Episode 841
‘Is that what I looked like?’
Embarrassed by his reputation, Lee Han tried to persuade Professor Garcia.
“Professor. Please believe me.”
“Yes. Yes. I believe it.”
“……”
When Lee Han looked at him with sad eyes, Professor Garcia felt a little weak.
“What did I say… I’m sorry, Student Lee Han. I don’t think that’s what Student Lee Han wanted to do, right?”
“That’s right, Professor.”
Lee Han, who was arguing, saw the echo stone stuck on the end of the staff and slowly rotated the staff.
‘This is an exceptional situation, so it should be set aside.’
“In fact, if you only follow the path the teacher wants, you are not a good disciple. A good disciple must deviate from the path the teacher wants.”
“No, I just want to follow the path Professor Garcia directs.”
“……”
Professor Garcia was dumbfounded by his student’s ridiculous flattery.
Does the disciple really have no conscience when he says things like that?
“…Be careful, student Lee Han. That alter ego is a kind of thought form. It is not a living being, but something like a law or a disaster. The persistence of such a being is beyond the common sense of us mortals.
there is.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Okay then, let’s go see Professor Verdus.”
Professor Garcia checked the time and got up.
In fact, I wanted to preach for about an hour more to be careful, but Professor Garcia had already given up and said it was meaningless.
It was a renunciation that would have deeply hurt the disciple if he had known.
“True. Student Lee Han.”
“yes?”
“Don’t students these days use exclamation marks a lot when writing letters?”
“It seems like it’s just plain writing. Is there any reason to use so many exclamation marks?”
“Uh… that… it’s a trend or something?”
“I’ve never heard of such a trend.”
“……”
Professor Garcia looked shocked.
Seeing people muttering things like ‘that’s ridiculous’ and ‘I can’t believe the trend is already over’, Lee Han looked puzzled and asked back.
“Would you like to send a letter to the student?”
“Oh… no. I was just asking.”
‘I think you were a bit shocked for just asking.’

The security at Seonggak-gwan, the magic tower where Professor Verdus stayed, was much stricter than usual.
Before we had even reached the entrance, a small walking bronze golem approached us, its blue gemstone lenses shining.
Access by outsiders is not permitted. Access by outsiders is not permitted.
“I’m Professor Garcia.”
“I am Lee Han.”
-Confirmed to be Ainrogard. Let’s move on to the next confirmation. Have you ever received a request from an outsider to kidnap Bible Verdus or something similar? please answer
“……”
“……”
A strangely twisted magical power came out of the bronze golem.
Although it was his first time seeing magic, Lee Han was able to guess what it was.
‘It must be a magic that confirms lies…’
And there was only one reason to equip the bronze golem with that expensive magic and use it for the security of the magic tower.
Now in Einrogard, there was Mr. La Mo, a pirate who was gnashing his teeth after being defrauded by Professor Verdus.
“I didn’t…”
“I didn’t either.”
– Confirmed as true. You are welcome to come in.
‘I’m not sure if I’ll just destroy it…’
Professor Garcia grumbled inwardly and took a step forward.
If you teach the student one more thing and give him or her a gift of one more material during the time to make something like that, what is the difference?
On the first floor of Seongakgwan, several Buyeo Magic School students were sitting and discussing carefully.
Professor Garcia felt even more heartbroken when he saw that.
‘They should be learning under a professor, but they have to study on their own like that.’
Professor Garcia approached the students with the intention of helping them in any way he could.
“I think we should kidnap Professor Verdus and sell him now. After a few more days here, the guests might give up and leave.”
“No, you have to think carefully. In fact, Professor Verdus’s price may go up as the weekend approaches.”
“I think how to kidnap and sell something is more important than when to sell it. You haven’t forgotten, right? From the moment we make a decision and receive a request, those golems will stop us.”
“……”
When Professor Garcia saw the students seriously planning to kidnap the professor at the request of outsiders, he sighed in despair.
“Oh, Professor Garcia. Hello.”
“Hello, I can’t say it…”
“Is something wrong?”
“…That’s it. Everyone, do your best.”

Professor Garcia gave up trying to say something.
In a way, this was Professor Verdus’s own achievement.
‘It’s not for me to interfere.’
Professor Garcia, who was trudging along, suddenly felt something strange.
Lee Han was not visible next to him.
“Seniors. Exactly who wants to kidnap Professor Verdus?”
“Student Lee Han!”
“sorry.”
Lee Han quickly apologized and ran over.
“Are you asking that there?”
“You never know when it might be helpful…”
“…I guess they’ll follow me.”
Professor Garcia walked up the spiral staircase of Seonggak Hall.
Then he shouted in an irritated voice.
“I tried a useless spell here again. Professor Verdus! Open it!”
“Professor Verdus, you don’t listen through words, do you?”
Lee Han felt like Professor Garcia was wasting his energy needlessly.
At a time like this, it would be better to just break the spell and go up to Professor Verdus’ residence…
-okay. calm down!
“?!”
But surprisingly, Professor Verdus’ voice came back from the ceiling.
Lee Han was truly astonished.
‘Professor Verdus listens?’
Unable to believe it, Lee Han glanced at Professor Garcia once again. The clenched fist caught my eye strangely.
‘Is it because of that?’
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Several confusion spells disappeared and the traps hidden in the stairs were disarmed. A new path appeared in the wall and a door appeared in the ceiling.
