Episode 869
Lee Han did not waver despite the mistreatment of his mean seniors.
Gonadaltes: A wizard must not have irrational fears. You have to look directly at that fear and overcome it.
Iactus: Look at you and the principal a lot.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: You and the principal must overcome a lot.
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was about to attack, saying, âSo youâre going to graduate with that?â but then he came to his senses.
No matter how much you want to fight with your opponent, there is a line.
âAnyway, that doesnât help.â
Unlike other topics, when the skeleton principal was mentioned, everyone became very sensitive and it was difficult to gather information.
When Lee Han was wondering whether he should give up, someone posted a post.
Klzenberg: The principal has now gone up to the capital.
â!â
Lee Han was surprised to hear the name of the person he was seeing for the first time. Not only Lee Han but others also seemed a little surprised.
Iactus: Klzenberg! I thought you graduated.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: I thought I was locked in the punishment cell forever.
Klzenberg: Haha. Work has been busy these days.
Gonadaltes:â¦Am I the only one who cares that Klzenberg speaks in archaic language?
Iactus: Hey. You took the pseudonym Gonadaltes.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Thatâs right. Are you in a position to point out other peopleâs characteristics right now?
Although it was a short conversation, Lee Han was able to learn a few things.
First of all, Klzenberg was a student who spoke in a rather old-fashioned way and was quite popular among the other members of the group.
It felt like the exact opposite reaction of a member like Bulsal getting booed just for writing a post.
âIf I had to be honest, Iâd say heâs probably one of the most popular members of this âAinrogardâs Watchmenâ group. Bulgari is the most unpopular axis.â
For a moment, Lee Han thought about where he belonged, but quickly stopped when he saw the pseudonym âGonadaltesâ.
Klzenberg: More than that, beaver penguin fox, are you doing well in the research you mentioned last time?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Of course. The toxic vapor cloud was created very well. If they approach, you can kill them in 3 seconds, right?
Bulgari:â¦Isnât that a bit too much? Other students may get hurt.
For a moment, no letters appeared on the whisper artifact and it became quiet. Even though I couldnât see Lee Han, I could feel the atmosphere getting colder.
Klzenberg: I understand your worries about not being able to survive. But hasnât the beaver penguin fox always shown outstanding ability as a member? Even if it creates a cloud of toxic vapor, I wonât use it on other students.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox:â¦â¦
Firefly: Youâre not using it, right?!
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Ah. shut up. Why are you always meddling?
Bulgogi: Look at that! Look at that!
Klzenberg: Everyone, calm down. Beaver penguin fox is definitelyâ¦
âHmm. âI understand why itâs popular.â
Klzenberg reminded me of Allarlong, an old knight of the Wardanaz family.
A kind and considerate old knight.
After roughly understanding, Lee Han grabbed the quill pen again.
I was curious as to what the beaver penguin fox would use for the cloud of toxic vapor that would kill you instantly if you inhaled it for just 3 seconds, but right now I was more concerned about the skeleton principal.
Gonadaltes: Klzenberg. I heard that the principal went up to the capital. Can you tell me more?
Iactus: Oh. At best, the topic changed.
The others complained, but Lee Han ignored them. Klzenberg responded kindly.
Klzenberg: Of course. ⦠But why on earth did you use such a unique pseudonym?
Gonadaltes:â¦â¦
Klzenberg: Anyway, the reason the headmaster went up to the capital was to prepare the Great Magic. Do I need to get permission for this or that?
Bulgari: Huh? really? Was that the reason?
Iactus: What great magic?? What? Youâre not going to put an additional curse on the necks of all the students, are you?
Klzenberg: I donât know that much. And thatâs not even great magic.
Iactus: Thatâs right. Iâm sure you can do that easily.
âGreat magic?â
Wizards basically cast magic using only the reagents and mental power they had, but not all magic could be performed that way.
Some magics were so large and difficult that hundreds of wizards had to prepare for them for decades.
And this kind of magic was usually called anti-magic.
A magic that is too difficult for an individual wizard to perform.
The problem was that the Skeleton Headmaster was no ordinary wizard.
âItâs such a great magic that the Skeleton Headmaster needs to go up to the capital and prepare it. âWhat is it?â
For any kind of magic, it would require a separate preparation by someone who can handle it at their level.
It was no ordinary preparation either. It was a level of preparation that required going up to the capital and persuading everyone from the emperor to the officials.
At this point, Lee Han also became seriously scared.
To the point where I feel like the Baldrogard merger and acquisition would be better.
The members were also whispering about something similar.
Iactus: What is it? What are you trying to do?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Perhaps they are trying to enroll the visiting royal family?
Iactus: Is that great magic? Donât talk nonsense.
Gonadaltes: I agree with Iactus. Stop saying horrible things.
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Canât you even tell a joke?
Lee Han, who was pondering, suddenly had a question and asked.
Gonadaltes: But Klzenberg. How do you know this?
Bulgari: Thatâs right. How do you know this? Looks suspicious?
No matter how much you think about it, Klzenberg knew too much about it.
âAre there any other disciples besides me?â
I didnât know that there might be a hidden student in the 5th or 6th grade or higher.
He hasnât graduated yet and is trapped in the darkest and deepest part of the schoolâ¦
Iactus: You might know. What are you asking?
Beaver-Penguin-Fox: You sound like a prime minister. You are the winner!
ãAinrogardâs Sentinelã An onslaught of attacks fell on the two members who ranked lowest in the unofficial popularity poll.
Lee Han had no choice but to take a step back again.
âTsk. This bastard. Itâs so popular.â
Klzenberg: Everyone, calm down. I was just in a position to get information.
