Episode 272
Fortunately, it did not lead to a fire. Thanks to Lee Han taking one step ahead, the students had time to close the window and quickly put out the fire.
“My… my assignment…”
“When I get back to the mansion, I’ll throw away all the Phoenix storybooks!”
The distraught students took a deep breath and glanced out the window.
The phoenix looked in this direction as if something was wrong and flapped its wings.
Crack!
“Why are you doing that? “Why are you doing that!”
“Aren’t you asking me to open the window? “You’re pointing at the window!”
“Well, in the fairy tale, didn’t the wizard who answered the phoenix’s request receive a large reward?”
“Never open it!”
The friends growled and shouted at Gainando’s words.
Even if you were fooled twice, if you were fooled three times, you were not qualified to be a wizard.
■■■■■■…
Suddenly the phoenix started chirping. It was a cry that was more like a song than a chirping sound.
The song of the phoenix also calmed down the anger of the student whose assignment had just been burned.
“…Wouldn’t it be okay if I opened it?”
Sigh!
“evil!”
“Come to your senses.”
Lee Han hit his friend’s solar plexus with a cane.
When I looked around, to my surprise, all the students’ faces showed that their anger had subsided.
‘what? ‘Does it have a mind-interfering effect?’
No matter how beautiful the song was, it could not appease the anger caused by the burnt project. There was clearly some magical power.
Among the monsters, there were monsters that possessed people’s minds with their sounds.
If the song of the Phoenix has such power…
“Cover your ears.”
Lee Han put cotton into his friends’ ears by hand. Then the student who had just calmed down his anger exploded again.
“That birdie is playing with me?!”
‘The song was the cause.’
The students covered their ears and waited. When the song ended, Lee Han opened his mouth again.
“It’s over.”
“Wardanaz! “Give me instructions!”
The student holding the burnt assignment spoke with blazing eyes.
“Instructions?”
“okay!”
“I will do anything!”
Lee Han also responded solemnly to his friends’ passionate shouts.
“Then… let’s sit down and study again.”
“……”
“…uh?”
“What are you ‘huh’? “Sit down and study again.”
“Oh, no. “Weren’t you going to catch the phoenix?”
“How do I catch the Phoenix?”
Lee Han’s question left his friends speechless.
what?
‘I know?’
‘Of course, now that I think about it…’
I unconsciously thought that Wardanaz would catch it, but when I thought about it, the Phoenix was not a monster that first-year students could catch.
“Why did I think Wodanaz would catch it?”
“Me too, me too.”
“I guess it’s because I don’t want to study. “Sit down quickly.”
The students who were putting on their coats hung them up again with sullen expressions. The princess secretly put back the fire resistance potion she had taken out of her box.
“But it’s brighter so it’s better to concentrate. “Isn’t that right?”
‘He’s my friend, but he seems crazy sometimes.’
Gainando thought so and grabbed the quill.
* * *
Contrary to the expectations of some of his friends (actually, there were more of them), Lee Han had no intention of catching the Phoenix.
In fact, even if I tried to catch the phoenix, I had no idea how to catch it.
How can a first-year student catch a phantom beast with eternal life that resurrects no matter what attack it receives?
However, when a phoenix blocked my way to the morning lecture, I seriously wondered if I should catch it.
■■■… ■■■…
The phoenix circled in front of the students while chirping.
It looked funny, as if I was playing a prank, but I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the fire crackling underneath every time I spun around.
“Hey, this is a revelation from heaven telling me not to listen to the lecture!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Everyone scatter! “Get his attention!”
Professors never understand tardiness.
The professors did not take into account the fact that the world had been destroyed on the way, but there was no way they would understand with just a phoenix.

“Freeze!”
“for a moment. Wardanaz. “The ice magic now is because of the Phoenix…”
Damn it!
“…It can be said to be a very effective choice.”
“You just said you wouldn’t use ice magic because of the Phoenix, right?”
“My, when I.”
The Blue Dragon Tower student, who saw a piece of ice forming in the air, changed his mind.
Yoner whispered in an urgent voice.
“Lee Han. “If you provoke it for no reason, you could end up in danger.”
Yoner, who was relatively realistic, had no intention of capturing the Phoenix.
Now, I’m thinking of doing something like that only with friends who put sawdust in their heads instead of brains…
“That is definitely true. Wardanaz. Even if you try, let’s set up bait just in case. “Another bait for the Phoenix to chase.”
Gainando shook his head as if he thought Asan’s words were plausible. And then he asked:
“How do you set up the bait?”
“Yeah…”
“?”
Lee Han stopped the conversation before the two started fighting.
“I’m not trying to attack you. “It’s trying to attract attention.”
Along with the words, pieces of ice began to hover in the air. The phoenix, which was blocking the students’ path and complaining as if asking them to play, showed interest in the ice sculpture and chased after it.
“run!”
The ice cubes did not last long and melted. Lee Han then flew a piece of ice to catch the Phoenix’s attention and ran.
Gainando shouted while panting.
“Why do I have to go to this lengths to study!?”
The Blue Dragon Tower students who were running together nodded without realizing it.

