Episode 710
But I couldn’t help it.
Currently, there are three main opponents connected to Lee Han’s artifact note < Whisper of Einrogard >.
One was Delet, one was a friend from the same grade, and the last one was this person.
And unlike the previous two, this person had no need for respect at all.
‘That first year student seemed to have a talent for enchantment. If you listen to the enchantment, I plan to have you help me with my work next year.’
‘Considering that he is eccentric enough to hang out with Illendil and has a close relationship with the students of the Dark Magic School, it is very likely that the first year of this Wardanaz family’s friendships will be narrow and not amicable.’
If I had known who it was, these were insults that would have immediately struck my face.
What kind of person is this to say such rude things?
Originally, Lee Han had planned to suspect that if there was a senior who invited him to the club first, it would be this person.
There were too many seniors trying to invite me to the club, so it became a meaningless method…
‘There’s no need to say something nice.’
Sometimes, some people need cool-headed criticism.
This was especially true for people who tried to manipulate their juniors.
I knew it was rude, but today it was especially harsh. Why are you doing this?
– Didn’t you contact me again to talk about your junior? Even though the junior is a strange guy who listens to many different schools, he is a senior and harasses him to get him to help him with his work.
Lee Han played the role of a chivalrous Black Turtle Top student and scribbled a quill.
The person on the other side of the mirror slowly shook his head in response to the sharp response.
‘I’m still emotional.’
We’ve been talking since last year, but this Black Turtle Top (or, less likely, White Tiger Top) student had the disadvantage of being violent, impatient, and stubborn.
Even considering its shortcomings, it seemed like a useful material, so I contacted them to make an offer, and I can’t believe they responded like this.
The person on the other side of the mirror decided to remain calm and calm him down.
Persuading students with lower intelligence than oneself was not very difficult as I had experienced it countless times at Einrogard.
It’s not because of that.
-It’s not because of that?
okay. Due to personal reasons, I am holding off on proposing to my junior for a while.
“!”
Lee Han was surprised.
The person on the other side of the mirror has broken his stubbornness!
‘Can people… change?’
Although he was almost impressed at first, Lee Han soon became cold.
‘no. It must be because of the club.’
Come to think of it, aren’t the official clubs currently fighting over Lee Han?
In this situation, no one wanted to take a junior to study. He must have had the same mentality as Professor Verdus.
-Right. Well thought out. As a senior, you are the one who bullies your juniors…
You really have a misunderstanding. The junior member of the Wardanaz family enjoys learning. I try to learn magic from all schools, not just two or three schools. What would it mean to try to learn all schools of magic like Professor Garcia Kim? It’s good to care for your juniors, but don’t be overprotective. It would be rather annoying for juniors.
Pop!
Lee Han got angry and threw the note against the wall.
After a while, I came to my senses and picked up the note again.
‘What a bastard.’
It was almost as if the other person was doing this to deliberately discourage Lee Han.
And the most infuriating thing was that I couldn’t refute that claim.
Considering only the logically revealed facts, the opponent’s argument was correct.
‘shit. I think people who listen to all schools are a bit crazy.’
Lee Han gave up arguing and decided to be satisfied that his opponent had temporarily retreated due to the club uprising.
-Be loud and only say what you have to say. So what do you want to say?
Come into the club.
“…?”
Lee Han paused at the other person’s words.
I didn’t understand what they were talking about.
-Are you talking about an unofficial club?
right.
-I’m not interested in unofficial clubs. I have no intention of going in.
It’s a different type of club than what you usually think. In fact, you are already registered.
Lee Han held on to his cane and checked his surroundings.
Fortunately, I didn’t feel any particular curse or magic.
‘This bastard… what is he really doing?’
I can’t believe you’re telling me nonsense like I’m already a member of the club.
-I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Having this artifact itself meant that it was a condition of joining the club. Let me show you.
As soon as he finished speaking, the letters in the notebook Lee Han was using with his quill pen tangled together, fell apart, and began to transform into birds.
Lee Han was astonished when he sensed a change in magical energy within him.
‘From a distance… they changed the artifact?!’
I couldn’t believe it.
Who would have thought that he could manipulate an artifact from a distance, invisible, with his own will.
Of course, magic would have been incorporated into the artifact from the beginning. Otherwise, this operation itself would have been impossible.
But even taking that into account, it was unbelievable genius.
How much magic must have been put into that artifact to make something like this possible?
Moreover, in order for it not to feel out of place when viewed from the outside, it had to be refined to make it look like a different type of magic in itself while incorporating the magic formula.
While Lee Han was shocked, the change was completed and new letters were posted.
Iactus: I heard that the reason the Masonry Club wants him is because he helped the principal with the repair work last year, and members who visited the Tutanta family during winter break praised him… Wait. Are you a new member?
Baquantalana: That’s right. Since one person is missing, a new member will have to come in. I invited you.
‘Group communication artifact!’
It was clear that students were gathering and communicating here, just as they had shared with their friends.
The person who called himself Iactus was a newly met senior, and the person who called himself Vaquantalana, judging by the handwriting, was the person on the other side of the mirror who was talking to Lee Han just now.
