Episode 1237
‘Professor Thunder’s Step is still shameless.’
The Golem student who had spread his distance checked his surroundings. Fortunately, Professor Thunderstep did not seem to be secretly chasing him.
It was absolutely impossible to underestimate him, as he would immediately pass on his work to his students if he let his guard down even for a moment.
“I came here on the orders of Professor Clair.”
-Please come in.
The Death Knights opened the door to the teaching cell.
The Golem student stopped walking after entering. There was something he had to do before going down any further.
‘Okay. Let’s open it.’
The golem student took out a well-sealed piece of parchment from his bosom.
In fact, the reason why the Golem student couldn’t tell Professor Thunderwalk exactly why he was going to the professor’s punishment cell was simple.
Even he himself didn’t know exactly.
A true secret is best kept when even the wizard himself doesn’t know about it.
It may have seemed like a slightly eccentric means of communication, but it was commonplace for the precognitive wizards who cared about every single meaningless action.
-Okay. Once you enter the punishment cell, open this letter. Don’t open it before you arrive! If you open it, something dangerous will happen to you!
-All right.
-You must never open it first, because something really, really dangerous will happen!
-Okay, I understand.
The Golem student trusted his teacher, even though he did not know what kind of dangerous future he had foreseen.
Although he was sometimes selfish and used his disciples as arrow shields for the future, he was usually trustworthy…
To avoid bad luck, you must follow the following instructions in order.
1. Let him go down with the Death Knights.
2. When you reach the target floor, ask the knights to lock the door from the outside.
3. Talk to the wizard on the floor and the Oculugard.
‘It’s difficult. The future is always difficult.’
The Golem student thought carefully.
The more I learned about precognition magic, the more I realized that wizards were nothing more than leaves in the face of the vast ocean that is the future.
To feel proud about having discovered a little of the future was like feeling proud about seeing the water rushing past you. Meanwhile, a storm and a tidal wave would be raging overhead.
Now, this instruction was difficult, but it was not entirely impossible to guess.
‘Does going down with the Death Knights mean you’re a dangerous person? Honestly, I thought it would be Professor Verdus… No. Professor Verdus can be dangerous too.’
When I think about it that way, it makes sense why he asked the knights to lock the door from the outside.
If it was Professor Burdus, he could have escaped.
But the ending was really unexpected.
Oculugarde, a magic school where the Empire’s mad prognostic wizards gather to hone their foresight.
The Einrogard School of Prophetic Magic naturally interacted with them.
Although they weren’t as close as the Ainrogard School of Dark Magic and the Kalarogard School (although they were strangely close), it was natural that they could not help but interact with each other as members of the same school.
But why am I telling you the story of Professor Burdus and Oculoguard?
‘What does it matter?’
Nothing came to mind except sending Professor Burdus’ head as a gift to the Oculugarde wizards.
The Golem student stopped guessing and took action.
“Could you please come down with me?”
-I see. I understand.
The Death Knights nodded in understanding to the Golem Student’s words.
Anyone who wanted to order the current successor around had to risk their life.
Those who were commissioned from outside were better off because they were outsiders. If it was an insider of Ainrogard who ordered it for personal gain…
…it might have been natural to take an escort down with you.
But this student seemed to be mistaken about one thing.
‘If Professor Garcia flies in, we’ll fall back.’
‘I can’t believe you didn’t think of that. What a shame.’
The knights exchanged glances.
They had little intention of interfering with the affairs of professors and students.
Especially if it’s an angry Professor Garcia!
“And once I get inside, can you please lock the outside door? Don’t open it until the specified time has passed.”
-Shouldn’t you be locking the inside, not the outside? Well, I get it. I can do that much.
The knights’ remarks made the Golem students even more nervous.
Didn’t the fortune teller say there would be a lot of bad luck this week?
What on earth is going on…
Squeak-
The golem student carefully opened the door and stepped onto the stairs.
“Professor, I have reflected on my actions. Please allow me to take Eandurde’s exam again.”
“Joorin, I will pray like this too!”
“I don’t think that even the Umando Wardanaz family would make the same mistake…”
“???”
The Golem student came down the stairs, feeling strange in the punishment room hallway, which was much more lively than he had expected.
And then he stuck his head out.
Professor Bagreg was the first to discover the family.
‘Ah. Did Professor Bagrek tell you to be careful?’
But there’s nothing more to say about the Oculo Guard story, right?

What he discovered next confused the Golem students even more.
‘His Majesty the King… even the Inspector? What? Why?’
I wondered if the skeleton principal had attacked and imprisoned the inspector.
Finally, the back of a familiar student’s head came into view. Lee Han turned his head when he heard heavy footsteps.
“Ah. Senior!”
“…AAAAAAAAAHH …
At that moment, the Golem student realized everything and cried like a wizard from an old story.
All the clues fit together like a puzzle, strongly warning of a certain future.
ruin!
“???”
“what’s the matter?”
Even Yoner, who was working with Joanen in another cell, came running out, looking puzzled.
Lee Han and his friends were confused by the sight of Senior Golem crying.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Isn’t it because His Majesty the Uman is here?”
