It was Sevius who was most calmly checking space 6 of his backpack.
Even while Zandanni was moved by the miraculous friendship and Lee Han looked at him with a straight face, Sevius calmly checked inside.
ââ¦for a moment.â
âWhy are you doing that?â
âIt looks like someone opened this once. Look here.â
Sevius cast magic to project space 6 as an illusion. An enlarged image of space appeared before the wizards.
It looked like a retired wizardâs workshop. The difference was that when the wizard retired, instead of taking care of his belongings, he seemed to have left them for his successor
.
A birch workbench for inspecting and sorting reagents. A high-quality alchemy cauldron with eight cooking utensils. A jewelry drawer for reagents organized by color. A bookshelf for spare wands and grimoires. A
box containing gold and silver coinsâ¦
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
âSenior Einrogard may have stockpiled this before closing the space and then closed it.â
âNo. Thatâsâ¦â
âAh. Itâs definitely strange! Iâm a student at Einrogard, so it doesnât make sense for me to accumulate those jewels and gold and silver coins here.â
Lee Han pounded his palm with his fist as if he understood.
Sevius said, glaring at his junior.
ââ¦look next to it too.â
â?â
Lee Han looked away. There were letters written on the wall forming space number 6.
In honor of my friendship with my big Einrogard friend, I save my passion for the Einrogard student who will one day open this backpack for me. Please write well. And please forgive Student Baldrogard if he turns his stomach.
-Ifeldrem
âSun⦠senior!â
Zandanni shouted in surprise at the name of the legendary Baldrogard senior.
âThatâs your name! I passed on this bag to you!â
ââ¦Why is it written like that over there?â
âWell⦠didnât you predict the same situation as now?â
Giandanni, who was embarrassed, came up with a hypothesis.
If the senior had opened the extra-space maze and listened to the message his friend left behind, even if it was belated, he would have been deeply moved by that friendship.
And then he must have thought something like this.
Einrogard and Baldrogard are the two-headed chariots that lead the empireâ¦
ââ¦Ah, this guy is real.â
âSenior! Why are you doing this? Seriously!â
Lee Han was about to hit him, but when Sevius tried to attack him first, he freaked out and stopped him.
Itâs bound to be even more embarrassing when someone who doesnât act like that explodes.
Giandanni asked in surprise.
âWhy are you doing this?â
âGo on. Except the two-horse carriage!â
â¦Anyway, the senior may have thought that the misunderstanding between Einrogard and Baldrogard should be resolved and the two should become closer.
Einrogard students use magic, Baldrogard students use dignity and honorâ¦
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Zandanni flinched at the murderous gaze of the two wizards.
âDid I say something wrong again?â
âPlease continue.â
â¦It is something that can be exchanged.
But the misunderstanding was not something that could be resolved so easily.
So the senior closed the backpack again and left it for the juniors.
So that someday, when my juniors open this, they can hear for themselves the goodwill left by Einrogardâs friend and be touched.
âThen what do you mean by saving it for those Einrogard students?â
âThatâs simple. Baldrogard students wonât be able to open this, so why not call Einrogard students and we can witness this together?â
ââ¦What kind of nonsense⦠Does that make sense?
âBut it happened like thisâ¦â
Lee Han was speechless at the sight of Jan Danni who hesitated but said what she wanted to say.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
⦠Really?
âSenior. . Please give me a refutation.â
ââ¦Um.â
âSenior!â
Despite Lee Hanâs shout, Sevius kept his mouth shut.
Now that things had turned out this way, it was difficult to refute.
Garal said as if he was still surprised.
âSo, A senior named Baldrogard opened this by hand, checked his friendâs message, stuffed a gift inside, and closed it again?â â
Yes!â
âThere was a wizard with that level of skill in Baldrogard?â â
⦠What do you mean?â
âOh noâ¦â
When the employer glared at him, Garal noticed and avoided his gaze.
In the meantime, Ihan, who had recovered a little from the shock, talked to Sevius in a whisper.
âThen, that wizard named Ifeldrem is. Youâve met your Einrogard friend again, right?â
âProbably so.â
âThatâs a good thing.â
âI guess itâs not a good thing.â
âYes? Why? By continuing your friendship with the Baldrogard student?â
ââ¦No, because if I had gone to see Senior Einrogard, I would have been taken to the punishment cell together. âItâs just the principalâs personality.â The
skeleton principal was relatively lenient to outsiders, but the situation was a little different for students at other magic schools.
If he secretly came to Einrogard to meet a student in the punishment room, the skeleton principal would be enough to imprison him.
â no way. Thatâs about it. Everyone goes to the punishment room at least once.â
ââ¦â¦â
Sevius was about to say to his junior, âIf an outsider goes to the punishment room just once, they wonât even spit in the direction of Einrogard.â
âRather than that, Iâm glad it ended without any misunderstanding between the two of you.â
âThatâs true.â
âBut you could just give this backpack to any Einroguard student, but seeing that they blocked the space again like this, I donât think there was anything special in the punishment room. It looks like you didnât learn your lesson.â
âHeâs my junior, but there are times when heâs really scary.â
Sevius was thrilled by Lee Hanâs coldness.
How could he say something like that after seeing that?
âHey. Please take this.â
Zandanni held out the backpack.
Looking at the message left by the senior, I could understand why he left this backpack to the Valdrogard students.
Someday, if you find a Einrogard student with whom you can share friendship, give this backpack to them. He left it saying,
âSenior. Now I think I understand what you mean.â
âBut we took this anywayâ¦â
âShh. Be quiet.â
Sevius silenced his junior.
