Episode 071
When I saw the students who came back the other day, I asked, ‘Wasn’t there a bull? A thunderous professor who asked questions like ‘Why isn’t there one?’
I didn’t know why that image suddenly flashed through my mind.
‘Let’s focus.’
Lee Han looked away.
The spirit bull in front of me was emitting a quite unique aura.
First, two types of horsepower.
It was clearly the energy of strengthening magic and potions.
Although it was difficult to explain theoretically, the strengthening magic cast externally and the magic power of the magic potion operating internally had different energies.
And an energy that is similar to magical power but has a different course.
‘Is it the power of spirits?’
Even though Lee Han didn’t know much about spirits, he could tell that the bull in front of him was mixed with spirits.
An ordinary bull wouldn’t have half of its body made of a moving block of ice.
Every time I stamped my hoof while glaring in this direction, thin ice formed on the floor.
“Lee Han. I’m glaring this way. Does it look like I’m going to rush at you? “What do you think?”
“I originally didn’t think much of it, but I think I might have been angry because I turned on the light.”
“……”
Dergyu and Giselle turned their heads and looked at Lee Han.
hey!
“what? It’s dark, but you don’t need to turn on the light. “A person who gets angry at someone for turning on a light is a strange person.”
“I don’t think it’s important to discuss whether the spirit bull is strange or not right now…”
“Ask if there’s a way to damage him, Choi.”
‘Are you done yet?’
When Giselle told Dergyu what she wanted to say to Lee Han, Durgyu sighed deeply.
“Ordinary physical attacks probably won’t be included in the spirit part. “It’s still impossible to enchant weapons…”
Among the monsters, there were quite a few that were impervious to ordinary attacks.
To deal with these guys, adventurers would carry enchanted weapons or learn how to infuse magic into the weapons.
“Is there anyone among these people who knows how to put even a little bit of magic into a weapon?”
Dergyu raised his hand in response to Lee Han’s question. Giselle also raised her hand. Lee Han, who asked the question, also raised his hand.
…Giselle looked at the two as if they were crazy.
Dergyu, even if that were the case, why does someone who doesn’t come from a knight’s family know how to contain magical power?
“I said this to Dergyu, and he responded as well. Anyway, if you can attack all three, isn’t that a good thing? “Let’s spread out and attack each other.”
In fact, it was quite fortunate that these three were together in one group.
Lee Han and Dergyu had the best swordsmanship skills among the students currently taking swordsmanship classes, and although Giselle was slightly weaker than the two, she had equally powerful swordsmanship skills.
Of course, our relationship was very bad.
“Ask who will stand in the middle. Choi.”
If you start approaching in a situation like now, there is a very high possibility that the spirit bull will dislike the guy in front.
Lee Han asked with respect for the captain.
“Would you mind telling me that of course the captain has to stand in the middle? Dergyu?”
Giselle responded with her middle finger. Dergyu sighed.
“Rock Paper Scissors?”
“Rock Paper Scissors.”
Lee Han in the middle. Giselle appeared on the right and Dergyu appeared on the left.
Durgyu thought it was his first time seeing Giselle smile so brightly.
* * *
Fortunately, the spirit bull did not attack first even if the fire was turned on.
The three students’ strategy was simple.
Each person spreads out in three directions and approaches the spirit bull until it reacts.
When it starts to react, the targeted student concentrates on dodging, and the other two students deal damage.
‘The problem is avoidance.’
Originally, in this type of hunting, the person who drove and avoided was important, but the person who stabbed was relatively comfortable.
Lee Han felt sorry for his inability to avoid the middle.
-■!
The spirit bull, which had only been tapping its hooves until a moment ago, blew out its icy breath and made a bloody sound.
To anyone who saw it, it looked like a warning to ‘get out of here quietly.’
Instead of approaching any further, Lee Han used magic.
“Spring up, move!”
A bead of water sprang into the air and flew towards the spirit bull. The spirit bull, which had been standing still, was startled and moved its body. A fiery ball of water exploded on the floor.
Knock, knock!
“Great… wait.”
Durgyu, who was amazed by the magical skills that left him amazed even when he saw it again, felt something was strange.
The direction in which Lee Han was throwing the water beads was somehow strange.
It’s like shooting from top to bottom, and the result is like driving a spirit bull to the right…?
‘You damn bastard really.’
Giselle pulled out her dual swords.
Durgyu noticed, but there was no way Giselle could not notice.
From the beginning, Giselle also tried to rush towards Lee Han when the spirit bull came towards her.
Pot!

Giselle ran diagonally backwards to the left.
It was to turn the attention of the spirit bull that was focused on him back to Lee Han.
Although they were instantly cornered, it was clear who was more threatening to the spirit bull.
He came up with a plan, but in the end, he was digging his own grave.
-■■!
The stimulated spirit bull completely changed its angle and started running towards Lee Han and Giselle.
“I hide at night!”
“…?!”
Lee Han’s new model has disappeared. Giselle didn’t even have time to swear. He had to draw his dual swords and unfold his Zaun sword to deal with the spirit bull.
He waved the sword in his right hand to attract the gaze of the spirit bull, and aimed precisely at the bull’s chin with the sword in his left hand. Giselle passed sideways like a seasoned bullfighter and inflicted damage on the spirit bull.
‘Tch.’
Giselle clicked her tongue at the sensation she felt at her fingertips. She may have attacked the spirit part, but the bull seemed to have no damage at all.
