Episode 477
Kettle couldn’t stand it anymore and started swearing.
Professor Verdus protested his student’s rude behavior.
“How rude!”
“You’re the one who’s rude! “What kind of reward is that?”
“It’s a reward!”
“Strictly speaking, it is not compensation…”
When Lee Han muttered next to him, Professor Verdus shouted in surprise.
“Isn’t that compensation?! why!?”
“Uh… um…”
Lee Han wondered how to explain.
If it were an ordinary person, it would have been easy (in fact, if it had been, there would have been no need to explain it), but Professor Verdus is a person that ordinary people would never understand.
“Compensation is originally divided into whether the recipient needs it or not. “No matter how good the item is, if it is useless to the recipient, there is no compensation.”
“But everyone likes the opportunity to work in my workshop, right?”
I saw Kettle fall down holding the back of his neck.
However, Lee Han’s innate patience was not shaken by Professor Verdus’ words. Lee Han answered calmly.
“Even if I work in the professor’s workshop, it is not easy to utilize my abilities because I lack them.”
“ah! “I guess so!”
Professor Verdus was immediately convinced.
Well, Lee Han was only slightly better than the other stupid students, but compared to Professor Verdus, he was an unfortunate student who still had a lot to learn.
Even if you were to lend Professor Verdus’ workbench to such a student, it would be difficult for him to use even a hundredth of it.
“I forgot you were stupid.”
“it’s okay.”
Kettle burst into laughter at Professor Verdus’ answer.
Is that what he would say in front of his disciple who came all the way to the underground punishment room to rescue him?
‘Why do evil people live happier in the world? People like the principal and Professor Verdus live happily, but why do good people have to suffer like that?’
Kettle felt heartbroken at the sight of a good first-year junior suffering.
“You can take care of something else.”
“Anything else… Well, what else can you do if you’re stupid?”
As Professor Verdus was about to lose his mind, Kettle hurriedly shouted.
“Seonggak-gwan underground warehouse! “Ask me the key to Seonggak-gwan’s underground warehouse!”
Professor Verdus gave a very blatant look of disapproval. When Lee Han saw that, he suddenly became interested.
“Where is it?”
“A place where Professor Verdus’ favorite reagents and materials are collected!! “It’s a place that never opens even when my friend kneels like that and grabs my ankles!!”
“It’s a waste.”
Professor Verdus grumbled as if it was obvious.
Kettle shouted in anger.
I was so scared that Lee Han might just open it.
“hey! If you don’t get the key to that, don’t pretend you know me. Don’t even go anywhere and call me your senior! Don’t even tell me that Einroguard came out! “Einroguard doesn’t need a brat like you!!”
‘It’s really unfamiliar to be called a fanatic.’
Lee Han only hung out with his friends, but when a senior asked him, ‘Why are you such a nice person and such a pushover?’, he felt very awkward.
If I had friends, I might not have believed my ears.
“sorry. professor. “My senior said I had to get the key.”
“It’s a shame…”
“But as a junior, I can’t not listen to what my senior says. Then you can’t open it. “The professor is still trapped here.”
“Still, it’s a waste…”
Professor Verdus groaned in pain, but Lee Han held firm, selling his senior’s name.
In the end, Professor Verdus gave in.
“okay. I’ll give.”
“thank you. “I will write well.”
“for a moment!!”
Kettle shouted again.
Even though I received the key, there was a sense of desperation that I could never leave it alone.
“I promise you that if you work outside of class hours, I will let you choose those hours! And if you work separately, specify exactly what you will be paid in return!”
“Work is fun, so do you need separate pay?”
Kettle ignored Professor Verdus’ question and said what he had to say.
“Did you hear!? Think carefully now! Do you think there will ever be a chance for Professor Verdus to yield and swear in the future!? “How much you take away today will determine your future life as an Einroguard!”
Kettle’s eyes grew red as he remembered some of his friends who had studied under Professor Verdus.
All his good and considerate friends fell away, and only a few crazy geniuses were able to survive under him.
I couldn’t stay still when I thought that this crazy freshman would end up like that.
“Make me swear unconditionally! Even with a knife pointed at your throat!”
“sorry. professor. “My senior told me to swear.”
“Why is he doing that?”
Professor Verdus grumbled.
I couldn’t understand why these oaths and contracts were necessary.
Einrogard’s school of bestowal magic is doing well just because of their passion for magic and their respect for each other.
“I swear that from now on, when I ask my disciple Yihan of the Wardanaz family to do a job, I will give him a choice first…”
Professor Verdus, who was swearing, looked at Lee Han and asked.

“But it doesn’t mean anything, does it? “You like working.”
“Yes. professor. Actually, it doesn’t mean anything. I just swear to satisfy my senior. Even if I had the choice, would I refuse? haha.”
Lee Han said inwardly, thanking Kettle.
Thanks to that senior who was locked up in the punishment room, Lee Han was able to get rid of everything he wanted one by one without even putting his hands on it.
“…If I am asked to do something, I will pay the appropriate salary… I will negotiate the salary before ordering it, and it will be done by my student, not me…”
Kettle took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes. Lee Han asked in confusion.
“Are you crying?”
“You were mistaken because the air was damp due to the spirit flood!”
“What nonsense…”
“Focus on your oath! Don’t miss a word of what Professor Verdus says! And don’t trust the professor!”
“Hmm.”
Lee Han felt sorry.
If it weren’t for Professor Verdus’ ears, I wanted to say, ‘Sir, would I believe you are crazy?’
However, since it was in front of Professor Verdus, Lee Han had no choice but to act like a good student.
