Episode 290
The students’ mood suddenly darkened.
Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘Isn’t it because of the skeleton principal?’
Since the principal likes to bully others, the seniors are also tough…
“Let’s eat cake.”
“that’s right! cake!”
“Bring the other top guys too.”
“…uh. “Do you have to do that?”
“huh. Bring it back properly. “Don’t start a fight for no reason.”
“W-what do you mean? Wardanaz. “That can’t be possible.”
The Blue Dragon Tower student, whose true feelings were discovered, stuttered.
* * *
Other top students came sooner than expected.
The White Tiger Tower students who arrived last were armed with wooden swords and shields and looked around. When they found the cake, they lowered their weapons with a shy expression.
“What did I say!”
“S-sorry. “Durgyu.”
“for a moment. “The cake might have been poisoned…”
“Shh. Quiet. Even if it’s poisoned, a cake is a cake. “You can think about it after eating.”
White Tiger Tower students each received a slice of cake on a plate.
The cake was delicious.
“That’s why Wardanaz doesn’t play with what he eats.”
“surely…”
‘Next time I have to buy a trap, I’ll have to put it in my food.’
Lee Han thought like that as he passed by.
As expected, people seem to become happy when they eat something sweet, and all the students were talking with very satisfied faces.
I’ll take a piece too.
“Here it is.”
Two students next to him were screaming and rolling around, but Lee Han was not surprised and calmly cut the cake and handed it to him.
The skeleton principal used his telekinesis to throw the cake into his mouth and then spoke to the students.
Everyone is happy and having a good time.
“yes!”
“I’m so happy!”
Oh my. I wonder if you’ll be that happy when you see your test scores.
“……”
The skeleton principal succeeded in freezing the students’ mood without using any magic.
Among the students, the only one to whom the test score attack did not work spoke up.
“Aren’t you glad that the semester is over? “Everyone has worked hard this semester, but grades are not important.”
… says the senior of the grade. Everyone, take a good look. Only at this level can we say that grades are not important. Do you understand?
‘Oops.’
Lee Han had no choice but to admit that he had let his guard down in front of the skeleton principal.
As a person who has enjoyed fighting for thousands of years, it was a skill that could not be matched.
“Of course, Wardanaz, that bastard is a senior, but he says such obnoxious things…”
“Do you want to spit out the cake?”
“Oh, no. “When I think about it, it makes sense.”
However, the White Tiger Tower student who tried to complain was immediately suppressed.
Lee Han had given too much to the students in his same grade for the headmaster’s estrangement to work.
“I can’t admit it! “I always say that grades aren’t important!”
When Gainando shouted like that, the skeleton headmaster also seemed a little embarrassed.
Yeah, yeah. It’s good to be confident.
“thank you?”
It’s not a compliment. You’re going to the punishment cell soon.
“yes?? “What did I do wrong?”
Gai Nando was surprised and asked back. Then the skeleton principal summoned his white bone fingers into the air and stretched them out.
Do you know what this is?
“Bone… hand… finger?”
This is the number of classes you failed.
“……”
“……”
The students suddenly lowered their heads and tried to avoid the skeleton principal’s gaze.
Does failing a subject go away if you avoid eye contact? Those who fail will stay in the punishment room for the weekend and then be released.
“no! principal!!”
“It’s vacation!”
To be exact, vacation starts next week. So I guess I did well on the test. I don’t believe I was relieved just because it was a final exam. There’s no way a wizard would let down his guard like that, right?
Students who thought they would leave immediately after the final exams looked like they had been slapped.
I planned to spend the rest of the weekend chatting happily with friends, leisurely packing up my things, and heading out with a smile when the sun came up on Monday…
The skeleton principal asked again, folding one of his summoned bone fingers.
Do you know what this is?

“I… I don’t know.”
At those words, the skeleton principal folded one more finger.
And one more, one more.
When all of his fingers were folded, the skeleton principal smiled and said.
Failed students go to the punishment room!
“principal! “I haven’t eaten that cake yet!!”
“no! tomorrow! “You can go tomorrow morning!”
Suddenly, Death Knights rushed out from all directions and dragged away the students who had failed.
The skeleton principal nodded with a satisfied expression.
Let the less talented students rest well over the weekend and then leave. You had a hard time during the semester. See you next semester.
I have never sympathized with the words of the skeleton principal, but I had no choice but to agree this time.
‘It was really hard.’
Looking at my friends’ faces, it seemed like they were all thinking the same thing.
“Where are you going to stay during vacation?”
“Granden City.”
The empire was so vast that it seemed distant. Instead of returning to their hometowns every vacation, most students chose to stay in nearby big cities.
‘As expected, everyone seems to be staying in Grandeur City.’
Of course, there were some differences in the way we stayed.
“The family saved the mansion.”
“you also? Great. so do i.”
“I’m planning to stay at a friendly family’s mansion.”
“……”
Lee Han was silent after hearing the conversation between the Blue Dragon Tower students.
‘hmm. ‘It’s not for nothing that other top guys don’t like me.’
Mansions in big cities like Grandeur City were expensive beyond imagination.
Moreover, all of the Blue Dragon Tower students come from noble families of the empire.
Even if it was the same mansion, there was a big difference in price between the mansions in the noble district of the city and the mansions in other districts.
But to buy such a mansion as a vacation home to stay in during vacations?
Other top students weren’t swearing for no reason.
“Where do you stay, Wardanaz?”
“…Me too, Grandeur City.”
Lee Han answered Ratford’s question with embarrassment.
