Normally, Lee Han would have noticed the crisis right away, but he had lifted the artifact curse during the day and cast strengthening and healing magic on countless people in the evening, so his mind was dulled.
Thatâs why I realized it a step later than Nilia.
ââ¦Could it be from Ein Lorgard?!â
âI guess that would be the case with me.â
Nilia muttered incredulously.
A person of this level canât immediately notice something that he would notice.
âno. Maybe itâs because I use too much magic.â
Nylia looked at her friend with sudden concern. Lee Han whispered as if he felt Niliaâs gaze.
âDonât worry. Even if the professor drags you away, your name wonât be called out.â
ââ¦I didnât even worry about that! You bastard!!â
What do you see people as?
* * *
The dark elf professor with the most tired face in the world nodded his head while supporting his body with his sword.
Because he looked the most tired in the world, the adventurers didnât even dare to talk to him.
âprofessor. I finished.â
âprofessor. This one is over too.â
âprofessor. This one tooâ¦â
Professor Arkassis nodded.
âWe solved it by ourselves this time!â
âIf you came out of that level of first aid, of course you guys should solve it yourself. If you called me, you guys are just bastards of thieves.â
ââ¦â¦â
The disciples were moved by the kind teacherâs warm encouragement.
Thatâs right, butâ¦!
âruler. so. Have I gone crazy from overwork and lack of sleep? Or are the adventurers talking nonsense? Or is that what Iâm thinking right?â
ââ¦â¦â
The disciples shut their mouths.
To be honest, they were confused too.
-Iâm coming up after being healed, but are the priests going down?
â One wizard is down!
â One? one person??
-yes!
â One person treated this person like this??
-yes!
-Arenât you delirious, this adventurer?
-â¦dare! Even a healing mage wonât stand still if you insult Wardanaj!
âThe Wodanaz we know is⦠only a first grader⦠isnât that⦠a misunderstanding?â
âyouâre right.â
Phil and Chil came up with an excuse for Lee Han.
And honestly, I couldnât believe it.
No matter how outstanding juniors are, to send all of these people alive and send them up.
It wasnât even with the help of others.
Securing the passage to the dungeon, applying strengthening magic to the adventurers, and healing magic while doing all of this?
Rather, it seemed more likely that another mage from the Wodanaz family had just passed by, saw the devastation by chance, and helped.
âAs far as I know, the other members of the Wodanaj family donât help out for that reason.â
âThen, as expected, the adventurers were mistakenâ¦?â
Before he could finish talking, a familiar freshman came up with a tired expression along with the adventurers.
The junior looked around at the healing mages and sighed with a resigned expression.
Knowing what that figure meant, Phil and Chil sighed equally.
âI should have done wellâ¦!â
Before the juniors could even escape, the recovered knights surrounded Lee Han.
Knight Berhirg shouted on behalf of the knights of the punitive force.
âHere is an honorable wizard. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Lee Han, the wizard of the Wardanaz family!â
âthank you. Han Lee!â
âthank you!!â
The fallen knights shouted as if squeezing their throats.
It was a rare sight to see noble and proud knights giving thanks like this. Excited adventurers stamped their feet and blew whistles.
âWithout Lee Han, we would not have been able to save lives. Thank you again for that amazing magicâ¦â
While the knights were talking, the adventurers talked separately from behind.
âI managed to bring everyone out without missing a single one.â
âI thought this was magic. Didnât I admire the wizard who shot the fire arrows the other day? I donât think that will ever happen in the future.â
âBy the way, why is Mage-samaâs expression dark?â
âTsk tsk. Would the wizard be someone like you? It must be uncomfortable to be praised while there are so many injured people.â
âAnd indeed. You really are on a different levelâ¦â
* * *
If there is a difference between Professor Verdus and Professor Alkasis, it is that faking it works in front of Professor Verdus, but not in front of Professor Alkasis.
The moment he said he was sick, Professor Alcasis had the ability to recover right away.
âIt was very impressive.â
âthank you.â
Lee Han sat tied to a chair in front of Professor Alkasis with a tired face.
It seemed a little tied up, but it was because of my mood. There was no rope to be seen anywhere.
The students who followed Professor Alkasis together, that is, the seniors of Lee Han, were divided into halves and were discussing hotly.
The topic of discussion was Lee Hanâs disposition.
-If you have that level of skills, you can really take them with you from the second semester! No, you should take it with you! I vomited several times yesterday as well because of lack of magical power! That one junior takes care of dozens of wounded!
-You scum without conscience! Are you still a noble! No matter how much it is, do you think about taking a freshman junior from the second semester? Do you want to see your juniors wither away?
âThere was a lot of talk about getting you involved in the field from the second semester.â
âprofessor. I hate perks.â
Lee Han said seriously.
âIf itâs a burden on the professor, Iâm fineâ¦â â
But if you saw todayâs work, the people who said that would want to pull out their tongues.â
âI donât think itâs that much.â
âYou have a genius talent for healing magic.â
âYes⦠Iâve been vaguely thinking that it might be.â
âThere is no need to let that talent rot over time. take my hand I will let your talent bloom.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han became quite curious about what would happen if he held the professorâs hand.
Specifically, I wondered if I would become like the seniors over there.
Why are those seniors with the professor during vacation?
