This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Why are you staring at me like that?Lee Han was puzzled when Antagondals looked at him from behind his silver mask.
Then he slyly covered his plate with his hand. There was no more food left to share.
Im not going to steal it. Do I look like Im interested in that kind of fodder?
Ha! Mages always talk like that.
Antagondals realized a new talent the Wardanaz boy possessed.
That boy had a talent for making people angry.
Whether the mage criminal was inwardly furious or not, Lee Han focused on his meal.
He needed to fill his stomach properly if he was going to escape.
Watching Lee Han bite into hot toasted bread topped with fried eggs and bacon, Antagondals shook his head.
To think there was a young brat who could eat so calmly in front of an Insane Doppelganger and an Empire mage criminal.
Living long makes you see terrible things
Are you talking about Einroguard?
No.
Antagondals wanted to explain how dangerous it was for Lee Han to serve food to the Insane Doppelganger, and how surprising it was that the Insane Doppelganger ate it obediently without getting angry.
But he couldnt. The Insane Doppelganger was right there.
He didnt know what would happen if he said something unnecessary.
Meanwhile, the Insane Doppelganger, having finished eating, cleanly wiped his mouth and hands, then lifted Antagondals and slammed him into the wall.
Chattering noisily during a meal. Trash. Dont you know proper etiquette?
-I apologize. Master.
Antagondals, belatedly realizing he wasnt beaten because it was during a meal, regretted it inwardly.
He should have stepped outside briefly while the Insane Doppelganger was eating
That was a meal fit for slaves. Lowly thing. From now on, prepare more dignified meals.
Ah, yes.
Lee Han bowed politely but cursed inwardly.
To act like that after eating everything even Gainando wasnt this bad.
-Master. Do you require tribute to satisfy your palate?
Antagondals respectfully asked from within the wall.
If the Insane Doppelganger actually enjoyed fine dining, that would be truly valuable information.
For Antagondals, who had to please this evil being somehow, a new path would open up.
Ha! I dont need filth touched by trash.
At those words, both Lee Han and Antagondals cursed inwardly simultaneously.
He probably couldnt tell who prepared it anyway, so just let him order it.
Hes definitely showing favoritism to his disciple.
Antagondalss curse was slightly different from Lee Hans.
Having more information about the Insane Doppelganger, he could make more objective judgments.
According to ancient kingdom customs, disciples could prepare meals and attend to their master, but beings below that status werent even qualified to do so.
In other words, the Insane Doppelgangers response just now meant he acknowledged the Wardanaz family boy as his official disciple, but could never do the same for Antagondals.
What exactly is the difference?
Antagondals pondered deeply about how that young boy had managed to win the Insane Doppelgangers favor.
No matter how talented he was, the speed was too abnormal.
But the more he analyzed, the more he felt like he was lost in a labyrinth.
Should I keep talking back arrogantly? What is it? Should I have approached with a younger body?
I need to gather songs from the mountain peaks.
The Insane Doppelganger checked the time and prepared to move.
Though it seemed like he was just tormenting Lee Han and Antagondals while settled in the vast Einroguard mountain range, the Insane Doppelganger was actually quite busy maintaining the great magic spread across his territory and extending his own lifespan.
For a mana thought-form rejected by the world to resist in another Archmages territory was quite a troublesome task.
Antagondals, who had some idea about that routine, asked puzzledly.
-Master. Do you need the mountain spirits songs?
Its needed for that lowly things magic. He spouts some throat-cutting nonsense and calls it magic.
Lee Han wondered what he meant, then quickly realized.
The Insane Doppelganger was talking about music magic.
Wasnt it pretty decent?
Having some conscience, Lee Han didnt ask if his music magic wasnt decent in front of an Archmage like the Insane Doppelganger.
Instead, he waited until the Insane Doppelganger left, then asked Antagondals.
What does it mean to go up to mountain peaks and gather songs?
I dont know exactly either. So much ancient magic has been lost Its probably something like swan song.
Antagondals, who had emerged from the wall, also looked curious.
Among the materials used in some magic was the most beautiful cry a bird makes just before death.
Such reagents had capricious yet destructive power, so they could well be used in ancient magic.
If its such a powerful reagent, wouldnt it rapidly improve music magic learning too?
It would. If you survive.
Pardon?
Kid. Dont you really know that swan song is a deadly poison that instantly cuts off a mages breath if used incorrectly?
I dont know.
Only then did Antagondals remember that his opponent was a 2nd year.
What was common knowledge to older mages might not be to him.
The more beautiful and precious something is, the more vicious and deadly it is. Since its a birds last gift, its vicious, and since its most beautiful, its deadly.
Would the music hes going to gather from the mountain peaks be equally dangerous?
At the obvious question, Antagondals nodded as if asking why hed ask such a thing.
It wouldnt just be equally dangerous it would be far more dangerous. If it were just swan song level, thered be no reason for the Insane Doppelganger to go personally.
Lee Han said firmly.
I really need to get out now. Please prepare.
?!
Lee Han had no intention of testing a reagent far more dangerous than swan song on his own body.
