Episode 114
The group skillfully opened the door behind the central entrance on the first floor of the main building and went inside.
Spaces that were not normally open to students began to appear next to the hallways.
The students of Black Turtle Tower looked at the empty banquet hall and large hall without realizing it.
You might be wondering why there is a place like that and why students have to eat hard bread in the lounge.
Lee Han and Ratford exchanged looks.
-Never let down your guard.
-of course.
Ratford recalled the Thief’s Creed.
‘You have to be twice as careful when returning to the area where you made a mistake.’
Lee Han thought of the skeleton principal.
‘Since the underground passage was opened last time, the defense system must have been changed and strengthened.’
I couldn’t hope to have the luck of going straight into the basement without being noticed like last time.
Crash.
just as expected.
From afar in the hallway, I saw plate armor walking towards me.
* * *
-Anyway, does it make sense to mistake me and the new student?
-……
When it was discovered that Lee Han and Ratford had succeeded in escaping through the passageway of the underground warehouse, the warehouse manager was called in by the principal and reprimanded.
But the warehouse manager did not waver.
-But even if you say that, the amount of horsepower cannot be distinguished.
-Such foolishness… Yes. i get it. Obviously, even if I say this, I won’t be able to change it right away.
The skeleton principal didn’t say anything more about the warehouse manager’s attitude.
The warehouse keeper was very capable of reprimanding Wardanaz for missing him this time.
A person who not only manages materials in an underground warehouse but is also responsible for various miscellaneous tasks such as repair, maintenance, and management of facilities and equipment.
Since they occasionally patrol and catch unlucky students wandering around at night, I couldn’t reprimand them any further for this one mistake.
And honestly, this mistake was an unavoidable mistake even in the eyes of the skeleton principal.
Who would have known that a special breed like a boy from the Wardanaz family would appear in front of a warehouse keeper who uses magic to distinguish intruders?
-I will lend you my summon. Don’t rely too much on magic power, but check for intruders in other ways as well.
-yes. I will do my best.
-If you find a boy from the Wardanaz family, don’t miss it. You must be sent to the punishment room.
-Why should I do that?
-Can’t you just do it?
Anyway, since the conversation with the skeleton principal, the warehouse manager has definitely raised the security level behind the main building and in the basement.
The students did something similar to mice or ants.
Once they know it works, they keep flocking to it from then on.
As such, there was a need to give students even more harsh lessons.
Don’t even dream about it this way!
The summons lent by the skeleton principal will surely capture the students who enter without fear.
The warehouse manager began his inspection by walking around along the designated path again today.
* * *
“It’s walking armor!”
The Black Turtle Tower students whispered in fear.
“Do you know this guy?”
“I’ve met you before.”
The Black Turtle Tower students looked shaken.
How many students were caught because of that walking armor?
As there were no people inside, even if it attacked violently, it gathered its armor and got up again, and even if it barely tied its feet, it immediately called its comrades.
Lee Han was lost in thought.
‘Is there a way to catch it?’
When I heard it, it was a summoned beast that reminded me of Jorvan II, the previous owner of the sandy beach.
A non-living, inanimate type of summon.
But just because he wasn’t alive didn’t mean he was invincible.
If damage exceeds a certain level, the summoned beast cannot withstand any longer and is reverse summoned.
the problem is…
‘The only thing that’s effective is lightning elemental magic, but if I use it now…’
It was not a question of whether they would win or lose in a fight, but the moment they fought, the students would inevitably lose.
Moreover, if you use loud and flashing magic like lightning elemental magic, it will be the same as shouting ‘We’re here!’
‘It would be better to avoid it.’
“I don’t think I’ve found it yet, so it would be better to avoid it. “Did he catch up well?”
“I do not know. “It depends on the time…”
Lee Han turned around to retreat with his group.
Crash.
But before I knew it, another piece of plate armor appeared far behind me.
The expressions of the Black Turtle Tower students turned pale.
“I will lure them…”
“sideways!”

Lee Han opened the door without hesitation. It was the door I had been eyeing to open ever since I entered the hallway.
An old space that seemed to have previously been used as a classroom appeared. All kinds of junk was piled up behind the chair and desk.
Black Turtle Tower students unconsciously looked through the miscellaneous items to see if there was anything useful. It was some kind of occupational disease.
“Once everyone gets their armor in here…”
“Know. Wardanaz. Are you saying we should scatter and run away? Even if someone gets caught?”
When faced with an insurmountable crisis, they disperse and run away to minimize damage.
Black Turtle Tower students were already familiar with this principle.
“no. I’ll shoot you with magic and take you down, so don’t be alarmed and run away. “It will probably be extremely noisy.”
“……”
The students of Black Turtle Tower thought as they saw Lee Han proudly talking about defeating the plate armor.
‘I brought you along well!’
How many people would say that they would take down plate armor like that?
I thought it was a good idea to bring the Black Turtle Tower students.
Shake!
“?”
There was a rattling noise coming from the junk behind me. The students, who were very nervous, turned their heads in embarrassment.
“Did you touch it?”
“No… you?”
Paper and quill came to mind. Then he engraved letters.
-Can’t you be quiet, freshmen?
“You… it’s a ghost!”
