Episode 088
“Why are you telling me that now!”
Perkuntra was surprised when Lee Han, who had been polite until now no matter how much of a fight or violence the spirit showed, became angry.
Ah… no. You didn’t ask…
“You deal with students going to school and you don’t even know what is most important to them!”
One class isn’t that big of a problem…
Perkuntra made an excuse as if it was unfair.
As he had been here for a long time, Perkuntra knew roughly how wizards were taught.
Isn’t it like gathering together in a classroom and listening to professors talk about various things?
Missing such a story once or twice didn’t make much of a difference. In magic, consistent effort and flashing talent are important, not whether you take the class once or twice…
“I have to do my homework. “Non-submission is absolutely prohibited.”
At Ihan’s words, Yoner nodded with eyes burning with determination. His red hair swayed back and forth over him.
Most of the lectures at the magic school were without conscience, but among them, the <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> lecture was particularly without conscience.
-This is the design for creating a magic circle that I submitted to the empire when I was young. Please look at this design and calculate how much the total cost would have been.
A crazy professor who gave a crazy assignment to look at the design for making a thick magic circle and calculate by next week how much money it would have cost.
Ihan and Yoner stayed up all night gritting their teeth and swearing at the professor.
Once I finished the assignment, I could never fail to submit it.
If I do that, I’ll be so frustrated that I won’t be able to sleep for weeks!
…Are you doing this just because of an assignment??
When Perkuntra asked as if it was unfair, Ihan and Yoner turned their heads.
When the normally obedient young wizards glared at Perkuntra, saying he was scared when a good person got angry, Perkuntra was pricked.
Yeah, yeah. The task may be important. sorry.
“Please tell me the time.”
After hearing the time from Perkuntra, Lee Han looked nervously at the ceiling.
There is only about an hour and a half left until the <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> lecture begins in the morning.
“Let’s hurry. Mr. Perkuntra. Please show me the way outside.”
No… no.
The two young wizards glared with murderous intent.
Perkuntra hastily made an excuse.
I made a promise!
“What promise?”
I will stop the wizard who summoned me and the students who escape this punishment room! I can’t show you the way out. When they first left, they had planned to seal me here for a while and tell me to leave.
Lee Han was devastated.
Even Lee Han had no idea how complex and bizarre the structure of this school’s underground punishment room was.
Without Perkuntra’s help, there was no guarantee of getting out in time.
Because he was nervous, Lee Han failed to control his emotions.
“Oh, why are you so unhelpful! “Then why did you sign the contract!”
……
Perkuntra’s pride was slightly hurt.
Neither fights with dragons or demons nor a bloody battle with the Lich Headmaster could damage Perkuntra’s pride.
But the young contractor’s words hurt Perkuntra’s pride.
Perkuntra continued to make excuses without realizing it.
It’s a special situation in the punishment room right now, so if you go outside and summon me later, I’ll use my abilities…
“All right. So how do I seal it?”
…Just order me to stay here for a while.
Lee Han did as Perkuntra told him.
With that order, Perkuntra was unable to leave this forgotten punishment room for a while.
“let’s go. “Yoner.”
When you go outside, don’t forget to summon me! This is not the only ability I have!
“yes. yes. All right!”
Don’t forget! Don’t forget! Are you listening? Don’t forget…
* * *
Swish swish-
Although the situation was urgent, Ihan and Yoner tried to remain as calm as possible.
I drew a map while going up and down stairs and hallways.
“I’m stuck.”
“I’m going back. “The hallways here are completely blocked.”
“I think I’ll have to go down two floors and try again.”
Rattling!
A bone summoner came running from afar. Lee Han asked.
“Was there a road?”
Rattling rattling!
The bone summoner actively expressed his opinion. It meant there was no way. Lee Han clicked his tongue.
Ihan and Yoner, as well as bone summons, were mobilized to find a way, but progress was slow.
This punishment room was like an ant cave.
I couldn’t tell which of the stairs in the hallway led upward. Some stairs led to a dead-end, closed punishment room, some led to a downward spiral path, and some made you spin in place.
For some reason, Lee Han remembered the face of the skeleton principal as he walked.
Maybe it was just my mood, but I had a suspicion that the skeleton headmaster had made it himself.

“Go back to that hallway… No. for a moment. “What did you bring?”
Lee Han was embarrassed.
I didn’t notice because I was in a hurry, but the bone summon that only had front hands had grown significantly in size.
What did you bring with you…?!
Wow!
The bone summons bumped into each other, rolled around, and eventually came together.
Broad ribs and long tailbone. And even the bones of the hind legs.
Even though he was missing a skull and a foot, Lee Han was able to draw a familiar figure.
It was a leopard.
‘Was it a leopard’s bone??’
Until now, I thought it was definitely a human…
When I thought about it, no matter how unpopular the black magic professor was, he probably wouldn’t have given a human hand bone to a new student.
‘I’m ashamed of myself for thinking it was a human hand bone.’
The bone summoner, no, the leopard bone summoner tapped his foot confidently.
He seemed to have gained more confidence as he grew in size.
However, in a situation where he was missing a skull and an arm, such confidence seemed a bit bizarre.
“Did Professor Mortum hide the bones in the corner of the punishment room?”
