Episode 163
It was a pity.
Lee Han said that he wanted White Tiger Tower students to have the right to take the exam legitimately, but…
The sober White Tiger Tower students could not understand his sincerity.
They just look at me like I’m crazy!
* * *
The thunderous professor walked along, humming happily.
In fact, exams were not just difficult for students.
Professors also have to create problems and assign grades.
It would be better if, like the skeleton principal, they could find joy in such aspects, but for professors who didn’t, exams were just painful tasks.
The same thing happened to Professor Thunderstruck.
‘Hehe. It’s finally over.’
The thunderous professor opened the bottle of mead he had been saving. He felt good that he had solved all the problems.
I could see freshmen getting drunk and rolling around on the lawn.
‘It’s a good time. ‘When it’s good.’
A specialty that every new student at a magic school experiences.
The principal’s midterm celebration banquet!
If you wake up now and face the exam with a throbbing head, your bad habit of enjoying yourself before the exam will definitely be broken.
‘Rather, I tend to learn cheaply. cancer.’
The thunderous professor thought so and nodded.
At that time, a familiar disciple ran out across the lawn.
“Wardanaz?”
“oh. professor.”
“Have you heard the news yet? You can’t not have a drink on a nice day like today! “This is my favorite drink, but I’ll give you one especially.”
Professor Thunder Walk handed a bottle of mead to Lee Han to help the skeleton principal.
Of course, Lee Han glared at the thunder-stepping professor with an expression filled with contempt.
“…Surely you noticed?”
“yes.”
“okay?”
The embarrassed professor retrieved the bottle of mead.
‘guy. ‘You have great insight.’
I can’t believe a freshman starving for food and drink wouldn’t fall into that trap.
It wasn’t usually a big deal.
“We have to go to the fourth floor of the main building now. “Isn’t the principal really doing too much?”
“You are a bit too much.”
Professor Thunderstruck agreed.
I don’t know anything else, but I fully agreed with the criticism of the skeleton principal.
“You have to complete it and submit it by Friday. “What kind of absurdity…”
“Uh… I also have to complete and submit my exam by Friday?”
“!”
Lee Han looked at the thunderous professor with a look of betrayal in his eyes. The dwarf professor made an excuse without realizing it.
“There’s nothing wrong with giving a generous period of time! Besides, there are many things in alchemy that are difficult to make in one or two hours!”
Like the skeleton principal, I didn’t intentionally set a limit until Friday to make people suffer with false hopes.
Alchemy requires some time, so make plenty of potions over the next week and submit them!
That was Professor Thunder’s deep meaning.
“indeed…”
Lee Han understood to some extent.
“And I need time to gather ingredients.”
“……”
Lee Han canceled what he had just agreed to.
‘They are all of the same tribe.’
“All right.”
“Your eyes seemed to despise me just now. I guess it’s just how you feel, right?”
“Why would I give you that look?”
“okay. Trust me. Don’t drink and don’t do anything dangerous. “Don’t try to rob the professor’s workshop.”
“?”
Lee Han paused at the last word.
‘Did the seniors rob the professor’s workshop?’
While we were talking, several students appeared from the other side.
Of course I thought he was drunk, but surprisingly he was fine.
They were Black Turtle Tower students.
Lee Han said in a surprised voice.
“Salko? How come you don’t drink? “You don’t…”
“de?”
“It seems rare that you don’t like alcohol.”
Lee Han was about to say dwarf, but quickly stopped. Although Salko looked like a dwarf, he was clearly an elf.
“Heh. Wardanaz. What are you looking at us for? Did you think I would get drunk as easily as the other guys? “We kept all the alcohol we received.”
“Hey… it’s embarrassing, so be quiet.”

A friend stopped one of Salco’s gang from talking triumphantly.
If you think about it calmly, there’s no reason for the skeleton principal to bring the alcohol he drank at the banquet and store it separately…
It was a bit awkward.
But Lee Han was impressed.
“indeed. I didn’t think of that. excellent. “You received it and saved it.”
“……”
“……”
“Why is everyone like that?”
“Oh, no. “It’s no big deal.”
When the Black Turtle Tower students heard Lee Han’s praise, their lost shame suddenly returned.
‘Aren’t we in such a tight spot?’
‘Was the storage a bit harsh?’
Salko said without paying attention to the reactions of his friends behind him.
“The principal said the exam would be held on the 4th floor of the main building. Am I right?”
“Yes.”
“I’m about to go now, would you like to join me? Wodanaz?”
“!?”
The other Black Turtle Tower students were more surprised than Lee Han.
“Are you okay? Tutanta?”
“There’s nothing that can’t be done. “You all know Wodanaz’s abilities.”
“I know.”
Several Black Turtle Tower students nodded.
It was thanks to Wardanaz that he was able to save his life during yesterday’s outing.
But apart from that…
“Wardanaz is a bit scary.”
“If there comes a section that requires sacrifice, they might sacrifice us…”
‘I can hear everything.’
“But still, we have no choice but to acknowledge Wodanaz’s abilities…”
“okay. “Right now, exams come first.”
After finishing the conversation, the friends opened their mouths.
“Let’s go together, Wardanaz!”
‘When we come to the sacrificial section, these guys must be sacrificed.’
“What are we all doing together?”
Nilia looked puzzled and walked from the direction of the forest. She was holding a bow in one hand and several rabbits in the other.
Lee Han was surprised to see that he looked fine and did not look drunk at all.
“Didn’t you drink?”
“alcohol? “Where do you get the alcohol?”
