Chapter 837

Regardless, the Blue Dragon Tower friends had completely moved Lee Han.

The White Tiger Tower students flared up and cursed.

“Do you think you guys can treat Wardanaz?!”

“Maybe if it were Phoenix Tower, but you guys aren’t much different in skill level!”

In fact, when it came to healing magic alone, surprisingly the White Tiger Tower students’ grades were better than Blue Dragon Tower’s.

Basically, the White Tiger Tower students’ career aspirations were knight orders or combat-related professions, and in such places the necessity of healing magic was important.

Since they often got hurt while fighting each other or sparring, naturally the White Tiger Tower students’ grades were excellent.

“We’ll be better than you guys, so don’t worry!”

“Our sincerity is different from yours from the start!”

The Blue Dragon Tower friends laid Lee Han down and tried to pull out the branch he was holding in his hand.

However, just like before, it wouldn’t come out.

“It must be because of this branch, right?”

“Should we really remove it?”

“No way. How hard did Wardanaz work to get this.”

The students gathered now were all holding branches, each and every one of them.

There were differences in timing, but in the end everyone had received branches as gifts from the forest.

There were cases like Gainando who received it too quickly, or Lee Han who received it too late…

‘If we burn this and Wardanaz wakes up, won’t he burn us?’

Everyone knew how much Lee Han had struggled to receive the branch.

Even during the time when others were resting after getting their branches, Lee Han kept walking around.

At first, friends who thought ‘Hey, Gainando got it right away, so he’ll get it soon’ changed their expressions and whispered when Lee Han wandered the forest for nearly three days.

-Shouldn’t we stop him?

-I tried talking to him but he didn’t answer. He seems to be under some kind of spell right now.

-But Wardanaz doesn’t get affected by magic?

-It looked like he cast magic on himself.

While they were watching worriedly, Lee Han suddenly collapsed.

The friends who had gathered to wait and see when he would receive it were shocked and ran over.

-Oh no! Wardanaz!!

-The forest is capturing Wardanaz!

-What did I tell you! Wardanaz is hated by spirits so it could be a trap!

Whether this could be called fortunate or not, Lee Han was holding a branch in his hand. It seemed he had succeeded in obtaining it.

The problem was that he couldn’t wake up after obtaining it.

“Tonic-type potions didn’t work. Awakening magic didn’t work either…”

“Wasn’t there an old fairy tale? That, the princess who collapsed after eating a poisoned apple. How did she wake up?”

“The dwarfs brought a dark mage and turned her into a lich. Hey. Is this the time for such absurd old stories?”

When Gainando scolded his friend with a serious expression, the students were flustered.

They were twice as flustered when a friend who was usually not normal said something normal.

When various attempts failed, the Blue Dragon Tower students brought out more powerful magic they had.

“Hmm. Here’s a spell scroll of 【Magus Ahiman’s Mana Circulation】. It needs at least three people to activate.”

According to the recorded document, 【Magus Ahiman’s Mana Circulation】 was magic that rapidly circulated mana inside a mage.

When mana inside a mage circulates rapidly, various negative effects or curses caught within it couldn’t withstand it and would be ground away or bounced off.

Of course, since the level of that magic was high and the required mana amount was high, three mages were needed.

Gainando immediately raised his hand and volunteered.

“I’ll do it.”

“Good. Then let’s have Adenart, Dalcard, and Kirak do it.”

“…Hey!”

Gainando jumped up and down beside them, but his friends ignored him.

Since it was an expensive and precious spell scroll, once they wasted it there was nowhere to get another one right now.

“Magus Ahiman is a dark mage! I’m from the dark magic school, so I should do it!”

“Magus Ahiman, your junior seeks power…”

‘Who’s a junior!’

Gainando grumbled inwardly.

Those guys who weren’t even from the dark magic school were casting it while leaving him out.

Thud!

“…Ugh!”

“Gah!”

“…Urgh.”

