Episode 267
In fact, Giselle also thought that it would be better to learn from a shadow patrol patroller than from a wasteland stargazer.
‘The wasteland stargazer is too pretentious.’
Although I had talent, I felt rejected because it felt too overly packaged.
“Are you really planning on learning from me?”
Vaishada stuttered and asked.
My voice came out cracked because I was a little nervous.
“Can’t we do that?”
“There’s nothing that can’t be done… cough. for a moment.”
Vaishada opened the lid of the water container and quenched his thirst.
Then he drank a relaxation potion. It was a potion that I did not drink even when hunting large monsters.
“Honestly, I thought everyone would go there.”
“A shadow ranger is better than a wasteland stargazer.”
Vaishada’s black eyes sparkled at Lee Han’s words. Her eyelids trembled as if she was greatly moved.
“Is that true? “I didn’t know that a student at Einrogard would think like this…”
In fact, it was because of his friendship with Nilia, but Lee Han and his party did not bother to say it.
It seemed so sad to see the hunter in front of me so happy.
Even Giselle stayed still.
“good night! “I will definitely help you find and catch greater game than other students.”
Vaishada spoke in a voice full of enthusiasm.
I never thought something like this would happen in Einrogard, where I didn’t expect much.
I was planning on telling this to the other patrol members when I returned to the Northern Mountains.
How happy your colleagues will be!
“Uh… just a moment.”
“?”
“Actually, we… have already finished preparing for the final exam.”
“???”
“???”
Vaishada was astonished.
Dergyu was also surprised.
“when?!”
“Wasn’t he your friend?”
Vaishada was embarrassed. She thought the three of them seemed close.
“Last time I was chased by a lizard. “I met a giant and cut off some of her hair.”
“Lee Han. “I am your friend, but what I just said is too complicated to be dismissed as friendship…”
Dergyu said with a headache-inducing expression.
It was confusing to Dergyu to talk about the giant’s hair as if he had picked up a stone along the way.
“The story is a bit long.”
Lee Han briefly explained what happened.
Meeting a giant -> failing to play chess -> winning a bet -> escaping with loot.
“Was the giant that bad at chess?”
“I heard you can’t leave it.”
“……”
Giselle was about to say something but held back. Even if she said it, she would only be hurting her own reputation.
“sorry. Durgyu. I should have told you originally, but I missed the timing because I was afraid the other White Tiger Tower students next to me would be disappointed or jealous.”
“no. I can understand. “I was really fortunate.”
“for a moment. “Wizards.”
Vaishada was unable to keep up with the conversation and caught up late.
“So, winning a bet against a giant… that’s not the case. I don’t understand some of the other things, but that’s all. So is there some loot now?”
“yes.”
“Then what should I do?”
“…Uh…Would you like to go hunting together? “I need some meat.”
“……”

Vaishada became a little glum, but soon perked up.
Above all, the students rated the Shadow Patrol higher than the Wasteland Stargazers, which made me wonder what the big deal was.
“you’re right. And isn’t the important thing the result? “Other students will think that we defeated the giant thanks to Mr. Vaishada.”
“That’s good… is that okay?”
Vaishada tilted his head.
Of course, I wanted to let the young wizards here know that the Shadow Rangers were better than the Wasteland Stargazers.
But that seems like a trick…
“You can do that. “The lesson I learned at magic school is that as long as the results are good, everything is fine.”
“okay? “Isn’t it surprising?”
“??”
“???”
With time to spare, Vaishada took the three of them to find suitable prey and gave various advice.
“Do you know how to walk on a slope like this?”
“Don’t rush, try to step on the ground with the entire sole of your foot, and integrate your breathing and walking to minimize fatigue.”

“You’re right! “Isn’t it amazing?!”
Vaishada was truly surprised.
It looks like he comes from a great noble family, but if that’s the case, he probably didn’t grow up climbing mountains.
Still, I never thought he would be this skilled.
If it weren’t for the other person’s status, I would have thought he might have learned it from another member of the Shadow Patrol.
‘hmm. It’s getting harder to talk.’
In fact, it was difficult to say that I learned from a former member of the Shadow Patrol.
I was very excited as the other person taught me each step, but it took courage to say, ‘I’ve already learned everything.’
“ruler. “Try walking up.”
“Is this right?”
“You’re right! “You’re doing great!”
“……”
Dergyu, who knew Nilia, looked at Lee Han with bewildered eyes.
Lee Han pretended not to see it and ignored it.
* * *
Vaishada skewered some of the birds he had shot down. Bird meat that was roasted golden brown after removing the feathers and internal organs was a delicacy for hunters.
“Is it because it’s the Phoenix Festival period? “The fire is a bit strong.”
Vaishada controlled the intensity of the crackling and burning fire.
It was Lee Han who had already received a warning from Professor Boladi. I did not ignore Vaishada’s words.
‘It seems like the flame energy is really getting stronger.’
“Now that I think about it, has a phoenix ever been summoned to a magic school?”
“You mean the phoenix??”
The three students were embarrassed by the question.
A phoenix.
Isn’t this a fairly rare phantom beast among phantom beasts? It was a monster that I had no idea where it came from.
“I’ve never seen it before, so why are you asking about the Phoenix?”
“ah. I’ve never seen it, but I’ve heard that it appears occasionally at festivals. I thought that if he showed up, he might show up at the magic school. Since he’s a Hwansu, he probably likes places with a lot of magical power.”
