Episode 976
Delet felt the greatest absurdity he had ever felt today.
Are you saying that??
“Well, well. “Why?”
“Hmm.”
Yukveltyre was lost in thought.
First of all, the two had a lot in common.
Both were in the 5th grade and were from the same school as the juniors of the Wardanaz family.
‘I don’t know. ‘Why?’
If we had this much in common, it wouldn’t be strange if our juniors heard the same thing.
“…think a little more.”
“There is a difference between the Blue Dragon Tower and the Black Turtle Tower.”
“That’s not necessarily important… no. “Keep going.”
“Is it because I am a member of the royal family? Was my junior’s family an aristocratic faction?”
“……”
“Dirette? Delet?”
When Yukbeltire, who was thinking about it, looked up again, his friend, the crow beast, was already walking far away.
Yukveltire felt sorry for his friend’s rude attitude.
It’s a shame because she’s a generous person, but if it were any other wizard, she would definitely have been angry at Direth.
‘That kind of rude attitude wouldn’t be good for Delet either…’
* * *
The 4th year brass golem looked at the professor with worried eyes like other students of the Prescient Magic School.
Due to the nature of his school, Professor Passelette was prone to mania.
Precognition magic was like a deadly poison that acted on the wizard’s mind, and the longer it was used, the more likely it was to fall into madness. The professor’s personality was not divided into many branches for no reason.
But today it was especially severe.
“Oooooh it’s coming! “Ohhhh, it’s coming!”
“Did you have that kind of personality?”
“well…”
“You are more senior than me. Are you going to continue to be a golem?”
“huh? huh.”
“Aren’t you frustrated?”
The other juniors knew very well why their senior had been transformed into a golem.
It was to avoid and endure dangerous misfortune.
The enemy of the precognitive wizards was not only madness.
The future distorted by observations, the misfortunes that came as a result, and even the bureaucrats who occasionally visited and whined to predict the empire’s next year’s output were all enemies of the foresight wizard.
Golem Senior was a student who actively challenged foresight magic as much as his outstanding skills, and as a result, he suffered many misfortunes and had to pay a price.
It wasn’t that strange that he transformed into a golem to block and avoid it.
…It’s been so long.
“It’s frustrating. So you changed the material. From bronze to brass.”
“…I see, I see.”
Even within the school of wisdom magic, there is a hierarchy of insanity.
The other juniors changed the topic instead of asking Golem Senior.
“By the way, senior. Professor, why are you doing that? Is this a new personality?”
“No… I think you saw a very ominous future.”
“The end is coming!”
Professor Passelette screamed, sinking deep into his armchair.
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like I fell into a temporary state of frenzy after seeing an ominous future rather than a new personality.
“Have we seen a future in which the empire will fall?”
“The professor doesn’t just see that future as easy.”
Even a wizard like Professor Passelette needed extensive preparation, work, and a huge budget to predict the distant future.
Such foresight did not suddenly proceed at a time like this. At most, it would be a short future of about a day or two.
“Is there anything that could happen in a day or two that is so dangerous and ominous?”
“I don’t know. But you never know what will happen in the future…”
Even Golem-senpai had no idea.
Is there anything that will happen in the next day or two that will shock the professor like that?
“Will the support money from the empire be reduced?”
“Even if we get cut, the Black Magic School will get cut, so there will be no reason for us to get cut.”
“Then maybe it’s a question about the professor’s identity? “Professor Einrogard’s position has been extended…”
“Our school doesn’t have enough wizards to replace us, so the professor must have known in the first place, right? “There’s no reason to be shocked now.”
The students thought about their own reasons for why the professor would be shocked, but nothing in particular came to mind.
Meanwhile, Senior Brass Golem clapped his hands.
“everyone. Prepare for lectures. “I guess I’ll take the lead today.”
“The professor also collapsed. Can’t we rest?”
“oh. no. “I looked into the future and realized that if I didn’t teach today, my juniors would fail.”
The students grumbled and sat down in their seats in response to the strict answer from their senior.
Sigh-
“Forgive me for being late.”
“no. Hasn’t started yet. sit down Junior.”

The brass golem opened the door and gestured as if it was okay with the junior coming in quickly.
“The professor is unwell today, so I will lead the proceedings.”
“Well. Are you okay?”
“You will recover soon. “You must have seen a strange future, but it keeps telling you that the end is coming… The end is coming!!!”
Senior Golem shouted in horror when he saw the person coming in behind Lee Han.
A humanoid skeleton headmaster was coming in!
“and. senior. “You follow along well.”
“Did you really shout like that?”
“huh. “It’s almost identical to that one.”
While the juniors were talking without understanding the situation, the Brass Golem student screamed again.
“The end is coming!”
“Seniors. “You can stop.”
“Why twice…?”
“Look behind, look behind!”
“?”
The students of the Prescient Magic School turned their heads.
Most people could not understand the situation even after seeing the crazy alter ego. In the first place, the skeleton principal’s human form is rarer than expected.
Among them, the student who happened to see the skeleton principal’s human form screamed the same way.
“The end is coming!”
“???”
“W-what kind of magic is this? “Why is everyone like this?”
“…sorry.”
Lee Han apologized on his behalf.
