099
Without time to stop or change direction, the boat went straight up onto the island’s soft sandbar.
However, Angrago and Dukema didn’t realize the situation and kept their heads down low, rowing frantically on the sand.
They were terrified that attacks from the enraged water spirits might come flying at them.
Lee Han was starting to regret why he had to be on the same boat as these particular White Tiger Tower students.
Even if not Durgyu, at least Moradi would probably be smarter than these guys…
“We’re stranded. You idiots.”
“!”
Only then did Angrago realize that his oar was flailing about on the soft sandbar.
His face reddening with embarrassment, Angrago said.
“Ahem. Still… we succeeded in escaping.”
“That’s right, Wardanaz. Look on the bright side. We outran the angry water spirits on the lake.”
Instead of responding to the two White Tiger Tower students’ words, Lee Han just gestured with his staff.
It was a signal to quickly get off and push the boat back.
The two students thought it would be better to get off and push the boat rather than continue resisting.
…And when you think about it, being able to outrun the water spirits was probably thanks to Wardanaz…
“Wardanaz.”
Angrago spoke carefully after getting off the boat.
“Speak. I’m listening.”
“Could we rest on the island for a bit? It’s not that I’m tired, but after rowing for so long, my arms are a little fatigued…”
“I’m not tired either, but Wardanaz, you must have used a lot of mana… and there might still be spirits around…”
So let’s rest!
Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly. These guys had a talent for saying things in an unnecessarily roundabout and lengthy way when they could just say it directly.
“Do whatever you want.”
“Th… th… thank you!”
Angrago was strangely grateful.
‘This guy, did he really think I wouldn’t give permission?’
Lee Han felt uncomfortable at that reaction.
These guys, after I saved their lives and everything…
“?”
Lee Han frowned as he looked at the dwarf student, Dukema. He felt something was off.
Ihan frowned as he looked at the dwarf student, Dukema. Something felt off.
Ihan frowned as he looked at the dwarf student, Dukema. Something felt off.
Ihan frowned as he looked at the dwarf student, Dukema. Something felt off.
“Hey.”
“What… what? Why? Are you leaving already?”
“You seem to have gotten a little shorter.”
Then the Duke jumped up in fury. His face turned red and he trembled with rage.
“How, how dare you?! You’re insulting me just because no one’s watching?! You think there’s no one here to stop you from attacking me!”
‘Should I just beat them up?’
Lee Han felt his grip tighten on the staff.
If they knew there was no one around to stop them, they’d at least watch their mouth…
“No, Dukema! You’ve gotten shorter!”
Only after hearing Angra’s cry did Dukema realize something was wrong.
It wasn’t that he had gotten shorter.
The dukma was sinking beneath the sandbar.
Lee Han’s expression hardened. He had been so focused on surveying the interior of the island that he hadn’t noticed the ferry had already sunk nearly halfway.
‘Dangerous!’
Lee Han-do realized that his booted feet were sinking softly. Anrago tried to run frantically.
“Everyone run forward! We need to get off the beach!”
“Wait…”
Before anyone could stop him, Angra hastily stepped forward. And he sank even faster into the depths.
Anrago, who had sunk up to his waist in an instant, flailed about as if trapped in a swamp.
‘I’m late.’
Lee Han quickly gave up on Angra and Dukema.
The telekinetic magic that Ihan can currently use is 【Basic Manipulation】.
This magic could only work on something as small as a marble at most; it couldn’t be cast on someone as big and heavy as Ihan.
The very structure of the magic spell cannot withstand it and crumbles apart.
But…
Move!
No one insisted on using magic meant to teach the basics of magic for combat purposes.
Move!
Lee Han fixed the iron ball in mid-air as if nailing it in place. Then he gripped the iron ball tightly with his other arm and lifted his body up.
Ihan’s body rose from the sandy beach as if he were doing a one-handed pull-up.
It was a sight that Professor Voladi would have loved to see.
Originally, the 【Low-Level Manipulation】 magic, which controlled small objects ranging from feathers to marbles, was never intended to be combat magic in the first place.
If you want to use telekinetic magic in combat, there are several useful spells available, even if they take a bit longer to cast.
No one was stubborn enough to insist on using magic meant for teaching the basics of magic for combat purposes.
…except for Professor Voladi, that is.
