Episode 218
Gulp, gulp-
Once drinking water was secured, the Blue Dragon Tower students looked around with a slightly relieved expression.
The treacherous nature of a person’s heart changed as soon as his thirst was resolved, his mood changed.
Until recently, I was thinking, ‘What crime did I commit to come to this school?’ But now, I was thinking, ‘Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to experience something like this with my friends.’
Some students sat on a dry rocky hill and looked at the horizon.
“Still, it’s not as bad as I thought. yes?”
“that’s right.”
‘You were just whining that you were going to die from hardship…’
Yoner thought so to himself, but he didn’t go out of his way to punish his friends who were already having a hard time.
“I hope the White Tiger Tower guys have more trouble.”
“me too.”
“……”
Yoner looked at his friends in bewilderment.
‘Wouldn’t I be punished for saying something like that?’
“Ugh!”
“!!!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a scream erupted from the other side.
Lee Han grabbed his cane and ran.
“what’s the matter!”
“Uh, over there…!”
Lee Han’s face hardened when he looked at the direction his friends were pointing.
A heavy, medium-sized monster was approaching from the distant horizon.
‘Rock Drake!’
It was a well-known monster in the empire, so much so that not only Lee Han but also several other students recognized its identity upon seeing it.
Drake, a sub-dragon monster so large and strong that it is rumored that his ancestors have dragon blood mixed in.
Among them, the rock drake, which had a shell made of hard rock, was notorious for its outrageous defense power.
-Be careful where Rock Drake appears. Even most mid-level adventurers will be replaced in the blink of an eye if they make a mistake.
-I went to the place where Rock Drake appeared last time. Do you know what they call Rock Drake there? They called it ‘The Wizard’s Nightmare.’ It just bounces the magic away.
It was definitely not a monster worth dealing with in first grade.
Even if you are a foreigner who has dealt with a Nachchalakwi before!
In terms of level, it was a monster several levels higher. There is no rumor that any monster has dragon blood mixed in it.
“Everyone, lower your posture. “Don’t provoke.”
“I think it’s coming this way?”
Rock Drake, who approached with heavy steps, was not fast, but there was fierce pressure.
Lee Han called the students together.
Since Rock Drake was moving in this direction, we had to take action quickly.
“You have to run away right now! Let’s move to the other side.”
“That’s nonsense. Rock Drake is not a highly aggressive monster, but it is said to unconditionally attack any monster that enters its territory. “If you move for no reason and provoke him, that’s the end of it!”
“So, let’s stay still while he comes?”
“It’s coming this way, but I’m not sure if it’ll come to the hill where we are. “You’re more likely to go somewhere else.”
“If it gets any later, the chance to escape is gone!”
Friends’ opinions were sharply divided.
‘It’s not easy.’
In Lee Han’s view, both sides’ opinions made sense, which made it even more problematic.
Rock Drake was not a monster with very sensitive senses, but if several students were moving around, there was a chance that he would be noticed no matter how far away.
However, standing here and hiding behind it meant leaving it entirely to chance, so there was no other solution…
“Should I throw a silver coin?”
“…Not bad.”
“what? Lee Han. “Are you sure it’s okay?”
Gainando was embarrassed when Lee Han agreed after he had said it.
Of course I thought they would say no…
“I’ll just bear with it. Stone, teach me about the future.”
Lee Han concentrated his mind strongly by throwing colorful stones on the floor.
Originally, I tried to avoid using foresight magic as much as possible, but when the situation became like this, I had no choice.
The good news is that it is the near future, not the distant future.
‘It’s worth a try.’
Of course, if Professor Passelette or Professor Garcia had been there, they would have said, ‘Whether it’s easy or difficult, it’s definitely not at the level that a first-year student can do now,’ but unfortunately, the two professors weren’t here.
The answer you want is, is Rock Drake coming this way or not?
In an instant, several blurry images flashed by. Lee Han could barely stare at one of them.
“…I think it’s coming.”
“shit!”
Seeing Rock Drake running rampant and destroying the library on the hill, Lee Han decided to escape with his friends.
“There is no way out. “There is an invisibility spell, but…”
“ah!”
“The problem is that I can still only use it for myself.”
“ah…”
Even if it was the same magic, using it on someone else was much more difficult than using it on the wizard himself.

“But fortunately, there is an artifact. Cainan Island. “Try it once.”
Gai Nando accepted the belt held out by Lee Han and obediently put it on.
Then he fell forward, fell to his knees.
“Magic power…”
“this. “It consumes more magic power than I thought.”
“Lee Han… you are going to assassinate me…”
“Yoner. “Can you give me some potion?”
Lee Han opened the cork cap and poured the potion to Guy Nando.
Fortunately, after a while, Gainando regained his strength.
“If this continues, it will be difficult to rent artifacts.”
At Lee Han’s words, all the friends nodded enthusiastically.
No matter how necessary the invisibility magic was, I didn’t want to wear those artifacts.
‘He’s actually wearing an artifact like that!’
“Lee Han. “There is a good way.”
Guynando said.
“what?”
“You just need to learn the invisibility spell that you can cast on others now.”
“……”
“……”
“Can’t I give that bastard rock drake as bait?”
As his friends’ behavior became more violent, Lee Han stretched out his hand to stop them.
