Episode 192
“yes?”
“What do you mean?”
The Blue Dragon Tower students looked at the Lightning Walk professor as if asking what he was talking about.
-We are close!
That made the lightning-walking professor even more dumbfounded.
“Look! “Aren’t you trembling!”
“uh? “Aren’t you shivering because you’re cold?”
“… … ”
Of course, one way to tame it was to make it listen out of fear.
If it was an urgent situation, since there was no time to get to know them, I had to scare them into getting them to listen.
But now was not the time for that.
And if you tame it that way in the first place, wouldn’t the snow lizard always run away when Lee Han isn’t around?
It would have been absurd if they gave it to me to hold on during a blizzard and lost it in just one day.
“Become friends like the Black Turtle Tower students over there. “Stop scaring me!”
“weird… “I thought we became friends.”
“Didn’t we become friends?”
Despite the questions from the Blue Dragon Tower students, the snow lizard hiccuped and rolled its eyes.
The lightning-walking professor shook his head and called Lee Han.
“You come here.”
“It’s not my fault, but…” ”
“know. But things in this world are sometimes unreasonable.”
Professor Lightning Walk also knew that Lee Han had done nothing wrong.
It wasn’t Lee Han’s fault that the snow lizard, which was sensitive to magic, got scared and started shaking when he got close.
But things in this world are sometimes unreasonable.
Now that things were like this, Lee Han just had to stay away.
“sorry. Next time, I’ll bring a monster that is insensitive to magic.”
“oh. Is there such a thing?”
“… “It’s not that there aren’t any, but it may take some time to find them.”
“… … ”
Lee Han looked at his friends who were imitating snow lizards with a sullen face.
Professor Lightning Step comforted Lee Han, as if he felt sorry.
“But isn’t it better because you don’t do such ridiculous things?”
“professor. “I can hear everything.”
* * *
After the lecture, the students returned to the tower with the snow lizard they had become friends with.
Papa pa pa pa paak!
The snow lizard made a path through the mountain of snow in an instant.
Professor Lightning Walk, still feeling a little sorry, took Lee Han with him and headed to the cabin.
“Don’t worry too much. You can’t become friends with all monsters. That’s because snow lizards are very timid and sensitive to magic. “This won’t happen to monsters that are insensitive to magical power and are fearless.”
“A guy like that isn’t very rare… ”
The lightning-walking professor kicked his nephew’s shin under the table. The thunderous professor bit his beard and screamed inwardly.
“Bring something to drink.”
“yes… ”
Professor Thunderstruck opened the lid of the jar containing the milk, warmed it, and then mixed it with tea.
With an expressionless face, Lee Han slipped a warm scone into his coat pocket.
“The snow lizard’s time won’t last long. “Once the blizzard stops, there’s nothing to see.”
“When will it end? this week?”
“uh… ”
“hmm… ”
The two professors hesitated.
Lee Han suddenly became anxious.
Surely you won’t have to attend school through a blizzard for the rest of the semester?
“Because it’s something the students have to solve.”
“… “You are seniors, so why not resolve it well?”
“Well…” ”
The two dwarf professors continued to trail off.
Lee Han still seemed to believe that he was a senior, but the reality was a little different.
As the grades went up, the students’ skills improved.
And the quality and quantity of work students have to do has increased.
In such a situation, what if a heavy snow accident occurs at school?
-There’s a snowstorm, but I’m not too inconvenienced, so I’ll just take care of what I need to do first and then find out.
-There’s a snowstorm, but I’m okay, so I’ll start by experimenting with magic today and think about it.
… There was a high possibility that the same type of procrastination would occur.
‘no way.’
Lee Han noticed an ominous sign in the attitude of the two dwarf professors.
‘Are seniors putting off solving the problem?’
People’s natural habit is to put off things that are not urgent.
Lee Han realized the truth and became angry.
‘What grade caused the accident to be so irresponsible!’