“huh.”
Even as Lee Han nodded, he felt a sense of self-destruction.
Yoner was looking at Ihan with worried eyes.
The meaning of the eyes was simple.
-I have to continue learning black magic under that professor, is that okay?
“…It will be fine. maybe.”
Lee Han turned his attention to the leopard bone summoner.
Anyway, since it has gotten bigger, its speed must have gotten a bit faster.
“Go this way and check all the roads. Do you understand?”
“That is a futile effort.”
“!!”
Ihan and Yoner were startled and looked around. Then the voice came again.
“This way. this way.”
A banging sound was heard from inside the door.
Surprisingly, there was one student in the private room next to the hallway.
“You said you were going back and forth noisily. Why did you come into the punishment room if you didn’t know the way?”
“There is a long story. “Why are you in the punishment room?”
“This side also has a long story. “What grade are you in?”
“We’re new here.”
“……”
Silence suddenly returned in the room. Lee Han was puzzled.
what?
“Aren’t you the new student who was brought to the punishment room last time? “Escaped through an underground passage and was captured?”
“Then, is your senior the one who was caught robbing the principal’s secret warehouse…? “What did you do this time?”
Lee Han was surprised.
The motivation behind the punishment room at that time is here.
“Can’t you lower your voice? “What kind of pride is that?”
“What is there to be ashamed of? “I ended up here after robbing a professor’s warehouse.”
“……”
The student in the private room was speechless.
I didn’t know what I had done to end up here after robbing the professor’s warehouse, but it was truly beyond my imagination.
It’s just that the new student escaped through an underground passage last time, and this time he ended up in the punishment room after robbing the professor’s warehouse…
Next time, I might escape the school by flying.
Yoner whispered to Ihan.
“Who are you?”
“This is the senior who entered the room next to me last time. He is someone who likes to make people feel comfortable.”
“It’s not that I like to be treated comfortably… It’s okay. What can I say? “What are you doing in the hallway anyway?”
“I was looking for a way to escape.”
“…I’m not surprised anymore. okay. “Did you find the way?”
Lee Han couldn’t answer. The student in the private room grinned as if he knew that would happen.
“It won’t be easy. “The road up from here is usually not complicated.”
“senior. “I’m going to release you, so do you want to go out with me?”
At Lee Han’s suggestion, the students in the room burst into laughter.
“How stupid! I say that because I’ve never escaped from inside. Do you know what comes out when you open this door?”
“Lightning Spirit?”
“…What are you. how did you know??”
The student in the room was embarrassed and stuttered.
“I met you on the way up from below.”
“……”
The student in the private room became dizzy and stumbled. I couldn’t even imagine how on earth I got ostracized.
“You… what… no. done. “Anyway, I’m sorry, but I have no intention of escaping.”
“Why?”
“You’ll be released in six hours.”
“……”
This was a reason that Lee Han had no choice but to understand.
“Then can you give me some advice on the way out?”
Lee Han’s question was answered with a similar answer as last time.
The student in the private room spoke in a mocking voice.
“Why should I teach you that?”
“…It’s ruined.”
“??”
“Last time I tried to convince you to eat something, but this time there is nothing to eat.”
Lee Han looked at Yoner with a disappointed expression.
“You’re flirting! “What do you think of people?”
The student in the private room heard the conversation and became agitated.
It was a lesson from a senior for his juniors, but when he said it like that, it seems like he just got tired of it and passed on it.
Rattling rattling!
While they were talking, the leopard bone pet touched Lee Han. It meant giving the next command quickly.
“Wait…”
“for a moment.”
The student in the private room opened his mouth.
“Is that a bone summoner?”
“however.”
“…Are you learning dark magic under Professor Mortum?”
“however…?”
“……”
There was an awkward and heavy silence.
A moment later, a piece of paper was pushed out from under the door.
It was a simple map drawn on the spot that showed where to find the exit.
“…receive. cheer up.”
“……”
Although he received the map, Lee Han was not happy at all. For some reason, there was a glimmer of an ominous future.
* * *
‘late!’
Lee Han gritted his teeth.
In the distance in the hallway, the professor was coming out of the classroom.
Even though I ran like that, I was late.
He wasn’t a professor who checked attendance, but considering his strict personality, if you went to him and said, “It’s late, professor, but I did the assignment,” there was a high possibility that he would respond something like, “How can a student who has no sense of time submit the assignment?” .
Yoner let out a heavy breath with an expression filled with despair. He was out of breath from running all the way here.
“Lee Han… no. no. no.”
Yoner, who was about to call Ihan, urgently grabbed Ihan’s arm.
Lee Han had taken out his cane and was aiming at the professor’s back.
“That’s not allowed!”
“what?”
“It’s dangerous to attack the professor!”
“I’m not trying to attack you. “That’s what they’re aiming for.”
Lee Han pointed with his finger at the pile of assignments floating next to the professor.
It was a pile of assignments collected from students during this lecture.
“I’m going to put it in there.”
“…Is that possible?”
“huh.”
Lee Han spoke firmly and raised his cane.
The many hardships Professor Boladi had endured so far might have been for this moment.
Suffering makes a wizard grow.
At this moment, Lee Han has completely accepted the magic school’s teachings.