-He is not a ghost, but a senior. You stupid freshmen.
The students stopped shaking when they saw the writing on the paper. But I wasn’t completely reassured.
“If you are a senior, why are you doing this?”
“that’s right. “Please show me your face.”
-Don’t be crazy. I don’t want to go to the punishment room. Now this too is extremely dangerous!
“…?”
For a moment, Lee Han wondered what was going on.
‘ah. If you come in contact with a first grader, will the principal send you to a punishment room?’
It was something a skeleton principal could do.
If not, several students who had contact with the senior would have come forward.
-Anyway, lower your voice and talk in writing. Unless you want to be caught by that armor. And don’t say nonsense about new students using magic to defeat them!
Lee Han slightly reflected on the words of the senior whose name he did not know.
Was it that much of a stretch?
“I thought I could use lightning elemental magic… I’m sorry.”
-…You know how to use lightning elemental magic?
The other person seemed slightly embarrassed. The handwriting was trembling.
-But don’t do it because it will make the surroundings noisy. They say I’m getting caught too.
Lee Han and the Black Turtle Tower students realized that meeting a senior like this was a very valuable opportunity.
When will you ever have another chance to talk to someone who came to school first?
“senior. “How can you beat that armor?”
“senior. “Which way is best to take to get to the kitchen from here…”
“senior. “What’s on the <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> test?”
The senior seemed taken aback by the sudden barrage of questions.
-Am I here to answer your questions? Can’t you stay still right now? I don’t even know what kind of armor that is…
Lee Han stopped his friends.
It would have been a loss if I couldn’t hear the story that could have been provoked by my senior.
“Let’s all calm down and listen to what our senior says. senior. “What kind of guy is that?”
The walking armor was a summon often used by the Skeleton Headmaster.
Not only is it not alive, it can wander around the school all day, and it also has the ability to sense heat, so it hunts down unlucky students!
However, the harsher the school becomes, the more students evolve to suit it.
The students also had a few tips.
-Disturbing them with fire magic, deceiving them with an illusion of heat, or covering them thickly to prevent heat from escaping… I created an illusion in this classroom. Even if you open the door, the armor won’t notice. But if you make a lot of noise, it won’t help anything, so everyone, please keep your mouths shut!
‘ah. Is that why I felt a sense of discomfort?’
Lee Han convinced himself.
When I entered the classroom earlier, I felt a subtle sense of discomfort.
No matter how much I looked, nothing had changed, so I thought I must have been mistaken, but it was an illusion that allowed me to sense only the right amount of heat.
‘You can use it this way too.’
Lee Han thought he had learned something good and remembered it. There will be a lot of work to do around school in the future, so this will be helpful.
“I didn’t notice it at all.”
“me too.”
-If you can notice it, does it have to be illusion magic?
The quill moved quickly and wrote. Somehow, the writing seemed to contain pride.
“So what were you doing here, Senpai?”
-……
“???”
-…I was going to the kitchen.
“Good for you! “We were going to the kitchen too.”
“But why did you want to go to the kitchen?”
The senior was silent again. Lee Han asked.
“Isn’t it because you’re hungry?”
“no way. Wardanaz. “I guess so.”
“that’s right. “I’m not a freshman, I’m a senior…”
-…right. There is a reagent hidden in the kitchen, and that’s because I need it.
The senior hurriedly made an excuse. The other students were impressed and said, ‘As expected,’ but Lee Han looked at him with suspicion.
‘I don’t think so.’
-All the armor has passed. Now let’s move.
“Could it be possible to learn illusion magic that fools armor?”
Lee Han asked.
Of course, if I wait, I might be able to learn that kind of magic someday during fantasy magic class, but Lee Han needed that right now.
When you encounter walking armor, you can’t just say, ‘Wait until I learn.’
The senior snorted and continued writing.
-Even though it is taught, it is not magic that new students can learn.
“But at least there’s a way…”
When Lee Han persistently asked, the senior wrote down an explanation as if he was annoyed.
Farhait’s lesser fantasy.
This magic was the magic that fooled the armor that was currently walking around.
As can be seen from the spell ‘Heat, distort the air’, it is a magic that summons an illusion containing heat.
Instead of changing the scenery inside the classroom with this magic, the senior only spread moderate heat like a curtain.
This alone is enough to avoid the gaze of walking armor, and summoning an illusion at the same time consumes a significant amount of magical power.
There was no reason to waste magic power unnecessarily.
‘Freshmans can’t do it.’
The reason I gave this information so obediently was because I thought it would be absolutely impossible for a freshman.
How can I use this magic when I lack everything from how to handle magic to the amount of magic I can use?
It was quicker to let them know and quickly give up than to just refuse.
-New students, quickly to the kitchen…
“Heat, distort the air!”
Along with the spell, an illusion enveloped Lee Han and his party.
To the senior’s eyes from the outside, it seemed as if Lee Han and his group had disappeared.
Since it was his first time casting it, Lee Han wasn’t sure if it worked well.
“Is this done correctly?”
-…It seems like the fantasy aesthetic is a bit lacking… Should I say the colors are weak…
The senior, who had been complaining without realizing it, realized what he was doing and blushed.
What an ugly thing this is!