“ha ha ha. If that were the case, the magic school would have already become a den of countless monsters. Mr. Vaishada.”
Durgyu said with a smile. Lee Han thought to himself.
‘It seems like it’s already half a den of monsters.’
The fact that phantom beasts like to appear in places with a lot of magical energy was quite ominous information.
Lee Han shook his head once to soothe his nervousness and spoke to Vaishada.
“You’re good at shooting a bow.”
“thank you. Would you like to take a shot?”
“I’m a little unsure about my bow skills.”
Lee Han was willing to learn almost anything, but he couldn’t easily decide on archery.
I knew how to put an arrow on a string and shoot it at a target. I learned that from old knight Allarlong when he taught me the basics.
However, hitting a small moving target from afar was a completely different matter. It took a lot of effort to achieve something like that.
“Well, it takes a lot of time to get used to the bow. Besides, wizards don’t necessarily need to learn a bow. okay. How about enchanting an arrow and shooting it? “There are magic spells that can be used for situations like this, right?”
The reason Vaishada said this was because she was not a wizard.
Any experienced wizard could tell that what he just said was quite absurd.
Instead of shooting a bow with the skill and skill of an archer, you shoot a bow with the aid of various enchantments.
It sounded plausible at first glance, but in reality, it was bigger than my belly button.
Every time you shoot an arrow, you apply various magic to it.
No matter how simple the enchantment is, the magic consumption is not normal.
In addition, when casting several layers of enchantment on a small object like an arrow, the magic consumption and difficulty level increased significantly each time it was cast.
However, Lee Han, who was still an inexperienced first year student, decided that it was a good idea before even remembering that fact.
‘I’ve definitely learned some useful enchantments now.’
These days, Lee Han is only studying ridiculous attributes like ‘floating’, ‘automatic defense’, and ‘reflection’, so in fact, there are many attributes that are easier.
Attributes that assist in terms of power, such as ‘acceleration’, ‘increased weight’, or ‘enhanced penetration’.
Attributes that assist in other areas, such as ‘removal of shaking’, ‘accuracy enhancement’, or ‘aim assistance’.
It was already Lee Han who was able to use magic in the form of beads. I was thinking about increasing my power with these enchantments someday.
It was too difficult to cast additional magic on objects summoned by Lee Han, such as water beads, that were maintained with magic, but…
It was relatively easy to use for objects that did not cause any problems even if Lee Han did not maintain magical power, such as arrows.
‘I’ll try it with arrows first, and if it catches the arrow well, I’ll try it with iron balls next time.’
It wasn’t a bad idea to practice with arrows, as the difficulty increases in that order: arrows, iron beads, and water beads.
“Be faster, be heavier. “Be sharp.”
Dergyu and Giselle, who were watching while eating the roasted bird next to them, looked at them with interest.
In fact, Giselle was closer to ‘what are they doing?’, but interest was interest anyway.
“Lee Han. Have you also learned <Increase in low-level weight> and <Enhance low-level penetration>?”
“You came to class, right?”
To be precise, it was not something Professor Verdus taught, but rather it was one of the many basic magic spells written in the book.
“It did come out. But you were behind.”
However, those two magics were located relatively behind, and students who already had a lot of magic to practice did not bother to touch the magic behind them first.
Even if you don’t catch it, there are already enough magics to do.
“In the case of <lower weight increase>, I had something to test so I practiced.”
“Right. …uh? Then what about <Enhanced Low-Level Penetration>?”
“Try using that for the first time.”
“……”
“……”
Durgyu and Giselle agreed for the first time.
That’s ridiculous…
‘Oh, oops. What was I thinking?’
Dergyu shook his head and let his thoughts go.
Lee Han was a great friend, but sometimes, when he showed his talent for magic, people would inevitably say, ‘Stop cheating.’
“That’s really unlucky.”
“…Moradi! “You shouldn’t say something like that to a colleague in the same group!”
“Why are you making such a fuss all of a sudden? what?”
Regardless of what his friends said or not, Lee Han cast the next spell.
Acceleration was increased, weight was increased, penetration was strengthened, accuracy was strengthened, and aiming was strengthened…
‘What more was there to bet on? ah. Eliminate shaking.’
“Trembling, calm down…”
Lee Han, who was swinging his cane, paused. The spell was not cast properly and bounced.
It was the same no matter how many times I repeated it.
“Why are you doing this, Lee Han?”
“ah. right. “I forgot.”
If you apply multiple enchantments to something like an arrow, the magic consumption and casting difficulty will increase dramatically.
Having walked this far, it was natural that it wouldn’t take any longer.
“……”
“……”
“Then shouldn’t you usually realize it before casting it?”
Vaishada tilted his head and asked the two White Tiger Tower students.
The two students pretended not to hear and looked away.
“Then let’s stop here.”
“Guess the rock that fell over there.”
Lee Han took a deep breath and aimed his bow. I could feel the intricate and detailed structure of magical power in his arrows.
Perhaps because the accuracy and aiming were strengthened, it was much more comfortable and stable than when just shooting the gun.
Boom!
Kwasik!
With a crackling sound, the arrow pierced the rock and got stuck about 1/3 of the way.
Lee Han was saddened by the location of the arrow, which was quite far from the center he was aiming for.
‘Is two enough?’
“It’s also difficult.”
“What is he saying now…”
Vaishada looked at Lee Han as if he were a monster and said.
Even though I’m not a skilled archer, if I hit the rock with an arrow, I did well, and there was nothing to regret if I didn’t hit the exact center.
