Episode 231
Quantity or quality?
This can be said in any field, but at least when it comes to summoning magic, quality is more important than quantity.
It was simple.
Compared to the benefit gained by increasing the quantity, the amount required is too much.
Not to mention magical power, you have to concentrate with all your might every time you summon each sphere, but if you do this, the wizard will fall first.
The same was true even if the burden was reduced by summoning from another world. Even beings from other worlds could not be summoned at will.
To that extent, summoning magic pursued quality, not quantity.
If you have learned how to summon a skeleton warrior, you can get a stronger skeleton warrior.
If that succeeds, a higher-level undead monster will be created.
“But the principal had dozens or hundreds of summoned beasts, right?”
Yoner and Ihan looked pitifully at Gaynando’s question.
And ignored it.
“Isn’t fifteen too much?”
“Hmm. Have I summoned too many? “But it’s not too much of a problem.”
Yoner was once again surprised by Lee Han’s words.
I knew that my friend from the Wardanaz family had as much magical power as a crazy dragon, but I never thought it would be like this.
“I don’t know much about black magic, but… do you usually practice this way?”
The princess shook her head up and down in response to Yoner’s question.
Since he knew about black magic, he seemed to think that what Lee Han was doing now was strange.
“It’s not normally done this way. “It’s an ancient method that has been put into practice.”
“Indeed… Wardanaz. General necromancy is too easy, so you’re trying to make progress by resurrecting an ancient, outdated method? “It’s an idea worthy of your intelligence.”
Asan said as if he understood.
Lee Han was about to hit him, but held back because he was wondering what Asan was going to do.
“It sounds grandiose, but… it’s not close to that.”
“Still, I think this is too reckless.”
“that’s right. “Progress is a bit slow.”
Lee Han tapped his cane.
Unlike before, when they didn’t move at all, this time the skeleton warriors all raised their arms at the same time.
Then they all threw wads of paper at once.
“evil!”
Gainando was hit by a flying wad of paper.
“This is all that is possible right now. “You have to do it twice to succeed once.”
“oh…”
“There is a long way to go. yet.”
I thought it was because the students didn’t know much about black magic.
However, the princess was astonished.
It wasn’t enough to raise fifteen skeleton warriors in the ancient way, and to control them to the point where they could fire all at once.
Crack-tap-
When the princess pointed as if to look at that, Neblen said as if she understood.
“ah. It certainly doesn’t look good. I will help Wardanaz clean up. Wardanaz. “I don’t think the private room is an appropriate space to practice. Would you like me to help you move?”
“I guess so. thanks.”
“Why with something like this?”
The Blue Dragon Tower friends rolled up their sleeves and began picking up the bones one by one.
“Sharkan. thanks.”
-Crung.
Lee Han said thank you as he placed the luggage on Sharkan’s back.
“Gonadaltes. “Take this and go.”
“What… what????”
Asan was startled and looked around.
Lee Han said, calming his friend down.
“calm down. Asan. The principal didn’t come. “The name of this summon is Gonadaltes.”
“Aha… …wardanaz. “I’m not qualified to say anything about other people’s summons, but wouldn’t that be a bit dangerous???”
As the friends walked away carrying their luggage one by one, the princess shook her head with a frustrated expression.
* * *
Salko of the Tutanta family was walking with his friends.
It was because there was someone I wanted to find.
“Wardanaz is now in Professor Thunderwalker’s cabin. let’s go.”
“Tu, tutanta. “Wouldn’t it be a little dangerous?”
“Of course, Wardanaz is a fearsome guy who can never let down his guard. However, they are not idiots who are incapable of cooperation like the White Tiger Tower guys. “If the conditions are right, he will be able to join hands.”
“no. Wouldn’t it be dangerous to go with just this number of people? “If Wardanaz suddenly attacks…”
“Is that what it sounded like?”
Salko clicked his tongue as he looked at the scared Black Turtle Tower student.
“I told you that Wardanaz is not the kind of person who would attack so recklessly.”
“Yeah, but. Imirg. “What do you think?”
The Black Turtle Tower student turned to his friend. The giant mixed-race student who was taking the black magic lecture with Lee Han was embarrassed.
“Uh, uh…”
In fact, even though we were taking black magic classes together, I had no idea what kind of student Wardanaz really was.

The prince seemed a bit stupid, Rafadel seemed a bit rude, and Wardanaz…
Other than the fact that he was a magical genius, I had no clue whatsoever.
“Well, I’m good at magic.”
“Wardanaz is good at magic. That bastard. Are you really the same age as us?”
“The Wardanaz family is famous.”
“no. “I’ve seen people from the Wardanaz family from afar, but no matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t that bad.”
The Black Turtle Tower students walked away whispering.
If there was a student who was moderately outstanding, you would say, ‘That guy is smart,’ but if there was a student who was so incomprehensibly outstanding, you couldn’t help but react, ‘????’
Lee Han was like that.
The way he followed along without hesitation while listening to lectures from all schools reminded me of a monster rather than a genius.
A monster who only pursues magic!
“really. I heard something strange the other day. “The Blue Dragon Tower guys say Wodanaz always prepares meals for them.”
“Does that make sense?”
“But didn’t Wardanaz make vegetable stew the other day? “That was really delicious.”
“It’s not that I can’t cook. Since you’re good at alchemy, you’re probably good at cooking too. But preparing a meal for every meal is a different story. Do you think you could do that?”
