Episode 614
“This is nonsense… This is nonsense…!”
There weren’t many wizards who went through the experience of the sky falling.
It was rare to see the sky fall in general, although it was occasionally seen in Einrogard.
However, for young Alhi, today’s experience was like the sky falling.
How did this happen?
“This is a trick! Trickery!”
The red-faced Alhi jumped up and shouted.
As young as he was, his attitude was strongly entrenched.
“Um… isn’t that senior about 5th grader!”
“I was in first grade until this year. Penguin.
“Uh… then… then that senior must be the top of the grade! It can never be normal!”
“!”
‘no?’
Headmaster Skeleton and Lee Han were surprised by the sharp point of Alhi.
As expected of a guy rumored to be excellent in his family, he wasn’t an ordinary brain.
“It’s not?”
However, the skeleton headmaster’s brazenness was one level higher.
Lee Han was shy and avoided his gaze, but the skeleton principal continued talking without blinking an eye.
“What is the chief? A student of this size in Einrogard rolls around like a pebble on the side of the road. Right Wodanaz?”
“……”
“Stop it! Alhideul. What a shame!”
Fortunately, the old penguin Suin got angry instead of Lee Han.
“You blame others for your lack! Since when did the blood of the Pengerin family become so mean?”
“That’s not it… I’m sure he’s not an ordinary senior…”
“How dare you ignore Gonadaltes-sama’s words! You who can’t even follow the heels of the fame that Gonadaltes built up!”
The old penguin Suin scolded Alhi with his beak trembling.
The Alhis lowered their heads and were ashamed.
‘Can I do this?’
Lee Han sent his gaze to the skeleton headmaster, asking him to dry it.
However, the Headmaster Skeleton nodded as if his praise was very valid.
do more!
“……”
“Sorry. I was wrong.”
“It is not your fault. Everyone in my family made mistakes. He overestimated his talent just because he was a relative. Mr. Gonadaltes. Please. Take this talentless guy to Einrogard and train him! If you do that, I will consider it an honor for the family.”
“haha. Of course I came with that in mind.”
Headmaster Skeleton spoke like the world’s most benevolent archmage.
“Pengerin-kun. Even if you don’t have talent, don’t worry too much. If you enter Ein Lorgard and study hard, you might be able to become like your ordinary seniors here.”
“principal. Please work on it.”
Lee Han was excited and whispered to the skeleton headmaster who was teasing Alhi.
Even so, it was a little pitiful for him as a junior.
“Sun… Senior. I apologize for the earlier rudeness.”
Not knowing what the two were talking about, Alhi and the others approached with hesitation.
When he came to his senses, he realized how rude he was when he said something earlier.
“I was wrong.”
“…no. I don’t care at all.”
Lee Han quickly comforted the child.
My conscience was too pierced to just leave it alone.
“And your skill was great enough. If you enter Ein Lorgard, you will achieve great achievements.”
“no! You don’t need to comfort me like that.”
The Alhis shook their heads vigorously.
That’s what I felt for sure today.
That he had been deceived within the Pengerin family!
“I still lack a lot. I will study even harder until I enroll, or even after I enter, to reach the level that my seniors showed me today.”
“Uh… um… no…”
Lee Han was about to say, ‘There’s no one like that among my friends,’ but he hesitated.
“Please remember me. certainly! We will definitely see you again!”
“…Have I ever told you my family name?”
Even now, Lee Han was wondering if ‘My name is Gainando’ would work.
But it was already too late.
As the Alhis returned full of enthusiasm, Lee Han sighed.
“I don’t know if he will come back later.”
“Then, thanks to you, I studied hard, so I should be grateful.”
“……”
‘I really want to hit one.’
* * *
…Leehan What did I do so wrong? Of course I didn’t study the black magic books! But it’s vacation! I’ll really study in the future, so don’t do things like this! okay? You really shouldn’t do this again! How could this be! Is it such a big sin that I didn’t study a bit!?…
“You bastard. To think he didn’t study and get angry.”
“?”
Eandurde, who was next to me, looked up while reading < History of the Imperial Guild >.
Lee Han waved his hand as if it was nothing.
“Junior. It’s not your story, so don’t worry about it. There is a guy among my friends who doesn’t study. But why get angry again?”
“A great felony!”
“yes. A very serious sin. Are you smart? Eat a cookie.”
The juniors were excited and ate the cookies.
“execution!”
“It’s not even the death penalty. But have another cookie.”
The junior mumbled and started reading the book again.
Lee Han shook his head at the scandalous letter from Gainando.
You weren’t studying dark magic books. He was a very obnoxious fellow.
…Guinan Island. When I meet you at school after vacation, I will tell you all the events in the magazines you read in advance if you are not studying… No negotiation or compromise is possible… Unless you get more than 19 out of 20 questions I’ll give you right…
After finishing his reply, Lee Han opened the letter from Yoner.
…Lee Han. I received your letter well. I’m doing fine now. really. Nilia also asked for her regards. He said the signature you prepared was really helpful. Nilia is also preparing a letter right now, but her handwriting is bad, so she wants to practice more. When unnie is looking for people like that, it’s usually when she’s trying to make things terrible. Don’t be fooled by the good pay…
‘The pay is good?’
