Episode 148
“That’s right.”
“?!”
Yoner was taken aback by Ihan’s reaction.
This was the first time in my life that I heard that undead need to rest.
Could it be that such a change occurred in the dark magic world without Yoner’s knowledge?
“If you have to stand guard, how will you stand?”
Hmm… I guess I’ll have to select a few people from each tower and have them roam around at night.
‘No matter how much I think about it, it’s not a very useful method.’
Lee Han didn’t think that just because a few new students were wandering around at night, he would be able to find and catch the intruders.
On the contrary, it felt like I would be caught.
“Isn’t it a little dangerous?”
There’s nothing to worry about. Even if an emergency situation arises, all summoned animals can respond.
‘They say even undead need to rest…’
Although the skeleton principal immediately denied what he had just said, Lee Han answered without wavering.
“Is that really so?”
‘The skeleton principal might be more dangerous.’
He was already a person who made magic fireworks to shoot, or rather use, at students.
It felt very suspicious that they were somehow trying to force freshmen to take a walk at night.
“You’d better be careful.”
“huh?”
After the skeleton headmaster left, Ihan muttered, and Yoner looked at him quizzically.
Since we’re watching for intruders, shouldn’t we be careful?
“yes? “Because we don’t know who the intruders might be…”
“no. “Not the intruders, but the principal.”
“……”
* * *
Nilia held her bow tightly and took a step forward. The steps were quite brisk.
Surprisingly, the students of other towers obediently accepted the skeleton principal’s instructions to patrol at night.
Students like Lee Han had the mindset that ‘if I want to go out, that’s the right time to go out,’ regardless of whether there was permission or not, but in fact, many students rarely went out after evening.
To the extent that rules are rules, we are reluctant to do so.
However, I couldn’t help but be excited because they gave me permission to move around legally.
In comparison, Ratford, who was following Nilia, had a serious expression.
“what’s the matter?”
“You shouldn’t look down on thieves. “They may be hiding somewhere at any time, waiting for an opportunity to steal.”
Like a professional thief, Ratford reacted very sensitively to the principal’s words that ‘thieves may enter the school during the spring festival.’
Aren’t thieves the ones who make fun of their hands whenever they get the chance?
“It didn’t seem that bad…?”
Nilia tilted her head.
If it was that serious, I don’t think the principal would have asked the students to patrol.
“Aren’t you just telling me to walk around just in case? Do you want to feel the festive mood?”
“Sure… I would be glad if that were the case.”
Ratford nodded.
The festival was not just about laughing, talking and enjoying the event.
Preparing for the festival, patrolling, and preparing for thieves were all ways to enjoy the festival.
It was the same when Ratford was in town.
People had more fun preparing for the festival than attending the festival.
“yes? “It won’t be very dangerous.”
“yes. “It reminds me of the old days.”
“Wow… have you ever prepared for a festival?”
Nilia looked at Ratford enviously.
I’m not ashamed of being born and raised in the mountains, but there were times when I envied people from the city.
It was a time like this.
While students born and raised in the city were enjoying various festivals and city entertainment, Nilia was holding a bow and chasing game up and down the mountains!
“yes.”
“Huh, how was it?”
“Enjoyed. “I was able to make a lot of money thanks to identifying loopholes while preparing.”
“……”
Nilia decided to pretend not to hear.
“excuse me. I see a light over there. “Let’s go.”
“yes.”
When Nilia saw a light in the distance, she walked over to check it out.
‘Are they other top students?’
Neither Neilia nor Ratford were too worried when they saw the light.
It wasn’t that far from the tower, and people who turned on the lights so openly weren’t usually intruders. What kind of intruder would act like that?
That’s definitely another top student…
-■■■■■!
“That… Gryphon!!! Ratford! “Dodge back!”

“!!!”
Nilia immediately put an arrow on her bow and prepared to shoot.
A gryphon!
I couldn’t believe it.
Who would have thought that a monster that is hard to find even in the mountains would exist here on the grounds of a magic school.
‘I heard all kinds of monsters are coming out, but it’s too much!’
Nilia observed the griffon without hastily shooting. She said she was scared for no reason, but shooting quickly only irritated the other person.
If the opponent has no intention of attacking this side, just skip over…
“Nilia. grow! calm down!”
“Whoa… Wardanaz?”
Nylia was confused when she heard a familiar voice coming from Gryphon.
“okay.”
“You transformed into a griffon?!”
“…Look behind the griffon!”
Only then did Nilia, who was embarrassed, realize that there were two friends behind the griffon.
It was not visible because it was obscured by the large size of the griffon.
“ah…!”
‘You transformed into a griffon? ‘What did she always think of me?’
Lee Han thought so in his heart as he greeted Nilia. Ratford, who had fallen because his legs were weak, also hurriedly stood up.
“Uh… is that?”
“Calm down. “Because I can explain.”
“You transformed a horse into a griffon?!”
Nilia looked at Lee Han in surprise at Ratford’s words.
no way?!
Lee Han shook his head resolutely.
“no.”
“No? Of course I thought so…”
* * *
After the skeleton principal left, Lee Han finished checking the surroundings and brought out phone league.
Then, he and Yoner carefully administered the potion.
-You said the curse cannot be completely lifted, right?
-huh. He said that if it returns to its original state over time, it will be impossible to completely lift it because the power of the curse is stronger than the power of the potion.
-Why on earth is such a strong curse… No. It would be meaningless to ask.
pop!
