Episode 606
Perhaps because he was so moved, Silvas was signing his name without realizing it by the end of the story.
“I will put my name on the report and say that we should support research on the species that trolls prefer to feed on!” This is research that the empire must currently conduct. No, the Empire should be ashamed of itself for not doing this research until now!”
“thank you.”
Lee Han sighed in relief and expressed his gratitude.
Unlike the skeleton principal, this official named Silvas had a warm heart.
Thanks to this, we were able to achieve this success just by appealing to recognition.
‘I was lucky.’
After saying hello, Lee Han came out and checked the next research plan.
-Study on the most efficient cane swing movement
Lee Han, deep in thought, mumbled and walked down the hallway.
“The number of wizards and imperialists who are injured each year due to incorrect wand movements is gradually increasing… More than a dozen students at Einrogard are injured each year, and some say this may have something to do with the wand swing movement. “The opinion that I don’t know is…”

The skeleton principal was sitting on the terrace of <Rock Spirit’s Apple Jam Café>, waiting.
As much as I enjoyed all kinds of gourmet food, I was a skeletal principal who didn’t care much about the popular foods and drinks in the capital, but this cafe deserved praise.
“That’s amazing. “Coffee and apple pie are great, but this stone soup is the taste of the soul.”
Geek.
The rock spirit was embarrassed and averted his gaze.
Principal Skeleton left a tip telling us to work harder in the future.
“principal!”
“Are you here?”
When a student walked out from afar with a tired expression on his face, the skeleton headmaster signaled him to sit down.
“It’s much later than I thought. Good job.”
“no. Forgive me for being late.”
“What are you sorry about? “Is it possible that it would be easy to persuade thieves?”
“Not even a thief…”
“joy. All imperial officials are thieves. Should I ask?”
The Skeleton Headmaster called out to an adventurer who was passing by and asked.
“hey. “Are the imperial officials thieves or not thieves?”
“They are shameless thieves!”
“Did you see it?”
“…He seems like an adventurer who recently paid a lot of taxes.”
The headmaster called another traveler and asked:
“Imperial officials…”
“I was wrong. Please stop.”
“okay. “I just need to know.”
The skeleton principal pushed stone soup to Lee Han, who had been struggling.
Even though it was boiled with only stones, I could feel the taste of the soul in this soup.
‘…fox and crane??’
Of course, in Lee Han’s opinion, the soup looked rather ugly. Lee Han pushed the bowl to the side and said.
“Still, even though it was late, there were quite a few achievements.”
“oh. “Really?”
The skeleton principal was truly surprised.
The research plans that Principal Skeleton brought with him this time were some of the most trash in Einrogard.
The plans, which were not trash to begin with, were passed without the skeleton principal even having to bring them.
The fact that the skeleton principal himself had to bring it like this and evaluate it proved that it was a garbage plan.
But let even one of them pass.
It was truly amazing.
“What did you pass?”
“You passed everything?”
“…Do not lie. haha.”
“It’s true.”
Lee Han put down the signatures of the imperial officials who had received each plan.
As mentioned above, it was a signature to participate under the name of the official himself.
The skeleton principal suddenly became silent and just glanced over the plan one after another.
Re-read it once, re-read it twice, re-read it three times…
Lee Han asked out of concern when the other person stopped speaking.
“Are you okay?”
“I am truly proud of you.”
The skeleton principal’s voice trembled slightly. Lee Han became more puzzled.
“…Thank you…?”
Before Lee Han finished speaking, the skeleton principal shouted to the capital people sitting at the surrounding tables.
“Make sure everyone listens! This proud guy is my student! “The person who destroys Einrogard’s officials is my disciple!”
“Why are you really like this?!”
Lee Han shouted in disgust, but the skeleton principal, who was in such a good mood, ignored him and shouted.
“Owner. “I will pay for all the food and drinks in this cafe today!”
“hurray! “I don’t know where you’re from, but let’s thank you for being such a generous guest!”
“I don’t know who it is, but it seems like my student has accomplished something great!”

“The annihilator of Einrogard’s bureaucracy!”
“Long live the annihilator of bureaucracy!”
Seeing people everywhere applauding without knowing what was going on, Lee Han vowed never to hang around with the skeleton principal again.
* * *
morning.
Lee Han, who stayed at the headmaster’s capital villa (it was a villa where the Death Knights were dressed like servants), went down to eat.
The headmaster, still in his human form, came out first and was reading the imperial newspaper.
The skeleton principal, who was reading the newspaper with sharp eyes, saw Lee Han coming down and gestured.
“Yesterday was amazing.”
“No matter how much I think about it, what you did at the cafe was a bit excessive.”
“hmm. I am also reflecting. “Sometimes even the archmage cannot control his joy.”
The Death Knights nodded in agreement.
-Yesterday was a day that made the master happy.
-Bureaucrats, they were easily fooled by a subject they were usually very picky about!
“It’s not that I was deceived, but that you understood my sincere words…”
-haha. All right. Let’s do something like that.
The Death Knights narrowed their eyes.
Lee Han was dumbfounded, but decided to just keep his mouth shut and eat the meal in front of him.
It was an eastern-style meal consisting mainly of rice, fish, and vegetables. Lee Han suddenly became curious and asked.
“Did you like Eastern food?”
“An outstanding bureaucrat annihilator disciple.”
