Chapter 229

“I was surprised. I can’t wait to see you already.”

“?”

Lee Han was puzzled by Professor Millay’s words.

The other day, Professor Thunderwalker guided me to the spirit realm, but beings in the other world were basically curious about intruders.

‘Won’t they approach me even if I stay still?’

…It was strange to run away after seeing Lee Han, but it was normal when the spirits approached more.

“Originally, it would be. But like I said, there is a safety net.”

“ah.”

The safety device that prevented strong beings from approaching also hid the presence of wizards.

As long as the presence is not felt, the existence of the other world that can be encountered will decrease.

“By the way, did we meet?”

“It must be because of magic.”

Professor Millay looked at Lee Han and said.

Even if it was covered by a safety device, the magical power was not completely hidden, so it was clear that the undead crawled under the magical power.

‘no. It wasn’t because of the other guys.’

I thought it was because students with excellent black magic skills went together, but it wasn’t.

Gainando looked at Lee Han with an expression full of betrayal.

Somehow, the undead came to visit!

“As expected, Lee Han…”

“Are there any complaints?”

“Oh no. Thank you for calling the undead.”

Gainando vowed never to take Yihan with him if something happened to him that led him to the cemetery.

“I will continue to maintain this magic circle until the weekend. Even students who did not succeed in signing the contract today should continue to challenge themselves.”

“!”

Lee Han was delighted when he heard that the magic circle would be open until the weekend.

‘Maybe I can save a skeleton wizard.’

Although he made a contract with a skeleton warrior, there would be nothing wrong with adding one more.

Dalgrak-

Sharkan, who was inside the bone fragment, tilted his head.

It meant why he was wasting his mana.

“Cainan Island. Rapadell. Great. They say you keep the magic circle going. Go back in and find the new undead. There will be undead that will make a contract with you.”

“Whoa… Wodanaz. That’s a bit…”

Rapad El waved his hand with a slightly pale face.

Lee Han, knowing that the other person was cheating, spoke firmly.

“Rapadel. Don’t pretend to be tough.”

“… You bastard, you really don’t have magic power!”

Rapadell was furious.

I didn’t want to sound weak in front of Lee Han, so I endured it, but originally, it took a lot of magic and mental power to set foot in another world and come back.

Gainan next to him was also sitting on a chair and eating chocolate.

“ah. You’ve run out of mana.”

“okay!”

“Then let’s take a break today and go into the next break. When is the next break? tell me.”

“……”

Seeing Lee Han try to check the time of Rapad El’s lecture, Rapad El felt a terrifying fear.

‘This… this bastard!’

A qualitatively different kind of terror that even a large, formidable knight could not deliver.

Feeling an unfamiliar fear, Raphael’s body stiffened.

“Tell me quickly.”

“Isn’t there a reason… you have to take me with you?”

“no. Originally, an arrow b… No, it’s easier to feel comfortable when there’s a avant-garde.”

“Did you just mean to say arrow holder?”

“Don’t put a strange name on me. So when is the break time? Don’t even think about lying. You can ask the students of the White Tiger Tower.”

Gainando took advantage of the gap and slipped backwards. Lee Han said without looking back.

“Guinan knows all the times of your lectures anyway, so you don’t have to say anything.”

“…!!”

* * *

After the lecture was over and all the students had left, Professor Millay cleaned up the remaining seats.

As the magic circle was drawn using various materials, the surroundings were quite cluttered.

‘Is this the magic circle I drew earlier?’

Professor Millay noticed the magic circle left in Lee Han’s seat and looked away.

It was clear that he hadn’t made as much progress as he had tried to summon the shield form.

Still, failure must have been a lesson, so that alone…

“?!”

Professor Millay was surprised to see the unfinished magic circle drawn by Lee Han.

How could a first year student who had never dealt with shield-type magic properly complete a magic circle of this level?

…are you really a genius??

* * *

Raphael wanted to take a break from Lee Han until his magic was completely restored.

And if we ever meet again, I wanted to deal with it with at least the four of us.

But that wish did not come true.

“……”

“Yeah. nice to meet.”

Less than two hours passed before I ran into Lee Han at a lecture on black magic.

“Coke. I can feel different magical powers from the three of them. Have you ever been to the undead world?”

Professor Mortum asked without knowing what Lapadel was thinking. Lee Han nodded and explained what had happened.

“Colok did a great job!”

Professor Mortum coughed and shouted. He shouted so loudly that his body shook.

“Is that enough?”

“of course. Coke. There is not only necromancy in black magic, but there is no outstanding black magician who cannot do necromancy.”

Handling dark elements or dealing with poison curses was one of the realms of black magic, but most people still think of black magic as necromancy, the summoning of the undead.

Arcane magic that raises the dead.

“Coke. It’s a bit unfortunate that I did that in summoning magic class… but where is this? Didn’t other students send an envious glance?”

“……”

Lee Han hesitated.

When I said that I signed a contract with a skeleton warrior, the reaction of the students was…

‘I wasn’t envious.’

Even if they were amazed at how great it was, there were definitely no students who said, ‘Wow, I envy black magic, and I want to learn it too.’

