Episode 121
The talking book also belatedly made an excuse, perhaps realizing what its words meant.
“Of course, I didn’t mean to keep getting hurt. “I just meant to come visit often.”
“ah. okay.”
Lee Han relieved his discomfort and opened his pocket.
It contained things that looked like pieces of hard rock.
“It’s a griffon’s gallstone.”
“oh…!”
Lee Han thought about the books he had read in his head.
According to what I read in the alchemy book, the Gryphon’s gallstones must be…?
“Is there a strong effect on restoring magic power?”
“yes. “You know me well.”
Lee Han became sullen.
‘It’s not very useful.’
I had already experienced first-hand in Professor Thunderstruck’s class that magic power recovery potions had little effect.
It might be a magic power reduction potion, but the magic recovery effect is…
The talking book was taken aback by Lee Han’s reaction.
If you didn’t know what this was, you wouldn’t know. Even if you knew, it didn’t make sense to react like that.
Unless you are raising a griffon yourself…
“Is it precious? “It’s a real gryphon gallstone.”
“thank you. But I’ve never been short of magical power…”
“oh.”
Only then did the talking book understand Lee Han’s reaction.
Come to think of it, if the new student had that much magical power, he would never have felt a lack of magical energy.
“Hmm… Among the demons I know, there are a few that have the ability to absorb magical energy. “I can’t introduce you because it’s dangerous.”
“I will accept your heart.”
Lee Han quietly took a step back and said.
As expected, since he was a demon summoned by the skull principal, there seemed to be no good thing about being so close to him.
“You should come visit often! “Let’s talk about Gonadaltes together!”
The talking book waved the pages to see Lee Han off without knowing his true feelings.
Durgyu said with admiration.
“Even though you are a demon who was summoned and captured by the principal, he treats you kindly. Lee Han. “It is clear that he recognized your abilities.”
Even the devil likes talented people.
So it was clear that he was being kind to Lee Han.
“I think it’s a little different than that…”
But in Lee Han’s opinion, the conversation just now was far from that.
That…
‘I guess there’s no one to criticize the skeleton principal.’
Who would criticize the skeleton principal?
There were fewer opponents who could do that than I thought.
Thinking like that, Lee Han suddenly felt a little sorry for the talking book.
I somehow got involved with the skeleton principal!

<Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic>.
Just as mathematics is the foundation of all studies, this lecture was also very important.
As the level of magic increases, from calculating magic power to creating magic circles to developing new magic, it becomes less possible to solve problems with intuition and senses alone.
As such, students knew the importance of this lecture and had to study hard…
‘Did you cast a sleep spell?’
Lee Han looked around.
The students had already been wiped out. Guy Nando was snoring softly, even his snoring.
The only survivors were Asan (Asan was also poking the back of his hand with a quill), Adenart (although his expression was expressionless, Lee Han witnessed the princess cast a spell to keep him from sleeping), and Yoner.
Lee Han took out coffee.
When I handed the coffee to Yoner, Yoner took it and sipped it with great care, like the first coffee given to someone who had been shipwrecked in the snowy mountains for several months after being rescued.
“I’m so sleepy…”
Lee Han nodded.
Perhaps due to my mood, the air in the classroom seemed to become thinner.
After finishing his scribbling by drawing a water bottle on the shape, Joner turned his head to change his mood.
Somehow, Lee Han seemed to be even more upright than usual.
‘You must have stayed up all night?’
“Not sleepy?”
“You can’t… sleep in a sacred lecture. “Yoner.”
“????”
Joner was taken aback when his friend suddenly said something strange.
what’s the matter?
‘It has to look good.’
Lee Han widened his eyes.
To be honest, the professor’s voice made even Lee Han, who has an iron will, feel sleepy.
A voice with a unique rhythm makes people sleepy, as if hypnotizing them.

If I didn’t know the professor’s identity, I would have suspected him to be an expert in mental magic.
Alpen Knighton.
He is a professor in charge of <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> and was originally a senior imperial administrator.
An imperial dignitary who incurred various resentments by attempting to cut into the research budgets of numerous wizards!
He swung his sword so hard that the professors at the magic school still held a grudge against him.
But Lee Han was different.
‘It has to look good…!’
Isn’t a high-ranking imperial administrator one of the few official positions within the empire?
There was no way the person sitting in that position would not have connections.
What if you look good to a professor like that?
– Wardanaz County. Talents like you are what the empire needs. When you graduate, come to the Empire! I would recommend it.
-thank you. professor!
Rather than a relationship between priests that builds love and hatred for each other in the workshop, this kind of relationship between priests where they give a neat recommendation and do not meet again after that is what Lee Han thinks is a true priest relationship.
To do that, he had to impress Professor Alpen Knighton.
‘But it seems like you really don’t care about the students.’
Lee Han was worried.
Professor Alpen Knighton was typically close to ‘I’ll go my own way, so you guys can follow along.’
Whether students follow the lecture or not, they do their job.
Since he was probably very satisfied with himself, he was the more picky type.
‘Similar to Professor Boladi, but picky in a different way.’
Professor Boladi was not without interest in his students.
Rather, the problem was that there was too much interest.
It was also true that he waited for the students to follow him.
Although I waited too far…
“What are you worrying about?”
“I was thinking about how to get the professor’s attention.”
“…isn’t that enough??”
Yoner asked in a confused voice. Lee Han looked puzzled and asked.
