Episode 519
After reaching a conclusion, Lee Han sent a reply.
-I’m already listening.
Are you listening?
I couldn’t see his face, but I could feel that the other person was surprised.
Lee Han resolutely wrote down the letter.
-I don’t know where I heard it, but please check again.
i get it. Let’s check it out.
Seeing as he ended it like that without asking any further questions, it seemed like the other person was cold-hearted or didn’t really trust the person who gave him the information.
‘Or both.’
Lee Han carefully asked the question in reverse.
-But why do you ask that?
Are you asking why?
‘Oops.’
Lee Han realized that he had made a mistake.
Since we didn’t know who each other was, we shouldn’t have asked unnecessary questions.
Lee Han quickly tried to control the situation.
-I was asked the same question recently. Considering the value of the information I provided, do you think you can hear this much?
Right.
People with loud voices have an advantage in negotiations.
I gave it a try and luckily the other person agreed and didn’t refute it.
That first year student seemed to have a talent for enchantment.
-I guess so.
If I listen to the enchantment, I plan to have it help me with my work next year.
“……”
Lee Han was astonished.
‘Are there only assholes in this school?’
I couldn’t tell if it was the original assholes who entered the school or if Einrogard was turning the students into assholes.
Isn’t it normal to feel sorry when you see your junior suffering at a barbaric festival?
When you see that, you think, ‘This guy has talent, I should let him help me with my work.’
They weren’t Professor Verdus’ students for nothing.
‘It is not for nothing that the term ‘Yuyusangjong’ exists.’
Lee Han vowed to maintain an emotional distance from his seniors in the Buyeo School of Magic even next year.
If we became friends for no reason, I didn’t know what else to do.
* * *
The person on the other side of the mirror was not surprised even if there was no answer from the mirror for a while.
‘Are you surprised because it’s so unconventional?’
The nameless Black Turtle Tower student probably guessed that he was not in the lower grades.
No matter how hard they tried to hide Einrogard’s lower grades, it was bound to be evident in what they said.
Therefore, it was natural to be surprised to hear that new students in the Wardanaz family were invited to participate in the work of older students as soon as they entered their second year.
Because that was an enormous privilege.
A student who has just entered second grade is given the opportunity to participate in the personal work of a senior student!
Any student at Einrogard could not help but be surprised.
However, the person on the other side of the mirror was not a criminal bound by common sense and regulations.
He was the most wizard-like wizard who could go beyond the rules if necessary.
Looking at the several students who borrowed the strength of the freshmen at this festival, the freshmen fully deserved to be called.
Ugh-
While I was lost in thought, I received a reply from the mirror again.
-What if the junior rejects the offer?
That can’t be possible. There’s no reason.
‘You find fault with me.’
The person on the other side of the mirror let out a light sigh as he saw the Black Turtle Tower student making a fuss.
I could not help but witness the jealousy that usually follows a wizard with extraordinary abilities.
Now, it was clear that this Black Turtle Tower student was also jealous of this enormous privilege.
If you are a student at Einrogard, you know what it means to have the honor of being invited as soon as you enter your second year.
-…I’m saying this out of kindness. As I said, I am a junior who studied in various schools. Couldn’t another senior invite you first?
“!”
The person on the other side of the mirror was surprised.
To be honest, a Black Turtle Tower student who was looking down on me pointed out an unexpected point.
That was definitely true.
If I were to make an excuse, the concept of listening to various schools of thought was so unfamiliar that I missed some parts…
Good point.
-yes?
I think we should negotiate in advance and split the time.
The idea was to gain advantageous time by contacting and recruiting or pressuring older students who would do such things.
Thanks, it was helpful. I think of this as a debt.
-…okay…
For some reason, the other person’s handwriting seemed a little shaky.

The person on the other side of the mirror wondered if something was going on.
* * *
‘I guess I should just stop talking.’
Lee Han sighed and put down his quill.
