Episode 138
The white horse made a fuss as if that was it.
I thought that Sharkan had managed to resolve the misunderstanding with the potion he had brought with him, but looking at the two students, it seemed that they had misunderstanding something else.
You can’t leave it like this!
But Yoner looked at Lee Han with an expression that asked him what he was talking about.
“Isn’t there a possibility that it’s a real griffon? What are you talking about?”
“You said earlier that there were two bright green potions.”
A potion of removing a curse and a potion of animal transformation.
Both potions had the same color, so when Sharkan ran away from the potion box, even Yoner couldn’t tell them apart right away.
What if what the white horse drank was not the gryphon transformation potion, but the curse removal potion?
“But… Lee Han.”
Yoner hesitated, as if he didn’t know where to start.
Lee Han’s words were so absurd.
“No matter what, there’s no way Professor Lightning Walk would transform a griffon into a horse and give it to the students.”
“……”
-……
Lee Han and the white horse were silent.
Yoner’s logic was so perfect.
However, Lee Han did not back down easily.
‘Yoner still has some faith in the professors, but I don’t.’
The professors at the magic school could do anything.
Even if it means turning a gryphon into a horse and forcibly giving it to a new student!
Although it was unlikely, Lee Han felt an uneasy feeling for some reason.
Moreover, it’s a bit frustrating that the white horse and Sharkan keep making a fuss…
“I still want to check.”
“If you say so… how are you going to check?”
“Let’s check out the other green potions.”
“It is dangerous to carelessly give transformation potions to animals.”
Yoner said with worried eyes.
Unlike rational humans, it was difficult for animals to predict how their bodies would react to changes.
“Of course, I have no intention of feeding it to Von League. To Guyanando…”
Lee Han, who was speaking, paused.
Suddenly, I started to care about the name of the white horse.
…No way, right?
‘The lightning-walking professor is so bad that he just calls Griffon’s name backwards… That’s right.’
Lee Han looked at the white horse.
The white horse stared at Lee Han with its deep, large eyes and nodded.
Trust me!
“Are you going to feed it to Guy Nando?”
“huh. “Isn’t that a bit like that?”
“no. “That’s a good idea.”
Yoner agreed without thinking for a second.
I wanted to stop giving transformation potions to animals, but Gainando was okay with it.
“for a moment. Joner. “If you think about it, you could just ask the priests to check again.”
Yoner’s eyes widened at Lee Han’s words.
I know?
“I see…?”
“But you must be busy checking other potions. Should we just feed it to Gainando and check?”
“I’ll leave it to your judgment. Lee Han. “I think anything would be fine.”
The two Blue Dragon Tower students headed back to the tower, plotting a suspicious plan.
The white horse pounded the floor with its hooves and looked at Lee Han’s back with eyes full of anticipation.
This ridiculous false accusation will soon be cleared!
Sharkan chirped as if telling him to wait a little longer. The white horse bowed its head with an expression of gratitude.

monday.
The weekend ended and a new week began with the Spring Festival, but Lee Han’s heart was far from warm and excited.
There was a lecture by Professor Boladi in the morning.
Professor Boladi sighed lightly when he saw Lee Han coming in. It was Lee Han’s first time seeing him.
‘what? ‘It’s so scary.’
It was scary when people did something they weren’t used to doing. It was even more scary if it was someone like Professor Boladi.
Professor Boladi spoke slowly.
“I would have said it was excessive.”
“yes?”
Professor Boladi’s speaking style of starting from the front and back was always new.
Lee Han was nervous.
There was no way to know what the other person would do.
“Do you remember when you defeated the golem?”
“yes.”

Lee Han, who fell for Professor Thunder’s footsteps, defeated the mud golem blocking his path in order to survive.
By pouring in a huge amount of magical energy, a huge water bead with rotating properties was created.
And Professor Boladi heard this strangely and asked, ‘Why are you so greedy? It turned Lee Han’s stomach by saying something like, ‘It’s already got rotation properties?’
Not only does Lee Han have no greed in that regard, and even if he had, Professor Boladi should not have said such a thing.
Isn’t he the one who is the most greedy about magic progress among the current magic school professors?
“I would have told you not to fret then.”
“So I haven’t used the rotation property since then…?”
“I heard that there was an attempt to control multiple water stones.”
“……”
Lee Han was in despair.
Professor Ingalldell: How far has this person gone?
‘I’m going crazy.’
It was clear that there was a time for professors at the magic school to gather together. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have spread so widely.
“The situation was urgent, so there was nothing I could do.”
“I guess so.”
Professor Boladi nodded obediently. Lee Han was not relieved to see that.
Professor Boladi was a person who put on an expression of understanding, but inwardly completed other thoughts with his own logic.
Lee Han’s guess was correct.
Professor Boladi had other thoughts.
‘How difficult teaching is.’
A person who does not follow the path even though it is in front of him was not qualified to be a wizard.
And the boy from the Wardanaz family in front of me was young, but he was more of a wizard than anyone else.
It wasn’t because of Professor Boladi’s advice that Lee Han stopped exploring rotation properties last time.
A true wizard would not stop at giving such shallow advice.
That was only possible if you convinced yourself.
