Chapter 564
“No. You never pushed it into a pit.”
“phew. What a relief.”
After hearing the answer, Professor Garcia, who was relieved, hesitated.
‘Didn’t I just say < in the pit >?’
Does that mean you’ve pushed it somewhere other than the pit?
“Lee Han Hak…”
“Then what is this pit?”
Professor Garcia was heartbroken when Lee Han asked very blatantly and cautiously.
The first thing I thought was to clear this excellent student’s doubts as soon as possible.
“It’s the final exam.”
“Is that so.”
“?”
Professor Garcia was puzzled.
Lee Han’s reaction was so calm.
Of course, the boy of the Wodanaz family was not emotional or flirtatious, but such a calm reaction?
“Then are there monsters hiding under the pit?”
“Because there is none?!”
Professor Garcia’s voice rose involuntarily.
“You don’t think you think of me as the principal, do you, student Lee Han?”
“How could I have such a rude thought? Absolutely not. However, if it was a final exam, I thought the monsters would be hiding…”
Professor Garcia said with a deep sigh.
“I prepared to test the magic I learned this semester. There are no monsters.”
In the first semester, it was Professor Garcia who introduced various schools of magic and taught them the basics.
And during this second semester, I was in charge of the < Basic Practical Magic > lecture, teaching students various useful practical magic.
< Underwater Breathing >, < Undead Extermination >, < Detect Undead >, < Reverse Summoning Lesser Undead >, etc. were such examples.
‘Looks like there are a lot of undead.’
Somehow, there were a lot of anti-undead magic, but Professor Garcia’s lecture was the most practical lecture of this semester. Above all, the lectures by Einrogard graduates who really care about the students were outstanding. It was a lecture that taught students only magic that they could use right away in real life.
“Uh, but you also taught undead-related magic, but there are no undead?”
“I don’t know what you mean. When did I teach you undead magic?”
“You taught me < Undead Extermination >, < Detect Undead > and < Reverse Summon Lesser Undead >…” “
I don’t understand? aha. It must be that student Lee Han was mistaken because he listened to so many lectures.”
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded, but he could understand the meaning of Professor Garcia.
I’m trying to keep it a secret so that if the skeleton headmaster finds out who taught it to me, it could lead to even more twisted tricks.
‘Just say it with words.’
However, Lee Han was slightly hurt. I don’t know anything else, but it hurt a lot to be stabbed by listening to a lot of lectures.
“All right. Excluding undead-related magic… Then it’s about < Water Breathing > < Low Detoxification > < Promote Waterproof > < Amplify Vision > < Low Lock Removal >?”
“Exactly.”
Lee Han cautiously approached the pit and looked down.
After casting < Dark Vision of Gonadaltes > and infusing magical power into the eyes to strengthen the field of vision, the structure under the pit was visible.
‘If the professor fills it with water, it must be a way for the students to swim and dive deeply.’
Looking down the pit, there was a small passage through which one could escape.
There will be simple docks or locks in the passage.
As the water fills up, the field of vision will become narrower, so overcoming such an environment with magic, finding a passage, and solving the poison and lock will be the final exam.
Lee Han, who recalled this far, suddenly felt a question welling up.
“professor. If you fill up here with water, is it right to dive in and find that hidden passage? Are there traps in the aisle?”
“oh. that’s right. Lee Han student. I saw you.”
Professor Garcia responded with a smile when Lee Han clearly grasped it.
“But why are you standing like that?”
“I’m being careful lest I fall into a pit.”
“…Student Lee Han… I’m not pushing…”
“I’m not sure what you mean.”
Despite Professor Garcia’s words, Lee Han lowered his stance and observed under the pit while maintaining his balance in case someone pushed him from behind.
“Anyway, Professor. I know it’s a structure like that…”
“?”
As Lee Han lost his words, Professor Garcia was puzzled.
I couldn’t understand what that excellent disciple was doing to ask what he was asking.
“…This is the final exam, can I find out in advance?”
Even as he asked, Lee Han was a little nervous.
Even if Professor Garcia belatedly said, ‘Oops! Lee Han student. I said it by mistake. I have no choice but to prepare for a more difficult exam only for Lee Han.’
Of course, Professor Garcia was a good person compared to other professors, but he was a professor anyway.
“ah. Doesn’t it matter?”
“…Does it matter?”
“Anyway, student Lee Han gets a perfect score. That’s why I called.”
“……”
Lee Han was speechless for a moment.
no…
no…?
‘is it?’
It seemed like something made sense, but Lee Han asked once again in a feeling that didn’t make sense.
“But wouldn’t it be possible to find out only after taking the test?”
“I’ve seen student Lee Han use magic a few times… It’s okay. Because I’m sure you can’t see it. Aren’t there other professors who think similarly to me?”
Professor Garcia swung his cane to create a space for students to sit while taking the exam.
And when the exam is over, warm warmth is given to the surroundings so that the body can be warmed up.
“Uh… I saw you.”
“Yes? Didn’t those professors tell you to do your own thing during the meaningless exam time?”
‘They gave me something more difficult.’
