âHow could a slime act like that?â
Giselle stared at Lee Hanâs muttering.
I couldnât believe that he was serious.
You really canât guess?!
Lee Han, who felt his friendâs gaze, wondered and asked back.
âDo you have anything to say?â
âNothing at all. stop!â
At Giselleâs cry, the students and knights running from below hesitated.
Lee Han looked at it and thought.
âHow many of them are slimes?â
First of all, it was clear that it was a fake Lee Han, a fake Giselle, a fake Durgyu, but the others couldnât guess who the slime was.
It would be nice if we could attack and confirm it, but in the current situation, if
we didnâtâ¦
I didnât know how the fake Lee Han persuaded them, but I could tell that he did it right.
Because the students were standing behind the fake Lee Han with unwavering eyes.
He wanted to get angry at him for cheating, but Lee Han persevered. You can get angry later.
Now was the time to convince the reverse.
âEven if itâs a shifting slime, it has its limits. The real thing wonât be able to catch up.â
Lee Han exchanged glances with Giselle. The two friends nodded meaningfully.
-Can you convince me?
-of course.
Arenât they friends who have been together for a year?
Even the powerful transformation ability could not deceive the memories.
âsay! Fake Moradi! Why are you doing that when I told you to stop? Are you wondering what kind of lie you might tell?â
âNo, what kind of bastard aâ¦â
He quickly started agitating from the bottom, so Lee Han looked at him wondering what kind of guy he was, and was dumbfounded.
The fake Lee Han was shouting.
âIt really sucks.â
Giselle looked at Lee Han annoyedly, probably thinking the same. Lee Han pointed down and said.
âMoradi. Iâll have to look over there.â
âshut up. I will.â
Clearing her throat, Giselle aimed her sword and shouted at her friends gathered below.
âYou idiots. You know what youâre doing! You are being deceived!â
â!â
âUh⦠Huh?â
At Giselleâs cry, the friends stopped.
It was the image of Giselle, whom she usually shot sharply in the White Tiger Tower resting room.
Then fake Giselle stepped forward and gently persuaded her friends.
âcalm down. friends. Itâs because I was nervous because the fake was discovered.â
âThat⦠thatâs right!â
âAs expected, Moradi.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han and Giselle were at a loss for words.
âNo⦠are you putting fake eyes in your eyes to turn them into artifacts later? how is that moradi? You are so kind!â
At Lee Hanâs cry, the friends down the slope sneered and refuted.
âIs Moradi originally like this?â
âthatâs right. As long as Wodanaz doesnât scratch his temper, Moradi is naturally kind and gentle!â
âSuch ridiculous slander?â
Lee Han was outraged by the white tiger tower studentsâ slander.
Moradi originally had that kind of personality, but it wasnât because of Lee Han.
â¦is not it?
âComing to think of it, I think I was a little more gentle when we first metâ¦â
âWould you like to go down there?â
âno. Youâre going back to your memory to convince me now. More than that, Moradi. Your friends seem to like the way you wear a mask, so why not convince them with that?â
âAre you serious about that?â
âIâm serious. See your friends.â
Giselle looked down the slope and sighed.
It seemed that he was immersed in the conversation he had with Slime while he was away.
âgood. good.â
Giselle kept the anger off her face and managed her expression.
It was a kind and gentle Giselle who came out occasionally when needed.
âEveryoneâ¦â
âThat fake Moradi is acting! Do not listen!â
Fake Lee Han shouted while brandishing his staff.
Lee Han really wanted to kill that slime.
âAs expected, itâs Wodanaz!â
âYou canât fool the eyes of Wardanaz!â
And the white tiger top guys who are being fooled by that slime!
Lee Han growled and shouted.
âNo, Moradi, letâs say that. Does that look like me now? why?â
âeveryone. Donât be fooled by those fake words. That fake is trying to trick you guys. The only person who can protect you is me. Trust me! I am your savior!â
âWardanazâ¦!â
âA guy like youâ¦!â
Lee Han almost grabbed the back of his neck.
Do you believe in saying such mouth-watering things??
âAre you falling for those words now? sincerely?! You guys have to protect yourself, someone will protect you! What if I say something sweet and get over it!â
âDonât listen to the lies! Trust me!â
When the fake Lee Han shouted resolutely, the students of the White Tiger Tower nodded as if possessed.
Compared to the ferocious fakes up there on that slope, the Wardanaj who kept giving them warm words next to them were like the real Wardanaj.
âWrong.â
Lee Han felt frustrated.
I never thought I would lose to a fake with persuasion!
Giselle seemed to think similarly, covering her face with her hands and sighing.
âfor a moment. There is Durgyu. Letâs convince him with Therugyu.â
âI think fake ones will be more popular.â
Giselle reacted cynically to Lee Hanâs words, but she threw the words out anyway.
âChoi. If you are real, tell me once.â
ââ¦â¦â
The fake Durgyu didnât say anything.
â?â
â??â
Lee Han and Giselle were taken aback.
The slime disguised as a fake Durgyu seemed a little unlearned.
Seeing this, the students down the slope were elated and shouted.
âWhoops. you fakes! Durgyu wonât be fooled by that!â
âYouâre not worth answering!â
ââ¦â¦â
While Gisele was shocked, Lee Han opened his mouth after pondering.
âMoradi.â
â?â
âI think they are all slimes.â
âwhat?â
âItâs all slime. It makes no sense other than that.â
âNo matter how much it is, it canât be all slimeâ¦â
Giselle, who said, almost shook for a moment.
is it?
