Episode 225
The next morning.
The Blue Dragon Tower students walked out to the lounge with blank faces.
I got rid of the undead and found out about the lectures that involved writing exams, but…
…Actually, nothing much has changed.
After all, students were the ones studying.
There aren’t just one or two lectures, but most of them are written exams, so what can you do?
I have no choice but to stay up all night studying.
“…wait for a sec. Lee Han. “What are you eating?”
Yoner felt strange and asked.
Lee Han was eating the snack brought by the undead.
“Isn’t it true?”
“Isn’t this a snack brought by the undead? “That’s right.”
Lee Han answered calmly.
Of course, it would have been best not to eat these snacks and throw them away, but reality cannot be that ideal.
As supplies were scarce, it was a waste to throw away these snacks.
Moreover, the snack had no effect on Lee Han. It had already been confirmed yesterday.
‘It’s so delicious.’
I don’t know who cooked it, but the skeleton principal’s snack was needlessly delicious.
“Wardanaz… We give him healthy snacks… and he himself gets spoiled snacks…”
From behind, other students were crying and looking at Lee Han.
Students who had lived in a noble family their whole lives were not used to having someone eat spoiled food for them.
“It’s not bad. delicious…”
“Everyone saw it, right? “I am repaying Wardanaz’s dedication.”
“Gainando. Study! “Stop touching the cards!”
“ah. “You said you did it all?!”
Seeing his friends encouraging each other, Lee Han shrugged his shoulders and picked up the next snack.

<Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic>.
Professor Alpen Knighton was slightly surprised by the enthusiasm shown by the Blue Dragon Tower students.
Of course, passion and grades were separate things.
-Gainando-gun. I understand that you are close friends with Wardanaz, but it would be better for you to learn from him separately and take the test again.
-…Well, can’t I just learn it? I’ll do my best on the final exam. Absolutely!
<Basic Imperial Language and Logic>.
Professor Rosine Plüwerk cheered on the students.
-Everyone is very good. With such great students, the future of the empire is so bright. Richmond student. 37 points. It’s great. Student Jo Jeon. 33 points. Very good. Wardanaz student. hmm. good job.
-?
-Why doesn’t Wardanaz tell me the score…
The puzzled Blue Dragon Tower students glanced at the three-digit score written on Lee Han’s test paper and fell silent.
Sometimes, it hurt me that my friend was so good at studying.
‘Let’s keep this to ourselves.’
‘The other tower guys should be grateful for our consideration.’

dinner.
Professor Ingalldell, who was waiting for the students while watching the sunset, looked puzzled as he saw the students running towards him with happy faces.
“What happened to everyone?”
“no. professor!”
“Please proceed with the lecture!”
The White Tiger Tower students looked at the professor with eyes full of affection.
They were White Tiger Tower students who had been suffering from written exams all day.
It wasn’t strange to feel a halo behind Professor Ingalldell, who didn’t take the test.
“hot! Ha!”
“Hwaap!”
Lee Han asked Professor Ingerdel as the White Tiger Tower students were excitedly swinging their wooden swords.
“really. professor. “I have something to ask…”
“I knew so. Are you trying to ask about Rock Drake’s weakness?”
Professor Ingalldel spoke as if he knew everything.
“…I’m not.”
Lee Han almost gave in with a straight face.
Anyone who sees it would think that Lee Han is at least an enemy of Rock Drake!
“It wasn’t?”
“Why on earth do you have that illusion…?”
“The principal said that if it was Wardanaz, he would try to catch it alone next time…”
“……”
“I guess not. “What are you trying to ask?”
“Actually, while dealing with Rock Drake…”
Professor Ingalldel gave him a look that said, ‘You said no and got hit.’
Lee Han explained what happened as quickly as possible.

