Chapter 579

“How does the phone league know that?”

Lee Han protested and looked suspiciously at Professor Lightning Step.

He suspected that the lightning-walking professor was lying to tease Lee Han.

How did the Phone League know that I was riding a Pegasus?

“Of course you know. Don’t underestimate a griffon’s sense of smell. Because it’s not just a sense of smell. Especially if it’s a species like Pegasus, I’ll catch it even more.”

Of course, Professor Lightning Walk dismissed the student’s protest as if it were absurd.

Just as Pegasus senses the sincerity and honor of its owner, the Griffon was able to keenly detect whether or not the owner was riding another animal.

Wouldn’t it be better

if it was an animal that griffon despises, like a horse or wyvern? If it’s an animal that griffon hates, like a pegasus…

“Perhaps Pegasus will die or Gryphon will die. You… I don’t think you will die.”

“……”

Lee Han looked at Pegasus without a word.

Brilliant white fur with soft wings. Pegasus, who had kind eyes, sighed slowly as if he knew the value of Lee Han.

It was as if he was telling him to come quickly and ride himself.

“…no. Is there really no way?”

“I would have told you if there was. Why are you doing this? How lucky Gryphon chose you!”

“Isn’t the professor forced to weave it together!”

“I hope he doesn’t appreciate it. Bring Griffon quickly.”

Lee Han grumbled and moved to bring the phone league.

Pegasus let out a sad cry as if asking where he was going.

“……”

As Lee Han’s footsteps stopped at that cry, the baby basilisk hissed and threatened.

“hey. Don’t threaten me.”

The basilisk shrugged its tail and put on an expression of ignorance.

When Lee Han brought him back after briefly lifting the phone league’s curse, some of his friends who progressed quickly were already friendly with the Pegasus.

Ponrig saw it and showed very blatant disgust.

“…Is it necessary to hate Pegasus so much?”

When I asked a sneaky question, Ponrig hit the mud with his forepaw and threw it away. Mud landed on the back of the poor Guyando’s head.

“who is this!? Ango you. This bastard?!”

“You noticed. okay. It was I who took your cake. You shouldn’t have been bragging about your cake all week!”

“What bullshit! It’s about mud!”

While the friends were talking, Lee Han looked at the phone league with a bitter expression.

Seeing them growl as if threatening the Pegasus, reconciliation seemed impossible.

‘Kuh.’

Pegasus’ reaction was invaluable, as every living creature he met usually showed only three reactions: fear, fear, surrender.

A creature that recognizes what Lee Han has done and respects his honor.

Will I ever encounter such a creature again?

The phone league stared at Lee Han. It was as if he doubted whether he was interested in Pegasus.

“…look at those Pegasus! I can’t burn anyone because I’m so skinny!”

Phone League nodded excitedly at Lee Han’s words.

“Compared to that, your appearance is truly the King of the Sky itself. It can’t even compare to Pegasus.”

Ponrig’s nodding was so fast that the wind blew all around him.

“Yes, yes. you are the best.”

“really. Wodanaz. If you come to the Pawn League, the Pegasus may be scared, so turn that way separately.”

“……”

Lee Han was hurt by the professor’s candid lightning steps.

‘Isn’t that too much?’

“Look at this! It’s flying!”

Nylia screamed and flew into the sky.

As much as they became friends with Pegasus the fastest, the order of flying was also the fastest. Lightningwalker shouted.

“Keep your back straight! Don’t show your timidity! Pegasus is not a violent one, but he can despise you if you keep getting scared! Convince him that you deserve to ride him!”

“Four yes!”

“Then follow the flag and turn around! If you come back without falling, you pass!”

Nylia looked at the flags pinned to the ground and the roads in the sky painted with light.

The road stretched all the way through the sky, and at some point went down close to the ground and ended up in a mud swamp.

Nelia looked at Pegasus nervously for a moment.

Will this lofty creature trust Nilia and pass it through the swamp?

“hey. hey. hey. kill the character hey! That’s not the way!”

“……”

Nilia, who was nervous, saw a familiar friend in the distance riding a beast with the lower body of a lion and the upper body of an eagle, and her tension was relieved in an instant.

Lee Han was getting angry as he hit Griffon on the head with his staff.

“Stop watching Pegasus. go down the road stop growling! he’s my friend! Follow the road!”

‘…cheer up.’

Seeing Wodanaz struggling, Nilia realized she was very lucky.

“thank you. really.”

-?

Pegasus purred pleasantly when the dark elf master suddenly thanked him.

He was truly a good owner.

Professor Lightning’s test became a hot topic for a while even after the test was over.

The first year students, from any tower, were talking excitedly about Pegasus.

“So that Pegasus obviously liked me better? Did you see him turn his head when he came to Dulac?”

“That was just because I was tired! Where do you harm me!”

“Is there any way to raise Pegasus? It was really nice.”

“There is a senior knight I know, and he said he climbed the mountain and brought out a Pegasus cub.”

“oh…! How is that?”

“for a moment. Can I bring you out that way?”

“No. They said the inn was destroyed and Pegasus disappeared while he was away for a while.”

“Hey…”

The White Tiger Tower friends, who were actively exchanging opinions, looked at Lee Han next to him and asked.

It was because he was well-informed in this area as he was the top of his grade.

“Wardanaz. What do you think? Is there any way we can raise Pegasus?”

“Wouldn’t you like to go catch one together during winter vacation?”

Lee Han replied with an expressionless face.

“I have a griffon.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have Pegasus too?”

