Chapter 139
Professor Voladi said, not knowing Lee Han’s inner thoughts.
“An hungry ghost. It’s low class.”
At the end of the passage of an underground dungeon lit by dim light, a dead man appeared, wrapped in sticky slime all over his body.
It was a monster called Preta.
The undead monster, not under the control of the magician, revealed its raw intent to kill to the point where it could be felt on the skin.
-■■■!
At that moment, the magic light that Professor Voladi had summoned went out.
An ordinary student would have been embarrassed, but Lee Han did not panic in the slightest and immediately memorized the order.
“Light.”
He was determined to respond to Professor Voladi at any time.
As Lee Han immediately called up the light, Professor Voladi nodded.
It was like saying it was a good decision.
‘Aren’t there professors?’
Preta is an undead monster that has been mutated due to the sins and evil deeds accumulated by the dead during their lifetime.
If so, it wouldn’t be strange if he had a professor’s mouth.
Well, if there is a professor’s mouth, that would be scary as it is…
“Spring up.”
Lee Han whispered in a voice one level lower than the previous glow spell.
He quickly realized that raising his voice in a dungeon would not bring anything good.
Professor Voladi gave a high score inwardly.
Agile reaction speed and innate vigilance.
It was a virtue that a battle mage should have.
The water beads were divided into several, and one of them flew ferociously towards the anglerfish.
The angler’s jaw was smashed with a dull sound. The anglerfish, who had been walking briskly, stumbled.
‘I’ll have to stop him from moving.’
For wizards, it was better to avoid close combat. Lee Han aimed at the angler’s knee with a water bead.
If it was another wizard, it might have been difficult to aim accurately like this.
However, Lee Han was already good at controlling elemental magic through training with Professor Voladi.
one more room.
The ball of water accurately hit the knee of the moving angler and knocked it over.
Professor Voladi didn’t even nod this time. It was a very natural thing.
I wasn’t disappointed because I didn’t expect much.
But it was really disappointing.
It would have been a much more exciting spectacle than any other clumsy event if even one of the outsiders from outside had been here!
* * *
Lee Han took care of one of the lesser anglerfish and couldn’t even get close.
Then I checked the fallen angler. Sadly, the angler didn’t have much. He didn’t even have that common magic stone.
Professor Boladi, who understood Lee Han’s behavior in a different way, opened his mouth.
“It’s a good move to make sure you’re knocked down properly. However, getting close to the monster is unnecessary. Learn how to check with magic.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Keep moving forward.”
Professor Voladi said from behind, a little away from Lee Han.
Lee Han tried to walk without thinking, but then he stopped.
‘for a moment.’
Come to think of it, it might be dangerous to just follow Professor Voladi’s orders.
What was the reason Professor Voladi brought him to the dungeon in the first place?
Wasn’t it because Lee Han used multiple water element magic?
If so, there was a high possibility that the dungeon had a trap that forced multiple operations.
“Space, be aware. Feet, fold the ground.”
There was a saying to knock on a stone bridge before crossing it.
But in the case of wizards, there was no need for that.
After knocking on the stone bridge, it was enough to fly across it.
Professor Voladi smiled very faintly after seeing Lee Han cast various strengthening magics first.
If a student who learns quickly from experience is a good student, Han Lee was learning before he even learned from experience.
Maybe I didn’t even know that the joy of teaching was like this.
‘Professor Voladi is still, so I feel more uncomfortable.’
Lee Han took the bone fragment out of his pocket and threw it away.
“Appear, bony hand!”
The bony hand I summoned flew in front of me.
Suddenly, an anglerfish protruded from the space that I thought was a wall. Lee Han’s eyes widened.
‘Stealth?!’
The bony hand swam in the air and tried to strangle the anglerfish, but the anglerfish’s power was even stronger. In an instant, the bony hand was pushed away.
puck!
The bone hand itself was more of a support rather than an attack magic.
It would have been enough to take the time.
After confirming that the anglerfish had appeared, Lee Han threw the water orb again and knocked the enemy down.
“…do you know how to hide?”
“The characteristics of hungry ghosts are diverse.”
“……”
Lee Han decided that it couldn’t continue like this.
Clack Clack-
As Lee Han started putting on various accessories, Professor Voladi raised his eyebrows faintly.
“Fire magic.”
“yes.”
“Good idea. A good wizard never settles down.”
It was difficult for a mage who continued to use the water element even though he was accustomed to it to develop.
A good wizard had to keep finding new challenges.
‘Even though I want to settle down, you don’t give me a chance to settle down.’
Lee Han thought to himself and focused on the flames.
Unlike the water element that I was used to now, the fire element required much more concentration.
Especially since if you lose focus even a little bit, you could burn the surroundings.
The reason Lee Han chose flame was simple.
‘Let’s shoot wherever possible.’
Lee Han, who did not know much about the monster named Agui, had few options.
And what Lee Han chose was quantity.
I will move while shooting at all the places where monsters are likely to be!
To do so, the fire element was more advantageous than the water element.
Roaring!
Small flames rose around Yihan. It was much smaller than a water ball, but considering the properties of flame, this was enough.
“Looks like you’ve adapted to this.”
“We just started?”
