Chapter 442
Chapter 442
Yi-Han gestured to his friends with his eyes.
Since they didn't know what kind of personality the huge being in front of them had, they had to be as careful as possible.
Didn't they learn in the lecture that quick-witted and well-spoken mages survive longer than mages with a lot of mana and excellent magic skills?
"Yes. It's the sea. The sea."
-The water... doesn't seem salty...-
"It seems the salinity has decreased due to the spirits going wild."
-According to the contract... your request, mage...-
The sound of the water gurgling kept getting cut off, but a look of relief returned to the students' faces.
Seeing the devouring-ship fish saying it would listen to the request like that, it was clear that the summoning had succeeded properly.
"Quickly! Wardanaz!"
"Make it stop this flood!!"
"I know. Of course we have to stop it during the exam period."
"...Ah, no. We have to stop it even if it's not the exam period!"
Yi-Han's madness slightly flustered his friends.
"O devourer of ships! Do you see the rampage of these spirits now?"
-I... feel it...-
"Stop the rampage of these spirits and make the rain cease! Block the flood and send the water back to the underground where it originally was!"
Gulp-
The sound of one of the students swallowing was heard loudly.
The devouring-ship fish was quietly silent.
-...-
When only the sound of the water gurgling was heard again, Yi-Han carefully asked.
"O devourer of ships! Is my voice perhaps too small..."
-No... I heard...-
The devouring-ship fish answered slowly.
-But... it's a difficult task... my power is not complete...-
'Oh no.'
Yi-Han clicked his tongue.
It was unexpected, but thinking about it, it was possible.
The devouring-ship fish summoned now was in a spiritual state.
It would have lost most of the power it had when it was alive, so it wasn't surprising that it couldn't fulfill Yi-Han's request.
'Then...'
Yi-Han calmly modified his request.
"O devourer of ships. Then I won't ask you to block this flood. Instead, please change the direction of the rain clouds and storm!"DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m
Currently, the rising water was a problem in Einroguard, but the rain clouds and storms that raged from time to time were a bigger problem.
1st year mages could cross a calm sea, but there was no way when rain clouds and storms struck.
-That much... is possible... where to...-
"Please send them all to the upper floors of the Einroguard main building over there."
"..."
"..."
The friends listened quietly and then were shocked.
Hey...!
'Is it okay?'
'Shouldn't we stop him?'
Isn't the upper floor of the main building the domain of the principal and professors?
Isn't sending rain clouds and storms there a declaration of war?
"No. Wardanaz's choice is right about that."
Salko spoke in a heavy voice.
"What are you talking about, Tutanta?"
"Who do you think caused this flood?"
"...!"
The students thought of one person's name.
Who else could have caused the flood if not the owner of this academy?
'Huh? No?'
Yi-Han, who was concentrating on the devouring-ship fish, tilted his head.
This incident really wasn't the skull principal's fault.
The spirits just periodically became stronger and went out of control...
"Principal!"
"That's right. It can only be the principal. Then are we going to keep getting hit one-sidedly? Do you think the principal will be satisfied with doing that?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
-After preparing so hard...-
Orifulas pointed to the center of the lecture hall in a slightly disappointed voice.
The midterm exam this time was for the students to directly make simple and trivial contracts with powerful beings.
Of course, 1st year students couldn't summon and face such evil and powerful beings without any help, so Professor Rosine and Orifulas had worked hard to gather such beings, weaken and seal them, and then cage them and display them in the lecture hall.
The students would talk and converse with these various beings, understand the other party well, and if they could make a contract with at least one, it was a success.
-Do you know how expensive that demon knight is? The imperial bureaucrats giving that demon...-
"I know. I know. You worked hard to borrow it."
-That eight-headed beast was also quite difficult. It was so rough and fierce...-
-Mage, demon. I'll kill you! Grrr! I'll rip out your heart and devour it! Release me! You lowly and stinking creatures!-
The monster trapped in the cage made a vicious threat in a boiling voice. Orifulas, tired of it, took a spear and mercilessly stabbed the monster.
-Kraaah!-
-Didn't I say I'd release you if you stayed still! Why are you doing this? Is it hard to endure even that short time? I've been keeping a contract for over a hundred years!-
-Demon. Kill. Demon. Kill. Kraah! Kraaah!-
-I don't want to use violence, but I have no choice for the young mages. Reflect and speak.-
Orifulas kept stabbing the monster without stopping. Such powerful and violent beings had to be firmly grasped from the beginning, because if they were released even a little, they would climb up.
"...Mr. Orifulas."
-Why? Should I stab harder? But if I stab too hard and the guy gets annihilated...-
"No. That's not it..."
Rosine couldn't finish her words and pointed outside.
Orifulas also turned his gaze out the window. And he dropped his spear with his mouth wide open.
In the distance, a huge summon was approaching, splitting the sea and suppressing the rain clouds.
-A devouring-ship fish?! We're seeing something rare! Which professor summoned it?-
"The students are on top of it."
-...-
"..."
The mage and the demon were silent.
Orifulas recalled the young student he had met last semester who was able to make a contract with a demon without any special conditions.
As expected, that student was sitting on the devouring-ship fish, approaching the lecture hall.
—
"Wait, Wardanaz! Won't the school building be damaged if such a large creature goes inside?"
"The principal will fix it. O devourer of ships! Please go inside!"
Yi-Han had no intention of getting off the devouring-ship fish despite his friends' worries.
As expected, waves and rain clouds were raging fiercely even inside the main building.
'I can't let my guard down just because it's inside the building. It's even more dangerous if you get swept away here.'
If you got swept away by the currents and pushed into the punishment room, there was nowhere to complain.
Yi-Han had no intention of ever getting off the devouring-ship fish.
Swish-
As the devouring-ship fish pushed through the door and entered, the entrance of Einroguard suddenly widened and the corridor expanded.
A student riding next to him exclaimed in admiration.
"Ah...! I see!"
"Indeed, a building like Einroguard wouldn't be damaged by this! Wardanaz. You trusted this, right?"
"No. I just thought the principal would fix it even if it was damaged. To the right!"
The whale-like devouring-ship fish raced on the calm water surface where the waves and rain clouds had stopped.
The students cheered, forgetting the current difficult situation.
Swish!
Suddenly, the wall on the side opened and a waterfall began to pour down fiercely.
The water from somewhere had connected and flown here.
Yi-Han shouted urgently.
"O devourer of ships! Now..."
-I know...-
"If you can't block it, you have to send the water to the principal's room!!"
The devouring-ship fish hurriedly blocked the waterfall with a gurgling sound.
The waterfall flowed back up and re-entered the wall.
"Thank you!"
The devouring-ship fish was too exhausted to even answer.
Seeing that from inside the lecture hall, Orifulas shouted loudly without realizing it.
-Perfect score... Perfect score!-
"???"
The students were startled by the sudden shout from the lecture hall.
