Episode 653
After Guinando is taken to the punishment room, the friends are each introduced to the rooms they will be staying in…
“Woda Naz-nim, Meikin-nim, this Hongyeong-gwan, Nilia-nim, this Uyeong-gwan…”
Each of them was introduced to the mansion one by one to stay.
Surprisingly, the large building that I thought was the Kraha family’s mansion was just a reception mansion placed at the front gate.
Lee Han said with a face as if he was in love with the Kraha family.
“Shall we come to the rescue of Gainando even now?”
“Patience Lee Han! Mrs. Kraha would also appreciate it if you treat her like you normally do rather than say yes or no!”
Yoner and his friends quickly grabbed Lee Han’s arms.
Judging by the look in his eyes, he didn’t seem surprised even if he went to rescue Guinan Island right away.
“haha. I’m kidding. joke.”
“It didn’t sound like a joke at all.”
Nilia muttered in a timid voice.
It was the first time I had seen Wodanaz look so happy.
The despairing Wardanaj was scary, but the happy Wardanaj had something more grotesque than that.
“The Kraha family’s wealth is really great. Han Lee. There is no family like this in the North…”
“The Moradi family is fine too, right?”
“haha. Han Lee. The Moradi family estate is large, but compared to here, it’s nothing more than a prison! There is nothing there!”
“……”
Lee Han, who spoke out to encourage Durgyu, was slightly taken aback by Durgyu’s cold reaction.
It was the northerners who were the most cold-hearted in their evaluation of the harsh and cold northern lands of the Empire.
Nilia was disgusted at the size of the private mansion she was staying in.
To live alone with servants in such a large mansion? It was already the nightmare of the first visit to the Meikin family.
The difference is that Yoner is in a different mansion this time!
“Nilia. Are you okay?”
“What are you talking about? am i totally fine? The Maikin family was much more demanding? Is this really easy enough?”
“……”
“……”
Not only Lee Han, who had asked the question, but also Yoner looked at Nilia in dismay.
Nilia blushed and hurriedly explained.
“I didn’t mean to say that the Meiken family was a difficult place!”
“Yeah I know.”
“calm down. Nilia.”
Lee Han asked Yoner to visit him often with his eyes.
Yoner nodded, then paused.
“Leehan, what are you trying to do? You’re not going to save Cainan, are you?”
“…Oh no. I’m just going to meet you.”

Two days later, Guinando, who was released, sat among his friends grumbling.
Because the family’s land was so large and the mansions where each of them stayed were far apart, friends usually gathered in the garden near the reception house.
“There is only one of you who came to see me!”
“What are you talking about. Guinan Island. I went to meet everyone. But he told me not to come too much, so he left.”
“Oh really?”
Yoner nodded solemnly as if saying yes. Friends were puzzled.
‘When did we go to meet?’
I don’t think anyone except Lee Han went…
“What did you play with while I was gone? Wizard card game? A magazine discussion?”
“I took a walk and met some of the guests who stayed at the mansion…”
“Nilia-sama was really great.”
Priestess Cyana looked at Nilia with admiration. Other friends also expressed their agreement.
She is so eloquent that the customers ask, ‘When will Miss Nilia come out?’ Rumors like ‘I want to meet you too’ spread.
“I don’t want to see you again…”
But Nilia’s ears drooped.
I went out for a walk in the mansion, and every 50 meters, a nobleman I had never seen before came out and started talking to me.
My hair went white and I couldn’t remember what I said.
“Didn’t we meet on the way here today? There must have been some people walking the promenade to meet you.”
“I drank the invisibility potion and crawled through the bushes. why!”
“…That’s right. Sorry to ask.”
“Keugh. I should have been.”
Guinando cast a jealous gaze at Nilia, who had stolen the popularity of the mansion society.
Nilia was dumbfounded.
Can’t you see this bastard crawled through the bushes?
“Other than that?”
“Everyone taught Eandurde this and that.”
Seeing Lee Han teach his juniors, the other friends also wanted to teach each other something.
Yoner learned the basics of herbalism, Nilia taught the tips to be careful when walking around the mountains, and Durgyu taught simple fighting techniques…
Eandurde sat down in the corner, downcast. Seeing this, Kainando clapped his hands knowingly.
“You’ve finally noticed the greatness of our seniors!”
“no. It’s because the new clothes are frustrating. Eandurde. You should be able to wear clothes like this.”
“Kreureung.”
“You have to answer in the right words.”
“I understand…”
Alcicle appeared while the friends were talking. The face of the penguin beast wizard looked even more tired than when he arrived.
“What are you doing?”
“People here invited me so much… I don’t know how many sardines I ate.”
“Oops. You refuse.”
“no. You need a lot of gold coins to research. You never know when or how you’re going to get sponsored, so you can’t be rude.”
Alcicle slumped to his knees.
Seeing the haggard appearance of the senior wizard, the junior wizards made a slightly impressed expression.
The greatness of a wizard was revealed even when he studied difficult magic, but it was also revealed in the way he persevered to study that magic.
“really. I heard that the Waldrogard students were visiting, so I said yes.”
“…Pengerin-sama!!!”
“You can’t do this!”
“I was just admiring you! betrayer!”
Alcicle responded in a tired voice to the reactions of the junior mages.
“I am also a guest, how can I refuse a visit?”
