Episode 554
“is not it? “Can I go?”
“I don’t think it’s a question you should worry about that much…”
I just asked without thinking about it, but I didn’t expect him to think about it so deeply.
Yoner was shaking and tried to help his frustrated friend up.
“Lee Han. wake up. “I know it’s painful, but I can’t keep doing this.”
“…All spirits are ungrateful bastards.”
The basilisk hissed in agreement.
“huh. Maybe so. Anyway, wake up. “There’s a squirrel spirit here too.”
The squirrel spirit made of ice and frost pulled Lee Han’s cheek as if he was confident.
Seeing this, Lee Han perked up slightly.
Still, there was one spirit remaining.
Tuk-tuk-
“Let’s make a contract?”
Nod-
“I’m sure there are many other good wizards.”
“no. “Lee Han.”
“that’s right. Wardanaz. “Don’t say that.”
Fearing that the squirrel might run away, the two friends hurriedly intervened.
If the other spirit wants to make a contract, whether out of sympathy or confusion, they can just make a contract. Why talk nonsense?
Fortunately, the squirrel spirit didn’t mind. He showed affection by rubbing his tail in front of Lee Han.
“look. Lee Han. “I heard that spirits don’t forget the favor of saving them?”
“…Maybe so.”
Illendil, who finished his work behind the scenes, walked towards where his juniors were.
And he was happy to see that the squirrel spirit and Lee Han were close.
I can’t believe the spirits are so friendly. It was impossible with ordinary sincerity and affection.
“here.”
Illendil took out a handful of squirrel spirits’ favorite ice pine nuts from his pocket and held them out.
Then, the squirrel spirit ran towards Illendil in an instant, rubbed its head against its palm, and began to munch on the pine nuts.
Lee Han, who had just taken out his wand to sign a contract, stared at his senior.
“Eat well. right?”
“Senior, why are you still here? “Don’t you have much to do?”
“Uh… are you angry…? why?”
* * *
When we got out of the forest, the surroundings were already dark. Only the moon and stars twinkle, illuminating the students’ path ahead…
“???”
Lee Han, who was petting the squirrel spirit who had completed the contract, noticed torches flickering in the distance and was puzzled.
In principle, students were not allowed to wander around at night like this.
Unless you are on duty or have something the professor tells you to do, you have to stay in the dormitory.
Of course, some students walked around at night regardless, but they did not walk around with torches like that.
It was the same as sending a signal to the Death Knights patrolling inside Einroguard to capture them.
‘What’s going on?’
“Wardanaz!! you bastard “I thought you were dead!”
“???”
Angago, who looked like he had been beaten up and down, hugged Lee Han.
Lee Han grabbed Angago’s face with one hand and pushed him away, asking.
“What happened? “Maybe the principal?”
“The pollutants sent by the principal are coming out of the forest and attacking the dormitory!”
“ah.”
“uh.”
“Hmm.”
Priests Ihan, Yoner, and Syanna hesitated.
This was because I knew that this matter had nothing to do with the skeleton principal.
“I really shouldn’t be able to sleep. “Everyone is out now and tracking them down.”
“Right.”
Lee Han finally understood why all his friends were there.
Not many students were able to sleep peacefully even as contaminants continued to enter the dormitory.
Moreover, if it was the skeleton principal’s doing, he couldn’t sleep even more. The cause had to be found and resolved as quickly as possible.
“Wardanaz. I’m glad you came. “Hurry up and lead the remaining kids to find the epicenter!”
“But Wodanaz, you’re not a white tiger tower…?”
Priest Siana tilted his head, but Anrago ignored him.
What does it matter now!
Lee Han yawned loudly and said.
“Is Moradina Salko looking for you in the forest right now?”
“uh!”
“Right. Tell them to find it and come back. Because the culprit has already been caught. “We should go and get some sleep.”
At Ihan’s words, Priest Yoner and Syanna nodded at the same time.
My whole body was tired because I had been walking around all day. It felt like she would collapse if she closed her eyes even now.

“uh? Wodanaz! Wodanaz! Come back! “Are you planning to abandon your duty as a knight?”
‘Crazy guy…’
I was so tired that I didn’t even think about retorting.
Lee Han and his friends waved once and slowly walked to the dormitory.
* * *
friday.
Lee Han, who finally had some free time, entered the secret base and fell into concentration.
The lounge and library weren’t bad places to study, but it was hard to concentrate because of the other friends.
– Wardanaz. Do you know about the miraculous thing that happened in the southern part of the empire? And do you know which denomination is the one that caused that miraculous thing? To give you a hint, it is neither the Church of Apha nor the Church of Agletakwa.
-Wardanaz. Why do you think people need to learn magic? I’m not doing this because I absolutely don’t want to study, but I suddenly have doubts…
Lee Han tended to shout to himself that he could do it even in poor environments, but he couldn’t ignore the efficiency of a quiet space.
After filling out the contents of these two books, <On Wardanaz’s Sub-Octane and its Basic Principles> and <On the Limits of Sub-Octane Magic and Its Development Direction>, I wrote a request for the design of a penknife fortress proposed by Professor Alpen, and this week Organizing the magic I learned…
‘Hmm.’
Lee Han wondered if he should also clean up the lightning spear he used when fighting the pollutant yesterday.
