Episode 736
“Hey. “It seems like a trap.”
“Marcan. Come to your senses! “It’s a trap!”
Students in other cells became suspicious of Ulde’s shouting and stopped him.
No matter how you think about it, it was a strange situation.
I can’t believe there’s a person walking around in the punishment room who calls Ulde a senior.
Logically, it made no sense.
“It’s not a trap! “A junior who worked with me came to see me!”
“……”
“…This bastard lied and got himself drunk!”
Other students sighed.
When he was bluffing that there was contraband outside, I should have slapped him in the face to make him come to his senses, but because I left him alone, his condition worsened.
Since the punishment room was such a lonely and sad place, the students imprisoned here often fell into madness.
“Marcan. I don’t particularly like you, another top, but I will still give you advice as a comrade in the same punishment room. “The worst lie of all is the lie that fools you too.”
“that’s right. When I first came to the punishment room, I lied and said I came after robbing the principal’s room. “That lie led to more lies, and in the end, I really had to rob the principal’s room.”
“Who are these idiots treating as a maniac?! “He’s a real junior!”
Of course, I was furious.
A distinguished junior from the Wardanaz family came to see him, but these despicable bastards were plotting against him.
“Marcan. Put your hand on your heart and think. If you were a junior, would I really go through this dangerous and difficult maze of punishment rooms and come all the way here just to meet you? sincerely?”
“He’s right. That’s a trap. “Maybe he’s the principal’s new minion.”
“……”
Eolde began to shake slightly at the words of his solitary friends.
When I thought about it, no matter how talented he was, I couldn’t believe that a guy who had just entered his second year had come all the way through the maze of the punishment room.
Is he really a minion sent by the principal?
“…But what are you going to do by disguising it as that? There’s nothing you can do. “It’s already a punishment room.”
“I just want to enjoy seeing you suffer. “It’s the principal’s hobby.”
Ulde became more and more shaken by the plausible words.
At that time, Lee Han came down the stairs and arrived at the end of the hallway.
Lee Han breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the cells on both sides of the hallway were full of seniors.
“Everyone is here.”
“…!”
“!!”
Without anyone saying anything, the students quickly turned around and stood facing the wall.
Dealing with the Skeleton Principal’s new minion was dangerous in itself.
“Where are you, senior?”
“……”
“Are you angry because you’re trapped?”
I held on to my shaking heart and pretended not to hear.
Lee Han was puzzled, but once he arrived, he listed out the things he had to do one by one.
“I brought some snacks here. “I’ll leave it for you, so if you’re bored, eat it.”
The basket contained freshly baked white bread, a simple sandwich with ham and eggs with honey strawberry jam for dipping, and canned pork and beef.
If it were outside, he would have to sell it for money, but Lee Han wasn’t cold-hearted enough to ask his senior, who sacrificed himself for the success of the project, to give him money.
“Is there anyone who would like to eat it? I brought plenty. “I won’t accept the gold coins, but I will just give them to you.”
“……”
The seniors’ fear reached its highest level.
He’s a minion who offers to give you groceries without receiving gold coins.
I couldn’t even guess what kind of trick it was.
“Are you all angry? Then I’ll just leave. senior. “I’ll see you when I get out of the punishment room.”
When no one answered, Lee Han tilted his head and headed back to the stairs.
The Death Knight coming down from above shouted loudly when he spotted Lee Han.
-for a moment!
“!”
-The path hidden in the wall over there is faster than this path.
“thank you.”
‘also!’
The students’ confidence grew even stronger when the Death Knight showed them the way instead of arresting them.
Only after their junior had completely disappeared did the students in the punishment room exhale deeply.
“after. “It was a terrible trap.”
“I almost answered without thinking.”
“Marcan. You must not eat it. “I can assure you that it is absolutely poison!”
Even though it was frozen, I thought so at first and didn’t even touch the basket.
However, it was not easy to maintain such patience in the punishment room.
After trying all kinds of magic to check, Ulde finally took a bite of the bread.
“…is it delicious?”
“what? “You really ate it?”
“This is fine, this is fine too… Hey, you stupid bastards!! “You’re really a junior!!!”
Ulde realized too late that he was really a junior and shouted.
However, other students still did not believe Ulde’s claims.
“Does it make sense that your junior brought you something to eat?”
“It must be Jihyo-seong’s poison.”
“Marcan. Then you explain. “If that junior was really a junior, how did he get in here and how would he have become friends with the Death Knight?”
I was angry, but I couldn’t refute it.
It was so true.
‘Tsk. ‘How on earth did they get in?’
* * *
As Lee Han came out after finishing the lecture, he found senior Perse and his friends.
“hello. Seniors.”
“……”
Perse couldn’t answer with blank eyes. The friends next to him explained it for him.
“sorry. “Perse was mistakenly transformed into an invertebrate in the lecture just now, so I guess there are still some aftereffects.”
“I see.”
However, the seniors’ expressions looked dark and tired, even considering that their friend had transformed incorrectly.
Lee Han spoke to support his seniors.
“Everyone, cheer up. “It’s almost the weekend.”
“…I have lectures on weekends as well.”
“!”
Lee Han was taken aback by his senior’s gloomy answer.
Are there lectures on weekends?
‘Does that make sense?’
“Why are there lectures on the weekend?”
