Episode 202
It was rare even in magic schools for students to receive such evaluations from their first year onward.
Magic school was a more free place than I thought.
Even if a student left midway through the school year to continue his or her family’s legacy or worked in a different field without using the magic he had learned, he did not say anything.
To that extent, an evaluation such as ‘key talent responsible for the magic school’ was truly an enormous evaluation.
A talent who will remain at the magic school even after graduation and pioneer the unknown field of magic with the best minds in the empire!
There has never been such an honorable evaluation for a wizard.
If Professor Rosine had received that kind of evaluation, she would have remained a wizard rather than a bureaucrat.
‘I need to remember this moment well. I might be seeing the young moments of a future great archmage with my own eyes.’
Unlike Professor Alpen Knighten, who was a former imperial official and had a sense of mission to raise students into wizards, Professor Rosine, who was urgently called in, had no such sense of mission.
Since I got gold coins, I just have to work that much!
Of course, he had no intention of pushing his students to the limit like other professors.
Why would they do such a thing when they might meet again later when the students become successful?
Holding a grudge for no reason was something a fool would do.
Teaching hard, encouraging hard, giving advice on various issues…
I felt like it would be rewarding if students came to me later and said something like, ‘Thank you at that time, Professor.’
Of course, the boy from the Wardanaz family, who could perfectly point out the mistakes in the contract right before his eyes, seemed unlikely to do so.
He was doing very well on his own.
‘I understand why I get a lot of compliments.’
While other students stopped at a stuttering level, Lee Han read without stopping, his eyes burning.
I could feel the passion in that look.
Passion for learning and exploration, not simply talent or cleverness.
Aren’t those who always enjoy themselves the strongest?
It was clear that the boy really liked studying.
“Well done. Everyone applaud!”
Lee Han felt proud as he received applause.
It was the first time since I entered school that I felt such a strong sense of reward from studying.
‘After leaving an impression little by little like this, I take the opportunity to provide consultation. ‘What should I do to become a bureaucrat?’
‘If you force yourself to talk to Wardanaz, you may be misunderstood by other professors, so be careful.’
The magic school was free, but even the professors were not lenient.
In particular, former imperial officials were more sensitive.
-How dare an auditor come into my workshop…?
-No, since you received a gold coin from His Majesty, of course you came to check how you are using it!
-You’re probably planning to lure my student into a government position again, right? This is absolutely unacceptable!
-You only did that once 22 years ago! And the student originally wanted to hold a government position!
-Shut up! You corrupt slave of gold. Don’t set foot in a tower of pure magic!
The moment a professor took one of his favorite students to a government position, that official became an enemy not only to the professor but also to all the wizards he was friends with.
And that too for a lifetime!
It was so dirty and shameful that even the officials did not bother to take the professor’s favorite student with him.
Professor Rosie, who hates causing trouble, naturally thought so.
Even if you take just one student, there will be an uproar, but if you take a talented person who is highly anticipated by the entire magic school…
‘That would never have happened in the first place!’
Why would a boy who likes learning so much be interested in government office?
The other professors at the magic school didn’t have to worry at all.

“Lee Han. “You seem to be in a good mood.”
“Does it look like that?”
friday.
Students gathered for a swordsmanship lecture.
Dergyu noticed that Lee Han’s facial expression was softer than usual.
Although it was almost the weekend, the other students’ expressions were dark.
This was because the cold continued.
Right now, Durgyu felt like his stomach was sticking to his back and his bones were cold…
“I know why.”
Anrago, who was passing by, spoke instead.
“what?”
Lee Han was planning to hit Angago if he said nonsense like ‘Because Lee Han will soon come out to solve this cold.’
Whether I liked it or not, I couldn’t forgive it.
“Are you looking forward to the snowball fight?”
“…what?”
“Staring contest.”
Anrago pointed behind him.
The White Tiger Tower students were holding snowballs in both hands as Professor Ingalldel walked by.
“…professor. “Is there a lecture today?”
“yes. “It’s a snowball fight.”
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
Why a snowball fight?

But Professor Ingalldell was serious.
“When fighting, it is important to know how to deal with thrown weapons coming from a distance. Especially in many-to-many fights.”
“Well, I see…”
Lee Han was convinced.
That was definitely true. Because the attacks on the battlefield did not come honestly only in front of our eyes.
More dangerous than the knight in front were the stones flying from the blind spot.
Of course, when I saw the White Tiger Tower students throwing snowballs at each other from behind, I thought a little, ‘Don’t they just like snowball fights?’…
‘for a moment.’
Lee Han felt an uneasy atmosphere.
The White Tiger Tower students were whispering and looking at Lee Han while holding snowballs.
The intention was very obvious.
‘These kids…’
Lee Han immediately pulled out his wand.
If you freeze water beads and blow them, they won’t be much different from snowballs.
“for a moment. Wardanaz. Don’t use magic. “If you use magic, it will be so easy.”
“No… Professor. “I’m not that good at magic.”
Lee Han, who was banned from using magic again just like he did during the last midterm exam, complained with the most unfair expression on his face.
But Professor Ingalldell did not give in one bit.
The White Tiger Tower students behind him glared at me as if I was ridiculous.
‘Wardanaz, if you’re not good at magic, are we slugs?’
‘Did that bastard think lying like that would work?’
“But that doesn’t work. Since this is a swordsmanship class, please learn how to fight without relying on magic.”
“yes. All right.”
