Episode 278
Bone fragments were fired without stopping, sweeping the surrounding area like buckshot, creating a mess.
The adventurers, who somehow managed to hold on until the magician ran out of magic, began to feel uncomfortable.
‘…Something is strange!!’
Pop!
Even if the body was covered with a shield, complete defense was impossible.
When an adventurer hit by a bone fragment stumbled and leaned out of the blind spot, Lee Han immediately threw a water bead at him.
Even though I was wearing solid armor, there was no point in wearing it.
The adventurer fell to the ground due to the heavy impact that hit the gap between the armor.
-If we continue like this, we will all collapse! Shouldn’t we move?
-Are you going to run out in front of the wizard who is currently casting a spell?!
The remaining adventurers desperately communicated while sending hand signals to each other.
I couldn’t believe what was going on right now.
When I looked out the window earlier, he definitely looked like a master from a noble family who was raised in honor…
‘What potion did you drink before coming?’
According to the original plan, the moment the wizard entered the basement, all the prepared traps would be linked and activated, and the adventurers would also take advantage of the opportunity to join in.
However, the opposing wizard had drunk so much magic power potion that he was continuously firing magic and destroying the basement.
I don’t know where the traps are, but by firing magic like that, some of the traps have already been destroyed.
Painful patience where one second feels like an hour.
At that moment, the basement suddenly became quiet.
‘Are we finished!?’
The adventurers felt their hearts beating faster as no more bone fragments flew in.
Whether all the bone fragments or magical power were used up, the wizard’s attack was clearly over…
Thump, thump, thump, thump-
This time, water beads flew in like crazy. It wasn’t an overwhelming amount like bone fragments, but it was a breathtaking enough number.
Moreover, unlike before, where they fired indiscriminately, they came in exactly at the blind spot where the adventurers were standing.
It was clear that the wizard had roughly figured out the adventurers’ location through the first attack.
“Kaaaaaa! “You crazy wizard!”
Eventually, one adventurer ran out screaming. The wooden shield he was holding was in tatters due to the merciless attacks from bone fragments and water beads.
‘fast!’
Kilvedek saw that his colleague’s speed was faster than expected, and for a moment he had hope that it might work.
Originally, there was a saying not to rush in front of a wizard casting magic, but the situation was a little different now.
The opposing wizard was preoccupied with shooting water beads all over the basement, and the adventurer’s physical abilities were greatly enhanced by the various potions he drank before the battle.
The speed at which it rushed like a gale was enough to catch the wizard off guard.
Hasn’t spell casting speed always been a wizard’s weak point?
“Blink!”
However, the wizard waved his wand as if he had been waiting and cast a spell.
Huge chunks of water floating in the air continued to change into water beads and flew in, and lightning shot out from between them and blew away the adventurer’s shield.
“…!”
The adventurer whose shield was blown away did not immediately realize his situation. The wizard’s reaction speed was that fast.
“what…”
“Flash, flash, flash!”
The adventurer’s physical abilities were strengthened with various potions. With his moving vision, he saw the tip of the cane and attempted an evasive move.
However, as if he had expected it, the wizard fired three blows almost simultaneously. No matter which direction he dodged, he was bound to get hit.
Let’s go!
As my body became paralyzed by electric shock, water beads rushed towards me like a pack of wolves.
The remaining adventurers were now more scared than when they faced the crazy wizards.
While the crazy wizard had simply walked in and subdued the adventurers by dismantling their traps one by one, the young monster on the stairs was now pushing them without giving them a chance to breathe.
“Hang… Surrender! “I surrender!”
puck!
Kilvedek was astonished when his colleague, who ran out with both hands up, was hit by a water bead and fell down.
I surrendered, but why!?
‘Are you saying you won’t accept something like surrender?!’
“ah. sorry. I didn’t know you were surrendering. Do you want to surrender?”
“…yes!! yes!!! “I surrender!”
“Just drop your weapon, put both hands up, and come out slowly.”