“But if I wait, won’t it be resolved someday?”
“What if it doesn’t work out?”
“If not… “Isn’t the only way to solve it yourself?”
“If you solve it yourself, the professor in charge will appreciate it.”
Lee Han was speechless at the two professors’ ridiculous remarks.
How can freshmen solve problems that older students made while taking tests?
“That’s what you’re saying… ”
“okay. “From my perspective, it was a bit harsh.”
“Let’s agree together.”
The thunderous professor grumbled. The lightning-walking professor shrugged his shoulders and said,
“But nothing we said was wrong. “If older students are lazy, the only way is to step up and solve the problem.”
“Don’t really try to solve it. “I don’t know what kind of accident the older students had that led to this situation, but it won’t be easy to solve.”
Professor Thunderstruck gave a warning just in case.
I didn’t look into it in detail, but for an accident of this magnitude to occur, the scale of the magic would have to be significant.
It wasn’t something a freshman would step forward to solve.
“What are you looking at me for… Do you think I’m the type of person who would be reckless about something like that?”
“huh.”
“I can see it.”
“… … ”
Lee Han was slightly hurt by the two dwarf professors’ reactions.
Why this misunderstanding?
“no.”
“okay. i get it. I’ll trust you, so pack some snacks and go back. really. Even if you go back to the tower, don’t get close to the snow lizard.”
“And don’t be tempted by the reward. There is no reason to jump in to receive a reward from the professor in charge. Just wait for your seniors to solve it.”
“ah. “I understand.”
Lee Han grumbled, opened the cabin door, and went out.
The two dwarf professors looked behind them and muttered.
“Don’t you think he’ll jump in anyway?”
“I think so.”
To the two dwarf professors, Lee Han already seemed like a freshman who had devoted half his life to magic.
Even if you say no, you will eventually take the step because of your desire to explore magic!
‘Should I have stopped him stronger… ‘

dinner.
The students who had gathered for an additional lecture on black magic worked hard with their quills in Professor Mortum’s workshop.
The 2nd circle magic >Summon Bone Binding Sphere> is a higher version of the 1st circle magic >Summon Bone Hand>.
And the other series of the 1st circle magic >Lesser Paralysis Curse> that I learned at first, such as >Lesser Silence Curse>, >Lesser Darkness Curse>, >Lesser Fracture Curse>, etc.
That wasn’t all.
If you go to the poison series, there are various types of poisons other than >producing acid poisons>.
If you go to the summoning class, there are not only bones but also various undead summons.
This was the case even though I had not yet learned the death spirit series or the dark series magic, which is the essence of negative energy.
I saw the eyes of Guy Nando next to me rolling around. La Pad El also covered his head and groaned.
“Kollock. Of course, I’m not teaching you to learn everything now.”
Gaynando’s face brightened.
“Kollock. However, if you want to study black magic in earnest next year, it would be a good idea to master one or two of them perfectly. “The world of black magic is so wide that it requires selection and concentration.”
Gaynando’s face darkened.
“Cough… ah. These idiots made the school colder… ”
Professor Mortum chuckled and looked nervous.
Lee Han suddenly became curious and asked.
“Professor, do you know the reason for this accident?”
“Kollock. okay. “Because one of my students was involved in the accident.”
“!”
Lee Han had to make an effort to control his expression at the moment.
Because he showed so much hatred towards his fellow workshop senior, it wasn’t good for him.
“indeed… “How on earth did such a sad accident happen?”
“It’s because these kids are so greedy.”
Professor Mortum chuckled and explained simply.
One majoring in black magic, one majoring in summoning magic (elemental spirits), and one majoring in ancient magic.
-A spirit spell was found in the ruins! It’s imperfect, but if we restore this well, this year’s Imperial Summoning World will be our stage! I need your help as an expert in ancient magic!
-This looks like the Olodel school style. Black magic mixed in. Let’s call a black magic expert.
