Chapter 285
Yesterday’s incident of almost being trapped while robbing the kitchen taught Lee Han a lesson.
Doubt everything in Ein Lorgard!
‘I didn’t know the water cannon would come flying.’
All you have to do is calmly jump over the installed obstacles.
Isn’t it too easy?
Lee Han naturally expected that there would be additional traps.
Thanks to that, only the students who dared to run away from Ein Lorgard were enjoying the bitter taste.
“Wardanaz! It’s too much…”
“Wardanaz didn’t shoot!”
“ah. okay?”
“……”
“Professor! The spirit must have been summoned by mistake!”
“I installed it, so try to avoid it.”
“yes? What is that…”
“You’d better focus on the time to talk. If you fall, you lose points.”
The students, who had started off vigorously, hurriedly slowed down and scattered.
I realized that running fast is not everything.
The loss was greater if I accidentally increased my speed and got caught in a surprise attack and fell off the horse.
“Gather over here! Let’s go this way!”
“There are no traps, right?”
“Just this side was fine! A lot of people gathered together at once…”
Roaring!
“Don’t try to memorize it. Because it wasn’t so easy to place.”
“No…Professor!!”
The student, whose hair had been burned, looked at the professor who walked with lightning as if it were absurd.
Why are you so sincere about obstacles?
Can’t we just put up hurdles that we can jump over?
“Everyone this way.”
Lee Han called his friends.
I felt it the other day, but it was advantageous to basically make a group and pass the riding training lecture.
As the size increases, it becomes easier to withstand attacks from outside, as well as the increase in the magician’s hands means that the amount of magic that can be used increases.
“Don’t be in a hurry, let’s just go at a quick pace. Asan. You take the left one. Yoner. I’ll ask for the right one. Nilia. Please follow me.”
“Am I ahead?”
Gainando asked naturally.
“no. You just stay next to me and tell me to use magic.”
“indeed. It’s like a trump card, just in case. Right?”
“……”
“…Uhm.”
Friends admired Gainando’s positive attitude.
“let’s go. Once you’re late, it’s hard to catch up.”
Lee Han and his friends nodded once and left.
The lightning walk professor who saw it rated it highly inwardly.
‘Well done in a short amount of time.’
Coordinating with others on horseback was completely different from cooperating with others on a flat field.
As we had to keep pace with each other while dealing with harsh words, it was important to understand each other as well as to handle words well.
Even though they are not the same top students, they put together in an instant.
“right!”
Yihan, feeling the flow of magic, spoke first, and Yoner immediately took out the potion.
Casting a spell on a swaying horse could have failed. In that case, the potion prepared in advance was safer.
Clink!
With the sound of the potion bottle breaking, the flying magic missiles scattered.
‘It’s a < lower magic invalid potion >.’
“left!”
Asan waved his staff as if he had waited. The magic was cast safely as it had been prepared earlier.
A lump of mud that had been blown in by the strong wind changed its orbit.
Lee Han didn’t even need to tell me about the attack from behind. Nilia, who noticed it first, immediately fired an arrow and knocked it down.
‘Good start!’
‘As it is…!’
Even without exchanging glances, the friends could feel that they were on the same page.
A sense of unity that can only be felt through perfect breathing!
Chow ah!
But the crisis was just beginning.
It flew in as a green mist spread behind it.
It was an obstacle that could not be dropped by shooting it with a bow or blocked by magic. Nilia’s hand stopped for a moment.
“Evaporate!”
When Nilia couldn’t seem to respond, Lee Han immediately swung his staff. A green mist dispersed in the air.
Seeing this, Professor Lightning Walk was startled.
‘Evaporation?!’
Evaporation property, an advanced area of water elemental properties.
As it is a difficult and esoteric area, of course, it was not something that a first-year student could deal with.
Moreover, balancing on a horse, blowing the fog at a distance at once.
It was new, but I was really surprised every time I saw it.
Talent is talent, but that passion for learning that never stops exploring magic is really…
Papa Papa Papa Papa!
“!!!”
This time, the crisis came from the side of Asan.
When more than ten spheres of magical power flew at the same time, he became nervous.
“O soil… Cough Cough!”
As much as it required a high level of concentration, using magic in battle was more difficult than expected.
Even the most seasoned mage could make mistakes at any time if he wasn’t professionally trained in magical combat.
This wasn’t a combat situation, but it was enough to make a first-year student make a mistake.
“Shield, unfold!”
Lee Han quickly summoned water and transformed it into an elongated shield. There was a dull sound as the orb of magical power slammed down on top of it.
“I’m done with the potion!”
Gainando urgently shouted. While blocking the other side, an attack was coming from Yoner’s direction as well.
“Shine!”
I was able to breathe a sigh when I blocked the attack with lightning.
When it was time to take a breather, Lee Han told his friends.
“Everyone suffered. We were able to break through thanks to everyone working together.”
“……”
“……”
“……”
“Why is everyone like that?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Friends waved their hands.
…I think I would have been able to break through even if I just ran alone with Wodanaz…
* * *
As time passed, students who succeeded in breaking through began to emerge one by one.
No matter how many obstacles there are, if you keep crashing into them, your blocking skills will inevitably increase.
“More speed up!”
Shiles of the Richmond family gave a signal by waving his arms wide.
He himself is an excellent jockey, and his friends who move like Shiles are among the best in the tower for their riding skills.
It was only natural for the students to stand out as they were confident enough to ride horses and play Gyeokgu during their free time.
If Lee Han’s party formed a solid formation and chose the forward method, Shiles’ party quickly increased their speed and chose to break through.
