Episode 174
The reason why Lee Han did not reveal that he was going into the underground dungeon in front of Professor Boladi was simple.
…Because it was impossible to predict what kind of reaction there would be.
Professor Boladi is the most difficult to predict among professors.
I had no choice but to be more careful.
“A picnic? “We came out to conquer the underground dungeon, right?”
However, the tactless White Tiger Tower student asked as if he did not understand.
Lee Han clenched his teeth and muttered.
“Be quite…”
“what? I can not hear well. Wardanaz. “What is the picnic and why do I have to go back?”
Lee Han regretted that he should have just knocked out the opponent quickly.
However, Professor Boladi had already climbed the stairs and stood in front of the students.
The White Tiger Tower student who had just spoken also noticed Professor Boladi’s appearance and corrected his posture.
“hello. professor.”
“What’s going on?”
Lee Han quickly took the answer.
“Let’s all have a picnic in the basement…”
“Wardanaz gathered students to attack the underground dungeon.”
‘Shall I kill you?’
Professor Boladi listened to the White Tiger Tower student’s words and looked around the hallway with an expressionless face.
The vampire professor caught the eye of the students who were fully prepared and were about to go down to the underground dungeon.
Lee Han could see a very faint smile on Professor Boladi’s lips.
All my anger towards the White Tiger Tower student disappeared and an icy fear rose up.
“Good job.”
“…It’s really not that big of a deal.”
Lee Han spoke, paying close attention to read what Professor Boladi was thinking.
“Continuous training is a prerequisite for improving skills, but there are only a few wizards who put it into practice. “Let’s move forward.”
“I’m going because of the materials needed for the midterm exam. professor.”
“There must have been other dungeons.”
“…I don’t think there will be enough time to find it…”
“I guess so.”
Professor Boladi nodded.
A good wizard can achieve several goals at the same time, even if he or she is only doing one thing.
When the necessary materials are available in the underground dungeon, a weak and lazy wizard enters an easy place, but a battle wizard who is ready to go to a difficult place deliberately trains himself.
Wardanaz was that kind of wizard.
“I just managed the dungeon.”
“……”
If it was a naturally occurring dungeon located in a remote place, no one cared whether monsters would pop out or something strange would happen inside, but that was not the case for dungeons located within a magic school.
If the monsters in the dungeon come out and start a riot, the professors’ defense will be destroyed.
People like Professor Boladi also periodically checked the dungeons and checked the conditions inside.
What is the flow of magical energy in the dungeon, what is the number of monsters, is there any sign of them running wild and jumping out, etc.
However, to Lee Han, Professor Boladi’s words seemed to have a slightly different meaning.
‘Wasn’t there such an uproar last time because you prepared something special for me?’
A chilling feeling of anxiety passes through my spine.
Unaware of Lee Han’s feelings, his friends expressed their gratitude.
“thank you. professor.”
“I’ll have a nice trip!”
“Contrary to the rumors, you are a very kind person.”
“After all, you can’t trust rumors.”
“……”
* * *
“Burn up.”
A flame the size of two fingers was created in the air.
The advantage of the fire element is that it has sufficient destructive power even with simple low-circle magic.
Agwi, who was hit by the flames summoned by the Phoenix Tower Priest, instantly slowed down.
“Burn up!”
“Burn!”
Even the simplest 1-circle magic, <Create Flame>, became more powerful when multiple students stacked it.
The monkfish burned in an instant and collapsed.
“That’s great.”
The priests nodded lightly at Lee Han’s praise.
The White Tiger Tower students following behind snorted.
“So many people used magic to catch only one fish, but it was amazing.”
“Isn’t it too wasteful? After all, fighting is done with a sword.”
The White Tiger Tower students spoke confidently as they prepared to cast strengthening magic on the wooden sword.
Lee Han, who still had a grudge against him for speaking out in front of Professor Boladi earlier, spoke coldly.
“Take out your sword. “Let’s see if you can block my magic.”
“…Whoa, Wardanaz. “Why are you so serious…”

“Wow, we were a little rude to the priests, weren’t we?”
The White Tiger Tower students were shocked when they saw Lee Han’s expression.
I had no idea that Wardanaz would give me such a serious look just because I bragged a few words.
‘Oops. What have I done?’
Lee Han immediately came to his senses.
You have to get along well with the students, right from the beginning…
“sorry. “I was harsh.”
“Oh, no. “We were also harsh with the priests.”
Asan wiped the underside of his nose with a proud expression.
A person who steps up for the honor of others is a truly honorable person.
He was proud that such a person was his friend.
“I’m proud of you. Wodanaz.”
“??”
Lee Han looked at Asan as if he were a strange person.
“for a moment. “Go back this way, not that way.”
“A ghost has appeared. “Take care of it at the White Tiger Tower.”
“Be careful about that wall. “This is a section where monkfish are well hidden.”
“Be careful of the floor. “The mud is deep.”
Lee Han, who refocused, gave instructions in succession.
Even the students who followed without thinking at first began to feel strange.
‘…uh?’
‘Why do you know so well?’
Of course, since the person who found this dungeon was Wardanaz, it was not strange to know the beginning well.
However, even though he went quite deep, Wardanaz had complete knowledge of the dungeon.
As if it had gone back and forth several times.
“Wardanaz, that guy knows this dungeon strangely well.”
“The professor earlier was the professor of <Repetitive Learning of Basic Magic Combat>, right? “I heard that lecture is a bit strange. Wasn’t it taught here?”
