Episode 083
“Wardanaz, didn’t you prepare it in advance?”
“Sometimes I wonder what you guys think of me…”
Lee Han checked the smashed hole. And then he clicked his tongue.
“That’s not good.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“The debris is inside each water pipe. “It came in from outside.”
If it had been the one who had been growing with thunderous steps inside each water pipe and escaped after breaking it, there was no need to worry, but looking at it now, it was clear that a large monster had come in from outside the water pipe.
Ratford looked at Lee Han with a slightly impressed expression.
“You really have the qualities of a master thief.”
“Tsk…!”
“Me too! Ratford. “I can reason too!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students showed a strange sense of competition.
Even if his class grades or magic abilities were inferior, he did not want to be inferior in his abilities as a thief.
Nilia looked at him as if asking why he was like that.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I guess it’s because I grew up reading a lot of children’s books with honorable thieves.”
Nylia thought what Yoner said was nonsense.
‘The nobles of the empire grew up reading such absurd fairy tales?’
“Are there no hunters?”
“Uh… I’m sure there are fairy tales about a thief who turned into a hunter…”
While his friends were talking, Lee Han, who had made up his mind, opened the door to the water pipe.
“Everyone, listen carefully. “We are not secretly breaking into each water pipe from now on.”
“?”
“???”
It’s not like you’re sneaking in.
Then what?
Are they trying to write ‘Blue Dragon Tower students here’ on the wall with paint?
“We gathered voluntarily to stop the summoned beasts that arbitrarily invaded each water hall and to protect the professor’s precious belongings.”
“…ah. aha!”
“indeed…!”
The invasion of summoned beasts was not necessarily without its drawbacks.
If something goes wrong later, you can insist on it by making an excuse to summon it.
…Of course, I doubted whether that would work on Professor Thunderwalking.

“Light.”
Lee Han launched a sphere of light. The dark first floor of each water hall shone brightly.
Greenhouses and classrooms located next to the hallway.
Students who have visited a magic school at night will know this. The magic school at night was completely different from the magic school during the day.
Even in a classroom that looked normal during the day, there seemed to be a few undead hiding at night…
Even the plants that were growing in the sunlight in the warm greenhouse seemed to be holding their breath in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
‘It wouldn’t be strange if Professor Thunderstruck actually prepared such a plant.’
Although students all knew about the first floor, the second floor was unknown territory.
What could it be?
“!”
As I climbed the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, I felt a strong magical power inside.
The space itself contains magical power.
‘Expand space!’
Students were greeted by a space that seemed dozens of times larger than the first floor. The second floor was a spacious botanical garden.
The students were completely overwhelmed by the sight of unique and huge plants, whose names they did not know, growing in clusters.
“There is a saying that a good alchemist must be a good horticulturist. Still, it’s really big…”
Priest Siana muttered in a surprised voice.
Since the alchemist had to travel through the mountains and fields to collect ingredients, he naturally had to grow what he could.
But even taking that into account, the scale was truly amazing.
“and. “What is the name of this plant?”
Gainando was amazed as he pointed to the flower shining in all colors in front of him.
The sight of it swaying with the soft moonlight coming through the window was truly beautiful.
Lee Han responded kindly.
“That flower is Nephelops.”
“Oh oh. “What effect does it have?”
“It catches and swallows any animal that touches its flower petals whole.”
“……”
Gainando was scared and took a step back.
“But the honey from those flowers sells quite expensively…”
“Does that matter now?!”
“You asked and I answered.”
Lee Han replied and looked around.
There were far more things Lee Han didn’t know than his name. The same would be true for priests Yoner and Syana.

‘but…’
Gaksu-gwan was not a dormitory tower. Since it was a workshop used by Professor Thunderstruck, there couldn’t have been that many traps.
Even Professor Thunderstruck would have had to go around right away…
Lee Han calmly found his way. There must be a path that Professor Thunder Walk uses to wander through this botanical garden.
Rattling-
“!”
As if reading Lee Han’s thoughts, the bone summoner made a rattling sound from his belt.
The bone summoner pointed in the direction as if to look over there. Surprisingly, there were fresh footprints in the mud. It was like a footprint made by a monster.
‘Right. Did the monster pass by first?’
It was clear that the invading monster had found the path that the thunderous professor was walking along.
Lee Han tried to praise the bone summoner.
“Wardanaz. I got a great idea. Looking at the footprints here, it’s clear that the monster that came in first passed by! “Then this path is the safe path.”
Nilia whispered in an excited voice.
Lee Han was about to praise the bone summoner, but he stopped and opened his mouth.
“…You’re so amazing, Nilia!”
Rattling rattling!
“Is it because you are from the Shadow Patrol? It’s really amazing. I’m glad you came. “It’s dizzying to imagine what it would have been like without you.”
“Why with something like this?”
Nilia tried to wave it off as if it was no big deal, but her long ears were already perking up.
“ruler. I’ll find the way. “Please tell everyone to follow me.”
“Okay, okay.”
Lee Han sent Nilia to the front and let out a sigh of relief.
Rattling, rattling, rattling!
Lee Han apologized at the sight of the bone summoner protesting.
“sorry. “Friendship is more difficult than you think.”
The bone summoner twitched his fingers as if it was difficult to understand.
* * *
Moving following the footprints of the monster that came in first was a better method than I thought.
While moving along the path in the botanical garden, the students were not attacked by any plants.
It was clear that the thunderous professor had not laid any traps along his route.
‘thank you. professor.’
Lee Han was grateful for the professor’s laziness and moved on.
-■■■■…
“……”
However, where there is good luck, there is also bad luck.