“well. Is there a lot of content to teach? Is it because of lack of training? “Is the professor crazy?”
“No matter what, I think it’s too harsh…”
“You’re listening to all the school’s magic. “What’s severe is that it’s severe.”
“……”
Lee Han was hurt by his senior’s words. Another friend next to me scolded.
“Why are you telling your junior that your lecture is cursed?”
“joy. “It’s true.”
‘I said hello for no reason.’
Lee Han thought that from now on, if he sees seniors who look tired, he should avoid talking to them first.
It’s usually not as sharp as it is tired.
‘This must be Professor Bendozol’s lecture, right?’
As I turned my attention to the next lecture, the name < Extremely Beautiful Creatures > caught my eye.
Just looking at the name, it felt like there was a high possibility that this was Professor Bendozol.
Even the lecture location is quite far away from the main building, in the western Nightmare Echo Forest.
The forest here was notorious even to the current second-year students because last year, several students from the White Tiger Tower and the Black Turtle Tower nearly went missing while looking for food.
All kinds of evil spirits and spirit-type monsters run rampant, trying to drive out intruders from the forest.
Although most of the professors at Einrogard were not sane, it was rare among them to have a professor who would give a lecture at a place like that.
Lee Han walked along the path. The road itself wasn’t that difficult as I had been there several times.
You might not know it once you enter the mountains, but if you are a second-year Einrogard student, you will never get lost on the plains.
‘It’s strangely quiet.’
Still, Lee Han became cautious for no reason as he had already stepped into a trap left by the clone of a crazy wizard when he went to the Dark Forest with Direth not long ago.
“Sharkhan.”
Lee Han, who summoned a summoned beast, walked slowly while exploring the surroundings.
Instead of just summoning Sharkan, he floated a sphere of light on the staff and cast other strengthening spells.
But despite doing this, nothing special happened.
‘Was I oversensitive?’
If there had been a threat or an enemy, they would have come out a long time ago, but since there were no special attacks and no one caught his senses, Lee Han wondered if he had made a mistake.
How long did it take to walk like that?
I saw a large clearing in the forest. This was the destination of this lecture.
Sure enough, Professor Bendozol was waiting for the students with his arms crossed and a disapproving look on his face.
“professor. hello.”
“…Wha what?! “How did you arrive!”
The professor was startled by Lee Han’s greeting and shouted.
I certainly didn’t expect that there would be a student arriving so quickly.
Lee Han was even more embarrassed by that reaction.
“Lecture is about to start, right? Of course it arrives. But…”
Lee Han looked around the vacant lot and belatedly realized that no one was there.
Something was strange.
If this was a lecture on black magic, it made sense to listen to it alone, but no matter how crazy Professor Bendozol was, a lecture like “Extremely Beautiful Creatures” was bound to be somewhat popular.
But why is there no one in the vacant lot?
“Why is there no one?”
“There isn’t any because we haven’t arrived yet. You call that a question? Rather, how did you arrive?”
“…Were there any traps on the way?”
“What a trap! You can’t even call it a trap. “It’s just a test!”
Lee Han persistently questioned the shameless professor, who said something he thought he had heard somewhere recently.
As a result, I was able to understand a little bit what this lecture on “Extremely Beautiful Creatures” was about.
This lecture was originally held in a dangerous place within Einrogard’s territory.
Originally, he could have brought the creatures directly to show them, but Professor Bendozol was more careful.
The rarer and more powerful the creature, the more dangerous it is to live in a place, so it is helpful to go there and show it in person.
Of course, the students were not easily persuaded by Professor Bendozol’s feelings. There were always many students arriving late or dropping out.
Although he often felt heartbroken because of such disloyal students, Professor Bendozol steadfastly maintained his educational direction.
Didn’t the professor pick a date in the Nightmare Echo Forest where the magical power in the forest was strong and stimulate the monsters even more to make them more ferocious?
If you do not have your own philosophy about education, it is difficult to be sincere.
‘…You’re in big trouble. ‘This lecture is crazier than I expected.’
Lee Han felt his heart sink.
I had expected a certain level of madness since I assumed it was Professor Bendozol’s lecture, but this went beyond that.
You have to visit a new dangerous area for every lecture.
“Why aren’t you answering! “How did you arrive?”
“I just walked.”
“You just walked? What about the raid? What about evil spirits? “Something like a group of ghosts?”
“There was none.”
“……”
Professor Bendozol looked at Lee Han with eyes of shock and disbelief.
I couldn’t believe that I prepared so hard but had no effect on the students.
“Nonsense! These evil spirits. “I’m sure you won’t just pick your opponent and attack them in a mean way!”
While Professor Bendozol was furious and analyzing what his mistake was, Lee Han asked the question again.
“professor. I have a question.”
“griffon? basilisk? Unicorn?”
“Not all three.”
“Then what are you curious about?”
“The difference is, if all the students come late, how will the lecture proceed?”
“If I can’t teach everything, I just do it on the weekends.”
Professor Bendozol answered bluntly.
I didn’t want to teach the students on the weekends, but according to Einrogard’s rules, I had no choice.
It was truly a pity.
“indeed.”
“Come here for a moment! I need to check why the monsters haven’t even appeared…”
Professor Bendozol started speaking and realized that the boy from the Wardanaz family had disappeared into the forest again.
Surprisingly, this boy was trying to bring other students!
