Hall of Darkness.
The tower that Professor Mortum was using as a workshop was still gloomy.
âIf I want more students to come, I think Iâll have to improve the surrounding environment first.â
When crates of skulls, bones, tombstones, and poison bottles were rolling around, people generally didnât want to come.
From Lee Hanâs point of view, among the freshmen who will come to learn black magic, Lee Han and Gainando seem to be the only onesâ¦
â??â
Lee Han was surprised.
There was another freshman in front of the Black Dark Hall.
Even two people.
âUm⦠Why did those bastards come to learn black magic?â
âIs there any reason to be so serious?â
Lee Han was puzzled by Gainandoâs reaction.
Gainando replied as if it were natural.
âThe professor said I was the only one with talent!â
ââ¦â¦â
You say you donât like black magic?
Lee Han tried to say something, but gave up and turned around.
âCainan Island. Even if Iâm not as talented as you, I might want to learn black magic.â
âThat is true.â
Gainando slightly reflected on Lee Hanâs words.
Come to think of it, I thought I could be a little more generous.
âhey. Everyoneâ¦â
âDonât talk to me like youâre friendly. You bastards of the Blue Dragon Tower.â
ââ¦â¦â
Gainando was so upset that he tried to hit the opponent with his cane. Lee Han grabbed his arm and stopped him.
âHeâs the White Tiger Top guy.â
âokay.â
A golden light flickered faintly in the opponentâs eyes.
Lee Han realized that the other personâs blood was mixed with the facial features that felt somewhat heterogeneous.
âAre you half-angel?â
âokay. He inherited the blood of his glorious ancestors.â
âLooks like youâre bloody pale for being proud of it.â
Right now, Tigilling, a half-demon, was recognizable just by looking at her appearance because her blood was so thick.
In comparison, the student in the White Tiger Tower right in front of me was quite difficult to recognize.
If it wasnât for Lee Hanâs keen sense of perception, it would have been difficult to notice.
âYou inherited the blood of your glorious ancestors, but are you obeying the orders of the Moradi family?â
Lee Han immediately attempted to stir up the alienation.
As the number of White Tiger Tower students who listen to Giselleâs orders decreases, the lives of Lee Han and Durgyu will become more comfortable.
The honor and pride of the knights was a good weakness to stab.
âDonât be mistaken. Wodanaz. Because I, Raphael, donât listen to Moradiâs orders.â
âwhat? Why is it so cheap when you donât listen to Moradiâs orders
?
âWhy are you acting like that?â
âAre you asking because you donât know?â
Raphael looked at Lee Han in amazement.
It was absurd to take off the pretense.
Gainando whispered from the side.
âIsnât it because the White Tiger Tower bastards were sent to the punishment room last time?â
âOnly with that?â
âOr maybe itâs because I went into the break room the other day and stole the flag.â
âOnly with that?â
ââ¦???â
Gainando was perplexed.
what?
That⦠sounds like a good enough reason?
Raphael narrowed his eyes and said to Lee Han.
âDurgyu from the Choi family! Iâm not going to say that I donât know. It is the name of an honorable friend whom you wickedly play with.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was at a loss for words after a long time. Kainando defended him instead.
âNo, that Durgyu is our friend.â
âYouâre cowardly even making excuses⦠You attack me with magic and knock me out and still say youâre my friend!â
ââ¦â¦â
Gainando looked at Lee Han as if asking for help.
âDurgyu was afraid the White Tiger Tower would hate you so he treated you the same way.â
âDo you mean that?â
Raphael reacted in amazement.
Lee Han shrugged his shoulders as if he knew that.
Some misunderstandings are unresolvable.
âfor a moment. You⦠are you from the Gral family?â
Guinando belatedly remembered Raphaelâs family.
House of the Southern Knights Gral.
The Gral family, which took pride in having angelic blood mixed in their ancestors, was one of the most strict families among the knight families.
I see you sayâ¦
âRight. You evil bastards.â
It seemed that the other party had already defined Yihan and Gainando as the axis of evil.
Lee Han reflected very little.
âBut most of it is because of the image of the Wodanaz family.â
If it wasnât for the crazy image of the Wodanaz family, Lee Han wouldnât have been misunderstood like that.
At least Lee Han thought so.
âNo, why is the Grahl family learning black magic!?â
Kainando argued as if it were nonsense.
Why did someone from the Gral family, which produced so many paladins, come to learn black magic?
Raphael said confidently.
âBecause if you learn black magic, youâll be able to deal with warlocks better.â
ââ¦â¦â
âProfessor must be crying.â
Lee Han was at a loss for words.
Only four people came, and one of them hates dark magicâ¦
âI see. gral. I hope you learn black magic and deal with black magicians. Since you were hostile to me, I thought you would hold hands with Giselle of the Moradi family and aim for my back meanly.â
âDonât treat me, Raphael, like Moradi!â
Raphael was very upset.
Lee Han, who manipulated Durgyu like a puppet, was also Lee Han, but Gisele, who treated the other White Tiger Tower students as if they were her own hands and feet, was equally contemptuous.
âThen wonât you join hands with Giselle of the Moradi family and aim for my back?â
âof course!â
âWith those gangs too?â
âOf course! What are you asking!â
âThatâs it.â
Lee Han walked away as if he had said everything.
As long as he didnât attack from behind and didnât hold hands with Giselle, it didnât matter what he said in front of him.
Raphael was dumbfounded and only blinked.
I feel cheated, but what exactly did I do?
Gainando thought to himself as he followed Lee Han.
