Episode 189
“How do you know that… huh? Is it really a spirit? how did you know?”
“If it sees me and runs away, it’s usually a spirit.”
“……”
“……”
There was an awkward silence for a moment.
Nilia said hesitantly.
“…You don’t necessarily have to have a spirit to be a good wizard! And Wardanaz, you have many other friends!”
‘You don’t have much talent for comforting people.’
Lee Han thought so, but nodded.
My friend was giving me sincere consolation, so I couldn’t complain.
“Wardanaz. Would you like to come over here and take a look?”
“why?”
“There’s something over there. Let’s check whether it’s a spirit or not.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at Nilia with sad eyes.
Either way, Nilia didn’t notice and gestured.
“hurry! “You have to check it out!”
‘This is why hunters.’
Lee Han grumbled inwardly and took a step forward.
* * *
Basically, heavy snow was not good weather for hunting.
However, experienced hunters were able to track their prey even in these situations.
“That’s amazing.”
Lee Han was surprised to see Nilia catching one more rabbit.
“When it suddenly snows, even animals get startled and panic.”
“Indeed… I think you ran in a unique way when you just ran across the snow. Can you show it to me again?”
Nilia was quite proud of being a member of the Shadow Patrol.
As such, when talking to his friends, he wanted to talk about shadow patrols and hunters.
-This bread is really tasteless.
-oh. But I think it’s better than the bread I ate when I was shipwrecked alone in the mountains. The bread I ate back then was the worst. It was bread left behind by a hunter who came to the cave, but it had mold and bugs…
-Wooow. Nilia…!
…Of course, this attempt was not very successful.
To that extent, the respect and interest shown by Wardanaz made Nilia happy, but…
“Wardanaz.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“I really like talking about the Shadow Patrol… and I will definitely answer any questions you ask… so let’s talk later!”
Whoosh!
Nilia accurately knocked down the fleeing deer.
This was exactly the 17th question Wodanaz had asked.
‘What should I do when choosing or shooting a bow?’ ‘How to track game when it’s snowing?’ ‘How to hide your presence…’ etc.
At first, Nilia was excited and explained.
If your friend is curious, why don’t you explain?
Lee Han also diligently took notes and learned everything one by one.
But Nilia forgot one thing.
The friend next to me is a madman who wants to take all the classes at the magic school!
‘No matter what, there is a degree!’
When the 17th question came, Nilia’s mouth became dry and her throat hurt.
“Can’t you just answer this?”
“no!”
Nilia was usually unable to refuse a friend’s request, but as she was with Lee Han, her ability to refuse was improving.
Sigh!
“I think this is enough.”
“right?”
After dismembering the last of her prey, Nilia washed her hands in the snow that had accumulated.
Lee Han melted the surrounding snow with fire, boiled it, and put it in a bucket of water.
‘It would be a good idea to get used to flames at least a little.’
Nilia looked at this and asked for water with an embarrassed expression.
Magic is convenient!
New students coming all the way here in this weather? Dangerous. Go back.
“!”
Lee Han and Nilia turned their heads in surprise.
Surprisingly, there was nothing to be seen around.
But the voices continued to be heard. It was a soft and kind voice.
It doesn’t matter where I am. Dangerous. Go back.
‘I don’t know who he is, but he is a person with a personality that ranks in the top 5% of Einroguard.’
The entity that told the student to go back because it was dangerous was basically likely to be friendly.
“I don’t know who it is, but we need something to eat.”

I don’t know why Einroguard is starving young students… but it’s still dangerous. Go back. This weather is artificially created, so it won’t subside easily.
Lee Han became a little more proactive in response to the other person’s kind attitude.
An opponent like that was rare at a magic school. I had to get help when I could.
“Can’t you show yourself? “I would like to see you and talk to you.”
Seeing me won’t do you any good.
The voice warned without losing any courtesy.
“Why?”
My scent is too strong for freshmen and will make them drunk.
‘What race is it?’
From the opponent’s warning, Lee Han guessed that the opponent’s race was quite unique.
What if you were a race that could make people around you drunk with just its scent…?
“But I’ll be fine.”
“Wardanaz. “Isn’t that too reckless?”
Nilia whispered.
I was worried for no reason because of the other person’s serious warning.
From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like he’s a weak opponent…
“are you okay. “Nilia.”
“really?”
“okay. “But you seem a bit dangerous, so I think it would be better to stay away.”
“……”
Nilia looked at Lee Han with very worried eyes.
Is this really okay?
* * *
The Gandharvas, who had the wings and legs of a bird, could easily be confused with the bird race of beastmen, but they were a completely different race.
The difference is that a Gandharva’s body emits an intoxicating scent.
The Gandharvas were a race closer to spirit blood than the beast people.
The Gandharva who spoke to Lee Han was a guardian-like being who had been stationed in the underground rock cave nearby for a long time and had been managing it to prevent accidents.
That’s why I couldn’t help but get tired of wizards who approached me like this.
‘This is what wizards are!’
Gandharva shook off the heavy snow that had accumulated above the entrance to the underground cave and appeared.
Then a strong scent enveloped Lee Han.
No matter how strong one is at drinking, an inexperienced wizard will never be able to withstand it…
“Nice to meet you. “My name is Lee Han.”
Lee Han greeted politely. The Gandharva was perplexed.
