Chapter 147

Han’s face hardened.

He immediately guessed the identity of the thief.

‘Anti-magicists!’

Like the guys who attacked Professor Garcia last time, it was clear that they used this spring festival as an opportunity to break into the school.

“be careful. Yoner! You are an anti-magicist!”

“Uh… uh huh?”

Yoner, who was also nervous, stopped when he heard Yihan’s words.

It was a little strange to say that the thief in front of him was an anti-magician.

Usually, anti-magicists were loud and noisy people who caused accidents.

I had my own convictions and pride, so I didn’t sneak in at night pretending to be a thief.

‘A hired thief?’

“Get out of the way, kids! If you don’t want to get hurt!”

The thief in front of him must have realized that Lee Han and Yoner were freshmen, and he pulled out his shortsword and tried to threaten him fiercely.

However, before the thief could pull out the shortsword, Lee Han’s spell was completed.

“Shine!”

Lightning exploded with a ferocious cry.

It was a speed that exceeded the thief’s expectations.

“Muh… kuck!!”

* * *

In fact, not all intruders entering the magic school were anti-magicians.

Rather, anti-magicists belonged to the most difficult intruders to enter magic schools.

As these guys are going to cause big trouble when they come in, the magic academy is managing them as strictly as possible.

Surprisingly, the most common types of intruders entering the magic school were mercenaries and adventurers.

The Empire’s Magic School is not just a place of education, but a place where the best wizards in the Empire gather to study magic.

The things studied in it, no matter how insignificant and unsuccessful, increased in value dozens or hundreds of times when taken out.

Among the wizards outside, there were many who would buy it even with a thousand gold if they heard that it was something they were researching at magic school.

The thief who came in today was such a case.

– Thanks to the Spring Festival, they say that Ein Lorgard is accepting outsiders.

-no way?

-okay. Let’s go in and get something worthwhile and come out.

-But… It’s scary to get involved with high-ranking wizards…

-Of course, I know that there are many monsters among wizards. But there aren’t that many of them. Would those guys step in and sneak in among the customers to steal one? I wouldn’t even care. how many people You don’t have to listen. but not noticed

– Mmm! Certainly…

-There is no one who can follow you when you rob an enchanted building. Who was that mercenary wizard last time? I took the magic that the nobleman put on me and went in.

– It’s not like that.

I must have experience dealing with wizards, and I must be greedy.

That’s how the thief forged his identity and entered Einrogard.

Because of the Spring Festival, it wasn’t too difficult to get into the magic academy. It was possible to pass if there was a suitable justification.

By the way…

-Wasn’t this the main building??

– There must be a main building?

The thieves underestimated the magic school too much.

The mercenary wizards of the 1st and 2nd circles, whom you can usually meet outside, and the wizards of the magic school were on a different level.

The unprepared thieves couldn’t even find the proper location because they were hit by the magic school’s defensive magic and fantasy magic.

The thieves who kept wandering around like that were barely able to find a building.

-Find… Found!

-It’s a stable…?

-It’s a magic school stable! There will be many rare ones!

-That’s right!

The thieves found a stable in a remote location and hurriedly opened the door and went inside.

However, the only things visible in the stable were ordinary horses.

-Damn it! There are only words!

– Shall we take a horse?

-What nonsense… Do you think you came here to fetch a horse? And how are you going to take the horse out? It’s hard to take it out unless you’re a small guy!

There was a griffon in front of their eyes, but unfortunately the thieves didn’t notice it.

Sadly, the thieves’ bad luck didn’t end there.

As he opened the door of the stable and came out, he even ran into a freshman.

“……”

“…not Ratford…! Yoner! A thief!”

The thief was very upset when he saw the screaming student, but soon regained his composure.

There were no people around, and the other person looked like a freshman. That was enough to subdue and get out.

“be careful. Yoner! You are an anti-magicist!”

“!?”

The thief was taken aback by the absurd misunderstanding.

You’re an anti-magician.

It was an absurd misunderstanding.

I just came in to get some money…

‘Damn this is not the time!’

The thief realized he couldn’t waste his time. Just in case, someone else could have heard the sound and come.

“Get out of the way, kids! If you don’t want to get hurt!”

The thief tried to pull out a sharpened shortsword.

Of course, I had no intention of hurting the students.

Because stealing an item or two from a magic school and hurting a student are on a different level.

It was unacceptable to come in to make some money and then be pursued for the rest of my life by the monsters of the magic school.

…But the thief didn’t know.

That the freshman in front of him is also one of the formidable monsters of the magic school.

“Shine!”

The flash of lightning and the muscle-bearing pain set the thief’s brain on fire.

‘Ouch…?!’

Aside from the pain, the thief couldn’t understand the current situation.

As he had dealt with wizards outside a few times, the thief knew how long it would take for wizards to memorize spells and cast spells.

In fact, magic was surprisingly difficult to use in combat.

You have to remain focused and unwavering while chanting long spells and swinging your staff.

There were not many people who could do that on the battlefield where lively shouts and weapons flew around.

Even more so, the opponent was a freshman.

Even mercenary wizards take quite a bit of time to memorize spells without making mistakes, but if you are a kid at a magic school who has just learned magic, it must take longer…?

“Haaaaaagh!”

“Shine, shine, shine!”

‘stop!!’

