Chapter 446
“What if I catch it!”
He was one of the most seasoned explorers in the empire, Professor Lightning Walk, but when he saw his first-year student grabbing the siren by the back and dragging it up, a scream came out automatically.
“Isn’t it okay?”
Lee Han asked in confusion.
Her face was full of innocence, saying, ‘Of course, sirens are also aquatic creatures.’
Professor Lightning Walk covered his face with both hands and let out a deep sigh.
“no no. I guess it’s an aquatic creature…”
Come to think of it, Lee Han didn’t do anything wrong.
Lightningwalker asked me to catch an aquatic creature.
But…
‘No matter how much I thought I’d catch the siren.’
If you go to the mountain and ask for something to eat, you will bring a wild boar if you give in moderate amounts of mushrooms or wild vegetables, but no one has found a dragon and caught it.
Likewise, in a test to go into an underwater cave and catch a rare aquatic creature, no one can find a siren…
“…How did you catch it… No, let it go for now. Are you angry right now?”
-♩! ♬!! ♪♪♪♪!!!
The siren sang in a fiery soprano voice. Even though Lee Han was not well versed in singing, he could guess that the other person was angry.
“ah. I thought getting angry was also part of the test. sorry.”
Lee Han let go of Siren’s back. The sirens jumped right into the water and sang bloodily with only their faces exposed.
-♩♪ ♬♩♩♪!!!!!
“I don’t know what that means, but I’m sorry.”
“I will apologize, so please stop singing. Because the students are falling.”
Professor Lightning Walk apologized instead and said to the siren.
Siren sang a song to somehow dominate Lee Han, but only the students were staggering as if possessed.
The Siren, who had called for a long time without stopping, finally coughed as if they were tired. Then, briskly, he approached Professor Lightningwalker.
“That’s why I didn’t do it on purpose… no. I’m sorry. I didn’t expect to get caught either. And honestly, who would have thought that I would be caught by a 1st year wizard in the water…”
-♩♪♪♪♪♪!!
“I’ll give you double the promised reward, so take it easy. And other freshmen are never at that level, so don’t worry too much… it’s true. Think about it. Haven’t you ever seen a first year student like that in Ein Lorgard?”
Professor Lightning Walk soothed the siren while sweating.
The siren, whose anger was finally released, plunged into the water again. Professor Lightningwalk let out a sigh of relief.
‘I somehow persuaded him.’
As an examiner in an undersea cave, none were more appropriate than the Sirens.
If they got angry and left, they would have had to reconsider the exam.
“Are you sure the siren can’t?”
“Are you sure the sirens are gone?”
Professor Lightning Step checked the surface of the water and then said.
“Good job. It’s perfect.”
As the surprise and absurdity went away, Professor Lightning Walk returned to the spirit of praising his student.
I still don’t know how I got it, but catching a siren in the water was amazing.
If this fact was known, the captains of several expedition ships might come running with their eyes open.
“ah. As expected… Is it true that catching sirens was part of the test? I knew that too.”
Lee Han looked at the professor with respect.
When a proud siren got really caught and got angry, he pretended not to know to appease it.
After all, the professor couldn’t be a half-man.
“…That’s right.”
Instead of explaining, Professor Lightning Walk decided to just move on.
“Tell me how you got it. I’m curious.”
* * *
-♪♬♩♩♩♬
Lee Han, who hit Gainando on the cheek, realized that it was ineffective and responded immediately.
‘Siren!’
I never thought that cruel pranksters from the mixed blood of mermaids and spirits would appear.
‘Was the aquatic creature the professor said a siren?’
Lee Han pulled the rope tied around the possessed friends three times. Upon receiving the signal, he started pulling up the rope.
Feeling relieved, Lee Han immediately covered his ears, chanted a spell, and rushed at Siren.
When the wizard came running without being possessed, the sirens were startled and sang louder.
-♪♪♪♪♪♪… ?!!
However, no matter how loudly he sang and concentrated the power of the song, Lee Han did not change at all. It was because I had blocked my ears beforehand.
* * *
“…not because you covered your ears, but because your resistance is monstrous. The siren’s song is not blocked by covering your ears. It is a common misunderstanding.”
“ah. Is that so?”
* * *
No matter how loudly he sang and concentrated the power of the song, Lee Han did not change at all. It was because of his natural magic.
Witnessing the pursuer approaching sanely for the first time in her life, the Siren began to distance themselves in amazement.
-♬♩♩! ♬♩♩! ♬♩♩!
‘What kind of curse are you throwing?’
Siren was embarrassed to come and sang, but unfortunately it did not reach Yihan, who did not know the siren language.
‘Sirens are beings that have inherited the lineage of ancient spirits. I might be able to use an evil ability I don’t know about.’
Rather, it only raised Lee Han’s vigilance.
Instead of playing on Siren’s palm, Lee Han decided to give her flesh and take her bones.
-Come on… Perkuntra’s thunderbolt!
Lightning, which would normally have been shot in a straight line, was discharged in all directions and cast like wide-area magic.
It was an unusual phenomenon that could only be done underwater.
Of course, the lightning also hit Lee Han, but Lee Han endured with his natural resistance. Siren was even more flustered at the numb sensation he felt for the first time in his life.
Pak!
