Chapter 884
After talking with the best senior in Einrogard, Lee Han returned to the lounge and gained some enlightenment.
‘Senior Direth is right. In some situations, cheating is self-defense.’
Lee Han covered Jo Woo-rin, who was curled up and dozing off near the fireplace, with a huge blanket (made by knitting students’ cloaks).
For Jo Woo-rin, who usually lived quietly and peacefully in the mansion, magic school was like a festival filled with all kinds of fun, so even when he felt sleepy, he never went back to the lounge and followed Lee Han around.
Thanks to this, every time I returned to the lounge, I immediately curled up and fell asleep.
Actually, from this point of view, it wasn’t that bad. Taking care of Jo Woo-rin wasn’t that hard, but she also needed time for herself.
Lee Han wrote down on a piece of paper what he would do tomorrow Friday, what he would do over the weekend, and what he should keep in mind for next week’s midterm exam.
‘Hmm…’
Looking at the darkness outside the window, Lee Han felt the need to refresh his thoughts for a moment.
The convenient thing about being a wizard is that in this case, there is no need to fill a kettle with water and place it on the stove to boil.
Lee Han waved his staff and made water out of thin air and boiled it.
‘This is a wizard.’
In fact, ordinary wizards did not waste their precious magic power on such chores, but it was at times like this that Lee Han felt the greatest effectiveness of magic.
Holding a cup of hot, strong coffee, Lee Han approached the window.
Although it was a barren and terrible place, Einrogard was still a truly beautiful place.
If you stick your head out the window in the middle of the night, you can see the brilliant trails of stars passing by above your head and hear the breathing of the forest below…
-Grrr!
“……”
Lee Han, who saw Professor Bendozol sleeping naked under the window, had a very confused expression.
How can one’s few joys be destroyed like this? It seemed like I wouldn’t be able to look outside the window for a while.
‘It’s not a trick, it’s self-defense.’
Lee Han took out the [Einroguard’s Whisper] artifact and unfolded it. Then he began scribbling on the pages of the Watchmen’s Club.
Gonadaltes: Have you all heard the rumors?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: What rumor?
Gonadaltes: Rumors about this intruder. It was so shocking and surprising that my hands are still shaking.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: For that matter, the writing seems to be fine… So? What’s the rumor?
Gonadaltes: That intruder actually stole the headmaster’s treasure! Isn’t it amazing?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: What?! That’s amazing… Wait a minute. How do you really know that?
‘Oops.’
Lee Han thought, Oops.
He only thought about mobilizing the Watchmen Club members, but failed to consider how he would be seen.
‘I can’t help it. I have no choice but to insist.’
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: No matter how much I think about it, I think I know the principal strangely well…
Gonadaltes: I really want it. I don’t know how long I have to listen to this. Even if I spread a rumor, I have to suffer such slander. done. Let me stop talking.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: No. It’s my fault! I apologize.
The beaver penguin fox felt suspicious on the inside, but apologized.
There was no benefit from persecuting the person who provided information within the club.
Vaquantalana: That’s persuasive. The one who is now moving to capture the intruder is a boy from the Wardanaz family. He is the principal’s student. It makes logical sense if you took the principal’s treasure.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:…Do you even know what kind of treasure it is? It’s not [Light of the Forest], is it?
‘What is that?’
Although he didn’t know what artifact the other person was talking about, Lee Han agreed and looked at it.
Gonadaltes: We cannot completely deny that possibility. Of course, I’m not sure.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: That won’t work. I have to go kill the intruder. I’d like to apologize to everyone first. I’ll take the treasure.
‘There are times when this person is this trustworthy.’
Lee Han was almost certain that the identity of the beaver penguin fox was Illendil.
As such, the positive attitude shown within the Watchmen Club was surprising.
Senior Illendil, a half-breed dryad, is usually a slow and calm person.
‘no. It seems like he was active when it came to forests…’
When I thought about it, it seemed like he was randomly swearing when the forests were destroyed.
I didn’t know that the reason he was always so slow might have been because it wasn’t his interest.
Gonadaltes: Baquantalana. The beaver penguin fox says that, but you don’t really care? Beaver penguin foxes might monopolize it.
Vaquantalana: I have my own plan.
Gonadaltes: Do you know that among the principal’s treasures is a portal connected to the outside of the school? The rumor was that an intruder had taken it… I
tried to provoke the other person by saying anything, but Baquantalana seemed to have closed the book and there was no reply.
Lee Han, who had been waiting, clicked his tongue in disappointment.
‘Let’s not be impatient. ‘This is just the beginning.’
Just rescuing one person was a good achievement, and other club members who used this artifact may have gained additional interest in the future.
Lee Han was lost in thought about how to lie plausibly the next time the topic came up.
‘I’m not sure what Iactus likes. Bulgaris… seems a bit old-fashioned. Klzenberg This guy is just reluctant regardless of his persuasion.’
Tak-
“?”
How much time has passed?
A paper bird came in from the window. After checking the contents, Lee Han was surprised at the identity of the sender.
Upon confirmation, please come to the public lounge.
-Yukveltire]
‘Aha. It seems your senior also heard the rumor.’
Lee Han realized what the situation was.
It was clear that the rumor that the intruder had treasure had reached Yukveltire’s ears.
“Seniors.”
“hmm.”
Yukveltire, who was sitting on a chair in the common room (which had to be taken with it or made on the spot as students in other grades would steal it if left behind), nodded when he saw his junior.
