Chapter 735
When Lee Han gave up on escaping, the Death Knight, who was about to go out with a letter, also caught the mood and came back.
The skeleton principal scowled and glared.
Are you really going to send me away just because I told you to? huh?
-sorry. master. As a former knight, I wonder if it’s possible…
Still, I can’t believe I trust such a fledgling wizard rather than the Imperial Commander!
-……
-……
Even if they conveniently brought the imperial title with them in this case, the Death Knights who had been through all the hardships were not fooled.
Honestly, if there was a conflict between the skeleton principal and the principal’s unlucky student, I think there would probably be more justice in the latter… The
skeleton principal began speaking, turning his deep blue gaze towards Lee Han.
okay. One of my crazy alter egos has entered the estate.
“I almost died because of that crazy alter ego!”
what? Did you really meet him?
The skeleton principal was puzzled.
If Lee Han had made contact, there was no way the skeleton principal would not have noticed.
In response, Lee Han grumbled and confessed what had happened.
“…It would have been really dangerous without Senior Delet.”
-By the way, Wardanaz.
One of the Death Knights listening next to me asked a question.
“yes?”
-Why aren’t you wearing a ring to call your master?
Other Death Knights who heard the question also nodded as if they agreed.
Normally in a situation like that, wouldn’t you call the skeleton principal?
“uh. “I couldn’t think of it.”
-……
-……
Why is everyone like that? That kind of independence is a virtue.
Surprisingly, the skeleton principal took Lee Han’s side.
Lee Han, who was embarrassed, also asked with joy.
“Is that so?”
okay. haha. You’re the one who called the professors bickering.
Lee Han cursed inwardly at the back of the skeleton principal.
‘He gave it to me to use.’
That was probably a test left behind by the alter ego.
‘Did you say trap wrong?’
I was suspicious that the skeleton principal had misunderstood the meaning of the test.
If that’s true, it also explains the difficulty of Einrogard’s test.
It must have been left for the same purpose as fantasy.
The skeleton principal explained in a calm voice. As it was an alter ego that was a part of himself in the distant past, he knew the principles of its behavior.
Just as a qualified person can see the reverberations of memories when they approach them, a mass of magical power would attack them after seeing the reverberations of memories.
“So, if a qualified person approaches you, you will see the vision, and after you have seen the vision, you will also attack to test it?”
okay.
“Is the principal’s alter ego insane?”
Lee Han was astonished.
That wasn’t a trap, it was a test.
It’s a crazy alter ego. But in ancient times, that was an ordinary test.
“Yes…”
Lee Han, who answered with a confused expression, suddenly became curious and asked.
“By the way, principal. You said you left it for a qualified person to see, but what is that qualification? “I didn’t do anything.”
Why don’t you do it…
The skeleton principal spoke in an indifferent manner, as if he didn’t believe it.
The Death Knights also seemed to agree and burst into laughter.
-I couldn’t have done it!
-You must have done something!
‘Should I send a real letter?’
Even if you haven’t done anything, there are many ways to judge the quality of a high wizard who has reached the level. I must have judged it somehow.
“Have you checked the horsepower?”
well. Maybe.
“Are you taking classes from the previous school?”
Maybe so.
“Or because of a contract with a powerful being from another dimension?”
You said you didn’t do anything?
“……”
After punching his student, the skeleton principal slowly continued his explanation.
The reason I leave my alter ego alone is because the reason for doing so is weak compared to the effort it took to catch it.
The Skeleton Principal’s clones were basically clones released from the main body, so there were many restrictions.
Like beings from other dimensions, it was difficult to maintain their appearance in the present world for a long time, and they were strongly bound by their own desires and emotions.
Rather than pulling out magic and clashing with each other in the hope of completely eliminating them, it was most efficient to just wait for them to naturally disappear from the present world.
Moreover, there is no reason to cause such a fight within Einrogard territory.
“For what purpose?”
I have a few guesses, but it’s still just a guess. not sure.
“hmm. But isn’t the case a little different this time? They even came in with magic criminals. “If that magical criminal corrupts or uses the principal’s alter ego…”
Well. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that.
The skeleton principal laughed at Antagondals in an arrogant and cold manner.
Even though his notoriety was widespread among the magic criminals of the empire, he had an attitude of disdain for his abilities.
Didn’t he beg for mercy in the vision you saw? To pick up even a single scrap of magic?
“It wasn’t that bad.”
Leave it alone. Among those who presumptuously tried to use my alter ego, there was none who did not meet a tragic end.
Lee Han actually wanted to pay attention, but it wasn’t easy when there were magic criminals and even more dangerous crazy clones in Einrogard’s territory.
“Can’t we just deal with magic criminals?”
It would be easy if he showed himself, but he is also quite careful. Did I ask you if we met earlier?
Ever since he sensed that a crazy clone had entered Einrogarde’s domain with a servant, the headmaster had woven a dense spiderweb-like surveillance network.
Of course, both the crazy clone and the magic criminal knew this well, so instead of approaching the main building, they kept moving in the most remote outskirts of the territory.
If you’re interested, bring him out. Just pull it out and you’ll be able to grab it right away.
“I don’t think it’s something I can do.”
Don’t underestimate yourself. You’re not really…
“……”
The skeleton principal was even more scared than he was when he tried to speak.
I couldn’t even guess what he was trying to say.
