Episode 615
âAfter. It passed.â
Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.
Neelia had forged the principalâs signature so that she could escape the Shadow Guard during the vacation.
Fortunately, the principalâs nerves seemed to be focused on the knights below.
âAnyways, they seem uselessâ¦â
âIf you order them to shoot, I will shoot them secretly.â
At the coy words of the Shadow Ranger Hunters, the Headmaster Skeleton shook his head.
âdone. Letâs be content with what we shot last time.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was startled by the conversation next to him.
Of course, it was hard to get along with the hunters in the northern mountains and the knights below them.
From the point of view of the hunters who risked their lives to scout the depths of the mountain range, the knights were just arrogant bastards who didnât help and just sighed.
In contrast, from the perspective of the knights in the north, the hunters were savage bastards who continued to complain about asking for more while stealing all the supplies of their already barren family.
âStill, shooting arrows was a bit harsh.â
* * *
The northern knights sat in front of the log cabin and waited for their master to return.
One of the young apprentice knights who couldnât wait got a little angry.
âNo matter how it is, is it right to keep the honorable knights of the north waiting like this? I was sure you would come today!â
How could you dare to get angry with yourself first when the sky-like knights are silent?
Originally, the club would have been flying, but the old knight who taught the apprentice knight said with a grin.
âOhh. If you do that, then when the woodcutters return, you want to say something.â
âCan you really do that?â
âof course!â
The other knights who were about to get angry stopped moving and smiled at the old knightâs words.
The young apprentice knight nodded vigorously, unaware of the situation.
âAll right. dare!â
Soon after, a group of woodcutters came up from below.
It was the woodcutters in this neighborhood returning from work.
The woodcutters of the northern mountains, composed of various races, walked with large bodies and axes that made them feel small. Every time they exhaled and took a step, steam from their heated bodies gushed out.
ââ¦â¦â
The apprentice knight opened his mouth wide at the appearance of the woodcutter, which was different from his expectations.
Seeing this, the knights giggled.
The free peoples around these northern mountains were different from the free peoples in other parts of the country.
Living in this rugged area is a difficult task without considerable force and courage.
In particular, the mountain woodcutters here were famous among them.
They are made up of those who are naturally strong, so the moderate group of monsters are those who do not ask for help and wipe them out by themselves!
âThis⦠this⦠making the knights wait like this!â
The apprentice knight couldnât back down because of his pride and shouted.
At that cry, the woodcutter looked at the apprentice knight as if he were an idiot.
âWhat is it? knights. Did you come to pick up the fight?â
âDare to persimmon! dareâ¦!â
âIâm sorry. Please understand. Itâs because heâs still young.â
The old knight laughed and covered the apprentice knightâs mouth.
âYou know very well why we came. Itâs because itâs such a waste of talent.â
At that, the woodcutter scratched their cheeks.
In fact, they already knew.
Young Woodsman Wolgan.
Even among woodcutters, he was famous for his large size and strong strength.
Of course, this kind of fame also went into the ears of the articles around you.
âBut you hate him. I already ran away.â
Surprisingly, Wolgan had been trained as an apprentice several years before.
As it had been famous for several years ago, knights came and recommended it from then on.
At the earnest invitation, Ulgan followed the knights and was trained as an apprentice, but soon lost interest and returned to the woodcutter.
âWe donât even know why. Iâm sure it was well-received even among apprentice knights.â
âWe know why. He must have chosen to live as a free woodsman rather than as a frustrating knight.â
The woodcutters giggled at their comrades.
Some knights were angry, but the old knight extended his arm to stop them.
âLet me tell you a story. I just want to hear what you didnât like.â
âArenât the other knight apprentices ostracizing you?â
âThatâs not right.â
âHow can you be sure?â
âThatâs because Ulgan knocked out all the other apprentice knightsâ¦â
On the first day at the inn, Ulgan knocked out all the other apprentice knights and reigned as their leader.
If Ulgan said a word, everyone would even pretend to die, but there was no way there would be bullying.
âunder! Itâs also a wolgan.â
âDidnât you quit because you were boring?â
Despite the woodcutterâs exclamation, the old knight did not lose his composure.
Iâve been a knight to the North for quite some time, but few lumber have been as confident as Wulgan.
-This guy was born for a knight!
Big size, strong physical strength, excellent reflexes, and even innate psychic powers.
If raised well, a legendary knight might be born in the north, I thought.
It wasnât that I was ignoring the woodcutter, but Ulgan was too unfortunate to end up as a woodcutter.
âIâll somehow persuade him and bring him to the Knights.â
This time, since heâs a little older, heâll take him around and teach him.
âThe article is boring.â
â???â
âBut wizards are not boring!â
ââ¦?!â
The northern knights turned their heads because they wanted to quarrel with some crazy stranger, and were shocked to see his face.
The Guardian of the Empireâs Magic Barrier was walking with the Shadow Guard.
âEach, each, eachâ¦â
âEach one. Pretty good.â
âW Why are you here!?â
The northern knights were taken aback.
Usually, when Gonadaltes came to this barren land, it was when a big problem arose.
The magic on the fortress of the rangers in the mountains was destroyed, or a large army of monsters appearedâ¦
Among them, the old knight looked at other possibilities.
âCould it be that Ulgan was chosen as Ein Rogardâs student?!â
âYes.â
âNonsense!â
âwhy. Canât you do magic if youâre big?â
At the words of Gonadaltes, the Shadow Rangers burst into laughter from behind.
