Lee Han felt a little sorry.
In fact, it was Lee Hanâs choice not to take dance classes at school.
But the headmaster of the skull is misunderstood instead.
âsorry.â
âdone.â
âI think you misunderstood because of the things you usually do.â
âIf you say youâre sorry and then say that, do you think it will sound apologetic?â
Headmaster Skeleton was dumbfounded.
The skill of turning peopleâs clothes upside down with an apology, who taught it, was unusual.
âBut what are you doing here?â
âWhat is the reason for me to meet the great nobles?â
Headmaster Skeleton put an imperial gold coin in his palm with a tired expression.
Lee Han inadvertently tried to take the gold coin. Headmaster Skeleton immediately retrieved the gold coin and looked at it as if it were absurd.
âAre you trying to take my gold coins?â
âI thought you took it out to give it to me.â
ââ¦Seeing you now, I donât think what His Majesty said was completely wrong⦠I came to get support.â
Wizards were a race that was bound to waste a lot.
There was no saving in burning precious jewels and replacing rare materials to develop a reagent.
Even so, it is the wizards who calmly say something like âI used up the box of diamonds you saved, but there is no result.
And among those wizards, Einrogard was the only place where only the best ones in the empire were gathered, so the waste was so bad that it was one of the best in the empire.
Even if the emperor supported Einrogard despite the opposition of imperial officials (the imperial treasurers shuddered at the mention of Einrogardâs name), the budget was always tight.
As such, one of the skeleton principalâs duties was to obtain additional sponsorship.
âindeed. You are suffering a lot.â
Lee Han deeply sympathized.
A professorâs job wasnât just about studying his magic and teaching his students.
Getting a budget was one of the professorâs abilities.
From that point of view, the skeleton principal was a great person.
âfor a moment. Youâre not threatening me to tear it off, right?â
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â
âitâs nothing. really. When are you going to visit my family?â
âTo the Wardanaz family?â
Headmaster Skeleton looked at Lee Han as if he had heard the most stupid thing in the world.
âThe Wardanaz family has no reason to visit. A mage who is busy experimenting with herself would give gold coins to another mage to do the experiment.â
Wizards never gave gold coins to other wizards.
It wasnât a wizard who gave way to another wizard, in case he didnât know if he used it.
âIs that so? Has Kraha been sponsored?â
âyet. It is not so easy to receive gold coins from others. I will have to visit a few more times to convince you.â
The skeleton principalâs expression was serious.
His expression was much more serious than the last time he used the great magic called the unique world.
In fact, getting the budget was also a much more difficult area than magic.
âYou seem to have a hard time convincing me.â
âOf course it is. Kraha-sama is by no means an easy-going person.â
âYou must have already told the story of Gainando⦠Any other excuses to be sponsored? Like the schedule for the second semester.â
Lee Han asked softly.
Itâs easier to prepare if you know in advance.
However, the headmaster of the skeleton did not take it lightly.
âEven if there is, I wonât tell you. And are you telling me to tell the story of your child being dragged into a punishment room?â
The skeleton headmaster looked at Lee Han suspiciously.
I wondered if he was trying to repay the grudge he had accumulated during the last semester.
âNo, itâs not like that⦠you know that. Mr Kraha. Did you know that Kainando is talented in black magic?â
âIs that true?â
Kainandoâs mother was surprised and asked again.
âIsnât that a wizard card?â
âIâm not very good at wizard cards, but Iâm good at black magic. I listen to it with me, and I can count it on my hands.â
âIn the first place, you can count the freshmen you listen to on your hand.â
Headmaster Skeleton was dumbfounded, but did not intervene.
âLord Gonadaltes. Havenât you heard of this?â
âMr Kraha. It is impossible for me to leak studentsâ secrets.â
ââ¦â¦â
This time, Lee Han looked at the skeleton headmaster as if he was dumbfounded.
â
Iâm going to review the sponsorship positively.â
âReally? Thank you very much! We just needed new corpses.â
Kainandoâs mother smiled generously and nodded.
Headmaster Skeleton looked at Lee Han with a different face.
âI am proud of you.â
ââ¦principal. I hate to brag, but Iâm the top of the class.â
âokay. senior in grade. Proud of you. But there are other families I want to visit.â
âIâm going to go learn to dance.â
Lee Han pretended not to hear and turned away.
* * *
The dance wasnât too difficult.
Gainandoâs mother was a skilled dancer, and Lee Han once risked her life to perform movements several times more difficult than these.
In fact, if Gainandoâs mother hadnât kindly taught him, he might have learned a little faster.
âItâs awkward because the attack doesnât fly when I make a mistake.â
Gainandoâs mother, not knowing what Lee Han was thinking, kindly emphasized.
âThe most important thing in dance is the beat. If you know how to feel the beat, you can somehow follow the rest of the movements. One, two, three. One two three again.â
Gainandoâs mother, who saw Lee Hanâs movements, was satisfied with the face of a master who was satisfied with his talented student.
In such a short amount of time, this was a great achievement.
âItâs a pity to lose this much talent⦠Why donât you listen to it in the second semester?â
âBecause Iâm actually taking a lot of other lectures.â
Lee Han quickly made an excuse.
