Episode 772
Shock and silence.
Delet fully understood the shock his junior received, so he waited until he woke up from the shock.
“…Uh, how does that make sense?”
“Which part? White Tiger Top 5th grade? Or zero schools?”
“Everything is confusing… I failed, but can I move up to the 5th grade?”
A common joke among lower grade students at Einrogard, ‘If you fail, won’t you end up in the 5th grade?’ was very different from reality.
Einrogard is not a kind and kind place that will send you to the next grade just because you failed.
Once a student fails, the place he or she goes to is usually the punishment room.
By staying in the punishment room instead of going out during vacation, most of the failures were resolved.
Students who aim to graduate in their fourth year say that’s not enough, but that’s because it’s graduation, and in general, the standard process was failing -> punishment room -> overcoming.
But it wasn’t enough to keep failing while failing, so you went all the way to the 5th grade?
“Once that kid committed suicide… he was in the punishment room for the entire vacation.”
“……”
Lee Han suddenly got goosebumps.
A person has never been able to go outside and has been confined to Einrogard since entering school.
It was an ordeal enough to turn a normal person into a monster like the skeleton principal.
“Well, isn’t that too cruel?”
“Things like this happen in Einrogard. Junior. “I tried to teach not only myself, but also professors at Jukveltirena…”
Lee Han swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
I felt more nervous than when I met the crazy alter ego of the skeleton principal.
“…I failed. Jahan really had no understanding of the calculations or laws necessary for magic. “It’s like I’m cursed by numbers.”
“Yes, indeed.”
Lee Han nodded.
Since magic is basically an advanced course that requires one to feel magic power, know how to move, and be able to calculate and concentrate in one’s head, it was something that could not be done with just the senses.
Even if you are lucky enough to learn a few things, you cannot progress beyond that.
If Caton of the Jahan family was a person cursed by numbers as Direth said, it would not be surprising if he failed consecutively.
“for a moment. “So what happened to fifth grade?”
“He was excellent at swordsmanship.”
Caton had swordsmanship skills that were second to none not only in the same grade but also compared to the White Tiger Top seniors in the upper grades.
Not only did he create an aura with magical power, but he also somehow made up for the lack of magic by showing off various secret techniques of swordsmanship.
-Jahan student. The test was clearly about making a wall made of water…
-I made it, Professor.
-This is swordsmanship… Of course, creating a wall of water by swinging a sword is amazing… but what kind of swordsmanship is this?
-This is a secret technique created to pass the test in the punishment room. I swung my sword all day to create a wall of water.
-…Wouldn’t it be better for you to just join the Knights?
Because of his sincerity and talent, professors, including Principal Skeleton, suggested, ‘Why don’t you graduate early and join the Knights?’, but Catton flatly refused.
Catton himself had a passion for magic.
-A man from the Jahan family never breaks his resolve once he has made up his mind. principal. Since swordsmanship is also a skill that deals with magical power, once you reach the level, you may be able to discover a connection with magic.
-…I know some swordsmanship, but regardless of the point of contact between the two, I won’t be able to gain enlightenment about magic even if my swordsmanship level increases…
-principal. The headmaster told you not to put limits on your magic!
-You cowardly brought what I said. This bastard.
In the end, Principal Skull gave in to Caton’s insistence and allowed him to go to the 5th grade.
If you say that much, then try your hand at researching swordsmanship and get results!
…As a result, a monster called a 5th grade student from 0 schools was born.
“…Isn’t it okay to join the Knights?”
“Junior. “He said that to me, his seniors, and his juniors a hundred times.”
From what I heard, she was a swordsman talent comparable to Giselle’s older sister, Giclean, but I couldn’t understand why she was acting like this in Einroguard.
Isn’t it a consideration for the imperial swordsmanship world to just focus on swordsmanship?
However, no matter what others said, in the end, one’s own will was important, and Caton was confident that if he studied swordsmanship, he would one day be able to realize magic.
“okay. hmm. “But you’re not a senior with a bad personality or a strange personality, right?”
“Even after listening to the conversation we just had, are you asking me if I’m a strange senior?”
“…But you’re not a weird senior like Professor Verdus or Senior Yukbeltire, are you?”
“He’s not that kind of guy. But… um… no. “I don’t think I need to tell you this in advance.”
“……”
Lee Han wanted to say, ‘Do you know that there are two ways to make people angry, senior?’ but he held back.
Because the senior in front of me was too pitiful to be angry.
“All right. “Then I will listen carefully.”
“okay. Thank you for your hard work.”
“really. “When can I help with research on similar products?”
“not there yet.”
“Then I’ll go this weekend.”
Lee Han said hello and went out.
“Didn’t you hear that it’s still far away?”
Delet grumbled into the back of his junior’s head.
If a junior was too smart, it was difficult to lie.
‘really. I should put some gold coins in it.’
After Lee Han left, Direth, the man alone in the dark hall, approached the safe.

Because the black magic school was so poor, there were times when Direth secretly put in his own money.
I’m already worried that there will be 0 new students this year, so I’m going to pack my wallet…
-!!!!!!!
A loud scream erupted from the dark hall.
* * *
The <Sword and Life> lecture was held in the lecture room on the 6th floor, on the outskirts of hell.
‘I’m glad it was a toxic swamp that exploded on the 6th floor.’
Lee Han walked through the miasma emanating from the swamp with his bare body and opened the door to the classroom on the outskirts of hell.
