Chapter 242
“It’s nice to see that they are competitive.”
“…you don’t have to comfort me.”
‘It wasn’t comforting.’
It was Lee Han’s sincere words.
Isn’t it like competing to do well in the exam?
The students of the Blue Dragon Tower had to emulate that.
– Wardanaz. so sleepy I can’t turn my head One sweet cookie might make you want to study again.
– Wardanaz. Will you give me a cake when I finish my homework?
Even though they were selling for silver coins, there were times when I wanted to stab them in the back one by one when I saw my friends trying to negotiate desserts while doing their homework.
Just study!
“Shall we go in now?”
Durgyu spoke out, perhaps because the silence was awkward.
I wanted to jump in quickly and hit my friends in the back of the head.
“no.”
“Why?”
“?!”
In contrast, Lee Han and Giselle had no intention of going in now.
If left alone, they would fight among themselves and drain their strength, so why are they going in first?
“Shouldn’t it be dried?”
“It’s good to stop fighting each other to the extent of fighting each other. Durgyu. We have feelings for each other right now, but it won’t do any good if we forcefully stop it.”
“I have no choice but to agree with Wodanaz this time. that’s right. Choi. There’s nothing good about stopping them in the middle of a fight.”
“…I can’t believe the two of us right now…”
Durgyu thought it was impossible.
“Durgyu. Don’t you believe me?”
“Do you suspect the comrades you are with right now? Choi. Were you that kind of guy?”
“M-I’m sorry. I suspected you guys.”
rustle!
“?”
I heard someone moving through the bushes on the road ahead.
The three held their breath with tense faces.
“Is this right?”
“Bartrek! I know you’re inside! come out! Let’s fight fair and square! Give me the book!”
“……”
Looking at the three White Tiger Tower students who appeared again, Giselle and Durgyu sighed deeply.
A very real group…!
Lee Han muttered.
“Did the White Tiger Tower students decide to gather here today?”
“shut up.”
“I guess not.”
Courage!
With a loud noise, the White Tiger Tower students rolled out of the cave.
The students who arrived late were surprised.
“How do you guys know!?”
“You guys do that?!”
“…then let’s talk with the sword!”
“That’s what I’m going to say!”
“Fire up!”
“Leg, run!”
‘oh. You fight well.’
Lee Han admired the fierce battle of the White Tiger Tower students.
Since you don’t know when you’ll be fighting these bastards, there’s nothing wrong with checking your tactics in advance.
Although it has been stigmatized as ‘not interested in studying the most’ among the four towers of Ein Rogard, the White Tiger Tower is also a tower where the best talents in the empire have gathered.
Besides, they were enduring a hellish freshman life. It was even weirder if his magic skills didn’t increase.
The fighting style the students of the White Tiger Tower are showing now is a mixture of a swordsman and a wizard.
Even if you fight with a simple magic on your sword, shield, or body, its power multiplied several times.
Aside from their excellent swordsmanship skills, they were able to adapt to this kind of strengthening magic relatively quickly because they were trained with a solid foundation in each knight’s family.
Physical strengthening magic is more difficult to adapt to than one might think.
Right away, his limbs became lighter and strength was welling up, but not many people could skillfully control it.
Even the mercenaries who had spent their entire lives on the battlefield did the same.
This was inevitably advantageous to those who had a foundation that had been steadily accumulated since childhood.
Lee Han looked at the White Tiger Tower students a little differently in their quick and flashy clashes.
‘Why do guys who know how to fight so hard don’t study like that?’
Durgyu also concentrated on watching the fight before coming to his senses.
“Lee Han. When will I go in… Lee Han? Lee Han??”
Durgyu looked around in surprise.
Lee Han, who had been beside him until just now, was nowhere to be seen.
“Moh Moradi. Lee Han…”
“I just entered the cave after using the invisibility magic.”
“……”
* * *
While the White Tiger Tower students were fighting fiercely outside, Lee Han entered the cave.
It’s a book I’ll take later anyway, but wouldn’t it make a big difference if I took it now?
A foul smell stung my nostrils.
‘alchemy?’
A decoction boiling in a pot and a book next to the pot.
