Episode 125
When Lee Han saw the fallen mouse, an excuse flowed out of his mouth without realizing it.
“I am not a dragon, a lich, or a headmaster.”
Lee Han’s friends nearby looked at him as if wondering what he was talking about. The red fox stretched out its front paw as if to look ahead.
The mouse jumped up and started running away.
“…for a moment! Let’s duel! “Honorable as a noble…”
Lee Han habitually mentioned honor, but then stopped.
Come to think of it, this was a trick that only worked well on the Blue Dragon Tower friends.
-Like a noble, clean up the dishes you eat from.
-Like a noble, look up information about reagents in the book.
-Would you like to walk over that trap like a noble?
Even if you tried to tell a mouse about the honor of a noble, there was no way it would work. Lee Han quickly changed his words.
“…Defend your honor like a mouse!”
Of course, the mouse didn’t listen and ran away into the forest. The red fox looked at Lee Han pitifully. Maybe because I turned into an animal, the sight hurt a little more.
“I can’t help it. “Let’s chase it.”
It was clear that the mouse was the owner of this forest.
He didn’t know why the mouse learned magic and became the master of the forest, but Lee Han just accepted it.
…It could have been possible at a magic school.
“Stand there! “I challenge you to a duel!”
I felt a sense of self-destruction as I chased after the mouse and shouted for a duel, but that wasn’t important right now.
Sharkan made a rattling noise and followed the mouse’s tracks.
The mouse seemed to know that it was being chased as well and launched a counterattack.
“!”
A vine with fruit growing along the road suddenly changed its appearance and turned into a ferocious bald eagle.
Lee Han responded immediately.
“Space, be perceived. And… spring forth!”
As soon as the spatial awareness spell was memorized, the situation around Lee Han quickly entered his mind. The trajectory of a mouse running away from afar was clearly visible.
A large ball of water was quickly created, and according to Lee Han’s will, it turned into water beads and began to spin around.
It started with a simple 1-circle <create water> spell, but it quickly progressed to changing form and maintaining motion.
The red fox Yoner, who was watching from the side, raised his tail in surprise.
‘!?’
I couldn’t help but be surprised that my friend kept progressing several steps ahead in the water magic advance study while he couldn’t see me.
Of course, Lee Han has been good at using water magic for a long time, but…
Isn’t that a faster, more complex, and more sophisticated process than the one I saw last time?
Is it okay?
“Don’t worry. “Because I can catch that much!”
Perhaps because Lee Han understood his friends’ surprised reactions in a different way, he immediately attacked the bald eagle.
The bald eagle, hit by a heavy bead of water flying in a sharp trajectory, returned to the bush with a pop sound.
“Sharkan. Catch him! “Don’t let them escape!”
With a splashing sound, the spring next to me began to bubble up.
The water that had accumulated in the spring took the form of a large slime and tried to rush in this direction.
“Blink!”
Lee Han immediately swung his staff and struck <Create Lightning>.
Although it was a circle 1 spell, it was suitable for this situation as it deals with lightning, the most destructive and fastest of the elements.
Pajik!
A bolt of lightning hit Sam Slime, but he was fine. Perhaps because it was so big, Sam Slime tried to move again.
Lee Han concentrated his magical power and used the following method.
“Dash down, Perkuntra’s thunderbolt!”
Although it is a 2nd circle magic, since it was developed directly by the powerful lightning spirit Perkuntra, its power is in no way inferior to that of higher circle magic…
…But that was a fact that only Perkuntra knew, and Lee Han was still suspicious of this magic.
Strangely, every time I used this magic, the effect was not very good.
‘If it doesn’t work this time, I’ll seal it for a while.’
In fact, the enemies Lee Han encountered were all too strong for a freshman to deal with.
But Lee Han had already made up his mind.
It seems like Perkuntra is a bit of a vain spirit!
Let’s go!
A lightning bolt that rapidly charged and became more intense struck Sam Slime.
Sam Slime shook violently with a tremendous vibration. Parts of the body evaporated, shrinking in size.
But Sam Slime still stood strong.
“Perkuntra!”
Lee Han cursed at the absent spirit and immediately pulled out the morning star.
Nilia was embarrassed and tried to stop Lee Han.
‘I’m already down!’
Sam Slime had already collapsed due to the powerful magic. It was clear from the fact that he didn’t move a single inch.
The fact that it was standing like that right now was just like the water in the spring maintaining its shape due to residual magical power.
However, Nilia’s cries did not reach Lee Han.
Lee Han cut down Sam Slime, who had fallen as the morning star. Only then did the stagnant water lose its shape and disperse.
“It seems like I was deceived by a spirit.”

“……”
* * *
The mouse ran away in a hurry and cast a transformation spell on the surrounding area.
However, the intruder, who looked like a freshman and could not be distinguished from whether it was the principal or a dragon, was skillfully defeated and chased after him.
That was even more suspicious.
If he were really a freshman, he wouldn’t be able to catch up that well.
Even if it is a bald eagle, Han Cheol-soo made slime out of stagnant spring water and attacked it, but it killed it right away without even taking a breath…
No matter how much I thought about it, it was clear that the skeleton principal had transformed.
The mouse trembled with fear.
This magic school was one where the professors did not show much interest even if monsters, demons, angels, or spirits built nests in the corners, but occasionally, if the professor’s feelings were wrong, the professor would personally come and demolish them.
That was clearly the case now.
The mouse didn’t understand.
What on earth did he mess with the skeleton principal?
He’s the type of person who would just spread out a forest in a corner of the hallway and play with the freshmen…
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like such a big mistake.
Rattling!
With the sound of bones crashing, Sharkan jumped out and blocked the mouse’s path.
