“Everyone gather! Durgyu got captured!”
“?”
It seemed Gainando wasn’t the only one who got caught. Lee Han turned his head at the sound coming from nearby.
In a courtyard a little distance away, White Tiger Tower students were frantically panicking in a disheveled state.
“Did White Tiger Tower get captured too? Did those guys deliberately throw Gainando to them?”
Lee Han asked, wondering if that might be the case.
He thought maybe the White Tiger Tower students, angry about Durgyu being captured, had rushed over and grabbed Gainando to throw him.
“No. Gainando just tripped over his own feet and fell.”
“…I see.”
* * *
While Lee Han and Yoner were caught by two professors and listening to the story of ‘real mages don’t get jobs as officials but go to graduate school,’ the students who had finished listening to 【Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic】 hurriedly rushed out of the lecture hall.
Since it was such a suffocating lecture, everyone would rush outside to breathe fresh air once the lecture ended.
-Pull yourself together! You can’t collapse! There’s another lecture coming!
-I… just leave me… I need to sleep here…
Students on the verge of collapse weren’t only in Blue Dragon Tower.
It had been a boring and torturous lecture for students from any tower.
-But are Wardanaz and Meiken really okay? What if the professor noticed?
-The professor wouldn’t notice even if we put monsters in our seats instead of us during class.
-That’s true…
-I’m not joking, it’s really serious. If I listen to this lecture a few more times, I feel like I’ll fall into eternal sleep.
-The assignments are already this bad, what about the midterm exam? Would it be okay to turn in a blank paper? If we get dragged to the punishment room…
-Honestly speaking. I was thinking about setting a fire during the lecture earlier.
-Me too. I was hoping summoned creatures would appear instead.
Bang!
Whether it heard the students’ words or just because it was noisy, a summoned creature really appeared from the grass field.
Several students screamed in surprise when the vine monster they had seen before appeared.
-Everyone run!
-Escape into the building!
-Someone call a professor!
-No! Calling a professor won’t help! Run instead of wasting time!
Some students escaped quickly, but there were also students who tripped over their own feet like Gainando.
The vine monster didn’t bother chasing the fleeing students.
It leisurely tied up several fallen students with vines, lifted them up, and left happily.
“…Wait. Did Durgyu trip too? He’s not the type to fall.”
“That White Tiger Tower orc friend got caught trying to save Gainando.”
“…”
Lee Han felt sorry for Durgyu. To think he got captured together while trying to help Gainando just because they were friends…
A White Tiger Tower student came running out of the main building, panting.
“What happened?! What about the professor?!”
“He, he said to handle it ourselves…”
“…”
“…”
At the absurd answer brought back by the student who went to call a professor, not only the White Tiger Tower students but students from other towers were left speechless.
Isn’t this really too much??
However, Lee Han remained calm.
‘They should have chosen the professor carefully. They acted too hastily.’
When in a hurry, they shouldn’t have grabbed just any professor and said ‘please help us.’ They should have asked a professor who was relatively friendly and had some conscience…
‘Wait. There are no professors with conscience.’
…They should have asked a professor who was relatively friendly and still had some gullible aspects left.
That White Tiger Tower student probably grabbed anyone in their urgency and made the request.
“What should we do? Wardanaz? What should we do?”
The Blue Dragon Tower students looked at Lee Han desperately without anyone taking the lead.
Should they chase now?
Or should they find another method?
It was too difficult a choice for them to make.
“Let’s chase. We don’t even know where the professors are, and if we lose the trail, it’ll become troublesome to find them.”
Right now, the traces left by the summoned creature were clearly marked ahead and the distance wasn’t too far, but if they gave it more time, there was a high possibility it would become difficult to chase.
And Lee Han had one more thing he trusted.
‘Perkuntra!’
When Lee Han called the name, the fragment of Perkuntra sleeping inside responded and resonated.
Now, the contractor who had made a pact was summoning the spirit with legitimate rights.
Sing thunder for us, O spirit! Thunder and lightning! Even the bell keeper guarding the bell tower of the ruined kingdom, even the watchtower guard of small boats wandering the vast sea fear your name. The one who made a pact with you calls upon you with proper qualification!

The Imperial Princess was startled to see Lee Han reciting the incantation.
As the mage who had controlled spirits the fastest here, she could guess what kind of spirit Lee Han was summoning.
