âNow. Since weâre done talking, sew this.â
âAh-oh. Guyannado that child. I should have made you listen to illusion magic.â
Seeing his friends grumbling while sewing, Lee Han felt puzzled.
what?
âWhy is everyone sewing?â
Of course, no matter how sturdy the clothes were, they would get torn, torn, and sometimes even burned during the harsh life of Einrogard.
However, it was not common for friends to be sewing as a group like now.
Besides, seeing the sewing, it seems like they are not sewing the torn things, but adding a pattern on top of the coat�
âAre you guys trying to add magic to your clothes? Then you canât just sew a thread like that. Iâll have to deal with the magic first.â
âOh, Iâm just doing it because itâs pretty.â
ââ¦huh?â
âProfessor Greenbell has an exam.â
final exams were like light and salt to first-year students who are going through hard and difficult lives.
A test that you can win by just going and having fun without any preparation or study.
Of course, there were opinions like âWouldnât you have to be discerning if itâs a test,â like a student Mo Wo, but it was only a very minor opinion.
In any case, the expectations of students for this exam were very high.
Even though it has nothing to do with grades, there are students who intentionally try to decorate their clothes more fancy.
âSo it has nothing to do with your grades right now, but are you saying that you are wearing an additional pattern on your coat to look more glamorous when dancing?â
âhuh.â
Lee Han looked at his friends with the eyes of a lump of filth.
Realizing the atmosphere, the friends rushed to make an excuse.
âOh no. Itâs nice to be pretty.â
âAnd patterns help magic, too.â
As you can see just by looking at the magic circle, the geometrically constructed patterns played a role in assisting magic.
Of course, it was a strictly calculated pattern or something like that, but the pattern that Gainando was putting on now was useless.
It was just put on for fun.
âHave you finished studying for the test?â
âIâm done.â
âme too.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was shocked to learn that most of his friends had finished their final exams except for himself.
Is it that much of a difference?
âThatâs right. Then work hard.â
âIsnât Wardanaz over?â
âShh. Of course itâs not over. Donât ask me that.â
A few thoughtful students silenced their friend.
Lee Han sat down with a shocked expression and checked the rest of the exams.
Surprisingly, there were not many tests left.
Excluding dancing and socializing, Professor Voladiâs exam Professor Alcasisâ examâ¦
âWait. Do you have any more healing magic tests left?â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The friends hesitated.
âGuinan Island?â
âIsnât that okay because youâre just going to give up anyway?â
Gainando, who was talking, looked at him and quietly tucked in his coat.
It was heartbreaking to see the patterns I had worked so hard on being ripped off.
* * *
Temporary ballroom.
The students of the White Tiger Tower and the Black Turtle Tower looked at the coat of arms of Gainando with a look of astonishment.
âThat princeâ¦!â
âOh my god, look at that.â
The pattern of the prince defeating the lich engraved on that coat was so cool and cool.
So much so that the viewer canât take their eyes off of it.
One of the White Tiger Tower students who was trembling with jealousy murmured.
âThat kid must have wasted his time doing that without even studying.â
ââ¦thatâs right! It must have been.â
However, the voices of the White Tiger Tower students were filled with a sense of defeat.
Thatâs what I felt myself saying.
Any cost or damage felt insignificant in front of that gorgeous pattern.
If only I could have that coat!
âYoner. Could it be that there is some kind of magic that I donât know about?â
âDonât you like it just because itâs pretty?â
âI donât think itâs on that level.â
Lee Han was dumbfounded and looked around.
It was hard to believe that the other top students were looking at Gainandoâs coat with eyes burning with jealousy and greed.
Do you like that pattern so much?
âShould I add patterns to sell next time?â
But I couldnât help but feel rejected.
It wasnât enough to get new materials and make more things at that time, but I had to add useless patterns.
I donât want to make useless things like that!
Lee Han was surprised to realize that he had a sense of pride as an artifact creator.
âGuinan Island students! Why are you walking so slowly there? Come in quickly!â
Professor Cleanbal, who was in the ballroom, sang Gainando, clicking his feet.
Guinando, who had deliberately walked slowly as if he had been hit by a slowdown curse in front of the ballroom, finally returned to his original speed.
As Guyando drew closer, Professor Krinval was startled.
âI swear by the dancerâs shoes! Youâve never seen such a nice coat, even when walking around the world of the Empire?â
âWhoops. thank you.â
Gainando grabbed the collar of his overcoat made of blood, sweat and tears and went inside.
The inside of the ballroom was fantastic, as if it wasnât Ein Lorgard.
As the light was refracted and scattered, various colors were sprinkled like mist, and the fantasy magic installed here and there made the surroundings even more beautiful.
Asan, who was checking the playing music, found Gainando and said.
âCainan Island. Iâll give you a practice partner.â
âno.â
âJust one turn⦠What?â
âNo.â
âwhy?â
âLook at these clothes.â
Gainando pointed to the beautiful pattern on his coat, which seemed to have been covered throughout the exam period.
Asan saw this and was surprised.
âThis⦠did you buy it from outside?â
âWhat are you buying from outside! I made it myself.â
âThatâs right.â
Asan nodded, came to his senses and asked again.
âBy the way, what does that have to do with practicing?â
âI canât practice because I donât want this coat to get damaged.â
ââ¦You are a jerk with 100% probability.â
âjoy. Youâre jealous of my coat. Even if Iâm an idiot, Iâm a nerd with a coat. You are Asan without a coat!â
Asan was speechless for a moment. It was because they were overwhelmed by the momentum of Kainan Island.