“If you keep calling me a bureaucrat annihilator, I’ll just go back to the Wardanaz family.”
“An outstanding disciple.”
Despite this threat, the skeleton principal’s eyes were extremely warm.
It seemed like the work done yesterday was that great.
“It’s not a good question to ask Rich what food he likes.”
“…s-sorry. “I was surprised that you prepared Eastern food.”
“It’s tailored to your taste.”
Lee Han was even more surprised by the skeleton principal who knew his tastes.
In fact, in Einrogard, it didn’t really matter whether it was western or eastern as they ate whatever they could catch.
Therefore, it was difficult to know unless you observed it very closely.
“thank you. “To be honest, I was a little surprised.”
“What are you doing with something like this? “I know where students steal and what they steal.”
“But you didn’t know you were going out.”
“……”
The Skeleton Headmaster’s eyes changed from affectionate warmth to their usual coldness, then warm again.
What we did yesterday was truly amazing.
“There are always exceptions to magic.”
‘You’re only doing useless things with that kind of observation skills.’
It was also a talent to pour all the observation skills that were enough to figure out what other people liked to eat into creating a trap.
“What is your schedule today?”
“You can rest a little. In the morning, I will meet with some more officials. “The lower-ranking people even signed it, so the higher-ups won’t be able to complain.”
“Then I will write a letter and wait.”
I already had a pile of letters to send to my friends, so I had to write them down whenever I had time.
There are many magical tasks to be done…
“And in the afternoon, I will go to meet the wealthy people of the capital.”
“Hogurs?”
“Did I say I was a pushover? I guess I heard wrong. “They said they were the benefactors of the capital.”
“…Anyway, you can think of them as the people who support Einroguard, right?”
“okay. I will also take Pengelin with me. Just as you cast mental magic on officials, you can also cast mental magic on sponsors. Don’t worry, it will be much easier for sponsors. “He’s an outstanding student.”
“I didn’t cast a mental spell.”
“Casting it even without casting it is a truly outstanding level of magic. “That’s great.”
Lee Han slightly considered throwing the tomatoes on the table.
However, there were still gold coins left that had not been received. Lee Han decided to hold on a little longer.
“The officials were lucky. Sponsors are different from bureaucrats…”
“Just doing what we did this year is enough.”
“What did I do this year?”
“……”
The skeleton principal looked at Lee Han as if he found it hard to believe.
-……
The Death Knights also looked at Lee Han as if they found it hard to believe.
Are you saying that the crazy performances he showed in front of his sponsors this year were just everyday life that he couldn’t even remember?
“No, I really don’t know. “What did I…”
“Yeah, yeah. Then just remain ignorant. Excellent student. Come on.. Indeed. “When Pengelin wakes up, tell her to wait for her meal.”
“oh. Have you made a reservation at a restaurant in the capital?”
“huh? no. “Pengerin has to eat sardines in front of his sponsors.”
“……”
* * *
The skeleton principal didn’t lie. His patrons were much more generous and generous than his officials.
In the first place, sponsorship was something that wealthy people did to gain the honor of supporting the empire’s magic school, Einroguard.
They did not strictly consider efficiency like bureaucrats. He generously presented a bag of gold coins.
As such, Principal Skeleton’s approach has also changed.
The idea is to subtly encourage students to raise the amount of donations by talking about their recent achievements.
“Did you all hear that Einrogard’s students defeated the alchemy guilds and created the perfect potion?”
“ah. I heard. Prince Gonadaltes! “How great!”
“But Einrogard’s hardball club lost again…”
“Uh-huh! “Do I really have to say that?”
Of course, there were times when the skeleton principal’s expression became distorted, but most of the time things went smoothly.
Sponsors were particularly interested in Lee Han, who revealed that he was a student of the skeleton principal.
It was surprising that he was treated as a former disciple even though he was still a young boy, but when he heard that he was from the Wardanaz family, I couldn’t help but be interested.
There was no supporter who would pass up the opportunity to become acquainted with a real future archmage.
Lee Han was not shaken by such attention and responded perfectly by maintaining a calm demeanor. The skeleton principal gave him a look that said it was great.
And Alsicle eagerly ate the sardines.
It may have been just his mood, but it seemed like every time Alcicle ate a sardine, the amount of donations from sponsors jumped.
“Good work. “It was easy because there were no strange suggestions today.”
“What if it’s a strange proposal…?”
“Aristocrats with a lot of money have a tendency to want to waste their money on useless things.”
The skeleton headmaster said as he walked down the street.
Like Professor Verdus’ outrageous project, sometimes, or more often than you might think, nobles would come up with outrageous projects.
-We are installing space movement devices throughout the empire so that we can move at any time!
-Oh… how do you mean?
-Now the wizards have to take care of that, right?
-……
If he wasn’t a sponsor, I would have slapped him and kicked him out, but since he was a sponsor, I had to turn it around and talk to him in a nice way.
If the sponsor went bankrupt due to a strange business, it would be no good for Einrogard.
“Just in case, don’t accept such an offer. “Sometimes stupid people do things with sponsorship even though they have no ability, and most of them never turn out well.”
“uh. “How much support do you get?”
“…Did you not hear what I just said??”
“I was just asking.”
The skeleton principal’s eyes, which had become warm due to yesterday’s incident, were slowly returning to their original state.
