008
People in the original family could not know the rumors or images of the family.
When it came to the Wodanaj family, the family mansion was larger than any castle, and the family land was as wide as a city.
The people who live there and those who work there couldn’t say anything rude about the Wodanaj clan…
“Is there something wrong with the Wodanaj family?”
“Oh… nothing. Absolutely no problem.”

Nelly took a step back again.
“I don’t know what rumors you’ve heard, but they’re all nonsense.”
Even with Lee Han’s words, Nelia did not loosen her boundaries. Yoner said comfortingly.
“Originally, absurd rumors are bound to come from the noble families of the Empire. I don’t care too much.”
“is it?”
“Of course, the Wodanaj family is a bit harsh, but…”
“……”
It wasn’t very comforting.
While the two were talking, Nelia said in a firm voice that she had made up her mind.
“okay. There is no reason for me to be intimidated by the Wodanaj family.”
“What rumors did you hear?”
“……”
Whether or not Nelia can tell her, she pondered a little.
It’s a little bit hard to tell…
-The head of the Wodanaj family is actually a dragon. During the undead frenzy that occurred in the western part of the continent, it flew and burned all the undead with breath.All.
-The bloodlines of the Wodanaj family received enormous magical powers in exchange for a contract with a powerful ancient spirit, but they lost their emotions.
– Wizards from the Wodanaj family have neither blood nor tears. A city was destroyed by House Wordanaj wizards who appeared during the imperial separatist riots.
…and so on.
The image of the Wodanaj family was far more terrifying than Lee Han had imagined.
In the eyes of the common people of the Empire, it feels like ‘ruthless magic monsters that don’t appear normally, but suddenly appear and wipe out when something happens’.
“If a major incident occurs in the Empire, of course the Archmage will come, right?”
“Because it is. Don’t worry too much.”
Lee Han was embarrassed, and Yonner was very accommodating. Nelia thought to herself at the reaction.
‘The rumor that I lost my emotions is definitely a rumor…?’
* * * *
“for a moment.”
“?”
“Something is strange. Look here.”

Nelia pointed her finger to her ground.
She was almost invisible because of the grassy hills, but Nelia caught her traces with her dark elf sense and her experience with ＜Shadow Patrol>.
“Can you see it? A pretty big guy walked over here.”
“Isn’t that shallow for something like that?”
“You got it right. He must be a pretty smart guy. I was moving without leaving a trace while controlling my power, but I made a mistake eating this fruit here.”
Yonner didn’t show much interest.
In the beginning, Yonaire’s interest was alchemy.
It was only natural that he wasn’t interested in this hunter’s hunting tactics. Yoner looked around and was checking to see if there were any herbs.
‘Chit.’

Nelly was slightly annoyed inside.
When she was on ＜Shadow Patrol>, everyone was on the same page.
All of her were hunters and rangers, and most of the villagers had hunters or rangers in their families, so she suffered from any words she said.
– I almost got mad. The hair is beautiful, so I tried to catch it somehow…
-ha ha ha! This can be happen. When I was younger too…
People who can talk for an hour just by taking out the game they saw while hunting.
On the other hand, there are so many different people here.
– Well, it happened to me in the mountains…
-mountain?
-uh. to go hunting…
– Until hunting? why?
-Yeah, I belong to the patrol…
– Can’t we just buy it with money?
-…Sis bird, do you really want to get behind?
– Hey!
…For Nilia, who had been through the same conversation, Yonaire’s reaction was a bit annoying.
But what to do?
‘okay. Not everyone is a hunter, so I have to adapt.’
“Five. That’s fun. Anything else?”
“…!”
Meanwhile, Lee Han’s reaction was unexpected for Nelia.
Lee Han is listening seriously with a very interesting expression.

Nelia asked in confusion.
“Is it fun?”
“Isn’t that the part that shouldn’t be fun?”
“…no. It’s not that it shouldn’t be fun, but I didn’t mean to say it was supposed to be fun, but of course…”
“???”
When the opponent was gibberish, Lee Han was taken aback.
‘Have you been drinking?’
She said she was Neila and she hurriedly returned to her point as she herself realized that she was making some weird noises on her own.
“great! Anyway, it’s best to be careful when you spot any traces of such a large prey. See the cut grass here? They have pretty big claws.”
“Right.”
Lee Han was basically curious and likes to learn.
Otherwise, he would not have gone to graduate school, no matter how much he was scammed by his professor.