“Ugh, ugh. Everyone… I’m sorry…”
While Uman was apologizing, Senior Golem cried again.
“It was Wodanaz! Professor Kraer, you! You abandoned me to Wodanaz twice!”
“……”
Lee Han looked slightly hurt.
Isn’t that too much?
“No. Senior. You’re abandoning me. Aren’t you being too harsh?”
“Open it! Open it!!”
Senior Golem ignored Lee Han’s words and ran up the stairs and knocked on the door.
Of course, the Death Knights pretended not to hear.
-Ah. So that’s why you asked me to lock it outside.
-They’re smart too. They say that precognitive wizards can see the future.
“I told you to open it!!”
* * *
Only after some time had passed did Senior Golem come to his senses.
Or maybe he was a little resigned. The great alchemists had made a potion that would work on golems, but he just shook his head sadly.
“Hey, senior. Don’t be too discouraged. This isn’t a bad place either.”
“…I didn’t come here to be locked up in the punishment cell, I came here to deliver the professor’s message…”
“Yes? Professor Kraer? Why don’t you come in person?”
“That’s why!”
Senior Golem pounded the floor in anger.
You are such a vile author!
Lee Han honestly still felt bad about the rude remark he had made earlier, but he still spoke first because the other person was his senior.
“Senior. Actually, this incident is a bit exaggerated.”
“This incident?”
Senior Golem asked back, seemingly puzzled.
What is this incident?
“…Uh, by any chance… do you know what happened recently?”
“What happened?”
Lee Han realized that he had never heard the rumors because his partner did not go out much.
‘Indeed. That’s what Professor Clair was aiming for. He’s mean, but he’s excellent. He deserves to be called a true precognition wizard!’
“It’s nothing. Nothing special.”
Senior Golem wasn’t fooled.
If he is not guilty, why is this junior here?
“If nothing happened, why are you here?”
“I punched Professor Burdus on the street. I came here because my actions were considered serious.”
It was a truly insincere lie, but it was also secretly persuasive.
Both the motive and the result made sense.
“Then why Professor Bagreg…”
“The professor held me from behind so I couldn’t run away.”
Senior Golem was speechless. At this point, he was afraid to even ask about the two royal families.
Did either of them throw a punch?
‘The two of them might have punched the principal…’
While the other person was in shock, Lee Han took the initiative in the conversation.
“But, Senior. If you haven’t heard any rumors recently, why are you so surprised? There’s no reason to be surprised, right?”
“I have some big bad luck this week.”
“yes.”
“I heard there’s going to be a lot of bad luck this week?”
“……”
Lee Han almost cried for a moment.
This senior?
“Are you sure that has anything to do with me? Is it right for a sorcerer who is supposed to read the future to have such prejudices?”
“Do I really have to tell you that you hung out with the principal’s clone last semester, and that you scared Professor Kraer this semester?”
“……”
Indeed, the senior students of Ainrogard were not easy. Lee Han cursed inwardly.
“Okay. Let’s stop since we’re running on parallel lines.”
“It doesn’t seem like parallel lines to me…”
“Why did you come?”
“Because of the Oculugard. I see. Now I understand. I wondered why the professor sent me.”
Senior Golem nodded as he spoke.
I wondered why I had to go all the way to the professor’s punishment room to talk about other magic schools, but it made sense when it was this junior.
Although he is only a second-year student, his reputation is well-known and many magicians are showing great interest in him.
If it was this junior, there was a high possibility that he would have an advantage in negotiating with that tightly packed Oculo Guard.
“Okurogard? Oh, you mean the magic school of the foresight wizards?”
“Yes. The professor is currently trying to contact Oculugard and set up a meeting. Or at least something similar.”
Lee Han wasn’t surprised.
Because I knew where that story started.
Even during this vacation, Professor Garcia visited the magic school Petroguard and tried to contact them…
‘Professor Garcia must have spoken to Professor Kraer.’
Even His Majesty the Emperor was very interested in the exchange and unity of these magic schools.
If the people of the Empire (especially the bureaucrats) see this, they will be able to feel that these eccentric wizards are not just causing trouble, but are contributing to the continent.
Of course, the magic schools weren’t really interested. Most of the magic schools in the empire hated each other.
“I think I know what you mean. I’ve heard similar stories.”
“Really?! That’s great.”
“Wait a minute. Can we talk amongst ourselves for a moment?”
Senior Golem was surprised by his junior’s words, but nodded.
It seemed clear that there was something serious to be said about Oculoguard.
As the opponent distanced himself, Lee Han whispered to Professor Boladi.
“Professor, did you apply the soundproofing spell properly?”
“okay.”
“That’s great. What I was wondering was…”
Joanen listened intently to what his brother’s friend was saying.
Could it be that they are preparing some kind of magical plot to persuade or subdue Oculoguard?
“…The senior who came to entrust this work to me, do you think Professor Garcia is guilty or innocent?”
“Could it be innocent? But this is a public matter.”
“It seems like Jo Woo-rin is guilty. It’s a public matter, but it’s not something that Lee Han should be doing!”
“……”
Joanne found it hard to believe that the future leaders of the empire were having such a serious conversation.
