Chapter 819
Duke Ikaldoren, who was very intimidated, hurriedly grabbed his quill and started signing, saying, ‘I will support Yukveltyre’s research on artificial dimensions.’
From his appearance, he did not show the slightest confidence that he was in control of the dark world that usually took place in the shadows of the empire.
It was as miserable as a wealthy man who went bankrupt in his later years as he wrote his will with his hands trembling.
Ihan and Yukveltire watched with satisfaction. Fortunately, Direth, who was still sane, held their shoulders and whispered to them.
“Hey. Wait a minute.”
“?”
“??”
The two looked at Delet as if asking why.
“…I told you to be a little more polite.”
‘It’s resolved, right? Now you just have to keep it locked away until the end of the week.”
“Don’t worry. senior. I’ll take care of your meals as well.” My
friend was scratching his head and his junior was saying something else without notice, but Direth gritted his teeth and maintained patience.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrr…”
“Dirrett. Tell me straight. Don’t do that
in a dignified way.” “I think you said, ‘No matter what, that’s true,’ but…”
Lee Han took a step back as he spoke. Yukveltyre was puzzled as to why his junior was taking a step back.
Exactly !
Rhett hit his friend’s head with the tip of his cane.
Yukveltyre kept blinking with a look in his eyes as if the sky had collapsed at the betrayal of a friend he trusted.
“Why?”
“Are you saying that? Are you only going to do magic for one year? The duke over there will be released someday and return, and I want to be blacklisted among the empire’s nobles!”
“But…”
Yukveltire tried to protest.
There are many great nobles in the empire, and no matter how much Duke Ikaldoren holds a grudge, Even if you spread negative rumors, as long as you have excellent magic skills,
you can get enough nobles to take interest and support you…
Exactly!
“And you’re going to put blood on your junior’s hands just to get funding for your research! Even though you did that, you are still a human!”
“That’s…”
Yukveltyre tried to protest again.
Isn’t the threat that Lee Han just made a direct order from Yukveltyre himself?
But Yukveltyre didn’t say anything and kept his mouth shut. I asked.
For some reason, it seemed like if I spoke here, a curse would fly instead of a wand.
It was a mistake to trust Direth and not prepare for a close-range curse. Yukveltire reflected on his innocence.
“Senior. Calm down.”
Lee Han tried to explain while hiding behind Yukveltire.
“Honestly, the duke was impossible to persuade. You know, right?”
“…I was a little scared and spoke gibberish… but I still persuaded… Wait. I think you two have met before. What happened?”
“I only received a few invitations.”
“Really? The reaction is too strong for something like that.”
“In the end, I went to arrest him together with the principal…”
Direth glared at his junior.
Shouldn’t he be the first to say that?
“For some reason, he said he was the Demon Commander’s disciple blah blah blah. …Ugh. If you want the magic to last long, it’s not good to get grudges.”
“No matter how Duke Ikaldoren holds a grudge and spreads bad rumors, you can overcome it if you have excellent magic skills…” ”
You be quiet.”
He added. Diret sighed after shutting up his thick friend.
It was none of his business whether Yukveltire made enemies into legions or not, but he was worried that his junior had already built up a grudge against the Duke of the Empire.
There were many enemies in the wizard’s path . There was nothing good about it.
The headmaster must have known about it, so he took Lee Han with him and went to arrest him.
It was a really nasty sign that anyone would spread the word. As
Direth sighed so hard, Lee Han became a little worried.
“The devil.” Is the rumor that he is Gwan’s disciple that dangerous…?”
“No… he will be respected in his own way.”
“He will be hated just as much.”
“Senior. Hang in there!”
Ihan hurriedly grabbed Direth’s arm and stopped him. I saw a green flash in his eyes, and I saw that he was preparing a curse containing at least some poison.
Yukveltire asked as if he didn’t understand.
