Episode 815
“No. It’s okay. I decided to help, but I have to go with you.”
“It’s okay.”
“You just shut up.”
It was already confusing, but Direth’s voice naturally became sharper as the idea of being a friend scratched his heart.
However, it was difficult to deny what Yukveltyre said about the need for battle wizards like Lee Han.
Neither Direth nor Yukveltire were combat wizards who were professionally trained in magical combat.
Of course, just because he wasn’t a trained battle mage didn’t mean he was weak. You could tell that just by looking at the Einrogard students.
Basically, wizards were able to cast sufficiently powerful attacks if given time and space, and the same was true for Direth and Yukveltire.
Delet is black magic.
Yukbeltire gives enchantment.
Since they were both outstanding wizards in their school, it was very easy to apply the magic they had learned in battle.
But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have weaknesses. The biggest difference between a battle wizard and a regular wizard is the ability to prepare for unexpected situations.
It was a question of whether or not there was anything.
Even with attacks coming from all directions and all kinds of noise and threats targeting the wizard, can you remain calm and cast the necessary magic?
Although Einroguard students were trained in a harsh environment and were able to fight well compared to most wizards, there were clearly limitations.
There are not many students who give up their own research goals and prioritize training the magic needed for battle.
Of course, there were very rare students who learned both…
“If I had to classify it, I have a long-distance summoning style of combat. Delet is similar. I need a wizard who can respond at mid-range and close range. There are limits to summoned beasts.”
“Einroguard kids are especially good at exploiting loopholes like this.”
Whether it was an inanimate summon that the wizard created a routine for or a summon that was brought in from another dimension, it was bound to have its own habits.
If you were an outsider who didn’t know much about magic, the Einroguard students, who often bumped into each other, were good at exploiting these weaknesses.
In the end, the most stable thing was to have a wizard who could respond flexibly to all situations.
“I understand. I don’t know if I can do well against other seniors, but I’ll give it a try.”
“Younger of the Wardanaz family. You are Professor Bagrek’s hand-pupil. You have defeated the King of Ghouls, Basilisk, Sea Serpent, King of Frost Giants, Magical Criminals, etc.
There is. Of course, you should be able to do it well.”
Yukbeltire supported his junior in a senior-like manner.
Lee Han, who was touched by the support, responded bluntly.
“Senior, you are Professor Verdus’ best student, but you still can’t complete the artificial dimension?”
“…You’re making a completely nonsensical and illogical analogy.”
Yukveltire calmly ignored it with his usual unwavering attitude.
However, Delet could see his friend’s fingertips trembling slightly.
Originally, Yukbeltire ignored what other students said, like what Professor Verdus said, but he could not ignore the words of his junior, whom he highly regarded.
“Yukbeltire. If you want to be respected by your juniors, be nice to them.”
“What more are we supposed to do here?”
“…That’s it. Keep living like that!”
Delet gave up right away.
I thought that my friend would be corrected if he felt unfair and sad.
Of course, it may never be fixed, but…

Duke Ikaldoren thought he knew Einrogard quite well.
Various ancient documents and books, testimonies of visitors and graduates, and exploration of other magic schools.
Since we prepared this carefully, we thought it would be possible to extract at least one treasure from Einroguard.
Moreover, the duke had the arrogance and pride typical of someone who had not been defeated for a long time.
As a member of a great aristocratic family of the empire, didn’t he plot numerous conspiracies to overthrow his political opponents from a young age?
However, Einrogard was very different from what the duke expected.
At this historic magic school, Duke Ikaldoren suffered defeat for the first time in his life.
-I was wrong. What do you want? You can pay as much ransom as you want.
-Please be quiet.
-…Isn’t this Duke of Ikaldoren admitting his mistake?
-All right. So please be quiet.
-At the very least, prepare a residence befitting the dignity of a duke.
-If you keep talking, I will put you in the dungeon.
-Do you think this kind of treatment is suitable for the Duke of the Empire?
-Everything is done with permission. So why did someone who knew so much steal from Einrogard?
-Of course, I will not deny that I gave orders to my subordinates. But all of this ultimately lies in the arrogant self-righteousness of the Demon Commander, who monopolized the ancient vision and did not share it with the honorable imperial nobles… Puhak! Damn, how dare you give the imperial duke a dirty trick?!
-I guess you like clean water. Sprinkle more.
-Sleep, wait! stop. I will stop.
-If you talk one more time, I will spray you with toxic magic wastewater.
-I can’t even give you a decent meal… Stop! I’ll stop! I’m really going to shut up!
The death knights under the command of the Imperial Commander were extremely barbaric and violent.
Duke Icaldoren was so discouraged by the rude and harsh environment he experienced for the first time in his life that he had no choice but to surrender.
New news was delivered to Duke Icaldoren, whose only companions were hard beds, rough blankets, tasteless meals, and boring books (<The Life of the Great Wizard Osu Gonadaltes 1, 2, 3>).
-Duke. You said last time that you would pay the ransom, right? Still thinking?
-…at las! Are you finally able to pay the ransom?
Originally, it was ‘How dare you kidnap the Duke of the Empire and collect ransom? It was the Duke who said, ‘I will never allow it!’, but the Death Knight
The time spent with the Duke greatly converted him.
-yes. You can now pay. To be exact, it’s a little different from paying… but it’s roughly the same!

