Chapter 189

“How do you know that… Huh? Are you a real spirit? how did you know?”

“If they see me and run away, it’s usually a spirit.”

“……”

“……”

An awkward silence lingered for a moment.

Nilia hesitated.

“…You don’t have to have a spirit to be a good wizard! And Wardanaz, you have a lot of other friends!”

‘He doesn’t have much talent for consolation.’

Lee Han thought so, but nodded.

My friend comforted me with sincerity, but I couldn’t complain about it.

“Wardanaz. Do you want to come over here and go ahead?”

“why?”

“There is something over there, check whether it is a spirit or not.”

“……”

Lee Han looked at Nilia with a sad look.

Either that or not, Nylia gestured without noticing.

“hurry! You should check it out!”

‘This is why hunters.’

Lee Han grumbled inwardly and moved on.

* * *

Basically, heavy snow was not good weather for hunting.

However, experienced hunters were able to track their prey under these conditions.

“Awesome.”

Lee Han was surprised to see Nilia catch one more rabbit.

“When it suddenly snows, even the animals get startled and panic.”

“I see… it seems like you ran in a unique way when you just ran on the snow. Can you show me again?”

Nylia was basically proud of being a member of the Shadow Patrol.

As such, when talking with his friends, he wanted to talk about the Shadow Rangers and Hunters.

– This bread is really disgustingly tasteless.

-oh. But I think it’s better than the bread I ate when I was stranded alone in the mountains. The bread I ate at that time was the worst. It was the bread left by the hunter who came to the cave, but mold and bugs…

– Woowook. Nilia…!

…Of course, these attempts were not very successful.

As such, the respect and concern shown by Wardanaz made Nilia happy, but…

“Wardanaj.”

“Why?”

“Because I really enjoy talking about the Shadow Rangers… and I’ll be sure to answer any questions you ask… Let’s talk later!”

Hiss!

Nilia accurately knocked down the fleeing deer.

The question that Wardanaz threw now was exactly the 17th.

‘How to choose or shoot a bow’ ‘How to track prey when it snows?’ ‘How to hide the presence…’ and so on.

At first, Nilia was also excited and explained.

My friend is curious about it, but why won’t you explain it?

Lee Han also diligently took notes and learned one by one.

But Nilia had forgotten one thing.

That the friend next to you is a madman who wants to take all the lectures at the magic school!

‘No matter how hard it is!’

When the 17th question came, Nilia’s mouth was dry and her throat ached.

“Can’t you just answer this?”

“no!”

Neelia could not refuse a friend’s request, but her ability to refuse was improving while working with Lee Han.

Chow!

“I guess this is enough.”

“right?”

Dismembering her last prey, Nylia washed her hands in the snow.

Lee Han melted the snow around him with fire, boiled it, and put it in a bucket of water.

‘I’d better get used to the flames even a little bit.’

Nilia looked at it and borrowed water with an embarrassed expression.

Magic is convenient!

Why do freshmen come all the way here in this weather? Dangerous. go back

“!”

Yihan and Nilia turned their heads in surprise.

Surprisingly, nothing was seen around.

But the voice continued to be heard. It was a soft, kind voice.

It doesn’t matter where I am. Dangerous. go back

‘I don’t know who he is, but he’s a person with a personality that’s in the top 5% of Einrogard.’

The existence that told students to go back because it was dangerous was likely to be friendly by default.

“I don’t know who you are, but we need something to eat.”

I don’t know why Einrogard is starving young students… but it’s dangerous. go back This weather is artificially created, so it won’t subside easily.

Due to the friendly attitude of the other person, Lee Han took a little more action.

It was not common to see opponents like that in magic schools. I had to get help when I could.

“Can’t you show yourself? I want to see you and talk to you.”

Seeing me wouldn’t be very good for you guys.

The voice warned without loss of decency.

“Why?”

My scent is too strong for freshmen and will make them intoxicated.

‘What race is it?’

From the opponent’s warning, Lee Han guessed that the opponent’s race was quite peculiar.

If you are a race that can make people around you drunk with just your scent…?

“But I will be fine.”

“Wardanaz. Aren’t you being too reckless?”

Nilia whispered.

I was worried for nothing at the opponent’s sincere warning.

From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to be a weak opponent…

“It’s okay. Nilia.”

“really?”

“okay. But you seem a bit dangerous, so I think it would be better to stay away from you.”

“……”

Nilia looked at Lee Han with a very worried look.

Are you really okay?

* * *

Gandharva with bird’s wings and legs was easy to confuse with the bird beasts, but they were distinctly different races.

The difference is that Gandharva’s body exudes an intoxicating scent.

The Gandharvas were a race closer to spirits than beasts.

Gandharva, who spoke to Lee Han, was like a guardian who had been locating in the nearby rock pool underground cave for a long time and managed to ensure there were no accidents.

As such, the wizards who approached him in this way had no choice but to get tired of it.

‘This is why wizards!’

Gandharva appeared after shaking off the heavy snow that had accumulated above the entrance to the underground cave.

Then, a strong scent enveloped Lee Han.

No matter how strong you are in alcohol, a less experienced wizard will never be able to endure…

“Nice to meet you. It is called Lee Han.”

