“The Professor is right.”

“If we just retreat because we’re afraid, we can never win. A truly strong knight fights against fear!”

‘These crazy bastards.’

Lee Han shook his head in disbelief.

If there had been students from other towers, he would have joined hands with them and said ‘Professor Ingoldel, please come to your senses’, but unfortunately, the White Tiger Tower students were the type who wouldn’t listen to anything Lee Han said.

Even so, how could they agree so enthusiastically to fighting escaped summoned creatures?

Wouldn’t learning how to avoid them be normal?

Sometimes Lee Han felt lonely, thinking he might be the only sane person in this school.

“I have good disciples.”

Professor Ingoldel nodded with a satisfied expression at the White Tiger Tower students’ reaction.

If there had been any students who seemed afraid or wanted to avoid it, he would have reconsidered, but as expected of talented swordsmen, they wanted to face fear head-on rather than avoid it.

Professor Ingoldel’s gaze, which had been looking around, suddenly stopped on Lee Han. Lee Han reflexively shouted.

“What a truly wonderful idea, Professor!”

“Thank you, everyone.”

When Lee Han also shouted like that, Professor Ingoldel smiled with pride.

For something he had thought up after various considerations, it seemed to be quite a good idea.

“Now. Everyone gather in groups of three to form teams.”

Fortunately, Professor Ingoldel had some conscience left. He didn’t tell them to face monsters alone.

But…

‘Ah. I’m screwed.’

Lee Han realized he was in trouble.

People who had difficulty making friends like Nilia would feel suffocated from this kind of team formation.

Lee Han wasn’t Nilia, but there was no way the White Tiger Tower students would team up with Lee Han.

‘I’ll fill one spot with Durgyu, but for the other one, should I forcibly beat someone up and drag them along? Can I threaten them while avoiding the Professor’s gaze?’

“Professor. Can we form teams however we want?”

“No. I’ve made lots, so each of you can draw one.”

Professor Ingoldel gave Lee Han a subtle wink.

The Professor already knew well that since Lee Han belonged to the Blue Dragon Tower, he wasn’t close with the other White Tiger Tower students.

Knowing this, he was showing consideration in this way.

‘Professor…’

Lee Han was grateful.

But…

‘…If you’re going to show such consideration, why not just have us do sword form training instead of practicing catching escaped summoned creatures…’

The twisted way of showing consideration was also very professor-like.

Lee Han stood in line and drew a lot. The number 4 was written on it.

“Anyone else draw 4?”

Durgyu raised his hand. Lee Han’s expression softened. The White Tiger Tower students glared at Lee Han with very worried looks.

Isn’t he going to use Durgyu like a chess piece again?

“One more person?”

A team needed three people.

At Lee Han’s words, someone raised their hand.

It was Giselle from the Moradi family.

“…”

“…”

Not only Durgyu and Lee Han, but even the other White Tiger Tower students were shocked.

‘Isn’t this going to turn into a sword fight?’

On one side was Lee Han, the essence of the Wardanaz family who had mastered all sorts of dark magic secrets even before enrollment.

On the other side was Giselle from the Moradi family, one of the most powerful among the northern knight families, who led the White Tiger Tower students with natural charisma.

Moreover, they didn’t get along well with each other…

However, instead of drawing her sword, Giselle quietly raised the corners of her mouth in an enigmatic smile. Lee Han found that even more ominous.

“Since we both made childish mistakes, can’t we forget about it with this opportunity?”

“You’re not being serious, are you, Lee Han?”

Durgyu looked at Lee Han as if asking what nonsense he was talking.

Of course, if you traced it back, it was Giselle who had started the trouble first.

But in emotional fights, such order didn’t matter.

And if you looked at the extent of the payback, Lee Han was overwhelming.

Putting her to sleep and then dumping her on the Skeleton Principal to send her to the punishment room, leading friends to raid the common room at night to steal flags, and so on.