“Stop telling ridiculous jokes. “What kind of crazy lectures are going to be held in a dungeon like this?”
Nilia closed her eyes while listening to the White Tiger Tower students talking.
Wardanaz was usually a person who did not seek sympathy from others, but this time I felt truly sorry for him.
How did I hear a lecture like that…
At the end of the narrow passage, a plaza appeared that was wide enough for all the students who were walking in a single line to gather in one place.
Lee Han said seriously.
“ruler. “Be really careful from here on out.”
“Wardanaz. “You can stop worrying about it.”
The confidence of the White Tiger Tower students, who successfully dealt with the anglers that appeared on the way down, had increased significantly.
In fact, not only the White Tiger Tower students, but also other tower students looked somewhat relaxed.
It was natural that I came down easily compared to how nervous I was at first.
“From here, Nachal Agui appears.”
“……”
“……”
“…Do not lie.”
“It’s not a lie. From now on, Raksha-ga-gwi will appear, so I will move to avoid its territory.”
The structure of Professor Boladi’s underground dungeon, which Lee Han was forced to learn, was as follows.
First, there are narrow passages leading down to the basement connected to the entrance.
Here, the anglerfish came out from hiding and surprised the wizards.
As we went down like that, we came across landforms in the shape of a large square.
In fact, there were almost no anglerfish in such a large area. Unless some madman purposely collects monsters.
And if you go further down from here, you will reach the area where Nachalakwi appears.
The terrain became much wider due to the size of the Nachchalakwi, but it also became more complex.
A vast rocky valley dotted with naturally formed caves.
If this wasn’t an underground dungeon, Lee Han would have thought that way.
“There are caves here and there on the way down. In some of these caves, there are Nachal anglers. The Nachal Angler is a monster with a large appetite, so it sleeps in the cave until it notices the presence of its prey. So, avoid caves where Rakshasagui is located. Then there is nothing to deal with.”
“How can I find out?”
“I will give you a signal.”
“Wardanaz how can I trust your signals? “How can you find out?”
“If you don’t want to believe it, go in.”
“Oh… no, I was just asking.”
After asking for no reason, Lee Han gave a straight look and the student lowered his tail.
One of the Black Turtle Tower students tilted his head and muttered.
“It seems like Wodanaz is particularly sharp.”
“I guess it’s because it’s a dangerous place. “He’s a guy with a strong sense of responsibility.”
The students could never have imagined that Lee Han would have risked his life and fallen first in this underground dungeon valley.
* * *
How much further did it come down?
The students who came down while avoiding the caves as much as possible were delighted to see the plants forming a colony.
Priest Syana’s eyes lit up and he whispered in a low voice.
“It’s the Bone Meat Flower!”
“I found it.”
Two or three students came out from each tower and began to carefully dig up the flowers.
The rest of the students stood guard here and there. I said I avoided all the caves where the Rakshasagui was located, but there was something like that.
“for a moment. “Isn’t that a light?”
One of the White Tiger Tower students standing guard pointed with his finger behind a rock located at the bottom of the slope.
Although it was a bit far away, a bluish light was coming out softly.
“It’s a light, right? “Isn’t it an artifact?”
Durgyu spoke cautiously.
“I think it would be better not to move carelessly.”
“Wardanaz said there is no Rakshagagwi in that cave. “It’s okay over there.”
“That’s true, but if…”
Before Dergyu finished speaking, the White Tiger Tower student carefully went down the steep slope holding the torch.
And I checked behind the rock. There was a helmet that really gave off a bluish light.
“It’s an artifact! It’s an artifact! Dergyu, look at this!”
“I understand, so come back quickly!”
“okay. I am going right now!”
The White Tiger Tower student tried to climb the slope again.
-■■■…
Before I knew it, a Rachaelfish appeared from behind a rock, glaring at the student and purring.
“…!”
The student’s muscles became stiff due to the sudden appearance of the monster. His hand slipped and he lost his weight, causing the rock on the slope to fall away.
The road suddenly disappeared and I was trapped below like a rascal.
Dergyu was shocked and called Lee Han.
“Lee Han!”
“!”
Lee Han responded immediately. I could feel the urgency in Dergyu’s voice.
“what…”
I was able to understand the situation without even asking.
A student at the White Tiger Pagoda and a Rachael angler at the bottom of a steep slope.
‘for a moment. Surely it wasn’t in that cave?’
Lee Han did not understand.
Of course, the White Tiger Pagoda student went down carelessly, but how could there be no Rachasalakwi around?
At that moment, Professor Boladi’s face flashed through Lee Han’s mind.
-I just managed a dungeon.
“……”
Is it possible that Professor Boladi placed a wandering Rachalakwi for Lee Han to provide appropriate stimulation the next time he came in?
“Hold on! “I’m coming to help!”
Lee Han, who realized his mistake, spoke firmly to cover up the mistake.
If you leave it alone, you’ll be like, ‘Huh? There was a possibility that Lee Han could be blamed for this, saying, ‘Why did it come out when Nachal Agwi didn’t appear?’
The White Tiger Tower student who fell below was even more surprised.
I thought Wardanaz would throw it away, saying he was ‘earning his own money’.
Dergyu shouted as if he knew that would happen.
“Hold on somehow! Lee Han will help you!”
“what’s the matter?”
“The white tiger tower fell down!”
“why?”
“I don’t know! “I guess you were trying to pick something up!”
“Such an idiot!”
Lee Han stopped his friends’ criticism.
“Everyone can make mistakes. stop.”
“Wardanaz…!”
