.”

The students of the White Tiger Tower held the basket dearly in their arms and said. It was really like a knight.

Tak-

During the final inspection on the 1st basement floor, someone came up from the underground stairs leading to the dungeon.

It was Professor Ballardi.

“…Isn’t it fun to have a picnic on the 1st basement level, everyone? Shall we go back soon?”

“What crazy talk, Wodanaz?”
