Chapter 388
“Everybody now…”
Even before Sharukal finished speaking, the divine power that had spread from Lee Han’s body disappeared without bearing any fruit.
Although he succeeded in creating divine power, he was unable to materialize it as magic.
But that alone was great enough. Originally, most followers couldn’t even create divine power.
Divine power is the basis and source of divine magic.
Those who once created divine power will eventually reach divine magic someday.
“Huh…”
“Huh…”
A sigh of relief leaked out from everywhere.
No matter who heard it, it was a sigh that meant ‘I’m glad’.
“…Not everyone is happy right now, right?”
Sharukal said in a slightly sullen voice.
If it’s the same priest, no matter how different the church members are, shouldn’t they pray for the awakening of divine magic?
Even though the gods they serve are different, they are comrades walking the same path!
“Oh no.”
“It could be.”
“Actually, a little…”
Priest Nigisor, who tried to admit it honestly, was blocked by the other priests.
In fact, if it were another believer, he would have been able to congratulate him innocently, saying, “Congratulations for awakening to divine magic.”
But Lee Han was a little different.
If Lee Han awakens to the divine magic of the Agltakwa Church, he might end up cutting off his interest in other churches, thinking, ‘Actually, my faith was in Agltakwa.’
For the priests, it ended without a chance to show their faith.
Besides, there was one more reason.
Awakening the divine power itself means that you have the qualities of faith and belief.
Quite a few followers were unable to awaken their divine power, so it was a very rare talent.
In other words…
if you take him now and convince him well, there is a high possibility that he will awaken the divine magic of another church!
In fact, in the case of Priest Nigisor, he said what he had to say even when other priests shut his mouth.
“Now that you have awakened your divine power, but seeing that your divine magic is not manifesting, isn’t it your faith toward Agltakwa, but toward other gods?”
“be quiet.”
Priest Tigiling made her mouth shut.
While talking like that, Professor Garcia approached, puzzled.
It was rare for the Phoenix Tower students to gather like this and do other things during lectures.
“What are you all doing? Are there any blockages?”
“ah. professor. Right now, Han Lee of the Wardanaz family was talking about which church’s holy magic to awaken.”
“…Is my lecture boring?”
* * *
After that, the students conscientiously focused on underwater breathing magic.
It was never because I was afraid of Professor Garcia. It was because I didn’t want to disappoint Professor Garcia, who was always kind to the students.
“Lee Han. Are you going to our top lounge?”
“It’s not?”
“…I’m going to the resting room of the Phoenix Tower. that’s right I guess so.”
Kainando said while avoiding his gaze.
“I’m going to go work in the garden.”
“ah!”
Kainando’s face brightened.
“Good. You too come and help.”
“ah.”
Gainando’s face darkened.
“Actually, I have nothing to do…”
“In Cainan, that bastard has nothing to do. They said they were making a new deck of cards this afternoon.”
My friends at the Blue Dragon’s Tower kindly reported it to me. Lee Han nodded.
“If you don’t have one, you can come and help.”
“…I was on duty yesterday too…!”
“??”
Lee Han was puzzled by Gainando’s words.
Are you on duty?
“Did you guys take care of things while I was gone? Such an admirable…”
It was honestly touching.
Of course, if the students of the Black Turtle Tower heard it, they would say, ‘Why is that guy in Wardanaz so moved by that?’, but the students of the Blue Dragon Tower were basically guys who had never even changed their clothes in their lives.
Those who know how to clean up the messy rest room on their own if Lee Han doesn’t give instructions one by one.
I was moved by the fact that such students entered the second semester, set their own shifts and worked hard.
‘Einro Guard’s positive function was here.’
“ah. It’s not…”
“?”
let me explain
Several of the Blue Dragon Tower students screamed and almost passed out.
The skeleton headmaster floated down from above, not from the side or back.
Headmaster Skeleton never scared a student the same way.
You wouldn’t know because it happened while you were gone. You know, you ironheads spent a semester here. There must have been some wisdom in my empty head. Of course, it would be lighter than down.
“……”
“……”
The students frowned at the heartwarming skull principal’s praise.
So in the second semester, I decided to give you guys a little more freedom.
The Headmaster Skeleton spoke in a kind and gentle voice, but no one was fooled.
Lee Han asked, still not understanding.
“What freedom? Even if you are allowed to go out every weekend…”
Did you lose your mind just because you came 2 weeks late? Anyone who hears it will know you’re a professor.
“…Then what?”
Everyone is free to take responsibility for the work of the school.
Skeleton Headmaster kindly explained.
While Lee Han was gone, all the other first-year students had heard the explanation.
Each tower was given the responsibility of taking care of school chores while taking turns.
Clean up the scrapyard of the alchemy workshop, clean up the kitchen storage on the 1st floor, tidy up the classroom messed up in the aftermath of the experiment, clean up near the stables, etc.
Given the expansive grounds of Ein Rogard and the nearly infinite interiors of the buildings, there were endless chores for the students to do.
Principal Skeleton gave the students the freedom to do these chores.
“and.”
Sometimes there are students who misunderstand about magic school, but this magic school is not a prison. It just grants you the freedom you deserve. How much it would hurt my heart if I let you go and get hurt even though you don’t deserve it.
“You are truly amazing.”
yes?
Thinking that he had ruined the students’ fun enough, the skeleton headmaster flew back into the air.