There was thin ice on the sword he was holding, but the part where the spirit bull was attacked was restored in an instant.
Squeak!
With a harsh sound, the spirit bull turned. He was incredibly flexible and agile for his huge size.
Giselle bobbed her head and waved her sword as if to ask him to come back.
Boom!!!!
At that moment, the spirit bull flew to the side as if it had been hit by something.
Lee Han released the invisibility spell and revealed himself. The hard wooden sword he was holding in his hand was completely powdered.
“……”
“……”
* * *
Of course, it may sound like an excuse, but there was a reason why Lee Han turned his attention to Giselle.
In order for Lee Han to attack properly, someone had to attract the attention of the spirit bull.
Even if I told Giselle, she wouldn’t believe me…
It was heartbreaking, but I had no choice but to show it with the results.
“Is it okay if I do this?!”
“are you okay! “Anyway, if it’s not for this class, we don’t have anything else to do in the same group!”
Lee Han answered cheerfully and ran after the bull in a state of invisibility.
“Feet, touch the ground!”
Lee Han’s mutterings turned into a spell and spread throughout his body.
My vision, which was already clear due to concentration, became even clearer, and I could clearly see the movement of the spirit bull.
Wooooow!
Lee Han said it had been a while since he last broke the sword and poured magical energy into it mercilessly.
Thanks to the spirit bull’s attention on Giselle, I was able to gain time.
Lee Han swung the sword at the spirit bull before it shattered. Of course, the sword shattered with the attack.
Boom!!!!
Still, the effect was clear. The spirit bull flew to the side. Lee Han waved his shock-numbed hand and shouted before the spirit bull got up.
“Now! Let’s go outside!”
“Yeah…yeah.”
Durgyu couldn’t bear to look at Giselle’s expression. He was so scared.
* * *
Angago, the goat beastman, looked at the exit with a worried expression.
Angago, who entered and exited group 3 first, was very worried about group 4.
“What if Wardanaz uses Durgyu again?”
“don’t worry. There is Moradi. “Moradi will take care of it.”
“I guess so? Because Moradi is there.”
Even though everyone said that, they all looked worried.
It’s like putting a wolf and a sheep in the same place!
As such, the students couldn’t help but sigh in relief when the three walked out from inside.
‘thank god!’
“You’re out, Durgyu!”
“Moradi, you worked hard!”
“……”
“……”
“???”
However, the friends who came out realized that the atmosphere in Group 4 was a bit strange.
They say Wardanaz is a cold, expressionless guy by nature, but isn’t even Dergyu looking very awkward and not knowing where to put his body?
Moreover, Moradi…
I don’t know why, but I felt like they would kill me if I talked to them.
Angago was scared and stopped talking to him.
“ah. Angago.”
“Durgyu! “Did you dodge it well?”
“okay. Well avoided. How did you guys solve it?”
Dergyu asked curiously.
No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think other groups of students would have solved it in the same way.
“I grabbed the torch hanging in the corner, threw it, and ran away while he was hating me.”
“We summoned fire, threw it at him, and then ran to our deaths.”
“hey. You guys are smart. “We didn’t have the ability to do that, so we managed to find a way out by luring the bulls one by one.”
Students from each group told their heroic stories.
There was a group that solved the problem wisely by using their brains, and there was also a group that solved it by ignorantly using their bodies.
Every time he heard the story, Dergyu’s expression hardened.
‘Now that I think about it, you told me to go to the exit after fighting him, but you didn’t tell me to take him down, right?’
Professor Ingalldel didn’t say a single word about defeating him, but with Lee Han and Giselle talking about how to kill him, Durgyu was taken in by the atmosphere.
The groups that entered next also came out one after another. Some students came out in tears, their capes and clothes covered in ice.
“Everyone was great. I told them to go to the exit with me, but there was a group that even bothered to subdue them. “I didn’t originally send him in for that reason, but he was able to subdue him so well that all I can give him is praise.”
The students murmured at Professor Ingalldell’s words.
Some students tried to ask Giselle, ‘Giselle, did you do it?’, but Giselle seemed very upset, so they just backed away.
“How did it feel to face the monster?”
“It was stronger than I thought. “It also moved quickly.”
“I didn’t know that the attack itself wouldn’t happen.”
White Tiger Tower students expressed their thoughts as they came to mind. Professor Elf nodded and answered.
“Everyone would have done that.”
“……”
As Dergyu listened to the professor, he wondered where his group went wrong.
“I guess everyone feels different. But while escaping from the monster, you probably realized one thing. “There is nothing to be so afraid of.”
“you’re right!”
The White Tiger Tower students agreed.
Even if it was simply a matter of running away, meeting and dealing with monsters in person made me feel less afraid than I thought.
In order to get rid of fear, you must ultimately face it directly.
“Fighting against monsters is ultimately the same as swordsmanship. Stay calm, figure out who your opponent is, and figure out how to get away if you can’t win. “I am glad that you all learned a lesson today that words cannot teach.”
Dergyu agreed with the professor’s words.
Of course, Dergyu’s group just jumped out at him…
“really. This semester’s classes will be conducted according to the groups selected today. “It’s a lot better balanced than I thought.”
“……”
Dergyu listened while nodding his head and then froze. Then he looked at Lee Han and Giselle.
The expressions on both of their faces were similar to Dergyu’s. Lee Han asked Dergyu in a low voice.
“hmm. “Do you think it’s a good idea to apologize for what happened earlier?”
“…I think it would be better to just talk about it between me…”