-Did you call me? for a moment. This summoning spell is incomplete, right? Why are you calling someone over something like this?
-don’t worry. Incomplete parts were completed with replacement orders. look. It’s stable, right?
-But as an expert in ancient magic, I think it’s still not powerful enough. I think it needs amplification. Let’s use the artifact of amplification. I have some research funds left over.
-for a moment.
-why? You’re not going to call me reckless like a coward, are you?
-That’s not it. If you’re going to amplify it, let’s amplify the sound energy as well. Looking at it, the spirit seems to be a mixture of cold and darkness, but the negative energy is so low that the balance seems dangerous.
-I heard you called a black magic specialist well. Very good idea.
“… … ”
“… … ”
The freshmen present wanted to kill the faceless senior.
Even Ymirg, the kindest person in the room, had a harsh look in his eyes.
Are they having a hard time starting this weekend because of crazy people like that?
“The professor will scold you very harshly!”
“Cough. It’s already happening. “They’re telling me to fix it quickly, but it’s not cool at all.”
Professor Mortum grumbled at Gainando’s words.
Seeing this, Lee Han’s hatred suddenly disappeared.
Of course, the other seniors could have been lazy, but at least the people involved were certain that they were being mistreated by the professors.
Lee Han was not harsh enough to hate such poor people.
“Cough. okay. “It wouldn’t be a bad idea for freshmen to take a look.”
“What do you mean?”
Lee Han, who was forgiving alone, was the first to notice dangerous signs.
“The scene of a failed summons. “It will be of great help to you.”
Professor Mortum was well aware that there were few students willing to learn black magic.
As such, it was true that he wanted to teach students about the charms of black magic.
Of course, I didn’t know if such a thing could really reveal the charm of black magic…
* * *
‘There was a path like this.’
Professor Mortum pounded on the walls of the main building, opened the ceiling, and ran through the main building in three dimensions without hesitation.
Lee Han wanted to memorize the path, but gave up. When I saw Professor Mortum chanting a spell, I realized that it was not a path that could be found with Lee Han’s magic skills.
“What floor is this?”
“Well, well… ”
The freshmen had already lost their sense of direction for a long time.
‘The chill… ‘
After leaving the passage, Lee Han could suddenly feel a hellish chill coming upon him.
The chill was qualitatively different from the snowstorm outside.
A chill that seems to spread out from the magical power itself, taking on the attribute of cold.
And then I heard the sounds of the undead.
-■■■■■…
-■■■■…
“omg!”
Gainando hid behind Lee Han. When Professor Mortum waved his wand, his frozen corpses melted away.
“Why are there undead roaming the hallways of the main building?”
“Cough. “This happened because I summoned the wrong spirit.”
This would not have happened if the spirits were summoned through the correct procedures and processes.
Because of the incomplete spell, the arbitrary interpretation on its behalf, and the amplification of artifacts and other things, the thing summoned to this floor was closer to a runaway monster than a spirit that could communicate.
A monster that transforms the surrounding space into another dimension just by standing still.
Since the basic spirit was a mixture of cold and darkness, it was natural for undead to emerge from the hallway space where the dimensions had melted.
“Can’t we just go inside and kill them?”
Lee Han was impressed by Gai Nando’s innocent question.
‘If there were seniors around here, they would hear about it and try to kill them.’
“Kollock. That’s right. “Please wait a moment.”
Professor Mortum held his cane and walked somewhere. Anyone could see it was the back of a professor trying to scold an ugly student.
Lee Han clicked his tongue and looked at the other side of the hallway as if he felt sorry.
The strange sight of frost and darkness mixing together was honestly spectacular.
‘It would be beautiful if it weren’t for the heavy snow falling all over the school.’
-Come in…
“?”
-Come in… Those who want power…
Lee Han paused when someone sent him a telepathic message from the dimension on the other side of the hallway.
And then he shouted.
“professor! “Someone from inside the dimension will tell me!”
-… What a coward!
