Episode 183
Although it was absurd, Lee Han decided to solve the problem he was facing first.
If things had been left like this, all three groups of students could have gone to the punishment room in peace.
Sure enough, the White Tiger Tower students and the Black Turtle Tower students had already discovered each other and were growling.
-What are you guys! We came first!
-Is there a difference between being first and being late in something like this?
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
‘Those unprofessional guys.’
If you come here to steal, you should lower your voice like a professional and act calmly. Do you get into an emotional fight?
“Everyone calm down.”
Lee Han stepped forward to stop him.
“Ugh!”
“You… are a thief!”
The White Tiger Tower students and Black Turtle Tower students who saw Lee Han reacted violently.
‘Do you think they are not thieves?’
Lee Han was dumbfounded, but there was a reason why the other top students were surprised.
Lee Han and his friends’ attire was truly thieves-like.
The students of the White Tiger Tower and the Black Turtle Tower wore masks that were roughly cut from pieces of cloth and wrapped around their faces, so it was easy to tell who was who if you looked closely.
In contrast, Lee Han and his friends were wearing masks and coats that thoroughly covered their faces using knowledge they had learned from several experiences, advice from Ratford, and fabrics they had purchased from outside.
…It wouldn’t be strange to say that he was really a thief from outside.
“Calm down. “Because we came for the same purpose as you.”
“Woah… are you Wodanaz?”
‘no. How did know?’
Lee Han changed his voice and was surprised when the other person understood him.
“The only person who would steal this thoroughly is Wardanaz…”
“I think there is a misunderstanding. I am not Wodanaz.”
I played it off, but the other top students didn’t seem to believe it. He already looked half convinced. Lee Han felt aggrieved for no reason.
“Listen. The goal of all students gathered here now is to enter this Gaksu-gwan. “If we fight, we will only attract the attention of those around us.”
Other top students also nodded at Lee Han’s words.
Obviously, we couldn’t enter each water hall, so there was no benefit in fighting with each other.
“So let’s cooperate with each other.”
“…i get it.”
“good night.”
Everyone agreed, but not all problems were resolved.
The journey of the three groups had just begun.
“Who will take the lead?”
“…We will stand behind.”
“Don’t talk nonsense! “Where are you going to stand alone?”
The White Tiger Tower students and the Black Turtle Tower students clashed immediately.
Since it was a matter of entering the professor’s workshop, it was advantageous to go in from the back.
“Be quite. “I will decide.”
Lee Han said this, but the other top students did not accept it easily.
“What are you, Wardanaz?”
“Why should we take your orders? “I said I would cooperate, but I would become your subordinate…”
Lee Han raised his cane and aimed.
A cold silence filled the students.
“I will decide.”
“…yeah…yeah.”
“Be aware. Wardanaz. “I agreed not because of your threats, but because there was no benefit to fighting here.”
When the fight stopped, Lee Han spoke.
“We will be at the front.”
“!?”
Naturally, the other top students couldn’t help but be surprised.
why?
“Are you okay… are you okay?”
“okay. “Because we are the only ones who know the way.”
“……”
The other top students looked at me in astonishment.
When did these kids…?!
“You decide the middle and the back.”
As soon as Lee Han spoke, the White Tiger Tower students and the Black Turtle Tower students began fighting again.
Lee Han looked at him with a straight face and aimed his cane.
“…Let’s decide with rock, paper, scissors.”
“Rock, paper, scissors, it’s good. It’s good.”

The destination for Lee Han and his friends was the greenhouse on the second floor of Gaksu-gwan.
There was a flower field with thistles growing there.
‘The advantage is that it can be solved without having to go to the 3rd floor.’

The third floor of Gaksu-gwan is like a maze for those without qualifications.
Lee Han came today because he was confident that he could finish it quietly on the second floor.
“Eye, pierce the darkness.”
The corridor on the first floor of Gaksu-gwan, which was immersed in darkness, turned green and revealed its hidden appearance to Lee Han.
“……”
The White Tiger Tower student did not ask Lee Han, who was memorizing the dark vision spell, ‘When, where, and how did you learn that magic?’
Wardanaz could have done that.
Even before entering school, he knows all kinds of evil secrets…!
“for a moment. “But where is the potion you are looking for?”
Lee Han stopped and asked.
When I thought about it, I also had to calculate the movements of the students at the White Tiger Tower and the Black Turtle Tower.
“I heard it’s on the first floor… somewhere.”
“It’s probably somewhere on the first floor…”
“……”
Lee Han and Ratford looked at each other pitifully.
I can’t believe you came with such poor preparations.
“okay. “If there wasn’t enough information, there was nothing we could do.”
‘It seemed like you just looked at us in a very pathetic way.’
“Then search the first floor. “We’re going up to the second floor.”
“okay. I’ll do that.”
Lee Han and his friends nodded and distanced themselves from the students who came inside.
As we climbed up the stairs, the group was greeted by a spacious botanical garden with a familiar shape.
The botanical garden at night was much quieter and more peaceful, perhaps because there wasn’t a crazy bull running around like last time.
“I’m rather anxious because nothing is happening…”
“Uh huh. “Don’t say anything sinister.”
Lee Han warned Nilia.
It was normal for it to end quietly and peacefully like this.
“There’s a flower field over there.”
The students gathered around and began to carefully dig up the thistle flowers.
Lee Han looked around and prepared for any possible situation.
‘There is no Professor Thunderstruck, and there is no Professor Willow. I don’t think anything will happen.’
