Episode 239
“Why are you all like this? “Are you sure you said this because you don’t have any money?”
One of the merchants, who felt uneasy, joked to break the mood.
“yes…”
“I’m sorry… it’s a school rule…”
“……”
When the White Tiger Tower students answered hesitantly, the merchants were astonished.
No, what kind of rule is that??
I heard rumors that they teach strictly, but this…
“Well, does that make sense? “If I can’t bring money to school… how can I go out?”
‘That’s a very valid point.’
Lee Han nodded.
“That’s not important right now.”
“Yeah, that’s right. “So… um…”
As the merchants looked embarrassed, one of the White Tiger Tower students expressed his opinion.
“Is it possible to pay it back during vacation? “In the name of the family…”
-Where in the sacred land of Einrogard would you dare attempt trauma? Do you have no honor or pride? Still a wizard?
“……”
The Death Knights next to him poured out criticism mercilessly.
The White Tiger Tower student, who was accused of being unscrupulous after saying one wrong word, just collapsed.
“Ah… no. Death Knight. We’re okay…”
-No! There is nothing good about raising students. This is a law that must be taught strictly. Doesn’t it appear in old stories too? Prodigal children waste the family’s wealth thinking it is their own.
“I don’t think I’ll lose my money just by buying some materials, but…”
The merchants muttered, but the Death Knights pretended not to hear and ignored them.
‘No matter how you look at it, it looks like it was sent by the skeleton principal.’
When I thought about it, there were merchants coming in from outside, but there was no way they would easily allow it due to the skeletal nature of the principal.
They probably anticipated this situation and sent it in.
I ordered the Death Knights to ban trauma!
“hmm. “Can I just buy mine first?”
When it seemed like the story was going to be long, Lee Han opened his mouth.
The merchants were astonished.
“Do you have any money now?”
“yes.”
“How… no… it’s actually natural that it exists… but I would appreciate it if you could do it!”
Still, the merchants were pleased to see that there was at least one student with money.
“uh? “If Wodanaz has money… shouldn’t I just borrow it from Wodanaz?”
-How dare you make money transactions between friends in the sacred land of Einrogard? Aren’t you afraid that your friendship will be ruined? Still a wizard?
“Okay… I was wrong.”
‘Such an idiot.’
Lee Han clicked his tongue as he looked at the White Tiger Tower student.
If you’re going to borrow it, you should borrow it secretly in a place where the Death Knights can’t see. You’re trying to borrow it so openly.
“Why are you standing like that?”
Professor Verdus approached the students in confusion as they stood there hesitantly.
“…professor. We don’t have money. “You may have forgotten.”
“I guess so. “It is prohibited to bring silver into the school.”
Professor Verdus’ words made the students even more suspicious.
Why on earth would someone I know be like this?
Did you just want to see students frustrated and suffering?
Considering the principal, it might be a pretty plausible hypothesis…
“I make up for it by working. “Your seniors did the same.”
“yes?”
“To work. Day. I don’t know?”
“……”
“……”
Both merchants and students were taken aback by the unexpected method.
It wasn’t completely nonsense.
Because wizards were one of the most high-quality human resources in the empire.
Talented wizards cost a lot of money, so they couldn’t claim to have money.
Einrogard students, even if they are first year students, are much better than the middle school students out there…
“Jung, are you really okay?”
“are you okay. “Order anything.”
“no…”
The students were so moved by the kind appearance of Professor Verdus who answered for them that their words trembled.
Professor Verdus was surprised when he saw Lee Han.
“Why do you have money?!”
‘That’s right.’
Other students sympathized with Professor Verdus for the first time.
“that is…”

“When I think about it, I’m not really curious. You pay and go. Make an artifact quickly. “I’m looking forward to the floating steel shield.”
“An artifact like that already?!”
The merchants next to him were shocked, but Lee Han had no energy to explain anymore.
and…
“I will just repay you with work.”
“yes? Why…?”
The merchants were puzzled.
The Death Knights kindly explained it.
-Friendship.
-Honorable friendship.
“ah…!”
“Wardanaz…!”
The merchants and other students were also impressed.
Either way, Lee Han did the calculation.
‘The prices of ingredients over there are roughly…’
If I could fill my time with work, it was definitely an advantage.
Why waste silver coins?
‘Why is this guy really trying to pay back with work?’
Giselle looked at Lee Han as if it was hard to believe.
Of course, it wouldn’t be because of friendship (Giselle wasn’t an idiot like the Death Knights), and it wouldn’t be because someone from the Wardanaz family was tight on money…
how?
“If I do more work than the cost of materials, will I get a refund?”
“yes?”
“……”
* * *
“what?! Merchants came to the school!?”
Guynando was lying down on the sofa and suddenly stood up.
“I am not the merchant you think. Gainando.”
“that’s right. “He only sold the reagents needed for magic.”
“But don’t you have at least one snack?”
“I didn’t know there was one. ah. “They sell the food used to attract animals.”
As the day passed, the merchants’ visit became a hot topic.
Since it is a very closed environment, it is inevitable that customers from outside will be interested.
Of course, the students who learned the truth quickly lost interest.
“There is nothing useful.”
“It would be better to prepare in advance.”
Lee Han gave advice to his friends.
“Pre-final assignments will be coming out for other lectures soon. “It would be a good idea to prepare ingredients that will be used a lot in advance.”
