Chapter 056
However, Rowena had no time to think further about the secret of the summoned creature.
Rather, she had to think of a way to deal with the clay golem in front of her.
“It attacks when we go out.”
“That’s impossible! Then we’re trapped?!”
“It’s too early to be certain. Let’s attack it!”
“Stop! If we attack recklessly, it could be dangerous.”
The students murmured and voiced their opinions to each other.
Since they were all frightened and panicked, their voices grew louder and they refused to back down.
When it seemed like they would engage in another pointless argument like before, Nilia hurriedly approached Lee Han.
She needed Lee Han’s power to control these friends (who wouldn’t listen to Nilia).
“Wardanaz. Wardanaz.”
Lee Han was frowning and thinking deeply about something. Nilia grabbed Lee Han’s arm and shook it while calling him again.
“Wardanaz!”
“Ah. Sorry. What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong with you? Right now those bas… I mean, friends are about to fight again. You need to step in.”
Lee Han nodded. Nilia suddenly became curious and asked.
“So what were you thinking about so deeply?”
“Ah. I was carefully considering this situation.”
“!”
Nilia perked up her long ears.
Come to think of it, this Wardanaz family boy had insights different from others.
Like how he highly valued the hunters and patrol members of the Shadow Patrol Unit, how he highly valued the hunters’ wisdom, and how he got along well with Nilia herself.
Had he found a way to solve the current situation with that unique insight of his?
“What is it? What did you figure out?”
Not only Nilia but other students also looked at Lee Han with slightly expectant gazes.
Lee Han slowly opened his mouth.
“I think this is a trap set by the professors.”
“…”
“…”
Everyone was at a loss for words at this unexpected opinion.
* * *
“Please untie this.”
Calm down, Professor Ingoldel.
The Skeleton Principal spoke soothingly as he untied the magic chains binding Professor Ingoldel’s wrists and ankles.
Calm down, Professor Ingold.
Calm down, Professor Ingoldel.
The skeleton headmaster spoke soothingly as he released the magical chains that bound Professor Ingurdel’s wrists and ankles.
Professor Ingoldell looked at the skeleton headmaster and Professor Thunderstep with disbelief.
Suddenly my vision went dark and I found myself transported somewhere else, wondering what on earth was happening, when it turned out the skeleton headmaster had kidnapped Ingrid.
What crazy wizards in this world!
I had good reason for bringing Professor Ingoldel here. You’ll understand when you hear it.
Professor Ingoldel was so dumbfounded by this ridiculous nonsense that he was speechless.
Seeing this, the Skeleton Principal and Professor Thunderstep nodded, thinking he had understood.
“Professor Ingoldel seems to understand as well.”
“I don’t understand! What… if you want to help students grow, there are many other methods! Regular and repetitive training and duels, the teacher’s attitude and proper instruction…”
At Professor Ingoldel’s words, the Skeleton Principal shook his head disapprovingly.
Well, if they have a reliable prosecutor like you by their side, students lose the opportunity to grow on their own when crises hit.
Well, if they have a reliable prosecutor like you by their side, the students lose the opportunity to grow on their own when crises hit.
Professor Ingoldel was so dumbfounded by the ridiculous nonsense that he was left speechless.
Seeing this, the skeleton headmaster and Professor Thunderstep nodded their heads, apparently thinking they understood.
“Professor Ingoldel seems to understand as well.”
“I don’t understand! What… if you want to help students grow, aren’t there many other ways! Regular and repetitive training and sparring, a teacher’s attitude and proper instruction…”
At Professor Ingoldel’s words, the skeleton headmaster shook his head from side to side.
It was as if he was saying, “This is exactly why prosecutors are like this.”
That’s not how you raise a mage.
“That’s not praise. Anyway, there are many other dangerous monsters in the mountain range. Plus it’s so rough and complex that you can get lost if you lose focus even for a moment. What do you plan to do if an unexpected situation occurs, like other monsters appearing?”
At Professor Ingoldel’s question, the Skeleton Principal and Thunderstep both tilted their heads and answered simultaneously.
The students should overcome it on their own, shouldn’t they?
“The students should overcome it on their own, shouldn’t they?”
“…”
Professor Ingoldel’s shoulders slumped in defeat.
‘I was stupid to try to have a conversation with mages…’
The more skilled a mage was, the more likely they were to have a bizarre mental world.
Professor Ingoldell may be confused now, but someday he will understand my intentions.
Professor Ingoldel may be confused now, but someday he will understand my intentions.
