Episode 279
Anrago was eventually dragged into the hallway.
While being held by the collar, Anrago apologized.
“Kek, kek… Wardanaz. sorry. “I was fooled too.”
“If you were fooled, you bastard, you should have submitted your assignment too. “Why are you deceived when you don’t pay?”
Angago thought to himself as he saw Lee Han growling.
‘It’s you, so you can pay it…!’
Angago also thought there was really no extension of time.
However, Angago did not have the ability to make it as quickly as Ihan.
So, just like the White Tiger Tower students, I thought, ‘Why is studying so important? I was thinking, ‘I don’t mind because I have friendly friends here’…
“Well, the professor evaluated it favorably.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that the professor gave you a good evaluation, you would have been taken to the basement instead of the hallway.”
The assignment that Lee Han just gave was a show of guts and improvisation, but in a bad way, it was unreasonable.
It ended well because Professor Alpen looked at it favorably. If he looked at it negatively, wouldn’t Lee Han have become a crazy person?
Lee Han shook Angago’s collar a few more times and let go.
Anyway, the task was successful, so it was awesome.
Otherwise, they would have dragged him to the basement that Professor Boladi told him about earlier.
“To begin with, you White Tiger Tower guys are too swayed by rumors. Do you know? “In the first place, when you hear a rumor, you don’t blindly believe it…”
“……”
In return for spreading the false rumor, Angago had to listen to a suffocating nagging as he and Lee Han went back into the classroom.
I thought I would stop for a moment to catch my breath, but Wardanaz continued to nag me without any pause.
“Are you listening?”
“Uh, huh.”
“A knight must be aware of his honor and act seriously. But why are you so swayed by rumors? It was like that last time too. “Some White Tiger Tower student was spreading rumors that I had mastered some evil vision.”
‘That seems to have some basis…’
“If you hear such nonsense, as a fellow top friend, you should firmly cut it off. Do you understand? Are you listening?”
“Uh oh. “I’m listening.”
“Tell me what I just said.”
“……”
Angago vowed never to spread false rumors again.
A false rumor could have destroyed a student’s soul.
* * *
“thanks. Wardanaaz.”
“Because I am also responsible.”
Lee Han returned to the classroom and helped his friends with their production again.
Considering the amount of silver I received, I couldn’t just leave it alone.
“You’re talking about your responsibility as the valedictorian of your grade.”
“It’s not? “What nonsense…”
“no?”
Asan, who was touched, scratched his head with a shy expression.
Yoner, who was assembling a display case for potions next to him, paused for a moment and asked.
“wait for a sec. Come to think of it, last time I asked you if you were going to solve the problem with magic alone, you said no?”
“Gainando. “Please concentrate.”
Lee Han pretended not to hear and changed the subject. Gainando, who had been dozing off with his eyes open while holding the hammer, was startled.
“Huh, how did you know!?”
“……”
Yoner stared from behind. Lee Han hurriedly took a step forward.
“What is everyone worrying about?”
Lee Han tilted his head as he saw several students gathered together and having a discussion.
Seeing them talking with very serious expressions, it seemed like they were discussing an assignment.
‘It looks good.’
Compared to the way Gai Nando had just dozed off, it looked very nice.
After all, a student’s duty is to study…
“ah. Wardanaz.”
Neblen and Rowena stopped talking and looked at Lee Han.
From the looks of it, not only the two but also the other students looked familiar. They were followers of the princess whom I had seen a few times.
“what?”
Lee Han felt slightly ominous.
And that ominous feeling soon turned out to be true.
“We were discussing whether we should go with the original blueprint submitted by Her Highness the Princess, or compromise with the current tight situation.”
“……”
‘It would be better to be a dozing Cainando.’
Lee Han looked at his friends with contempt and regret.
Either way, the princess’s followers continued their discussion very seriously.
“Of course we have to go with the original plan! Do you doubt the princess’s abilities?”
“This is correct. Since Her Majesty the Princess submitted the blueprint, her honor and pride will be tarnished if she does not submit it according to the blueprint.”
‘They’re crazy.’
Lee Han realized quickly.

Even if you submit a blueprint, you can change it slightly depending on the situation. How can changing that damage your honor and pride?
So does this mean that Lee Han, who omitted all of the contents of the blueprint, was unscrupulous?
Basically, nothing good comes from hanging out with crazy people.
Lee Han tried to quietly back away.
However, the evil princess’s followers did not let Lee Han escape.
“Wardanaz. What do you think, Wardanaz?”
“that’s right. Wardanaz, please also say something.”
Lee Han inadvertently looked at Gai Nan Dao.
Unfortunately, Gai Nando was very focused. He couldn’t get away with finding fault.
‘shit. ‘I just concentrate as usual.’
“I think you two can make a decision among yourselves.”
“no. “If Wardanaz speaks, even those who oppose it will be convinced.”
It seemed that the princess’s followers preferred to achieve unanimity through peaceful persuasion.
The majority said, ‘Let’s go with the original plan,’ but…
Surprisingly, there was even one sane follower.
A student from Black Turtle Tower, he was alone in arguing that ‘the situation has changed, so let’s compromise.’
‘There were some decent people among the followers.’
Lee Han asked, feeling rude.
“What is your name?”
“Ball, ball cat.”
“okay. Ballcat. “What is your argument?”
“I think this is unreasonable time-wise. The Princess… I respect Her Majesty’s abilities, but Her Royal Highness must prepare for other tests as well. Before I entered school, I worked as a guild worker. “It is impossible to complete this in time.”
“indeed.”
