Episode 544
Lee Han paused for a moment and responded immediately.
“That’s right. “There are a lot of crazy people in the world.”
“Couldn’t it have been destroyed by Gonadaltes?”
“Maybe so.”
“Gonadaltes is particularly nervous these days.”
Professor Verdus put down the artifact that looked like a wrench and shook his hands.
“It’s the same thing when you locked me up last time. “He kept getting angry.”
“That’s right. “I don’t understand this.”
“Actually, I know why.”
“oh.”
Lee Han was surprised.
Professor Verdus knows why Headmaster Skull is so angry?
‘You mean you were able to figure that out?’
Actually, if you look at the real reason, Professor Verdus’ good student accidentally touched the skeleton headmaster’s belongings, but there’s no way he could know that…
And other than that, Professor Verdus did a lot of things that upset the headmaster’s temper.
But the professor himself had the ability to figure it out.
indeed?
“It’s because it’s the end of the year.”
“yes?”
“When the year ends, the imperial officials bother me. “Why did you spend the money here, why did you spend the money there?”
“aha.”
Lee Han understood what he meant.
Einrogard did not charge any admission or tuition fees from students or their families.
It was a world away from the other magic schools in the empire that charged huge admission or tuition fees that would surprise even the most noble families.
Of course, Einrogard’s operating funds did not fall from the sky. As the headmaster of Skeleton was the lord of Einrogard, he had to run from place to place to raise funds. As Lee Han had been there a few times, he knew some of the hardships.
Donations from various notables and noble families, the emperor’s personal support, a bag of strangely suspicious-looking gold coins taken from the skeleton schoolmaster’s safe (usually accompanied by articles in the imperial newspapers about so-and-so criminals disappearing), etc. .
Among them, one of the biggest ones was the support money officially provided by the empire.
An area of fierce competition where bureaucrats are trying to cut down and skeleton principals are trying to increase in any way possible!
Naturally, at the end of the year, the imperial treasurers got all worked up and tried to cut the next year’s budget.
‘I’ll have to be even more careful.’
Lee Han vowed that if he ever had to steal something from the skeleton principal, he would have to be careful not to get caught.
What could have been a day in the punishment room could have lasted a week.
“Take this.”
“What is this?”
“What we’re going to do in today’s lecture. “I’m going to make clothes for winter.”
When I opened the chest, there were various reagents inside.
Give it fire properties, repel cold or wind, etc.
The weather in Einrogard was getting colder as the end of the year approached.
Students made thick coats by adding rags or carried around hot alchemy liquid that did not cool easily in glass bottles, but it was not an easy task.
There was a magic like <Grant latent heat>, but in a situation where you had to keep going back and forth on campus, even this was almost a luxury…
In times like this, what was useful was a simple artifact that engraved magic into the object itself.
Because I was able to maintain it much longer without having to cast a separate spell.
‘…But can Professor Verdus think of that?’
“Is this what the professor thought??”
“yes? “I thought you would notice!”
Professor Verdus answered as if he had been waiting. The voice was full of resentment.
“How could I have chosen something so boring? Of course not. Professor Garcia ordered it! If I don’t, they’ll destroy my workbench. “How can people be so cruel?”
“no way. The professor misheard. “Professor Garcia is someone who can’t even kill a fly.”
“no! “I heard you heard correctly!”
Professor Verdus jumped up and down, but Lee Han pretended not to hear and ignored him.
* * *
“…So today, I’m making winter clothes for you guys.”
When Professor Verdus grunted, the students were surprised.
They looked at Lee Han and shouted at the same time.
“Did you threaten the professor, Wardanaz???”
“……”
While Lee Han was speechless, Professor Verdus explained.
“no. “Professor Garcia threatened me.”
“no way. Don’t lie, Professor. “How could Professor Garcia threaten you?”
Giselle suddenly became lost in thought at Angago’s words.
‘You can do it… right?’
Professor Garcia may have been one of the most good people, but in fact, if you remove any preconceived notions, he was a person who could threaten anyone.
“It’s real! really!”
When Professor Verdus got upset, Lee Han calmed him down again.
“professor. calm down. “If the students don’t finish it today, the professor’s workbench may be destroyed.”
“yes.”
Although he didn’t bat an eyelid when students studied magic for 25 hours a day, Professor Verdus, who valued his workbench, immediately came to his senses.

“ruler. “Among the things you wear in winter, the one that can be imbued with magic is…”
Professor Verdus explained various types of clothing that can be imbued with magic, including hats, scarves, coats, capes, vests, sweaters, and shirts.
“What about gloves?”
“You can engrave it.”
“oh. Even the gloves…”
When my friend tried to take notes, Lee Han stopped him and asked again.
“Is it possible at our level?”
“uh. How many circle spells did you use? “Can you use Circle 4?”
“Wardanaz is probably possible…”
“Shut up you idiot.”
Professor Verdus, who can complete mental calculations for his artifacts in 0.1 seconds, but can only guess with his fingers what level his students are at, barely finished his thoughts.
“That won’t work.”
“Well, it might be difficult because the gloves are small.”
“It’s not difficult and you guys are stupid.”
“……”
Some White Tiger Tower students whispered things like, ‘Professor, can’t you secretly throw him in a snowbank?’
Meanwhile, Professor Verdus finished explaining the possible clothing attachments and even explained the magic that could be cast on them.
“<Latent heat grant>, <Windproof grant>, <Cold resistance grant>, <Snow skin grant>, <Condensation resistance grant>… This should be enough, right?”
“Is there something we didn’t learn?”
