Episode 240
The weekend has finally arrived.
Normally, it would not have been enough to congratulate each other on holding on as it was a break after a grueling lecture, but…
…There was nothing like that this weekend.
A mountain of pre-final assignments.
Even the most courageous student could not ignore all of these tasks.
If that happens, you could end up being locked in the punishment room even during vacation.
White Tiger Tower student, Anago Alpha, yawned.
The morning sun felt particularly stinging.
“Ango.”
“Why are you calling me?”
“I’m tired, but don’t I feel a little proud?”
“Actually, it’s a bit like that.”
Anrago nodded at his friend’s words.
While the other White Tiger Tower students were sleeping in the dormitory, Anrago was heading to Professor Verdus’ Seongakkan with his friends.
I can’t believe I’ve been moving around like this since Saturday morning for my assignment.
Where else can you find such a diligent and sincere student?
Angago had no choice but to take it upon himself.
“Neither the Phoenix Tower nor the Blue Dragon Tower would have come out as early as us.”
“i think so too.”
Rattling-
Angago opened the door to Seonggak-gwan with words.
The classroom on the first floor of Seonggak Hall that Professor Verdus opened for students was dark and devoid of any sign of presence.
Without thinking, the two White Tiger Tower students tried to pull the string of the luminous artifact hanging from the ceiling…
“Don’t turn it on.”
“Aaaah!!!”
Anrago screamed and fell backwards.
It was natural to hear a human voice in a dark, empty classroom.
It was funny that a wizard was afraid of ghosts and ghosts, but it couldn’t be helped.
And above all…
‘intruder!!’
As the intruder who turned the school upside down last week came to mind, Anrago quickly pulled out his wooden sword and swung it.
“Don’t come near! “If you come near, I will cut you down!”
“It’s noisy. Be quite.”
“…Wodanaz?”
“okay.”
Lee Han brought a light into the air of the classroom with a tired face.
His face usually didn’t show much emotion, but even taking that into account, he looked particularly tired today.
“Since when have you been with me?”
“Since yesterday afternoon.”
“……”
“……”
The two White Tiger Tower students cleared their throats.
Suddenly, they felt stupid for bragging about coming out early in the morning.
“Why were you turning off the lights?”
“I’m working on a magic circle, but it’s hard to see when it’s bright.”
Lee Han said while sipping coffee.
Several professors asked, ‘When will we have a floating steel shield?’ ‘When are you planning to show me your shield?’ ‘I’m curious about the shield.’ As much as Lee Han pecked at him, he was concentrating and putting off many other things to do.
As soon as the weekday lecture ended, I was so engrossed that I couldn’t sleep…
Thanks to this, there was some success.
‘If I use a magic circle, it will work out somehow.’
The most difficult and important part of the floating shield.
That was the part where an order was given to the shield to ‘run around in circles around the owner and block it when danger comes.’
The wizard had to cast this complex command using only wand movements and spells, so as a first-time wizard, I couldn’t help but feel like my brain was twisted.
No matter how you look at it, it’s not that Lee Han’s abilities are lacking, but the magic difficulty setting was wrong…
Lee Han approached without giving up.
-Just as you split a high-difficulty spell to cast it, you also split the floating shield to approach it.
Take a split approach.
Lee Han already had several previous records.
A magic that shoots out violently rotating water bullets, also known as <Eumidihus’ Water Bullets>.
No matter how genius Lee Han was, he couldn’t cast it in one go with his current skills…
Surprisingly, Lee Han succeeded in casting.
A water bead was floated and rotated until it floated.
This was only possible thanks to enormous magical power!
As he had some magical energy left, Lee Han had no objection to taking a step-by-step approach.
This method is virtually impossible for other wizards who will collapse from exhaustion of mana after practicing a few times.
Of course, the level of difficulty of this magic was difficult even if you break it down.
So Lee Han even mobilized a magic circle.

The magic circle was an essential element in this type of high-difficulty magic as it replaced part of the magician’s casting process.
the problem is…
“Is this by any chance completed?”
“We have a rough assortment.”
“…Uh, was it possible to complete the magic circle this quickly??”
As I experienced at the last festival, magic circles were not easy to make.
As it became more difficult and complicated, all kinds of errors and variables emerged.
And in order to confirm this, the wizard had no choice but to constantly test it himself.
“So you stayed up all night.”
“……”
“……”
Is that something that happens if you stay up all night?
The two White Tiger Tower students felt something strange, but were unable to strongly refute it.
Because Lee Han was at the top of his grade and they just…
…Because I was a student.
When Lee Han said, ‘If you are a student at a magic school, you should complete the floating shield magic circle in one night,’ they couldn’t refute it.
‘It’s strange…’
‘If Professor Knighton was there…’
Anrago, who kept tilting his head, said that for now and moved on.
“for a moment. “Then the floating shield is complete!?”
“no. If you cast it now, it will fall in a few seconds. “The magic duration amplification work is not finished.”
By combining Lee Han’s spell and the power of the auxiliary magic circles that helped with the spell, engraved on the shield, it was possible to somehow make the shield float and move around.
The problem was how long it lasted.
Such a powerful spell consumed an incomparably greater amount of magical energy than low-circle magic.
If you just cast it without any countermeasures, it won’t last even a few seconds.
So, amplifying the duration is essential…
Lee Han massaged his frowning brow with his hand. When I heard his words, I suddenly felt tired.
‘To be honest, it’s still so complicated that I’m worried that it will even be possible to amplify the duration.’
Although it was completed, honestly, the magic circles engraved on the shield were breathtaking.
