Episode 904
Grumble!
A different heat than before came out.
A flame with concentrated destructive power that is qualitatively different from ordinary flames.
If the combustion process caused by a typical flame is a material combining with air to emit heat, blue flame was literally a magical flame that combined the concept and information of ‘burning’.
A flame that burns even non-burnable materials, starting from fireproof equipment.
After passing the second and third gates, Professor Djorjic’s ecstasy reached its peak.
In my head, I could already hear the meeting participants shouting that they should support Jorgic, who raised such students, as the principal of Einrogard.
“That’s great!”
“Is there anything you would like to point out?”
Lee Han asked while maintaining concentration.
If there was room for improvement, he had to fix it right away.
“If there was such a thing, I would have said it right away. Perfect score. Wardanaz student!”
Pot!
Lee Han sighed in relief after releasing the blue flame he had maintained.
It was worth practicing. Thanks to this, he passed the test as expected.
“Then I’ll just go. professor.”
“Uh, huh? “Let’s do that.”
“see you next time!”
After quickly saying hello, Lee Han left the classroom.
He finished so quickly that the other seniors had not even arrived yet.
Professor Jorgic muttered as he looked behind him.
“I was going to ask you why you finished the final exam in one go, but there’s no need to do that.”
When I think about it, asking a student like Wardanaz the reason itself could be ridiculous.
Isn’t there any fool who asks a bird why it flaps its wings?
Just as a wizard should seek knowledge, that boy will also advance towards knowledge with all his might.
Professor Djorjic looked at his student’s back with eyes full of anticipation.
I was already excited to see how much this student would show Professor Djorjic about his accomplishments this year.
* * *
Lee Han, who was preoccupied with finishing the test quickly, did not notice the sense of discomfort that came from Professor Djorjic’s reaction.
Instead, he immediately gave his all for the next test.
“professor. Here is a dimensional map.”
“That’s great. however…”
Professor Millais frowned slightly as he adjusted his monocle.
For this test, <Ancient Artifacts and the Tragic History of Summoning Magic>, students had to visit another dimension and complete a map.
Lee Han, who received Arsil’s help, naturally completed the map faster and more accurately than any other grade.
however…
Frost Giant Artifact (check)
Frost Giant Relic (do not skip, check)
Frost Giant Relic (you really should check it out, don’t skip it)
There was a strange note on the map.
It was a note that said ‘Relics of the Frost Giants.’
A note written not just once, but over and over again!
It looked as if it had been written by someone who didn’t want to go but was forced to go.
Professor Noh looked strange and asked, recalling how the students had talked about things like ‘I found an artifact guarded by a frost giant’ or ‘How can I steal it?’
“What is this? “Is that the artifact the students were talking about last time…?”
“you’re right.”
“I told you to complete the map, but I don’t think I ever asked you to find the relic.”
Professor Millais spoke in his usual stern tone.
I wondered if the boy from the Wardanaz family had mistaken the test.
“yes. This is just my personal note. “I have to check it sometime.”
“You made a note of the location of the frost giant’s relic so you can check it for yourself?”
“yes.”
“……”
Professor Millay raised his eyebrows upward. Then he began rapidly playing with his quill.
“Is there a problem with the map?”
“The map is perfect.”
While taking notes, Professor Millay thought of Professor Lightning Walk.
Wardanaz said he seemed a little crazy these days, so I wondered what he was talking about, but after seeing this, I understood.
How can you make such a deliberate attempt to retrieve an artifact protected by a race as powerful as the Frost Giants?
If a student was too smart, I would be worried in a different way.
Professor Millais remembered something he had been thinking about when teaching Professor Garcia, so he took off his monocle for a moment and smoothed the bridge of his nose.
‘no. I think it’s worse than Garcia.’
“professor. “Then I’ll just leave.”
“Do you have any exams left today?”
Since the sun was already setting in the evening, I didn’t think there would be any lectures scheduled for exams later…
Professor Millais was puzzled by his student’s words.
“Senior Zaroon of the Steel Shoes family said that if you are confident, you can submit it early.”
“…?”
Professor Millais understood half a beat late.
Zarun of the Steel Shoes family was a fourth-year student studying under Professor Yonramo.
So, it was clear that what Lee Han was talking about was a transformation magic test.
The last thing I said was, ‘If you’re confident, you can submit it early.’
‘I’m sure they didn’t tell you to submit it really quickly?’
Professor Millais tried to point this out, but his student had already finished greeting him and was leaving the classroom.
The professor shook his head slightly and sighed.
* * *
Einroguard was beating the test at a speed that will be remembered in history, but surprisingly, few people paid attention to Lee Han’s actions.
In fact, it was difficult for non-professors to know.
From the seniors’ point of view, ‘Wardanaz is busy?’ There is no choice but to have a reaction like, ‘That must be because he studied all the schools.’
A few seniors, like Delet, who helped the professor with his work and were also interested in juniors, felt uncomfortable, but Lee Han moved too quickly to ask that.
“Yukbeltyre. “Isn’t something strange?”
“hmm.”
“It’s exam period. Is there any reason to be so busy? Am I getting the timetable wrong? “There’s no reason to go over there?”
“hmm.”
“You are listening to me right now, right?”
