Episode 663
âBae⦠Professor Baegrek!â
Falga fell and screamed in a shrill voice.
It was hard to believe that he was a senior who had a serious sense of victory while recalling the strategy of his duel opponent until just now.
Lee Han was also perplexed.
âSeniors. He said Professor Baegrek, not Gonadaltes.â
Isnât it surprising that Professor Voladiâs name is not the skeleton headmaster?
âLee Han. I donât think it will help much.â
As Durgyu said, it didnât seem to touch Palga very much. Palga looked around and crouched down.
It was like a herbivore that heard the cry of a beast.
âBae⦠You were walking around with Professor Bagreg? Why?â
âAs I said, we met by chance.â
âDonât talk nonsense. Just because we met by chance, Professor Bagreck couldnât have asked us to hang out together. There must have been another reason.â
âno. This man is sharp.â
Lee Han also felt that the opponent was Ain Rogard senior.
Those who have spent more than a year in Einrogard basically have a sharper sense of danger.
âFor some reason, we helped the professor with his work. Then the professor served me a meal.â
âYeah⦠but why the dueling club?â
âWe talked during the meal, and the professor said he would give us a field trip.â
â!â
Palga was surprised.
I never thought that Professor Voladi would be such a friendly and sociable person.
I thought it was a bloodsucking monster created by the skeleton headmaster to harass the studentsâ¦
âSurprised⦠Surprised. Did you know Professor Bagreck would say something like that?
âSeniors. What happened with Professor Bagreg?â
Durgyu asked as if he did not understand.
As Durgyu knew, Professor Boladi did not have many students.
Iâm not someone who teaches various classes, and Iâm not someone who likes to bully students like the skeleton headmaster, so there was no reason to react so excessively.
âRight now, my other friends are a bit afraid of Professor Bagreg. I donât know why you are doing that.â
ââ¦it could be. Have you heard of ?â
âI tried to listenâ¦â
âOf course it was because they were both students at the White Tiger Tower. Because we did too.â
Palga said with a wry smile.
Freshmen can pick and choose the lectures they want, but usually each tower has a traditionally popular lecture.
For example, in the case of the White Tiger Tower, combat classes such as swordsmanship were popular.
In particular, in the case of , thanks to the word âmagic combatâ in the name, many new students would enter the classroom with excitement.
And after everyone ran out of the classroom crying, they never came close again.
âI understand.â
âI guess so. When I asked the seniors, they said the same. There was one dead person, but Iâm still not sure if that was a bluff or not.â
ââ¦â¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
While Lee Han was at a loss for words, Durgyu replied.
âWe all ran away too. Give Lee Han⦠ugh.â
Durgyu groaned when his friend stepped on his foot. Lee Han looked at him telling him to be quiet.
In front of a senior who would fall backwards at the mere mention of Professor Voladiâs name, there was nothing good about telling him that Lee Han was actually his student.
âYou might have a heart attack.â
âIf it ended there, Professor Bagrek might have remained like a scary rumor floating around Einrogard among us. why do you have that Something like a firefly lives deep underground in Einrogardâ¦â
âHe lives.â
Lee Han tried to speak but held back.
The senior felt quite sickly. I didnât know if I would collapse if I knew that firearms really existed.
âBut I didnât.â
Palgaâs face was like that of an old soldier recalling a distant war. Durgyu asked curiously.
âWhat the hell happened?â
âAs I said earlier, I belong to . And the club has a professor in charge.â
âOops. Professor Bagreck was in charge of the club.â
At Lee Hanâs words, Palga denied it.
Professor Boladi was not social enough to be in charge of the club.
âThe professor in charge is Professor Kirmin Ku.â
â??â
âafter. Itâs a little hard to tell because itâs inside the club, but⦠Iâll just tell you after Iâve said this far. You guys are also the White Tiger Tower.â
Durgyu looked at Lee Han. Lee Han pretended not to see it and ignored it.
âIn the past, our dueling club had lost consecutively. It was really crazy because there was no pay. Itâs hard to find research and food, so the morale of the club students is reallyâ¦â
âWait a minute. Seniors.â
Lee Han, who was trying to listen calmly, could not stand it and asked a question.
âDidnât you say you wouldnât bet?â
âah. I misunderstood. The pay we are talking about here is the duel proxy pay. Conservative as a great warrior.â
People who are crazy about the thrill and honor fight a duel, but not everyone in the empire wanted to do a duel.
There were also duelists who took their place and were paid. One of the main sources of income for the students of the Ein Rogard Dueling Club was dueling by proxy.
âDoes this make money?â
Lee Han was puzzled.
âIâm sorry, but there arenât that many duels these days, and dueling trials are even rarer. Will this make money?â
âEverybody judges by imperial law outside of school, but dueling is usually preferred within Einrogard.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han and Durgyu could not keep their mouths shut after hearing the main customers.
The seniors of the two preferred to solve it with a hot duel rather than arguing with rules like imperial law and all.
âIs this a magic school or a barbarian den?â
Lee Han was shocked.
âAnd there are customers outside of Einrogard. Mostly, students from other magic schools often visit our club members as mercenaries. The duel win rate is high.â
âAh⦠yesâ¦â
Durgyu closed his eyes at the ugly money making of the seniors he didnât want to know.
