Chapter
The white horse was flustered.
Wasn’t this not the right atmosphere for that?
The griffin and human who had been distrusting each other.
Wasn’t this supposed to be a touching moment where the griffin’s long-held distrust was swept away by the human’s devotion, and the griffin was finally about to acknowledge Lee Han as its master…?
-Neigh. Neigh neigh.
The white horse lowered its head again and rubbed against Lee Han. Lee Han was cold.
“I told you I’m not taking off either the bracelet or the belt.”
-…
The white horse felt frustrated.
That’s not it!
-Snort! Snort!!
“As expected, you’re finally showing your true colors! Did you think I’d fall for it!”
When the white horse snorted angrily, Lee Han responded as if he had expected this.
The white horse angrily pushed Lee Han with its head.
That’s not it!!!
“Are you okay?!”
“I’m fine. It’s probably angry because I touched its body without permission.”
“I’m not talking about the horse!”
Yoner and the students came running frantically.
They were worried that Lee Han might have been seriously injured.
Rowena looked at Lee Han with disbelief. To carry a white horse out in a raging torrent situation.
…At that level, wouldn’t it be better to be a knight rather than a mage?
“I’m really fine, so don’t worry.”
Lee Han said while shaking off the water.
The other tower students felt sorry that an accident had suddenly occurred during Lee Han’s turn, but in Lee Han’s view, it wasn’t the students’ fault.
It was Professor Lightningstep’s wicked and twisted scheme that was the problem.
“Wh… what happened?”
Tutanta and the Black Tower friends who arrived late were shocked.
Lee Han suppressed his anger and explained calmly.
“Everyone be careful. There are Professor Lightningstep’s traps.”
“…!”
Tutanta and his friends were horrified when they heard the explanation.
“You did such a thing?! The horse’s life could be in danger!”
“Even if it’s a test, this is going too far!”
Unlike other professors, Professor Lightning Step was a famous adventurer of the Empire.
Students who had admired Professor Lightning Step since childhood after reading his adventure stories were shocked by the sense of betrayal.
“Let’s go back and protest. No matter what kind of test this is supposed to be, we can’t take part in something like this.”
“That’s right. This horse is like a friend to me now. How could I ask a friend to go into a place where their life would be in danger? I absolutely can’t do that.”
Ihan was moved by the reaction of his friends from the Black Turtle Tower.
‘Perhaps the future of this school might be bright after all.’
And then Professor Lightning Step came flying from the sky on a thunderbird.
The thunder bird landed softly and hissed at Ihan. It seemed resentful about being tricked by Ihan before.
Professor Lightning Step dismounted from the thunderbird along with Nilia.
The Black Turtle Tower students walked over with determined expressions and spoke.
“Professor, I can’t take this exam!”
“I’d rather get an F than risk my friend’s life…”
Professor Lightning Step nodded instead of getting angry at the students’ defiance.
“I know too. I heard the river spirit is being temperamental? I came to stop it. Wait a moment.”
Huh?
The Black Turtle Tower students looked at each other in confusion.
So it wasn’t Professor Lightning Step’s trap after all?
“Didn’t you prepare this, Professor?”
“What?”
“The… the river is rising…”
“Trying to sweep away the students…”
“Why would I prepare that?! Are you crazy?!”
Professor Lightning Step exclaimed as if bewildered.
“Why would I prepare such a dangerous trap that could kill the horses?”
“I… I see.”
“Come to think of it, you’re right.”
‘Shouldn’t you think first about the fact that students could die?’
Professor Lightning Step was very fond of animals. Perhaps he cared for them even more than his students.
Such a professor would never send animals to a dangerous place where they might get hurt.
“More importantly, the river spirit is being capricious, so why did you suspect me?”
The students became embarrassed.
Come to think of it, it seemed like I had become too distrustful of professors because of the skeleton principal.
Professor Lightning Step clicked his tongue regretfully and shook his head.
‘It seems like the education here improves students’ magical abilities but ruins their character.’
It was Nilia who told Professor Lightning Step that something was wrong with the river.
Nilia, who arrived first.
The water spirit contracted with Nilia had noticed something was off and sent a signal.
Realizing something was wrong with the river, Nilia left a marker used by the Shadow Patrol so that Ihan and Yoner, who would come later, could see it.
-Danger. Do not enter.
Then he returned to Professor Lightning Step. Since it was urgent, he ran back in a straight line rather than following the path.
-Professor! The lecture spirit is acting up!
-The horses will be in danger! Guide them!
…and so it came flying like lightning.
After hearing the explanation of the situation, Lee Han felt a bit sorry for Professor Lightning Step.
‘I suspected an innocent person because of that skeleton principal.’
“No. More importantly, did you just barge in recklessly without waiting in between?”
Professor Lightning Step was exasperated to see that the students’ clothes were wet.
Usually when you see a river raging wildly, you’d think “that looks dangerous” and avoid it, but what if you think “oh, this is a test” and jump right in?
But the students felt so wronged.
The atrocities committed by the skeleton principal were still vivid in their minds.
“I really thought it was a test!”
“Since the Principal was preparing an underground dungeon beneath the sandy beach last time, I thought this was also a trap!”
“Shouldn’t the Professor have properly checked the river in the first place!”
“Right. Right. I’m sorry.”
Professor Lightningstep waved his pipe-holding hand back and forth to calm the students.
What fault could the students have?
This magic school was at fault.
“But how did you manage to get water when the river spirit was being temperamental? Did you succeed in persuading it?”
