Episode 689
After the small commotion at the mansion was over, Lee Han and his group quickly began preparing.
Thanks to Madame Kraha’s kindness, the time it took to get the supplies we needed from Flacher City was much reduced.
At the same time, some useless materials were also added.
-Come out here and see Gainan, who put the wizard card in the silver pot.”
-Why, why me? It could be someone else!
“Are you done? depart! “Go!”
After completing the final inspection, Lee Han got on the carriage and gave a signal.
Dag-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-
The friends in the carriage were talking with serious expressions about which of the supplies they had already secured should be brought into Einrogard first.
“Isn’t food a priority?”
“My thoughts are a little different. Starting in your second year, you can meet your seniors, right? Seniors probably have more food than we do, so food may not be as scarce a commodity as it was in first year. “It may be more advantageous for exchange to bring luxury goods such as coffee, tea leaves, or sugar.”
“Wouldn’t the seniors share some food?”
“I don’t think so…”
“If I were to become a senior, I don’t think I would hand out food to my juniors.”
“Food and convenience items are important, but I’m worried about second-year lectures. I heard that starting in the second year, the difficulty of the lectures increases and club activities are added. Besides, we have to conduct our own research and secure research funds, so shouldn’t we make preparations?”
“Certainly, as Yoner said, it might be a good idea to bring in external grimoires, artifacts, or at least reagents.”
“But magazines and wizard cards are not good trading items for fun-starved seniors…”
‘These bastards. That’s how I’m going to focus on preparing for the exam.’
Lee Han glared slightly at his friends.
Of course, it was right for everyone to think hard together, but it would have been better if we had thought this hard during the exam as well.
“Wardanaz. What are you worried about? “Why is your expression…”
“haha. “I’m suddenly nervous because the new semester is about to start.”
Lee Han quietly changed the topic and sat down.
Siana also said with a smile.
“haha. There’s no way Wardanaz would be nervous about something like that. “It’s a joke, too.”
“…No, I can be nervous too…”
“Lee Han. “What do you think?”
“hmm?”
Durgyu was talking to Ratford and called Lee Han. Both had serious expressions.
“It’s probably not a useless story, right? “Which wizard card is better?”
“There’s no way you could call me something like that.”
The two were dumbfounded.
Gainando flinched at that reaction. When he had an argument with his Blue Dragon Tower friends about something like that, he usually called Lee Han.
“It was the seniors I was talking about.”
It was important to decide which items to prioritize when smuggling, but more important than that was which methods to use.
In this part, Lee Han’s friends thought they should borrow the help of their seniors.
They have used more methods than they and know how to use more magic, so their horizons will be wider.
The problem was which seniors to borrow from.
Dergyu wanted to borrow the power of the White Tiger Tower seniors who were skilled in transformation magic and reinforcement magic, and Ratford wanted to borrow the power of the Black Turtle Tower seniors who were excellent thieves.
“Among our senior priests, there is no one who is good at smuggling, right…? Hmph.”
‘Isn’t that a good thing?’
Nilia thought to herself as she looked at Siana looking sullen.
“wait for a sec.”
Lee Han took out a rolled-up piece of paper from his coat pocket. Yoner asked curiously.
“What is it?”
“One of my seniors gave it to me to use as a reference when smuggling.”
“Isn’t it really written in the reference book to hold on? “The Shadow Patrol does that often.”
“…Well, that could be possible, but I’m not the senior for that.”
Lee Han trusted Delet and answered.
The seniors at Einrogard could have done that, but not Delet.
…maybe.
Precautions when smuggling (burn after reading)
1. Don’t trust your seniors
2. Don’t do the same as your seniors.
3. Do not trust or work with your seniors.
“……”
“……”
“Let’s do it ourselves…”
“…That would be better.”
The students painfully reflected on their complacent thinking.
When I thought about it, there was no way the seniors would genuinely help the juniors just by paying them.
If you are a senior at Einroguard, you can use your juniors as bait and betray them!

The atmosphere in Grandeur City, just before the start of a new year in Einrogard, was different from usual.
First, professors were waiting at the castle gate.
“Professor Thunderstruck. hello.”
“OK. Heumcha, how have you been?”

“yes! “I saved up quite a bit during the winter break.”
“It must have been worthwhile to practice like that. Go in. “Don’t get in trouble.”
The thunderous professor above the gate yawned.
Students who spent their first and second years at Einrogard usually arrived much earlier than before the first semester of the new year.
Anyone could see that the intention was to prepare for smuggling, but the professors did not pay much attention.
Even if the students smuggled it, only the skeleton principal was upset, but the professors were not very upset.
Rather, managing the magic of Grande City was more important.
I didn’t know that if students were let loose and accidents occurred, no matter how lenient the people of the city of Grandeur might be, they would add a ‘ban on entry to Einrogard students’ to the city law.
“Professor Bagrek. hello. “Did you have a good vacation?”
“I visited the new dueling club.”
“…Is there still a duel club that you haven’t been banned from?!”
I ignored the professors’ conversation behind me and headed to the meeting place.
There was a place where I was supposed to meet fellow Black Turtle Tower students.
“Dhumcha, here!”
“Everyone is already here.”
“Who would be late? “I’m not a jerk.”
The Black Turtle Tower students, who had completed their second year and were now entering their third year, had firm and unwavering eyes.
The meaning of those eyes was as follows.
‘We can’t be the only ones affected.’
It was like that.
They had the bitter experience of coming to Grandeur City quickly when their first year ended and being deceived by their seniors and acting as bait.
