Feeling the pouring gazes, Agdung quickly changed the subject.

Then shall we all set off to the mushroom field together? Haha! The weather is so clear, isnt it?

But theres no sunlight here?

Gainando had never seen anyone say the weather was clear near the Dark Tower before.

Even cheerful people usually say they feel gloomy when they come near the Dark Tower

By dark magic standards, its clear!

???

Lets go! Lets go!

Watching Agdungs back as he ran ahead, Gainando whispered to Lee Han.

Lee Han. People from Callarogard seem a bit strange.

That might be true

***

Yoner and Siana, who had been waiting after completing their potion, were surprised by the visit from the Callarogard student.

You scattered spores in this mushroom field 11 years ago?!

Shouldnt we ask about him being a skeleton first?

Siana muttered that, but the topic quickly moved on.

Thats right. The professor and the upperclassmen were looking for a good place back then and discovered that mushroom field.

At the words of the upperclassman from another magic school, Lee Han and his friends whispered among themselves.

Then doesnt the ownership of this field actually belong to them?

Will the upperclassmen listen?

Hes a guest from another magic school, so surely they wont just stubbornly refuse. And he has several pieces of evidence.

Lee Han pointed to the scroll that Agdung had brought.

It was a scroll recording the location of the mushroom field, the types of mushroom spores scattered at that time, dates, and so on.

We worked hard to complete the Arkans Ferocious Beast Potion, so how about using this potion? If we dont use it today, the effects will disappear.

Siana showed reluctance, seemingly disappointed that she couldnt use the potion she had worked hard to complete.

However, all the friends (including Yoner) agreed to try peaceful negotiation first. Siana grumbled.

These people dont even know how difficult it is to make potions!

Im really sorry, Priest Siana of the Plemang Order. But since I came as a guest from Callarogard, I want to avoid fighting if possible. The potion the priest made looks really amazing, so Id like to try it once, but

Then it cant be helped.

Siana quickly forgave him at the other partys praise. Yoner, who was listening nearby, asked in confusion.

Are there rules at Callarogard like prohibiting fights with other magic schools?

Ah. Theres nothing like that, but if you fight with Einroguard students, you usually get miserably beaten.

Lee Han and his friends felt unnecessarily sorry for the atrocities committed by their seniors seniors.

We, were sorry.

What are you sorry for? Its not like you did it!

Agdung waved his hands dismissively and stepped forward. Following behind him, Yoner said.

Despite his appearance, he seems like a kind person?

It seems so. But his attitude toward me is a bit different. There must have been some bad incident with the Wardanaz Family.

Oh dear. It would be good if there was a chance to talk about it.

At Yoners words, Lee Han nodded.

If only there was a chance to talk sincerely, he was confident he could clear up the Wardanaz Familys bad reputation.

Actually, the demon is just like a porter

What, why are there so many?

The upperclassman guarding the mushroom field was slightly flustered by the sight of students flocking over.

Moreover, one of them even seemed to be a student from another magic school.

Are you perhaps from Callarogard?

Thats right. Im called Agdung from Callarogard.

Oh Nice to meet you. From your appearance, it seems youre researching converting human bodies to undead.

?!!

Lee Hans friends were shocked.

Was that research so famous that you could tell just by looking?

Thats correct. Im pleased that you recognize it.

Ive read about it in the Imperial Magic Journal. But what brings you here?

Actually, I came here because of this mushroom field.

Agdung presented the materials he had brought as evidence like a polite skeleton gentleman, explaining his claim.

At the powerful claim that might overturn the mushroom field ownership dispute from its very foundation, the upperclassmans face wavered.

Th, this! Who would have thought there was such a hidden story!

I ask for your wise decision.

I need to discuss this with the other students for a moment. Would you come with me?

The upperclassman tried to gather the students waiting near the mushroom field with a serious face.

It seemed they would need to discuss ownership again.

Yes. These underclassmen here too

That wont do.

The upperclassman firmly refused.

Why not?! If these students hadnt guided me, I wouldnt have been able to come here

Regardless of that, information about this mushroom field cannot be disclosed to outsiders.

The upperclassman was thorough, befitting an Einroguard student.

While they might let the Callarogard student participate since he was a party involved, there was no reason to let the underclassmen who were outsiders participate as well.

Even if they let them participate, they would likely just thoroughly gather information about the mushroom field and then use it for theft, so they absolutely couldnt let their guard down.

What! Even so, thats too much Im going to return anyway once this is over. After that, the dark magic school will receive our rights and manage the mushroom field.

Then after todays discussion, when you transfer the rights, you can explain it separately and directly. People without rights cannot participate.

Whats going on?

Two or three upperclassmen from the mushroom field approached in confusion, having heard the commotion.

Agdung appealed about the situation where they wouldnt let the underclassmen who helped him participate.

Does this make sense?

Hmm. Im sorry, but people without rights are a bit difficult to let participate

How can we trust them when they might steal from us or attack us in secret?

Sharp.

Several of Lee Hans friends made guilty expressions.

They had been planning to do exactly what the upperclassmen expected.

Senior Agdung. Were fine. Please participate and claim your rights. We can take care of things later.

Lee Han whispered from behind, but Agdung shook his head and didnt back down.

