Episode 409
‘for a moment. That potion…’
The lightning-walking professor shook his head and felt uncomfortable.
When I smelled the potion, it seemed to contain royal mint, but the mixing method used was quite old-fashioned.
In the past, a potion containing royal mint was used to repel quinae, but these days, when training quinae, they are trained to withstand such scents.
It won’t work, right?
‘Where did you find that potion?’
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
As soon as I finished thinking, one of the students jumped into the air.
As soon as a person entered the racetrack, an excited Quinae ran up and entangled him with his huge nose.
It was just a joke, monster, but it was terrifying to the students. The student who was shaken up and down by an invisible force screamed.
“Wardanaz! Wodanaz! “The repellent potion doesn’t work!”
“Dukema, you idiot! “An extermination potion is not a cure-all!”
White Tiger Tower student, Batrek, shouted from outside.
As he came from a family that excelled at alchemy, Batrek was often called to work within the White Tiger Tower whenever alchemy was needed.
“An extermination potion only makes enemies feel uncomfortable and avoid you! “If you go in too openly, they might hold back and attack you!”
“I told you that a long time ago, right…”
“Throw another potion!”
“Wouldn’t it be meaningless to throw it away now?”
The black slime potion I brought with me to determine Quinae’s location was of little use in a situation where I was caught like that.
The excited monster picked up the white tiger top student, spun it around, and only put it down after making it covered in saliva.
“Uh… Uh…”
“Everyone should be careful.”
The faces of the students, who had been confident with the potions they had just prepared in advance, looked tense.
Batrek sighed and spoke to Ihan and Yoner.
“Everyone really looks down on alchemy. Making a potion is important, but knowing exactly how to use it is also important. “At most, the two of us made it, but we can’t even use it properly.”
“…yes.”
“No, that’s too bad.”
Batrek did not notice the subtleties on Ihan and Yoner’s faces.
The two were talking with their eyes.
-Isn’t it too ineffective? I heard that Quinae will retreat just by smelling it?
-Didn’t I make a mistake while making it?
-I also checked from the side, and I don’t think there was a mistake. There’s no point in looking for mistakes now… There’s only one thing I can do now.
-What should I do?
– Let’s pretend we don’t know.
-…?!
But surprisingly, it worked.
The students who entered after that behaved much more cautiously than those who entered first.
Spray the black slime potion to determine the location of the approaching Quinae, run up the race track, and dodge down the slope…
As a result, I got confused and made a mistake while chasing after Quine. The students who saw this burst into cheers.
“It seems to be working! It definitely seems to be working! Did Quine just make a mistake??”
“That’s how the extermination potion is used!”
“Wardanaz makes it well.”
“???”
Professor Lightning Walk, who was grading Bartrek’s praise, was taken aback.
That has nothing to do with the extermination potion, does it?
‘Wardanaz, that guy even sells fakes that don’t work…!’
“…Wodanaz. “Go in.”
Lee Han carefully entered the racetrack.
Lee Han was naturally nervous as he realized that the extermination potion didn’t work.
‘It detects by sound and sprays black slime potion when it approaches.’
Quinae was gentle but playful. Although it was a bit slow to change direction, once it picked up speed, it was difficult to avoid it in a straight line.
In other words, it is advantageous to avoid speeding up.
then…
‘Scare them as much as possible.’
It was not allowed to attack directly.
If you piss off a gentle monster for no reason, you can get hit and fly away.
Something that makes you feel dangerous enough to make you stop.
Grumbling-
As Lee Han summoned flames, Professor Lightning Walk chuckled.
Seeing that Wardanaz make mistakes made me think that he was human too.
‘Quene is not very afraid of flames. ‘Wardanaz.’
Lee Han, who summoned the flames, focused his mind on the direction where Quine was approaching.
-Don’t come closer.
Strong thoughts.
Although Lee Han didn’t notice, Lee Han’s magical energy was naturally turning into pressure and being released according to his concentration and meditation.
It is said that the swordsmen of the Empire have a sense of force and intimidation, and this is exactly what the headmaster of the Skeleton showed to the students entering the school.
Of course, it was far short of the experienced and skilled pressure of the skeleton principal, but it was hard to believe that a first-year student could emit something like that.

‘Does this make sense!?’
The lightning-walking professor was so surprised that he almost dropped the pen he was holding.
This wasn’t something you could do just because you were smart or familiar with magic theory.
The magical power itself must be converted into a separate property with a sense close to instinct, and this was an ability that was more advantageous to mercenaries with more practical experience than wizards.
But how could Wardanaz…
‘ah. Come to think of it, Wardanaz might be worth it.’
Professor Lightning Walk, who was surprised, was able to quickly understand when he thought back on his thoughts.
Of course, it was so fast that it made no sense, but what Wardanaz was hearing and doing didn’t make sense either.
Secretly, quietly-
Quine, who felt intimidated, began to back away.
Not all monsters were sensitive to magic.
Some people showed caution by detecting hidden magic power like spirits, while others could not even detect magic power.
If I had to classify Quiné, he’s a dull guy who falls into the latter category.
However, despite this, I could feel the overt intimidation radiating from Quinet.
“Water… step back!”
“Did you see it? Wardanaz knows how to use potions properly, which is why it produces such effects. “That is a properly used potion.”
