Episode 198
How long has it been?
The spire keeper, who had fallen due to an attack coming from behind, came to his senses and quickly got up.
The intruder attack artifact awakens and collapses, leaving behind a new student.
It was a mistake that even ten mouths would have nothing to say.
The steeple keeper stood up, holding on to his staff, praying that it was not too late.
“…?!”
However, the scene before his eyes was very different from what the spire keeper expected.
First of all, the inside of the warehouse was half destroyed.
The fight was so fierce that all the miscellaneous items lying around were smashed and lying around.
The spire keeper did not despair or freak out that the items in the headmaster’s warehouse were destroyed.
In fact, the items here were only considered valuable by the headmaster, and the spire keeper had little interest in them. It wasn’t even his stuff anyway.
The spire keeper was surprised that the new student fought the intruder attack artifact so tightly.
Looking at the artifact attacking it, it was definitely not at a level that lower grades could deal with.
“Ugh.”
Lee Han stood up with a groan.
In front were scorched and frozen artifacts.
I barely succeeded in sealing it in by pouring and pouring the cold, but my whole body ached.
‘I never thought Professor Boladi’s teachings were correct.’
Lee Han hated the fact that he had to acknowledge Professor Boladi’s words more than the fatigue of his body.
A wizard must never let down his guard at any moment!
If the reaction had been even a little late, the artifact would have pierced it and created a few wind holes.
“Good job. “Sharkhan.”
Sharkan purred and felt happy.
Without this powerful undead summon, the artifact would not have been captured.
While Lee Han fired various magic spells and struck the artifact with force, Sharkan threw his whole body to suppress the artifact’s movements.
If it weren’t for Sharkan, I would have been stabbed in several places a long time ago.
‘Anyway… are all artifacts this hard?’
I never thought an inanimate enemy could be this threatening.
That eerieness that doesn’t care even if lightning is struck, flames explode, magical power explodes, and curses are hurled.
The artifact that rushed towards the opponent’s vital points was the very thing of fear.
The cold was so pouring down that the entire room was frozen, and I was barely able to keep my feet together.
‘From now on, if you encounter an enemy in the form of an artifact, you must run away.’
The spire keeper seemed to have come to his senses and approached Lee Han. It was only then that Lee Han noticed the situation around him.
“…I couldn’t help it.”
Seeing the shattered warehouse suddenly filled me with a different kind of fear than before.
How will the skeleton principal react to this sight?
‘I guess it’s not all my fault.’
Lee Han desperately prayed that the spire keeper would not withdraw his foot.
If he had a conscience, he wouldn’t avoid responsibility for what happened because he fell, but…
Aren’t there a lot of people who leave their conscience at the front gate of this magic school?
Sze-
However, the spire keeper behaved completely differently from what Lee Han expected.
He bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.
“…!”
* * *
‘Why aren’t you coming?’
Principal Skeleton, who was happily waiting for the ‘Cold Winter Globe’, felt something strange.
Did you really notice?
‘no. That’s impossible. No matter how genius he is, he cannot foresee the magic contained within it.’
The skeleton principal soothed his anxious mind.
<Cold Winter Globe> was a surprise gift for the students in the classroom.
The moment Lee Han brings it in, the weather trapped in the globe is released into the classroom, and the students have to be happy about the snowstorm that greets them inside the classroom…
But why aren’t you coming?
Whoosh!
An undead bird of prey flew out of the window. A letter from the Steeple Keeper was tied to her ankle.
Seeing that sight, the skeleton principal instinctively felt ominous.
I think you need to come right now.
‘What the hell?’
The skeleton principal didn’t understand.
Did Wardanaz notice along the way and run away?
Or were you trying to defeat the Spirekeeper and loot the warehouse?
Plausible hypotheses came to mind, but the answer was unknown.
Tsk. I’ll be out for a bit, so please study on your own.
“!”
The students’ expressions brightened.
While I’m gone, write ‘I will not use unproven, dangerous magic’ 10,000 times.
The students’ expressions darkened.

Either way, the headmaster made an eerie sound and headed toward the spire.
What the hell is going on?
* * *
……
The skeleton headmaster felt tears streaming down his empty eye sockets.
Actually, it wasn’t real tears. Because Richie had no tear ducts.
But the skeleton principal could feel hot tears flowing down his face.
This… this is too much.
As the skeleton principal’s voice trembled with sadness, Lee Han’s fear multiplied.
It would be better if I got angry and looked like that.
Tuk-tuk-
The steeple keeper touched the skeleton headmaster and held out a piece of paper.
Since that new student overpowered the artifact, I think you should reward him.
……
The skeleton principal cursed himself for bringing in such a tactless man as his servant.
How is it that I’m less perceptive than the freshman next to me?
Are you saying that now? huh?
But in principle…
Principles and all, my heart is breaking! for a moment. What artifact caused this commotion?
Only then did the skeleton principal, who was losing his temper, realize what was strange.
It was clear that an artifact in the warehouse had accidentally woken up and caused this mess.
…But Principal Skull has never had anything like that in this warehouse.
If that had been the case in the first place, we wouldn’t have sent new students or brought in a steeple keeper.
what?
The <Magic Sword for Slaying Enemies> and <Chains for Capturing Giants> that were requested last time were completed and left behind.
-Bible Verdus
The skeleton principal’s mouth dropped as he found the note among the mess.
Last time, I made a big decision and divided my assets and commissioned Professor Verdus to produce an artifact.
