Chapter 248
“Why? Do you have something to say to Wardanaj?”
“No… no.”
Salcho shook his head.
I’ve definitely heard the name Ogonin, but it seemed highly likely that it was someone with the same name.
If it was Ogonin, he would be teaching younger students at the Magic Tower by now.
Would such a person waste his time teaching a first-year student?
“By the way, the person named Valdororn…”
“Ah. Mr. Valdororn. I met him the other day, too, and he was really wise.”
The other day, when I went outside, a student from the Black Turtle Tower who met Baldororn with Lee Han passed by and answered.
“indeed. Great.”
When all his friends reacted like this, Salcho couldn’t help but believe it.
You must be a really great wizard!

The barrier created by illusion magic was similar to a kind of lock.
If the lock was weak and loose, there was a hard and strong one, and if there was a simple structure, there was a complex structure.
The barrier created by an outstanding fantasy wizard was similar to a complex and strong lock set up in layers.
In order for an intruder to break through this barrier, he had to understand the structure of each lock and know how to unlock them.
Inevitably, the attacking side must have a higher level than the defending side to be able to release this kind of release.
Of course, Lee Han wasn’t higher than the wizards at magic schools like Giraseong, but…
Boom!
‘I’m lucky.’
Lee Han had a method he learned from Baldororn.
How to smash the lock itself by wielding an enormous amount of magical energy!
Of course, some of the barriers were prepared so that they could not be broken by force, but quite a few barriers were weak in this area.
From the common sense of wizards, it was a really ridiculous way to release the barrier in such an ignorant way.
Why would an archmage with that much magic power use such an ignorant method to break the barrier?
All you have to do is figure out the structure and unlock it!
It was only natural that he would not defend himself against such ignorant unlocking. In a way, that was a waste.
The barrier opened with the sound of the curtain tearing.
Fortunately, there was a barrier that Lee Han could penetrate.
Lee Han thanked Valdororn once again.
…of course, Baldororn didn’t tell me to disarm it like this ignorantly!
‘Anyway, the stairs are quite long.’
The spiral staircase that appeared after disabling the barrier.
It seems to have gone up quite a bit, but I couldn’t see the end.
First of all, it seems to be okay since there are no roadblocks or other obstacles…
but rattle, rattle!
A door leading to a hallway at the end of the spiral staircase caught my eye.
Quite a loud noise leaked from the open door. It looked like something was going on down the hallway.
‘Is it a magic experiment?’
Lee Han approached the door and scanned the hallway.
It was very familiar to see unfinished magic circles engraved everywhere and materials rolling around in disorder in all directions.
Whether they are wizards or not, students struggling with numerous assignments are similar everywhere.
“Are you there?”
Lee Han exclaimed cautiously.
No matter what grade there were around the hallway, it seemed better to talk first than to step in silently.
Besides, the seniors won’t even be visible to Lee Han…
Woodangtangkwandangtang!
Before Lee Han could finish his words, barrels of materials fell and wooden crates were scattered all over the place.
And a piece of paper floated into the air.
-How did you get here, junior?

There was essentially no significant difference between first-year and fourth-year students at the Magic School.
Of course, the 4th year students are better at eating meals than the 1st year students, they know more about magic school, and they know how to use more magic… Basically, when an assignment comes up, they do it, and when the exam is ahead, they have to prepare for the exam
. There was no significant difference in terms of
The same was true of Diret and Koholti, who were among the rarest black magic majors among fourth-year students.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to go around during the redeployment period?”
“okay. Originally it is. Unless some damned bastard let the frost giant king loose in the hallway and just blew the week away.”
“……”
Koholti had nothing to say even with ten mouths.
An accident in which a magical experiment with friends failed and another dimension was superimposed in the upper hallway.
The first graders would have had a happy and miraculous time in the white snow that came in the spring, but Koholti and his friends were busy trying to fix things.
The aftermath of the overlapping dimensions did not immediately disappear when the frost giant king returned, so I had to prepare by installing various magic circles around me, periodically check the situation and write a report… And all of this while preparing for assignments and final exams
. .
Professors are kind and gentle to the first year students, but they are like knives to the fourth year students.
They will never forgive them if they miss an assignment or fail an exam because of an experiment mistake they made.
“That… that’s right. Who knows, it was really bad.”
“huh. okay. I wish I could find out who it was. yes?”
“Ughhh.”
“Shut up and complete the magic circle. If you think about the remaining time, you have to work even if it wasn’t Relocation Week, it was Great Devil Week.”
The task Diret and Koholti were working on was a magic circle that controlled the powerful beings of the other world.
Beings summoned from another dimension stab the owner in the back and aim to get out of control.
The lower level summons could be controlled in a relatively simple way, but the stronger the summons became, the higher their intelligence and the stronger their will.
To control these beings, simple methods did not work. They had to mobilize high-difficulty magic.
The magic circle that the two of them were trying was one of those methods.
If completed properly, it would have the effect of weakening the summoned being’s strength and breaking its will…
“Did you finish painting the walls?”
“it’s over.”
“Check it.”
Koholti rummaged through her pocket and pulled out a round bell. It was a bell that had a contract with a lower level demon.
Of course, it was not possible to summon a powerful summon in a magic circle that had not yet been confirmed, and we had to test it by summoning a weak monster first.
pop!
A demon came out with smoke.
The demon that jumped out seemed to be suffering at first glance, but after some time passed, it noticed and tried to run to the corner.
