Episode 458
Poison to feed the giants.
Why?
“Isn’t the alchemy test partner a giant?”
“It definitely is.”
“What are you talking about… ”
Lee Han looked puzzled and asked.
“It has nothing to do with testing.”
“okay. Wardanaaz.”
“Trust us.”
The friends waved their hands as if they understood Lee Han’s answer in a different way, telling him not to worry.
“No, it really has nothing to do with the test… ”
“Okay, okay.”
“I said I understand.”
Regardless, the friends opened the alchemy book and began reading >Precautions when using potions on highly resistant targets>.
Since the test opponent was a giant, it was better to make a potion that was as powerful and penetrating as possible.
The princess glanced at her surroundings, tilted her head, continued to think, and eventually closed the book she was reading and opened the same book as her friends. Priest Sianna, who was sitting next to her, had already opened the book.
Batrek, an alchemy student from White Tiger Tower, was surprised to see it as he passed by.
‘It looks like the test opponent is a giant!’
Batrek turned around and ran off to tell his friends this secret information.
After a while, Yoner came back from his shift and asked Ihan.
“Is it true that the opponent for this alchemy test is a giant?”
“… … ”
* * *
“This test is about making >Dobruk’s Waterscape Potion>.”
>Dobruk’s Aquatic Potion> was a defensive potion that preserved the energy of life even in places filled with negative and dark energy.
A very useful potion not only for warlocks who work in such places for a long time, but also for adventurers and wizards who may enter such places.
“Is this what giants drink?”
“Should it also work on giants?”
“??”
The thunderous professor was taken aback by the students’ questions, which suddenly increased the level of difficulty several times.
‘what? Did you get it from Wardanaz?’
As far as Professor Thunder Walk knows, there has never been a case where students wanted to raise the difficulty level of the test on their own.
Except for one student whose family name starts with Wo and ends with Z.
“It’s not?”
“uh? Isn’t it? To the giant… ”
“Unless you’re a giant…” aha! It seems like another race with strong resistance. “Wodanaz is crazy, so he deliberately practiced as a giant.”
“It’s behind me.”
“S-sorry. “Habitually.”
Professor Thunderstruck realized that a fake rumor had been spreading without his knowledge.
It was a common occurrence.
Einrogard is a place where strange rumors arise whenever you close your eyes.
“I don’t know what you heard, but you will be the one to test the performance of the potion you made. “After everyone drinks their potion, come out here and walk.”
The thunderous professor opened the back of the classroom and pointed to the dark blue shade that had been prepared in advance.
It was a place where dark elements and negative energies were mixed, so it was a place where you could feel your vitality drained away with just a few steps.
“ah. Wardanaz you… “You are excluded.”
“yes?”
Lee Han was surprised.
why?
Behind him, the White Tiger Tower students nodded as if they knew that would happen.
“The giant was only for Wodanaz.”
“Is this really reasonable… ”
‘What’s reasonable, you crazy people?’
The thunderous professor looked at Lee Han as if he was asking something obvious.
“You’ll be fine even if you don’t take the potion, so the test can’t be done. “Don’t drink it, but submit it to me.”
“… … ”
Lee Han clicked his tongue.
It was a chance to eat it raw!
“professor. But now I have to get ingredients from outside, but it’s raining too much. If you give me more time… ”
“Take out the reagent from the side cupboard and use it.”
“????”
“… Why are you surprised? “Did you really expect me to ask you to get reagents outside in this weather?”
The alchemy test was surprisingly conducted using common sense.
The students were taken aback by the appearance of the thunderous professor who prepared all the reagents and tools.
-Isn’t it a trap?
-It’s a trap. be careful. The tool may suddenly break.
-The reagent may have gone bad.
But surprisingly, nothing much happened until the end.
While his friends were making a fuss, Lee Han, who worked with the mindset that ‘if there’s a trap, it will come out if I try it’, was the first to complete the potion.
Professor Thunderwalk carefully checked the potion and took a sip.
“Full score.”
No matter how many times I heard it, it was always nice to hear.
Lee Han nodded.
“thank you.”
“really. You say you hang out with giants? You’ll take care of it, but be careful when making potions for giants. “It has to be made much more toxic.”
“… No, what the hell… !”
How many hours have passed?!
* * *
Ogoldos, a second-year student at the Black Magic School, checked his back with nervous movements.
“I said there isn’t one. Ogoldos.”
“joy. “How can I believe it?”
“I said I was sorry… “I’ll stop teasing you.”
Coholty apologized.
Since Ogoldos went missing with his first-year junior during this vacation and returned, Coholti had stuck notes on Ogoldos’ back several times saying, “I survived thanks to my first-year junior.”
Because of this, Ogoldos now shows caution by growling whenever Coholti approaches.
“It’s a good thing. It’s a good thing. I will further reduce the number of juniors who do not have many. If he quits, you will definitely tell the professor. okay?”
“Oh, no. Ogoldos also said he would forgive me!”
“joy. I do not know.”
Ogoldos forgave with his mouth, but his face was full of dissatisfaction. Dilett flapped his wings and kicked Coholti in the shins.
“evil!”
“You solved it with help in the first place.”
“Well, that’s a little different…” ”
Ogoldos, who was listening next to him, perked up his ears.
I thought I would feel better if I heard Senior Coholty’s ugly failure story.
“I want to hear it. “Senior Delet.”
“good. “If this makes you feel better.”
Direth glared at Coholti as if he were pitiful and began to tell him in detail what had happened.
