Episode 129
After finishing what he had to say, the skeleton principal disappeared into the dawn and the students breathed a sigh of relief.
“for a moment. Aren’t you going to pretend to disappear, cast an invisibility spell, and then hide nearby?”
“It could be hiding nearby! “Just in case, throw a rock!”
‘The magic school is ruining the empire’s talented people.’
Lee Han looked sadly at his friends who had begun to fall into conspiracy theories.
“Anyway, it’s a pity. “There are captured students in the Phoenix Tower…”
The Blue Dragon Tower students got a perfect score because not a single one was captured or taken away, but the Phoenix Tower was not.
There were several priests who were captured while escaping, so they had no choice but to lose points.
“It’s okay because the teachings are important, not the scores.”
Priest Tigiling spoke in a reverential manner. Lee Han was astonished at that sight.
‘Isn’t the score important?’
In the end, what remains as a record is the score.
And teaching is as important as teaching. What kind of teaching is important in a lecture like this?
Only crumbs of teachings remained, such as ‘Don’t hang out with lichs’, ‘Don’t trust people carelessly’, and ‘Beware of the undead when you sleep at night’.
“Uh… right. “Teaching is important.”
Tijeeling was puzzled when Lee Han’s answer came strangely late.
Why are you replying late?
“really. Come to think of it, priests are visiting the school this weekend.”
“!”
Lee Han’s face brightened.
When priests from the Imperial Church came to school, they did not stop at simply distributing food and drinks.
Above all, the skeleton principal’s teachings… no, the skeleton principal’s difficult teachings are slightly reduced.
The consciences of the empire improve schools!
‘Maybe I can take it easy this weekend.’
Moreover, Lee Han is a person who has decided to join not only the Pricinga Church but also all the churches he can join.
Since the priests came to visit this weekend, I was planning to visit in person and find a new denomination.
Considering that…
‘Why doesn’t the Wardanaz family provide the support that other noble families do?’
Lee Han complained inwardly.
Look at Yoner’s family, the Makin family!
Didn’t the family lineage benefit from the generous support of the Flemain Church?
Even if I don’t believe in it, can I support it?
‘There’s no point in complaining. ‘I make my own path.’
Even if his family does not help him, Lee Han just follows his own path.
Lee Han looked at the Tigiling priest.
Priest Tigiling was slightly nervous at the charismatic gaze.
“Is there anything you want to say…?”
“Priest Tigiling. “You’ve become so skinny that I haven’t seen you before.”
“……”
Isn’t it?
“It’s not even been a day, but there’s no way I’m skinny…”
“Since I’m at the Blue Dragon Tower, I need to eat something more.”
“……”
Thanks to Lee Han, who called him out periodically and fed him by saying, ‘I brought you some tea with meat broth in a pot,’ Tijeeling had no nutritional problems.
And no matter how much you can’t eat, there’s no way you’ll dry up even if it’s only been a day since you met.
“ruler. “Go sit down.”
“It is a sin for a priest serving Mr. Pricinga to eat a luxurious meal…”
“Right. But if you don’t eat, I will starve with you.”
“?!”
Gainando, who was clearing the barricade next to him, suddenly looked at Lee Han with shocked eyes at the sparks that flew out.
Why me?!
“Priest…! “I get hungry even if I miss just one meal…!”
“……”
Tijeeling had no choice but to sit quietly on the chair. Lee Han nodded with a grim expression like her skeleton principal.
“I guess we should seat the other priests as well.”
“But most of the priests in the tower are frugal and would consider eating like this a sin.”
The Tigiling priest spoke in a slightly sulky voice.
“Aren’t you doing this because the Tigiling priest… threatened you with Gainando?”
“no.”
I said no, but it didn’t really seem like it wasn’t true. Gainando said as if he didn’t understand.
“But the meals we eat are really frugal…”
“……”
“……”
Blue Dragon Tower students passing by looked at Gai Nando as if he was crazy.
Has this kid already forgotten how to eat frugally?
“I guess everyone might find a meal like this burdensome.”
Lee Han nodded.

Of course, Lee Han didn’t do this because he had leftover ingredients.
White Tiger Top and I have already crossed the river of no return.
Although his relationship with the Black Turtle Tower students was relatively amicable, there were times when he misunderstood Lee Han due to unfounded rumors spread by the White Tiger Tower students.
However, the priests of the Phoenix Tower were not wise and good.
They will not be deceived by false rumors and will believe Lee Han.
And above all, if you receive a generous meal, won’t you also pass on good words to the priests who will visit you on the weekend?
Whether the Phoenix Tower students liked it or not, they had to eat. Lee Han’s eyes shone with ruthless will.
“Gainando. Follow me. “I need you to help me convince him.”
“??”
“……”
Gaynando did not understand why Ihan was calling, but the Tigiling priest noticed and was astonished.
* * *
Lee Han took out the food he had piled up in the pantry.
Warm white bread spread with butter was served on the table along with honey and sweet tree sap for dipping. Whole roasted, salted, or smoked pork and beef were also placed next to them. Canned fish were also sliced thinly on the plate.
I also took out a jar of fresh milk that I had stolen, or rather borrowed, from Professor Thunderwalk’s cabin.
After removing the jam from a glass jar containing various fruit jams, I added it to cold milk and stirred it to make a drink. It was a rare sweet drink that was difficult to drink at school.
“There was something like this?!”
“Don’t ask me to do something because I usually don’t do it even if I ask.”
‘How did know?!’
