Episode 139
Professor Boladi spoke without knowing Lee Han’s true feelings.
“A ghost. “You’re low class.”
At the end of a passage in an underground dungeon illuminated by a faint light, a dead man appeared with sticky darkness covering his entire body.
It was a monster called an anglerfish.
The undead monsters that were not under the wizard’s control showed such raw murderous intent that it could be felt right on the skin.
-■■■!
At that moment, the magic light summoned by Professor Boladi went out.
An ordinary student would have been embarrassed, but Lee Han was not embarrassed at all and immediately memorized the spell.
“Light.”
I was prepared to respond no matter what Professor Boladi did at any time.
Professor Boladi nodded as Ihan immediately brought up the light.
It was as if he was saying it was a good decision.
‘Is there no professor?’
A ghost is an undead monster that has been mutated due to the sins and evil deeds of a dead person during his or her lifetime.
In that case, it wasn’t strange if there was a professor.
Well, if there was a professor, it would be just as scary…
“Spring up.”
Lee Han recited the spell in a whisper, a level lower than the previous luminescence spell.
He quickly realized that there was nothing good about raising his voice in the dungeon.
Professor Boladi mentally gave it high marks.
Agile reaction speed and innate alertness.
It was a virtue that a battle wizard should have.
The water ball split into several pieces, and one of them flew towards the anglerfish.
The anglerfish’s jaw was shattered with a dull sound. The anglerfish that was walking with great strides stumbled.
‘I’ll have to stop it from moving.’
For a wizard, it was better to avoid close combat. Lee Han aimed at the anglerfish’s knees with a water ball.
If it were another wizard, this kind of precise aiming might have been difficult.
However, Lee Han was already skilled in controlling elemental magic through training with Professor Boladi.
One more shot.
The water ball accurately hit the moving anglerfish’s knee and knocked it down.
Professor Boladi did not even nod this time. It was such a natural thing.
Lee Han also wasn’t disappointed because he didn’t expect much.
But it was truly disappointing.
If even one of the outside guests had been here, it would have been a much more exciting spectacle than another half-baked event!
* * *
Lee Han managed to prevent even a low-level anglerfish from approaching.
Then I checked the fallen angler fish. Sadly, the monkfish didn’t have much. She didn’t even have those common magic stones.
Professor Boladi, who understood Lee Han’s behavior in a different way, spoke up.
“It’s a good idea to make sure you fall down properly. However, getting close to the monster is unnecessary. “Learn how to check with magic.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Keep moving forward.”
Professor Boladi spoke from behind, a little away from Lee Han.
Lee Han tried to walk without thinking, but then stopped.
‘for a moment.’
When I thought about it, it might be dangerous to just follow Professor Boladi’s instructions.
What was the reason Professor Boladi brought him to the dungeon in the first place?
Wasn’t it because Lee Han used water elemental magic multiple times?
If so, there was a high possibility that there would be traps in the dungeon that forced multiple operations.
“Space, be perceived. Feet, touch the ground.”
There was a saying that you should beat on the stone bridge before crossing it.
But in the case of wizards, there was no need for that.
All I had to do was hit the stone bridge and then fly across it.
Professor Boladi smiled very faintly after seeing Lee Han cast various strengthening spells first.
If a good student is one who learns quickly from experience, Lee Han was learning before he even learned from experience.
Maybe this was the joy of teaching.
‘I feel even more uncomfortable because Professor Boladi stays still.’
Lee Han took a piece of bone out of his pocket and threw it away.
“Come forth, bone hand!”
The bony hand that was summoned flew forward.
At that moment, an anglerfish suddenly popped out from the space I thought was a wall. Lee Han’s eyes opened wide.
‘Stealth?!’
The bony hand swam in the air and tried to strangle the anglerfish, but the anglerfish’s strength was even stronger. In an instant, the bony hand was pushed away.
puck!
The bone hand was more of an aid rather than an attack magic in itself.
Just taking the time was enough.
After confirming that the anglerfish had appeared, Lee Han flew the water ball again and defeated the enemy.
“…Do you know how to hide?”

“The characteristics of hungry ghosts are diverse.”
“……”
Lee Han decided that things couldn’t go on like this.
Clap, clap-
As Lee Han began to wear various accessories, Professor Boladi faintly raised his eyebrows.
“Fire magic.”
“yes.”
“Good idea. “A good wizard doesn’t settle.”
Even though they were accustomed to the water element, it was difficult for a wizard who continued to use only the water element to progress.
A good wizard must continually seek out new challenges.
‘Even if I want to settle down, you don’t give me a chance to settle down.’
Lee Han thought to himself and focused on the flames.
Unlike the water element that we were now accustomed to, the fire element required much more concentration.
Especially since if you lose focus even a little, you can burn the surroundings.
The reason why Lee Han chose flame was simple.
‘Let’s shoot in all the possible places.’
Lee Han, who didn’t know much about the monster called Agwi, had few options.
And what Lee Han chose was quantity.
I will move while shooting at all the places where monsters are likely to be!
To do this, the fire element was more advantageous than the water element.
Grumble!
Small flames rose up around Lee Han. It was much smaller than a water bead, but considering the properties of flame, this was enough.
“I think I’ve gotten used to this.”
“You’ve only just started?”
“Go through the dungeon and come down. “I’ll be waiting.”
