“Wordanaj, didn’t you prepare in advance?”
“Sometimes I wonder what you guys think of me…”
Lee Han confirmed the smashed hole. Then he clicked his tongue.
“Not good.”
“Why?”
“The wreckage is inside the water pipe. It came from outside.”
If the guy who was raised by thunder in the water tower broke and escaped, there was no need to worry too much, but looking at the situation now, it was clear that a large monster had entered outside the water tower.
Ratford looked at Lee Han with a slightly impressed expression.
“You really have the qualities of a big thief.”
“ね…!”
“I, me too! Ratford. I can guess too!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students showed a strange competitive spirit.
Class grades and magical abilities are inferiorRado did not want to lose his ability as a thief.

Nelly looked at him as if he was asking why.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I think it’s because I grew up reading a lot of fairy tale books about honorable thieves.”
At Yoner’s words, she thought that Neilia knew she was nonsense.
‘Is it true that the nobles of the Empire grew up reading such absurd fairy tales?’
“Are there no hunters?”
“Uh… there must be a fairy tale about a hunter-turned-thief…”
While her friends were talking, Lee Han made a decision and opened the door to each water pipe.
“Listen everyone. From now on, we will not sneak into the water tower.”
“?”
“???”
It’s not like sneaking in.
Then what?
Are you trying to write ‘The Blue Dragon Tower students come and go’ on the wall with paint?
“We gathered voluntarily to prevent the intruders from arbitrarily entering the water tower and to protect the professor’s precious belongings.”
“…ah. Aha!”
“indeed…!”
The intrusion of the summons was not necessarily the only downside.
Later, if something goes wrong, I can make excuses for my summons and cry.
…Of course, I wondered if that would work for Professor Thunderwalker.
* * * *
“Light.”
Lee Han floated a sphere of light. The first floor of the dark water tower shone brightly.
Greenhouses and classrooms located next to the hallway.
Students who have been to the magic school at night will know. The night magic school was completely different from the day magic school.
Even in the classroom that looked normal during the day, it seemed that some undead were hiding at night…
Even the plants growing in the sunlight in the warm greenhouse seemed to hold their breath in the dark and wait for an opportunity to attack this side.
‘Actually, it is not strange that Professor Thunderwalker prepared such a plant.’
The first floor was known to all the students, but the second floor was an unknown area.
What is it?
“!”
As I climbed the stairs on the first floor and went up to the second floor, I felt intense magic inside.
There is magic in the space itself.
‘Expand space!’
A space that looked dozens of times larger than the first floor welcomed the students. The second floor was a spacious botanical garden.
The students were overwhelmed by the sight of strange and gigantic plants that they did not know the names of and growing up.
“There is a saying that a good alchemist must be a good gardener. Still, it’s huge…”
Priest Siana muttered in a surprised voice.
As much as she had to go through the mountains herself to gather materials, she had to raise what she could be an alchemist herself.
But even with that in mind, the scale was quite impressive.
“Wow. What is the name of this plant?”
Gainando was amazed by pointing to the brightly colored flowers in front of him.
It was really beautiful to see it swaying with the soft moonlight coming through the window.
Lee Han responded kindly.
“That flower is a nephelop.”
“Oh oh. What does it do?”
“Do not catch any animal that touches the petals and swallow them whole.”
“……”
Guy Nando was startled and backtracked at her.
“But the honey from that flower sells for a very high price…”
“Is that important now?!”
“I asked and answered.”
Lee Han responded like that and looked around.
There were a lot more things that Lee Han didn’t know than what he knew. The same would be true for Yonner and Siana Priest.
‘However…’
Gaksu-gwan was not a dormitory tower. As it was the workshop used by Professor Thunderwalk, there were not many traps.
Professor Thunderwalker would have had to go around right now…
Lee Han calmly found his way. There must be a path that Professor Thunderwalker uses to wander between these botanical gardens.
Moongrak-
“!”
Perhaps reading Lee Han’s thoughts, the Bone Summon made a rattling sound from its belt.
The Bone Summon pointed in the direction as if to look over there. To my surprise, there were footprints that had just appeared on the mud. It was the footprints of a monster.
‘Right. Did the monster pass first?’
It was clear that the monster that invaded the path that Professor Thunderwalk was passing was found first.
Lee Han tried to praise the Bone Summon.
“Wordanaz. I had a good idea. Looking at the footprints here, it is clear that the first monster has passed! Then this way is the safe way.”

Nelia whispered in an excited voice.
Lee Han tried to praise the Bone Summon, but then paused and opened his mouth.
“…that’s amazing, Nelia!”
Thunder Thing!
“Is it because you were from the Shadow Patrol? That’s great. I’m glad you came. It is dizzying to even imagine what it would be like without you.”
“What do you have with this?”