âHeâs my friend, but heâs like a really evil wizardâ¦â * *
*
After being beaten by Raphael once, Guinando turned quite hostile. He spoke to one of the other students in a voice without a hint of kindness.
âWhy did you come to learn dark magic?â
Shuk-
The student got up from his seat. Only then did Gainando realize that the other person was sitting on the floor.
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was also tall, but the opponent was so tall that Lee Han had to look up. 2m was an easy height to pass.
âHybrid giant!â
Overwhelmed, Kainando quickly became polite.
â²â² you can learn the boat⦠I think you can do it. Excuse me.â
âNo hello. Nice to meet you all.â
The opponent was a student of the Black Turtle Tower. As I said hello, I looked around.
âMy my name is Ymirg.â
âI am Lee Han. This is Cainan Island. But may I ask why you are looking around?â
âMy friends donât like hanging out with the Blue Dragon Tower studentsâ¦â
â!â
Lee Han was surprised.
âWell, itâs not strange.â
Except for the Phoenix Tower, basically the students of the Tower were bound to stick together.
In a way, it was natural that the students of the Black Turtle Tower, who had almost no noble or knight backgrounds, would not want to associate with the students of the White Tiger Tower, which consisted mainly of knight families, or the Blue Dragon Tower, which consisted mainly of noble families.
Guys like Nilia and Ratford were unusualâ¦
But Lee Han didnât know, so he checked.
âYouâre not thinking Iâm an evil archmage, are you?â
âYep? What are you talking about?â
âNo. Or else.â
Fortunately, it was right that he hated it because he was an aristocrat. Lee Han was relieved.
âI came here to learn⦠because I am interested in black magic. I want to be friends with friends who want to learn dark magic together.â
âjoy! No way!â
Raphael, who was behind, gave a strong reply.
He had no intention of making friends with evil students who were trying to learn black magic.
Ymirg looked at Rapadel with a sad expression. Raphael flinched. He was probably a little frightened.
âokay. I donât know from the outside, but letâs be friends when learning black magic here.â
Lee Han held out his hand.
If it was Ymirg, it was an easy case to get close to. I met so many strange people at school that I was grateful for this.
Ymirg held Yihanâs hand with a happy expression and shook it up and down.
For a moment, Lee Han had to hold on by hurriedly releasing the mana of his body.
âKeugh!â
Lee Han managed his expression so as not to offend Ymirg. It was a tremendous force.
âI wish you well too!â
Gainando held out his hand, unaware of it. Lee Han tried to stop him, but Gainando grabbed his hand first.
Awesome!
* * *
Professor Mortum looked at the new students and hummed with a happy expression.
Lee Han was heartbroken for nothing.
âI shouldnât sympathize with the professor.â
Stockholm Syndrome was a very dangerous syndrome.
âCoke. Welcome everyone. I never thought there would be so many students interested in black magic. I hope to see you next year.â
âPlease take care of me!â
Professor Mortum didnât seem to notice Raphaelâs evil intentions. I looked at Lee Han and asked.
âDid you find more bone summons?â
âI havenât found it yetâ¦â
âCoke. Explore more dismal and dark places.â
Professor Mortum winked at Lee Han as if giving him a gift. Of course, it wasnât very romantic.
âSummoned beasts escape and wander around the gloomy and dark places of the school⦠At that point, itâs practically suicide.â
âCollock⦠Everyone must have been waiting for todayâs meeting, so we need to move on to class quickly. Do you remember what we learned about curses last time?â
âyes. of course.â
Raphael took out paper and a quill and prepared to write down the professorâs words. Professor Mortum was pleased.
Of course, it was just a pity for Lee, who knew Raphaelâs intentions.
Arenât you going to attack the professor first?
âHonestly, the curse was more fun than the summoning magic!â
Gainando spoke frankly.
âToday, Iâm not in a hurry, Iâm studying about the curse to increase my understanding⦠Wait a minute.â
Professor Mortum hesitated as he spoke.
âDid you learn summoning magic this week?â
âyes.â
âCoke. What was the reaction of the students?â
âDid everyone like it? Everyone except us went to the workshop to hear the story.â
Lee Han wanted to punch Gainando in the snout, but unfortunately he couldnât.
Professor Mortum said firmly.
ââ¦Itâs not a curse, but today Iâll teach you how to summon the undead.â
âand!!â
âIs this okay?â
Lee Han became anxious.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like you have skipped a few steps in the curriculumâ¦
* * *
âCollock. Undead summoning can be said to be the flower among flowers in summoning magic. The most beautiful, complex, and sophisticated magicâ¦â
âWhere do warlocks usually get corpses?â
âThatâs a good question. Raphael student. In the past, I used to use graveyards, but these days I donât. They buy and use licensed corpses.â
âOh⦠but illegal warlocks still use graveyards, donât they?â
âIsnât it?â
âthank you.â
Raphael was excited and took notes. Professor Mortum tilted his head as if he felt something out of place.
âBut you guys are still⦠itâs too early to summon the undead. Completed undead can kill wizards if handled incorrectly.â
One of the most common black magic accidents was when a skeletal warrior summoned by a clumsy warlock stabbed its owner to death.
Guinando, who was almost killed by the magic quill, nodded.
âIâll summon the easiest ones that canât kill you. Right from the bony hand.â
The students focused on the professorâs words with nervous expressions.
Hiss!
Bone hands appeared in front of the students.
âLetâs get to know the bony hand first. I wonât listen to you at first, butâ¦â â
â¦?â
Lee Han instantly thought that the Bone Summoner and the Bone Hand had been switched.
The bony hand was very politely hammering the head in front of Lee Han.
âIs it a trap?â
