Han felt a headache coming up after a long time.
It was a headache I felt when I was thinking about where to start explaining to Kainando before the exam.
âruler. listen carefully. White Tiger Tower guys.â
Lee Han did his best to explain how excellent the level of this golem was.
At first, the students of the White Tiger Tower, who had heard âWodhanaz is saying that he has excellent magic skills even in a twisted mannerâ, seemed to have felt something strange, and their faces blurred.
âNo way⦠no way.â
âAre you saying you canât? Wodanaz??â
âYou said that earlier.â
The White Tiger Tower students were shocked and could not even answer.
The priests seemed to be worried because he looked so weak as he was staggering back.
âAre you okay?â
âIâm worriedâ¦â
âItâs okay. Youâll get better soon.â
* * *
However, contrary to Lee Hanâs expectations, the students of the White Tiger Tower remained sullen even the next day.
He was more obsessed with the golem than he thought.
âIâll feel better soon.â
Lee Han didnât care.
Until the students of the White Tiger Tower suddenly acted well.
Tak-
âWardanaz. Your autumn rabbit is delicious.â
â?â
Tak-
âWardanaz. Here are the hind legs of a deer.â
â??â
Tak-
âWardanaz. Here is the finest imperial ham aged for over a year.â
âWhere did you get this from?â
âThe kitchen⦠shh.â
âSomehow I thought there were only two people, but did I get dragged into the punishment room?â
It was okay to continue accepting gifts, but Lee Hanâs conscience wasnât up to that level.
Lee Han sighed and called Angrago and his friends together.
âIâm grateful for the gift, but itâs okay to not do it.â
ââ¦next time you catch a whole wild boarâ¦?â
âItâs not that I have the ability but I wonât do it, you bastard.â
âevil!â
Lee Han eventually exploded and hit Angrago on the head with his cane.
âYouâd better ask someone other than me.â
âwhich?â
âLike Professor Verdusâ¦â
âThereâs no way that professor would do a favor.â
Angrago said as if he was talking about something.
Of course, they also knew that Professor Verdus was an excellent master of endowment magic.
But no matter how good your skills are, whatâs the point if you donât have the will to help?
âIndeed, it is.â
âoh. If it was that guy from Wodanaz, maybe something would be differentâ¦â
âThatâs right, heâs my favorite disciple!â
When one of the White Tiger Tower students spoke in a voice filled with anticipation, Lee Han shook his head firmly.
âDonât bullshit.â
ââ¦isnât it?â
âokay. itâs not that kind of relationship. Iâve got something, so Iâll try to tell you, but donât expect too much.â
As there was a meeting with Professor Verdus in the afternoon, Lee Han decided to try talking.
If you get this much, you can sayâ¦
âGolem? Bring it next time.â
â!â
Not only Lee Han, but also Ang Rago and the White Tiger Tower students were surprised.
Lee Han was so surprised that he couldnât speak as carefully as usual.
âprofessor. Where are you sick?â
âWoah Wo Danaz. The professor said he liked it, but why are you doing thatâ¦!â
The students of the White Tiger Tower were frightened and tried to stop it.
Why the hell were you trying to provoke Professor Verdus?
âI am fine. Except that Gonadaltes made a lot of work. Ratherâ¦â
Professor Verdus looked at Lee Han hesitantly.
Seeing this, Lee Han suddenly felt fear.
Itâs more scary when someone who was originally rude suddenly becomes polite.
It gave me goosebumps to see Professor Verdus, who usually spoke without worrying about anything he wanted, hesitantly looking at him like that.
What are you asking for?
âAre you trying to draw blood or bones?â
âI hear you raise basilisks?â
ââ¦yes.â
Lee Han answered while holding back a sigh.
I no longer wondered how he found out.
âI must think that all professors are connected telepathically.â
âCan we go watch together?â
âyes? Why are you asking me that?â
âYouâre going to raise them in Professor Bagregâs classroom.â
âPerhaps.â
âProfessor Bagreck might attack me if I go alone.â
âWhy⦠what did you do?â
âI donât know. They just attacked.â
Professor Verdus replied with an innocent beaver face.
However, Lee Han was not fooled by the cute animal. Professor Verdus had done too many things to move on to something like that.
âI think theyâll attack me if I go with them.â
Lee Han thought so, but he didnât tell me.
It was because Professor Verdus was right anyway.
âAnyway, if we go to the tour together, will you help the golem?â
âhuh? A golem is a golem. A caliber is a caliber. What are you talking about?â
Come to think of it, Professor Verdus wasnât smart enough to make a deal with something like that.
I accepted the golem just because it looked fun, and the offer was separate.
âitâs nothing. After that, letâs go together. Anyway, I should have visited you once because of the lecture before dinner.â
Professor Verdusâ face brightened.
âokay! Then tell Professor Bagreg not to attack me!â
âOh⦠um⦠let me tell you something.â
* * *
After the endowment magic lecture (with fire resistance magic on their hands, some students were taken to the healing room to take out heated stones from the bonfire), Lee Han and Professor Verdus moved on.
âprofessor. Do you teach mainly strengthening magic in the second semester?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the first semester, I learned the basics of enchantment magic and practiced casting it on inanimate objects, so in the second semester, practicing enchantment magic directly on living things was the correct order.
âuh?â
ââ¦isnât it?â
âIs it? I just did it in book order. Maybe it was.â
Lee Han smiled calmly at the sight of Professor Verdus treating the students like stones rolling down the side of the road.
After all, there was nothing to be surprised about!
