Episode 285
The incident where he almost got trapped while trying to rob the kitchen yesterday served as a lesson to Lee Han.
In Einrogard, doubt everything!
‘I didn’t know there would be water cannons flying.’
All you have to do is just calmly jump over the installed obstacles.
Isn’t it too easy?
Lee Han naturally expected that there would be additional traps.
Thanks to this, only the students who dared to let down their guard and run away from Einrogard were suffering.
“Wardanaz! So… ”
“Wardanaz didn’t shoot it!”
“ah. okay?”
“… … ”
“professor! “I guess the spirit was summoned by mistake!”
“I installed it, so try to avoid it.”
“yes? What is that… ”
“It would be better to focus while chatting. “If you fail, you lose points.”
The students, who had started off with great momentum, became confused, slowed down and dispersed.
I realized that just running fast is not enough.
If you speed up for no reason and get caught by surprise and fall off your horse, the damage will be greater.
“Gather here! “Let’s go this way!”
“There’s no trap, right?”
“This side was just fine! Many people gathered together at once… ”
Grumble!
“Don’t try to memorize it. Because it wasn’t so easy to place.”
“no… professor!!”
The student, whose hair was burnt out, looked at the lightning-walking professor in bewilderment.
Why on earth are you so serious about obstacles?
Why not just set up hurdles that can be jumped over?
“Everyone this way.”
Lee Han called his friends together.
I felt this last time too, but it was basically advantageous to form a group and pass the vehicle training lecture.
Not only does it become easier to withstand attacks coming from outside as the size increases, but increasing the wizard’s hands also means that the magic that can be used increases.
“Don’t rush, let’s just go at a quick pace. Asan. You take the left one. Yoner. I’ll take the right one, please. Neilia. “Please take care of the back.”
“Am I in the front?”
Gainando asked naturally.
“no. “Just stay next to me and use magic when I tell you.”
“indeed. It’s like a trump card just in case. Right?”
“… … ”
“… “Uh, huh.”
Friends were impressed by Guynando’s positive attitude.
“let’s go. “Once you’re late, it’s hard to catch up.”
Lee Han and his friends nodded once and left.
When Professor Lightning Walk saw it, he thought highly of it.
‘You planned it well in a short period of time.’
Breathing with other people while riding a horse was completely different from breathing with your bare body on flat ground.
As we had to keep pace with each other while dealing with harsh words, it was important not only to handle words well but also to understand each other.
We’re not even top students, but we got together so quickly.
“right!”
Ihan, who felt the flow of magical power, spoke first, and Yoner immediately took out a potion.
If you cast a spell on a shaky horse, you might fail. In that case, a pre-made potion was safer.
Clink!
With the sound of a potion bottle breaking, the magic missiles that were flying were scattered.
‘>Potion of Nullifying Lesser Magic>.’
“left!”
Asan waved his cane as if he had been waiting. As she had prepared earlier, her magic was cast safely.
The lump of mud that was flying with the strong wind changed its trajectory.
There was no need for Lee Han to tell him about the attack coming from behind. Nilia noticed first and immediately shot down the arrow.
‘It’s a good start!’
‘If it continues like this… !’
The friends could feel that they were on the same page even without exchanging glances.
A sense of unity that can only be felt through perfect breathing!
Sigh!
But the crisis was only just beginning.
A green mist spread from behind and flew in.
It was an obstacle that could not be dropped by shooting it with a bow or blocked with magic. Nilia’s hand stopped for a moment.
“Evaporize!”
When it seemed like Nilia couldn’t respond, Lee Han immediately swung his cane. Green mist dispersed in the air.
Professor Lightning Walk was surprised when he saw that.
‘Evaporation?!’
Evaporation properties, a deeper area of elemental properties of water.
As it was a difficult and convoluted area, it was certainly not something that a first-year student could handle.
Moreover, while balancing on a horse, he blows away a large amount of fog all at once.
It was new to me, but it really surprised me every time I saw it.
Talent is talent, but that passion for studying magic without any rest is really…
Papa pa pa pa paak!
“!!!”
This time, a crisis occurred on the Asan side.
He became nervous when more than ten magic spheres flew at him at the same time.
“Soil… Cough, Cough!”
Using magic in battle was more difficult than expected as it required a high degree of concentration.
Even the most experienced wizard could make a mistake at any time if he or she was not professionally trained in magical combat.
Although this was not a combat situation, it was enough to make a first-year student make a mistake.
“Shield, unfold!”
Lee Han quickly summoned water and transformed it into an elongated shield. There was a dull sound as the magic sphere crashed down on top of it.
“I used up all the potion!”
Gainando shouted urgently. While the other side was blocking, attacks were coming from the direction of Yoner as well.
“Blink!”
It was only after I blocked the attack with lightning that I was able to take a breather.
When he had time to catch his breath, Lee Han spoke to his friends.
“Everyone worked hard. “We were able to break through thanks to everyone working together.”
“… … ”
“… … ”
“… … ”
“Why is everyone like that?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
Friends waved their hands.
… I think I would have gotten through it even if Wardanaz had run alone…
* * *
As time passed, students who succeeded in breaking through began to appear one by one from various places.
No matter how many obstacles there were, if you kept hitting them, you had no choice but to improve your blocking skills.
“Pick up the speed!”
Shiles of the Richmond family signaled with a big wave of his arm.
Not only is he an excellent horseman himself, but his friends who ride with Shiles are also among the best horseback riding skills in the top class.
Since the students were so confident with horses that they enjoyed riding horses and playing competitive games during their free time, it was natural for them to stand out.
While Lee Han’s group formed a solid formation and chose a forward attack, Shiles’ group quickly increased their speed and chose to break through.