Please.

We said no. Were already suffering from theft and attacks.

Still!

Whats not allowed is not allowed.

As Agdung kept insisting, even Lee Hans friends found it strange.

Why is he acting like that?

Is there a reason we absolutely must participate?

Well?

The upperclassmen at the mushroom field seemed to be getting frustrated with the continued requests.

You shouldat least bring a reason, how can you just keep asking?

This

This?

Do you know who this person is!!!

????

????????

Lee Han and his friends all turned their gazes in unison following the direction of Agdungs pointing finger.

The upperclassmen also turned their gazes in unison.

Its me?

Lee Han was shocked when he belatedly realized that Agdung was pointing at him. The upperclassmen seemed similarly flustered.

Wh-who is he?

Is he royalty?

Whats so great about royalty? Theres no way hed act like that just because of royalty, right?

While the upperclassmen murmured among themselves, Lee Han urgently tried to stop Agdung.

Mr. Agdung. Why are you doing this? What are you doing right now?

Just wait a moment! Ill convince them.

Agdung, heated up because his persuasion hadnt worked, loosened his necktie and declared.

Of course, Lee Han watching this felt like dying.

Is he a social assassin?

There was no more fatal blow than going in front of upperclassmen and saying Do you know this person is from the Wardanaz Family!

From the upperclassmens perspective, theyd probably think So what?

This person is a disciple of the Empires Archmage! Do you still plan to exclude him knowing that!

For a moment, only silence lingered at words that exceeded everyones expectations. Lee Han was also flustered into silence.

Wasnt it about the Wardanaz Family?

He naturally thought it was because he was from the Wardanaz Family, but it was because of his relationship with the Skeleton Principal.

No. Both are equally troublesome!

Whatever the reason, making a scene in front of upperclassmen couldnt be good.

Lee Han tried to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

Wai!

Uh did we make a mistake?

!

The mushroom field upperclassmens momentum deflated and they began reading the atmosphere.

While Einroguards mages didnt care about royalty or descendants of great imperial families, there was one exception those related to the Skeleton Principal.

If he was truly the Skeleton Principals disciple, they couldnt treat him carelessly no matter how much of a junior he was.

Not because they feared the Skeleton Principal, but because they feared the Skeleton Principals disciple himself might retaliate someday.

How vicious and cruel would that disciple be!

He could remember even such trivial grudges for over a hundred years and come back for revenge.

Hmm. If hes really the Principals disciple But is he really the Principals disciple?

Would someone from Calarograd be mistaken? Wait. Isnt that him? That student taking courses from all schools?

It might actually make sense!

The mushroom field upperclassmen talked among themselves and convinced themselves.

If he was just the Skeleton Principals disciple, they might have thought it was a fake rumor, but hearing he was taking courses from all schools made it seem somewhat plausible.

Upperclassmen. Theres a misunderstanding. While I did travel around with the Principal, strictly speaking, the definition of disciple is

You traveled around together?

Well, by coincidence

At Lee Hans words, the upperclassmen nodded.

And then they all thought simultaneously.

Hes definitely a disciple!

Given the Principals damn personality, if he brought someone along with him, it was right to consider them a disciple.

It was truly surprising.

Please participate, junior!

I trust you wont hold a grudge over todays events! Haha!

Lee Han suffered realizing the rumor that would be added on top of the rumor about taking courses from all schools.

That worked ou No. That worked out well. Haha!

Agdung, thinking he had resolved one issue, laughed brightly while clacking his bones.

He couldnt help but feel proud since he had succeeded in getting the Archmages disciple to participate without damaging his dignity.

Lee Han looked at Agdung with eyes like frost. At that gaze, Agdung sensed something strange and flinched.

Did, did it take too long?

***

Lee Han ultimately couldnt get angry at Agdung.

He couldnt get angry at someone who was treating him well because of the Skeleton Principals notoriety.

Instead, he did his best to persuade him.

-So while I did travel around with him a bit, rather than being a disciple

-Isnt that normally what a disciple is?

Damn. Even though Im saying it myself, it seems unconvincing.

Lee Han lamented inwardly.

Who would have thought that even as he spoke, it would feel unconvincing.

Well, since he himself felt to some degree that he was the Skeleton Principals disciple, the persuasion couldnt go well.

Then well transfer the mushroom field rights in a unified manner.

The upperclassmen checked the evidence from Calarograd and ultimately gave up ownership when they couldnt refute it.

Lee Han asked carefully.

Is it alright? The loss

Its bitter, but originally at Einroguard we experience this level of loss quite often.

Right. Ive sold things through fraud many times too. When buying stuff like this, you buy it accepting all risks.

Lee Han resolved inwardly that if upperclassmen were selling real estate in the future, he should check it a hundred times before buying.

The Black Magic Academy will manage this place on behalf of Calarograd.

When an unfamiliar school they didnt know appeared, the upperclassmen murmured.

If the Black Magic Academy manages it, what happens to the mushroom prices here?

Hmm. If the school doesnt have money, they might raise prices They probably seem poor.

The prices will remain the same. The Black Magic Academy has plenty of money.

Oh!

At Lee Hans declaration, his Black Magic Academy friends cast puzzled looks.

Did we?
