Chapter 703

If it had been any other student, he would have asked what kind of nonsense this was, but as a fifth-year student, Delet quickly understood.

“Didn’t the principal tell you that you had too much magical power?”

“yes.”

“……”

There was an awkward silence.

Delet thought deeply about how to comfort this junior who was already having a hard time, but he couldn’t think of anything.

“I’m fine. senior.”

“…hey. It shouldn’t be okay… What if this is okay?”

“It will be avoidable. … maybe. And you are also a 5th year senior. “I can do it too.”

“That’s not the same…”

Delet gave up trying to say, ‘Is the 5th grade I chose of my own free will the same as the high difficulty level I was forced to choose due to the evil intentions of the skeleton principal?’

Even if I pointed it out in detail, it would only make my junior feel bitter.

“after. okay. Let’s stop talking about this. Because nothing will change. “The reason I came here is because I’m worried about you.”

“Well, what exactly are you worried about?”

“……”

There were so many things to consider that even the junior himself couldn’t figure out what was going on, so Direth touched his forehead with his fingertips.

“…Let’s start with the lecture schedule. “I don’t know if I can do everything today.”

“ah. But senior. “I have urgent work to do today.”

“From today? What? research? request? “Didn’t some… crazy professor call you?”

Direth felt ominous even as he asked.

If you were a junior in front of you, it wouldn’t be strange to have a professor who would call you from the first day.

“no. “I’m trying to move some of the smuggled items.”

“…I’m serious?”

Delet looked at Lee Han in disbelief.

This time, there was an incredibly difficult inspection, and they came in with contraband.

I couldn’t believe it.

“How did you get it in?”

“I was lucky.”

“This inspection wasn’t at a level that could be passed by luck… but it went well. okay. I’m glad you succeeded. “I’ll help you move it.”

Since it wasn’t that difficult, Delet said he would gladly help.

I was planning to share what I had to say while helping.

“How much is it?”

“doesn’t care. “I’m going to summon him anyway.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Then I will gratefully accept it. really. “Please take some too.”

“it’s okay.”

Delet waved his hand.

What’s the point of coveting contraband that has a second-year student’s nose on it?

From the 5th grade onwards, the need to worry about supplies is greatly reduced as students become more like professors than students.

Moreover, because the difficulty of inspections was high this year, the amount brought in would not be much…

* * *

“…were you a wizard?”

“You’re a wizard too, aren’t you?”

Direth was so surprised that he asked a question that no wizard would ask.

Delet felt embarrassed by the amount of smuggled goods that seemed to have been transported using several carts.

“How on earth do you do this…”

“Let me explain.”

“no. later. “I’m curious, but I think time will pass if I listen to it today.”

Delet shook his head and wings to concentrate.

To be honest, I was curious, but I came today to help a worried junior, not to hear the legend of Einrogard smuggling.

Maybe there will be time next time.

‘…I guess it’s me?’

At that moment, Delet felt the sadness of a fifth grader who was unsure of his leisure, and his shoulders slumped.

As a 5th grader, it wasn’t strange at all if I couldn’t go out from today onwards.

“Hide in the dark and move your luggage.”

“Watch ahead.”

“Feel hostility.”

Delet prepared for the task by summoning various undead creatures.

It’s a simple evening walk, but Einrogard can’t let down his guard.

From detecting enemies to expanding visibility, hiding and camouflage were basic.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“it’s okay. As a senior, you have respect. “Have you prepared the lecture schedule?”

Direth asked a question as he walked down the hallway in front while the porter golems followed behind him.

“yes.”

“also. You used Calendarium, right? “A huge clock artifact created by Yukbeltire.”

“Do you know too?”

“You know. It’s such a convenient artifact. “Some of my classmates tried to steal that artifact.”

“……”

It was the dirty history of my seniors that I didn’t want to know.

When Delet motioned for the lecture schedule, Lee Han took out the written schedule.

“This is how I received it.”

“Hmm… It’s almost the same. “I was worried, but as expected, the artifact created by Yukbeltire is accurate.”

“It did malfunction a few times.”

“what? why?”

“I listened to too many lectures…”

“…”

Delet pretended not to hear and changed the topic back to normal.

“But what’s important is that it’s completed correctly!”

“yes. … Wait a minute, senior. What do you mean almost identical?”

Lee Han felt puzzled.

Being the same is a word that only comes out when you have something to compare it to.

By the way, Lee Han’s lecture schedule was drawn up during a conversation with Yukbeltyre today. What can we compare it to?

“ah. “It’s something the professors made.”

“…?”

Lee Han tilted his head.

I didn’t understand what my senior was saying.

“Professors… what do you plan?”

“huh? “Aren’t those professors discussing your lecture schedules and contents so that they don’t overlap?”

“yes?!?!?!”

For the first time in a long time, Lee Han felt a feeling of astonishment.

Where was such an evil plan being secretly planned?

“Didn’t you know?”

“Of course I didn’t know!! “Where on earth was such an evil plan being hatched?”

Because his junior’s spirit was so ferocious, Delet answered in a slightly embarrassed voice.

“In the professor’s lounge?”

“……”

When I thought about it, there was no way the professors were talking in the castle of some evil demon archduke.

