Episode 1154
Professor Kirmin was teaching the White Tiger Tower students how to deal with such situations when he was called and came running.
However, Professor Kirmin’s reaction after hearing the explanation was a little different from what Professor Garcia wanted.
“Hmm. I guess it would be okay to leave it to Wardanaz for once…”
“yes????”
Professor Garcia was shocked when he got an answer that was different from what he expected.
“Professor! No matter how angry that student is, isn’t he feeling much better now? I think it’s time to start holding back!”
Professor Garcia desperately tried to convey his intentions to the other person with burning eyes.
Professor Kirmin quickly whispered as the bones in his captured shoulder screamed.
“Professor Kim. I feel sick.”
“Oh. I’m sorry.”
Professor Kirmin said, rubbing his shoulder gently.
“If the cursed plague that is circulating in Marheim is really a symptom, it might not be a bad idea to approach it with the Fallen Magic. The thing that has the strongest resistance here is the Wardanaz.”
“That’s… true, but… this student is still in his second year.”
“It’s rare to find a second-year student who doesn’t get caught hanging out with fourth-year students.”
‘I brought this guy here for nothing.’
Professor Garcia cursed inwardly.
Clearly, when they were together before, he was supposed to take on the role of suppressing Professor Voladi together with Professor Garcia, but now that the professor has disappeared, isn’t he taking on the role of Professor Voladi?
I had a feeling that it was happening since the last request, but I was paying the price for letting my guard down.
The magicians of the empire were divided into those who taught more leniently to their friends’ disciples and those who taught more strictly. Unfortunately, Professor Kirmin was one of the latter.
“No matter how much you try to stop him, Wodanaz will continue to attack the evil ones in the religious order, so there’s no point in trying to stop him too much.”
“professor!”
Lee Han shouted in a slightly moved voice.
“professor!”
Professor Garcia shouted the same thing, but his voice sounded like a slight growl.
The death knights behind him flinched without even realizing it.
“Calm down, Professor Kim. There are a few more reasons. I investigated the people captured by the White Tiger Tower students, and they said there are rumors of a suspicious priest in the city of Marheim.”
Lee Han’s eyes burned like stars. Professor Garcia shouted again.
“professor…!”
Isn’t this just adding fuel to the fire?
Professor Kirmin quickly finished what he wanted to say before his shoulder blade broke.
“It would take a lot of time and preparation to distribute the potion to those who need it, so we can’t just focus on that now, right? Besides, if we do, rumors will spread quickly.”
“Thank you, Professor. I will go and prepare it right away.”
“Wordanaz. Wait…”
When Lee Han was about to leave, Professor Kirmin tried to stop him.
If his disciple disappears now, he will have to endure the attacks of an enraged Professor Garcia all by himself.
But the disciple, who was as excited as his master, went away.
Professor Kirmin sighed.
“professor.”
“Professor Kim, you have to admit it. Now, Wardanaz is a wizard who deserves this much autonomy.”
“…That’s true.”
Professor Garcia sighed.
Because my disciple grew so quickly, there were times when I had a hard time adjusting as the person who watched him from the closest angle.
Perhaps Professor Kirmin, who had been watching from a distance, was treating him appropriately and objectively.
“Thank you for your understanding, Professor Kim.”
“Right. From the next request onwards, Professor, please don’t come. Professor Bagrek isn’t here either, so there’s no reason for you to come.”
“……”
Professor Kirmin could not help but remain silent at the sight of Professor Garcia’s old temper coming out.
I’ll have to try to persuade you again later when you’ve calmed down!
‘Cheer up, Wardanaz.’
What I just said to Professor Garcia was sincere.
Objectively, I thought that Wodanaz deserved this level of autonomy.
And apart from that, I also wanted to see how much my friend’s only… no, one of his only disciples, Wodanaz, had grown.
Then, when you meet your friend again later, wouldn’t you be able to scold him, saying, “Why are you acting so rashly when you don’t even know your disciple’s abilities?”
“No. Would you like to just go back to work on this request?”
“…I apologize, so calm down, Professor Kim.”
* * *
“Wodanaz, if you visit and treat sick people, we will check if there are any suspicious people around, right?”
“okay.”
“It’s not difficult.”
The White Tiger Tower students nodded willingly after hearing the instructions.
Such a simple and easy strategy was something that even a first-year student in Ainrogard could do.
“Hide your weapons and act as minimally threatening as possible.”
“I guess they do that because they’re afraid that sick people will be scared.”
“No. I just wanted to increase the chances of suspicious guys attacking me.”
“Ugh…”
Thrilled by the unexpected persistence, the White Tiger Tower students each moved to their seats.
Somehow, I thought the professor and the knights were waiting behind me…!
Giselle tilted her head.
“But Wardanaz.”
“what?”
“I’m no expert in healing magic, but I know it’s rare for someone to work alone.”
It was rare for healing school wizards to work alone.
Since healing magic is something that rapidly consumes concentration and magical power, it is advantageous for several people to share the burden.
But now, Wardanaz was on his own, saying he would cure the cursed plague.
I thought they had prepared the antidote in advance using alchemy, but there was no trace of that…
what?
“Haha. There is vision magic.”
Lee Han said with a strangely proud expression.
Giselle was slightly embarrassed rather than angry at her friend’s attitude of showing off her magic, which she didn’t usually see.
‘What the heck, this kid?’
“<The Fall of Gonadaltes>. You’ve probably seen it before. It’s the magic that cured the enemy’s poisoning when we fought the frost giants last time.”