The three students stepped back with groans. All three had pale faces as if their mana was depleted.

“Potion! Bring a potion!”

“Here. Drink this!”

The spell scroll that had already been cast had burned black and turned to ash.

Friends asked cautiously.

“How is it? Does it seem to have worked?”

“No… Wardanaz has too much mana so he didn’t budge at all and the scroll just burned up. Our mana almost got completely depleted.”

“…”

The Blue Dragon Tower students looked at Lee Han with newly disgusted eyes.

What kind of guy is that?

Gainando jumped up and down again and said.

“That’s why you should have left it to me!”

“…Lady Ragesa. Won’t you really give us advice??”

The Blue Dragon Tower students called to the pirate crone who was watching from behind.

Ragesa stopped while trying to take out her snuff and said.

“I told you. Just wait.”

“…”

You call that advice!

“We asked for nothing.”

“As expected. She’s thoroughly cruel and cold-hearted like a pirate.”

“No wonder she invested in Professor Verdus.”

Gainando, who spat out the last insult, was hung up with a scream. Ragesa grumbled and said.

“You complain even when I tell you. Then work hard at it.”

“Ha. That’s what we’re already doing!”

Bartrek, one of the alchemy school students who was hanging over a large cauldron, flared up and shouted.

As if supporting the White Tiger Tower dwarf, Siana also shouted along.

“Once this potion is completed, even dead people will wake up!”

“Oh. Work hard at it then?”

At Ragesa’s sarcasm, Yoner actually felt uneasy.

‘…Maybe we really just need to wait?’

As he had felt before, Ragesa did similar things as the Skeleton Principal.

Whether all aged mages underwent convergent evolution together, they enjoyed watching people struggle in vain after deliberately telling them the truth.

Nilia asked Ratford with a face full of worry.

“This potion… isn’t it too difficult for our level…”

“Don’t worry. We’ll check before feeding it to him.”

The 【Dragon Heart Elixir】 they were making now was a powerful tonic potion strong enough to wake even dead people.

Whatever curse Lee Han was under, this potion’s power would be enough to push it right out.

The problem was that this potion’s difficulty was very high. You needed to be at least a fourth year to stably make this potion.

But they were hastily making this by emptying out their backpacks for a collapsed patient…

“How do we check?”

“We feed him one drop.”

“To who?”

Ratford glanced over and looked toward Gainando.

Nilia said in surprise.

“That… that’s not right! That’s too much!”

“Huh? Since Lady Ragesa is a powerful mage, I thought a drop of a poorly made potion would be fine for her… everyone agreed.”

“Ah.”

Only then did Nilia realize she had misunderstood.

He wasn’t looking at Gainando, but at Ragesa who was hanging Gainando upside down and giggling.

“How are you going to make her drink it?”

“We’ll put a drop in her tea. So everyone stay quiet even after it’s finished.”

The alchemy school students whispered quietly among themselves.

Ragesa was excited, never thinking that the 2nd year students were plotting to secretly put a potion in her tea.

Giselle, who received the signal, exchanged glances with the other White Tiger Tower students.

“…Let’s go get water to make tea while we wait.”

“Please get mine too.”

“Why doesn’t Lady Ragesa get her own? You won’t even help your friend.”

“This is helping! And you seem to have forgotten, but this daughter of Torgerd is a guest of Einroguard!”

“…Understood.”

When Giselle glared and then accepted, the White Tiger Tower students grumbled and followed behind her.

“It’s annoying enough to go get water, but we have to get water for someone like that too?”

“She’s totally a thief.”

‘Hmm. Something’s strange.’

Ragesa paused while shooting bird droppings at the fleeing Gainando.

Her instincts, honed from years of sailing the seas and fighting enemies, issued a warning.

There was a smell of conspiracy somewhere!

“Is it you, brat? Huh? What are you hiding?”

“Stop shooting bird droppings and save Lee Han! You mage who invested in Professor Verdus!”

