Episode 386
‘…It must be an illusion.’
Lee Han didn’t want to believe it.
Because they were the Phoenix Tower priests who had trusted and cared for each other so much until just now, and who made me think that there was a ray of hope even in this hellish place.
Would such priests fight because of the religious order that Lee Han believes in?
“I am currently interested in some religious denominations.”
“!”
“Does that mean… you haven’t decided on your true faith yet?”
“How on earth does that sound like that?”
I clearly said, ‘I’m interested in some denominations,’ but to the priest next to me, it sounded like, ‘I’m wandering because I can’t find the true faith.’
“It’s not that I’m wandering because I can’t find faith, it’s more that I support temples like the nobles of the empire usually do.”
Lee Han even did things he wouldn’t normally do to persuade the priests.
He claimed to be a typical imperial nobleman.
Of course, it was of no use now.
“But Ihan of the Wardanaz family. There are many nobles who support the temple, but there are not many who go to the temple in person and participate in prayers. “I think his sincerity is different from that of other nobles.”
Nigisor of the Afha Church spoke in confusion.
Lee Han gritted his teeth and said.
“Thank you for your kind explanation.”
“I’m embarrassed.”
When they heard that Lee Han had visited the temple of the Apha Church or the Pricinga Church and participated in the event, the eyes of the other priests sparkled even more.
To the priests now, Lee Han just looked like a wandering lamb.
“Please visit our church sometime. I am sure you will find the true faith you are looking for.”
“So, without that, just out of pure support… No, rather, your denomination will never allow religion again, right?”
Among the religious denominations in the empire, there were denominations that allowed people to hold multiple faiths, and there were denominations that insisted only on their own faith.
As Lee Han was trying to profit by visiting the former, he was unable to become friends with the latter.
“It doesn’t matter now. “If you only find true faith, you will forget all other faiths.”
“for a moment. That is unacceptable. Are you saying we should forget the faith of the Apha Church? “Now, there is no one in the empire who is as faithful to the faith of the Afha Church as Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”
‘You’re just doing that because of magical power.’
Lee Han cursed Nigisor in his heart.
What kind of person thinks Lee Han is like a fuel tank for a huge flame!
“You seem to be very interested in other denominations, but it is also the Flemain denomination. “Look at your alchemy results.”
“That’s how I get it, but the grades for all other lectures are…”
Sianna pretended not to hear what was happening.
“Since you worked consistently in the alchemy workshop even during vacation, you will be satisfied if you visit the Flemain Church.”
“Not all alchemists believe in the Order of Flemain. From my perspective, Lee Han of the Wardanaz family is very interested in swordsmanship. In other words, in our church that worships the sword…”
“You are all wrong! I heard it from Guy Nando, and Lee Han said that he likes the wizard card the most. Worshiping luck…”
The priests sat down at the table and began a heated discussion.
His demeanor was polite, but the strength contained within him was stubborn and uncompromising.
The priests increasingly raised their voices as if they would never back down. Students passing by looked at me, wondering what was going on.
“Wait, everyone calm down!”
The Phoenix Tower students stopped at the shout of the Tigiling priest.
Lee Han was moved by that sight.
‘As expected, the Tigiling priest was sane.’
Even though other priests were blinded by their greed for religion, Priest Tigiling did not lose his mind.
The Tigiling priest spoke quickly.
“Let’s all draw lots to decide the order. “If we are considerate of each other, we will be able to create a schedule that will satisfy everyone.”
“indeed!”
“also…”
“……”
Lee Han suddenly wanted to return to the Blue Dragon Tower.
* * *
“hey. “Your Wardanaz is back…”
“If you talk to me, I’ll kill you.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students growled in voices full of venom.
The White Tiger Tower students who tried to talk to him without thinking about it were naturally embarrassed.
“W-what…? Oh no. I was just trying to ask! “Wardanaz is back!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students, including everyone, held on to their staffs with grim faces.
I could sense his firm resolve that he would risk a gang fight if he spoke further.
The White Tiger Tower students were overwhelmed by the spirit shown by the knights who had been abandoned by their lord and returned from the dead.
“What… what is it? Those guys? “Are you crazy?”
“for a moment. Are you going to leave those kids alone?”
The students of the three towers, excluding the Phoenix Tower, did not get along well with each other.
Normally, he would only throw a few harsh words, but if he started an argument like that right now, he had no intention of backing down.
No matter who wins, having a match is a matter of pride.
but…
“Let’s leave it alone for today.”
“why!?”
“It seems to me that Wodanaz is seriously injured.”

“!”
The White Tiger Tower students looked surprised.
no wonder…!
“Right. That’s definitely why I reacted like that…”
“The Blue Dragon Tower guys may be arrogant and rude, but it’s not honorable to mess with them when they’re so sad for their friend. “Let’s skip it for today.”
“That is correct. “We are knights.”
The White Tiger Tower students wiped their noses and looked at each other happily.
I couldn’t be more proud that we were each other’s friends.
“But Wodanaz got hurt. “Why are you hurt?”
“Didn’t you challenge the principal to a duel?”
“Yesterday, Black Turtle Top said that the principal was flying around with Wardanaz. Could that be true?”
“Wardanaz… I knew that bastard was fearless, but I never thought it would be to that extent.”
The White Tiger Tower students suddenly became silent.
“…Is that kid going to be okay?”
“what. you. Are you really worried about that guy?”
“My…what am I. It’s not? You’re not worried? “Aren’t you worried about that?”
“I-I’m not doing it either?”