“What is enough?”
“There’s nothing wrong with getting attention from professors, but I think it’ll be hard for you if you get too much…”
Yoner advised cautiously.
Before entering school, I never dreamed that I would be giving this kind of advice to my friends.
Don’t get too much attention from professors. What kind of advice is that?
But now, looking at this boy from the Wardanaz family, I couldn’t help but give him this advice.
I’m seriously worried!
“are you okay. Joner. To this extent. And Professor Alpen Knighton is different from other professors.”
“Ugh… if it’s okay with you, I won’t stop you, but…”
Yoner was somehow ominous.
Why does it feel like my friend is digging his own grave?
“…So far. Remember this equation. “You will definitely need it when calculating horsepower.”
Meanwhile, Professor Alpen finished his lecture.
Gainando, who had heard ‘Up to this point’ in his sleep, raised his head in shock.
“it’s over? it’s over??”
“Then, let’s take a simple test now.”
“…It’s over…”
Gainando grabbed his head as he realized that it had ended in a different way.
Looking around, I saw that all the students who had collapsed just before had come to their senses and were in despair.
“You’re lucky.”
“How lucky?!”
Gai Nando was startled by Lee Han’s muttering.
Did my friend go crazy while I wasn’t seeing him?
Lee Han ignored Gai Nan Dao and thought.
‘I will definitely catch Professor Knighton’s attention in this paper test.’
I don’t know anything else, but I couldn’t be defeated by the freshmen in this classroom in math.
I will definitely show you something!
Paralarak-!
A distance was created between the students who were stuck together, and test papers began to appear in front of them.
Lee Han lightly tapped the side.
A transparent curtain called by Professor Alpen was blocking the space. As I looked away, my vision became blurry.
‘Cunning will be difficult if you don’t have magic.’
After entering the magic school, it seemed like once I witnessed magic, I began to think about ways to overcome it.
While Lee Han was thinking, the professor’s voice sounded in his ears.
“If you solve everything first, you can submit it and leave.”
‘I guess so.’
“If you don’t solve everything, you can’t get out.”
“…?”
It was added so naturally that Lee Han almost overlooked it for a moment.
But when I heard it, something was strange.
‘If I can’t solve everything, I can’t leave?’
It felt a bit strange to say something so obvious like that.
Someone raised their hand and asked if Lee Han was the only student who thought that way.
“professor. “You mean I can’t leave until I fill in all the blanks?”
“That’s right.”
“phew.”
The students were relieved. Until the professor’s next words fell out.
“…Correct answer.”
“Uh… what happens if it’s not the correct answer?”
“I’ll have to solve it until I fill it with the correct answer.”
Professor Alpen looked at the student bluntly as if asking a trivial question.
Only then did the students’ faces turn pale as they realized the situation.
‘You can’t leave until you get everything right??’
‘Now… uh…’
The students instinctively turned their heads and looked out the window.
After this lecture, I was planning to enjoy the rest of the afternoon and dinner, but suddenly the story changed.
I didn’t know exactly how long Professor Alpen would detain them, but…
‘Surely they’ll keep us locked up all night?’
‘You still don’t know this school?’
‘You’re not going to lock me up until tomorrow, right…?’
Sasasak!
Lee Han started playing with his quill like crazy.
Now it wasn’t a question of whether or not I could get the professor’s attention.
It was a question of whether or not I could leave the classroom.
* * *
‘I roughly solved everything…’
Lee Han was lost in thought as he looked at the circles engraved on the test paper.
It was a enchanted test paper, so a circle was engraved on each correct answer.
But the last problem was holding Lee Han back.
One day, Gonadaltes received 3,892 imperial gold coins from the emperor to build the Imperial Vilteron Ballroom. The magic used in the Vilteron Ballroom at this time is as follows…
(syncopation)
…When these magics and reagents are used, how much imperial gold is left to Gonadaltes?
‘No matter how much you think about it, 720 is correct.’
Lee Han did not understand.
Check the magic circle several times, check the amount of reagents required for the magic circle, and check the labor costs required to create it…
Even after doing the calculations, the answer did not change.
Why?
Looking around, some of his friends must have caught up with Lee Han too late, and they had put down their quills and were staring intently at the last question.
We all got stuck on the last problem.
‘Instead of solving the problem with the information given, should I have known something in the first place? ‘Is this a problem that can be solved with a different idea?’
Lee Han thought about it.
Gonadaltes is the castle of the skeleton headmaster.
If the headmaster had received the gold coins, would he have kept them and returned them to the emperor?
‘I don’t think so.’
Lee Han, who was lost in thought, wrote ‘0’ on the answer sheet without thinking.
There was no penalty even if I was wrong, so I thought I would give it a try.
Sigh-
However, the test paper was circled. Lee Han was astonished.
‘What is this…??’
Professor Alpen also looked away, probably realizing that Lee Han had solved everything.
“It’s faster than I thought. Well done. “Perfect marks, Mr. Wardanaz.”
Although he received the praise he wanted, Lee Han was not happy. Rather, it was confusing.
“Gyo… Professor.”
“Why but?”
“Can I ask you about the last question?”
“ah.”
Professor Alpen said with a slight smile on his stern face.
“It must have been fun. “I wanted to bring laughter to students who were tired of exams.”
“…oh…”
Lee Han wondered whether he should revise his plan to impress others.
