Chapter 566
After a while.
Lee Han drank < Ahrak's Red Poison > with a serious face.
“By the way, senior. What kind of poison is this?”
I didn’t think much of it when I drank it, but after drinking it, I suddenly wondered what kind of poison it was.
The violent and complicated flow of magical energy inside the poison didn’t seem to be normal poison.
Direth warned, extending his index finger.
“Stop thinking useless and focus on your poison. As soon as you feel a reaction, speak up.”
Even a black magician who handles poison could be poisoned.
No, rather, it could be more severely poisoned by handling poison.
Even if you build up your own tolerance and make immunity, if you make a new poison, a little mistake can take your life.
It was something that could be known just by looking at the end of Ahrak.
“how is it? Can you feel the reaction?”
“Um… no. It has no effect.”
Lee Han closed his eyes concentrating on the poison, then shook his head.
Even though it had been a while since I drank it, there was no poison in my body at all.
It was because the poison could not overcome Lee Han’s magic and faded away.
“This too? Hmm…”
Diret frowned slightly.
I was expecting < Ahrak's Red Poison > to break through this junior’s poison resistance and make him poisoned, but it didn’t even hit me.
“sorry.”
“It’s not your fault, junior. Rather than that, we need to teach them how to deal with addiction.”
There was a reason why Diret was trying to poison his junior somehow.
It was because experiencing the poisoned state was also quite important to the black magician who handled the poison element.
In a state of poisoning, how to move mana to prevent progress and how to detoxify it.
These things are safe for warlocks, but they are also helpful in researching poisonous elements.
The problem was that this junior did not become poisoned no matter what poison he fed.
“Ouch. Cuckoo. Heck heck.”
“Khahak. Kehek. Kehehe.”
In contrast, Cainando and Rapadel were gasping for breath in contemplation.
Diret calmly warned.
“Don’t try to force your breath just because it’s hard to breathe. You can last for one minute, so give up hiding and find a way to decipher it.”
“Hehehehehehehehehehe.”
“So-so, so-so.”
The two scratched the desk and glared at Diret.
It wasn’t the first time he’d seen it, so Diret was unmoved.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh yes yes! thank you.”
Ymirg held back the pain in his forearm and brandished his staff.
It was a great response.
‘It’s a bit lonely.’
Lee Han felt left out.
Of course, I didn’t want to be addicted, but it was a bit embarrassing to stay still when all my friends were addicted and were jumping.
“Can’t it be a stronger poison?”
“no. Right now < Ahrak's Red Poison > is enough poison to kill.”
“That… Huh? < Ahrak’s Red Poison >?”
Lee Han doubted his ears.
Is it okay to feed it?
“First of all, I’ve confirmed that your juniors have strong resistance… Let’s wait and see. It will take several more years for you, junior, to come into contact with a dangerous poison.”
“yes. I will just be careful of the poison.”
“Because it’s not like being careful. Next year, I will go up to 5th grade, so it will be difficult to confirm like this.”
“oh my god. Why did you make that choice?”
“……”
“Sorry. momentarily.”
“no. That’s enough to say. thank you.”
After saying that, Diret suddenly had a question.
‘Come to think of it, don’t juniors have the right to say things like that?’
Who cares about who when the freshman is in his former school?
If I become a 5th grader, I think I will become something like an ancient enumerate type…
“Senior?”
“uh? no.”
“?”
Lee Han was puzzled by Diret’s reaction.
Maybe I was thinking about something else, but my reaction was different from when I was focused.
‘Did he go up to the 5th grade and be upset?’
Anyone could do that. Lee Han understood and nodded his head.
“Seniors. Look at this.”
“egg? I don’t need to bring you something like this.”
Diret expressed disapproval.
Of course, this junior’s dessert-making skills were outstanding, as if to prove that he was the chief of alchemy.
I was so surprised to hear that the soufflé pancake I brought the other day was made with the ingredients I bought myself from Einrogard, and the feathers on my wings fell out.
However, as a senior, I couldn’t give snacks, but I couldn’t get snacks to eat.
“Did you like soufflé pancakes the other day? Maybe the commercially available snacks were better…”
“It was really delicious, but I was sorry to receive it. Koholti bought all the eggs at the school market and kept making soufflé pancakes. I will try to reproduce the taste you have made.”
“Oops. I was just going to make it. And this is not a snack, but I brought it as a reagent material.”
Lee Han carefully took out the egg from the ghost chicken from the basket.
Originally, it was Lee Han who was raising a ghost chicken in a hut that looked after basilisk eggs.
And the eggs that the ghost chicken lays are very precious black magic reagents.
“Ghost chicken?!”
Dereth was taken aback and accepted the egg.
“This is really… great? How the hell do you do this?”
“Please don’t ask how. Anyway, I want to sell this, can I?”
“Anything is possible. By the way…”
Diret put on a troubled expression.
Lee Han asked what the problem was.
“Are there any problems? ah. It’s worth the price…”
“What are you talking about? Isn’t it like that?”
At the junior’s words, Diret looked at him as if he was dumbfounded.
“I just thought my juniors would try to buy it instead of selling it outside. As you know, rare reagents are much more expensive to buy outside.”
The magician’s reagent was also a field where the law of supply and demand worked.
Common materials were easily available, but rare materials competed with each other and prices rose.
Eggs from ghost chickens are hard to come by, but since the people who are looking for them are black magicians, the supply is even smaller. Thanks to this, only the warlocks screamed every time they came out.
“If you need it, I will just sell it to seniors.”
