Episode 199
Kumandas was embarrassed, but soon came to his senses.
There was a lot of work to do now.
I had to give a lecture on magic on behalf of Professor Verdus, who had been taken somewhere, and I had to somehow secretly persuade the new student who came in front of me to call him to the hallway of the twisted dimension…
“Seniors. hello!”
“Seniors! we…”
“for a moment!”
The 4th year seniors firmly blocked the mouths of the freshmen who were trying to chirp like birds.
Since they were freshmen, they knew what the freshmen would say.
“Don’t ask any questions about school life! Don’t ask questions about where the food pantries are in the school, which floor the test information is on, where there are useful books in the library, what to do to escape, anything else! “I’m only going to talk about enchantment!”
“……”
The first-year students became sullen due to their senior’s firm attitude.
But the seniors were also desperate.
If you make one mistake, you could be taken to a punishment room.
‘You’re paying attention to the skeleton principal.’
Lee Han seemed to know why his seniors did what they did.
With the skeletal personality of the principal, there was no way he could just stand by and watch the seniors help the juniors.
“Everyone, let’s not embarrass our seniors too much. “You must have circumstances too.”
Lee Han said as he swept the butter cookies on the table into his coat.
The friends nodded.
“Well, I guess your seniors will notice too.”
“What are they going to say about teaching my juniors?”
“You never know.”
“……”
The fourth-year students internally shed tears as they listened to the conversation between their still naive juniors.
‘You’re still naive!’
‘But no one has pointed out that the Wodanaz family is scooping up snacks?’
“Hmm. “Then, let’s start with the enchantment.”
The 4th grade students listening to bestowing magic cleared their throats once and then began the lecture.
Grant magic.
This is a type of magic that can be cast on people or objects, including strengthening, imprinting, and blessing.
If you succeeded in permanently casting it on an object, it became an artifact, and if you became familiar enough to cast it on a person professionally, you were praised as a reinforcement magician, so the uses of enchantment magic were truly wide.
Considering the wide scope of the study of black magic (at least assuming that Professor Mortum’s claim is correct) and the narrow scope of its uses, it was a magic that was bound to be popular.
“You juniors, please refrain from casting enchantments on your body for a while.”
One of the seniors spoke firmly.
“If you cast enchantment incorrectly when you are not confident in your skills, you can get seriously injured.”
Even if an enchantment cast on an object fails, the object ends up being broken, but if an enchantment cast on a person fails, the damage becomes more severe.
“Until I gain proficiency, I will only study enchantments that target objects.”
‘Indeed… hmm?’
Lee Han, who was listening to his senior’s explanation, paused.
…Didn’t the book that Principal Skeleton gave me teach me strengthening magic first?
“……”
Although it had already happened in the past, Lee Han felt strangely wronged.
This black book bastard…
“I heard that you, juniors, learned a little bit of <Lesser Cold Resistance> first, but in fact, <Lesser Cold Resistance> is a difficult magic to fully master now. It’s better now that the weather is getting colder, but it will get more difficult when the weather warms up. “Don’t be greedy and learn other magic slowly first.”
After hearing what the senior said, his friends stared at Lee Han. Lee Han pretended not to see it and ignored it.
“Okay then… let’s get started.”
<Enhancing paper strength>.
It was an easy magic that people learning enchantment for the first time could use as a stepping stone to get used to it.
The principle of magic was also simple.
All it does is make soft paper hard.
Students in lower grades used to wear paper like this under their coats as armor.
“Paper, be strong!”
“Paper, become like steel.”
“Spells are a tool for focusing one’s will, but don’t be too specific or restrictive. “It would be like holding yourself back.”
The seniors were better at teaching than Professor Bible. When students were divided into groups and taught in an orderly manner, the efficiency was so good that it was noticeable.
In fact, even if Lee Han had taught him, he would have been better than the professor.
Kumandas asked his friends for a favor.
“Can I teach him?”
“as you please. “But why?”
“Nothing, it’s nothing.”
Kumandas could not tell the truth to his friends.
-Actually, I had an accident last time. A new student’s skills are needed to fix that accident.
-I had doubts the last time I did the assignment, but you have finally gone crazy. Tsk tsk.
…Because there will be a reaction like this.
“hmm. Try casting it.”
Kumandas stared intently at the students in front of him. To be precise, he only focused on Lee Han.
“…?”

Ihan whispered to Yoner next to him.
“Did I do something wrong?”
“well? “Isn’t there one?”
“Did you grab the snacks too blatantly earlier?”
“The seniors must have had a time when they were freshmen, so it would be too much to try to target them with that.”
“yes? “I don’t know why.”
After a quick understanding, Lee Han tilted his head.
If not, why?
“Paper, be strong.”
Lee Han easily succeeded in magic.
Since I had already forced myself to learn magic that was several times more difficult than this, reinforcing the strength of the paper was not that difficult.
“It’s really good.”
Kumandas first praised.
In fact, I didn’t even see the magic Lee Han used. It wasn’t a difficult spell as other students were also succeeding.
Something else was more important than that.
‘I have to get the message out somehow!’
“Uh, so you know without even knocking?”
Angago next to him looked puzzled. Cumandas answered roughly.
“As you gain experience, you, my junior, will be able to do it too.”
“oh…!”
Angago was curious and tapped Lee Han’s paper.
Before the magic was applied, it was just a fluttering piece of paper, but now it made a noise like a solid tree.
Anrago also succeeded in magic, but it was not this strong.
Grant magic was recognized as successful if it passed a certain standard, but even if the success was the same, there were differences within it.
“How do I make it this hard?”
“Try adding more magic.”