In fact, it was not the time for Lee Han to insult others.
As Lee Han himself belonged to the Wardanaz family, he had a mansion prepared in Grandeur City.
Originally, it would have been Filo’s village, but the school would have moved everything to Grandeur City…
“Why are you doing that?”
“It is nothing.”
Lee Han overcame his embarrassment and spoke.
“Ratford, where do you stay on vacation?”
“I am also planning to stay in Grandeur City. “I’m planning to stay in a boarding house.”
“If it’s okay, let’s stay at my family’s mansion, right?”
“oh. Is that okay?”
“of course. “It may be a bit small compared to other family mansions, but it’s not big enough to accommodate a few guests.”
Among the empire’s great noble families, the Wardanaz family was less greedy for wealth or power and focused only on magic, but that was only among the great noble families.
It is one of the most prestigious families in the empire, but how frugal can it be?
Perhaps the mansion that the Wardanaz family found was large enough to accommodate all first-year students.
“Durgyu. “Do you want to stay too?”
“Thank you for the offer. Lee Han. But I decided to stay at the Knights’ official residence with my tower friends.”
Black Turtle Tower students use their various connections to stay at guild lodgings or good inns.
Since the White Tiger Tower students come from a family of knights, they stay at the knights’ lodgings located in Grandeur City.
Phoenix Tower students are priests of the order, so they live in temple lodgings in Grandeur City.
‘no. ‘The Blue Dragon Tower guys are the only ones who are trash, right?’
The other tower students lived hard, but only the Blue Dragon Tower students seemed to use their family’s power to eat every day.
“Lee Han. “Lee Han.”
Yoner tapped Ihan and whispered.
Lee Han, who had been recommending to Priest Tigiling and Priest Nigisore to stay at the family’s mansion (both priests declined and said it was okay), was puzzled.
“why?”
“Look over there.”
Yoner pointed slightly in the direction with his finger. At the end was their friend Nilia.
While talking with the Black Turtle Tower students about which inn or guild accommodation would be good to stay in, Nilia glanced at the two with a dark expression.
‘Oops.’
Lee Han realized his mistake.
Of course, Nylia thought that Yoner would recommend it, so she told Ratford first…
“let’s go.”
“huh.”
The two took a quick step forward.
“Nilia! “Would you like to stay at the Wardanaz family’s mansion during the vacation?”
“What are you talking about, Lee Han! “Nilia will be staying at the Makin family mansion!”
The Black Turtle Tower students, who were talking about where they would stay, looked at the two with eyes that asked, ‘Why are these nobles so crazy all of a sudden?’
“The Wardanaz family!”
“It’s the Makin family!”
As the two pushed and pulled as best as they could, Nilia’s face brightened.
“Uh, what should I do? “I’m thankful for both, but the one I choose is a bit…”
“Then we will help you.”
“that’s right. “Nilia.”
The Black Turtle Tower students behind them intervened. Nilia was taken aback by the unexpected situation.
Salchow took out a map of Grandeur City from his pocket and frowned.
“Where is the Wardanaz family mansion located?”
“I think I should go and check.”
“Right. It’s unfortunate, but I have no choice but to deduct points. Wodanaz.”
“Yeah, yeah. “It’s a shame.”
“What about the Makin family’s mansion?”
“Up here on Hill Street in the central noble district.”
“The transportation is convenient, and there is an alchemy workshop nearby that specializes in dealing with nobles. “It’s a very good location.”
“Thank you… thank you?”
Salchow and Black Turtle Tower students seriously compared the two mansions.
Naturally, Yoner, whose family’s mansion had been in the city for a long time, had an advantage over Lee Han, who did not yet know what kind of mansion he had found.
“Nilia. “It would be better to stay at the Makin family mansion.”
“Yeah, really? But I feel sorry for Wardanaz…”
“If it’s so hard to choose, would you like to stay at the Kainando Mansion? “That would be the widest.”
“no! I’ll stay at the Makin family’s mansion! thank you!”
Nilia answered immediately.
really. It’s okay for everyone to talk, but there’s one thing to do.
“What is that?”
As everyone knows, Einrogard is full of mysteries and knowledge that has been passed down since ancient times.
The students nodded.
The problem was that there were not only mysteries and knowledge, but also monsters from ancient times.
And these treasures should not be leaked carelessly.
“okay.”
So, before we leave, let’s make an oath. I will not leak the mysteries and knowledge of Einrogard.
Lee Han, who was listening, felt something strange and asked.
“for a moment. “If I swear this, doesn’t that mean I can’t even talk about school rules or education?”
The skeleton principal ignored it, pretending not to hear it.
ruler. One by one!
“……”
The new students took the oath with the skeletal principal with a nervous look on their faces.
“I will protect Einrogard’s secret with my pride and honor?”
Spirit, protect the wizard’s secret.
Along with the complex waves of magical power, a forbidden system arose.
It was a strong prohibition that locked Einroguard’s important information inside the student’s soul and prevented it from coming out.
Lee Han, like the other friends, stood in front of the skeleton principal with a shocked expression on his face.
But instead of casting the spell, the Skeleton Headmaster spoke.
Wardanaz, you have to control yourself.
“…yes?”
Think about it. How much magic power will it take to ban you?
Considering Lee Han’s magical power, I had no idea how much magical energy it would take to cast a ban that would trap information within his soul.
The Skeleton Headmaster had no intention of committing such a waste.
“aha!”
If there are strangely specific rumors going around about Einrogard, think carefully about who will be suspicious first.
“Could I possibly do that?”