Han Lee recalled the memory of Professor Alpen saying during the midterm exam, “It was too easy, so I prepared something more difficult.”
But telling Professor Garcia didn’t seem like a good idea.
If that happened, Professor Garcia might have reacted with ‘Ah, such a method?’
“It was similar.”
In response to Lee Han’s answer, Professor Garcia nodded as if he knew that.
While preparing for the final exams for the second semester, the professors were complaining about their own grievances.
– After all, the transformation potion must be too difficult. That said, I paid for the firecracker potion last year… It’s annoying, but should I call Wodanaz and ask him to make a test?
-professor!
– It’s a joke. joke. How is Professor Verdus preparing?
-me? I’m going to make an artifact out of scrap materials.
-no. It’s a pretty good test, isn’t it? You seem well prepared.
-huh. Gonadaltes told me to do this.
-……
-……
-That’s right. We’ll have to ask Wardanaj to prepare it. I almost forgot
-Professor Verdus. Could you come to the back of the break room for a second?
Of course, there were some unscrupulous professors, but basically there was a strong thought among the professors, ‘Is there any reason for a student who will get a perfect score to take the test anyway?’
When Professor Garcia was a student, an understanding professor once told him this.
– Garcia. you don’t have to take the exam focus on other exams. And when you beat your friend, would you do it with the palm of your hand instead of your fist?
“So, student Han Lee, prepare for other exams when you have time to prepare for the exam that will get you a perfect score anyway. Not all the other professors will pass the test.”
“thank you. professor.”
Han Lee honestly thanked Professor Garcia for his consideration.
Professor Garcia made this suggestion, of course, because Lee Han had the skills to get a perfect score, but it would have played a big role… …Rather than
that, he must have had a greater desire to give Lee Han a break from taking too many lectures.
If I didn’t have to worry about Professor Garcia’s test, I’d be able to afford it a little more.
‘I must never tell Professor Alpen’s method.’
“Instead, student Lee Han checks the difficulty of the final exam room here for the other students. It is more accurate to see it through the eyes of a student rather than a professor.”
“Professor Garcia is a wonderful person. I am lucky to have met you.”
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
When Lee Han spoke in a choked voice, Professor Garcia was very embarrassed.
It was a very sudden compliment.
“I will do my best to check.”
“You can just check it with a light heart…”
Professor Garcia filled the pit with water, slightly uneasy as the student prepared so passionately.
I just wanted to confirm with a light heart, but I was worried that I might be putting too much weight on the shoulders of an overly sincere disciple.
* * *
Splash!
Lee Han immediately came up, saying how long it had been since he entered.
Lee Han, who swung his cloak with waterproof magic to shake off the water, reported to Professor Garcia.
“I think the water should be darker.”
“ah. is it so?”
Professor Garcia took notes with a quill.
Basically, when the water is stagnant, the bottom becomes dark, so I didn’t add any magic, but it was still a little bright.
‘Is the light source strong?’
“yes. Shall we summon the dark element?”
“what are you saying. This student doesn’t have to do that. I have to prepare.”
Professor Garcia waved his hand to stop it.
I called to hear a simple impression, but the other person was too sincere.
“All right. Then again…”
“Ah. You don’t have to go back in…”
Splash!
After a while.
Lee Han came up again.
“professor. The entrance to the passage is small, but there are no other entrances around, so I think you can find it quickly if you stay calm. Why don’t we make fake passages?”
“Um… I see.”
Professor Garcia took notes again.
Lee Han went in and out again without a break.
– Poison is like a type of poison that obstructs vision, but wouldn’t a poison that obstructs breathing be better?
-I’ve opened the lock myself, but a student with good dexterity can open it without magic. How about strengthening it more?
-I thought there would be something when I came up, but I was a bit surprised that there was nothing. After all, wouldn’t it be better to add undead?
“……”
Professor Garcia folded the book in which he had been writing notes and asked Lee Han.
“Student Lee Han. Have your friends acted sadly lately?”
“yes? Is there anything in particular?”
* * *
Lee Han, who came out of Professor Garcia’s classroom, felt a little uneasy.
I was worried that I had not lived up to the professor’s expectations.
‘Was my point bad?’
Professor Garcia thought of Lee Han, so he passed the exam and asked, but he couldn’t come up with any useful improvements.
My heart was heavy at the thought that the professor might have been disappointed.
‘I’ll have to fix it a bit more the next time we see each other and bring it back.’
“Student Lee Han. Next time you come, don’t fix it and bring it back.”
Professor Garcia poked his head through the classroom door and shouted. Lee Han asked in surprise.
“Did you see it with foresight magic?”
“no. I saw it through my professor’s experience. Anyway, it really helped me a lot, so don’t bring it back after fixing it!”
“yes. All right.”
To be honest, I didn’t believe it would have been really helpful, but Professor Garcia’s sincerity was conveyed.
Lee Han went down the stairs with a calm feeling once again.
“oh. Wodanaz! Here it is!”
When a walking beaver called Lee Han, Lee Han pretended not to hear and moved on.
Professor Verdus flew lightly and blocked Lee Han.
“Are your ears blocked?”
“oh. Professor Verdus!! When did you come? I was surprised!”