In the process, one or two unlucky people would leave, but I thought I would take that much into consideration.
‘I will get the best grade in this lecture!’
With the sound of the horse’s hooves rapidly pounding the ground, Shiles ran away.
With obstacles everywhere, it was usually impossible with skill and guts to speed up like this. Certainly, Shiles was an excellent jockey.
“This is the turning point!”
‘at las!’
Shiles’ heart swelled at the thought of making a turning point that could be seen in the distance and going back.
At that moment, a huge monster appeared from the ground with a heavy vibration.
“…?!”
Before the dust had cleared, a loud cry came from behind.
“Hydra!”
“what?! Hydra?!”
The students flinched in surprise.
However, when the dust disappeared, it was not the hydra that emerged from within.
It was just an ordinary sand octopus.
“It’s all good. It wasn’t a hydra.”
“Not fortunately!”
The huge sand octopus was by no means a formidable monster.
Of course, compared to the Hydra, it doesn’t have deadly poison, and it’s a much less ferocious monster, but in this situation…
Crack!
The long legs of the sand octopus flew like a whip. With a sharp sound, the sand rose up and covered the view.
“It’s my favorite monster, so don’t attack me!”
Professor Lightning Steps from behind said happily.
It was rewarding to raise them with expensive feed.
“professor! No matter what, this is soooooooo!”
One of the students who tried to argue was entangled in the leg of the octopus and dragged away.
“Think about getting out of the way by quickly setting the halfway point during the time to argue.”
“It wasn’t a hydra.”
Lee Han, who arrived late, muttered as he watched the chaos at the turning point.
Suddenly, a large monster came out from below, so I thought of the Hydra I had heard about before.
“Wardanaz! It’s not a hydra! How dare you use such tricks!”
To the protest from the other side, Lee Han tried to answer that it was a mistake.
However, Asan and Gainando answered first.
“A fool is a fool!”
“Where are the people who trust others in competition! You lose because you are complacent!”
“Keugh…! These bastards!”
“……”
Lee Han stared at the back of their heads before looking away.
Now, what is more important than clearing up misunderstandings is to make a turning point and get out.
‘We have to do it as soon as possible.’
As time passed, the number of other students who drew attention from the side decreased, and the difficulty level increased.
“Haze!”
One of the students of the Black Turtle Tower managed to summon an illusion in the midst of confusion as to whether he had a talent for illusion magic.
It was not a fantasy in very good condition. The shape was crushed and not clear, so anyone who looked closely could tell that it was an illusion.
But in such a chaotic situation, it was easy to be fooled. What’s more, the opponent isn’t a monster.
Chow ah!
However, the sand octopus did not pay attention to the illusion, and stretched out its legs and grabbed one of the students.
“!”
Lee Han realized that.
‘I can’t detect it with my eyes!’
As much as he had learned about fantasy magic quite harshly, Lee Han knew that fantasy magic was divided into several classes.
The illusion just like that was an illusion magic that uses sight.
It was magic that distorted the surrounding air with heat or froze the air with cold to create an illusion.
However, it was meaningless if the opponent could not see it with their own eyes. In fact, the sand octopus was half buried in the ground.
‘I heard that the visibility is too good…’
It was clear that he noticed the enemy’s approach through the vibrations resonating on the ground.
If that were the case, such a series of fantasies would have no meaning.
‘Fahite’s illusion magic doesn’t work. The method…’
Lee Han prepared to use < Gonadaltes' Invisibility Cloak > and an invisibility necklace.
Unlike Faheit’s fantasy magic, which creates illusions with heat, Gonadaltes’ invisibility cloak or invisibility necklace was a type of fantasy magic that directly approached perception.
“Cloak, swallow me!”
“Wardanaz. Keeping pace on a horse is impossible!”
“Know. Let’s break through one by one. Others draw attention!”
Instead of breaking through all at once, Lee Han chose to break through in parts.
It might take a little longer, but it was safe. The area of invisibility magic was not wide enough to include all of my friends on horseback.
“let’s go!”
Lee Han set off with Yoner. The other friends scattered and drew attention so that the sand octopus would not suspect it.
Woo woo woo!
“!”
The sand octopus suddenly inflated its body. Lee Han and Yoner were nervous about the unexpected situation.
Shhhhhhh!
The sand octopus started blowing strong winds as if it felt something was wrong.
A wind mixed with sand engulfed the students like a storm. The sudden gust of wind made it difficult to secure visibility.
‘It’s a big deal!’
Even if Lee Han himself endured, Yoner’s horse was flustered by the sudden sandstorm.
The moment you get out of the invisibility, the sand octopus will notice your approach.
The moment Yihan tried to tie Yoner’s horse by force, help came from behind.
It was Cainan Island.
“Get itchy!!!”
Gainando, who threw the curse magic with great vigor, did not stop and rushed forward.
The sand octopus stopped paying attention to the other students and focused on Gainando.
The cheeky curse magic had offended the sand octopus.
“Cainan Island…!”
Lee Han was really surprised.
I knew that Gainando had a talent for black magic, but I never thought he would be so active in the current situation.
“Lee Han!”
“Okay! While you draw attention, it passes quickly…”
“Help me!!! This son of a bitch won’t listen!!!”
Cainando left those words and rushed forward like a darting arrow, and was dragged away.
“……”
Yoner, who had barely calmed down and returned, asked Yihan.
“Didn’t Kainando shout something?!”
“He told me to break through quickly because I’ll draw attention.”
“!?”
Yoner was startled.
can’t you?