I could hear Bartrek talking proudly to his friends next to me.
The lightning-walking professor clicked his tongue and wrote down a score of 6 out of 5 on the paper.
Ihan Wardanaz (6/5)
Next time, I’ll bring a tougher guy (be careful about security. Don’t let Wardanaz know).

Principal Skeleton’s lectures were always full of tension and freshness.
The lecture hadn’t even started yet, but the students were holding on to their canes with their faces stiff, without even a single chatter.
So that we can respond even if the classroom door opens right away and the undead come in.
nice to meet. You iron heads.
“hello. principal.”
The students answered in unison.
The floating skeleton continued speaking with indifferent eyes.
Let’s start the lecture today. Sing it again. I will not raid guests from outside and pick their pockets.
“…???”
“????”
What are you doing? Am I lecturing too gently and kindly?
“Uh… I attacked a customer from outside…”
“Aren’t you going to empty your pockets?”
The students shouted with puzzled faces. The skeleton principal yawned and said.
again.
“I will not raid guests from outside and pick their pockets!”
“I am…”
good. Now move the quill with your wand and write with it. Isn’t it great to get some magic training and lessons?
Insults were coming from all over in low voices.
You can just use a quill by hand, but you have to use up magical power to move it with a wand.
Of course, Lee Han lifted the cane without any particular emotion. He had already been overworked since the first semester.
“principal. “Why do I have to use this?”
Gainando grumbled and asked.
The White Tiger Tower students looked at him with respect.
Even though that prince was rude and thoughtless and looked down on the knights as sweaty ignoramuses rolling around in the mud, sometimes he was respectable like that.
Fearless!
Why should I use it? I’m writing this to keep it in my mind.
“It’s just common sense that you shouldn’t attack guests from outside and pick their pockets.”
okay. yes. I thought so too. Until your seniors do that.
“……”
“……”
There was a heavy silence among the students.
Principal Skeleton, who controlled the atmosphere with just one word, slowly continued his explanation.
Don’t be too angry. Your juniors will write a letter saying they will never break the dormitory barrier.
“Oh my.”
Lee Han felt sad.
But I wasn’t sorry.
Because it wasn’t Lee Han’s fault that the juniors didn’t come in early.
ruler. Write again. If you’ve written everything, this is what comes next. <If I really had no choice but to attack a customer and empty his pockets, I would camouflage it well so as not to be detected.>
“……”
One of the White Tiger Tower students couldn’t help but ask.
“Honestly, isn’t it okay to just use Wardanaz?”
“No, those shameless bastards?”
Blue Dragon Tower students were outraged by the malicious slander.
“Have you forgotten that you always gather together to attack Wardanaz?”
“You raid enthusiasts! “Those kids are the ones who will join the raid club in their second year!”
The White Tiger Tower students did not simply back down.
“Wardanaz attacked us more than we attacked.”
“If we join the raiding club, that Wodanaz will join the robber club?”
‘Did White Tiger Top always speak like that?’
The skeleton principal was amazed.
The White Tiger Tower was traditionally a group of guys who were faster with their fists than with their words, but perhaps because of Wardanaz, several of them had strangely improved their speaking skills.
Everyone, stop this ugly fight. And that’s actually something Wodanaz doesn’t need to write about.
“yes?? “How come?”
The White Tiger Tower student asked with disappointment and resentment.
Is it because he is Wardanaz’s favorite disciple?
Wardanaz is a person who is good at disguising himself when he attacks and robs others. He has no reason to emphasize it.
“……”
“……”
The White Tiger Tower students momentarily looked at Lee Han with apologetic expressions.
Lee Han answered with a straight face.
“This is a malicious slander.”
* * *
After the lecture, Principal Skeleton called Lee Han for a moment.
Are you going to attack me?
“…no.”
Not right now, but do you have any plans?
“doesn’t exist.”
Do you think you will never get greedy even after seeing the customers coming in?
“I am a student at Einrogard, so there is no way I would attack a guest coming to school.”
Lee Han’s protest did not even reach the ears of the skeleton principal.
That’s strange… The first years must be quite short on supplies right now. Why are you so calm?
“Isn’t it better to live without something if you don’t have it? “It’s better than attacking customers.”
Actually, it wasn’t.
As soon as this weekend came, Lee Han planned to go out and return full of supplies.
I was able to afford it because I had faith in it!
When I told you that in the first semester, you ignored it, right?
The skeleton principal asked as if he didn’t understand.
When I told him to abandon his friends and eat well and live alone, he said, ‘My friends are me, and I am my friends. Friendship is everything to me.’
“…I didn’t answer that much.”
It’s roughly similar. Anyway, I get it. We’ll find out later if there’s a wizard who emptied his pocket… Did you feel the bones?
“You mean bones?”
Lee Han tilted his head and remembered Professor Mortum’s lecture.
Perhaps the undead control and bone explosion magic had caught the headmaster’s ears.
“I am practicing bone explosion magic.”
…no. Other than that.
“Is there anything else besides that?”
……
The skeleton principal looked at Lee Han like he was crazy.
Precious bones brought from the palace. You must have forgotten it, right?
“ah.”
Only then did Lee Han remember the bones he had extorted from the King of Ghouls.
“I was too busy.”
Why are you so busy? All students are busy.
“haha.”
Should I kill him?
