Episode 522
“Please put me in the vanguard! “I will bring victory!”
Angago shouted cheerfully.
Lee Han, who was suffering from muscle pain, looked at Angago as if he were crazy.
‘With what confidence can you say something like that?’
Listening to what they were saying, I realized that the opponents were hard-playing fanatics who only played hardball after eating, while the students here were wizards whose priority was magic.
I had no idea where that confidence came from.
“Ango. “How do you win in this situation?”
“Wardanaz. I have been playing hard without taking a single day off. “Sometimes we played more than ten rounds.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at Angago with disdain.
‘This kid somehow fell asleep while studying…’
No matter how you think about it, sports like hardball should have been banned by school rules.
If that were the case, the average score of White Tiger Tower students would rise by 20 points.
“professor! “Let me be at the forefront…”
“for a moment. Alpha. “Didn’t you fall from your horse during the last race?”
“yes? yes. Yes, but that was a mistake…”
“Then you are a candidate.”
“…Oh, no! professor! This is not it! “This isn’t it!!”
Angago protested vehemently, contrary to his usual lack of interest in academics, but the lightning-walking professor was cool-headed.
It was already at a disadvantage, but I couldn’t trust this guy who only talked about it.
All that was needed was skill.
“Wardanaz. Richmond. The others are important, but you two are especially important. Do you understand?”
“professor. “I haven’t recovered yet from the rock-throwing festival this week.”
“A stone throwing festival? ah. Saint Iactus Festival? for a moment. Why on earth were you there… That’s it. “Professor Verdus must have taken him with him.”
‘It’s not.’
Lee Han was about to say Professor Lagrinde, but stopped.
It was because I didn’t feel the need to point it out.
“Do you have severe muscle pain?”
“yes.”
“Hmm.”
Professor Lightning Walk rummaged through his luggage and took out a potion.
“This will be okay. Because it’s a potion that doesn’t fall within the regulations. Drink it.”
“Thank you… um. “Is this a recovery potion?”
Lee Han, who opened the lid and drank the potion, was puzzled.
The pain in my entire body quickly disappeared.
This was much more effective than the acceleration potion I received in the healing room.
“no. “It’s a potion that makes you unable to feel pain.”
“……”
While Lee Han was shocked, Professor Lightning Gathered together the students with good grades and gave them instructions.
“You lack team tactics and individual skills. Even the vehicles tend to be a bit pushed back.”
Nilia raised her hand and asked, as if she was dumbfounded.
“Can’t you at least change the vehicle?”
The other party brought ostriches, mountain goats, wolves, turtles, etc., but this one is just horses.
However, the lightning-walking professor slowly shook his head.
“Rather, it is more advantageous for you. Unusual mounts have their advantages, but they are more difficult to handle and more violent. In comparison, your words are loyal and honest. Especially if you guys took good care of me this year.”
The students had expressions full of pride without realizing it.
It reminded me of the time I spent going to and from the stables for a year and pouring my heart into the horses.
The sweat and time spent were never betrayed.
Gainando grumbled and removed the remaining straw from his head.
“How can a horse be so loyal and honest… he always bites my head when he sees it?”
Professor Lightning Walk ignored him and continued speaking.
“The only tactic you can employ is a war of attrition. “If we go too long, the other person’s stamina will drop first.”
Shiles, a Black Turtle Tower student, asked curiously.
Since horse-drawn carriage transportation was his family’s business, he knew the characteristics of various vehicles well.
“The opponents’ mounts don’t have much physical strength compared to horses, right?”
“ah. The horse you ride is specially raised by me, so it has much better endurance. “Don’t let the other person know.”
“……”
“……”
“ruler. Then, lower your defensive line, don’t let go of the reins as much as possible, and don’t cry when you get hit… Wardanaz. “Come here.”
“?”
Lee Han was puzzled when he was called aside by Professor Lightning Walk.
“Are you trying to give me another potion? “I know it’s a foul, but if there’s a way to avoid getting caught…”
“what? no. That’s a foul, isn’t it? “I have no intention of doing something like that.”
‘I don’t think it would be strange if you ordered it.’
“In fact, you are one of the reasons I expect victory in this friendly match.”
“yes?”
Lee Han paused.

In a situation where he couldn’t use magic or attack using magical power, there was a limit to what Lee Han could do.
No matter how good you are at horseback riding and swordsmanship, will you be able to overcome skilled martial arts players?
“What are you riding out there?”
“Phone league?”
“okay. And the phone league…”
“ah.”
Lee Han realized what the professor was aiming for.
‘aha!’
“Can I unlock the phone league’s transformation and wipe out all the other players’ vehicles?”
“…Are you dissatisfied with me forcing you out? “If you have any, please tell me now.”
* * *
After finishing his preparations, Professor Lightning Walk crossed his arms and looked at the stadium with a frown.
Bulfad, the captain from the city nobles standing next to him, said with a smile.
“Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”
“What are you saying?”
“What greater honor could there be than competing with the renowned Einrogard students? really. “I heard that the students from the Einrogard Gyeokgu Club achieved good results this time?”
“It means nothing unless you win…”
“What are you saying? “Isn’t the process important?”
“hmm.”
The lightning-walking professor frowned even more in anger.
In fact, the other person really did nothing wrong.
