âThe professor is right.â
âYou canât win if you just back down because youâre afraid. A truly strong knight fights fear!â
âThese crazy bastards.â
Lee Han shook his head.
If there were other tower students, they would have joined hands with them and said, âProfessor Ingeldell, wake up,â but unfortunately, the White Tiger Tower students wouldnât listen to anything Lee Han said.
No matter how much it is, Iâm so in favor of fighting a summoned beast that has been released.
Isnât it normal to learn how to avoid it?
Sometimes, Lee Han felt lonely because he felt like he was the only sane person in this school.
âI have had good disciples.â
Professor Ingeldell nodded with a satisfied look at the reaction of the White Tiger Tower students.
I tried to think again if there was a student I was afraid of or wanted to avoid, but as talented swordsmen as well, I tried to fight against fear without avoiding it.
Professor Ingeldell looked around and suddenly stopped at Lee Han. Han Lee reflexively shouted.
âWhat a great idea. professor!â
âThank you. everyone.â
Professor Ingeldell smiled proudly when Lee Han shouted that.
It seemed like a pretty good idea after thinking about this and that.
âruler. Everyone, gather in groups of three.â
Fortunately, Professor Ingeldell had a conscience left. I didnât say to face the monster alone.
Butâ¦
âOh. Itâs ruined.â
Lee Han realized that he was ruined.
People like Nilia, who have trouble making friends, are suffocated from this kind of grouping.
Although Lee Han was not Nilia, there was no way the students of the White Tiger Tower were collaborating with Lee Han.
âShould I say Iâm going to hit one person with the Durgyu, and then forcefully beat the other person and bring him in? Can I evade the professorâs gaze and intimidate him?â
âprofessor. Can I make my own group?â
âno. I made lots, so each person can draw.â
Professor Ingeldell gave Yihan a slight glance.
The professor was already well aware that Lee Han was not friendly with the other White Tiger Tower students as he belonged to the Blue Dragon Tower.
Knowing that, it was so caring.
âProfessorâ¦â
Lee Han was grateful.
By the wayâ¦
ââ¦If youâre going to be so considerate, then rather than practice catching escaped summons, give them swordsmanship trainingâ¦â It
was truly professor-like that the method of consideration was crooked.
Lee Han stood in line and drew lots. The number 4 was written on it.
âIs there anyone who picked 4?â
Durgyu raised his hand. Lee Hanâs expression softened. The White Tiger Tower students glared at Lee Han with great concern.
Arenât you playing with Durgyu like a chess piece again?
âIs there another one?â
A group of three.
At Lee Hanâs words, someone raised their hand.
It was Giselle of the Moradi family.
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Durgyu and Lee Han, as well as other White Tiger Tower students, were shocked.
âIsnât this going to explode with a knife?â
On the one hand, Lee Han, the essence of the Wodanaz family, who has mastered all the mysteries of evil magic even before entering school.
On the one hand, Giselle from the Moradi family, one of the most powerful of the northern knight families, who leads the students of the White Tiger Tower with natural charisma.
Besides, they didnât get along wellâ¦
But instead of swinging the knife, Giselle quietly raised the corner of her mouth and smiled incomprehensible. Lee Han felt more ominous about it.
âSince we both made childish mistakes, can we not forget this opportunity?â
âYou donât mean it, right?â
Durgyu looked at Lee Han as if he was talking nonsense.
Of course, it was Gisele who, after all, was the first to argue.
However, in the battle of emotions, such a relationship was not important.
And if you look at the fucking robber, Lee Han was overwhelming.
After putting it to sleep, leave it to the skeleton headmaster to send the punishment room, lead friends to raid the break room at night, steal the flag, and so on.
Durgyu was not very close to Giselle, but as he was from the same northern knight family, he knew quite well what kind of person he was.
As a hunk of arrogant pride, even if he doesnât show it on the outside, he will be grinding his teeth very hard at Lee Han.
To be honest, I was seriously worried.
âLee Han. Always keep me between you and Moradi when moving together. And never turn your back on Moradi.â
âthanks. Durgyu. It will cheer you up.â
âDid you finish your group?â
Professor Ingeldell confirmed and then continued.
âA party always needs a leader. The person who draws the one with red paint at the corner of the paper is the leader. Leaders give directions. Others follow the leaderâs instructions to deal with the monsters.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han recalled that there was no red paint on the corner of the paper he had drawn.
âDurgyu. Can you tell me that you pulled out the one painted red?â
ââ¦sorry.â
Lee Han and Durgyu looked at Giselle. Giselle waved the red-painted paper and smiled again, the same meaningless smile.
âWill you call me Captain?â
âLeader.â
âNo. I have to put you on it.â
âCaptain.â
Giselleâs smile deepened at Lee Hanâs answer.
âIf you donât want to be stabbed from behind, give the instructions well.â
ââ¦â¦â
There was a saying that knights who had witnessed a white ice storm coming over the northern mountains would no longer be afraid of anything.
Durgyu was one of those people, but seeing Lee Han and Giselle staring at each other was seriously frightening.
* * *
âSo, what kind of summons do we have to deal with?â
âI cannot tell you that.â
ââ¦?â
â?â
The White Tiger Tower students all tilted their heads in the same way. Lee Han felt ominous.
âIâm trying to learn how to deal with an unknown summoned beast, but itâs meaningless to know its identity in advance, isnât it?â
Professor Ingeldell kindly gave supplementary explanations.
