Episode 673
âProfessor. I think Griffon is frightenedâ¦â
Professor Bendozol burst into anger at Niliaâs words.
âGriffon is not afraid! Donât say insulting things!â
âHick.â
âListen, all of you! Griffins like to play pranks by wagging their tails. So, if you ever need to take care of Gryphon in the future, stick your head out like this. Make it easier for the griffon to hit with its tail.â
âIf you get hit by the tail of a griffon, you might get seriously hurt, right?â
Durgyu carefully raised his hand.
Griffon was one of the most powerful monsters classified as beasts.
Of course, the tail he just swung had the same power as a mace. One wrong hit did not end as a joke.
Professor Bendozol nodded and replied as if he knew that fact.
âHold on!â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦I will raise the phone league on my own.â
âSuch a stupid swindler! Are you flattered that you are loved by Griffon!â
Professor Bendozol got down on all fours and barked, but Lee Han ignored it as if he hadnât heard.
He would have been embarrassed if he had met him when he entered Einrogard, but now he had met many professors who were too crazy to be surprised by Professor Ben Dozol.
Professor Bendozol, who had been talking about âhow to raise a griffonâ for a long time, eventually gave up and kept his mouth shut when Lee Han ignored him.
âbasilisk!â
âyes?â
âApart from griffon, I asked how you are raising basilisks!â
âIâm raising them wellâ¦â
The basilisk tail came out from Lee Hanâs sleeve and swayed.
He heard me calling and greeted me.
Seeing that, Professor Bendozolâs grumpy face was filled with a satisfied smile like a fatherâs.
âSeeing how playful you are, youâre quite satisfied!â
âthank you.â
âFeed? It would be better to feed the Minotaurâs top-notch shoulder meat, is that so!â
ââ¦â¦â
It was a diet that would make you go bankrupt if you took care of it a few times.
Lee Han answered with a tremble.
âIâm giving you what I eat.â
âThis⦠this⦠this⦠ignorantâ¦!â
Prof. Bendozol, who was on all fours, had his face flushed red and foam rose from his mouth.
Seeing that, Cyana whispered.
âYou didnât have rabies, did you?â
âPriestess Sianaâ¦â
âNo. Think soberly. You canât just look at me as a professor.â
â%&%##%^#$!â
Professor Bendozol barely regained his composure after swearing in an incomprehensible dialect.
After that, he uttered passionate words about how to raise a basilisk to Lee Han.
âMeat is important, but you need to mix dragon blood with sand stone poison and feed it periodically.â
Just hearing the names of both of them made it clear that they were very expensive reagents.
Lee Han pretended not to hear and ignored it. As if he didnât want to eat the basilisk too much, he wrapped his forearm around his tail and shook his head.
âProfessor Bendozol. Stop being jealous that your disciple is loved by monsters. Letâs finish talking about unicorns.â
âKeuugh⦠Why to such a young bastard! He doesnât even realize his luck! Stupid, foolish who knows nothingâ¦â
It seemed that if left alone, Lee Han would continue to get scratched, so Professor Lightning Walk kicked the opponent once. Professor Bendozol rolled over on his side.
Lee Han said to console him that he was still a professor.
âprofessor. Do other animals love you? What does it matter if guys like Basilisks and Griffins donât love you?â
As far as Lee Han knew, Professor Bendosol was a fairly famous animal expert in the Empire.
In fact, the types of animals he took care of were enormously diverse, so even looking at this, it was impossible without a certain degree of affinity.
Professor Bendozol listened in silence.
âI donât get along well with sensitive and timid guys like spirits instead. I rather envy the professorâ¦â
âThis bastard keeps bragging! Who are you kidding!â
Professor Bendosol, who thought he was listening silently, exploded in anger and tried to sprinkle the soil on the floor to Lee Han.
Professor Lightningwalk sighed and kicked Professor Bendozol in the side once again.
* * *
Barely calmed down, Professor Bendozol explained about the unicorn.
From the first time the professor met, the unicorn was seriously injured. Professor Bendosol decided to take care of the unicorn instead of going back to Einrogard.
It was far more important to save the unicorn than to teach evil and despicable students.
âLetâs not keep adding useless stories. Professor Bendozol.â
Anyway, I was thinking of only recovering the unicornâs injuries, but it turned out that the unicorn even had a baby.
A double high school where you have to raise even a young child in an injured state.
It was only natural that Professor Bendozol was prepared to take time off from school to devote his time.
âBesides, the injury was no ordinary wound.â
âI see⦠There wonât be many enemies who will hurt the unicorn.â
Professor Lightningwalk nodded and agreed with Professor Bendozol.
Apart from its innocent image, the unicorn was a very powerful monster and it was not easy to injure it.
Conversely, if the unicorn was injured, it meant that the injury was difficult to treat easily.
âWhat enemy hurt you?â
âDocheol. He lies dormant here in the Wort Mountains.â
â!â
Professor Lightning Walk was an old imperial explorer, but when he heard the name of the monster named Docheol, his complexion changed.
It was such a powerful monster.
Do-cheol was a monster that looked like a cow at first glance, but this monsterâs temperament was the exact opposite of that of a cow.
Being a greedy and cunning monster, he avoided enemies stronger than himself and persisted in holding on to weaker enemies until the end.
Of course, you canât become a powerful monster with just your mind. Among the weak animals, there were many animals with such a heart.
Do-cheol was threatening because his physical abilities were also incredibly strong.