Without giving him time to recover from his embarrassment, Lee Han continued to ask.
“By any chance, what is your name?”
…You can call me the owner of Rockpool Cave.
“!”
This time Lee Han was surprised.
If it’s a rock pool cave…
– Rockpool Underground Cave (Beware the cave owner)
Isn’t this one of the paths out of Einrogard that Professor Lightning Walk told you about?
‘You look very fine?’
To be honest, I felt like the Gandharva in front of me was kinder than the professor.
“Are you the owner of Rockpool Cave?”
Do you know about Rock Grass Cave?
In an instant, Gandharva’s face distorted and a powerful force radiated out.
Lee Han was not embarrassed at all and answered calmly.
“I saw your name in the library.”
You’re probably not trying to go through a cave, are you?
“Me? “What is outside the cave?”
Lee Han played it cool.
Nilia, who was listening from behind, showed no change in her expression to the point where she was easily fooled.
If not, that’s okay. Don’t pay any attention to the Rock Grass Cave.
“Can I tell you something?”
what?
“Wizards are basically curious people, so if you just tell them not to be interested, they might become interested. “If you explain why they shouldn’t care, wizards will understand and they won’t care.”
At Lee Han’s words, Gandharva was lost in thought for a moment.
The freshman’s words were more plausible than I thought.
That could be… it could be possible.
“yes.”
Rockpool Cave is very dangerous.
“How exactly is it dangerous?”
“……”
Nilia looked at Lee Han from behind in bewilderment as if asking what he was doing.
You’re not doing that just to get in, are you?
Due to the clash between great magics, different worlds overlapped and the path became unstable.
Nilia clearly heard the same thing as Lee Han, but she didn’t understand it at all.
‘What do you mean?’
“Indeed… then I guess I won’t be able to touch it easily. “The magical energy must be complicated, and different dimensions overlap…”
That’s right.
“……”
Nilia gave a look of betrayal.
‘Is this an area where there are serious magic accidents?’
Wizards are basically people who think big.
The reason there was heavy snow falling around here right now was because of Wizard High School.
It was clear that the rock pool cave located underground was also an area where such a magic incident occurred.
Due to the clash between great magics, the flow of magical power is disrupted and other dimensions such as the spirit world are mixed…
Lee Han finished his note.
The guardian of the cave tells you not to enter, but other professors come and go when they are bored.
There must be a way to get through it.
“thank you for telling me. “I won’t even go into the rockweed cave.”
thanks! You are really different from other wizards. It will definitely be a huge success.
Gandharva was delighted with Lee Han’s understanding.
I was worried because students kept popping their heads in when they found this place, but it was really a relief.
Is there anything I can help you with? Did you say earlier that you don’t have enough to eat?
“yes. and…”
?
“I don’t even have enough clothes to wear. It’s such a sudden cold. “Everyone is naked and shaking.”
“?”
Nilia was also puzzled.
Are you rich in fabrics…?
I guess that’s true too.
“We don’t even have enough potions. “I couldn’t get ingredients because of the cold…”
Gandharva was truly heartbroken by Lee Han’s words.
I will take care of it!
* * *
“…Didn’t you go hunting??”
The friends were astonished by the cart Lee Han was pulling.
No matter how expert a hunter he was, he couldn’t bring back potions or coats, let alone well-packaged groceries.
Yoner looked enlightened and whispered softly.
“Did you hunt down the professor’s workshop?”
“…It’s a novel idea, but no.”
Lee Han organized the supplies he brought with his friends.
I felt like I could somehow get through this week at this rate.
I was worried about what would happen if it took longer, but…
‘Let’s think about it then.’
Lee Han was seriously considering going back to the cave and asking for a favor.
The other person was kinder than I expected.
‘I should visit regularly.’
“Are you ready?”
“depart! Everyone, come to your senses and follow me!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students, wearing their coats tightly and tying each other with ropes, began to walk through the snow under Lee Han’s leadership.
Although their expressions were solemn, the place they were heading to was the main building of the magic school.
It was time to listen to lectures on Monday morning.
“Ugh… wow.”
“Wake! “You can’t fall!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students barely managed to enter the main gate of the main building by pulling each other.
It was still cold inside the main building, but I felt like I would live much better without the snowstorm and strong winds.
“everyone…”
Professor Garcia looked very sad when he saw the students sitting in the classroom.
How did I end up in a school like this…
‘You’re not even half way there, are you?’
Lee Han was surprised to see the numbers in the classroom.
No matter how bad these kids are, they are skipping school…
“Professor Verdus. “Can I ask that the topic of today’s bestowing magic lecture is preparing for cold weather?”
Professor Garcia asked a beaver beastman professor standing next to him.
Originally, this should have been a time to explain what kind of magic enchantment is, but…
Looking at the half-frozen students, preparing for the cold seemed even more important.
“why? “Why should I do that?”
“Please.”
“Are the new students so stupid that they can’t even be taught?”
“But if you tell me the method, one or two people will be able to consistently try and succeed.”
“no. “I can’t do it because I’m stupid.”
“Do it.”
Professor Garcia crushed the corner of the table with his hands.
Professor Verdus was immediately convinced.
“I will! “I have to do it!”
‘I really need to be careful how I behave in front of Professor Garcia.’
