Chapter 284

“Thank you…”

Salcoe expressed his gratitude at first.

“Wardanaz. thanks.”

The rest of Salchow’s gang behind him also expressed their gratitude. Some were even crying.

Just a moment ago, I was in despair, knowing that I would be locked up like this, but Lee Han suddenly came and saved me, so it was worth being moved.

Surprised and bewildered, but once he thanked me in a daze, Salcho felt something strange.

But why is Wodanaz here?

“By the way, Wodanaz. What’s going on here…?”

“Now is not the time to have a conversation here. You have to move fast! You never know when the pursuer will come after you!”

“That’s right.”

Lee Han whispered urgently, and Salko immediately agreed.

As long as the trap was triggered, it was no wonder that the principal’s minions who were waiting around came to visit at any time.

We had to escape as quickly as possible.

“Come this way!”

“Let’s go down the stairs on the left rather than the central stairs! There is nowhere to hide in the central staircase!”

“i get it! Everyone quickly…”

Fortunately, the first-year students moved quickly without any hindrance.

Since all of them were students who had been around at night, I didn’t waste time in this situation.

“Woah Wardanaz! Sound from the front! Someone is coming!”

“Go into the classroom next door! I will cast invisibility magic!”

When he came down to the first floor, he heard a voice and someone walking from the front of the hallway, so Lee Han immediately turned around and went into the lecture hall next door.

Fortunately, it was dark inside the classroom, but Lee Han was not vigilant.

“Cloak, swallow me!”

As the invisibility magic amplified, Lee Han made everyone stick together.

Salcho frowned at the sight of Lee Han raising his elbow over his head, but he didn’t say anything because of the situation.

– Where are you? is it the kitchen?

-It’s on the second floor.

-Who touched it?

– Probably freshmen. It’s unfortunate. Ein Lorgard wasn’t such a good place…

The Death Knights moved their steps while talking as if they were sorry.

A kitchen and grocery store on the second floor of the main building that are relatively easy to access without any special security or defense devices.

In Ein Rogard, I had to be more suspicious.

-Still, if you go to the punishment room a few times, you’ll learn.

-That’s right. Isn’t it all about growing up?

“……”

“……”

The atmosphere of the students hiding in the classroom became chilly.

He realized that he had just stepped on the threshold of the underworld.

“…thank you very much. Wodanaz.”

“done. It’s not something I did to get thanks. Can I just go? I don’t think there’s anything good about being together now.”

Lee Han spoke sternly, managing his expression in order not to notice the heavily loaded groceries in his backpack.

No matter how grateful Salco and his gang were now, I didn’t know if that would be the case even after knowing that Lee Han and his party robbed it first.

‘Once we split up, what if I have doubts later?’

“Wodhanaz…”

“It’s really on a different level from the other blue dragon tower guys.”

The students of the Black Turtle Tower were all deeply impressed by Lee Han’s refusal to show condescension even after helping him.

If he had been another Blue Dragon Tower student, he would have been proud of himself for thirty minutes, mentioning family, bloodlines, and honor.

‘When an honorable person does a good deed, it is said that he does it not to raise his honor, but because it is good. You’re not wrong!’

Even the wildest and most arrogant student at Black Turtle Tower could not deny Wodanaj’s honor.

“Wardanaz. I have something to tell you in return.”

“Should I do it now?”

Lee Han just glanced at the door, wanting to get out quickly.

These bastards felt burdened…

‘I bet he didn’t notice.’

“I have to do it now.”

“i get it. tell me Instead, speak quickly.”

“You must know Professor Thunderstruck, right?”

“of course.”

Every time I rested, I went to the garden and even did chores, but there was no way I didn’t know. In response to Lee Han’s answer, Salko nodded and continued talking.

“This is what one of our top students witnessed yesterday. In the middle of the night, Professor Thunderwalker came in with a hydra.”

“…I must have been tired from studying too much. I think I heard wrong. What did you bring in?”

“Hydra.”

“……”

Lee Han frowned and fell into thought.

Hydra.

A monster with nine heads, powerful regenerative abilities, and deadly poison.

Even in an empire full of all kinds of ferocious and dangerous monsters, Hydra was the one who entered the upper ranks.

However, Professor Woorestep brought it in??

‘Does that make sense?’

Originally, he would have said that he had seen it wrong, but Lee Han did not.

It didn’t make much sense, so I rather believed it.

Anything could have happened in Ein Lorgard.

“Still, they say he wasn’t a full-grown guy. It must have been a baby.”

“I’m so glad you’re a baby! If it was an adult, I wouldn’t have the confidence to deal with it, but if it’s a baby, I’ll have the confidence to deal with it.”

“Is it really?”

“…Of course it’s a joke.”

Lee Han was dumbfounded.

It was sarcastic, but you take it seriously.

Salchow blushed as if he knew he had said something stupid.

“Seriously, I was mistaken. Anyway, Wodanaz I know you’re taking an alchemy class.”

“yes.”

“Dark Magic Summoning Magic Illusion Enchantment Magic Foresight Magic Conversion Magic Healing Magic.”

“…you don’t have to tell me all of that, do you?”

“Anyway, I’m telling you because it would be good to know in advance. I will be preparing for other lecture exams, so it would be nice to know at least one of them in advance.”

Yoner, who was listening beside him, murmured.

“I don’t think knowing would be of much help.”

* * *

“Hydra… what the hell is a test related to hydra?”

way back.

I should have been happy as much as I had everything I wanted, but it was just as heavy as a heavy backpack.

