ââ¦Excellent. Letâs give it full marks.â
âthank you.â
to the left.
to the right.
Spin three times in place, then somersault.
Finally, graceful ballet.
Fortunately, Gonadaltes kindly listened to Lee Hanâs order, which could have been an unreasonable request.
âthanks. Gonadaltes.â
The skeleton warrior nodded hastily. For some reason, it seemed like he was paying attention.
âYou can go backâ¦â
Boom!
Returning to his seat, Lee Han tilted his head.
âItâs a bit strange.â
âWhat about skeletons dancing ballet?â
Gainando looked at Lee Han with the look of âCome now?â
âno. The professorâs expression.â
Just as Lee Han read the emotions of the spirits, he was able to read the professorâs emotions as well.
In fact, the professor was easier than the spirit.
Because the professor was a little more explicit.
âOf course not.â
â?â
âThatâs how you named the skeleton warrior.â
Friends nodded their heads in agreement. Lee Han was puzzled.
âIsnât that the first time youâve heard of it?â
âDonât you get used to it no matter how many times you hear it?â
While they were talking like that, it was Gainandoâs turn.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCainan Island. be careful.â
âthatâs right.â
Gainando, who was about to leave with a nervous face, was moved by the support of his friends.
âDonât overdo it and make an accident, give up in moderation and come this way.â
âDonât think of yourself as trying to do well. You are not Wardanaz.â
ââ¦â¦â
Gainando snorted at the sight of his friends hanging around holding their ankles, saying that they had already failed in their first attempt.
âjoy! Losers!â
âCainando⦠you will come this wayâ¦â
âCainando. When you swung your wand, did you swing it clockwise or counterclockwise? Think about it.â
Lee Han was amazed.
Those who couldnât do the magic they were told to do were first-class in their interruption.
âBut I already realized how.â
Gainando was quite confident. It was thanks to the hints from previous friends.
Nilia succeeded in dealing with the spirits.
Lee Han succeeded in dealing with the undead.
If Neilia took a warm approach with intimacy, Lee Han took a strict and resolute approach.
As Gainando dealt with the undead, it was right to follow the latter.
âListen! If you donât listen to my order, youâ¦â
The skeleton warrior immediately rushed in and slapped Guinando on the cheek.
Enraged, Gainando wielded his staff and grabbed the skeleton warrior by the collar and started fighting.
âSo I told you to give up moderately and come this way.â
âGuinan Island! break your leg! Break his leg!â

Time for a swordsmanship lecture.
Students did not wait nervously like other final exams.
Because the swordsmanship lecture was not like taking a test on the spot like other lectures.
âWhat did you bring?â
âWhy are you asking that? What about you?â
âThereâs no way I can tell you that easily.â
The students looked at each other and looked at each other.
A test to defeat the strongest game possible in the mountains and bring the proof.
Aside from grades, it was a matter of pride that other students were hunting prey that was stronger than them.
âThatâs why we ask each other like that. Lee Han.â
âRight. Durgyu. But from my point of view, I donât think you should leave grades behind.â
Lee Han said coldly.
Itâs a final exam, but what kind of nonsense is it that you fight for your pride regardless of your grades?
Grades are more important!
âThatâs true, but⦠itâs a very important issue within the White Tiger Tower.â
âDurgyu. Stop talking nonsense. Come to think of it, did you not find out what we brought?â
As Durgyu or Moradi belonged to the White Tiger Tower, there were many conflicts with other students.
Moradiya was a person who knew how to take care of his share, so he would never have been caught, but Durgyu was a bit lax and had a petulant part.
A personality that might accidentally spill information if friends earnestly ask for it!
âYou donât have to worry. Han Lee. No one will know what we brought.â
âokay. Good luck.â
It was very important not to reveal oneâs hand in such an opponentâs competition test.
The moment they become known, the competition will overheat and each other will become tired.
Lee Han did not want a fight that only left scars on each other.
âYou get it, right? We care about our friends.â
âthatâs right. Choi. Keep in mind.â
ââ¦â¦â
Durgyu looked at Lee Han and Giselle with a complicated expression.
There was something suspicious about the two of them concentrating on persuading Durgyu.
* * *
House Jayâs Dukemar looked around. Then Gatono of the Dullac family gave a reprimand.
âI will notice the other guys. Stay still.â
âIâm sorry.â
Gulp-
The two of them looked straight ahead, remaining as calm as possible. Another student from the same party asked.
âBy the way, if youâre here, can I talk to you?â
âno! Submit it as quietly as possible. Thereâs nothing good about provoking others.â
âNo matter what, it is possible to come back now?â
The White Tiger Tower student asked back in disbelief.
At most, there was only an hour or two left, so how could he find new prey and defeat it in the meantime?
âWodanaz madman could be.â
âthatâs right. Wodanaz, donât provoke him!â
ââ¦â¦â
The white tiger top student who asked the question nodded involuntarily.
It was nonsense, of course, but there was a heartfelt force in the words of the other two friends.
Gatono reached into his backpack. I could feel the hard texture wrapped in cloth.
Surprisingly, these wereâ¦
shoes worn by a giant.
âI bet no one would have brought such great prey as we did!â
Gatono was convinced.
No matter how much Wodanaz or Durgyu Moradi had excellent swordsmanship, this was unreasonable.
So did the other students.
After trying to catch the giant, he went through such disgrace and hardship, but who would have tried to catch the giant again?
However, Gatono and his friends were different. they didnât give up
â Mr. Geese. We want to deal with giants.