The young wizard’s voice was so kind that it gave me goosebumps.
Kilvedek cautiously stuck his head out. The wizard waited with an expressionless face and then asked.
“I guess you didn’t prepare any tricks or something?”
“I didn’t! “There is no such thing!”
“It’s even more suspicious since you strongly deny it… I understand. “Just come out slowly.”
The adventurer who was walking in front of Kilvedek noticed this and slightly lowered his hand and opened his mouth.
I was curious about how the situation was going now.
“Well, like that…”
puck!
“ah. this. sorry. “Reflexively…”
Seeing his colleague stretching out after being hit by a ball of water, Kilvedeq raised both hands even higher.
That wizard spoke kindly, but his actions were more frightening than that of a crazy wizard.

Lee Han could tell that Professor Boladi was very disappointed.
The good news was that I was not disappointed with Lee Han, but with the adventurers.
“I failed.”
“S-sorry. “Mr. Wizard.”
“I did my best, but…”
Professor Boladi was so disappointed that he didn’t say anything. He gave each adventurer a bag of silver coins as compensation and then pointed toward the front door.
The adventurers, who realized the meaning of the spirit of congratulations, began to hesitate and retreat.
I was afraid that if I turned around, the crazy wizard would fire an attack spell.
“I will guide you.”
On the other hand, Lee Han, who had taken his final exam the day before, was in a better mood.
Of course, the adventurers did not feel reassured that Lee Han was guiding them.
“Thank you… thank you. “Mr. Wizard.”
“You can speak comfortably. “I am a student who still has a lot to learn.”
Despite their words of humility, the adventurers never let down their guard.
“Well, that’s right. What grade are you in?”
“I’m a freshman.”
“……”
“……”
The adventurers said nothing. He just made an indescribable expression.
“Um…what on earth happened today?”
When we were halfway through our walk, one of the adventurers couldn’t help it anymore and asked.
The other adventurers looked at us like, ‘Do you have two lives?’ or ‘Why are you trying to kill us too?’, but the questions had already been asked.
“ah. “It was a final exam.”
“yes?”
“It’s a final exam. “Didn’t the professor explain it to you?”
“ah…”
The adventurers opened their mouths and repeatedly made the ‘Ah…’ sound at the same time.
And then he shouted with an expression that suddenly came to his senses.
“no! “You did it!”
“I remember!”
“Fortunately, the. I thought you didn’t do it. ruler. You can come here. Can you see the front door?”
Looking at Lee Han’s back as he went ahead, the adventurers thought the same thing at the same time, even though they had not promised each other.
If I can safely leave the main gate of Einrogard today, I will retire.
‘I guess I should settle down in a quiet, less crowded town.’
‘I have to go to a village where there are no wizards.’
Seriously, I didn’t want to deal with crazy people anymore.

‘It’s a good start.’
Lee Han crossed out <Repetitive Learning of Basic Magic Combat> with a happy face.
Repetitive learning of basic magic combat
Basic magic character education
Of course, there were still many lectures left, but the fact that the final exams started like this was in itself a good sign.
“Wardanaz. “We’re in big trouble!”
“?”
“I heard that there is no longer an extension for the <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> assignment! “Submit it today!”
“!!”
As Angago whispered loudly, Lee Han’s face hardened.
This was not a normal thing.
‘This is ridiculous!’
<Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic>.
Although it was a lecture where the pre-final exam assignment was to draw a blueprint and the final exam assignment was to produce the actual product…
…The problem was that the Phoenix opened the warehouse door and burned all the assignments inside.
I burned all my assignments, so how can I submit them on Tuesday as scheduled?
So the students all said, ‘There will be an extension of the period, right?’ I was thinking, ‘No matter what, there will be an extension for this period.’
‘I was complacent. This was Einrogard!’
Lee Han bitterly regretted his carelessness.
Of course, even if I had known, I would have barely had time to catch the Phoenix, but I couldn’t help but feel pain.
“Wardanaz. “There is a way.”
“What method?”
