Chapter 88
“Why are you saying that now!”
Perkuntra was taken aback when Lee Han, who had been polite no matter how ferocious and violent the spirits showed him, became angry.
Ah… no. You didn’t ask…
“You don’t even know what’s most important to students when you’re dealing with students at school!”
One class wasn’t such a big deal…
Perkuntra made an excuse as if it was unfair.
Having lived here for a long time, even Ferkund knew roughly how mages were taught.
Isn’t it like huddled together in a lecture room and listening to professors talk about this and that?
It didn’t make much of a difference that a story like that was omitted once or twice. Magic is about constant effort and brilliant talent, not whether you take a class once or twice…
“You have to do your homework. Unsubmitted is absolutely not allowed.”
At Lee Han’s words, Yoner nodded his head with eyes burning with determination. Her red hair swayed back and forth.
Most of the lectures at the magic school had no conscience, but among them, the < Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic > lecture was particularly lacking in conscience.
-This is the magic formation production plan I submitted to the empire when I was young. Take a look at this design and figure out what the total cost would have been.
A mad professor who gave a crazy assignment to calculate how much money would have gone into it by next week after reading the design for the thick magic circle.
Yihan and Yoner gritted their teeth and stayed up all night cursing at the professor.
After completing the assignment, I could never fail to submit it.
If I did, I’d be so offended that I wouldn’t be able to sleep for weeks!
…Are you doing this for an assignment?
When Perkuntra asked as if he was unfair, Yihan and Yoner turned their heads.
Originally, young wizards who were usually obedient, saying that it was scary when a good person got angry, were stinging at Perkuntra when they glared at him.
that’s right Tasks can be important. sorry.
“Tell me the time.”
After hearing the time from Perkuntra, Lee Han stared at the ceiling impatiently.
There was only about an hour and a half left before the morning lecture on < Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic >.
“Let’s hurry. Mr. Perkuntra. Please show me the way out.”
No… No.
The two young wizards really glared at each other with murderous intent.
Perkuntra hastily made an excuse.
I mean, I made a promise!
“What promise?”
To stop the wizard who summoned me and the students escaping this punishment room! I can’t point out the way out. When I left in the first place, I was thinking of sealing me here for a while and telling me to leave.
Lee Han was devastated.
Even Lee Han did not know how complex and bizarre the structure of the school’s underground punishment room was.
Without Perkuntra’s help, there was no guarantee of getting out in time.
Because of his nervousness, Lee Han failed to control his emotions.
“Oh why are you so unhelpful! Then why did you sign the contract!”
……
Perkuntra’s pride was slightly hurt.
Neither the fight with the dragon or the demon nor the bloody battle with the Lich principal could damage Perkuntra’s pride.
However, the words of the young contractor hurt Perkuntra’s pride.
Perkuntra made excuses over and over again without realizing it.
It’s because it’s a special situation called the punishment room, so if you go outside and summon me later, my ability…
“I understand. So how do I seal it?”
…just order me to be locked up here for a while.
Lee Han did as Perkuntra ordered.
With that order, Perkuntra was banned from leaving this forgotten punishment room for a while.
“let’s go. Yoner.”
Don’t forget to summon me when you go outside! My ability is not only this!
“yes. yes. All right!”
don’t forget! Don’t forget! are you listening Don’t forget…
* * * It was
an urgent
situation, but Lee Han and Yoner tried to stay as calm as possible.
I drew a map going back and forth between the stairs and the hallways.
“It’s blocked.”
“Go back. The corridors here are completely blocked.”
“I think we should go down two floors and try again.”
Dalgrak!
Bone summons came running from afar. Lee Han asked.
“Was there a road?”
Moon-clack-clack!
The Bone Summons actively expressed their intentions. It meant there was no way. Lee Han clicked his tongue.
Lee Han and Yoner, as well as the Bone Summons, were looking for a way, but progress was slow.
This punishment room was like an ant nest.
I couldn’t tell which of the stairs in the hallway led up. Some stairs led to a dead-end, closed punishment cell, some led to a winding path down, and some led to a spiral in place.
For some reason, as Lee Han walked, he remembered the headmaster’s face.
It might have been because of my mood, but for some reason I had a suspicion that the headmaster made the skeleton himself.
“Back down the hallway… no. for a moment. What did you bring?”
Lee Han was taken aback.
I didn’t notice it because I was in a hurry, but the size of the bone summoner, which only had a front hand, had grown.
What did you ask…?!
Cheer up!
The bone minions bumped and tumbled among themselves, eventually fitting together.
Broad ribs and long tailbone. And even the bones of the hind limbs.
Although the skull and feet were missing, Lee Han could draw a familiar figure.
it was a leopard
‘Was it a leopard’s bone?’
Until now, of course, I thought he was human…
Come to think of it, no matter how unpopular a black magic professor was, he wouldn’t have given a human hand bone to a freshman.
‘I’m ashamed of myself for thinking it was a human hand bone.’
The Bone Summoner, or the Leopard Bone Summoner, confidently tapped its feet.
As he grew in size, he seemed more confident.
But in the absence of a skull and an arm, such confidence seemed rather grotesque.
