Chapter 522
“Put me in the vanguard! I will bring victory!”
Anrago exclaimed cheerfully.
Suffering from muscle pain, Lee Han looked at Angrago like a madman.
‘With what kind of confidence did he say such a thing?’
Listening to what he said, the opponents were gyeoggu madmen who only ate gyeokgu, and the students here were wizards who always put magic first.
I don’t know where that confidence comes from.
“Ang. How do you win in this situation?”
“Wardanaz. I have been playing Gyeokgu without a day off. Sometimes more than ten.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at Angrago with contempt.
‘This bastard somehow fell asleep while studying…’
No matter how much I thought about it, sports like Gyeokgu had to be banned by school rules.
If that were the case, the average score of the White Tiger Tower students would rise by 20 points.
“professor! Put me in the vanguard…”
“Wait. Alpha. Didn’t you fall off the horse in the last race?”
“yes? yes. Yes, but that’s a mistake…”
“Then you’re a candidate.”
“…Oh no! professor! This is not it! This is not it!!”
Angrago protested vehemently, unlike his usual attitude of not being interested in studies, but Professor Lightning Walk was calm.
It was a disadvantage, but I couldn’t trust a guy who only talked about it.
All it took was skill.
“Wardanaz. Richmond. The other guys are important, but you two are especially important. Do you understand?”
“professor. I’m still not fully recovered from the stone throwing festival this week.”
“A stone-throwing festival? ah. Saint Iaktus Festival? for a moment. Why are you there… Professor Verdus must have taken them.”
‘It’s not.’
Lee Han tried to say that he was Professor Lagrinde, but stopped.
Because I didn’t feel the need to point it out.
“Do you have severe muscle pain?”
“yes.”
“Hmm.”
Professor Lightningwalk rummaged through his luggage and brought out a potion.
“This will be fine. Because it’s a potion that doesn’t fit the rules. Drink.”
“Thank you… um. Is it a recovery potion?”
Lee Han, who opened the lid and drank the potion, was puzzled.
The pain in the whole body disappeared quickly.
This was much more effective than the acceleration potion I received in the healing room.
“no. It is a potion that makes you feel no pain.”
“……”
While Lee Han was shocked, Professor Lightning Walk called the students with good grades and gave instructions.
“You guys lack both team tactics and individual skills. Even riding is a little pushed.”
Nilia raised her hand and asked incredulously.
“Can’t you at least change the mount?”
The other party brought ostriches, goats, wolves, turtles, etc., but this side is just a horse.
However, Professor Lightning Walk shook his head slowly.
“On the contrary, that is more advantageous for you guys. Unusual mounts have their advantages, but they are more difficult to handle and more violent. In contrast, your words are loyal and honest. Especially if you guys took good care of me throughout this year.”
The students unknowingly made faces full of pride.
It reminded me of how much I devoted myself to the horse, going back and forth from the stables throughout the year.
The sweat and time shed never betrayed them.
Kainando grumbled and tore the remaining straw off his head.
“How loyal and honest he is… he always bites me when he sees my head.”
The lightning stride professor ignored him and continued.
“The only tactic you can use is at-bat. If you go for a long time, the opponent’s stamina will drop first.”
Black Turtle Tower student Shiles asked puzzled.
He knew the characteristics of various vehicles as much as he made wagon transportation his family’s business.
“Isn’t the opponent’s mount not particularly lacking in stamina compared to the horse?”
“ah. The horse you ride has much better endurance because I specially raised it. Don’t let the other person know.”
“……”
“……”
“Come on. Then lower the defensive line, don’t miss the reins as much as possible, and don’t cry when you get hit… Wodanaz. Come here.”
“?”
Lee Han was puzzled when he was called out by Professor Lightning Step.
“Are you trying to give me another potion? I know it’s a foul, but if there’s a way not to get caught…”
“What? no. is that a foul I have no intention of making that happen.”
‘I don’t think it would be strange even if I asked him to.’
“In fact, you are one of the reasons I expect to win this friendly.”
“yes?”
Lee Han hesitated.
There was a limit to what Lee Han could do in a situation where he could neither use magic nor attack using magical power.
No matter how well you ride a horse and are good at swordsmanship, can you overcome skilled gyukgu players?
“What are you riding on?”
“A phone league?”
“okay. And the phone league…”
“Ah.”
Lee Han realized what the professor was aiming for.
‘aha!’
“Is it okay if I unleash the phone league transformation and wipe out all the other players’ mounts?”
“…Are you dissatisfied with me because I forced you out? If so, please tell me now.”
* * *
After finishing his preparations, Professor Lightning Walk crossed his arms and looked at the stadium with a frown.
Captain Bulpard, who was from an urban aristocrat, who stood beside him said with a smile.
“Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”
“What are you saying?”
“What more honor could there be than competing with the famous Einrogard students? really. I heard that the students from the Ein Rogard Gokko Club got good grades this time?”
“It means nothing unless we win…”
“What are you saying? Isn’t the process important?”
“hmm.”
Professor Lightning Step frowned even more at the rising anger.
In fact, the opponent was not really at fault.
He was a pure partner who came to me after receiving the offer and wanting to say ‘this is a good proposal’… But
when I was in a bad mood, I hated him even more for nothing.
