Episode 009
Wizards weren’t the only ones who manipulated mana.
A swordsman who has trained by swinging a sword his entire life can condense mana and overlay it on the sword.
The level of an Auror!
Because this was so cool and flashy, many noble children said they wanted to learn swordsmanship after seeing it.
Even if it was a wizard family, it was no different.
So when Lee Han first said he wanted to learn swordsmanship, Allarlong thought like this.
‘Oh my, you want to learn to be an Auror. You will be disappointed when you find out the truth.’
Allarlong is a strict knight.
There was no need to tell me the truth first. It was because I thought Lee Han would fall out on his own.
However, Lee Han held up better than expected, and Alarlong, who was satisfied, decided to tell the truth first.
…But I was a bit embarrassed to hear that Lee Han wasn’t particularly interested in Aurors.
-I thought it was enough to discipline myself and protect myself.
-…!
Allarlong was impressed by Lee Han’s words without realizing it.
It was a maturity that a child could not show.
I can’t believe he was learning swordsmanship with such a serious attitude.
-Actually, Lee Han. Lee Han can also use Aura. Someday.
-No… It’s okay to become an Auror. I’m just a wizard…
-Aurors are not something you can learn by swinging a sword for a year or two. However, if you consistently swing and train your sword as I taught you, you will be able to understand it someday.
-I just need to protect myself. kyung. I want to live in the office.
Anyway, Lee Han consistently did as Allarlong told him to do.
I didn’t really want to realize my auror and become a sword master, and there was no harm in just training it.
* * *
…The results were coming out right now.
‘It tastes better than I thought…?’
Lee Han was surprised at himself.
It was not surprising that he knew the pig’s movements well and sharpened his cane exactly the moment it came in.
It was a skill I learned while getting beaten by Ala-Long over and over again.
The wands provided by magic schools were so hard that there was no problem using them as clubs.
However, when I was hitting the pig, I felt like the magical power around me was stirring and converging on the staff.
A sensation I had never felt before while practicing swinging a sword!
‘Is it because you started learning magic?’
I wondered if this was what Allarlong meant when he said, ‘You will realize it someday.’
The feeling of naturally gathering magical energy into a weapon.
Of course, it was still at a ridiculous level to be called an Auror.
You have to gather, gather, and condense magical power to become an Auror.
But that was enough.
An attack filled with magical power is much more destructive than just swinging.
-Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
In fact, the pig that was grunting so fiercely stumbled in one fell swoop and fell to the side.
Nilia, who was watching, looked at Lee Han in bewilderment.
‘Could it be that I didn’t see it?? Did they use magic??
The world of magic was wide, and of course there were magic to enhance strength and magic to enhance agility.
However, that was a spell that was too difficult for a freshman who had just entered school to use.
“Did you kill it!?”
“It looks like… they got rid of it.”
Lee Han put his staff down and checked the mutant pig’s breathing tube. It was definitely dead.
Yoner stood up with support. Then he said as if it were absurd.
“Is it okay for this class to be like this?”
“I’ve had that thought since I met the principal.”
No matter how much the secret to alchemy lies deep in nature, there are monsters like this wandering around where new students who have not properly learned magic roam around.
It was like a pig. Looking at its power, it wasn’t surprising that it could destroy a thick tree.
‘Shouldn’t I listen to alchemy?’
Lee Han thought seriously.
Assuming that the professors at this magic school are all a bit crazy, calculating the probability of death…
Wouldn’t the classes taken outside the classroom be higher than the classes taken inside the classroom?
I thought it was a bit of a raw class, but looking at the monsters I’m encountering now, it could be even more intense in the future.
“From now on, I can tell you to go deeper into the forest and collect at least some troll saliva.”
“Ugh…”
Yoner also furrowed his eyebrows, as if he was a little troubled by Lee Han’s words.
I wanted to open an alchemy workshop, but I didn’t want to die.
“Sleep… wait. “It’s not like you don’t want to hear it, right?”
Nilia spoke urgently.
Already poor friendship.
They were two barely-there friends. If these two did not show up for the alchemy class, Nilia would have to take it alone again.
“Isn’t that so!? Two… they both belong to the Blue Dragon Tower. Now, isn’t there something like pride?”
“I don’t have any.”

“I also think practicality is more important than fame…”
“……”
Nilia was completely upset by the words of the two great nobles.
“Okay, do whatever you want!”
“no. “Why are you sulking?”
“that’s right. “It’s not like I decided not to listen.”
“…really?”
The moment Nilia turned her head and asked, a familiar crying sound came from over there.
-■■■!
“…I guess it came out again.”
“…I might just not listen…”
“……”
* * *
What the three ran to find was the mutant pig they had just faced.
After learning that there were not one, but two or more of these guys around here, Lee Han quickly came to a conclusion.
“I guess I should stop listening.”
“hey…!”
“I don’t think now is the time to fight about that…”
Yoner pointed down.
The pig was not alone. They were threatening the unfortunate students.
‘Six people.’
There were six people, including the princess and Ardenart.
Much better situation than this group.
“Won’t you catch it on your own?”
“Yes?”
Yoner looked at Ihan once, then looked down again. And he looked at Lee Han again.
“Is that really the case?”
“Tell those bastards to take care of themselves.”
Nilia grumbled and said.
The group of followers following Aden Arth did not look very good.
They looked like a noble and arrogant princess and those who flattered her!
“I will deal with you!”
“!”
One out of six people came forward. Lee Han was also a nobleman whose face I had seen in the dormitory.
