Episode 495

 Are you saying that? Is what you have a snout or a mouth?

 “Both are not the same thing…”

 If you have had that experience, you should learn and prepare for higher magic to crush your enemies!

 The skeleton principal scolded Lee Han sternly.

 However, Lee Han’s expression was different from expected.

 Instead of reflecting and accepting it, he was staring at the skeleton principal in bewilderment.

 “What more can I do from here…”

 ……

 The skeleton principal was almost convinced.

 Because he was from ancient times, he was a skeleton headmaster with slightly more lenient standards for magic education, but even by ancient standards, Lee Han’s current training was harsh.

 But instead of backing down, the skeleton principal shouted.

 Even though I can’t reflect, I just make excuses!

 “No… but how can I train further here…”

 Lee Han asked in bewilderment, but the skeleton principal quickly changed the topic.

 And taking Bagrek to a suspicious place is not a wise move. If a problem arises, it may be possible to solve it, but more problems will arise.

 ‘indeed.’

 This time, Lee Han was convinced.

 Actually, taking Professor Boladi to a suspicious place might have been similar to carrying a torch into a gunpowder warehouse.

 “I’ll keep that in mind.”

 okay. Please keep this in mind. By the way… that magic criminal’s eyes are quite sharp. I can’t believe I recognize your qualities. How do you think you noticed? Horsepower amount? Or did you overhear Einrogard’s internal evaluation? Or maybe he heard rumors about what they did on vacation…

 The skeleton principal trailed off.

 As I was thinking about it, the magic criminal’s eyes weren’t particularly sharp.

 If there are that many clues, even an idiot will say, ‘Huh? You might be thinking, ‘That wizard from the Wardanaz family, there’s something unusual about that.’

 ‘I guess I should pay more attention…’

 Last time, when Wardanaz saved the knights from an anti-magic attack, the Skeleton Headmaster was also on his mind.

 Magical criminals might be interested.

 But looking at it this way, it seems that the prediction was correct.

 Actually, considering Wodanaz’s talent and accomplishments, the interest shown by magic criminals was rather late.

 He has natural magical talent, and unlike ordinary wizards, he knows how to act strategically for his own goals, and he belongs to several schools…

 If he were to become a magic criminal, he would be a talent that would cause magic criminals to shed tears of joy and celebrate.

 “ah. It’s not because of that, but it’s probably because of Mr. Serpent. “I used a lot of magic while preparing to subdue the Sea Serpent.”

 okay? Well, with your magic power, it would have been a waste to tie it up behind you.

 The skeleton principal immediately understood what was meant.

 Didn’t not only professors but also students participate in the suppression of Mr. Serpent?

 It is standard for professors to directly participate in the front lines and students help with various preparations in the back, but Wardanaz has long since moved beyond the level of an ordinary first-year student.

 Naturally, he would have been asked to help with preparations at the front lines.

 If that’s what you did… strengthen your equipment? Secure light source?

 “oh. you’re right.”

 Lee Han was slightly impressed.

 As if he were not the principal for nothing, he accurately guessed what Lee Han did as if he were there.

 “Did the professor tell you?”

 no. She didn’t ask about such details. No matter how much the Thunderwalking Professor is more sociable than the other two, he’s so annoying that it’s not good for him… So did a magic criminal approach him after seeing those magics?

 “But I don’t think it would have been very intense.”

 The entire port was colored as brightly as daylight, and it was true that Ianop was impressed by it, but Lee Han did not notice.

 Another reason seemed much more likely.

 “I think it would have been a bit much to hit the Sea Serpent with a cold arrow or a water-octane spell.”

 Suboctane? Of Eumidyhus? 

 “It’s not Yumidihus’ Suoctan, I improved it. “The professor gave me permission to use my name.”

 Hey…

 The skeleton principal was happy, showing rare emotions.

 Professor Baggrek has been pushing you around like a hunting dog on the verge of starvation, so it must have been very rewarding!

 “……”

 Lee Han almost gave in with a straight face.

 If you know that, shouldn’t you stop it?

 “I was lucky.”

 It’s not luck, it’s skill. No matter how hard you try, it is not easy to improve that level of magic to suit yourself. After all, trials make a wizard grow.

 “…It may have been possible because of the efforts made up until then…”

 no. After all, trials are necessary. Rather, it would be a shame to just pass it over even though I had such a valuable experience… Did Professor Bagrek tell you to write a book? 

 Lee Han was really embarrassed.

 Everyone, from the principal to the professors, were nothing but bastards.

 “yes. “You told me.”

 Did you tell me that in addition to summarizing the magic you improved, you should also write a book thinking about the direction you should take in the future?

 “yes.”

 okay? Professor Bagrek really cares about you.

 “……”

 Lee Han gritted his teeth as he imagined bringing the Skull Principal and Professor Boladi to the imperial court and filing charges.

 Anyway, be careful. If that magic criminal is interested in you, there is a high possibility that other magic criminals will also be interested. Normally, not a single bee will attack a fragrant flower.

 “Do not worry. “I will never be interested in suspicious offers or magic.”

 As a wizard, why are you so uncurious!

 “……”

 The skeleton principal was absurdity itself.

 We must be curious and persistently explore any magic or suggestions while ignoring the suggestions of magic criminals.

 But Lee Han did not waver.

 Because that’s what professors used to do.

 ‘That’s just noise.’