“What’s going on? “Is it because of an intruder?”
“that’s right. “You have great insight.”
“I feel reassured if my senior helps me. thank you.”
Lee Han said in a pretentious manner.
Of course, Yukveltire, who had come forward for the skull headmaster’s treasure, would have felt very betrayed, but Lee Han was cool-headed.
In the specific situation of Einrogard, wouldn’t cheating be self-defense?
If the opponents were seniors from the Buyeo School of Magic, there was a high possibility that they would be recognized.
“What we know about the intruder. “And I’d like to know about the other students who participated.”
“I’ll do my best to explain.”
Lee Han began explaining what he knew.
Although I knew little about the intruder, I at least knew more about the students who were currently participating.
Yukbeltyre took notes on what his junior said and thought about how to approach it.
‘It may be pointless to approach from the bottom of the mountain range. Let’s go a little deeper and set a trap…’
“Senior. “By the way, what kind of treasure are you after?”
Lee Han asked with the intention of using this opportunity to obtain information about the treasure held by the skeleton principal.
If there is the Skeleton Headmaster’s treasure that Yukbeltyre is after, it must be worth that much.
“?”
But Jukveltyre’s reaction was unexpected.
Lee Han was staring at me with transparent eyes as if I had no idea what he was talking about.
“Weren’t you aiming for the intruder’s treasure?”
“very. Even if the principal’s treasure was stolen, it is likely to be relatively insignificant.”
Yukveltire was cool.
Even if an intruder stole the treasure, it was judged that it was highly likely that the treasure was insignificant.
Otherwise, if it were a really important treasure, the Death Knights wouldn’t be able to leisurely wander around like this.
Yukveltire was not stupid enough to go to work believing only such uncertain rumors.
‘no. Then why did you come forward?’
“If not… why?”
“As much as you, junior of the Wardanaz family, help me with my research, I will also help you.”
“…!!!”
Lee Han was truly surprised by the unexpected answer.
‘This is ridiculous!’
Who would have thought that someone like Yukveltire would step forward to help out of pure goodwill.
Of course, Lee Han had promised to help with research during vacation, but even considering that, it was a great deal.
‘From now on, if anyone calls my senior by the nickname ‘Little Verdus’, I will immediately grab him by the collar.’
Lee Han was surprised and moved.
People can change.
So does that mean that Professor Verdus will one day abandon his attitude and offer to help out of pure goodwill?
‘…I can’t even imagine…’
“Thank you. Seniors. I had no idea that you would really help me like this for nothing. “How did you come up with such a thought?”
“Because Direth told me to do it.”
“……”
More than half of Lee Han’s emotion disappeared.
no wonder!
“By any chance, did Senior Direth write down the statement that he will help you as much as I help him?”
“okay.”
“…But did Direth give you permission to tell me this?”
Lee Han, who was listening to the story, had some doubts.
Due to his personality, if he was going to push his friend’s back to help his junior, he would keep it a secret and would not reveal it.
Yukveltire frowned slightly on his pale face and thought about it.
And then he said.
“I don’t think I gave permission. “I want you to keep it a secret.”
“I understand… Anyway, thank you…”
“Please tell Delet properly as well. “You, the junior of the Wardanaz family, are grateful to me.”
“Yes yes.”
* * *
Jo Woo-rin woke up from a nod and crawled out to the common lounge when Lee Han was no longer in sight.
Lee Han, who was seeing Yukveltyre off, opened his eyes wide in surprise when he saw Jo Woo-rin.
“Are you awake?”
…Jourin didn’t sleep!
‘Why do Jo Woo-rin and the baby basilisk keep insisting that they didn’t sleep?’
Even if I just slept, no one would say anything, so I didn’t really understand why I insisted that I didn’t sleep.
Since it wasn’t important, Lee Han briefly explained what he was talking about.
“Senior Yukveltire, along with other seniors from the Buyeo magic school, seems to be stepping forward to catch the intruder.”
Yukveltire is so kind!
“Um… that’s… well… no. yes. “You are kind.”
Lee Han didn’t want to criticize his younger brother in front of Jo Woo-rin, so he just ignored it.
‘It seems like he was trying to hang Professor Verdus upside down in front of your majesty.’
Jo Woo-rin shook his head and said.
Actually, Jo Woo-rin thought Yukbeltyre came for an exam.
“A test?”
Lee Han is studying for the test in advance! So, let’s take the test first…
“…That’s a misunderstanding. majesty.”
Lee Han explained it again to Jo Woo-rin, who did not resolve the misunderstanding despite his explanation.
It’s not that I’m intentionally previewing the exam, but it’s just a coincidence, and the course that senior Yukveltyre is currently teaching is [Magic Algebra and Esoteric Geometry], but it’s a difficult course, so it makes no sense to preview it in advance…
“Even if I study more today and tomorrow, as well as all weekend. “It’s not enough.”
I think I can just look at Lee Han.
“Absolutely not…”
The door to the common room opened, and Yukbeltire, who had left earlier, returned.
Yukveltire sat down in front of Ihan with a light movement and said.
“You were so busy talking about intruders that you missed other issues. I have something to tell you. A junior of the Wardanaz family.”
“I’m listening.”
widely!
A thick wad of paper appeared on the table.
“It’s a [Magic Algebra and Arcane Geometry] exam. We’ll start as soon as we’re ready.”
“……”
