Episode 147
Lee Han’s face hardened.
He immediately guessed the identity of the thief.
‘Anti-magicians!’
Just like the guys who attacked Professor Garcia last time, it was clear that they had used this spring festival as an opportunity to break into the school.
“be careful. Yoner! “He’s anti-magic!”
“Uh… huh?”
Yoner was equally nervous, but stopped when he heard Lee Han’s words.
It was a little strange since the thief in front of me was said to be anti-magic.
Usually, anti-magicists were noisy and disruptive people.
Because I had my own beliefs and pride, I didn’t act like a thief and sneak in at night.
‘Are they hired thieves?’
“Get out of the way, kids! “If you don’t want to get hurt!”
The thief in front of him must have realized that Ihan and Yoner were new students, so he pulled out his shortsword and tried to threaten them fiercely.
However, before the thief could even draw his short sword, Lee Han’s spell was completed.
“Blink!”
Lightning exploded with a fierce shout.
It was faster than the thief expected.
“What… Wow!!”
* * *
In fact, not all intruders entering the magic school were anti-magic.
Rather, anti-magicists were among the most difficult intruders to enter the magic school.
Since they are likely to cause serious trouble once they enter the school, the magic school manages them as strictly as possible.
Surprisingly, the most common types of intruders entering the magic school were mercenaries or adventurers.
The Empire’s Magic School is not just a place for education, but a place where the most outstanding wizards in the Empire gather to study magic.
The value of the things studied there, no matter how insignificant or failed, increases tens or hundreds of times when taken out.
Among external wizards, there were many who would pay thousands of dollars to buy them as soon as they heard that they were being studied at magic schools.
The thief who came in today was just such a case.
-They say that thanks to the Spring Festival, Einrogard is accepting outsiders.
-no way?
-okay. Let’s go in, grab something worth money, and come out.
-But… it’s scary to get involved with high-ranking wizards…
-Of course, I know that there are many monsters among wizards. But there aren’t that many of them. Would such people go out of their way to sneak in among the customers and steal something? You won’t even care. How many people are there? Just don’t get caught. Although I get caught.
-Mmm! surely…
-No one will follow you when it comes to tearing down a enchanted building. Who was that mercenary wizard last time? I took the magic the gentleman had cast and went in.
-That’s right.
I must have some experience dealing with wizards, and I must also be greedy.
That’s how the thief forged his identity and entered Einrogard.
It wasn’t that difficult to get into the magic school because of the spring festival. As long as there was a suitable justification, it could be passed.
however…
-Wasn’t this the main building??
-There must be a main building, right?
The thieves looked down on the magic school too much.
The 1st and 2nd circle mercenary wizards you usually meet outside and the magic school wizards were on a different level.
The underprepared thieves were unable to find the right location due to the magic school’s defensive and illusion magic.
The thieves who kept wandering around like that barely managed to find a building.
-I found it… I found it!
-It’s a stable…?
-It’s the magic school’s stable! There will be a lot of rare ones!
-Yeah, that’s right!
The thieves found a stable located in a remote area and hurriedly opened the door and went inside.
However, all that was visible inside the stable were ordinary horses.
– Damn it! There are nothing but words!
-Should I take the horse out?
-What nonsense… Do you think you came here to pick up a horse? And how are you going to get the horse out? It’s hard to take it out unless it’s a small one!
There was a griffon in front of them, but unfortunately the thieves didn’t notice it.
Sadly, the thieves’ misadventures did not end there.
As he opened the stable door and came out, he even ran into a new student.
“……”
“…Not Ratford…! Yoner! “He’s a thief!”
The thief was very embarrassed when he saw the screaming student, but soon regained his composure.
There was no one around and the other person looked like a freshman. That was enough to subdue him and escape.
“be careful. Yoner! “He’s anti-magic!”
“!?”
The thief was embarrassed by the absurd misunderstanding.
You’re anti-magic.
It was a ridiculous misunderstanding.
I just came here to make some money…

‘Damn it, this is not the time!’
The thief realized that he couldn’t waste time. Someone else could have heard the noise and come.
“Get out of the way, kids! “If you don’t want to get hurt!”
The thief tried to pull out a sharpened short sword.
Of course, I had no intention of really hurting the students.
Stealing one or two items from a magic school and hurting a student are two completely different things.
I came here hoping to make some money, but ended up being chased for the rest of my life by the monsters at the magic school.
…But the thief didn’t know.
That the new student in front of him was also one of the formidable monsters of the magic school.
“Blink!”
The pain of tensing muscles, accompanied by a flash of lightning, burned the thief’s brain.
‘Kuh…?!’
Aside from the pain, the thief couldn’t understand the current situation.
Having dealt with wizards outside a few times, the thief knew how long it took them to memorize spells and cast magic.
In fact, magic was surprisingly a difficult skill to use in battle.
While chanting long spells and swinging the wand, you must remain focused and not waver at all.
There weren’t many people who could do that in a battlefield where deadly shouts erupted and weapons flew.
Moreover, the opponent was a freshman.
It takes a lot of time for even mercenary wizards to memorize spells without making mistakes, but if you’re a kid from a magic school who just learned magic, it’s definitely going to take more…?
“Khaaaaaak!”
“Flash, flash, flash!”
‘stop!!’