“Let’s join hands and protest against the professor! If you, the best student, join us… Hey! Wodanaz! “Let’s do it together!!”
Lee Han turned around without even pretending to listen.
That was bullshit with no possibility.
‘If you want to submit it, you must complete it before lunch. The method…’
Unlike other amateur students, Lee Han was a prepared professional student.
Amateurs give up when their assignments are not ready, but professionals use any method to submit.
Of course, the quality of the assignment couldn’t be guaranteed, but that wasn’t important right now.
Not much time left.
Lee Han was lost in thought as he looked at the long pole that would have originally been the frame of the magic lantern.
-Could it be… Are you trying to eliminate all design and solve the problem with magic alone?!
-…You’re talking nonsense. Joner. I haven’t painted it yet.
Suddenly, the conversation I had with Joner came to mind.
The method is to get rid of all the design and production, and then have Lee Han cast the spell and then shamelessly insist, ‘Wouldn’t it last for a long time anyway?’
When I talked to Yoner, I naturally dismissed it as nonsense, but…
‘…there is no time and no other way.’
Lee Han made up his mind.
Sometimes, shameless sophistry is more necessary than skill.
It goes on like this!

Professor Alpen had not yet arrived, but the atmosphere among the students gathered in the <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> classroom was chaotic.
“There is really no extension of time?”
“That’s right.”
“ruined…! “We are ruined!!”
“I’m still glad, aren’t I? “We all failed together.”
“Are you clueless?”
And then Professor Alpen came in. Professor Alpen was puzzled when he saw the students’ chaotic atmosphere.
“What’s going on?”
“professor! “It’s not our fault that the Phoenix burned down the warehouse!”
“Of course it’s our fault for not setting up a guard! “I will set up a guard from now on, so please give me one more chance…!”
“Please extend the period!”
“I understand. “That was my intention from the beginning.”
Professor Alpen answered calmly. The students all stopped.
uh?
“uh? “There was no extension of time… was there?”
“The Phoenix burned down the warehouse, so how can they not extend the period? Complete it by the end of this week. “We can give you two or three more days, so students who don’t have enough time should come and visit us.”
“……”
“…What kind of bastard spread this rumor?”
The students were relieved for now, but that didn’t mean it was over.
What kind of bastard tells nonsense??
thud!
And later, Lee Han came in holding a magic lantern. Lee Han lowered his head when he saw that Professor Alpen arrived first.
“hello. professor.”
“Nice to meet you. Wardanaz County.”
“I will submit the assignment.”
“Sleep…”
Angago was embarrassed and tried to stop Lee Han.
‘No, Wardanaz! Things have changed! ‘It was a rumor!’
However, Professor Alpen answered first.
“What is this? “It may be rude, but I don’t see any separate design.”
“yes. professor. I definitely wrote down the amplification magic circle and the corresponding materials in the blueprint. But when I thought about it, that was also an inefficient method.”
“Inefficient?”
“yes. I realized that I could guarantee a duration of more than 2 days with just my magic. “Then I thought that wasting materials was not in line with the purpose of this lecture.”
“So you put it out like this?”
Professor Alpen’s eyes sparkled sharply.
I couldn’t tell if it was a good sign or a bad sign, but Lee Han didn’t waver.
“yes.”
“You won’t regret it, right?”
‘?’
Lee Han felt something strange.
‘what? ‘Is there something I don’t know?’
But it had already happened. Lee Han answered while maintaining a confident expression.
“yes.”
“Honestly, I was impressed.”
Professor Alpen said with a grin.
“Guts and improvisation are also virtues of a wizard. If it lasts longer than 2 days as said, I will give it full marks. Come in and sit down. Oh, I’ve already submitted my final exam assignment, so I can leave the classroom. “Other students, start producing again.”
“…????”
Lee Han turned his head.
His friends were looking at Lee Han with eyes of admiration and admiration.
Except Angago.
“You come out for a moment.”
“I have to produce it. Wardanaaz.”
