Episode 697
After hearing something so absurd, Lee Han was momentarily slow to react.
âNo, youâre saying that right nowâ¦?!â
Without the headmasterâs magic, it was not easy to avoid contact with a first-year student.
Not only would I have to detect and avoid first-year students in the crowded Einroguard, but I might also have to be invisible at all times if there were a lot of first-year students.
It was such a difficult problem that even Lee Han, who conforms to reality by saying, âDamn it, professor, youâre doing too much, Iâll try anyway, youâre a professor and Iâm just a student, so I respect your authority,â felt at a loss.
pop!
However, just as he was about to protest against the unreasonable level of difficulty, the skeleton principal disappeared after completing the spell.
-Your speech has become shorter compared to last year.
-What did you hear, senior?
-They say that losers who canât graduate are locked up in the punishment room forever.
-â¦This must be a joke, right?
Students from other grades also appeared at the same time in the space where the second grade students were.
In order to lecture students in each grade at the same time, the skeleton principal divided several spaces into overlapping spaces in the same location like a kaleidoscope.
Afterwards, they created their own alter egos and told stories tailored to their respective grades.
âYouâre really using magic for useless things!â
Lee Han was taken aback and forgot how angry he was at the ridiculous waste of magic.
âLee Han. âSeniors!â
âLook at those eyes. âTheyâre trying to fool us!â
âGainando. âItâs not too harshâ¦â
âYou didnât know because you came late during winter vacation! âAll my seniors are thieves!â
The 2nd grade students, who were suddenly faced with 3rd and 4th grade students, were buzzing.
Lee Han and his friends, who sensed the evil nature of their seniors during smuggling, looked wary, but the rest of the second-year students showed a friendly attitude, like a baby bird meeting its mother bird.
âSeniors. Please take care of me.â
âhaha. okay. âDo you know anything about smuggling?â
âyes? what is that?â
âYou can do it now! Nowâ¦â
ââ¦â
Even after entering Einro Guard, Lee Han shook his head at his persistence in trying to get bait right away.
âThe Blue Dragon Tower is this way!â
âThe White Tiger Tower is this way. There is no need to talk to other top seniors. Gather here!â
âEven if you are a senior in the same tower, donât be tempted by the offer! Donât make any deals today. Warning! âDonât make any deals today!â
Still, there were some meaningful people among the seniors.
The seniors, who knew well how the 3rd and 4th graders were taking advantage of the 2nd graders, went around and divided the 2nd graders into their own towers and gave them a strong warning.
Angago asked Lee Han.
âWardanaz. âWhat does that warning mean now?â
âAngo. That warningâ¦â
âOkay. âThose seniors were handed over to the principal.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han looked at Anrago with eyes that looked at Gainando or lower.
But surprisingly, he wasnât the only one who thought like Ango.
âhey. âThey say smuggling is possible?â
âwhat? âI brought some food with me. Can I bring it in?â
âThis quill control artifact looks like it could be usefulâ¦!â
The story that smuggling was possible quickly spread among second graders.
Human greed cannot always be easily prevented.
Lee Han went around each tower with his friends, trying to persuade the students somehow.
âFriends. listen to me âThose seniors are trying to take advantage of you.â
âeveryone. Donât fall for that! âYou canât trust your seniors!â
âEveryone listen to me! Seniorsâ¦!â
However, the response was not as great as expected. If half of the people believed what Lee Han said, about half did not believe it.
That is how strong the power of desire was.
âIsnât Wardanaz cheating?â
âWardanaz is the principalâs best disciple. They might be taking orders from the principal and spreading rumors to prevent us from smugglingâ¦â â
â¦Hey. What kind of guy are you? âJump forward.â
This guy has things to say and things he wonât say!
When an enraged Lee Han called out, the White Tiger Top student quickly lowered his posture.
-Everyone be quiet! Each grade goes to its own location!
-Quiet! Those who make noise will be attacked!
âhey. âAre you interested in smuggling?â Even though
the Death Knights appeared, a senior who was trying to whisper as he approached the second-year area flew backwards.
More than ten arrows filled with condensed black energy were stuck in his body.
âOops!â
The Death Knight, who fired a dark elemental arrow, shouted fiercely.
-Do not make noise or move until the inspection!
âTsk tsk. âHe seems like such a stupid guy.â
âYou should have been careful. âWith all your wits.â
ââ¦â¦â
While the atmosphere was getting colder, the Death Knights formed a siege against the students gathered in front of the main gate.
This was to prepare for possible attacks, riots, rebellions, surprise attacks, etc.
-There may be students who donât know much, so Iâll explain. Einrogard is a sacred magic school protected by strict rules handed down from ancient times! Therefore, school rules must be observed more strictly than any other sacred law!
âYouâre really fucking up.â
âDid that undead bastard turn around?â
Bloody curses flowed from the 3rd and 4th graders.
Is the rule to take away sugar butter if you bring it in a strict rule from ancient times?
-Therefore, external items cannot be brought in without separate permission. Please keep in mind that if your items are discovered, they may be confiscated and then taken to a punishment cell!
âNow that you know, letâs get started quickly!â
âIs it good to become a knight and steal the wealth of young students? âIs that what you wrote about?â
âDid the knightâs oath include theft of wealth?!â
-quiet! Donât make a fuss!
-Do not approach students arbitrarily! If you come any closer, Iâll assume youâre trying to attack!
âTch. âItâs a shame.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han realized that the students gathered here were different than he thought.