The 3rd floor stairs located at the end of the botanical garden.
When he saw the monster perched in front of the stairs, Lee Han’s expression hardened.
“Bull… right?”
“okay. “It doesn’t look like an ordinary bull.”
Not only had the front door on the first floor been broken down, but several of the plants on the second floor had also been trampled, leaving debris, vines, and leaves hanging from the bull’s horns.
The moment Lee Han saw it, he remembered the bull that Professor Thunder Gait had mentioned before.
‘…what?’
Until now, I thought it was the spirit bull that Professor Ingalldel had caught, but when I looked closely, the bull in front of me was much similar to the one that Professor Thunderwalker had mentioned.
First of all, there are no spirits mixed in, and only the physical abilities are strengthened with various potions.
‘Then was it just someone summoned by the upper grades?’
When Lee Han saw the spirit bull, he felt sorry for cursing its thunder.
‘no. Now that I think about it, there’s nothing to be sorry about.’
When I looked at the bull in front of me again, my feeling of regret disappeared immediately.
You mean they had a guy like that waiting on the mountain?
“What are you going to do?”
“There’s no need to fight.”
Although the type is a little different, I had already learned something while dealing with the spirit bull.
There is no need to beat your opponent and subdue him!
Not only was this botanical garden not a good place for fighting, but I wasn’t here to subdue the bull.
Moreover, the bull didn’t seem to have much interest in the students. She was sitting in front of the stairs, munching on something.
“If that’s the bull that Professor Thunderwalker used to raise… didn’t he come back because he was hungry?”
Yoner’s words sounded plausible.
For a guy raised by Professor Thunderstruck, it made sense that he would know the roads here well.
It would have been difficult for an ordinary monster to come up here without making a mess elsewhere on the first floor.
“Then if I leave it alone a little longer, won’t it eat itself and get out of the way?”
“It seems highly probable.”
The students breathed a sigh of relief when it seemed like they wouldn’t have to fight.
Considering the size of the thing in front of me, it felt more violent and ferocious than a spirit bull.
“…uh… Lee Han…?”
Yoner said, grabbing Ihan’s sleeve and pulling him.
“Is that… okay?”
The bull ignored the students and nibbled at a plant next to it. I chewed a few bites and then spit it out because it didn’t taste good.
Then he chews another plant, and chews some more, and stomps on some…
Perhaps because it was fun, the bull started destroying the plants a little faster.
The faces of alchemy expert Yoner and priest Syana turned pale. Even though it wasn’t his plant, his heart ached.
Lee Han’s complexion also changed.
Students coming in and borrowing some potions were on a completely different level than seeing a monster kill all the plants in the botanical garden.
And when these two things come together, the professor’s anger can be directed at the students.
“That has to be stopped! Feet, touch the ground!”
Lee Han shouted a spell and then ran forward.
Then he threw a curse spell at the bull.
“Be paralyzed!”
The negative magic took the form of a wave and flew towards the bull.
However, the bull felt threatened first and avoided the curse.
“Wardanaz! “Why do we have to stop that?”
“That’s what honor is! Wardanaz. “I’m coming to help!”
The Blue Dragon Tower friends, who misunderstood Lee Han’s intentions, rushed at him with their staffs.
“Flame of Power…”
When Gainando tried to cast a fire creation spell, Lee Han was shocked and punched him in the mouth.
match!
“?!?”
“No fires allowed near plants!”
“Tsk… be paralyzed!”
“Be paralyzed!!”
My friends used the paralyzing curse they had learned in class. If I had summoned the element incorrectly, this area could have been burned down.
Unlike Lee Han’s curse, the bull did not avoid the students’ curse. Even though several curses were fired, the bull did not care.
“Ah, what on earth did Professor Thunderwalker feed you!!”
The students screamed. The ox was stronger than expected.
“Go and disrupt him!”
Lee Han sent out a bone summoner and then began summoning water beads.
The bull didn’t care at all whether the other students waved their sticks or not, but he only looked at Lee Han warily.
‘I didn’t throw a curse hastily!’
It was not easy to hit a monster with sharp instincts with a curse spell.
Things went awry because I made them wary by throwing a curse for no reason.
Lee Han started throwing water beads one after another. The bull dodged it accurately, but Lee Han was not embarrassed.
‘First, pull it out among the plants.’
In the first place, they were attacking the bull to get it away from the plants.
“Everyone, take the weakening potion here!”
Priest Syanna took out a potion flask and handed it to me. The students who received it hurriedly threw it away.
With a cracking sound, the bull who had been hit by the potion stumbled. Yoner shouted, realizing that the creature’s magic resistance had weakened.
“Everyone curse again!”
“Be paralyzed, be paralyzed!”
“Be paralyzed!”
The bull shook his head in annoyance. Because she was so weak, she could feel the curse seeping into her skin.
Lee Han exploded water beads around the bull in an irregular trajectory. The bull flinched and stopped moving.
And Lee Han’s curse burst out.
‘Faster!’
“Be paralyzed!”
The thought of having to cast the spell faster than before made Lee Han’s spell even faster.
As a result, the curse was fired before Lee Han’s spell could be fully memorized. The situation was so urgent that even Lee Han himself did not notice.
thud!
The bull seemed to be unable to withstand Lee Han’s curse and fell to his knees.
The students let out a long sigh at the same time, without even having to say who went first.
“What the hell is going on?”
“!!!”
A tall, slender willow tree was walking among the plants.
Lee Han answered immediately.
“We were protecting Professor Thunderstruck’s plants.”
“…that’s right! “There’s a strange bull eating the plants…!”