The Death Knights began to explain to the Duke.
This time, guests from outside come to Einrogard for club week, and it is an event that traditionally attracts sponsorship and investment.
Duke Ikaldoren can pay the ransom by sponsoring a student of his choice here.
‘It’s a lot better than I thought!’
Duke Ikaldoren was relieved to hear that the story was much more sound than he had expected.
Isn’t this kind of sponsorship event something that was done even before I was imprisoned in Einrogard?
-really. Don’t talk nonsense to outsiders. If you’re talking nonsense, you may have to live for 300 years as a real invertebrate.
-Okay, I understand.
Duke Ikaldoren flinched and was dismayed. Any thoughts he had about asking for help disappeared.
-Can I just leave like this?
-yes. Feel free to go out and explore
-Okay…
-Oh! Do you by any chance speak to Duke Ikaldoren?
As soon as I went out into the hallway, some students started talking to me happily.
The duke responded, feeling his eyes get hot for no reason when he met someone who called him by his title.
-right. I am…
-found! It’s a peacock! Kidnap me!
Ulde and his friends from the Marchan family, third-year students at the Blue Dragon Tower, waved their wands while laughing evilly in triumph.
The Duke, who had lost all his protective artifacts upon coming to Einrogard, was subdued in vain.
-Why, why are you doing this! What are you doing!
-His Royal Highness the Duke. sorry! We need your support!
-Can’t you just say it with words?
-Then other people can steal it, so you can’t do that! Your Majesty must stay with us until the end of Club Week!
Einrogard students knew well the difference between innocent guests and those imprisoned by the skeleton headmaster.
The former meant that students were not allowed to attack (except for Baldrogard students), but the latter meant that students could attack and tear it off with force.
Of course, it was okay to say it verbally, as the duke said.
But then shouldn’t we have to share it with others?
If you kidnap it, you have a monopoly, but there was no need for that.
-Did the illusion magic work well? Your Majesty the Duke, do you look like someone else?
-okay! Looks like Senior Perse!
-Such rudeness… I can’t let this go!
-His Royal Highness the Duke. Be quiet!
-Ugh!
The duke still didn’t know much about Einrogard.
Anyone who thinks they know a lot about Einrogard has no idea about Einrogard.
-there. Stop.
-Ivanna…! What’s going on here?
-Senior Perse, who you are currently holding on to. Something is strange.
-What’s strange? Senior Perse is struggling like this because he took the wrong glow potion!
-I’m sorry, but I saw Senior Perse 30 minutes ago at the Gyeokgu Club racetrack. And I guess I didn’t even pay attention to my shoes. There’s no way Perse would be wearing such tattered rags!
-Damn, you got caught! Hit it!
-This is what we will say. I will avenge you for the smuggling incident!
Ivanna, a third year student at White Tiger Tower, shouted fiercely and attacked.
I was already feeling sick because of the failed smuggling when school started, but I think it worked out well.
As the White Tiger Tower students who had used strengthening magic formed a formation and attacked like a fortress, the Blue Dragon Tower students cursed.
-Ignorant bastards!
-They seem like people who want to learn magic so they can fight! Why did you come to magic school?
Ivanna didn’t answer
Because those words themselves were a trap. You had to be especially careful when dealing with the fantasy magic school.
However, one of my friends was so upset that he answered back.
-You bastard, your grades are worse than mine… Wow!
-Got caught!
Illusion magic became very vulnerable the moment the wizard’s defenses were shaken.
Emotions fluctuate or one of the five senses connects.
And now it was both
‘I move without looking. ‘I move without looking…’
Ivanna lowered her head closely to avoid looking at the chaotic scenery and the enemy.
Some magic flew and I felt a dull pain, but I endured it with strengthening magic. It didn’t really matter if it was real or fantasy.
-Gotcha! Get out!
-Ugh!
-Transform! Don’t let others notice! Wooden barrel! In a wooden barrel!
Duke Ikaldoren, who had been under an illusion spell to look like a different person, shook his head desperately as he was transformed into a wooden barrel.
However, the ruthless White Tiger Tower students dragged the peacock away and turned it into a wooden barrel.
-retreat! retreat! Leave the fallen one behind!
-White Tiger Tower guys, we’ll see! It will never end like this!

“There it is.”
Lee Han tilted his head at the words of his two seniors.
On the 6th floor, I saw seniors walking with wooden barrels at the bottom of the large spiral staircase.
“What do you mean?”
“Duke Ikaldoren.”
“…You locked him in a wooden barrel?!”
“No. I must have transformed him.”
Delet handed Lee Han a pair of glasses with purple lenses. Lee Han looked through the lenses of his glasses.
Surprisingly, the wooden barrel looked like the Duke of Ikaldoren.
“……”
Lee Han was speechless. No matter how good the Duke’s support is, is it still okay to kidnap him like that?
“Wouldn’t it be inconvenient to be forced to transform like that?”
Yukveltyre tilted his head in the manner of a disciple of Professor Verdus, not understanding Lee Han’s question at all.
Lee Han saw that and realized that he had asked the wrong person.
“Senior Delet. Even if you transform me like that…”
“huh?”
Delet summoned a demon that looked like a giant toad and then turned his head to Lee Han’s question.
“…What is this?
“There has to be a place to keep the peacock.”
“Aha, okay. Let’s get started!”