-……
With the curse lifted, Vonrig, who returned from his horse to his griffon, glared at Ihan and Yoner with resentful eyes.
It was the look in his eyes that said, ‘What did I say?’
Yoner saw that and whispered as if he was worried.
-You said that the griffon is a very fierce and vicious monster. Doesn’t it attack you?
-But Joner. I heard that once a griffon is loyal, it will remain loyal.
-But we continued to have doubts.
-Uhm. That makes sense. Should I keep some distance?
-■■■■! ■■■■!!
The griffon howled violently in protest and hit the ground with its front paws.
-Phone League. It’s a misunderstanding. I believe in you.
-……
Gryphon glared at Lee Han with eyes full of sadness and resentment.
Lee Han had to brush the gryphon hard to calm it down.
Just when Gryphon was relieved of his sorrow, his friends appeared.
“Indeed… it was not Wodanaz who transformed me, but the professor who transformed me?”
“…I don’t know where to start pointing this out…”
Nilia trailed off as if she was embarrassed.
Even the lightning-walking professor, who seemed fine, was doing something like that.
Who on earth should I trust?
Whether Nilia said it or not, Lee Han told the two Black Turtle Tower students.
“Both of you, if the principal says he’s doing something, don’t get close. Especially if they try to set off magic fireworks, avoid them at all costs.”
“what? okay.”
“yes. “I will avoid it.”
The two friends, who had grown up in a dangerous environment, took it for granted when they heard the warning.
You can ask why later.
“Are you guys patrolling at Black Turtle Tower?”
“yes. He said we could just follow the tower and circle around it.”
“Thank goodness.”
“?”
Nilia was surprised by Lee Han’s words.
“Have intruders really come in dangerously large numbers?”
“no. “I caught one of the intruders earlier.”
“?!”
“The principal is more dangerous than that.”
“?!!”
“What did you two do at the festival?”
Although she was more curious about the story about the principal being dangerous, Nilia answered the question for now.
“I helped with alchemy and participated in archery competitions…”
“I was asked about a good place to hide treasure.”
‘Everyone is really enjoying the festival except me.’
Lee Han was sad, but quickly composed himself.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have fun with friends?
“You were asked about a good place to hide treasure? “Which denomination did you do it in?”
Yoner asked curiously.
“The principal did it.”
“…what?”
“The principal asked about good places to hide treasure…”
“Did you say anything else?”
“You said you were going on a treasure hunt.”
“……”
Lee Han’s expression became serious.
With the personality of the skeletal principal, there is no way he would enjoy an ordinary treasure hunt…
‘How many traps are you planning to lay?’
* * *
next day.
Before the festival started again, Lee Han visited Professor Lightning Step early in the morning.
“professor. “The horse I’m riding looks like a griffon.”
Professor Lightning Walk nodded with a heavy expression.
“You figured it out sooner than I thought.”
“…Why on earth would you do something like that?”
“Rather than meeting a real Griffon later and learning how to deal with it, wouldn’t it be better to meet a Griffon that has turned into a horse now and learn how to deal with it?”
“oh…”
Lee Han, who was trying to understand for a moment, came to his senses.
Now that I think about it, I don’t really need to learn how to deal with gryphons.
‘You’re talking bullshit with a solemn expression.’
Lee Han was not fooled by such things.
“Is that really so?”
“I don’t think you look very convinced?”
“no. I was convinced. By the way, Professor. I have a question.”
“Tell me.”
“If I take off on a gryphon around the main building, won’t the magic get in the way?”
As Lee Han is quick-witted, he guessed it to some extent.
Why would there be a stable for flying animals in the high spire of the magic school’s main building?
Even in the sky of the magic school, there was a set path.
If you try to escape by flying up a different path, all kinds of magic will come flying at you.
“I guess so.”
Professor Lee Han could clearly see what was in his heart.
As soon as they found out it was a griffon, they tried to escape by riding it.
I was a bastard. I was a bastard.
“I think it would be difficult to avoid that now at my level.”
“yes.”
Professor Lightning Walk nodded.
There were more than dozens of spells, so it was impossible for Lee Han to destroy them all.
Before that, an alarm will sound and other professors will fly in.
“Maybe we should find a place with a path to the outside, like Spire Stables.”
“…!”
Professor Lightning Walk felt goosebumps for the first time in a long time.
‘How on earth?!’
As it was one of the places where guests from outside came in, the Spire Stables were connected to a skyway that was unobstructed by magic.
But no matter what, a freshman already figured it out.
“right. That’s amazing. “I can’t believe I found it already…”
“In that case, Professor, please tell me somewhere else.”
Lee Han boldly demanded.
Professor Lightning Walk was perplexed.
“what?”
“I already know the Spire Stables, so please tell me another path that doesn’t have any magic in the way.”
“……”
The lightning-walking professor was at a loss for words.
Is there such a person?
But being shameless was also one of the wizard’s talents.
And what the boy in front of me did was definitely worthy of praise.
‘Well, now that I’ve found out the identity of the Gryphon…’
It was Professor Lightning’s own doing, but honestly, I was still amazed at how he realized it.
Before the professor could open his mouth, Lee Han spoke again.
“If the professor doesn’t tell us, I will tell the guests outside what happened about the Gryphon.”
“…Take out the paper. “I’ll tell you just one place.”
The lightning-walking professor had no choice but to admit that his student was actually more formidable than he thought.
