Episode 454
‘He must be preparing for an evil test.’
Lee Han did not trust the skeleton principal at all.
I would rather believe that Gainando said that he had been studying all week than that the skeletal headmaster was looking around the flooded landscape of Einrogard and feeling sorry for the students’ suffering.
What kind of test are you preparing for?
I don’t know what to do –
…What are you doing?
The skeleton headmaster looked at the sight of his student breaking through the several layers of magic barrier he had placed around him, as if it were absurd.
It was ridiculous that I just said goodbye and immediately swam towards him…
‘What an ignorant guy like that.’
It was even more absurd that the magic curtain, which was elaborately designed, was broken through by just ignorantly swinging magical power.
Since there is that much magical power, even such an ignorant method can be an effective method.
There is no way the Einrogard professors would have taught him such an ignorant method, so he would have learned it on his own (if someone had taught him, he should have been locked in a punishment room), but once again, he was such a ridiculous guy.
Are you from the Wardanaz family?
“The night air was nice, so I went for a little swim.”
By breaking my magic?
“There was something that was holding me back, so I gave it some strength, but I didn’t know it was the principal’s magic.”
Lee Han stuck his head above the water and shamelessly answered.
Unfortunately, the skeleton principal was much more thorough than expected.
Several layers of magic curtains are placed around the person over a fairly wide area to prevent intrusion.
I felt a thoroughness to prevent people from watching from afar.
Isn’t it too early to attack me? Okay, maybe you could give it a try.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I never once thought of attacking the principal! “If you, as a disciple, think of attacking your teacher, would you be a bastard?”
Yes, the second greatest strength is the loyalty that respects one’s teacher. Well, if you were going to attack, you wouldn’t have done it so sloppily.
The skeleton principal nodded as if he understood.
You must have been chasing after the treasure hidden in my warehouse, right? Anyway, all the students are thieves. As soon as I looked away, they started trying to rob my warehouse!
‘Then, could you please guarantee me meals, bedding, and experiment materials…’
Lee Han cursed inwardly.
He guided me halfway!
Unfortunately, I wasn’t here today to manage the warehouse.
“Then what brought you here?”
I told you so. He said he was saddened by the suffering of the students as Einrogard was submerged in water. I’m here to help the students.
“……”
Lee Han had to grit his teeth to stop himself from bursting out laughing, ‘Ha!’
‘You’re lying so insincerely.’
“Then I will be there to help you.”
okay?
The skeleton principal turned his gaze to Lee Han as if he had heard something unexpected.
Lee Han asked tentatively.
“Are you uncomfortable with my presence?”
It’s not uncomfortable, but there are times when I want to hit it.
“……”
Just kidding.
It didn’t seem like a joke, but Lee Han nodded.
If it were other students, I would have told them to stop messing around and just study, but for you… it’s probably okay. okay. Please help from the side.
The skeleton principal obediently accepted.
Thinking about it, Lee Han didn’t need to study for exams, so he thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to check out what he was going to do in advance.
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed by the acceptance.
‘what? ‘You don’t refuse.’
Even if he didn’t refuse outright, he expected the disturbed skeleton principal to grumble.
But to accept it so easily?
‘Is there another trap? Is it something I can’t recognize even if I look at it from the side? Or even if I recognize it, it doesn’t mean anything…’
As Lee Han was engrossed in his thoughts, the skeleton principal spoke in an astonished voice next to him.
What are you doing when you say you’re helping?
* * *
The skeleton principal attached a telekinetic hook to the ferry Lee Han was riding and made him quickly follow.
The ferryboat, which would have originally been driven by rowing, ran quickly after the skeletal headmaster.
The people of the empire believe that this territory is protected by a great magic barrier.
“Isn’t it?”
It’s not a completely wrong idea.
Einrogard was a huge magical presence in itself.
It is the source and source of ancient magic that has existed for longer than the history of the empire, in a place with the strongest flow of magical power in the entire empire.
Since it had never sunk during its long history, it was natural for the people of the empire to harbor illusions.
But if magic were that easy and convenient, wizards wouldn’t have sacrificed their lives for it.
The magic on Einroguard was so complex, numerous, and powerful that not even the skeleton headmaster could understand it all.
These magics sometimes collide with each other, creating unexpected phenomena, and more often than not, creating holes.
Nothing will go well if you do nothing and leave it alone. Everything needs management. Swords will rust if not cleaned, and clothes will become worn and worn out if not cared for. The same goes for Einrogard.
Therefore, one of Headmaster Skeleton’s duties was to patrol and check throughout the vast Einroguard and fix problems before they occurred.

Sometimes, we even catch students who run away…
Moreover, when a huge phenomenon like the current flood of spirits occurs, the magical order of Einroguard becomes more and more confused and eccentric.
These patrols and repairs were particularly essential.
If you see a broken or cracked building, or something out of the ordinary, speak up.
“……”
Lee Han looked at the skeleton principal very suspiciously.
The explanation was so plausible that I was even more suspicious.
‘Logically, it makes sense. But it’s suspicious.’
Is it really a coincidence that he was floating around during the midterm exam period and his eyes were shining sinisterly?
Lee Han didn’t think so.
Why is that?
“I thought it was really unfortunate that the principal was so dedicated, but outsiders looked down on that dedication.”
