Episode 159
Ogonin realized that the other student had a strange misunderstanding and urgently shouted.
“…I am not a professor!”
“?!”
Only after receiving the suspicious look from Lee Han did Ogonin realize what he had said.
If he were a professional thief, he would have been careful with his every word, but Ogonin is an amateur thief.
As a wizard, he had a high reputation in the empire, but as a thief, this was his first time.
That experience led to this mistake.
“No… that’s…!”
“How dare you cheat!”
“I didn’t use any tricks…?! “Ugh!”
Ogonin could no longer persuade or make excuses.
The opposing student’s attack began.
‘What… what… what on earth?!’
When the student summoned more than a dozen water beads, Ogonin was shocked, but did not think he could stop it.
Ogonin’s specialty was not magic combat, but given how much experience he had as a wizard, how could he not have experienced magic combat?
I have dealt with elemental magic of that level.
It may feel daunting because there are so many, but all you have to do is block the front.
If you block well once, you can then subdue your opponent with illusion magic again…
…Should I?!
Easy profit!
Ogonin was once again taken aback as the water beads all flew in at unexpected speeds, following random, irregular orbits.
‘What the hell! ‘What the hell!’
Ogonin leapt to the side.
I never thought I would be this childish and avoid attacks after reaching this age.
“Land, help me!”
The dirt suddenly slid, pushing the Ogonin away and simultaneously lifting up to swallow up the water beads.
Lee Han did not try to get out of control for no reason.
If you want to swallow it, swallow it.
because…
Just call out more!
“Spring up!”
“!!!”
Ogonin felt like he was in a nightmare, seeing the student preparing for the next attack without even a moment of rest even after being called out just now.
An illusion wizard falling into a nightmare?
‘Is this a trap prepared by Gonadaltes!?’
To my horror, this thought occurred to me.
“Yuan Shao, go back to the way you were!”
Ogonin countered the flying water beads with element release. Water beads scattered in the air.
However, the other party paid no heed and called him out again.
Ogonin realized.
‘If it’s a war of attrition, we won’t be able to win!’
Perhaps it was his pride as an imperial wizard, but at this point Ogonin also became cold-hearted.
You only feel embarrassed if you are embarrassed once, but if you suffer embarrassment several times in a row, you will slowly come to your senses.
‘I don’t know what the student is doing…!’
We must subdue it somehow and run away!
“Flame, change into my image!”
Ogonin gave up trying to force illusion magic that didn’t work out of pride.
Illusion magic was diverse in addition to spells cast directly on the opponent. If it doesn’t work, just use something else.
A flame appeared and changed into a shape identical to that of Ogonin. It was a perfect alter ego that was impossible to distinguish.
Lee Han looked at Ogonin with eyes of astonishment. Ogonin felt his wounded pride restored just a little.
“…Student, listen! I apologize for being rude and being embarrassed. But I also have a situation…”
Chichichichichi-
“?”
Ogonin turned his head at the sound of burning wick heard from behind.
The wick that the flame clone had lit burned down and set off firecrackers.
Puffpuffpuffpuffpuffpuff!!!!!!
Both Ihan and Ogonin were speechless and just watched the pile of fireworks being launched.
* * *
Next problem! My favorite thing ever…
pop!
“?”
“what?”
The students who were yawning at the boring problem turned their heads.
Behind, beautiful fireworks were lighting up the sky.
Boom boom!
“It’s a firecracker!”
“Oh my, is it time to start already?”

The guests also got up from their seats with excitement.
Aren’t firecrackers one of the most beautiful things you can do with magic?
It was rare to have the opportunity to see the fireworks prepared by Einrogard so closely.
No… no… no!?
When the skeleton principal gave up and pretended to be surprised, the guests of the empire burst into laughter.
“You really like surprise gifts!”
“Wouldn’t the students be really happy to study under such a cheerful teacher!”
No… what kind of… eternally damned bastard…?
“What did you just say?”
quietly!
The skeleton principal revealed his true colors and silenced the imperial guests. The guest who was cursed with forced silence was frustrated and mumbling.
What…what…!
The blue eyes glowed brightly, leaving a trail behind the flying skeleton principal.
The tears dried up a long time ago, but the skeleton headmaster cried with his soul.
An evil person has ruined the plan to give students a fun firework dodging experience!
* * *
“…It’s over…”
Ogonin slumped down with a despairing expression.
I never would have guessed that this was a pile of firecrackers.
Besides, now that it had exploded like this, there was no way to run away. Soon people will come flocking.
‘Can I lose?’
Lee Han was worried as he looked at the prone Ogonin.
To ensure suppression, it was best to stun it.
It looked like he was a thief, not a professor…
However, for a thief, the other person seemed to have a strangely high status.
If Lee Han found out that he was acquainted with one of the professors, it would be quite difficult for Lee Han.
“Could you please tell me the circumstances?”
“what?”
“I was wondering if you could tell me the circumstances.”
“You… wait. “First of all, are you a student?”
Ogonin, who was in despair, suddenly became curious and asked. Lee Han nodded his head.
“You are a student.”
“Fifth grade?”
“no.”
“Grade 4?”
“no.”
“Sixth grade??”
“I’m a first year student.”
“……”
Ogonin looked around.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I was looking for a rope to hang myself with…”
“Don’t do that.”
Ihan tried to console him, but Ogonin fell down in frustration.
There’s a new student in the world who can’t be subdued with illusion magic, so he gets so upset that he sets fire to a pile of firecrackers!
I felt like I had been denied all the years I had lived as a wizard.
“Is that so. hmm. so…”
Lee Han tried to comfort the despairing wizard and listen to his circumstances.
