Chapter 111
The white horse was taken aback.
Isn’t the atmosphere like that right now?
Griffins and humans distrusted each other.
Wasn’t it a touching atmosphere where Griffon’s long-standing distrust was cleared away with human devotion and Griffon finally recognized Lee Han as its owner…?
– Hee hee. hee hee hee
The white horse bowed its head again and rubbed its head against Lee Han. Lee Han was cold.
“They won’t untie both of the bracelets and belts.”
-……
The white horse groaned.
No!
-Puhihing! Puhin!!
“As expected, you finally reveal your true colors! Did you know I would be tricked!”
When the white horse sprang up, Lee Han replied as if he knew it.
The white horse was enraged and pushed Yihan away with its head.
no!!!
“are you okay?!”
“are you okay. Maybe I’m angry with myself for putting my hands on her.”
“I am not talking!”
Yoner and the students hurriedly came running.
I was worried that Lee Han might be seriously injured.
Rowena looked at Lee Han in disbelief. To come out on the back of a white horse in a rushing current.
…Isn’t that enough to be a knight rather than a wizard?
“It’s really okay, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Lee Han said while wiping off the water.
The other top students were apologizing for the sudden accident on Lee Han’s turn, but from Lee Han’s point of view, it wasn’t the students’ fault.
It was Professor Lightningstep’s sinister twisted scheme.
“Muh… what happened?”
Tutanta and the Black Tower friends who arrived late were surprised.
Lee Han suppressed his anger and calmly explained.
“Everyone be careful. There is a trap for Professor Lightning Walk.”
“…!”
Tutanta and his friends were stunned by the explanation.
“You did that?! Could the horse’s life be in danger?”
“No matter how hard it is on a test, you’re doing too much!”
Unlike the other professors, Professor Lightningwalker was a famous adventurer in the Empire.
Students who read the explorer’s book written by Professor Lightning Step when they were young and had respect for it were shocked by the sense of betrayal.
“Let’s go back and protest. No matter how hard it is, I can’t pass this test.”
“that’s right. This horse is like a friend of mine now. To enter a place where your friend’s life is in danger? Absolutely not.”
Lee Han was moved by the reaction of the Black Turtle Top friends.
‘The future of this school might be bright.’
And then, from the sky, a lightning-walking professor flew in on a thunderbird.
The thunderbird, which landed softly, hissed at Lee Han. He seemed resentful of being tricked by Lee Han the other day.
Professor Lightningwalker got off the Thunderbird with Nilia.
The students of the Black Turtle Tower walked forward with determined faces.
“professor. I can’t do this test!”
“I’d rather get an F or risk my friend’s life…”
Professor Lightning Walk nodded instead of getting angry at the students’ rebellion.
“I know. I heard that the spirit of the river is acting capriciously? I came to dry it. wait a bit.”
“……”
“……”
Huh?
The Black Turtle Tower students looked at each other in bewilderment.
Wasn’t that Professor Lightning’s trap?
“Isn’t that what the professor prepared?”
“what?”
“The… the river swells…”
“It’s trying to wipe out the students…”
“Why did I prepare that?! Are you crazy!”
Professor Lightning Walk exclaimed as if it were absurd.
“Why am I preparing such a dangerous trap that the horse could die?”
“That… I see.”
“Come to think of it, yes.”
‘Shouldn’t I think about the fact that students could die first?’
Professor Lightningwalk was very fond of animals. I didn’t know if I would save more than the students.
There was no way that such a professor would send animals to a dangerous place where they might get hurt.
“Rather than that, the spirit of the river is capricious, so why did you doubt me?”
The students were embarrassed.
Come to think of it, it seems that the skeleton headmaster made me distrust the professors too much.
Professor Lightning Walk shook his head and clicked his tongue as if feeling sorry for him.
‘Even though the education here improves the students’ magical skills, it seems to destroy their personalities.’
* * *
It was Nylia who informed Professor Lightningwalker that the water in the river was strange.
Nilia arrived first.
The water spirit that contracted with Nilia noticed the incongruity and sent a signal.
Realizing that the water in the river was strange, Nylia left a mark used by the < Shadow Watch > for Yihan and Yoner to see.
-danger. Forbidden.
Then he went back to Professor Lightningwalker. Since it was an urgent matter, I ran in a straight line rather than on the road when I returned.
-professor! The river spirit is acting capricious!
– Horses must be dangerous! guide!
…That’s how it flew like the moon.
Lee Han, who heard the explanation of the situation, felt a little sorry for Professor Lightning Step.
‘Because of the skeleton headmaster, I became suspicious of useless people.’
“no. Rather, did you go in ignorantly without waiting in between?”
The lightning-walking professor was dumbfounded when he saw that the students’ clothes were wet.
Normally, when you see the river run amok, you should judge and avoid it thinking, “It must be dangerous.”
But the students were very unhappy.
The atrocities committed by the skeleton headmaster were still vivid.
“I really thought it was a test!”
“The headmaster was preparing the underground dungeon under the sand the other day, so I thought this was a trap too!”
“Shouldn’t the professor have checked the river properly in the first place!”
“okay. okay. I’m sorry.”
Professor Lightningwalk calmed the students by waving his hand holding a pipe.
What’s wrong with the students?
This magic school is wrong.
“But how did you manage to get water when the river spirit was capricious? Did you succeed in persuasion?”
