However, once lost trust never returned.
The White Tiger Tower students who came down on stretchers glared at Professor Ingeldell with eyes like puppies who had been scammed of their trusted snacks.
âEveryoneâ¦â
The students turned their heads.
âIâm sorry everyone. I misunderstood the difficulty of the test.â
âIt could be.â
Lee Han, who had brought his friends to the front, responded reflexively.
When Giselle, who was next to him, looked at him like a madman, Lee Han made an excuse.
âsorry. habitually.â
When the professor apologized, he couldnât help but say âItâs okayâ out of habit.
âDid you get hit by the slimes?â
The knights were amazed and asked.
The number was too many for the slime to inflict on them.
The shifting slime was a puzzling and embarrassing monster, but it wasnât an incredibly powerful monster either.
I thought that if some of the students who suffered first were born, the remaining students would respond on their own
â¦
âAnswer me.â
The knight of the White Sheep Knights called the apprentice knight in a stern voice.
This final exam was not only a test for Ein Rogard students, but also a place to evaluate the abilities of apprentice knights.
The mistakes made by Einrogardâs students are to be admonished by Professor Ingeldel, but the knights must be admonished to the mistakes of the apprentice knights.
âIf you knew that transformation-type monsters had appeared, there would have been ways to respond?â
It was best to keep a distance between monsters such as shifting slimes by dividing them among confirmed people.
It was this type of monster that was not very patient, so if you endured like that, someday it would reveal its loopholes.
âThat⦠it wasnât the slime.â
âYou werenât attacked by a slime?â
When the apprentice knight looked up and said, the knight was surprised.
âah. Right. Have you ever met a giant?â
âAre there giants in the mountains!?â
The apprentice knight was surprised.
The other colleague next to him was shocked at the reaction and whispered.
âI thought it was a rumorâ¦â
âKeuhmm! Never mind that. Anyway, if youâve met other monsters, youâll understand.â
If that was the case, it made sense.
If the studentsâ plans are changed because of the shifting slime and they are attacked by another monster while moving quicklyâ¦
âWhich monster is it?â
âThat is true.â
The apprentice knight looked up and stretched out his finger. The finger was pointing at Lee Han.
â?â
âI was attacked by Wardanazâ¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The knights were silent as if they were at a loss for words. The apprentice knights also read the atmosphere and bowed their heads in shame.
âTell me what happened.â
The apprentice knights did their best to explain.
The shifting slimes that transformed into Lee-Hanâs party were so cunning and clever that they attracted the students well, and this guy tricked them into attacking the real Lee-Hanâs party⦠ââ¦Thatâs right.
â
âBut wouldnât all of these people have suffered that way? Why did you guys fall down?â
The other apprentice knights did their best to explain.
The shifting slimes who transformed into Lee Han and the othersâ¦
âStop! stop!â
The knights blushed and shouted.
Everyone gets hit the same way!
Even if one or two people get hit like that, itâs normal to be suspicious and vigilant after that, but it was embarrassing.
âno! The test is a competition, but no matter how close you are, you can trust others so easily! What did you learn!â
âBecause Wardanaz looks so trustworthy⦠Hehe. I was wrong.â
The knights of the White Sheep Knights reflected on themselves.
Professor Ingeldellâs test was not excessive. Rather, they were too complacent.
âI took care of you wrong. You canât even respond to a situation like this.â
âOh noâ¦! I couldnât help it because those Einrogards were tricked first!â
ânoisy! Where are you making excuses? If you go back, itâs training!â
While the apprentice knights were being scolded, Professor Ingeldell apologized to the students once again.
âeveryone. In the future, I will never prepare for a test like this as my first year final exam. Everyone has been through a lot.â
âno.â
â?â
Lee Han, who was listening, turned his head.
What crazy student said that in front of a professor with a sword?
âprofessor. Next year, I would like to prepare first-year students for such an exam.â
ââ¦youâre right! Itâs too bad that we have to go through this test alone.â
âItâs not the professorâs fault! We understand your sincerity!â
The White Tiger Tower students gnashed their teeth and shouted.
âeveryone!â
âprofessor!â
The students hugged Professor Ingeldell and staged a touching reconciliation.
Lee Han was stunned by the sight.
âNo, these scumbags.â
Doing such a thing because it is unfair that they are alone!?
* * *
âWhat?â
Lee Han, who arrived at Professor Mortumâs studio Dark Hall to take the black magic test, was puzzled when he received the test paper.
âprofessor?â
âCoke. why?â
âOh, is this all?â
âokay. why?â
âitâs nothing.â
Lee Han looked around the classroom with a wary gaze.
But there was nothing in the classroom.
Gainando, who was sitting next to him, stared blankly at his friend who was eating a sandwich and doing strange things.
Raphael, who was worse off, asked Cainando.
âWhy are you doing that?â
âuh? what?â
âWardanaz. Wodanaz.â
From a while ago, Wodanaz was wary of his surroundings like a knight infiltrating enemy territory.
It was to the point where even Rapad-El was bothered by that appearance.
Is there anything around here?
âIsnât Lee Han originally like that?â
ââ¦â¦â
Raphael regretted asking the prince.
âThis bastard wonât even notice if Wodanazâs head disappears.â
âCoke. Wardanaz County. There is nothing hidden in the classroom.â
âIs that so?â
Lee Han summoned a paper bird and tried to check outside the classroom. Professor Mortum sighed and said.
