Chapter 494
This didn’t happen because the 3rd grade blaster was debauched or wasteful.
Magic is basically a very expensive science.
No matter how much the emperor provided support and the skull headmaster went beyond investment and support and sometimes threw away his own money, this limitation could not be overcome structurally.
Even so, he couldn’t ask for more of the empire’s budget. Even now, officials under the imperial treasury would grab their chests and complain of difficulty breathing whenever they heard the name of Einrogard.
-Uh… Do you mean to throw more gold coins at those madmen? Rather step on me! If you have gold coins for that, let me build the slums that have been put off due to lack of budget!
– You know how much gold and silver treasures the Empire is taking away from the robbers of Einrogard right now, don’t you? Even if I die, I will never forget the gold pillars in the plaza donated by His Majesty’s order, and wasted as a laboratory of flame burning gold!
– It’s not cool to pay fines and charge for repairs every time these shameless wizards have an accident outside! Every time I hear the name Ein Lorgard, my teeth tremble and my blood rushes backwards!
…Anyway, no matter how much money was raised and distributed to each school, there was no choice but to find a time when money became scarce while doing research.
In preparation for such a time, the students of Einrogard used to save up a huge amount of money on their own, but…
…that amount of money disappeared like snow after a few magic experiments.
In the end, there were bound to be students borrowing the necessary reagents, entrusting the family sword as collateral, like blasting bullets.
It was embarrassing and heartbreaking for Professor Woorestep, who knew that.
“The blaster students aren’t particularly lazy or wasteful.”
“We know. Do not worry.”
The people of the Meiken family smiled benevolently.
“What magic really needs is neither intelligence nor emotion, but gold.”
“…haha.”
It was a self-deprecating joke among wizards. Professor Thunder Walk couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
“I see…”
Lee Han, who was listening from the side, said with a genuinely moved face. Professor Wooregeol was straight.
“What is it really? what.”
For some reason, this Wodanaz boy seemed to have a different meaning.
* * *
“Wardanaz. Let go of the wyvern.”
Professor Lightning Step, who was checking safety equipment to prepare for departure, instructed Lee Han.
The Wyverns were supposed to wait calmly, but they were playing around and rolling over each other on the grass, as if they got excited.
“All right.”
Lee Han nodded and stood up from his seat.
As much as he was studying monsters separately from Professor Lightning Walk, he knew about wyverns to some extent.
When you’re kidding like that, in a way that doesn’t back down sternly…
“?”
“??”
The friends sitting next to Lee Han looked at the lightning-walking professor with question marks on their faces.
“professor. No matter how good Lee Han is at work, the Wyvern is…”
“Yes, yes. kind.”
“!?”
Before even talking to them, Lee Han separated the mischievous wyverns from each other and stroked their heads.
The guys who had been smashing up on the grass until now bowed their heads like well-behaved sheep.
“…how did you do it?”
“I want you to read a book. Bar Trek. Wyverns don’t avert their eyes…”
“No, if you can handle them that way, why do people get bitten by wyverns!?”
“It’s because I became close with you during this trip.”
Lee Han said as if it was natural.
Of course, as Bartrek said, just following the method in the book didn’t mean you could handle the wyvern right away. Wyvern was not such an easy monster.
However, Lee Han had friendships with the Wyverns during the trip.
Feed the wyvern, wipe off its scales, cover it with a blanket to say good night, stand guard while listening to Professor Voladi’s nagging beside his head…
‘The last thing is cancellation.’
Come to think of it, the last one seemed more like irritation than friendship.
Anyway, as much as these things happened, it was clear that Wyvern was friendly with Lee Han, although not as much as Professor Lightning Walk.
In fact, don’t you listen to me like this!
“……”
Nilia thought to herself.
‘No matter how you look at it, it looks like you’re scared…’
Every time Lee Han turned his head, the Wyvern glanced at him and noticed it, which was a typical frightened monster.
“really? How did you become friends so quickly?”
“It is love. Bar Trek. Let’s do it together when you take care of the meal this time.”
“Oh no… Why… It’s scary.”
“Because I’m not afraid. yes? Aren’t you scared?”
When Lee Han turned his head to the Wyvern and asked a question, the Wyvern, which had been hanging down until just now, suddenly raised its head and nodded with a very pretentious mild expression.
“Look. It’s not for nothing that they say that wyverns are easier to tame than griffons. Everyone is nice.”
“……”
Nilia decided not to say anything.
* * *
– Arrived within the expected time of order success.
hmm.
Headmaster Skeleton nodded in satisfaction at the call from the port city.
‘I was worried, but I handled it well.’
I did not doubt the ability of the professors or students who participated, but it was also true that the situation was a bit complicated.
As the conflicts had been piling up for a long time, I thought it could be quite long if things got twisted… but it
seemed to have been handled well.
Some current students used to spread nonsensical slander, saying, ‘The principal seems to be mad with stimulation, and if there are no accidents in the day, he will pass out because of boredom.’
He is a person who always longs for everything to be completed without any problems.