And I was even more shocked by myself.
Oh my God, I was pushed back because I had an argument with Gainando!
This is ridiculous. It was evident that he was overwhelmed by the splendor of that overcoat.
âTwo⦠Letâs see. Guinan Island!â
âhaha! ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!â
In the meantime, Lee Han, who had danced a song with Yoner for light practice, approached.
Everyone who sees it so badly, âEvil! that coat! That coat!â
âCainan Island. I know you made that without sleeping at nightâ¦â
âOh no? Do you have any proof?â
Guinando, unlike usual, resisted with a more stiff attitude. The coat was giving courage.
Lee Han raised his staff expressionlessly. Gainando immediately raised both arms and shouted.
âSorry! Sleep early at night from now on!â
Although the coat gave courage, it had its limits. Upon seeing the cane, Guinandoâs sanity immediately returned.
âWhat is this made of? This purple color is a bit⦠high in saturation, right?â
Lee Han knew roughly everything about the paints and dyes on the black market in his freshman year.
In fact, I knew roughly everything about the things that were just going around. As his connections were so wide, it was impossible not to hear the news.
The paints and dyes used by first-year students were either âborrowedâ for a short time from Einrogardâs classroom, or they were made by themselves, and most of them were crude, monochromatic colors.
I bought some of these raw materials when I went out this time, but I didnât have a variety of colors because the importance was pushed.
And apart from that, this purple color was more mysterious and softer than the purple sold outside.
Where did Gainando get this from?
ââ¦will you keep a secret?â
âYes, yes.â
ââ¦Youâre really protecting me, right?â
âGuinan Island.â
âOh, I see. You can tell.â
Guinando hesitated for a long time, as if he wanted to monopolize it quite a bit, then opened his mouth.
âThere is a Darkness Pavilion.â
Dark Hall, Professor Mortumâs workshop and magic tower.
It was a familiar place for students majoring in black magic like Lee Han.
âThere are graveyards behind them. There is a place to treat poisonous insects there⦠but when I saw the color, I thought it was prettyâ¦â
Lee Han doubted his ears at his friendâs words.
so now??
âDyeing your clothes with the poison of poisonous insects!?â
âSounds strange when you say that!â
âIt must be because it is strange.â
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
If there was a place to throw away poisonous insects at the back of the Dark Hall, it was a place where they mixed and threw away without any specific rules.
Of course, the toxin generated there must be so complex that it is impossible to identify its ingredients.
I have to leave it alone until the toxin disappears, but to try to dye it because the color is pretty.
It was fearless or crazy or both.
could have been both
âI checked several times. It was really good.â
Gainando looked up and made an excuse.
I did everything I could to confirm it.
Besides, wouldnât it be the biggest proof that nothing special happened while wearing this coat?
âfor a moment. This blue one is also a bit strange. What is this?â
âThere was a blue bone in the Darkness Pavilion, so I ground it up and made it into pigment⦠Oh! evil! Lee Han! no! The pattern is ruined!â
When Lee Han could not stand it and waved his cane, Gainando struggled with his arms and begged.
I was more afraid of damaging my coat than the pain of my body.
âCainan Island. Even in alchemyâ¦â
âI donât listen to alchemy?â
ââ¦Anyway, itâs not a good thing to randomly mix elements whose exact ingredients you donât know.â
Lee Han was worried that some unknown synergistic effect had taken place in Gainandoâs coat.
Of course, it could just be that the coat was really cool and people reacted to it, but it could also be that Guinando accidentally created a cursed coat.
Understanding the meaning of Lee Hanâs warning, Gainando reacted violently.
âIf youâre going to take this coat, youâll have to take it off my corpse!â
âi get it.â
As Lee Han prepared to strip himself from the corpse, Gainando immediately changed his strategy.
âPlease Lee Han! From now on, I will study hard, do my duty, and I will not steal dessert! Let me wear it until this test!!â
ââ¦do I have to go that far?â
Kainando nodded his head. Lee Han stared at him and sighed.
âokay. wear it put it on this child Instead, if you feel strange, tell me right away.â
âhuh!!!â
Lee Han shook his head and turned around.
Just as he was walking out, Adenart cautiously gestured to Lee Han.
âWhat are you doing?â
ââ¦â¦â
As Adenart hesitated, Lee Han was puzzled.
âwhat?â
âDo you have any dance moves you forgot?â
Adenart shook his head.
Then, after a slight blush and hesitation, he finally opened his mouth.
âHow do you make that patternâ¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han didnât listen and turned away. Adenart looked at Lee Hanâs back with a shocked expression like an abandoned puppy.
why?!
* * *
The bloodsucking monster carefully moved in search of the familiar direction of magic.
There were so many strong people who showed strong presence in this school.
In particular, the lesson of being almost defeated by the death knights left a very strong impression on the vampire.
Even if you slept in a sarcophagus for over a few hundred years, it could end with one mistake.
secretly and cautiously.
The more I moved, the more I felt that I was getting closer to infinite magical power. The blood-sucking monster listened to the sound in the dance hall.
Through the gaps that opened, students could be seen dancing and chatting merrily.
However, he was not interested in the bloodsucking monster at all.
A student finally came into the eyes of the blood-sucking monster who was looking for infinite magical power.
It was a student wearing an overcoat with dazzlingly cool patterns. Regardless of magic, the blood-sucking monster was captivated by the overcoat.