Lee Han was able to identify the identity right away.
‘Fortunately, I didn’t intend to go head-to-head with a giant.’
Come to think of it, no matter how reckless the White Tiger Tower students were, they weren’t reckless enough to fight a giant head-to-head.
Lee Han slightly reflected on his suspicion of the White Tiger Tower students.
Since there are so many crazy people in the magic school, the students of the White Tiger Tower also thought ‘no way’.
After putting the book in his pocket, Lee Han looked inside the pot.
It was to check how complete the decoction was.
“!”
Lee Han was surprised to see that the decoction was more complete than he thought.
Looking at the recipe written in the book, it was absolutely not a low-difficulty decoction. After many trials and errors, it was clear that it had been completed this far.
‘I’ll have to take care of it just in case.’
Lee Han opened the lid of the empty potion bottle and poured the decoction into it.
bang!
‘what?’
Lee Han was puzzled by the noise and other sounds coming from outside.
Could it be that the new White Tiger Tower students have arrived?
If not, why suddenly…
“It’s a Kurare lizard!”
Lee Han, who jumped out of the cave, realized what was happening.
The surrounding monsters came to the disturbance caused by the White Tiger Tower students.
“Lower your posture! If you get hit, it’s a headache!”
“Keep me away from approaching!”
The students who had just been fighting were also frightened and formed a formation with their shoulders shoulder to shoulder.
Kurare lizard, a huge lizard monster with a body like a large crocodile.
The heavy weight itself was a powerful weapon, but what was more threatening was the paralyzing poison that was shot from the salivary glands.
Hiss!
When the students gathered together, the Kurare lizard immediately shot paralysis poison. A slimy, viscous lump flew into the air.
Paralysis poison clung to the shield with a fluttering sound. The pupils of the White Tiger Tower students trembled in astonishment.
“This way! You lizard!”
The students of the White Tiger Tower were surprised when Durgyu and Giselle ran out.
no?
“Durgyu! Why are you here…”
“Concentrate!”
Lee Han shouted resolutely from behind and ran out.
“Until Wodanaz?! Why the hell… Whoa!”
One of the students, who, despite warnings, remained inquisitive, stiffened and fell forward.
The Kurare lizard swung its front paws with ferocious force. It was an ulterior motive to drag the paralyzed student away.
“I should have told you to focus!”
“Would you be able to concentrate?!”
Not only Durgyu and Giselle, but also Wodanaz suddenly jumped out, so how many people can stay calm?
But the Kurare lizards were definitely menacing. The White Tiger Tower students forgot why they were here and decided to deal with the monsters.
“Shine!”
Lightning magic exploded among the students of the White Tiger Tower along with lightning.
However, the Kurare lizard did not fit. It wasn’t because he was agile, it was because Lee Han’s aim missed from the start.
“Lee Han?!”
“Wardanas!! Were you poisoned!?”
Durgyu as well as the other White Tiger Tower students looked back in fright.
Lee Han couldn’t hit the magic.
I just couldn’t believe it.
Unless you’ve been poisoned…
“…You can miss it, you bastards. Concentrate!”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
Lee Han, more than a human being, was a being who made mistakes.
…Of course, I didn’t normally do it, but I couldn’t help but lack concentration since I stayed up all night making simple artifacts and climbed the mountain like today.
‘shit. I didn’t expect to experience it with my body like this.’
The professors kept saying, ‘Not only the magical power of a wizard, but also the will of a wizard is important in magic’, and I felt that right now.
Because of the lack of concentration, when weaving magic, it is inevitable that it will be disturbed.
‘With magic other than lightning magic…’
“Bone, seize the enemy!”
Lee Han threw a bone fragment and summoned a restraining ball.
The first magic misses and grabs the tail of the Kurare lizard, but it doesn’t matter.
“Bone, seize the enemy. Bone, seize the enemy. Bone, seize the enemy. wake up Warriors! bone. Get fired!”
The students of the White Tiger Tower, who had been wondering, ‘Is it black magic?’ even when they first summoned the Bone Restraint, were astonished at the crazy spree of spells.
Bone fragments were shooting out at random, as if aiming properly was difficult, as if you could just throw them away.
