Chapter 118
Chapter 118
While Lee Han was having the most rude thought in the world, Professor Ingeldell was proud of himself.
‘I really brought him well.’
The Knights of the White Sheep Tree, brought by Professor Ingeldel, were one of the most prestigious knights of the Empire.
Rather than staying in one region and guarding that region, the knights roam the entire empire and jump in to find danger on their own.
That was the White Sheep Knights.
It is common knowledge that knights go around grandiosely with servants and slaves, but the White Sheepwood Knights did not fall under that category.
Knights of the White Sheep Knights roam the vast and rugged lands of the empire alone, wearing only one horse and one suit of armor.
In order to do that, it was not enough to simply excel in swordsmanship.
It required a variety of abilities, such as the ability to cope with all kinds of situations and improvise.
As such, these articles can teach young students a lot!
‘It’s a much better choice than bringing knights of your age…’
While Professor Ingeldell was proud, Bikelinz, a knight of the White Sheep Tree, stroked his beard and frowned.
‘I came here because of Ingeldell’s request, but I think I came to the wrong place.’
Bikelinz did not like dealing with students or young trainees.
I had absolutely no idea how to deal with it.
The swordsmanship Bikelinz learned and mastered was only for actual combat, not for teaching or giving lessons.
I had been indebted to Ingeldell, so I couldn’t refuse the request and brought the knights like this… but the
vague thing didn’t change.
They weren’t even knights who risked their lives on the path of swordsmanship. They were knights who wanted to walk the path of magic together.
‘They’re knights who entered a magic school.’
It wasn’t that Bikelinz disliked or looked down on wizards.
Every knight has been beholden to a magician at least once, but he couldn’t ignore it.
However, students of that age would not be enough to deal with Bikelinz even if they risked their lives and devoted themselves to swordsmanship.
Isn’t there a law that you have to learn from the knights of the Bikelinz or the White Sheep Knights?
It would be fine to call kind knights from other knights or trainee knights of your age…
“So. What can I do, Professor Ingeldell?”
“As I said before coming, you can deal with me comfortably. Please leave your life alone.”
“Okay.”
Bikelinz sighed and walked away with the knights.
The knights dispersed one by one to their respective positions and stood in place holding wooden swords. It seemed like they were waiting for the students to come.
Lee Han opened his mouth to somehow convince Professor Ingeldell. If the White Tiger Tower guys didn’t step up, even Lee Han had to step up.
“professor. Fighting one-on-one with those knights is a bit…”
“Nothing to worry about. Wodanaz.”
Professor Ingeldell laughed. Lee Han almost felt relieved at that laugh, but then came to his senses.
‘no. It’s not the time to be relieved.’
“Of course, the three of us will face one. Gather with the group you chose last time.”
“……”
It was not the time to be relieved either.
Lee Han moved on, swearing at Professor Bolainggeldel in his heart.
Giselle, like Lee Han, was approaching with a very, very disgusted expression.
Durgyu coughed and said.
“In a way, the three of us are lucky to be together like this…”
“Stop talking out of your heart. Choi.”
“luck? It must be as lucky as meeting the skeleton headmaster.”
After being scolded by Giselle and Lee Han at the same time, Durgyu became sullen. Lee Han apologized for being sorry.
“sorry. Durgyu. It’s not your fault.”
“no. Lee Han.”
Lee Han looked at Giselle.
‘Mmm.’
Come to think of it, in less than a few days, he had built up a grudge against the Moradi family twice.
Once against the Skeleton Principal’s summons.
Once against the seniors of the Moradi family.
When I thought about that, I suddenly felt a little sorry.
Lee Han decided to make a slight concession this time.
“I will make concessions in this test. Moradi. I will follow your instructions.”
“……”
It was a surprising situation where Lee Han bowed his head first, but Giselle wasn’t happy at all.
Rather, it was blatantly suspicious.
‘What’s your intention?’
There were people who could be subdued and made loyal, and there were people who could never be subdued.
And Wardanaz was the latter.
Giselle knew that, so she didn’t even expect to bring Wodanaz to her knees anymore.
But suddenly it came out so docile.
No matter how you think about it, you won.
“…What is your intention?”
“What do you mean… Moradi. If we don’t make concessions to each other, we won’t be able to get a score in this test. So I conceded.”
When talking about exams, Lee Han was always sincere. Giselle was slightly shaken by that sincerity.
Really?
“But you’re a bastard… you’re not going to listen right away after you say you’re following my orders.”
“That’s your instructions dog… no. There are times when I don’t understand.”
Durgyu listened to the conversation between the two and pondered on when to stop them.
I think it would be better if the two of us just didn’t talk…
“…Anyway, that’s fine. Are you following the instructions? I won’t believe it, but I’ll watch.”
“Please do well. So Professor Ingeldell. Who are we against?”
Lee Han asked Professor Ingeldell and looked around.
Where is the lottery?
Professor Ingeldell answered kindly.
“Hey, Mr. Bikelinz.”
“…wasn’t it chosen randomly?”
To Lee Han, the knight called Bikelinz looked like a boss.
That means you’re likely to be the most skilled.
“Since they are the three with the most outstanding skills, we have given them a suitable opponent.”
“Ah… I see…”
Lee Han struggled to control his expression. Professor Ingeldell did not know Lee Han’s inner thoughts and encouraged him.
“Three will be able to show a good enough image.”
“yes. See… Professor Ingeldell.”
* * *
said Bikelinz in a serious voice as the three young students approached.
“You may attack by any means possible.”
Durgyu asked with a surprised look.
“Can I…?”
“It is rather unnatural to not use what can be used. If you can use magic, use magic. I won’t even look at you.”
