Chapter 158
“After…”
Lee Han let out a sigh.
Then he said with a serious expression.
“I can’t go into detail about that.”
“……”
Professor Thunder Walk cursed at his student inwardly.
‘This kid said something with a serious face…’
If it were another student, for example, Guyando, he would have yelled, ‘Stop talking nonsense and prepare for the exam!’
However, Professor Wooregeol did not do that to Lee Han.
It was because the disciple in front of me was too sincere and had too many things to do.
“i get it. Drink this.”
If barley potions didn’t work, there were grape potions and rice potions.
Professor Uregeol took out grapes, or grape potions, and rice potions from under the table and held them out in front of Lee Han.
Lee Han shook his head.
“It is dangerous to be drunk.”
‘Is this kid really a freshman?’
At such a merry festival, she refuses to drink… not potion.
It was patience like steel.
“If we need to break through the ambush… we should increase the number of companions.”
“hmm.”
Lee Han listened to Professor Wooregeol’s words and thought about it.
Lee Han was not the only one who had the right to go out. Looking at the current trend, it wouldn’t be strange if there were three or four other top students each.
What if you form a formation with them and break through the traps in preparation for an attack?
‘hmm. You won’t listen to me.’
The Blue Dragon Tower and the Phoenix Tower students might not know, but the Black Turtle Tower and the White Tiger Tower had a high possibility that they would not listen to this even if they died.
Should I attack and subdue my friends beforehand and then blackmail them?
‘Maybe it’s not bad.’
I didn’t know if there was a way left after excluding the other impossible ways, no matter how absurd it seemed.
Although I had to attack my friends first…
“Thank you. professor.”
Not knowing whether Lee Han was having crazy thoughts, Professor Woorewalk let out a slightly hearty laugh.
It was a joy as a teacher to receive sincere thanks from a student like Lee Han.
“I’m glad I was helpful. So are you really not going to drink?”
“it’s okay. But the name is a magic school festival, but is this potion enough instead of alcohol?”
At Lee Han’s words, Professor Thunderwalk shrugged.
“What do you think people know about alchemy? Even if you show a potion that has gone through the process of cartooning, only the same alchemist knows its value. People will think it’s just a potion and move on. But if you make something like this…”
“Everybody is happy.”
“Exactly.”
An excellent alchemist is good at making alcohol.
Lee Han listened to Prof. Wooregeul’s speech < How does an alchemist manage personal connections? > with interest.
It was a speech on the point that since alchemists who make potions in their closets are generally unsociable, making and sending them well is essential to maintaining good human relations.
‘It’s definitely true.’
Lee Han later vowed to keep an eye on Professor Woorestep as he makes alcohol.
Paying bribes well is not for everyone.
“I was amazed. professor.”
“OK.”
“Then may I take some of this potion?”
“…You’re not drinking now, are you doing this to sell later?”

The skeleton principal looked at the bitter… guests gathered in the seat with a bored gaze.
Then he refined his voice.
The glorious celebrities of the empire who attended this event… and our proud students who will be responsible for the future of the empire!
‘It’s detestable.’
‘After I graduate, I shouldn’t be involved with Richie for the rest of my life.’
Apart from the guests applauding with admiration, the new students glared at the skeleton headmaster.
what else to do!
The festival isn’t too far away. I would like to present simple riddles to those gathered to take a break.
Exchanging riddles while taking a break was one of the favorite games for both nobles and commoners.
In addition, the Skeleton Headmaster, one of the most famous wise men in the empire, said that he would solve a riddle, so the guests were interested and turned their attention.
What riddle will you solve?
really. If the guests from outside are also good at it, I will give you a ticket to go out here as a gift.
“The principal also… Where are we going to use it?”
“You’re good at joking!”
“……”
Contrary to the friendly atmosphere of the guests, the students who had not yet obtained a ticket to go out were literally on fire.
And there were people who hadn’t grasped the atmosphere yet.
They were guests of Valdrogard.
“This is your chance.”
“that’s right. A chance to show our abilities to the magicians of Einrogard.”
‘Aren’t you paying attention?’
Lee Han looked at the Valdrogard students with pity.
As soon as anyone gets the right to go out by solving the riddle here, the first year students of Einrogarde regard the Baldrogard students as their fierce enemies until they graduate.
But you don’t know that, and you’re burning up your will like that.
ruler. Then… Guess my age, everyone.
“?”
“??”
Everyone gathered at the ridiculous riddle was bewildered.
It’s…
not even a riddle!
‘You’re making a new concept of a mystery.’
– Kreureung.
“what’s the matter?” Lee Han was puzzled when Sharkan grabbed his sleeve and pulled it.
Sharkan was nervous and was sending out a signal to follow him.
‘…no way?’
Lee Han was not stupid enough to ignore the warnings of his faithful undead summons.
As I lowered my stance and moved my steps, Sharkan led the way. Lee Han headed to the back of the main building, which was not crowded with the summons.
A huge pile of luggage covered in cloth caught my eye.
It was covered in cloth, but Lee Han seemed to know what it was.
“…Firecrackers.”
A very familiar magic firecracker caught my eye through the exposed gap.
