Episode 015
‘But it’s difficult.’
Controlling a bead with will is usually not a difficult task.
Just like the student who got hit by the marble he was controlling earlier, the marble flew out at will even if he lost his concentration even a little.
An unfamiliar sensation, as if I had a new third arm.
The good news was that Lee Han didn’t have to worry about falling down due to lack of magical power.
In fact, even though I kept drawing circles by floating beads, I didn’t feel like my magic power was dropping at all.
“……”
Professor Boladi didn’t say anything and just stared at Lee Han.
‘Are you doing that because your magic power hasn’t decreased?’
Lee Han wondered why the professor was looking at him.
It couldn’t have been because Lee Han controlled the marble so quickly (even in Lee Han’s opinion, the circle was a bit crooked), and it might be because Lee Han controlled the marble for so long without getting tired that it was surprising.
‘no. ‘They’re just looking at me because there’s no one there.’
But Lee Han later realized that the professor was just staring at him without thinking.
If it was surprising that there was a lot of horsepower, I would have just asked a question!
Well, since there is only Lee Han in the classroom, there will be nowhere to look. Lee Han concentrated on spinning the marble regardless of whether the professor was looking at him or not.
I’m not sure what this means…
‘Let’s think that if you work hard, you will get grades.’
A magic bead that, when rolled round and round, gives you a grade.
If I thought that way, I could do anything.
Lee Han was overly accustomed to enduring unreasonable situations under the professor.
* * *
‘That’s fascinating.’
Professor Boladi was very curious.
Of course, it wasn’t revealed at all by my facial expression, but I was feeling strange for the first time in a long time.
The new student in front of me was that reason.
Every year, new students come in like a tide and disappear like an ebb in <Repetitive Learning of Basic Magic Combat>.
There were 0 people who heard it last year as well.
But Professor Boladi paid no attention.
The contract with the principal, Osu Gonadaltes, was ‘to teach a lecture on <Repetitive Learning of Basic Magic Combat> every year’, not ‘to gather a large number of students.’
In fact, even when there were no students, Professor Boladi would sit in the lecture room at a set time, put down beads, wait, and get up only after the lecture was over.
Others may not understand, but this was Professor Boladi’s principle.
Time accumulated repeatedly like that.
Breaking that repetition, an unusual new student appeared today.
A handsome boy with sculptural features and thick lines.
Just by looking at him, I could tell that he was a student at Blue Dragon Tower.
Judging by his behavior and accent, he is probably from a great imperial family.
however…
He continued to concentrate on spinning the marble without complaining.
When even the lowest-ranking Black Turtle Tower students listen to this lecture, they rush out, saying, ‘Why the f*ck are you doing this?’, but it was unusual for the Blue Dragon Tower students to calmly concentrate.
Moreover, as he continued to spin that bead, he did not show any signs of difficulty yet.
It was clear that he had an innate amount of magical power.
In fact, if Professor Boladi had been friends with other professors, and had ever talked to troll professor Garcia Kim, he would have heard at least roughly how much magical power Lee Han had.
However, Professor Boladi did not necessarily get along with other professors.
This was because there was no such content in the contract with the principal.
Therefore, Professor Boladi only guessed that Lee Han’s magical power was quite high, but did not notice exactly how much.
‘I wish I could stay.’
For the first time in his lecture, Professor Boladi wanted students to remain in their seats.
If that student continued to listen, Professor Boladi could also move on to the next content for the first time in the history of the lecture.

“I heard you found a really good course?”
Lee Han said seriously.
Usually Ihan does not show this kind of kindness, but Yoner and Gainando are somewhat of an exception.
Yoner could have become a partner later, and Gainando could have been given a friend fee by his mother later.
There was nothing bad about being nice to my good family friends.
“I don’t think any student will come to listen to this anymore. “If you listen to it, you should definitely consider A+ as a reservation.”
“…Ugh…”
Yoner’s face showed a very worried expression, asking, ‘How can I refuse Lee Han’s offer?’
It’s a lecture that no one takes, so I really want to avoid it just by hearing the name. Lee Han recommends it, so I’m sorry to decline it, but what should I do?
“…no. “If you don’t want to listen, it’s okay not to listen.”
Ihan said to Yoner.
I had no intention of forcing anyone to listen.
I just recommended it because I like the fact that I can take one subject a semester raw…
“Hmm. “Tell me more.”
In comparison, Gainando looked attractive.
“What are you teaching?”
“There is a bead artifact made by the professor. Infuse it with magic and make it float.”
“oh. And then what?”

“Let’s practice making circles by drawing them.”
“Right. After that?”
“I don’t have any.”
“……”
“……”
Yoner and Gaynando looked at Ihan in bewilderment.
“Are you… by any chance a fake professor?”
“What’s the point in knowing whether it’s fake or real? “It’s important that you give me points.”
Joner was impressed.
When she entered school, Joner thought this way.
-Am I the most practical thinker among the students here?
Since many of the Blue Dragon Tower students come from great families, there were quite a few cases where their way of thinking was blocked.
Yoner had felt this many times.
But after talking with Lee Han, I realized that the world is wide and the sky is high.
The boy from the Wardanaz family was crazy about practical skills.
Even Yoner can’t keep up!
“Well, there’s nothing I can do if you guys don’t want to hear it. Next is <Basic Swordsmanship>.”
“…Jin, are you really listening to that too??”
“Wardanaz. I really don’t think so…”
Even though his friends tried to stop him, Lee Han didn’t listen.
Unless it is a lecture that is required, I will choose it based solely on my own criteria.
Because that was the rule of this magic school, Einroguard!
‘Shouldn’t we really stop this??’
Gainando seriously wondered if he should run to the principal and get some counseling.

