Episode 997
When the wizard who had summoned the world to the back of the mountain range disappeared, the world dispersed like dawn driving away the darkness of night.
The light of the star that helped the wizard’s disciple also did its part and returned to heaven.
As the powerful forces disappeared one after another, the surroundings became quiet. The first to escape the shock was the skeleton principal.
…Well… it’s resolved.
The skeleton principal’s voice contained a nervousness that could not be hidden.
Ascension to heaven like that was a much better ending than having his alter ego reverse-summoned or being imprisoned forever.
This was especially true because he was a skeleton principal who had some regrets toward his clones.
However, I couldn’t help but feel the bitterness that the guy who had caused such a fuss, saying that he would rather destroy the school than kidnap a student from someone else’s territory, was convinced and ascended to heaven.
And above all, if he was someone who could ascend to heaven through persuasion…
…Couldn’t the Skeleton Headmaster have ascended to heaven before using astronomical gold coins to prepare the Great Magic?
‘It’s something that can’t be helped.’
The skeleton headmaster decided not to think about it for now. If you think about it, what can you do?
Batnaz, you worked hard too. For all my stubbornness, I still got lucky. Don’t do that in the future.
“……”
Batnaz?
Lee Han did not answer.
The skeleton principal, who belatedly realized that his student was protesting in silence, spoke as if it were absurd.
Batnaz, is it time for you to get angry? Even if I get angry, I have to do it! And at that level, it is a line drawing. Why are you doing this?
If it had been sealed forever, I could understand such a reaction.
If that were the case, Principal Skeleton would have said, ‘Make a fuss as you please, I will follow my own path.’
He was already used to the petty complaints of his poor students.
However, Lee Han’s reason was a little different from what the skeleton principal expected.
“If only the principal had not interfered, he would have at least ascended to heaven in a much more stable situation. Leave a longer will as well. “You were able to leave a message to your other friends as well…”
…Is Ascension just farmland!?
The headmaster was even more bewildered by the emotional reason that was so different from the reasons for the complaints shown by his students so far.
Other students have risen up for reasons such as not teaching them magic, not giving them missions, underestimating themselves as wizards, etc., but this guy is saying this just because he wasn’t given time to leave a will?
It is a combination of celestial time, earthly time, and human time. Rather, I should be thanked! If I hadn’t pushed you, you wouldn’t have been able to unleash Arna’s power, and then he wouldn’t have been able to ascend to heaven and would have been imprisoned!
Either way, Lee Han protested in silence.
The skeleton principal seriously considered hitting him, but then gave up.
The disciple’s condition was already not good, perhaps because he was overexerting himself, but because he had used Arna’s power, he was completely in tatters.
“What happened?”
Did you come? Professor Bat.
When Professor Boladi, who had just been temporarily banished to another dimension, returned, the skeleton principal made a sarcastic comment.
Of course, Professor Boladi was not swayed by such words. The only people who would be shaken by such words would be Baldrogard students.
The skeleton principal gave up on being sarcastic and explained the situation. At least it was a small consolation to see the surprise on Professor Boladi’s face spread like wildfire.
“Then there was no reason for you to come out so strongly, then?”
…Shut up.
* * *
The most unfortunate skeleton headmaster in the empire had no time to worry about holding on to the most petty student in Einrogard.
The dream curtain was immediately removed and the wizards waiting below were brought back. Even now, gold equivalent to the weight of giants was being consumed every second.
-It worked out well, so it’s good to return.
-yes? But, Lord Gonadaltes, you invested so much gold for this magic, right?
-…You said it worked out well. Everyone please return.
-But… When we told you that this magic was extremely expensive and the preparation process was generally impossible, you said there was no other way. But you said it worked out well without using this? Isn’t it a waste?
-…go away-!
-Ugh!
Wizards who had been invited from all over the empire in exchange for a large ransom returned home shocked by the exciting Einroguard-style sendoff.
Putting aside the flash of gold invested in this spell, the skeleton headmaster returned to focusing on reality.
You knights. You knights who reverence loyalty and honor, and who sacrifice their swords to their masters. I think you guys missed a lot of reports to me.
-……
-……
The Death Knights nodded, appropriately omitting these related matters while the Skeleton Headmaster was away.
And then he turned around.
Where are you going?
-Go to the punishment room.
……
The skeleton headmaster was grateful for the absence of a physical body.
If I had a body, I would definitely be feeling a stabbing headache.
Originally, the Death Knights, even if they were disciples, did not go down that easy.
But Batnaz seemed to have a strange knack for manipulating people, and before he knew it, he was treating those knights like his minions.
Before you go, report anything you missed.
-…Can’t I just stay in the punishment room longer?
……
The skeleton principal trembled at those words.
…Is there something else you haven’t figured out?
…Report it properly before everyone is demoted to skeletons.
The Death Knights, who had attacked with their swords crossed in front of the evil dragon, hesitantly avoided eye contact and opened their mouths.

-His Majesty Jo Woorin… he…
Fortunately, I know that. Even His Majesty knows this. It’s not your fault.
The skeleton principal sighed lightly.
Jo Woo-rin’s genius resourcefulness astonished both the skeleton headmaster and the emperor, who were wondering how to permanently imprison his crazy alter ego.
It was a ploy that would chill the conversation between people.
