Episode 592
Lee Han, slightly hurt, looked around at his friends and asked.
“Are you sure… that you don’t really want to come into my labyrinth?”
“W-What are you talking about, Wardanaz!?”
“It’s not? “Do you want to go in?”
The students responded in surprise.
However, no one could make eye contact with Lee Han.
‘I don’t want to go in.’
‘I wish someone other than me would go in…!’
After working with Lee Han for a year, the first-year students had gained some understanding.
What is the most difficult dungeon in this fantasy magic final exam?
There was a 100% probability that it was a dungeon created by Wardanaz. Even students who did not listen to foresight magic could foresee this.
It would be better if it was at the highest level of difficulty, but if you could create something like the Wodanaz family’s arcane labyrinth that surpasses the first-year level and invite your friends…
“…I think you guys are misunderstanding something.”
Lee Han, who understood the inner thoughts of his friends through the subtle exchange of glances, quickly responded.
In times like this, I shouldn’t have gotten angry. I had to soothe my friends’ fears in a kind and generous way.
“I have no intention of making the labyrinth any more difficult than it needs to be.”
“under!”
“Fuhahaha!”
“……”
“S-sorry. “It just… came out instinctively.”
The friends who had just burst out laughing saw the look in Lee Han’s eyes and hastily apologized.
I had an ominous feeling that if I didn’t apologize, I might be the first to be dragged into Wodanaz’s special labyrinth.
“Friends! Why would I make the labyrinth more difficult than it needs to be? Think about it carefully. “I am a person just like you.”
Lee Han spoke in a soft tone that he did not usually use.
I draped an arm over the shoulders of the two friends who had just laughed, and they both nodded hurriedly.
When the persuasion seemed to work, Lee Han nailed it with a happy heart.
“Everyone, please tell me at least one reason why I should make the labyrinth more difficult than it needs to be.”
“It’s Wardanaz.”
“You’re just like that.”
“I’m taking classes at the school.”
“I heard you watched something else on your own during the precognition magic test.”
“Also the arithmetic test.”
“Also general magic tests.”
Immediately, Lee Han regretted the answers that came out from all directions.
‘shit. ‘Don’t ask about the last part.’
“Wardanaz…”
Professor Kirmin looked at Lee Han with pity.
It is said that a disciple should resemble his teacher, but isn’t there a need to resemble this aspect of Professor Boladi?
“ruler. Everyone calm down! “I will decide the order in which other students enter the labyrinth.”
“Wardanaz is the Blue Dragon Tower, so what if the students of the Blue Dragon Tower enter?”
“These bastards… Wardanaz is staying in the Phoenix Tower right now!”
“I keep exploring the school with the Black Turtle Tower students, and I think the Black Turtle Tower students are the best at exploring…”
“How about ordering the White Tiger Tower guys?”
The students who were discussing their opinions were puzzled by Ratford’s words and asked.
“huh? The reason is?”
“There’s nothing in particular? “I just wanted to send it away…”
“What a crazy guy!”
They were White Tiger Tower students who were furious at Ratford, who was trying to send them to the ant hell of death without even the slightest sincerity.
Professor Kirmin started organizing.
“I told you to calm down! “I will decide now.”
Each top student looked at the professor with nervous eyes.
Which cursed students will enter Wodanaz’s labyrinth?
“We will all visit the other student labyrinths together at least once. “Everyone understands, right?”
“……”
“……”
The students were silent as Professor Kirmin spoke.
The professor nodded, thinking that the students immediately understood.
However, after a while, the students grabbed each other by the collar and fought.
“It’s because of you! “You guys can do this by sacrificing yourself!”
“shut up! “If that’s the case, then you guys come in now!”
Professor Kirmin sighed and waved his wand.
The students who had been hit by illusion magic floundered and fell from one another.
Lee Han, who was watching this with cold eyes, thought to himself.
‘…I will do my best.’
I originally did my best, but I felt like I would do my best this time around.

“…Hey, shouldn’t someone stop Wodanaz?”

“So I told you not to provoke me…”
The White Tiger Tower students looked at Lee Han’s barn with fearful eyes.
The students currently taking the fantasy magic class were gathered around the professor’s workshop to transform their respective barns into a makeshift labyrinth.
Students who collect additional materials from the forest and bring them out, students who dig the ground around the barn and build foundations, students who insert artifacts and check whether they work properly…
And there were students who completely tore down the barn and built a new one.
“uh. okay. little bit more. no. Come this way. Okay, okay. Good job. Gonadaltes.”
Lee Han even summoned the skeleton warrior Gonadaltes and was concentrating on the work.
The existing barn had many limitations.
The structure was simple, and the only materials used were wood, stone, or straw, so if the magic was applied incorrectly, the barn could not withstand it and could collapse.
‘If you think about it, there was a lot to see and learn from the traps installed in the underground warehouse.’
This time, Lee Han learned a lot from his seniors in the black magic school.
Linked magic traps to prevent people from accessing the underground warehouse.
The trap was not complete simply because it was a combination of powerful magic.
It was of high perfection because it had a persistent malice that could not be found in other traps.
The malicious intent to stop the opponent at all costs!
‘The strength of the magic is not important. What’s important is how the magic is linked.’
Lee Han looked through the grimoire and wondered what kind of fantasy magic he could link.
Meanwhile, the framework of the newly worked barn was revealed. As befits the word “skeleton,” it was truly a barn made of bones.
“Space, twist!”
<Lesser Space Distortion> illusion magic that causes you to lose your sense of direction the moment you enter the entrance and makes the paths appear to be multiple.
Lee Han was pleased to see that the magic was cast cleanly thanks to the change in the framework.
