Episode 798
“You said you just boarded the ship.”
“When you wander the sea, you board and disembark. No matter how urgent it is, we will not set sail until the ship is fixed.”
‘It seems like a far-fetched analogy.’
I had admired the analogy earlier, but now it felt far-fetched.
Lee Han said with complaint.
“I learned it to the best of my ability, but I have to find a way to use it safely. It’s a shame to put it off because it’s difficult…”
-Who destroyed this place?
A startled voice came from downstairs. The seniors downstairs seemed to have witnessed the destruction while walking down the hallway.
“this.”
Lagesa also looked embarrassed, as if she hadn’t expected it.
“How do I fix it?”
“what?”
“This place is broken.”
Einrogard’s main building is like a living thing, so even if you destroy it and burn it, it will be restored over time, but that doesn’t mean you can just destroy it and then move on.
What is wrong with the people passing by while it is being restored?
The old pirate woman said with a chuckle.
“What is my job?”
“yes? “You are a pirate.”
“yes. “You’re not a carpenter, a mason, or a blacksmith, are you?”
“yes.”
“Then let’s jump out!”
Lagesa quickly turned around and started running with the chained pirates.
Lee Han, who was dazed for a moment, realized it too late and ran after him.
‘…After this, I won’t hang out with pirates.’
No matter how much I thought about it, pirates didn’t seem like good people to hang out with.
* * *
Rafael, who joined the Einrogard Duel Club this year, always had one question.
‘Why on earth is that there?’
Professor Bagrek is prohibited from entering (report to Professor Ku when entering).
Text added next to the club rules engraved on old bronze.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out why that phrase was added.
Did Professor Boladi do something?
-I. Seniors.
-oh. That’s right. Ask anything.
-Professor Bagleg…
-You can’t shut up! Such an arrogant and rude bastard. Where do you ask that?
-???
A senior who acted kindly and said he was in the same class showed signs of a seizure when asked about Professor Boladi.
Thanks to this, Rafadel and other second-year students had no choice but to let their imaginations run wild.
“Did you borrow money from Professor Bagrek and not repay it?”
“Professor Bagrek doesn’t seem like that kind of person. “Wasn’t he just a wizard who was blunt and made lectures boring?”
“I think it was a little different when I heard it from Wardanaz…”
Unfortunately, none of the students knew about Professor Boladi.
There was one person, but that one person wasn’t here.
“What did Wardanaz say?”
“Did you say you were having a hard time because of the professor? “I guess so.”
“…That’s just the way it is. “It’s normal.”
“I also said that the professor gives too many assignments.”
“Is that normal too?”
The second-year students could not help but imagine Professor Boladi, like a blind man describing an elephant.
Meanwhile, another senior member of the Ukim family arrived. Rapadel, who found the same white tiger top senior, bowed his head in joy.
“Seniors.”
“ah. That’s right. nice to meet. “Did you come out to practice?”
“yes.”
“It just worked out well. Next week is club week, right? “It seems like a guest came to our club too.”
“!”
The second-year students’ eyes lit up.
First of all, Einrogard students were excited whenever they heard that they were outsiders.
By the time I reached my senior year, I felt excited even if I was an outsider who had sneaked into the school.
If you stay in Einrogard for a long time, you will see that it is a walking treasure trove where outsiders come in with news and goods from outside the country.
And even excluding that, guests who came to the club to teach were welcome.
“Good!”
“Which one are you?”
“But Professor Ku, you’ve been very busy these days, right? “You managed to invite me?”
Palga responded one by one to the words of his juniors.
“That’s a good thing. I don’t know who he is yet, but I heard he is an excellent dueling wizard. And hmm… I see?”
Palga himself was puzzled by the last question.
Clearly Professor Kirmin has been extremely busy lately.
-professor. I’m inviting guests for this club week…
-Sorry, sorry! Woo Kim. I’m so out of it these days. Because of the work entrusted to me by the principal. But don’t worry. We will definitely invite outside guests.
-If you are busy, we are fine.
-no! As a professor, I can’t not do something like this. I definitely invite you. got it?
On the outside, Club Week was a fun festival and event, but inside it was the intense sweat and tears of the Einroguard wizards.
Some ‘fancy’ clubs are still visited by outsiders who are interested in the club, but some clubs barely save face by sending out invitations and making preparations in advance.
It was similar to a magic school.
If a certain school had students lining up even though the professor was a beaver beast, then a certain school had no idea whether or not new students would come even though it had the nicest 5th year student in Einrogard… So, it was
natural for Professor Kirmin to make a promise to the duel club students. .
Because the duel club was not a club visited by many outside guests.
“Professor Ku knows a lot of people, so I think he sent invitations in his spare time.”
“Indeed… Professor Ku is amazing. “It wouldn’t be normal to send out invitations, but in your spare time!”
The new members of the duel club gave a look of respect.
Einrogard was quite fortunate to have a professor who was interested in the club.
“…Palga. “I was honestly worried about Professor Bagrek.”
A friend from the same grade whispered to Palga, who returned from talking with his juniors.