‘Is this the name of a legendary enchantment wizard? ‘You look like someone who majored in the Buyeo School of Magic.’
Lee Han remembered that the person on the other side of the mirror was majoring in Buyeo magic school.
As such, it seemed like he was calling himself the name of a legendary bestowing wizard.
Baquantalana: We are the secret club < Guardians of Einrogard >. We don’t do activities or get together to socialize like other clubs. Just follow two rules.
…what is that?
Baquantalana: Maintain confidentiality and share information.
“…!”
Lee Han immediately realized what kind of place this secret society was.
Einrogard is a place where even the best friends can sometimes be betrayed.
It was a place where you never knew when your plan to terrorize the principal’s office might be revealed.
But at the same time, Einrogard was a place where information was more important than any other place in the empire.
You never know when the information you get a little faster than others may save your life.
It was clear that < The Watchmen of Einrogard > was an organization that expanded the purpose of Lee Han or Direth to talk to anonymous students and obtain information.
Are they gathered together to share secret information about Einroguard?
Iactus: You’re quick to notice.
Baquantalana: That’s right.
Vaquantalana explained in a little more detail.
To join < The Watchmen of Einrogard >, you had to be invited by one of the existing members and get the consent of more than half of the remaining members.
In order for the club’s purpose to be maintained, members also needed a minimum level of ability.
There was no need for members who just watched quietly without bringing information.
Did I also ask for your consent?
Iactus: No. You are a bit of an exception. One person graduated, so there was a vacancy, and Baquantalana invited me again. Baquantalana is a little special. Controlling and managing artifacts.
Iactus briefly explained Baquantalana’s role.
By obtaining one side of an ordinary communication artifact, Baquantalana was able to travel back to the other side and invite him to < The Sentinel of Einrogard >.
At the same time, it was also possible to expel a specific opponent’s communication artifact from < Ainrogard's Sentinel >.
Baquantalana’s role was very important, as if the communication artifact was confiscated by the skeleton headmaster, the club itself could have collapsed without this banishment.
‘what…!!!’
Lee Han was truly astonished at the fact that this artifact manipulation was not something he had originally prepared, but was simply reversed through a connected artifact.
For some reason, I thought I didn’t notice it at all, but I really had no preparation.
‘…It’s really amazing. A senior isn’t a senior for nothing.’
I felt humbled again.
Although Lee Han took all the schools at Einrogard and excelled in them, his seniors also had magic that only they had built up during that period. Lee Han could not easily overcome such magic.
Vaquantalana: Don’t say anything that could cause misunderstanding. I am also a member.
Iactus: I was just explaining it honestly. The manager role is true, right? It’s true that everyone respects you. Rather, congratulations on being new. I look forward to active activities in the future. The other members are probably unable to see right now because they are recharging their magic power. It’s a shame because I had enough magic stones…
These communication artifacts were either located in a place where magic power was continuously supplied, or a magician had to supply the magic power.
As the semester had only recently begun, it seemed that other members had not yet obtained the necessary magical power.
Iactus: So, what type of artifact are you? I’m lucky that it’s a blackboard, but some of the other guys have artifacts in the shape of crystal balls. If you look at that guy’s handwriting, it’s a sight to behold.
I’m in note form.
Iactus: Haha! It was fun. Notes won’t get you into this watchman’s club. Even though it looks like a simple communication artifact, this club has a lot more magic power than you might think.
Lee Han realized that he had made a mistake because he was embarrassed.
Even if you get information, you have to hide your identity, but you answer straight.
It doesn’t work. It is a mirror-shaped artifact.
Iactus: Ah. Is it a mirror? It’s better. Because it’s not round. Don’t forget what I just said about horsepower. It will require a lot more horsepower than a typical communication artifact. Every summer, a few people stopped coming.
Iactus explained the magic power consumed by the various secret defensive spells that maintain the Watchmen’s Club.
Lee Han put down the note and quietly checked his own magic power.
‘hmm. ‘Nothing has changed.’
It didn’t have much of an effect on my magic, to the point where I felt embarrassed listening to it. It seemed like it was only a small amount.
Iactus: Why don’t you decide on a name for yourself sooner? It’s uncomfortable because I keep having no name.
If it’s a name… is it a pseudonym?
Iactus: Of course. If you don’t want a pseudonym, you can use your real name.
Baquantalana: Not recommended. It’s dangerous to reveal your real name.
Iactus: Actually, even if you use a pseudonym, you can still guess to some extent!
Vaquantalana: Needless bravado will only make you wary and will not help you. Iactus.
Iactus: Does this seem like a bluff? I’m sure some of you are.
While the seniors were talking, Lee Han thought about a pseudonym.
Of course, I had no intention of using my real name and had to choose a pseudonym, which was quite difficult.
Since it was impossible to connect Lee Han at all, he could not use pseudonyms such as Gaynando or Moradi.
The moment you use a pseudonym like that, you’re giving yourself a choice…
‘What kind of pseudonym is as neutral and unidentifiable as possible?’
While Lee Han was thinking, a prompt came in.
In the end, Lee Han made a quick decision.
Gonadaltes: Thank you all.
Baquantalana:…
Iactus:…Are you crazy?
