Episode 039
There was a saying that when a person loses one sense, other senses develop further to make up for it.
But even taking that into account, the warehouse manager’s senses were surprising.
I can’t see, but I can’t believe I caught Lee Han and Ratford.
‘ear? no. Didn’t make a sound. smell? Anyway, there are a lot of miscellaneous things here. Could it be that… there is an ability to detect magical power?’
While Lee Han was contemplating whether to fight back or run away, the warehouse manager spoke again.
“You were the principal. “Excuse me.”
“…???”
The warehouse manager didn’t even come close; he just turned and walked away.
Ratford was so scared that he was half unconscious, but Lee Han concentrated to understand the situation.
what?
‘Why did you mistake me for that crazy skeleton principal?’
If it had been another student, he would have been unable to withstand the pressure and acted unexpectedly, or made a mistake in a situation he did not understand.
But Lee Han thought persistently.
‘It’s because of magic power!’
Ability to detect magical power.
It made sense if the warehouse manager found Lee Han and Ratford hiding earlier because of his ability to detect magical power.
As the professors said, Lee Han’s magical power is at an incredibly high level.
When the blind warehouse manager detected it, there was a possibility that it would feel similar to the principal’s magic.
‘But does this make sense? Anyway, the principal…’
Lee Han didn’t completely believe it, but decided to assume it was so.
Because I couldn’t keep doing this here.
“hey. Wake.”
“Uh, uh. What just happened? how…?”
“That’s not important right now.”
Not only was there no time to explain, but Lee Han himself wasn’t very sure.
But it had a different meaning to Ratford.
Surprisingly, this boy from the Wardanaz family had even prepared a way to deceive the cellar keeper!
‘That… it’s a big deal! This guy is a real big deal!’
At this point, the rumors were somewhat underestimated.
A new student has enough magic skills to fool a warehouse manager.
“Okay, I understand.”
“?”
Lee Han was surprised to see Ratford suddenly speaking politely to him, but he didn’t have time to question it.
“Let’s move. “Don’t touch anything here.”
“Indeed… if you touch it, you might get caught, and the guy just memorized all the numbers.”
“yes. “There’s even an alarm spell.”
Lee Han was also heartbroken that he couldn’t touch the items piled up in the warehouse.
However, when I saw the principal’s evil plan, it was clear that this warehouse was a trap to catch the new students who came here without knowing what to do.
I’m sure in a week or two, there will be people who somehow got here and are caught and taken away!
‘Don’t be fooled and keep moving. ‘You have to find your way.’
Instead of obsessing over the warehouse, Lee Han decided to find a way out.
If you’re looking for a way out…!
“This way!”
Ratford put his ear to the floor and looked for where the footsteps were coming from.
It was a warehouse, but it was so large that it almost felt like a huge labyrinth.
In such a situation, Ratford’s technology for capturing sound was very useful.
“That’s great.”
“Ugh. thank you.”
“But why do you treat me with respect…?”
“Please follow me.”
Ratford took a hurried step.
If you stay in the warehouse for too long, you never know what might happen!
Lee Han said he was fearless, but Ratford was scared every moment he was here.
‘It was definitely this way??’
However, Ratford had no choice but to stop with an embarrassed expression.
I went in the direction where I heard the sound, but instead of a passageway, there was only a solid wall in place.
“Are you sure it was this way?”
“Yes… I did…”
“I think I understand.”
“!?”
Unlike Ratford, who always picked similar locks, Lee Han was from Earth. Thanks to this, the scope of imagination was much wider in this situation.
“Look here. There are parts of the wall with hand stains. “If you touch this place, it will open.”
“…!”
Ratford was surprised once again.
I was surprised by the secret door that opened in that way, and I was also surprised by the boy from the Wardanaz family who noticed it.
How did you do that…!
Grumble!

When I knocked on the burnt parts, the bricks were indeed pushed aside and a path was created.
It was a passage so long that there was no end in sight.
It was wide enough for two carriages to pass by, and when I saw the lights twinkling on the walls and ceiling, I was confident that I had found the right place.
‘at las!’
* * *
There were several rules for the workers at the top who moved the supplies needed by the magic school.
Never tell anyone how to get into a magic school.
Never talk about what you saw at magic school.
Never speak first in a magic school.
In addition to this, there were other rules such as ‘Be careful not to break the glass bottle when moving it’, ‘Do not move the scroll incorrectly’, etc., but the most representative rules were those.
The workers followed those rules more seriously than anyone else.
He didn’t want to break the rules and become a frog trapped in a wizard’s workshop.
It’s no joke, if I make one mistake, I might be stuck in a magic school forever.
That was the scary thing about magic school.
There is a reason why people in nearby villages respect and fear the magic school.
Therefore, when a priest and a beggar appeared on the other side of the aisle, the workers said nothing.
Well, it looks like it showed up!
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and Ratford were quite embarrassed.
Wagons located at the end of the aisle, and workers diligently loading and unloading luggage from the wagons.
Even though they encountered them so openly, the workers are deliberately pretending not to see them.
what?
‘Is this by any chance a rule?’
Lee Han quickly guessed the situation from the way the workers were deliberately avoiding eye contact.