“…for a moment. “Since when have you been in the forest?”
“Since yesterday morning?”
Nilia tilted her head, not understanding why Lee Han was asking.
I had been preparing to hunt in the forest since early morning yesterday to get some meat and leather.
It was a pretty satisfying hunt.
No matter how good the hunter’s skills are, hunting is all in vain if the prey does not appear, so a certain amount of luck is required…
Four rabbits were enough to satisfy me.
“look. Caught a rabbit? “Would you like one?”
In response to Nilia’s kindness, Lee Han looked at the Black Turtle Tower students as if they were trash.
‘Are they going to go to the banquet on their own, leaving their top friends alone?’
The Black Turtle Tower students made excuses without realizing it.
“We didn’t hide it on purpose…!”
“When I woke up, I already went hunting!”
“What are you talking about?”
Nilia still didn’t understand the situation.
Lee Han briefly summarized the situation.
“Those kids didn’t tell you about the banquet, just kept it to themselves…”
“I said no!”
“I saved the drinks and cake, so I’ll be sure to give it to you later when I’m done! believe!”
Black Turtle Tower students pounded their hearts in frustration.
Why would they ostracize Nilia!
“ah. “It was something like that.”
After some confusion, Nilia nodded.
“Isn’t that possible?”
“?!”
Lee Han was embarrassed.
‘I was so shocked when my friends and I went separately…’
“I’m glad you didn’t drink it. “I need to drink it after the exam.”
“of course. Neilia. “We are always grateful for your hard work!”
The Black Turtle Tower students spoke several times more exaggeratedly than usual.
I was always grateful, but for some reason, saying it in this situation made it strangely sound like a lie.
“Nilia. “If you feel like they’re using you, tell me.”
“I said no…!”
* * *
“Have you ever been to the fourth floor of the main building?”
“yet. “The third floor of the main building is very difficult.”
Salko nodded at Lee Han’s words.
The courageous new students were constantly trying to become familiar with the geography of the main building.
Of course, apart from such efforts, the buildings of the magic school harshly tested the students.
“It’s okay up to the 2nd floor, but from the 3rd floor…”
“The third floor is definitely like that.”
No matter which staircase I took to the second floor, it was okay.
However, from the 3rd floor onwards, all kinds of weirdos appeared.
Didn’t we come across a statue of a soon-to-be-forgotten beast and a forest of polymorphs on the third floor?
“Luckily, I know a path on the third floor that I can pass through. “I think it would be easiest to go up to the fourth floor that way.”
“Which way is it?”
Salko was slightly surprised.
Salko and his friends have not yet penetrated the third floor. This was because, wherever we went, there were difficult obstacles blocking our path.
But Wardanaz opened a path to the third floor. It was truly a great thing.
“You gave me a map to Spire Stables last time. “That’s the way.”
“hmm? That’s strange. “Isn’t there a forest of polymorphs there?”
Salchow wondered.
As they were sharing information with Lee Han, Salko and his friends also tried to pass through Polymorph’s Forest several times.
But every time it happened, it transformed into animals and I couldn’t get past it.
Does Wardanaz know the time frame when Polymorph Forest disappears?
“ah. “I found a way to break through.”
“Oh… that’s amazing.”
Salchow was honestly impressed.
I jumped into Polymorph’s forest several times, but I couldn’t find a way, but Wardanaz found it.
Certainly, Wardanaz’s magical abilities had to be acknowledged.
He is one of the most talented geniuses in Einroguard!
‘But that makes it even scarier.’
A genius with excellent magical abilities would not have been so wary.
In Salko’s opinion, Wardanaz was a man who could easily become the leader of a thieves’ guild or a criminal guild.
“But may I ask how you get through it?”
one of the Black Turtle Tower students asked.
“By persuasion.”
“By persuasion?! “It was a persuasive place.”
* * *
“I am the principal!”
Squeak!
The mouse guarding Polymorph’s forest hurriedly opened the way.
The illusory fog disappeared and a straight path appeared in the middle of the forest.
“……”
“……”
“The road is open. let’s go.”
Lee Han walked ahead with great strides, taking Ratford and Neilia with him.
The students at Black Turtle Tower opened their mouths and looked at Lee Han’s back with shocked expressions.
I…
What is that guy really???
“Wardanaz, you just said you were the principal?”
“ah. “It’s just a trick.”
“……”
How on earth is that possible…?
“No… Wardanaz. “Can you explain in more detail?”
One of the Black Turtle Tower students couldn’t hold back and opened his mouth.
Then Nilia scolded.
“Does it matter now? “If you think about it, it just comes out.”
Ratford followed suit.
“It’s easy if you think about it.”
“……”
Salko, who was about to ask because he was curious, kept his mouth shut. But she was still curious.
‘How on earth did you do this?’
What should I do to make Polymorph Forest make Wodanaz the headmaster…
-Stop. Student. I am a stone statue in the labyrinth.
“!”
Lee Han stopped at the sound of a telepathic voice.
Although it was a blank hallway, Lee Han could feel the magic in front of him.
-The moment you enter, you will challenge the labyrinth.
I wondered why there was a labyrinth on the third floor of the school, but Lee Han didn’t bother to question it.
-Right.
-But there is a way to get through the labyrinth. Offer one of your friends as a sacrifice. Send your friend to the underground punishment room, and I will send you to the other side of the labyrinth.
Lee Han inadvertently looked at the Black Turtle Tower students.
The Black Turtle Tower students, who knew nothing, looked at Lee Han with innocent eyes.
Why are you like that?
