Episode 242
“It’s nice to see that they are competitive with each other.”
“…You don’t have to comfort me.”
‘It wasn’t comforting.’
Lee Han meant what he said.
Isn’t this how we compete to do well on exams?
The Blue Dragon Tower students had to follow that example.
-Wardanaz. I’m so sleepy. I can’t turn my head. Eating one sweet cookie might make you want to study again.
-Wardanaz. Are you going to give me a cake if I finish my homework?
No matter how much I sold it for silver coins, there were times when I wanted to punch my friends in the back of the head when I saw them trying to negotiate dessert while doing their homework.
Just study!
“Shall we go in now?”
Dergyu began speaking as if the silence was awkward.
I wanted to quickly run in and hit my friends in the back.
“no.”
“Why?”
“?!”
In contrast, Lee Han and Giselle had no intention of going in now.
If you leave them alone, they will fight among themselves and waste their strength, so why go in first now?
“Shouldn’t we stop it??”
“It’s a good way to stop people if they fight each other enough to fight each other in the first place. Durgyu. “Right now, we still have feelings for each other, but trying to stop it by force won’t do any good.”
“I guess I have no choice but to agree with Wardanaz this time. that’s right. Choi. “Nothing good comes from stopping a fight in the middle of a fight.”
“…I can’t believe the two of you right now…”
Dergyu wondered if it could be possible.
“Durgyu. “Don’t you trust me?”
“Are you suspicious of the comrades you are with right now? Choi. Was he that kind of guy?”
“I.. I’m sorry. “I doubted you.”
Rustle!
“?”
I heard someone moving through the bushes on the road ahead.
The three held their breath with nervous faces.
“It’s here, right?”
“Bartrek! I know it’s in there! Come out! Let’s compete fairly! “Give me the book!”
“……”
Giselle and Durgyu sighed as they saw the three White Tiger Tower students who appeared again.
A very real group…!
Lee Han muttered.
“The White Tiger Tower students decided to gather here today?”
“shut up.”
“I guess not.”
Craddangtang!
With a loud noise, the White Tiger Tower students inside the cave tumbled out.
The students who arrived late were surprised.
“How do you guys know!?”
“And you guys?!”
“…Then let’s talk with the sword!”
“That’s what I’m going to say!”
“Spark!”
“Bridge, run!”
‘oh. ‘You fight well.’
Lee Han was impressed by the fierce battle of the White Tiger Tower students.
Since you don’t know when you’ll be fighting these guys, there’s no harm in checking your tactics in advance.
Although it has the stigma of being ‘the least interested in studying’ among the four towers of Einrogard, the White Tiger Tower is also home to some of the most talented people in the empire.
Moreover, they were the ones enduring the hellish first-year life. It would be even weirder if my magic skills didn’t improve.
The fighting style currently shown by the White Tiger Tower students was a mixture of a swordsman and a wizard.
Even if you fight with a simple magic spell on your sword, shield, or body, its power increases several times.
Aside from their excellent swordsmanship skills, each of them had a solid foundation of training in a knightly family, so they were able to adapt to this type of strengthening magic relatively quickly.
Body strengthening magic is more difficult to adapt to than you might think.
Immediately, their limbs became lighter and strength they never had before came out, but not many people were able to control it skillfully.
Even mercenaries who spent their entire lives on the battlefield did the same.
This was bound to be advantageous to those who had a solid foundation built up since childhood.
Seeing the quick and flashy clash, Lee Han looked at the White Tiger Tower students a little differently.
‘Why do these guys who know how to fight so hard don’t study so much?’
Dergyu also watched the fight with concentration and came to his senses.
“Lee Han. When will I get there… Lee Han? Lee Han??”
Dergyu was startled and looked around.
Lee Han, who had been next to him until just now, was nowhere to be seen.
“Mo, Moradi. Lee Han…”

“I just used an invisibility spell and entered the cave.”
“……”
* * *
Since it was pointless to wait quietly while the White Tiger Tower students were fighting fiercely outside, Lee Han came into the cave.
I’m going to take this book later anyway, so it won’t make much of a difference if I take it now.
A foul smell stung my nose.
‘alchemy?’
A decoction boiling in a pot, and a book placed next to the pot.