The thief was convulsing on the floor and shouting inwardly.
My throat became mute because of the electric shock. If I hadn’t been wearing magic-resistant armor, I would have fainted long ago.
In his pain, the thief realized that he had underestimated the magic school too much.
‘It’s no joke…!’
I didn’t know what kind of teachings they were receiving, but the new students at the magic school were on a different level.
The thief vowed that if he were to get out alive, he would avoid wizards from magic school even if they only saw their shadows.
‘Help me, you bastard…’
The thief thought to himself when he saw his companion still in the stable.
A colleague who came in with him was frozen by the one-sided violence taking place outside the stable and did not dare to come out.
I understood my feelings, but in a situation where I was being struck by lightning, I started swearing.
‘Help… Go…! If I’m overpowered… it’s your turn next…!’
Meanwhile, Lee Han flew lightning and made water beads float.
Although he was lucky to have the upper hand, Lee Han never let down his guard.
If you’re an anti-magic person, that could have been a trick.
“Yoner. stand back.”
“Uh… huh? “It looks like you’ve been subdued?”
Although Yoner was not a combat expert, he could tell that his opponent was foaming at the mouth.
“no. “It could be a trick from anti-magicists.”
“Well… really?”
For now, Yoner took a step back as Lee Han said.
It seemed like the other person was foaming at the mouth, but Lee Han wasn’t the type of person to say something wrong in this area…
Whoosh!
A bead of water flew out and struck the fallen thief. It was fortunate that the thief was unconscious.
“…It looks like he was knocked down.”
‘Actually, I think I collapsed earlier.’
Lee Han did not let down his guard even when his opponent fell.
I cast various magic and made more water beads float.
Anti-magic people usually don’t go around alone. It wasn’t strange to see his colleague nearby.
“Light!”
Lee Han shot a huge sphere of light into the sky.
If it were a sphere of light this bright, other professors would come running.
“The professors will be here soon. “You just have to hold on until then.”
“huh…”
Yoner glanced at the fallen thief.
Looking at the level of the fallen thief, it was a bit confusing who should hold out until the professor came…
Sigh-
“!”
Lee Han looked away. The door slowly opened inside the stable with a creaking sound.
Lee Han aimed his cane.
I planned to unleash all the magic I had prepared the moment the enemy appeared.
“Please… help me!”
However, what came out was a thief covered in tears and snot.
The thief was completely frightened after seeing his colleague being hit by magic inside the stable. He raised his arms and cried earnestly.
“I am not anti-magic! I am not anti-magic!! “Please just spare my life…”
“Blink!”
“Kaaak!”
Lee Han waved his cane without mercy. The thief struck by lightning fell forward.
Lee Han saw that and muttered softly.
“Hmm… maybe I’m not really anti-magic.”
“……”
‘I’m really glad we’re top friends.’
* * *
The first to fly was the skeleton principal.
One of Rich’s strengths was that he never slept at night. Principal Skeleton, who heard the commotion, ran excitedly, wondering if someone had tried to escape.
What… he’s a thief.
As soon as the skeleton principal arrived, he spoke with disappointed eyes.
Lee Han asked in a surprised voice.
“Aren’t they anti-magicists?”
Did you think it was them? They don’t get in that easily. And it’s not that weak.
The skeleton headmaster glanced at the thieves as he spoke.
Although they said they were weak, the thieves’ equipment was quite advanced. There were traces of preparations made for the great wizard.
It was clear that he had probably had experience entering other wizards’ workshops or strongholds.
It was that experience and arrogance that led to this upset, but…
Even from the perspective of the skeleton principal, Lee Han really defeated the thieves. They thought it was probably anti-magic people in disguise, so they kept fanning it out.
‘I got hit harder because of the anti-magic people.’
“So you just came in to steal?”
In fact, there are more people like that. There are so many valuable things in this school, there’s no way there wouldn’t be a thief like that.
“But is it okay to hold a festival like this?”
Principal Skeleton snorted at Lee Han’s question.
It would hurt my pride as a wizard to not be able to hold a festival because I am afraid of thieves.
“indeed…”
It made sense.
It would be ridiculous if the best magic school in the empire was careful about its actions out of fear of mere thieves.
And sometimes, if you make an excuse about a thief, you can squeeze more out of your budget…
“……”
“……”
Ihan and Joner pretended not to hear.
I never thought I’d hear the secret story behind the operation of a magic school here…
Well done anyway. How can you catch thieves like this? I’ll take care of these thieves.
“So, can I get a ticket to go out as a reward?”
By catching these bastards who aren’t even anti-magic? Do you, a non-lich, have no conscience?
“……”
I’ll think about it when I catch someone more worthy.
“Anyway, you caught the thief like this, but you didn’t give me any compensation.”
Yoner argued as if it was nonsense.
Unlike Ihan, Yoner still had very little faith and expectation left in the skeleton headmaster.
That’s also true. good night! I’ll think of something suitable.
As the skeleton principal spoke calmly, Lee Han became anxious for no reason.
Why am I so anxious when I am receiving a deserved reward?
really. Since that thief isn’t the only one who came in, I’ll have to have students stand guard as well.
The skeleton principal said as if he had a good idea.
Lee Han did not understand.
“Aren’t there the principal’s summoned beasts?”
Oh my. But the undead also need to rest.