âThis is just a mercenary!â
âComing back to the main point, there was a time when our club lost in a row. When the clubâs income goes down, the atmosphere gets tough.â
âArenât clubs usually a social place where people gather for friendshipâ¦?â
âAt that time we were really nervous. So I asked Professor Ku. want to be strong Professor Koo said that it was just bad luck and that it would be okay if we calmly recovered, but we did not back down.â
Falgaâs voice was tinged with fear.
âIn the end, Professor Koo withdrew. You asked us Do you really want to be strong?â
âNo wayâ¦â
Lee Han, who had a premonition of the end, felt a sense of foreboding.
âWe said yes. And Professor Koo called Professor Baegreg. And he blocked the door for three days.â
âOh no!â
Lee Han sighed. Durgyu did not understand and asked.
âWhy did you block the doorâ¦?â
âTo keep them from running away.â
âIsnât that enough?â
Palga shook his head slowly.
It was just ridiculous to hear these stupid and inexperienced juniors say such things.
Iâve never experienced it, so Iâm not saying anything like that!
âMy story ends here. I donât want to tell you what happened inside. You guys be careful too. Professor Ein Rogard is all dangerous, but there are some especially dangerous among them. If you treat me to a meal and show me around the club, if you attend lectures next semesterâ¦â
Palga shuddered as if he was scared just thinking about it. Durgyu calmed down as if not to worry.
âI am not listening. Itâs okay because Lee Han here is already a student of Professor Baegrek.â
Boom!
Palga fell again.
âAre you okay?!â
However, Falgaâs eyes were already filled with amazement, fear, and wariness as if seeing a monster from another dimension.
âBae⦠Professor Baegrek was a disciple. This⦠whatâs your name?â
âOops.â
Lee Han realized his mistake.
The seniorâs eyes were like those of friends watching Gainando, who had fallen into a black magic cesspit.
The cold eyes made me feel the determination not to get close!
ââ¦Gainanâ¦â
âLeehan. I said Lee Han.â
âyes.â
Lee Han promised himself that he would use a pseudonym more thoroughly from now on.
* * *
Palga wanted to make an excuse and leave as soon as possible, but Lee Han was not easy.
As much as I didnât want to let go of him leaving a bad impression on him, I desperately held on to him.
ââ¦Come to think of it, bring something to drinkâ¦â
âDurgyu. The old man said he was thirsty. Bring it quickly!â
âLee Han.â
Lee Han looked at Therugyu with the expression in his eyes, âYou revealed that I am Professor Voladiâs disciple.â
Durgyu tried to complain, but kept his mouth shut and quietly went to get a drink.
âKheuk. I said it without much thought.â
âI⦠I can bring it.â
âno. please sit down Seniors. I think you have a misunderstanding, but in fact, I am not just listening to Professor Baegrekâs lectures.â
âIf there are people who only listen to Professor Baegrekâs lectures, that would be even more strange.â
Ignoring the muttering Palga, Lee Han spoke again.
âActually, Iâ¦â
Lee Han, who was about to say it, hesitated.
Come to think of it, taking all the schoolsâ lectures didnât seem very helpful in this situation.
âI happened to listen to some additional lectures, and among them, there was a professorâs lecture by chance, so I forced myself to listenâ¦â
âHere you are.â
Professor Voladi showed up with other friends. Lee Han closed his eyes tightly.
âYouâre not helping!â
Palgaâs face was white, and he was gripping the desk with his fingers as if squeezing it.
âNo, no, no, no, how are you? professor.â
âIs it cold?â
âItâs not like that. professor.â
âIâm glad.â
Lee Hanâs friends, unaware of the situation, were puzzled when they saw Palga shaking as if he had the flu.
Why is that senior doing that?
âEveryone this way. The duel will begin soon.â
Professor Voladi pointed to a spot where he could see the duel up close.
For the sake of dignity, a distant and comfortable seat was good, but in order to learn something, you had to see it up close.
The students followed the professorâs instructions and tried to walk to the standsâ¦
âWordanaz.â
Professor Voladi motioned for Lee Han to come next to him.
âWhat are you doing?â
âSix times.â
â?â
6 times.
âAre you talking about the number of times the professor has ambushed me? Arenât there more than six?â
âThe dueling order.â
Professor Voladi confirmed his order. It was 5 times.
âIf you leave it alone, it looks like it will apply for participation on its own. I found the right partner and applied.â
Even as he introduced the dueling club to other students, Professor Boladi did not forget his meticulous consideration.
He worried about the disciple who would challenge anyone to a duel if left alone, so he had him face off with the right opponent.
âProfessorâ¦â
Lee Han clenched his teeth tightly.
I just naturally gritted my teeth.
âI am so lucky to have a teacher like youâ¦!â
âhmm.â
Professor Voladi patted Lee Han on the shoulder and walked away.
Then, from behind, I saw the senior staring at Lee Han with a look of astonishment.
It was surprising that Professor Voladi participated in the duel, but to have such a confident participation in a junior who had only finished the first year.
Anyone can see that he was a handmade man!
Lee Han sighed deeply.
âIâll have to give up getting close to that senior.â