“…All of that is fine. Let’s say I can accept making students walk for hours deep into the mountains to put them in ‘crisis situations,’ having them face bad weather, and even throwing unexpected crises at them when they’re unprepared.”
Uregeoleum was embarrassed by Professor Inggeoldel’s words.
“You don’t need to praise me that much…
As if to comfort the sighing Professor Ingoldel, Professor Thunderstep offered him hot tea.
Then he said consolingly.
“You don’t need to worry too much, Professor Ingoldel. What I prepared isn’t that dangerous. At most, they’re just bulls enhanced with potions.”
“That wasn’t a compliment. Anyway, there are many other dangerous monsters in the mountain range. Moreover, it’s so treacherous and complex that you could easily get lost if you let your guard down even for a moment. What do you plan to do if an unexpected situation arises, like other monsters appearing?”
“I’m not flattering you. Anyway, there are many other dangerous monsters in the mountain range. Moreover, it’s so treacherous and complex that you could easily get lost if you let your guard down even for a moment. What do you plan to do if an unexpected situation arises, like other monsters appearing?”
Professor Ingoldel’s question made both the skeleton headmaster and Thunderstep tilt their heads in puzzlement as they answered simultaneously.
The students need to overcome it on their own, right?
The students should overcome it on their own, right?
The students need to figure it out and overcome it themselves, right?
“Shouldn’t the students figure it out and overcome it themselves?”
Professor Ingoldel’s shoulders sagged as if deflated.
‘I was stupid to try to have a conversation with wizards…’
The more exceptional a mage was, the more likely they were to possess a bizarre mental world.
Any wizard qualified to be a professor at this school had to be considered half-mad.
Professor Ingoldel gave up on continuing the conversation.
“That’s enough… If any problems arise later or if there are missing people and you need to send a rescue team, please call me too.”
That’s right, that’s right. I see your thinking has changed a bit now.
Yes, yes. I see your thinking has changed a bit now.
That’s right, that’s right. I see your thinking has changed a bit now.
“It hasn’t changed.”
As if to comfort the sighing Professor Ingeldel, Professor Uregeoleum handed him a hot cup of tea.
Then he spoke as if to comfort her.
“You don’t need to worry so much, Professor Ingeldel. What I’ve prepared isn’t that dangerous. They’re just bulls enhanced with potions at most.”
Professor Thunderstep had carefully prepared for this alchemy assignment.
He had meticulously placed monsters in the locations where materials needed for potions could be found, just like last time.
The students might curse him now saying ‘That bastard Thunderstep,’ but in the distant future when they became excellent alchemists, they would be grateful saying ‘Ah, Professor Thunderstep. Thank you.’
“Bulls should be something the students can definitely handle.”
Professor Ingoldel felt somewhat relieved at those words.
Even though they were enhanced with potions, there were quite a few outstanding students among the new students who had entered the mountain range, so they should be able to handle them skillfully enough.
Do they breathe fire?
Do they breathe fire?
Do they breathe fire?
“They don’t breathe fire.”
What about teleport?

“They don’t teleport.”
What about other elemental attacks? Blessing of Sword Immunity? Terrifying presence? Roar?

“Are you planning to invest the value of several manors into a single bull?”
Professor Thunderstep replied as if it was absurd.
Just increasing strength and agility was enough – to grant all the abilities the Skeleton Principal mentioned would require pouring in enormous amounts of money and still not be sufficient.
The Skeleton Principal grumbled as if deflated.
How boring. Let some other monster appear.
How boring. Let some other monster appear.
How boring. Let some other monster appear.
“Just because you say that, will a monster appear?”
* * *
Lee Han’s opinion had sounded absurd at first.
But as time passed, his friends began to feel that Lee Han’s opinion made sense.
First, there was Lee Han’s own credibility.
If Gainando had said the same thing, they would have dismissed it as ‘that guy spouting nonsense again,’ but when Lee Han said it, they thought ‘Still, Wardanaz wouldn’t spout nonsense for no reason.’
And most importantly, Professor Thunderstep had a track record.
The students still had vivid memories of their first alchemy lecture.
Professor Thunderstep’s wickedness in sending mad boars to attack the students!
For such a professor, it wouldn’t be strange if he had mud golems on standby.
“Then where did Professor Ingoldel go?”
“She must have planned it in advance with Professor Thunderstep.”
“That’s too much…!”
“Seriously, these professors! You can’t trust any of the professors!”
The students were outraged by Lee Han’s speculation.
Even Professor Ingoldel, whom they had trusted, was on Professor Thunderstep’s side.
