Chapter 521

Han’s eyes shook for a moment.

Fortunately, the lightning-walking professor didn’t notice.

“I don’t know who they are, but they are really bad people! Stealing such a rare guy.”

“done. If you have to pinpoint the cause, it’s because of the principal who kept bullying the students.”

Although Professor Lightningwalker continued to be dissatisfied, he wasn’t seriously angry at the students stealing.

It was because the rules of Einrogard encouraged such theft in the first place.

If you continue to be pressured to steal if you have the ability, will students who have gone through rigorous training not steal and stay still?

“Isn’t there anyone who can guess the culprit?”

Lee Han glanced up at Professor Lightning Walk.

If the other person had any doubts, I was thinking of rectifying it as quickly as possible.

“Well, maybe one of the 3rd years? The 4th graders will be too busy now to steal and raise ghost chickens.”

Professor Lightningwalker said as he took up his hammer and repaired the fence.

From the professor’s point of view, it seemed that the 3rd and 4th grade students who were about to take their final exams this time were interested in the headmaster’s garden.

There were many rare beasts, but among them the two Hydras that the students were most directly interested in were the recently brought in.

Among them, the 4th grade students had a lot of things to prepare, so they couldn’t afford to pay attention to the ghost chicken, so the culprit was likely to be in the 3rd grade.

‘thank god.’

Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.

If the seniors in the third year accepted suspicion instead, Lee Han would have been safe.

It may be a bit difficult for seniors, but isn’t it the nature of seniors to take the initiative and shoulder the pain of their juniors instead?

“what the. You managed to take that tricky guy with you.”

“Are you that picky?”

Lee Han was a little puzzled.

It was Lee Han who took out the ghost chicken relatively easily.

At first, it was a ghost chicken that went wild, but when I got close to it, covered it with a cloth, and grabbed it, it quietly followed without resistance.

“okay. My temper isn’t usually dirty.”

“??”

Lee Han was slightly suspicious that he had brought out the ghost chicken properly.

Could it be that you came out with a fake?

‘ah. Were you afraid of being caught?’

“Is he on the timid side?”

“no. Having a bad temper is also dirty, but he’s more annoying because he’s not afraid.”

“……”

Lee Han vowed to check out the ghost chicken again when the lecture is over.

Yesterday’s meekness may have been an illusion…

“And besides, it’s a monster that emits curses.”

“ah. I know that.”

Lee Han did not pay much attention to the curse.

Other 3rd year students would be bothered by the curses emitted when dealing with monsters like this, but Lee Han didn’t have to worry much.

Yesterday, when the ghost chicken spewed out curses and tried to peck Lee Han with its beak, it had no effect.

– Cluck cluck… cluck cluck!!

In fact, the ghost chicken, which initially tried to peck at it with its beak, became very docile when it was caught and learned that the curse did not work.

“The curse it emits varies depending on its food and the surrounding climate. he’s a weird guy So I thought it would be really good to learn how to deal with curse-type monsters…”

Lee Han, slightly pricked by his conscience, made some excuses.

“How about practicing reading the flow of magic instead and figuring out what kind of curse it is?”

“…?”

Professor Lightning Walk looked at Lee Han as if he were a bit crazy.

Knowing what kind of magic it was just by looking at its appearance required talent to feel the structure of magic even from a distance that you hadn’t even cast, and the knowledge to recall what kind of magic it was by looking at that structure.

“If that’s possible… wouldn’t it be a first year?”

‘what?’

Lee Han was slightly taken aback by the professor’s gaze.

Lee Han has often read the flow of magical power and memorized the pattern, and has done several things to grasp first.

If you don’t do that, you can’t hold on without giving the initiative when dealing with powerful enemies.

‘Was I strange?’

“If it’s that violent, won’t the ghost chicken go around and attack the students?”

Lee Han was ready to ask a few more questions.

The stolen ghost chicken was released in the old basilisk hut.

There was no better place to raise dangerous beasts than a cabin, as the remote location was enchanted to make it difficult for intruders to come.

“I’m not one to attack like that. Being close to territorial animals. They won’t leave their territory very often.”

“Then what kind of food do you like?”

“I usually eat chicken food well, but if I want to strengthen the power of the curse, I need raw meat with dripping blood or an ingredient with some magical power… Wait a minute.”

The lightning stride professor, who was answering, stopped as if he felt a sense of incongruity.

Lee Han felt his heart sink.

‘Was it too explicit?’

“i get it.”

The lightning-walking professor raised his eyebrows and glared at Lee Han.

“you. I’m thinking of finding a ghost chicken and raising it. Right?”

“…You really can’t lie, Professor.”

When Lee Han meekly admitted, Professor Lightning Walk grumbled and replied.

“Anyway, I have a lot of greed. Not recommended. He’s so nasty and picky, so even if the eggs or feathers are expensive, the treatment will cost more.”

Occasionally, there were alchemists who tried to raise eggs or feathers of ghost chickens to reliably collect them.

Most of those attempts have been miserable failures. Alchemists who did not have the ability to deal with dangerous monsters were pecked, clawed, and cursed by the ghost chicken, so they called Professor Lightning Walk.

‘…is it really okay?’

Lee Han suddenly became worried.

Apparently, the ghost chicken was obedient and left it in the hut, but he was worried that he might have destroyed the hut and escaped the barrier while Lee Han was gone.

‘If that’s the case, I won’t forgive you.’

If he used such a trick, Lee Han would never trust the monsters again.

