Fire
Anger
“I thought it was a well-made ship.”
“…Hmph. Don’t flatter me.”
Angra had to speak in a rough voice to hide his pleased expression.
Ihan sighed inwardly.
‘It saddens me that that ferry over there is the best option we have right now.’
Since I couldn’t learn enchantment magic right away or befriend the ice spirit, that was the only method left.
Even if I can’t trust it, what choice do I have? I’ll have to check it out at least once.
“How many people can ride?”
“It can easily carry twenty people!”
Angra’s confidence only had the opposite effect on Lee Han. With a ferry that looked like it could barely carry ten people, such boastful words only made Lee Han even more anxious.
“Perfect timing. Wodanaz. Give it a try!”
Ihan tried his best to stay calm. His already cold face became even more frigid.
At that sight, Angra flinched without realizing it.
‘…Did I speak too harshly?’
“Before that… I’d like to see you pilot the ship first. You won’t be able to navigate as freely as when you’re alone once I or others get on board.”
Angra showed a very enthusiastic response to Ihan’s words.
He threw down his coat and immediately climbed onto the ferry.
“Yeah, just watch!”
Angra took a well-crafted oar in each hand and began rowing with practiced skill.
A sailless ferry glided across the calm surface of the lake.
Anrago’s friend, who had been watching, was amazed.
“Excellent, Anrago!”
Angla glided smoothly as if the lake were her own, looking truly free.
The White Tiger Tower student felt a freedom he hadn’t experienced in a long time watching Angra steering the ferry.
So much so that it felt like being at some quiet, beautiful lake rather than a magic school.
‘It doesn’t leak.’
While his White Tiger Tower friends were intoxicated by romance, Lee Han was coldly analyzing the situation.
Most importantly, the ferry wasn’t leaking.
And even after wandering around the lake for over ten minutes, there were no attacking monsters or skeleton principals. This meant it was relatively safe.
“How about it, Wodanaz? Will you acknowledge Angrago’s skill?”
“Sorry. I can’t do that yet.”
“Why?!”
“Anyone can drive well when they’re alone. But can they really drive like that when there’s one more person in the car?”
At Ihan’s provocation, Angrago’s friend shouted in an angry voice.
“No way! Wotanaz is asking if I can show the same skills even after he burns me?”
“Hmph. Of course!”
Angra immediately pulled the ferry up to the lakeshore.
Then he picked up his friend and shouted.
“Watch closely, Wardanaz!”
“I wonder about that. It’s impossible to drive like before when carrying one more person.”
Ihan deliberately provoked Anrago. Anrago reacted very effectively.
“Watch me!”
Angra raced across the lake, cutting through the water even more fiercely than before. He rowed so vigorously that sweat poured down his face and his arm muscles bulged.
For over twenty minutes, Lee Han cheered on Anglago with remarks like “It’s still too early to tell,” “Anyone can do that well for just a few minutes,” and “His true skill level will probably show soon.”
Having roughly confirmed everything he wanted to check, Ihan nodded his head.
‘Contrary to what I thought, I might be able to get along with those guys from the White Tiger Tower after all.’
“Huff… huff… huff huff huff… Did you see that… This is… my true power…”
“Yes. I admit my defeat.
“Then let me try riding too.”
“…Again?”
Angrago unconsciously let out a weak sound.
Several rounds of rowing had made Angrago fearful.
When the other person hesitated, Lee Han simply encouraged him.
“Don’t tell me you lack confidence…”
“Get on!”
Angrago sprang up and climbed onto the ferry. Angrago’s friend, Dukema, asked with a worried expression.
“Wouldn’t it be better if I got off instead?”
“Dukema! Don’t you trust me?”
“…Sorry, Angrago. I disrespected your honor!”
“Hurry up and depart.”
Lee Han spoke in an indifferent voice. He wasn’t particularly interested in whether the two knights shared their friendship or not.
‘First, I’ll check the location of the island.’
Now that he knew the boat was fairly safe, he planned to check the island’s location and secure a route to get there.
Angrago gritted his teeth and began rowing. The ferry glided across the lake once more.
Lee Han frowned and concentrated to see what was on the lake.
‘It would have been nice to have a telescope.’
It would have been much easier if he knew how to use artifacts or magic.
Lee Han suddenly remembered what he had heard from Alarlong.
-A swordsman who has reached mastery uses mana to activate and strengthen his body. While it’s not as precise and systematic as magic, it’s more than sufficient power in life-or-death battles.
If that was true, he might be able to enhance his eyesight with the power of mana too.
Lee Han drew up his mana.
He wasn’t yet at the level where he could freely control the mana within his body, circulating it to strengthen just one bodily organ.
Instead, Lee Han had mana he could waste infinitely.
Lee Han simply released mana as if emanating it throughout his entire body. The mana concentrated in his eyeballs temporarily strengthened his vision as it was released.
“?!?!”
The two students beside him panicked when Lee Han suddenly emitted a murderous aura.
Come to think of it, this was on the lake.
A perfect place to throw a body if someone died…!
Snap!
The two White Tiger Tower students frantically grabbed their wooden swords. They couldn’t die like this.
At that moment, Lee Han shouted.
“Found it!”
“??”
Come to think of it, this was above a lake.
Perfect for dumping a body when someone dies…!
Pop!
The two White Tiger Tower students frantically grabbed their wooden swords. They couldn’t die like this.
At that moment, Ihan shouted.