However, Lee Han could not refuse Professor Mortum’s pitiful gaze.

“It seems like it was.”

“?”

“also! I thought so. Coke.”

Professor Mortum was delighted with his work.

Rapad El looked at me and said, ‘Isn’t that the case?’ Lee Han ignored it.

“Among the many creatures that can be summoned by making a contract, the greatest and most beautiful are the undead. A wizard who learned the charm of the undead had no choice but to be interested in necromancy. Coke. What is all about wielding a sword and shield?”

A wizard infusing magic power and giving orders from one to ten, and summoning a being from another world with its own ego.

No matter how I thought about it, the latter was bound to be much more convenient.

Of course, the latter also had its downsides.

Having an ego means that the summoned beings may not listen to the wizard.

However, this shortcoming could be resolved if there was an existence that had previously surrendered and contracted.

Otherwise…

there were ways to get rid of the hostility of the summoned undead by staying in the grave or applying rotten substances on their bodies.

Professor Mortum skipped over this method without mentioning it.

“Coke. Anyway, good deal. Who did the two of you make a pact with?”

“Oh.”

“oh.”

“?”

“We are still…”

Professor Mortum frowned at Guyando’s words.

“It shouldn’t be. Coke. Opportunities to go to the undead world and sign a contract aren’t that common.”

“Do not worry. professor. I will take you to the weekend and sign a contract.”

“Coke. It seems you are the only student I can trust.”

“no. It is an exaggeration.”

“……”

Cainando and Rapadel glared at Lee Han.

I’m a friend, but I was a bit nasty today.

“Coke. Ymirg students should also go and make a contract to summon the undead.”

“Me… me too?”

Ymirg, a half-blooded giant student who sparked while he was still, was embarrassed.

Ymirg didn’t even listen to summoning magic, and he had no interest in necromancy.

‘I don’t think I’ll need Ymirg.’

Since Lee Han had already paid the price for Rapad-El alone, he decided to be merciful to the remaining friends.

“You don’t have to participate if you don’t want to…”

“No. Let’s go together!”

“I think we should go together. The professor did too.”

Kainando and Rapadel intervened like lightning. Lee Han thought to himself.

‘These scumbags.’

They didn’t want to go alone, so they forced their friends in!

* * *

In preparation for the contract, Professor Mortum taught the characteristics of monsters that are often seen in the undead world and how to deal with them.

And if there are students who are interested in the undead among the students learning summoning magic, ask them to convince them in turn how good the undead are, how good their necromantic skills are, and how great their black magic is.

‘It’s almost like it hurts my heart to hear it.’

Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.

“Coke. Wodanaz.”

Near the end of the lecture, when Professor Mortum called Lee Han, Lee Han nodded as if he understood and replied.

“Do not worry. professor. I will guide my friends well and make a contract with a useful undead monster.”

“Coke. That’s not it.”

“?”

“Take this.”

Professor Mortum handed over a thick brown book. Compared to the books Lee Han has read so far, it looks quite old.

‘?’

“May I ask why you are giving me this book?”

Lee Han suddenly wondered why he wanted to give him a book like this.

Professor Mortum sighed and opened his mouth.

“Coke. Among necromancy, how many ways do you think there are to summon the undead?”

“Aren’t there two?”

One is to summon an uncontracted being.

It was not bound by a contract, so it had to be controlled with magic and appeased hostility in various ways, but the relatively free summoning was an advantage.

The other is to summon a contracted being.

There was no need to control or appease, but if the contract itself was a downside, it was a downside.

“Coke. Wrong. Actually three.”

“Three? …no way?”

Lee Han hesitated.

“I guess you understand.”

There was a corner to chew on.

‘Are you referring to something like a magic item?’

As we learned in Professor Millay’s lecture the other day, items without egos, such as swords and shields, had to be individually designed by the wizard himself.

But in the case of the undead, it was a waste of waste.

You can just call in the undead, but the wizard has to weave everything from nothing?

It was an inefficient method in itself, with the level of difficulty drastically increasing, from the amount of mana to the casting.

Of course, it wasn’t the way it is now. Lee Han didn’t just say ‘Aren’t there two things?’

“Coke. That’s right.”

“I heard that summoning like this is rare these days…?”

“It’s not that there aren’t any. Coke. In fact, it’s the way it was written in ancient times. The ancient ways are written in this book.”

“!”

Lee Han was surprised once again.

It was surprising that he recommended magic in a way that is not used now, and why he recommended it.

‘What’s the advantage… wait. Isn’t there a reason why it’s not used now?’

“Why me?”

“Coke. It’s the principal’s order. He begged me to make it possible for you to summon the undead this way as well.”

“……”

Lee Han was serious.

I thought it was recommended because of Lee Han’s hidden aptitude or magical constitution…

“Yes. what. We will try.”

‘I’ll have to pass it roughly.’

Black magic was already managing enough grades.

Even if you don’t learn the magic to summon the undead in such an outdated way, you’ll get a perfect score.

“Coke. I’ll believe it. You can learn it well. The principal told me to check every week. He told me to send him to the punishment room if there was no progress
