Chapter 292
“What did you say?”
“no. Nothing.”
Lee Han quickly turned around.
He didn’t want to worry the good old knight for nothing.
“What are you planning to do during vacation, Lee Han-nim? If you need anything, this Allarron will do its best to help.”
“First of all… I’ll have to study.”
Lee Han said while looking at the books that Phone League was carrying.
I shouldn’t have said, ‘Ah, you’re saying to take a rest in peace.’
Giving vacation was close to saying, ‘You are free to take a break, but study on your own.
In particular, in the case of a harsh school like Ein Rogard, the professor said, ‘You must have studied this far, right? Then there was a high possibility that he would say, “I know, and I will move on.”
Even if I listened to few lectures, I was cautious about playing, but for a student like Lee Han who listened to a lot of lectures, studying was not an option, but a necessity.
“You are wonderful.”
Allarron, unaware of Lee Han’s desperate inner thoughts, was deeply impressed.
Just because they came from a noble family in the empire, not everyone was as sincere and diligent as Lee Han.
Rather, there were more prodigal or lazy people. It was only natural that the family’s environment would support them.
However, since Lee Han is diligently concentrating on magic without a single loose look…
‘As expected, Lee Han is a person who fits the Wardanaz family lineage.’
“But Lee Han-nim. Young students gathering together in one place and studying procedures are not just for studying, but also for getting to know each other and socializing. Studying is good, but wouldn’t it be a waste to spend all the vacation studying?”
“Of course I have an idea.”
Lee Han said as if not to worry. Allarron’s face brightened once more.
“I plan to collect gold coins. In Granden City, there must be plenty of places to work, even for a short period of time.”
“…?”
Allarron was a little taken aback by Lee Han’s words.
It was a completely unexpected answer.
‘What is this…?’
Allarron looked at his subordinate knights.
He thought that the subordinate knights would understand Lee Han’s meaning better as they were much younger.
– We don’t know what that means either.
– Isn’t that a metaphor only used by wizards?
-Aren’t you really trying to collect gold coins?
-Don’t talk nonsense in front of Allarron. Why would Han Lee do such a thing?
“okay. You are wonderful.”
“Thank you. kyung.”
Allarron did not want to become a ignorant old knight who could not keep up with the fashion of young wizards these days, so he cheered.
But deep inside I was still confused.
“Isn’t anything else on schedule though?”
“Any other plans?”
Lee Han tilted his head.
He had nothing in mind other than studying and gold coins.
“Social activities with those close friends…”
“Ah.”
Hearing those words, Lee Han belatedly realized and nodded his head.
“I need to meet my friends too.”
Allarron let out a sigh of relief.
“Good idea. If you would like to hold a meeting or banquet, please let us know. I will prepare it so as not to be ashamed of the name of the Wodanaz family.”
‘I don’t think it’s necessary to go that far.’
Lee Han thought to himself at Allarron’s words.
The reason Lee Han wanted to meet his friends was to get the money he lent them.

Lee Han-eun, who arrived at his home in Granden City (Lee Han escaped first as onlookers gathered in front of the castle gate in a colorful wagon train of students from the Tower of the Blue Dragon) took a break for now.
When I woke up after a good night’s sleep on the soft, fluffy bed, the events at the magic school suddenly felt like a long nightmare.
Of course it wasn’t a dream.
Lee Han stood up and estimated the amount of silver coins written in the ledger with his eyes.
Twenty imperial gold coins seemed to be enough even with a rough calculation.
It was a huge amount that made them have groundless confidence in their own business abilities.
‘…no. Let’s calm down.’
For a moment, he wondered if he should aim for an imperial merchant rather than an imperial bureaucrat, but Lee Han immediately came to his senses.
Earning 20 gold coins in one semester was a huge income, but it was all thanks to the closed situation unique to magic schools.
Even if you become a sophomore right now, it will be difficult to do this kind of business.
‘You have to be humble. If you act arrogantly, you can disgrace the group.’
Even so, the amount of 20 imperial gold coins could not help but make my heart pound.
A farmer with a small piece of land can only get one gold coin by working hard all year round…
“I will prepare breakfast for you. Lee Han.”
said the servant outside. Lee Han opened the door and said.
“It’s just enough to make it simple. Did Ratford ever wake up?”
“yes. Lee Han-nim asked me to speak when he coughed.”
“I’m sorry. can you call me ah. for a moment.”
Lee Han grabbed the servant who was about to leave and asked.
“I entered Baekyangmun in Granden City yesterday. Do you know of a small general store near the gate? It was quite crowded…”
“Yes. Do you need anything?”
“If you were going to buy the general store, how much do you think you would need?”
The servant thought deeply and answered carefully.
“Even if I can’t do it, won’t it cost me two hundred imperial gold coins?”
Lee Han had to strain his body to keep from stumbling.
I didn’t think it would be as cheap as one of the leading cities, but a general store that’s barely the size…
‘I’m being arrogant.’
At most, earning that much and being confident that you could be a merchant on your own.
It was just embarrassing.
“Lee Han?”
“…Right. Thank you for your answer.”
Ratford came in not long after the servant had gone.
The old-fashioned atmosphere of the mansion must have been awkward, so when Ratford saw Lee Han, he sprinted with delight.
“Mr. Wardanaz!”
“Did you rest well?”
“The body is comfortable, but the mind is a little…”
“You’ll get used to it soon. Let’s eat breakfast first.”