Sometimes I like to see students suffer, but that’s just an exception.
-Mr. Serpent Appearance Cooperation Request Students and Extermination Magical Criminal Contact Arrest
…?!?!
However, the skeleton principal who saw the next contact was surprised.
It was surprising that the magical criminal contacted him, but it was even more surprising that he was arrested.
‘what? Did the headless guy make contact?’
If you’re usually called a magical criminal, you haven’t done anything clumsy enough to have built up notoriety for quite some time.
Even if he made contact, he skillfully created several ways to escape and took action.
How did you even arrest such a magical criminal?
To be honest, I couldn’t help but wonder.
‘I’m sure this baegrek didn’t stab anyone…’
Skeleton Headmaster was slightly suspicious.
It is doubtful whether Professor Voladi stabbed a suspicious person passing nearby because he was suspicious, and others covered it up by saying, ‘I can’t help it, so I’ll just call him a magic criminal!’
* * *
Thankfully it wasn’t.
Are you… not curious?
After meeting with the returning Professor Thunderwalk, the skeleton headmaster immediately called Lee Han.
The story about the magical criminal Ianob was so surprising.
Its aggressiveness was amazing, and it was amazing to hold on to it, but the most surprising thing was…
“Why do you believe that?”
…Are you a wizard?
…It was a boy from the Wardanaz family who called the professor right away without hesitation.
Of course, thanks to that, the work was finished neatly, but to think that the wizard was not interested in a situation like that.
“A mage who accepts an offer like that is strange. In my opinion, a case should be added to the character education lecture to say that such suspicious contacts should be ignored.”
Do you know that you haven’t done it? It doesn’t make any sense.
Skeleton Headmaster was indifferent.
Don’t touch the forbidden magic, don’t hang out with the suspicious wizard from the outside…
Of course, it was the right thing to say, so there was no problem.
However, students did not listen to what they said.
If you are told not to touch forbidden magic, you will hear it and say, ‘Ah, there was forbidden magic, right? I’m curious?’
“Are you locked up in a punishment room throughout the vacation?”
……
The Death Knights next to them gasped in surprise.
It was an overly brutal plan for a first-year student to think of.
Don’t even think about it. Anyway, it worked pretty well…
The skeleton headmaster said while recalling the report.
I thought the wordanaz would help, but I didn’t think it would help this much.
To immediately resolve the conflict between the various guilds and bring about reconciliation.
‘Certainly, this guy is very sociable unlike the Wardanaz family.’
One of the strengths of Wodanaz that I had felt for a long time but was easy to miss was this sociability.
First of all, just getting along with Bagleg showed how great his sociability was.
Considering that there were a lot of people with broken personalities among the seniors, this advantage shined even more.
‘In the second year, I’ll have to send those with broken personalities pasted on them when they go outside.’
Unbeknownst to Lee Han, the Headmaster Skeleton added things to be done in his mind.
What did you feel about magic?
More important than the story about the request was the story about magic.
The skeleton headmaster’s voice became serious.
As much as he thought of Wodanaz as his apprentice, he had no choice but to be serious when talking about magic.
“While picking flowers myself, I learned things to be careful about. Originally, it was said that you could buy it with just silver coins, but when I collected it myself, I seemed to know for sure which ones were high quality and which ones were low quality.”
I understand you well. Sometimes there are mages who ignore such meticulous work, but they’re not going to make it big.
Headmaster Skeleton was satisfied.
All wizards had to be able to persistently check every single detail of their magic.
Wizards who arrogantly prepare attendants and servants never succeeded.
“Thanks to that, I think I will be able to reduce the price better if I have to buy something in the future.”
…I didn’t know about that… Yeah. Anything else?
With a small aspiration that wasn’t curious at all, the skeleton headmaster passed on the next words.
“I was surprised by the magical criminal’s magic more than I thought. Seasoned battle mages are hard for me to dare to anticipate.”
yes.
Headmaster Skeleton was satisfied again.
It was in a similar vein as before, but the wizard who was overconfident in his own strength had a bad end.
In particular, the magic battle was not about who could use stronger magic with difficulty.
It was a magic battle to see who cut off the opponent’s breath first with optimal efficiency.
As a back alley mage could take the life of a renowned mage with the slightest carelessness or coincidence, an excellent battle mage had to prepare several times.
The Ianob you captured was a servant of Antagondals.
“You mean that archmage criminal?”
what a wizard!
Headmaster Skeleton grunted at once.
It was unpleasant for a cheeky young magic criminal to be called the Archmage.
It may have come as a surprise to you, as he had been taught by Antagondals and had gone through some sort of prenatal struggle.
“you’re right.”
Lee Han agreed.
The moment the wall flies, the artifact activates immediately to block the front, greatly strengthening one’s own physical abilities, and preparing a separate means of attack.
It was a familiarity that made me wonder if I had to train thousands of times to get that level of proficiency.
Then what were you thinking there?
“I thought I would take Professor Baegreg with me when I go to suspicious places in the future.”
……
Headmaster Skeleton glared at Lee Han at the lack of ambition.
