âLooks like itâs over.â
Whatâs upâ¦!
âWhatâs going on!â
Ogoldos shouted in bewilderment at the words of his junior.
Originally, he would not have listened to the words of an unfavorable enemy, but there was nothing wrong with what the ghoul king said now.
A magic circle of that size could not last long.
It looks like itâs being maintained only by the wizardâs magic power, without any other auxiliary devicesâ¦
âWe have to get out before the magic circle ends! Iâll take care of it, so get out!â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was momentarily taken aback by the seniorâs words.
No matter how you look at it, the moment Ogoldos took over this magic circle, his skin and bones were in contact with each other in a matter of seconds, and it seemed highly likely that he would die instantly.
âThatâ¦â
âQuickly!â
âThatâsâ¦â
âCome out! Iâm going down!â
When Ogoldos pulled out Lee Han and tried to enter instead of him, Lee Han became desperate.
The thoughts jumped right out of my mouth without going through my head.
ââ¦If someone like you is in charge of this, youâll collapse right away!â
ââ¦â¦â
An awkward silence.
Ogoldos had nothing to say, so he lowered his head. Lee Han felt very sorry.
âThatâsâ¦â
ââ¦Youâre right. You are a better wizard than me.â
âah. Why do you do that? senior. You have the experience of seniors.â
âItâs a year difference, son of a bitchâ¦â
Ogoldos was dumbfounded.
Of course, a year at magic school had a density that was incomparable to a year at other places, but it was not enough to express it that way.
Besides, Lee Han had nothing to say.
âdone. Iâm sorry. I couldnât even help, but he kept interfering⦠But are you really okay?â
âyes. Recovery is faster than consumption.â
ââ¦â¦â
â¦donât fuck!
âIsnât that too undignified for a king?â
Lee Han threw a contemptuous glance at the ghoul king trapped in divine magic.
Even if they were the same king, the king of frost giants was dignified, but the king of ghouls was like a barber.
âThe king that the summoned beasts speak of is⦠a title given to the strong.â
Lee Han nodded his head in agreement with Ogoldosâ words.
âindeed. Is that what you call yourself?â
There was a time when Gainando also called himself âThe Wizard Card King of the Blue Dragon Towerâ.
dare!
Lee Han ignored it and said.
âsenior. I have a favor to ask.â
âokay! Speak!â
Ogoldos exclaimed in delight.
And when he realized that he had shouted too excitedly, he felt ashamed.
âOh no. tell me.â
âGive me some water. I was thirsty from earlierâ¦â
ââ¦Yes!â
Come to think of it, this junior was in a situation where he had struggled to the death from that dungeon.
It wouldnât be strange if I collapsed from exhaustion right away.
Ogoldos held up his staff and tried to summon the water.
âWaterâ¦â
However, a few finger-sized lumps of water in the air gave off a sour stench.
Seeing that, Ogoldos belatedly recalled.
âOopsâ¦! It was the undead dimension!â
The dimension itself was full of dark elements and negative magic, which also affected other elemental magic.
It was the worst in a situation where you had to create drinking water like now.
âsenior?â
âKi⦠wait.â
Ogoldos was more desperately focused than when he was taking the black magic final exam.
How to purify this water now?
âThe type of poison I can purify⦠Bacterial poison might be difficult to deal with. Can the dark element be removed with magic? ah. thatâs right. There was a handkerchief of purification.â
âsenior?â
âwait for a sec! wait for a sec!â
âno. I just called.â
â?!â
Ogoldos turned his head.
Lee Han brought a large bowl of water and drank it.
âDonât drink!!!â
âyes?â
âPoison in the water!!â
Ogoldos ran the fastest since he was born. He ran so fast that he lost his balance and fell.
Cheeky!
ââ¦there is!â
âNo poison. Has confirmed.â
âEven if you canât see itâ¦â
âI even used component separation magic to confirm it. Itâs the undead dimension, isnât it?â
Ogoldos, who was lying on the floor, touched a lump of water floating in the air.
It was water with no trace of evil in the undead dimension, composed of pure water elements.
âWould you like some?â
ââ¦I⦠Iâm done.â
âno way. senior. Why are you like that?â
Seeing Ogoldos blatantly depressed, Lee Han tried to appease him.
âYou wonât even have water to drinkâ¦â
âNo. A lot of water.â
It really wasnât enough to be able to summon water with any amount of magical power.
ââ¦Iâm really sorry I wasnât helpful.â
âah. Why do you do that? How great was your help? Didnât you help me earlier?â
ââ¦?â
Ogoldos tilted his head.
âwhat?â
âThat undead number line.â
ââ¦â¦â
Ogoldos felt something indescribable.
In the midst of this, the biggest sense of shame was that the junior was concerned about his feelings.
âIt shouldnât be like this.â
Ogoldos was determined to protect even the last ray of dignity.
Letâs do whatever we can!
âIâll start by looking for the road around here.â
âBe careful. senior.â
There were only three left around the throne in the palace after the fierce battle.
From undead wizards to berserk warriors, everything was swept away, and only the king of ghouls was trapped in divine magic and was gnashing his teeth.
There would be no direct danger, but the paths to this palace were maze-like and not easy to find.
âDonât worry, just rest.â
âIâm really worried.â
Lee Han, who could not leave his seat because of maintaining the magic circle, was very worried.
âfor a moment. senior. Wait.â
âwhy?â
âWait a minuteâ¦â
Lee Han took out colored stones from his arms.
It was a stone for divination that I learned about in the 1st semester foresight magic class.
âLetâs be careful.â
Lee Han confidently jumped into any kind of magic, but the foresight magic was a little different.