Actually, it wasn’t a big mistake that my crazy alter ego kept following me, but shouldn’t someone apologize?
When the junior explained it as best he could (of course, some adaptations were included), the seniors nodded.
It’s not a skeleton principal, but rather an alter ego of a skeleton principal. He was very interested in Einroguard magic education, so he suddenly visited…
‘I understand why the professor is like that!’
It felt like the students wanted to act crazy and shout that the end was coming.
What difference is there between a skeleton principal and a skeleton principal’s alter ego? It was equally burdensome to have the Archmage sitting next to him and watching the lecture.
“What are you doing? “Get started.”
“…Ah, yes.”
Senior Brass Golem was equally burdened.
I turned around stiffly and walked towards the blackboard, but then stumbled and fell.
thud!
“Is it because of bad luck!?”
“Oh, no. “What I just did was because I was nervous and my feet were twisted.”
“……”
Lee Han reflected deeply.
‘sorry!’
“You are younger than him. How was the last prophecy? “Did it help you avoid bad luck?”
When Golem senior looked at his junior, he remembered what happened last time and asked.
Last time, this junior received a strong prophecy to change the future.
‘It was a prophecy not to contact the royal family.’
Golem-senpai, who remembered that prophecy, soon found his way to other places as well.
Now that I think about it, wasn’t it a prophecy that I received a prophecy to escape and avoid the crazy clone of the headmaster?
The prophecy doesn’t really have any effect if it’s like that in the back…
“…I guess I didn’t protect it well.”
“Well, it looks like that.”
The thoughts that quickly passed through the junior’s expression revealed that a lot had happened in the meantime.
Other juniors also often experienced difficult times, but the emotions expressed by the junior in front of me right now were on a different level.
What on earth happened…
“Then let’s start the lecture… “Last time, I talked about astronomical magic.”
This magic, called astronomical magic, was a magic that borrowed and used the power of the stars.
Precognitive wizards inevitably had an interest in astronomical magic. If you were to use the power of spirits or demons to predict the future, you wouldn’t have a hundred bodies or souls left.
“The stars move according to heavenly laws. Thanks to this, excellent wizards can use the power of that movement to peek into the future. These observations lighten the wizard’s burden and prevent madness. If you’re more ambitious, you can sign a contract with the star yourself, but there’s no need to talk about that today. “I’m sure no one would be so greedy as to sign a contract with a star here today, right?”
The students burst out laughing at their senior’s joke.
But the two couldn’t laugh. It was Lee Han and his crazy alter ego.
Lee Han was sitting with a gloomy expression, as if he had chewed something. The crazy alter ego, who was also showing signs of disapproval, spoke to Lee Han.
“They are cowards. “You’re trying to be satisfied with just watching movement.”
“…oh. Then, how about a sharp admonishment from Master? “You too, make a contract with the stars.”
“There is no reason to interfere unnecessarily with those who are not disciples of the royal family.”
‘Tch.’
Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.
It seems like we can’t push the seniors here to sign with the stars.
“In today’s lecture, we will practice reading the movements of the stars and peeking into the future. Even if you can’t see it, there’s no need to push yourself too hard.”
Precognition magic was not something that could be achieved by forcing it.
Aptitude was especially important when it came to peeking into the future using astronomical magic.
One wizard may find inspiration for the future by observing the movement of a blue star, while another wizard may find no inspiration even after observing the same star for several years.
It was important to first find a star whose spirituality matched yours. Omens, fortune-telling, and rules followed.
“Well… how was it…”
After finishing his explanation, the Brass Golem senior stood in front of the crazy clone with a polite attitude.
Isn’t the ‘principal’ the same whether it’s a skeleton principal or an alter ego of a skeleton principal?
Of course, I couldn’t help but notice.
“It’s okay.”
“Thank you… thank you!”
Senior Brass Golem was overjoyed.
“But it is not without problems. “You teach younger students, but your attitude is too complacent.”
“…sorry.”
The senior became sullen again.
“But considering the level of wizards, such a complacent attitude can be excused. “Not everyone can learn from royalty.”
“Gam, thank you?”
“Even so, the fact that there continues to be no change is something that we as wizards should reflect on.”
“…I…I’m sorry. Archmage. “I’m not sure what I should do.”
“Let me explain it easily.”
The crazy clone answered calmly.
“You can teach other wizards in a complacent and lazy manner, but don’t treat this student like that. “Teach with strong motivation, like the fire of a newly born star.”
“Okay, I understand!”
The crazy alter ego presented the goal in a generous and generous manner.
Since he had signed a contract with the guest star Arna, it was clear that this disciple would also demonstrate outstanding skills in reading other wandering stars.
In that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to memorize the movements of one or two of the easy-to-read comets and novae.
The more various foresight magics are learned, the easier it is for a wizard to prepare for bad luck and the more carefully he or she can prepare for the future.
Of course, that was the standard for a crazy alter ego, not Lee Han’s standard. Lee Han just wanted to find the movement of the moon, blue stars, and red stars with his seniors.
“……”
Lee Han, who suddenly felt like he had been beaten for staying still, remained silent.
Then, while my crazy clone was not looking, I quietly whispered to Golem Senior.
“Is there any magic that can predict in advance what Master will say?”