‘You can look at it.’
Lee Han thought so and picked up a wooden sword.
We only exchanged a few words, but I could guess what kind of person he was talking to.
Bikelinz was a strict knight like Allarron, the teacher who taught Lee Han.
The problem was that Allarron took care of Lee Han, but Bikelinz did not.
People who told students to ‘attack by all means possible’ were usually more likely to defend themselves by all means.
Giselle must have felt the same, and there was a subtle uneasiness on her face.
“The Choi family?”
“yes. you’re right.”
Bikelinz guessed Durgyu’s family just with Durgyu’s posture.
“Double swords…the Moradi family.”
Giselle nodded.
“And…”
Bikelinz was taken aback when he saw Lee Han.
Looking at the posture, it’s definitely a Byeok-Am sword (碧巖劍)…
Was there a family that used a Byeok-Am sword?
I knew there were none except for the Imperial Knight Allarron, but I was quite embarrassed.
“Which family do you belong to?”
“This is the Wardanaz family.”
“Wardanaz… Um… Huh?”
When Bikelinz moved his facial muscles like a lump of iron and panicked, Durgyu and Giselle unknowingly sympathized.
‘I can understand that feeling.’
“Umm… well, family is so important to learning swordsmanship.”
Bikelinz ended by turning around, as if he was embarrassed to be embarrassed in front of the students.
But the embarrassing thing hasn’t changed.
…why is a student from House Wodanaz here?
Besides, judging from his posture, it doesn’t seem like he learned swordsmanship in a day or two…
“Lee-han. I can’t see any gaps at all…”
Durgyu muttered as he gulped.
As much as that, the pressure from Bikelinz was bloody.
Just standing still and gently lowering the wooden sword, I felt this kind of pressure.
I couldn’t even imagine how strong it was.
“He told me to use all available methods, so let’s do it.”
Lee Han took out his cane.
In fact, I didn’t think Lee Han could win against Bikelinz.
Any method against an old knight who had lived on the battlefield wielding a sword for decades had no choice but to be weak.
But if you stay still, the score won’t come out.
I had to do my best to even hear ‘I lost but I fought well’ from Professor Ingeldell’s mouth.
“Foot. Wrinkle the earth.”
Lee Han cast < The Agile Steps of Gonadaltes >.
This time not only for himself, but also for the other two.
< The Agile Steps of Gonadaltes > was a similar type of magic to the < Sense Enhancement > magic, but it was more efficient and practical… ‘There are
side effects, but it’s not my job.’
The muscle pain that his friends would experience after the magic was none of Lee Han’s business. Shouldn’t we win first?
“thanks. Lee Han.”
Durgyu nodded his head at the magic that wrapped around his body. Even without asking, I felt that Lee Han was strengthening them with magic.
“It’s space. Be aware.”
“?”
However, Lee Han’s order did not stop.
After casting a spell on the three, Durgyu was taken aback by Lee Han’s continued casting of the next spell.
“Hands, cut the enemy apart. Heat, distort the air…”
Sharp magical powers flowed from Lee Han’s hand, and at the same time haze-like illusions began to rise.
If you didn’t know what magic would be effective, the answer was simple.
I’ve used everything.
At this point, not only Durgyu and Giselle, but also Bikelinz began to panic.
Even if I used magic, I thought I would use one or two at most, but I was using too many than I thought.
‘Shouldn’t it be dried?’
Bikelinz looked at Professor Ingeldell.
If you use it like that and run out of magic power, the young wizard could be fatally injured.
If you were a professor, would you have to stop it?
However, Professor Ingeldell sat still with a nonchalant expression on his face. Bikelinz was even more flustered.
‘I’m not that kind of person.’
“Shine!”
Lee Han did not miss the moment when Bikelinz looked away.
He immediately cast 1-circle lightning magic and aimed at Bikelinz. A bolt of lightning shot out towards Bikelinz.
Bikelinz lightly dodged without even looking.
“Attack!”
Giselle shouted at Durgyu and ran out.
Even if they didn’t send signals to each other, they could see that the moment they used magic was an opportunity.
‘What kind of magic is this…’
My legs moved much more lightly than usual. It was magic that Giselle, who hated Wodanaz, had no choice but to admit.
However, Bikelinz did not seem to be thrilled with the speed of the two students. He stamped his feet with an expressionless face and moved much faster than the two.
“Kuk!”
A painful sound escaped Durgyu’s mouth.
Durgyu was proud to be the fastest sword among the students of the White Tiger Tower, but Bikelinz was on a different level.
The moment he stabbed Bikelinz, the figure of the knight disappeared and an irresistible counterattack flew.
All Durgyu could do was fly backwards and roll around.
Hiss!
Bikelinz tried to completely subdue Durgyu but stopped. Water beads were flying.
The knight of the White Sheep Knights nodded and avoided it. Like the water magic I’ve seen a lot so far, I expected that it would be over if I avoided it once.
However, the water orb spun right next to his face and aimed at Bikelinz again.
Bikelinz was surprised and hit the water ball with the back of his hand. The water ball seemed to contain a lot of magic power, and a heavy feeling came up on the back of his hand that had been strengthened with magic power.
“Excellent.”
Bikelinz praised it wholeheartedly.
There were many times when even wizards who were much better than the freshmen here couldn’t show this kind of wit.
To be able to improve simple low-level magic like this and get caught off guard.
However, Lee Han’s feelings were a bit complicated.
‘Everyone except the professor praises me for doing well.’
It was happy and a bit sad…
It wasn’t the time to think about useless things.
Lee Han grabbed the staff and prepared for the next spell.