Lee Han was impressed.
Like a sane person, he was making valid persuasions based on his own experience.
“Ballcat! “I respect your abilities and your family, but I cannot accept that you limit Her Majesty’s abilities like that!”
“that’s right! “Her Majesty the Princess can do it all!”
‘But the opponents are crazy people.’
Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.
The Volcat’s crime was hanging out with that group of lunatics.
Isn’t it because of that sin that we are suffering like this now?
There are people who can be persuaded and there are people who cannot be persuaded.
“hmm. I’m not sure. However, if opinions run parallel like this, it is not a bad idea to decide by majority vote this time…”
As he tried to escape, someone gently tugged on the end of Lee Han’s coat.
“?”
Lee Han turned his head without speaking.
The princess was desperately crossing both index fingers under the desk.
“……”
His face and eyes were expressionless, but his hand movements showed desperation.
Even Guyando would have understood the signal from over there: ‘Please stop me!’
When Lee Han paused, Neblen, who was listening, opened his mouth.
“Anyway, do you mean to decide by majority vote?”
“Wrong. Neblen.”
“uh? “It’s not a bad idea to just decide by majority vote…”
“In magic, there is only right and wrong, there is no majority rule.”
“!?”
Lee Han used his sculptural face to be forceful.
As she spoke seriously with an expressionless face, the princess’s followers lost the moment to say, ‘No, you said it.’
“Did you see that I submitted a magic lantern?”
“Well, I saw it, but…”
“Have you seen that and still not noticed? “That’s why Her Highness’s followers are like this.”
Lee Han was moving his head quickly as he spoke.
What kind of plausible sophistry can I come up with to fool these followers like Gai Nando?
‘I guess I was going to pretend not to know.’
However, I couldn’t just ignore it, so I was concerned about the silver coins that I had made by using, or rather treating, the princess.
The Thieves Guild would also give special treatment to customers who paid that much silver.
Moreover, the princess had an excessively wide network of connections.
If the princess went out during vacation and said lightly, ‘I asked for help, but Wardanaz didn’t help me,’ that could have been blown up into a rumor.
As Lee Han suffered from malicious slander throughout the semester due to the slight friction he had with the White Tiger Tower students, he was cautious in this part.
“Give me wisdom. Wardanaz.”
“What did we miss?”
“So… Professor Knighton is also evaluating guts and improvisation in this lecture. “I knew that, so I omitted the blueprint significantly and submitted it.”
“!!”
The princess’s followers were astonished.
When I heard it, it seemed plausible.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for a student like Wardanaz to submit the blueprint with a significant omission.
“Do you understand? Originally, Her Royal Highness would have been produced with significant omissions to suit the purpose of the lecture. “But I couldn’t bear to tell you so I was waiting because I was afraid you would be embarrassed.”
“That… like that!”
“I’m sorry, Her Highness! “We should have noticed!”
‘It worked out somehow.’
Lee Han sighed in relief.
The princess, who was surrounded by followers and receiving an apology, lowered her head slightly when she saw Lee Han.
It was a thank you for helping me escape.
Lee Han smiled and made a circle with his fingers.
‘Pay me back in silver later.’
When the princess saw that, her eyes widened slightly.
‘Are you telling me not to worry?!’
Even though I gave you this kind of help, I can’t believe you passed it off as okay.
I once again felt ashamed of myself for misunderstanding Wardanaz at the beginning of the semester.
The princess made a small circle with her finger. It meant she understood.
‘also. ‘It’s no secret that he has a reputation as a genius throughout the empire.’
Lee Han was happy.
Unlike Kainando, the princess was quick to understand.
The most intuitive way to express gratitude is through material things!

“hello. professor.”
Professor Passelette Kraer, a professor of precognitive magic, answered the students coming in to take the exam.
“My personality today will change to a violent and threatening personality in about 30 minutes, so if possible, don’t talk to me.”
“…yes!”
The students were disgusted and distanced themselves.
There were times when I forgot, but none of the professors at this magic school were normal people.
“Are you all seated? “Then let’s start the final exam.”
Professor Passelette waved his cane. Then letters appeared on the blackboard.
Foreknowledge Magic Foretell what will come out of the final exam.
“??????”
“start.”
Professor Passelette sat down.
Naturally, the students were in chaos.
Now is the final exam, so you can predict what will come out of the final exam.
It was a strange problem, like a snake swallowing itself.
‘Still, there are some quick-witted guys.’
Professor Passelette looked around at the students.
Some students were holding their heads in confusion, while others were deep in thought.
It was clear that he was trying to infer the meaning behind this contradictory issue.
‘For a foresight wizard, how well he refrains from foresight is more important than how good he is at foresight.’
It sounded paradoxical, but it was true.
Being able to get a glimpse of the future was incredibly addictive.
A wizard who fell in love with this pleasure could not last long as a precognitive wizard.
A wizard who can survive for a long time as a precognitive wizard is one who knows the fear of precognition and refrains from precognition as much as possible.
And the final exam question was one that showed that very point.
If I tried to use the magic of foresight because I thought there was something to be said about the problem, I would fall into an endless cycle and be trapped until the test was over.
‘It seems like Wodanaz noticed that too.’
Professor Passelette looked at Lee Han.
He was a student who showed tremendous potential from the first lecture, so even Professor Passelette, who was not particularly obsessed with his students, could not help but be concerned.
True to its potential, the pitfalls contained in the problem…
“?!?”
Professor Passelette was surprised.
Lee Han was attempting a precognitive spell.
And it continues without stopping!
‘Surely he should be locked up?!’