“What are you talking about?”
Palga looked with a straight face.
Even if you are friends, there is a line at which jokes can be forgiven.
Why does Professor Bagrek’s name appear here?
“Think about it carefully. How busy has Professor Ku been these days? Sending a formal invitation is quite time-consuming… and Professor Koo has a track record.”
Professor Kirmin Ku was one of the rare popular professors in Einrogard, and the duel club students did not deny that.
However, Professor Kirmin also had a terrible and ugly past, including inviting Professor Boladi to the duel club.
Dueling club members had to fight Professor Boladi in an enclosed space for three days for the simple crime of saying ‘I want to become stronger.’
“……”
When Palga recalled that painful past, his breathing became difficult and his face turned pale.
I would have already been traumatized when we met during winter vacation, but…
“…No. I checked with Professor Bagrek and he was in the basement classroom. Never a guest. And you said you were an outside guest.”
“yes? after. “I guess I’ve become too sensitive.”
The friend apologized to Palga.
Even though he is an outside guest, there is no way Professor Boladi would visit.
“no. I understand you. “I’ll have to tell my juniors the truth someday.”
“I… I’m scared. “I wonder how my juniors will view it if they find out that Professor Koo actually did something like that.”
“You can’t keep hiding the truth…”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the duel club was kicked down and an old woman came inside.
The old woman who came inside with the chained pirates rolled her eyes and checked the students.
“Is this a duel club?”
“yes? you’re right.”
“nice to meet. I am Ragessa, daughter of Thorgerd. “A pirate, a captain, and an admiral.”
“?”
Palga tilted his head.
Wasn’t there something strange in front of the captain and admiral?
“You just became a pirate…?”
“I came here after receiving an invitation. You guys are idiots imitating a duel. yes?”
“no! “Imitating a duel!”
Several students, including Palga, were upset.
The Einrogard Duel Club was receiving compensation for officially acting as a duel champion.
Since they fought for other people’s gold coins, they fought much more courageously and fiercely than ordinary duelists.
But imitating a duel?
“If I tell you to imitate, you are imitating! They stand facing each other, wait until the signal is given, and then fight. I really want it. “I don’t see how such a long, boring fight can be real.”
Flap!
Lagesa took out a roll of paper from her pocket.
“I received a request as a gift from idiots who like imitation like that. “I heard you guys like this kind of thing?”
“…!”
The duel club students were surprised.
One of the sources of income for the Einrogard Duel Club is the compensation received for giving duels.
In order for these rewards to accumulate smoothly, requests for duels had to continue to come in.
I never thought they would bring such a thick request form like that.
“How did you save so much?”
“There is a way!”
Lagesa chuckled at the students’ questions.
When threatened by pirates, even people who originally had no intention of dueling will want to save the Great Warrior.
“anyway. “I want to give you this, but… I can’t just give it to you.”
“I was prepared for that much. “What should I do?”
Some students came forward as if they knew it would happen.
There was no way such an eccentric wizard would just give gifts without receiving anything in return.
“Here’s a rookie pirate. Fight this pirate and win.”
“????”
Lee Han was surprised when he was suddenly dragged out while watching.
However, that embarrassment was nothing compared to the embarrassment of the second-year duel club students.
“Wardanaz why are you there??”
“I was asked by the professor to help guide the school.”
“Professor Ku?”
“no. B…”
“Be quiet! Why have such a long conversation before a fight! “I don’t know if we curse at each other!”
Lagesa grumbled and interrupted, probably because she didn’t want to see that.
“Lagessa. “I don’t want to fight with dueling club members.”
“it could be. Because pirates don’t fight without compensation. “I’ll give you this much gold every time you win.”
Lagesa spread her fingers and said. Nevertheless, Lee Han was skeptical.
“There are third-year seniors, and I…”
Lagesa’s other hand also spread out. Lee Han said firmly.
“I’ll give it a try.”
“Kihihi. You know how to negotiate. okay! I’m giving those guys enlightenment. Do you understand?”
While Lee Han was talking with Lagesa, the third grade students were discussing with their expressions.
Even if the other person is a genius who took classes at the previous school, he or she is still a junior.
With the honor of the duel club at stake, I had no intention of backing down in fear of my junior.
“You must have no weaknesses since you take all schools.”
“It’s inevitable that you will clash with your special skills. I go first. … What’s wrong with your arm?”
“That… that guy. “I’m Professor Bagrek’s student.”
“……”
“……”
While the seniors were talking behind him, Rafadel asked Lee Han.
“Wardanaz. Did Professor Ku entrust it to you? to you?”
“no. Professor Bagrek entrusted it to me. “Professor Bagrek was asked to do so by Professor Ku.”
“Right. Seniors. “Now that we’re talking, I’d like to ask, but why is Professor Bagrek banned from entering…”
Rafadel turned around and was about to ask a question.
However, the third-year seniors had already run out the door and disappeared.
“……”
“……”
“But I learned one thing!”
Lagesa nodded, satisfied.
It was also a very important wisdom for a wizard to not be stubborn and to run away when he felt in danger.
