Episode 655
“Huh, how could you say such horrible things in a first meeting?”
Priest Siana muttered in shock.
Among Einrogard students, being called a fifth grader was a term worse than insulting one’s family.
No matter how much of an enemy you are, how can you tell someone to stay in Einroguard?
“Jin, calm down. Priest. “It can have a different meaning in Baldrogaard.”
“It wouldn’t be a good idea to tell any magic school to rot for 5 years!”
Ingsen was taken aback by the words of the student, a snake beast dressed as a priest of the Flemain Church.
The priest had a very rough mouth.
‘Isn’t he a priest…?’
“What does fifth grade mean?”
Lee Han, who had been keeping quiet, finally spoke up.
Although there was no significant change in expression, Yoner could feel the subtle murderousness hidden beneath Ihan’s sculpted face.
Even though I was an ironclad friend, the idea of having to go to the 5th grade was difficult to bear.
“Is that… is that senior Lee Han of the Wardanaz family? Einrogard’s 5th grade…”
“?”
“????”
Not only Lee Han but also his friends were embarrassed.
What grade?
“Fifth grade?”
“yes. 5th grade… uh, 4th grade?”
“……”
Only then did the students at Baldrogard realize that they had mistaken Lee Han’s grade and started whispering.
“Why do you kids think Wardanaz is in the 5th grade?”
“Isn’t it because of what we did in Grandeur City?”
“What did I do?”
“You fought with the King of Ghouls, you fought with the Basilisk, you fought with Mr. Serpent, you fought with anti-magicists, you fought with magic criminals, right?”
“…Well, there are some things we didn’t do in Grandeur City.”
Lee Han didn’t have anything to refute, so he held back his words.
Of course, it didn’t have much effect. The friends ignored Lee Han’s words.
“Well, they say rumors spread quickly. “If I had heard this rumor, I would have thought he was a fourth-year senior.”
“I heard they think they are 5th graders?”
“No, no matter what, it’s still strange. “There’s no way what happened in Grandeur City and Einrogard could have spread that far.”
Lee Han spoke again, but his friends ignored him again.
“Guys, can you by any chance not hear me?”
“I…”
The two students at Baldrogard were embarrassed as the atmosphere turned strange.
“Aren’t you a fifth year senior?”
“Rather, I’m curious as to why you thought you were in the 5th grade.”
At those words, Basiu spoke quietly next to him so that only Ingsen could hear.
“Gee, I guess I was in 4th grade.”
“……”
While Lee Han looked at Bashiu in bewilderment, Yingsen began to explain.
“Last year, seniors from our school visited Einrogard. at that time…”
“Ah, that’s how it happened.”
Hearing Yingsen’s words, Lee Han realized what had happened.
“What?”
“Do you remember the assignment Professor Knighton gave you at the last festival?”
“What was it? Imperial rainfall, resulting road damage, and calculation of repair costs?”
“Number of wizards to maintain the empire’s fortress network?”
“Research within Einrogard made possible by Lee Han’s magic power?”
Since he was a professor who gave a lot of assignments, my friends’ answers were very negative.
There were even some that I didn’t do.
“It’s all wrong. And you didn’t even give me the last one.”
“ah. Lee Han. The last thing is what the professor said when you weren’t there. “At that time, you were carrying out a request for a penknife fort entrusted to you by an external party.”
“……”
Lee Han was astonished.
You’re trying to sell yourself out to your friends while you’re away!
“…I didn’t say that. “You know the sculpture of light and fantasy that Professor Knighton made for the festival?”
“ah.”
Only then did the friends realize what Lee Han was talking about.
During last year’s festival, many outsiders came, and the first-year students worked hard to prepare to entertain the outsiders.
One of them was Professor Alpen’s magic circle. Creating light and illusion…
“That wasn’t an assignment, Wardanaz, but you did something the professor didn’t even ask you to do…?”
“Shh. Neilia. “Lee Han is also hurt.”
Yoner stopped Nilia.
No matter how innocent the question, it was a question that could hurt Lee Han.
“…let’s just call it a task. Anyway, at that time, Baldrogard students came and destroyed the magic circle.”

“that’s right. “It was like that.”
“Anyway, those guys from Baldrogard… eup.”
Lee Han covered Guyando’s mouth and continued to explain.
“I was lucky enough to replace it with the magic I learned at that time.”
Baldrogard students who visited the festival as guests accidentally broke Professor Alphen’s magic circle.
Of course, the Einrogard students criticized it, and Lee Han, who was worried that a fight would break out and get scolded (and because he had already beaten the Baldroguard students with water beads before that), stopped the fight and somehow managed to get rid of it with <Ajirmo Buyeo>. The situation was resolved.
“Why is that?”
“At that time, Baldrogard students told me I was their senior…”
“……”
“……”
My friends were dumbfounded and speechless.
How strong of an impression did he leave that he was called a senior by seniors from other schools?
“I thought I had resolved the misunderstanding by talking to the professor there, but it seems I wasn’t.”
“But I’m glad!”
Siana said with a sigh of relief.
“I almost got angry because I thought the crazy people were telling Wardanaz to go to the 5th grade.”
“That’s right. haha. “I was embarrassed too.”
‘Isn’t Priest Sianna speaking a little harshly?’
‘It’s just that the Phoenix Tower priests as a whole have changed.’
While Nilia and Yoner were whispering, Ihan turned around and faced Ingsen and Vasiu.
“I think I understand why such a misunderstanding occurred. “This is what happened when Baldrogard students visited…”
Lee Han explained what a heartwarming thing happened regarding Professor Alpen’s magic circle.
It was such a pleasure to even mistake him for a senior due to unfamiliar magic.
“haha. There are so many coincidences. You can’t trust rumors. Yes?”