The basic swordsmanship lecture had far more students than the repetitive learning of basic magic combat.
Just looking at it, more than ten students were gathered in the southern front yard of the main building, waiting for the professor.
‘no. There are surprisingly many, right?’
Lee Han, who was surprised, quickly realized the reason.
The students here were students of <Tower of the White Tiger Biting the Lightning>.
White Tiger Tower students come from a family of imperial knights and come here to learn magic.
Naturally, as he came from a family of knights, he was proficient in swordsmanship and had a much more serious attitude.
Even if students from other families had learned swordsmanship, they had no intention of coming here to learn swordsmanship, but the White Tiger Tower students were the opposite.
‘Well, the repetitive learning of basic magic combat was too much.’
Lee Han was a little disappointed, but when he thought about it, it was unusual for him to take first place among others, so it wasn’t that bad.
Moreover, hasn’t Lee Han also been learning swordsmanship consistently?
“…what?”
“Aren’t you from the Blue Dragon Tower?”
Just as Lee Han was surprised, the White Tiger Tower students were also surprised and whispering.
I had no idea that other dormitory students would come.
“I know who that guy is. “You’re from the Wardanaz family.”
“Wardanaz family…! “It’s a famous magic house of the empire, right?”
“But why does someone from such a family take this lecture?”
“Didn’t you come here because you learned a little bit of swordsmanship from your family’s tutor?”
“There is a degree of belittling swordsmanship.”
Most students expressed strong resistance.
Although there were individual differences, White Tiger Tower students were basically people who took pride in their swordsmanship and practiced it seriously.
In comparison, learning swordsmanship from other aristocratic families is merely for self-defense and for culture purposes, and only scratches the surface.
Coming to the lecture with that feeling, I couldn’t help but feel rejected.
Lee Han also noticed those reactions.
‘What do you know?’
And of course I didn’t care.
At most, Lee Han was not stupid enough to get caught up in the childish fighting between teenagers and react to them one by one.
“hey.”
As Lee Han ignored the reactions, one of the students eventually came forward.
A well-trained physique befitting someone from a knightly family.
In addition, when the Orc race’s unique muscles were combined, intimidating lines were revealed even on the shabby tattered school uniform.
The other person stood in front of Lee Han and looked straight up.
Lee Han also looked at me as if asking me what to do.
It was a rather scary-looking orc, but Lee Han was too experienced to be scared by something like this.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“okay. From the Wardanaz family, belonging to the Blue Dragon Tower. Am I right?”
“That’s right.”
“I guess I misunderstood, but this is a serious swordsmanship class. “This is not a lecture that teaches you how to wield something that looks good on the outside.”
“Right. thanks for letting me know.”
“……”
When Lee Han ignored him even though he said it kindly, the orc’s frown frowned.
“I guess you didn’t quite understand, but a real swordsmanship lesson is not just sword swings taught by high-ranking nobles like you. You’ll be splitting up and sparring with each other, but if you do something wrong, you could get seriously hurt. “The other students here won’t show their hands.”
“okay. If I have to deal with you, I’ll be careful not to hurt you. “If you’re that worried.”
“……”
The Orc was a beat late in understanding Lee Han’s words. The orc’s face turned red as he belatedly understood Lee Han’s words.
At that time, a small coughing sound was heard.
The professor who will teach the lecture has arrived.
“ruler. Everyone. “I’d like you to gather together?”
The professor’s voice was soft and kind, but his appearance was the exact opposite.
Despite being an elf race that is basically born with beauty, the professor’s appearance created an intimidating feeling.
It was an intimidating feeling created by the scars and scars that covered the entire body, starting from the face.
One arm and one leg were prosthetic, and one eye looked different in size from the next eye due to a scar.
“I am Professor Ingalldell. “I will be teaching you swordsmanship during this semester.”
The elf professor continued speaking while holding his long sword like a cane.
“Probably everyone who wants to learn swordsmanship again at Einroguard has experience learning swordsmanship. “You are probably here to develop your skills or prevent them from rusting.”
Lee Han was slightly stung. Of course, that wasn’t a bad thing, but it was more about the grades.
“So I’m not going to teach you swordsmanship from scratch. “It would be better for each of us to hone the swordsmanship we have learned.”
The students from the knight family listened intently to the elf professor’s words with shining eyes.
Apparently, these students were still unfamiliar with magic.
To such students, stories of swordsmanship were bound to sound much more plausible than stories of magic.
Knock knock-
“?”
Lee Han turned his head. Someone was tapping Lee Han’s arm.
Although they were of the same elf race as Professor Ingalldel, their image was completely opposite.
The other person had golden hair that was short enough to reach the nape of her neck, and had a beautiful androgynous appearance with thin lines.
‘You look popular with women.’
“What’s going on?”
“From the Wardanaz family. Right? “I’m from the Wardanaz family, so I’m curious as to why you want to learn swordsmanship.”
The other person spoke cheerfully but not frivolously.
Unlike the student who was arguing with me earlier, I felt that he was good at dealing with people.
“It seemed good to get points because there were few people listening.”
“……”