“Found it!”
“I found the island.”
“What?! How did you find it!”
Angrago was startled.
They hadn’t found any trace of the island when making the ferry boat, nor even after launching it.
He thought it would be absolutely impossible without going much further…
“I was lucky. But why are you holding a wooden sword?”
“…”
“…You suddenly shouted and startled me… it’s a habit.”
“You’re more timid than I thought.”
“You’re more timid than I thought.”
“You’re more timid than I thought.”
The White Tiger Tower students felt indignant.
It’s because you suddenly burst out with mana!
* * *
Lee Han carefully recorded the direction.
“Let’s go back for now. Since we’ve confirmed the direction, we can come again next time.”
“Right. Got it.”
Angrago was secretly pleased.
His muscles had been screaming since earlier.
“Ugh.”
Due to his weakened strength, Angrago rowed the oar incorrectly.
‘What?’
Angrago, who had made a mistake, flinched as he felt like he had poked something soft with the oar.
Splash-
Splash-
Splash-
“…???”
And he soon found out what he had poked.
A water mass that was changing shape beneath the lake’s surface popped up.
The spirit’s aura could be felt.
It was a water spirit.
Swoosh-!
Swoosh-!
Swoosh-!
The water spirit shot out sharp water spikes. Lee Han kicked Dukema’s back to knock him down.
The water spike barely grazed past Dukema’s head.
“So… sorry! Wardanaz! I, I touched the water spirit!”
“Angrago! What did you do!”
Dukema, who had fallen forward, shouted in a horrified voice.
To anger a water spirit while on the lake. It was an unbelievable mistake.
‘No… it doesn’t seem angry.’
Unlike the panicked two, Lee Han calmly observed the water spirit.
Though its momentum was fierce, compared to the overwhelming presence that spirits like Perkuntra emitted, this was a much weaker spirit.
Seeing that it lacked proper communication abilities, it was clearly not a high-level spirit.
And the emotion felt from the spirit was…
Fear!
Lee Han couldn’t understand why the water spirit was afraid of them.
Did it make sense to be afraid just from being hit once by an oar?
‘…Damn.’
Lee Han clicked his tongue.
He realized why the water spirit was acting this way.
The culprit wasn’t Angrago but Lee Han.
The spirit in the water had been terrified because he had recklessly released mana earlier to find the island.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
The terrified spirit fired water spikes to drive Lee Han away.
The White Tiger Tower students screamed at the eerie attack, but Lee Han didn’t even blink as he swung his staff to counter.
With dull bursting sounds, water orbs that shot up from the lake precisely intercepted the spikes.
‘It looks threatening at first glance, but it’s not actually that strong.’
The White Tiger Tower students were fooled by the appearance, but if they had responded calmly, it was an attack they could have dodged or blocked sufficiently.
For Lee Han, who had blocked Professor Boladi’s attacks countless times, the spikes shot by the spirit were no longer a threat.
‘This… this guy…’
Angrago was more surprised by Lee Han than by the angry spirit.
It was hard to believe they had entered together and learned together.
What kind of training did the Wardanaz Family teach to create such an emotionless combat machine?
Lee Han turned his head and looked down at Angrago expressionlessly.
While water spikes were flying eerily, he deflected them without even looking and stared, making Angrago’s heart sink.
“Get your head together and stand up. I need your strength.”
“You… you’re not blaming me?”
“…”
Lee Han momentarily wondered what he was talking about.
‘Ah. He thinks it’s his fault.’
Angrago seemed to think the water spirit was acting this way because he had poked it once with the oar.
What a misconception.
“It is your fault. But anyone can make mistakes.”
Then there was no need for Lee Han to correct him.
“What matters is how you act afterward.”
Angrago was moved without realizing it.
To think the day would come when he’d be this moved by that Wardanaz bastard’s words…!
“Right. Leave it to me!”
Angrago drew his sword and stood up.
Then Lee Han spoke as if asking what he was doing.
“What are you doing?”
“…Wasn’t I supposed to deflect the spikes? With my swordsmanship?”
“No. Row the oar.”
“…”
Angrago sat back down. And grabbed the oar.
Meanwhile, the water spirit realized that no attack worked on that monster-like being.
The trembling water spirit made a different choice.
“…Wait!”
Lee Han noticed too late and tried to stop it urgently, but the water spirit had already begun calling other friends.
Shield, Unfold!
”
Shield, Unfold!
”
Shield, Unfold!
Lee Han spread a shield wide instead of a water orb.
The frightened water spirits began targeting the boat instead of Lee Han.
‘Cowardly spirits.’
Lee Han vowed to never let his guard down when encountering water spirits in the future.
While Lee Han maintained his composure as he thickened the water shield, the two White Tiger Tower knights screamed at the water thorns that kept flying and striking.
The thorns flying menacingly beyond the opaque water shield could penetrate at any moment.
Lee Han’s relaxed appearance made it even more frightening.
Aren’t you scared?!
‘Professor Boladi would shed tears if he saw this.’
Lee Han was dumbfounded by the spirits’ behavior of attacking only in straight lines without any variation.
By now they should realize they can’t break through the water shield, yet they keep making the same attacks?
While the fierce battle continued, the boat picked up speed more and more.
They began to distance themselves from the frightened spirits.
“…Wait. Where are we heading?”
Lee Han realized the boat was running toward the opposite side of the lakeside.
Due to Angrago frantically rowing, they had ended up heading toward the island.
