Chapter 149
“Usually, visitors to the magic school enter through the main gate during the day and into the spire stable after evening.”
“Indeed…”
Seeing Lee Han taking notes right away, Professor Lightning Walk almost got confused whether Lee Han was from the Wardanaz family or the thieves guild.
“However, there are more ways to enter the magic school than I thought. Have you ever gone underground?”
“yes. I was lucky.”
“If you didn’t try again, you’d be wise. Because Gonadaltes is not complacent enough to leave a path that has been cleared by freshmen as it is.”
Lee Han nodded.
I knew from the time I entered school that the skeleton headmaster was a crazy person.
“Anyway… one of those roads is here.”
Lightning Walk Professor grabbed a point on the huge mountain range behind the school and quickly drew a path.
It was simple and rough, but it was a map that clearly knew how to get there.
– Rock Pool Underground Cave (Beware of the cave owner)
“Sometimes professors use this cave to sneak out. The basement of the cave is connected to the outside.”
“?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
If that statement is true, doesn’t it mean that you can easily enter the school from outside?
‘No. Is the cave owner playing the role of filtering out intruders?’
If there was a place in the magic school that looked lax and easy, it meant that there was a separate entity that managed it.
The moment you get caught and step in, you die!
“Who is the cave owner?”
“That is a secret.”
“……”
Lee Han sent a sorrowful look at Professor Lightning Walk.
Sticks and carrots weren’t just for students. It also worked for the professor.
When I sent sad eyes with a sculpted face, I looked more pitiful.
Besides, rumors about Lee Han were already circulating among professors. He was being bullied or taught because he liked the skeleton headmaster…
“…I’m not trying to bully you, I made a promise so I can’t tell you at will. Other professors who were allowed to go through the cave would have made the same promise.”
Clever and powerful monsters and spirits did not like to reveal their identity or location.
Wasn’t the ‘Statue of the Forgotten Beast’ on the 3rd floor the other day guided by Salco like that?
“If that’s the case, I can’t help it. Could you give me some warnings?”
“It would be better to search the school and bring as many artifacts related to physical defense as possible.”
“……”
Lee Han, who was taking notes, hesitated.
‘Should I just break through the spire stable?’

Looking at the famous men of the empire gathered here today, as a lowly wizard, I am even more careful about my actions.
morning.
The Skeleton Principal floated in front of the guests who came to the magic school and greeted them politely.
Then applause poured in.
Gonadaltes was a man who could be as cunning as he wanted.
The first-year students in each tower looked at each other with expressions that looked like they were about to vomit.
“That… that heinous…”
“Shh. Quiet. Do you want to go to the punishment room after saying it out loud?”
Some of the White Tiger Tower students gnashed their teeth.
Some of you might ask that if you focus only on magic, you won’t run out of time. However, this Einrogard is not simply a place where the great study of magic is taught, but a place where students are strengthened both physically and mentally to become the strength of the empire!
‘The budget must be really good.’
Lee Han honestly admired the skeleton headmaster a little.
If you’re not familiar with it, you might say, ‘Wizards don’t care about their students because they are so focused on their own magic, but that person is really different! If there are any strange rumors in the future, I’ll have to refute them myself!’
As such, this spring festival will be a good boost to the new students.
“By the way, Headmaster. Why do students in other grades…”
Now. Then I’d like to give a gift to the new students here.
The skeleton headmaster pretended not to hear and ignored the guest’s words.
And the new students looked around nervously at the word of giving gifts.
“Aren’t the undead ambushing you?”
“Undead attack as a gift…”
But this time it was really a gift.
We have hidden treasures all over the school, so everyone should enjoy spring while looking for them.
“…really?”
“Are there any traps…?”
“Can that be?”
We have prepared a little prank, so you will have more fun when you find the treasure.
“……”
The freshmen seemed to know roughly what a trivial prank was without asking.
Headmaster Skeleton said with a benign smile when the students’ reaction was lukewarm.
Among the treasures is an outing pass.
“!”
“A ticket to go out…?!”
Some of the students from Valdrogard were puzzled by the headmaster’s words.
– Do you need a separate ticket to go out? why?
“…Do you want me to challenge that bastard to a duel?”
“Be patient. I am a guest.”
It’s the skeleton headmaster’s ulterior motive. Anyway, the story of the ticket to go out raised the anticipation for the treasure even more.
The students were already flinching, wanting to move.
“let’s go!”
“Even if we are deceived, let’s look for it.”
“Lee Han. Are you going too?”
“okay. Me too…”
Someone put a hand on Lee Han’s shoulder as he was about to go away.
It was Professor Ballardi.
“……”
“Let’s go.”
“…yes.”
* * *
The events of the professors did not end after a day. It continued during this spring festival week.
In other words, Lee Han also has to participate in Professor Voladi’s tent every day.
For the first time, Lee Han felt resentful of the emperor he didn’t even know.
‘I’ll just leave out the professor…’
Who would do that if the professor ordered it? The disciple did it.
Perhaps because of that sadness, Lee Han’s water beads became sharper and sharper. Some movements were praised by Professor Voladi.
“Ouch!”
“You don’t have to go this far!”
Another student from Valdrogard, who heard the rumors, came and protested when he saw a friend with a bleeding nose.
Then, the students of the White Tiger Tower, who had come earlier and had nosebleeds, got angry instead.
