Episode 248
“why? Do you have something to say to Wardanaz?”
“No… no.”
Salko shook his head.
Although I had definitely heard the name Ogonin, it seemed likely that it was a person with the same name.
That Ogonin would be teaching younger students at the Magic Tower by now.
Would a person like that waste his time teaching a first-year student?
“By the way, this person named Baldororn…”
“ah. Waldororn. “I met him last time I went out, and he was really wise.”
Last time I went out, a Black Turtle Tower student who met Baldororn with Lee Han passed by and answered.
“indeed. “That’s amazing.”
When all my friends reacted this way, Salco had no choice but to believe it.
You really must be a great wizard!

The barrier created with illusion magic resembled a kind of lock.
If there were some locks that were weak and loose, there were those that were strong and strong, and if there were those that had a simple structure, there were those that had a complicated structure.
The barrier created by the outstanding illusion wizard was similar to a series of complicated and strong locks placed on top of one another.
In order for an intruder to break through this barrier, he had to be able to see through the structure of each lock and know how to unlock it.
Inevitably, this release is possible only when the attacking side is at a higher level than the defensive side.
Of course, Lee Han was not at a higher level than the wizards at magic schools like Gira Castle, but…
Boom!
‘You’re lucky.’
Lee Han had a method he learned from Waldororn.
How to destroy the lock itself by swinging a huge amount of magical power!
Of course, some barriers were prepared to prevent them from being destroyed by force, but quite a few barriers were weak in this regard.
From the common sense of wizards, it was a truly absurd method to lift the barrier so ignorantly.
Why would an archmage with such an amount of magic power lift the barrier in such an ignorant way?
All you have to do is see through the structure and release it!
It was natural to not guard against such a ignorant release. In some ways, that was a waste.
The barrier opened with the sound of the curtain being torn.
Luckily, there was a barrier that Lee Han could break through.
Lee Han thanked Waldororn once again.
…Of course, Baldororn didn’t so ignorantly tell you to disable it and move on!
‘Anyway, the stairs are quite long.’
A spiral staircase appears after lifting the barrier.
It seemed like it had gone up quite a bit, but there was no end in sight.
First of all, I think it’s okay since the road wasn’t blocked or there were any obstacles…
Rattling, rattling!
The door leading to the hallway, located at the end of the spiral staircase, caught my eye.
A fairly loud noise came out of the open door. It seemed like something was happening in the hallway.
‘Is this a magic experiment?’
Lee Han approached the door and scanned the hallway.
The sight of unfinished magic circles engraved here and there, and materials rolling around in a disorderly manner all over the hallway was very familiar.
Whether they are wizards or not, students struggling with numerous tasks are similar everywhere.
“Are you there?”
Lee Han shouted cautiously.
No matter what grade there was in the hallway, it seemed better to speak up first than to step in without saying anything.
Besides, the seniors won’t even be visible to Lee Han…
Uddangtangkwadangtang!
Before Lee Han finished speaking, material containers were falling over and wooden boxes were falling everywhere.
And a piece of paper rose into the air.
-How did you get here, junior?
* * *
First-year and fourth-year students at a magic school were essentially not very different.
Of course, fourth-year students were better at preparing meals, knew more about magic school, and could use more magic than first-year students, but…
Basically, there wasn’t much difference in that you had to do the assignment when the assignment came and prepare for the exam before the exam.
The same was true for Direth and Coholti, two of the rarest black magic majors among fourth-year students.
“Isn’t there something good about moving around during the relocation period?”
“okay. It’s like that in the first place. “If only some damned bastard hadn’t let a frost giant king loose in the hallway and wasted a week.”
“……”
Even though Coholty had ten mouths, he had nothing to say.
An accident occurred when a magic experiment with friends failed and another dimension overlapped in the upper hallway.
First graders must have had a happy and miraculous time with the white snow that came in the spring, but Coholty and his friends were busy trying to clean things up.
Since the aftermath of the overlapping dimensions did not disappear immediately when the Frost Giant King returned, we had to set up various magic circles around us to prepare, periodically check the situation and write a report…
And I had to do all of this while preparing for assignments and final exams.
Professors may be kind and gentle to first-year students, but they are like knives to fourth-year students.
They will never forgive you if you fail an assignment or fail an exam because of an experiment mistake they made.
“Well… that’s right. “I don’t know who it was, but it was really bad.”

“huh. okay. I don’t know who it is, but I hope they search. yes?”
“Uh, huh.”
“Shut up and complete the magic circle. “If you think about the remaining time, you still have to work even if it was Great Devil Week instead of Relocation Week.”
The task Direth and Coholti are currently working on is a magic circle that controls powerful otherworldly beings.
Beings summoned from another dimension tend to stab their owners in the back and try to escape control.
Low-level summons could be controlled in relatively simple ways, but as the summons became more powerful, their intelligence increased and their will also became stronger.
There was no simple way to control these beings. Highly difficult magic had to be mobilized.
The magic circle that the two were currently trying was one of those methods.
If completed properly, it would have the effect of weakening the power of the summoned being and breaking its will…
“Did you finish painting the wall?”
“it’s over.”
“Check it.”
Coholti rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a round bell. It was a bell that had a contract with a low-level devil.
Of course, it was not possible to summon a powerful summon to a magic circle that had not yet been confirmed, so we had to test it by summoning a weak monster first.
pop!
A demon came out along with the smoke.
The devil that jumped out seemed to be in pain at first, but after a while it started to notice and tried to run to the corner.