“Durgyu!”
“I brought you out!”
As the barrage of bone fragments flew like a hail, the Kurare lizard also stepped back, perhaps under the pressure.
Taking advantage of that gap, Durgyu carried the fallen friend on his back.
thud! Wow Jangchang!
“!”
Lee Han turned his head at the sound he heard from behind.
Two more lizards were coming out of the cave entrance from earlier. One of them had a pot on its head.
“My decoction!!!!”
Bartrek screamed. Gatono realized too late and shouted together.
“no! my book!”
“Are you crazy!”
Durgyu grabbed Gatono’s shoulders and shouted loudly.
“It was my fault to be greedy beyond words in the first place! to defeat a giant It is a knight’s duty to pursue honor, but if he pursues it even with excessive greed, that would be honor! look at you guys! I don’t know what that book is, but I’d rather be lucky to let the monsters take it!”
At Durgyu’s heartfelt cry, the students of the White Tiger Tower blushed with shame.
Lee Han also blushed slightly.
‘I took the book…’
“Choi. Discipline is good, but do it later. From the retreat!”
Giselle shrieked.
Another Kurare lizard appeared from the other direction.
Looking at the current situation, I wouldn’t be surprised if it increased here.
“…sorry. Durgyu! Let’s retreat! Friends!”
“I was wrong! We’ll all get out together!”
“Well thought out everyone!”
While the students of the White Tiger Tower passionately resolved, Lee Han endured awkwardness and shouted.
“okay! Let’s get out of here together!”
“Wardanaz…!”
When one of the students tried to embrace him, Lee Han pushed it away with his hand.
* * *
Retreating from a situation surrounded by monsters was more difficult than expected.
I had to step back while continuing to threaten, but if I gave even a little gap, the tail was immediately caught.
“Gonadaltes. keep in check the sharkan. Stop the guy on the left!”
“what?! who?!”
“Be focused!”
right!
Lee Han hit one of the White Tiger Tower students in the back of the head with his cane.
Now was not the time to look away.
“Bone, shoot!”
Lee Han made good use of the Skeleton Warrior as a bullet.
Although unable to move, the summoned Skeleton Warriors are a collection of bones.
In Lee Han’s situation, where it was difficult to control or aim due to fatigue, this amount of material capable of shutting down and shooting was very useful.
Cheeky!
-■■■!
As another attack was blocked by the floating shield, the lizard let out a menacing sound.
He seemed rather annoyed.
‘I’m so glad you came back with your shield on!’
Lee Han did not appreciate the foresight of the professors, but was grateful for being lucky.
If it hadn’t been for the floating shield, a few more students from the White Tiger Tower would have collapsed.
“Wardanaz.”
“?”
“If you send them to the other side, the lizards will be divided. Wouldn’t it be better to quickly go back and call in support?”
Giselle whispered in a low voice.
From Giselle’s point of view, the situation was not very good.
The condition of Wardanaz was also strangely bad, and the monsters were chasing them without giving up.
Then I had to make a choice.
If divided here, it was clear that the Kurare Lizard would pursue the other White Tiger Tower students instead of pursuing Giselle or Wodanaz.
Because it was an easier opponent no matter who looked at it.
It didn’t matter if you cursed at me for being mean. Giselle decided it was better to quickly go back and call in support.
‘for a moment. If it’s Wodanaz, he might refuse because of face…’
Lee Han immediately replied.
“That is a very good idea. Then you convince Durgyu.”
“…Choi doesn’t listen to me. It would be better if you said it.”
“shit.”
Lee Han couldn’t resist.
“Split! Durgyu! Come this way! The others go that way!”
“Split! Durgyu! Come this way! The others go that way!”
At the cry of the two charismatic students, the White Tiger Tower students moved and watched.
Durgyu also moved.
…toward the White Tiger Tower students.
“Kuh! Lizard children…!”
“Durgyu! Come!”
“I can’t solve the formation!”
Durgyu, who was maintaining the formation with his friends, missed the full timing and moved together.
Lee Han and Giselle sighed.
“Let’s get it later.”
“That child. Save me later.”
“…Wait. It looks like the monsters are coming our way.”