…The professor who completed the artifact left it in the warehouse.
As a surprise gift!
‘…no. ‘No.’
Professor Verdus was not the type to give surprise gifts.
It was clear that he was just annoyed and left it in a nearby warehouse.
I will kill you! Bible!
The skeleton headmaster roared in anger.
The steeple keeper’s body trembled under the pressure of the magical power.
“principal. “It looks like the spire keeper here is having a hard time…”
Although Lee Han was afraid, he opened his mouth for the spire keeper.
The skeleton headmaster must have come to his senses and stopped emitting magic power.
…Are you worried about the new student now?!
The steeple keeper lowered his head as if he had been shamed.
After fully assessing the situation, the skeleton principal clicked his tongue and looked at the ceiling in despair.
It was not due to anyone’s fault, but was more like an accident caused by bad luck and misfortune.
‘No. It’s Bible’s fault.’
The skeleton principal came to his senses.
The psychological blow was so severe that I almost passed over it.
‘I’ll kill you…’
Tuk-tuk-
?
When the spire keeper called again, the skeleton headmaster turned his head in puzzlement.
Since that new student overpowered the artifact, I think you should reward him.
…later. Let’s do it later.
The skeleton principal answered in a weak voice.
If you think about it, the steeple keeper was right.
The magic sword and chain that Principal Skeleton made at the request of Professor Verdus were not ordinary items.
The fact that a new student was able to subdue it was so amazing that even the skeleton principal was surprised.
…If only it were normal!
Right now, Principal Skeleton was so heartbroken and empty that he couldn’t afford to be surprised or complimented by anyone.
I’ll do it later. Do you understand?
“yes. what.”
Lee Han had no complaints at all.
I just want to get out of this place as quickly as possible.
Pot!
The skeleton principal has disappeared.
Lee Han mourned Professor Bible in his heart.
I didn’t know exactly what the situation was, but I don’t think I’m there to praise you.
Tuk-tuk-
“?”
The spire keeper placed a well-wrapped package into Lee Han’s hand. And then he said thank you again.
I will talk to Gonadaltes about the reward later.
Lee Han was moved.
‘What a good person he is!’
I happened to be hired by a skeleton principal…
* * *
afternoon.
Lee Han headed to Professor Bible Verdus’ workshop, Seonggak-gwan, to listen to an additional lecture on enchantment.
‘Amazing.’
Surprisingly, quite a few students were gathered in front of the tower.
Considering that Professor Verdus was the worst educator, it was proof of how attractive enchantment was.
‘I feel sorry for Professor Mortum for no reason.’
Sympathizing with a professor was a taboo of all taboos, but the human mind was sometimes unavoidable.
“…for a moment. “But why is everyone standing outside instead of going in?”
“You won’t open the door?”
Lee Han went among his friends and knocked on the door of the workshop.
Knock knock-
“professor? “Are you there?”
There was a crunching sound inside, and then whispers that seemed to be discussing with each other.
-What do we do? Can I really do this? Aren’t we going to the punishment room later?
-You were given permission to lecture in place of the professor.
-Still… how can you believe that?
Only after some time had passed did the door open.
“!”
“!!!!”
The first-year students were surprised.
The person behind the door was not Professor Verdus, but rather upper-grade students whom I had never seen before.
And the older students were also surprised.
To be precise, only one of the older students was surprised.
‘You’re that new student!?’
Kumandas, Coholti’s friend and a fourth-year student majoring in ancient magic and enchantment, was surprised to recognize Lee Han’s face.
I never thought we would meet here like this!
‘uh? wait for a sec. Doesn’t he major in black magic?’
Kumandas was confused for a moment.
Of course, it was not a case of double or triple majoring, but it was very rare.
Even if I had to double major, I chose a field that was highly related and easy to study, like Kumandas.
Otherwise, the student will follow and fall down.
In fact, Kumandas first learned enchantment magic professionally, and then additionally studied the artifact field in ancient magic.
In fact, it had to be seen as a double major linked to enchantment.
However, the student in front of me has been majoring in black magic and enchantment since his first year…?
‘If I were to learn both from the first year, it would be quite difficult and difficult.’
Kumandas was skeptical at first, but after thinking about it, he thought it might be possible.
Isn’t that Delet a first-year student with surprising talent?
I was a freshman to the point where my friends were saying, ‘Didn’t the Wardanaz family cast a spell?’…
In a way, it was natural to have such grand aspirations.
‘I wonder what a genius like that is thinking.’
Kumandas became curious.
Of course, Cumandas was a genius when looking at the entire empire, but this magic school is a place where only the geniuses of the empire are gathered.
The real geniuses who stood out there were of a different class.
Just like the boy from the Wardanaz family right in front of you!
‘Compared to that guy, I’m very ordinary…’
The sight of Lee Han, lost in thought with an expressionless face like a statue, gave off an even more mysterious atmosphere.
I felt like a wizard who was always immersed in a magical world except when he was sleeping.
“Seniors.”
“Why are you doing that?”
The statue, no, the genius opened his mouth.
“Can I eat the snacks on the table?”
“…uh? Uh oh. “You can eat it…”
“It can be done.”
“Wardanaz, thank you!”
Other first-year students expressed their sincere gratitude to Lee Han.
Kumandas looked devastated as he saw the new students rushing inside.
what?
what…?
‘Something… something is different from what I thought…?’