There were students who tried to pass the inspection by deceiving the Death Knights, but there were also a few who tried to break through the siege itself and just run away.
Just now, there were students provoking the Death Knights and sneakily approaching themâ¦
Perhaps because they were all Einroguard students, their abilities were not normal.
Even if you only completed your first year at Einroguard, you were treated as a wizard who only did one thing outside, so the seniors who spent more time than that were wizards that even Death Knights could not help but be nervous about.
âindeed. With this structure, is rebellion a worthy option?â
If all the students here start a riot, it will definitely be difficult to stop them all.
It was an option worth considering, except for the drawback that it would be difficult to deal with it later.
-The interrogation will begin. 6th grade students 5th grade students, please come to the front!
Lee Han watched several seniors, some he had seen before and some he had never seen, come forward.
Perhaps because it was after the 4th grade, the number was overwhelmingly small compared to other grades.
-Is this all you have?
âyes.â
-Please pass.
The Death Knights also did not search or search 5th or 6th grade students.
The warehouse manager didnât come forward and just pretended to conduct a search and let them through.
A third-year student who saw this shouted out to provoke the Death Knights.
âYou discriminate against students! Investigate properly!â
-Shut up! Donât students have a human heart? Do you not feel sorry for the senior who entered the 5th grade?
âWhat you just said was harsh. âNo matter what, youâre telling me to conduct a stricter search on a senior who has entered the 5th year!â
âBoo! âWhat a piece of trash!â
But surprisingly, this provocation backfired.
The other students, including Death Knight, all started criticizing the person who had just spoken.
Anyway, youâre trying to bully someone who just went up to the 5th grade!
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Of course, such consideration had little effect on the 5th and 6th graders.
Lee Han realized that Delet, who had passed the inspection, had a confused expression on his face. Not only Delet but other 5th graders were almost the same.
-Itâs done.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
-Okay. Donât let your guard down. From now on, we will start inspecting 2nd through 4th graders! Students who pass the inspection can go to their respective towers!
âNow this is the real beginning.â
With the 5th and 6th graders eliminated, there are now only grades left to target the proper smuggling.
They cleverly sent messages to second-year juniors even under the watchful eye of Death Knights and other decent seniors.
Are you interested in smuggling? If you want to move something, join now!
Paper birds are often used as message carriers, as well as telepathic magic. Some students even floated letters in the sky or on the floor.
Anyone who wants to protect their rightful property should go to the northeast!
Lee Han exchanged glances with his friends.
âAre you ready?â
âhuh.â
The most important smuggling had already been accomplished underground, but the most important part of Einrogardâs work was the cleanup.
The goal is to confuse the opponent as much as possible and make it impossible for them to guess.
For that purpose, Lee Han and his friends had prepared simple backpacks.
A few magic books that wouldnât cause much damage even if confiscated, and snacks like coffee powder, tea leaves, sugar, and chocolate.
Even if these things were confiscated, the skeleton principalâs suspicions would be lessened.
âEveryone, do your best. âIâm going to meet some seniors.â
Lee Han packed his backpack and started contacting the seniors he had agreed to meet.
ââ¦All right. So, this boxâ¦â
â⦠Thatâs right⦠if you put the box in your luggage and carry it with you⦠I wonât have to search through all those boxes, so at least one of them will succeedâ¦â The conversation ended in a whisper
. Dehumcha looked at Lee Hanâs back with a proud expression.
Other unprepared students tried to find second-year bait, but it was not easy in the current situation.
In a situation where saboteurs and death knights are watching, it is surprisingly difficult to persuade juniors and make them do what is necessary.
As expected, the city should have prepared this in advance.
âThe wizard who wakes up early steals a lot from the headmasterâs warehouse.â
âThen I will go.â
âokay. okay.â
Dhumchaâs plan was simple.
If a disturbance occurs in one of several lines of checkpoints, it becomes relatively easy to pass through other lines of checkpoints.
Of course, the one who will be in charge of one line is the junior!
-Please come.
âyes. yes.â
Dhumcha crumpled a few boxes into a bag with magic and walked away.
In front, one of the seniors had already been caught and was complaining.
âWhy canât I bring my gold coins? I need it! Just take a look! âI need a ton of gold to make sure the plague I created completely turns it into lead!â
-You can get the gold coins yourself. Gold coins brought from the family are prohibited.
âWhy is it banned? âTell the principal to come out!â
-These gold coins will be confiscated and used to fund research for the entire school year.
âYou thieves! âTheyâre like evil undead!â
âTsk tsk.â
Dheumcha clicked his tongue inwardly.
Iâve heard that seniors often do crazy things in their senior year because of the pressure to graduate, but I canât believe they make such mistakes so openly.
Sneaking in the familyâs gold coins only made the Skeleton Headmaster happy.
Dhumcha said that one of his seniors, who was caught bringing gold coins last year, said every time he met the skeleton principal, âAre you here to donate Einrogard?â I have clearly seen people being ridiculed by saying, âWhen are you going to make your next donation?â
-Skull principal nerd! Skull principal idiot!
âItâs the beginning!â
Dhumcha cleared his throat when he heard the sound of a bone-eating parrot chirping. And then he performed a desperate performance.
âno! âWhat is going on?!â
Dhumcha pushed his backpack forward and tried to enter.
However, an unexpected cry came out of Dhumchaâs backpack.
-Skeleton principal idiot!Skeleton principal idiot!
ââ¦â¦â
-What are you doing now?
