Episode 572
“Wasn’t that it?”
-of course.
Ikurusha had no intention of telling the first-year student, ‘Turn all the giants invisible and take them to the main building.’
What kind of person would ask someone to do such an unreasonable task?
“Fortunately, the. “I was worried about whether I should start practicing now.”
-hmm. I’m not a wizard, but I think there might be a bit of a problem there…
“???”
Lee Han did not understand Ikurusha’s words.
Do you have a problem with yourself?
‘Are you talking about the mistake of entering Einrogard?’
-Coming back to the story, of course, since we brought up the story, there is a way to get him into the main building. I know of an underground passage. Connected to the main building.
“!”
Lee Han was surprised by the unexpected method.
‘I see!’
When I thought about it, the main building of Einrogard had as many hidden side streets as its history.
Even <Spiderweb Lake>, located in the deepest basement of the main building, where the firefly resides, is connected to several places and is often used by professors as a shortcut.
For a giant who lived as long as Ikurusha, it wouldn’t be surprising if he knew of one or two underground sideways connected to the main building.
“That way…! “You are great!”
-It’s still too early to be happy. There are difficulties with this method as well.
Ikurusha began his explanation by drawing on the dirt an underground passage connected to a cave in the mountains.
If you go down along the hidden cave, you will come across a fairly old passage. If you follow this passage, you will find the underground warehouse of the main building…
‘Perfect?’
Lee Han, who was listening, tilted his head.
There was no particular difficulty felt.
“What are the difficulties?”
-The passage here is quite dangerous.
“ah. that…”
Lee Han was slightly nervous and asked a question.
“Is there such a thing as a hydra?”
-…It’s not that dangerous…
Ikurusha looked at Lee Han reproachfully.
You’re talking about something serious, but you bring up a strange example.
“I was asking seriously…”
-Then it’s more of a problem. Anyway, there are swamps and lakes around the passage, so you can see a lot of fierce guys. It’s been a while since I used it, so I need to check.
“All right. I’ll check.”
Lee Han wrote down <Check passage monster> on a piece of paper.
-The next time is when we come out of the passage, and if I remember correctly, there are a lot of students walking around around there.
“You mean seniors?”
Lee Han opened his eyes wide.
If it was a first-year student, there was no way Lee Han wouldn’t have known.
And to begin with, none of the first-year students were fearful enough to wander around the basement of the main building.
Unless you’re crazy…
‘Oops. I wandered around.’
Lee Han felt regret as the thought he had just had struck him.
“Why are the seniors hanging around there? “It’s a fairly deep underground warehouse.”
-I don’t know much about wizards, so… it’s difficult to answer that.
‘hmm.’
Come to think of it, Lee Han knew little about the lives of his seniors.
Although the skeleton principal prevented contact, there were many seniors that Lee Han secretly met…
Should I have asked more at that time?
‘Starting in the second year, you can contact people from other grades, participate in clubs, receive external requests more actively, and do your own magic research… Is this because of this?’
If you research magic, you might become a bit gloomy and end up staying underground.
Lee Han concentrated on reasoning, thinking that his seniors would be angry if they found out.
-Can we continue talking?
“yes. “Please speak.”
-The students of Einrogard are said to be iron-blooded, but if they meet a giant, they can’t help but be a bit surprised. We need to keep nearby students from coming.
“It’s difficult.”
-I think so too. This is the most difficult. If you clear the passage with force, you can somehow pass through it.
Lee Han, who was thinking about it, nodded and said.
“First, gather the giants in front of the cave. “I will find a way to keep my seniors away.”
-What do you plan to do?
Ikurusha was surprised when Lee Han took action faster than expected.
They knew full well that first-year students could not contact their seniors.
But how can you say it so easily?
“I know some seniors. “You may refuse, but I would like to ask you a favor.”
-…for a moment. for a moment. You are a first year student, right?
Ikurusha began to wonder if he had misunderstood Lee Han’s grade at the words that made him believe his ears.

-Seniors. hello. Are you there?
Lee Han returned to the secret base and played with his quill. It was a note linked to Delet.
Fortunately, the answer came back soon.
What’s going on?
-I have a question to ask, but if you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to answer. I have nothing to give you.
Ten.
-yes?
Junior, you can ask me about ten questions.
-No… you can’t do that. Isn’t this the original rule?
As I heard last time, the communication artifacts deployed in schools were based on one-to-one equivalent exchange.
Otherwise, you cannot trust an anonymous person whose face or name you do not know.
Considering what you’ve done, I can just ask you ten questions… Wait a minute.
-ah. Are you busy?
There was no reply for a moment, but soon a message appeared.
no. Just getting ready for a moment. say it.
-I don’t know how the seniors are doing, but are there any seniors staying around the underground warehouse?
Lee Han described the scenery around the warehouse that he heard from Ikurusha in as much detail as possible.
There are probably more than one or two warehouses deep underground.
ah. here. know.
“!”
Lee Han breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Direth senior understood it after hearing the explanation.
This is… um…
-It’s okay if you have trouble answering.
As the letters in the letter trembled as if hesitating, Lee Han wondered what kind of place this was.
Is it some kind of evil classroom whose name should not be known?
‘Is the devil a classroom?’