“what? no. Junior, why do you make such concessions?”
“Are you from the same school?”
‘I shouldn’t tell the others.’
Diret made a promise to herself at the words of her faithful junior.
I thought it would be better to just contact outside merchants and sell them without telling the others.
“I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry about you, junior. Poisoning is impossible… Let’s move on to practicing the poison element. You’ll feel it when you practice the poison element, but poison is more difficult to cast on an opponent than you think.”
It didn’t change that no matter how magical the poison was, it was difficult to cast on the opponent, even if it had properties that did not exist in reality.
The poison did not fly as fast as lightning nor spread as fiercely as fire.
It was quite a challenge to poison the opponent as it was in the form of a small amount of liquid.
“If the level goes up, you can poison it just by looking at it, but that’s not easy. Before that, you will be using your brain a lot.”
A way to use the environment around you, such as poison fog or poison clouds.
Or, even if the power is slightly weakened, it is combined with the water element to shoot poison arrows.
Or a way to compress it into a poison-friendly element like the bone element and use it.
“The first thing juniors should practice is…”
“Poison fog or poison cloud, right?”
“…It’s a way to compress the poison element into the bone element. Poison element should be easier since the dark element was also successful. The dark element is more difficult. for a moment. what?”
Diret belatedly realized Lee Han’s answer and was puzzled.
“Why did you think it was fog or clouds?”
“Uh, since the poison resistance is strong, I thought it would be better to just accept that I get caught and cover the surroundings.”
“…It’s a novel and good method, but let’s learn from putting it in the bone element. Because it is more stable.”
5 minutes later.
Lee Han perfectly succeeded in condensing the poison into the bone element.
Dereth checked the time and asked.
“okay. You want to bring poison fog?”
* * *
Throughout the semester, the students in each tower had been on duty.
As it was Einroguard’s job, the level of difficulty was not easy, and everyone was tired.
What’s more, the final exams are just around the corner.
It could not be helped that the movements of the students on duty were dull and slow.
The priests of the Phoenix Tower, the most sincere and diligent of the four tower students, were like this…
‘I’m a bit worried.’
Rather than worrying about the final exams, Lee Han worried about the attack of the skeleton headmaster.
They say that there is nothing they can do about taking the final exam as if they were studying normally, but the skeleton principal’s attack is bound to come when he is weakest and careless.
Besides, there was a very high possibility that the Headmaster Skeleton had been poisoned lately.
It was because the first-year students had set a new record for going out, and they were enjoying the luxury of bringing a lot of supplies.
– Whoops. Look at this! It’s a coat with pockets! I bought it outside.
-Hey, isn’t that too extravagant?
-So you’re wearing real leather gloves!
– Haha that’s right! We deserve this!
Lee Han wanted to stop him so as not to irritate the headmaster, but this was something he couldn’t stop.
Would you be able to control yourself if you heard that your friends who have been starving all year long should restrain themselves?
“Mrs. Wardanaz. The extermination is over here.”
“I am coming.”
Lee Han swung his staff to cast magic and then moved.
Right now, Lee Han and the Phoenix Tower priests were out to fight off bloodsuckers that appeared in nearby bushes.
Vampires were weak enough to be easily defeated without using magic, but when dozens of them swarmed like bees in the bush, they were usually not a threat.
Before doing so, he had to check his surroundings and cast magic where the bloodsuckers were likely to stay to get rid of them.
In fact, it was something that required perseverance rather than outstanding magic.
“Fire, burn, burn…”
And even without persistence, it was an easy task to solve if you had enormous magic power.
Lee Han moved while burning the suspicious place.
The Priests of the Phoenix Tower were pouring the elimination potion they had made into a puddle or bush.
This was also a good way. It was possible to weaken the bloodsuckers indirectly.
“Mrs. Wardanaz. Did you see this?”
“?”
Lee Han turned his attention to the call of Priest Siana.
There were large footprints behind the bushes.
It wasn’t to the extent of a giant, but it was a size that far exceeded the size of an average person.
‘what?’
Lee Han raised the light and checked the surroundings.
What kind of monster it was, it left quite a bloody trace. Not only the footprints, but also the claw marks on the surrounding rocks and trees were clear.
-■■■■■■…
Lee Han’s light spread several times stronger than the other students’ light.
As a result, a bipedal monster standing between the trees appeared.
He glared at Lee Han with red eyes.
It resembled a runaway lycanthrope, but it was not a lycanthrope. Blood pooled like a puddle, as if it had gorged on bloodsuckers nearby.
Some of the priests fell down from the murderous and intimidating feeling, but Lee Han said calmly.
“after. Did the principal send you again?”
-■■■!
“That doesn’t change anything. Sweep away darkness!”
The dark element changed into a wave and exploded forward.
The blood-sucking monster evaded the magic by jumping at an unexpected angle.
‘fast!’
However, Lee Han immediately prepared the next attack.
Every time he was on duty, he went around fully prepared, not knowing when the principal’s attack would happen.
< Baegrek's Foreknowledge > and < Gonadaltes' Agile Steps > were making Lee Han’s nerves sharp and sensitive.
– What’s the matter!
One of the priests ran quickly as if he had called the Death Knight who was patrolling.
Lee Han was wary of the Death Knight and grabbed the staff.
‘Aren’t they accomplices?’
-What is that monster?!
The Death Knight blew a trumpet and called his colleagues.
Puuuuuu-
“Aren’t you the principal’s minion?”
-What nonsense!?
The Death Knights were surprised and denied it.
Such monsters were not their companions.