“…!”
That was definitely true.
When professors gave assignments to do, they didn’t even kindly provide materials.
“So… Is that so?”
“It might be better to go ahead and buy it.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students who were persuaded got up and got up.
And then he went to the merchants.
1 hour later.
“…I was deceived…”
“I was deceived by Wodanaz…”
“If others hear it, they will misunderstand it.”
Lee Han scolded his friends sitting next to him.
At first, the merchants thought, ‘Oh my gosh, how can we exploit wizards?’, but they worked much better than expected.
After all, professionals are thorough.
-These are potions that failed during production. I want to separate these potions as much as possible and salvage the ingredients.
-Would you please pick out any of the miscellaneous items here that still have magical powers?
-I need someone to complete the basic work of the scroll. Could you help me? There are about a few hundred of them…
The White Tiger Tower students who had been sitting earlier were just playing with their hands with blank faces.
Just because it wasn’t a difficult chore didn’t mean it wasn’t difficult.
Separating a potion also consumed magical power, finding magical items among miscellaneous items also consumed concentration, not to mention the preliminary work of drawing lines on a scroll.
“Was the task this difficult…?”
‘Actually, the assignment hasn’t even started yet.’
Even while his friends were stumbling from fatigue and lack of magical power, Lee Han continued to live by himself.
“It’s done.”
“No, you mean already?!”
“yes. “Please give me the next one.”
“I think you need to get some rest.”
The merchants tried to stop Lee Han.
Of course, Lee Han still looked fine, but I was worried about continuing to work while the other students were stumbling.
“no. “You can do more.”
“Rather than that… if you’ve worked this much, I think you have enough to take the materials…?”
“no. “I might fail, so I try to prepare and work harder.”
If there is any leftover, take it in silver coins!
Professor Verdus, who was passing by, asked.
“Looking at your skills, I think you can just do this.”
“no.”
“I think I can just do it…”
“no. “It’s not enough.”
“You can just do it!”
“It’s not enough!”
“…Two, two minutes. “Don’t fight.”
The merchants were embarrassed to see the teacher and student fighting.
Why on earth are we fighting over something like that?
* * *
“It seems like everyone is having a hard time with their pre-final assignments.”
Professor Ingalldel said as if he felt sorry for the corpse-like appearance of the students.
“I have to tell you some good news. “There are no pre-final assignments in my classes.”
“!!”
“Professor Ingalldell. “You are a true educator!”
“It doesn’t make me feel good to hear compliments like this, but… the final exam is just around the corner. Everyone, don’t be too relaxed. “If you do a few assignments, they will come to you.”
Lee Han nodded.
After the storm of pre-final assignments that were currently pouring in one after another, there was a high possibility that the final exam would come when I woke up.
You can’t let down your guard just because there are two or three weeks left.
“So, I’d like to tell you about the final exam first.”
“!”
“professor…! That much…!”
‘This isn’t a good thing.’
Unlike his friends who were impressed, Lee Han was nervous.
Although Professor Ingaldel may seem a bit more communicative than the other crazy professors, Professor Ingaldel was also Einrogard’s professor.
He is definitely not a person who is generous to students.
“Do you see those mountains?”
Professor Ingalldell pointed to the mountain range behind the main building with the tip of his sword.
The students nodded.
Since everyone has suffered there at one time or another, there is no way they would not know about the mountain range within the magic school.
“The final exam will be about the three of us hunting together as a group.”
“oh…”
“What are you catching? wild boar? bull?”
“Take whatever you want. “The stronger the prey you catch, the higher the grade you will receive.”
“……”
“……”
The students’ expressions hardened.
no…?
‘Can’t we collude?’
Lee Han thought so and looked around, but immediately gave up.
Looking at the expressions of the White Tiger Tower students, they were definitely not partners with whom I could collude.
If you grab its hand, it will immediately stab you in the back and find its own stronger prey.
In particular, isn’t the swordsmanship lecture the pride of White Tiger Tower students?
There was no way that saying ‘Let’s not overwork each other and get good grades together’ would work.
“friends. Think about it carefully. We have a lot of homework to do before finals. There is also a final exam, so if you try to be too competitive here… that’s okay. What would be the point if I told you? “Do it yourself.”
Lee Han gave up while talking.
The White Tiger Tower students weren’t even listening.

The eventful weekday was coming to an end, but the lectures did not leave the students alone.
As pre-final assignments began pouring in in required liberal arts courses such as <Basic Imperial Language and Logic> and <Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic>, students looked upset.
“really. Wardanaz County. “You’re making a floating steel shield?”
Professor Alpen Knighton looked at Lee Han with curiosity.
“It just so happened…”
“It’s a simple artifact, but the calculations won’t be easy. Please show me when it’s finished. “I wonder to what extent it will be completed.”
“…yes.”
‘This school shouldn’t allow professors to talk to each other.’
As Professor Boladi, Professor Verdus, and finally Professor Knighton began to ask when the floating steel shield would be made, Lee Han felt his breath slowly becoming suffocating.
‘I really need to get started right away.’
At this point, there was a high possibility that I would not be able to change the topic of the assignment even if I wanted to.
The professors said, ‘Why don’t we try again?’ ‘I’m sorry, but should I try again?’ I felt dizzy imagining people saying things like, ‘I think I can do it if I just do a little more…’.
…make this a top priority and absolutely finish it within this weekend!