Lee Han was able to figure out the identity right away.
‘Fortunately, I wasn’t planning on going toe-to-toe with the giant.’
When I thought about it, no matter how reckless the White Tiger Tower students were, they were not reckless enough to go toe-to-toe with a giant.
Lee Han slightly reflected on his suspicion of the White Tiger Tower students.
Since there were so many crazy people at the magic school, the White Tiger Tower students also thought, ‘No way.’
After putting the book in his pocket, Lee Han looked inside the pot.
This was to check how complete the decoction was.
“!”
Lee Han was surprised to see that the decoction was more complete than expected.
Looking at the recipe written in the book, it was definitely not a decoction of low difficulty. After many trials and errors, it was clear that it had been completed to this point.
‘I guess I should keep some with me just in case.’
Lee Han opened the lid of the empty potion bottle and filled it with decoction.
bang!
‘what?’
Lee Han was puzzled by the sound coming from outside, which was different from the noises he had heard before.
Could it be that new White Tiger Tower students have arrived?
If not, why suddenly…
“It’s a kurare lizard!”
Lee Han ran out of the cave and realized what was happening.
The surrounding monsters came to see the commotion caused by the White Tiger Tower students.
“Lower your posture! “If you get hit, it’s a pain in the ass!”
“Keep them in check so they don’t get near!”
The students who had been fighting just now seemed to be shocked, so they formed a formation with their shoulders pressed against each other.
Kurare Lizard, a huge lizard monster with a body like a large crocodile.
Its massive weight itself was a powerful weapon, but what was more threatening was the paralyzing venom released from its salivary glands.
Whoosh!
As the students gathered together, the kurare lizard immediately shot out paralyzing poison. A lump with a squishy consistency flew in.
Paralyzing poison stuck to the shield with a fluttering sound. The eyes of the White Tiger Tower students trembled with astonishment.
“This way! “You lizard!”
When Dergyu and Giselle ran out, the White Tiger Tower students were surprised.
no?
“Durgyu! Why here…”
“Concentrate!”
Lee Han ran out from behind, shouting firmly.
“Even Wardanaz?! Why on earth… Wow!”
One student, who could not hide his curiosity despite the warning, became stiff and fell forward.
The kurare lizard swung its front paws with ferocious force. The intention was to drag the paralyzed student away.
“I would have told you to concentrate!”
“If it were you, would you be able to concentrate?!”
Not only Durgyu and Giselle, but even Wardanaz suddenly appeared, so how many people would be able to remain calm?
But the kurare lizard was definitely a threat. The White Tiger Tower students forgot why their friends were here and decided to deal with the monster for now.
“Blink!”
Along with the lightning, lightning magic exploded among the White Tiger Tower students.
However, the Kurare lizard was not hit. It wasn’t because he was agile, but Lee Han’s aim was off from the beginning.
“Lee Han?!”
“Wardanaz!! “Did you get poisoned!?”
Dergyu and the other White Tiger Tower students looked back in horror.
Lee Han can’t hit the magic target.
I couldn’t believe it.
Unless you’ve been poisoned…
“…You could go astray, you bastards. “I told you to concentrate!”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
As long as Lee Han is human, he also makes mistakes.
…Of course, I didn’t usually do it, but when I stayed up all night like today to make a makeshift artifact and climbed the mountain, lack of concentration was inevitable.
‘shit. ‘I never thought I would experience it physically like this.’
The professors kept saying, ‘Not only the wizard’s magic power, but also the wizard’s will is important in magic,’ and I was feeling that right now.
Since you lack concentration, you will inevitably become distracted when weaving magic.
‘With magic other than lightning magic…’
“Bone, seize the enemy!”
Lee Han threw a piece of bone and summoned a restraining ball.
The first spell missed and caught the tail of the Kurare lizard, but it didn’t matter.
“Bone, seize the enemy. Bones, seize the enemy. Bones, seize the enemy. wake up Warriors! Bones. “Shoot!”
The White Tiger Tower students, who had wondered ‘Is this black magic?’ when they first summoned the bone binding sphere, were astonished by the crazy spell firing.
Bone fragments were being shot out randomly, as if they could just be used as a weapon if proper aiming was difficult.
“Durgyu!”
“I brought him out!”
