Episode 578
Fortunately, the skeleton principal did not react much to the Death Knights’ strife.
It was clear that he was thinking deeply about what would happen when he faced the emperor.
Hmm… I’m anxious.
After thinking deeply for a while, the skeleton principal let out a sigh.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t see a future that would end well when I took Li Han to meet His Majesty the Emperor.
“Wouldn’t it be okay if I speak kindly to student Wardanaz?”
Iunrade watched carefully and spoke carefully.
In fact, Iunrade didn’t quite understand why the skeleton principal was so worried.
“Of course, even in the second semester, I performed excessively for a freshman, but I think they will be lenient and understand that. And working during summer vacation was really unavoidable, right?”
-I. Mr. Iunrade. You know we caught Mr. Serpent, right?
-For your information, there is more than that.
“yes?”
Iunrade paused.
Iunrade thought for a moment and immediately spoke.
“If I speak well to the Wardanaz students and everyone shuts up, how will His Majesty know?”
-You’re not a Einrogard graduate for nothing.
-Look at those terrible thoughts.
The Death Knights whispered, but Iunrade paid no attention.
Isn’t this all we do to survive?
People who were slow to react could not survive in Einrogard.
Of course, I was planning on cracking down on joining. In the first place, you don’t have to worry about making a mistake with Wordanaz…
There have been many different types of geniuses in Einroguard so far, but there are very few geniuses like Lee Han who are quick-witted, sociable, and versatile in all fields.
Since most geniuses are people whose abilities are sharply focused on one field they like, Lee Han’s roundness was even more noticeable.
“Wouldn’t that be even better?”
That’s why you can’t be a senior.
‘no…’
Iunrade felt unfair.
Even after I graduate, I have to be scolded for my grades?
-master. I wonder what you are worried about.
-you’re right. Wardanaz-gun will cooperate well if you explain the situation.
You guys might be right.
The skeleton principal readily acknowledged.
Other people were even more surprised by that attitude.
But his madness is difficult for a good archmage like me to predict…
‘What a ridiculous slander.’
Iunrade snorted inwardly.
The skeleton principal is madness to others.
Moreover, to a good freshman like Wardanaz?
You must have been cursing me in your head just now. Iunrade.
“Oh, no!”
I understand. It’s an unknown level for someone like you who hasn’t even made it to the senior level. But to me, his madness…
bang!!!
There was an explosion sound in the front yard of the main building.
The principal, Iunrade, and the Death Knight approached the window and looked down.
A golem that seemed to have been cobbled together from all kinds of scrap materials was moving forward, making strange noises.
-Professor Verdus. Please help! He must be stopped!
-why? It’s going well. If I stop now, will I hit the golem?
-If we continue like this, won’t we destroy everything in our path?
-Why are you doing this now? You probably knew it too.
-No, the professor said it was okay! He told me to make it because it was okay…
-okay. Are you okay? Ignore it and make a golem. Don’t stop.
“…Uh, that. “Did you make a golem out of scrap materials??”
Iunrade could not believe his eyes.
During his first-year final exam, he took a test on making improvised artifacts out of discarded and broken items, but at most he was limited to water purification artifacts or location detection artifacts.
No matter how low-level and temporary it is, a first-year student can create a rolling golem equipped with a power source.
That too with scrap???!
Did you see it?
The skeleton principal said without surprise.
That’s his madness.
Wardanaz’s problem was that even if he seemed fine, he would do crazy things whenever he got the chance.
If he went to the imperial palace and a government official made a joke, saying, ‘I learned from Lord Gonadaltes, I will catch the devil, haha,’ he might say, ‘Okay, I will catch him,’ and do a sword dance.
‘And the emperor and officials will hold me responsible.’
Thinking that everyone from officials to the emperor would say things like, ‘What on earth did you teach them?’ and ‘That shameless archmage is abusing his students in an ancient way’ made me feel so mortified that my heart throbbed.
Why do you say it’s your fault that your student does crazy things?
“Shouldn’t you stop it? “If that golem explodes, there will be an accident!”
The reason why the golem was dangerous was because of its power source.
In order to move such a large body, the amount of power required inevitably increased, and of course, a fairly powerful artifact had to be used as a power source…

…If you make even the slightest mistake or touch something incorrectly, articles like <An explosion has occurred at the Golem Guild again!> or <The City Committee announces that the Golem Guild must be expelled to the outskirts of the city…> will just be posted in the Imperial Newspaper.
Leave it alone. It will take care of itself.
“No… I have to meet Your Majesty soon, but I have to stop you!”
No matter how I thought about it, experiencing an explosion a few weeks before meeting His Majesty couldn’t have been good emotionally.
How much better would the atmosphere be if you faced the emperor and said, ‘I was involved in an explosion a few weeks ago.’
Gigigigigi-!
However, the golem lost its strength and came to a complete stop, ignoring Iunrade’s cries.
A new member of the Wardanaz family, who was standing on a golem that had stopped in the front yard of the main building in the distance, landed with a curse.
In his hand was the golem’s power source.
Surprisingly, that freshman pulled the power source out of the moving golem’s body!
It was an incredible feat that was hard to believe even when seen in person.
-I will never trust anything the professor suggests again!
-uh? why? Why are you angry? Didn’t you make the golem thanks to me?
-Is this what you made? We almost died together!
-You stopped it well, right?
The conversation ended there.
This was because the other friends quickly stopped Lee Han, who was trying to attack Professor Verdus.
-You hold back! Wodanaz!
-It’s the professor! professor!!
* * *
Lee Han once again thought about what he had thought hundreds of times since entering Einroguard.
‘You trust the professor!’
“…Cheer. Wodanaz.”
“But the exam is over.”
“okay. “The exam is over.”