âI went to the mansion and thought deeplyâ¦â
ââ¦There is no need to do it. Itâs a talent you donât need.â
âCome to think of it, I have something to talk about with the priestsâ¦â
âI will send the disciples to wait for a while.â
âCome to think of it, I had something to say to the hunters.â
The professorâs students built a human wall to keep the hunters away.
The two hunters were at a loss for words at the absurd interruption of the healing mages.
What the hell is this�
âWhat is this doing?â
âSorry. We do it too.â
Han Lee pondered over whether he should break through the professorâs pressure and make a head-on breakthrough.
Iâm already going to be torn off by the professor in the second semester anyway, so do I have to go on vacation?
âItâs better to keep the vacation even if I get a bit retaliated during the second semester.â
Lee Han looked at the swords that Professor Alkasis was wearing and made up his mind.
No matter how strong he is, Lee Han is also someone who has been trained rigorously.
I wonât back down easily.
âitâs over?â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han turned his head at the familiar voice of another professor.
I was waiting with a yawn to find out when Professor Verdus had arrived.
âWhen⦠did you come?â
âThe church went to check the dungeon, so I came after the event.â
Professor Verdus seemed to have no interest in the mess that was taking place near the dungeon.
Even though the wounded were lying in bandages, not a single look in their eyes changed.
âDid any artifacts come out of the dungeon?â
âAs far as I know, none.â
âokay? Thatâs it. letâs go. I have to work.â
Professor Verdus led Lee Han to the carriage as naturally as water flowed, and left.
Everyone else was at a loss for words and just stared at their backs.
âReallyâ¦â
âAre you crazy???â
The students of Einrogard, who majored in healing magic, couldnât help but shudder at the sight of Professor Verdus.
Professor Alkasis didnât seem to be at that level either.
The hunters were bewildered and asked Nilia.
âNo⦠shouldnât we rest? Didnât you just say it was work?â
âSwing. You are a bit peculiar.â
âAnyway, youâre too good.â
âtherefore!â
Nilia cried inwardly.
Even the priests of the Pricinga Church were whispering.
* * *
Lee Han returned to the mansion and collapsed after working with Professor Verdus.
Then I slept for close to a day.
ââ¦I think I slept in the morning, but why is it still morning??â
âYou slept all day.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han looked out the window with a confused face.
Professor Verdus was struggling on the rug.
âI have to pretend I didnât see it.â
âBy the way, Bocchan⦠another guest has arrived.â
For a moment, Lee Han pondered over whether he should put âno guestsâ in front of the mansion.
At this point, I couldnât tell if it was a guest or a hand-off.
âAre you a professor?â
âno.â
âAre you friends?â
âno.â
âYou look like a crazy person⦠no. Then I would have called you a professor. Who is it?â
âThis is Prince Bogajun.â
âah. Thatâ¦â
He was one of the members of the royal family who saved his life thanks to Lee Han defeating the basilisk during the last royal family gathering.
I think I said a lot of things, but what I remember isâ¦
âDid you say that you failed while trying to solve the plague case in Kldran Village?â
The imperial family criticized each other so lively that the only thing that remained in my memory was criticism of each other.
âLee Han from the Wardanaz family! I heard the rumor!â
âYou mean the one that caught the basilisk?â
Lee Han gave up halfway and asked.
Even if it was an accident, wouldnât people listen to it as they liked?
âoh. I didnât tell you the rumor.â
âIs it to subdue the king of ghouls?â
âHave you subdued the king of ghouls? Please tell me the story in detail.â
âDamn it.â
Lee Han was furious with Granden City.
Why should rumors spread so much that the person speaking should worry?
âThen what kind of rumorsâ¦â
âI heard that you saved the knights of the Hongryeon Forest subjugation party! I was really impressed.â
ââ¦â¦â
âThere are many wizards in the empire, and there are excellent wizards among them, but they ran down dungeons and risked their lives for the woundedâ¦â âI did not risk my
life. It was a small dungeon where all the escorts were taken and the monsters were almost wiped out.â
Prince Bo Ga-jun was so drunk with himself that he couldnât hear Lee Hanâs words.
ââ¦How many people can you save? Lord Lagrinde was also highly praised. He said he has the qualities to excel as a healing mage.â
Lee Han smiled bitterly.
I wanted to say to the prince, âItâs not a compliment to say that a pig on the farm has grown fatâ, but I couldnât even understand it.
Lee Han managed to control his emotions and smiled pretentiously. And he opened his mouth.
âItâs just embarrassing to have such an excessive reputation attached to something that happened to get me involved.â
âWhat do you mean⦠Fame is a reflection of the soul. Fame comes from having such a vessel of soul.â
Prince Bo Ga-jun looked at Lee Han with deep, mellow eyes and said.
âMrs. Wardanaz. I have a suggestion.â
âTell me.â
âI have to refuse unconditionally.â
âI have a meeting this time with meâ¦â
Knock-tock-
The servant carefully opened the door and came in.
âsorry. Bocchan, another guest has come.â
âWho is it?â
âYou are the Prince of Cainando.â
At the servantâs words, Bo Ga-jun made a deeply shocked expression.
âalsoâ¦!â
Ever since I saw her hiding her toenails in the mansion the other day, I thought it was suspicious, but it was as expected.