Baquantalana: Iâve been thinking about this for a while. Is Klzenberg possibly the principalâs student?
Klzenberg: Heh heh. Iâll leave it to your imagination.
ââ¦â¦â
Suspicious!
Lee Han felt overwhelmingly suspicious.
Of course, there could have been a senior student in the darkest and deepest part of Einrogard that even Lee Han didnât know about, but no matter how much I thought about it, Klzenberg didnât seem like that type of student.
There is no hatred that a disciple of a skeleton headmaster should show.
As a disciple of the real skeleton principal, Lee Han vowed to uncover the identity of the impersonator.
âOh. I almost forgot to ask how to use .â
Lee Han tried to ask about Professor Passeletteâs midterm exam artifact.
I didnât know if any of my seniors would know how to use this.
Bulgogi: Is Professor Kraer still angry? Couldnât there have been a misunderstanding?
Iactus: Oh. no. The professor just doubled the bounty on Professor Verdusâ head. A bounty was also placed on stolen artifacts.
âhmm. âNot a good time to ask.â
Lee Han quietly closed the book.
If I asked how to use the artifact now, I might have gotten several anonymous snitches.
-Did you use it all?
The baby basilisk stuck its head out from inside its sleeve. Lee Han nodded and answered.
âhuh. Rather, why have I been sleeping so much lately?â
-I was pretending to be asleep!
âwhy?â
-There is a dragon.
Unlike its usual curious eyes, the baby basilisk checked its surroundings with a wary attitude.
It was as if they were checking to see if Jo Woo-rin was there or not.
âHeâs sleeping over there.â
-!
When Lee Han pointed to Jo Woo-rin, who was dozing in front of the fireplace in the lounge, the baby basilisk darted into his sleeve.
-Yinging⦠I tricked youâ¦
ââ¦Oh no. âI didnât lie.â
-I liedâ¦
âIâm sorry.â
Lee Han stuffed a snack into his sleeve to soothe the baby basilisk.
Even while crying, the baby basilisk ate the snack.
âMore than that, His Highness Jo Woo-rin is not that scary of a person.â
-Iâm scared of dragons.
âOf course, it can feel racially threatening, but you saw it too.â
-What?
ââ¦many actions that feel less threatening?â
-?
The baby basilisk tilted its head.
No matter how much I thought about it, I didnât do anything that felt particularly threatening.
He grabbed Lee Han with his front paws, tried to kidnap him into his nest, and tried to entangle him with his tailâ¦
-It seems dangerous?
âno. âIf you follow that logic, you too are in danger.â
-yes?!
When Lee Han pointed this out, the baby basilisk cried again.
But in Lee Hanâs opinion, what the two were doing was similar overall. Thatâs because Jo Woo-rin is much stronger and has fierce anti-magic power.
ââ¦got it?â
-joy.
Despite Lee Hanâs long persuasion, the baby basilisk eventually grumbled but nodded.
I didnât know that the dragon you encountered might be a relatively less dangerous dragonâ¦
Ugh.
Jo Woo-rin, who was in a good sleep thanks to playing happily all day, heard Lee Hanâs voice in his sleep and immediately stretched out his front paw.
âUgh.â
Jo Woo-rin held Lee Han tightly to prevent him from escaping, and then held him in his arms and curled up tightly. It was like a child sleeping while holding a doll preciously.
Of course, from Lee Hanâs perspective, he ended up being kidnapped by the dragonâs nest. The baby basilisk whispered in astonishment.
-Itâs scary, right!
ââ¦This is for fun.â
-The owner just said âboo!â
âYou must have heard wrong. âI was originally going to sleep here today.â
Lee Han used his telekinesis to protect his body and tried to force himself.
The baby basilisk looked at that figure with suspicion.
It seems like a lieâ¦
* * *
ââ¦Gasp!â
A wasteland where the sky and horizon are both empty.
Lee Han, realizing that the black book was just an illusion, sighed in relief.
I thought I was having a nightmare about being kidnapped by a dragonâs nest.
âWhat is it this time? âIs it possible to use magic to sneak away without waking His Highness Jo Woorin?â
I thought that something like that would definitely be useful.
If it were a magic that could secretly break the dragonâs chainsâ¦
However, instead of telling the magic as usual, the black book moved slowly in the air, taking time.
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
âWhat are you doing? âIf youâre not going to teach me magic, send me out.â
If you thought Lee Han would beg because he wanted to learn magic, you were mistaken.
Even so, I was already learning too much magic. It was also midterm exam period soon.
If you donât want to teach me, thatâs fine.
But the black book once again avoided answering and just moved slowly in the air.
âwhat. âThis bastard?â
Lee Han felt uneasy at the Black Bookâs unusual attitude.
Normally, he would have been forcefully pouring in his magic as if every second was a waste, but why is he taking such a leisurely approach?
âWhat the hellâ¦â
Lee Han, who was thinking about it, looked back without thinking.
Then, a portal engraved with the symbol of a golden wheel that the skeleton principal had visited when he was young appeared.
The black book was a dimension door that recommended, âThe principal went in and learned magic when he was young, so you should go and learn too.â
â¦Right in front of Lee Han!
Lee Han, who was wondering what would happen to the portal if he didnât go and held on, couldnât help but be shocked.
âThe portalâ¦is secretly approaching?!â
I always felt this, but the Skull Principalâs minions had a knack for creatively screwing over Lee Han.
Promising that he would physically retaliate against the Black Book if he escaped the dream, Lee Han was forcibly sucked into a portal with a golden ring pattern.