Lee Han initially agreed, but his true feelings were different.
‘The moment the professor isn’t looking, I’ll destroy it.’
Professor Boladi did not emphasize the importance of speed in magic combat for no reason.
It was clear that he had taught me to beat him quickly in times like this.
“really. And I brought gifts for the students.”
“yes?”
The students tilted their heads at Professor Ingalldell’s words.
What gift?
-■■■■…
A ferocious fortified pig that I met at Professor Thunderstruck’s alchemy lecture.
The pig was tied to a tree.
“I will give it as a gift to the students who won the snowball fight today.”
“Thank you… thank you.”
Looking at it objectively, the pig was a good gift in the current situation.
Because there was no place for the pigs to be thrown away.
There were many places to use meat, as well as pork fat, during the cold weather.
‘But where did you get that from?’
“Hey. Please take care of me.”
Giselle Moradi, a student at White Tiger Tower with golden hair, raised one corner of her mouth and looked at Lee Han.
It was a very unpleasant smile that made you feel deep inside.
This is an opportunity to legally throw a snowball at Lee Han’s face, so how could you not be happy?
“professor. “Moradi and his friends are trying to harass me.”
Lee Han responded immediately.
Giselle, caught off guard, looked at Lee Han with a shocked expression.
‘Such a bastard…’
It is said that people from a family of knights cannot tell because of their pride, but Lee Han was able to do so without hesitating even for a second.
“There must have been some kind of misunderstanding.”
“no. professor.”
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
“??”
Lee Han was puzzled when Professor Ingalldell did not waver.
what?
Professor Ingalldel was not a stubborn person. I never thought a person like that would listen to me at all.
…Surely Lee Han’s tricks were discovered?
“Lee Han.”
Dergyu spoke in a low voice next to me.
“Why are you calling me?”
“You, Moradi, and I… are a group.”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Giselle looked at each other with shocked expressions.
It was like that…!
* * *
Doo doo doo doo doo!
“Does Moradi have any friends?”
Lee Han asked curiously as snowballs flew in like crazy people.
Now Lee Han, Giselle, and Dergyu were running hard.
Even though the three were leading lecturers, there was no answer for the quantity.
All the students except three were united in unity and throwing snowballs, but they were unable to respond head-on. The three were retreating for now.
“It’s not that Moradi has no friends. Lee Han. Since the three of us are strong candidates for the championship, everyone is trying to keep us in check first…”
“Choi. “Please don’t answer all that bullshit.”
Giselle shot back sharply.
I tried to just ignore it, but it was because of Dergyu!
Papa pa pa pa paak!
“Right. “I was just wondering if it flew over so much.”
“You don’t even think about the grudges you’ve built up?”
“Honestly, isn’t it time to forget? what do you think about it? Dergyu?”
“……”
“……”
Giselle and Durgyu were silent.
It wasn’t that I was particularly convinced, and I didn’t have anything to say.
‘I think the kids were hit too many times to be forgotten…’
“Wardanaz, die!”
It seemed like they attempted to ambush the three of them by going around the hill they were climbing.
Students came out from behind the trees.
Lee Han skillfully dodged the magic, no, the snowball, and threw away the snow he was holding.
puck!
“for a moment. Durgyu. “Isn’t this the end if I get hit once?”
Lee Han paused at the sight of the student raking the snow again without giving up even after being hit.
“It’s not? “Until he announces his surrender.”
“……”
It was a more primitive and ignorant rule than I thought.
‘It’s too disadvantageous to do this.’
It would be okay if you only got one right, but if you got it right and there was no end to it, the three of you were at a disadvantage.
A white tiger pagoda student hiding behind a tree shouted.
“Wardanaz!!”
“I’m listening.”
“I will definitely defeat you today!”
“It’s not just today. Should I do that?”
“If you miss today, you have no chance!”
‘That bastard is causing disgrace to the White Tiger Tower.’
Giselle thought to herself.
Of course, Giselle also thought that it would be difficult to win unless Lee Han had magically sealed it like today, but letting that out was another matter.
“Should I just surrender?”
“ah. no. That’s a bit… odd. Still, I need to try some more.”
“I think it would be a loss if we held on recklessly when everyone is targeting us.”
I heard a noise coming from behind. Lee Han leaned over the rock and threw out his eyes.
Sigh!
The White Tiger Tower student who was approaching fell asleep. Without stopping, Lee Han threw another snowball he had made.
“evil! surrender! surrender! Wodanaz! “It really hurts!”
“what? You only got hit a few times. Anyway, thank you.”
“You put a rock in it!!”
“It’s not.”
Lee Han split the snowball he was holding. There really wasn’t anything like a rock.
A trick like inserting a rock was a foul that was too easy to get caught.
The white tiger top student with a gaping face tilted his head.
‘what? ‘It really hurt?’
It felt like a hard weight rather than a soft snowball.
“You really didn’t put a rock in it, did you? “Tell me honestly.”
Giselle couldn’t believe it and whispered softly. Even though no stones were used, the opponent surrendered too easily.
“I said I didn’t put it in. “I have such an easily caught trick…”
Whoosh!
Lee Han once again threw a snowball at the approaching student. He unconsciously used magic power as far as he could.
The experience of throwing marbles at Professor Boladi with all my might was a very beneficial experience.
That experience stayed with me and helped me use my magical powers.
Jeok-
“…?”
Lee Han clearly felt it at that moment.
The snowball that was about to fly away was frozen solid in my hand!
