Chapter 738
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
One of Einroguards few advantages is being able to see such precious monsters like this. Hahaha!Professor Bendozol continued speaking excitedly, oblivious to the changing expressions on the students faces.
Even if he had been angry just moments before, he would always become happy whenever monster topics came up.
The students looked at each other, unsure who should bring up the topic first.
Now then. Shall we all go meet the Nightmare?
Professor.
Lee Han raised his hand and called out. Professor Bendozols expression turned openly displeased.
What? Dont tell me you dont want to meet it? How often does a worthless human like you get the chance to meet such a precious monster as a Nightmare??
Here
Lee Han pulled out a sparrow monster from his coat pocket.
It was a Nightmare still trembling from the poisoned state.
Professor Bendozol was so shocked he couldnt even respond. He just blinked and stared at the trembling Nightmare.
Nilia whispered with a slightly expectant voice at the sight.
-Isnt he going to collapse from a heart attack?
However, Professor Bendozol barely managed to overcome the shock.
Im im impossible! Who caught the Nightmare! You! You caught the Nightmare!
Professor! Wardanaz didnt do it!
Seeing the professors demonic expression, his friends quickly came up with lies.
They thought that if left alone, he might attack Lee Han.
Of course, it wasnt like there had never been professors who attacked Lee Han before, but there was no need to increase that number unnecessarily.
Think about it! How could Wardanaz defeat a Nightmare!
Were only second years!
As the students shouted, they seemed to think their lies were quite convincing and gained confidence.
Indeed, it did sound strange that a second-year student had defeated a Nightmare like this and brought it here.
But unfortunately, Professor Bendozol had been observing Lee Han since winter break.
Shut up! Where in the Empire is there such a second year!
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
Of course, he was the one who had defeated the Nightmare, but
Isnt this too much?
I should have realized when you arrived first without being affected by the evil spirits earlier! That you would kill the Nightmare!
Its not dead yet though
Sob sob. Im sorry! Its my fault! Its my fault!
Professor Bendozol ignored the students words and cried pearl-like tears while shouting at the Nightmare.
Then he snatched the Nightmare from Lee Hans hands and began checking its condition.
Wait. This poison is?
Lee Han eventually had no choice but to tell the truth.
Actually, my pet Basilisk bit it.
Really? Then it cant be helped.
Professor Bendozol nodded as if the laws of nature couldnt be helped.
The students looked at the professor like they were looking at a madman.
Dont worry too much about it.
Yes. Thank you.
I wasnt talking to you, I was talking to the Basilisk!
When the professor shouted, the Basilisk made displeased hissing sounds.
It judged him to be an enemy threatening its master.
Professor Bendozol urgently shouted like a mage witnessing the sky falling.
Im not your masters enemy!
Regardless, the Basilisk continued hissing.
Professor Bendozol glared at Lee Han with teary eyes.
He was furiously angry.
My my precious disciple!
??
Who else would it be! Im talking about you!
The professor whispered angrily. Hearing that sound again, the Basilisk reacted once more.
Professor Bendozol gritted his teeth at the clueless Lee Han. Now was the time to endure.
You, you are my precious disciple. Haha.
-
Look. See this. Haha. Were close.
Although he didnt want to make contact with such a filthy human race, Professor Bendozol endured and put his arm around his disciples shoulders in a friendly manner.
Even seeing this, the Basilisk remained suspicious.
Professor. How long do we have to do this?
Until the Basilisk stops being suspicious!
The professor growled.
Regardless, Lee Han asked coldly. Einroguard students couldnt survive without taking advantage of such moments.
Then how about we all gather together before departing for the next lecture?
You, you!
Professor Bendozol was horrified by his wicked disciples suggestion.
True to the human race, he was wickedly evil to the core!
When the Basilisk was about to hiss again, the professor urgently accepted.
Fine! Well all gather together!
How about we also discuss in advance what animals well go meet?
Damn it Fine!
Haha. Were close friends.
Lee Han and Professor Bendozol put their arms around each others shoulders and laughed awkwardly. Only then did the Basilisk lower its guard and become quiet.
***
Professor Bendozol sighed after barely managing to detoxify the baby Basilisks poison with several potions and magic spells he had on hand.
Fortunately, it was poison from a Basilisk that hadnt fully grown yet, and the Nightmare itself was such a strong monster.
If it hadnt been a Nightmare born in a place where all kinds of nightmares and spirits were condensed, it would have been difficult to withstand such deadly poison.
Why is this cute little ones poison so strong when it hasnt even fully grown yet?
Professor Bendozol looked at Lee Hans sleeve with affectionate eyes. Lee Han hid his sleeve with a displeased expression.
Since the Nightmare has recovered a bit, Ill start the lecture.
Gasp! Right. It was lecture time?
I was momentarily wondering why we were doing this here.
The students finally realized it was lecture time and took out their books.
Professor Bendozol carefully placed the Nightmare on the floor and spoke.
One of the most beautiful aspects of this monster called the Nightmare is these jewel-like eyes. When living beings meet these eyes, they fall under powerful illusion magic
Be careful of the Nightmares eyes when hunting it. It has innate illusion magic. Dangerous!
When it flaps its wings, it summons the evil spirits dwelling within! The way this color changes brilliantly when light hits it is truly beautiful!