“Go through the dungeon and come down. I’ll be waiting.”
With the words, Professor Voladi’s figure disappeared.
“……”
Lee Han, who was left alone, tried to curse Professor Boladi.
Because I didn’t know if I could hear your voice.
* * *
Pak!
The reality did not change by cursing at Professor Voladi, who had disappeared.
Lee Han shut his mouth and dealt with the demons.
‘I think I know roughly what it’s like.’
Here in Professor Voladi’s dungeon, the demons enjoyed stealth.
Using the terrain of the dark dungeon, it was easy to find him because he was used to being close to the wall.
No matter how much Lee Han was, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised when he was holding his breath on the ceiling or crouching in a puddle…
However, he got used to this kind of fear as time passed.
Sparks flew in all directions. The flame was about two fingers long, so the destructive power was not very strong, but the effect was certain.
Like firecrackers, if you touch the flames that pop out everywhere, the hungry ghost can’t stand it and jumps out.
-■■■■!
When it popped out, I immediately threw a water ball and knocked it down.
Most anglers were able to be pulled out first with flames, and if there were still others that were not caught, they could be caught with space detection as they approached.
There were times when I was really unlucky and was ambushed, but in that case…
Puff!
Lee Han swung his cane and hit the goblin in the alley.
I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but it seemed to have more destructive power than water beads.
“…!”
Lee Han, who was walking down the narrow passageway of the cave, stopped when a cool breeze blew from far away.
There was a fairly large space at the end of the aisle. It was dark, so I couldn’t see everything, but it felt like a square.
Originally, I should have been happy as much as I had walked down this narrow road, but…
‘I really can’t be this ominous.’
Lee Han felt the intuition in his whole body send a warning.
The moment you pass through the passage and enter the plaza, the demons might be excited to welcome you!
But I couldn’t not go. Lee Han began to prepare additional magic.
* * *
Professor Garcia guided the old wizard from outside with a bright expression.
During the festival, a welcome guest came to the school.
Eumidhus.
Some of the magic developed by Eumidius, a renowned master of water elemental magic in the empire, was being used by the wizards of the empire.
Professor Garcia had learned the magic of Yumidhus during his school days, so he couldn’t help but be happy with the old wizard’s visit.
“It’s such an honor to meet you.”
“There is no need to rate this old wizard so highly…”
No one would have expected that Eumidius, who looked like a benevolent grandmother, was a battle mage who made all sorts of brilliant achievements in his childhood.
Professor Garcia looked at Eumidhus once again with a look of respect.
“Magic school is a beautiful place whenever you see it.”
“It’s a place with nice scenery.”
“It’s also a good place for students.”
“I think so too.”
“The professors…”
“All of them are great people.”
“It is not.”
Eumidhus shook his head. Professor Garcia cleared his throat with an embarrassed expression.
“Is that so? Everyone is working hard…”
“It’s not a matter of ability, but a matter of character… Well, since Gonadaltes is there, it can’t be helped. Gonadaltes might be the root of all the problems.”
“……”
Professor Garcia felt a conflict between the desire to agree with the words of the great old wizard and the thought that, as a professor, he should not curse at the principal.
You have to be patient!
“Do you have any interesting students?”
“yes.”
“There is nothing more gratifying than raising good disciples. I’ve done pretty well with other things, but I haven’t been very good at raising students.”
Professor Garcia shook his head as if asking what he was saying at Eumidhus’ humble words.
“The disciples are all great…”
“Everyone is just lacking. Come to think of it, is Voladi Bagrek here?”
“yes.”
“I’d like to meet you sometime. Can you guide me?”
“Sure.”
Professor Garcia suddenly remembered while guiding Umidhus.
Come to think of it, wasn’t it time for < Basic Magic Abuse > or < Repetitive Learning of Basic Magic Combat >?
‘I hope Umidhus-nim gets angry after watching the lecture.’
Professor Garcia went down to the basement and opened the classroom door.
But nobody was there.
“???”
“You’re giving a lecture somewhere else.”
Eumidhus tapped the floor with his cane. Then, the footsteps remaining on the floor revealed their traces, shining brightly in green.
“aha. Since the weather is nice, in the courtyard…”
“?”
Eumidhus looked at Professor Garcia as if he was talking about something.
Boladi was not the kind of person to teach because the weather was nice and the courtyard was nice.
“…is not it?”
“I must have gone to the dungeon.”
“yes?”
“A dungeon. Dungeon. Because once a student’s achievement reaches a certain level, it’s quicker to grind and polish it in practice. Are you teaching third grade?”
“……”
“Are you teaching third grade? Is it fourth grade?”
Professor Garcia, who was slightly distracted by the shocking words, shook his head at Eumidhus’ words.
“yes? that is… Professor Bagreck is not teaching third or fourth grade.”
“Fifth grade? Fifth grade would be better off the campus than on campus.”
“……”
Professor Garcia did not answer.
Instead, I quickly moved on with anxiety and nervousness.
“Let’s go!”
“Why is that?”
“It looks like Professor Bagreg took the freshman to the dungeon!”
“A freshman?”
“yes!”
“The ability must be great…”
“It’s an ability and it’s not!”
Professor Garcia burst into anger at the old wizard he respected.
