âNo. You never pushed it into a pit.â
âphew. What a relief.â
After hearing the answer, Professor Garcia, who was relieved, hesitated.
âDidnât I just say ?â
Does that mean youâve pushed it somewhere other than the pit?
âLee Han Hakâ¦â
âThen what is this pit?â
Professor Garcia was heartbroken when Lee Han asked very blatantly and cautiously.
The first thing I thought was to clear this excellent studentâs doubts as soon as possible.
âItâs the final exam.â
âIs that so.â
â?â
Professor Garcia was puzzled.
Lee Hanâs reaction was so calm.
Of course, the boy of the Wodanaz family was not emotional or flirtatious, but such a calm reaction?
âThen are there monsters hiding under the pit?â
âBecause there is none?!â
Professor Garciaâs voice rose involuntarily.
âYou donât think you think of me as the principal, do you, student Lee Han?â
âHow could I have such a rude thought? Absolutely not. However, if it was a final exam, I thought the monsters would be hidingâ¦â
Professor Garcia said with a deep sigh.
âI prepared to test the magic I learned this semester. There are no monsters.â
In the first semester, it was Professor Garcia who introduced various schools of magic and taught them the basics.
And during this second semester, I was in charge of the lecture, teaching students various useful practical magic.
, , , , etc. were such examples.
âLooks like there are a lot of undead.â
Somehow, there were a lot of anti-undead magic, but Professor Garciaâs lecture was the most practical lecture of this semester. Above all, the lectures by Einrogard graduates who really care about the students were outstanding. It was a lecture that taught students only magic that they could use right away in real life.
âUh, but you also taught undead-related magic, but there are no undead?â
âI donât know what you mean. When did I teach you undead magic?â
âYou taught me , and â¦â â
I donât understand? aha. It must be that student Lee Han was mistaken because he listened to so many lectures.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was dumbfounded, but he could understand the meaning of Professor Garcia.
Iâm trying to keep it a secret so that if the skeleton headmaster finds out who taught it to me, it could lead to even more twisted tricks.
âJust say it with words.â
However, Lee Han was slightly hurt. I donât know anything else, but it hurt a lot to be stabbed by listening to a lot of lectures.
âAll right. Excluding undead-related magic⦠Then itâs about ?â
âExactly.â
Lee Han cautiously approached the pit and looked down.
After casting and infusing magical power into the eyes to strengthen the field of vision, the structure under the pit was visible.
âIf the professor fills it with water, it must be a way for the students to swim and dive deeply.â
Looking down the pit, there was a small passage through which one could escape.
There will be simple docks or locks in the passage.
As the water fills up, the field of vision will become narrower, so overcoming such an environment with magic, finding a passage, and solving the poison and lock will be the final exam.
Lee Han, who recalled this far, suddenly felt a question welling up.
âprofessor. If you fill up here with water, is it right to dive in and find that hidden passage? Are there traps in the aisle?â
âoh. thatâs right. Lee Han student. I saw you.â
Professor Garcia responded with a smile when Lee Han clearly grasped it.
âBut why are you standing like that?â
âIâm being careful lest I fall into a pit.â
ââ¦Student Lee Han⦠Iâm not pushingâ¦â
âIâm not sure what you mean.â
Despite Professor Garciaâs words, Lee Han lowered his stance and observed under the pit while maintaining his balance in case someone pushed him from behind.
âAnyway, Professor. I know itâs a structure like thatâ¦â
â?â
As Lee Han lost his words, Professor Garcia was puzzled.
I couldnât understand what that excellent disciple was doing to ask what he was asking.
ââ¦This is the final exam, can I find out in advance?â
Even as he asked, Lee Han was a little nervous.
Even if Professor Garcia belatedly said, âOops! Lee Han student. I said it by mistake. I have no choice but to prepare for a more difficult exam only for Lee Han.â
Of course, Professor Garcia was a good person compared to other professors, but he was a professor anyway.
âah. Doesnât it matter?â
ââ¦Does it matter?â
âAnyway, student Lee Han gets a perfect score. Thatâs why I called.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was speechless for a moment.
noâ¦
no�
âis it?â
It seemed like something made sense, but Lee Han asked once again in a feeling that didnât make sense.
âBut wouldnât it be possible to find out only after taking the test?â
âIâve seen student Lee Han use magic a few times⦠Itâs okay. Because Iâm sure you canât see it. Arenât there other professors who think similarly to me?â
Professor Garcia swung his cane to create a space for students to sit while taking the exam.
And when the exam is over, warm warmth is given to the surroundings so that the body can be warmed up.
âUh⦠I saw you.â
âYes? Didnât those professors tell you to do your own thing during the meaningless exam time?â
âThey gave me something more difficult.â
Han Lee recalled the memory of Professor Alpen saying during the midterm exam, âIt was too easy, so I prepared something more difficult.â
But telling Professor Garcia didnât seem like a good idea.
If that happened, Professor Garcia might have reacted with âAh, such a method?â
âIt was similar.â
In response to Lee Hanâs answer, Professor Garcia nodded as if he knew that.
