Chapter 592
Slightly hurt, Yi-Han looked around at his friends and asked.
"Do you guys... not really want to enter my labyrinth?"
"Wh-what are you talking about, Wardanaz!?"
"No? I want to enter?"
The students answered in surprise.
However, none of them could make eye contact with Yi-Han.
'I don't want to enter.'
'I wish someone else would enter instead of me...!'
After spending a year with Yi-Han, the 1st-year students had figured it out to some extent.
The dungeon with the highest difficulty in this illusion magic final exam?
It was 100% the dungeon made by Wardanaz. Even students who didn't take divination magic could predict this.
Rather, it would be fortunate if it was just the highest difficulty level. If he made something like the Wardanaz family's vision labyrinth that surpassed the 1st-year level and invited his friends...
"...It seems like you guys are misunderstanding something."
Yi-Han, who understood their inner thoughts through the subtle exchange of glances between his friends, quickly responded.
In this situation, he shouldn't get angry. He had to kindly and generously soothe his friends' fears.
"I have no intention of making the labyrinth unnecessarily difficult."
"Ha!"
"Puhahahat!"
"..."
"So-sorry. It just... came out instinctively."
The friends who burst into laughter just now apologized hastily after seeing Yi-Han's gaze.
They had an ominous feeling that if they didn't apologize, they might be the first ones to be dragged into Wardanaz's special labyrinth.
"My friends! Why would I make the labyrinth unnecessarily difficult? Think about it. I'm the same person as you guys."
Yi-Han spoke in a gentle tone that he didn't usually use.
When he put one arm each on the shoulders of the two friends who laughed earlier, they hurriedly nodded.
Seeing that persuasion seemed to work, Yi-Han drove the nail in with a satisfied feeling.
"Everyone, try to give me one reason why I should make the labyrinth unnecessarily difficult."
"Because it's you, Wardanaz."
"You were always like that."
"You're taking all the schools."
"I heard you took a different exam even during the divination magic exam."
"In the arithmetic exam too."
"In the general magic exam too."
Immediately, answers popped up from all directions, and Yi-Han regretted it.
'Damn it. I shouldn't have asked the last one.'
"Wardanaz..."
Professor Kirmin looked at Yi-Han as if he felt sorry for him.
It was said that the disciple resembled the master, but was it necessary to resemble even this aspect of Professor Bagrak?
"Now. Everyone calm down! I will decide the order in which you enter other students' labyrinths."
"Since Wardanaz is from the Blue Dragon Tower, how about having the Blue Dragon Tower students enter?"
"You guys... Wardanaz is currently staying in the Immortal Phoenix Tower!"
"I think the Black Tortoise Tower students would be the best at exploring since they've been constantly exploring the school with him..."
"What about making the White Tiger Tower guys do it?"
The students who were discussing opinions were puzzled by Ratford's words and asked.
"Huh? What's the reason?"
"No particular reason? I just want to send them..."
"This crazy bastard!"
The White Tiger Tower students were furious at Ratford, who was trying to send them to the ant hell of death without even the slightest sincerity.
Professor Kirmin started to organize.
"I said calm down! I'll decide now."
The students from each tower looked at the professor with tense gazes.
Which cursed students would end up entering Wardanaz's labyrinth?
"You will all visit each other's labyrinths once. Does everyone understand?"
"..."
"..."
The students were silent at Professor Kirmin's words.
The professor nodded, thinking that the students immediately understood.
However, after a moment, the students immediately grabbed each other's collars and fought.
"It's because of you guys! It's something that you guys should sacrifice and enter!"
"Shut up! If that's the case, you guys go in right now!"
Professor Kirmin sighed and swung his staff.
The students affected by the illusion magic flailed and separated from each other.
'Hmm. Should I lay something on the walls too?'
Doing this was surprisingly fun.
He understood why the dark magic school seniors worked so hard to set traps!
"Mr. Wardanaz."
"Ratford? I can't tell you a safe path."
"Hoho. What do you take me for?"
Ratford let out a confident laugh outside the shed door.
At that answer, Yi-Han recalled Ratford's background once again.
"Ah. Right. For you, solving this level of mini-labyrinth would be possible even with your eyes closed..."
"I'll pretend to be sick and not enter. I've already prepared a potion for feigning illness."
"...I'll tell you a safe path, so why don't you just come in?"
"Pardon? No, thank you."
Yi-Han felt a bit dejected and opened the shed door to go outside.
"Then what did you come for?"
"Ah. I was going to pick some cloud mushrooms, would you like to come with me?"
Among magic, there were some that required reagents each time they were cast.
Among dark magic, bone element magic required bone powder, and even in other schools, there were quite a few cases that required such reagents.
Cloud mushrooms were an essential reagent for casting among illusion magic.
"You're going to try casting Twilight of the Evening? It will be quite difficult?"
"The professor said it would be worth trying, so I'm going to give it a shot. But Wardanaz, it seems like you're already fully prepared..."
Ratford scanned the appearance of the bone shed.
Unlike other sheds, the exterior itself looked eerie and creepy. It seemed like even decent thieves wouldn't enter such a place.
"No. It would be great to cast Twilight of the Evening too. Let's go together."
"It already seems truly sufficient..."
"No. It's still lacking."
As soon as Yi-Han finished speaking, a student who tried to sneak into the shed screamed and ran out.
Skeleton warriors swarmed in and threw bones at him.
"He's just a coward."
"..."
***
Picking cloud mushrooms itself wasn't very difficult.
Although the Einroguard mountains were called the Sky Mountains because they were so high, that was the story of the deep parts, and there were relatively low mountains near the main building.
And the ones most knowledgeable about these mountains were the Black Tortoise Tower students.
It was thanks to them checking various edible plants and setting traps to catch small animals in their spare time.
Ratford had already figured out the location of the mushroom colony where cloud mushrooms were found, and Yi-Han just had to comfortably follow behind.
"No, Wardanaz, why are you..."
"Wardanaz. We use reagents because we lack strength, but you have enough!"
"It's already enough as it is! Don't go through the trouble! You have to prepare for other school exams too!"
...Except for the fact that every student they met on the way to the colony said such things.
The more he heard such words, the more determined Yi-Han became to turn the mini-labyrinth into a hellish labyrinth.
"Hey... look at Wardanaz's eyes..."
"Who provoked Wardanaz? Who was it?"
"That's why I told you to volunteer earlier. He's angry."
The students whispered and pondered whether they should offer a sacrifice even now.
"It's a monster!!!"
"?!"
Hearing the sound coming from ahead, Yi-Han was startled.
'I let my guard down!'
Immersed in the thought of trapping his friends in the labyrinth forever, he loosened his tension in the Einroguard mountains.
It was a fatal mistake.
Moreover, wasn't there a monster chasing Yi-Han right now?
"Everyone, this way!"
Yi-Han quickly gathered his friends and formed a formation. The students asked with frightened faces.
"Wh-what is it? Wardanaz? A monster?"
"It must be the blood-sucking monster. Everyone stay calm..."
Bang!
The tree up ahead flew away, and a huge beast landed in the air.
A familiar beast's appearance.
It was none other than a mountain-destroying goat.