-Fortunately, the! Then, I guess you know that His Highness Jo Woo-rin brought out a dragon stone for his disciple, that he was banned from going out, and that he sneaked out and put his disciple on his back and together subdued the clones?
…what?
The headmaster of the skeleton, who was about to write a letter to the emperor, saying, ‘The solution was better than expected and one of the continent’s problems has disappeared, so please extend the repayment period,’ stopped.
What did you just say?
What kind of subjugation? Ride it on your back? Are you saying you were chosen?
-……
-…Actually, Professor Bagrek and Professor Kim were there.
The death knights desperately shared responsibility in the face of the threat of a second death.
The skeleton principal closed his eyes, remembering the shameless face of the vampire professor.
‘…I should have kicked you out when you said you wanted power…’
Still, he wasn’t that mean in the past, so I couldn’t even guess how he ended up becoming such a mean wizard.
The skeleton headmaster came out of shock. As he was a transcendent wizard, he recovered quickly.
okay. i get it. In fact, if you jump on the dragon’s back, Batnaz will be at your loss. It’s none of my business.
The contractor chosen by the dragons needed a lot of responsibility instead of relying on that support.
It is an unreasonable contract that has been handed down since time immemorial, in which if a dragon causes an accident, the contract holder is also punished by other dragons.
As he was a party to the contract more than anyone else, Principal Skeleton knew full well how cumbersome the contract was. It was a fitting punishment for a naughty student.
-Thank goodness!
The voices of the death knights became a little brighter.
-So, is it okay for you to take out the dragon stone and subdue the clone?
Are you okay?
The skeleton principal had a straight face.
The emperor might not care, but it was clear that if the imperial officials found out, they would be foaming at the mouth and throwing a fit.
I’ve already earned the hate of many people because of this preparation for self-immolation…
-Wouldn’t it have been better to persuade?
-Shh, you also agreed that threats were faster back then, so why are you doing this now?
-But now that I think about it, hanging the treasurer upside down is a bit…
-You apologized. It would be okay if you apologized. The other person also accepted the apology.
Everyone, shut up. okay. For now… let’s skip this for now. Your Majesty is not the kind of person to go somewhere and make a fuss.
Jo Woo-rin was not a socialist. Even for imperial officials, this was likely to be difficult to understand.
The headmaster decided to think so and moved on to the next topic.
But what did the self-immolation guy do to subdue him? Did they kidnap you again during that time?
-The situation seems to have turned around, and he declared that he would subjugate the continent. The disciple called the Yasha King of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas to solve the problem…
Garcia!!! Boladi!!!
The skeleton principal eventually exploded.
Even though professors are like that, they cover all of this up??
Even if there was no immediate problem with the student, there was a degree of short-sightedness.
Sometimes, if you feel like your student is falling into the abyss of evil, shouldn’t you yell at him harshly?
If that were the case, there wouldn’t have been any whining about that one alter ego.
Even Professor Garcia is like this, does this mean there really isn’t a single wizard you can trust?
-Um… master.
What?
-The master told me not to make useless reports while preparing magic with His Majesty…
The death knight who displayed inhumanity was immediately moved to the deep punishment room.
Can’t you even tell what is a useless report? I guess that Yacha guy is suspicious. He could have been shamelessly manipulating.
Principal Skull suspected that the reason the professors omitted the report was some trick of the Yasha King.
This Yaksha, who has a knack for reading the sky and the future, has long used clever tricks to put people in trouble.
It would not have been surprising at all if the two professors had been persuaded by the Yaksha King and postponed their report.
He probably whispered darkly, ‘The current state of the clone is very good, and the student is being taught well. Rather than reporting to the skeleton headmaster and causing conflict, why not watch over the student?’
He said we were somehow too close. It’s too bad the professors can’t stop it… Next!
-Well, the fight I had with the evil god worshiper in Grandeur City was…
I heard that.
-Then what about the contract you made with the main body of the beast of death and darkness that Professor Mortum brought with you?
…I didn’t know that, but I think it might be possible.
The skeleton principal spoke in a detached manner.
It seems that he visited the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas and became friendly with the Yasha King, so I wasn’t that surprised anymore.
I became friends with Perkuntra in the first place…
It may be a new thought, but Batnaz had a knack for seducing truly powerful transcendents. Perhaps it is because of that dastardly cunning.
If you met the main body of the guy Mortum brought with you, your wounds must have healed.
-yes. It looks like that.
The death knights sighed in relief.
From what I was talking about, it seemed like I hadn’t heard any rumors about the accident caused by a new magician named Stedal Naggo.
The skeleton principal felt puzzled.
This was a surprising enough story, but it had already surprised the capital.
But why did you bring up the story of Grandeur City? Is there a story there that I don’t know?
-no. Just to check… well. Do you know that Professor Bagrek used the artifact?
Know. You probably mean the Stone of St. Iactus.
The skeleton principal answered in a somber manner.
At the beginning of the semester, Professor Boladi borrowed an artifact to save a student who was kidnapped by a crazy clone.
Of course, there was no way the skeleton principal would have stored such a relic so carelessly. It was deliberately calculated and placed.
-Fortunately, the! Still, I was surprised. Aside from the stone of Saint Iactus, I never thought he would lend me even a drop of water from Anavadatta…
…Did you also take the droplets of Anavadatta and use them?
-……
-……
The death knights thought it was a mistake.