Gainando looked at Lee Han with a melancholy face.
“I couldn’t even play yesterday because I was cleaning up the naturally occurring slimes.”
“Right. Come and help.”
“…?!”
It was clearly in an atmosphere to watch, but Gainando was taken aback by Lee Han’s merciless escort.
Weren’t you watching?
“So what’s the Phoenix Tower’s job?”
“ah. You will be assigned a new assignment this evening.”
“Right. Since I haven’t done anything for two weeks, I want to participate.”
At Lee Han’s words, the faces of the priests suddenly hardened. Seeing this, Lee Han hesitated.
‘What mistake did I make?’
“Can I join too?”
“What are you talking about… You worked hard last week, so you should rest this week. I decided to do it this week.”
“What does turn matter in helping work? haha.”
“You’re overworked and you get sick. Take a break.”
Seeing the priests scramble to work, Lee Han shook his head and turned around.
Gainando, who did not know the inside story, was very envious.
“and. Priests try to work on their own. I really envy you.”
“Be quiet and let’s go to work.”
* * *
The vegetable garden behind Professor Thunderwalker’s cabin was quite cluttered while I wasn’t looking.
Lee Han, like Gainando, cleaned up the surroundings and fed the chickens.
The chickens, recognizing Lee Han, who had returned after a few months, were happy and let out squealing cries.
Kainando swallowed.
“Are you going to catch that?”
“It’s for getting eggs.”
“Hing.”
Gainando still wanted an egg, so he tried to pet the chickens.
However, the chickens did not leave the evil wizard alone and immediately pecked it with their beaks.
“evil! These children!”
“Cainan Island. Stop playing and come over here and clear some weeds. I must plant a new seed here.”
Gainando, who was gasping for chores, suddenly remembered and asked.
“for a moment. Can’t we summon the undead? They can work too!”
“It’s a good idea, but the undead aren’t suited to this sort of thing. It has bad magic attached to it.”
“……”
Cainando cursed black magic inwardly.
It was magic that really didn’t help much in life.
After sweating for nearly two hours, it was almost finished. Lee Han packed vegetables, mushrooms, eggs, and canned marinated meat in a basket and gave them to Gainando.
“Take it and share it.”
“Good good! I will cook well!”
“no. You don’t do the cooking. Just give it to me.”
“……”
Cainando became pouty.
“I can do well if I cook too…”
“No. Just give it to me.”
“…huh.”
Taking the basket, Kainando tilted his head. Even if it was vegetables, the rest of the foodstuffs were unfamiliar.
“But wasn’t this in the professor’s cabin…?”
“Go back soon. I’m going to do some more tidying up.”
Lee Han sent Gainando away.
Then I saw Professor Thunderwalk and Professor Lightning Walk walking from afar.
“I thought it was somehow tidy, but you cleaned it up. Good job.”
Professor Lightning Walk smiled broadly and praised Lee Han.
“I had a lot of trouble inside. Did you manage to find such a ruin?”
“I was lucky.”
The thunder walk professor who was listening next to him said as if he was dumbfounded.
“Is that lucky?”
“That’s just lucky. Did you find it and came out safely?”
“What is that… Really. The prince came out earlier. Is the canned food in his basket mine…?”
“Anyway, it’s nice to see you two like this!”
Lee Han immediately changed the topic.
“okay. I’m a little late, so I work really hard to catch up… no. A little hard… No. Just relax. I will still follow you.”
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded by Professor Thunderwalk’s rough words.
“I have to work hard. How can I keep up with you if you feel comfortable?”
“Because you’re the kind of person who will work hard even if I tell you to do it comfortably.”
“really. Have you been to Professor Bagreg?”
The lightning-walking professor put down the battery he was holding with a ‘thud’ and said. On the bag was written < Food for Basilisks >.
“…I haven’t been there yet, but why would you ask such a question…?”
“uh? Wasn’t it decided to raise a basilisk? Didn’t you hear?”
“……”
Lee Han became sullen when he heard the name of the monster he had forgotten.
Even during vacation, Professor Voladi brought a basilisk egg and said, ‘I have to raise this guy well so that he will try hard to kill you’.
Of course, the exact words were slightly different, but the meaning was roughly the same.
‘If I catch a basilisk later, I’ll have to throw it at the duke’s mansion.’
Lee Han cursed the duke and said.
“Yes… I knew you were trying to hatch an egg.”
“okay. They’re trying to hatch them this semester. The egg was in good condition, so it seemed possible. It will be a good experience for you too.”
“Yeah… well…”
It could have been a good experience to take care of and hatch a basilisk that was trying to kill itself.
When Professor Lightningwalker brought something to drink from inside the cabin, Professor Thunderwalker asked.
“Did you hatch a basilisk?”
“okay.”
“Are you Professor Bagleg? I don’t know if it kills it, but I don’t think I can hatch it. Do you have a lot of hands?”
Basilisks are usually not difficult to hatch from eggs.
Even if Professor Worewalk wasn’t friendly with Professor Voladi, he knew very well that Professor Voladi was not accustomed to killing basilisks and was not accustomed to raising them.
Wouldn’t it be hard to listen to Professor Lightning’s advice?
Professor Lightning Walk sipped his beer and replied as if he was okay.
“You have a disciple here, right? You will do well.”
“Aha. Indeed.”
“……”
Lee Han wanted to ask what was “real”, but held back.