First, Lee Han hit Gainando on the back of his hand as he tried to eat one and made him step back, then checked the soup.
The scent of rich, boiling soup made the Blue Dragon Tower students happy.
“Sharkhan.”
Lee Han threw a piece of meat to Sharkan. Gainando looked at him with envious eyes and then lowered his eyes when Sharkan purred and glared at him.
“It’s almost done. “Tell everyone to sit down.”
Lee Han also used the juice that came out while cooking the meat sparingly. I added the vegetables I was growing myself, stir-fried them, and then mixed the flour to make the sauce.
‘It’s okay.’
After tasting it, Lee Han was impressed by his own talent. I can’t believe you can use the juice that comes out while cooking meat so well.
This will definitely go well with fresh vegetables from the garden…
‘…I need to stop thinking about it.’
Strangely, my magic skills didn’t seem to be improving that quickly, but my cooking skills seemed to be improving day by day.
Yoner, who was helping with the preparations with other friends, looked puzzled as he saw the carrot cupcakes and pumpkin cookies baking next to him.
“Where did you get this?”
“I made it with things I brought from the garden.”
“……”
“…This is not a particularly specialized or difficult dish. Joner. “It’s an easier dish to cook than you think.”
‘I didn’t say anything…’
Yoner was taken aback by Lee Han’s sudden excuse.
“got it?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
I’m not sure what he meant, but Yoner nodded, pushed by Ihan’s force.
I don’t know why, but it seemed like Lee Han wanted to claim that he wasn’t serious about cooking.
…In Yoner’s opinion, that was very sincere, but…
* * *
Although they sat down because of threats, the young priests who had fought all night were moved when they ate a hot meal.
Lee Han felt proud when he saw the student stuffing his food so hard that his cheeks burst.
‘No. It was Gainando.’
When I looked closely, I saw that it was not a Phoenix Tower student, but Gai Nando.
Fortunately, Phoenix Tower students were also enjoying their meal.
There was no sound of words, only the busy clatter of plates and bowls.
“thank you. Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
In his heart, he was saying that he was looking forward to the weekend, but Lee Han didn’t show it at all.
Instead, he nodded with the dignity of a noble. The young priests were deeply impressed by that attitude.
“I heard that a priest from the church will visit the school on the weekend, and I really want to tell you what Lee Han of the Wardanaz family said.”
“Right. “If you do, I won’t stop you.”
“but…”
“?”
Lee Han was taken aback when the other person hesitated.
Why?
‘Could it be that the Wardanaz family has been blacklisted??’
Considering what the matriarch had said about the Imperial Churches, it was no wonder that the Churches hated the Wardanaz family.
“Then the priest would like to meet Ihan of the Wardanaz family in person and express his gratitude… I think he is already too busy. Resting on the weekends…”
“I’m not busy at all. “Rather, my concern is that I’m too free every weekend.”
“Is that so?”
The young priests of the Phoenix Tower were taken aback by Lee Han’s words.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like an extremely busy person…
Seeing him speak so seriously with that face, it didn’t seem like he was lying or joking.
‘is it?’
‘You must really say that.’

“Dark magic?”
In response to Professor Garcia’s question, Lee Han raised his hand.
“Summoning magic?”
Lee Han also raised his hand for the next question.
“Illusion magic?”
Lee Han raised his hand again.
Then I made eye contact with the Phoenix Tower students sitting next to me.
“…I’m not busy at all. Do you understand?”
“Bah… I guess you’re busy.”
“Lee Han… you’re busy… you need to slow down a bit.”
Not only the Phoenix Tower students but also the Blue Dragon Tower friends looked shocked.
Before giving the written test, Professor Garcia divided students into test takers according to their areas of interest.
And Lee Han entered all fields.
No matter how I looked at it, this wasn’t it.
‘Isn’t that why you’re going to fall down?’
“Even in my opinion, you are too harsh. Wodanaz.”
“It seems a bit…”
Even students from Black Turtle Tower and White Tiger Tower joined in.
However, Lee Han did not waver at all.
“I still have some free time.”
“I think we need to reduce the number of students like this…”
Professor Garcia said in a worried voice as he walked over.
As the old saying goes, the bird that sings the most beautiful song dies the fastest, so a genius with outstanding talent had to be careful not to be swallowed up by that talent.
“I’m giving advice based on my own experience. Student Lee Han. Exploring all fields of magic is the natural destiny of an ambitious young wizard with talent and aspirations…”
‘Every word in the sentence seems to be the opposite of me.’
“It’s really hard.”
“Professor, did you learn various magic together like Lee Han?”
“There was a time like that.”
“Then wouldn’t Lee Han be able to do it too?”
“Uh… I guess so…”
Professor Garcia was speechless at Guyando’s off-guard remark.
what?
is it?
When I thought about the difficult path I had walked, I thought I should stop the student from walking down that path…
When I thought about it, I wondered if Professor Garcia had the right to do that.
Especially if you are a magician with a natural talent like Lee Han.
“Hmm… But back then, there was no one like Professor Bagrek… No, it’s nothing.”
Professor Garcia stopped quickly because he couldn’t gossip about another professor to his students.
But Lee Han immediately understood what Professor Garcia was trying to say.
“Well, this student is better than me, so it might be okay. is it so. “I won’t say anything more.”
Professor Garcia clenched his fist and shook it as if to encourage me, and then walked away.
Seeing this, Lee Han suddenly felt anxious for no reason, as if he had missed the last opportunity.