“If the Valdrogard students visit, you must promise to bring a blizzard to the mansion!”
‘It’s your family…’
Alcicle was dumbfounded at the sight of Gainando jumping up and down.
It was the first time in his life that he had been asked to bring a blizzard to his family’s mansion.
Fortunately, Lee Han regained his composure and asked first.
“Why are the students of Waldrogard visiting?”
“I’ve probably heard your rumors. Rumors that Einrogard students are staying at the Kraha family mansion.”
“indeed. Then, the purpose of the Valdrogard students must be to secure their modest honor by winning a cowardly victory over the other students of the Magic School.”
“…Oh no. That’s not it.”
Alcicle was taken aback when this happened to Lee Han.
“Since they are students from another magic school, they must be coming to say hello. There’s nothing wrong with making connections with wizards. I don’t think there was such an intention.”
Despite Alcicle’s words, the students didn’t seem to accept them very much.
“What if the Valdrogard students come back with some shady schemes?”
“Given their level, they’re probably just bragging about themselves…”
The Valdrogard students were basically wizards like plants in a greenhouse, so they weren’t so obsessed with magic.
Even if they come and brag about themselves, it won’t be that great.
“Anyway, I’m proud of this, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, since the Valdrogard students are wizards from magic schools, they must be proud of their magic…”
“I can’t forgive you!”
The other friends also nodded at Priest Siana’s words.
If you come to the mansion and show off your magic, I won’t let you go!
Eandurde tilted her head and asked Lee Han.
“What is Valdrogard?”
“haha. It is the name of the enemy.”
“enemy!”
‘Did I really have to dry it…?’
Alcicle began to regret that he should have brought a blizzard to the mansion.
* * *
“Look over there! Waldrogard students!”
“The honorable wizard of Valdrogard. Great!”
Yingsen and Bashiu smiled heartily at the sound they heard from the roadside.
It was felt that Valdrogard’s name had spread not only in the West, but throughout the Empire.
“Are you really saying that Einrogard students are at the mansion?”
“okay!”
“I’m curious about your magic skills. Speaking of Einrogard, it’s an imperial magic school equivalent to Baldrogard.”
“yes. The two-headed carriage leading the magic of the Empire!”
The two students were calmly uttering absurd remarks that would instantly turn them into bugs if the skeleton headmaster heard them.
But I couldn’t help it.
What could the students who had spent a year or so in Valdrogard know about the world of magic in the Empire?
The 2nd and 3rd year students of Waldrogard used to realize little by little that the evaluations of the two schools were quite different between real wizards, but they didn’t tell their juniors about it.
It was to maintain Valdrogard’s dignity and honor.
And the general public of the empire, excluding wizards, thought the two schools similar, so it wasn’t a completely wrong story either.
“Bashiu. only you know I intend to take light revenge for my seniors.”
“Revenge! What do you mean?”
“Do you remember the seniors who visited Ein Lorgard the other day?”
At Ingsen’s words, Bashiu looked back at his memories.
Certainly, there were seniors who visited the Ein Lorgard Festival last year.
“ah. that’s right. It was.”
“At that time, the magicians of Einrogard dishonored the seniors by sending out senior students in a mean way.”
“okay! How could you do such a mean thing…!”
The two were indignant.
The Waldrogard students who visited Einlogard last year were only in their second or third year.
In order to embarrass such guests, Ein Rogard cowardly sent out a fourth-year student.
Even that 4th year student was ruthless and mean (according to the seniors who told the story), and even possessed the viciousness to catch the Valdrogard students off guard and surprise them with elemental water magic.
“Is this your first time hearing about surprise?”
“no. They said it was a surprise. They said they cheated on something.”
“Well, you prepared thoroughly, but it was strange that you were defeated so easily!”
Listening to it made me feel like I was cheating.
If not, no matter how high a grade is, there is no way that he would be unilaterally defeated like that.
“And he was in fifth grade.”
“what? really? I heard you were in 4th grade.”
“no. My seniors recognized me again, but they said I was in 5th grade.”
“Fifth grade?! More cowardly!”
Ingsen was furious at the feeling that the nobleman’s honor had been tarnished.
It wasn’t even 4th grade, it was 5th grade.
These were really mean Einrogard students.
“I think it’s because Einrogard received people from other tribes than nobles. They take everything from knights to slaves!”
“Bashiu. Don’t say such rude things. The professor warned you too. An outstanding mage should be respected regardless of lineage.”
“That’s it, but look at it now. We Valdrogard are honorable, but Einrogard is corrupt. What’s the difference?”
Yingsen couldn’t deny Bashiu’s words.
The Waldrogard students would never have sent a 5th grader out to disgrace a guest.
“By the way, Yinsen. How are you going to get revenge? A vulgarity does not suit your honor.”
“Simple. As a wizard, I will avenge you with magic!”
Yingsen declared while holding onto his staff.
He didn’t know the skills of Einrogard’s students yet, but Bashiu wasn’t worried at all. Ingsen’s skill was one of the best among Waldrogard’s first year students.
“I have prepared some magic for this kind of day to come. It’s not magic that’s widespread in the empire, so even Einrogard students don’t know. How will Einrogard students react if I ask them to solve this magic?”
“Ingsen, your magic is as great as your honor!”
The two of them smiled at each other and nodded their heads.
It was time to restore the honor of the seniors to the Einrogard students.