Nelia tried to wave her hand away as if she was nothing, but she had already pricked her long ears.
“ruler. i’ll find a way Ask everyone to follow you.”
“Okay.”
Lee Han put Nelia in front of her like that and let out her sigh of relief.
Thunder Thunder Thunder Thunder!
Lee Han apologized at the appearance of the bone summons protesting.
“sorry. Friendship is harder than you think.”
The Bone Minion wiggled his fingers as if incomprehensible.
* * * *
Moving along the footsteps of the monster that came in first was a better way than I thought.
While moving along the path in the botanical garden, the students were not attacked by any plants.
It was clear that Professor Thunderwalk had not laid any special traps in his path.
‘thank you. professor.’
Lee Han-eun thanked Professor for his laziness and moved on.
-■■■■…
“……”
But where there is luck, there is also bad luck.
Stairs to the 3rd floor located at the end of the botanical garden.
When he saw the monster standing in front of the stairs, Lee Han’s expression hardened.
“Ox… right?”
“okay. It’s not like an ordinary bull.”
Debris, vines, and leaves hung from the bull’s horns as if they had trampled on some of the plants on the second floor because it was not enough to break the front door on the first floor.
The moment Lee Han saw it, he remembered the bull that Professor Thunderbolt had talked about before.
‘…what?’
Up until now, I thought that the elemental bull that Professor Ingaldel had caught was the bull, but when I looked closely, the bull in front of me was much more similar to the one that Professor Thunderwalker was talking about.
First of all, there are no spirits mixed in, and only physical abilities are strengthened with various potions.
‘Then, was it just someone summoned by high school students?’
When Lee Han saw the spirit bull, he was sorry that he cursed his thunderous steps.
‘no. Come to think of it, there’s nothing to be sorry about.’
When I saw the bull in front of me again, my feelings of regret disappeared immediately.
You mean you put that guy on hold on the mountain?
“What are you going to do?”
“There is no need to fight.”
Although the types are slightly different, he had already learned something while dealing with the elemental bull.
You don’t have to beat your opponent to defeat them!
This botanical garden wasn’t a good place to fight, nor did it come to subdue a bull.
Besides, the bull didn’t seem interested in the students. Sitting in front of the stairs, he was munching on something.
“If that’s the bull raised by Professor Thunderwalker…. Didn’t you come back hungry?”
Yonner’s words sounded plausible.
If it was the one that Thunderwalker had been raising, it made sense that he knew the way here.
It was difficult for a normal monster to come up right here without making a mess elsewhere on the first floor.
“Then, if I leave it alone for a while, won’t it eat itself and get out of the way?”
“I think there is a high probability that it will.”
The students breathed a sigh of relief when it seemed that there would be no need to fight.
The guy in front of me felt more violent and ferocious than the spirit bull in terms of size alone.
“…uh… Lee Han…?”
Yoner grabbed Lee Han’s sleeve and pulled him back.
“That… is it okay?”
The bull ignored the students and ate a plant next to it. I chewed a few mouthfuls and spit it out as if it didn’t taste good.
And then another plant, another one, another, and a few more…
It was fun so the bull started destroying the plants a little faster.
The faces of the alchemists Yonner and Siana Priest became pale. Even though it was not his own plant, his heart ached.
Lee Han’s complexion also changed.
It was different for students to come in and borrow a little potion, and for a monster to kill all the plants in the botanical garden.
And when these two are combined, the professor’s anger can be directed at the students.
“You have to stop that! Feet, crinkle the ground!”
Lee Han shouted a spell and then ran forward.
Then he threw a curse spell at the bull.
“Be paralyzed!”
The negative energy took shape like a wave and flew towards the bull.
But the bull felt the threat first and escaped the curse.
“Wordanaz! Why do we have to stop that?”
“That is honor! Wodanaz. I’m here to help!”
The Blue Dragon Tower friends, who misunderstood Lee Han’s meaning, rushed in with their wands.
“Fire of Power…”
When Guy Nando tried to cast a flame-generating spell, Lee Han was terrified and slapped him in the mouth.
match!
“?!?”
“Never fire where there are plants!”
“Aww… be paralyzed!”
“Be paralyzed!!”
My friends threw the paralyzing curse they learned in class. If I called the wrong element for nothing, I could burn the surrounding area and eat it.
Unlike Lee Han’s curse, the bull didn’t escape the students’ curse either. The bull didn’t care, even though the curse had exploded a few times.
“Ah, what the hell did Professor Thunderwalker feed?!”
The students screamed. The bull was stronger than expected.
“Go and disturb him!”
Lee Han sent his bone minions and then began to summon his water beads.
The bull didn’t care whether the other students were wielding their canes or not, but Lee Han-man looked at him with caution.
‘I didn’t throw a curse in haste!’
It was not easy to hit a cursed magic on a monster with a sharp instinct.
It was as if things had gone awry because they made him wary by throwing a curse for nothing.
Lee Han started throwing water beads one after another. The bull escaped accurately, but Lee Han did not panic.
‘Once pulled out among the plants.’
In the first place, they were attacking the bulls to keep them away from the plants.
“Everyone, get the potion of weakness here!”
Siana Priest took out a potion flask and handed it to him. The students who received it hurriedly threw it away.
With a cracking sound, the potioned bull staggered. Realizing that his magic resistance had weakened, Yoner exclaimed.
“Everyone curse once more!”
“Paralyze, paralyze!”“Be paralyzed!”
The bull shook her head in annoyance. She could feel her curse penetrating into her skin as she was weakened.
Lee Han blasted the water beads around the bull in an irregular orbit. The bull flinched and stopped moving.
And Lee Han’s curse broke out.
‘Faster!’
“Be paralyzed!”
The thought of casting it faster than before made Lee Han’s spell even faster.
As a result, the curse was fired before Lee Han’s spell was memorized. The situation was so urgent that even Lee Han did not notice.
thud!
The bull could not stand the curse of Yi Han, so he knelt down on his knees.
The students let out long breaths at the same time, without saying who came first.
“What the hell is this?”
“!!!”
A tall, slender willow was walking among the plants.
Lee Han answered immediately.
“We were protecting Professor Thunderfoot’s plants.”
“…Right! A strange bull is eating the plants…!”
