A student who received such an evaluation from the first year was rare even at a magic school.
Magic school was more free than I thought.
Even if a student left in the middle of the school year to inherit his family or engaged in a different field without using the magic he had learned, he did not say anything.
As such, evaluations such as âkey talent in charge of the magic schoolâ were truly enormous.
A talent who will remain at the magic school after graduation and pioneer the unknown science of magic with the best brains in the empire!
There was no such honorable evaluation for a wizard.
If Professor Rosine had heard such an evaluation, she would have remained a wizard rather than a bureaucrat.
âYou must remember this moment well. I might be seeing with my own eyes the young moments of the future great wizard.â
Unlike Professor Alpen Knighton, who was from an imperial high official and had a sense of mission to raise students to become wizards, Professor Rosine, who was called in hastily, had no such sense of mission.
I received gold coins, so I just work as much as I can!
Of course, like other professors, I had no intention of pushing my students to the limit.
If the students later succeed in life, they might meet again, so why would they do such a thing?
Incurring resentment for nothing was something a fool would do.
Teaches hard, encourages hard, counsels on various concernsâ¦
I thought it would be worth it if students came later and said something like âI was grateful at that time, professorâ.
Of course, the Wardanaj family boy, who perfectly pointed out the wrongness of the contract right in front of his eyes, seemed unlikely.
He was doing very well on his own.
âI can see why I get a lot of compliments.â
When the other students stopped at the level of stuttering, Lee Han read without interruption with his eyes burning.
I could see the passion in that look.
A passion for learning and inquiry, not just talent or cleverness.
Isnât the one who enjoys always the strongest?
It was clear that the boy really liked studying.
âGood job. Applause everyone!â
Receiving applause, Lee Han felt proud.
It was the first time I felt so strongly about the worth of studying after entering school.
âAfter making a little impression like this, Iâll see the opportunity and give you a consultation. What should I do to become a bureaucrat?â
âIf I force myself to talk to Wodanaj, I could be misunderstood by other professors, so I have to be careful.â
The magic school was free, but even the professors were not generous.
He was especially sensitive to former imperial officials.
â How dare you have an auditor in my workshopâ¦?
-No, since you received His Majestyâs gold coins, of course you came to check how you are using them!
â You must be trying to seduce my student into an official position again, right? Absolutely unacceptable!
-You only did that once 22 years ago, right? And the student had the will to serve in the first place!
â Shut up! You slave of this corrupted gold. Do not set foot on the tower of pure magic!
The moment the professor took one of his favorite students to a government post, the official became an enemy not only to the professor but also to all the wizards he was friendly with.
A lifetime too!
It was so dirty and despicable that even the officials did not bother to take the professorâs beloved student with them.
Rosieâs professor, who hates causing trouble, naturally thought so.
Even taking one disciple would cause chaos, but if you take a talented person who is expected by the entire magic schoolâ¦
âIt would never have happened in the first place!â
Why would a boy who likes learning so much be interested in a government job?
The other professors at the magic school didnât have to worry at all.

âLee Han. It looks good.â
âSee?â
friday.
Students gathered for a swordsmanship lecture.
Durgyu realized that Lee Hanâs facial expression was softer than usual.
It was soon the weekend, but the expressions of the other students were dark.
It was because of the continuing cold.
Right now, Durgyu also felt like his stomach skin was sticking to his back and he was cold to the boneâ¦
âI know why.â
Angrago, who was passing by, spoke instead.
âwhat?â
Lee Han intended to hit Angrago once if he said nonsense, saying, âBecause Lee Han will come out to solve this cold soon.â
Whether it felt good or not, that was unforgivable.
âAre you looking forward to a snowball fight?â
ââ¦what?â
âStaring contest.â
Anrago pointed back.
Along with Professor Ingeldell, the White Tiger Tower students were holding snowballs in their hands.
ââ¦professor. Do you have a lecture today?â
âyes. Itâs a snowball fight.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
What snowball fight?
But Professor Ingeldell was serious.
âWhen fighting, itâs important to know how to deal with thrown weapons from a distance. Especially in many-to-many fights.â
âI seeâ¦â
Lee Han agreed.
That was definitely right. Because the attack on the battlefield didnât come honestly in front of my eyes.
What was more dangerous than the knight in front was a stone flying from a blind spot.
Of course, when I saw the White Tiger Tower students throwing snowballs at each other, I thought, âDonât they just like snowball fights?â But⦠âWait a
minute.â
Lee Han felt a disturbing atmosphere.
The students of the White Tiger Tower were whispering and staring at Lee Han with snowballs.
The intention was very obvious.
âThese bastardsâ¦â
Lee Han immediately pulled out his cane.
If the water beads are also frozen and blown away, there wonât be much difference from the snowballs.
âfor a moment. Wodanaz. Donât use magic. If you use magic, it will be too easy.â
âNo⦠Professor. Iâm not that good at magic.â
As in the last midterm exam, Lee Han, who was banned from magic again, appealed with an unfair expression as much as possible.
Professor Ingeldell, however, did not go beyond one bit.
The students of the White Tiger Tower in the back glared at him in a way that was absurd.
âWardanaz If youâre not good at magic, are we slugs?â
âDid that bastard think that such a lie would work?â
âIt doesnât work though. Since this is a swordsmanship lesson, please learn how to fight without relying on magic.â
âyes. All right.â
Lee Han agreed at first, but his heart was different.
âThe moment the professor doesnât see it, Iâll smash it.â
Professor Voladi didnât emphasize the importance of speed in magic combat for nothing.
It was clear that he taught me to lose quickly at times like this.
