Episode 111
The white horse was embarrassed.
Isn’t that the atmosphere right now?
Griffons and humans distrusted each other.
Wasn’t it a touching atmosphere where the griffon’s long-standing distrust was put aside by human devotion and the griffon finally tried to acknowledge Lee Han as its master…?
-Hehe. Hehehe.
The white horse lowered its head again and bumped its head against Lee Han. Lee Han was cold.
“I heard they won’t take off both the bracelet and the belt.”
-……
The white horse was upset.
No!
-Puh hee hing! Phew!!
“As expected, your true colors are finally revealed! “Did you think I would be fooled!”
When the white horse huffed, Lee Han responded as if he knew that would happen.
The white horse got angry and pushed Lee Han away with its head.
No!!!
“are you okay?!”
“are you okay. “I think he’s probably angry because I touched his body without permission.”
“I’m not talking about words!”
Yoner and the students rushed over.
I was worried that Lee Han might have been seriously hurt.
Rowena looked at Lee Han as if it was hard to believe. She came out on a white horse in a rushing river.
…Wouldn’t it be better to be a knight than a wizard at that level?
“It’s really okay, so you don’t have to worry.”
Lee Han said, shaking off the moisture.
The other top students were sorry that the accident suddenly occurred during Lee Han’s turn, but in Lee Han’s opinion, it was not the students’ fault.
The problem was Professor Lightning Step’s evil and twisted plan.
“What… what happened?”
Tutanta and his Black Tower friends, who arrived late, were surprised.
Lee Han suppressed his anger and explained calmly.
“Everyone be careful. “There is a trap from Professor Lightning Walk.”
“…!”
Tutanta and his friends were astonished upon hearing the explanation.
“You did that?! “Even the horse’s life could be in danger?”
“No matter how much it is a test, you are doing too much!”
Unlike other professors, Professor Lightning Walk was a famous adventurer in the empire.
The students who had read and respected the explorer written by Professor Lightning Walk when they were young were shocked by the sense of betrayal.
“Let’s go back and protest. “No matter how much of a test it is, you can’t take a test like this.”
“that’s right. This horse is like my friend now. Go into a place where your friend’s life is in danger? “That can never happen.”
Lee Han was moved by the reaction of his Black Turtle Tower friends.
‘The future of this school might be bright.’
And at that time, Professor Lightning Walk flew in from the sky on a thunderbird.
The thunderbird landed softly and hissed when it saw Lee Han. It seemed like he was upset that he had been deceived by Lee Han last time.
Professor Lightning Walk got off the Thunderbird with Nilia.
The Black Turtle Tower students walked over with determined expressions and spoke.
“professor. “You can’t take this test!”
“I’d rather get an F than risk my friend’s life…”
Instead of getting angry at the students’ defiance, the lightning-walking professor nodded.
“I know. They say the river spirit is acting capricious? I came here to stop you. “Wait a little bit.”
“……”
“……”
huh?
The Black Turtle Tower students looked at each other in confusion.
So it wasn’t Professor Lightning’s trap?
“Didn’t the professor prepare it?”
“what?”
“The river is rising…”
“Trying to wipe out students…”
“Why am I preparing that?! “Are you crazy?”
The lightning-walking professor shouted as if it were absurd.
“Why would I prepare such a dangerous trap that could kill the horse?”
“I… I see.”
“When I think about it, yes.”
‘Shouldn’t we first consider that students might die?’
Professor Lightning Walk loved animals very much. He didn’t know that maybe he cared more than his students.
There was no way a professor like that would send animals to a dangerous place where they might get hurt.
“More than that, the river spirit is acting capricious, so why did you doubt me?”
The students became embarrassed.

When I thought about it, it seemed like the skeleton principal had made me distrust the professors too much.
The lightning-walking professor clicked his tongue and shook his head as if regretful.
‘It seems like the education here improves students’ magic skills but destroys their character.’
* * *
It was Nilia who told Professor Lightning Walk that the river water was strange.
Nilia was the first to arrive.
The water spirit who had made a contract with Nilia noticed the discomfort and sent a signal.
Realizing that the river was strange, Nylia left a mark used by the <Shadow Patrol> for Ihan and Yoner to see later.
-danger. Forbidden.
Then he returned to Professor Lightning Step. Since it was an urgent task, I ran in a straight line instead of a road when heading back.
-professor! The river spirit is acting capricious!
-The horses must be dangerous! Guide me!
…It flew in like a moon like that.
After hearing the explanation of the situation, Lee Han felt a little sorry for Professor Lightning Walk.
‘I was suspicious of the wrong people because of the skeleton principal.’
“no. Rather than that, did you go in ignorantly without waiting?”
Professor Lightning Walk was dumbfounded when he saw the students’ clothes were wet.
Normally, when you see the river flowing wildly, you should think, ‘It must be dangerous,’ and avoid it. What if you go in and think, ‘Oh, it’s a test?’
But the students felt so wronged.
The atrocities committed by the skeleton principal were still fresh in my mind.
“I really thought it was a test!”
“The principal was preparing an underground battle under the sandy beach the other day, so I thought this was a trap too!”
“Shouldn’t the professor have checked the river properly in the first place!”
“okay. okay. I’m sorry.”
The lightning-walking professor calmed the students by waving his hand holding the tobacco pipe back and forth.
What’s wrong with the students?
This magic school is wrong.
“But the river spirit was acting capricious, so how did you manage to give it water? “Have you succeeded in persuading me?”
“They tied it with a rope and went in.”