No matter how hed resisted all poisons so far with his powerful mana, he wasnt confident he could withstand the Insane Doppelgangers biological experiments.
Antagondals couldnt understand the boy before him.
Dont you know how important this opportunity is? Arent you curious about how precious the magic that monster will prepare with ancient secrets is?
Im not curious.
Is this guy really a mage?
Antagondals looked at Lee Han with shock and contempt. Of course, it wasnt visible behind his silver mask, so Lee Han didnt care.
Actually, even if it were visible, Lee Han would have ignored it.
If its so precious, he can do it himself.
If Antagondals took the mountain spirits songs, Lee Han could watch with great interest from the side.
You might understand one syllable, no, one phrase of incantation magic? Are you really going to run away now?
Then why dont you do it?
If I could d it, I would have. Youre a disgrace to mages, you brat!
At his words, Lee Han became even more suspicious.
Dodging the question like that was usually what suspicious people did.
The best result could be understanding incantation magic, but the worst result was death.
And in Lee Hans view, the probability of the worst result seemed much higher.
Stop trying to trap me and just prepare.
Just then, Einroguards whisper called to Lee Han.
-Junior. Im ready. Ill start as soon as youre ready.
-Im ready too. Please start now!
Lee Han was overjoyed at Direts message.
It was hard to believe with just Antagondals power alone, but his senior had finally come to help.
They say preparations are finished outside.
Really? You believe that? Think again.
Are you acting like this because you dont want to do it now?
Honestly, its not exactly appealing work. But that doesnt mean what Im saying is false either. Do you really think a 5th year student can break the grand magic of this mountain range? Seriously?
Ha. Youre saying that because you dont know my senior. My senior isnt someone who would talk nonsense.
Is that so? I clearly warned you.
Antagondals didnt try to dissuade him further.
It wasnt his business anyway, and it would be quite entertaining to watch the Wardanaz family boy get caught while trying to escape.
You wouldnt betray my name if you got caught, would you? Youre an Einroguard student who knows honor.
If you keep asking such ominous questions, I might.
After Antagondals finished his preparations, Lee Han quickly scribbled a letter.
This wasnt a message to Diret, but a letter left for the insane doppelganger.
To Master.
Im leaving briefly to research magic.
From your disciple.
This was an excuse prepared for later.
The content was a bit short, but Lee Han had no choice due to lack of time.
-Junior. Are you ready?
-Yes!
-Good. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Kwaaaaaaaaaang-!
A collision of magical power so strong that any mage could feel it shook the entire mountain range.
It was a shock that might be felt when world collided with world.
Antagondals, who had been inwardly sneering, was startled.
What?!
Surprisingly, cracks appeared in the grand magic the insane doppelganger had cast over the mountain range.
As collapse rapidly progressed through those gaps, the insane doppelganger transformed into black magical power and shot up into the air.
From his urgent movements, it seemed even the insane doppelganger hadnt expected this situation.
Then!
Antagondals moved as promised with the Wardanaz family boy.
If he could just get this disciple out, it would be to his advantage.
Along with intense magical movement, light burst forth from between the silver mask.
When the light struck the already cracked grand magic, new cracks appeared.
One, two, three
Hes coming!
Antagondals realized the insane doppelganger suspected his interference and was flying over to catch him.
This is where we part ways, mage. Let us meet again on the path of evil!
Pop!
As Antagondals cast several teleportation spells to escape from his position, the insane doppelganger tried to block the magical cracks with one hand while attempting to somehow catch Antagondals with the other.
Lee Han tried not to be distracted by the dazzling movements unfolding in the air and quickly ran out.
Finally!
If he missed this opportunity, he could really be trapped in the workshop even after the semester ended. Lee Han ran with desperate resolve.
***
A, an artifact of this level of power?!
Well, Saint Iacutus mmph mmph.
Student Diret. Where is student Lee Han right now?
His current position is
Mmph mmph? Mmph mmph mmph?
Professor Beeble. This isnt the time for jokes, okay? Be quiet!
Professor Garcia, whose nerves had sharpened, threatened while scattering killing intent.
Professor Verdus cowered while reading the situation.
Sorry. Whats wrong?
That griffin that flew over there looks like Wardanazs griffin
Why are you telling us this now!
Gack. Gack gack.
While shaking her colleague professor in all directions, Professor Garcia belatedly remembered Lee Hans griffin.
Come to think of it, there was a beast that could quickly find its master even in this situation.
You saw it!? You saw?! I said if I were a griffin, I could break through!
Gainando cheered and shouted from atop the griffin.
However, the other friends all had tense expressions.
No matter how they thought about it, a griffins power couldnt have broken through magic of this level.
Why exactly did the magic break?
Im not sure. Did the principal come?
Everyone be quiet. What are you going to do by worrying about that now? Just focus on finding Wardanazs child and getting him out!
Mo, Moradi. The sky over there is melting
Its Einroguard, so sometimes the sky might melt! Shut up and just search!
Uh okay.
The 2nd year students pretended not to see the surreal scene of the sky melting and magic scattering in all directions, bowing their heads deeply and staring intently only at the mountain range.