Lee Han did not bother to ask why these things were piled up at the back of the main building.
Because that’s what amateurs do now.
‘Can I enter the tower avoiding a mystery or something?’
However, before Lee Han’s worries were over, someone appeared among the piles of firecrackers with a rustling sound.
It was the first wizard I had ever seen in my life.
“…to be caught in such a goddamn way! What are you doing!”
“!”
When the opponent spat out swear words and raised his staff, Lee Han instinctively responded.
“Attack Sharkan! Be paralyzed!”
What Lee Han learned at magic school was that he had to resist anyone who tried to overpower him.
Even if it’s the Skeleton Principal’s underling!
‘It’s not a punishment room yet! If you leave after overpowering…!’
Lee Han focused on his determination to defeat the opponent without fail.
I will take it down and make the current situation innocent!

Ogonin the Wizard was not a subordinate of Headmaster Skeleton.
He was one of the mages with a fairly high reputation in the empire.
…Of course, having a high reputation didn’t mean he wasn’t a thief.
This time, Ogonin was a definite thief.
Wizards who don’t know much about Einrogard tend to have illusions.
Unfortunately, Ogonin did not know much about Einrogard compared to his reputation and skills.
So many people fell into the first illusion.
There will be many mysteries and visions that you are looking for in there!
It was not wrong.
It’s because it’s almost impossible to get in and get out safely.
However, wizards are like moths that will jump in if there is something they are looking for, no matter how impossible it is.
Ogonin was such a case.
During the festival, various thieves and adventurers came in and were caught, but Ogonin did not care.
He didn’t care about the reputation he had or what happened after he was captured.
– I must go in and get my hands on the mystery!
Ogonin was as talented as his reputation.
Thanks to this, I was able to succeed in entering with a disguised identity and avoiding the eyes of the people around me after entering.
However, that luck ended up finding a pile of firecrackers.
Upon discovering a pile of firecrackers (Ogonin didn’t know what they were at first), Ogonin was delighted with the powerful magic they felt.
-aha! You must be researching something!
In order to conduct an accurate investigation, Ogonin built a barrier around him.
-The will of the forgotten will stop those who come here!
It was a high level mental type magic that broke the will of an approaching person and sent them back, far more powerful than clumsy invisibility magic or sight refracting barriers.
After closing the barrier, Ogonin tried to examine the pile of firecrackers.
…Until a certain freshman suddenly bypassed the barrier and went inside.
* * *
‘How did you avoid the barrier!?’
Ogonin never thought that the freshman had ignored the barrier with his tremendous magic power.
I just thought I had made a stupid mistake.
‘Are you nervous because you’re not used to stealing…! Such a mistake…’
Ogonin thought he had to get out of here somehow.
How embarrassing it would be if a freshman found out about it and spread rumors about it.
“May the illusions of others consume you!”
Ogonin cast powerful illusion magic. It was magic that directly interfered with the opponent’s mind and showed illusions.
With all the unexpected visions, the freshman won’t even notice what he just witnessed.
“…?”
However, Lee Han did not waver even after being hit by fantasy magic.
A wave of magical power struck my body…
‘What is it?’
Although he didn’t understand why the other party was doing that, Lee Han decided to accept the opponent’s mistake with gratitude.
I have already learned from dealing with many professors.
don’t relax
Conquer while you can!
“Shine!”
Lightning flashed and charged Ogonin. Ogonin rolled to the side in astonishment.
I was surprised by the lightning magic that was too fast for a freshman cast, but it was even more shocking that it was not affected by fantasy magic.
‘What the hell happened?!’
Ogonin wondered if he was mistaken when his opponent was not a freshman.
Maybe a 45th grader…
But still, it didn’t make sense. Even a 45th grader couldn’t bounce off his fantasy magic like this.
“An illusion from another…!”
“Shine!”
‘Keugh!’
The magic fired by the opponent was never weak. Its power was bloody, and the casting speed was ridiculously fast.
Originally, I had to admit that the other person was a unique existence that did not work with fantasy magic and change my strategy.
But Ogonin’s pride got in the way.
Anyway, isn’t he a person who has built a reputation for fantasy magic in the empire?
It was too much humiliation to be embarrassed because I couldn’t deal with only one student.
“I rule over your heart!”
‘no. You fight so damn well!’
Once again, the powerful illusion magic was deflected, but Lee Han himself did not notice it.
Instead, I admired the other person’s dodging skills.
From the looks of it, it seemed that he had quite a bit of magical combat experience.
Seeing that whenever Lee Han tried to use magic, he would first roll and dodge.
But why does such a person keep using useless magic?
‘Are you trying to subdue me?’
Well, it’s not strange if it’s the skeleton headmaster’s subordinates who try to subdue the students so that they don’t get hurt… No, it’s a bit strange, but it was possible.
Lee Han decided to take advantage of the other person’s consideration.
‘I can’t go to the punishment room!’
Lee Han wielded his staff and madly increased his mana.
Dozens of water beads quickly began to take shape in the air. Only then did Ogonin cry out in fright.
“Wait a minute!”
“Forgive me, Professor!”
“no…!”
