Like it or not Lee Han gave Anpagon a look of respect.
âIsnât the basics always the most important?â
âI think this is basic and has nothing to do with itâ¦â
While Anpagon muttered, Lee Han fixed the magic circle again.
When I added back the parts that were removed because they were inefficient and completed the pattern, it became a fragile artifact.
âHow is it?â
âGreat. You may continue.â
The two students resumed their work.
Anpagon saw Lee Hanâs speed and changed the estimated work time.
âIt might end before nightfall.â
If I didnât have to stay up all night, I could resume work on the magic amplification wheel artifact at dawn. Anpagonâs face brightened.
Bang-dang-dang-dang-
âArenât you resting?â
âyes? ah. Itâs okay as long as you have enough horsepower.â
âokay.â
Anpagon was trying to tell his junior to take a break, but he stopped just sleeping because he didnât want to interfere.
But I couldnât help but worry.
âItâs dangerous if I consume too much mana.â
Ground, ground, ground, ground!
ââ¦?â
However, the junior took the artifact with tireless stamina.
Anpagon was amazed. And I changed the estimated working time one more time.
ââ¦Maybe it ends in the evening?â
If it was done in the evening, I might stop by the Black Turtle Tower student cafeteria for a quick meal before working on the magic amplification wheel artifact.
âSeniors.â
âAre you going to rest now?â
âno. I have used up all the ingredients here, but where is the new chest?â
ââ¦â¦â
Because of the eventful environment of Einrogard, Anpagonâs rusty heart started pounding slightly.
No wayâ¦
Can it be over before dinner?
* * *
Really over before dinner.
Beyond joy, Anpagon had an expression that still did not believe in this reality.
âLooks like itâs done. Seniors. Then letâs go.â
âThatâs right.â
âBy the way, senior.â
It ended sooner than expected, so Lee Han, who had some time to spare, asked a question.
âArenât there any other people learning enchantment magic? Why only seniors?â
âI am the most sociable person.â
ââ¦â¦â
For a moment, Lee Han thought the senior was joking and thought for a moment whether he should laugh or not.
ââ¦that⦠thatâs right.â
âIt doesnât matter if you laugh. Because our school is the least sociable in Einrogard.â
âWhat kind of social activities do you need? Magic is important to wizards.â
âIsnât the important thing for a wizard is the ability to win subsidies?â
âWhich fool would say such a thing?â
âThe principal?â
âI knew it. Never mind.â
Lee Han responded right away without panicking.
Even though he was a freshman, Anpagon couldnât help but marvel at the wisdom that penetrated the skull headmasterâs identity.
Anyone who sees it would think it was around 4th grade.
âWell, ignoring is the bestâ¦â
âYes. Then letâs go.â
After greeting Lee Han, he left with two chests in the attic. It was a chest containing reagents that Anpagon did not use.
It was a rare sight for a freshman junior to pack two chests sparingly, but Anpagon was so shocked by what happened today that he didnât even pay attention to that part.
ââ¦Did I dreamâ¦â
Anpagon murmured while the attic door opened again.
Other students majoring in endowment magic were waiting below.
âAre you done?â
âokay. It ended early.â
Students came up to the attic.
There were 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders, but the one thing they all had in common was that they didnât really care about each other.
If the spirit flood hadnât happened this time, I wouldnât have borrowed another studentâs workshop.
âWhy did it end earlyâ¦â
âIâm not curious.â
âsorry. Anpagon senior. May I go to work right away?â
ââ¦â¦â
Anpagon stopped talking.
I donât usually like chatting, but when I was blocked like this, an unfamiliar feeling rose slightly in my heart.
It was anger.
ââ¦okay.â
Instead of talking, Anpagon thought he should find out for himself.
It was exhilarating to think that he alone knew an amazing fact that other students did not know.
ââ¦for a moment!! fire!!!â
Anpagon, who was about to sit down, screamed when he saw the sphere of light still floating.
Then the other students stared at Anpagon.
âAnpagon senior. Iâm sorryâ¦â
âLetâs be quiet.â
ââ¦okay.â
Anpagon vowed never to tell these guys.
* * *
âMr. Professor Verdus, where have you been?â
because youâre stuck
Headmaster Skeleton replied back to Gainando as if it was a nuisance.
Guinando nodded in agreement, then went back and asked the skeleton headmaster again.
âprincipal. Professor Verdus, where have you been?â
Because youâre trapped! You iron head Why do you keep asking the same question? Are you provoking me?
âOh no. It just makes me feel good to keep hearing that the professor is locked up.â
â¦â¦
Skeleton Principal hung Guinando upside down and walked away.
After returning from work, Lee Han asked while looking at the hanging Guinando.
âBut you donât even listen to enchantment magic, do you?â
âI just love hearing that the professor is locked upâ¦â
âThatâs right.â
Lee Han dropped the dangling Guinando. Gainando, who fell to the surface of the water, let out a pained sound.
âAnd Professor Verdus keeps coming over during vacations to annoy people.â
Lee Han sympathized with Gainandoâs grunting voice after a long time.
âHeâs saying the right thing after a long time.â
Considering that he visited during vacation, Professor Verdus could have been locked up a little longer.