There was no reason to bother the other person when they ended things well and even gave him the goods.
* * *
Lee Han carried his newly acquired backpack and left the village of with Sevius.
Sevius Surprisingly, I readily gave my backpack to my junior without receiving anything in return.
âAre you sure itâs okay?â
âYes. I originally thought this was an Einroguard item and wanted to bring it with me. According to the intention left by the senior, it is right for you to receive it.â
â?â
Lee Han tilted his head.
âWhat does it mean?â
âI left it to my friend Baldrogard, and Baldrogard left it to my future friend Einrogard.â
It was Wardanaz who Zandani considered a friend, so it was right for Wardanaz to have this.
Lee Han was astonished.
âYouâre not a friend????â
In the first place, it wasnât easy to become friends with a 4th-year Baldrogard student who thought he was a 6th-year student.
Where on earth should I start?
Sevius responded as if he was annoyed.
âThen why donât you return it?â
âNow that I think about it, I guess you can think of me as a friend.â
Lee Han gave up right away.
Surely, when a problem arose later, he said, âI stole it.â âI got it from a friendâ was a better excuse than
âYes, I got this artifact, so I can be my friend.â
I didnât feel like it, but I was able to bear it when I thought about this backpack and the items in it.
Lee Han checked the items in room 6 again. I was particularly impressed by the various magic items, as well as the reagent gems and the gold coin box.
âBaldrogardâ âThey pile up these things in their workshop and use magic? Itâs crazy.â
At that point, it was no exaggeration to say that it was not magic, but pleasure and luxury.
Sevius, who was next to him, was silent as if he was deep in thought. Lee Han asked, just in case,
âWhy are you doing this? âSenior?â
âIs there anything you want to take from inside?â
If Sevius asked to share the items inside for his share, Lee Han was planning to share. As he helped Lee Han as a senior, Sevius would take the items in spaces 1 to 5, and Lee Han would simply take space 6.
âJust like before .
âI was thinking about it because it was strange that there was a curse on the space maze.â
âArenât you prepared just in case?
âIf the Principal or Professor Verdus had gotten their hands on it, they would have opened it right away.â
Senior Einrogard would have had to prepare for situations other than his friend opening the door in the normal way.
Especially since it was made by stealing items from Principal Skull and Professor Verdus.
âNow that I think about it, I guess I should be careful too.â
As soon as Lee Han returned, he decided to change the appearance of his backpack first.
Although quite a bit of time has passed, arenât they both among the most persistent people in Einroguard?
âIt must have been like that originally. But this was opened by a Baldrogard student and then closed again. If the curse had been cast again, the juniors would have known that it would be dangerous.â
Seviusâ point was reasonable.
Later, when the juniors open their bags to become friends with each other, if they are cursed, their friendship and everything else will jump out, âItâs a trap for those despicable Baldrogard guys!â
Sevius couldnât understand why something like this wasnât left behind.
âI think they left advice on how to open it correctly, rather than forcing it like we did⦠Thatâs strange.â
âAh. I think I understand.â
âwhat?â
âThose guys from Baldrogard never read magic books, so they used the backpack my senior left behind, but they thought it was a magic book and threw it away
. What do you think?â
ââ¦â¦â
Sevius was a little worried that his junior didnât like Baldrogard too much.
âBut⦠it seems plausible!â
* * *
âWhere did you get this bag?â
âI got it from a Baldrogard student.â
âIndeed. You stole it.â
âNo. I said I received it.â
âYes, I understand. I understand.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han looked shocked at his friendsâ reactions.
âYoner. Does receiving it sound like you stole it?â
âHuh? Yeah.â
ââ¦I really got it.â
âWhat? How?!â
Yoner was even more surprised than when he opened the artifact.
How on earth did he just get this?
âSo⦠as a token of our friendship because we became friends by chance.â
ââ¦â¦â
Yoner doesnât trust his friend, but he wondered whether he should lie and say âI trustâ as a token of friendship.
Lee Han shook his head bitterly.
âItâs okay. Donât believe it.â
âOh no. I believe it. You believe it?â
Meanwhile, the friends started emptying the spaces inside one by one and filling them with the necessary items.
âNo. Why did you put in the magic potion? You said you donât need Wodanaz?â
âBy that logic, why include food? Most of the food Wodanaz carries is eaten by other guys!â
ââ¦Letâs add the magic potion.â
âLook!â
The friends took out all the high-quality wine from space 1 and filled it with potion inside
space 2. In space 3, we put away all kinds of toys and food. In space 3, we put away expensive outdoor clothes and put things for survival, such as sleeping bags and cloaks. In space 4, except for the Toberry seriesâ¦
âOh no! Who could do this!?â
Gainando was surprised when he saw the rare, out-of-print edition.
âIhan! Who gave this to me?! What kind of person are you?!â
âGainando. Does it matter now? Quickly choose a magic book and put it in.â
âHey! How great is thisâ¦!â
In space 5, excluding the fighting harness, I kept various animal equipment and tools. I left space 6 as is for now. I planned to take it out and use it later whenever I needed it.
â?â
Open the mouth of the backpack and 6 After checking inside the space, Lee Han was about to close it when he saw something for the first time and was puzzled.
âWhat is it? I didnât see it before?â
It was a letter.
A letter left by Zandanni in the name of the Aljadq family asking him to visit Baldrogard sometime.
Ihan sighed deeply when he saw that. Then, he took out his quill.
âIhan. What are you doing?â
âReply to the letter. Write.â