Kumandas spoke without even looking at Anrago. Anrago swung his staff with more magical energy than before.
“oh…! “It’s really made me stronger!”
“okay. Great.”
Kumandas answered half-heartedly and then secretly whispered to Lee Han.
“…Are you having any difficulties?”
“?!”
Lee Han was surprised.
‘What is this person?’
Why are you suddenly saying this?
‘Is it a trap?’
The devil is always kind.
Lee Han did not let go easily.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t do that, do anything…”
While Kumandas was whispering, another 4th grade student came and was surprised to see the magic Lee Han had cast.
“Wow, you managed to infuse magical energy like this? “If I had been careful, the paper would have melted.”
“I know? Have you ever learned enchantment?”
“No way. “It’s not the time yet.”
The seniors were amazed and talked.
Casting a strong enchantment unconditionally was not a solution.
If a certain limit is exceeded, the object may be destroyed due to magical power.
In order to maximize magical power within such a tight line, not only talent but also experience was needed.
“Kumandas. Cumanthas. “Did you see this too?”
Kumandas, who kept whispering to Lee Han, ‘Are you having a hard time’, ‘I can help you’, and ‘Trust me’, looked away as if he was annoyed by his friends’ calls.
“what? why?”
“Did you see this?”
“saw. “You said it was successful earlier.”
“No, look at the magic that resides here. “Don’t you think it’s harder than wood?”
“What a fuss… Wow!”
Kumandas was surprised to see the magic contained in the paper.
Then the friends looked at Kumandas as if they were dumbfounded.
‘I heard you saw it…’
* * *
“It seemed like there was a strange person among the seniors.”
“okay? “I have to be careful.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students in the lounge were surprised at Lee Han’s words.
This magic school was a place where even seniors could not be trusted.
‘You’re asking such a blatantly suspicious question.’
If I had answered honestly, I might have been sent to the skeleton principal’s punishment room.
“Are you going out today too?”
“no.”
“Then ka…”
“I’ve been wandering around at night for a few days, so I’m going to read a book and catch up on some studying today.”
“……”
Gainando, who was taking out a pack of cards, stepped back with a disgusted expression.
If we were unlucky enough to get caught wrong, we might end up studying together.
“?”
Lee Han, who was reading a book, noticed a paper bird flying in through the open window.
‘what?’
Please come to the map below as soon as possible!!!
-Bible Verdus
‘and. ‘I really don’t want to go.’
As soon as Lee Han saw the note, he was disgusted.
A note telling me to come to the hallway of the twisted dimension would have been better.
I didn’t even want to imagine why the professor was suddenly calling me.
‘To the point where I feel sad that I can’t ignore it…’
When a professor calls, you have no choice but to go there.
That was the student’s cursed fate.
* * *
‘This is my first time seeing this place.’
The map pointed to the forest west of the main building.
Lee Han frowned as he stepped into the forest. He had been attacked by a crazy artifact not long ago, so it was only natural.
Fortunately, the forest was quiet, but Lee Han never let down his guard.
‘Pull the branch and circle the stump three times…’
Lee Han acted as instructed on the map.
Then suddenly the hallucination that was blocking my eyes disappeared and the building appeared.
“!”
It is the building that symbolizes the magic school and is the most complex and largest main building.
A workshop building, a tower built by different professors on a large site according to their own tastes.
There were dozens of other various buildings placed throughout the magic school…
‘This is my first time seeing a prison as blatant as this.’
The black, rusty metal exterior gave off a more brutal atmosphere than the punishment room.
“professor?”
“Shh. Quiet!”
With the sound of rattling iron bars, Professor Bible Verdus stuck his head out.
The Beaver Beast Man Professor looked at Lee Han and waved his hand.
“hurry! “Come here quickly!”
“What on earth is going on?”
“I don’t know! Gonadaltes suddenly came, got angry, and locked him up!”
“……”
Lee Han had a rough idea of the situation.
There is no way the skeleton principal would have put the artifacts that ran rampant in the warehouse himself; someone else would have put them there…
‘It was this person.’
Thanks to you, I almost died!
“Please open the door quickly.”
“Uh… Professor. “Aren’t there other disciples too?”
Lee Han did not understand.
I saw earlier that there were older students, but why Lee Han?
“They will be watched by Gonadaltes. He definitely has that type of personality. Anyway, please open the door quickly. “I think I’m going to die of boredom because I’m only making boring artifacts inside!”
Lee Han glanced inside the iron bars.
‘hmm. ‘You’re eating better and doing better than first graders.’
A soft bed, various fruits and tree bark.
Even though the skeleton principal was angry, he seemed to have kept the minimum line.
…When I thought about it, it was ridiculous.
‘Shouldn’t we do that to new students?’
“Wardanaz? What are you doing? “Aren’t you going to open it?”
“professor. “If I open this… won’t the principal suspect the culprit?”
“Just say I opened it!”
“But will you really believe that?”
“…why are you like this!? “Aren’t you going to open it?!”
Professor Verdus didn’t understand so he just tilted his head.
The disciple came first and was only saying strange things.
“professor. I want to open it too, but… it might be good to have some kind of compensation so I don’t regret it if the principal finds out later.”
Lee Han quietly blurted out his words.
Professor Verdus was not angry or embarrassed by the fact that his student was trying to threaten or trick the imprisoned teacher.
There was no such awareness in the first place. Just ‘Why is it like that? I just want to know, ‘What do you want?’
“okay! If you go out, I will definitely reward you! “Open!”
“Do not worry. professor. I already tried to open it. “I guess it’s because of the compensation…”
“I want you to open it quickly!”
Professor Verdus cut off the conversation because he was not very curious about Lee Han’s excuse.
