Chapter 032
“…”
“G-Gainando got taken away!”
“Kyaaaaaaah!”
Naturally, the students fell into panic. A monster had flown in during broad daylight and taken their friend – it would be strange if they weren’t panicking.
However, Lee Han felt himself becoming strangely calm.
‘I really have been influenced a lot by this school.’
Having seen so many insane situations, he was no longer shaken by something like a monster flying in and kidnapping Gainando.
“Everyone get down!”
Lee Han shouted first.
The Blue Dragon Tower students nearby heard his words and hurriedly crouched down.
-Kraaaaaaah!
“I-it’s coming back!”
“No!”
Another student who hadn’t crouched down was taken. This time it was a White Tiger Tower student.
Seeing this, a flash of inspiration struck Lee Han’s mind.
‘Could it be!’
There had to be a reason why it chose one person among all the many students gathered here.
Gainando also had bright blonde hair.
And the student who was just taken also had bright silver hair.
“Everyone cover your heads with your cloaks! It’s taking the ones with shiny hair!”
“I-it’s taking bald people?”
“Hair color, you idiot!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students were flustered by the sudden words but didn’t doubt Lee Han’s statement.
Thanks to this, they could respond faster than students from other towers.
When they crouched low and covered their heads with cloaks, the monster lost interest in the Blue Dragon Tower students.
‘It worked!’
Lee Han realized his judgment had been correct.
He originally knew that many birds liked shiny things, but he never thought it would apply to monsters too.
Without Gainando’s sacrifice, he wouldn’t have been able to figure it out.
Tap tap-
“?”
While crouching down, Lee Han realized an elf he’d never seen before was tapping him.
From her outfit, she was definitely a White Tiger Tower student.
Long black hair and elongated ears. A trained body characteristic of knight families. She was definitely from an Eastern Elf Knight Family.
Before Lee Han could respond, a violent reaction erupted from beside him.
“Who dares to touch Wardanaz!”
“Honorable friends! A White Tiger Tower peasant is touching Wardanaz…”
As the Blue Dragon Tower students reacted quickly and violently like falling dominoes, the White Tiger Tower female student panicked and said urgently.
“I have nothing to do with the Moradi Family faction! Your Imperial Highness! Please explain.”
The Imperial Princess, Adenart, stepped forward and stood as if blocking them. Lee Han was puzzled.
“What? Did you know each other?”
Adenart nodded with her characteristic expressionless face. Taking advantage of the brief time, the elf quickly explained.
“I am Rowena, a knight serving Her Imperial Highness.”
“Serving the Imperial Princess? This school doesn’t allow bringing servants or guards… Ah. I see.”
Lee Han understood without hearing the explanation. Rowena sent him a surprised look at his comprehension.
Originally, this school prohibited bringing servants or guards.
However, every rule had loopholes.
They couldn’t prevent new students who entered together from voluntarily serving someone.
Since the Imperial Princess had been famous in the Empire since childhood, it wouldn’t be strange if some new students who entered with her had decided to serve her even before enrollment.
‘And it was the same during alchemy class.’
Back then, Lee Han wondered why students from various towers all gathered around the Imperial Princess while being afraid of him, but it made sense if they were people who had sought out the Imperial Princess before enrollment and had connections with her.
‘Suddenly I feel sorry for Gainando…’
Lee Han felt pity for Gainando, who was probably flying through the sky right now.
The Imperial Princess had people flocking to pledge loyalty even when she did nothing, but Gainando…
They were both royalty, but the difference was too stark.
“So I understand you’re a knight serving the Imperial Princess, but why are you telling me this?”
“We’ve hidden from its sight for now, but we don’t know when it might change its mind. Please command us to block it, Lord Wardanaz.”
“…??”
Lee Han wondered if he had heard wrong.
‘Who am I supposed to command?’
For a moment, he wondered if there were undead soldiers under him that he didn’t know about.
However, there really were subordinates he didn’t know about.
Swoosh-
The Blue Dragon Tower students stepped forward, wiping under their noses.
“Heh. Wardanaz. We’re counting on you.”
“Wardanaz, we can trust you. We ask for your honorable command.”
“…”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
Without knowing it, he had become the class president leading the Blue Dragon Tower.
‘Traditionally, being a group leader is never good anywhere…’
Though he was flustered, he couldn’t do nothing in this situation.
Lee Han nodded and began giving instructions as they came to mind.
* * *
Rowena watched Lee Han’s movements with curious eyes.
Among this year’s new students, Rowena wasn’t the only one serving Adenart. Others existed in different towers too.
The reason they served Adenart wasn’t because she was one of over a hundred royals. It wasn’t because of the wealth or power her family possessed either.
The reason these people of different races, statuses, and origins gathered was purely because of the ability Adenart had shown.
As such, Rowena naturally thought Adenart would become the leader of the Blue Dragon Tower.
However, surprisingly, the leader of the Blue Dragon Tower wasn’t Adenart.
It was a boy from the Wardanaz Family.
-That’s impossible!
-How could this happen?
Of course, Adenart wasn’t a sociable personality.
She was quite quiet and didn’t talk much, plus her cold face often created an intimidating atmosphere.
But Adenart’s followers thought such things weren’t a problem at all.
Especially in the face of Adenart’s overwhelming ability.
They thought that Adenart, who showed genius talent in any field, would force even the difficult and arrogant Blue Dragon Tower students to acknowledge her…
Moreover, wasn’t the Wardanaz Family not particularly known for being sociable?
Though it was one of the Empire’s leading magic noble houses, most rumors about them were eccentric and frightening.
The followers couldn’t believe that a boy from such a family was leading the Blue Dragon Tower.
How exactly?
‘I might be able to learn that secret this time.’
Rowena stared intently at Lee Han while protecting Adenart.