Not just magic, but the wisdom of such a hunterIt was quite interesting.
“Can you find out the other person’s identity?”
“This is not enough.”
She said as she crossed her arms in disappointment for Nelia.
There was a saying that a seasoned hunter could identify himself just by looking at his footprints, but that was a fantasy.
A hunter could guess the identity just by looking at the footprints because he had lived in the area for a long time and knew all the monsters in that area.
I don’t know what’s around here, but I can’t figure it out right away.
“Besides, I’ve heard that there are a lot of strange monsters around the magic school.”
“ah. I heard that story too.”
Yonner nodded.
Einroguard itself was located in a land rich in magical power, so a lot of monsters had to appear under the influence of that magic.
And apart from that…
“The monsters created during the experiment are roaming around the school. It is said that rare slimes often occur because of discarded potions.”
“……”
Ian was not funny.
‘Aren’t there any safety rules for the wizards here?’
From potions to artificial creatures created by magic.
Shouldn’t these things be carefully managed?
However, it was only natural that such a problem would arise if we just threw it away.
“I should be more careful.”
“Well said! I’m basically going to follow this trail and move. There will be fewer surprises.”
“Can I learn to read traces too?”
At Lee Han’s words, Nelia blinked her eyes.
I wondered if I was being rude, so Lee Han said again.
“If it’s hard to teach, it doesn’t matter if you just ignore it…”
“…it must never be easy, will you give up learning along the way? Do you know how difficult this skill is?”
“If you teach me, I will try my best not to do that.”
“…huh. I’ll teach you, so why don’t you try it once!”
Yoner asked in a low voice so that Nilia could not hear.
“Do I really need to learn something like that?”
“why. You look fun.”
“???”
* * * *
“found. poison ivy.”
While Nilia and Lee Han were on their guard, Yoner discovered a medicinal herb.
Lee Han admired the herbs hidden among the thickly grown bushes.
‘You found it.’
“There are only two.”
“……”
“……”
“I just need to find one more… Why are you all silent?”
Yoner turned his head.
And I realized why the two of them disappeared.
-■■…
A gigantic pig was glaring at him very intensely.
“I can feel the magic, so I must have eaten something wrong.”
At the magical power felt from the pig, Lee Han said calmly.
Whether you ate the reagents that spilled around you, ate a potion, or received a special experiment…
“Now is not the time to say that! Be careful!”

Nelia whispered in an urgent voice.
Pigs were never weak animals.
Heavily sized, with quite agile movements. The one with fangs was even more dangerous.
Besides, the opponent now was not a livestock that was raised quietly, but a beast that had completely recovered its wildness.
If he ate strange things and had magical powers, it was better to see him as a monster.
“Think of it as a wild boar! Never provoke! Everyone step back slowly!”

Nelia said to the two of them.
Yoner gave strength to his wobbly legs. Lee Han supported Yoner and leaned back a little.
-■■■!
But the pig made a sound and strode over this way.
He seemed to be quite angry, so he was spewing steam and being brave.
“It would be dangerous if we just step back.”
Lee Han stopped with a stick.
Like a spear, with two handsIt was quite plausible to stand forward holding the cane strongly.
‘right…! Was she from the Wodanaj family?’
It was then that Nelia remembered which family Lee Han came from.
She comes from the Empire’s Grand Mage family, the Warda Naz family.
She didn’t know she had learned some magic before she even came here.
She said, ‘Before, she said she was chasing when there were wild beasts or monsters around, didn’t she?’

Nelia asked Lee Han in a low voice.
“Are you sure?”
“Not sure, but maybe?”
“If you fail, run with that red hair on your back! I will lure you in!”
Of all the people here, she was able to traverse mountains and hills the fastest, Neilia herself.
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe in Lee Han’s magic, but an experienced hunter always had to be prepared for emergencies.
She knew that when things went wrong, she knew she was going to lure the pigs out of her own.
Lee Han had a slightly moved expression on her face at Nelia’s words. She was the same with Yoner.
“So far we…”
“Isn’t that what it is!? It’s something that only me can do, right?!”
“okay. Anyway, thank you. Please take good care of me in any case.”
Lee Han concentrated without talking any more.
The pigs were also getting closer and closer.
‘three. two. one.’
Lee Han calmly counted and measured the distance with his opponent.

Nelia, who was watching from behind her, swallowed her saliva with her tense expression on her face.
What kind of magic are you trying to use against that pig?
tight!!!
“……”
A clear sound echoed from the pig’s head.
What Lee Han chose was wielding a staff.
* * * *
-You are the king of black weapons, but you shouldn’t only deal with swords. Swordsmanship must be prepared for situations where there is no sword. Swords, spears, clubs, daggers and bare hands.
-Right.
-…I don’t mean to say, but don’t you complain?
-why?
– Oh, no.
Alaron was not a person who taught easily just because he was a direct descendant of the family.
He taught Yi Han as rigorously and harshly as he had been taught.
And Lee Han learned really well.
Other nobles would have said, ‘Why do I have to do such a difficult job!’, but Lee Han was the exact opposite.
‘I do exercise even with money, isn’t it worth it?’
When he was in graduate school, he didn’t even want to play sports, but he couldn’t be dissatisfied with the situation now that Allard Long teaches everything from one to ten.
Besides, if you’re sick, the servants will come running right away and offer you food, drink, and magic potions…
– Lee Han. You may be wondering by now. Why not teach me how to put Aurors on weapons like other knights do.
– You didn’t even think of that? Can someone like me rise to such a great level?
-…if it’s not because of the auror, then why did you say you want to learn swordsmanship?
Allarlong looked at Lee Han as if he was absurd rather than teaching.
