Chapter 208
“…Should I break a leg?”
“Isn’t it better to break an arm than a leg?”
“Cainan Island. do you mean that I am seriously concerned.”
“It wasn’t just me, but Mekin did too?!”
Although Lee Han managed to get rid of the cold and returned to the dormitory, the Blue Dragon Tower students couldn’t be happier.
Their friend was dragged away by the evil lich at dawn.
“Uh… but since it’s a one-on-one interview with the principal, it might be a good opportunity.”
Some of the students, still naive, offered their opinions cautiously.
In fact, this is generally true.
Osu Gonadaltes, the headmaster of this magic school, Ein Rogard, was one of the greatest wizards among the empire’s outstanding and extraordinary wizards.
If you’re an outsider who doesn’t know the magic school’s situation, ‘What? A chance to meet one-on-one with Archmage Gonadaltes? You are very lucky to be able to inherit even a little of the great man’s teachings!’
But the freshmen were now slowly noticing.
It’s not always good to be taught one-on-one by a renowned and talented archmage!
And even more so if the archmage was the skeleton headmaster.
“Wodhanaz is being dragged in now and looks like he’s going to be tortured with a 90% chance. Do you mean that? Are you still friends?”
“Go… I don’t think you said torture.”
When Asan got angry instead, the other students were intimidated.
Neblen of the Kirac family, one of the princess’s followers, whispered to the princess.
“Princess. Of course, the headmaster is an eccentric and dangerous person, but having a one-on-one interview like this… wouldn’t it be a bit of an intention to acknowledge Wodanaj’s talent and teach him?”
Fortunately, the princess nodded.
Neblen’s face brightened.
“Yes? Only bad things…”
The princess shook her head resolutely.
Even considering that, it was bad enough.
“…Is it bad?”
“Because it is. Kirac. If you keep doing that, you go instead. Instead of Wodanaz, you sacrifice.”
“Ah… no… I’m sorry. everyone. Wodanaz. I spoke arrogantly.”
Lee Han didn’t respond, just waved his hand as if he was okay.
To be honest, I didn’t even have the courage to respond.
‘I should get some more sleep.’
I was going out with the skeleton principal on the weekend, but I couldn’t hear the voices of my friends.
just make up your mind
“look. Wodanaz is hurt because of you!”
“I don’t think Wardanaz will do that…”

Saturday morning.
Lee Han paid attention and walked to the front door. Fortunately, there were no pitfalls.
don’t be careless Great.
“thank you.”
ride
Headmaster Skeleton pointed to the wagon waiting in front of the main gate.
Except for the absence of horses, it was a luxurious-looking travel wagon.
Instead of asking the old-fashioned question, ‘Is it okay to not have a horse?’, Lee Han opened the carriage door and went inside.
Then, the scenery of the antique drawing room came into view. It was an unbelievably large space inside the wagon.
depart.
-yes.
The voice of an undead summoner came from outside, and the carriage began to move smoothly.
The huge front door of the magic school opened and the carriage was sent off.
“May I ask where you are going?”
That’s all I can answer. The destination is Ogonin’s Tower.
“…?”
For a moment, Lee Han wanted Ogonin as someone.
Headmaster Skeleton noticed that and was stunned.
Illusion Wizard Ogonin. We met at the festival, did you forget?
“Ah… so much work.”
Lee Han made such an excuse, but in fact, no matter how many things he did, if he was a person who left a deep impression on him, he would not forget it.
However, Ogonin…
gave an impression of ‘a pityful wizard who was caught sneaking in by a 1st grader and failed to cast magic’.
If Ogonin had heard of it, it would have made him feel ashamed and confined himself to the tower for a while!
No matter how many things he did, he would have thought it was too much to be forgotten… Anyway, since Ogonin did something, he intends to return it as it is.
‘It’s really unfortunate.’
Lee Han sympathized with Ogonin.
Ogonin doesn’t even seem like such a great wizard, but to go through such a terrible revenge from the headmaster himself.
“I don’t think Ogonin is a wizard enough for the principal to take revenge on himself, but…”
Of course, Lee Han’s persuasion didn’t work at all.
However, the skeleton principal’s mood improved considerably.
That’s the attitude.
“?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
what attitude?
‘I thought you’d get mad at me for drying it.’
It should have been. That’s what you do.
Headmaster Skeleton nodded in satisfaction.
The greatest weakness of that boy from the Wardanaz family was his weakness.
However, seeing a wizard of Ogonin’s level so arrogantly looked down on him, there was a hint that that shortcoming could be corrected.
As an educator at a magic school, it was truly a joy.
In the first place, all fantasy wizards are twisted and narrow-minded.
“Not necessarily.”
There is no need to take the side of Professor Ku. I’m not even here anyway
“Not only Professor Ku, but there are also people like Valdororn…”
Valdororn?
The skeleton headmaster tilted his head.
There are many illusion wizards besides Professor Kirmin Ku who teach illusion magic, but Baldororn was the first name he had heard of.
Who is it? It’s the first name I’ve heard.
“Is that so? I met him by chance the other day when I was out, and he had excellent skills.”
indeed. Are you a hidden wizard?
The empire’s outstanding wizards did not necessarily actively engage in social activities.
Some sorcerers used to seek the truth by shutting themselves in the valleys of deep mountains known only to them.
These mages were often unaware of the existence of the skeleton headmaster.
Too bad. If you’re that good, you should be invited as a professor. Recluse wizards are very picky… maybe it’s hard?
