Episode 408
In the current situation, there won’t be anything special to do…
Lee Han, who was thinking about it, clicked his tongue.
‘No matter how much you think about it, it’s a problem that has no answer.’
“i get it. “Everyone worked hard… did you eat anything?”
“Hey, some cake…”
“I told you to leave some of the Wardanaz.”
Seeing the White Tiger Tower students whispering, Lee Han waved his hand as if it was okay.
“done. “I’m hungry. I could eat some first.”
“Wardanaz…!”
“Then, while we’re full, let’s do some more work on the other side. “The priests are on duty this week, so I’m sure it’s going to be difficult.”
“……”
The White Tiger Tower students pouted and followed Lee Han.
Someone muttered.
“There is no such thing as a cake that costs nothing.”
“Even if you follow suit, you won’t end up like Wodanaz.”
“Well, I just did it. just.”

“Ratford. “Can you help me?”
“of course.”
Ratford, who was picking the lock on a box his friend brought from the black market, stood up without hesitation.
A Black Tower student recognized Lee Han’s face and waved his hand. Lee Han also bowed lightly as if he was grateful.
‘…If anyone sees it, they’ll think you’re a student at Black Turtle Tower!’
Salko, who was watching from afar, was amazed.
Usually, when other top students come, they usually ask ‘Why did you come?’ ‘What are you looking around for?’ ‘Are you a thief? These were the Black Turtle Tower students who were ticking, ‘If you’re going to buy it, you’re not going to buy it. Why are you standing there?’
But when Wardanaz comes, he treats me like a close friend.
Salko wasn’t in a position to say anything, but…
“But what can I do to help? “Do you have anything to steal?”
“You shouldn’t ask for something like that so easily.”
“You can easily ask…”
“What I’m going to do today is just check.”
Ratford was curious about Lee Han’s words.
Confirmation.
What do you want to check?
“Check out the animals that Professor Lightning Walk has prepared to use in his lectures. “No matter how much I think about it, I feel anxious.”
After the second semester, Lee Han became a little more mature.
I started pre-studying before the lecture.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I think I’ll break one of my limbs if I just keep trusting the professor. Check first.’
Lee Han had already realized the truth that other seniors had to be in their second or third year to realize.
“Indeed… it is you, Wardanaz.”
Ratford was impressed.
Is that why he is at the top of his grade?
“Professor Lightning Step, because of his personality, he would have mixed up the barrier and the device, so I will take care of the barrier and you will take charge of the device.”
“Actually, Wardanaz, it’s okay for you to go somewhere now and call yourself a decent thief…”
Lee Han felt embarrassed for the first time in a long time at Ratford’s praise.
“I’m not at that level yet, am I?”
“no. Honestly, that’s enough. You can be proud of Pina as it is the result of her practice.”
“Hehe. is it.”
Lee Han was happy.
It was rewarding to work hard to pick and pick the lock according to Ratford’s instructions.
The vacant lot used as the festival site this time, a little away from the main building, was a field with two forests next to it.
On one side was the summoning magic testing site where first-year students worked hard over the weekend, and on the other side was the winding race track where Professor Lightning Walk would give his lecture.
“Seeing as there is a race track, it might be a rideable river.”
Even in the first semester, Professor Lightning Walk emphasized the importance of taming and riding animals.
If you were to tame and ride a new monster, there was a high possibility that it would be relatively safe.
“Or maybe it’s a lesson on running away from monsters.”
“……”
It was sad that I couldn’t deny Ratford’s words. The winding race track certainly looks good for running away from monsters chasing you from behind.
“Ratford. “Please check the surroundings.”
“yes. There is no one. This is so… I can’t believe there are no expenses like this. “You seem a bit complacent.”
“Originally, all professors are like that. “You lack a sense of crisis because you are ordering students to do it.”
Lee Han approached us, swearing at the professor in a friendly manner.
‘I guess there’s no need to go to <Paragranum’s Tent>.’
I was very nervous because I didn’t know what would happen, but it was easier to access than I thought. Lee Han approached cautiously.
■■■■■■…
Swipe-
When I tried to remove the covering cloth, as expected, it stuck and did not come off. Lee Han immediately swung his magic like a hammer. The cloth fell off with a silent roar.
And what awaited was an amazing sight.

“…?!”
There was nothing inside us. Ratford was embarrassed, but Lee Han quickly figured it out.
“It’s a monster with the ability to turn invisible.”
“Invisibility?”
“It’s Quine.”
“!”
Ratford was startled by the voice coming from behind him.
We were so empty inside that we were momentarily distracted. It was a mistake that hurt my pride as a thief.
“Ugh… such a mistake…”
“Shh. Ratford. It’s okay, so take care of your facial expressions. “I haven’t been caught yet.”
The naive wizard, who had no idea what the two students were up to, held out the permit and said,
“Here is the permit given by Prince Gonadaltes. I visited for the Summoning Magic Festival. “The students must be busy taking care of Quinae, so I’m sorry for inconveniently disturbing you.”
“no. “Welcome to Einrogard.”
The wizard smiled at Lee Han’s polite hospitality. Just by looking at his intonation and movements, he could tell that the other person was from a great noble family.
“It is indeed a really nice place. “I never thought the magic of nature could be so strong… The magicians who learn here will feel like they are dreaming every day.”
“…yes. what.”
“Dreams are a bit different depending on which dream it is…”
“yes?”