We definitely achieved our goal of fixing the form of the lightning element, but the problem is…
‘I don’t remember how I did it.’
However, I couldn’t go to Professor Boladi and say, ‘Professor, I tried to cast Lightning Spear, but I don’t remember.’
In that case, Professor Boladi will try to kill Lee Han, saying, ‘Your abilities grow when your life is in danger. I will help you.’
The safest way was for Lee Han to think of it first and complete it again before Professor Boladi kills him.
Actually, I thought about hiding it from Professor Boladi…
‘Professor Boladi is strangely quick at acquiring information.’
He didn’t seem like a person who had a good relationship with other professors like Professor Garcia, but strangely enough, whenever Lee Han learned magic from another school, he often knew about it.
It’s like sharing information in a professor’s lounge.
Junior. Junior.
“!”
As writing was engraved on the note communicating with Delet, Lee Han took a quill and approached the note.
-What’s going on?
I’ve heard some strange rumors. Can I ask you a question?
-yes. What are you curious about?
They say you are so loved by the forest spirits. Is that true? They say the forest spirits love you so much that they all returned to their own dimension at your request.
-??????
Lee Han almost dropped his quill for a moment.
-What do you mean?
I happened to hear your name, and they said you were close to a spirit. It’s a bit strange.
Basically, it was not easy for warlocks to become friendly with spirits.
As you mingle with the undead, their unique smell seeps into your soul.
It’s hard for warlocks to become friends with spirits, right?
-ah. Yes. Now that I think about it, you’re right. Is that why the spirits are avoiding me?
no. Now that I think about it, my junior, it’s more likely because of your magical power. Because spirits are sensitive.
“……”
Lee Han frowned at his senior’s words.
-Maybe it’s because of black magic…
That’s unlikely, right?
Lee Han felt like he would only be sad if he asked more, so he changed the topic.
-Probably because of Illendil senior. This time, there was a pollutant in the forest, and I helped with that.
Lee Han briefly explained what happened this time.
After hearing the explanation, Delet seriously wondered where to start asking again.
You were trying to artificially create a dark spirit? It won’t be easy. Among the spirits, the dark spirits are truly unstable and difficult.
-It really is like that. I don’t know why I didn’t ask for help from the outstanding seniors of the dark magic school.
Delet was silent for a moment.
Lee Han felt satisfied that his flattery had worked successfully.
It’s not that bad.
-I think so.
Yeah… Anyway, if it’s an Illendil matter, it’s natural not to ask for help. We don’t get along very well.
“?”
Lee Han paused because he didn’t understand.
Illendil didn’t seem like a particularly evil or violent person.
-What happened?
Illendil is a dryad mix, right? I like and cherish forests. When the kids from our school went into the forest to collect reagents, they were attacked by Illendil…
-ah.
Lee Han seemed to know what happened.
Illendil seemed like a laid-back and kind person, but it was true that swearing came out of his mouth the moment Forest got hurt.
-It’s a pity. Still, I’m proud that you heard about yesterday’s incident.
Regardless of the resentment of Illendil and his seniors from the dark magic school, Lee Han was secretly grateful.
It was clear that Illendil had spoken positively to the other seniors, just as he had aimed for.
Otherwise, Delet wouldn’t have heard the rumor.
proud?
-yes. Isn’t that good? Good reviews among seniors…
I’m not sure if you know this, but Illendil has a somewhat… eccentric image.
-Is that so? To what extent?
A little more than a school of black magic?
-……
Lee Han’s face turned pale.
So Illendil’s praise isn’t necessarily good for you, my junior… My friend who told me about it…
Direth looked worried and played with his quill.
In fact, the friend who told Direth the rumor also thought Lee Han was very strange.
-Dirette. If this is Lee Han of the Wardanaz family, isn’t he the junior you mentioned? That extraordinary?
-That’s right. why?
-You know Illendil, right? He praised Wardanaz, saying that he met a junior who was completely of the same type as him… He’s not a strange junior, right?
“……”
After hearing the explanation, Lee Han put his head down on the table in frustration.
‘shit. I thought he was a good person because he was respected within the alchemy school.’
-Senior Delet. Senior, please help me. I’m not a strange person…
Well, I’m sorry.
Delet apologized sincerely.
I’ll try my best to tell you, but since I’m a member of the dark magic school, it won’t be very effective…
“……”
Lee Han couldn’t say anything about the sad reason.
-no. senior. Thank you for your thoughts.
huh. Anyway, be careful. Especially when entering the forest. Illendil isn’t a bad kid, but he can become a bit violent when his work gets involved.
‘Whenever I enter the forest from now on, I will definitely have to cast an invisibility spell first.’
Ihan firmly resolved not to get involved with Illendil.
When I thought about it, I was instinctively reluctant to show my popularity to the spirits, and it was clear that I had sensed this problem.
After finishing the conversation and feeling lost for a moment, the mirror vibrated.
Lee Han approached the mirror.
I want to buy more information about the first year of the Wardanaz family that I mentioned last time.
“……”
While Lee Han was contemplating whether to just pretend not to see, the mirror in front of him continued to vibrate.
The information I gave you last time was useful. Let me be thankful.
But there is a new rumor I heard this time.
I heard that he is a weirdo who is close friends with Illendil of the alchemy school. Is that true?
-Absolutely not.
Lee Han wrote down the answer without realizing it.