Even Professor Voladi was able to admit the excuse that âIâm actually listening to all magicâ, so I could see the power of this excuse.
âIs that so? Itâs a pity.â
Gainandoâs mother did not recommend it further.
If youâre at the top of your grade, youâll do well on your own.
âI have to say at least one more word to Lord Gonadaltes when I deliver the donation.â
Gainandoâs mother still thought she should say something to the Headmaster Skeleton.
It could have been that the Headmaster Skeleton couldnât hear it.
âreally. Anything to look out for at the prom?â
Lee Han asked for advice.
The other friends were still young and lacked the experience of attending social gatherings, but Lee Han was worse than them.
In fact, I was not very interested in social gatherings in the first place.
As such, the advice given by someone like Gainandoâs mother was invaluable.
âFirst of all, itâs better not to get involved with the imperial family.â
ââ¦Uhâ¦â
Lee Han was a little taken aback.
âAre you saying donât play with Gainando?â
âI appreciate playing with Gainando, but there is a high possibility that the royal family attending the gathering will be jealous. They are tired all the time.â
Guinandoâs mother kindly gave advice, as if she had read her heart.
The purpose of the imperial family was to basically build up their achievements and raise their reputation, and let the social circles of the empire know, âI am such a great person, so please support me as the successorâ.
As such, he was very interested in the place where the new talents who entered the magic school gathered.
If you were an ambitious student, it wasnât bad to join hands with one of the members of the royal family to decide a side, but if you didnât intend to do that, it was better to avoid it.
âIf you politely decline a dance or a conversation, the other side will understand and respect Lee Han-goonâs wishes. He is also very proud of himself.â
â???â
Lee Han tilted his head.
âIsnât it?â
Even if Lee Han refused, the imperial family continued to tease.
They openly declared in front of Guyan-do that
they would âtake away Wodanazââ¦
âThatâs right. Iâll be careful. Aside from people who become annoying when you get close to them, are there people who are nice to get to know?â
âItâs generally not bad if you get to know the city nobles of Granden. I will be staying for years to come, and I will be able to help in some way.â
âah. It also helped me the other day when I was chasing the undead chimera.â
Kainandoâs mother pretended not to hear that the freshmen had chased down and captured the undead chimera.
Indeed, it was the skill of a person who had gone through all sorts of battles in the social world of the empire.
âAmong them, the ones that are especially worth knowing areâ¦â
âOh.â
Lee Han had high hopes for the summary of the key points of social life in Granden City, which Gainandoâs mother was trying to pass down.
âIn the case of Grime of the Boud family, it is good for wizards to know because they are in charge of the guildâs materials and reagentsâ¦â â
!â
Just listening to the explanation felt like hearing the sound of gold coins.
âah. for a moment. I canât.â
âyes? Why? Am I the Wardanaj family?â
Lee Han was taken aback.
I was already imagining in my head that after getting close to each other, I would work happily with my friends until the end of the vacation by receiving various jobs exclusively.
âItâs not because of the Wardanaz family. Grime has spirit blood mixed in, so there is a high possibility that he will be frightened if he talks to Lee Han-goon closely.â
ââ¦????â
Lee Han was taken aback once more.
What do you mean?
âUh⦠that⦠isnât Kraha talking to me right now?â
Lee Han expected Gainandoâs mother to answer, âI think soâ or âWell, since I was okay, Grime might be okay tooâ.
Of course, the spirits didnât like Lee Han very much, but it doesnât make sense that they didnât like the mixed spirits as well c⦠â
Iâm on the strong side, but Iâm afraid to miss him a lot, and the blood of the spirits is quite thickâ¦â â
â¦. ..â
Instead of denying it, Gainandoâs mother drove a nail into it.
Lee Han asked in a sullen voice.
âAm I that overbearing?â
âyes.â
ââ¦â¦â
âSorry. But itâs something I canât tell you back.â
Gainandoâs mother said very sorry.
Lee Han suddenly became curious and asked.
âThen, does Gainando have strong mental powers, so he doesnât feel much pressure from me?â
âItâs just that the spiritâs blood isnât expressed, so I canât feel it.â
âThatâs right.â

The huge hall located in the center of Granden City was originally one of the prides of the city, where city nobles and bureaucrats gathered for important events.
Today, however, it was being used as a place to welcome new students to the Magic School. The students who arrived one by one were amazed at the splendid exterior of the mansion.
Arriving, Lee Han saw the other top students who had arrived first and greeted them briefly. Friends who were acquainted with Lee Han greeted each other or avoided eye contact.
âWhy are you averting your gaze?â
âOh misunderstood. Wodanaz.â
If there was a minor misunderstanding between each other, they did not forget it and resolved it.
âNilia.â
Lee Han saw that his dark elf friendâs expression was not good and said as if he understood.
âYou donât want to attend the prom. I understand. I donât really want to participate either.â
âItâs not because of that.â
âNo? Then why?â
âBecause I got first place in Meikin Mansionâ¦â
â?â
Nilia sighed and took out the paper.
There are a lot of hunters who have nothing to do in the north, but I sent them to the southern coast⦠Since they can attack from a distance, they seem to be able to deal with monsters well⦠If they catch monsters well, people will be happy and political instability will decrease⦠Iâm sorryâ¦
â Why did I submit thisâ¦â