Every time the professor talked about it, he gave me all sorts of scares, but it was more strange that he wasnât nervous.
âIt must be dangerous to find a way to escape with foresight magic. If itâs easier and simplerâ¦â
Lee Han pondered and decided.
âDoll, can I send you away?â
In an instant, an image of denial passed by.
Lee Han looked at Ogoldos and said.
âCanât you?â
âThat⦠is that so?â
Originally, he would have been angry and stubborn, but Ogoldos had no intention of doing so anymore.
I was curious about something else.
âCan I use the Foresight Magic⦠already? Isnât it dangerous?â
âIf you use it carefully, you will be fine. ⦠maybe.â
âCrazy guy.â
Ogoldos got tired of Lee Hanâs answer.
I wondered if a real magic genius should be like that.
The madness of throwing magic without caring about your own life!
âsenior?â
âHuh? why?!â
âIâm going to prepare that meal. Do you have anything you want to eat?â
ââ¦â¦â
* * *
The range that can maintain the magic circle was wider than expected. Lee Han walked around the hall and looked around.
In the meantime, Ogoldos looked inside the backpack Lee Han was carrying.
Surprisingly, all sorts of emergency food items, condiments, and even tea leaves, coffee powder, and sugar were packed one after another.
âDid you carry this?â
âyes? uh. Arenât all Einrogard students like that?â
âNot as much as you⦠notâ¦â
âIs that so? How amazing.â
ââ¦â¦â
Ogoldos quietly shut his mouth and found the food that seemed to spoil the fastest and took it out separately. And the healthy food was moved to Lee Hanâs share.
âDo you have coffee? car?â
âI have enough water.â
âSenior, maybeâ¦â
âWhat, what.â
Ogoldos hesitated, as if his thoughts had been revealed. Lee Han brewed another cup of coffee without saying anything and then held it out.
âIf you donât drink, Iâll give you the king of ghouls over there.â
ââ¦thanks.â
âWhat are you doing with these things?â
Ogoldos, who was sipping coffee, said with a blush.
âsorry. A junior like you came in, but I suspected that he wasnât serious about black magic.â
Actually, it wasnât completely wrong.
The reason Lee Han was interested in black magic was because of the possibility of a stable workplace with little competition.
âAnyone can doubt that. Iâm just happy to apologize like this.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lee Han answered hypothetically.
Ogoldos was once again greatly impressed by the answer.
Where else would there be a junior with a bowl like that.
ââ¦Let me know if you need help later. If I can be of any help, I will do my best.â
âoh. If so, could you bring some supplies instead of me when I go back to Einrogard after school starts?â
Ogoldos laughed at Lee Hanâs joke.
His sense of humor was a strange junior, but this one was definitely a funny joke.
âI wasnât kidding.â
Lee Han cursed a little inwardly.
* * *
After a simple meal, Ogoldos began to search the hall further.
Although they are locked up, the place where they are locked up is the center of the palace and where the throne is.
If there was a treasure, it was the most likely place.
Of course, when he did it openly in front of the owner, the owner was furious.
Yourâ¦
âAh. noisy.â
Lee Han threw a stone even though he knew it wouldnât work.
The magic circle in which the divine magic was operating burned the stones as they were. Lee Han, who saw that, suddenly thought of it and lifted the pot.
Now whatâ¦
âOhhh.â
Chii profit!
Lee Han, who poured the remaining garbage in the pot on the ghoul king, admired it.
Surprisingly, even the remaining trash was burned cleanly!
âVerdus⦠Thank you.â
Unfortunately, they had the same name, so it didnât sound like much, but the undead wizard Verdus was a good man who couldnât be compared to the professor.
He could tell just by sacrificing himself to complete such a magic circle.
Lee Han hoped that Verdus would recover quickly and respond to the summons.
Dog â â â â â â â â â
Ignoring the ghoul kingâs creative swear words, Lee Han called out to Ogoldos.
âsenior. Anything good?â
âWait a minuteâ¦â
Click!
Ogoldos, who had been diligently researching even taking out the black magic book he had been carrying, opened the wall and shouted.
âfound!!! I found it, junior!!!â
âYou mean the treasure!?â
Yihan, who had been playing by throwing garbage at the ghoul king, got up in surprise.
âokay! It is a treasure!!â
âMuh⦠What kind of jewel is there?â
Lee Han held back his excitement and asked.
Then Ogoldos answered as if asking what he was talking about.
âIs it a bone?â
ââ¦yes?â
âBone! I wish you had this You will need a lot!â
Ogoldos returned excitedly, carrying an armful of purple and black bones.
I donât know exactly what kind of bone it was, but just looking at the color and magic pattern, I could tell that it was a fairly strong being.
Bones used as reagents were very important to warlocks who liked to use bone elemental magic.
The quality of the bone fragments used as reagents not only strengthened magic, but also increased the limit of magic that could be used.
ââ¦â¦â
Of course, that kind of knowledge meant nothing to Lee Han. Yihan grew sullen and threw trash at the ghoul king again.
âbut. This person was also a warlock.â
Wouldnât it be the warlocks who think of bones as treasure, not gems?
âthank you. I will write well.â
âokay. It went really well. Check it out when you return to Einrogard.â
Lee Han, who was taking care of his bones with a bitter smile, suddenly remembered something and shouted.
âsenior!!!â
âHuh?!â
âIf we stay here, wonât we be late for the start of school?!â
âYeahâ¦yes, but is that important right now?â
When Lee Han asked with a white face, Ogoldos was taken aback.
The guy who didnât make that face when the king of ghouls ran rampantâ¦