“We tied ourselves with rope and went in.”
“…”
Professor Lightningstep was dumbfounded.
Of course, persuasion wasn’t the only answer when spirits were angry.
Overcoming it with force by tying rope like now was also a good method.
…It’s just that students usually don’t bring rope when coming to lectures!
“You brought it, didn’t you?”
“Why do you think it was me?”
Lee Han, who was singled out, protested confidently. His face was so confident that Professor Lightningstep unconsciously apologized.
“Ah. Wasn’t it you who brought it, Wardanaz? Sorry.”
“I did bring it.”
“…”
Professor Lightningstep almost threw his pipe but held back.
Nilia, who was listening from the side, tilted her head and asked.
“But I left a danger warning sign, so why did you go in?”
“…”
“…”
Yoner’s face turned slightly pale. Lee Han had also turned pale, but it didn’t show thanks to his complexion.
‘Damn. I’ll have to check for signs while walking from now on.’
Though Nilia had taught him and Lee Han had learned diligently, he hadn’t been checking for them while walking around.
Lee Han resolved to check for signs wherever he went from now on.
“You… you didn’t miss seeing it, did you?”
“No. I saw it. But the other guys kept insisting we go.”
Lee Han immediately shifted the blame. Fortunately, Rowena was far away with the Imperial Princess.
“True to White Tiger Tower origins, they were so stubborn I couldn’t break their resolve.”
“That’s exactly what happened.”
At their words, Nilia was outraged.
As always, nobles and knights were the problem.
Even in the mountain range, how annoying it was when tourists did things they were told not to do.
Ignoring the safety rules of hunters working in the field!
“What an arrogant person! I’m disappointed in the Imperial Princess too!”
“Knights are originally like that. Don’t scold them too much, Nilia. We already gave them a stern talking-to.”
Lee Han perfectly blocked any follow-up. Nilia nodded.
Meanwhile, the white horse that had been waiting approached again and tugged at Lee Han’s sleeve with its mouth.
“You’ve become friends?”
“We’re not friends. It’s just its trick.”
-Snort! Snort! Snort!
“See? It’s getting angry. Don’t be fooled.”
“…?”
Nilia looked at the white horse with an expression of incomprehension.
Having befriended animals in the mountain range, Nilia could tell.
Right now, the white horse seemed to really like Lee Han.
That behavior seemed more like ‘please pay attention to me’?
Nilia said timidly.
“It looks like you’ve become friends to me…”
“What are you talking about?”
Professor Lightningstep, who had finished calming the river spirit, joined the conversation.
Then he was shocked to see the white horse.
‘It’s acknowledged him as its master!?’
Surprisingly, the griffin—no, the white horse—was now acknowledging Lee Han as its master.
What kind of creature was a griffin?
With eagle wings and lion claws, its pride was as fierce as those two creatures combined.
Normally, it would rather die than submit to someone unworthy and evil.
Even after years of friendship, you couldn’t be sure if it would serve someone as master, yet it was serving Wardanaz as master.
Professor Lightningstep couldn’t believe it and rubbed his eyes to check again.
“What… what happened?”
“Yes?”
Lee Han immediately became wary at Professor Lightningstep’s question.
“Professor. I didn’t steal the rope.”
Though the Black Turtle Tower students might have!
“…I’m not interrogating you, I’m asking out of curiosity, so just answer! Do you think I’m Gonadaltes or something!”
Professor Lightningstep was slightly upset.
It’s not like he’s mistaking him for the Principal!
“I’m asking because you became friends with that white horse. Normally it’s hard to befriend such a violent creature.”
“Ah.”
Lee Han nodded as if he understood.
Then he said.
“That guy is using tricks. He’s a very cunning creature.”
“…”
‘Are you the professor?’
Professor Lightningstep held back and spoke again.
“What happened?”
“Really nothing special happened. If something had happened, I would have said so.”
When Lee Han said this much, Professor Lightningstep had to step back.
This Wardanaz family boy had a diligent and sincere personality. He wouldn’t tell pointless lies.
Yoner, who was listening from the side, whispered.
“You saved it from the water.”
“Ah. That… The horse fell over because the river spirit was being temperamental, so I helped it up and brought it out.”
Lee Han spoke as if it was nothing special. Professor Lightningstep thought that made sense, then paused.
“Wait. The horse fell because of the river spirit, but how did you help it up and bring it out? There wouldn’t have been time? You couldn’t have already learned intermediate-level telekinesis magic…?”
“Yes. So I carried it on my back. I cast a water shield beside us to buy a little time.”
“…”
Professor Lightningstep had to grip his pipe tightly between his index and middle fingers.
To avoid throwing it at his excellent disciple who didn’t even know what kind of deed he had done.
‘If that’s not a big deal, then what is!’
Now he understood.
The sight of risking his life to save it in a situation where he could have died too.
The griffin—no, the white horse—had acknowledged him as master because of that courage and honor.
As his bewilderment faded, Professor Lightningstep felt strangely proud.
Many arrogant mages often mistook extensive knowledge or superior magic as the key to taming animals.
However, Professor Lightningstep believed true talent lay deeper than that.
A heart that cherished others more than oneself.
That heart was the key.
How could he not be delighted when his disciple demonstrated such a simple yet important principle?
-Puhihing.
“I said I won’t let you go. Get away.”
-Puhihihing! Puhihihing!
“Don’t throw a tantrum. That won’t make me let you go.”
“…”
Professor Lightningstep eventually couldn’t hold out and dropped his pipe.
