Episode 702
âWhat is this?â
Lee Han quickly responded to his seniorâs ice-cold voice.
âYou looked cold.â
âAre you saying that now?â
âwhat?â
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed.
It would have worked well for Professor Verdusâ¦
Apparently, Yukveltyre had a higher social intelligence than Professor Verdus.
âBut why does someone like that act like Professor Verdus?â
While he was thinking about it, Yukbeltire put away his cloak and looked at Lee Han. The gaze was half indifference and half contempt.
âTry putting your hand on the clock again.â
ââ¦?â
Lee Han was surprised once again.
Surprisingly, the other person did not recognize Lee Han!
âwhat? âIs it good luck to start the second year?â
Itâs not for nothing that the term âbeginnerâs luckâ exists.
I didnât know that luck was helping Lee Han, who had just entered second grade, out of pity for him.
âItâs not over yet. The idea is to escape without raising as much suspicion as possible.â
Meanwhile, Yukbeltire took out a small magnifying glass and looked at his junior.
It was a magnifying glass with a lens for high-level magic recognition that I made myself.
Although wizards are those who control magical power, even wizards cannot perfectly recognize the flow of magical energy.
Even in a space that appears peaceful without any movement, numerous magical flows and changes occur.
The flow of magical power was so complex that even people with an innate ability to sense magical energy found it difficult to capture it with just their senses.
This simple artifact created by Yukbeltire accurately recognized the flow of magic power of the junior.
Yukveltire was planning to check for himself what kind of nonsense his junior had done that caused the artifact to stop.
Jang!
When I activated it, the magnifying glass lens broke.
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Yukveltire tilted his head slightly. Then he cast a spell on his eyes.
âPierce through.â
When was cast, the information from the expanded space was directly transmitted to Yukveltireâs brain.
Yukveltyre, who was not good at remembering peopleâs faces, but remembered magic well, quickly recalled his juniorâs magic from memory.
âA second year student from the Wardanaz family?â
ââ¦Maybe youâre looking at the wrong person?â
Lee Han attempted his last resistance in a resigned voice.
* * *
Yukveltire, who recognized his junior, showed a much friendlier attitude than before.
Of course, that didnât mean he offered tea or refreshments.
Just talking to the junior in front of me first and asking questions was a very friendly attitude by Juukveltire standards.
âHave you thought about research?â
âItâs coming.â
In response to his seniorâs question, Lee Han strengthened his resolve.
Fortunately, Lee Han had an answer prepared for this situation.
âI am honored, but unfortunately I have a prior commitment. Also, he said he wouldnât forgive us if we did other research at the same timeâ¦â
âWhat kind of rude person is this?â
âThis is senior Delet.â
ââ¦â¦â
Yukveltire looked slightly sad.
As hard as it was to imagine Professor Verdus looking upset, Lee Han was quite surprised because the senior in front of him was the same.
âYou said that to me and then you tried to monopolize it. Delet, Iâm disappointed.â
âYou must not refute. You shouldnât refute it.â
Lee Han suppressed the urge to defend Delet.
There was something Delet said.
â Junior, since you are in the Blue Dragon Tower, you may meet Yukveltyre.
-What should I do if I meet him? Should I play dead?
-Thatâs a good method, but it wonât work. Yukveltire will check your pulse right away. Just making excuses.
-yes? My senior killed me?
-â¦no! Make excuses that you donât have time to participate in other studies because of me!
-Isnât that too much of a loss to your senior?
-My life has already been a loss since I decided to go to 5th grade. It wonât change anything if it increases here.
-â¦â¦
-â¦Sorry. It wasnât something to say in front of a junior. In any case, my excuse will probably work for Yukveltyre. really. No matter what Yukveltyre says about me, just stay still. Donât refute it. The moment you refute it, you get caught up in it.
Classmates gave Yukveltyre insulting titles like Verdusâ best disciple, but in reality, Yukveltyre was very different from Professor Verdus.
If Professor Verdus had no social intelligence at all, he had Yukbeltire but did not use it.
We should not approach it lightly, as we will use whatever means and methods are available if necessary. It was best to just keep my mouth shut.
âI endure it.â
While Lee Han was patient, Yukveltire smiled coldly.
âBut Iâm satisfied. âDid Delet finally decide to stop taking care of underclassmen and focus on his own magic? Now that he is in the 5th year, he may have had a change of heart.â
ââ¦If I challenge you to a duel, will I lose?â
For a moment, Lee Han almost challenged the senior in front of him to a duel.
How can you insult Direth like that!
Yukveltyre spoke in a cold voice, unaware of Lee Hanâs thoughts.
âIf itâs because of Direthâs research, Iâll give in for a moment.â
âAre you sure?â
âof course. âI just have to convince Delet later.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han suddenly became very worried about Delet.
Professor Verdusâs idea of persuasion was roughly to harass the other person until they were sick of itâ¦
â¦but how different would his student really be?
âI might really have to subdue this guy here!â
Unexpected that his distant junior was seriously contemplating assassination, Yukveltire turned his attention to the artifact again.
âSo, the junior member of the Wardanaz family⦠I was wondering why the artifact became inoperable. âYou said you were listening to quite a few schools, right?â
âyes.â
âMaybe thatâs the cause.â
Yukveltire gave an order while looking at the giant river clock artifact.