“They say that when a griffon smells a pegasus, it bites its owner.”

“……”

“……”

The White Tiger Tower students hated it.

I knew that the griffon was one of the most violent among the mounts, but I didn’t think it would be that bad.

It was ferocity that could not be compared to Pegasus.

“I hear Griffins are ferocious.”

“But isn’t the griffon cool too? Is there any way to save Griffin?”

“It must be harder than Pegasus. Like I said before, if I had brought out the griffon cub, the inn would not have been destroyed, but the surroundings would have been a sea of blood.”

“no. Even taking that into consideration, Griffin is worth it. There is a senior knight I know, and he praised Griffon like that.”

“what? Do you have a griffon??”

“no. They say an arm was blown off by a griffon on the battlefield.”

When friends who didn’t notice kept trying to turn Lee Han’s outfit inside out, Durgyu looked at him and started talking.

“Lee Han. don’t mind too much Why does everyone say such a thing without knowing how tricky a griffon is?

“You don’t have to worry. Durgyu. I was thinking of another exam.”

“ah. okay?”

At Lee Han’s words, Durgyu’s face brightened.

Since Professor Ingeldell’s final exams are about to begin in the evening, it was a good sign that Lee Han was paying attention.

“okay. Of course, Griffin tried to charge Pegasus earlier, so I managed to stop him, but I don’t really care.”

“……”

“……”

‘You care so much…’

Durgyu and Giselle thought to themselves.

Of course, Lee Han had a particularly hard time in this Professor Lightning Walk test.

Griffon, who usually listened well, kept growling and arguing with Pegasus as if he had any grudges.

It was not usually stubborn to stare at Pegasus regardless of Lee Han hitting him with his cane and pulling his leash.

“hey. Wodanaz. Forget the test you got a perfect score on and focus on the next one.”

“You are right. Moradi. Shame on you.”

Lee Han admitted it without hesitation, which is rare.

In any case, there was no reason to cling to the exam that was over.

Although the image of Pegasus was still lingering in my eyes

…

“Three places. We also shared food and hid it.”

“I also made two and hid them.”

Lee Han and the two White Tiger Tower students exchanged meaningful glances.

Professor Ingeldell’s final exams were originally meant to be an overnight camping trip barefoot in the cold winter mountains, but seasoned Einrogarde students interpreted the exam in a slightly different way.

-It’s a test to hide a lot of supplies in the mountains as unnoticed as possible!

Of course, Professor Ingeldell never said a word like that, but Lee Han and his friends understood it on their own.

“Do you have any information yet on where to start?”

“doesn’t exist. The professor didn’t give me a single clue.”

“Let’s take the direction from where we started and move quickly. This is a recent mountain range map. There are a lot of things missing, but just looking at the parts that come out will help.”

“thanks…?”

Giselle, who was looking at the map, tilted her head.

The handwriting on the map was strange no matter how you looked at it.

Sheep cave

majesty! near access!

It was big and crooked, as if it had been painted by a giant.

‘Where did you get it?’

Cheek Chuck-

“…?”

“No, why those children again?”

When young apprentice knights of the White Sheep Knights walked up to them, the students of Einrogard hated them.

It was the same during the last exam, but I’ve never been happy when outsiders came.

Besides, the students were already preparing for the exam in their own way, but let’s make a sudden change…

“Professor. Why did those knights come?”

“Does the White Sheep Knights have enough time? Why do you keep coming to Ein Lorgard? Do you want to learn magic?”

The apprentice knights blushed at the words of the White Tiger Tower students.

“These bastards are here to help!”

“Is that what you say to the person who came to help you in the test you are about to go through! Did you forget the last time we greeted each other with a handshake?”

“???”

The apprentice knights’ words shocked the students.

“Are you here to help?”

“I will explain.”

Professor Ingeldell tapped the floor with his sword as if telling everyone to calm down.

“I thought it would be better to add a little more people as the students have to split up and spend the day in the mountains.”

“Then let’s just join our groups!”

“Wardanaz! Let’s join us! what? I will do it together! okay! great!”

Ignoring the protests of the White Tiger Tower students, Professor Ingeldell continued.

“When you go out, there will be a lot of things to do with other people. Especially if you’re a mage, there’s not a lot of things to do alone.”

‘hmm. I want to tell Professor Voladi.’

Lee Han thought to himself as he listened.

How nice it would be if Professor Voladi thought the same way.

“As a sorcerer, learn how to work in harmony with others. more!”

Professor Ingeldell was not a violent man, but he was not soft enough to turn a rule once set into a protest.

The students grumbled and looked at the apprentice knights.

The apprentice knights were glaring at the students with very grumpy faces.

“…Actually, it was because I didn’t want to make it hard.”

“go away!”

“ah. Come on. Enge! We trained hard at the dorm together during our vacation!”

“I don’t know a guy like you!”

Fortunately, Lee Han and Gisele Durgyu kept their mouths shut.

Maybe that’s why the apprentice knights didn’t get angry at the three and waved their hands happily.

“Choi. We met the other day and we meet again.”

“nice to meet. Moradi. I heard you subdued the anti-magicists together with Wardanaz the other day? Would you recommend Wodanaz to the Order as a family name?”

‘haha. There seems to be a misunderstanding, but how would you recommend someone from the Wodanaz family to the Knights?’

“Are you out of your mind or crazy?”

Lee Han, who had been listening to Giselle’s words, whose innermost feelings had inadvertently burst out, whispered softly.

“Hey, I have to think to myself.”