“huh? “You can use this opportunity to learn something new.”
“……”
Some White Tiger Tower students began to advance their plans, thinking, ‘If we do really well, wouldn’t we be able to throw them into a snow hole?’
‘for a moment.’
Lee Han, who helped Professor Verdus prepare for his lecture, was the first to notice something strange.
“professor. “Even if I’m not making a semi-permanent artifact, I’m carving magic into it so that it can last for a long time. Can you withstand it with the durability of regular clothes?”
“I can’t stand it. So you have to use special fabric or leather.”
“ah. “Have you prepared anything in advance?”
Lee Han was slightly surprised.
I had no idea that Professor Verdus had something like that in the classroom in advance.
“I don’t have any?”
“yes?”
“doesn’t exist. “You guys have to save it.”
“……”
“……”
At that moment, a strong cold wind blew outside. It was an eerie sound, as if a ghost was making it.
“Where do I get that now?”
After receiving the question, Professor Verdus scratched the back of his head.
“Your seniors all took care of it, but you didn’t? “What’s left of what you bought last year?”
“We are in first grade.”
“I know. So, what’s left of what you bought last year?”
‘He’s not usually crazy.’
Lee Han checked the book, using the conversation between Professor Verdus and the students like white noise on a gramophone.
Leather and fabric that can be used…
“professor. How about double-headed cow leather?”
“It’s enough to cast the magic I mentioned earlier.”
“hmm. I have two boxes, but these won’t be enough, right? “I guess Vasala cloth won’t work.”
“That works too. “It’s just the bark of the basala stem collected in winter.”
“ah. I heard it’s a winter mountain. “What about wool?”
“Not a certain amount.”
“The one made from the fur of mountain ranger sheep?”
“what? Do you have any wool like that? give it to me!”
Professor Verdus was surprised to discover that there was wool from mountain range sheep.
Such high-quality fabric was a waste of time for the rags students wore.
Lee Han lightly ignored it and compared the fabrics he had.
Angago, who was listening next to me, did not understand, so he thought about it carefully before speaking.
“Wardanaz. hey. Wodanaz.”
“?”
“Are we going to rob the principal’s warehouse now? Come with me.”
“…no. “I collected it.”
At Lee Han’s words, not only the White Tiger Tower students but also other tower students burst into laughter.
“okay. okay. Wardanaz. You must have collected it. “Let’s keep it that way on the outside.”
“So when are you going to go?”
“……”
Lee Han suddenly became concerned as he wondered if his image among his friends might have become similar to that of a robber.
“I collected it, you crazy people.”
“No… how do you collect it?”
“for a moment. Wardanaz Do you know… I got it. Are you repeating a grade? Actually, 3rd grade…”
Perfect!
“I worked and collected money, you bastards.”
Lee Han said in bewilderment after hitting his friend on the head for talking nonsense with his cane.
“Work… work for you?”
“okay.”
“Professor’s work? Is it possible to save that much with that?”
The friends were buzzing.
It was not because Lee Han was a natural robber, but because it was physically impossible for him to have that amount of cloth.
We enrolled together for a year, but unless we lived on our own for several years, how can we save up that amount?
“I got it from my seniors too.”
“?”
“????”
The students were all in doubt.
Seniors.
…Can I meet my seniors?
Is that often enough to be a deal?
‘hey. ‘Isn’t Wardanaz really a third year student?’
‘But why are you leaving out the second year?’
‘It feels more like a third year than a second year.’
Professor Verdus urged Lee Han.
“If you have the ingredients, start quickly. “I have to do it today so Professor Garcia won’t destroy my workbench.”
“All right. professor.”
“that’s right. “What about the wool of the Mountain Breaking Sheep?”
“You guys, I’m going to the tower, so please follow me.”
Lee Han again pretended not to hear and left the classroom with the White Tiger Tower students.
* * *
Angago, who was working hard to lift and move the chest, suddenly had a question.
“hey. Wardanaz. But it’s the Phoenix Tower, so why are we moving it?”
“Aren’t you using ingredients?”
“…Uh… Yes, priests also use it.”
“So you don’t use ingredients?”
“…You can just move it…”
Giselle remained silent as she moved the chest from a distance.
When the situation was unfavorable, it was strategically correct to calmly look for opportunities.
“hmm. The amount may not be enough. I need to bring more. Rowena. If you dig about 2 meters into the ground here, there are some boxes. “Take it out and bring it back.”
“oh. yep.”
For a moment, the thought of a squirrel hiding acorns here and there passed through Nilia’s mind, but she didn’t say anything.
“Why did you dig it up like that?”
“Because there is not enough space to store it. There are limits to the lounge or private room. hmm. “Should I get a warehouse?”
Lee Han seemed to understand why his seniors built warehouses in secret places outside, risking looting and theft.
When I first came to school, I thought a private room or common room would be enough space, but that wasn’t the case.
Even if we just stocked up on food and supplies, we quickly ran out of space. In addition, people like Lee Han who had a lot of magic to study had more supplies to prepare.
‘The base I visited last time wasn’t very accessible… Should I just keep it in the hut where I raised the basilisk?’
Nilia, measuring the amount, tilted her head and asked.
“for a moment. Isn’t there enough? Why more… Ah. i get it.”
Nilia looked at Lee Han with meaningful eyes and tapped him with her elbow.
“yes. To my friends…”
“You want to share it!”
“…Because I have to sell it.”
There was silence between them for a moment.
Lee Han nodded and spoke again.
“You could see it as giving something away.”
“no…”