“Can I go up?”
“It’s not over yet, Student Lee Han.”
Crunch, clank, clank!
A loud noise was heard from behind the door in the ceiling. Professor Garcia said in an annoyed voice.
“How long should I wait??”
-wait for a sec! I’ve been chained too many times! Just wait a little longer!
It was quite rare to see Professor Verdus shouting so urgently.
Professor Verdus, who was unlocking the chain with a clanking sound, said he was worried.
-Don’t break it! Professor Garcia!
“……”
Professor Garcia blushed slightly at Lee Han’s gaze.
“I usually don’t break it, student Lee Han. I accidentally bumped into it last time.”
“Professor. I will still respect you even if you destroy the entire Seonggak-gwan.”
‘Don’t respect me for that…’
Professor Verdus, who hastily unlocked the door, opened the ceiling door and lowered the magic ladder.
I was in such a hurry that I was covered in sweat.
“Here! You didn’t break it, right?”
“Someone might think I’m the type of person who destroys everything, Professor Verdus.”
“He’s the one who destroys everything… Argh!”
Professor Verdus paid a heavy price for letting his guard down when Professor Garcia approached him closely.
Professor Garcia used his natural senses, talent, and wisdom to avoid Professor Verdus’ magic defense force field and grabbed his shoulder tightly.
Professor Verdus blamed himself for his complacency and kindness as the pain was so intense that tears came to his eyes.
‘You fooled me again! Even if it was Professor Garcia, I shouldn’t have trusted him!’
“Don’t say anything weird, okay?”
“Yep!”
In response to one’s stylish suppression, Lee Han looked at Professor Garcia with the warmest respect this year.
‘I also want to be like Professor Garcia.’
The skeleton principal and the crazy alter ego were all unnecessary. I didn’t know if that could be a real wizard.
The two went up to the ceiling and were surprised to see what was inside.
Up here was an attic, not the magic workshop that Professor Verdus usually used.
There were few magic tools or devices and the space was narrow, making it much more cluttered and cramped. Professor Verdus grabbed the artifact he was creating earlier and asked.
“What brings you here? But can you please let go of my shoulder?”
“Professor Verdus. I have come to ask you a favor.”
“Okay, but can you really let go of my shoulder?”
Professor Verdus appealed with his cute voice and face, a beaver born with no effort, but Professor Garcia shook his head.
If I let it go because I felt sorry for it, it became a hassle.
“Could you process black magnets for this student here?”
“Huh? I don’t like it.”
violence and surrender
The healing magic was activated along with the sound of Professor Verdus’ collarbone breaking.
“Okay! I’ll do it!”
“Thank you, Professor. I’ll forget about the last time I went on patrol, graded tests, prepared assignments, made artifacts to fill in with criminals, and managed materials.
I’ll do it.”
“He’s a total blackmailer…’
When Professor Verdus complained, Professor Garcia wanted to force him again, but he held back.
Maybe it was for the sake of his student, but he didn’t want to use his power for his own temporary feelings.
“Did you bring the black magnet?”
“The professor has it.”
“……”
Professor Verdus cried, but Professor Garcia coldly shook his head.
Sighing, Professor Verdus pulled out a black magnet ingot from his pocket.
‘The professor usually wears a subspace pouch and a backpack attached to his clothes.’
Lee Han keenly remembered Professor Verdus’ item list for future reference.
“Isn’t that too much more than Gonadaltes?”
“……”
Professor Garcia endured the insults with superhuman patience.
“Look at this. Now, if you look at the shape of this staff, you can see…”
“Specializing in ancient magic? Gonadaltes commissioned it?”
“No. It’s this student’s cane. Didn’t you hear me?”
“No… Gonadaltes can also request the Wodanaz Staff…”
Professor Verdus spoke hesitantly, feeling slightly pressured by Professor Garcia’s murderous attitude.
Professor Garcia was taken aback by the unexpectedly correct statement.
‘I know?’
Come to think of it, Principal Skull could have also requested student Lee Han’s cane. For a Professor Verdus, this was quite a keen observation.
“That’s true, but not anyway. Now, can you feel the wood here?”
“It’s a king-level spirit? How did you secure it?”
Professor Verdus slowly began to show interest.
Unlike boring simple repetitive tasks, this cane showed quite a few refreshing features.
“I’ll tell you when it’s done.”
“Wait a minute. Did you take this from King Gwangmok’s forest!? How did it get there!?”
Professor Verdus asked in surprise.
A twig from King Gwangmok’s forest.
I’ve been coveting it for a long time!
“Listen.”
“Ahh!”
“You have to complete the wand according to this.
“okay…”
“Can you do it?
“Yeah. I think it’ll be fun.”
Professor Garcia was reassured by Professor Verdus’ words.
I didn’t trust words like ‘I’ll try,’ ‘I’ll do it,’ ‘I’ll do my best,’ and ‘Really’, but I trusted Professor Verdus’ words, ‘It looks like it’ll be fun.’
Professor Verdus was the type of person who worked harder than anyone else if he was having fun.
“Then I’ll have to do what Gonadaltes left to me later. It wasn’t fun already.”
“Please.”
“?”
Lee Han, who was listening next to him, whispered in embarrassment.
“Um, Professor. Is that okay? If you don’t meet the schedule, Professor Verdus will…”
“What do you think? It’s your responsibility. Who told you not to meet the schedule?”
“……”