As the barrage of bone fragments flew in like a rainstorm, the Kurare lizard also stepped back, perhaps overcome by the force.
Dergyu took advantage of the opportunity to carry his fallen friend on his back.
thud! Wow!
“!”
Lee Han turned his head when he heard a sound behind him.
Two more lizards were coming out of the entrance to the cave we exited earlier. One of them had a pot on his head, as if there was some kind of chaos inside.
“My decoction!!!!”
Bartrek screamed. Gatono realized it too late and shouted along.
“no! “My book!”
“Are you crazy!”
Dergyu grabbed Gatono’s shoulder and screamed loudly.
“It was wrong to be ridiculously greedy in the first place! Defeating a giant? It’s a knight’s duty to pursue honor, but if you pursue it to the point of excessive greed, is that honor? Look at what you guys are doing! “I don’t know what that book is, but you’d be lucky if you let the monsters take it!”
At Dergyu’s heartfelt cry, the White Tiger Tower students blushed with shame.
Lee Han also blushed slightly.
‘I took the book…’
“Choi. Discipline is good, but do it later. “Start retreating!”
Giselle shouted sharply.
Another kurare lizard appeared from a different direction.
Looking at the current situation, I wouldn’t be surprised if it increased further.
“…sorry. Durgyu! Let’s retreat! “Friends!”
“I was wrong! “We’ll all get out together!”
“Good thinking, everyone!”
While the White Tiger Tower students were passionately deciding, Lee Han endured the awkwardness and shouted.
“okay! “Let’s all get out together!”
“Wardanaz…!”
When one student tried to hug him, Lee Han pushed him away with his hand.
* * *
Retreating while surrounded by monsters was more difficult than expected.
You have to keep threatening and retreat, but if you give them even the slightest chance, they’ll catch you right away.
“Gonadaltes. Keep it in check. Sharkan. “Stop the one on the left!”
“what?! who?!”
“I told you to concentrate!”
Perfect!
Lee Han hit one of the White Tiger Tower students on the back of the head with a cane.
Now was not the time to turn a blind eye.
“Bone, shoot!”
Lee Han usefully used the skeleton warrior as ammunition.
Although they could not move, the summoned skeleton warriors were a collection of bones.
In Lee Han’s situation, where it was difficult to control or aim complexly due to fatigue, this quantity of weapons that allowed him to attack and fire wildly was very useful.
Clap!
-■■■!
As another attack was blocked by the floating shield, the lizard let out a threatening sound.
He seemed quite annoyed.
‘I’m so glad I brought the shield up!’
Lee Han was not thankful for the professors’ foresight, but was thankful for his luck.
If it weren’t for the floating shield, several more White Tiger Tower students would have fallen.
“Wardanaz.”
“?”
“If you send the guys in front to the other side, the lizards will also be divided. Wouldn’t it be better to get back quickly and get help?”
Giselle whispered in a low voice.
In Giselle’s opinion, the current situation was not very good.
Wardanaz’s condition was strangely bad, and the monsters were chasing him without giving up.
Then I had to make a choice.
If they were divided here, it was clear that the Kurare lizard would go after the other White Tiger Tower students instead of going after Giselle or Wardanaz.
Because it was an easier opponent no matter who looked at it.
It didn’t matter if they criticized me for being heartless. Giselle decided that it would be better to quickly return and call for support.
‘for a moment. If it were Wardanaz, he might refuse for the sake of respect…’
Lee Han answered immediately.
“That’s a very good idea. Then you convince Dergyu.”
“…Choi doesn’t listen to me. “You’d better speak up.”
“shit.”
Lee Han could not refute.
“Divided! Durgyu! Come this way! “The others go that way!”
“Split! Durgyu! Come this way! “Everyone else, go that way!”
The White Tiger Tower students immediately moved and looked at the shouts of the two charismatic students.
Durgyu also moved.
…Towards the White Tiger Tower students.
“Tsk! “Lizard children…!”
“Durgyu! “Come!”
“I can’t break the formation!”
Dergyu, who was maintaining his formation with his friends, missed the full timing and moved along.
Lee Han and Giselle sighed.
“Let’s get it later.”
“That bastard. “Get it later.”
“…for a moment. “It looks like monsters are coming our way.”