âThere is nothing hidden outside the classroom.â
âah. okay.â
Lee Han cast to try to figure out Professor Mortumâs emotional color.
Seeing that, Professor Mortum thought he should just explain.
âCoke. The last midterm exam was so noisy. So this final exam is going to be simple.â
ââ¦I canât believe itâs because the schoolâs reagents are all gone?â
Lee Han asked in a worried voice.
Judging from what the seniors said the other day, the school of black magic was not a school with a generous budget.
Even during the last midterm exam, the reagents were not enough, so the seniors were groaningâ¦
â⦠Cough, did the seniors say anything else about the school of black magic?â
Professor Mortum became suspicious of what these immature seniors were talking about.
Did he whine, âIâm going to die because we donât have reagents for our schoolâ, even if he couldnât show his dreams and hopes to the bright freshman?
I was shocked to hear that the other day a freshman went to another school and borrowed reagentsâ¦
âWhat are you talking about?â
âThe circumstances of the school of black magic are in troubleâ¦â
âIt has never been like that.â
If Professor Mortum was a master of black magic, Lee Han was a master of student management.
The moment the professor asked, he already knew the other personâs intentions.
Gainando, who was listening from the side, tilted his head.
Obviously, the seniors sayâ¦
âOh, go like a dog in our school!â
Lee Han slapped Gainandoâs side in an invisible position. Guinando bowed his head forward.
ââ¦Anyway, the school of black magic isnât that difficult. Cool. So donât think about it and solve it calmly.â
âyes. thank you.â
Lee Han was a little relieved by Professor Mortumâs words.
There were no special pitfalls, but it really seemed like this was a test.
Of course, this could also be a trick. Lee Han decided to relax moderately, including that possibility.
An excellent mage must assume all possibilities.
Choose one of the following creatures that lives in the undead realm.
1. Skeleton
2. Quenee
3. Sand Octopus
4. Rock Drake
5. Shade Ghost
âHmm.â
Lee Han received a problem and thought.
It looked easy at first glance, but it was a trap problem.
âSkeletons are not creatures.â
The answer was ânone of theseâ. Lee Han wrote down the answer with a quill and moved on.
Gainando, who was next to him, looked at Lee Han triumphantly and said,
âLee Han. Is it too easy?â
âDid you see the problem correctly?â
âof course!â
âThis child. Iâll have to check it out when itâs over.â
Lee Han intended to scold Gainando if he wrote down the skeleton.
What if I was fooled by such a childâs play trap problem?
âThis limit is also true.â
On the contrary, Gainando was angry with Lee Han.
If you studied together like that, you should trust your friend Did you read the problem correctly?
Choose one of the following creatures that lives in the undead realm.
3. Sand octopus
No matter how much I thought about it, the only correct answer was sand octopus.
* * *
âMe. professor.â
After all four of them handed in their test papers, Raphael carefully raised his hand.
Gainando ate the leftover sandwich and stared blankly at Lapadel.
âStill, I want to confirm that I practiced for the second semester regarding summoning the undead.â
âOuch.â
Guinando almost spit out the sandwich.
âAre you crazy!? The test is over!â
ââ¦Still, Iâll have to check the summoning practice. The test is what it says.â
âWhat kind of nonsense are you talking about! itâs crazy!?â
Yihan and Ymirg also looked at Rapadel in amazement.
I didnât know that Raphael would say something like that.
âWhat are you thinking?â
Professor Mortum asked coolly.
âYou seem to have become very friendly with your summoned beast.â
âAh⦠no! We are not friendly!â
Raphael was shocked and denied it.
How could you say that to a man from an honorable family of knights who learn black magic to deal with black magicians?
But Professor Mortum nodded knowingly.
âCoke. Originally, all warlocks who learn to summon the undead are like that.â
Unlike other summoned beasts, undead summoned beasts had a rough temper and did not listen to their masterâs orders well, seeking opportunities for rebellion.
However, if you endured such problems and trained them, at some point you could find yourself using undead summons as easily as limbs.
The pride at that time was to the extent that I couldnât dare compare it to other summoned beasts.
âis it?â
Lee Han was puzzled by Professor Mortumâs words.
It was something I didnât really agree with.
Even though the undead were fussy, it was also an act, but summoning the undead gave me a sense of accomplishmentâ¦
âYouâre thinking useless, this guy.â
Professor Mortum clicked his tongue as he looked at Lee Han.
Well, it was natural for Wodanaz to not be very sympathetic to those words.
âI must have had a realization recently⦠Coke. okay. There is still time left, but letâs simply add undead summons.â
Gainando gave a short scream, but Professor Mortum had no intention of overturning his decision once.
âYou are this child. Why are you here? Didnât you hate black magic? Come back to the you you hated!â
ââ¦still not very fond of it.â
âYou are lying!! Thatâs a complete lie!! A guy who says he doesnât like it prepares so much!?â
While Gainando was holding Rapadel by the collar, Lee Han raised his staff to do it first.
âIâd prefer a dark element skeleton warrior.â
Among the many undead summons, it was the one that could move with the most confidence.
Recently, thanks to repeated efforts, it was possible to dance if only one object was summoned.
A perfect score for a skeleton dancerâ¦
âCollock. Wardanaz-kun.â
âyes?â
âYou donât have to show me.â
ââ¦â¦â