It was a mistake to accept Professor Verdus’ suggestion during the final exam.
-That’s it. professor.
-uh? Is this it?
-…Didn’t you make it well? It’s a bit of a defense, but…
-no way. Let’s make something more fun. You can make it.
-for a moment. Why did you just let the other students pass, but only me…
-Look at this. Do you see this? What is this?
-I do not know?
-This is the part I used as the legs of the wooden golem. This? It’s the arm of a bronze cleaning golem. Also… here it is. This is a golem helmet for close combat. ruler. got it?
-…I do not know??
-you idiot? Let’s combine these to make a golem!
-…yes?? Is that possible? I’ve never made a golem before, and I wonder if golems aren’t supposed to be made in rags like this…
-are you okay. are you okay. ruler. There are some magic circles left here. Putting these pieces together is much easier than making it from scratch.
-It’s certainly easier to assemble than making something from nothing, but wasn’t that when it was originally made from the same golem? I heard that if you combine parts of different golems to create something, there may be some adverse effects. No, it wouldn’t work in the first place…
-no. are you okay. It looked okay.
-Are you really okay?
-then!
-…Then I’ll give it a try…
Lee Han, who fell for Professor Verdus’ evil and irresponsible whispers, somehow tied, merged, and connected parts of different golems.
Errors that occurred due to differences in the calculation of the magic circuit or magic circle were simply crushed by adding magic power to that part.
After making various repairs to the half-broken power source, I injected magical energy into it with the intention of making it work…
-It’s moving! No, I really didn’t think it would move…
-I told you to make it.
-for a moment. professor. The golem moves as it pleases, what are the activation words and commands?
When creating a golem, it was basic common sense to insert activation words or commands that could activate and control the golem.
In the case of a chimera golem made up of different parts like this one, Professor Verdus must have figured it out in advance.
-There is nothing like that?
-yes?
-There is no such thing. I connected different parts, but there’s no way something like that would happen.
-Then how do you command it?
-Now I have to make it.
-…Is it moving now?
-Make it from above and put it in.
-I never learned that!
-okay? Book here.
-Professor Verdus. Please help! He must be stopped!
-why? It’s going well. If I stop now, will I hit the golem?
…In the end, these things happened.
After contacting the golem’s magic circuit and infusing it with magic, it stopped its movement with force and was barely able to extract the power source. If it weren’t for it, the forest would have been destroyed, Lee Han would have been destroyed, or Professor Verdus would have been destroyed.
“I should have just submitted it.”
‘Isn’t there something wrong with Wardanaz too?’
Salchow thought seriously.
If it had been Salchow, he would never have accepted it when Professor Verdus said something like that.
It was impossible to assemble a golem by assembling scrap materials.
“Salko? “What are you thinking?”
“Oh, no. I thought that Professor Verdus was truly an evil person. “If it were our masonry guild, a person like that would have been put on his knees, placed on top of a large rock, and sentenced to death!”
“Oh… such a good way?”
Lee Han looked curious. Seeing this, Salko felt once again that there was deep hatred in her friend’s heart.
“Wardanaz. “Professor Lightning Step, let’s go prepare for the test.”
“that’s right. “Forget Professor Verdus.”
Lee Han’s expression softened slightly due to his friends’ support.
At that time, students who did not listen to enchantment appeared from afar.
“hey. “I heard you had an accident while taking the test?”
“What mistake did I make that caused the golem to crawl out? Study enchantment properly… Ugh! evil! Wodanaz! Why are you doing this! “What did we do wrong?”
The students who were just trying to make fun of him were scared by the violently flying water beads and ran away.
I never thought it was Wardanaz’s mistake.
* * *
“It’s Pegasus!!!!”
Even before I arrived at the test site, I heard the excited voices of other students.
Friends who were walking with Lee Han also opened their eyes wide when they heard the word Pegasus.
“Pegasus?!”
“That Pegasus…!?”
There were many rare phantom beasts in the empire, but among them, Pegasus was very popular.
There are rumors in the imperial newspapers that various flying mounts, such as wyverns and griffons, occasionally threaten and eat their owners…
…Pegasus had a relatively gentlemanly and polite personality.
“How on earth did Professor Lightning Walk borrow these Pegasus?”
“Professor, you are one of the empire’s leading explorers. “He must have borrowed it through his connections.”
The students looked at the lightning-walking professor with eyes full of respect.
These Pegasus were expensive, so it was difficult to find them even if you had money.
But you just prepare it for students.
“There’s nothing to look at it like that. “I just got lucky.”
“Professor… I respect you the most…!”
“You’d better not say that in front of other professors, right? ruler. The test you must take today is to persuade this Pegasus. FYI, don’t be fooled into thinking I’m being cocky. “Pegasus is kinder than a wyvern, but he is by no means an easy guy.”
Lee Han was not surprised.
Pegasus did not directly eat its owner, but it was not easy enough to let anyone ride on its back.
The rulers of the empire always questioned their master’s qualifications, and in order to be recognized, they had to pass the other party’s test.
‘Pegasus… was about sincerity and honor.’
How well did you take care of the animals throughout the year, and how honorable were your actions on a daily basis?
Pegasus could glimpse its traces in the soul of a worthy person.
Lee Han made eye contact with a Pegasus. Then the guy blinked very favorably and gave me a look. It was a look in his eyes that showed what Lee Han had done.
‘You understand!’
As I was about to walk away, grateful for everything I had done so far, Professor Lee Han called out to me.
“for a moment. Wodanaz.”
“yes?”
“You can’t get close.”
“Why!?”
“Is that because Ponrigg will be jealous…?”
“……”
Lee Han was speechless at the unexpected sound.
The basilisk in his sleeve made a sound of great agreement.