âHaha, the knights are full of prejudice!â
âthatâs right!â
ââ¦â¦â
The knights vowed to spit on supplies sent to the Shadow Patrol next time.
âAh⦠no. No matter how you look at it, Ulgan is a natural talent as a knight.â
âIsnât his physical strength a bit strange? Even considering the size? Itâs probably because he has an innate sensitivity to magic. Even if you donât learn it, you can handle magic to some extent. Besides, do you have superpowers? This is a common phenomenon of uneducated wizards.â
âOhâ¦â
The woodcutter looked at the Headmaster Skeleton, intrigued.
I knew he was a pretty great person, but seeing him talk like this made me more trustworthy.
An aura of nobility and intelligence that was on a different level from that of the knights overflowed.
âNo, both magic and psychic powers are necessary even for knights!!â
The knights desperately refuted when the atmosphere became strange.
Chivalry also needed to be able to handle magical powers in order to extract an aura, and psychic powers were also more useful for knights than wizards.
Magicians can produce the same results through study anyway, so why obsess over something like supernatural powers?
Just looking at what wizards call psychic powers like âprimitive magicâ, I could tell.
âSomething is strange.â
Nogisa was puzzled by Gonadaltesâ relaxed attitude.
That skeleton headmaster was not the kind of person who would listen to the other person so leisurely.
What are you up to?
* * *
âI hate mountains.â
Alcicle, who was walking in front of him, gasped and swung his staff. It was a typical appearance of a wizard who neglected physical training.
Seeing that, Eandurde looked at Alcicle in pity.
âPitiful!â
âno. Originally, there are a lot of weak people among mages.â
â?â
Eandurde looked up and down at Lee Han.
Embarrassed, Lee Han made an excuse.
âThere are exceptions.â
âWhy arenât you training?â
âThatâs because the convenience of magic is so greatâ¦â
âLaziness!â
âno. Itâs different from laziness⦠right?â
The reason why Lee Han and his party are traveling separately now is simple.
It was because of the order of the skeleton headmaster.
-Seeing that there are no freshmen, it must be somewhere else. Iâll be dazzling the knights, so find them.
-What do you do after you find it?
-Let them enter Ein Lorgard.
-yes? How do you say
â Itâs easy. just like you usually do
-â¦Noâ¦
Lee Han was dumbfounded, but the headmaster went away.
The remaining Lee Han had no choice but to go out to find Ulgan with Alcicle and his juniors.
âO snow, teach me the traces.â
As Alcicle chanted, snowflakes revealed footprints on the floor.
Fortunately, when he succeeded, Alcicle let out a sigh of relief.
This magic was a magic to find traces, but it was not omnipotent. The magic itself failed if not used in the right place.
I was worried that I would fail because there were young wizards watching from behind, but fortunately I succeeded.
âphew. Iâm glad.â
âand. There must have been a way.â
âItâs not that difficult magic. Shall I teach you later?â
âthank you. I was contemplating whether to use the Foresight Magic.â
When Lee Han put back the colorful stones used for divination, Alcicle asked, puzzled.
âForesight magic? This is not a workshop, so it must be a lot of pressure?â
Normally, he would have asked, âYou already know how to use divination magic?â
âah. I managed to handle this level somehow with magic power.â
ââ¦â¦â
Upon hearing that, Alcicle looked at the footprints of the snowflakes he had sown.
Swipe-
âWhy are you deleting it?!â
âForget this!â
âNo, why are you doing that, really!â
While the alcicle was drying, Eandurde sniffed and searched for the location of the person.
âOver there!â
Eandurde pulled Lee Hanâs sleeve and pointed far away.
A man with a huge body was chopping a tree with an ax, and the speed was surprisingly fast.
âThat guy. If you enter Einrogard, you wonât have to worry about firewood!â
Lee Han was surprised to discover a talent who might upset the market balance of Einrogard.
Alcicle was curious as well.
âHe looks like a big warrior, but he has quite a talent for magic, doesnât he? It even uses superpowers.â
âYou mean superpowers?â
âokay. Itâs like telekinesis. Iâm subconsciously using telekinesis on my axe.â
âItâs really amazing.â
âYouâre more amazingâ¦â
Alcicle swallowed the words that were about to come out.
No matter how much I thought about it, compared to those ordinary psychic powers, the boy from the Wodanaz family was much more amazing.
âWhere are you from?â
Ulgan was surprised to discover the wizards.
âAre there knightsâ¦?!â
âno. We are mages from Ein Lorgard. Wolgan.â
Alsicle calmed the young woodcutter and said.
âYou mean Ein Rogardâ¦?â
âokay. I came here because you have a talent for magic. Can we talk for a minute?â
Ulgan put down his ax and approached with a bewildered expression.
âMagicâ¦â
âI heard that you trained as an apprentice knight. Can I ask why you quit?â
Ulganâs face darkened at Alcicleâs question.
âah. If this is a difficult question to answerâ¦â
âNo. Actually, I should have answered correctly. That.Iâ¦â
As Urgan put on a determined expression, the other three looked intently.
I was wondering what the reason was for it to do that.
why?
ââ¦I hate fighting.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
There was silence for a moment.
Alcicle, who was the first to come to his senses, spoke.
âThen Einrogard would suit you even better!â
âDo you think so?â
When Ulgan was tempted, Lee Han thought to himself.
âI donât like fighting, can I come to Ein Lorgard?â