The Black Turtle Tower student was lost in thought.
In Einrogard, where food ingredients are already scarce, you have to wake up every day at dawn to prepare meals by washing vegetables, peeling them, and chopping meat.
“I don’t think Wardanaz would have any reason to do that.”
“okay. The Blue Dragon Tower guys are bluffing. “Wardanaz has cooked before, so he’s just bluffing.”
“Those kids. “They are great nobles, but they tell dirty lies!”
“Noble people are like that. Among those who boast of their pedigree, there are only a few who show appropriate abilities. You’re all there. “It’s over there.”
Salko pointed to a cabin near the forest in the distance.
It was the cabin of Professor Thunderwalk.
“Wardanaz! Is there one? “I have a story to tell you… ugh!”
“Uh-huh huh!”
The Black Turtle Tower students screamed at the sight of the skeleton warriors placed like scarecrows behind the hut.
* * *
“I’m sorry. “I didn’t know you would be so scared.”
“Sleep, wait a minute. “I’m not scared.”
“that’s right. “I was just embarrassed.”
The Salco gang’s students all came from rough backgrounds.
I don’t know anything else, but I reacted very violently to the word ‘I was scared.’
“Anyone can get scared if they suddenly encounter the undead. I understand.”
“I said no!!”
“stop. Wardanaz. “The reason I came here today is to make you a proposal.”
Salko glanced at the skeleton warriors standing all over the garden.
Even if you didn’t try to look, they were the ones you kept looking at.
‘I don’t know much about black magic, but is it really possible to summon that many people?’
“What are you proposing? ah. Salchow. “Do you want to join the undead world?”
“What are you talking about? “I’m not interested in black magic.”
‘Even with a straight face.’
Lee Han grumbled inwardly.
I meant it as a joke!
“…I found a way to escape.”
Salko lowered his voice and spoke. Lee Han was surprised.
You found a way to escape?
“ah. Are you talking about the rock-grass cave guarded by Gandharva? I think it would be best to give up there. “It doesn’t seem like we can ever break through.”
“…This is the first cave I’ve heard of. “How on earth did you find such a cave?”
Salko was inwardly astonished.
If the Blue Dragon Tower students took pride in their family, the White Tiger Tower students took pride in their swords, and the Black Turtle Tower students took pride in their ability to adapt.
-We are the ones who travel around this vast magic school the most and know it best!
It wasn’t entirely wrong.
In fact, Black Turtle Tower students were generally very adaptable, so they were the first to find out the necessary information by exploring various places.
But there were sometimes exceptions.
“I heard it while walking around.”
Lee Han, who has an adaptability that none of the Black Turtle Tower students can match, answered as if it was no big deal.
That appearance radiated an aura that only an experienced student could exude.
Salko, slightly overwhelmed, hesitated and continued speaking.
“Not the cave, anyway.”
“Could it be the road towards the mountains? It would be better to postpone the route towards the mountains. “Last time, I trusted and followed the White Tiger Tower guys and only suffered losses.”
“Not that way… If you walk west along the bottom of the mountain range, you will come across a desert-like terrain. “Do you know anything?”
Out of courtesy, he asked if he knew, but Salco naturally thought that Lee Han wouldn’t know.
Who would have gone there and for what reason?
Salchow and Black Turtle Tower students wouldn’t have gone if they didn’t have the information.
“know.”
“?!??!”
“Uh, how?”
“The phone league crashed last time… so it’s not that important. So what is that desert like?”
“Look at this map.”
According to Salko, one of the Black Turtle Tower students had a strange experience while wandering around the school at night.
It was a dark room with nothing in it, but a whisper came to me that if I stepped foot in it, my wish would be granted.
The student said, ‘I want to get out of school!’…
“So did you receive this guidance?”
“okay.”
“Interesting. “Where is the room?”
“When I went back, it was gone.”
‘It looks suspicious.’
The only thing that increased after entering magic school was suspicion.
There is no way to know whether the person whispering to the student in that room is a wish-granting spirit or a skeleton principal pretending to be a spirit.
“Anyway, if you look at this map…”
The map pointed to a desert area located west of the school site.
A well is drawn, and if you follow the well underground…
“Underground passage?”
“okay. “It is an underground passage that passes under the castle walls.”
“It says that a large number of monsters appear near the well.”
“okay. So we need strong combat power.”
“I’m not that strong in combat…”
“??”
“????”
The Black Turtle Tower students looked at the skeleton warriors standing in the garden.
And then I looked at Lee Han again.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Oh, nothing. Anyway, any thoughts?”
“I always want to secure an escape route. That’s because difficulty is the problem. “I still have a lot of work to do, but I don’t want to waste my time…”
In response to Lee Han’s words, Salco signaled with his chin.
Then the Black Turtle Tower students began putting down the boxes they had brought with them.
‘The Black Turtle Tower guys know something.’
Lee Han gave an expectant look.
As expected, unlike other top students, Black Turtle Top students were friends who knew what trading was all about.
‘ingredient? reagent? Grimoire? food?’
“Wardanaz. Look at this. These are statues and ceramics that can be decorated in a private room. “Isn’t it beautiful?”
“…Why are you doing this to me?”
“Uh… don’t nobles like this?”
“Who likes this?”
“The Blue Dragon Tower students couldn’t buy this because they didn’t have it…”
“……”
I never thought my friends would be buying such useless decorations without their knowledge.
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