“I explained it to you, but why are you doing this? ”
“I think I know… Anyway, the rumor that he is the Demon Commander’s disciple seems to be a bit of a double-edged sword.”
Direth was about to say, ‘It’s more like a sword with an edge that only points in the direction of the master,’ but held back because he felt sorry for his junior.
Friend . As his junior was depressed, Yukbeltyre felt the need to give him practical advice.
“Dirette. If you’re that worried about your junior, there’s a way.”
“…What is it?”
“I’m threatening Duke Ikaldoren more clearly now. Even when you are released, don’t
dare go against my will.” Since the situation was already polite and reconciliation was wrong, it was better to scare them so that there would be no problem.
Lee Han was intrigued by those words.
“Tell me in more detail…”
“Hey. . Come outside.”
‘No. I wanted to hear it.’
Lee Han was secretly disappointed at the cold voice of Dirette.
If he had the chance, he thought he would listen to Yukbeltyre in detail later.
If nothing else, he seemed to be very good at this as he was Professor Verdus’ student, so he was trustworthy
* * * After mediating the duel between the two seniors and guiding the Duke to a warm bed in the basement of the Heukam Hall (it was quite a warm place because there was a stove next to it for burning corpses), Lee Han
returned
to the dormitory as if nothing had happened .
From the 7th floor, with the eyes of a wild beast. I saw my friends and seniors who were looking for sponsors come back one by one after finishing their work.
“Thank you for your hard work. Senior Perse.”
“It wasn’t that hard. Most of the Gyeokgu Club sponsors are good people. And we also receive support from the Imperial Gyeokgu Association… Oh, right. Junior. I heard you received separate support? As expected,
you are the master of Vasilisk and Griffon.”
Perse gave a look of respect to his junior who had achieved excellent results.
It seemed like he could not have imagined that an ancient being would have awakened and come back with hidden wealth.
Lee Han smiled pretentiously.
“I was lucky.”
“Where can luck be? really. you guys. Have you heard the rumors about the peacock?”
Perse asked, looking not only at Lee Han but also at the other friends behind him. The
second-year students at Blue Dragon Tower nodded and answered,
“Of course I heard.”
“If you catch the peacock, it will actually be as much as its own weight . “Do you mint gold coins?”
‘How quickly did the rumor spread?’
Lee Han was a little embarrassed.
Even if his seniors didn’t know, he never thought it would spread to the extent that even his friends knew about it.
Perse said with serious concern on his hard, angular face.
“Just in case, I’m telling you, don’t be greedy about the Duke of Ancalden.”
“Ikaldoren. It’s a duke.”
“Ah. this. Duke of Ikaldoren. that’s right. Don’t be greedy about Duke Ikaldoren.”
Perse, who was explaining, paused.
How does his junior even know his name?
‘Well, I’m a student of the academy, so I’m sure I’ll hear rumors sooner.’
“The principal won’t necessarily lock up someone who doesn’t have money and then release them, so he will give away a lot of gold coins, but the competition will be that fierce. There are rumors that they are even
targeting 5th grade seniors.”
“Isn’t that too much! “I will graduate in the 5th year!”
“Stop! Aren’t those words too harsh? Show respect to your senior who went up to the 5th grade. Don’t you have any sympathy?”
‘Perse’s words seem crueler…’
Lee Han muttered to himself.
“Don’t worry. Seniors. We don’t have any greed for dukes.”
“That’s right. I heard that the hallway on the 6th floor was destroyed because of a fight between 5th graders over an operation.”
“……”
Lee Han was thrilled to see what he had done being cleverly mixed into rumors.
This is how rumors are created. !
Anyway, thanks to this, the second-year students seemed to have lost a lot of their interest in the peacock. Seeing
that the older-year students were fighting so fiercely, their intention to participate in it had drastically decreased.
Some friends said they were not interested and whispered to Lee Han.
“Wardanaz. “Are you really not interested?”
“Are you really, really not interested?”
“I said I’m not.”