‘It’s a good start.’
“Woah… Wardanaz.”
“?”
Several White Tiger Tower students were talking to me from behind. In his hand was a whole grilled chicken with seasoning.
“Eat this and do it.”
“???”
In this situation, White Tiger Tower students gift meat that they would never hand over?
There was only one answer.
“You were poisoned. “Cowards.”
“what are you saying! no!”
“How could you suspect something like that?”
White Tiger Tower students were furious that their sincerity was questioned.
The value of materials for each tower was slightly different. Beeswax was expensive in the Phoenix Tower, ink was expensive in the Blue Dragon Tower, and coffee powder and tea leaves were expensive in the Black Turtle Tower.
And meat was expensive at the White Tiger Pagoda.
I have grilled such precious meat!
“You guys really just grilled meat without any intention, just to give me a treat while I’m working?”
“…Well, that’s not it.”
“There’s nothing to say so harshly…”
The White Tiger Tower students were intimidated.
But I couldn’t give up after coming this far, so I lowered my voice and whispered.
“Wardanaz. I have some request.”
“I don’t know if you’ll listen, but just say it first.”
“…a safe way out of the labyrinth…”
“……”
Lee Han looked at the White Tiger Tower students with contempt, seeing them as the most pathetic people in the world.
“Go and make your own labyrinth well.”
“Oh, no…! This is a profit for one plump chicken! “There’s no harm!”
Lee Han kicked the butts of the White Tiger Tower students and kicked them out.
I can’t believe you’re pulling such a useless trick.
‘That’s why there are so many failing students at White Tiger Tower.’
It was understandable that Moradi was stressed.
They’re all like that…
“Wardanaz. Wodanaz.”
“Lee Han. “Please give us a safe path…”
“…Gonadaltes. “If anyone approaches the barn in the future, throw them a bone.”
“evil! This doesn’t happen! “I’m just saying let’s compromise with each other!”
Only after chasing away the disruptors was Lee Han able to concentrate on his work.
Cover the walls of the barn, create a hallway inside the hollow, and dig a trap to fall underneath…
‘hmm. ‘Should I put something on the wall?’
It was quite fun to do this too.
I think I understand why the black magic school seniors worked so hard to lay a trap!
“Mr. Wardanaz.”
“Ratford? “They can’t teach you a safe path.”
“Hehe. “What do you see me for?”
Ratford let out a confident laugh from outside the barn door.
In response, Lee Han once again remembered Ratford’s origins.
“ah. but. “This simple labyrinth is something you can solve with your eyes closed…”
“I won’t go in by pretending to be sick. “I’ve already prepared a trick potion.”
“…I’ll show you the safe way, so will you just come in?”
“yes? “I don’t like it.”
Lee Han became a little glum, opened the barn door, and went out.
“Then what brought you here?”
“ah. “I was planning to pick some gypsum mushrooms. Would you like to come with me?”
Among magics, there were some that required reagents each time they were cast.
Among black magic, bone element magic required bone meal, and you could find quite a few cases in other schools that required this reagent.
Cloud mushrooms are a necessary reagent to cast <Evening Twilight>, one of the fantasy magic spells.
“Are you trying to cast evening twilight? “It must be quite difficult, right?”
“The professor said it was worth a try, so I’m going to give it a try. But I think Wardanaz is already ready…”
Ratford scanned the exterior of the bone shed.
Unlike other barns, the exterior itself was gloomy and strange. It seemed like even a decent thief wouldn’t enter a place like that.
“no. It would be good to cast it until twilight. Come with me.”
“I think it’s really enough already, but…”
“no. “It’s still not enough.”
As soon as Lee Han finished speaking, one of the students who had tried to sneak into the barn ran out screaming.
Skeleton warriors swarmed in and threw bones.
“He’s scared.”
“……”
* * *
Digging the aster mushroom itself wasn’t that difficult.
The mountains of Einrogard were high enough to be nicknamed the Sky Mountains, but that was a story deep down, and there were many relatively low mountains near the main building.
And the people who knew the most about these mountains were the Black Turtle Tower students.
This was thanks to the fact that in my spare time, I checked various edible plants and set up traps to catch small animals.
Ratford had already figured out the location of the mushroom colony where the Aster Mushroom was located, and all that Lee Han had to do was follow it with ease.
“No, Wardanaz why on earth are you?”
“Wardanaz. “We use reagents because we don’t have enough strength, but you have enough!”
“That’s enough for now! Don’t suffer for no reason! “I have to prepare for other school exams too!”
…Except for the fact that every student they meet on the way to the colony says something like that.
The more Lee Han heard such sounds, the more determined he was to turn this simple labyrinth into a labyrinth of hell.
“Hey… look at Wardanazu’s eyes…”
“Who scratched Wardanaaz’s temper? who is this?”
“So, when I said it earlier, I said I should have volunteered. “You’re angry.”
The students whispered and wondered if they should offer a living sacrifice even now.
“It’s a monster!!!”
“?!”
Lee Han was startled by the sound coming from the front.
‘I let my guard down!’
You relax in the mountains of Einrogard, thinking about trapping your friends in a labyrinth forever.
It was a fatal mistake.
Besides, isn’t there a monster chasing Lee Han right now?
“Everyone this way!”
Lee Han quickly gathered his friends and formed a formation. The students asked with frightened faces.
“W-what is it? Wardanaz? “A monster?”
“It must be a vampire monster. Everyone calm down…”
bang!
The tree in front flew away and a huge beast flew through the air and landed.
The appearance of a familiar beast.
That was the mountain range destruction sheep.
“……”
