Episode 653
After Guinando is taken to the punishment room, the friends are each introduced to the rooms they will be staying inâ¦
âWoda Naz-nim, Meikin-nim, this Hongyeong-gwan, Nilia-nim, this Uyeong-gwanâ¦â
Each of them was introduced to the mansion one by one to stay.
Surprisingly, the large building that I thought was the Kraha familyâs mansion was just a reception mansion placed at the front gate.
Lee Han said with a face as if he was in love with the Kraha family.
âShall we come to the rescue of Gainando even now?â
âPatience Lee Han! Mrs. Kraha would also appreciate it if you treat her like you normally do rather than say yes or no!â
Yoner and his friends quickly grabbed Lee Hanâs arms.
Judging by the look in his eyes, he didnât seem surprised even if he went to rescue Guinan Island right away.
âhaha. Iâm kidding. joke.â
âIt didnât sound like a joke at all.â
Nilia muttered in a timid voice.
It was the first time I had seen Wodanaz look so happy.
The despairing Wardanaj was scary, but the happy Wardanaj had something more grotesque than that.
âThe Kraha familyâs wealth is really great. Han Lee. There is no family like this in the Northâ¦â
âThe Moradi family is fine too, right?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âhaha. Han Lee. The Moradi family estate is large, but compared to here, itâs nothing more than a prison! There is nothing there!â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han, who spoke out to encourage Durgyu, was slightly taken aback by Durgyuâs cold reaction.
It was the northerners who were the most cold-hearted in their evaluation of the harsh and cold northern lands of the Empire.
Nilia was disgusted at the size of the private mansion she was staying in.
To live alone with servants in such a large mansion? It was already the nightmare of the first visit to the Meikin family.
The difference is that Yoner is in a different mansion this time!
âNilia. Are you okay?â
âWhat are you talking about? am i totally fine? The Maikin family was much more demanding? Is this really easy enough?â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Not only Lee Han, who had asked the question, but also Yoner looked at Nilia in dismay.
Nilia blushed and hurriedly explained.
âI didnât mean to say that the Meiken family was a difficult place!â
âYeah I know.â
âcalm down. Nilia.â
Lee Han asked Yoner to visit him often with his eyes.
Yoner nodded, then paused.
âLeehan, what are you trying to do? Youâre not going to save Cainan, are you?â
ââ¦Oh no. Iâm just going to meet you.â
* * *
Two days later, Guinando, who was released, sat among his friends grumbling.
Because the familyâs land was so large and the mansions where each of them stayed were far apart, friends usually gathered in the garden near the reception house.
âThere is only one of you who came to see me!â
âWhat are you talking about. Guinan Island. I went to meet everyone. But he told me not to come too much, so he left.â
âOh really?â
Yoner nodded solemnly as if saying yes. Friends were puzzled.
âWhen did we go to meet?â
I donât think anyone except Lee Han wentâ¦
âWhat did you play with while I was gone? Wizard card game? A magazine discussion?â
âI took a walk and met some of the guests who stayed at the mansionâ¦â
âNilia-sama was really great.â
Priestess Cyana looked at Nilia with admiration. Other friends also expressed their agreement.
She is so eloquent that the customers ask, âWhen will Miss Nilia come out?â Rumors like âI want to meet you tooâ spread.
âI donât want to see you againâ¦â
But Niliaâs ears drooped.
I went out for a walk in the mansion, and every 50 meters, a nobleman I had never seen before came out and started talking to me.
My hair went white and I couldnât remember what I said.
âDidnât we meet on the way here today? There must have been some people walking the promenade to meet you.â
âI drank the invisibility potion and crawled through the bushes. why!â
ââ¦Thatâs right. Sorry to ask.â
âKeugh. I should have been.â
Guinando cast a jealous gaze at Nilia, who had stolen the popularity of the mansion society.
Nilia was dumbfounded.
Canât you see this bastard crawled through the bushes?
âOther than that?â
âEveryone taught Eandurde this and that.â
Seeing Lee Han teach his juniors, the other friends also wanted to teach each other something.
Yoner learned the basics of herbalism, Nilia taught the tips to be careful when walking around the mountains, and Durgyu taught simple fighting techniquesâ¦
Eandurde sat down in the corner, downcast. Seeing this, Kainando clapped his hands knowingly.
âYouâve finally noticed the greatness of our seniors!â
âno. Itâs because the new clothes are frustrating. Eandurde. You should be able to wear clothes like this.â
âKreureung.â
âYou have to answer in the right words.â
âI understandâ¦â
Alcicle appeared while the friends were talking. The face of the penguin beast wizard looked even more tired than when he arrived.
âWhat are you doing?â
âPeople here invited me so much⦠I donât know how many sardines I ate.â
âOops. You refuse.â
âno. You need a lot of gold coins to research. You never know when or how youâre going to get sponsored, so you canât be rude.â
Alcicle slumped to his knees.
Seeing the haggard appearance of the senior wizard, the junior wizards made a slightly impressed expression.
The greatness of a wizard was revealed even when he studied difficult magic, but it was also revealed in the way he persevered to study that magic.
âreally. I heard that the Waldrogard students were visiting, so I said yes.â
ââ¦Pengerin-sama!!!â
âYou canât do this!â
âI was just admiring you! betrayer!â
Alcicle responded in a tired voice to the reactions of the junior mages.
