It was absurd, but Lee Han decided to solve the problem he faced.
If left alone, all three groups of students could have gone to the punishment room amicably.
Sure enough, the White Tiger Tower students and the Black Turtle Tower students had already spotted each other and were growling.
â What are you guys! We came first!
-Where is the first and last to do something like this!
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
âThose unprofessionals.â
If youâre here to steal, you have to be professional, keep your voice down and stay calm. Do you fight emotionally?
âEveryone calm down.â
Lee Han stepped forward to stop him.
âUgh!â
âItâs⦠a thief!â
The students of the White Tiger Tower and the Black Turtle Tower reacted violently when they saw Lee Han.
âDo you think they are not thieves?â
Lee Han was dumbfounded, but there was a reason why the other top students were surprised.
The clothes of Lee Han and his friends were really thoroughly like thieves.
The students of the White Tiger Tower and the Black Turtle Tower were wearing masks roughly cut out of cloth and wrapped around their faces, so it was easy to tell who was who by staring at them.
On the other hand, Lee Han and his friends were wearing masks and coats that thoroughly covered their faces with the knowledge they had learned through experience, Ratfordâs advice, and the fabrics they bought from outside.
â¦It wouldnât be strange to say that he was a real thief from outside.
âCalm down. We came for the same purpose as you.â
âWhoa⦠Wodanaz?â
âno. How did know?â
Lee Han changed his voice, but was surprised when the other person understood.
âThe only one who would steal this thoroughly is Wordanazâ¦â
âThere seems to be a misunderstanding. I am not Wordanaz.â
Although he was shy, the other top students didnât seem to believe it. It was already half-assured. Lee Han was just embarrassed.
âListen. The purpose of all the students gathered here now is to enter this gaksugwan. Even if we fight each other, it will only attract the attention of those around us.â
At Lee Hanâs words, the other top students also nodded.
Certainly, they couldnât even get into the Gaksu Hall, but there was nothing good about arguing with each other.
âSo letâs work together.â
ââ¦i get it.â
âgood night.â
All agreed, but not all problems were resolved.
The companionship of the three groups was just the beginning.
âWho will lead the way?â
ââ¦we will stand behind.â
âDonât bullshit! Where are you going to stand behind alone!â
The White Tiger Tower students and the Black Turtle Tower students immediately collided.
Since it was a job to enter the professorâs workshop, it was advantageous to enter from the back.
âBe quite. I will decide.â
Lee Han said this, but the other top students did not accept it easily.
âWhat are you, Wodanaz?â
âWhy should we accept your orders? I said Iâd cooperate, Iâll be your subordinateâ¦â
Lee Han raised his cane and aimed at it.
A chilly silence filled the students.
âI will decide.â
ââ¦that⦠yes.â
âKeep in mind. Wodanaz. I accepted it not because of your threats, but because there is nothing good about fighting here.â
When the fight stopped, Lee Han said.
âWe will be at the forefront.â
â!?â
Naturally, the other top students couldnât help but be surprised.
why?
âItâs okay⦠are you okay?â
âokay. Because we are the only ones who know the way.â
ââ¦â¦â
The other tower students looked at me with astonished eyes.
When will these children�!
âYou guys decide the middle and the back.â
As soon as Lee Han said anything, the students of the White Tiger Tower and the Black Turtle Tower started fighting again.
Lee Han straightened up and aimed his cane.
â⦠Letâs decide with rock, paper, scissors.â
âRock-paper-scissors is good. Itâs good.â
* * *
The place Lee Han and his friends were aiming for was the greenhouse on the second floor of Gaksu Hall.
There was a flower garden with thistles growing there.
âThe advantage is that it can be solved without having to go to the third floor.â
The 3rd floor of each water hall is like a maze to the unqualified.
Lee Han came today because he had the confidence to finish quietly on the second floor.
âEye, pierce the darkness.â
The dark hallway on the first floor of Gaksu Hall turned green, revealing its hidden side to Lee Han.
ââ¦â¦â
The White Tiger Tower student did not ask Lee Han, who was memorizing the dark vision spell, âWhen, where and how did you learn that magic?â
If it was Wodanaz, it could have been enough.
He knows all kinds of evil mysteries even before entering schoolâ¦!
âfor a moment. But where is the potion you guys are looking for?â
Lee Han stopped and asked.
Come to think of it, I had to calculate the movements of the students in the White Tiger Tower and the Black Turtle Tower.
âI heard itâs on the first floor⦠somewhere.â
âMaybe itâs somewhere on the first floorâ¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han and Ratford both looked at each other pathetically.
You came here with such careless preparation.
âokay. It couldnât have been helped if there wasnât enough information.â
âLooks like he just looked at us very pathetically.â
âThen search the first floor. We will go up to the second floor.â
âokay. Iâll do that.â
Lee Han and his friends nodded and distanced themselves from the students inside.
As we climbed the stairs, a vast botanical garden with a familiar shape greeted the party.
It was much quieter and more peaceful in the botanical garden at night, probably because it wasnât a rampaging mad bull like last time.
âIâm rather anxious because nothing happensâ¦â
âUh huh. Donât say ominous things.â
Lee Han warned Nilia.
It was normal for it to end so quietly and peacefully.
âThere is a flower garden.â
The students rushed in and began carefully plucking the thistles.
Lee Han looked around and prepared for any unexpected situations.
âThere is no Professor Thunderwalk, and there is no Professor Willow Tree. Itâll be all right.â
âAre you done? Letâs get out!â
Lee Han and his friends clenched their fists and quietly swallowed their joy.