Many of the White Tiger Tower students agreed, saying, âAha, thatâs right,â but Lee Han and some of the White Tiger Tower students, whose heads were fine, hardened their expressions slightly.
âFrom now on, please enter the annex building one by one. There is a summoned creature inside, so after dealing with him, you can go out through the other exit.â
After Professor Ingeldell had finished speaking, some of the students who had normal brains cautiously asked questions.
âAnyway, Professor. It must be a summoned beast that we canât deal with, but I think we need some informationâ¦â â
Thatâs right. Please give me a little hint on how to deal with it.â
At the words of the White Tiger Tower students, Professor Ingeldellâs face was slightly troubled.
When I thought about it, I wondered if the practice was too difficult.
âWell, I donât know if I should have some basic information about the experience of finding a way to deal with each otherâ¦â As the normal person,
paralyzed by the other professorsâ eccentricities, was about to regain his senses, other White Tiger Tower students intervened.
âDonât talk like a coward!â
âWhat will the professor think of us? You donât think youâre weaklings who canât even do that!â
âno. everyone.â
âprofessor. We are fine!â
âI donât need any hints. We will find a way to deal with them with our hand and foot swords.â
âIsnât this a magic school?â
Lee Han thought to himself.
Letâs use magic, kids! Get a hint if possible!
âStupid trash reallyâ¦â
â?â
âwhat. why?â
As Lee Han turned his head, Giselle said something.
The original way to manage facial expressions and words is to look at the other person. There was no need to pretend in front of Wodanaz, who knew everything.
âI agree with you about being stupid.â
âThere are times when you say things you like. Please listen to my instructions as well. Then there will be no problems.â
Giselle said as if warning.
âYou seem to be misunderstanding, but I have no complaints as long as there is no problem with the instructions. Why would I be arguing for nothing? I donât like to pick fights with others.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Not only Giselle but also Durgyu were a little taken aback.
âFor something like that, he
âs been playing around so naturallyâ¦â
Giselle crossed her arms and said in an astonished voice. His eyes were the ones he would have pulled out several times even if he had already pulled out the sword.
âWe werenât on the same side, so it wasnât a betrayalâ¦â
âLee Han. I donât know much about speech, but I think youâd better stop talking about it.â
Durgyu stopped Lee Han.
Durgyu didnât particularly like Giselle, but if he left it as it was, it seemed that either Yihan or Giselle would collapse before fighting the monster.
âI was trying to clear up a misunderstanding.â
âno. Han Lee. Some misunderstandings cannot be resolved. And you, Lee Hanâ¦â
Durgyu was about to say, âYou have the talent to make enemies angryâ, but stopped.
Anyway, in the current situation, the only thing that could stop the relationship between the two was Durgyu. Durgyu decided to exert his strength.
I donât have anything to say, but stillâ¦!
âThink of both. Even if you act like you donât like each other, both of you will lose. Even if you donât like it, since itâs a class, the goal given is sincereâ¦â â
Thatâs natural. Durgyu. do not worry.â
âDonât talk nonsense. Choi. Itâs okay if you donât say that.â
The two bruised Durgyu at the same time. Durgyu felt unfair for nothing.
* * *
The annex building prepared by Professor Ingeldell had the appearance of a gigantic gymnasium or auditorium.
Of course, it was different that the escaped pet was waiting inside the closed door instead of a fun exercise.
âIâm more concerned about the lack of sound.â
If I had heard a scream, I would have guessed it, but it was rather creepy that the silence continued as if it had been blocked by magic.
What do you have?
âEven after opening the door and entering, donât move on your own and figure out the situation first. If you start attacking as soon as you enter, tell them to split into left and right sides and move⦠Choi.â
ââ¦â¦â
Durgyu was at a loss for words at Giselleâs childish words.
Right now, Lee Han is next to me, so what do you mean by convey?
âYou werenât such a childish person, Moradi!â
âIf itâs dark inside, Iâll turn on the light magic right away and go in, so tell me not to be surprised. Durgyu.â
âTell the other side that if you lose your mana for no reason and then throw it away. Choi.â
âTell the other side that I am the only one who can use light magic, so I am stepping out. Durgyu.â
âI donât know how to use light magic either, so tell them not to show off. Choi.â
âSomeone please save me.â
Durgyu had heard all sorts of stories before entering magic school.
They say that they prepare harsh trials to immerse students in magic. They say that the professor is a troll. They say that former knights get bullied because they are dull with magic⦠But there was no such
situation in any story!
jump!
The door is open. It was dark inside, not bright. Lee Han sighed.
âItâs more scary to predict the pattern of this school.â
Students who went in thinking it would be bright would have been embarrassed by the dark inside.
I could imagine what Professor Ingeldell must have thought as he prepared for this darkness.
âSummoned beasts are more likely to wander around at night than in broad daylight, so I must have prepared them.â
âLight!â
Lee Hanâs spell rose like the sun and strongly illuminated the inside of the annex. Durgyu and Giselle had no choice but to acknowledge Lee Hanâs magical skills.
-â â â â â â¦
The summoned beast nestled inside the annex looked like a mixture of a spirit and a bull.
Not only that, but also the energy of strengthening magic and potion that cannot be felt from an ordinary bull.
In an instant, Lee Hanâs face flashed through his mind.
âCertainly not.â