Lee Han greeted them politely. Gandharva was taken aback.

Without giving him time to calm his embarrassment, Lee Han continued to ask.

“What is your name, by any chance?”

…you can call him the owner of the rock pool cave.

“!”

This time, Lee Han was surprised.

If it’s a rock pool cave…

-The rock pool underground cave (be careful with the cave owner)

Isn’t it one of the ways out of Einroguard that Professor Lightning Step told you?

‘You look very well?’

To be honest, the Gandharva in front of me felt more kind than the professor.

“Are you the owner of the rock pool cave?”

Do you know the rock pool cave?

In an instant, Gandharva’s face contorted and radiated intense energy.

Lee Han answered calmly without panicking in the slightest.

“I saw your name in the library.”

You’re not trying to go through a cave, are you?

“I mean? What is outside the cave?”

Lee Han took off his pretense.

Nilia, who was listening from behind, didn’t change her expression enough to be fooled.

if not Don’t pay attention to the rock pool cave.

“Can I tell you something?”

what?

“Magicians are basically curious people, so if you just tell them not to be interested in them, they will be interested in them. If you explain why you shouldn’t be interested, mages will understand and won’t be interested.”

At Lee Han’s words, Gandharva thought for a moment.

The freshman’s words were more plausible than I thought.

It could be… it could be.

“yes.”

Rockgrass Cave is very dangerous.

“How specifically is it dangerous?”

“……”

Nilia looked at Lee Han from behind as if asking what she was doing.

You’re not doing that to get in, are you?

Due to the conflict between the great magics, different realms overlapped and the path became unstable.

Neilia heard it the same as Lee Han, but she didn’t understand it at all.

‘What are you talking about?’

“I see… Then you can’t touch it easily. The mana must be complicatedly twisted and the other dimensions are overlapping…”

That’s right.

“……”

Nilia threw a betrayal in her eyes.

‘Is this an area with severe magic accidents?’

Wizards are basically big thinkers.

The reason why there was heavy snow around here right now was because it was a wizard.

It was clear that the rock pool cave located underground was also the area where such a wizard accident had occurred.

Due to the conflict between the great magics, the flow of magical power is messed up and other dimensions such as the spirit world are mixed…

Lee Han finished the memo.

The guardian of the cave tells you not to go in, but other professors come and go when they are bored.

Surely there must be a way to cross the road.

“thank you for telling me. I won’t even go into the rock pool cave.”

thanks! You are really different from other wizards. I’m sure you’ll be very successful.

Gandharva was delighted with Yihan’s understanding.

I was worried because the students who kept finding this place were sticking their heads out, but it was really fortunate.

Is there anything I can do to help? Did you say you didn’t have enough to eat?

“yes. And…”

?

“I don’t even have enough clothes to wear. It’s such a sudden cold. Everyone is shivering naked.”

“?”

Nilia was also puzzled.

Are you rich in fabrics…?

I guess that’s true too.

“There is also a shortage of potions. I can’t get ingredients because of the cold…”

Gandharva was heartbroken by Lee Han’s words.

I’ll take care of it!

* * *

“…wasn’t it hunting?”

The friends were astonished at the cart that Lee Han had pulled.

No matter how much the master of hunting, well-packed food, let alone potions or coats could not be hunted.

Yoner put on an enlightened expression and whispered softly.

“Did you hunt the professor’s workshop?”

“…It’s a novel idea, but it’s not.”

Lee Han and his friends organized the supplies he had brought.

At this rate, I thought I could somehow get through this week.

I was worried about what would happen if it got longer, but…

‘Let’s think about that then.’

Lee Han was seriously contemplating going back to the cave and asking for it.

The other person was kinder than I thought.

‘I’ll have to visit them periodically.’

“Are you ready?”

“depart! Everyone wake up and follow me!”

The Blue Dragon Tower students, wearing their coats and tying each other with ropes, began to walk through the snow under Lee Han’s command.

It was a grim look, but the place they were heading to was the main building of the magic school.

It was time for Monday morning lectures.

“Heh… Huh.”

“Wake! Don’t fall down!”

The Blue Dragon Tower students pulled each other and managed to enter the main entrance of the main building.

It was the same cold inside the main building, but it seemed like life would be much better without the blizzard and strong wind.

“Everyone…”

Professor Garcia looked at the students sitting in the classroom and made a very sad face.

How did you get into a school like this…

‘You didn’t even come half way?’

Lee Han was surprised to see the numbers in the classroom.

No matter how much these kids do, they are absent…

“Professor Verdus. May I ask for the topic of today’s enchantment lecture on preparation for the cold?”

Professor Garcia asked the Beaver Beast Professor who was standing next to him.

Originally, it should have been a time to explain what kind of magic enchantment was…

But seeing the students half frozen, it seemed that preparing for the cold was much more important.

“why? Why should I?”

“Please.”

“The freshmen are stupid, so I can’t even teach them?”

“Still, if you tell me how to do it, maybe one or two people will continue to try and succeed.”

“no. I can’t do it because I’m stupid.”

“I want you to do it.”

Professor Garcia crushed the corner of the lecture table with the power of his hand.

Professor Verdus was immediately convinced.

“I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”

‘I really need to be careful with my behavior in front of Professor Garcia.’