Inside, it was hot and lava was flowing like a river.
“……”
The urge to close the door was strong, but Lee Han resisted.
‘for a moment. The elemental magic lecture was also like this. Einrogard classrooms are all unique. ‘You cannot hastily evaluate the lecture content based on the characteristics of the classroom.’
Of course, the professor in charge of the <Elemental Magic and Its Applications> lecture ignited Lee Han’s body, but Lee Han tried to accept it as positively as possible.
‘…Why is there no one?’
When no one was visible between the lava and the igneous rock, Lee Han once again felt the urge to retreat.
‘no. Professor Verdus’ lecture was like this. ‘Seniors may come late because they have a lot of leisure time.’
Unlike Einrogard’s second year students like Lee Han, the third and fourth year students are full of leisure.
That might be why he came late.
“oh. Are you a junior? “Welcome.”
When he discovered that Lee Han had arrived, Suin, a short cat student, looked happy and beckoned.
It was a male student with quite dark animal blood, and Lee Han instinctively flinched when he saw him.
‘An animal with a cute appearance… from experience, was dangerous.’
In Lee Han’s experience so far, there were many cases of cute-looking animal beasts with broken personalities.
Lee Han secretly called this the <Beast Humanity-Cuteness Inverse Proportion Hypothesis>.
The most suitable example was, of course, Professor Verdus.
If it weren’t for his animal-like appearance that evokes sympathy and cuteness, Professor Verdus would not have survived until now.
‘Among the beasts whose character is ruined, only those with dark animal blood and cute looks survive. It’s a rather convincing hypothesis.’
“Are you a Caton senior from the Jahan family?”
“That’s right! “Junior.”
‘shit.’
Lee Han lamented inwardly.
I thought it would be okay if he was a senior who was taking the lecture with me, but it turned out to be a senior who was giving the lecture.
“How did you know my name?”
“That… other seniors told me.”
“indeed. “I know your name, too.”
Caton took off his long-brimmed fedora and smiled with satisfaction. Lee Han paused.
“yes? “Why?”
“Isn’t this Ihan of the Wardanaz family? “I’ve wanted to meet you ever since I heard you were taking classes from all schools, but I never thought you would come to this lecture.”
“……”
Lee Han regretted that he should have listened to Direth’s story about his senior by holding on to his ankles earlier.
I was really scared because the other person was like that.
‘Perhaps they are trying to retaliate just because I am attending the previous school.’
As it happened, Lee Han was the Blue Dragon Tower and his opponent was the White Tiger Tower.
If my 2nd grade friends told me to beg them for revenge…
“When are the others coming?”
“Other people?”
“yes.”
“There are no other students taking this class.”
Caton blinked and looked at Lee Han.
“…How do you know that?”
“That’s because, except for your junior, all the students taking the swordsmanship class are from White Tiger Tower, and I already asked the White Tiger Tower students?”
“……”
Lee Han vowed that he would grab the White Tiger Tower students by the collar the next time they met.
If a crazy senior went around asking about the lecture, you should have shared that information. What would happen if you just ignored it?
“Shall we try to persuade you again? “I think it would be a shame to have to take this lecture alone.”
“No way. Junior. And it was I who stopped him from hearing it.”
“yes?”
Lee Han was surprised by the unexpected words.
Is it okay for a professor to go to a student and threaten them not to listen?
‘That’s a novel method.’
It was a method that would make Professor Verdus afraid of what would happen if he found out.
They go to the students first and threaten them not to attend the lecture…
“I guess I have the qualifications to take this lecture. “I told you to ask and if you say no, don’t listen.”
“Do you mean swordsmanship?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
Of course, Lee Han had excellent swordsmanship among his grade, but if Giselle, Durgyu, and even his seniors had given up, there was no reason to listen to only Lee Han.
“ah. “Have I not taken the test yet?”
Lee Han cautiously asked if he would be able to leave the classroom if he lost here.
Then Caton shook his head.
“It’s a test, but it’s not a swordsmanship. It’s closer to wisdom than that. ruler. Junior. “Take this book.”
Caton handed Lee Han a book.
<Beginner Fire Magic> was written a long time ago, but the explanations were good, so it was a useful book for first-year students.
“?”
“Back, 3rd circle page. <Lesser Flame Barrier>. “Do you know about this magic?”
“yes.”
“Can you explain?”
“yes?”
Caton urged us to do it quickly.
Lee Han was a little worried about how to explain it.
‘hmm. ‘There probably isn’t that much magic that the senior mastered.’
According to Direth, except for a few basic spells that he learned by feel, Caton learned everything else through swordsmanship.
Lee Han first prepared to explain, thinking that the other person was Gai Nando, who did not know numbers.
“So, first of all, this <Lesser Flame Barrier> is a magic that uses the fire element and shape change. In the case of fire elements, accurate calculations are essential as there is a backfire phenomenon, but sometimes when there is too much magic power or calculations are not possible, other methods must be used. I recommend casting a protection spell and using magic, and although it may seem reckless at first, if you repeat it, you will find that there are surprisingly many parts that can be replaced sensibly…”
“I passed, junior.”
“??”
“Please take care of me.”
“Uh, what do you mean?”
“I teach swordsmanship to my junior. My junior is teaching me magic. hmm. “Wouldn’t we have a synergistic effect together?”
“……”
Lee Han seemed to have some idea of what Direth was trying to say earlier.