“Phew. Right. Then I’m not interested either.”
“Me too!’
“……”
Lee Han was left speechless by the strong friendship of his friends who promised to be with him if he ever tried to kidnap the duke.
“It’s good that you’re not interested in the duke. I wasn’t going to say this, but there’s a fifth-year senior at White Tiger Tower. He’s Caton-senior from the Jahan family,
and he’s a great swordsman who can handle Aurors freely.”
“You must be good at magic, right?”
“Huh? Uh… Well, that’s it. Anyway, this person said he got his arm shattered while participating in the battle for the duke. That means a lot of strong students are participating.
Everyone, be careful. You understand? I came here to steal the duke for no reason. “If you are misunderstood, you may be taken to the healing room rather than the punishment room.”
“I’ll keep that in mind!”
“Junior. You?”
Perse asked sternly when Lee Han did not respond.
This former school student was so fearless that he didn’t know what he was getting into. There should have been more emphasis
: “I’ll keep that in mind too!”
“Okay. That’s enough.”
“But Senior Perse. Isn’t it a rumor that Senior Caton of the Jahan family had his arm shattered? I can’t believe he was injured.”
Lee Han came to his senses and attempted to manipulate public opinion.
But Perse shook his head.
“That’s not true. I heard it myself.”
“…To whom?”
Lee Han asked again, thinking that whoever said it would be labeled a liar.
“Directly to Senior Caton of the Jahan family. He emphasized several times that he was a truly great opponent.”
“……”
Lee Han secretly clenched his fists.
* * *
Even though it was club week, it did not mean that lectures could not be held.
Students had to kidnap and appease sponsors while attending lectures.
In particular, Lee Han was even busier.
‘It’s a shame I got as much work done as possible on the weekend.’
If I had to kidnap Duke Ikaldoren, starting with the ancient servant sent by his crazy clone, during the week, the work would have been many times more tiring.
Thinking like that, Lee Han took a step forward. It wasn’t because of lectures or sponsorship. There were chores that had to be done periodically.
Take care of the animals you raise (you had to calculate carefully as Ponrigg gets upset when you meet and see the unicorn first, and the unicorn gets upset when you take the basilisk with you), and obtain additional food from your own vegetable garden and the kitchen club area that you received from your seniors…
Lee Han, who was moving secretly in the darkness of the night as dawn approached, stopped when he saw the familiar figure of an old pirate pirate in the distance.
“Lagessa!”
“What kind of kid… is it you? Why are you running around like a rat using an invisibility spell at this hour?”
“You are supposed to be in the dormitory at this time. What are you doing here, Lagesa? I don’t think this is where the sponsors stay.”
“I was bored so I was looking around. I feel sorry for the students.”
“I definitely feel sorry for the seniors.”
Lee Han sympathized deeply.
Then Lagesa got angry and said,
“What’s so pitiful about those kids! They are arrogant and irreverent!”
“Yes? “You mean your seniors?”
“Yes! You damn kids.”
‘What on earth did your seniors do?’
Lee Han was really surprised to see Lagesa getting really angry in that short period of time.
“I know Torgerd’s daughter as a fool for investing some gold in Bible, you damn brats! I’m sure you don’t think that way too,
right?”
“Lagessa. I am a student of Professor Verdus… Professor Verdus’ research is well worth investing in.”
“That’s not true.”
“……”
“That’s enough. When I said I was pitiful, I was referring to the new student here. Look over there.”
When Lagesa pointed forward, Lee Han strengthened his eyesight and cast his gaze.
From what he could see, there was a basket of food that Lagesa had thrown in front of him.
‘What?’
A moment later,
skinny first-year students came rushing up, grabbed the food basket, and started eating it frantically.
Lagesa shook her head and said,
“No matter what, you’re starving like that.”
“Oh no. I’m not really that hungry, but…”
“Really? As far as I know, that should be normal. Has it changed in the meantime?”