“Everyone worked hard during the semester. “If you learned magic from various schools this semester, you will learn basic, practical magic that does not belong to any school next semester.”
Instead of cramming knowledge into the students’ heads until the last lecture of the semester, Professor Garcia took the time to ask questions from the students.
If you are blocked in basic elemental magic, use basic elemental magic. If you are blocked in basic fantasy magic, use basic fantasy magic. If you are blocked in geometry and arithmetic, use geometry and arithmetic…
He was truly a true educator.
“professor.”
“ask.”
“There is a phoenix outside the classroom. How do I get it out?”
“I couldn’t sleep last night because of the phoenix!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students were not the only victims.
The other top students also had bloodshot eyes due to the Phoenix’s antics that started in earnest last night.
Even when I try to sleep, it wakes me up with a light as bright as day, and when I go to class, it shows up and asks me to play with it…
Cases of clever bullying like Lee Han’s were rather rare, and the White Tiger Tower students had to show up 30 minutes late because of the Phoenix.
Priest Nigisor was puzzled.
“Why are other classmates doing that? “The night has become as bright as the day and the cold has disappeared, and we should be grateful to the Phoenix…”
“Shh. be quiet.”
“Shut your mouth.”
The quick-witted priests silenced Priest Nigisor.
Just because everyone had been in the temple all their lives didn’t mean they didn’t notice.
“Well… what should everyone do? “Exterminating the Phoenix would be impossible at your level.”
Professor Garcia said with a face full of regret.
“Even if there is Wodanaz? Is it too much to use Wardanaz?”
The Blue Dragon Tower students looked at Angago’s question as if they were dumbfounded.
Is Wodanaz your sword?
“It’s too much even for a student like this, of course…”
‘thank you. professor.’
Lee Han was filled with gratitude at the sight of Professor Garcia responding in an absurd voice.
Other professors need to learn something like that.
“Basically, the Phoenix is not a violent monster, but it is not an easy monster to defeat either. “Most attacks don’t work.”
Professor Garcia swung his staff and launched a rock spear at the phoenix outside the window.
puck!
The rock spear pierced the phoenix with a dull sound, but the rock spear burned up in an instant and disappeared, and the phoenix continued to flap its wings as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that he seemed so unharmed even though he was pierced by a spear, it seemed like he didn’t feel any pain.
“Did you see it?”
“Well… then do we have to live like this for the rest of our lives?”
“Pyeong, not for life. It will disappear over time. Phantom beasts that appear from another dimension cannot stay in reality for long.”
“When?”
“What if my magic power runs out?”
“……”

In less than two days, the Phoenix caused first-year students to become neurotic.
They wake you up when you sleep, rush to ask you to play when you go outside to listen to a lecture, and burn the paper when you try to study in the sunlight…
A new rule was created within the tower.
-Forbidden word of this month-
Phoenix
festival
bird
chicken
fire
hot
warm
The phoenix was teaching students a clear lesson.
What kind of disaster can happen just because of the immature actions of wizards!
Who would have expected that people would come to visit us just to celebrate the festival in a small way?
“Is there really no way?”
“Phoenix… is impossible.”
Lee Han heated up a frying pan, added oil and butter, and threw in the mushrooms he dug up near the garden.
Mushrooms that absorb oil and butter tend to become crispy and moist.
However, despite this bribe, Professor Lightning Walk did not give the desired answer.
“It’s the weekend starting tomorrow, and if this continues on the weekend, next week’s exam will be a big problem. “Isn’t that what the principal summoned you?”
“It’s an interesting conspiracy theory, but if the principal wanted to sabotage your exams, he would have done it a cheaper way. Summoning a phoenix. “If it were done artificially, it would be incredibly expensive.”
Professor Lightning Walk said so and ate the mushroom. It occurred to me once again that the most genius talent of the student in front of me was not magic, but cooking.
“But aren’t you sure you have the knack of avoiding the Phoenix?”
“That’s true, but is there any other purpose in life where you can use the phoenix avoidance tips?”
“It won’t happen if you go out, but it might happen once or twice more at the magic school.”
“……”
“It’s a joke.”
As Lee Han looked at him with a straight face, Professor Lightning Walk spoke soothingly.
“It’s not that I don’t tell you on purpose, it’s because there really is no proper way. The phoenix is a type of ancestor similar to a natural disaster. If you ask me to teach you how to prevent drought or flood, it is difficult to answer. “Even when Professor Bagregg asked, he couldn’t answer.”
“Indeed… yes?”
Lee Han, who was listening, raised his head.
They were taken aback when Professor Boladi suddenly appeared.
“What did Professor Bagrek ask you?”
“I heard you want to capture the Phoenix and use it for battle. “I guess that’s impossible.”
“……”
Lee Han sighed deeply.
He overcame the risk of almost dying without realizing it.
“I think so too.”
“Professor Bagrek also agreed. So, you were thinking of borrowing Cerberus…”
“…yes!??!”
Lee Han’s eyes shook with a sense of betrayal.
I tried cooking with poor quality mushrooms, but this betrayal?
“I told you that Cerberus is a rather large and rare creature, so it’s not suitable for combat.”
“…thank you. Would you like some beer?”
“It’s good? But why suddenly?”
Lee Han opened the secret floor door hidden by the thunderous professor and took out a barrel of alcohol.
“really. “Isn’t Professor Thunderwalking coming today?”
“Oh… he might be a little busy.”
“Is something wrong?”
“no. “They’re thinking about making the final exam difficult.”
“…Please wait a moment. “I’ll bring you some snacks.”
Lee Han also opened another secret floor door hidden by Professor Thunderwalk.