Lee Han calmly reviewed the situation again.
‘No matter how I look at it, it’s too much of a coincidence.’
They arrived at a place where herbs and materials were blooming, and suddenly Professor Ingoldel disappeared, it started raining, and a monster like a mud golem appeared…
It was too perfectly timed to be a coincidence. At this point, they had to be suspicious.
“Wardanaz. If this is Professor Thunderstep’s trap, what should we do?”
“Nothing much has changed. We need to figure out how to deal with that mud golem.”
Lee Han answered calmly to Asan’s question.
Seeing the gloom on the students’ faces, Lee Han spoke to boost their spirits.
“Everyone cheer up. Since it’s a trap Professor Thunderstep prepared, there must be a way to solve it.”
“That’s right!”
That was certainly true.
If that mud golem was a monster Professor Thunderstep had prepared, there must be a way to deal with it.
The students, who had been intimidated by its overwhelming appearance, regained their spirits and began thinking about how to face the mud golem.
“How about throwing fire or acid potions at it?”
“That’s a method for dealing with tro… I mean, trolls. It seems to attack when we cross the line – should we try erasing the line?”
“Would such a trick work? Let’s try blocking the golem’s vision. If it can’t see, it might not notice us escaping.”
“Let’s try shooting it with a bow first!”
Listening to the students’ conversation, Asan thought Wardanaz should organize the situation once again.
Otherwise, all sorts of trashy methods would come up.
Rowena approached and said.
“The Imperial Princess suggests using spirits to draw the golem’s attention… Wait. Where did Wardanaz go?”
“Huh?”
Asan looked around in confusion. Lee Han was nowhere to be seen.
“Did anyone see where Wardanaz went?”
“Don’t tell me he was kidnapped?”
“I’ll break through the golem and find him.”
Everyone panicked much more than when the mud golem had appeared.
However, Lee Han hadn’t disappeared.
Yoner was startled to see Lee Han suddenly appear behind the mud golem.
“!!”
“Wardanaz?!”
The chattering students also doubted their eyes when they saw Lee Han appear behind the mud golem after crossing the line.
The mud golem stood there stupidly instead of catching Lee Han who had already crossed the line.
“How?!”
“With magic. I used invisibility magic.”
While his friends were chattering, Lee Han had conducted a simple experiment.
He tested whether the mud golem would notice or not when he used the invisibility magic on his belt.
Fortunately, the mud golem didn’t notice Lee Han passing by.
Moreover, there was an additional gain.
Once you escaped past the line, it didn’t care much even if you released the invisibility afterward!
This was quite significant.
“You can already use transparency magic…!”
“No. I borrowed the power of an artifact.”
“You can already craft artifacts…!”
“…It’s not crafted.”
The Black Turtle Tower students watching Lee Han were puzzled.
Huh?
Did we sell such an artifact too?
“There was such an artifact?”
“This isn’t made by the school, it’s a gift I received from a religious order.”
“Wow. What religious order gives such gifts?”
“The Prising Order.”
“…”
“…”
Students from both towers grimaced upon hearing the name of the Prising Order. Lee Han felt slightly hurt.

* * *
Although Lee Han had escaped, the situation hadn’t changed much yet.
All the other students were still trapped in front of the clay golem.
“Wardanaz. Go down and call the professor!”
“We can’t send him alone! What if Wardanaz abandons us…”
“Do you think Wardanaz is some kind of Gainando? Don’t say such ridiculous things!”
“S-sorry. I misspoke…”
Lee Han ignored his friends’ words.
Since this was Professor Thunderstep’s trap to begin with, even if he went down to call the professor, there was a high chance he wouldn’t come.
‘Solve it with your own power.’
The fortunate thing was that if Professor Thunderstep had prepared this, it meant it could be solved at the new student level.
Move!
”
Move!
“
Move!
Lee Han threw the iron ball and swung his staff. The iron ball began spinning round and round in the air.
‘Find the core that forms the golem.’
Lee Han planned to randomly strike the clay golem to find where the core was located.
Yoner shouted with a worried voice.
“Will it be okay? It’s a golem…”
Even if it was made of clay, a golem was still a golem. The thickness of its body was no ordinary matter.
He was worried whether it could be pierced with magic used by new students.
However, Lee Han nodded as if it would be fine.
If this had been a wild golem, Lee Han would have considered other methods, but this was a kind of assignment prepared by Professor Thunderstep.
‘Then it won’t be that strong!’
The staff was swung, and the iron ball struck the golem directly.