With those words, Professor Boladi disappeared.
“……”
Lee Han, who was left alone, tried to curse Professor Boladi but ended up.
Because I didn’t know if I could hear the voice.
* * *
Pop!
Criticizing Professor Boladi, who disappeared, did not change the reality.
Lee Han kept his mouth shut and dealt with the ghosts.
‘I think I know roughly how it goes.’
The ghosts here in Professor Boladi’s dungeon enjoyed using stealth.
It was easy to find the guy who used the dark terrain of the dungeon to stick close to the wall as he got used to it.
No matter how strange I was, I couldn’t help but be a little surprised to see someone hanging on the ceiling, holding his breath, or crouching in a stagnant puddle…
But I was getting used to this fear as time passed.
Sparks flew in all directions. Since the flame was about the size of two finger joints, its destructive power was not that strong, but it was definitely effective.
Just like firecrackers, if flames flying out in all directions hit it, the anglerfish will not be able to withstand it and will jump out.
-■■■■!
As soon as it popped out, I immediately threw a water ball at it and knocked it down.
Most anglerfish could be pulled out first with flames, and if there was one that could not be caught even then, it could be caught with spatial detection when it approached.
There were times when I was really unlucky and got ambushed, but in those cases…
Sigh!
Lee Han swung his cane and hit the anglerfish in the alley.
I don’t know if it was my mood, but it seemed to have more destructive power than a water bead.
“…!”
Lee Han, who was walking down a narrow cave passage, stopped when a cool breeze blew from afar.
There was a fairly large space at the end of the passage. It was dark so I couldn’t see everything, but it felt like a square.
Originally, I should have been happy that I had continued to walk this narrow path, but…
‘It really can’t be this ominous.’
Lee Han felt his entire body’s intuition send a warning.
The moment you pass through the passage and enter the plaza, the hungry ghosts may be excited to welcome you!
But I couldn’t not go. Lee Han began preparing additional magic.
* * *
Professor Garcia guided the old wizard from outside with a bright expression.
During the festival, a welcome guest came to the school.
Eumidyhus.
As a renowned master of water elemental magic in the Empire, some of the magics developed by Eumidhus were usefully used by the Empire’s magicians.
Professor Garcia had also learned the magic of Eumidhus during his school days, so he could not help but be happy about the visit of such an old wizard.
“It’s truly an honor to meet you.”
“There is no need to think so highly of this old wizard…”
No one would expect that Eumidihus, who looks like a kind grandmother, was a battle wizard who achieved all kinds of brilliant achievements in her childhood.
Professor Garcia looked at Eumidhus once again with eyes full of respect.
“The magic school is always a beautiful place.”
“It’s a place with nice scenery.”
“It’s a good place for students too.”
“I think so too.”
“Professors…”
“You are all great people.”
“That’s not it.”
Eumidyhus shook his head. Professor Garcia cleared his throat with an embarrassed expression.
“Is that so? Everyone is working hard…”
“It’s not a matter of ability, but a matter of character… Well, since Gonadaltes is there, there’s nothing we can do. Gonadaltes may be the root of all problems.”
“……”
Professor Garcia felt a conflict between his desire to agree with the great old wizard’s words and his belief that, as a professor, he should not criticize the principal.
You have to be patient!
“Are there any interesting students?”
“yes.”
“There is nothing more satisfying than raising good students. “I did a good job at other things, but I wasn’t very good at raising students.”
At Eumidhus’ humble words, Professor Garcia shook his head as if asking what he was saying.
“All of my students are amazing…”
“Everyone is just lacking. “Now that I think about it, is Boladi Bagrek here?”
“yes.”
“I guess I should go meet him sometime. “Can you guide me?”
“Sure.”
As Professor Garcia guided Eumidhus, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
Now that I think about it, isn’t it time for <Basic Magic Abuse>, no, <Repetitive Learning of Basic Magic Combat>?
‘I hope Yumidhus gets angry after seeing the lecture.’
Professor Garcia went down to the basement and opened the classroom door.
But there was no one.
“???”
“You’re giving a lecture somewhere else.”
Eumidihus tapped the floor with his staff. Then, the footsteps remaining on the floor glowed vividly green, revealing traces.
“aha. “The weather is nice, so in the courtyard…”
“?”
Eumidhus looked at Professor Garcia as if asking what he was talking about.
Boladi was not the person to attend class because the weather was nice.
“…is not it?”
“He must have gone to a dungeon.”
“yes?”
“The dungeon. Dungeon. Once a student’s achievement reaches a certain level, it is quicker to hone it in practice. Are you teaching third grade?”
“……”
“Are you teaching third grade? “Are you in 4th grade?”
Professor Garcia, who had been slightly distracted by the shocking words, shook his head at Eumidhus’ words.
“yes? “Well… Professor Bagrek doesn’t teach third or fourth grade.”
“Fifth grade? “If you are a 5th grader, it would be better off campus than on campus.”
“……”
Professor Garcia did not answer.
Instead, I walked quickly out of anxiety and nervousness.
“Let’s go!”
“Why are you doing this?”
“I think Professor Bagrek took the new student to the dungeon!”
“Freshman students?”
“yes!”
“Your abilities seem to be great…”
“It’s an ability or something, but that’s not it!”
Professor Garcia got angry at the respected old wizard.