“hmm.”
“Can I hit you?”
“hmm.”
slap!
“?!”
Behind Yukveltyre, who was embarrassed after being hit in the back, Lee Han ran towards the next test.
The professors were wondering, ‘Is Wodanaz finally trying to test his true abilities to the limit?’ But surprisingly, Lee Han had his own difficulties.
If there are tests that you can finish first or quickly, there are also tests that you can’t.
Surprisingly, Lee Han also had a difficult test.
In this midterm exam, Professor Rosine’s test, “Languages of Empire that Become Blood and Flesh,” was exactly that.
‘What kind of text is this?’
“now! “The test is to interpret this within this week!”
“That’s too much, Professor!”
“■ ■■■■■?”
“yes?”
“I said I couldn’t hear you. ruler! “Everyone will support you!”
The test of deciphering a long document written in the script of a small kingdom whose name was unlikely to be left behind in history books was a problem that could not be solved right away, no matter how crazy Lee Han was at the top of his grade.
A test in which you have no choice but to guess one letter at a time by investing time and effort.
“Wardanaz. At the library together… Wait, where did Wardanaz go?”
“Well, well?”
Friends who were looking for Lee Han were shocked to see the senior in their grade suddenly disappear.
Of course, I thought we would be sitting in the library together.
But there was a reason why Lee Han was away.
‘It occurred to me.’
A way to overcome the test, which was bound to take a long time, came to mind.
That was to ask someone who might know this text well.
-Wodanaz!
The giant who was crouching and guarding the front of the hill saw Lee Han and jumped up.
“hello.”
-What brought you here? To see sheep?
“no. “I’m here because I have a question regarding the exam.”
When I think about it, the most accurate way to find out about ancient characters was to ask ancient people.
When Lee Han remembered that, he immediately contacted his crazy alter ego.
-Master. I have something to ask.
-What kind of magic is it?
-Can you read this document?
-…I can read it, but the content is strange. It’s an example sentence that looks like something from a test for young students…
-you’re right. This is my test. But it seems difficult, so I wanted to ask… Master? Master?
The crazy clone beyond the <Echo Stone> coldly cut off contact.
But Lee Han did not give up. Doesn’t sincerity melt even a frozen heart?
The giant was also impressed by Lee Han’s idea.
-Wardanaz is smart! People who ask questions of people they don’t know are wise!
“haha. thank you.”
-Go in!
When the giant got out of the way, Lee Han took his steps back towards the workshop.
The next person to welcome Lee Han was Chamberlain Intarendals.
“Ihan of the Wardanaz family. welcome. “What brings you here?”
“I came here because I have something to ask you, Master.”
“!”
Intarendals’ face brightened.
This student from the Wardanaz family had outstanding talent, but his passion was slightly lacking.
So the owner of Interendals was also concerned about that, but I never thought he would come visit me in person like this.
It was clear that the character and wisdom of the master served by Intarendals had influenced the disciple. Doesn’t a great teacher make a great disciple?
“Come in! “What are you curious about?”
“An ancient script came up on the test, but I didn’t know much about it, so I came here to ask. “I asked the Echo Stone, but it didn’t answer.”
“……”
Intarendals looked shocked at the question that only a lowly scribe would ask.
It’s good to come and ask questions passionately, but the level of the questions…?
“…I think you can just do this on your own. Isn’t Lee Han of the Wardanaz family capable of doing this? The sentences also look easy.”
“How can you say that? Questions have no level or severity. “If you block people from asking easy questions, wouldn’t it be difficult to ask difficult questions later?”
“Even taking that into account, it seems too easy?”
This question was so easy that even Interendals, who usually pass over it, didn’t waver.
The content of the document also contributed to that perception.
Once upon a time, there was a good student at a magic school. The good student cried because his cane was taken away. Then the good professor came out and said…
“And Gonadaltes went out for a short time.”
“You probably didn’t leave because you didn’t want to answer, right?”
“Is that possible?”
Intarendals answered the question, which was itself a Buddhist scripture, without getting angry. He was truly a caring chamberlain.
“Gonadaltes periodically checks and inspects the magic around here. I guess it’s magic…”
-The damn little bastard is here.
I could hear a voice like a hamster would make if it were forced to imitate human speech.
When Lee Han turned his gaze, a hamster trapped in a cage was glaring at him with murderous eyes.
“no. “Did you learn human language during that time?!”
-If only I could use magic, I would have definitely turned you into a hamster.
“for a moment. There is nothing wrong with me. “I didn’t do it.”
Lee Han protested, but the former magic criminal and current hamster didn’t seem to have any intention of listening to him.
Originally, the teacher’s sins were passed on to the disciple.
“I’ll give you some grapes, so ease your anger.”
-What brought you here again?
“I came here because I had something to ask.”
-Is it magic? If it’s magic, I can tell you.
The hamster spoke in a sinister voice.
Of course, he never intended to teach me proper magic. He intended to pass on the knowledge that would destroy wizards.
“oh. “Are you sure?”
-…?!
However, Lee Han’s reaction exceeded the hamster’s expectations.
“Then please interpret this for me.”
-…Once upon a time, at a magic school… What are you doing now, you damned little bastard!