“…Oh, no. Was that also Lee Han of the Wardanaz family?!”
“…?”
Lee Han was taken aback again by the unexpected reaction.
what?
‘Wasn’t it because of this?’
“That… the person who fixed the broken magic circle… uh…”
“It’s strange…? “Double personality…?”
However, Lee Han’s embarrassment was nothing compared to Yingsen and Bashiu’s embarrassment.
The two were in shock, almost as if their world had collapsed.
The older student who viciously attacked the Baldrogard students with water beads and the older student who kindly helped the Baldrogard students who destroyed their illusion magic were the same person.
“for a moment. “Then what on earth made you think I was in fifth grade?”
“Well, didn’t you hit your seniors with a water ball? Sleep, wait a minute. “Is this also a false rumor?”
“…no. “It is true.”
“……”
An awkward silence filled the living room.
* * *
It took about two hours for Ingsen and Vasiu to accept the fact that Lee Han was the same age and that he had helped them destroy the magic circle by hitting Baldrogard’s seniors with a water bead.
Guyando looked at the two from the side as if pitiful.
If it were Kainando, he would have understood it in about 5 minutes.
‘You’re so stupid!’
“So… water beads…”
“There is a bit of a misunderstanding about that. “It was not a legitimate duel or magic show, but something like a festival game or entertainment.”
Lee Han lied very shamelessly.
It was a lie that the parties involved would never have admitted.
Horses were the game and entertainment of the festival, and those who participated risked their lives to avoid the water beads.
If that’s not a duel, then what is a duel?
“It was like a festival game, but because of that, I embarrassed Baldrogard’s seniors? This rumor is completely false. “You shouldn’t believe such rumors.”
“B-but the seniors said they were in the 5th year and were treated horribly…”
“That’s a joke.”
“Nong, joking?”
Ihan gave Yoner’s support a look of gratitude and received his words.
“It’s a practical joke. Einrogard’s seniors also sometimes tell practical jokes. “Poisoning the underground hallway…”
“????”
“…making fun of the new students coming in. Are you sure it’s not a joke? really?”
Lee Han put strong pressure on the two.
When I glared at them and asked, ‘Do you really believe the story that I trampled on your seniors with magic?’, Yingsen and Vasiu were greatly shaken.
“Is that so…? Was it a joke…?”
“Ha, but that was obviously serious. It didn’t seem like the seniors were joking. “I was shaking while talking…”
Lee Han said firmly.
“It’s smoke.”
“Smoke, smoke?!”
“Seniors are always sincere in picking on their juniors. “It’s natural to act.”
“…!”
Yingsen and Vasiu were greatly shocked.
Until now, I thought that Baldrogard’s seniors were nobles of nobles who were honorable and never lied, but that wasn’t the case!
“What… this is ridiculous! “Your seniors are nobles!”
“haha. Just because you’re a noble doesn’t mean you don’t lie. “Isn’t this a white lie to get closer to a junior?”
Lee Han mercilessly turned Baldrogaard’s seniors into liars and even finished correcting them.
“Well, is that so…”
“Maybe we trusted our seniors too much. “We had to believe what we heard and saw with our ears and eyes.”
“that’s right. Just because you couldn’t avoid the water beads doesn’t prove your magic skills. “The seniors probably knew that and made fun of us.”
It was a laughable sound, but Lee Han didn’t bother to point it out.
Even as Lee Han, he did not want to have a title like <Baldrogard’s Nose Collector>.
It would have been honorable to have won a fair duel, but breaking the noses of Baldrogard students with a water bead at a festival was almost infamous.
‘Has it been resolved somehow? We’ll see. Baldrogard bastards.’
Lee Han was embarrassed.
You helped me with a magic circle that was broken, but you spread it because I got hit on the nose at a festival.
Next time we meet, I will challenge you to a proper duel!
“What nonsense!”
“?!”
Gainando did not go over.
“If you can’t avoid the water beads, you can’t do magic! “What’s your excuse for not being able to avoid it?”
“What are you talking about? That’s different!”
Yingsen unknowingly gave up his honor and protested in response to Gaynando’s shout.
Vasiu also seemed to agree and shouted.
“Magic skill is not about how fast you can cast it, but how great a spell you can cast…”
“I can’t hear you, loser!”
“Are you listening? So, avoiding water beads has nothing to do with your magic skills? The great wizard Baquantalana…”
“I can’t hear you, dirt destroyers!”
“Magic is not something to be fought in the mud of the streets, but is much more noble and dignified…!”
“Boo! Loser! Soil destroyers! Defeated dirt destroyers!”
“Iik!”
Both of their faces turned bright red due to Gainando’s ridicule and provocation.
“Hwang, how can a person like the prince act so undignifiedly…! Bashiu was right, you have no dignity as a member of the royal family!”
“You’re a loser, you’re a loser, you’re a loser, you’re a loser!”
My friends were amazed.
‘There’s no fighting like that in Baldrogard?’
‘Why can’t I resist such provocation?’
Lee Han was worried inside.
‘It’s dangerous if you try to use magic to do that.’
Even though the opponent’s magic casting was slower and more clumsy than Gai Nando’s, it could not be said that he had no comprehensive magic skills.
Perhaps because Einroguard’s training method was unique, there were many magicians in the empire who were slow and clumsy at casting.
It wasn’t a big drawback as it was rare that magic had to be completed urgently.
It might be dangerous to compete in an area where Gainando is weak.
“You… believe only in magic and be rude. Do you think that all you have to do is be good at magic? Without honor and character, the magic has no value! Even if you are at the top of your grade!”
“???”
However, instead of challenging Guyando to a fight, Yingsen and Basiu lowered their tail and criticized him.
Siana tilted her head and asked.
“Who are you talking about? Are you insulting Wodanaz?”
“I think Gainan is talking too…”