The thief convulsed on the floor and cried out inwardly.

Because of the electric shock, my throat stopped hearing. If he hadn’t come wearing magic-resistant armor, he would have passed out long ago.

In pain, the thief realized that he had underestimated the magic school.

‘This is no joke…!’

I didn’t know what the hell they were taught, but the new students at the magic school were on a different level.

The thief made up his mind that if he got out alive, he would avoid wizards from magic schools just by looking at their shadows.

‘Help me too, son of a bitch…’

The thief thought to himself when he saw his colleague still in the stable.

The colleague who came in together was frozen by the one-sided violence taking place outside the stable and did not dare to come out.

I understood my heart, but in a situation where I was being burned by lightning, I cursed.

‘Help… and…! If I’m overpowered… it’s your turn next…!’

In the meantime, Lee Han threw lightning and floated water beads.

Fortunately, he had the upper hand, but Lee Han never let his guard down.

For an anti-magicist, that could have been a trick.

“Yoner. stand back.”

“Uh… Huh? Do you think you are overpowered?”

Yoner wasn’t a combat expert, but he could tell that his opponent was chewing on crab foam.

“no. It could be the trick of the anti-magicists.”

“That… is it?”

Yoner stepped back as Lee Han said.

It seemed that the other person had bubbled up, but Lee Han wasn’t the one who said something wrong in this area again…

Swish!

Water beads flew and hit the fallen thief. It was rather fortunate that the thief had lost consciousness.

“…Looks like you knocked it down.”

‘Actually, I think I collapsed earlier.’

Lee Han did not let his guard down even when his opponent was knocked down.

I applied various magics and floated more water beads.

Anti-magicists don’t usually go alone. It wasn’t strange to have his companions nearby.

“Light!”

Lee Han shot a huge sphere of light up into the sky.

If it was a sphere of light this bright, other professors would come running to it.

“The professors will be coming soon. You just have to hold on until then.”

“Yes…”

Yoner glanced at the fallen thief. Looking at the level of the fallen thief, it was a

bit

puzzling who had to hold out until the professor came

…

Lee Han looked away. The door slowly opened with a creak inside the stable.

Lee Han aimed his cane.

The moment the enemy came out, he planned to blow away all the prepared magic.

“Live… please save me!”

But what came out was a thief covered in tears and snot.

The thief, who saw his colleague being beaten with magic in the stable, was completely terrified. He raised his arms and cried earnestly.

“I am not an anti-magicist! I am not an anti-magicist!! Please spare my life…”

“Spark!”

“Cheak!”

Lee Han swung his staff without mercy. The thief, struck by lightning, fell forward.

Seeing this, Lee Han murmured softly.

“Um… maybe not a real anti-magicist.”

“……”

‘I’m glad we’re top friends, really.’

* * *

The first to fly was the headmaster skeleton.

One of Richie’s strengths was his lack of sleep at night. Upon receiving the report of the commotion, the Headmaster Skeleton ran excitedly to see if anyone had attempted to escape.

What is it… He’s a thief.

Headmaster Skeleton said with disappointed eyes as soon as he arrived.

Lee Han asked in a surprised voice.

“Aren’t they anti-magicists?”

Did you know they were them? They don’t come in that easily. And not that weak.

Headmaster Skeleton looked over the thieves with his horse.

It was said to be weak, but the thieves’ equipment was quite advanced. There were signs of preparation for the anti-mage.

It was clear that he probably had experience entering other wizards’ workshops or bases.

It was his experience and arrogance that caused this anger…

From the skull principal’s point of view, Lee Han really subdued the thieves. He probably thought the anti-magicists were camouflaged, so he continued to be a fan.

‘It’s more because of the anti-magicists.’

“So you’re saying you just came in to steal?”

Rather, there are more of them. There are so many valuable things in this school, how can there not be such a thief.

“By the way, can we hold a festival like this?”

Headmaster Skeleton snorted at Lee Han’s question.

Not being able to hold a festival because you’re afraid of thieves is something that hurts your pride as a wizard.

“I see…”

I understood.

If the best magic school in the empire were careful about their actions out of fear of a mere thief, that would be ridiculous.

And sometimes, if you make an excuse that you heard a thief, you can get more budget…

“……”

“……”

Lee Han and Yoner pretended not to hear.

I never thought I would hear the secret story of the magic school’s operation here…

Anyway, well done. How do you catch thieves? I’ll deal with these thieves.

“Come to think of it, can I get a ticket to go out as a reward?”

After catching these nonsense junkies who aren’t even anti-magicists? You’re not even a lich, don’t you have a conscience?

“……”

I’ll think about it if I catch a more worthy guy.

“No matter how much you caught a thief like this, you didn’t give me any reward.”

Yoner questioned as if it were nonsense.

Unlike Lee Han, Yoner still had very little faith in and expectations for the Headmaster Skeleton.

That’s right too. good night! I’ll think of something suitable.

When the skeleton headmaster spoke plainly, Lee Han became uneasy for no reason.

Why are you so anxious when you are receiving a well-deserved reward?

really. It’s not just that thief who entered, so I’ll have the students stand guard too.

Headmaster Skeleton said as if he had a good idea.

Lee Han did not understand.

“Aren’t there the principal’s summons?”

Oops. But the undead also need to rest.