âI am also a guest, how can I refuse a visit?â
âIf the Valdrogard students visit, you must promise to bring a blizzard to the mansion!â
âItâs your familyâ¦â
Alcicle was dumbfounded at the sight of Gainando jumping up and down.
It was the first time in his life that he had been asked to bring a blizzard to his familyâs mansion.
Fortunately, Lee Han regained his composure and asked first.
âWhy are the students of Waldrogard visiting?â
âIâve probably heard your rumors. Rumors that Einrogard students are staying at the Kraha family mansion.â
âindeed. Then, the purpose of the Valdrogard students must be to secure their modest honor by winning a cowardly victory over the other students of the Magic School.â
ââ¦Oh no. Thatâs not it.â
Alcicle was taken aback when this happened to Lee Han.
âSince they are students from another magic school, they must be coming to say hello. Thereâs nothing wrong with making connections with wizards. I donât think there was such an intention.â
Despite Alcicleâs words, the students didnât seem to accept them very much.
âWhat if the Valdrogard students come back with some shady schemes?â
âGiven their level, theyâre probably just bragging about themselvesâ¦â
The Valdrogard students were basically wizards like plants in a greenhouse, so they werenât so obsessed with magic.
Even if they come and brag about themselves, it wonât be that great.
âAnyway, Iâm proud of this, isnât it?â
âYeah, since the Valdrogard students are wizards from magic schools, they must be proud of their magicâ¦â
âI canât forgive you!â
The other friends also nodded at Priest Sianaâs words.
If you come to the mansion and show off your magic, I wonât let you go!
Eandurde tilted her head and asked Lee Han.
âWhat is Valdrogard?â
âhaha. It is the name of the enemy.â
âenemy!â
âDid I really have to dry itâ¦?â
Alcicle began to regret that he should have brought a blizzard to the mansion.
* * *
âLook over there! Waldrogard students!â
âThe honorable wizard of Valdrogard. Great!â
Yingsen and Bashiu smiled heartily at the sound they heard from the roadside.
It was felt that Valdrogardâs name had spread not only in the West, but throughout the Empire.
âAre you really saying that Einrogard students are at the mansion?â
âokay!â
âIâm curious about your magic skills. Speaking of Einrogard, itâs an imperial magic school equivalent to Baldrogard.â
âyes. The two-headed carriage leading the magic of the Empire!â
The two students were calmly uttering absurd remarks that would instantly turn them into bugs if the skeleton headmaster heard them.
But I couldnât help it.
What could the students who had spent a year or so in Valdrogard know about the world of magic in the Empire?
The 2nd and 3rd year students of Waldrogard used to realize little by little that the evaluations of the two schools were quite different between real wizards, but they didnât tell their juniors about it.
It was to maintain Valdrogardâs dignity and honor.
And the general public of the empire, excluding wizards, thought the two schools similar, so it wasnât a completely wrong story either.
âBashiu. only you know I intend to take light revenge for my seniors.â
âRevenge! What do you mean?â
âDo you remember the seniors who visited Ein Lorgard the other day?â
At Ingsenâs words, Bashiu looked back at his memories.
Certainly, there were seniors who visited the Ein Lorgard Festival last year.
âah. thatâs right. It was.â
âAt that time, the magicians of Einrogard dishonored the seniors by sending out senior students in a mean way.â
âokay! How could you do such a mean thingâ¦!â
The two were indignant.
The Waldrogard students who visited Einlogard last year were only in their second or third year.
In order to embarrass such guests, Ein Rogard cowardly sent out a fourth-year student.
Even that 4th year student was ruthless and mean (according to the seniors who told the story), and even possessed the viciousness to catch the Valdrogard students off guard and surprise them with elemental water magic.
âIs this your first time hearing about surprise?â
âno. They said it was a surprise. They said they cheated on something.â
âWell, you prepared thoroughly, but it was strange that you were defeated so easily!â
Listening to it made me feel like I was cheating.
If not, no matter how high a grade is, there is no way that he would be unilaterally defeated like that.
âAnd he was in fifth grade.â
âwhat? really? I heard you were in 4th grade.â
âno. My seniors recognized me again, but they said I was in 5th grade.â
âFifth grade?! More cowardly!â
Ingsen was furious at the feeling that the noblemanâs honor had been tarnished.
It wasnât even 4th grade, it was 5th grade.
These were really mean Einrogard students.
âI think itâs because Einrogard received people from other tribes than nobles. They take everything from knights to slaves!â
âBashiu. Donât say such rude things. The professor warned you too. An outstanding mage should be respected regardless of lineage.â
âThatâs it, but look at it now. We Valdrogard are honorable, but Einrogard is corrupt. Whatâs the difference?â
Yingsen couldnât deny Bashiuâs words.
The Waldrogard students would never have sent a 5th grader out to disgrace a guest.
âBy the way, Yinsen. How are you going to get revenge? A vulgarity does not suit your honor.â
âSimple. As a wizard, I will avenge you with magic!â
Yingsen declared while holding onto his staff.
He didnât know the skills of Einrogardâs students yet, but Bashiu wasnât worried at all. Ingsenâs skill was one of the best among Waldrogardâs first year students.
âI have prepared some magic for this kind of day to come. Itâs not magic thatâs widespread in the empire, so even Einrogard students donât know. How will Einrogard students react if I ask them to solve this magic?â
âIngsen, your magic is as great as your honor!â
The two of them smiled at each other and nodded their heads.
It was time to restore the honor of the seniors to the Einrogard students.
