Episode 655
âHow could you say such terrible things in the first meeting?â
Priestess Cyana muttered in shock.
Among the students of Einrogard, the word fifth grade was a harsher word than insulting the family.
No matter how many enemies he is, how could he tell his opponent to stay in Einrogard?
âJin calm down. priest. It can mean something else in Baldrogard.â
âItâs not a good idea for any magic school to rot for five years!â
Ingsen was taken aback by the words of the student who was a snake beast dressed as a priest of the Fleming Church.
The priest was too rough-mouthed.
âArenât you a priestâ¦?â
âWhat do you mean by fifth grade?â
Lee Han, who had been quietly silent, finally spoke up.
There was not much change in his expression, but Yoner could feel the subtle murder hidden under Lee Hanâs sculpted face.
No matter how impregnable a friend it was, it was hard to bear the words of going to the 5th grade.
âThat⦠That⦠Are you senior Lee Han from the Wardanaz family? Einrogardâs 5th yearâ¦â
â?â
â????â
Not only Lee Han, but also his friends were embarrassed.
what grade?
âFifth grade?â
âyes. 5th grade⦠are you in 4th grade?â
ââ¦â¦â
Only then did the friends begin to whisper, realizing that the Waldrogard students were mistaking Lee Hanâs grade.
âWhy do they think Wodanaz is in the 5th grade?â
âIsnât it because of the things you did in Granden City?â
âWhat did I do?â
âYou fought the king of ghouls, fought the basilisk, fought the Mr. Serpent, fought the anti-magicist, and fought the magic criminals, right?â
ââ¦There are things I didnât do in that Grand City.â
Lee Han had nothing to refute, so he held his tongue.
Of course, it didnât have much effect. Friends ignored Lee Hanâs words.
âWell, rumors spread quickly. If I had heard rumors like this, I would have thought I was a senior in 4th grade.â
âI heard you think youâre a 5th grader over there?â
âNo, no matter how strange it is. Thereâs no way what happened in Granden City and Ein Lorgard spread that far.â
Lee Han spoke again, but his friends ignored him again.
âGuys, canât you hear me?â
âUmâ¦â
The two students at Valdrogard were taken aback by the strange atmosphere.
âArenât you in the 5th grade, senior?â
âRather, I wonder why you thought it was a 5th grader.â
At those words, Bashiu spoke softly from the side so that only Ingsen could hear.
âI must have been in the fourth grade like this.â
ââ¦â¦â
While Lee Han was dumbfounded and looked at Bashiu, Yingsen started to explain.
âLast year, seniors from our school visited Ein Lorgard. At that timeâ¦â
âOh, thatâs how it happened.â
At Yingsenâs words, Lee Han realized what had happened.
âWhat?â
âDo you remember the assignment Professor Knighton gave you at the festival last time?â
âWhat was it? Calculation of Imperial precipitation and consequent road damage and repair costs?â
âThe number of wizards to maintain the empireâs fortifications?â
âResearch in Ein Rogard made possible by Lee Hanâs magical power?â
Since he was a professor who gave a lot of assignments, the answer from his friends was Jung-gu Heating.
Some of them didnât even do it.
âEverything is wrong. And you didnât even give me the last one.â
âah. Han Lee. The last thing the professor said while you were gone. At that time, you were carrying out a request for a pocket knife fortress from the outside.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was astonished.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Trying to sell yourself to your friends while youâre away!
ââ¦I didnât say that. You know the statue of light and fantasy that Professor Knighton made at the festival?â
âah.â
Only then did the friends realize what Lee Han was talking about.
During last yearâs festival, several outsiders came, and the first year students prepared hard to treat them.
One of them was Professor Alpenâs magic circle. Creating light and illusionâ¦
âThatâs not an assignment, Wodanaz, you did what the professor didnât ask you to doâ¦?â
âShh. Nilia. Even Lee Han gets hurt.â
Yoner stopped Nilia.