âWhere have you been? omg. for a moment. I think I know.â
âOhâ¦â
Lee Han slightly expected Gainando to show his sharp appearance.
Certainly, looking at Lee Hanâs appearance now, there were many factors to infer.
Gloves stained with various reagents and metal shavings on the cloak, etc.
Anyone could see that he had been working on artifacts.
âDid you go to rescue Professor Verdus?! hey. donât go! What are you doing to get it!â
ââ¦I didnât go. I just prepared for the endowment magic midterm exam instead. The professor isnât there.â
âah. okay?â
Kainando just agreed.
If itâs other friends, âHey you idiot, what if I just skip it! I should ask more!â
âDonât save Professor Verdus. Thereâs nothing good about saving him.â
âYouâre doing this because of the one thing you came to the mansion for during vacation, right?â
âhuh.â
Kainando nodded confidently without the slightest shame. Lee Han was a little amazed.
âokay. Donât worry, I donât intend to go get it.â
âEven if Professor Verdus says he will give you a pile of gold, donât go.â
ââ¦umm.â
âLee Hanâ¦!â
Gainando felt sorry for his friend who tried to forgive the professor who took away the joy of vacation with gold.
Pride is more important than gold!
Kiik-
The two of them returned to the library and scattered to do their own thing.
Gainando quietly sat down among his friends.
It looked like a study meeting with thick magic books spread out, but in fact it was a fun meeting where they secretly played card games under it.
âWhere have you been?â
âI went fishing and hung up on the principal.â
âOops.â
The other tower students were not interested in whether or not Kainando was hanging on.
one of them asked, puzzled.
âHow did you get released?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLee Han passed by and let me go.â
âDonât you know how to do anything yourself?â
âhey. Isnât it more amazing to have someone by your side to do it for you?â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The Blue Dragon Tower students next to them threw their cards in Guyandoâs face. Gainando let out a shrill scream.
âThatâs great! Thatâs greatâ¦â
âStop it before you get hit.â
âWhy did Wardanaz pass by?â
âIâve been preparing for the grant magic test.â
Gainando gave a rough answer and stared at the deck.
The deck had to be completed quickly to get as many rounds as possible before dinner was served.
The moment I take out the cursed deck, my friends wonât play against me, so I put a deck that can be fooled and a cursed deck underneath itâ¦
âWhat? You said you prepared for the enchantment magic test?â
âWhy did you prepare outside? You can study inside.â
When the students tilted their heads, Kainando replied annoyed.
âYou fools. I didnât study, I made the test myself. Be quiet because you have to insert the wizard card.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
When the students were silent, Kainando smiled and nodded.
It seemed that these friends had finally learned to respect the imperial family.
bang!
âWhat nonsense are you talking about?!â
One of the students jumped to his feet. The table slammed and shook violently. The stack of cards that Gainando had arranged so far were scattered on the floor.
Ignoring the princeâs screams, the students continued their conversation.
âDoes that make sense? oh no Wodhanaj is a nonsense guy, but heâs in the same grade?â
âWhat did I say? Wardanaz had the familyâs vision even before admissionâ¦â
âMy cards are scattered! You children!â
âIs that important now?!â
âWeâll clean it up, so talk about the enchantment test! I have to take the enchantment magic test!â
Of course, he didnât have the ability to properly talk to Guyando. While the students were talking loudly, Lee Han arrived closer.
âWhat are you all doing?â
âWardanaz! Is it true that you gave the test for enchantment magic!?â
The students looked at Lee Han with eyes trembling in shock.
âWhat kind of nonsense⦠a senior asked for it. I even helped with the chores by the side.â
ââ¦ah!â
The students who understood only then let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, common sense did not collapse.
âAs expected, it was the princeâs fuss.â
âLook. What did I say?â
I wanted it to end on a warm note, but unfortunately it didnât.
Lee Han looked at the piles of wizard cards on the floor and asked.
âWhat is this?â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦Uh⦠thatâsâ¦â
âListen to the book.â
Lee Hanâs voice was plain, but it contained an eerie warning.
The White Tiger Tower student froze like a bird preyed upon by a snake.
âThat⦠that⦠why?â
âlisten. before getting hit.â
When I lifted the book, the inside was cut out and the hidden wizard card came out. Lee Han hit his head with a cane.
âevil!â
ânext. Youâ¦â
The student who became the next target hurriedly opened the book. there was nothing.
âYou put down your coat and open the inside pockets.â
ââ¦â¦â
* * *
After stopping illegal wizard card gatherings, Lee Han shared the contents of the test with students who are listening to grant magic.
The students murmured when they heard that it would be a test to repair a broken artifact.
âExactly which part is broken, wordanaz?â
âI donât know.â
âHow long is the artifact?â
âI do not know.â
âDonât bother you Wardanaj! Thereâs no way I can tell you that!â
Nilia exclaimed as if warning.
Lee Han was slightly moved by his friendâs help.
In this situation, the only thing you can trust is your friends.
Shuk-
When the students reflected and backed away, Nilia quickly put a bar of chocolate in Lee Hanâs hand.
and then whispered
âWhich artifact is advantageous to choose?â
ââ¦Niliaâ¦â
âThat was just a joke.â