-Are you, by any chance, a first year student at Einrogard?
-you’re right. Are you a senior…
-that’s right! But do you know about smuggling?
-Smuggling?
-Oh my. Einrogard has this tradition…
-omg! We were not prepared at all.
-don’t worry. All you have to do is join our group. how is it?
-Thank you… Thank you!
At first, I was moved by the kind guidance of the seniors and thought, ‘There is still faith and trust even in Einroguard, which is like the skeleton headmaster’s slaughterhouse,’ but that was a mistake.
In Einroguard, a senior who speaks kindly is the most dangerous.
As they passed through the main gate, Dhumcha and his friends’ pile of luggage suddenly transformed into gargoyles and attacked the principal and his minions.
Taking advantage of the mess, the seniors quickly smuggled in the necessary items!
Dhumcha and his friends learned a very valuable lesson from that incident.
And I planned to pass on that lesson to my juniors this year.
“I know. Dheumcha? “You have to approach it before others do.”
“okay. Know.”
Dhumcha nodded.
They weren’t the only mean seniors trying to use the freshmen as bait.
There must be at least two or three more groups around here.
To get ahead of them, you had to approach quickly and gain their favor.
Fortunately, Dhumcha had a weapon.
Dhumcha, who was from the dwarven race, had the face of a typical dwarven craftsman, somewhat stubborn and unlikely to lie.
To make matters worse, one of the seniors thought that Dheumcha was from the blacksmith guild and entrusted the request to him, but lost all his money.
This impression was especially effective when dealing with other races.
“Just wait and see. I…”
“Dhumcha, over there! excuse me!”
“!”
The students’ eyes opened wide and sparkled.
Students were walking from afar.
Anyone can see that they are wizards from Einroguard, but their faces are somewhat young and unfamiliar.
It was clear that there were first graders who would now move up to second grade.
‘what?’
Dhumcha felt puzzled.
The composition of the first year students was a bit strange.
It looks like a blue dragon tower, a phoenix tower, a white tiger tower, and a black turtle tower…
I wondered if they were all mixed up, but that wasn’t the case. What good is it about hanging out with other top students?
“Dhumcha! hurry!”
“i get it. I am going right now!”
Dheumcha cleared his throat and rushed out.
And then he shouted.
“Wait a minute, are you by any chance Einrogard students?”
“Are you a senior by any chance?”
“I’m not a suspicious person… uh. Wait, how did you know I was a senior?”
Dhumcha was slightly taken aback by what the chiseled-looking noble boy in front of him said.
Usually the typical response here is ‘Who are you?’ or ‘Are you a minion of the Skeleton Headmaster!’ ‘Damn it!’
“You seem like a student at Einrogard, so you’re definitely a senior than me.”
“…Oh… That’s amazing. right.”
Dhumcha introduced himself. Lee Han also introduced himself.
“This is Ihan of the Wardanaz family.”
“What family?”
“This is the Wardanaz family.”
I couldn’t hear clearly because the surroundings were noisy. In fact, the family name was not important, so Dhumcha nodded.
‘Are you a student at Blue Dragon Tower? It would be easier to deceive.’
“Follow me. “There is an important story to be told.”
“What are you talking about…”
“It’s a secret hidden in Einrogard!”
Dheumcha took Lee Han to the <Arrogant Goongkungi Inn>.
It was a popular place for Einrogard students because it was located in a remote and dark place and the windows were blocked even in broad daylight.
“…So…smuggling…is a tradition of Einrogard…”
“…Ugh…we…can’t…do anything…what should we do…”
“…it’s not too late…”
“…thank you…”
After talking for about an hour, Dhumcha was confident that the junior in front of him had completely gotten over him.
“thank you. Dehumcha senior! “It is the luck of my life to have met senior Dheumcha!”
“It’s no big deal. It’s your luck to take advice. “There are people who don’t believe you even if you give them advice.”
Dhumcha answered while maintaining the dignity of a fake craftsman.
“Then, I’ll see you at the agreed upon date when the school opens!”
Lee Han nodded and glanced at the pile of luggage piled up in the corner of the inn.
Dheumcha flinched at that gaze.
Some of the piles of luggage were transformed bone-catching parrots, and when given a command, they returned to their parrot form and made a fuss around the area by shouting, “Skeleton headmaster idiot!”
Of course, it couldn’t be put in the pile of luggage of Dheumcha’s group, but only in the pile of luggage of juniors.
When my junior stared at me, I couldn’t help but flinch.
“…Why do you do that?”
“The seniors have already finished preparing. “I respect you.”
“Yeah, that’s right. “Your preparedness will increase over time.”
“I was truly amazed, moved, and moved!”
“Why with something like this?”
Dehumcha saw Lee Han off with a proud feeling.
‘…But is this guy from the Blue Dragon Tower?’
You’re too polite for something like that…?
* * *
“What are you doing now Lee Han?”
“I heard that seniors are memorizing magic and coming to analyze it.”
“I see.”
Gainando put the wizard card in his hand and turned around. Siana looked dumbfounded at that and asked.
“Oh, no. “Shouldn’t you be a little surprised?”
Sianna was astonished to learn that Lee Han was memorizing and analyzing the magic he had seen on the spot.
How is that possible?
However, Gaynando looked at Siana in confusion.
“uh? Did you fail?”
“No, I didn’t fail… that…”
“Then why should you be surprised?”
I heard Lee Han shouting from inside, ‘It’s done!’
