Chapter 86
“Isn’t it the wrong way? It doesn’t look like you’re in school…”
Unfortunately, Yoner couldn’t accept the reality. Lee Han said with a bitter expression.
“It’s school. It’s a punishment room.”
“…?!?”
There were some freshmen who went there, but most of the students had only heard about the punishment room through rumors.
-I heard that if you get an F in 3 subjects, you will be taken to the punishment room throughout the vacation.
-I heard that up to 10 people from the back in the midterms are taken to the punishment room?
-This is a rumor, but among the seniors, there is a person who failed an experiment and was taken to the punishment room.
-If you try to escape the school and get caught, you will be taken to the punishment room, but that must be a lie??
I felt that most of them were lies, but the original rumors contained some truth.
Clap!
“!”
Lee Han held on to the doorknob of the private room, worried, but soon it was revealed that he was worrying for nothing.
Surprisingly, the door to the room where the two were located was open.
‘The punishment room is the punishment room…’
Lee Han realized that this punishment room was not used now.
The corridor that came out was full of dust and cobwebs, and the private rooms on either side were empty and open.
“Looks like it’s no longer in use.”
“Not very comforting.”
Yoner muttered in a frightened voice.
The punishment room without people was more terrifying than the punishment room with people.
It’s better to have someone…
“It’s quite difficult to find the way to the punishment room, but it’s becoming a headache.”
“How do you know… ah.”
Yoner looked at Lee Han with an apologetic expression. He knew that Lee Han had been to the punishment room.
“It wasn’t as bad an experience as I thought.”
“The principal didn’t threaten you, did you?”
“huh. In the future, if the principal says something under threat, I will put ‘I swear’ in front of it.”
“That’s a good idea.”
After checking, the two walked to the end of the hallway.
But there were no stairs.
“…???”
“????”
All that is there is a solid brick wall.
Embarrassed, Lee Han looked back. There was no other passage on the other side. had to go this way.
‘This…’
Lee Han intuited what had happened. It’s only been a few weeks since he came to magic school, but Lee Han has already adjusted to his bones.
‘It’s a magic passage.’
Just as I experienced when I tried to escape to the underground warehouse the other day, the path was blocked by magic.
There were two ways.
Find or forcibly pierce.
Lee Han took out charcoal powder finely wrapped in paper from his pocket. Yoner asked curiously.
“What is that?”
“I made it with the Ratford in case you need it to escape.”
It was a similar principle to finding fingerprints on objects by sprinkling graphite powder.
Yihan’s prepared posture left Yoner speechless.
Seeing Yoner’s strange eyes, Lee Han thought that Yoner was envious.
‘I’ll have to teach you later.’
I’m sure Yoner would love this technique!
“…I can’t.”
However, this time it wasn’t as easy as it was in the basement warehouse last time. No trace was captured.
Lee Han did not give up.
“Yoner. stand back.”
If technology doesn’t work, force.
Just as Lee Han blew off the defense magic at the entrance to the dormitory the other day, he planned to blow away the magic blocking this passage.
‘You don’t have to hit that hard. Moderately. Enough to reveal only the aisle.’
Stop it, you idiot!
“!”
The spirit’s voice resounded in the hallway. It was a ferocious voice that made you feel the violence just by hearing it.
“who are you?”
My name will not be heard by unqualified people. Why did you come to my shade? I won’t forgive you if you don’t answer quickly.
“I was introduced to Mr. Farakis.”
To Farakis?
The ferocious spirit’s voice paused in embarrassment. It was an unexpected look.
It seems to be quite strong like a professor at this school, but that doesn’t mean you have the qualifications to sign a contract with me. I don’t know what Farakis was thinking when he sent you…
“I’m a student, not a professor.”
Yoner intervened.
?
“I’m a freshman…”
……
There was an awkward silence for a moment. Lee Han could feel the waves of magic flowing through the walls and ceiling.
The spirit seemed to be checking again.
It was a young wizard… wait. Are you really a young wizard? Aren’t you in disguise?
“If you don’t believe me, you can check it out.”
The ferocious spirit seemed to have decided not to doubt it any longer after thinking about it.
Then it makes sense why Farakis sent. He’s kind to young wizards. But I won’t give you a contract. I don’t make contracts with people I don’t know well.
“As expected…”
Yoner said sadly.
“You seem to be avoiding Lee Han because he has a lot of magic. Like other spirits.”
…what are you talking about? no!
The opposing spirit was taken aback by Yoner’s words.
It’s not another misunderstanding, it’s just that you get scared and avoid it because you have a lot of magical power.
It was a misunderstanding that could never be overcome.
“But you’re not showing up. I heard Farakis say that Lee Han’s very existence frightens the spirits.”
“Yoner… I didn’t tell you that much…” That
sounds odd!
“Isn’t that why you don’t show yourself?”
Because it’s not! Do I look like a spirit who won’t show me because I’m afraid because of my magical power?!
“Then why are you not revealing it?”
This time, Lee Han asked curiously.
Then the spirit hesitantly said.
I didn’t like pointless fights… so I tried to avoid them.
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Yoner looked at each other. And then you know, he said.
“Is that so.”
“It can be.”
You young human wizards! Do you think I can’t even read the meaning of your voice?!
* * *
Perkuntra.
It was the name of the spirit that the two did not know.