“Who is it?”
Of course, just because I saw the face didn’t mean I could recognize it right away. Although Lee Han knew the imperial noble families, he did not know the faces of their children.
“Asan Dal Card.”
“aha. “It’s the Dalkad family.”
“…I know the family, but why don’t I know the face…?”
Yoner was puzzled.
Dalkad family.
While the Wardanaz family was a family that served as advisors to the emperor for generations, the Dalkad family was a family that served as chancellors and treasurers of the empire for generations.
A family with a reputation for excellent and accurate work.
“I think I can trust it if it’s the Dalkad family.”
“huh. “Unlike Gainando, I think it’s trustworthy.”
“?”
Nilia, who was listening, tilted her head.
Did you just mention the prince?
Asan was tall and skinny, but his posture while holding a cane was believable.
Lee Han realized that Asan was quite skilled in swordsmanship.
How do masters recognize each other?
“That moon card also learned swordsmanship.”
“Indeed… if that’s the case, it’ll be okay.”
Yoner was relieved.
He didn’t want the six people below to get hurt.
Asan grabbed his staff and aimed it at the pig.
“I am reading your movements 100%.”
And one step.
“You cannot escape my prediction. pig!”
And one step.
The strides were exactly the same as if drawn with a ruler. Lee Han was slightly impressed.
‘Is it a human campus?’
The swordsmanship of the empire was as diverse as magic.
Strong and heavy swordsmanship, fast and light swordsmanship, varied and complex swordsmanship…
And Allarlong said that there is also a sword technique like the one Asan is using now.
-Geometric swordsmanship that creates a shape based on complex mathematical calculations based on your position every time you step…
-oh. It looks fun, can you learn it?
-…yes!? You think that looks fun!? Doesn’t that sound like crazy swordplay?
Allarlong didn’t know the sword techniques, so he only taught him the sword techniques he knew, but when he saw Asan holding the staff and moving it, he remembered it.
Thorough!
-■■■!
When Asan taunted the pig by stepping on his feet, the pig also seemed to lose his temper.
It cried fiercely and rushed towards Asan.
Asan stepped aside, as if he were fighting a bull, and fiercely stabbed the pig’s side with his cane.
“under!”
-■!
bang!
And Asan flew away.
The angry pig suddenly stepped on the brakes and threw its body to the side.
“……”
“……”
Although it didn’t really hit me, the shock was quite significant. Asan rolled over.
“Tsk. “My calculations were wrong…”
“…He was just a guy who studied swordsmanship diligently…”
Lee Han muttered.
From the looks of it, he had studied swordsmanship diligently, but it seemed he had little practical experience.
So, the posture is okay, but you can’t predict the pig that’s attacking you and fly away!
“Let’s help.”
“!”
Nilia was surprised by Lee Han’s words.
I had no idea that he would step forward to help in that situation.
‘Is this the quality of nobility…?’
Unlike other nobles who only speak loudly, he takes the initiative and steps forward in a dangerous situation.
He looked like a nobleman, like something you only see in stories. Neilia was just a little bit moved.
“After you help me, I will be able to ask you for favors in other classes in the future. Tests and assignments too. Especially if it’s the princess’s connections.”
“……”
Nilia’s emotion disappeared.
Hey, you snob…!
* * *
Aden Arth gestured backwards.
The meaning was clear even without words.
The four remaining students hurriedly hid behind Aden Arth.
It won’t really be hidden, but…
Adenard suddenly felt lonely.
She was the one who said Vicky, but she wasn’t happy about the situation.
But this too is just a mission that must be accomplished.
Just like all the other things he had done perfectly so far, Adenart planned to do this pig perfectly as well.
‘Read your breath. If you rush…’
Sigh!
The pig rolled to the side with a loud noise.
“?!??!”
And Lee Han appeared behind him, sighing in relief.
“Luckily I wasn’t caught.”
“Do you understand how important it is to approach against a headwind?”
“okay. “The hunter’s wisdom is amazing.”
“…If I continue taking alchemy classes, maybe I can deepen my wisdom?”
“no. “I don’t like that.”
“……”
Lee Han had already made up his mind.
I hate alchemy!
‘I will live in the classroom.’
Aden Arth froze for a moment, but soon recovered his emotions and lowered his head.
“…Thank you. Wodanaz.”
“It’s nothing special. Princess.”
Nilia, who was listening next to me, whispered incredulously.
-Why do you speak politely?
-That’s right. I too was caught up in the atmosphere.
Since everyone was the same age and there were school rules, speaking informally was normal regardless of social status, but when the princess spoke like that, I started using polite language without realizing it.
“really. “If you feel indebted to me, may I ask you a favor?”
Adenard nodded.
“If there is a course that is good for getting good grades, please recommend it.”
As the princess has a wider network than Lee Han, she must have gained a lot of knowledge.
Lee Han thought so.
“……”
Of course, it was a slightly mind-boggling sound for Aden Arth.
What is this wizard of House Wardanaz talking about?
I’m sure you’re not asking because you want to eat the lecture, but is there some other meaning?
“I know a class that will get good grades!”
A dwarf’s voice that I had heard before came from behind me.
Lee Han suddenly felt a creepy ominous feeling.
Just like when I met my old graduate school professor…
widely-
The dwarf professor, thunderous, grabbed Lee Han by the collar as he quickly tried to get out of the way.
And then he spoke in a pleasant voice.
“That is an alchemy lecture. Wodanaz.”
“……”