While preparing for the final exams for the second semester, the professors were complaining about their own grievances.
â After all, the transformation potion must be too difficult. That said, I paid for the firecracker potion last year⦠Itâs annoying, but should I call Wodanaz and ask him to make a test?
-professor!
â Itâs a joke. joke. How is Professor Verdus preparing?
-me? Iâm going to make an artifact out of scrap materials.
-no. Itâs a pretty good test, isnât it? You seem well prepared.
-huh. Gonadaltes told me to do this.
-â¦â¦
-â¦â¦
-Thatâs right. Weâll have to ask Wardanaj to prepare it. I almost forgot
-Professor Verdus. Could you come to the back of the break room for a second?
Of course, there were some unscrupulous professors, but basically there was a strong thought among the professors, âIs there any reason for a student who will get a perfect score to take the test anyway?â
When Professor Garcia was a student, an understanding professor once told him this.
â Garcia. you donât have to take the exam focus on other exams. And when you beat your friend, would you do it with the palm of your hand instead of your fist?
âSo, student Han Lee, prepare for other exams when you have time to prepare for the exam that will get you a perfect score anyway. Not all the other professors will pass the test.â
âthank you. professor.â
Han Lee honestly thanked Professor Garcia for his consideration.
Professor Garcia made this suggestion, of course, because Lee Han had the skills to get a perfect score, but it would have played a big role⦠â¦Rather than
that, he must have had a greater desire to give Lee Han a break from taking too many lectures.
If I didnât have to worry about Professor Garciaâs test, Iâd be able to afford it a little more.
âI must never tell Professor Alpenâs method.â
âInstead, student Lee Han checks the difficulty of the final exam room here for the other students. It is more accurate to see it through the eyes of a student rather than a professor.â
âProfessor Garcia is a wonderful person. I am lucky to have met you.â
âWhy are you doing this all of a sudden?â
When Lee Han spoke in a choked voice, Professor Garcia was very embarrassed.
It was a very sudden compliment.
âI will do my best to check.â
âYou can just check it with a light heartâ¦â
Professor Garcia filled the pit with water, slightly uneasy as the student prepared so passionately.
I just wanted to confirm with a light heart, but I was worried that I might be putting too much weight on the shoulders of an overly sincere disciple.
* * *
Splash!
Lee Han immediately came up, saying how long it had been since he entered.
Lee Han, who swung his cloak with waterproof magic to shake off the water, reported to Professor Garcia.
âI think the water should be darker.â
âah. is it so?â
Professor Garcia took notes with a quill.
Basically, when the water is stagnant, the bottom becomes dark, so I didnât add any magic, but it was still a little bright.
âIs the light source strong?â
âyes. Shall we summon the dark element?â
âwhat are you saying. This student doesnât have to do that. I have to prepare.â
Professor Garcia waved his hand to stop it.
I called to hear a simple impression, but the other person was too sincere.
âAll right. Then againâ¦â
âAh. You donât have to go back inâ¦â
Splash!
After a while.
Lee Han came up again.
âprofessor. The entrance to the passage is small, but there are no other entrances around, so I think you can find it quickly if you stay calm. Why donât we make fake passages?â
âUm⦠I see.â
Professor Garcia took notes again.
Lee Han went in and out again without a break.
â Poison is like a type of poison that obstructs vision, but wouldnât a poison that obstructs breathing be better?
-Iâve opened the lock myself, but a student with good dexterity can open it without magic. How about strengthening it more?
-I thought there would be something when I came up, but I was a bit surprised that there was nothing. After all, wouldnât it be better to add undead?
ââ¦â¦â
Professor Garcia folded the book in which he had been writing notes and asked Lee Han.
âStudent Lee Han. Have your friends acted sadly lately?â
âyes? Is there anything in particular?â
* * *
Lee Han, who came out of Professor Garciaâs classroom, felt a little uneasy.
I was worried that I had not lived up to the professorâs expectations.
âWas my point bad?â
Professor Garcia thought of Lee Han, so he passed the exam and asked, but he couldnât come up with any useful improvements.
My heart was heavy at the thought that the professor might have been disappointed.
âIâll have to fix it a bit more the next time we see each other and bring it back.â
âStudent Lee Han. Next time you come, donât fix it and bring it back.â
Professor Garcia poked his head through the classroom door and shouted. Lee Han asked in surprise.
âDid you see it with foresight magic?â
âno. I saw it through my professorâs experience. Anyway, it really helped me a lot, so donât bring it back after fixing it!â
âyes. All right.â
To be honest, I didnât believe it would have been really helpful, but Professor Garciaâs sincerity was conveyed.
Lee Han went down the stairs with a calm feeling once again.
âoh. Wodanaz! Here it is!â
When a walking beaver called Lee Han, Lee Han pretended not to hear and moved on.
Professor Verdus flew lightly and blocked Lee Han.
âAre your ears blocked?â
âoh. Professor Verdus!! When did you come? I was surprised!â