Tough leather that deflects spears and magic, hooves that split bedrock with a single stomp, speed at the level of crushing the ground when you run after finding an enemy⦠In addition, now you
have several magical abilities innately, so you canât hurt unicorns. it was law
âIs it Docheolâs horn that hurt the unicorn?â
âRight.â
âThere must be a reason why the wound didnât heal for a long time.â
Professor Lightningwalker clicked his tongue.
Docheolâs horn is an evil object imbued with curses and grudges, so even a creature like a unicorn couldnât easily heal it once it was stung.
âOf course, he was also quite injured by the unicorn. You can tell from the fact that he fell into a long hibernation to recover from his wounds. Originally, I was going to find it and kill it at that time, butâ¦â
âIt failed⦠So are the monsters acting strangely?â
I thought the monsters in the Mountains of Mourning were running here and there as if they were afraid of something, but it was clear that they had an intuition that Do-chul would wake up soon.
Docheol, a monster by nature, did not hunt only for its own food, but enjoyed slaughter mercilessly. It was like a disaster for the monsters around.
Professor Lightning Walk soaked the leaves in his tobacco pipe, lit it, and sucked it.
It was to organize my thoughts.
âThere is nothing to be afraid of because Do-chul will wake up soon. If you have this number, you can catch enough. Isnât that right, Professor Bendosol?â
Professor Bendozol did not deny that.
âNow that we know the circumstances, we will have to change our plans once again. Students, together with Professor Bendosol, protect the unicorn just in case. Me and the hunters will find Taochil and kill him before he wakes up.â
âfor a moment!â
As Professor Bendozol interrupted and intervened, Professor Lightningwalker looked away.
âEven if you want to find Tao-cheol together, you canât. Professor Bendosol. Because we need someone to take care of and protect the unicorn.â
âI didnât mean to talk about that. I just wanted to make sure I didnât take the students with me.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The students looked at Professor Bendozol in embarrassment.
Professor Lightningwalk didnât even answer, he just called the hunters and left.
* * *
âUnicorns are noble and powerful creatures.â
Professor Bendozol took his students and started walking down the narrow mountain path behind his camp.
It was so steep and narrow that I would never have imagined that there was a road if the professor hadnât stepped on it.
Tap tap tap tap tap!
Thin boulders flew from the air and stuck together. Then, a new path was created in the empty space.
âItâs a thousand years too early for young, clumsy, ferocious, cowardly, and vulgar students like you to take care of a unicorn, but since itâs an unavoidable situation, Iâll teach you how to take care of it. Got it?â
âand! Itâs a unicorn!!â
Gainando was excited and started talking to his friends.
Professor Bendozolâs eyebrows twitched when he saw Guinando imagining where he would use the unicornâs fur.
It was as if he wanted to remove the stone slab from under his feet and drop it down there.
ââ¦The most important thing when taking care of a unicorn is getting the minimum amount of recognition from the unicorn. You canât take care of a unicorn if you donât even get the minimum amount of recognition. The moment you approach, you will be hit by hooves or stabbed by horns.â
âHow can I get it?â
âItâs not about what you do! The unicorn will see and figure out what kind of people you are.â
Professor Bendozol admonished as he climbed the path made to wrap around the huge mountain peak.
âThose who hate unicorns stand guard at the entrance here. Those recognized by the unicorn go upstairs and take care of them. remember Those who hate unicorns, donât even think about going inside. I canât guarantee your life!â
The road ended with the horse. The flat land above the mountain peaks came into view. It was a terrain that could not be seen from the outside due to the thick fog surrounding it.
And there were two unicorns in that space.
One was all grown up, but dark red scars shimmered like a curse on the body, and the other was still asleep as if it were still a baby.
âThere are two things Unicorn likes. One is strong and righteous. Itâs similar to Pegasus. The other is good and pure. It is a more difficult condition than before. Those who want to be ambiguous, donât bother the unicorn and step back.â
âIâll just step back for a bit.â
Ratford didnât want to approach unicorns due to the nature of his job.
No matter how you look at it, a good ending was not expected.
On the other hand, Durgyu wanted to be evaluated by the unicorn for how well he lived as a knight.
âI will take one step forward.â
The unicorn lifted its head as Durgyu took a step closer and shook his head slowly.
It meant I didnât deserve to come.
Durgyu felt sorry for him, but acknowledged it kindly and withdrew. The unicorn smiled faintly as if to come back someday.
âItâs more strict than I thoughtâ¦â
âIâll have to send Nilia.â
âThere is only Nilia.â
âOh no, why me? Iâm a hunter! If you hate unicorns, you hate themâ¦!â
Nilia hated it and hated it, but her friends pushed her back.
Surprisingly, instead of refusing, the unicorn stood up and walked to Nilia. Then he slowly glanced at Nilia.
Suddenly the unicorn made a disgruntled noise. Then he turned around and went to his seat.
âWhat?! Why Niliaâ¦?!â
âIsnât that unicorn a weird guy?â
Professor Bendozol kindly explained the studentsâ complaints.
âUnicorns are jealous. It seems that you recently made several contracts with the spirits. You smell it and you get jealous.â
ââ¦â¦â
âI see. You thought Nilia was a playboy.â
âWhat crazy talk?!â
When even Nilia did not work, the students lost their motivation.
âLetâs just stand guard at the entrance.â
âYes. Letâs make a campsite.â
Everyone turned around and was about to leave, but someone grabbed Lee Hanâs sleeve and stretched it out.
Surprisingly, the unicorn was biting on Lee Hanâs sleeve as if telling him not to go!
ââ¦uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuâ¦â
Professor Bendozol glared at Lee Han with jealous eyes.
Why is that guy loved by such powerful monsters!