âreally. And I brought gifts for the students.â
âyes?â
At Professor Ingeldellâs words, the students tilted their heads.
what gift?
-â â â â â¦
A ferocious reinforced pig that I met in Professor Thunderwalkâs alchemy lecture.
The pig was tied to a tree.
âIâll give it as a present to the students who won the snowball fight today.â
âPersimmon⦠Thank you.â
Objectively, the pig was a good gift in the current situation.
Because there was nowhere to throw the pig.
There were many places to use pork fat as well as meat when it was cold.
âBy the way, where did you get that from?â
âYeah. Please take good care of me.â
Gisele Moradi, a student at the White Tiger Tower with golden hair, looked at Lee Han with one corner of her mouth raised.
It was a very unpleasant smile that I could feel inside.
Itâs a chance to legally blow snowballs at Lee Hanâs face, so how can we be happy?
âprofessor. Moradi is concocting with his friends and trying to bully me.â
Lee Han responded immediately.
Taken by surprise, Giselle looked at Lee Han with a shocked expression.
âì ë° ê°ìë¼ê°â¦â
ê¸°ì¬ ê°ë¬¸ ì¶ì ë¤ì´ì¼ ìì¡´ì¬ ë문ì ê³ ìì§ì 못íë¤ì§ë§ ì´íì 1ì´ë ë§ì¤ì´ì§ ìê³ ê³ ìì§ì í ì ììë ê²ì´ë¤.
âThere must have been some misunderstanding.â
âno. professor.â
âBecause itâs a misunderstanding.â
â??â
Lee Han was puzzled when Professor Ingeldell did not waver.
what?
Professor Ingeldell was not a tight-fisted stubborn man. A person like that wouldnât listen to me at all.
â¦Could it be that Lee Hanâs tricks were caught?
âLee Han.â
Durgyu from the side said in a low voice.
âWhy are you calling me?â
âYou, Moradi and I⦠are a team.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Both Lee Han and Giselle looked at each other with shocked expressions.
It wasâ¦!
* * *
Doo doo doo doo doo!
âDoes Moradi have any friends?â
Lee Han asked in a puzzled way at the baptism of snowballs flying like madmen.
Right now, Lee Han and Gisele Durgyu were running hard.
No matter how much the three of them were the best masters in the lecture, there was no answer to the quantity.
All the students except three united and threw snowballs, but they couldnât respond head-on. The three of them were retreating.
âItâs not that Moradi doesnât have friends. Han Lee. Since the three of us are strong candidates for the championship, everyone wants to check us firstâ¦â
âChoi. Please donât answer all that bullshit.â
Giselle shot sharply.
I was going to just ignore it, but because of Durgyu!
Papa papa papa!
âRight. It flew so much that I did it just in case.â
âArenât you even thinking about the grudge youâve accumulated?â
âHonestly, isnât it time to forget? what do you think about it? Durgyu?â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Giselle and Durgyu were silent.
It wasnât that I didnât understand it, and I didnât have anything to say.
âI think the kids have been beaten too many times to be forgottenâ¦â
âWodhanaz die!â
It seemed that the three of them had attempted an ambush by taking a detour around the hill they were climbing.
Students came out from behind the trees.
Lee Han skillfully avoided the snowball and threw the snow he was holding.
puck!
âfor a moment. Durgyu. Wouldnât it be over if I hit one of these?â
Lee Han hesitated at the sight of the student who did not give up even after being hit and started raking his eyes again.
âItâs not? Until he declares surrender.â
ââ¦â¦â
It was a more primitive and ignorant rule than I thought.
âRather than that, it would be too disadvantageous.â
I wonder if I could hit just one, but if I hit it like this and it didnât end, three were at a disadvantage.
A white tiger tower student hiding behind a tree shouted.
âWardanaz!!â
âI am listening.â
âI will definitely defeat you today!â
âItâs not necessarily todayâs opportunity, but should I?â
âIf I miss today, there is no chance!â
âThat bastard ordered all the disgrace of the White Tiger Tower.â
Giselle thought to herself.
Of course, Giselle also thought it would be difficult to win unless Lee Han sealed the magic like today, but spitting it out was another thing.
âShall we just surrender?â
âah. no. Thatâs a bit⦠Lee Han. Iâll have to try some more though.â
âEveryone is aiming at us, but it seems like a loss if we recklessly hold out.â
I heard a sneaky footstep behind me. Lee Han leaned over the rock and threw his eyes at him.
Fuck!
The student at the White Tiger Tower, who was approaching, fell straight. Lee Han threw the other snowball he made without stopping.
âevil! surrender! surrender! Wodanaz! It really hurts!â
âwhat? How many didnât fit Thank you anyway.â
âYou put stones in it!!â
âItâs not.â
Lee Han split the snowball he was holding. There were really no such things as stones.
A trick like putting a pebble in was a foul that was too easy to get caught.
The white tiger tower student with a flushed face tilted his head.
âwhat? It really hurts?â
It felt like a hard weight rather than a soft snowball.
âYou really didnât put stones in it, did you? Be honest.â
Giselle whispered softly in disbelief. The opponent surrendered too easily for not putting stones in it.
âBecause I didnât. A trick I could easily get caught withâ¦â
Shh!
Lee Han once again threw a snowball at the approaching student. He unconsciously used magic as there was a distance.
The experience of throwing marbles at Professor Voladi with all his might was a very beneficial experience.
That experience remained in his body and helped him to use magic.
Awesome-
ââ¦?â
Lee Han clearly felt it at that moment.
The snowball that was about to fly away was solidly frozen in the palm of my hand!