The mouse was scared and tried to use the next magic, but Lee Han was one step faster.
“Move!”
Lee Han immediately cast a low-level control spell and levitated the mouse in the air to prevent it from escaping.
When he tried to levitate himself with such a rookie 1st circle magic, the mouse counterattacked as if he was dumbfounded.
Transform your body right away…
Squeak?!
The mouse was startled.
The body did not move as if it had been captured by some powerful magic.
Even when I tried to cast the spell, it didn’t work.
The opponent is controlling the mouse’s surroundings with an enormous amount of magical power, leaving no room for other magical energy to enter.
To show such useless control with nothing more than a quill or a floating 1-circle spell.
There was only one reason.
Skeleton principal’s unique and eccentric scare!
Squeak…
The mouse lowered its head to the side as if it had given up.
Lee Han was surprised.
‘Did I… kill him?’
For a moment, I thought it was because I cast <Lesser Control> too hard.
But no matter how much I thought about it, <Level Control> had no such effect. All I had to do was just launch it and control it.
Fortunately, upon closer inspection, the mouse was not dead. It felt like I had just given up.
“hey. Really I…”
Lee Han was trying to explain to the mouse, ‘I am not a dragon, a lich, or a skeleton principal,’ but he stopped.
…Now that I think about it, do I really need to solve it?
I was embarrassed when I saw the mouse use magic earlier, but he was a much higher level wizard than Lee Han.
If he attacked Lee Han by casting all kinds of transformation magic without running away, there was a good chance he would lose.
Moreover, if the misunderstanding is resolved, won’t he attack Lee Han harshly, even if it’s because he feels unfair for running away just now?
In comparison, what if you think of Lee Han as a skeleton principal?
‘Isn’t it possible to get out of the forest right away?’
It wasn’t something I had done once. Didn’t you avoid the warehouse manager’s eyes by imitating the skeleton principal in the basement last time?
The friends tilted their heads and looked at Lee Han.
‘Are you thinking about how to persuade the mouse?’
“Yes. “I am the principal.”
Snap!
The mouse, which opened one eye and tried to sneak a look at Lee Han, closed both eyes tightly again and lay down on its back.
The attitude was that he knew that would happen.
“……”
“……”
He felt the gazes of his friends who had turned into animals, but Lee Han pretended not to see them and ignored them.
“But if you show mercy… and let me and these friends out of here, I will let you pass on making you one of my undead servants.”
Lee Han spoke as darkly as possible.
Lee Han didn’t really know what an undead clan was, but he just blurted out whatever came out of his mouth.
Then the mouse nodded so fiercely that it created wind.
Squeak squeak!
The mouse desperately pointed in the direction, as if he wanted to somehow get the skeleton principal out quickly.
Lee Han and his friends walked along a path in the forest. In the distance, the familiar hallways of the school began to appear again.
“ah. for a moment.”
Lee Han and his friends who were about to leave stopped.
The mouse looked at Lee Han with eyes filled with shock.
Suppose… Is it possible?
“no. There’s one more person. wait for a sec.”
I had forgotten about Gainando.
* * *
Lee Han went back in and came to Kainan Island.
As soon as the white rat saw Lee Han, he cried and clung to him.
“Gainando-kun.”
My friends nodded as if they were convinced. Lee Han placed a white rat on his staff.
Gainando was moved with tears in his eyes when he saw his friends reunited, but was scared when he saw Nilia.
Squeak squeak!
“huh?”
Lee Han looked at Nilia and then at Gainando.
“are you okay. “It doesn’t bite.”
Of course, those words did not reach Guyando’s ears. Guy Nando hid in his coat pocket.
Instead of forcibly removing Gainando, Lee Han took out only the beer candy inside and moved it to another location.
“Then goodbye. Forest mice. “I’ll see you again if I happen to pass by here in the future.”
Yoner, who was listening next to him, tilted his head.
…Isn’t that a threat?
In fact, the mouse seemed to have accepted it that way and trembled.
In the end, the mouse squeaks and takes out the treasure it had dug on the forest floor.
It was a mysterious bone full of magical power.
Squeak…
The mouse took this and looked at Lee Han pitifully, as if asking him to move on.
Of course, Lee Han had no interest in bones. Maybe Professor Mortum would know…
Rattling!
At that moment, Sharkan rushed forward. Bone and bone became entangled, and the empty parts of Sharkan were filled.
“…!”
As the once scrawny summoned animal now looked complete without a single flaw, the friends exclaimed in awe at the mystery of summoning magic.
Lee Han was thinking differently.
‘…Did you say how dangerous Sharkan is?’
According to Professor Lightning Walk, Sharkan was a very stubborn and violent guy.
Right now, it’s imperfect and obedient, but when it becomes perfect, its original personality from when it was alive may come out!
‘Should we bet on the slim possibility that Professor Mortum was considerate of the new students, or on the obvious possibility that he forgot the safety rules?’
Of course it was the latter.
Lee Han immediately grabbed the staff and looked at Sharkan.
“…Sharkhan?”
At his master’s call, Sharkan ran right away and did not kneel.
However, it did not rush towards Lee Han and aim for his neck with a ferocious roar, baring its bone fangs.
Sharkan is just…
I ignored it and pretended not to hear it.
When I called again, he fell down and put his head on the ground.
“???”
My friends were confused because they couldn’t understand why the bone summoner was doing that.
Hunter Nilia was the first to notice.
That…
‘It seems like a rebellious period…?’
There was a time when even the loyal dogs and wolves raised by hunters did not listen to their words as they grew up.
This was because as the soul matured, a sense of rebellion arose.
‘…But do undead bone summons also have resistance?’
Nilia found it hard to believe so she just blinked.
