Episode 468
The picnic ended with a talent show.
The one who received the most attention was the princess. Even though the princess was furious with the spirits due to the flood, she skillfully soothed them and showed them her magical skills, making her Yi Han sullen.
‘Why do the spirits who are usually so obedient run amok like crazy undead whenever they see me?’
Everyone enjoyed the picnic, so let’s go back and study harder.
“……”
“……”
Why is there no answer? Shall we have another picnic?
“Thank you for the favor!”
“I will study hard!!”
Lee Han was slightly impressed as he saw the students’ eyes burning with venom.
No matter how much Lee Han said, ‘Please study hard to avoid failing,’ it was much more effective for the skeleton principal to say something.
‘Could it be that you were planning a picnic today with this in mind?’
Hot hot hot hot!
The skeleton principal laughed happily, perhaps relieved by the students’ anger.
After seeing this, Lee Han canceled the thought he had just had.
‘I guess you were just bored.’
* * *
The <Advanced Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic> exam was conducted in a dry classroom.
The students were thrilled just by being able to sit on chairs in front of their desks and write with quill and ink.
“This is a test…!”
“If it’s a test like this, how many more can I take?”
Of course, I was thrilled until I received the problem. The faces of the students who received the problem became distorted.
Imperial wizard Tadingo decided to accurately calculate the area of the tower in order to receive research funding…
“Damn Tadingo. “You will earn it yourself.”
“Damn empire. You’re showing off so much that you only have research funds. “Why do we need to calculate area?”
“Everyone be quiet.”
Professor Alpen issued a warning to the muttering students.
The students groaned and focused on the problem.
What are the areas of the following shapes?
What is the area of the circles in the picture below?
While his friends suffer, Lee Han quickly solves the problem…
… was instead embarrassed.
‘Isn’t it more difficult than I thought?’
Unlike other lectures, this arithmetic lecture was one of the areas in which Lee Han was confident.
Of course, while my friends were studying in a hurry, I thought, ‘Tsk tsk, I should have studied normally’…
Imperial Wizard Tadingo watches the fireball fly from 1m away from the target. At this time, if the differential coefficient specified in the picture is 20 m per second, the ratio of wizard Tadingo’s eye movement angle is…
“????”
No matter how much I thought about it, it was too difficult.
I was wondering if my friends could solve this.
‘Did the skeleton principal instigate it?’
If the angry skeleton principal had threatened him with a knife from behind, I don’t know if even Professor Alpen would have been able to do anything.
Lee Han decided to stop worrying and solve the problem first. Since the time was limited and Lee Han was solving a difficult problem after a long time, he could have made a mistake.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve touched on such a difficult problem…’
Still, I wasn’t sure what I had accumulated, so I scribbled with a quill and started calculating, and somehow I got a clue.
“Ugh.”
“Crazy Tadingo bastard… Just live quietly…”
“How do I solve this…”
Despite Professor Alpen’s warning, there seemed to be nothing they could do, and sobs erupted periodically from the students.
Lee Han understood.
If it’s this difficult for Lee Han, how difficult can it be for other friends?
‘The problem is quite difficult. The results of this test will be lowered.’
Even for experienced professors, it is not easy to match the difficulty level of a test.
Lee Han predicted that after this exam, Professor Alpen would reflect and lower the difficulty level of the final.
“I will submit it.”
“Hmm… that’s great. “I was worried, but you did well.”
Professor Alpen, who received Lee Han’s answer sheet that was submitted first, glanced at it and nodded with a satisfied smile.
A normal Lee Han would have noticed a sense of discomfort in ‘I Was Worried’, but Lee Han, who was already exhausted from a tiring picnic and wasting his mental energy on solving difficult test questions, did not notice the sense of discomfort.
“stop. “Everyone, please submit.”
While I was sitting and waiting, the test was over and the students submitted their answer sheets with gloomy expressions.
The friends who submitted their answer sheets, including everyone else, rushed towards Lee Han.
“Wardanaz. “What was the answer to question 1???”
“hey. Number 1 was easy. What if I ask that? There are three, right? Wodanaz?”
“There were three!? shit. I was debating whether to get two or three… Why is that bastard Tadingo so greedy? “He will just eat whatever is given to him!”
“???”
Lee Han, who was listening to his friends’ noisy questions, felt something strange.
what?
“Two, three… what do you mean? “What was the problem?”

“How many high-quality white breads can poor wizard Tadingo eat while saving as much research money as possible?”
“When the distance between Pegasus and the ground stable shown in the picture is changing at a rate of 400 kilometers per hour, the altitude of Pegasus… wait. “How many breads?”
Lee Han definitely felt strange.
The test paper that my friends solved was very different from the test paper that I solved.
I wondered if the order of the questions was different, but that wasn’t the case. First of all, none of Lee Han’s friends seemed to have solved the problem.
“What magic is this?”
“what is that?”
“…professor. professor??”
Lee Han quickly caught up with Professor Alpen, who was about to leave, and asked.
“I think there was something wrong with the test.”
“That’s strange. Wardanaz County. The military must have gotten perfect scores, right? “What was the problem?”
Professor Alpen looked puzzled and took out the answer sheet.
Lee Han spoke calmly.
“It’s not that the test questions are strange, but I think I took a different test from my other friends.”
“ah. Was that what you said? okay. Mr. Wardanaz received another problem.”
Professor Alpen spoke as naturally as if he were saying, ‘It rained this morning.’
Of course, Lee Han could not accept it naturally. I asked back, confused by the professor’s words that destroyed common sense.