The incantations used when summoning spirits revealed the dignity and rank of that spirit.
Such a long and complex incantation was surely…
Crackle!
Crackle!
Crackle!
Lightning flowers bloomed from where Lee Han planted his staff, and the spirit began to take form.
‘A lightning spirit!’
The knight beside the Imperial Princess, Rowena, was more surprised than the Imperial Princess.
She could accept that he had contracted with a spirit more powerful than the Imperial Princess’s. Wardanaz was also a mage with absurd, monster-like talent.
However, lightning spirits were among the most violent and fierce spirits.
Moreover, if the incantation was long enough to call it like that, it couldn’t possibly be weak.
‘How on earth? By what means did he make a contract?!’
“Come forth!”
With Lee Han’s request, Perkuntra’s manifestation revealed itself.
A fist-sized sphere of lightning took shape while sparking.
The students were confused by its appearance.
Huh?
“???”
“…Ah! I see! A spirit’s strength has nothing to do with its size!”
They had heard that the rabbit-shaped spirit Thunderstep had shown was also tremendously strong.
That spirit also had such an ordinary appearance, but it surely hid extraordinary power.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for Wardanaz to have worked so hard to summon it earlier.
Wardanaz wouldn’t make such a mistake!
The students understood and nodded, but Lee Han didn’t.
It was completely different from the Perkuntra he had first met.
Even if it was just a fragment…?
-What? Didn’t you send only a tiny portion?
-I’m currently… trapped by your command, have you forgotten that…!
-I’m currently… trapped by your command, have you forgotten that…!
-I’m currently… trapped by your command, have you forgotten that…!
Perkuntra shouted to Lee Han through telepathy as if frustrated.
‘When you get out, don’t forget to summon me! This isn’t all I’m capable of!’
Of course, Perkuntra had told Lee Han
‘When you get out, don’t forget to summon me! This isn’t all I’m capable of!’
I had said that.
When you go outside, don’t forget to summon me! My abilities are not limited to just this!
But that was naturally a story for a few days later.
Stay trapped here for a while.
‘Stay trapped here for a while’
to escape the punishment room.
Isn’t this a situation where an order was given.
Stay trapped here for a while.
There was no way he could be leisurely summoned outside when that wasn’t over yet.
Since Percuntra is a powerful spirit, it was only because of that strength that even a small fraction of it could barely be summoned outside like this—normally, it shouldn’t have been possible to summon it at all until the end.
Ferkunthra had explained the situation like that, but Ihan’s gaze was cold.
You don’t believe what I’m saying right now…?!
-Are you saying you don’t trust my words right now…?!
-You don’t believe what I’m saying right now…?!
You don’t believe what I’m saying right now…?!
-It’s not that I don’t trust you, but… if things keep going wrong like this every time I need help, what am I supposed to believe in when I call on you?
Ferkunt rather missed the old wizards.
Arrogant, foul-tempered bastards who threw tantrums and acted unreasonably without a shred of logic.
Such bastards could be struck down hard with Percunt and burned to death.
But this young wizard kept making obnoxious remarks with a polite attitude.
What was even more frustrating was that it was hard to argue back.
Don’t worry. I don’t know why I was summoned, but this level of power should be more than enough to get the job done. Just wait and see!
-Don’t worry. I don’t know why you summoned me, but this much power will be enough to handle it. Just watch!
-Don’t worry. I don’t know why you summoned me, but this level of power should be more than enough to get the job done. Just watch!
Don’t worry. I don’t know why I was summoned, but this level of power should be more than enough. Just wait and see!
‘Is that really so?’
I told you I can feel your emotions!
-I told you I can feel your emotions!
-I told you I can feel your emotions!
I told you I can feel your emotions!
-No. Can’t you even think? Let’s respect each other’s privacy a bit.
Ihan hurriedly pursued the trail together with the students from the Blue Dragon Tower.
Looking ahead, I could see that the White Tiger Tower students had also decided to give chase and were running after them.
“You bastards! Stop copying me!”
“That’s what we should be saying! You’re the ones who should get lost!”
“Can’t even use magic properly… huff huff huff.”
And the outcome of this race was practically predetermined.
It was physically demanding for the Blue Dragon Tower students to keep up with the White Tiger Tower students, who took separate swordsmanship and physical training classes.
Lee Han looked at the students with a pitying expression.