“…Anyway, thank you for explaining. principal. “Actually, I thought you might not tell me since I’m still a student.”
why me?
The skeleton principal was genuinely puzzled.
“Usually only professors know about these things, right? “I don’t want students to be scared…”
What do professors do on their own? And fear is always a good stimulus.
“…You didn’t tell your seniors.”
Because I didn’t ask.
“……”
Lee Han was speechless at the confident answer.
Looking at their expressions, I thought they wanted to tell their seniors, but even if I did, there wouldn’t be much of a reaction. They probably have more important things to do.
“Yes, thank you.”
Instead of focusing on petty magic criminals, focus on magic. Isn’t your senior Delet already embodying a small world?
Lee Han was dumbfounded to see the skeleton principal comparing himself to the 5th grade Black Turtle Top chief.
‘I’ll do my best.’
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
ah. I almost forgot.
“?”
Before coming here, don’t forget to collect the letter you left with someone else. Don’t just forget and send it to His Majesty.
‘no. ‘How did you know?’
* * *
Eulde of the Marchand family was spending the first week of Einrogard in the punishment room.
I wasn’t lonely. There were many other students who were trapped besides Eolde.
These were students who failed to smuggle or were caught on the first day due to an accident.
“hey. “I don’t think I saw you while smuggling. How did you come here?”
“A member of the Ukim family attempted to escape, but was caught next to him. “I acted cool when being interrogated, so they sent me to the punishment cell.”
“What about you in the room next door?”
“I, too, was a member of the Ukim family who tried to escape, but was caught next to him.”
“Well. “I guess they both insisted.”
“no. I just snitched and they sent it to me. shit.”
“…are you in the room on the far right?”
“I am the eight head of the Ukim family.”
Sighs echoed through the hallways.
After completing their self-introductions, the students in the punishment room quickly began exchanging information.
Even though I was in the punishment room, I had to go to school.
“hey. What do you think of this lecture? “You’re going to proceed, right?”
“To be honest, I don’t think this course will be closed.”
“I. Get well, jailer! “Can you at least contact the professor in advance to do the assignment?”
The Death Knight walking down the hallway passed by coldly.
The students sighed at that sight.
Staying in the punishment room for a few days wasn’t that difficult because I was used to it, but missing the lecture content was quite painful.
You will have to go out and make up for it harshly…
“I knew that would happen, so I brought a book with me when I got caught.”
“Ugh. “I’m jealous.”
“The course I chose doesn’t have any classes this week, but I think I should still prepare in advance…”
While the students were chatting noisily, someone shouted from another cell.
“Does anyone have any books?”
“!”
“Are there any books left?! “Do you have a book titled ‘Advanced Application of the Fire Element’?”
“there is. “There are also magazines, starting with a compendium of elemental applications, the new Toberry series, < Monthly Black Magic Trends >, etc.”
“…That bastard’s library club!!”
“I was captured on purpose to do business! “What a toxic bastard!”
The students locked in the punishment room were shocked by the madness of the library club members.
I never thought they would get caught together to sell books on purpose.
“haha. It’s a service for you. “Don’t you want to buy it?”
“Ugh… Give me a book < Advanced Application of the Fire Element >. “A few badges of the original price?”
The experienced Einrogard students had already guessed it.
If you come to the punishment room and sell books, the price will probably increase several times.
“What are you talking about? “You can just pay the original price.”
“uh? really?”
“Instead, you should purchase and read < The Life and Death of Zundare Dolfram > here first.”
“…That’s about it…”
Unlike other clubs, the library club deserved respect just by not making profit here.
Buying one more boring trash book is a price worth paying.
“ruler. here.”
“I have a book. Please take it.”
“thank you. Now, please also sell < Advanced Application of the Fire Element >.”
“What are you talking about? “I said you have to read < The Life and Death of Zunder Dolfram > first?”
“…Oh, you bought it?”
“yes. “You have to buy it and read it.”
“……”
The student, who only then realized something was strange, asked in a puzzled voice.
“I bought it, so it’s up to me to decide when to read it, right? “I’ll read it later, so sell it quickly!”
“It’s not possible. Please read first. “We will check.”
‘I let my guard down!’
Only then did the students realize that they had underestimated the craziness of the library club.
These kids were now trying to force me to read books I normally wouldn’t read!
“Are there any miscellaneous magazines that I need to buy first?”
“yes. There is a book you must read first. “This is < A Year Spent in the Frost Giant Dimension >.”
“Well… please look at that. “I saw it once and I almost passed out from boredom.”
“It’s not possible. “It’s a good book to read in its entirety.”
The students tried to negotiate to raise the price, but the library club members were stubborn.
In the end, the students in the punishment room had no choice but to shed tears and read books they had never read before.
“Wow… “I want to read something else.”
“…But reading this again, it’s actually quite fun, isn’t it?”
“shut up.”
After the students bought books one by one, they whispered carefully even though they were frozen.
“hey. hey.”
“yes?”
“I don’t have any gold coins right now. In fact, I have secured a huge amount of contraband outside.”
“No trauma.”
“It’s really outside!”
Ulde shouted in a voice full of resentment. But not all students believed it.
What kind of contraband does the guy who was captured with have on him?
“Is your senior there?”
“???”
“Senior Ulde of the Marchand family? “Isn’t this the hallway?”
“Here! Here!! “Here!!!”