“Did Professor Mortum hide the bones in the corner of the punishment room?”
“huh.”
Lee Han nodded, feeling embarrassed.
Yoner was looking at Lee Han with worried eyes.
The meaning of the eyes was simple.
-I have to keep learning dark magic under that professor, is that okay?
“…It will be fine. maybe.”
Lee Han turned his attention to the leopard bone summoner.
Anyway, the bigger it is, the faster it must have been.
“Go this way and check all the roads. Got it?”
“That is a waste of effort.”
“!!”
Yihan and Yoner looked around in amazement. Then the voice came out again.
“This way. this way.”
There was a banging sound from inside the door.
Surprisingly, there was one student in the private room next to the hallway.
“They said they were going back and forth noisily, but why did you enter the punishment room without knowing the way?”
“I have a long story. Why are you in the punishment room?”
“This is also a long story. What grade are you in?”
“I’m new here.”
“……”
Silence suddenly returned in the room. Lee Han was puzzled.
what?
“Aren’t you the freshman brought to the punishment room the other day? Escaped through an underground passage and got caught?”
“Then, senior, are you the one who was caught robbing the principal’s secret warehouse…? What did you do again this time?”
Lee Han was surprised.
At that time, the motive of the punishment room is here.
“Can’t you lower your voice? What a boast.”
“What is there to be ashamed of? I came here after robbing the professor’s warehouse.”
“……”
The student in the private room was at a loss for words.
I don’t know what the heck he did to get here after robbing the professor’s warehouse, but it was really beyond imagination.
The freshman escaped through the underground passage last time, and this time he robbed the professor’s storage room and flowed into the punishment room…
Next time, he might fly out of the school and escape.
Yoner whispered to Yihan.
“Who are you?”
“He’s the senior who moved into the next room the other day, and he likes to treat you comfortably.”
“It’s not that I like to be comfortable, but… that’s it. What will you say? What are you doing in the hallway anyway?”
“I was looking for a way to escape.”
“…now it’s not surprising. okay. Did you find your way?”
Lee Han could not answer. The student in the private room smiled as if he knew that.
“It won’t be easy. The road up here is usually not complicated.”
“senior. I’ll let you go, so don’t you want to go out with me?”
At Lee Han’s suggestion, the students in the private room burst into laughter.
“How stupid! I’m not saying that because I’ve never escaped from the inside. Do you know what will come out when you open this door?”
“A lightning spirit?”
“…What are you. how did you know??”
The student in the private room was embarrassed and stuttered.
“I met him coming up from the bottom.”
“……”
The student in the private room stumbled in dizziness. I couldn’t even imagine how he got away with it.
“You… what the hell… no. done. I’m sorry anyway, but I have no intention of escaping.”
“Why?”
“Because I will be released in six hours.”
“……”
This was the reason Lee Han had no choice but to understand.
“Then could you give me some advice on the way out?”
A similar answer to the question posed by Lee Han came back.
The student in the private room said in a mocking voice.
“Why should I teach you that?”
“…It’s ruined.”
“??”
“Last time I tempted you with something to eat, but this time there is nothing to eat.”
Lee Han looked at Yoner and put on a frustrated expression.
“You’re flirting! What do you look at people for!”
A student in the private room heard the conversation and became furious.
It was a senior’s teaching for juniors, but when he said that, it seemed like he just passed on because he was hungry.
So sweet!
During the conversation, the leopard bone pet touched Lee Han. He meant to give the next order quickly.
“Wait…”
“Wait.”
The student in the private room opened his mouth.
“Is that a Bone Summoner?”
“however.”
“…Are you learning dark magic under Professor Mortum?”
“however…?”
“……”
There was an awkward, heavy silence.
After a while, a piece of paper was pushed out from under the door.
It was a simple map that could lead to the exit from here drawn on the fly.
“…receive. cheer up.”
“……”
Although he got the map, Lee Han wasn’t happy at all. For some reason, an ominous future loomed.
* * *
‘It’s late!’
Lee Han gritted it.
In the far hallway, the professor was coming out of the classroom.
Even though I ran like that, I was late.
He wasn’t a professor who checked attendance, but considering his strict personality, if he went and said, “I’m late, professor, but I’ve done my assignment,” there was a high possibility that he would answer something like, “How can a student who can’t keep the timeline submit his assignment?”
Yoner let out a heavy breath with a look of despair on his face. I was out of breath from running all the way here.
“Leehan… no. no. no.”
Yoner, who was about to call Lee Han, hurriedly grabbed Lee Han’s arm.
Lee Han had taken out his cane and was aiming at the professor’s back.
“That’s not allowed!”
“what?”
“It’s dangerous to attack the professor!”
“I’m not trying to attack you. That’s what you’re aiming for.”
Lee Han pointed with his finger at the pile of assignments floating next to the professor.
It was a pile of assignments from students during this lecture.
“I’m going to put it in there.”
“…is that possible?”
“huh.”
Lee Han said firmly and raised his staff.
The many hardships Professor Voladi had suffered so far might have been for the sake of this moment.
Suffering grows wizards.
At this moment, Lee Han fully accepted the teachings of the magic school.