 You worked hard to fulfill the request… I hope that the experience and reward will be a good friend in your magical future.

 “I think so too.”

 Lee Han answered sincerely, thinking of the gold coins he would receive for this request.

 ‘Couldn’t we conduct magic research and experiments as cheaply as possible and leave gold coins? I don’t want to waste the money I earned with my blood and sweat on magic.’

 for a moment.

 The skeleton principal suddenly stopped.

 Lee Han flinched, wondering if his thoughts were discovered.

 “Why are you doing that?”

 Did you say you hit the Serpent with Sub-Octane?

 “I also hit a cold arrow.”

 That’s not the point… how did you fit it in?

 “?”

 Lee Han tilted his head.

 “Are you aiming well?”

 …I asked the wrong question. No matter how much you prepared ahead of time, you would have fallen behind if the monster appeared, so how did you manage to get there?

 “Ah… I had a fight with the professors because there was a minor misunderstanding.”

 ……

 The skeleton principal did not say anything and remained silent.

 Lee Han asked in confusion.

 “principal?”

 Send this to Professor Thunderstruck.

 Instead of answering, the skeleton principal wrote a note and ordered the Death Knight to run an errand.

 Lee Han was worried about what was written on the note.

 I think there was an inscription at the top that said ‘You are already dead’…

 From now on, I will never believe that you have no curiosity or interest.

 “No, it was a misunderstanding! really!”

 That’s probably true.

 The skeleton principal said sarcastically.

 How can you be such an arrogant wizard while pretending to be the most humble in the empire?

 right. I almost forgot… Tell the students who participated in the request that they can take Friday off.

 The students who remained at school were having a hard time not only with lectures but also with flood recovery work.

 However, since the other students returned from completing their requests outside, we had to give them time to rest for a day or so to unwind from their travels.

 “Are you sure?”

 Lee Han was slightly moved.

 I never thought a skeleton principal would show such consideration.

 ‘Maybe you’re trying to achieve this effect by acting like a dog?’

 Since I usually behaved like a dog, even if I was given a day off, there were times when I felt like, ‘Does the principal actually care about us that much?’

 okay. I may have to do the duty assigned to each tower on the weekends, but that’s unavoidable…

 “I’m just grateful even if I just get a day off.”

 Lee Han bowed his head and prepared to leave.

 Then the skeleton principal looked puzzled and asked.

 Where are you going?

 “yes? “Take a break…”

 You should learn magic at times like this. How many more days will you have off without lectures? sit down You said last time that you wanted to learn about Antagondals’ artifact, right? I will let you know in return for your hard work on the request.

 “…….”

 Lee Han felt a burning hatred for the magic criminals of the empire.

 They are like barbaric bastards who are shaking up the order of the empire!

* * *

 Principal Skeleton sat Lee Han down and took out the artifact captured in the last battle.

 He then took out the artifact confiscated from Ianop, and also took out an artifact he had never seen before.

 The last artifact was painted with black dried blood.

 “……”

 this. I told you to wipe it clean.

 -sorry.

 The Death Knight quickly took the artifact and came back with a clean artifact.

 The skeleton principal spoke casually.

 Last time, a criminal resisted violently. ruler. Look. These artifacts are all items made and used by magic criminals. Do you sense any similarities here?

 Lee Han immediately tried to open his mouth.

 The headmaster’s mood improved again after seeing his student’s intelligence.

 Just a moment ago, the thunderous professor had filled him with anger, but it was magic that made the wizard feel better.

 “Not only did they all use expensive jewelry, but they also had extravagant decorations. “This ring-shaped decoration on the side doesn’t have much effect on magic, but because of its appearance…”

 …Not that one.

 It wasn’t that he was crazy about some gold coins, but the sight of the student reciting the parts he hadn’t paid any attention to made the skeleton principal resist the urge to punch him.

 “You mean something other than that? “I don’t know much except that my magic power is unstable.”

 okay. I’m talking about unstable magical power. And usually wizards value it more than those useless decorations.

 “Is that so? I think the latter is more important…”

 Principal Skeleton didn’t want to hear Lee Han keep talking nonsense, so he quickly continued his story.

 Magic criminals use all kinds of methods to amplify their magical power. Among those methods, there are many that are banned in the empire…

 The skeleton principal suddenly took human form and cut off his little finger.

 The finger fell to the floor with a snap, and a crazy flow of magical energy burst out along with a bizarre pattern.

 “Is this like human sacrifice?”

 okay. The secret art of sacrificing one’s life or body has been popular since ancient times. In my view, it’s more like the struggles of incompetent people.

 “Professor Bagrek also uses blood magic.”

 right. That’s because Professor Bagrek isn’t a reach either. It would be much better if I became a lich.

 “……”

 Lee Han tried to say something but didn’t say anything.

 It was because he respected the principal’s race.

 I will clarify this in advance to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. The reason why I do not freely share these secret techniques without any restrictions is because these secret techniques are dangerous and unstable and can even kill the caster.

 “Uh… isn’t it obvious?”

 In fact, Lee Han had no complaints even if he did not teach anything to his heart’s content.

 Just because magic criminals use some bizarre method to increase the efficiency of magic, there was no law that required Lee Han to do so.

 If you don’t increase your efficiency, you won’t die…

 The guys I taught all said they were hiding it because they thought I was jealous of them.

 ‘hmm. Indeed, he is the master and the disciple.’