The sirens stopped their paralyzed tail fins and sang a song to mobilize the water spirits.
It was an ulterior motive to speed up by borrowing power somehow.
However, the running water spirits suddenly saw Lee Han, startled, and ran away like crazy.
-????????
Siren was stunned by the sudden betrayal of her blood relative. In the meantime, Lee Han cast a spell to block the Siren’s path.
-Come on…
-?!
When the opposing mage summoned the energy of flame from the water, Siren was taken aback because she didn’t know what she was doing.
Trying to cast fire magic in the water.
No idiot wizard would do that…
RURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
An elaborate wall of flame spread and blocked the front.
Lee Han felt his eyes turn red for a moment.
To think that the flame magic that had been rotting inside was completed with such a clean shape transformation.
* * *
“I was really impressed.”
“That… I shouldn’t be impressed, but I shouldn’t be surprised at the fire that doesn’t go out in the water… No. done. Continue.”
* * *
Siren struggled in complete panic. Lee Han was able to swim easily and catch Siren.
Caught by the strength that was unbelievable for a magician, Siren struggled and tried to meet Lee Han’s eyes.
Singing wasn’t the only ability engraved in Siren’s blood. Siren were able to perform instinctive fantasy magic by looking into each other’s eyes.
A powerful ability to read the opponent’s vessel and show illusions of what the opponent wants.
Normally, there was a song so there was nothing to use, but since the song didn’t work, the siren desperately tried to meet his eyes.
-!!!!!
And the moment our eyes met, I was frightened by the magic that I felt and stiffened like a piece of wood.
Lee Han thought that his opponent had finally given up and grabbed his back and swam up.
* * *
“They are hard to convince, so what if they scare you…”
“Yes? You didn’t threaten me?”
“It’s not about threatening with words… it’s not. done. You worked hard, get some rest.”
The lightning-walking professor was dumbfounded and praised the admirable student.
It was embarrassing, but it was indeed a great achievement.
Who would catch a siren in this weather?
“yes. All right.”
However, instead of wrapping himself in a blanket and resting, as expected by Professor Lee Han, he approached his friends.
“Hey guys. You’re right about catching the siren. It definitely seems like a high-scoring target.”
“really?!”
“But how do you catch the siren?”
“Wardanaz. I’m really sorry, but could you show me just once?”
Lee Han nodded his head at the earnest request of several top friends.
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to take a break, but since I had already taken the test, I could demonstrate it to my friends at least once.
“ruler. Everyone, breathe underwater and come into the water. Guinan Island. Why are you holding your cheek?”
“I don’t know. I must have hit a stone earlier.”
Gainando held onto his swollen cheek and grumbled.
While I was unconscious for a moment earlier, it seemed that the guys upstairs had pulled the rope hard and put it somewhere.
“How to catch a siren… um. no. It would be quicker to show you how to catch it yourself. I’ll catch it again, so why don’t you guys watch it from afar?”
“So far…!”
“Wardanaz…!”
Professor Lightning Step, who was listening, opened his mouth wide in amazement.
* * *
The students eventually gave up on catching the siren and went into the sea cave to find rare aquatic creatures.
Seeing the water rabbit Yoner had brought, Lee Han said with envy.
“Didn’t you bring a water hare instead of a siren? The water hare looks easier.”
“……”
-……
Professor Lee Han and Siren looked at Lee Han as if they were dumbfounded.
In particular, Siren glared at Lee Han like an enemy.
The humiliation of being caught three times in one day by the same magician (Gainando did not understand, so Lee Han showed it once more) did not go away easily.
Lee Han felt Siren’s gaze and turned his head. Then the siren quickly averted her gaze.
I wouldn’t know if it was before I went into the water and ran deep, but I didn’t have the confidence to curse at that wizard right now outside the water.
“…ruler. Let’s all say thank you to the siren for all your hard work!”
The lightning-walking professor noticed the siren’s displeasure and called the students.
A reconciliation had to be made if Professor Lightningwalker’s name did not want to be blacklisted among the mysterious creatures of Einrogard.
“thank you! Sirens!”
“The song was really good!”
The students did not have any ill feelings towards the siren.
Being possessed by the song was more like a dreamy and beautiful memory than unpleasant.
And, in fact, the students tended to be caught and dragged much more gently than the Sirens.
Siren held up her chin arrogantly as if it was unreasonable and listened to the students’ praise.
“I was also grateful. Sirens.”
-…♪♪♪♪!!
Siren, who was good at controlling his emotions, exploded and sang to Lee Han.
The lightning-walking professor hurriedly interrupted the lecture and finished the lecture.
“Everyone had a hard time! The direct descendant of the Sea Song Spirit has suffered a lot too! You can go back now! really. Wodanaz.”
“yes?”
“I think it would be better not to approach the place where the siren comes out when walking around Einrogard!”
“No… It was just a lecture test, isn’t it too much?”
Lee Han was saddened by the uncool Siren’s reaction.
* * *
“There is a cabin!”
“Throw the hook!!”
“Got it!!”
morning.
After taking a break, Lee Han and the other top students rode on top of the Tanjueo and were hunting whales or hunting huts.
A hook caught on the drifting cabin and slowly began to drag it.
‘what? Where do you think I saw it?’
Lee Han was puzzled by the familiar appearance of the cabin.