No matter how innocent the question was, it was a question that could hurt Lee Han.
ââ¦Letâs just call it an assignment. Anyway, at that time, the Valdrogard students came and destroyed the magic circle.â
âthatâs right. It was.â
âAnyway, the Valdrogards⦠yup.â
Lee Han covered Gainandoâs mouth and continued to explain.
âI luckily replaced it with the magic I learned then.â
The Valdrogard students who visited the festival as guests had accidentally damaged Professor Alpenâs magic circle.
Of course, the Einrogard students criticized it, and Lee Han, who was worried that they would get scolded together because of a fight (and he had already beaten the Valdrogard students with water beads before that), stopped the fight and managed to get the situation back with . has been repaired
âWhy?â
âAt that time, the Valdrogard students said that I was a seniorâ¦â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
My friends were speechless because they were dumbfounded.
How strong of an impression did he leave on his seniors at other schools to listen to his seniors?
âI thought I had cleared up the misunderstanding by talking to the professor, but I guess not.â
âItâs good though!â
Shiana let out a sigh of relief and said.
âI almost got mad when I found out that crazy people were telling Wodanaz-sama to go to 5th grade.â
âSay that. haha. I was embarrassed too.â
âDidnât Priest Siana speak a little harshly?â
âItâs just that the Priests of the Phoenix Tower have all changed.â
While Nilia and Yoner were whispering, Yihan turned to face Ingsen and Vasiu.
âI think I know why such a misunderstanding arose. This happened when the Waldrogard students visitedâ¦â
Lee Han explained what heartwarming things had happened with Professor Alpenâs magic circle.
It was very pleasant to even be mistaken for a senior because of unfamiliar magic.
âhaha. There are so many coincidences. Rumors are unbelievable. Yes?â
ââ¦Oh no. Was that Lee Han from the Wardanaz family?!â
ââ¦?â
Lee Han was taken aback by the unexpected reaction.
what?
âWasnât it because of this?â
âThat⦠the person who fixed the broken magic circle⦠uhâ¦â
âItâs strangeâ¦? This double personalityâ¦?â
However, Lee Hanâs embarrassment did not even compare to that of Yingsen and Bashiu.
The two of them were in shock as if the world had almost collapsed.
The senior student who meanly attacked the Valdrogard students with water beads and the senior student who kindly helped the Valdrogard students who destroyed the illusion magic were the same person.
âfor a moment. Then what the hell made you think I was in the fifth grade?â
âDidnât you beat the seniors with that water ball? Sleep a minute. Is this a false rumor?â
ââ¦no. It is real.â
ââ¦â¦â
An awkward silence filled the drawing room.
* * *
It took about two hours for Yingsen and Bashiu to accept that Lee Han was the same age and helped destroy the magic circle after punching the Valdrogard seniors with water beads.
Gainando looked at the two of them in a pitiful way from the side.
If it was Kainando, I would have understood it in about 5 minutes.
âSo stupid!â
âSo⦠the water beadsâ¦â
âThatâs a bit misunderstood. It was not a fair duel or a magic showdown, but more like a festive entertainment.â
Lee Han was very blatantly lying.
It was a lie that the parties would never have admitted had they been present.
The horse was the game and entertainment of the festival, but the participants risked their lives to avoid the water beads.
If itâs not a duel, then what is a duel?
âIt was like a game at a festival, and I embarrassed the seniors of Valdrogard because of it? This is a completely false rumor. You shouldnât believe such rumors.â
âHa, but the seniors said that they were in the 5th grade and that they were terribly beatenâ¦â
âThatâs a joke.â
âA joke?â
For Yonerâs support, Lee Han showed gratitude and accepted his words.
âItâs a bad joke. There are times when even the seniors of Ein Lorgard make jokes. Poisoning the underground corridorâ¦â
â????â
ââ¦making fun of incoming freshmen. Can you be sure itâs not a joke? really?â
Lee Han strongly pressed the two of them.