Be careful of the evil spirits that pour out when the Nightmare flaps its wings. Prepare methods to deal with evil spirits.
If this little one settles in the forest for a long time, more and more spirit monsters will increase, and this is also part of the process where it prepares to lay new eggs! If we leave the forest alone like this, this cute little one will devour all the increased spirits and turn them into eggs!
If a nightmare settles in the forest, it must be subjugated as quickly as possible
The students listened seriously to Professor Bendozols lecture.
To survive at Einroguard, one had to be knowledgeable bout all kinds of dangerous monsters.
Students who didnt at least know how to run away and avoid them, or where they came from, wouldnt last long.
Originally, few people took as deep an interest in and understanding of prey as hunters did, but Professor Bendozol was an exception to that rule.
The little guy seems sleepy. Lets let him rest for a bit.
Professor Bendozol gently covered the nightmare with a temporary magical blanket woven from leaves.
It was a blanket enchanted with magic that restored stamina.
When the professor approached, Lee Han subtly turned the page of his notebook.
If he saw the content about how to hunt nightmares, Professor Bendozol might have a heart attack.
How well are you taking care of the unicorn?
Pardon?
The unicorn! The unicorn!
I think I visit about once every two or three days
T two days! Th three days!!
When Professor Bendozol made an expression as if he was having another heart attack, the Nigisor priest nearby looked puzzled.
Does he perhaps fear dates?
You should visit five times a day, you damn cherished disciple!!
Thats impossible. I cant even visit the griffin that often.
No matter how much the professor raged, Lee Han remained unshaken.
If he had really done everything the professor told him to do, Lee Han would have had to master spirit magic in his first year.
Dont make excuses! You must have some free time left. Take out your class schedule!
Lee Han took out his schedule with some skepticism.
Even Professor Bendozol probably couldnt squeeze out more time from this, but still, he was a professor.
Perhaps he could see something that Lee Han couldnt.
However, contrary to expectations, Professor Bendozol couldnt give an immediate answer and groaned while clutching his head.
Like a very complex puzzle, this class schedule didnt allow even the slightest gap.
This free time here damn it. Theres a club. Then this free time here its the griffin this free time here damn it, damn it!! Why are you taking so many classes?!
The students behind unconsciously nodded their heads. Fortunately, Lee Han didnt notice.
Whats this vegetable garden management? Is it a class?
Its not a class, its taking care of Professor Thundersteps cabin.
Then Ill do this. Go meet the unicorn during this time!
Well, that would work, but would that be alright?
From Professor Thundersteps perspective, this would be very bewildering.
A fellow professor coming to the cabin to do chores.
What! What else is the problem?!
Nothing. If you wish it, Professor, Ill yield it to you.
Whats this Visiting the Evil Beaver?
Ah. I must have written it wrong. Its going to Professor Verduss workshop to prepare materials and do preliminary work.
Is it a class?
How could this be a class?
Then Ill do this too, so go meet the unicorn during this time as well!
!
For the first time, Lee Han felt some fondness for Professor Bendozol.
He was offering to go meet Professor Verdus in his place!
If you wish it, Professor
Professor Bendozol scraped together every remaining gap in the class schedule by any means necessary.
Among them, he extracted as many replaceable chores as possible.
Wait. Was I really doing this much work?
Even Lee Han himself was surprised each time one came up.
Who knew there were so many.
Having barely secured time for the unicorn, Professor Bendozol threw the schedule away and stood up.
Now. Next is how to befriend a nightmare.
B-befriend it?
I dont want to befriend it though
Professor Bendozol ignored the students complaints with a granite-like expression.
Even with dangerous and fierce monsters, choosing only to fight recklessly is foolish! A mage must be able to judge flexibly in any situation. Learning how to befriend a monster means understanding that monster most deeply.
Indeed. It would be more helpful when hunting too.
At the White Tiger Tower students response, Professor Bendozol glared with eyes that could burn someone to death. The student covered his face with his notebook in terror.
The best way to befriend a nightmare is transformation magic. Fortunately, there are several animals this creature feels affinity for. By next class, learn how to transform into one of these animals! Even if you cant do it completely, you must at least transform an arm!
Professor. I dont major in transformation magic though?
At the students question, Professor Bendozol replied with an indifferent expression.
What do you want me to do about it? Figure it out yourself. Whether you get a potion or find a spell scroll. Thats also a mages ability!
The students, who were gradually getting a grasp of the professor, consulted among themselves instead of asking meaningless questions.
Small insect-type monsters, bird-type monsters snake-type monsters are surprisingly good too? He feels affinity for them.
I think snakes would be better than insects.
Ugh. I hate both.
A basilisk wouldnt work, would it?
Lee Han pondered along with them about which animal to transform into.
The 2nd circle magic he learned last year, Lesser Transformation, was magic that changed parts of the body.
Having mastered this magic, preparing according to Professor Bendozols requirements didnt seem too difficult.
Arm. Become the forepaw of a beast.
Since it was magic he hadnt used in a while, Lee Han cast it lightly for confirmation.
Pop!
Seeing his disciples arm transform into a basilisks head, Professor Bendozol briefly wondered if he should just let this one pass.
For the nightmares safety, that might really be necessary.