The magic circles are so complicated that even Lee Han thinks, ‘I’ve finally made it to completion!’
Now, if you add a duration amplification magic circle here, what is the probability that it won’t break down?
‘…I think it’s 99% likely to break down. Should I make a new one?’
No matter how tough Lee Han was, I couldn’t even think of making this again.
‘If you cast it directly instead of using a magic circle… it will be more difficult.’
“But can’t we just take a look?”
“To see the sights?”
Angago spoke in a frightened voice when it seemed like Lee Han was glaring at him.
“Ah… no. I didn’t really ask you to show it, but are you angry? “You’re not angry, are you?”
“I’m not angry.”
Lee Han was just tired.
“I’ve wanted a floating shield for a long time. So I just wanted to see how it would work…”
“i get it. okay.”
“…You’re not angry, are you?”
“I heard it didn’t work out.”
Lee Han stood up from his seat.
Unlike wizards who have to calculate the remaining magic power each time they use magic, Lee Han used magic one more time and nothing happened.
Since I had completed the magic circle anyway, I had to check to see if it was running well…
“If you’re unlucky, it could sink in one second, so watch carefully.”
“Yes, yes!”
“I’m ready, Wardanaz!”
The White Tiger Tower students spoke with sparkling eyes. Anyone who saw it had an expression of excitement.
‘Why do these kids like shields so much?’
Lee Han, who was not from a family of knights, could not understand the irrational obsession of the White Tiger Tower students with Mugu.
Weapons such as swords, shields, and armor were part of the body and a source of pride for knights.
-oh my god. Did you see that article? I’m still using the sword made by the Aeron Guild!
-You’re using a cheap sword that’s roughly made and sold ignorantly. Tsk tsk. As a knight, you have respect.
It was the knights who, out of pride, pursued more precious and more expensive weapons.
“Rise and protect your master, shield!”
Lee Han memorized the spell.
At that moment, the steel shield lying on the desk rose into the air and began to slowly revolve around Lee Han.
Anrago let out an exclamation.
“It really came to mind!!”
“Wardanaz! Wodanaz! Can I attack you!? “I’m not saying it’s going to attack you, but I’m curious about the shield’s performance…”
“Do it quickly. “Because I don’t know when it will end.”
The White Tiger Tower student hastily threw the wad of paper.
Then the shield spun around and blocked the wad of paper.
“I! I want to try it! “I’ll throw it from the back!”
“okay! Throw it!”
‘What have these kids been drinking?’
Lee Han, who was tired after staying up all night, couldn’t keep up with the excitement of the White Tiger Tower students.
Why are you so excited?
Tuk!
“I just… blocked it!! Even though I threw it from a square!!”
Lee Han tried to say, ‘Your attack was so clumsy that I could feel it. What was the blind spot?’ but ended up getting tired.
Anyway, the shield seemed to be half-successful.
Now if we just increase the duration…
“Here we go!”
“Okay, this time it’s a chair!”
“Throw the wooden sword!”
Kang! thud! bang!
The two White Tiger Tower students were excited and kept throwing things.
In fact, he might have been excited about leaving the shield and throwing something at Lee Han.
“…What are you all doing?”
“What are you doing?”
Students who came in late were astonished by the bizarre appearance in the classroom.
The White Tiger Tower students are throwing trash around at Lee Han.
If the other person wasn’t Lee Han, I would have reacted like, ‘The White Tiger Top guys are harassing people!’
“Wardanaz has created a floating shield and is helping us test it!”
“I think we can stop now.”
“just one! “I’ll throw just one more!”
“Okay…”
Lee Han sat down on the chair again because he was annoyed and paused.
‘for a moment. Hasn’t it been over an hour now?’
what?

“Moradi. I hope you don’t feel too offended. In some ways, this is lucky for us. “It’s overwhelming power compared to other groups.”
Durgyu spoke to Giselle to ease her mood.
The only people who wanted to hike the mountains during the golden weekend were a few odd people, such as students from the Shadow Patrol.
However, there was only one reason why they gathered together to enter the mountain range.
Both Giselle and Durgyu had guessed that Professor Ingerdel’s final exam would be difficult.
Already, some of the White Tiger Tower students had left behind their other pre-final assignments and were entering the mountain range to find useful prey in advance.
Even if I failed other classes, I was determined to get a good grade in the swordsmanship class.
Of course, Giselle was on the verge of turning away.
‘You crazy people, stop lowering your top average score! So you get ignored!’
“Moradi. Considering the amount of homework you have to do, you know you can’t waste time, even on weekends. Let’s do our best instead of fighting with each other.”
“I know, so stop fussing now. “How many enchantment tasks did you complete?”
“There has been quite a bit of progress. Thanks to Lee Han’s help. “If it’s okay, why don’t we do it together?”
“……”
Giselle was lost in thought.
Although there was nothing good about being involved with Wardanaz…
…In this situation, Wardanaz’s magical abilities were coveted.
Especially since you can’t expect intelligent advice from other friends in the tower!
“Wardanaz will never obey.”
“Uhm. Of course, Lee Han… may not fully help without anything in return, but…”
Dergyu also had a conscience and did not say that Lee Han was just helping him.
“Lee Han has not yet finished the granting magic task. As long as you ask questions while we’re together, he’ll answer them. “Because you know that nothing good will come of fighting each other until the final exam.”
“You two came first.”
“Lee Han!”
When Lee Han arrived, Dergyu turned his head in joy.
Then, I was astonished to see the shield spinning around Lee Han.
“Ah… no… that doesn’t make sense?? “It doesn’t make sense…!”
“What are you talking about?”