Of course, we will talk in the professor’s lounge.

Lee Han regained his composure a little and asked.

“Please tell me in detail. senior. “About the plot of the most evil demons of hell.”

“Ugh… It’s closer to the conversation the professors had, but…”

Among the privileges Direth gained upon moving up to the 5th grade was the right to visit the professor’s lounge.

In fact, it was closer to a duty than a right. This was especially true as I had to go to the professor and start with research and report on the lecture.

And this time, Direth visited the professor’s lounge and discovered an unusual room.

In fact, it wasn’t so much the room itself that was unusual as what was inside it.

There was only one bulletin board placed in a room carved out of wood.

Monday

9:00~11:00

11:00~1:00

1:00~3:00

It seems like nothing has changed from last year, right?

is it? The order of my lectures changed?

…I meant break time. Professor Verdus.

It wasn’t there last year either, but it was okay, right?

I don’t really want to take Biblé’s side, but I really have no choice this year. Even if you only include the lectures that are really necessary, it looks like this. Didn’t Professor Garcia leave out a few easy lectures?

I left student Lee Han alone to take a break!

I guess so. However, I could have skipped the difficult lectures, but I guess I skipped the easy lectures. Professor Garcia. Admit it. That you are essentially similar to other professors.

Underneath, there was a huge smash mark left as if someone had hit it with a fist.

Also, underneath that…

…everyone, please refrain from provoking Professor Garcia.

“There was a bulletin board like this.”

‘…weird? Why do I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before?’

Lee Han felt a strange sense of familiarity, but he didn’t have time to figure out its identity right now.

“So? “What happened?”

“I asked the professor. “I heard that the professors kept fighting among themselves to take up each other’s time, so it ended up being an agreement from the beginning.”

It was a pretty reasonable approach.

This is because professors were able to prepare appropriate lectures within the pre-agreed time, rather than arbitrarily extending their lecture time and disturbing the next professor.

…Except for the fact that Lee Han has no free will at all!

“Why do they agree among themselves?!”

“Yeah… that’s right.”

Delet was speechless at his junior’s very valid point.

When I thought about it, I should have felt strange in the professor’s lounge at that time, but since my junior was such a unique person, I came out thinking, ‘Well, he has to do something like that to fit into the school.’

“But junior, aren’t you at a level where you have to meet the lecture schedule? “Exclude the easy lectures and focus only on the difficult lectures…”

“You can also skip the difficult lectures, right?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? “You should take classes that will be as helpful to you as possible.”

Delet waved it off as if telling him not to say something so trivial.

Lee Han once again felt that the senior in front of him was also a fifth-year student.

“So, the schedule I received from Artifact matches the schedule created by the professors.”

“Yes…”

“…”

Lee Han became unusually despondent.

Of course, in pursuit of efficiency, Lee Han would not have arbitrarily changed the lecture schedule, but in fact, I would have guessed that his fate had already been decided.

Delet flapped his wings in embarrassment when his junior, who was always brave and confident, became discouraged.

“But still. Here… there’s an empty corner… Oh, there’s no empty corner. “This lecture here and this one are not lectures chosen by the professors, so you can exchange them for any other lecture you want!”

“…thank you. senior.”

Lee Han came to his senses with a bitter smile.

I was heartbroken with a sense of defeat, but I couldn’t keep doing this.

‘okay. I can’t be frustrated.’

I think it would have been better if I hadn’t known, but in the end, it made little difference.

Just take all the lectures you need to take and get the best grade possible.

“Are you feeling better?”

“yes. senior. “This way.”

Lee Han summoned a water bead into the air, held it with his hand, turned his body upside down, and walked a few steps on the ceiling.

While Delet looked at him, speechless, Lee Han walked away. And then I chanted a spell.

“As an honorable Einrogard student, I swear that I will never trust, bribe, or inform the professor. In particular, the principal will be even more suspicious…”

“……”

Direth blinked at his junior’s spell, then came to his senses and looked around.

‘Was there a hidden room here?’

I wasn’t surprised that Delet didn’t know. The hidden rooms in Einrogard must be older than the skeleton headmaster.

“How did you find this room?”

“I once met a senior who graduated in the punishment room, and he told me that he felt sorry for me.”

“Ugh…”

Delet averted his gaze for a reason that was more miserable than expected.

Actually, I think Dirette would have taken care of something if he had met the junior in front of him in the punishment room.

The stories of most prisoners were pitiful, making it impossible to win.

Grumble!

‘It’s pretty good, isn’t it?’

Delet was impressed as he looked at the neatly organized inside of the secret base.

It was a pretty good place as it was used by former graduates. Traces of complex magic remained everywhere.

“Would you please leave the contraband you brought here in the warehouse?”

“okay.”

Delet ordered his summoners to pack up his belongings. Contraband goods were piled up in a warehouse in a corner of the base.

‘It seems richer than some kind of kitchen club warehouse.’

“This…?”

While looking around for traces of magic, Delet found a blank note pinned to the table.

It was a note of a type I had seen many times before.

“What is this? I think I’ve seen it somewhere before.”

“ah. “This is a communication artifact that my senior told me to use to see if I could hear that black magic.”

“……”

Direth internally regretted saying something for no reason.