“Are you done? “Let’s get out!”
Lee Han and his friends clenched their fists and quietly swallowed their joy.
Compared to how nervous I was, I finished the work close to perfection.
Ratford nodded as if he knew everything.
The pleasure of perfect theft can only be known to those who have tried it.
Ratford’s heart was filled with pride as he watched his friends starting out as novice thieves and gradually growing up.
bang!
“……”
But that joy disappeared as soon as I came down to the first floor.
There was an ear-piercing roar and all kinds of commotion was happening on both sides of the hallway.
‘Are you crazy?’
“These… such amateurs!”
Ratford also stuttered, probably embarrassed. Lee Han quickly moved to check the situation.
“What are you doing now? Everyone, come to your senses!”
Despite Lee Han’s shouts, the students did not listen.
He was acting like he was extremely drunk and threw chairs in the classroom.
Wow!
“Didn’t I drink something wrong??”
“I wouldn’t be that stupid!”
Even if the other top students were amateur thieves, they would not have drunk anything carelessly.
Lee Han felt a sweet scent emanating from inside the open classroom door.
It was not an ordinary scent. It was a scent that felt magical.
At that moment, lightning struck Lee Han’s mind.
“Everyone stop breathing!”
“!”
When I thought about it, it was strange that there were things like a potion that would make you better at dancing or a potion that would make you better at music that were easy to take.
And that too on the first floor of Gaksu-gwan!
‘Professor Thunderstruck may have joined hands with another professor to set a trap!’
It sounded crazy, but Lee Han’s intuition signaled that the possibility was high.
This magic school was a place where everything was possible.
After hearing the explanation, Yoner whispered as if he did not understand.
“But… thistle flowers didn’t have traps, right?”
“…Professor Thunderwalk may have forgotten…”
Lee Han spoke in a voice without confidence.
In fact, that was what Lee Han was most curious about.
Why did they set traps for potions needed for other lectures, but not traps for potions needed for their own lectures?
Did they really ask you to take it?
The correct answer is that with so little time, who would want to solve the problem by stealing? But Lee Han didn’t know that.
“okay. Wardanaz. Anyway, let’s get out.”
Nilia spoke urgently.
Whether it was a trap or a mistake made by other top students, one thing was certain.
There’s nothing good about staying here for too long.
If you make a fuss like that, I wonder when and what will happen…
“no. “We have to take him out.”
“Why, Wardanaz?”
Asan asked in surprise.
Then he slapped his palm as if he understood.
“I asked a useless question. honor…”
“If you leave it behind, they’ll call our names.”
“…But you still have some honor, right?”
Lee Han pretended not to hear what Asan said and ignored it.
“I need to keep it quiet for now.”
“What are you going to do?”
Yoner was puzzled.
The students must have smelled a frenzy or riot. Because I was jumping around like I was drunk.
In a situation like that, nothing you say will be heard…
puck! Puff puff! Puk puk puk puk!
“done.”
“……”
“But… how do you plan on taking them out?”
Ratford asked with a worried expression.
Originally, professional thieves had a rule of ruthlessly abandoning even their colleagues if they fell into a trap.
Lee Han could also get hurt if he went in to pick him up in this situation.
“I have to do my best. for a moment.”
Lee Han tied himself with rope. Then I prepared to hold my breath as much as possible.
“If I feel like things are going to get worse and I’m going to pass out myself, get the rope and pull it.”
“Lee Han. Here is the curse removal potion. “I don’t know how effective it will be, but…”
Yoner took out a potion from his pocket and held it out. Lee Han nodded his head gratefully and drank.
“good. “Go in.”
Lee Han held his breath and opened the classroom door.
And went inside.
“…!”
The moment I saw it, I knew what had happened.
Smoke mixed with magical power continued to flow from the magic circle installed in the middle of the classroom.
‘As expected, it was a trap.’
Lee Han walked slowly. And he used force to damage the magic circle. Fortunately, the magic circle was easily destroyed.
‘The smoke has stopped!’
Now all I have to do is ventilate it and take it out…
At that moment, a magical reaction occurred on the wall. A new hidden magic circle was revealed.
Lee Han cursed at the thunderous professor.
‘This is crazy…!’
sudden!
Blue smoke surrounded Lee Han. It was a terrible smoke that penetrated my entire body even if I held my breath.
Lee Han grabbed the cane. If I thought something was wrong, I was going to pass out right away.
“…?”
But there was no change.
Lee Han looked around. And just in case, I drank some of the original smoke that was still left.
Again, there was no change.
Does it feel like something is going to change a little bit and then it ends right away?
“……”
Lee Han pulled out the students one by one with a shocked expression.
That’s fortunate, but…
…Why is it so vain?
“The detox potion worked!”
Asan, who was watching from behind, his eyes lit up.
“I have to go help. Makin! please!”
“Wait, I’m not sure yet…”
Asan took a sip of the potion and ran into the classroom where Lee Han was.
And then my eyes started rolling around.
“…sorry. Asan.”
Lee Han knocked Asan unconscious.
* * *
dump!
Lee Han and his friends managed to throw the last student into the grass.
Although we were both covered in sweat, we somehow felt proud.
“…Everyone worked hard.”
“okay. really…”
‘Would it sound too bad if I asked my friends to get paid by going through their arms?’
“I wasted my time because of these kids, but can’t I just go through the trouble and get some compensation?”
Ratford cast a look of respect at Lee Han’s words.
