Episode 143
As the incident went more safely than expected, a thought occurred to Lee Han’s mind.
‘I live a good life and luck follows me.’
And then another thought occurred to me.
‘If I get another chance later, can I step on it?’
Lee Han shook his head.
Conceit brings danger.
No matter how fun it was, stepping on the professor’s toes twice was dangerous.
“professor. “I will treat them as guests from outside.”
“Do you want to do that?”
“yes.”
Lee Han said strongly. Professor Boladi did not bother to stop him.
This was because they were not very interested in guests from outside.
‘You must be excited about the festival.’
Professor Boladi thought that Lee Han must be excited about the festival.
Otherwise, why would they treat guests from places like Baldrogard like that?
“It’s an honor to meet you.”
The Baldrogard professor was impressed by Lee Han’s polite greeting.
The nobles of the empire would prove their lineage in even the smallest details.
Nobles can notice each other through the brief appearances they show at every moment, such as intonation, habits, and behavior.
This was why new low-class aristocratic families, who had accumulated wealth, were sometimes laughed at for trying to act like the empire’s historic great aristocratic families.
Although it was possible to build a luxurious mansion and property, it was not possible to build up the family time and customs.
And what the boy in front of me was showing was a look that only someone from a great noble family could show.
To the point where even the Baldrogard students who had been grumbling slightly quieted their mouths.
“What family are you from?”
“I am from the Wardanaz family.”
“Wardanaz! Indeed… it is worthy of admission to Einrogard.”
The other professor spoke with a sense of praise. But to Lee Han, it didn’t sound like much of a compliment.
‘It’s definitely a compliment to be worthy of admission to Einrogard, but I don’t understand why it sounds depressing.’
Lee Han changed the topic.
“I heard a lot about Baldrogard’s reputation here too.”
The students’ faces brightened slightly at those words.
I couldn’t help but feel that the praise given by the Einrogard student in front of me was the sweetest, more than anyone else’s.
Of course, Lee Han had never heard of Baldrogard’s reputation at school.
Who would talk about Baldrogard leisurely when they are busy eating, living, and doing assignments?
“is that so? “I’m very happy.”
However, it was clear that Lee Han’s white lie made the other person happy.
Everyone from Baldrogård seemed happy.
Lee Han, who was looking at the happy students, suddenly had a question.
‘But how can Baldrogard students visit someone else’s school festival?’
Baldrogard.
All Lee Han knew was that it was located in the western part of the empire, and that only people from noble families entered.
But isn’t that a magic school anyway?
It was clear that Baldrogard students were also suffering and struggling in the suffocating school.
But how?
“But how…did you come to visit the festival?”
“?”
The other professor did not immediately understand what Lee Han said.
“What do you mean?”
“So… students can’t go outside for now.”
“??”
The Baldrogard professor looked at Lee Han as if asking what he was talking about.
“Ah, you mean… I can’t go out during the lecture? Or at night?”
“…After lectures… in your spare time… you can’t go out of school, right?”
As Lee Han asked the question, he felt a creeping fear coming over him.
no way.
no way??
“It’s a joke too!”
The professor burst out laughing. Lee Han’s face hardened.
“Isn’t it?”
“No! They don’t let me go out of school during my free time. “Why would you do something like that?”
“oh…”
Without knowing Lee Han’s true feelings, the Baldrogard professor continued his explanation kindly.
There was a big city not far from Baldrogard, and after class, students would ride horses and go to the big city to enjoy various leisure activities.
Sometimes, energetic students would get drunk in the evening and cause trouble, but isn’t that inevitable when you’re young and energetic?
For nobles, such social activities were also important virtues.
‘Imperial nobles are really unlucky as hell.’
Lee Han thought to himself.

Those unlucky guys!
“So this trip… you came without any problems?”
“yes. “If students apply to gain experience by traveling around the empire, they are accepted.”
“But wouldn’t there be a rule that says no one can come out?”
Lee Han persistently inquired without even realizing it.
I felt like it would be too unfair if I didn’t do that.
“ah. “There are some.”
“also…! Are you saying that only people who have made great contributions to school can go?”
“That’s too harsh. “Any student who causes trouble in the city more than four times in a month will be banned from going out for a week.”
“……”
Lee Han seemed to know why Professor Boladi treated Baldrogaard like trash.
Isn’t the spirit of the nobles rotting because of such loose rules?
‘Let’s come to our senses.’
Lee Han composed himself.
I was jealous of the Baldrogard students, but what difference would that make if I did that now?
The important thing was to be visible to guests from outside.
I had to manage my network regularly. Because I didn’t know when and where I would use it.
The job you find after graduation may have a wizard from Baldrogard as your boss.
“What grade are you all in here?”
“Second and third years.”
“…Are you sure it’s okay for 2nd and 3rd graders to go together…? Oh, is it because we don’t have to be together as first graders?”
“What are you talking about…? First year students can also stay together. The first year students decided to travel to different places, so the direction changed.”
“!”
Lee Han was shocked once again.
Surprisingly, Baldrogard did not separate first graders!
‘…I guess so.’
When I thought about it, there was no reason to separate first-year students when going out into the city was possible.
“Why are you asking that question…? “Does Einroguard isolate first-year students?”
“yes.”
Lee Han answered honestly, but the guests from Baldrogard did not believe him.
Instead, I burst out laughing and admired Lee Han’s joke.
“Such a joke…!”