“……”
Professor Lightning Walk was perplexed.
Of course, when a spirit is angry, persuasion is not always the answer.
A good way to overcome it with force was to tie it with a rope like now.
…That’s because usually students don’t bring ropes when they come to class!
“You brought it, right?”
“Why do you think it’s me?”
Lee Han, who was singled out, proudly protested. The lightning-walking professor had such a proud face that he apologized without realizing it.
“ah. Wasn’t that what you brought with you? sorry.”
“I brought it with me.”
“……”
The lightning-walking professor was about to throw his cigarette but held back.
Nilia, who was listening next to her, tilted her head and asked.
“But why did you go in when I left a no-access sign saying it was dangerous?”
“……”
“……”
Yoner’s face turned slightly pale. Lee Han also turned pale, but thanks to his face, it wasn’t noticeable.
‘shit. From now on, I’ll have to check the signs while walking.’
Nilia taught me, and Lee Han also studied hard, but he didn’t check everything as he walked down the street.
Lee Han promised himself that he would have to check for signs wherever he went from now on.
“Sure… it’s not like you didn’t see it, right?”
“no. I saw it. But the other guys kept insisting on going.”
Lee Han immediately took responsibility. Rowena happened to be far away with her princess.
“As expected from White Tiger Tower, he was so stubborn that I couldn’t break his stubbornness.”
“It really was.”
Nilia was indignant at the two’s words.
After all, nobles and knights were always the problem.
Even when I was in the mountains, I was so annoyed by the sightseeing tourists who did things they were told not to do.
Ignoring the safety rules of hunters working in the field!
“You’re a very arrogant person, aren’t you? “The princess is also disappointed!”
“The original knights are like that. Nilia, don’t say too much. “Because we already said it out loud.”
Lee Han completely blocked the future events. Nilia nodded her head.
Meanwhile, the white horse that had been waiting came up again, bit Lee Han’s sleeve, and pulled him.
“Have we become friends?”
“We didn’t become friends. “It’s a trick of a bastard.”
-Phew! Phew! Phew!
“look. You lose your temper. “You must not be fooled.”
“…?”
Nilia looked at the white horse as if she didn’t understand.
I knew this because it was Nilia who had become friendly with animals in the mountains.
Now the white horse seemed to really like Lee Han.
Does that seem like an action closer to ‘please look at me’?
Nilia said timidly.
“It seems to me like we’ve become friends…”
“What are you talking about?”
Professor Lightning Step, who had calmed down the river spirit, joined the conversation.
Then he was surprised to see a white horse.
‘He recognized me as the owner!?’
Surprisingly, the gryphon, no, the white horse now recognized Lee Han as its owner.
What kind of creature is a griffon?
He had the wings of an eagle and the claws of a lion, and his pride was as strong as the two combined.
Originally, he would not submit to an unworthy and evil person, even if it meant death.
Even if we become friends for a few more years, he is not sure who he will serve as his master or not, but he serves Wardanaz as his master.
Professor Lightning Walk couldn’t believe it, so he rubbed his eyes and checked again.
“What… what happened?”
“yes?”
Lee Han was wary of Professor Lightning Step’s question.
“professor. “I didn’t steal the rope.”
Of course, the Black Turtle Tower students could have stolen it!
“…I’m not interrogating you, I’m just asking out of curiosity, so just answer! “Do you think I am some kind of Gonadaltes?”
Professor Lightning Walk was slightly moved.
I don’t even know who the principal is!
“I’m asking this because I became friendly with that white horse. “He’s such a violent guy that it’s hard to get close to him.”
“aha.”
Lee Han nodded as if he understood.
And then he said.
“That guy is cheating. “He’s a very clever guy.”
“……”
‘Are you a professor?’
Professor Lightning Walk held back and spoke again.
“What happened?”
“Nothing really happened. “If anything had happened, I would have told you.”
When Lee Han said this, the lightning-walking professor took a step back.
This boy from the Wardanaz family had a hardworking and sincere personality. He didn’t tell useless lies.
Yoner was listening next to him and whispered.
“You saved me from the water.”
“ah. That… the river spirit was acting capricious and the horse fell, so I helped it and brought it out.”
Lee Han said as if it was no big deal. The lightning-walking professor paused while thinking about whether that was so.
“for a moment. The horse fell because of the river spirit, so how did you help it and bring it out? Maybe you didn’t have time? “There’s no way he would have already learned intermediate level telekinesis magic or higher…?”
“yes. So I picked him up and brought him out. “I bought some time by casting Water Shield next to me.”
“……”
The lightning-walking professor had to hold the cigarette pipe tightly between his index and middle fingers.
It was so as not to throw it at the outstanding student in front of him who had no idea what he had done.
‘That’s a big deal, then what’s the big deal?’
Now I finally understand.
He risked his life to save someone from a situation where he could have died.
Because of his courage and honor, the gryphon, no, the white horse was recognized as the owner.
As the absurdity wore off, the lightning-walking professor felt proud.
Many arrogant wizards mistakenly believed that knowledge or superior magic was the key to taming animals.
However, in Professor Lightning Walk’s opinion, the true talent lay deeper than that.
A feeling of caring for others more than oneself.
That heart was the key.
How can you not be happy when your student demonstrates a simple but important principle?
-Puh hee hing.
“They said they wouldn’t release me. “Go away.”
-Puh hee hee! Puheeheehee!
“Don’t lose your temper. “I won’t let you go just because of that.”
“……”
In the end, the lightning-walking professor couldn’t hold on and dropped the cigarette pipe.