âExclude lectures that can be replaced!â
If you attend many schools, you will inevitably receive many lectures.
Jukveltyre issued an order to exclude lectures that overlap with other lectures or that can be replaced.
Thenâ¦
ting!
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The clock ticked and then stopped. Yukveltire frowned very faintly.
As a wizard of the Buyeo School of Magic, his pride was hurt.
âI canât believe you didnât expect something like this to happen.â
âIâm sorry.â
âItâs not your fault. Itâs my fault. âProfessor Garciaâs precedent was also overlooked.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was silent with a complicated expression.
I didnât know whether I should be happy or sad.
âThen⦠letâs find a school that can be excluded.â
âIs that okay too?â
âokay. âBecause I added some foresight magic as well.â
â!â
Lee Han was surprised by his seniorâs words.
I thought it was a complicated artifact, but it turned out to be much more amazing than I thought.
I never thought it would even contain foresight magic.
âHow does this clock work?â
âThere are priorities. Did I mention schools and interests and abilities? Next is talent and professors.â
âTalent and professor⦠you mean professor?â
Lee Han felt strange and asked again.
I know itâs talent, but what is a professor?
âYou can think of talent as your ability that you donât know about. If you come across a strange or unusual lecture, think of yourself as having a talent for it. The last one is the professor. To put it simply, it is how well your personalities fit together. âIf you donât get along well with your teacher, it will be difficult to learn.â
âOh my god, such a function?!â
Lee Han gave a look of admiration.
I wondered if I should use magic like that instead of the headmasterâs great magic when looking for Einroguard new students.
âShouldnât you raise your priority, Professor?â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? âIn magic, personality compatibility with the teacher is the least important part.â
Yukveltyre looked at his junior as if he were pitiful. Lee Han became sullen.
Crunch, clank, clank⦠Ting!
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
While we were talking, the clock stopped again.
The wrinkles between Yukbeltireâs eyebrows became slightly deeper than before.
âWhy is it like this this time?â
ââ¦It seems there is no school lacking talent. âItâs amazingâ¦â
Yukveltyre looked his junior up and down again.
I thought he had great talent for enchantment (plus spirit affinity), but looking at him like this, I realized he was incredibly versatile.
How is it possible for all schools to be equally talented?
âIâm sorry that there is no school lacking talent.â
âno. Like I said, this is my fault. âDonât apologize.â
An excellent enchantment wizard is not afraid of discovering loopholes.
The more loopholes were discovered, the more the artifact developed.
â¦I didnât think there would be another junior like this, butâ¦
âGood. Then⦠letâs look again for schools of thought that can be excluded. âFocus on the professor who is the least suitable!â
â!â
Lee Han was surprised when Yukveltire again ordered him to find a school to exclude due to his compatibility with the last priority professor.
âWho is the professor who is the least suitable for me?â
To be honest, I was curious about who it was.
There are so many people who can guess, so itâs moreâ¦
ting!
The clock stopped again.
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦I donât think there are any professors I donât get along with.â
âThis thing is broken!â
Lee Han shouted angrily.
What kind of crazy clock is this?
Otherwise, Yukveltyre must have made a mistake with his precognitive magic. What type of foresight magic does an enchantment wizard know?
âDo you know how much I hate some of my professors?â
âI guess so. But it looks like those professors donât hate you. âI see the results came out like this.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han felt a shiver run down his spine at his seniorâs blunt explanation.
When I thought about it, considering the personalities of some professors, it wasnât strange that if you avoided lectures, they were forced to add lectures.
What if this watch even predicted that?
âscaryâ¦!â
âI canât help it.â
Yukbeltire, who was thinking about it, opened his mouth.
âIs there a way?â
âExcluding easy lectures that can be studied on your own, focus on difficult lectures.â
âNo, what is thatâ¦?â
Crunch!
With the clock blowing out smoke, the schedule for one dayâs lectures was finally completed.
It was a packed schedule with almost no empty space to be seen from morning to evening.
Yukveltire nodded as if to write it down. Lee Han wrote it down with a very uneasy expression.
âThe lecture is worth learning. If you learn this, minor errors will be greatly reduced when conducting research. Before attending the lecture, please bring the following materialsâ¦â
After completing the schedule, Yukveltire gave additional explanations for some of the lectures.
Before taking the lecture on , you must have at least three mental defense artifactsâ¦
Lee Han, who was diligently taking notes, felt a little grateful.
âthank you. Seniors. âI didnât expect you to explain it in such detail.â
âAre you taking the time to explain how to feel grateful? âIs that why you want to help with research?â
âno?â
* * *
Even though it was evening after the explanation, Lee Han and his friends could not rest.
Before visiting the new spaces in the tower, contraband had to be disposed of first.
âYou donât put all your eggs in one basket.â
Some were in their private rooms, some were in the secret base, some were in the cabin, and some were in the second-year common room⦠The amount of
work was so large that even if the work was done all evening this evening, it wouldnât be enough.
âJunior.â
â!â
Lee Han, who was leaving the tower, was surprised to find Delet.
âsenior. âKeep your voice down!â
ââ¦hey. You are a second year student. âNow even if you talk to me, you wonât go to the punishment cell.â
âWhen I meet a first year student, I go to the punishment room.â
âWhat do you mean? First graders canât see you?â
âIâm the only one who wasnât banned.â
ââ¦â¦â