“The east is the gate of life. I have to stop it.”
“I’ll stop you now!”
Koholti ran hard and blocked it.
Wishing my friend to forget the Frost Giant King.
“Did you stop it?”
“I blocked it.”
“Check it.”
Koholti summoned the demon again. The demon that popped out suffered a little in the beginning, but as time passed, he quickly adapted and tried to get out.
“This time, the north is open.”
“……”
Koholti let out a deep sigh.
The high-ranking magic circle was originally like this.
If one place is completed, the other place is troubled, and if that place is modified, the fine place causes problems…
“Let’s fix it again.”
“Yeah… billion.”
“?”
As Koholti flinched, Diret’s eyebrows furrowed.
It was the reaction of someone who had something going on.
“…what. What is it?”
“Oh, nothing.”
“Nothing is nothing. You just said ‘billion’ obviously.”
“Because it’s nothing…”
“Do whatever you want. If you hide it and get caught, you will be cursed with the real Black Death.”
“…Actually, the barrier against intruders hanging down there is broken…”
“Are you kidding me?!”
‘Black. I’ll hide it.’
Koholti regretted it inwardly.
I should have endured until the end without succumbing to Diret’s appeasement…
“You say that now? why is it broken Didn’t I tell you to hang it properly?”
“No… really… properly… I walked…”
“Then why did it break?”
“…I must have made a mistake…”
Koholti said, shrinking.
A period of relocation of the main building where shortcuts that did not exist are created.
During this period, older students had to pay more attention.
What if you are experimenting in the upper floors and a freshman comes in and gets hurt?
-What did you learn from going to magic school for years? To let a junior get hurt at this magic school. Does it make sense that the wounded come out of this honorable school?
-That makes sense… no. sorry.
Of course, Diret and Koholti also took measures to prevent the lower grades from stepping on the newly connected shortcut.
Barrier magic was also applied and ‘This road is protected by a barrier, so those without skills should go back!’ I wrote the same phrase…
but it suddenly broke, as if Koholti made a mistake when setting the barrier.
“Quickly go back and walk!”
“Okay!”
Koholti hurriedly tried to descend.
But the guest arrived sooner than that.
Diret and Koholti were astonished when a familiar first-year student climbed the shortcut stairs and came out through the door.
* * *
“It’s written as a shortcut to the upper floors… isn’t it?”
-That’s right.
Lee Han had a familiar conversation with the invisible Diret.
If you were a freshman at a magic school, it was not a very surprising sight.
– Wardanaz. Last time I was really thankful.
When another font came up, Lee Han was puzzled and then realized.
“ah. Was it by any chance during the King of the Frost Giants last time?”
-that’s right. hey Thank you so much…
Diret couldn’t stand it and jabbed Koholti’s back with his elbow.
“It went very well. You solved it with the help of your juniors, and now you call it bragging?”
“Ouch. Wow! Diret, my junior is watching, but the violence is…”
“I can’t see it anyway!”
Direth borrowed the power of magic and stabbed his hand.
Lee Han tilted his head as the seniors stopped talking and disappeared.
“Are you there?”
-I missed the quill for a moment.
‘Something suspicious.’
Lee Han thought so, but he didn’t bother asking further. Seniors must have their own circumstances.
-How did you get up there? Wasn’t there a barrier?
“ah. I tried disabling it, but I was lucky.”
“……”
“……”
Diret looked at Koholti as if it were absurd. Koholti blushed and lowered her head.
‘I was released by the first year…?’
If rumors of this spread to other friends, it was certain that Koholti’s nickname would become < The one who was defeated by the Iron Head > or < Under the Iron Head >.
‘That’s not important right now.’
Diret decided to ask how he unlocked it later when he got a chance, and asked about something important.
– Why on the upper floor?
“I’m looking for the Spire Stable you mentioned last time.”
Dereth was speechless.
Of course, it was Diret who told me about it, but I didn’t know that a first-year student would really seriously try to clear the way to the upper spire.
…are you really a freshman??
-…Since I told you, I can’t say anything. The Spire Stables are close by here. Walk all the way along the hallway, then turn to the side and go up the stairs and come out right away.
“Are you sure?!”
Lee Han was overjoyed.
I never thought I’d have this kind of luck thanks to Relocation Week.
‘okay. I’ve been having bad luck, so it’s time to get lucky!’
Considering what happened on weekdays and weekends so far, it wasn’t strange that a shower of gold coins poured down while walking.
It was just too much bad luck.
-for a moment. But now I can’t pass by here. I’m experimenting.
Diret drew arrows on paper.
At the end of the corridor with complicated magic circles, there was a prison made of crystal.
And inside it was imprisoned a large demon with a temper that could be seen by anyone.
-I can’t put that away until the experiment is over.
Diret gave a brief explanation of the experiment. Lee Han nodded and listened.
“Can I subdue that demon?”
-yes.
“Can we possibly pass magic inside from the outside?”
– It works, but why?
“Shine!”
Lee Han struck a bolt of lightning at an unknown demon trapped inside the crystal.
The demon roared in agony.
-Junior. Thank you for trying to help, but demons don’t give in to being beaten.
“Is that so… I’m sorry.”
‘what?’
Unlike Diret, who was looking at Lee Han while talking, Koholti, who was next to him, could clearly see the demon imprisoned in the crystal prison.
Didn’t the devil just avert his gaze?
