Chapter 267
In fact, even Giselle tended to think that it would be better to learn from a ranger from the Shadow Patrol rather than from stargazers in the wasteland.
‘The Wasteland Star Catcher is too pretentious.’
I had the skills, but I was rejected because it felt too over-packaged.
“Are you really… going to learn… from me?”
Vaishada stuttered and asked.
My voice cracked because I was a little nervous.
“Can’t we?”
“There’s nothing that can’t be done… Cool. for a moment.”
Vaishada opened the lid of the water bottle and quenched her thirst.
Then he drank a potion of relaxation. It was a potion that he did not drink even when hunting large monsters.
“Honestly, I thought everyone would go there.”
“The Shadow Ranger is better than the Wasteland Star Catcher.”
At Lee Han’s words, Vaishada’s black eyes twinkled. His eyelids trembled as if he had been deeply moved.
“Is it really? I didn’t expect Einrogard students to think like this…”
Actually, it was because of their friendship with Nilia, but Lee Han and the others didn’t bother to say it.
It was so sad to see the hunter in front of him happy.
Even Giselle was still.
“good night! I will definitely help you find and catch a bigger game than the other students.”
Vaishada said in a voice full of enthusiasm.
I didn’t expect anything like this to happen in Einrogard.
I was thinking of telling the other rangers when I go back to the northern mountains.
How happy your colleagues will be!
“Uh… wait a minute.”
“?”
“Actually, we… have already finished preparing for the final exams.”
“???”
“???”
Vaishada was startled.
Durgyu was also surprised.
“when?!”
“Wasn’t that your friend?”
Vaishada was embarrassed. The three of them seemed friendly.
“Last time I was chased by a lizard. I met a giant and cut my hair.”
“Lee Han. I’m your friend, but what I just said is too difficult to pass off as friendship…
”
Talking about the giant’s hair as if he picked up a stone while walking was what confused Durgyu.
“It’s a bit long to talk.”
Lee Han briefly explained what had happened.
Encounter with the giant – > can’t play chess – > win the bet – > escape with the loot.
“Did the giant not play chess like that?”
“I couldn’t.”
“……”
Giselle tried to say something, but held back. To say the least, it was only hurting one’s face.
“sorry. Durgyu. I should have told you originally, but I missed the timing because I was afraid the other White Tiger Tower students next to me would be disappointed or jealous.”
“no. I can understand. I was very fortunate.”
“for a moment. sorcerers.”
Vaishada had not been able to keep up with the conversation, but belatedly caught up.
“So winning a bet against a giant… aside from that. I don’t understand the other things either, but that’s all. Is that why there are loot now?”
“yes.”
“Then what am I supposed to do?”
“…uh… do you want to go hunting together? I need some meat.”
“……”

Vaishada was a bit sullen, but soon regained his energy.
Most of all, the students rated the Shadow Patrol higher than the Star Catchers in the Wasteland, but I wanted to know what a big deal it was.
“you’re right. And isn’t the result what matters? Other students will think we defeated the giant thanks to Mr. Vaishada.”
“That’s nice… but can I?”
Vaishada tilted her head.
Of course, I wanted to let the young wizards here know that the Shadow Rangers are better than the Wasteland Starcatchers.
But that sounds like a trick…
“You can do that. It’s a lesson learned at magic school that if the results are good, everything is fine.”
“okay? Are you surprised?”
“??”
“???”
With time to spare, Vaishada took the three of them to find suitable prey and gave them various advice.
“Do you know how to walk on a slope like this?”
“Don’t be in a hurry, try to touch the ground with the entire sole of your foot, and minimize fatigue by integrating breathing and walking.”
“You’re right! Isn’t that great?!”
Vaishadha was really surprised.
Apparently, he came from a great aristocratic family, so he wouldn’t have grown up climbing the mountains.
Still, you’d be so good at it.
If it wasn’t for the identity of the opponent, he thought that he might have learned it from another member of the Shadow Patrol.
‘hmm. It’s getting harder and harder to say.’
In fact, it was difficult to say that he had learned from a member of the Shadow Patrol.
I was very excited as the other person taught me one by one, but it took courage to say ‘I’ve already learned everything’.
“ruler. Walk upstairs once.”
“Is this right?”
“You’re right! You’re doing great!”
“……”
Durgyu, who knew Nilia, looked at Lee Han with an absurd look.
Lee Han pretended not to see it and ignored it.

Vaishada threaded some of the birds he had shot down on skewers. After removing the feathers and entrails, the meat of the bird, roasted to a golden brown, was a delicacy for hunters.
“Is it because it is during the Phoenix Festival? The fire is a little high.”
Vaishada adjusted the intensity of the crackling fire.
It was Lee Han who had been warned by Professor Voladi. I didn’t just pass Vaishada’s words.
‘It seems that the energy of the flame is really getting stronger.’
“Come to think of it, has a phoenix ever been summoned to a magic school?”
“You mean the phoenix?”
The three students were puzzled by the question.
immoral.
Isn’t it a fairly rare phantom beast among phantom beasts? It was a monster that I didn’t know where it came from.
“I’ve never seen it, so why are you asking about the phoenix?”
“ah. I’ve never seen it myself, but I’ve heard of it showing up at festivals very occasionally. If it appeared, I wondered if it would appear at the magic school. It’s a phantom beast, so you won’t like places with a lot of magic.”