“yes. As I listened to them talk, they didn’t seem interested.”
okay. I guess so. Anyway, let’s stop talking about nerds like Ogonin… let’s talk about your magic. Are you learning magic well?
“yes. We are doing our best.”
Lee Han had no shame in looking up to the sky.
There really wasn’t a freshman who did his best as Lee Han.
What are you studying besides lectures?
“…principal. It’s hard to just follow the lectures.”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
Principal Skeleton asked so naturally, ‘What are you studying besides the lectures you listen to?’
It’s hard to keep up with the lectures I’m taking right now, but what the hell do you expect from a freshman… Even
if it’s hard, the up-and-coming guys find magic and study it on their own. Always. So, are you not studying outside of lectures?
“I’m doing it, but…”
Headmaster Skeleton nodded as if he knew that.
Lee Han felt slightly embarrassed.
Somehow, he ended up studying extra, and Lee Han didn’t do it on purpose.
“This is just a coincidence.”
I didn’t ask. tell me what you are studying
Principal Skeleton was curious about what field Lee Han was interested in.
Even if he complained a lot about his weak personality, the boy from the Wardanaz family in front of him was the talent that the Skull Headmaster was currently watching with the most interest.
As a disciple candidate who might one day inherit the vision, I couldn’t help but be curious.
“First of all, I am studying the book the principal gave me.”
Your greatest strength is that eye that knows how to distinguish jade stones.
Lee Han was flattered and the skeleton headmaster was satisfied.
And it wasn’t even a lie.
If you’re bored, the black book enters Lee Han’s dream on its own and forcibly teaches you magic!
“And blood magic…”
Blood magic? Isn’t that too outdated? Besides, it’s a small skill that you don’t even need.
“I am studying magic that is good for linking with…”
At Lee Han’s answer, the headmaster of the skeleton threw his gaze intrigued.
Blood magic was a non-mainstream technique that was difficult to use and rarely used these days, but the story was different for magic related to blood magic.
Blood magic is a technique that uses blood as a catalyst to amplify magical power.
The magic associated with such blood magic had its own characteristics.
Huge horsepower consumption, relatively little control required, etc.
It will certainly suit that Wodanaz boy.
You’re clever.
“thank you.”
What book are you studying with? The blood magic book would be of little use.
Lee Han took a book out of his backpack. It was < Basic blood magic and its application >.
Pararak-
Headmaster Skeleton threw the book into the air and turned it over. While reading each page with his eyes, Headmaster Skeleton asked again.
What else are you studying besides blood magic?
‘I think it’s enough now…’
To be honest, it was already enough to overflow as I was studying the skeleton headmaster’s magic and even blood magic.
The problem was that Lee Han was really studying other things.
As he took out the book, Lee Han thought to himself.
‘It’s really unfortunate. It’s not like I purposely found it and studied it.’
After reading the < Basic Lightning Elemental Magic and Its Application > book, the Headmaster Skeleton opened the book as well.
Then, I read two books at high speed.
It’s new, but I managed to learn from a guy like Professor Bagreg.
‘It’s really new.’
Lee Han inadvertently nodded, but gave strength to his head.
Even if everyone in the world cursed at the professor, it was better for the student learning under him to keep his mouth shut.
“no. There is always a lot to learn.”
Well, if you have to endure that shit, there must be a lot to learn. Just as there are many things left after entering the dragon’s rarity and coming out alive.
“……”
Anyway, I didn’t know that there would really be a disciple. I wondered if anyone would listen to such an irrational lecture.
Lee Han seemed like he would fail to control his emotions if he talked further.
‘I’ll have to change the topic.’
“Then, why is Professor Bagleg all of a sudden?”
Isn’t this a book written by Professor Bagreg?
“…!”
Lee Han was surprised.
Two magical books written in strange detail were the books written by Professor Baegrek?
I was surprised, but more…
‘Why is someone who can explain in such detail in words?’
Lee Han tried hard not to show his anger on his face.
I guess you didn’t know
“It’s so… written in detail…”
It’s normal for people who aren’t fluent in words to say things when they hold a quill. where did you get it Did Professor Bagreg give it to you?
“He gave me the lightning magic and I picked up the blood magic.”
I think I wrote this in my school days, but I managed to pick it up. You’re lucky.
“I didn’t pick it up, but my friends picked it up.”
But now it’s in your hands. that’s the relationship
‘I don’t want to become involved with the blood magic book.’
Professor Baegrek’s teaching seems to fit well, but don’t rely too much on one professor’s teaching.
“…I’m not that good at it.”
Two of the three books you study separately are Professor Baegrek’s books?
As soon as Lee Han returned to school, he made a resolution to search the library and add three or four useful magic books.
It is said that the truth that magicians pursue is one, but the roads to get there are different. If a disciple is too influenced by the master, it is difficult to break out of the egg.
“yes.”
All disciples should be able to stab their master in the back and inherit everything.
“Yes… yes?”
Lee Han hesitated. For a moment, I thought that my inner thoughts were being heard.
However, the skeleton headmaster didn’t ask a specific trap question.
True to his ancient origins, the Headmaster Skeleton sincerely believed that ‘a wizard can go his own way only when he has the guts to stab his teacher in the back’.
Lee Han stared at the headmaster’s white, sleek skull. Headmaster Skeleton said with a straight face.
not now It’s a story after learning everything later.
“You seem to have misunderstood. I didn’t think anything of it.”
All right. Anyway, it must have been worrying for nothing.
The Skeleton Headmaster, who was slightly worried, was convinced.
That Wardanaz boy would never lose his way, no matter which wizard taught him.
It was indeed an important virtue for a wizard.