Certainly, Einrogard’s seniors were as formidable opponents as the professors.
He ended up getting more seriously injured while trying to steer in shallow water.
‘I should ask for compensation…’
-So what is the price?
ah. okay. I almost forgot. Open the third straw bale in the stargazer barn on the 4th floor. The professors were preparing for final exams.
“…???”
There was no further answer from the other party.
Lee Han organized the information he had just heard with a confused look on his face.
‘If it’s a 4-story stargazing barn… it’s not impossible to get there.’
There was a time when he had to go to the 4th floor for an exam, and even if that wasn’t the case, Lee Han did visit the 4th floor a few times.
It wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t go.
However, I did not understand that the professors were preparing for final exams.
‘It’s likely to be an entrance connected to another place.’
Lee Han thought this was highly likely.
Aren’t professors also fond of <Spiderweb Lake> deep underground in the main building as a shortcut?
It was clear that the 4th floor stargazing barn was also a shortcut leading somewhere.
‘I’ll have to call my friends and check.’
* * *
Ratford put down the chest, dusted it off, and sighed.
Ymirg, who had stolen the White Tiger Tower student’s bread by putting dice in a cup and guessing the cards, asked in puzzlement.
“what’s the matter?”
“Wardanaz was seriously injured.”
“What… what? Nonsense! To whom?”
If Lee Han was next to him, he would have said, ‘I could get hurt, am I the skeleton principal?’, but Ratford sympathized with his friend’s reaction.
“okay. I can’t believe it. so do i. “It looks like the festival was really intense.”
“Well, that can’t be possible…”
While the two were talking, the White Tiger Tower student who had gotten the chocolate from somewhere shouted.
“It’s a challenge again!! Imirg! This time with a card game! “I will definitely find the queen!”
“Well, can’t you stop?”
“under! You’re scared. But you can’t! What did you Black Turtle Tower guys put in your black market rules? “You said you would never run away when a match was made!”
“Well, it would be better to stop…”
Ymirg placed three cards and began shuffling them.
The surrounding Black Turtle Tower students looked at the figure with happy expressions.
As someone from a gambling guild, Ymirg had a knack for making his opponents keep challenging him no matter how much he won.
He has a knack for trapping people in the trap of thinking, ‘I just need to do a little more!’
Ratford whispered softly as he watched Ymirg shuffle the cards.
“What I just said is a secret. Wardanaz has many enemies.”
“what? Wodanaz?”
The White Tiger Tower student, who had been concentrating so hard that he hit his head on the table, raised his head at the sound of a familiar name.
My friends behind me screamed at that sight.
“What if I fall for the trick?”
“Oh, no! This is invalid! “This is invalid!”
“You’re talking like it’s invalid. it’s over!”
While the Black Turtle Tower students and the White Tiger Tower students were rushing in and fighting, a paper bird flew in from afar.
Ratford quickly grabbed the paper bird.
‘Do you by any chance need help!?’
-Ratford. There’s a place I need to check on the 4th floor. Could you please bring some trustworthy friends?
“……”
Ratford wondered just a little whether he should call his trusted friends and tie Wardanaz to the bed.
* * *
Ratford, Ymirg (Salko sent him on his behalf because he had work to do), Nilia, Assan, Yoner, and Gainando gathered on the third floor.
“uh? “What about Dergyu?”
“It’s the White Tiger Tower. “You can’t say it.”
“that’s right. Wardanaz. You are so reckless now. You have to think about what state you are in. “If the White Tiger Towers find out, there is a 100% chance they will attack.”
Asan spoke firmly.
“It’s not 100%…”
“It’s 100% correct in my opinion. no. “It’s about 120%.”
“Gainando. There is no such thing as 120%…”
“Everyone be quiet.”
Lee Han tapped the floor with his cane to silence his friends.
“The place we’re going today isn’t that dangerous, but that doesn’t mean there’s any benefit in letting our guard down. You don’t want to be stuck in school for the weekend. “Isn’t everyone like that?”
