Episode 168
With a darkened expression, Salko slowly opened his mouth.
“The magic I was trying to teach you is <Decomposition of Rocks of the Tutanta Family>.”
“no. “If there was such magic, you shouldn’t have told me sooner.”
“……”
“Why are you doing that?”
“It is nothing.”
For a moment, Lee Han felt like he heard the sound of teeth grinding together.
In any case, <Tutanta Family Rock Disintegration> was renowned for its efficiency and excellent effects among the same disintegration type magic.
Even magic that produces the same result can vary greatly depending on its structure, process, spell, etc.
As such, it was very important to choose which magic to use, even if it was a magic that produced the same result.
You need to make a decision by considering things like how your aptitude fits, what situations you usually use it for, etc.
There was no need to worry about this in relatively simple lower circle magic, but it became essential as you moved up.
-In this situation, you have to use <Summon Water Hydra of the Wardanaz Family>!
-What a fool! Your magic skills bring me to tears! There is no need to use such expensive magic! Just an ordinary <Summon a Giant Water Snake> is enough!
-That level of magic can never solve this burning lava crisis!
“Right. I have heard of the reputation of the Tutanta family. I can’t believe they teach me the magic of such a family. Is that okay?”
“……okay.”
Salko answered after a fairly long silence. Lee Han wondered if the other person was so worried about teaching him the family’s magic.
‘Well, I guess teaching the family’s magic isn’t something I really want to do.’
Although I decided to teach, I can’t help but worry.
Lee Han nodded as if he understood Salko. Of course, it was never communicated to Salchow.
“ruler. The order is as follows.”
Salchow told me about the spell and movement of <Dismantling the Rock of the Tutanta Family>, as well as the materials needed (a handful of pieces of the rock to be destroyed) and the detailed process.
The elves of the Tutanta family memorized it in much more detail and detail than most grimoires. Thanks to this, Lee Han was able to easily understand what kind of magic this was.
…Of course, that never meant that learning magic was easy.
‘what?’
Lee Han felt his head hurting.
Aside from magic, it was more like a headache that came from the exhaustion of concentration when using complex magic multiple times.
Now, the difficulty level of this <Tutanta Family Rock Decomposition> spell was that high.
I tried several more times, but the headaches were unbearable. Lee Han paused for a moment.
“Tutanta. “How long did it take you to learn this magic?”
“I haven’t mastered this magic yet.”
“…?”
Lee Han was puzzled for a moment.
This bastard?
‘no. ‘No way.’
“Right. Still, this magic isn’t that difficult, right? How many circles is it?”
Lee Han expected around 2 circles, or even 3 circles if he gave up too much.
“……”
However, after hearing Lee Han’s question, Salko suddenly hesitated.
Then he answered.
“4… It’s a circle, though.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at Salco with a straight face.
Since this bastard can’t win from the front, how about assassinating him in another way?
* * *
Salko did not really intend to assassinate Lee Han.
He took the Black Turtle Tower students and helped them break through the labyrinth, but it wasn’t even human to do such a thing.
But really…
‘Why did I do that?’
…It just didn’t occur to me that imparting the 4th circle magic to Wardanaz might be dangerous.
Salchow himself didn’t understand.
why?
Before you worry about whether or not you can teach your family’s magic, it’s normal to worry about whether it’s okay to teach this type of magic to a first year student…
“okay. Salko.”
As the atmosphere became awkward, Lee Han spoke to calm things down.
“Perhaps this <Tutanta Family Rock Disintegration> magic is quite easy among the 4th circle magic, right? That’s why you taught me.”
Not all magic from the same circle had the same level of difficulty.
If this spell was one of the easiest 4-circle spells, it made sense that they wanted to teach it.
“no. Wardanaz. <Decomposition of Rocks of the Tutanta Family> is one of the most difficult spells among the 4th circle spells. “Some of the things I’ve heard are that it’s more difficult than 5-circle magic…”
“I. Tutanta. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to say that now.”
Nilia advised cautiously. Tutanta realized it too late and shut her up.
Of course, the atmosphere had already become more awkward.
“……”
“……”
As Ihan and Tutanta fell into silence, only Nilia, who was between them, felt like she was dying.
“…These are the stairs to the fourth floor! Look over there!”

“It’s the fourth floor stairs.”
“It’s a 4th floor staircase.”
“The stairs to the 4th floor remind me of the 4-circle magic… Oops. no.”
“…sorry. Wodanaz.”
Salchow apologized.
I never imagined that I would have to apologize for teaching the Tutanta family magic.
“no. Tutanta. Things like that happen, too.”
‘I think we’ve opened up some distance?’
Nilia felt that the distance between Lee Han and Tutanta had grown a little.
Shhh!
“!”
As soon as I came up to the 4th floor hallway, a ghost monster making a sharp cry came running down the hallway.
The students were all startled and tried to escape by taking the stairs.
“Get down…”
Pop!
But there was no need for that.
A blazing white ray flashed and hit the ghost monster, and then disappeared in an instant.
Lee Han could hear a faint voice coming from afar.
-Avoid quickly! Freshmen!
-This bastard escaped…! Why did they come up to the fourth floor?!
-It’s midterm exam period!
‘I think I need to hide better.’
Seniors from the magic school came to the 4th floor to catch the escaped ghost monster.
It happened so quickly that the other students didn’t seem to notice.