Compared to being nervous, I finished the work close to perfection.
Ratford nodded knowingly.
The pleasure of perfect stealing can only be known by those who have tried it.
Ratfordâs heart was proud to see his friends who started as novice thieves and gradually grew up.
bang!
ââ¦â¦â
But that joy disappeared as soon as I came down to the first floor.
All kinds of commotion was going on on both sides of the hallway with a deafening roar.
âAre you crazy?â
âThis⦠these amateurs!â
Ratford also stuttered, probably embarrassed. Lee Han quickly moved to check the situation.
âWhat are you doing? Everyone, wake up!â
Despite Lee Hanâs cry, the students did not listen.
He threw a chair in the lecture hall while laughing as if he was drunk.
Wow Jangchang!
âArenât you drinking something wrong?â
âI wouldnât be that stupid!â
Even if the other top students were amateur thieves, they wouldnât have drunk anything carelessly.
Lee Han felt a sweet scent emanating from the inside of the open classroom door.
It was not an ordinary scent. It was a magical scent.
At that moment, lightning struck Lee Hanâs head.
âEverybody hold your breath!â
â!â
Come to think of it, it was strange that there was such a thing as a potion that makes you dance well or a potion that makes you good at music that you can take with you.
Also on the 1st floor of the Gaksukwan!
âProfessor Thunderwalk might have dug a trap by joining hands with another professor!â
It sounded like nonsense, but Lee Hanâs intuition signaled that the possibility was high.
This magic school was a place where it was possible.
After hearing the explanation, Yoner whispered as if he didnât understand.
âBut⦠the thistle didnât have a trap, right?â
ââ¦Professor Thunderstruck might have forgottenâ¦â
Lee Han said with a lack of confidence.
In fact, Lee Han was most curious about that.
Why did he set traps for potions needed for other lectures and not set traps for potions needed for his own lectures?
Did I really ask you to take it?
The answer is that time is running out, and who would try to solve it by stealing?
âokay. Wodanaz. Letâs get out anyway.â
Nilia said urgently.
Whether that was a trap or a mistake by the other top students, one thing was certain.
Thereâs nothing good about staying here for long.
When you make a fuss like that, what will happenâ¦
âNo. I have to take him out.â
âWhy Wordanaz?â
Asan was surprised and asked.
Then, as if he knew, he clapped his palm.
âI asked a stupid question. Honorâ¦â
âIf you leave it there, our names will be called.â
ââ¦Still, do you have some honor?â
Lee Han pretended not to hear what Asan said and ignored it.
âI have to keep quiet for now.â
âWhat are you going to do?â
Yoner was puzzled.
The students must have smelled the scent of frenzy or mayhem. Because I was running amok like I was drunk.
In a situation like that, you wonât be able to hear any wordsâ¦
Puck! Puffer Puck! Puck puck puck!
âdone.â
ââ¦â¦â
âBut⦠how do you plan to bring them out?â
Ratford asked with a worried expression.
Originally, professional thieves, even if they were colleagues, had the rule to throw them away mercilessly if they fell into a trap.
Lee Han could have been hurt if he went in to pick him up in the same situation.
âYou should try your best. for a moment.â
Lee Han tied himself with a rope. Then, prepare to hold your breath as much as possible.
âIf I feel like Iâm getting worse, Iâll pass out myself, so pull out the rope and pull it.â
âLee Han. Hereâs a potion to dispel curse magic. I donât know how effective it will beâ¦â
Yoner took out the potion from his pocket and held it out. Lee Han nodded in gratitude and drank.
âgood. go in.â
Lee Han held his breath and opened the classroom door.
and went inside
ââ¦!â
The moment I saw it, I knew what had happened.
Smoke mixed with magical power continued to flow from the magic circle installed in the middle of the classroom.
âAs expected, the trap was right.â
Lee Han walked slowly. And by giving her strength, she damaged the magic circle. Fortunately, the magic circle was easily destroyed.
âThe smoke has stopped!â
Now, if you just ventilate and take them outâ¦
At that moment, a magical reaction occurred on the wall. A new magic circle that had been hiding was revealed.
Lee Han cursed at Professor Woorestep.
âThis crazyâ¦!â
sudden!
Blue smoke enveloped Lee Han. It was a terrible smoke that penetrated the whole body even if I held my breath.
Lee Han grabbed the cane. I was thinking of passing out on my own if the condition felt strange.
ââ¦?â
But there was no change.
Lee Han looked around. And just in case, I drank some of the original smoke that was still left.
Also there was no change.
Do you feel like something is about to change a little bit and then it ends right away?
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han pulled out the students one by one with a shy expression.
Itâs fortunateâ¦
â¦why is it so futile?
âThe antidote potion worked!â
Asan, who was watching from behind, brightened his eyes.
âI am going to help. Makein! please!â
âWait, Iâm not sure yetâ¦â
Asan took a sip of the potion and ran into the classroom with Lee Han.
And then his eyes started rolling round and round.
ââ¦sorry. Asan.â
Lee Han knocked Ahsan out.
* * *
Plop!
Lee Han and his friends managed to throw the last student into the grass.
We were all sweaty, but somehow we felt proud.
ââ¦everyone had a hard time.â
âYeah. Reallyâ¦
â
âI wasted my time because of these bastards, so canât I go after them and get paid?â
At Lee Hanâs words, Ratford threw a look of respect.