Feeling Lee Han’s feelings, the baby basilisk trembled in his arms.

“Rather than catching and raising it, finding its nest and bringing back its eggs or feathers would be more likely. really. If you find it, take it to your professors. I’ll probably buy it for you.”

“Oh… thank you.”

Lee Han looked at Professor Lightning Step with respect.

How many people in Einrogard would think of a disciple like this?

“Then, are you off today?”

Kainando asked while shaking the straw from his head.

He had just been fed a horse in the stable and had been baptized with straw.

“no. It can’t be. Originally, I was going to do it next week, but I decided to pull it this week. It’s time to come soon… Ah. You are here.”

“!”

The students who had gathered around them looked away in unison.

On the other side, people on mounts were walking one after another.

The rides were all different.

Someone was a horse, someone was a wolf, someone was an ostrich, someone was a goat, someone was a tortoise…

But their clothes were uniformly the same. All of them were wearing the same outfit and had the emblem of Granden City on their chests.

Asan and Angrago shouted at the same time.

“Grande City Gyeokgu Club!”

“…what? Is there such a thing?”

Lee Han asked, puzzled.

Then the two friends were even more astonished and asked again.

“You didn’t know?!”

“How can you not know that, Wodanaz! You have time to join the meeting and catch the basilisk, but don’t you know that?”

-??

The baby basilisk was bewildered by the students’ words.

What did you catch when?

“Is that something you need to know?”

“of course. Wodanaz. The Granden City Fighting Balls Club is an honorable gathering that any aristocrat in the area would like to join.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“But it’s our knights who are making the mark.”

“gibberish! The striker who received the award last time was from an aristocratic background!”

“Isn’t that something that happened to be rewarded only once! Originally from knights…”

“Hey. noisy.”

Lee Han made the two friends shut up.

In the first place, Lee Han, who read only the economic business section of the Imperial newspaper, was not interested in how well the Gyeokgu club was and how prestigious it was.

“So anyway… it’s a popular group, right? But why did you call that place? What does it have to do with fighting and riding training?”

“Oops. Wodanaz. Gyeokgu is incredibly helpful for riding training.”

At Angrago’s triumphant words, Lee Han contemplated whether to hit him once.

Even if you have muscle pain, if you order a skeleton warrior to grab both of Anrago’s shoulders…

“Alpha is right. Wodanaz. Gyeokgu is not only helpful for riding training, but it can also be called a flower.”

“…!”

Lee Han looked at the professor with a sense of betrayal in his eyes.

Due to his easy-going and lighthearted nature, he thought that the Imperial Fighting Ball Club would not be very interested in what he was doing.

But I would have thought that such a person would also be interested in Gyeokgu.

“No, I just had to train. Why do I have to play Gyeokgu?”

“Because I can make it more fun and interesting…? no wadhanaz. Are you saying you hate gyeokgu? I thought you would do well.”

The lightning stride professor was even more absurd.

First of all, it was more unusual that he was not interested in gyeokgu as long as he was from an aristocratic family and was good at riding horses.

Gyeokgu was not only a fierce sport for knights, but also a social culture for nobles.

“I didn’t hate it, I just wasn’t interested.”

“I don’t think he hates that… Anyway, it’s interesting. I never thought a gregarious guy like you wouldn’t be interested in gyukgu.”

Lee Han was stabbed where it hurt.

To be honest, I also practiced dancing and singing to improve my sociability, but there was no law saying that I shouldn’t practice Gyeokgu.

If the high-ranking officials of the empire like gyokgu, Lee Han should practice it and show an active attitude like ‘I belong to the Granden City gyekgu club haha’.

“…I would like to take this opportunity to pay attention.”

“Good job Wodanaz!”

“okay. We will tell you the charm of Gyeokgu!”

Asan and Angrago were excited and put their arms on Lee Han’s shoulders and shouted.

Lee Han quietly whispered to his friends.

“If you don’t want to get hit, put your arms down, both of you.”

“…there’s nothing to be angry about…”

* * *

Gyeokgu was close to riding soccer.

A sport in which you ride a mount and hit a ball with a long pole in your hand to score it into the goal.

But always, the simpler the rule, the more complicated and profound the direction.

The people of the Empire, who were crazy about fighting, have mobilized all sorts of complicated means and strategies to win.

“The mount is basically free, but it must not exceed the size or mass limited by the imperial rules. Wodanaz. Don’t worry, your phone league will be close.”

‘Can I ride the griffon…?’

Lee Han wondered if he could ride the transformed monster, but seeing that the lightning-walking professor didn’t say much, he decided to pass it on.

“You must not hit or cut the opponent’s shoulder with a pole. You can’t stab it, and you can’t cast magic and drop it.”

“……”

“…who would do that?”

When the students asked questions as if they were absurd, Professor Lightning Walk replied with an amused tone.

“Your ancestors. Those who can’t do it are said to have a good temper. You shouldn’t cast magic before entering… If you think it’s not possible, don’t do it. Because they are guests from outside. Of course, don’t earthquake.”

The students laughed at the professor’s words.

Aren’t the players belonging to the playing and working together for a long time?

It wasn’t an opponent I couldn’t lose even if I told them not to lose.

However, the lightning stride professor was serious. He took out a huge piece of paper and threw it into the air.

“ruler. Look. You guys are inferior, but if you catch yourself off guard, you can definitely win…”

There was no joke in his eyes, only a very serious desire to compete.

The students who saw the eyes of the professor with lightning steps noticed the situation belatedly.

The professor really wanted the students to win!