“Sa… disappeared?”
“It’s okay, right?”
The 4th floor hallway where the ghost disappeared was quiet and peaceful.
In fact, this was originally a normal school hallway.
‘It was called the Beetle Classroom.’
Lee Han walked slowly and checked the classrooms placed next to the hallway.
Griffin Classroom, Makin Family Classroom (apparently they had generously sponsored the classroom the year it was built), Beer Candy Classroom, Burning Red Flag Team Classroom…
And the Beetle classroom.
“!!!”
The students’ eyes opened wide.
Although they had to struggle to get to the fourth floor, none of the students expected to find the classroom right away.
“This… this easy?”
“Honestly… it wasn’t easy.”
The students were alert and opened the classroom door.
Then, the undead summons waiting inside the classroom welcomed the students.
-Welcome! Everyone please take your seats.
“…who are you?”
-I am a summons that serves the principal. Everyone please take your seats.
Lee Han and his friends hesitated and dispersed to their seats. Then paper and a quill appeared in front of the students.
-Now solve the problem. When you’re done, you can submit it and leave.
‘It’s surprisingly fine, which surprises people.’
Until now, only abnormal results had come out, but when a normal test came out, it was surprising.
Lee Han grabbed the test paper.
I was preoccupied with getting to the 4th floor, but in fact, what was important in the test was not the ability to get to the test site, but the ability to solve problems.
First question. Please write the principal’s real name accurately.
Second question. Please write in what year the principal developed the magic <Glory of the Dead Sun>.
Third question. What year was it when the principal expanded the Dark Hall of the magic school?
“……”
* * *
Nilia put a quill in her mouth with a pained expression.
‘Do I have to memorize everything the principal did? What does that have to do with character education?’
I felt this dissatisfaction inside, but what could I do? Since I’m a student, I have to solve it.
“Can’t we just investigate this and come back?”
-If you visit again, the problems will be different.
“……”
The Black Turtle Tower students closed their mouths and looked at the test paper again.
Nilia inadvertently turned her gaze towards Lee Han. I was curious about what Wardanaz was doing.
Shashashashashak!
“…?!”
Nilia was astonished.
Lee Han was playing with his quill without stopping.
‘Did you get a different test paper than me?!’
But that couldn’t have been the case.
Surprisingly, Wardanaz was able to write the correct answers without being swayed by this test paper.
It was amazing to see the quill moving without stopping even once.
‘Wardanaz… am I the only one who didn’t study?’
Nilia suddenly felt a sense of crisis and looked around.
Other Black Turtle Tower students were also looking at Wardanaz with faces similar to Nilia’s.
‘How on earth?!’
‘You studied this far? It’s not like time is wasting away…’
‘How much did you study?’
When all the other students stopped moving and only looked at Lee Han, the undead summoned animal opened its mouth.
– Dear students. Cheating…
“Oh, no.”
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
The students quickly averted their gaze.
Nilia stared at the test paper again. The problem was just as daunting as before, but she felt a little more at ease.
‘Because I’m not the only one who doesn’t know!’
* * *
Lee Han answered and stood up.
About half of the students who came with us had already disappeared.
‘It’s later than I thought. Actually, the problem was easy.’
Of course, the students who left first were those who gave up on solving the problem and decided to study again.
No one has solved all the problems like Lee Han.
But Lee Han couldn’t even know that.
When I went down from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor, and from the 3rd floor to the 2nd floor, opened the main building door on the 1st floor, and went outside, the surroundings were already pitch black.
The eerie sound of a bell could be heard from afar.
I’ve heard the bell ringing to tell the time every hour a few times, but today’s bell sounded a little…?
Students. Welcome to testing season! I hope you all have a painful week! And you drunks better wake up quickly!
“……”
Lee Han sighed as the skeleton principal’s voice echoed throughout the school.
I finished one exam, but it still seemed like it was going to be a hell of a week.
* * *
“Full score.”
“……”
Lee Han was taken aback by how happy he was to see Professor Boladi’s face.
Has Stockholm Syndrome really occurred?
‘shit. ‘I feel like Professor Boladi is better because the other professors keep doing crazy things.’
As expected, Professor Boladi did not give complicated tests or assignments.
He had me cast a few water elemental spells and then gave me a perfect score.
…Actually, if you look at it objectively, Lee Han perfected his magic by working hard before the midterm exam period…
Unfortunately, Lee Han could not understand it calmly.
“Eumidihus praised me a lot.”
“yes. “I think you’ve been undeservedly kind to me.”
Lee Han was not surprised.
Considering the relationship between Eumidhus and Professor Boladi, it was strange that they could not exchange information with each other.
“I won against Ogonin.”
“…Did you even say that?”
Eumidihus was definitely not there?
“Professor Kirmin Khoo told me.”
“aha.”
Lee Han cursed Professor Kirmin inwardly.
You helped a friend so much that you repaid the favor in this way.
I had a good relationship with Professor Boladi, so I looked at him favorably, but I was disappointed.
“Illusion magic is a tricky enemy in magic battles. “Good thing I don’t have to waste time learning how to respond.”
“thank you?”
Professor Boladi said something unclear, whether it was a compliment or an insult to illusion magic.
“let’s go.”
“yes? Where do you mean?”
In response to Lee Han’s question, Professor Boladi looked at Lee Han as if he had asked the stupidest question in the world.
“Dungeon.”
“……”