Professor Voladi noted the fast casting speed of low-circle spells such as the 【Lesser Control】 magic.
Whether it’s low-circle magic or high-circle magic, as long as you strike the opponent’s vital point, it’s lethal—so why would anyone obsess over high-circle magic?
What mattered was efficiency.
Even 【Lower-level Manipulation】 can become sufficiently powerful with enough training!
Right now, Ihan was proving it with his own body. The steel ball held firm in midair, supporting Ihan’s weight.
Ihan gritted his teeth and slowly flew over the sandy beach.
From maintaining the iron ball to gripping it with arm strength and back muscles, nothing about it was easy.
Thud!
So that new students wouldn’t be fooled.
This island was the island the Skeleton Principal had told them to go to, and it was the island where the Skeleton Principal had personally thrown in the outing permit.
Then that inescapable sandy beach must also be a trap created by the Skeleton Principal.
Rustle-
A new student has managed to escape.
Lee Han let out a regretful sigh.
Come to think of it, not only the ferry but Angra and Dukema had also disappeared. That was unfortunate too.
‘It must be the principal’s trap.’
-There are no coincidences, everything is inevitable.
Lee Han wished he could engrave those words on the school’s front gate if he had the chance.
So that new students won’t be fooled.
This was the island that the skeleton principal had told him to go to, and the island where the skeleton principal had personally thrown in the exit pass.
Then that inescapable sandy beach must also be a trap created by the skeleton principal.
Swoosh-
The freshman managed to slip away quite cleverly.
A new student has cleverly escaped.
A new student has cleverly escaped.
Sure enough, a summoned creature revealed itself from within the sandy beach with a low voice.
Negative energy emanating from its entire body.
Lee Han realized that his opponent was undead.
“Nice to meet you.”
…Are you not surprised or flustered?
…Are you not surprised or flustered?
…Are you not surprised or flustered?
The undead summon that looked like a large turtle walking on two legs was bewildered by Lee Han’s reaction.
When new students saw undead summons, they would often scream in surprise, wail, or even faint…
But the new student before him was very calm.
“I am surprised. So what’s the reason you’re here? What am I supposed to do?”
The undead summon lost its pace and became flustered again at Lee Han’s question.
It was supposed to explain first, but it hadn’t expected to be questioned like this as if being interrogated.
After a moment, the undead summon regained its composure and spoke.
Originally, you should have sunk down beneath that sandy beach together.
Originally, you should have sunk down beneath that sandy beach together.
Originally, you should have sunk down beneath that sandy beach together.
“…”
Lee Han had absolutely no intention of doing so, but decided to listen for now.
As the new student before him nodded expressionlessly, the undead summon continued.
If you sink beneath the sandy beach together, then begins a trial where the new students must cooperate with each other.

“I see…”
Lee Han gripped his staff.
He didn’t feel the slightest bit grateful for the Skeleton Principal’s grace in preparing such a space for students to become close.
After all, the Skeleton Principal was the source of all this trouble.
As Lee Han stirred restlessly, the undead summon spoke again.
Since you escaped from the sandy beach, I have personally explained it to you.
Since you escaped from the sandy beach, I have personally explained it to you.
Since you escaped from the sandy beach, I have personally explained it to you.
The turtle-like undead summon spoke as if doing him a favor.
And it was sincere about that.
Originally, it should have captured him again and dragged him back, but it was explaining like this because his skill was admirable.
Now. Go back in. You must pass through the trial.
Now. Go back in. You must pass through the trial.
Now. Go back in. You must pass through the trial.
“What happens if I don’t go in?”
At Lee Han’s question, the undead summon responded as if he was talking nonsense.
Do you want me to drag you in by force? Hurry up and go back in.
Do you want me to drag you in by force? Hurry up and go back in.
Do you want me to drag you in by force? Hurry up and go back in.
“Understood.”
Lee Han obediently stood up from the rock. The undead summon nodded as if he had made a good decision.
At that moment, Lee Han swung his staff.
Move!
”
Move!
”
Move!
With a flashing sound, an iron ball flew out and struck the undead summon’s head precisely.
* * *
Lee Han’s surprise attack on the undead summon wasn’t just because the opponent’s words were arrogant and presumptuous.
‘It’s hard to trust those two guys.’