The spirits summoned by the wizard usually did the contracted work at the place the wizard prepared, or whenever the wizard called, they would come out and do the contracted work.
The important thing here is the contract.
The magician couldn’t make the spirit go beyond the contents of the first contract, and the spirit didn’t listen to that either.
However, to put it in reverse, the spirit’s contract in the first place meant that he would protect it by risking his honor.
Then why is Perkuntra here?
I don’t know if it’s a punishment room with people, but it’s a closed punishment room without people.
The answer was that we did not have a proper contract.
-I summoned you, the great spirit Perkuntra. surrender to me bow down to me I know your true name, so kneel!
-Don’t talk bullshit. You stinky lich bastard! No matter how much I respect the strong, do I know how to kneel to a guy like you!
Lich Principal, who found out the name from the artifacts of the ancient ruins, called Perkuntra by that name.
Of course, he didn’t give in just because he knew the name Ferkund. I didn’t know anything else, but I didn’t want to sign a contract with Richie.
The two fought for a week and a week and a night.
When Perkuntra refused to give in no matter how threatened, Principal Rich finally came up with a compromise.
-If you hate contracts so much, how about compromises, cheeky spirit Perkuntra? I won’t give you any orders if you do one thing. In return, I will pay you periodic tribute!
-…What are you talking about?
-I am raising young wizards. There is a building that educates these young wizards, and I hope you stop them from escaping in this building!
– Just that?
– Just that!
Perkuntra was shaken by Lich Principal’s words.
Compared to all the complicated and detailed contracts, monitoring a building and making sure the young wizards didn’t escape was not very difficult.
Besides, unless it’s a formal contract, there’s no need to keep souls close to that lich.
-If you refuse…
-You cheeky spirit bastard. This is my last suggestion. The moment you refuse, I’ll tear your whole body apart and seal it away, and I’ll lock the books with your name on them in a forgotten tomb. Will you go into eternal oblivion or will you accept my offer?
-…good night. I will accept!
Knowing that he couldn’t beat Principal Rich, Perkuntra eventually accepted the offer.
And if the young wizards ran away again, I wondered how much they would hit.
At most, it’s not to the extent that I miss the outdoors.
…However, the younger wizards had better abilities than expected and attempted to escape frequently.
Perkuntra later found out the reason.
That rich bastard was encouraging escape at all.
-If you succeed in escaping, isn’t that a feat? Try your best to escape.
If a crazy young wizard made a mistake, it should be set as a rule to prevent escape. If the escape is successful, the punishment room is immediately canceled, so thick-haired students continue to try to escape.
Thanks to this, the work in the dungeon was far more arduous and difficult than Perkuntra had thought.
The only time I could take a break was when I was alone in the closed punishment room.
This is also a peace that will be broken soon if the students try to escape…
but when the students weren’t there, this closed punishment room was really good.
But today, suddenly, two blue young wizards came to the place where Perkuntra was resting.
‘Parakis. You son of a bitch!’
I knew he cared for young wizards, but I never thought I’d send him like this.
Perkuntra wriggled and said.
It’s out of consideration for you young wizards that I don’t show up!
“Ah… I see…”
Yoner didn’t openly piss off the spirit like Gainando did, but the sincerity in him made Perkuntra even more pissed off.
Any spirit the size of Ferkuntra could read what the fledgling mage was thinking.
Yoner thought to himself that Perkuntra was frightened.
It was a really stupid misunderstanding.
Of course, the young wizard next to him had tremendous magical power, but Ferkuntra was not a spirit that would be frightened and run away.
Lee Han asked politely because the conversation was getting annoying.
“All right. Mr. Spirit. I understand that you have no intention of signing a contract, so could you please open the way?”
wait!
“?”
You two little wizards are now secretly doubting my strength. Do you know how insulting that is?
“No…”
Lee Han protested as if he was unfair.
“Didn’t we speak politely? Why do you have such paranoid thoughts?”
Don’t you think I can’t read those feelings?!
Yihan and Yoner were slightly stabbed. But Lee Han did not back down.
“However, it’s not like we can do even the thoughts that come to mind. Whatever the thought, I think we were polite with our honor.”
At Lee Han’s words, Yoner nodded his head in response.
Nothing was really wrong.
Of course, Perkuntra was not convinced. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
If so, I will show you the fragments of my power.
“If you open that wall, I think you can see it…”
Be quiet and get ready. you! Gather your magic.
“I haven’t learned magic in less than a year.”
Know. That’s why I’m trying to show it in the simplest way possible. Convert the elements with the magic you’ve gathered!
The opponent did not show signs of backing down easily.
Lee Han gave up and gathered his mana. It seemed that he would have to persuade that spirit to find a way out.
“What element should I use?”
With the most destructive force!
“……”
I told you not to doubt!!
Perhaps reading Lee Han’s heart, the spirit got angry again. Lee Han was hot.
“Burn up!”
Of course, the most destructive element was flame. Lee Han brought flame, hoping that the enlightenment he gained from touching the puppy would be helpful.
At that moment, a huge bolt of lightning struck the flames from the ceiling of the punishment room.
Boom!!!
“!”
“!!”
Yihan and Yoner were startled by the roar.
And I was surprised by the appearance that followed.
The flame Lee Han called out was fine.
“…What are you doing?”