‘This is certainly true in principle.’
There was no significant difference in principle between the invisibility spell cast on oneself and the invisibility spell cast on others.
The latter requires a much more complicated and delicate process.
‘Let’s try it a few times.’
Lee Han decided to make the most of the time before Rock Drake approached.
The more horsepower you have, the more you can waste it.
If I can find a direction, that’s good, but if I can’t find a direction, I was thinking of giving up.
“Gainando.”
“…Is it because I feel like a test subject from a while ago…?”
Gainando stood in front, grumbling. Lee Han aimed his staff.
“Cloak. Swallow your friend.”
‘It doesn’t work either.’
I concentrated properly and my movements were accurate, but the magic did not work.
While magic power was moving in the air and the structure of the magic spell was being put together, collisions and stagnation occurred and it failed.
This was because I was not yet completely familiar with the concept of magic.
“Cloak. “Swallow me.”
Lee Han cast a spell on himself for reference.
Of course it was successful, and at that moment…
Gainando’s arm nearby disappeared.
“Ugh my arm!!”
“Are you okay?”
“ah. “Is that so?”
Gainando, who was surprised when his arm became transparent, was relieved to see that his arm had returned to its original state.
When I stretched out my arm again, it became transparent again.
“Everyone look at this!”
Transparency was unfolding in a space about 2 to 3 meters around Lee Han.
‘Amplify!’
At that moment, Lee Han realized what had happened.
Lee Han now activated the invisibility necklace given by the spire keeper and cast another spell.
Two magics of the same type were amplified by influencing each other.
‘This… I didn’t expect it. ‘Is that what the principal meant?’
It was natural for Lee Han to be surprised.
Originally, this kind of amplification was not a common result.
-What happens when you cast a spell again?
A question that every magician is bound to have.
Cast another strength-enhancing spell, another agility-enhancing spell, another invisibility spell…
What happens in this case?
The correct answer was ‘I don’t know.’
It is impossible to make accurate predictions as it is affected by numerous variables such as situation, location, and magic.
But I never thought this would result in amplification.
It was embarrassing, but fortunate in the current situation.
‘for a moment. Then why wasn’t the belt amplified as well?’
A belt received from the Pricinga Church.
This belt was also a belt with an invisibility spell.
But the reason it wasn’t amplified was…
‘The method is different!’
In an instant, a quiet realization struck Lee Han’s mind.
Even though it was the same invisibility magic on the outside, there was a difference in how invisibility was implemented.
The Pricinga Church’s belt is a magic that disrupts vision by surrounding the caster with camouflage that refracts light…
The spire keeper’s necklace and the headmaster’s magic were close to magic that confuses the viewer’s concepts and prevents them from recognizing them.
The latter amplified each other because the method was the same.
‘Is that why you asked me to think more? ‘To let you know this.’
Lee Han felt like his mind was becoming clearer.
Although Lee Han himself did not notice it, the magician’s enlightenment was of this type.
Gaining the slightest insight into the magic that had been blocked and making progress.
In a way, it was natural that Lee Han did not notice.
Since I’ve learned magic so far, there have been almost no obstacles.
Talent is a reliable guide for a wizard, but it can also make a wizard drunk.
If you had a skeleton principal next to you, you’d be like, ‘Yeah, that’s it. If you have achieved enlightenment, feel grateful…’
“Lee Han! “We have to move!”
“sorry. I was distracted for a moment. “Let’s move.”
Instead of thinking about how precious what he had just experienced was, Lee Han went straight into action.
Realization and all, only one thing was important.
‘Invisibility magic can now be increased by range.’
Lee Han cast the <Gonadaltes’ Invisibility Cloak> spell to amplify the range once again.
How long does it take to complete a reasonable range?
At first, I couldn’t control it or anything, but after trying it a few times, I got the hang of it.
“Cloak, swallow me… That’s enough. This should be enough. let’s go!”
The established theory was that once you attain enlightenment, you should devote yourself to it with a grateful heart.
The enlightenment you have gained may disappear somewhere.
But sometimes there were exceptions.
A genius who is grateful, immersed, and moves immediately after realizing something without any hindrance!
Lee Han put his friends in the range of invisibility and ran.
If the skeleton principal had been next to him, he would have been unable to hold back his irritation and would have added to the ordeal himself.
* * *
Even after defeating Rock Drake, the Blue Dragon Tower students could not rest easily.
I found a new library, searched through the books, and then used the library to camouflage myself.
“Aren’t you okay now?”
“What if they come after me again? “I need to see a little more.”
“I want to light a fire…”
To prepare for a proper rest, I had to put down several things, starting with the fire.
However, the friends who had just barely escaped were unable to completely shake off Rock Drake’s nightmare.
“Hey, over there!”
“?!”
Someone shouted in a hushed voice and everyone quickly turned their heads.
Fortunately, it wasn’t Rock Drake.
“That’s not true!!”
“I didn’t say Rock Drake…! “Look at that!”
The people who appeared were White Tiger Tower students. A group of four students were walking around looking around.
It was clear that the Blue Dragon Tower students had not found it yet because they were hiding.
“What should I do, Wardanaz? Should I call you?”
“Is there any more?”
“Durgyu? “I don’t have any?”
“Then I have no choice. “Suppress.”
“……”
What can’t be done?