â Help!
Ge Esse, a hunter belonging to the Wasteland Star Catcher, was moved by the enthusiasm of the White Tiger Tower students who continued to visit.
As much as they came to teach and help the students in the first place, the students who took the time to visit them were inevitably admirable.
-The mind is very good. Then let me help you just this once.
-Are you sure!?
-Whether you can make it or not depends on your ability. I canât help you there.
-Do not worry! Iâll do anything!
Gatono and his friends shouted eagerly.
I felt like I could do anything with my mood right now.
-ruler. You just have to crawl through that beast cage and bring back the shoes the giant took off.
-Uh⦠You donât fight giants directly?
-of course. Thereâs no way youâd allow a first-year student to fight a giant directly.
-â¦â¦
-â¦â¦
â Why is that?
-Itâs nothingâ¦
-You donât have to come back and fight the giant. Even the shoes the giant was wearing would be proof enough.
-But the test is to defeat the prey and bring the evidence, right?
-If someone secretly approaches and takes your shoes and you donât notice, that in itself is a defeat. At least in our Wasteland Star Catchers, that is.
-That⦠is that so?
The White Tiger Tower students were attracted to the hunterâs logic.
In fact, I would have accepted it even if it was a lot more nonsense, since I didnât have to fight the giant myself.
-for a moment. Mr. Geese. The beast cage over there is full of mud.
â So itâs even better. The mud will hide the smell so the giant wonât notice. Besides, you can hide under a pig if you need to.
-â¦Is there any other way than crawling?
â Nothing but direct dealings with giants.
The White Horai Tower students thought about it for a long time, but eventually threw off their clothes and crawled through the mud.
The smell was so nasty that even after washing it for days, it stung my nose, but it was worth it.
These are the shoes worn by giants.
Who would have brought something like this?
Katono was drunk on himself and didnât notice that another student was approaching from behind.
widely!
Another party student came over and quickly tapped Gatono on the hand.
Then the giantâs shoe rolled out.
ââ¦!!â
âArenât those the shoes the giant wore?! They look like shoes worn by a giant?!â
âMy friends! These bastards broke their promise and dealt with the giant!â
The students of the White Tiger Tower who approached because they thought it was suspicious were shocked to see the giantâs shoes.
Having decided not to aim for a giant together, such a despicable trick?
âCoward! Are you still a knight!â
âI am proud. Look up to the sky and have no shame! The promise I made at that time was to not deal with the giant because it was dangerous. We came because we had the confidence to deal with giants. Whatâs wrong with that?â
âlie! In case weâre also targeting a giant, weâve been hiding it!â
âIf you are envious, say that you are envious. Donât be ugly and jealous!â
âAre you done talking now?!â
The students of the White Tiger Tower didnât end up arguing, but grabbed each other by the collar and started swinging their fists.
Lee Han, who was sitting with Moradi Durgyu at a distance, clicked his tongue at the sight.
âStupid. Breaking your promise and dealing with a giant without your friends knowing.â
ââ¦Lee Han. But we also dealt with giants.â
âWe didnât hear.â
âWe didnât hear.â
ââ¦â¦â
* * *
Professor Ingeldell thanked Vaishada, a hunter from the Shadow Patrol, and Ge Esse, a hunter from the Wasteland Star Catcher.
âThanks to both of you for your help.â
âOh no. professor.â
âAs a hunter, teaching young wizards is an honor in itself.â
âHe speaks really well.â
Vaishadha admired the Esseâs eloquence.
He didnât belong to the Star Catchers of the Wasteland, which are often published in imperial newspapers for no reason. It was a speech technique that was on a completely different level from the Shadow Ranger hunters.
âThank you for saying that. ruler. Then, shall we let the students see what they have been hunting?â
The two hunters sat down with the professor.
Students in the swordsmanship class submitted evidence of the prey they faced in turn, and each time the two hunters opened their mouths with an excited expression.
âThis is a vampire shady bat! You wonât be able to come out of the cave at this time, but you managedâ¦â
âCatching the walking fire mushrooms. A wizard looks like a wizard. Even the hunters are picky, so I avoid them.â
âBringing the vine hunterâs fruit. How great?â
Meanwhile, it was Gatono and his friendsâ turn.
As the giantâs shoes came up, Professor Ingeldell also admired them.
âThe shoes the giant was wearingâ¦! I managed to bring it!â
Gatono, who had a bruise over one eye, spoke cautiously.
âI couldnât defeat the giant.â
âIt doesnât matter. Even though I couldnât defeat it, itâs even more amazing that I brought it.â
Professor Ingeldell said that and looked at Esse.
âMr. Thank you again.â
âprofessor. I know youâre wise, but I was really surprised. How did you know?â
âHow would the first year students think of dealing with the giant if Mr. Esse hadnât advised them?â
Esse cleared his throat as if embarrassed.
Seeing that, Vaishada was envious inwardly.
He has everything from reputation to popularity to skill and excellent advice to teach even magicians.
âIsnât that too unfair?â
Next was Lee Han and his friends.
When Lee Han submitted the hair of the giant Ikrusha, Professor Ingeldell and Esse coughed and spit out the water they were drinking.
Then he looked at Vaishadha with a look of astonishment.
Vaishada cried out in fright.
âNo no no⦠I didnât do anything.â
âI know. Mr. Vaishada.â
âYou know!â
âIt feels like nothing from the teaching side. But from the learning side, that one word is a big realizationâ¦â â
â¦â¦â