“ha ha ha. If that was the case, the magic school would have already become the den of countless monsters. Mr. Vaishada.”
Durgyu laughed and said. Lee Han thought to himself.
‘It looks like it’s already halfway to the monster’s den.’
It was quite ominous information that phantom beasts appeared because they liked places with a lot of magic.
Lee Han shook his head once to appease his trembling and said to Vaishada.
“You shoot a bow well.”
“thank you. Would you like to give it a shot?”
“I’m a bit unsure of the bow.”
Lee Han said he would learn pretty much anything, but he couldn’t dare to learn archery easily.
I knew how to put an arrow on a string and shoot it at a target. I had learned that when old knight Allarron taught me the basics.
But hitting a small moving target at a distance was another matter entirely. It took bone-breaking effort to match that.
“Well, bows take a lot of time to get used to. Besides, wizards don’t even need to master the bow. okay. Why don’t you enchant the arrow and shoot it? Are there any magics that you use in times like this?”
Vaishada said this because she was not entirely a wizard.
Any experienced mage would know that what he just said was quite absurd.
Instead of shooting the bow with the skill and skill of an archer, it is assisted by various enchantment magic to shoot the bow.
At first glance, it sounded plausible, but in fact, the navel was bigger than the stomach.
Every time you shoot an arrow, you shoot it with multiple magics.
No matter how simple the enchantment magic was, the consumption of mana was unusual.
In addition, applying several layers of enchantment to a small object like an arrow greatly increased the amount of mana consumed and the difficulty with each cast.
However, Lee Han, still an inexperienced freshman, decided that it was a good idea before thinking about it.
‘Certainly, I’ve learned a few useful enchantments now.’
Lee Han has been studying only nonsensical attributes such as ‘floating’, ‘auto-defense’, and ‘reflection’ these days, but in fact, there were many easier attributes.
Attributes that assist in power, such as ‘acceleration’, ‘increased weight’, or ‘increased penetration’.
Attributes that assist in other areas, such as ‘shake removal’, ‘hit enhancement’, or ‘aiming assistance’.
It was Lee Han, who used magic in the form of beads. I was just thinking that someday I should try to increase the power with these enchantments.
It was too difficult to apply additional enchantments to objects like water beads that were maintained by Yihan’s summoned magical power… but it was relatively easy
for objects that did not have any problems even if Yihan did not retain magical power, such as arrows.
‘I’ll try arrows first, and if the arrows catch me well, I’ll try iron beads next time.’
It wasn’t a bad idea to practice with arrows as the difficulty increased in order of arrows, metal beads, and water beads.
“Go fast, get heavy. Be sharp.”
Durgyu and Giselle, who were watching while nibbling on the roasted bird, looked at each other with interest.
In fact, Giselle was more like ‘what are you doing again’, but interest was interesting anyway.
“Lee Han. Did you learn the < Low-level Weight Increase > and < Low-level Penetration Enhancement >?”
“Did you come to class?”
To be precise, it was one of the many foundational endowment spells written in the book rather than taught by Professor Verdus.
“It did come out. But you were behind.”
However, those two magics were located relatively behind, and the students who already had a lot of magic to practice did not dare to touch the magic behind them first.
Even if you don’t catch it, you already have enough magic to do.
“In the case of < Low Weight Increase >, I had something to test, so I practiced it.”
“Right. … uh? Then what about < Low Penetration Enhancement >?”
“Use that for the first time now.”
“……”
“……”
Durgyu and Giselle agreed for the first time.
Such nonsense…
‘Oh no. What am I thinking.’
Durgyu shook his head and let his thoughts go.
Lee Han was a great friend, but sometimes when he showed his talent for magic, it seemed like he would automatically say, “Stop cheating.”
“Really unlucky.”
“…Moradi! You shouldn’t say that to your teammate!”
“Why are you making a fuss all of a sudden? what?”
Regardless of what his friends say or not, Lee Han casts the next spell.
Increased acceleration, increased weight, improved penetration, improved accuracy, improved aim…
‘What else was there to stake? ah. Shake-free.’
“The tremors have subsided…”
Lee Han, who was swinging his cane, hesitated. The spell was not properly cast and bounced off.
It was the same no matter how many times it was repeated.
“Why is that?”
“ah. right. I forgot.”
If you apply multiple enchantments to something like an arrow, the level of magic consumption and casting difficulty will rise rapidly.
Having walked this far, it was only natural that it would not take anymore.
“……”
“……”
“Then shouldn’t you usually be aware before casting?”
Vaishada tilted his head and asked the students of the Two White Tiger Towers.
The two students pretended not to hear and turned away.
“Then let’s do it here.”
“Guess the rock that fell over there.”
Lee Han caught his breath and aimed his bow. I could feel the complex and finely woven structure of magic in the arrows.
It was much more comfortable and stable than when I was just wearing a string, perhaps because of the strengthened accuracy and aim.
Tung!
Kwajik!
The arrow flew with a crackling sound and pierced the rock and got stuck about 1/3 of the way through.
Lee Han felt sorry for the location of the arrow, which was quite far from the center he was aiming for.
‘Is this enough for two?’
“It is also difficult.”
“What are you saying…”
Vaishada said, looking at Lee Han like a monster.
If you’re not a skilled archer and you’ve put an arrow into a rock, you’ve done well.