“The professor probably didn’t have any bad intentions…”
“Ugh, wow.”
Kettle almost collapsed again.
* * *
Still, thanks to Kettle, Lee Han was able to make a few more oaths.
After pledging not to visit without permission during vacation, Lee Han looked at Kettle with eyes dripping with respect.
‘After all, you’re not a senior for nothing!’
Kettle was my first time meeting an Einrogard graduate, but I never thought I would feel so reassured.
Lee Han now seemed to understand why Einrogard was considered the best educational institution in the empire.
“Huff… gasp. Okay… go now. “Never trust a professor.”
Kettle gestured with a tired look on his face.
“Can’t we help you escape too?”
“I can’t. “Professor Verdus, at best, you were caught stealing from the principal…”
“I said I didn’t steal it!”
Professor Verdus ran around protesting, but Kettle ignored him.
“…I was caught while having an accident outside. Even if you escape, they will immediately come after you. And if you get caught…”
Kettle trembled.
He didn’t say anything, but his actions showed how scared he was.
“Shall we tell the principal?”
“You’re good at telling jokes.”
Kettle chuckled.
The joke told by a first-year junior was more gutsy and funnier than I expected.
I can’t believe you made a joke like that against a sky-like skeleton principal.
“While we’re talking, please tell me to improve the environment inside.”
“yes. All right. More senior than that. “I brought the dinner that I promised outside.”
Lee Han opened his backpack and began to take out the groceries from inside.
I brought plenty of preserved foods such as canned beef and canned fruit, as well as convenience items such as sugar, tea leaves, and coffee powder, so that I could eat them in my cell.
“This is bread I baked this morning, so it would be best to eat it right away. “I also brought some honey.”
“…Uh, where did you turn?!”
Kettle asked back in surprise.
No matter how much I thought about it, these were not items that a first year student could obtain.
If they had gotten something like that, they wouldn’t have had enough to eat, but they brought it here.
Even if you’re nice, isn’t this too harsh?
“hey. What will your friends say if you give me something like this! Just take it back.”
“yes? “It’s okay because we have enough anyway.”
“…???”
Kettle was confused.
Enough?
‘I don’t think you’re lying, but what is it?’
It made me wonder if a group of first-year students had robbed the kitchen.
But even if it were, it wouldn’t be to this extent…
“Seniors. Please let me know that you left it at the school as you promised.”
“ah. It did.”
Kettle, who was confused, came to his senses.
When I thought about it, this junior was someone who had been in contact with Kettle since the character education lecture.
At that time, I never thought that I would get through this punishment room and succeed in the transaction…
“You’re such a thorough guy, why on earth do you believe that? “You can’t trust the professor.”
“haha. “But you are still a professor.”
Behind him, Professor Verdus nodded in agreement.
Kettle sighed briefly.
No one can be perfect.
Although this junior had great magical talent, he also had a very fatal weakness in Einroguard.
To trust a professor like that…
“Take this. This is the location of the room me and my friends used. “There will be something useful left.”
Lee Han bowed his head and accepted the map Kettle held out.
It was a worthwhile reward for coming this far.
“thank you!”
“I should be the one to thank you. Thank you Sasik. Eat well. “I need to stay here for a while longer…”
Kettle took a bite, looked at Lee Han, and spoke.
“Don’t be like me.”
“All right. “I will be careful when using magic outside.”
“no. You can use magic outside to cause trouble, but don’t get caught. “I was caught.”
“……”
‘I don’t think you reflected on it…’
Lee Han thought to himself. Professor Verdus, who was listening next to me, said.
“I need to transform.”
“yes?”
“I need to transform. You promised. “If you come to rescue me, I will be a goat for a week.”
“……”
Kettle cast a spell while spitting out Professor Verdus’ abusive language in his mind.
pop!
“Then we’ll go!”
Meeee-!
‘When the principal comes, I’ll definitely blame it on that guy!’
The goat, or rather Kettle, glared at Professor Verdus as he left, burning with revenge.
If the skeleton principal comes and asks, ‘Why is the punishment room like this?’, he will definitely say, ‘It’s because of Professor Verdus!’ I was thinking of shouting, ‘Meeee!’
* * *
“everyone. “The flood is over.”
Ah… then release me…
When Lee Han returned to the library and declared with a tired face, all the students were surprised.
“No way, no way…!”
“Wardanaz, did you solve it?!”
“hey. Don’t you remember what Wardanaz said last time? “She kept telling me not to get involved with her.”
Angago scolded the Black Turtle Tower student.
“I did solve this problem.”
“……”
Angago glared at Lee Han.
This bastard said the other day, ‘Do you think I solved all of Einrogard’s problems? He kept berating me by telling me to ‘don’t get involved’!
“How did you solve it!?”
Don’t you think you can release me and talk about the wizards…
“for a moment!”
Salko looked around.
Then he made an expression of admiration as if he understood.
“I respect you. Wardanaz. “You sacrificed the prince?”
“It’s not.”
“It may have been a painful choice, but it was an unavoidable sacrifice. “It will be okay soon.”
“I didn’t offer it.”
Release it… Even if you release it and talk about it…
“okay. If you say that, respect…”
Gainando, who came back from secretly eating a snack, glared at Salco.
Who should I sacrifice?
“no!?”
“Why are you surprised? what?”
“Then who did you sacrifice…?”
Lee Han spoke in a voice filled with fatigue.
“I just hit it with a straight attack. “I went to the spirits and persuaded them.”
grass…
Tanju, who was about to complain to be released, closed his mouth in disgust at Lee Han’s words.
What kind of wizard is this crazy!?