If it had been Durgyu, Lee Han might have chosen to go beneath the sandy beach.
But with those two guys?
No matter how he thought about it, going in obediently would be insane.
It seemed like seriously ambushing and defeating the undead summon had better odds of success.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
With a dull sound, bone shattered.
However, naturally, the undead summon that wasn’t alive wouldn’t fall just because its skull was somewhat broken. The opponent shouted in an angry voice.
New student, what do you dare think you’re doing?
New student, what do you dare think you’re doing?
New student, what do you dare think you’re doing?
“I’m sorry. I was wrong. It was a mistake.”
When Lee Han apologized seriously, the undead summon momentarily wondered if it really was a mistake.
However, the next attack came immediately. The iron ball charged in fiercely like a cannonball.
The undead summon hastily summoned sand to create a wall.
But the iron ball circled around without the slightest hesitation.
And struck the undead summon’s head that it had hit before once more.
Crack!!
Crack!!
Crack!!
The undead summon staggered. And became extremely enraged.
How dare a new student humiliate me?!
How dare a new student humiliate me?!
How dare a new student humiliate me?!
I hide in the night!
”
I hide in the night!
”
I hide in the night!
Lee Han cast an invisibility spell and ran to the side. At the same time, he cast his next spell.
Feet, wrinkle the ground!
”
Feet, wrinkle the ground!
”
Feet, wrinkle the ground!
When the Principal’s magic was cast, the undead summon summoned by the Principal sensed that energy and was horrified.
How can someone like you use Master’s magic… Did you steal the magic?! Such an insolent fool!
How can someone like you use Master’s magic… Did you steal the magic?! Such an insolent fool!
How dare a lowlife like you use my master’s magic… Did you steal the magic!? Such an insolent fool!
‘Summoned creatures seem to view their masters too favorably.’
Lee Han quickly ran out.
The physical abilities activated by 【Gonadaltes’ Nimble Steps】 brought vitality.
Standing still just because he was invisible would be like asking to be caught.
“Go!”
Lee Han summoned the Leopard Bone Summon. The Leopard Bone Summon, much larger than before, roared loudly and charged across the sandy beach.
A summoned creature that hasn’t even found a body dares to attack me!
A summoned creature that hasn’t even found a body dares to attack me!
A summoned creature that hasn’t even found a body dares to attack me!
The Undead Summon swung its front paw with an angry voice. The Leopard Bone Summon was sent flying along with sand.
The Undead Summon began throwing sand toward where Lee Han had been.
I’ll acknowledge that you’re clever for a new student. But that’s as far as it goes!
I’ll acknowledge that you’re clever for a new student. But that’s as far as it goes!
I’ll acknowledge that you’re clever for a new student. But that’s as far as it goes!
Throwing sand in all directions, the Undead Summon headed toward where Lee Han had been.
Even if he had fled to the interior of the island, it was determined to catch him.
Is it here? Or… here? No. It’s here!
Is it here? Or… here? No. It’s here!
Is it here? Or… here? No. It’s here!
The Undead Summon made loud noises while pressuring Lee Han.
It wasn’t actually finding him, but trying to scare the opponent into coming out.
The Undead Summon continued making loud noises while throwing sand at places where he might be hiding.
However, the summoned creature didn’t know.
Lee Han had never intended to flee to the interior of the island from the beginning.
What did it think was inside that he would flee there?
Swoosh-!
Swoosh-!
Swoosh-!
Lee Han, who had been hiding nearby, burst out.
The sword made of black-purple stone, Dawn Star, was swung and slashed the legs supporting the summoned creature’s heavy body.
Dawn Star absorbed the negative energy’s mana, and the leg portion of the Undead Summon that lost its power was reverse summoned.
The Undead Summon that lost its balance fell to the side with a loud noise.
This… this new student bastard…!
This… this new student bastard…!
This… this new student bastard…!
The Undead Summon screamed, apparently quite bewildered at being ambushed.
A mage using an anti-magic weapon, are you out of your mind! Are you even a mage! New student!
A mage using an anti-magic weapon, are you out of your mind! Are you even a mage! New student!
A mage using an anti-magic weapon, are you out of your mind! Are you even a mage! New student!
‘…’
Lee Han decided to ignore it.
Not because he had nothing to say in response, but because he had intended to ignore it from the beginning.
It was true.