The friends nodded.
The weekend had barely arrived, and there was nothing worse than falling into a maze for no reason and blowing it up.
“Then… to your respective positions. “Let’s go.”
As this was not the first time the school had been raided, Lee Han and his friends immediately moved to find their location.
Ratford and Neilia are at the front and at the back.
Asan or Ymirg are next…
“But Ymirg. “I know you came instead of Salko, but is that okay?”
Lee Han was a little surprised that Ymirg had come.
As a half-giant, it was easy to misunderstand him due to his size, but Ymirg was one of the most moderate factions within the Black Turtle Tower.
I wouldn’t really like this type of school exploration…
“I received something.”
“To Salchow?”
Ymirg rummaged through his pocket and took out a chick.
Lee Han, who saw that, nodded as if he understood.
“I’m thinking of raising chickens to secure eggs.”
“Oh, no… I’m just raising it… It’s cute.”
“……”
Lee Han was about to say, ‘Cute things don’t fill your stomach,’ but he swallowed his words when he saw Ymirg’s fist.
When I thought about it, there was no need to go against the wishes of a friend like Imirg when I was already weak.
“Right. I raised it because it was cute. “It’s reasonable.”
“…?”
Guy Nando, who was next to him, stared at Lee Han.
Apparently, he slapped me on the back when I said I would raise a pet pig in the dormitory lounge…??
“But why did Tutanta send Imirg? “It wouldn’t be appropriate for this kind of secret practice.”
“iced coffee. Because of this.”
Ymirg lightly lifted Ihan and sat him on his shoulder.
“Honestly, it’s comfortable. thanks. “Imirg.”
It was a bit ugly, but it was also comfortable. Lee Han honestly expressed his gratitude.
“Can’t I climb on the other shoulder too?”
“uh? Uh… well, that’s okay.”
Perfect!
When Gainando excitedly tried to climb onto the other shoulder, Yoner hit him on the back of the head with a metal ladle.
* * *
“Starcatcher Barn… Starcatcher Barn… Here it is.”
First-year students carefully climbed the stairs and walked down the hallway.
It was still broad daylight, but I could never let down my guard. In fact, Einrogard was not a less scary place just because it was bright.
Sigh-
“There’s nothing?”
“Find a straw bale. “There must be a passage underneath it.”
Asan and Gainando launched a sphere of light and checked the surroundings.
“I found it! “There is a real entrance!!”
“!”
Lee Han was pleased to see that the work situation was going much more smoothly than expected.
“good job! “Let’s go in!”
“Jeong, if you really want to take the final exam…! “I might be the valedictorian of my grade this time…!”
Instead of pointing out what Guyando said, his friends remained silent.
I’m getting tired of pointing things out.
The passage under the straw bales was long and dark, but it was straight and had no traps or anything.
How long did you walk?
When the end of the passage came into view, Lee Han knew he had found the exit.
“Everyone, check each other’s invisibility magic. Did you get it right? good. “Let’s go.”
Sigh-
The friends opened the door and stuck their heads out.
There, a dense jungle that I had never seen before, even around Einrogard, awaited me.
And in the middle of the jungle…
-That guy. It’s a riot again.
-I told you to hold on until the exam!
…It was a hydra that boasted its enormous majesty, regardless of the dense jungle.
The Death Knights tried to appease the Hydra by jumping here and there.
widely!
The friends quickly came down.
Then they looked at each other with embarrassed eyes.
“…?”
“????”
Lee Han was also surprised.
Looking at the Death Knights, it looks like it’s the Skeleton Headmaster’s test…
‘Isn’t Hydra too harsh?’
“Lee Han. “Lee Han.”
Yoner whispered softly.
“why?”
“Well, the other person said he was preparing for the final exam.”
“yes.”
“…But you said the other person doesn’t know you’re a first year, right?”
“ah.”