There was no way a place like a magic school wouldn’t have strict security.
Since they were workers coming into such a place, it might have been natural for them not to show unnecessary interest.
‘Let’s stay calm. If I stay calm, the other person won’t even notice.’
There were only a very small number of new students who succeeded in escaping from school.
When the workers saw Lee Han or Ratford, they said, ‘Huh? There was very little possibility of wondering, ‘Are the new students escaping?’
As long as Lee Han doesn’t make a mistake…
‘The more I do this, the more confident I go.’
Lee Han spoke calmly without changing his expression.
“Can we go outside now?”
“sorry. Priest. Please wait 30 minutes. “There is still some luggage left to be loaded.”
“All right. “Can we ride together?”
“Oh my. of course.”
The worker thought that Lee Han was very kind and polite as a priest. I could have just sat at the head of the carriage without saying a word, but I never thought I would ask for something like this.
I could never have imagined that Lee Han was a new freshman.
Lee Han was too natural and had an air of elegance to be considered a fresh newbie who had just arrived.
No worker suspected Lee Han.
“……”
Ratford looked at Lee Han with eyes of respect.
If he had been subdued by force or magic, he would not have been respected this much.
How can you get what you want by deceiving so naturally?
There was no need for long, complicated words or heavy bribes. A true thief could fool people with just his eyes and posture.
‘I still have a long way to go!’
Ratford was grateful that today had opened his eyes to a new level of theft.
Sometimes, just one practical experience can teach you more than 10 years of training.
Now was that moment.
* * *
Rattling-
After the work was finished, the carriages began to leave. Of the six carriages, the carriage in which Lee Han and Ratford rode was the last carriage.
Even after all the luggage was packed, the workers didn’t say a single word. From that sight, Lee Han felt once again how scary this school was.
‘If only external workers could be managed like this…’
When you think of the place where imperial talent is trained, only warm and warm images come to mind, but Lee Han knew that things in the world were not that simple.
This magic school was like a symbol of the empire and wizards. And there were enemies, whether empire or wizards.
How disgusting this magic school must be to such enemies.
Even if they don’t go that far, there will be quite a few people who covet the treasures within this magic school.
In some ways, this level of security was natural.
‘Of course, I don’t understand why you lock up freshmen and don’t let them go out.’
No matter how you look at it, it was just the principal’s hobby.
The carriage in front stopped for a moment. Lee Han looked puzzled and slightly stuck his head out of the carriage.
“…!!!”
Surprisingly, a familiar face was riding in the front carriage.
It was the troll professor, Garcia Kim.
‘Have you been caught?’
Lee Han felt his heart sink.
But when I thought about it, I hadn’t been caught yet.
If they had been caught, the carriage would have been surrounded by now and Lee Han and Ratford would have had to raise both hands and crawl out.
Then the reason the professor got on that carriage…
‘shit. ‘It’s so twisted!’
Lee Han could guess what happened.
Professors are also human beings, so shouldn’t they go out? It was clear that that day coincided with the present.
“Outside… outside… could it be…?”
“Shh.”
Lee Han motioned for Ratford to control his expression.
“I haven’t been caught yet. It goes like this. “The village is large, and it’s dark outside, so if you get off carefully, you won’t be detected.”
Ratford nodded at Lee Han’s words.
And then I was a little embarrassed.
‘But who is the thief?’
Isn’t this something Ratford should tell Lee Han?
The carriage that had stopped started again with a clatter.
Lee Han concentrated to remember as much as possible.
Even if something happens and we fail…
‘I will never give up.’
Lee Han clenched his fists and later became embarrassed.
…Why do you run away from school late in the evening like this…
* * *
Professor Garcia carefully took the package he received from the principal with both hands.
-The emperor’s emissary will be waiting outside, so give him this completed artifact.
Professor Garcia wasn’t going to town right now.
The magic school looks peaceful on the outside, but inside it is as hot as a furnace.
In a way, it was only natural that the Empire’s outstanding wizards were gathered in one place.
Creating and delivering artifacts desired by the emperor was one of the jobs that wizards at the magic school had to do…
This time, Professor Garcia was in charge of quietly delivering the finished product.
People who don’t know anything might think, ‘It’s an offering to the imperial family, so why are they offering it quietly?’, but that was stupid.
Nothing good came from offering it confidently and loudly.
It only attracts useless flies.
Any wizard had to be able to think pragmatically.
Tuk-
“Hi!”
“Huh!”
The workers next to him tensed their entire bodies and corrected their posture when they slightly bumped into Professor Garcia.
It’s already scary because he’s a professor at a magic school, but he’s also a troll.
It was difficult to guess which of the two was scarier.
Professor Garcia chuckled. He saw it every time, but the workers’ reactions made him laugh every time he saw it.
“…Everyone raise your weapons!”
“??”
Professor Garcia was puzzled by the worker’s shout.
No matter how scared you are, isn’t it too much?
“professor! There’s a suspicious guy ahead! Get inside the carriage!”
“…!!”
Only then did Professor Garcia realize that the atmosphere in front of that street was going strangely.
‘What kind of people are they?!’