You are so right. They’re idiots who don’t know what’s important.
The skeleton headmaster agreed, his eyes flashing.
Then, the bricks began to stick together in the water, and in an instant, a tower was completed.
Those stupid 3rd graders. If you have summoned a being from the dark elemental dimension, you will be able to trap it well. You ran away.
“……”
Lee Han couldn’t believe his ears.
It can’t be helped. It’s a waste of a building that was built… but it will be put to good use by the next grades. really. If you want to confine your summons, remember this containment tower.
Principal Skeleton gave kind advice to Lee Han as much as he helped him with his work.
Of course, the content wasn’t very sweet.
But don’t imprison the weak ones here. Four wings, six legs, and the weight of eight castle wall cornerstones? It would be better to keep it confined to this extent.
“ah. yes.”
You can try to fix that. Fix it.
“?”
Lee Han looked in the direction pointed by the skeleton principal and blinked.
There was nothing.
“What was there originally?”
ah. sorry. You can’t see it with your eyes.
The skeleton principal spun three times in the air and shouted, ‘All students are iron heads.’
Then, an old-fashioned, flat stone house appeared in the empty air.
Can you see the crack over there? Try repairing it.
“What building is this?”
Lee Han asked as he pulled the ferry closer to the stone house.
The buildings frequently seen in schools were usually towers (many built by professors) or huts (many built by students).
Such low-height, high-cost buildings were not very popular in Einrogard.
It was old-fashioned and beautiful, but more important than that was practicality.
Even a roughly constructed hut made of wood and leather was not a big problem for a wizard who knew how to use magic.
It was a building that a bright student once built to raise monsters…
“Uh, it doesn’t look like a good place for monsters to live.”
It was a pretty building, but what was important to the monsters was a wide space to run around.
yes. So I actually built it but didn’t use it much.
‘Isn’t that very smart?’
Since then, younger students have been using it for different purposes. It must have changed a few times. Ten years ago, the Gyeokgu Club used it as a clubhouse, and five years ago, the Wizard Card Club held competitions… right? Was there a fire due to a duel before the competition started? It’s not that important. It is currently being used as a lodging for properly ‘invited’ guests from outside.
Principal Skeleton placed his strength on ‘invited’.
It seemed like he really didn’t like customers coming from outside.
In any case, since it is used as accommodation, it must be properly repaired. Among the elemental magic, you must have mastered earth, wood, and rock, right?
“no?”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
How can you say something like that when you know that Lee Han is suffering from high-level elements such as lightning, darkness, flame, and cold?
Oh my. I guess I’ll have to tell Bagrek.
“……”
It’s a joke, so don’t glare at me like that. You probably didn’t learn about trees or rocks professionally. Because there won’t be anything to write about in first grade. What about soil?
“I only know how to do the basics.”
Shape change, maintenance… Do you even know how to disassemble it? Decomposition is important.
“yes.”
Thankfully, I had previously learned <Decomposition of Rocks of the Tutanta Family> from Salco.
I didn’t master it perfectly, but I was able to use it thanks to magical power.
Then it’s not basic, you iron head.
The skeleton principal scolded Lee Han.
Being humble was not a good habit for a wizard.
Right now, you might be busy eating, sleeping, and having fun like an animal, but when you reach your second year, there will be quite a bit of building work to do. There is no harm in learning it now. But this requires some knowledge of transformation magic… Ah. I was worried for no reason.
The skeleton headmaster remembered the schools that Lee Han was listening to and canceled what he had just said.
“Uh, I’m not confident about transformation magic yet…”
Just quietly listen.
Principal Skeleton decided to dismiss 95% of what Lee Han says as cruelty from now on.
* * *
The difficulty of earth element magic was quite easy.
As any wizard lives with his feet set on the soil, it was impossible not to be familiar with it.
Moreover, unlike fire or water, earth was the closest and easiest to summon.
Other students were also able to perform magic such as bringing in dirt, building shapes, and fixing things firmly.
However, repairing buildings made of composite materials now requires controlling a variety of factors, not just the soil.
Principal Skeleton converted rocks into sand, and pushed Lee Han to be able to convert sand into rocks.
Converting cloth into steel was something I had somehow mastered, but converting hard rock into sand was not easy either.
The skeleton principal threw pebbles and sprinkled sand to help his student who was stuck in the wall.
Feel it! I feel it! The conversion just now was slow to respond. The transformation just got distracted! Pour more magic power. Anyway, you can still have some of this magic left over!
Lee Han desperately learned magic to escape the pebbles and sand hitting his face even for a moment.
And it really succeeded.
“…!”
After quickly transforming the damaged part of the stone house and making the incontinence disappear, Lee Han suddenly felt a sense of self-doubt.
Why can’t I succeed until I get it right?
‘Is it right to continue to succeed this way? It’s efficient, but…’
Good job. Those magics will be quite useful. Rocks are quite annoying to knead as they are…
‘I’m sure I can earn pocket money no matter which masonry guild I join.’
The two wizards had different thoughts.
“What’s next?”
Hmm. There was a dock on the lakeside, and it looks like there may have been some damage there as well. Let’s go there.
“yes. …?”
Lee Han nodded and was about to leave when he felt something strange.
uh?
‘Is it really just repairs?’
Are you sure you don’t do any evil plots or exam preparation?