“I don’t know about other things, but your guts are admirable!”

Ragesa shot horse dung instead and exclaimed in admiration. For a mage with nothing, he had quite the nerve.

Whoosh!

“Tutanta, what are you doing!”

“I made a mistake. Sorry everyone.”

The Black Turtle Tower students must have lit the fire wrong, as smoke spread in all directions around the campsite.

Ragesa gestured while coughing.

“Very clumsy. Do it properly.”

“We brought the tea.”

It seemed the White Tiger Tower students had fetched water and the Phoenix Tower students had brewed tea.

When a student in priest robes offered the tea, Ragesa accepted the teacup without much suspicion.

After taking a sip, Ragesa noticed a faint aroma she hadn’t detected before drinking. She hadn’t noticed it because of the commotion around and the smoke.

“…These, these brats secretly fed me the 【Dragon Heart Elixir】?! Don’t tell me you used me as a test subject!?”

“She seems fine! Quickly give it to Wardanaz!”

“You little…! And the elixir is useless! Right now he’s fighting to subdue another spirit in the spiritual realm…”

Ignoring Ragesa’s words, the friends hurriedly made him drink the completed potion.

At that moment, Lee Han opened his eyes.

“…!”

“He’s awake, he’s awake!!!”

“Wardanaz woke up! Wardanaz woke up!”

“We did it!”

“Did what…!”

Ragesa grumbled while feeling the sensation of her body’s mana being abnormally amplified and circulated due to the elixir.

When the elixir’s effect ended, she would feel stuffy for a while from the reverse sensation of it decreasing and stagnating.

‘But it’s quite good.’

Ragesa honestly hadn’t expected the 2nd year students to properly complete the 【Dragon Heart Elixir】 just by putting their heads together.

Weren’t they students from different towers with limited time? It was a perfect situation for fighting rather than joining forces.

But these brats not only combined their strengths, but even those who hadn’t learned alchemy played their roles.

The White Tiger Tower guys fetched water without arousing suspicion.

The Black Turtle Tower guys caused a commotion to dull the mind and senses.

The Phoenix Tower guys used their priest status to reduce Ragesa’s suspicion…

‘…But is it okay for guys in priest robes to do this?’

Ragesa let it slide for now. This was something each religious order would have to worry about.

“You little brat. I wondered why you weren’t scared and kept shouting. You were aiming for this.”

This Blue Dragon Tower imperial bastard didn’t spare his body and provoked her, so he must have had an ulterior motive.

“What are you talking about! Put me down!”

“Alright. Alright.”

Thud!

Lee Han, who had gotten up, looked at the campsite set up around and the friends gathered there.

Seeing that everyone had collected a branch, it seemed Lee Han was the last to collect one.

“…How many days have passed here?”

“It’s the last day the Gwangmok King promised. We have to leave today.”

‘We were here that long!?’

To think they had stayed for the full permitted period.

Lee Han got chills wondering if the Gwangmok King had foreseen this too. Meanwhile, Yoner hesitated and then whispered.

“Lee Han. That, you know, the prophecy. The prophecy about the imperial family and misfortune.”

“…Gasp!”

At his friend’s words, Lee Han suddenly had something flash through his mind.

Hadn’t Yukveltire recently touched Lee Han when making a staff?

“I knew it…! Anyway, the imperial family is no help in life…!”

“…”

Yoner unconsciously checked his surroundings. Fortunately, Adenart and Gainando didn’t seem to have heard.

“I think I know what you’re trying to say, Yoner. My recent misfortune makes me have to doubt the prophecy, right? Yes. Now that I think about it, I did have contact with the imperial family recently. No wonder I was so unlucky.”

“That. You know. Will you listen without being shocked?”

“What are you trying to say? Did Gainando carry me on his back while I was unconscious?”

“Uh… yes. The Imperial Princess too.”

“…”

“Wardanaz collapsed again!”