It didn’t seem to make sense, but if it were a skeleton principal, he might have captured the devil and used the entire classroom as a classroom…
It’s not that secret, um… okay.
Delet, who hesitated, eventually gave up and gave the correct answer.
There’s a small hole around there connected to the kitchen.
-yes?
So… I’m going in to eat.
There were more than dozens of kitchens in the vast Einrogard. Some places have been completely neglected or forgotten.
Among them, the kitchen that Direth mentioned had a special alert spell that set off an alarm the moment groceries were brought out.
Originally, I would have given up because it was a cakewalk, but Einrogard’s students were no slouch either.
Just go in, eat as much as you want, and leave!
…In this way, they succeeded in breaking through the kitchen’s magic and looting the groceries.
-I heard that there are quite a few seniors, but aren’t they all trying to get into the kitchen?
It’s all so they can get into the kitchen, right?
“……”
Lee Han was speechless.
As his junior’s words disappeared, Direth also seemed to have noticed it and spoke urgently.
For your information, our school of black magic doesn’t use it often.
-Uh, no. You are welcome to use it. Shouldn’t we use everything we have at school?
I told you I didn’t!
‘I need to change the subject.’
Lee Han, who figured out why there were so many students around him, asked the next question.
-Seniors. Is it possible to keep the students around him away for a while?
Junior. Is it okay if I ask why? Depending on the reason, the method will also vary.
-that is…
When Lee Han hesitated, Direth calmed him down this time.
If it’s hard to say, it’s okay not to say it. Junior. But just know this. The seniors of the dark magic school will be on your side no matter what strange things you do.
-thank you. Seniors. Actually, I’m trying to hide it by bringing in giants.
* * *
Coholti and Ogoldos, students of the School of Dark Arts, stood in the background while Direth spoke with his junior with a quill.
The reason Delet didn’t answer for a moment was because he had called the black magic students.
“My junior asked me to help him, so you guys can participate too.”
“But didn’t the principal say that you would be punished if you were caught having random contact with a new student?”
“If you don’t want to do it, don’t do it.”
At Direth’s words, Coholti looked at Ogoldos with a look full of contempt.
“You bastard who doesn’t know grace…”
“When did I say I wouldn’t do it!!”
Ogoldos was in tears.
I was just asking once, but is that such a killing mistake?
The two argued and eventually stood behind Delet.
“So what does your junior ask for help with?”
“I don’t know. You should listen. First of all, I ask why students gather in that shitty kitchen. Should I answer like this? “Are you so embarrassed?”
“There’s nothing we can do about it…”
“What do you answer when your seniors ask you why you can’t solve the problem with magic and end up crawling like a beggar?”
“no way. “I’m not a junior like that.”
Delet thought for a moment and then told the truth.
Fortunately, the junior didn’t ask, ‘Why can’t the seniors solve the problem with magic and crawl away like beggars?’
“Doesn’t any of you go there often?”
“Uh… none.”
“I… I don’t go often either.”
“……”
Dirett regretted asking without thinking.
It would be better just not to ask!
“Hmm. “I don’t know what he’s asking for.”
“It’s always like that when you’re a freshman. I also left a letter in front of the tower saying, ‘Please give us some leftover food, seniors.’ “I was naive.”
“What happened?”
Ogoldos was intrigued by Coholti’s words.
“Someone said, ‘Eat this,’ and put a rock on it.”
“……”
Ogoldos became saddened by the anecdote that was more like Einrogard than he expected.
“I should ask you to speak comfortably first. “No matter what happens, the Black Magic School will be on your side…”
“Is that good? “Wouldn’t you be impressed?”
“Wouldn’t it be rather burdensome?”
“Shut up.”
Ignoring the chatter behind him, Delet moved his quill.
Ogoldos and Coholti both waited for a reply with eyes that were half expectant and half worried.
‘I guess they won’t go to another school just because it’s burdensome…?’
thank you Seniors. Actually, I’m trying to hide it by bringing in giants.
“……”
“……”
There was silence in the workshop for a moment.
Coholti rubbed his eyes and checked again. But the word ‘giant’ did not change.
“What… what?”
“Isn’t it written incorrectly?”
“What on earth should I do to bring the giant back?! Rather, why are you trying to hide it!?”
Delet, who was listening to the loud conversation between his classmates and juniors, closed his eyes and was lost in thought.
Then, it flashed and the quill flickered.
-It’s not that surprising.
“…no. no. no…”
“That’s not true! “What kind of bravado…!”
Coholti and Ogoldos were astonished by Direth’s bravado.
No matter how much you want to maintain your dignity as a senior, you just pass it over without asking?
“everyone.”
“uh?” “yes?”
“Shut up.”
“……”
After shutting them up, Delet continued his story.
-Hidden giants is a common thing.
Is that so??
-of course. Don’t look down on your seniors. Because they are wizards who are well accustomed to this kind of work.
Since I will be meeting my juniors less often from next year anyway, I boldly decided to write a letter.
thank you! Please take care of it!
After hearing his junior’s answer, Direth inserted the quill into the inkwell.
Then he looked at the other black magic students and said.
“ruler. “Both of you, please suggest a way to prevent students from entering the room where the giants are hiding.”
“……”
“……”