Even if not all, as Wardanaz had said, more than half of them could have been slimes.
Otherwise, that stupidity would not be explained.
ââ¦okay. Quite a number of them could be slimes.â
âyes?â
Lee Han raised his cane.
It was a mistake to think that there were few slimes in the first place and try to solve it with persuasion.
It was all slime!
âGive me some time. Iâll hit it at once.â
âokay. Wipe them all away.â
* * *
Except for the fake Lee Han, the fake Giselle, and the fake Durgyu, all of them were real students.
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han and the others looked down at the students who were beaten and scattered with snowballs with mixed eyes.
âKwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaâ
âI believed itâ¦â
âWhat do you believe in, you idiots!â
Giselle tried to kick her friendâs outstretched back. Lee Han and Durgyu were barely able to get in between and stop them.
âWhat did those slimes say?â
âThere are fakes out there. Be carefulâ¦â
âThatâs why we have to work together to get aroundâ¦â
Lee Han, who had heard that, was dumbfounded and asked back.
âDidnât you ever think to suspect the guys who said that?â
âBecause it looked real!â
âThese bastards will think everything is real if someone gives them candy.â
Looking at the pathetic students with contempt, Lee Han clicked his tongue and stood up.
âOkay, so Iâm resting until the exam is overâ¦â
âThat faker attacked my friends!!â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han sighed as he saw a group of newly arrived students at the bottom of the slope and the fake Lee Han Giselle Durgyu leading them.
âLetâs all get ready to fight.â
âWait a minute. Weâll try to convince himâ¦â
said the fallen White Tiger Tower student, but Lee Han ignored it as if he hadnât heard.
* * *
The next day.
Professor Ingeldell and the Knights of the White Sheep Tree looked at the mountain range with expectant faces.
What kind of faces will the students who endured the cold of the mountains return to?
âprofessor. Canât you just let me know now? What monsters did you prepare in advance?â
One of the knights asked sneakily if he was curious.
All the knights knew about the ordeal of the cold mountains, but even the knights hadnât heard of the monsters that Professor Ingeldell had prepared.
But now that the exams are over soon and the students will be back, it wonât matter too much if you ask them.
Professor Ingeldell said with a shy smile.
âhmm. Iâm afraid everyone will be disappointedâ¦â
âWhat are you saying. Who would be disappointed with Professor Ingeldellâs choice?â
âA hardened bull? Or a wild boar?â
âArenât they monsters that are closely related to the snow as it is a mountain range on a winter day? Like a white-eyed hedgehog or an ice drake?â
Professor Ingeldell, who was enjoying listening to the knightsâ guesses, thought it was time to tell them the correct answer.
âWe have prepared shifting slimes.â
âyes?â
âWhat slime is it?â
âThe shifting slime.â
Professor Ingeldell calmly began to explain. But I couldnât hide that I was a little excited.
Thatâs why I prepared hard for this shifting slime.
âI heard from other professors that you can artificially create monsters like shifting slimes.â
âThat⦠I guess. Because this is Ein Lorgard.â
âI wanted this. When I asked, other professors said it was a very good idea.â
âUhâ¦â
âUmmmâ¦â
Professor Ingeldell, not noticing the subtle change in the knightsâ expressions, continued excitedly.
âI received the slimes and had them observe the students during each lecture. When the final exam week came around, he transformed into something quite plausible. Students have to endure the cold of the snowy mountains while identifying fake friends who come to visit them. Isnât that nice?!â
The professor finished speaking in an excited voice.
Compared to other professors at Ein Lorgard, I had a lot of worries because it seemed like they gave me a flat test, but this time I was a little more confident.
The other professors also said they liked itâ¦
âThat professor.â
âIsnât that a little too much?â
â!?â
It was only then that Professor Ingeldell realized the expressions on the knightsâ faces.
The knights are now in perplexity!
âEven though we train them severelyâ¦â
âI wonder if it would be a little too difficult to infiltrate the trained shifting slime.â
âWouldnât it be traumaticâ¦â
Professor Ingeldell replied in bewilderment at the knightsâ reaction.
âHa, but students should be able to deal with this much. There were a lot of more dangerous things in other lectures.â
Of course, the knights were not convinced.
Because the knights didnât know what was going on in the other lectures!
The articles just thought Professor Ingeldell was exaggerating.
âBut I donât think thereâs any reason for even the professor to take the test like thisâ¦â
âThatâs right. professor.â
âThis is strange. how?â
Professor Ingeldell was sweating and embarrassed.
The situation where all allies retreated from the battlefield and enemies were everywhere was less embarrassing than now.
Is that⦠is it?
âDid I pay too much?â
Professor Ingeldell was confused.
I was sure that I was confident that I had a very appropriate test while talking with other Einrogard professors, but where did I go wrong?
âno. It could be that the Knights of the White Sheep Tree reacted like that because they didnât know Einrogard. If they knew Einrogard, they might think differentlyâ¦â â
Oh. The students are back!â
The knights stretched out their hands and pointed to the entrance to the mountain range.
Students who had spent a day in the mountains were returning in style.
â¦To be precise, only Lee Han and his party were majestic, and the rest of the friends were being dragged on a stretcher and on a sled.
Upon seeing this, Professor Ingeldell immediately returned to his senses.
âah. I overpaid!â
