Episode 149
“Usually, guests visiting the magic school enter through the main entrance during the day and through the spire stables after dinner.”
“indeed…”
Seeing Lee Han immediately taking notes, Professor Lightning Walk was almost confused for a moment as to whether Lee Han was from the Wardanaz family or the Thieves Guild.
“But there are more ways to get into magic school than you think. “Have you ever gone underground?”
“yes. “I was lucky.”
“It would be wise if you didn’t try again. “Because Gonadaltes is not complacent enough to leave the path once opened to new students.”
Lee Han nodded.
I knew from the moment I entered school that the skeleton principal was crazy.
“Anyway… one of those paths is here.”
The lightning-walking professor grabbed one point of the huge mountain range located behind the school and quickly drew a path.
It was a simple and rough map, but it clearly showed how to get there.
– Rockpool Underground Cave (Beware the cave owner)
“Sometimes professors use this cave to sneak out. “The underground part of the cave is connected to the outside.”
“?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
If that’s true, doesn’t it mean that you can easily come into school from outside?
‘No. ‘Does the cave owner play a role in filtering out intruders?’
If there was a place in the magic school that seemed shabby and easygoing, it meant that there was someone else in charge of managing it.
The moment you let your guard down and step in, you die!
“Who owns the cave?”
“That’s a secret.”
“……”
Lee Han gave Professor Lightning Step a sad look.
Sticks and carrots did not only work for students. It worked for the professor too.
He looked even more pitiful as he gave me a sad look with his sculptural face.
Moreover, rumors were already spreading among professors about Lee Han. Because he likes the skeleton principal, he is being bullied, no, taught…
“…I’m not trying to bother you, but I made a promise so I can’t just tell you. “Other professors who were given permission to go through the cave must have made the same promise.”
Clever and powerful monsters and spirits did not like to reveal their identity or location.
Wasn’t that also the case with the ‘Forgotten Beast Statue’ on the 3rd floor that Salko showed us around last time?
“If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do about it. “Can you at least give me some precautions?”
“It would be a good idea to search through the school and somehow bring back as many artifacts related to physical defense as possible.”
“……”
Lee Han, who was taking notes, paused.
‘Should we just drill through the steeple stables?’

Seeing the famous people of the empire gathered here today makes me be even more careful about my actions as a lowly wizard.
morning.
The skeleton headmaster floated in front of the guests who came to the magic school and greeted them politely.
Then applause poured in.
Gonadaltes was a man who could be cunning if he wanted something.
The first-year students in each tower looked at me with expressions that made them feel like they were going to throw up.
“That… such an abomination…”
“Shh. Quiet. “Do you want to go to the punishment room for speaking out loud?”
Several White Tiger Tower students gritted their teeth.
Some people may be wondering if you don’t have enough time to focus solely on magic. However, this Einroguard is not simply a place that teaches the great science of magic, but a place where students grow strong both physically and mentally to become equal parts of the empire!
‘You must be really good at budgeting.’
Lee Han was honestly a little impressed by the skeleton principal.
If you don’t know much, they say, ‘Wizards are so focused on their own magic that they don’t really care about their students, but that person is really different! I must have been deceived and thought, ‘If there are any strange rumors in the future, I will have to refute them myself!’
Therefore, this spring festival will be a good source of energy for new students.
“By the way, principal. Why do students in other grades…”
ruler. Then, I would like to give a gift to the new students here.
The skeleton principal pretended not to hear what the customer said and ignored it.
And the freshmen looked around nervously when they heard that they were giving gifts.
“Aren’t there an ambush of undead?”
“Undead attack as a gift…”
But this time it really was a gift.
We have hidden treasures all over the school, so everyone enjoy spring by looking for them.
“…really?”
“There are no traps…?”
“Is that possible?”
We’ve prepared some little pranks for you, so it’ll be even more fun when you find the treasure.
“……”
Freshmen seemed to know what little pranks were like without even asking.
Principal Skeleton smiled kindly and said as the students’ reactions were lukewarm.
Among the treasures, there is also a ticket to go out.
“!”
“Right to go out…?!”

Some students from Baldrogard were puzzled after hearing the skeleton headmaster’s words.
-Do I need a separate exit ticket? why?
“…Shall we challenge that bastard to a duel?”
“Hold on. “I’m a guest.”
Whatever the skeleton principal’s intentions were, the story of the exit ticket further raised expectations for the treasure.
The students were already anxious to move.
“let’s go!”
“Even if I’m fooled, let’s try to find it.”
“Lee Han. “Are you going too?”
“okay. me too…”
Someone placed a hand on Lee Han’s shoulder as he was about to go.
It was Professor Boladi.
“……”
“let’s go.”
“…yes.”
* * *
The professors’ event did not end in one day. It continued during this spring festival week.
In other words, Lee Han also has to attend Professor Boladi’s tent every day.
For the first time, Lee Han became resentful of the emperor whose face he did not know.
‘Just leave the professor out…’
If you ask a professor to do it, who will do it? The disciple did it.
Perhaps because of that sadness, Lee Han’s water beads became sharper and sharper. Some of the movements were worthy of praise from Professor Boladi.
“Oops!”
“Hey, there’s no need to do it like this!”
Another Baldrogard student who came to visit after hearing the rumor saw his friend bleeding from the nose and complained.
Then, the White Tiger Tower students who came first and had nosebleeds got angry instead.