“…I noticed the same change in magical properties, and I wonder if this is really a good thing…”
“It’s definitely a good thing!”
Professor Ingalldel was delighted with the work as if it were his own.
Even if you learn the vision handed down from your family from a young age, if you don’t have talent, you won’t be able to do it, and that was the change in the nature of your magical power.
However, a young swordsman is able to realize on his own how to change the nature of magical power.
It was a good sign that he might perfect his own swordsmanship later.
“Geniuses who devoted their lives to swordsmanship would always perfect their own swordsmanship. “The swordsmanship completed in this way is not just swordsmanship, but the pride and self-esteem of the swordsman.”
“uh…”
Lee Han hesitated.
The story was going too far ahead.
‘I’m not really interested in my own swordsmanship.’
Lee Han had no ambition to establish his own swordsmanship and leave a mark in the history of the empire’s swordsmanship.
Isn’t the reason I took swordsmanship classes in the first place was to get easy grades?
As the Byeokam Sword learned from Allarlong was a sufficiently good swordsmanship, Lee Han had no intention of changing or reinterpreting this swordsmanship.
“Wardanaz student. Mix that change in nature with your swordsmanship. Then, you will naturally see the sword unique to Wardanaz students.”
Lee Han was even more embarrassed when he was suddenly forced to practice swordsmanship with a change in magical properties.
Lee Han’s swordsmanship, Byeokamgeom, had already been completed to a considerable level.
It was natural as I had been wielding it since I was young.
But now, if you mix in the newly realized change in magical properties, there will be a lot of confusion until you get used to it again.
Of course, Lee Han didn’t want to do that.
I was just asking to hear what this phenomenon is and how to use it…
“professor. “I haven’t completely completed the magic cycle yet, so if I’m too greedy about changing my temperament, won’t the sword become dull?”
“it’s okay. Wardanaz student. The path of the sword is not that narrow, and Wardanaz students are not that talented. “Both together is enough.”
“……”
Lee Han gritted his teeth and nodded. And then he turned around lonely.
Durgyu spoke from the side.
“heard. Lee Han. Are you trying to apply changes in magical properties to swordsmanship? That’s amazing. Even the students in our tower don’t even think about changes in their temperament, perhaps due to magic circulation.”
“I am very serious about swordsmanship.”
“Of course I knew. A student who is serious about swordsmanship like you is rare even in our tower. “By now, your friends must be feeling your sincerity.”
“……”
Lee Han sighed inwardly at the sight of Dergyu taking it seriously even though he had made a joke.
Well, it’s not Dergyu’s fault…
“I wish I could help you spar. “It will take a while to get used to swordsmanship, but I don’t think other guys will care.”
“of course. Lee Han. But I think other friends would also accept it if they heard the situation.”
‘I don’t think so.’
Lee Han clashed his wooden sword with Durgyu.
Since Professor Ingalldell said that, every time I saw him every week, I would ask, ‘How has your swordsmanship changed?’, so I had to show some results.
‘The primary goal… let’s break the balance.’
Fortunately, Lee Han had a goal to refer to.
Last time, when the apprentice knights of the Baekyangmok Knights came, they saw a knight using a sword.
Ravda of the Enge family lightly surrounded her sword with magic that had a pulling quality, breaking the opponent’s balance every time they collided.
Of course, as the level increases, there will be more complex techniques, but for Lee Han, there was no need for them.
The important thing is to be able to show Professor Ingalldell, ‘I practiced like this!’
“What are you two doing?”
“I heard Wodanaz is practicing vampire swords.”
“what? “Isn’t this a sword only used by the Enge family?”
“Wardanaz, that bastard…”
The White Tiger Tower students looked at Lee Han in surprise.
Even now, I have enough swordsmanship skills to be at the top level, but I can’t believe I didn’t stop there and started researching to develop new swordsmanship.
He was truly a greedy man for swordsmanship.
“We can’t lose either!”
“Wardanaz. “If you have a passion for swordsmanship, you won’t be able to beat us!”
‘I want to beat them up one by one.’
Lee Han, who was struggling and staggering under Dergyu’s attack, was angry inside.
The rest of me is getting so frustrated with the swordsmanship I’m not used to…
I felt like I had returned to the days when I first received swordsmanship training.
“Lee Han. “Are you okay?”
“Okay. “Let’s continue.”
Regardless of his mood, Lee Han was the type of person who did not hesitate if he had to do something.
I feel frustrated, but what can I do if Professor Ingalldel wants it?
We need to produce results and show them.
‘When the attack comes, stop. When the attack comes again, it stops.’
Instead of performing his swordsmanship moves smoothly, Lee Han focused solely on defense.
As changing the nature of magical power itself was difficult, it was necessary to give up other aspects.
There’s only one thing I’m aiming for.
When an opponent’s attack comes in, it pulls it in with the magical power of absorption and stops its movement.
Kang, Kang, Kang, Kang-
Durgyu’s rapid attacks hit the blade in succession, but for a moment the sword could not return to its original position and stopped in the air.
“just now! Did you just see it? Lee Han?!”
“okay. I saw.”
Lee Han sighed in relief.
‘Still, how did you succeed once?’
The level of difficulty was different between indiscriminately pouring magical energy into one’s hands without worrying about waste, and infusing magical energy just enough to prevent the wooden sword from breaking.
Swordsmen who could not reach the point where they could extend magical power to their sword and circulate it as steadily as their own bodies had to fight by squeezing out magical energy and infusing it into their sword whenever necessary.
There was a lot of waste of mana, but it was something that had no choice but to be endured.
However, people like Lee Han had to worry about other things.
I was worried that the sword would break if I injected too much magical energy into it!
Showing the vampire sword required even more concentration as it required infusing magical power every time the swords collided.
“Lee Han, your swordsmanship is a type of sword that is heavy and strong. “If you break your opponent’s balance just by blocking their attack, your counter will become even more powerful.”
“thanks. “Durgyu.”
“ruler. “Then let’s continue.”
“…Couldn’t you rest a little?”
“Lee Han. What are you talking about? “If you don’t continue when you attain enlightenment, the swordsmanship will be lost in your hands, right?”
Dergyu was surprised and wondered what Lee Han, who knew enough to know, would say.
Professor Ingalldel also helped.
“you’re right. Wardanaz. “I’d better continue.”
“Actually, I have magical powers…”
“?”
“?”
“…it’s nothing. Let’s continue. “Durgyu.”
“okay. i get it!”
Lee Han, who was trying to make an excuse that he lacked magical power, gave up and sighed.
‘shit. I was trying to get some rest…’
Both Dergyu and Professor Ingaldel were embarrassed because they knew Lee Han so well.
As much as I know I can do more, I push on relentlessly even if I want to take a little break.
* * *
next day.
Lee Han relaxed his tense muscles and headed to Professor Boladi’s classroom.
My whole body was sore because I practiced an unfamiliar sword technique yesterday. It’s rare that I don’t collapse right away, but I just fall asleep.
‘I’m afraid to open the door.’
I’m afraid to meet you in a perfect state, but I’m afraid to meet you in an imperfect state.
Lee Han thought so and opened the door.
“hello.”
Professor Boladi, who was standing like a stone statue, opened his mouth when Lee Han sat down.
“Have you completed the floating cold shield?”
“yes? Uh… I haven’t done it yet.”
“preparation.”
“Wait.”
“?”
“Rock Drake…”
Lee Han regretted speaking out.
Professor Boladi didn’t speak up first, so why did he dig his own grave?
“Do you want to know Rock Drake’s weakness?”
“That’s not it…”
“I guess what the principal said was true. “I said it last time, but I’m so anxious.”
“……”
Lee Han was truly mortified.