I was an innocent person who came to me because I received the offer and thought, ‘It’s a good offer,’ but…
Normally, if you act carelessly when you’re in a bad mood, I hate you more for no reason.
In addition, the absence of several starting players, including the captain, among the hard-ball club players made Professor Lightning Walk angry.
Of course, the opponent arranged it that way to be considerate of freshmen who have not yet had any experience in competitive soccer, but people tend to become very narrow-minded when their favorite sport is involved.
Due to the recent poor results achieved by Einrogard students, Professor Lightning Walk was very thirsty for victory.
“I hope that more people will feel the charm of Gyeok-gu in today’s friendly match and join Gyeok-gu clubs next year.”
“I’m going in!”
Angago shouted loudly from the stands. At those words, Bulphad nodded his head with a bright face.
“Someday, we can meet together and play hardball! By the way, Professor. Why is that student sitting? “It looks like you like playing hardball?”
“I broke my leg.”
“Well…”
He looks fine, but his leg is broken. Bulpad looked at Anrago with pity.
Meanwhile, students and players faced each other and greeted each other.
“Please take care of me.”
“It is an honor to play a friendly match with the students of Einrogard.”
Grandeur City players spoke with sincerity.
Lee Han suddenly became curious and asked a question.
“By the way, some of your seniors are part of the school’s hardball club. Have there been any friendly matches until now?”
“ah. Einroguard students usually do it with other magic schools, right?”
“That… no.”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
‘Then why do we…’
If students at other magic schools are busy, it would be okay to wait. Do we really need to bring someone with such high difficulty?
“okay…”
When Lee Han seemed to be interested, the excited opponent started talking enthusiastically about the charms of hardball.
“Einrogard Gyeokgu Club is a truly historic club. “The new imperial prize money record we set a long time ago has still not been broken.”
“A prize?”
“yes.”
“Is there a prize for hardball?”
“You know?”
Lee Han was surprised.
Shiles, who was next to him, was also surprised.
‘Why don’t you know that…?’
From the money paid by the audience to the prize money that various famous people put their names on.
It was a tough game where you could earn as much as you wanted if you could win.
And more than anything, I couldn’t understand why Wardanaz didn’t know about this.
“Students at magic schools use the prize money they receive for magic research.”
“ah. yes. “That’s right.”
Lee Han came to his senses after imagining going to the Gyeok-gu club and embezzling the prize money distributed to him for business expenses.
There won’t be any money coming out of the friendly matches now anyway.
‘Let’s focus.’
“Huh. Are you from the Richmond family?”
“oh. yes.”
The players also spoke to Shiles, who was next to them.
The good-natured players’ eyes turned sharp and they started whispering to each other.
“Check that student first…”
“You never know, so never let down your guard.”
“……”
* * *
Beep!
As soon as it started, dust rose up in the vast stadium.
Two players riding an ostrich and a wolf rushed at them, dribbling the ball with a pole.
Shiles, who was on the right, shouted urgently.
“Everyone stay in formation and don’t get pushed back… Kkekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!?”
The wolf immobilized Shiles’ horse, and the ostrich gave a quick kick.
Shiles was thrown out and rolled around.
The White Tiger Tower students who saw this shouted without even realizing it.
“Such advanced technology!”
“It’s the perfect <dropping a player>!”
‘What kind of name is this guy’s technology…’
“Everyone, hold on! I’m coming!”
Lee Han realized that the difference in skill between his friends and players was greater than he thought.
If things continued like this, rather than holding on, it seemed like they would break through and score a goal.
The only one who could take the time now was Lee Han, who was riding a griffon.
“Phone League. request.”
After hearing such affectionate words from his master for the first time in a long time, Vonrigg’s eyes burned red and a heavy breath came out of his mouth.
bang!
“careful! right!”
“Stop it!”
When Lee Han, who was on the left, moved sharply to the right, other players blocked the ball to protect him.
Lee Han gritted his teeth and prepared for a collision.
Even if direct attacks above the shoulder were not allowed, as we saw earlier, the situations varied from attacks using vehicles to attacks below the shoulder.
Since we couldn’t cut down the experienced players with a single sword, we had no choice but to rely on the mass of the phone league and break through.
-Kyaekkyakkyak!!!!
“?”
When the mountain goat blocking the path suddenly screamed and turned, the player on top was taken aback.
A colleague you’ve been working with all along reacts like this?
The wolf next to me was the same.
As Vonrig approached, he got scared and distanced himself.
As soon as a breakthrough was made, Lee Han ran. Professor Lightning Walk saw this and punched the air with his fist.
“yes!”
“Huh, how?!”
Bulpad exclaimed because he did not understand.
What on earth just happened?
‘It’s much more effective than I thought!’
The lightning-walking professor was secretly happy, trying hard to suppress a smile.
It was a performance that made me want to shout out a perfect score right now.
“That horse was originally a griffon.”
“yes? but…”
When the opponent was embarrassed and speechless, Professor Lightning Walk struck first.
“Of course, it may feel dangerous for a first-year student to handle a griffon. However, if you make certain preparations in advance, dealing with a griffon is not that dangerous.”
The lightning-walking professor told lies without even putting saliva on his lips.
In fact, looking at it objectively, no matter what preparations you make, dealing with a griffon is very, very dangerous.
“No… that’s not it.”
“?”
“We also trained in preparation for when we faced Gryphon as our match opponent. But why are you so scared…”
“…?!”