“To the east is the living gate. “I have to stop it.”
“I’ll stop it now!”
Coholti ran hard and blocked it.
Hoping that my friend would forget about the Frost Giant King.
“Did you stop it?”
“I blocked it.”
“Check it.”
Coholti summoned the devil again. The devil that popped out was a little distressed at first, as before, but as time went by, he quickly adapted and tried to escape.
“The north is open this time.”
“……”
Coholti sighed heavily.
This is what the high-ranking magic circle originally was.
When one place is completed, another place becomes a problem, and when that place is modified, another place that was fine causes problems…
“Let’s fix it again.”
“Yeah… billions.”
“?”
As Coholti flinched, Direth frowned.
Anyone could see that it was the reaction of someone who had experienced something.
“…what. “What’s going on?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
“It’s nothing. It’s nothing. “You clearly just said ‘billion’.”
“It’s nothing…”
“Do whatever you feel like. “If you hide it and get caught, I will curse you with the real Black Death.”
“…Actually, the intruder prevention barrier hung down there was broken…”
“Are you kidding me?!”
‘Black. ‘I should hide it.’
Coholti secretly regretted it.
I should have held out until the end instead of giving in to Direth’s placating…
“Are you saying that now? Why is it broken? “I told you to hang it properly, right?”
“No… really… I walked… properly…”
“Then why did it break?”
“…I guess I probably made a mistake…”
Coholti said, cringing.
A period of relocation of the main building where shortcuts that did not exist before appear.
During this period, older students had to pay more attention.
What if a new student comes in and gets hurt while an experiment is being conducted at the upper level?
-What did you learn after attending magic school for so many years? I can’t believe you let a junior get hurt at this magic school. How can it be that there are injuries in this honorable school?
– That makes sense… no. sorry.
Naturally, Dirette and Coholti also took measures to prevent lower grades from stepping onto the newly connected shortcut.
He also casts a barrier spell and says, ‘This path is protected by a barrier, so those without skills should go back!’ I also wrote the same phrase…
However, Coholti must have made a mistake when casting the barrier, and it suddenly broke.
“Hurry up and walk again!”
“Okay, I understand!”
Coholti tried to go down in a hurry.
But the guests arrived faster than that.
When a familiar first-year student, whom they had seen before, climbed up the shortcut stairs and came out through the door, Direth and Coholty were shocked.
* * *
“It says it’s a shortcut to the upper floor… isn’t it?”
-That’s true, but.
Lee Han had a familiar conversation with the invisible Delet.
It was not a surprising sight for a freshman at a magic school.
-Wardanaz. I was really thankful last time.
When a different font appeared, Lee Han was puzzled and then realized.
“ah. “Were you there last time when the Frost Giants were king?”
-that’s right. Hey. Thank you so much…
Delet couldn’t resist and hit Coholti’s back with his elbow.
“Very good. “You solved it with help from your juniors and now you’re bragging about it?”
“Ugh. Wow! Delet, right now, my junior is watching and the violence is…”
“I can’t see it anyway!”
Delet borrowed the power of magic to strike with his hand.
Lee Han tilted his head as his seniors disappeared while talking.
“Are you there?”
-I lost sight of the quill for a moment.
‘Something seems suspicious.’
Lee Han thought so, but he didn’t bother to ask further. Seniors also have their own circumstances.
-How did you get there? Wasn’t there a barrier?
“ah. “I tried to unlock it… but got lucky.”
“……”
“……”
Direth looked at Coholty as if he were bewildered. Coholty lowered her head, her face turning red.
‘I was discharged by a first year student…?’
If this rumor spread to other friends, it was clear that Coholty’s nickname would become “the one who was defeated by the iron head” or “the one below the iron head.”
‘That’s not important now.’
Delet decided to ask how he unlocked it later when he had the chance, and asked something important.
-Why on the upper floor?
“I’m looking for the Spire Stables I mentioned last time.”
Delet was speechless.
Of course, it was Delet who told me that, but I had no idea that the first-year student would really seriously try to build a path to the upper spire.
…are you really a first year student??
-…I can’t even say anything since I told you. The Spire Stables are close to here. Walk straight along the hallway, then turn to the side and go up the stairs.
“Are you serious?!”
Lee Han was overjoyed.
I never thought such luck would come to me thanks to relocation week.
‘okay. ‘I’ve been having bad luck, so it’s time to get lucky!’
Considering all the things I had experienced on weekdays and weekends, it wasn’t surprising that a shower of gold coins fell while I was walking.
There was just too much bad luck.
-for a moment. But I can’t pass here now. I’m doing an experiment.
Delet drew an arrow on a piece of paper.
At the end of a hallway with a complex magic circle drawn was a crystal prison.
And trapped inside was a large demon with a very angry temper.
-I can’t get rid of that until the experiment is over.
Delet briefly explained what the experiment was doing. Lee Han nodded and listened.
“Is it okay if I just defeat that devil?”
-yes.
“Can we, by any chance, pass through magic from the outside to the inside?”
-It works, but why?
“Blink!”
Lee Han struck a bolt of lightning at the nameless demon trapped inside the crystal.
The devil screamed in pain.
-Junior. I appreciate you trying to help, but demons don’t give in when you hit them.
“Is that so… I’m sorry.”
‘what?’
Unlike Delet, who was looking at Lee Han while talking, Coholti, who was next to him, could clearly see the devil trapped in the crystal prison.
Didn’t the devil just avoid his gaze?