“Does dodging water beads seem like a joke?!”
“We are competing with our lives! On the topic of outsiders!”
‘These kids learn bad things quickly.’
Lee Han looked at the White Tiger Tower guys as if they were pitiful.
I can’t believe they’re persecuting me like this just because I came from outside.
Of course, this wasn’t something that Lee Han, who was beating up outsiders with beads of water, would say…
“Are you okay?”
“eww. Yes.”
“sorry. He had heard so much about Baldrogard’s reputation that all he could think of was to do his best. Even so, it won’t be enough.”
“?”
Professor Boladi slightly tilted his head at Lee Han’s words.
However, Baldrogard’s students were already angry at Lee Han’s words.
“Well, if that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“Ihan of the Wardanaz family? “I’ll see you next time the third graders get together.”
“no. sleep…”
Before Lee Han could explain, Baldrogard’s students left.
‘I’m a first year student.’
As the Baldrogard students left, the White Tiger Tower student wiped away the blood from his nose and stood in front again.
“I challenge you.”
“…Why don’t you stop?”
“joy. “Am I afraid?”
The other White Tiger Tower students whispered with frightened expressions at their friend’s provocation.
“hey. Don’t provoke Wardanaz for nothing.”
“That bastard can add more water beads.”
“…Who knew you would be scared! Bonus… Ugh!”
Lee Han took advantage of the opponent’s carelessness and put a water bead into his mug.
The key to magic combat was always to attack first.
* * *
After beating people with water beads all morning and having a quick lunch, Lee Han went to see Professor Bible Verdus.
The professor, a beaver beastman, was eating tree bark and held it out.
“it’s okay. “I had a meal.”
“okay? “Then let’s get started.”
Professor Bible only made very ordinary and simple magic fireworks, perhaps because the headmaster was so stubborn.
Finish by casting <Fire Grant> or <Light Grant>.
It wasn’t that difficult of a spell, so even Lee Han got the hang of it after making a few mistakes (he burned everyone around him every time he failed).
However, Professor Bible’s face darkened and his muttering increased.
“I don’t want to make it…”
“……”
“I don’t want to make it… it’s not fun…”
‘You put pressure on me in a different way.’
If the professor didn’t talk, it was just as scary, but if the professor talked a lot, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Lee Han concentrated on getting out of this situation as much as possible.
‘Every time I fail, my time here increases.’
Swing the wand, recite the spell, and complete the magic firework.
In the uncomfortable and awkward atmosphere, Lee Han’s concentration was sharpened even more.
One of Lee Han’s strengths is his nearly infinite amount of horsepower.
Based on that amount of magical energy, Lee Han created magic fireworks without stopping.
It was a speed that was difficult for freshmen as well as bestowing wizards to follow. This was possible because there was no need for rest at all.
“It’s done. professor.”
“Not funny? really?”
Professor Bible muttered and looked up from making magic fireworks.
“yes. “It’s all over.”
Lee Han answered with a faint smile. Professor Bible blinked and checked the number of fireworks piled up. And his face lit up.
“Is this really amazing??”
If it were another professor, he would have noticed that the students created more than the professor.
No matter how much the professor grumbled about making something, the fact that a freshman started with the professor and made more was a great thing in itself.
But Professor Bible only thought that this tedious work was over.
“Great!”
“yes. professor. “Then I’ll just leave…”
“Then since we have time left, let’s make something else fun.”
“…uh. “I’m not talented at enchantment, so I’m not confident…”
“are you okay. are you okay!”
‘What makes it okay?’
* * *
The magic that Professor Bible taught was <Lesser Fire Resistance>.
This spell, which is cast on the entire thick robe, was an essential spell for beginner wizards learning various fire enchantments.
As Lee Han was very worried about fire magic, he had no choice but to admit that this magic was quite useful…
Professor Bible’s words made Lee Han feel ominous.
-Learning this magic will be helpful when practicing other enchantments in the future.
-Is that so. professor. But I’m into enchantment…
-know. know. I have no talent. But don’t worry too much. Other enchantment wizards are doing it even though they don’t have any talent.
-……
In fact, starting to make magic fireworks with the professor, making more, and somehow succeeding in the 3rd circle magic <Lesser Fire Resistance> within the given time was impossible without talent…
Professor Bible had a slightly different assessment.
If you are not better than yourself, you are not talented, and if you are better than yourself, you are talented!
Of course, from this point of view, there was no choice but to worry.
Even though I was told that I had talent, I was worried about whether I should learn it properly or not, but the professor in charge was not trustworthy and said, ‘Do it because it’s fun!’ They say things like ‘It doesn’t matter whether it works or not!’…
‘I think the speed of learning magic isn’t that bad. ‘I guess I’ll just ask Professor Garcia.’
Lee Han decided to visit the troll half-blood professor, a true teacher at this magic school and a trustworthy adult.
“Let’s give up on that.”
“You call that a horse? What if that’s a ticket to go out? “Is there any guarantee that you will find another treasure?”
“?”
Lee Han, who was walking out, was puzzled by the sight of several top students gathered in front of him and talking.
What’s going on?
“Wardanaz! Help me!”
“No Wardanaz! “That bastard will take it!”
“Take it out first and think about it!”
As the distance got closer, Lee Han immediately realized what was going on.
There was a treasure chest in front that the principal had handcrafted.
…On top of a huge, burning firewood pile that is just over a few meters high.