“It wasn’t a mistake?”
“Why do you think it was a mistake? “I assure you, it was definitely not a mistake.”
“…Uh, Professor. “If you take the same lecture, don’t you take the same test?”
Lee Han asked, suppressing the feeling of being an idiot for saying something so obvious.
“That’s how it is. But there are exceptions. “If you are given a problem that is so easy that you can solve it with your eyes closed, it doesn’t pose any challenge, does it?”
“……”
‘Is this person crazy?’
Still, Lee Han was very embarrassed when he encountered the calm madness of Professor Alpen Knighton, whom he thought was somewhat sane since he was a former imperial official.
‘I underestimated Einrogard again!’
Even though I promised myself that I would never belittle myself again, I was inadvertently hurt.
Lee Han blamed his own complacency.
“I see… I see. So, because I solved the problems well in class, the difficulty level of the test increased…”
“Rather, I decided after seeing how well you teach other students. “I didn’t think it would have any meaning.”
Lee Han inadvertently looked at his friends leaving the classroom.
Suddenly they seemed like enemies instead of friends.
“By the way, Professor. “Learning, challenge, etc… are all good, but evaluations include points, right?”
Professor Alpen nodded.
“Wouldn’t there be an equity issue since we will be comparing ourselves to other students?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
“oh. “As expected, you had a way.”
Lee Han was slightly relieved.
Even though Professor Alpen is not a skeleton principal, he probably just gave Lee Han a difficult problem without thinking…
“Anyway, Mr. Wardanaz received a perfect score, so he is the top student.”
“……”
‘Is this person really crazy?’
Lee Han had to make an effort to suppress the retort that crawled out of his throat.
No, I worked hard and got lucky, so I got a perfect score, but if I made one mistake, it would be immediately deducted, so what would I do if that happened…
“At the end of finals…”
“You’ll get a perfect score then too. “Do you understand that you don’t have to worry anymore?”
Professor Alpen cut Lee Han off and continued his speech. There was no special intensity in his words.
“No, that makes logical sense…”
“I thought Wardanaz-kun wouldn’t care about grades…”
“yes?”
It was the most insulting misunderstanding I had ever received since entering school.
“Well, since you care so much about your friends, it would be natural to ask. “I guess you’re asking this because you might have received special treatment?”
The coquettish old professor looked at Lee Han with a happy look, as if he were looking at a future great wizard.
Usually, a wizard with even a small talent would easily fall into the path of arrogance and self-righteousness because of that talent, but this boy from the Wardanaz family did not lose his altruism even though he had a talent like the Great Sea.
If all wizards were like this, how comfortable would the imperial officials be?
“There was no such preferential treatment, so you don’t have to worry. Solving more difficult problems than others is not a privilege. Oh, of course, if you’re a sincere and fair boy, you might think it’s a preferential treatment.”
“…yes. Anyway, I’m a bit uncomfortable with preferential treatment…”
“But no one except Mr. Wardanaz will think of it as preferential treatment. Above all, it would be more damaging for Wardanaz, who has to take numerous more lectures in his second year, to waste his time in vain. The same goes for all the people of the empire.”
Lee Han was speechless.
It wasn’t because it was logical and reasonable, but because Lee Han was astonished by the professor’s rhetoric that blamed the people of the empire to solve more difficult problems.
‘Is this person really crazy?!’
Professor Alpen ended the conversation with a kind face.
“I guess this is the reward of putting down the paperweight and the wad of paper and teaching students at Einrogard… Oops. You said too much. Let’s go now. really. Wardanaz-kun?”
“yes?”
Lee Han, whose mental strength was depleted, answered without thinking.
“The remaining lectures this semester will serve as a solid foundation for Wardanaz’s research.”
“……”
To Lee Han, the kind old professor’s face looked like a skeleton principal.

Richmond of the Shiles family sat in his room and rolled around.
At first, it was nice to be able to rest on a soft, dry bed while my friends were having a hard time, but after a while, I started to worry about them.
“professor. “Have your friends arrived yet?”
“It’ll take a while.”
“okay.”
10 minutes later.
Richmond put down the book he was reading and asked again outside the door.
“professor. “When will my friends come?”
“ah. “Can’t you just keep your mouth shut!”
Unfortunately, Professor Passelette’s other personality burst out from inside and shouted loudly.
Richmond lowered his head in surprise.
“S-sorry.”
“no. sorry. “Dirty temperament…”
“…How dirty is this!! “If you left your friends and came back, enjoy yourself!”
Before he could finish speaking, a voice with a completely different sound came out of the professor’s mouth.
Then Richmond’s guilt multiplied several times.
‘shit. ‘Wasn’t it a suggestion from the professor?’
When Professor Passelette first came to me and suggested ‘comfortable rest, comfortable warmth, and a soft bed,’ I thought it was good luck and accepted it…
As time passed, I missed my friends.
And more than anything, I was very scared of Professor Passelette, who walked back and forth as if he was talking to several people alone.
‘If I somehow throw a clue out the window… Huh?’
Richmond was surprised to see the face of a familiar friend beneath the high window.
Surprisingly, Wardanaz came to the exact bottom of the tower and was wandering around.
‘It’s here! Wodanaz! ‘Here!’
Richmond wanted to yell, but there was no way to convey the sound.
If Wardanaz leaves like this…
‘okay. Let’s make a rope using quilts and blankets. With transformation magic…’
bang!
The window flew out with a violent sound. Richmond, who was making the rope, blinked in astonishment.
Wardanaz was flying in the sky, driving a griffon.