He asked for a simple meal, but the meal the servants brought was more substantial than expected.
After cutting the slightly spicy seasoned egg and putting it in his mouth, Lee Han sighed deeply.
“Is anything going on?”
“It’s nothing. I wondered what it would be like to buy one at a small store later, but the price was not cheap.”
At Lee Han’s words, Ratford, who was drinking cold milk from a bottle, nodded as if he understood.
“understand.”
“what?”
“You didn’t mean to secure the gold coins for me?”
“…Ratford. Stealing outside of magic school is a crime.”
In fact, it was a crime, but Lee Han thought it was extenuating circumstances.
Even if they are the same thief, there are times when they are called righteous depending on their motive and purpose.
The theft against the headmaster of the skull was a thief in Lee Han’s idea.
At Lee Han’s words, Ratford made a confused expression.
“You mean…don’t do it? Or are you telling me to do well without getting caught?”
“I mean don’t do it. Ratford. If I ask you to do something, I will ask very specifically, without using a metaphor, so don’t be hasty.”
“yes.”
Ratford was slightly sullen.
You can’t show me a chance to steal.
With a rattling sound, Lee Han neatly emptied the bowl of rice.
When I was in Ein Lorgard, it was difficult to prepare an Eastern style meal, but thanks to that, it was exceptionally delicious because it had been a long time since I ate it.
Ratford tilted his head slightly as he finished his piece of buttered toast.
“Doesn’t it fit your mouth?”
“Oh no.”
“I don’t think it is. It’s really okay, so I want you to be honest with me.”
“That… It seems like the one prepared by Mr. Wardanaz was more delicious…”
Lee Han laughed at Ratford’s words.
I was glad to have a friend’s compliment.
“thanks. But that’s because of the special circumstances of Einrogard. In that situation, anything you eat has no choice but to taste better.”
Originally, anything tastes better if you starve yourself.
Otherwise, there was no way that Lee Han’s cooking would be more delicious than the cooking of the mansion’s chefs.
“Is that so?”
“That’s it.”
At Lee Han’s words, Ratford nodded, but he was not completely convinced.
‘I think objectively it really tasted better…’
“I think I’ll go out for a while after eating. Do you have plans for today?”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m thinking of taking the silver coin.”
Ratford asked in a slightly expectant voice.
“Perhaps…”
“I’m not going to steal it, I’m going to get it.”
“yes. I will go with you anyway.”
Ratford was sorry.

Asan of the Dalcard family was nervous and unable to breathe properly.
“I heard that a descendant of the family entered Ein Rogard. Congratulations.”
“thank you.”
The Dalcard family’s mansion located in Granden City had a long history, and there were many people and guests of the family living in the mansion.
Besides, there was a meeting today, and people of high status in Granden City were gathering as guests one by one.
Due to the situation, the student from the family that came out of Einrogard yesterday couldn’t help but come up on the topic.
“You’re from Ein Lorgard. The name of the Dalcard family will shine even more.”
“thank you.”
“I wonder which school of magic you major in. Can I ask you a question after listening to the performance today?”
“Let it be.”
‘help me.’
Asan felt like he was suffocating.
If you make a mistake in front of the famous people of Granden City gathered here, you will damage the family’s honor.
“Concentrate.”
Asan’s older brother Daihal approached.
Dressed in a wrinkle-free suit, Daihal was a man who wouldn’t break a drop of sweat even in the hot summer sun.
“You still make a lot of mistakes. I was one beat late when I said hello earlier. And when answering…”
Haidan, Asan’s older sister and Daihal’s twin, also approached.
Like Daihal, he wouldn’t blink an eye if a dragon appeared over the city.
“There is dust on the cufflinks, but you don’t know. You’re making a lot of mistakes Think of the mistake you made seventeen and four days ago.”
“It’s a shame because you made a mistake in your calculations.”
“The last digit is really wrong…”
“Be quiet. It’s because you have such a complacent mindset that you keep making mistakes.”
Asan kept his mouth shut at the reprimands of his older brother and sister.
If the two of them made a mistake and did that, they would at least refute it, but since they themselves were such perfect people, Asan had no choice but to shrink.
Daihal was chosen as an imperial official and was rapidly rising, and Haidan got a job at the Bronze Dwarf Bank in the East, admiring the picky Dwarves
…
“It’s not that I didn’t do well, the chief and second-in-command did very well…”
“Be quiet. Don’t keep making excuses.”
“Assan. A guest has come.”
It was the family servant who saved Asan from being beaten.
Although he did not know who the guest was, Asan was delighted. You have an excuse to get out of this place.
“older brother! sister! It looks like a friend has arrived!”
“Why do you think you are happy?”
“that… A friend came to see me, how could I not be happy?”
“……”
“……”
Daihal and Haidan stared at their unreliable younger brother.
“My brother’s friend came to see me, so I must go out and greet him.”
“Me too.”
“yes?! I can do it…”
“Be quiet. It is my duty to welcome guests to the mansion, not yours.”
Asan became tearful and followed the two of them.
‘Please don’t go to Cainan. Please don’t go to Cainan.’
Due to their personalities, there was a high possibility that they would peck Asan like crazy if the friend they came to was not satisfied.
Asan prayed that other friends, not Gainan, would come first.
“hello.”
“!!!”
Asan let out a sigh of relief at the familiar face that came in.
Fortunately, my most trustworthy friend came to visit first!
