Chapter 125
When Lee Han saw the fallen mouse, excuses flowed out of Lee Han’s mouth without realizing it.
“I am not the Dragon Lich Principal.”
The friends who were near Lee Han looked at him as if he was talking about something. The red fox stretched out its paw as if to look ahead.
The mouse jumped up and started running away.
“…for a moment! Let’s duel! Honor like a noble…”
Lee Han habitually mentioned honor before hesitating.
Come to think of it, this was a trick that only worked well for the Blue Dragon Tower friends.
– Like a noble, clean up the bowl you ate from.
-Look up information about reagents in the book like a noble.
-Would you like to walk on top of that trap like a noble?
Talking about the honor of a nobleman to a mouse would not work. Lee Han quickly changed his words.
“…Keep your honor like a mouse!”
Of course, the mouse didn’t listen and ran away into the forest. The red fox looked at Lee Han pathetically. Maybe it was because he turned into an animal, but his eyes hurt a little more.
“I can’t help it. Let’s chase.”
From what I could see, that mouse must have been the owner of this forest.
I didn’t know why the mouse learned magic and became the owner of the forest, but Lee Han just accepted it.
…If it was a magic school, it could have been.
“Stand there! I challenge you to a duel!”
Chasing after the mouse and shouting a duel made me feel ashamed, but it didn’t matter now.
Sharkan clattered and chased the mouse trail.
Perhaps he knew that the mice were being chased, so he launched a counterattack.
“!”
A vine with fruit on the side of the road suddenly changed its appearance and turned into a ferocious bald eagle.
Lee Han responded immediately.
“Space, be aware. And… spring up!”
At the same time as the space awareness spell was memorized, the situation around Lee Han quickly came into my head. The traces of the mice running away were clearly visible.
A large mass of water was quickly created, and according to Lee Han’s will, it turned into water beads and started spinning around.
It started with a simple 1-circle < Water Creation > spell, but it quickly progressed to changing shape and maintaining motion.
The red fox Yoner, who was watching from the side, was startled and raised his tail.
‘!?’
While my friend couldn’t see me, I couldn’t help but be surprised that I kept going up a few steps ahead of the pre-learning about water magic.
Of course, Lee Han had been adept at using water magic from before, but
wasn’t that a faster, more complex, and more elaborate process than the one we had seen before?
Are you okay?
“Don’t worry. Because I can catch that much!”
Lee Han immediately attacked the bald eagle, as if he understood the surprised reaction of his friends in a different way.
The bald eagle, hit by a heavy bead of water in a sharp trajectory, returned to the thicket with a pop.
“Sharkan. Get the guy! Don’t let me run away!”
With a splash, the fountain next to it began to bubbling up.
The water that had been pooling in the well took shape like an oversized slime and tried to pounce on it.
“Shine!”
Lee Han immediately swung his staff and struck < Lightning Generation >.
Although it was Circle 1, it was suitable for this situation as it is magic that handles the most destructive and fast lightning among the elements.
Dismissed!
A bolt of lightning stuck into Sam’s slime, but he was fine. Being so large, Sam Slime tried to move again.
Lee Han concentrated his mana and used the next method.
“Rush, the thunderbolt of Perkuntra!”
It’s a 2nd Circle magic, but since it was developed by Perkuntra, the powerful lightning spirit, its power was never inferior to higher circle magic… …but that was a fact that only Perkuntra knew, and Lee Han still used this magic
. I was suspicious.
Strangely, every time I used this magic, the effect was not good.
‘If there is no effect this time, I will seal it for a while.’
In fact, it was because all the enemies Lee Han met were too strong for a freshman to deal with.
But Lee Han had already made up his mind.
Apparently, Perkuntra is a spirit that is a bit bluffing!
Pajijijik!
Along with the rapid charging, the lightning streaks that became intense pierced Sam Slime.
With a tremendous vibration, Sam’s slime shuddered wildly. A part of his body evaporated to the point of shrinking in size.
But Sam Slime stood still.
“Perkuntra!”
Lee Han cursed at the absent spirit and immediately picked up the morning star.
Nilia was flustered and tried to stop Lee Han.
‘I’m already down!’
Due to the powerful magic, Sam Slime was already in a state of collapse. It was clear that he didn’t even move.
Standing like that now was close to just maintaining the shape of the water that had pooled in the spring due to the remaining magic power.
However, Nilia’s cries did not reach Lee Han.
Lee Han cut Sam Slime, who had fallen by the morning star. Only then did the stagnant water lose its shape and disperse.
“It looks like I was scammed by the spirit.”
“……”
* * *
The mouse hurriedly ran away and cast transformation magic around it.
However, the intruder, who looked like a freshman and could not be identified as a principal or a dragon, was skillfully defeated and pursued.
That was even more suspicious.
If you’re really a freshman, you can’t keep up that well.
Even if it’s a bald eagle, I made slime with the water from the spring where Han Cheol-soo was standing, and hit it right away without breathing… No matter how much I thought about it, it was clear that the
skeleton headmaster had transformed.
The mouse trembled with fear.
Even if monsters, demons, angels, or spirits set up nests in corners, the professors didn’t show much interest in this magic school, but very occasionally, if you wrongly upset the professor’s planting, the professor would come to demolish it himself.
This was clearly the case now.
The mouse didn’t understand.
What on earth did he touch the skeleton principal?
He would have just spread out the forest in the corner of the hallway and played with the freshmen…
No matter how much I think about it, that doesn’t seem like such a big mistake.
Dalgrak!
With the sound of bones crashing, Sharkan jumped out and blocked the mouse.