In the process, one or two unlucky people might leave, but I planned to take that into account.
‘I will get the best grade in this lecture!’
Shiles ran away with the sound of the horse’s hooves rapidly hitting the ground.
In a situation where there were obstacles everywhere, it was impossible to increase speed like this with ordinary skill and courage. Shiles was certainly an excellent horseman.
“It’s the turning point!”
‘at las!’
Shiles’ heart swelled at the thought of taking the turning point visible from afar and returning.
At that moment, a huge monster appeared from the ground with a heavy vibration.
“… ?!”
Before the dust cleared, a loud shout was heard from behind.
“It’s Hydra!”
“what?! Hydra?!”
The students recoiled in surprise.
However, when the dust cleared, it was not Hydra that appeared inside.
It was just an ordinary sand octopus.
“Everything, I’m glad. “It wasn’t Hydra.”
“Not so lucky!”
The huge sand octopus was by no means an easy monster.
Of course, compared to Hydra, it does not have lethal poison and is a much less ferocious monster, but in this situation…
Sigh!
The long legs of the sand octopus flew out like a whip. With a sharp sound, sand rose up and blocked the view.
“It’s my favorite monster, so don’t attack it!”
Professor Lightning Walk said happily from behind.
It was rewarding to raise them while feeding them expensive feed.
“professor! “No matter what, this is outrageous!”
One student who tried to argue was entangled in the octopus’ legs and dragged away.
“When it’s time to argue, think about quickly reaching a turning point and getting out.”
“It wasn’t Hydra.”
Lee Han, who arrived late, muttered as he looked at the chaos taking place at the turning point.
Suddenly, a large monster came out from below, so I started thinking about the Hydra I heard about last time.
“Wardanaz! It’s not a hydra! “I can’t believe you’re using such tricks!”
In response to the protest coming from the other side, Lee Han tried to reply that it was a mistake.
However, Asan and Gainando answered first.
“The fool who was fooled is foolish!”
“Where are those who trust others in competition? “You lose because you have such a complacent mind!”
“Ugh… ! “You bastards!”
“… … ”
Lee Han stared at the backs of the two’s heads and then looked away.
What was more important now than resolving the misunderstanding was reaching the turning point and getting out of the situation.
‘We have to do it as quickly as possible.’
As time passed, the number of other students attracting attention decreased, and the level of difficulty increased.
“Haze!”
One of the Black Turtle Tower students had a talent for illusion magic, and managed to summon an illusion amidst the confusion.
It wasn’t a very good fantasy. The shape was blurred and not clear, so anyone who looked closely could see that it was an illusion.
However, in such a chaotic situation, it was easy to be fooled at first glance. Moreover, isn’t the opponent a monster?
Sigh!
However, the sand octopus did not pay attention to the illusion and just stretched out its legs and grabbed one of the students and walked away.
“!”
Lee Han realized this when he saw that.
‘It’s not something you perceive with your eyesight!’
Lee Han, who had studied fantasy magic quite rigorously, knew that fantasy magic was divided into several categories.
The same illusion as before is illusion magic that uses vision.
It was a magic that created an illusion by distorting the surrounding air with heat or freezing the air with cold.
But it was meaningless if the other person couldn’t see it with their own eyes. In reality, the sand octopus had half of its body buried in the ground.
‘I said the visibility was too good, but… ‘
It was clear that the enemy was approaching from the vibrations on the ground.
In that case, that type of fantasy was meaningless.
‘Farhait’s illusion magic doesn’t work. Way… ‘
Lee Han prepared to use >Gonadaltes’ Invisibility Cloak> and the Invisibility Necklace.
Unlike Farhaite’s illusion magic that creates illusions with heat, Gonadaltes’ invisibility cloak and invisibility necklace were illusion magic that directly approached perception.
“Cloak, swallow me!”
“Wardanaz. “It’s impossible to keep pace on a horse!”
“Know. Let’s break through one by one. “Get other people’s attention!”
Instead of trying to break through as a group, Lee Han chose to break through in groups.
It might take some more time, but it was safe. The area of invisibility magic was not wide enough to include all of the horse riding friends.
“let’s go!”
Ihan set off with Yoner. The other friends dispersed to attract attention in case the sand octopus didn’t get suspicious.
Whoa!
“!”
The sand octopus suddenly inflated its body. Ihan and Yoner became nervous due to the unexpected situation.
Shhh!
As if sensing something unusual, the sand octopus began to emit strong winds.
The wind mixed with sand whipped around the students like a storm. It was difficult to maintain visibility due to the sudden gusts of wind.
‘I’m in big trouble!’
Even though Ihan himself could hold on, the horse Yoner was riding was confused by the sudden sandstorm and was struggling.
The moment you escape from invisibility, the sand octopus will notice your approach.
The moment Ihan tried to tie up Yoner’s horse by force, help came from behind.
It was Gainando.
“Get itchy!!!”
Gainando, who threw a curse spell with great vigor, rushed forward without stopping.
Seeing Gainando running like crazy, the sand octopus stopped paying attention to the other students and focused on Gainando.
The cheeky curse magic offended the sand octopus.
“Gainando… !”
Lee Han was really surprised.
I knew that Gai Nando had a talent for black magic, but I never thought he would be so active in a situation like this.
“Lee Han!”
“i get it! It passes quickly while you’re looking at it… ”
“help me!!! “This guy doesn’t listen!!!”
Guyando left those words and rushed forward, no, he was dragged away.
“… … ”
Yoner, who had barely calmed down and returned, asked Ihan.
“Didn’t Guyando shout something?!”
“He told me to break through quickly because I would attract attention.”
“!?”
Yoner was surprised.
That can’t be possible?