Yoner and Ratford also had serious expressions.

“It could be a potion that calms the hydra.”

“It may be a potion that makes the hydra go berserk.”

“Even if the former is true, the latter… I don’t think so.”

No matter how much Einrogard was Einrogard, there was no way he would feed the potion that would drive Hydra mad at the test place where the students were gathered.

…maybe!

“Potion to suppress hydra regeneration? A potion to detoxify the hydra poison?”

“I’m sure you wouldn’t go that far…”

Yoner said with a tired expression at Lee Han’s bloody prediction.

“Isn’t it that you brought it to use as a material? You might need something like the raw blood of a hydra for the target potion ingredient.”

“indeed. It’s plausible.”

Ratford convincingly agreed.

However, Lee Han could not accept it easily.

“Professor Woorestep said he would increase the difficulty of the test, but isn’t it too easy?”

“It is not easy.”

“It is not easy.”

“no. That sounds a bit easy.”

“……”

“……”

Yoner and Ratford looked at each other.

-You speak well.

-How should I say it?

“for a moment.”

Thanks to his hearing, which was heightened by the strengthening magic, Lee Han recognized the sound of footsteps coming from afar.

I went into the lecture room right next to it and held my breath, and the Death Knights passed through the hallway talking about each other again.

-I don’t know who it was, but it managed to get out. It looks like they were split in half and were waiting outside? These freshmen look very smart.

– It doesn’t look like freshmen to me. Even if he had been waiting outside, all his mana would have been sucked out the moment he touched the sealing door.

-but. It’s not something a freshman should do, seeing as he poured magic power until the sealed door was unlocked. I’ll have to go see what the seniors are doing.

“……”

Lee Han made a promise to himself.

From now on, even if a really plausible prey appears in front of my eyes, I will tap the stone bridge dozens of times before crossing it.

* * *

“I trust you. Marronnier.”

Final exams.

Yoner hugged the chestnut-haired horse by the neck and whispered.

“you can do it. Grand Empenial Guyinando Imperator.”

“You just have to do what you practiced. got it?”

One by one, the other students started talking to the horse they had cared for during the semester.

As the exams were approaching, there was a spleen in his voice.

“Phone League.”

Whoops!

When Lee Han spoke to him, Ponrig’s eyes twinkled as if he was expecting it.

The owner is stingy with compliments, but this time…

“Don’t attack other horses.”

…Pu-hee-hee-hee-hee!!

Ponrig roared with anger and started blowing dirt with his hooves.

Gainando, who was passing by, ate a handful of dirt and spat it out.

“Look. You have such a temper that I’m worried about you.”

Puhin! puheheh! Hee hee hee!

Ponrig cried in a voice full of resentment.

In the first place, Griffon was a lofty beast.

Since the lofty beast has been cursed and takes on the form of a horse, of course you are not stressed.

And above all, if the owner doubts, of course he gets angry!

“Yes, yes. I was wrong. Anyway, don’t attack the other horses until I tell you. got it?”

‘Before I speak?’

Yoner tilted his head and brushed the horse’s hair.

In the meantime, Professor Lightning Step, who finished his work in the vast vacant lot, appeared shaking his hands.

“Everyone worked hard during the semester. I hope you learned a lot from getting to know horses. It is rare for an animal to help a wizard like a horse. He is the most trustworthy friend who doesn’t betray you once you get to know him and helps you no matter what. After the lecture, take him with you and be with him.”

“!!”

“thank you!”

The faces of the students who received the gift of friendly words lit up. Lee Han looked at the phone league. Ponrig looked at her with mild eyes as if asking why.

‘Isn’t this a horse?’

As I was thinking about something else, Professor Lightning Walk asked Lee Han.

“How about going to the stable even during vacation?”

Lee Han was frightened.

“yes???????!!?”

“I was joking, so don’t be so serious.”

‘Oops.’

Lee Han reflected.

He couldn’t control his emotions at such absurd words.

“It was a joke, of course, to ask you to come to the stable during vacation, but as long as you take care of the phone league, it will take some work even during vacation. Griffins are pretty annoying animals.”

Ponrig sighed as if not to worry. Lee Han was worried about something different in that appearance.

“Isn’t the curse lifted during vacation?”

“That won’t happen. … maybe. In any case, if you need help or need a spacious place for the Pawn League to play, come to Einrogard Stables. I will be at school this vacation.”

“thank you.”

Of course, during vacation, Lee Han never intended to go anywhere near Ain Lorgard.

He wouldn’t even breathe in the direction of Einrogard.

“ruler. Then let’s start slowly.”

Lightning Walk Professor pointed with his riding whip at an empty field so vast that he could not see the end.

Obstacles installed everywhere.

If the midterm exam was just a run, the final exam had to jump over these obstacles together.

The difficulty level seemed quite high, but the students were surprisingly calm.

After looking at different final exams all week, this kind of exam now feels ridiculous.

“This is enough for a change of mood.”

“That is correct.”

In addition, there were many students who were full of confidence in the lecture, even if they did not know about other lectures.

Since I was a child, I rode a horse, so everyone had a pride in their hearts saying ‘I’m better than others’.

“Yoner. I think it would be better not to run ahead of the starting signal.”

“why?”

Before Lee Han could answer, Professor Lightning Walk gave the signal to start.

Then, the students waiting at the starting line rode their horses like lightning and rushed forward.

Dag dag dag dag-

Puck!

One of the students who was running at the front was hit by a stream of water flying from the side and fell out.

“……”

“I wonder if this is so.”