This magic, whose history and lineage date back to ancient times, was a truly strange magic that transferred the pain, curse, and decline of the target to the caster.
When he first learned it, he was like, ‘What kind of magic is this?’ but now he is quite proud of this magic.
“…What!? That’s how you healed the frost giant?!”
I thought he had definitely analyzed the poison and created a detoxification spell, but he had actually healed it using such an ignorant method.
Giselle was speechless. She didn’t know whether to be amazed or dumbfounded.
“I knew you’d be impressed. Isn’t it great?”
“Ah, no. It’s great… but why on earth would you use this magic? No. Rather, you’re saying you’re going to heal everything with this magic?”
“okay.”
“…?”
Giselle was puzzled again.
It’s not that I didn’t understand what Wardanaz was saying.
There is a powerful magic that absorbs the plague, and it seems like you will be able to overcome it by absorbing this magic and using your own resistance.
The problem was that the sick people in the city were not necessarily sick only with the plague.
There are probably more symptoms than you think, but aren’t there some among them that you can’t ignore due to resistance?
‘Well… Wardanaz isn’t stupid, he must have thought of everything.’
Giselle decided to stop asking questions and trust her friend.
Because he was a friend who never made mistakes, especially when it came to this kind of strategy.
dripping-
“Are you there?”
“What… a, wizard?”
The door to a cramped townhouse in an alley opened, and a pale elf popped his head out.
The elf was surprised by the visit of Lee Han, who was dressed in what appeared to be a wizard’s attire.
Usually, wizards rarely visit poor places. When a wizard suddenly appears, I have a strong feeling that he is trying to extort money from me.
‘It’s a cursed plague.’
Lee Han opened his soul vision and clearly confirmed the other person’s symptoms.
I don’t know who in the city spread it, but judging by the rising energy, it was a curse.
“Have you recently been feeling tired for no reason, have you not felt energetic even after eating and sleeping well, and have you been feeling tired for no reason?”
“How about that?”
“Come on. Take my hand.”
Lee Han did not provoke the other person by talking too long or rambling on and on.
It was different from extracting information from suspicious criminals. If you were going to ask questions, you had to first put an end to the plague.
Pot!
The elf was startled by the sudden return of energy.
It’s amazing how my body came back to life just by holding hands and muttering something simple.
“Tch, you’re a healing wizard!”
“Yes. Are there any other sick people around you? If so, please let me know.”
“Please wait! I will bring you out right away!”
Lee Han stood in front of the alley and immediately began absorbing the plague from the people coming out.
‘It’s strange. The aura of this plague seems somehow familiar.’
Feeling a sense of familiarity for some reason, Lee Han placed the blame on Professor Mortum.
How many curses must the Black Magic School have managed for a curse you see for the first time to feel familiar?
“Okay. Go.”
“Oh, ohhhh…!”
“What denomination do you belong to?”
“Huh? Freezinga… Apha… Flaming…”
“Wordanaz. I don’t think I asked what denomination you belong to.”
Giselle whispered from behind. Lee Han realized it too late.
‘I guess you were asking where it came from.’
The sick were puzzled, but did not ask any further questions.
I didn’t want to provoke this holy saint for no reason.
“Next. Come. …Bam!”
Lee Han stumbled.
He absorbed it without thinking, but the opponent suffered minor internal bleeding. Lee Han muttered as he immediately casted healing magic.
“I see. There could be other symptoms as well.”
“……”
Giselle regretted not saying anything earlier.
I thought you would have thought about it…
‘Isn’t it too hasty for someone like Wardanaz?’
He was originally a guy who was far from making mistakes like this.
But this is what it looks like. I wondered if the fight with the evil spirits was making Wodanaz impatient.
…well, unless you’re impatient, you wouldn’t try to catch all the criminals in the city.
“Okay, are you okay?”
“Yes. It was cured right away. Next.”
Although there were some exceptions, Lee Han chose to charge forward instead of stopping.
Isn’t that why you learned healing magic, to use it in times like this?
Giselle’s expression hardened at the ignorant manner.
I didn’t know if I should hit him from behind and knock him out right now.
As I was struggling with my friendship with my friend, people started to flock to me like clouds.
Rumors of a wizard who could instantly cure the plague drew people from across the city to come.
And as the number of people increased, it was only natural that some people would think of Ain Rogard and ask questions.
“Have you come from Einrogard?”
‘this.’
Now, the students, including Lee Han, were wearing regular wizard costumes instead of the tattered Einrogard uniforms.
Nevertheless, there seemed to be some who thought of Ainrogard for his outstanding magical skills and selfless actions.
Lee Han was slightly worried.
Should I admit it or deny it?
The group was clearly disguised before entering Marheim City.
Knights as porters, wizards as merchants.
It was a natural choice, as the moment you drive a carriage with the Einrogard flag, criminals will come running from the end of the road to turn themselves in.
I could have denied it if I wanted to, but…
…the number of people infected with the plague is now greater than expected.
Wouldn’t it be better to just admit that it came from Ain Rogard?
Then, even those who had not yet come out could come out believing in the value of the name.
“No. These days, the wizards of Ainrogard go around slaughtering thieves.”
“That’s right. I heard that too. They go around the West, hunting down and killing guys with bounties. They kill them so viciously that the guys who were there run away to other places.”
“……”
Lee Han silently accepted the gazes from his friends and quietly focused on healing.