The mouse was frightened and tried to use the next magic, but Lee Han was one step faster.
“Move!”
Lee Han immediately casts a low-level control magic and puts the mouse into the air to prevent it from escaping.
When I tried to float myself with a circle 1 magic that only a fledgling would use, the mouse counterattacked as if it were absurd.
Transform your body right away…
squeak?!
The mouse was startled.
The body did not move as if it was seized by some mighty magical power.
I tried to cast magic, but it didn’t work.
The opponent is controlling the mouse’s surroundings with an enormous amount of mana, leaving no room for other mana to enter.
To show such useless control with only a quill or 1-circle magic to float.
There was only one reason.
Skeleton Principal’s unique freaky scare!
Squeak…
The mouse dropped its head to the side as if it had given up.
Lee Han was surprised.
‘My… Did I kill you?’
For a moment, I thought it was because I was casting < Lesser Control > too hard.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, there was no such effect in < Low Manipulation >. It was all about launching and manipulating.
Fortunately, upon closer inspection, the mouse was not dead. It just seemed to give up.
“hey. Really I…”
Lee Han hesitated as he tried to explain to the mouse, ‘I’m not a dragon or a lich or a skeleton headmaster’.
…Come to think of it, do I really have to solve it?
It was embarrassing to see a mouse use magic earlier, but he was a much higher level wizard than Lee Han.
If he didn’t run away and cast all sorts of conversion magic to attack Lee Han, there was a good chance he would lose.
Besides, if the misunderstanding is resolved, won’t he attack Lee Han viciously, even if it’s unfair that he just ran away?
On the other hand, what if you think Lee Han is a skeleton headmaster?
‘Isn’t it possible to get out of the forest right away?’
It hadn’t been done once. Didn’t he avoid the storage keeper’s eyes by pretending to be the headmaster in the basement the other day?
Friends tilted their heads and looked at Lee Han.
‘How are you trying to convince the mouse?’
“Yes. I am the principal.”
snap!
The mouse, which opened one eye and tried to sneak a look at Lee Han, closed both eyes again and lay down on its back.
It was the attitude that I knew it would be like that.
“……”
“……”
He could feel the eyes of his friends who had turned into animals, but Lee Han ignored them.
“But be merciful…if you let me and these friends out here, I’ll pass on making you my undead kin.”
Lee Han spoke with his voice as low as possible.
Lee Han didn’t know what the undead family was, but he spat out whatever came out of his mouth.
Then the mouse nodded fiercely enough to create wind.
Squeak squeak squeak!
The mouse desperately pointed in the direction as if it wanted to get the skeleton headmaster out quickly.
Lee Han and his friends walked along the trail in the forest. In the distance, the familiar hallways of the school began to be seen again.
“ah. for a moment.”
Lee Han and his friends, who were about to leave, hesitated.
The mouse looked at Lee Han with shocked eyes.
No way… No way?
“no. there’s one more wait for a sec.”
He had forgotten about Kainan Island.
* * *
Lee Han went back and came to Guinan Island.
As soon as the white mouse saw Lee Han, it shed tears and clung to it.
“Guinan Island.”
My friends nodded as if they were convinced. Lee Han put the white mouse on top of the staff.
Gainando was moved with tears in his eyes at the reunion of his friends, but was horrified when he saw Nilia.
Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak!
“huh?”
Lee Han looked at Nilia and then at Gainando.
“are you okay. I don’t bite.”
Of course, such words did not reach Gainando’s ears. Gainando hid in his coat pocket.
Instead of forcefully taking out the Gainando, Lee Han took out the beer candies inside and moved them to another place.
“Then goodbye. Mice in the forest. See you next time we pass by here.”
Yoner, who was listening from the side, tilted his head.
…isn’t that a threat?
In fact, the mice trembled as if they accepted it that way.
Finally, the mouse squeaks and pulls out its treasure, which it has dug in the forest floor.
It was a mysterious bone filled with magical power.
Squeak squeak…
The mouse received this and looked at Lee Han pitifully as if asking him to pass.
Of course, Lee Han had little interest in bones. Maybe it’s Professor Mortum…
Dalgrak!
At that moment, Sharkan rushed in. Bones and bones were intertwined, and the empty parts of Sharkan were filled.
“…!”
As the bony summons changed to a complete form without any gaps, the friends exclaimed in exclamation at the mystery of the summoning magic.
Lee Han had other thoughts.
‘…How dangerous did you say Sharkan is?’
According to Professor Lightning Walk, Sharkan was a very noble and violent man.
Now that it’s imperfect, it’s docile, but when it’s perfect, it might come out with its original personality!
‘Should I bet on the unlikely possibility that Professor Mortum would have cared for the freshman, or the obvious possibility that he would have forgotten the safety rules?’
Of course it was the latter.
Lee Han immediately grabbed the staff and looked at Sharkan.
“…Sharkan?”
At his master’s call, Sharkan immediately ran and did not kneel.
However, he did not rush at Lee Han and aim his bone fangs at Lee Han with a ferocious roar.
Sharkan just…
pretended not to hear.
When I called again, I fell down and put my head on the ground.
“???”
My friends were perplexed because they couldn’t understand why that bone summoner was doing that.
Nilia, the hunter, was the first to notice.
That…
‘Looks like a rebel…?’
Even loyal dogs and wolves raised by hunters sometimes didn’t listen to them when they grew up.
It was because the spirit of rebellion arose as the soul matured.
‘…but do undead bone summons also have a rebellious period?’
Nilia blinked in disbelief.