Roughly speaking, he was a man named Ogonin who specialized in researching illusion magic, and once in the past, Gonadaltes took an ancient artifact related to illusion magic that was up for auction at a high bid, and even when I asked him to research it with me, he asked, ‘Why me? The answer is something like ‘You should buy it with your own money’…
In the end, he sneaked in to get his hands on the relic.
‘It’s a story that brings tears to my eyes.’
It was a story that made me cry even more because it wasn’t someone else’s story.
In fact, weren’t the upper grades currently robbing the skeleton principal’s warehouse to get materials?
If I went up further, I might have to go rob the warehouse of another magic school.
“What happened… no, Ogonin!”
Kirmin Ku, a fellow illusion wizard and professor at the magic school, arrived first and was surprised.
Ogonin, why are you here?
“Why don’t you call me when you come…”
Professor Kirmin looked at the fireworks being shot and exploding behind him, looked at Ogonin lying face down, and looked at the fireworks again.
And I finished assessing the situation.
“Did Ogonin set off fireworks?”
“yes.”
“…Wodanaz. “Can I ask you one favor?”
“Can I pretend not to know anything in front of the principal?”
“You really…”
Professor Kirmin was speechless. Because he was that amazing.
“okay. Please. Of course, I’m not asking you to do it. In any case, it is true that Ogonin tried to get his hands on the principal’s treasure…”
“no. it’s okay.”
“!”
“Aren’t you a friend of the professor?”
“…thanks. Wardanaz. “I will definitely repay this favor.”
Professor Kirmin was truly moved.
Unlike Bagrek, Bagrek’s disciple was truly a compassionate and warm wizard.
How on earth could someone like this be a disciple under Bagrek…!
Puff puff puff!
The skeleton principal arrived at the scene with the sound of exploding firecrackers.
The skeleton principal looked at Lee Han, then Professor Kirmin, then Ogonin, and then finished assessing the situation as well.
How dare you set fire to someone else’s festival just because you refused to cooperate with research!?
“Ah… no…”
“Mr. Gonadaltes. I don’t know how it happened. “When the three of us arrived, the fireworks were already burning.”
……
The skeleton principal was shocked by the unexpected betrayal.
Come to think of it, Professor Kirmin Ku is a fantasy wizard who is close to Ogonin.
There was nothing strange about taking Ogonin’s side.
‘These fantasy wizards…!’
What a ridiculous excuse…! So the fireworks burned themselves!?
“Mr. Gonadaltes.”
Professor Kirmin spoke powerfully.
“Ogonin, if you set the fire on purpose, there is no reason for you to remain here.”
……
The skeleton principal was caught off guard for the first time in a long time. The skeleton principal, speechless, only rolled his eyes.
It was such a valid statement.
Why on earth did Ogonin stay behind and set fire to the firecrackers?
“principal! “The fireworks are really beautiful!”
“I can’t believe I got to see something like this…!”
pop! Puff! Puff poop!
Fortunately, before the skeleton principal could think of the correct answer, excited customers came rushing in.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, Professor Kirmin spoke urgently.
“Ogonin. “Get out quickly.”
“Thank you… thank you. and…”
“This student is Ihan of the Wardanaz family.”
At Professor Kirmin’s words, Ogonin nodded with a tearful face.
“Thank you so much. I will never forget your name either. “I swear on the name of magic that I will repay this favor.”
“Go quickly!”
Ogonin hurriedly left the place. Getting caught by the skeleton principal won’t do you any good.
Meanwhile, the skeleton principal who was serving the guests realized the truth only late.
You’ve been discovered by Wodanaz! This guy! Even if you cast illusion magic directly on Wardanaz, it won’t work!
“What are you talking about…”
Where has Ogonin gone! Has he already run away?!
The skeleton headmaster ground his teeth.
When I thought about it, it was clear that Lee Han was holding me back.
There was so much difference between a new student and a prestigious imperial wizard that I couldn’t remember it at first…
If you compare the compatibility of the two, it is quite possible!
If not for this, there would have been absolutely no reason to set off fireworks and remain in place.
We’ll see… Ogonin! I will definitely avenge this festival’s grudge!
“Let’s run away quickly.”
Professor Kirmin quickly left, taking Lee Han with him.
There would be no benefit if it remained for a long time.
* * *
Friday after the festival ended.
All the guests from outside had left and the once bustling place was empty, but the students were still talking about the festival.
“Did you see the fireworks yesterday? “It was really pretty.”
“It was made with enchantment, right? Do you want to learn next week?”
However, Lee Han was a little nervous.
It was because I had to meet the skeleton principal soon.
There were quite a few students who got tickets to go out this week, so they were all supposed to get together and face the skeleton principal.
Lee Han has two tickets for going out.
One was a previous ticket and one was a new ticket I received from Professor Boladi this week.
‘I guess he doesn’t hold a grudge against me because of what happened yesterday?’
Lee Han just kept his mouth shut…
That alone was enough to make me pout at the skeleton principal’s personality.
Is everyone here?
“yes!”
Was the festival fun?
“yes!”
However, the skeleton principal who appeared did not burn with anger or flash madness.
He looked sullen and calm.
‘Thank goodness… no. Let’s not be complacent.’
Principal Skeleton, who had been greeting students, stared intently when he arrived in front of Lee Han.
“What’s wrong?”
Are you close with Ogonin?
“yes? “No.”
I see
Lee Han managed his facial expressions to perfection. There wasn’t a single gap.
…Until I heard the skeleton principal’s next words.
Then you can come with me next time I go out.
“……”
Lee Han did not ask where the skeleton principal was going to ‘go out’.
Even without asking, I had a clear idea where I was going.