Asking Lee Han for help was unavoidable.
If Rowena or Adenart had spoken, the arrogant Blue Dragon Tower students would never have followed their orders.
Honestly, it was frustrating.
If only she could figure out how Lee Han had led the Blue Dragon Tower students, maybe Adenart could do it too.
‘I’ll find out and give her advice!’
Rowena couldn’t even imagine.
That Lee Han had won over those arrogant students with food.
* * *
‘Now that I’m trying to give orders, there’s not much I can actually do.’
He didn’t have a bow or crossbow, and there was no way to deal with a monster flying that high.
So then?
‘I’ll have to startle it like a wild beast and drive it away.’
Fortunately, Lee Han had several methods available.
“Everyone line up and form a wall!”
At Lee Han’s words, the students lined up in front to create a temporary wall.
Lee Han crouched behind them. It was to maximize the effect of a surprise attack.
‘Here it comes!’
As the monster descended from above once more, Lee Han immediately used an incantation.
Light!
“Light!“
Light!
Light!
It was the simplest 1st Circle magic of light creation, but depending on how it was used, the effects varied tremendously.
As a sphere of light shining like the sun rose into the air, the charging monster screamed and sharply changed direction.
-Kraaaaaaah!
Because Lee Han had hidden and suddenly used magic, it was completely unexpected and startled.
“Whoa! Wh-whoa! Turn!”
‘What?’
Just when he thought it was over because the monster had fled in surprise, a human voice came from above the monster.
Lee Han somehow felt like he knew.
‘Don’t tell me it’s a professor? No. It must be a professor. There’s no way this school would have a normal professor!’
Though he only had intuition as evidence, Lee Han realized that what had appeared riding that monster was a professor.
This school really…!
Whether it was because of the professor, the frightened monster calmed down again and changed direction.
-Kraaaaaaah!
The monster seemed embarrassed about being scared of a completely harmless ball of light. It made angry sounds while clacking its beak.
Then this time it blatantly charged toward Lee Han. It had clearly figured out who was commanding the students here.
“No! Wardanaz. Please dodge!”
Rowena, who had been watching, cried out urgently.
Lee Han’s plan had certainly been successful.
He had exploited the monster’s weakness and made it flee.
But now that it had come to this, he needed to dodge.
‘What is she saying?’
‘Does that girl not even know who she’s talking to?’
The other White Tiger Tower students looked at Rowena as if she were ridiculous.
Perhaps because Rowena didn’t attend swordsmanship class, she was making a huge mistake.
That boy from the Wardanaz family had more than enough ability to take care of himself even if left alone.
However, Lee Han didn’t dodge. He hardened his sculpted face and swung his staff.
Move!
“Move!“
Move!
Move!
A stone rose with the incantation.
Though it was only 1st Circle magic, to the students present, Lee Han looked like a noble archmage.
* * *
‘Please don’t hit allies. Please don’t hit allies.’
Since he knew only a few spells, Lee Han had naturally planned to use basic manipulation magic if the light creation spell failed.
The problem was…
The moment Lee Han lifted a stone, rather than maintaining it properly, he would shoot it out like an arrow.
Aiming was naturally impossible. He just had to leave it to luck.
If he could aim, he would have used this magic from the start.
“Wardanaz! Wardanaz! Wardanaz!”
“Wardanaz! Wardanaz! Wardanaz!”
Unaware of Lee Han’s inner thoughts, the Blue Dragon Tower students chanted Lee Han’s name with enthusiasm.
Even students from other towers were calling Lee Han’s name.
Ping!
The lifted stone shot out sharply.
“!!”
And amazingly, that stone passed precisely in front of the monster’s beak.
‘Did I mess up!’
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
Honestly, just having it fly that far was something to be grateful for, so he couldn’t curse his bad luck.
-Kraaaaah!
But surprisingly, it was effective.
The monster, startled by the stone that grazed past its beak, stopped and turned direction again.
“Waaaaaaah!”
“Wardanaz! Wardanaz!”
Several White Tiger Tower students looked on with bitter expressions mixed with fear and anger.
Honestly, they had no choice but to acknowledge it.
The boy from the Wardanaz family was on a different level.
They couldn’t even create a single light right now, yet he had already mastered rock manipulation magic and was using it in combat…
Originally, even after learning magic, using it in combat was several times more difficult.
When brutal and chaotic situations arose with blood flying and weapons coming at you, even well-practiced magic would fail due to broken concentration.
But to succeed like that…
‘What a monster!’
‘Hm? Did it work?’
Everyone was impressed, but Lee Han himself was bewildered.
Had it been scared by the miss?
‘I got lucky.’
“Whoa! Whoa! Wh-whoa! Yes. Well done!”
The professor’s voice that he’d heard earlier came from above the monster, then landed with a cloud of dust.
Thud!
Before dismounting, the professor threw down the students who had been caught and taken up earlier one by one. Gainando was unconscious, foaming at the mouth.
Thump!
The professor landed stylishly.
Leather pants and leather jacket, with pilot goggles on his head (it was an artifact radiating mana). A dwarf who clearly gave off the vibe of ‘I am an explorer.’
However, Lee Han felt something different.
Leather pants and a leather jacket, with pilot goggles on his head (an artifact that radiated magical power). He was a dwarf who clearly screamed “I’m an explorer” just by looking at him.
But Ihan felt something different.
For some reason, that dwarf looked familiar.
Could he be related to Thunderstep?
‘No way. Just because all dwarfs look similar to me doesn’t mean I should randomly think they’re relatives. That’s prejudice.’
Thud-
The dwarf walked over and grabbed Lee Han’s collar. Then he spoke in a pleased voice.
“You have talent!”
“…”
He really does seem to be related to Thunderstep…