While they were talking like that, the White Tiger Tower students arrived in front of Professor Garcia’s <Basic Practical Magic> classroom.
Grumble!
“Everyone, don’t you… Wardanaz!!”
“??”
Lee Han was puzzled when he saw the White Tiger Tower students being surprised.
“Didn’t you know I was here for the weekend?”
“Aren’t you hurt?”
“It’s not? “Didn’t you hear some kind of nonsense… some strange rumor?”
Lee Han looked at the White Tiger Tower students as if they were pitiful.
I can’t believe these so-called knights are fooling around with such nonsense.
“…Then why on earth did these bastards go to the Blue Dragon Tower?”
“I don’t know. “They must be crazy.”
The White Tiger Tower students gritted their teeth and sat down.
Let’s wait and see!
Meanwhile, students at the Blue Dragon Tower began to arrive in groups.
They looked next to Lee Han with gloomy faces.
Then his eyes widened when he realized that there were no Phoenix Tower students.
“Wardanaz! Priest bird… what about the priests?”
“You’re sitting over there.”
Lee Han pointed to the area where Phoenix Tower students were gathered. The priests waved their hands happily.
“Ooh, with us… are you going to sit with us?”
“Why don’t you sit with the Phoenix Tower over there?”
“…Did you guys eat something wrong?”
Lee Han was embarrassed, wondering if his friends at the Blue Dragon Tower were crazy.
But the craziness of the Blue Dragon Tower friends was only just beginning.
“Ugh! Wodanaz!”
“I thought you were going to leave us!”
“Even if we are in different towers, we are still friends!!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students clung to Lee Han’s arms and legs and began to burst into tears.
Lee Han seriously considered hitting him with a cane.
‘These kids are embarrassing themselves in front of all the other top students.’
“We will do well! “Don’t leave now!”
“I’ll clean the break room on time too!”
“Didn’t those bastards even clean the break room?”
One of the Black Turtle Tower students next to me was astonished.
What kind of trash bastards are that?
“Everyone… uh. Student Lee Han. “Can I give you some more time?”
“it’s okay. professor.”
One by one, Lee Han removed the friends that were clinging to him like removing leeches. The last remaining Guy Nando was hit on the head and pushed away.
“I’m glad student Lee Han is back. “Everyone knows, but…”
“You’re late because you’re recovering from the duel with the principal.”
One White Tiger Tower student spoke as if he knew everything.
Lee Han saw that and thought to himself.
‘Do those kids believe everything they hear?’
Would it work if I spread a rumor that ‘If you bury all your belongings in an empty lot, a spirit will come out that will grant your wish’?
“Isn’t it?”
“uh. Isn’t it?”
The White Tiger Tower students were excited. One of the Black Turtle Tower students next to me said in a pitiful tone.
“I told you so. Pathetic bastards. “It’s a dragon.”
“Tsk.”
“…It’s not even a dragon. “I was just trapped while exploring, so everyone, stop imagining strange things.”
The students were agitated by Professor Garcia’s words.
I can’t believe I was just exploring and got trapped.
Does that make sense?
“Aren’t you hiding it?”
“Shh. Let’s admit it. “If you keep asking me questions, you might get angry.”
Professor Garcia gave up saying any more and sighed.
“Today’s lecture will be held in the classroom next door. “Everyone, please follow me.”
The students moved after Professor Garcia.
Ihan asked Yoner.
“Did you give the last lecture somewhere else as well?”
“huh. “You made the classroom like a cave.”
Even if it was just for the sake of dark vision magic, I never thought I would turn the classroom into a cave.
Lee Han was impressed by Professor Garcia’s scale.
‘I wish I had seen it in person.’
…Until a huge lake appears before my eyes.
“…?!”
Gainando, who opened the door by mistake and almost fell into the lake, stumbled and tried to grab Asan’s clothes.
Asan dodged as if wondering where to catch him. Guynando swore.
Lee Han asked as he grabbed the back of Guyando’s neck as he was about to fall.
“professor. “I wonder if the magic you’re learning today is…”
“You noticed. “Student Lee Han.”
“…Is it the suboctane or evaporation of Eumidihus?”
“…Would you like to see the name of the river again?”
* * *
Of course, <Basic Practical Magic> did not teach sub-octane or evaporation.
The magic we learned today was the underwater breathing magic.
“Ah… Indeed.”
Lee Han was visibly relieved.
I was worried because I didn’t know what monsters might be in that lake.
“Everyone, please gather in groups of two. “First, try casting a spell on yourself, and once you get used to it, try casting a spell on your partner as well.”
As soon as the professor finished speaking, the Blue Dragon Tower students started pushing and fighting with each other.
“Move. “You bastard.”
“You get out of the way. “If Wardanaz gets disappointed and transfers to the Phoenix Tower because of you, will you take responsibility?”
“Should we do it fairly in order of grades? huh? “Who had the best grades with bestowing magic?”
“We have to use water element magic!”
“Because I’m the closest, I…”
“If you take one more step from there, I’ll throw you into the lake, Gainando!”
While the Blue Dragon Tower students were fighting over who would firmly hold onto Lee Han’s shaking heart and return him to the Blue Dragon Tower, the Shark Beast Priest of the Phoenix Tower spoke cheerfully.
“Ihan of the Wardanaz family. “Join me!”
“Sure.”
There was nothing that could not be done, so Lee Han nodded his head calmly.
“But why? “There must be other priests.”
“ah. “I drew the first lot.”
“……”