“Does avoiding water beads seem like a joke?!”
“We are risking our lives! On the subject of outsiders!”
‘These children learn bad things quickly.’
Lee Han looked at the White Tigers Tower as if they were pathetic.
To be persecuted like this just because you came from outside.
Of course, this wasn’t what Lee Han, who was beating a foreign guest with a water ball, would say…
“Are you okay?”
“eww. Yes.”
“sorry. Hearing so much about Valdrogard’s fame, all I can think of is to do my best. It won’t be enough though.”
“?”
Professor Voladi slightly tilted his head at Lee Han’s words.
However, Baldrogard’s students were already offended by Lee Han’s words.
“If that’s the case, I can’t help it.”
“Lee Han of the Wardanaz family? See you next time the 3rd graders get together.”
“no. Sleep…”
Before Yihan could explain, Valdrogard’s students had left.
‘It’s a freshman year.’
When the Waldrogard students left, the White Tiger Tower student wiped off the blood from his nose and stood in front of him again.
“Challenge.”
“…Why don’t you stop?”
“joy. Are you afraid of me?”
At the friend’s provocation, the other White Tiger Tower students whispered in fright.
“hey. Don’t provoke Wodanaz.”
“You bastard, you can increase the number of water beads.”
“…who knows what scares me! Dumb… kuck!”
Lee Han took advantage of the opponent’s carelessness and put a water bead in his mug.
The core of magic battle was always the first move.
* * *
After beating people with water beads all morning and having lunch, Lee Han went to see Professor Bible Verdus.
The professor, a beaver beastman, held out the bark while eating it.
“it’s okay. I ate.”
“okay? Then let’s begin.”
Professor Bibble made only very ordinary and simple magic firecrackers, probably because the Headmaster of Skeletons nailed them firmly.
End with < End Fire > or < End Light >.
It was a magic that wasn’t so difficult that even Lee Han got a feel for it after making a few mistakes (every time he failed, he burned the surroundings).
But Professor Bible’s face darkened and his muttering increased.
“I don’t want to make it…”
“……”
“I don’t want to make it… but it’s not fun…”
‘You put pressure on me in a different way.’
If the professor didn’t talk, it was scary in its own right, but talking a lot wasn’t necessarily good.
Lee Han focused on getting out of this position as much as possible.
‘Every time I fail, the time I’m here increases.’
Swing the wand, chant spells, and complete magic firecrackers.
In the uncomfortable and awkward air, Lee Han’s concentration sharpened even more.
One of Lee Han’s strengths is his near-infinite horse power.
Based on the amount of magical power, Lee Han created magic firecrackers nonstop.
It was a speed that was difficult for newcomers as well as endowment mages to follow. It was possible because there was no need for rest.
“It is done. professor.”
“Not funny? really?”
Professor Bibble muttered and raised his head while making magic firecrackers.
“yes. It is over.”
Lee Han replied with a light smile. Professor Bibble blinked and checked the number of firecrackers piled up. And his face brightened.
“Is it really that great?”
Any other professor would have noticed the situation where the student made more than the professor.
No matter how much the professor grumbled and made it, it was a great thing that the freshman started with the professor and made more.
But Professor Bible thought only that this tedious task was over.
“Great!”
“yes. professor. Then I’m done…”
“Then, since we have time, let’s make something else fun.”
“…uh. I don’t have any talent for endowment magic, so I can’t…”
“It’s okay. are you okay!”
‘What do you mean it’s okay?’
* * *
The magic that Professor Bible taught was < Low Fire Resistance >.
This magic, applied to the entire thick robe, was an essential magic for novice wizards learning various fire enchantments.
Lee Han, who was worried about flame magic, had no choice but to admit that this magic was quite useful… But
Professor Bible’s words made Lee Han ominous.
– Mastering this magic will help you practice other enchantments in the future.
-Is that so. professor. But for me, the enchantment…
-I know. know. have no talent But don’t worry too much. Other enchantment wizards are not talented, but they are doing it.
-……
In fact, the fact that I started making magic firecrackers with the professor and made more and managed to somehow succeed in the 3rd circle magic < Low Fire Resistance > within the set time was impossible without talent
… Professor Blei had a slightly different assessment.
If you are better than yourself, you are not talented, and if you are better than you, you are talented!
Of course, Lee Han had no choice but to worry.
Even if I hear that I have talent, I worry about whether I should learn properly or not, but the professor in charge is not reliable, so I say, ‘Do it because it’s fun! It doesn’t matter if it goes well or not!’, and they say things like…
‘Even if I think about it, the speed at which I learn magic isn’t that bad. I’ll just have to ask Professor Garcia.’
Lee Han made up his mind to find the professor of half-blood trolls, the true teacher of this magic school and a trustworthy adult.
“Let’s give up on that.”
“You say that? What if that’s an outing ticket? Are there any guarantees of finding another treasure?”
“?”
As Lee Han walked out, he was puzzled by the sight of many top students gathering and chatting in front of him.
What’s going on?
“Wardanaz! Help me!”
“No wordanaz! That bastard will take it!”
“Take it out and think about it!”
As the distance got closer, Lee Han immediately realized what was going on.
There was a treasure chest handmade by the headmaster in front of him.
…On top of a huge pyre that is just over a few meters away from a roaring fire.