“I was tied up with a rope.”
“……”
Professor Lightning Walk was taken aback.
Of course, when the spirit was angry, persuasion was not always the answer.
It was also a good way to overcome it by force by tying it with a rope as it is now.
…usually students don’t bring ropes to class!
“Did you bring it?”
“Why do you think it is me?”
Lee Han, who was pointed out, confidently protested. With such a confident face, Professor Lightning Walk apologized without even realizing it.
“ah. Wasn’t that what you brought with you? sorry.”
“I did bring it.”
“……”
Lightning Strike Professor tried to throw the pipe, but held back.
Nilia, who was listening from the side, tilted her head and asked.
“By the way, I left a no-access sign saying it was dangerous, so why did you go in?”
“……”
“……”
Yoner’s face went pale. Lee Han was equally pale, but thanks to his face, it didn’t show.
‘shit. I’ll have to walk while checking the signs from now on.’
Nilia taught it, and Lee Han learned it diligently, but he didn’t check it out one by one as he walked down the street.
Lee Han vowed to check the signs wherever he went.
“I can’t… I can’t believe I didn’t see it, did I?”
“no. saw it But the other guys kept insisting on going.”
Lee Han took responsibility right away. Coincidentally, Rowena was far away from the princess.
“Because he was from the White Tiger Tower, he was so stubborn that he couldn’t break his stubbornness.”
“It really was.”
Nilia was indignant at the words of the two.
As expected, nobles and knights were always a problem.
Even when I was in the mountains, I was annoyed by the people who came to see me doing things I was told not to do.
Ignoring the safety rules of hunters working in the field!
“Are you a very arrogant person? The princess is disappointed too!”
“The original knights are like that. Nilia, don’t say too much. Because we already said it harshly.”
Lee Han completely blocked the back work. Nilia nodded.
In the meantime, the waiting white horse approached again and grabbed Lee Han by the sleeve and pulled him.
“Have you become friends?”
“We weren’t friendly. It’s his trick.”
-Puh-heung! Fuheung! Whoops!
“look. You’re in character Do not be fooled.”
“…?”
Nylia looked at the white horse in disbelief.
I knew it because it was Nilia who had been friendly with animals in the mountains.
Right now, the white horse seemed to really like Lee Han.
Does that sound like something close to ‘look at me’?
Nilia said timidly.
“I think we’ve become close…”
“What are you talking about?”
Professor Lightning Step, who had calmed down the river spirit, joined the conversation.
Then, when he saw the white horse, he was startled.
‘I recognized you as the owner!?’
Surprisingly, the griffon, or the white horse, recognized Lee Han as its owner.
What kind of creature is the griffon?
As much as he had eagle’s wings and lion’s claws, his pride was as strong as those two put together.
Originally, he had no qualifications and would die to evil people, but he would not give in.
Serving Wodanaj as his master when he’s not sure who to serve as his master, even after years of friendship.
Professor Lightning Walk couldn’t believe it, so he rubbed his eyes and checked again.
“What… what happened?”
“yes?”
Lee Han was wary of Professor Lightning Step’s question.
“professor. I didn’t steal the rope.”
Of course, the students of the Black Turtle Tower could have stolen it!
“…I’m not interrogating you, I’m asking you out of curiosity, so just answer! Do you know what kind of Gonadaltes I am!”
The lightning-walking professor was slightly moved.
I don’t even know who the principal is!
“I’m asking because I’m friendly with that white horse. Because he’s such a violent guy that it’s hard to get close to him.”
“aha.”
Lee Han nodded as if he understood.
Then he said
“That guy is cheating. He is a very wicked man.”
“……”
‘Are you a professor?’
The lightning stride professor held back and spoke again.
“What happened?”
“It really didn’t matter. If there was anything special, I would have told you.”
When Lee Han said this, Professor Lightning Step took a step back.
This boy from the Wardanaj family had a hardworking and sincere personality. I didn’t tell any pointless lies.
Yoner whispered while listening.
“You saved me from the water.”
“ah. That… The river spirit was capricious and the horse fell over, but he was helped and brought out.”
Lee Han said as if it was nothing. The lightning stride professor thought so, then hesitated.
“for a moment. The river spirit caused the horse to fall. How did you pick it up and bring it out? Wouldn’t you have time? There’s no way you’ve already learned intermediate or higher telekinesis magic…?”
“yes. So I picked it up and brought it out. I cast Water Shield next to it to buy me some time.”
“……”
Professor Lightning Gad had to squeeze the pipe with his index and middle fingers.
It was in order not to throw it at an outstanding disciple in front of him who did not even know what he had done.
‘That’s no big deal, then what’s the big deal!’
I got it now
He risked his life to save himself from a situation where he could die.
Because of his courage and honor, Griffon, or a white horse, was recognized as the owner.
When the absurdity went away, Professor Lightning Walk felt proud for no reason.
Many arrogant wizards used to mistake erudition or superior magic as the key to taming animals.
But, in Professor Lightningstep’s opinion, the true talent lay deeper than that.
A heart that cares for others more than oneself.
That heart was the key.
How can you not be happy when a disciple shows a simple but important principle?
-Puhihing.
“Because I won’t let you go. Go away.”
-Pu hee hee! Hee hee hee!
“Don’t be angry. I won’t let you go for that.”
“……”
Lightning Walk Professor eventually couldn’t stand it and dropped the pipe.