When I told him why winter had come to the Ainrogard corridor in early summer and what kind of madmen had summoned the king of the frost giants, Ogoldos looked at his senior with disdain.
“… This is not a mistake I made alone. Ogoldos.”
“yes… ”
“There were others too! “And I have little responsibility!”
“yes… ”
“Get ready. Everyone, stop chattering.”
Delet opened the chest, took out the intact bones, and scattered them everywhere.
It was to prepare for this midterm exam.
Other schools pushed students hard from the first year to harden them, but black magic was a little different.
If the black magic tests in the first semester of the first year were to filter out the gems, the black magic tests in the second semester of the first year were…
“But honestly, if you learned this much, wouldn’t you quit even if it was unfair?”
“All my classmates quit except me.”
“… “Yeah, that’s right.”
… It was some kind of inducement.
Black magic is this great, black magic is this fun, and black magic is capable of things like this.
So please don’t quit!!
Even freshmen who were struggling in the first semester started to think, ‘Oh, should I quit the worst first?’ when the second semester became physically and mentally difficult.
And usually, the ‘worst thing’ had a high chance of containing black magic.
“Is this enough?”
“An undead wave is enough.”
Ogoldos answered with a confident voice.
Ogoldos himself was confident because he experienced something similar in the second semester of his freshman year.
The appearance of a commander-in-chief pushing through waves of countless undead.
There are few things as intense as that.
“uh… Well, by the way, Delet. “If we use up all the reagents, what should we do for this semester’s experiment?”
“… “I’ll talk to the professor and make up for it somehow.”
Delet said while suppressing a sigh.
Even though it was supplemented during vacation, the Black Magic School’s budget was far from sufficient.
Although Principal Skeleton was the master of black magic, he was extremely anti-black magic, and the Empire was particularly picky about research and experiments on black magic.
-Why would researching the flesh golem’s defense be beneficial to the empire?
-I, I mean, defeat the empire’s enemies with stronger summons…
-There are many other golems, so does it really have to be a flesh golem? Isn’t it possible to replace it with summoning magic?
-… By any chance, what is the examiner’s name?
Coholti comforted Direth, who was sighing.
“Don’t worry too much. Still, it is rare to have an impression as strong as this on juniors.”
“That’s right.”
“Except him, Wardanaz.”
“… … ”
As Delet glared at him, Coholti quickly made an excuse.
“Oh, no. But honestly… I had a grapple with the king of the frost giants, but he wouldn’t be impressed by the undead wave… ! “I heard you’re the principal’s favorite student!”
This wasn’t the seniors’ fault.
You must have followed the skeletal headmaster and witnessed all kinds of evil magic secrets, so how could it be more impactful?
“And even if he’s not impressed, he’ll keep listening. You listen to all schools of magic. “You will also hear black magic.”
“well. “Is that really the case?”
Ogoldos spoke thoughtfully.
“No matter how great a wizard is, there are limits to a person’s abilities. The last time we talked, it seemed close. It wouldn’t be strange if I stopped practicing black magic… ”
“This bastard is unlucky now…” Then you must have done well! “A guy called a senior locked us up together and then carried us out??”
Ogoldos also burst into tears as Coholti mistreated him.
“Why is it coming out now… ”
“hey. stop. stop.”
Delet made everyone shut up with an annoyed face.
But I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Among the first-year juniors, there was no one who was not precious, but losing Wardanaz among them would have been truly heartbreaking.
“… “Did you ever mention anything about Wardanaz’s favorite food when you were locked up together?”
“… … ”
“… … ”
“what. “You bastards.”
* * *
When I opened the classroom door, what was beyond was a pitch-black other dimension.
Normally, he would have been surprised, but since it was midterm exam period, Lee Han reacted calmly.
‘hmm. I guess it’s a test.’
The dark plain was filled with an evil and sinister energy. It seemed like a black magic type of great magic was being prepared.
And white waves began to appear in the distance. Gainando, who was yawning and rubbing his eyes, opened his eyes wide and rubbed them again.
“I, I, I, I… !”
“… … ”
It was not a white wave, but an army of undead.
The first graders were shocked when they saw the army of undead suddenly rushing towards them.
“Let’s use Rafadel as bait!”
“You son of a bitch!”
Rafael, who had been next to him but suddenly became bait, got angry.
Lee Han’s mind spun as he saw the undead army approaching from afar, filling up the area with no place to escape.
How to deal with that now?
‘Think about it. There must be a way.’
“uh… “Isn’t it just a test, not a test?”
Ymirg cautiously expressed his opinion.
To be honest, it was too difficult to be considered a test.
“It must be a test.”
“Don’t run away from reality!”
However, both Guynando and Rafad El responded negatively.
This was because it seemed quite possible in Einrogard.
Meanwhile, Lee Han took action.
“I call you from the abyss… ”
“Are you calling that pouting spirit?!”
As Lee Han chanted the spell, Gai Nando became angry and asked.
Lee Han shook his head. Even if Per Kuntra was called up in the current situation, there was a high possibility that he would not be able to play a significant role.
As the number of enemies was large, Perkuntra’s firepower was excessive.
“Wizard of the old palace, servant of the king, slayer of tyrants, those who have made a pact with you call on you as blood oaths!”
The undead wizard who had resisted the Ghoul King during this vacation slowly appeared.
-If it wasn’t an emergency, I would have been angry, but it really is an emergency!
“test… No, please help me!”
Lee Han decided to explain later and quickly shouted.