Yingsen and Bashiu were greatly shaken as he glared at them and said, âDo you really believe the story that I trampled on your ancestors with magic?â
âIs that⦠is that soâ¦? Was it a jokeâ¦?â
âHa, but that was obviously serious. It didnât seem like the seniors were joking. I was trembling while talkingâ¦â
Lee Han said firmly.
âIt is smoke.â
âA kite smoke?!â
âSeniors are always sincere when it comes to bullying juniors. Acting is natural.â
ââ¦!â
Yingsen and Bashiu were greatly shocked.
Until now, I thought that Valdrogardâs ancestors were always the nobles of the nobles who were honorable and didnât lie, but that wasnât the case!
âSpeak⦠nonsense! Seniors are nobles!â
âhaha. Itâs not that I donât lie about being noble. Wouldnât this be a white lie to make friends with juniors?â
Lee Han relentlessly made Baldrogardâs seniors into liars and even finished the probation.
âIs that soâ¦â
âMaybe we trusted our seniors too much. We had to believe what we heard and saw with our ears and eyes.â
âthatâs right. Just because you couldnât avoid the water orb doesnât prove your magic skills. The seniors may have known that and made fun of us.â
It sounded ridiculous, but Lee Han didnât bother pointing it out.
Even as Lee Han, he didnât want to have a title like .
It would have been more honorable if he had won a fair duel, but breaking the noses of Baldrogard students with water beads at the festival was close to notoriety.
âHas it been fixed somehow? Letâs see. Baldrogard bastards.â
Lee Han was embarrassed.
At best, I helped the broken magic circle, but spread it because I got hit in the nose at the festival.
Next time we meet, Iâll challenge you to a proper duel!
âWhat nonsense!â
â?!â
Cainan Island did not pass.
âIf you canât avoid water beads, you canât use magic! What are the excuses for not avoiding it!â
âWhat are you talking about? Thatâs different!â
In response to Gainandoâs cry, Yingsen unknowingly abandoned his honor and protested.
Basiu shouted as if he agreed.
âThe skill of magic is not how fast you cast it, but how great magic you castâ¦â
âI canât hear you, losers!â
âAre you listening? So dodging water orbs has nothing to do with magic skill? Even the great wizard Vaquantalanaâ¦â
âI canât hear you, soil destroyers!â
âMagic is far more noble and dignified than fighting in the mud of the streetsâ¦!â
âBoo! loser! Dirt Breakers! Defeated Earthbreakers!â
âProfit!â
The faces of the two turned red at Gainandoâs taunts and provocations.
âHow could a person named Prince Hwang act so rudelyâ¦! Basiu was right, you donât have the dignity of a member of the royal family!â
âThey say Iâm a loser, Iâm a loser, Iâm a loser, Iâm a loser!â
Friends were amazed.
âDoesnât Valdrogard fight that much?â
âWhy canât I withstand a provocation like that?â
Lee Han was worried inwardly.
âItâs dangerous if you ask me to stick with magic.â
Even if the opponentâs magic casting was slower than Gainandoâs and he was clumsy, it couldnât be said that he didnât have comprehensive magic skills.
Einrogardâs teaching method was unique, but among the empireâs mages, there were many mages who were slow and clumsy.
It was not a big flaw as it was rare to have to complete magic in a hurry.
It might be dangerous to compete in a field where Kainando is weak.
âThis⦠only trusting in magic and behaving rudely. Do you think magic is everything if youâre good at it? Without honor and without character, magic has no value! Even if you are the top of your grade!â
â???â
However, instead of challenging Gainando to a confrontation, Yingsen and Bashiu lowered their tail and criticized him.
Shiana tilted her head and asked.
âWho are you talking about? Are you swearing at Mr. Wardanaz?â
âI think Cainan is talking tooâ¦â