“it’s nothing.”
The two quickly changed their minds because they didn’t want to break the illusion of outsiders.
“But what is that?”
“ah. You mean quiné? “He’s a gentle and cute guy.”
Quine.
It was a monster slightly reminiscent of a small elephant with the ability to turn invisible.
“Do you eat people?”
“yes? no. “I’m saying he’s gentle and cute?”
“ah. sorry. “Even though they are gentle and cute, they can still eat people.”
“ha ha ha. “It was a funny joke.”
The two students were exchanging meaningful glances, but the wizard did not notice.
“When I was young, my teacher brought me this guy. Since I kept missing transparent monsters, he wanted to teach me how to find them. “I was so scared at that time.”
“…I heard you’re gentle and cute?”
“On the contrary, he likes to play pranks. How scary it would be if someone chased you noisily from behind! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“……”
“…Do you also train to ride a quinae?”
“Quineer? I don’t think that’s the type of personality. “I’ve never heard of a dog that likes to pick someone up.”
Among Lee Han and Ratford’s guesses, when Ratford’s guess became correct, their faces became blurred.
Do you really have to run away from an invisible beast?
“The place is well prepared. As expected, it is Einrogard. At the festival three years ago, we had a hard time due to poor preparation due to the uncooperative attitude of the local families… Can you see the big hole over there? That will now be where the wizards who will summon the creatures will gather.”
Ratford asked casually.
“Why do you need such a big hole?”
“Sometimes there are wizards who summon strange things… If you summon them from a pit like that, it’s easy to bury them, right?”
Ratford was embarrassed and whispered to Lee Han.
“Are you kidding?”
“no. “That is serious.”
Lee Han felt that hearing about the terrible festival in advance would only make him feel depressed, so he changed the subject to Quine.
Because right now, the invisible giant beast that would trample on him was more dangerous.
“Do you have any tips for dealing with Quinae?”
“I like magic that leaves a trace. “It’s a good idea to prepare a potion with a strong color in advance.”
Lee Han shook his head at the sight of the wizard teaching him the standard method.
Of course, Lee Han knew that much.
“Something like how to get him to run away.”
“…Uh… I see, but… Quine is a gentle animal, so why are you asking about such a method?”
The wizard asked, slightly wary.
Lee Han, who noticed this, responded softly.
“I have to keep taking care of him, but I’m worried that I might make a mistake.”
“aha. “I’m worried for no reason…”
The wizard went right over and revealed the information. Fortunately, there was a potion to get rid of Quinae.
When Lee Han heard enough, he nodded in gratitude.
“Thank you. “I will take good care of this guy.”
“Wait a minute, wait a minute.”
“??”
The wizard called the two.
“Do you know a student named Wardanaz? “You’re a student who specializes in controlling golems?”
“I do not know?”
“Is this your first time hearing this?”
“Is that so… Is it because the school is large? Anyway, thank you.”
The wizard was grateful and walked away.
When the other person disappeared, Lee Han asked Ratford with eyes of astonishment.
“what? how? how?”
“Maybe it’s because of the White Tiger Tower guys? “If there’s a problem, it’s mostly because of those guys.”
“No… not like this time. How could the White Tiger Tower guys spread such a rumor? What is it, really? “Are you the principal??”
Lee Han was confused, not knowing that he had gotten the correct answer.
* * *
“…Wodanaz!”
“yes?”
Professor Lightning Step called Lee Han when he saw all the students gathered holding a potion bottle filled with black ink.
“You’re the criminal, right?”
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t act like a fool. “I really want to… First graders are just becoming more perceptive.”
The lightning-walk professor looked around at the students as if they were dumbfounded. The students slowly averted their gaze.
First-year students, not worn-out third-year students, find out the lecture content in advance.
‘It’s different because there’s a lion among the flock.’
“I’ll give you a compliment. You even figured it out. “Preparing in advance like this is also an ability.”
The students let out a sigh of relief, but Lee Han kept his expression as if he knew nothing until the end.
“But today’s lecture will not be easy just because you prepared in advance. “The name of this monster is Quinae…”
Professor Lightning Walk explained the appearance of the invisible monster in as much detail as possible.
One student cautiously raised his hand.
“Do you have any questions?”
“yes. professor. Do you really have to run away from that invisible monster? “You’re just trying to find out the location of a guy standing still?”
“Did Wardanaz find out about that too? “It’s really amazing.”
Professor Lightning Walk looked at Lee Han curiously.
Although it was possible to recognize that Quinae had been prepared, it was not easy to find out in advance the content of the lecture that was escaping from Quinae.
how?
“……”
“…Oh, no… Isn’t the goal of the lecture to find out the location of the transparent monster?”
“That’s the purpose of the lecture. Naturally, monsters don’t stand still, so of course you have to practice on ones that move. It’s fairly easy to do at Quine level. From here to there, don’t go outside, just stay inside the racetrack. “You just have to hold on until this hourglass runs out, so don’t worry too much.”
Lee Han wasn’t surprised at all and took out the potion he had been making. He had already made up his mind.
“Whoa, Wodanaz. “Can I buy a potion right now?”
“The price has gone up a bit now.”
“doesn’t care! “I’m sorry for doubting you!”
‘…Wardanaz, that guy shouldn’t be compared to a third grader.’
Professor Lightning Walk shook his head.
Seeing that scene made me think that a 3rd grader would be rather naive.