In addition, the fact that several key players, including the captain, were missing among the players of the Gyeokgu club made Professor Lightning Step angry.
Of course, the opponent was arranged that way to be considerate of the freshmen who have not yet had any experience in fighting ball, but people tend to get very upset when their favorite sport is involved.
After the recent poor results of the Einrogard students, Professor Lightning Stride was very thirsty for victory.
“I hope more people will feel the charm of Gyeokgu in today’s friendly match and join the Gyeokgu club next year.”
“I’m going in!”
Angrago shouted in a loud voice from the crowd. At those words, Bulpard nodded brightly.
“Someday, maybe we can meet and play Gyeokgu together! By the way, professor. Why is that student sitting? You look like you like gyeokgu?”
“Your leg is broken.”
“Oh…”
He looks fine, but his leg is broken. Bulpard looked at Anrago with pity.
In the meantime, students and players faced each other and greeted each other.
“Please take good care of me.”
“It is an honor to play a friendly against the students of Einrogard.”
The players of Granden City spoke with sincerity.
Lee Han suddenly became curious and asked a question.
“By the way, there must be some seniors who belong to the school kyeokgu club. Haven’t there been friendly matches so far?”
“ah. Einrogard students usually do with other magic schools, don’t they?”
“That… no.”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
‘Then why do we…’
If the other magic school students are busy, we can just wait.
“I see…”
Seeing that Lee Han seemed to be interested, the excited opponent started talking about the charm of Gyeokgu.
“Ein Rogard Gokko Club is a really historic club. The new empire prize money record set before is still unbreakable.”
“A prize?”
“yes.”
“Is there a prize money for Gyeokgu?”
“Is there?”
Lee Han was surprised.
Shiles, who was next to him, was also surprised.
‘Why don’t you know that…?’
From money paid by spectators to prize money that various celebrities put their names on.
Gyeokgu was something you could earn as long as you could win.
And more than anything, I couldn’t understand why Wodanaz didn’t know this.
“Magic school students don’t use the prize money they receive for magic research.”
“ah. yes. What is it?”
Lee Han came to his senses while imagining entering the Gyeokgu club and embezzling the prize money he received for business expenses.
Anyway, there will be no money coming out in the friendly matches right now.
‘Let’s concentrate.’
“Hut. Are you from the Richmond family by any chance?”
“oh. yes.”
The players also talked to Shiles, who was next to them.
The friendly players’ eyes changed sharply and they started whispering to each other.
“Check that student first…”
“Because you don’t know, never let your guard down.”
“……”
* * *
Beep!
As soon as it started, dust rose in the vast arena.
Two players, riding an ostrich and a wolf, rushed at it, dribbling the ball with poles.
Shiles, who took the right side, exclaimed urgently.
“Everyone stays in formation and doesn’t get pushed… kuk kuk kuk kuk!?”
The wolf immobilized Shiles’ horse, and the ostrich kicked swiftly.
Shiles bounced back and rolled around.
Seeing this, the students of the White Tiger Tower unknowingly screamed.
“Such advanced technology!”
“It’s the perfect < player drop >!”
‘What’s the name of that bastard’s technique…’
“Hold on, everyone! I’m coming!”
Lee Han realized that the difference in skill between his friends and the players was bigger than he thought.
At this rate, instead of holding on, it seemed that he would break through and score a goal.
The only thing that could pass the time right now was Lee Han, who was riding the griffon.
“Phone League. request.”
Hearing affectionate words from his owner for the first time in a really, really long time, Ponrig’s eyes burned red and a rough breath flowed from his mouth.
bang!
“careful! right!”
“Stop!”
When Lee Han, who was on the left side, made a sharp turn to the right side, other players blocked the ball to protect the player who was driving the ball.
Lee Han gritted his teeth and prepared for a collision.
Even if the direct attack was over the shoulder, as we saw earlier, the situation varied from an attack using a mount to an attack below the shoulder.
I couldn’t cut down the seasoned players with a single knife, so I had no choice but to believe in the mass of the phone league and break through.
-Cut cut!!!!
“?”
The mountain goat blocking the front suddenly screamed and turned around, and the player on top was also taken aback.
A colleague who has been working together for a long time reacted like this?
The wolf next to him did the same.
As the phone rig approached, it frightened and widened the distance.
A breakthrough was made in an instant, and Lee Han ran. Seeing that, the lightning-walking professor punched the air with his fist.
“yes!”
“How?!”
Bulpard shouted, not understanding.
what the hell just happened?
‘The effect is much better than I thought!’
The lightning stride professor struggled to hold back his smile and rejoiced inwardly.
It was an activity that made me want to shout out a perfect score right now.
“That horse was originally a griffon.”
“yes? But…”
As the opponent was at a loss for words, Professor Lightning Strikes struck first.
“Of course, handling a griffon for a first year student might feel dangerous. However, dealing with griffons is not that dangerous if there is clear preparation in advance.”
Professor Lightning Walk spread lies without spitting on his lips.
In fact, from an objective point of view, no matter what preparations were made, dealing with Griffon was very, very dangerous.
“No… not that.”
“?”
“We also trained in case we faced Griffin as our opponent. But why are you so scared…” “…?
!”