Durgyu wasn’t particularly close with Giselle, but as someone from the same northern knight family background, he knew quite well what kind of person she was.

Being a mass of arrogant pride, even if she didn’t show it outwardly, she would be grinding her teeth very hard at Lee Han.

Honestly, he was seriously worried.

“Lee Han. When we move together, always keep me between you and Moradi. And never show your back to Moradi.”

“Thanks, Durgyu. That’s encouraging.”

“Have you all formed teams?”

Professor Ingoldel confirmed and then continued speaking.

“A party must always have a leader. The person who drew the paper with red marking on the corner is the leader. The leader should give instructions. The others should follow the leader’s instructions to face the monster.”

“…”

Lee Han recalled that the paper he had drawn didn’t have any red marking on the corner.

“Durgyu. Would you say you drew the one with red marking?”

“…Sorry.”

Lee Han and Durgyu looked at Giselle. Giselle waved the paper with red marking and smiled the same enigmatic smile as before.

“Try calling me Captain?”

“Captain.”

“No. You need to add ‘nim’.”

“Captain-nim.”

At Lee Han’s answer, Giselle’s smile deepened.

“Give good instructions if you don’t want to be stabbed from behind.”

“…”

There was a saying that knights who had witnessed white ice storms coming over the Northern Mountains would no longer fear anything.

Durgyu was one of those people, but the way Lee Han and Giselle were looking at each other right now was seriously scary.

* * *

“So what kind of summoned creature do we have to face?”

“I can’t tell you that.”

“…?”

“?”

All the White Tiger Tower students tilted their heads in the same way. Lee Han felt an ominous feeling.

“We’re trying to learn how to face unknown summoned creatures, so it would be meaningless if we knew their identity in advance, wouldn’t it?”

Professor Ingoldel kindly provided a supplementary explanation.

Many White Tiger Tower students were convinced with ‘Ah, I see’, but Lee Han and a few White Tiger Tower students with functioning brains had their expressions stiffen slightly.

“From now on, enter the annex building one team at a time in order. There’s a summoned creature trapped inside, so face it and then exit through the opposite door.”

When Professor Ingoldel finished speaking, the few students with functioning brains from earlier cautiously asked a question.

“Still, Professor. It would be a summoned creature we can’t handle, so we think we need at least some information…”

“That’s right. Please give us at least a hint on how to deal with it.”

Professor Ingoldel’s face was slightly colored with concern at the White Tiger Tower students’ words.

Come to think of it, she wondered if this practical lesson was too difficult.

‘Well, for the experience of finding ways to deal with things among themselves, there should be some basic information…’

Just as her normal senses, which had been paralyzed by other professors’ eccentricities, were about to return, other White Tiger Tower students interrupted.

“Don’t talk like cowards!”

“What will the professor think of us? She’ll think we’re weak kids who can’t handle even that!”

“No, everyone.”

“Professor, we’re fine!”

“We don’t need hints. We’ll find a way to deal with it with our hands, feet, and swords.”

‘Isn’t this a magic school?’

Lee Han thought to himself.

Use magic, kids! And get hints if possible!

“Those stupid trash really…”

“?”

“What? Why?”

When Lee Han turned his head, Giselle spoke as if asking what he expected.

Originally, managing expressions and words was something you did while reading the situation. There was no need to pretend in front of that Wardanaz bastard who knew everything.

“I agree that they’re stupid.”

“You do say things I like to hear sometimes. Listen to my orders the same way. Then there won’t be any problems.”

Giselle spoke as if warning him.

“I think you’re misunderstanding, but if there’s no problem with the orders, I have no complaints. Why would I pick unnecessary fights? I don’t like picking fights with others.”

“…”

“…”

Not only Giselle but also Durgyu was slightly flustered.

‘For someone like that, he beats people up way too naturally…’

“Someone like that betrayed others and handed them over to the Principal?”