That’s why Professor Boladi also prepared for additional training.
To force focus.
‘But it has to be done.’
Professor Boladi stood up.
I could tell just by looking at Lee Han’s eyes.
That boy from the Wardanaz family will not stop.
Like last time, Professor Boladi had no intention of giving shallow advice.
“Take it.”
“?”
Lee Han was taken aback by the package Professor Boladi gave him.
What is this?
“Look around.”
I opened the package and found what looked like an old cloak. It was clear that there was magic as I could feel the magic power.
“What kind of magic is there?”
“Defensive magic.”
“……”
Lee Han sighed.
Why would Professor Boladi give you a cloak with a defensive spell?
‘It looks like you hit me harder than last time.’
How much are you willing to lose…
But instead of casting a spell, Professor Boladi turned around. Then he opened the classroom door and went out.
“Follow me.”
“??”
Lee Han followed Professor Boladi out, feeling slightly embarrassed.
The classroom hallway located on the first basement floor was dark and devoid of any signs of presence. Even though it was morning, it felt like a completely different place.
“Where are you going?”
“We did elemental detection training last time.”
“I did.”
I wanted to get angry and get him to answer the question, but Lee Han persevered.
Because Professor Boladi was originally this kind of person.
“Your elemental detection ability is sufficient. So much so that I don’t need to train any more.”
“thank you.”
By Professor Boladi’s standards, that was a huge compliment. Lee Han was grateful.
“And gave me a book on basic lightning magic and its applications.”
“I’m reading diligently, but it’s not perfect yet…”
“I didn’t think I would understand everything at once.”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised.
I wasn’t surprised by those words, but I was surprised that Professor Boladi said those words.
No, Professor Boladi says something normal like that?
‘…It’s not that I don’t like it, but the difficulty level of the book seems to be much greater than I thought.’
It was not the time to be happy. Lee Han’s heart became depressed again.
“Element detection ability, control ability, shape transformation ability… are all sufficient, so in fact, it is not strange to try to control multiple water orbs.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han was pleased.
I was glad that it was okay to try it in the first place.
Wouldn’t Professor Boladi’s teachings become a little less harsh?
The professor closed his mouth after saying those words. He strode down the underground hallway and waved his wand at the wall. A hidden staircase appeared.
‘How many hidden paths are there?’
Lee Han followed the professor, taking notes on the route.
After that, when there was no word for a while, Lee Han looked puzzled and asked again.
“So Professor… where are you going?”
I just now asked him where he was going, but he suddenly talked about the training he had been doing and didn’t say anything.
what?
Professor Boladi stopped and looked at Lee Han. There was a faint embarrassment in his eyes.
Like an experienced disciple, Lee Han understood the situation.
‘hmm. ‘I guess he thinks he’s explained everything with what you just said.’
I don’t know how that was explained, but Lee Han wasn’t embarrassed.
“Could you explain in a little more detail? “Where exactly are we going now?”
“I’m going to the dungeon.”
“……”
For a moment, Lee Han regretted asking for no reason.
* * *
Dungeon.
A heterogeneous space with different rules than the outside due to the magical power accumulated in a specific area.
It could be an ancient ruin, a tower built by a crazy skeleton lich to store reagents, or any place.
It would be nice if there was just peaceful magic and different rules, but there were usually monsters in dungeons. It was natural since they were drawn by magic power.
Of course, considering the history of this magic school, there was no way there wouldn’t be a dungeon on campus, either natural or artificial…
‘I didn’t want to step into that with my feet.’
How far did I walk along the hidden underground passage?
Gradually, the bricks began to disappear and become more natural, and the magic of the air became stronger.
And it seemed like the eerie sound of a monster was coming from the deep darkness ahead.
Lee Han looked at the back of Professor Boladi, who was walking ahead.
Would it be easier to defeat Professor Boladi and escape now, or would it be easier to fight the monsters in the dungeon?
Sadly it was the latter.
“professor. Do you have any armor other than a cloak?”
“It interferes with magic.”
Professor Boladi spoke firmly.
It seemed like battle mages would prefer armor in dangerous battlefields, but that was a prejudice.
The wizard had to do his best to focus on his magic. The thick and heavy armor restricted the wizard’s movements and disrupted his concentration.
Still, the noise and chaos of the battlefield were a hindrance to the wizard, so it was better to prepare in advance for this.
‘…But isn’t your life in danger?’
I understood what Professor Boladi said, but there were still some unresolved issues.
It might be better to use magic if you don’t wear armor, but…
Wouldn’t it be more fatal if attacked?
“ah. “Are you using magic to defend yourself instead of wearing armor?”
If that was the case, it made sense.
Lee Han thought of a water shield spell he could use. If he were an excellent wizard, he would be able to use a wider variety of defensive magic.
Professor Boladi, who was walking, turned his head again and looked at Lee Han.
“Using defensive magic interferes with other magic.”
“So… how do you defend yourself?”
“Avoid.”
“……”
Lee Han made his decision.
No matter what Professor Boladi says, Lee Han decides to fight while using defensive magic.
‘I wondered when having a lot of magic would be useful, but it turns out it’s useful in times like this.’