“Ahahahaha!”
“If you separate first year students, they can’t socialize, have parties, do club activities, anything!”
Lee Han looked at the sky with gloomy eyes.
‘I hope it goes out quickly.’
I didn’t think it would be that difficult to make a good impression on guests from outside, but it was harder than I thought.
* * *
Even when the conversation ended, the Baldrogard students did not leave.
Instead, they showed excessive curiosity about <Avoiding Water Beads> hanging on the tent.
“What is that?”
“This is an event being held during the festival.”
The Waldrogard students were polite but very motivated and eager to participate.
Of course, Lee Han didn’t want to throw water beads on the faces of the Baldrogard students.
It was said that there was nothing we could do about the White Tiger Tower students because they attacked even if we warned them, but Baldrogard students don’t even need a ticket to go out.
“Can we participate too?”
“It’s okay, but the prize is a ticket to go out. “Our school ticket won’t be of any use.”
“it’s okay! A more precious commodity than that is honor.”
‘Such trash.’
Lee Han was angry.
They say that Waldrogard students can go out when they are bored, but to Einrogard students, that ticket was almost as valuable as their lives.
People who don’t even know that are just looking for a ticket to go out for their own fame.
Are you saying that the nobles of the empire have no conscience?
“…All right. “Let’s participate.”
“!”
When Lee Han gave permission, the Baldrogard students raised their hands without saying who should go first.
I must prove that I am better than the Einrogard students!
“Please let me take the first step.”
“In terms of my magic skills, I should be the first to step forward. “Aren’t you the best at defensive magic?”
“There’s no need to go all the way to defensive magic. “I will solve it with my foresight magic.”
“With body strengthening magic…”
Seeing the students arguing, Lee Han raised his cane. And then he exchanged glances with Professor Boladi.
Professor Boladi nodded. Lee Han also nodded.
The two priests knew what to do without saying anything to each other.

Baldrogard?
The floating principal of the skeleton looked puzzled as he saw students from other schools leaving with their noses bleeding.
Did Baldrogard students come to visit?
“yes. “It seems I heard about the festival during my trip and visited.”
Tsk tsk… just travel leisurely. So, you can’t do magic.
“……”
Who hit you?
“well. “It’s natural to get injured when testing magic…”
The skeleton headmaster has enhanced hearing.
-Everyone, don’t be too frustrated. Because the other person was a senior who had been practicing magic longer than you all.
-But so one-sided…
-professor. Was the other person a 4th or 5th grader?
-ruler. It doesn’t matter. I’ll treat you, so when the bleeding stops, let’s go somewhere else.
?
The skeleton principal didn’t understand for a moment.
What kind of fourth- and fifth-year student with a swollen liver ignored the skeleton principal’s orders and stuck his head into the freshmen’s festival?
‘That can’t be possible?’
Those around 4th or 5th grade have a rough understanding of what school is like.
There was no way such a thing would be discovered. The headmaster quickly traced the nosebleed marks left by the Baldrogard students.
…aha!
Principal Skeleton understood everything when he saw Professor Boladi and Lee Han standing there.
no wonder!
Good job. You have raised the honor of Einrogard.
Lee Han, who saw the flying skeleton principal, lowered his head.
“no. “I’m just embarrassed that I hurt the other person because I couldn’t control my strength.”
no. It’s something that can’t be helped.
Lee Han was puzzled when the skeleton principal comforted him for some reason.
Since the Baldrogard guys are trash that plays house with the money of stupid nobles, it would have been inevitable that they would have had to use up some strength.
Surprisingly, Professor Boladi was relatively intact.
Lee Han responded to the skeleton principal’s verbal abuse without changing his expression.
“no. “The people at Baldrogard were also outstanding.”
Even if a guy who spent his senior year twisting a child’s wrist says that, it’s not persuasive at all! You need to show more arrogance.
“……”
Despite the skeletal principal’s impulses, Lee Han remained calm and unwavering.
Even in old stories, when the devil whispers something like that, if you ignore it, your life will be ruined.
When Lee Han didn’t react, the skeleton principal looked bored.
It’s not fun… Anyway, let’s go.
“Where do you mean?”
Professor Bagrek. Is time over?
Professor Boladi nodded to the skeleton principal’s question.
We had reached an agreement with Principal Skeleton to split the effort, and we had just used up the allotted time.
“It’s done.”
Professor Boladi put away the letters and closed the tent door.
Lee Han, who belatedly realized the situation, looked at Professor Boladi with shocked eyes.
“?”
Unfortunately, Professor Boladi did not understand Lee Han’s eyes. Lee Han thought to himself.
‘I thought I was going to step on your toe again.’
* * *
Do you know why I have to do this?
Lee Han answered politely as he followed the skeleton principal.
“This is because the principal is a worthy educator who cares about his students.”
…Don’t say anything gross or creepy. Because the emperor ordered it.
‘ah.’
Lee Han realized it too late.
I thought it was the principal’s hobby, but when I thought about it, it was too much fun for the new students for the principal’s hobby.
Of course, Lee Han wasn’t happy at all even though he was a freshman…
“How can I help you?”
this and that. Let’s start by making magic fireworks.
“Isn’t it usually used at the beginning of a festival?”
Lee Han was surprised that the skeleton principal had such good sense, but he also thought it might be a little late.
Are you planning to use it when it’s over?
I’m going to shoot at the students.
“……”