âThen what did you teach me in those two weeks?â
âWhat did you do last week⦠Um⦠Ah. Thatâs it. that. Block arrows.â
âyes?â
âBlocking flying arrows. Itâs good to check the strengthening magic.â
âDidnât you think he would come in later?â
âThen, there is a high possibility that we will continue to focus on strengthening magic until the midterm exam.â
âIs it written like that in the book? Is that so?â
ââ¦Is the midterm exam the same as last time, making artifacts?â
âno. Midterm exams for freshmen in the second semesterâ¦â
Professor Verdus frowned and thought hard.
âThat was it. Preparing traps for each other and throwing them in.â
ââ¦yes??â
âwait for a sec. Gonadaltes told me not to say this. it is a secret.â
âah. yes. thatâ¦?â
Even though Lee Han got hints at best, he was rather embarrassed.
What kind of midterm exam is âpreparing and throwing traps for each otherâ?
âEveryone has arrived. professor.â
Lee Han knocked on the door and entered.
Professor Voladi, as always, was seated by the table.
What was different from usual was that the familiar large egg was located in the center of the classroom.
âIs that a basilisk?â
Professor Verdus asked with twinkling eyes. Instead of answering, Professor Voladi immediately raised his staff and attacked Professor Verdus.
Professor Beaver Soo-in screamed and threw his body to the side.
âDry it!â
âHow can I⦠More than that, Professor. Why are you attacking Professor Verdus?â
âI tried to steal the basilisk.â
ââ¦Professorâ¦â
Lee Han looked at Professor Verdus in a pitiful way.
âno!â
Professor Verdus groaned and shouted.
âI was curious and tried to touch it!â
âWhat are you saying?â
Lee Han snorted.
Professor Verdus, who was rolling down the hallway, looked up at Lee Han, wondering why he was doing that.
âThereâs no way the professor came here with just such a pure heart.â
ââ¦not really!â
Professor Verdus felt resentment after a long time.
âOf course, I was going to get some ingredients when the basilisk was born!â
âArenât you allowed?â
âWith permission!â
âAhâ¦â
Lee Hanâs suspicious eyes made Professor Verdus feel regret for the first time in a long time.
Normally, Professor Verdus, who has a bloody iron-blooded mind, doesnât care at all no matter what he hears, but because Lee Han is like that, he feels unfair for some reason.
Is it okay for a disciple to doubt his master like that?
âBecause itâs real!â
âAll right. Wake up.â
Grabbing Lee Hanâs outstretched hand, Professor Verdus stood up.
At that moment, Professor Voladiâs magic shot out from inside the classroom again. Professor Verdus was hit straight and rolled across the hallway.
The artifacts he was wearing were so great that he didnât get hurt, but Professor Verdus coughed as if the shock was great.
âBecause it will dry!â
âNo⦠Youâre not the one who gets dried just because I dry it.â
âTry and tell me!â
Lee Han shrugged his shoulders as if he couldnât help it.
âprofessor. Could you please stop attacking Professor Verdus for a moment?â
âi get it.â
Professor Voladi lowered his wand.
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Professor Verdus glared at Lee Han.
Isnât it like getting another attack that doesnât have to be hit for no reason!
* * *
Even if there were basilisk eggs, Professor Voladiâs lecture didnât change or change.
âHow much dark element did you learn?â
âBasic casting is possible, butâ¦â
âWhat about the lightning element?â
âI am practicing shape transformation.â
âWhat is the water element? What is the summoning magic? What is the enchantment magic?â
Professor Verdus sat next to him and watched the conversation between the two.
If it had been another professor, he would have reacted with âIsnât that a bit excessive?â
âI guess Iâll have to catch up with the lack of progress.â
At Professor Voladiâs words, Lee Han nodded and slowly moved aside.
The idea was to use Professor Verdus as a shield if an attack came.
âThe professor is here, but I canât attack right away.â
Scared to finish his thoughts, Professor Voladi started firing bullets made of dark elements. Professor Verdus, who was sitting next to him and was suddenly hit, fell to the side screaming.
âStop it!â
âI didnât attack you.â
âah. I see.â
Lee Han wanted to ask what it was like, but he was too busy avoiding it.
Fortunately, even if Professor Verdus fell, thanks to the artifacts he was wearing, he was serving as a solid obstacle.
Lee Han quickly grabbed the fallen Professor Verdus and lifted him up like a shield. The bullets made of dark elements bounced mercilessly.
âWhen will this end?â
âLooks like youâll have to wait a minute!â
30 minutes later.
Professor Voladi, who improved Lee Hanâs sense of the dark element through simple basic training, declared a break.
âItâs good to use the environment, but basic skills come first.â
âI will keep that in mind.â
âThen take care of the basilisk.â
ââ¦?â
Lee Han was slightly taken aback by Professor Voladiâs words.
âUh⦠what⦠arenât you teaching me?â
Usually, when you ask a first-year student to take care of a basilisk egg, donât you tell them something like âYou have to do this and that, donât do thisâ?
Of course, before Lee Han came, I asked Professor Lightning Step a lot, butâ¦
âI was going to tell you anyway.â
âthank you.â
Tak-
Professor Boladi threw the book. Lee Han thought it was rather fortunate.
Because Professor Voladi was a man better explained in books than in words.
âI used it based on the blue dragon tower, but the phoenix tower wonât be much different.â
ââ¦yes?â
Lee Han was about to look through the book, but hesitated.
What are you talking about?
Professor Verdus, who was next to him, said.
âCan you help me if itâs hard to move the eggs?â
ââ¦â¦â
Realizing that he had to raise him in the dormitory rather than helping him grow in Professor Boladiâs classroom, Lee Han seriously contemplated moving to the White Tiger Tower.