Giselle crossed her arms and spoke in an incredulous voice. Her eyes already had the look of someone who could draw a sword several times over.

“Since we weren’t exactly on the same side, it’s not really betrayal…”

“Lee Han. I don’t know much about rhetoric, but I think you should stop talking.”

Durgyu stopped Lee Han.

Durgyu didn’t particularly like Giselle either, but if he left things as they were, one of Lee Han or Giselle would collapse before they even fought the monster.

“I was trying to clear up the misunderstanding.”

“No, Lee Han. Some misunderstandings can’t be cleared up. And Lee Han, you…”

Durgyu was about to say ‘you have a talent for making enemies angry’ but stopped.

Anyway, in the current situation, only Durgyu could mediate between the two. Durgyu decided to make an effort.

He wasn’t good with words, but still…!

“Both of you, think about it. Acting selfishly just because you don’t like each other will only hurt you both. Even if you don’t like each other, since this is a class, you should sincerely work toward the assigned goal…”

“That’s obvious, Durgyu. Don’t worry.”

“Don’t say useless things, Choi. We know that without you saying it.”

Both scolded Durgyu at the same time. Durgyu felt unfairly treated.

The two of them scolded Deulgyu at the same time. Deulgyu felt unfairly treated for no reason.

The two of them scolded Deulgyu at the same time. Deulgyu felt unfairly treated for no reason.

The two of them scolded Deulgyu at the same time. Deulgyu felt unfairly treated for no reason.

The annex building that Professor Ingoldel had prepared looked like a massive gymnasium or auditorium from the outside.

Of course, the difference was that behind the closed door, instead of pleasant exercise, an escaped summoned creature was waiting.

‘The silence is even more unsettling.’

If only I could have heard screams, at least then I could have made some guess about what was happening, but the continued silence—as if blocked by magic—was actually more chilling.

What did you put there?

“Even after we open the door and go in, don’t move recklessly—assess the situation first. If they start attacking as soon as we enter, split up and move left and right respectively… Pass that along. Choi.”

Dergyu was left speechless by Giselle’s childish words.

What message am I supposed to deliver when Ihan is right here next to me?

‘You weren’t this childish before, Moradi!’

“If it’s dark inside, I’ll cast a light spell right away when we enter, so tell the others not to be startled. Dergyu.”

“Tell him that if he wastes his magic and collapses, we’ll leave him behind. Choi.”

“Tell them that I’m only stepping forward because I’m the only one who knows light magic. Dergyu.”

“Tell him not to show off since I can use light magic too. Choi.”

‘Someone please save me.’

Dergyu had heard all sorts of stories before entering magic school.

They say he prepares harsh trials to make students immerse themselves in magic, they say the professor is a troll, they say those from knight backgrounds are slow with magic and get mistreated…

But no story ever had a situation like this!

Gulp!

‘She probably prepared it thinking that summoned creatures are more likely to roam around at night than in broad daylight, so be prepared.’

“Light!“

Lee Han’s incantation rose like the sun and brightly illuminated the inside of the annex. Both Durgyu and Giselle had to acknowledge Lee Han’s magical skills.

-■■■■■…

The summoned creature positioned inside the annex had an appearance that seemed like a mix of an elemental and a bull.

Not only that, but it also had the aura of enhancement magic and potions that couldn’t be felt from an ordinary bull.

Lee Han momentarily had Professor Thunderstep’s face flash through his mind.

‘It can’t be.’

Ihan’s spell rose like the sun and shone brightly throughout the annex. Both Dergyu and Giselle had no choice but to acknowledge Ihan’s magical prowess.

The summoned creature stationed inside the annex had an appearance that seemed like a mix between a spirit and a bull.

Not only that, but also the aura of enhancement magic and potions that couldn’t be felt from an ordinary bull.

For a moment, the face of Professor Uregeoleum flashed through Ihan’s mind.

‘Surely not.’