“You should have exercised more regularly.”
“Those… those bastards are ridiculously strong… huff huff.”
“I’ll go ahead first, so follow me as much as you can keep up.”
“No! Wodanaz! Kugh… If you go alone, those White Tiger Tower bastards will…”
‘I don’t think that will happen.’
‘I don’t think that would happen…’
Friends who knew Lee Han relatively well, like Rowena and Asan, thought so to themselves.
While it would be dangerous for any other student to be left alone to face the White Tiger Tower students, Lee Han was a different case.
Even if I stick with them alone, wouldn’t the White Tiger Tower kids be in danger?
”
Why do you have such good stamina?
-Why do you have such good stamina?
Why do you have such good stamina?
-Why do you have such good stamina?
-Why do you have such good stamina?
-Why do you have such good stamina?
Why do you have such good stamina?
Ferkunt watched in bewilderment as Ihan ran straight ahead without stopping.
He doesn’t even seem to be from a knight family, so why…?
But before he could hear an answer, Perkuntra cried out urgently.
-Enemy. There’s an enemy hiding!
-Enemy. There’s an enemy hiding!
-Enemy. There’s an enemy hiding!
-Enemy. There’s an enemy hiding!
I breathe at night!
I hide in the night!
”
I breathe at night!
Ihan instinctively chanted the spell. However, no attack came.
-Where are you hiding? There’s nowhere to hide nearby?
There were no large patches of grass or anything like that near this road right now.
To find an obstacle to hide behind, he had to run further toward the mountains.
Below!
-Below!
-Below!
Down there!
Lee Han immediately launched his body forward.
If it had been hiding underground, there was a high chance that even if Ihan had used invisibility, it would have noticed through sound and vibrations.
However, the vine monster didn’t target Lee Han. It burst out from the ground and grabbed one of the other White Tiger Tower students in front.
“No way!! You can’t!”
One of the goat beastfolk was lifted up, still entangled in the vines.
-How were you hiding?
The mages must have given it some useless ability. Originally, this monster didn’t have any ability to seep into the ground and camouflage itself!

‘This school isn’t just full of professors acting like assholes, but the upperclassmen are being assholes too.’
Ihan gripped his staff and focused on the vine monster.
The captured White Tiger Tower student slumped down as if all strength had left his body.
-That thing absorbs mana. Be careful not to let it steal your mana… Though you could probably afford to lose some, still be careful! It’ll be troublesome if you get caught!
-That thing absorbs mana. Be careful not to let it steal your mana… Though you could probably afford to lose some, still be careful! It’ll be troublesome if you get caught!
-That thing absorbs mana. Be careful not to let it steal your mana… Though you could probably afford to lose some, still be careful! It’ll be troublesome if you get caught!
-I had no intention of doing that anyway.
Lee Han wasn’t stupid enough to get caught by vines just because he had a lot of mana. Lee Han swung his staff, trying to summon fire.
Burn…
”
Burn…
”
Burn…
-No!!!! Absolutely not!!!!!
-No!!!! Absolutely not!!!!!
-No!!!! Absolutely not!!!!!
Perkuntra, who had trauma from Lee Han’s fire, desperately stopped him.
Until he was certain, he absolutely could not allow Lee Han to use fire magic.
-I can’t?
-It’s dangerous! You could burn the other students to death too!
-It’s dangerous! You could burn the other students to death too!
-It’s dangerous! You could burn the other students to death too!
-Not for attack, but to prevent it from approaching…
-Still dangerous!! No!!
-Still dangerous!! No!!
-Still dangerous!! No!!
‘Is it that serious?’
Lee Han was puzzled.
He thought it would be fine to just float some fireballs nearby to block its approach…
-Normally I could subdue that thing in one go, but right now I lack the power to do so.
-Normally I could subdue that thing in one go, but right now I lack the power to do so.
-Normally I could subdue that thing in one go, but right now I lack the power to do so.
Lee Han looked at Perkuntra with eyes mixed with betrayal.
Earlier you said this level of power would be enough!
Perkuntra hurriedly continued his next words.
-But I’ll teach you magic! You’ll use it in my place.
-But I’ll teach you magic! You’ll use it in my place.
-But I’ll teach you magic! You’ll use it in my place.
-Can’t you just use it directly somehow? I’m a bit worried about using it right after learning…