Lee Han immediately felt the urge to leave the headmaster’s job and run to the workshop.
What would he do if other alchemists took his place while Yi Han was gone?
…really. I think that business needs to be supplemented a little more. Some of the supporters get violent when they fail…
Lee Han nodded at his friend’s reply.
‘That sounds like securing the armed forces.’
…And this is a different story, but you didn’t have anything to write in the letter, so you pasted the same content? I’m talking to Nilia and I see some of the same things. If it’s like that, you don’t have to be formal, so there’s no need to paste it…
“!!”
Lee Han was surprised.
…Yoner. I got a good reply I recommend magic to Nilia. If you learn the < Lesser Manipulation > spell well, you can write a large number of letters without arm fatigue even with poor handwriting. Or getting another clerk would be a good idea. When I have to write a lot of letters, I do it that way too.
Thanks for the advice on how to do business. It would be good to have a little more force to keep the backers from going wild.
And it’s a complete coincidence that the content feels the same. I think it overlapped a little because I was formally writing things that happened these days. Don’t get me wrong…
‘I’ll stop sending letters to Nilia from now on.’
Lee Han opened the next letter with a grim determination.
…In the season of cold weather and snow, this anecdote comes to mind. One hundred and twenty years ago, the sorceress Oloede said… ‘
…who sent it?’
Lee Han was surprised by the contents of the letter, which were written much more densely than the prescribed form.
It was written so densely that I couldn’t feel the spacing.
-Adenart, lineage of the empire,
“……”
Lee Han was at a loss for words at the unexpected person.
He didn’t expect the princess to talk so much on letters.
…Thus, in that all problems have been solved, I think we can learn a lot of lessons. Now that I think about it, it reminds me of the meat pie I made the other day. It was a really great dish. I’ll write…
‘My eyes hurt.’
As Lee Han read it, he put it down with a frown on his face.
Roughly, there seemed to be a lot of useless content in the back as much as there was useless content in the front.
I will have to read it next time!
…Thank you for the letter from Wardanaz. By the way, if there’s one thing I want to tell you, the reason I stole the bread from the students of the White Tiger Tower is to give back my friends’ bread because they stole it first. ..
* * *
After finishing their work in the capital, Lee Han and his party set off again after taking a short break.
It was to meet those who needed to meet face-to-face among students from all over the empire except for the capital city.
Inside the flying carriage, Alcicle tried to tell Lee Han’s junior about the ‘history of the Pengerin family’.
“So, at this time, the Pengerin family stopped the rebellion of the beaver beasts and obtained the title of imperial nobility.”
“What did you do after that?”
“After that… um… nothing in particular has been done, but that’s the same with other families…” “
When a great drought occurred in the western part of the empire due to the backward flow of magical power, the head of the house moved the entire seawater, Did you remove the salt and make a reservoir?”
“……”
Alcicle never expected to be taken aback by such a fledgling.
“Whoa… The Wardanaj family is weird!”
“Alcicle-sama…”
“Oh no. It’s not that you’re weird…”
The skeleton headmaster, who had his eyes closed, said pathetically.
“How could you lose with words to a guy who didn’t even enter school?”
“I didn’t expect to learn so much…!”
“Tsk tsk. Your excuses are too ugly.”
Lee Han, who was looking at the fast-paced scenery below, noticed the northern great mountain range in the distance and asked.
“Wait, is the freshman in the northern mountains?”
“no. It is below the mountains.”
‘phew.’
Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.
He didn’t want to go into the mountains and meet the Shadow Rangers.
Apart from the fact that the Shadow Rangers are a bit of a nuisance, as long as there are lies…
Tak-
When the wagon arrived at the basin and got off, a group of people came up from down the road.
It was the Shadow Patrol.
“!!!”
“The servant in the shadows greets you. Your Excellency Gonadaltes. Are you going to visit the mountains?”
“no. I am not here to visit the mountains today.”
The Skeleton Principal accepted the shadow patrol’s welcome.
From that appearance, Lee Han realized that the skeleton headmaster did not come here just once or twice.
Well, even hunters operating in the poorest mountain ranges in the empire would need magical powers.
And there weren’t many wizards in the empire who could help out in a place like this.
“Then let’s go away. Call us if you need us.”
“okay. Thank you.”
“really. How is our young hunter doing?”
“You are doing very well. I was looking forward to the future.”
“thank you! It’s a prudent thing to brag about our hunter, but he’s a really good guy. I went to meet my friend to do the homework specially assigned this time, but he didn’t bother me at all.”
“oh. principal. There are knights! and! There are also knights here!”
Lee Han naturally changed the topic. The skeleton headmaster didn’t notice and replied.
“They are knights near the northern mountains. Those guys seem to covet freshmen too.”
“Oh no! These are the scandalous knights.”
“The knights are originally ungrateful and shameful guys.”
“I agree!”
The Shadow Rangers nodded their heads.
I don’t know who that little boy was, but he was a boy who only said the right things.
