Chapter 811

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

How can one person possibly be a 4th year, 5th year, and 6th year at the same time? Dont you find this strange?

Hmm. Indeed, rumors are not to be trusted. If one is a cultured noble

Its not about culture, its about intelligence No, never mind.

Galar caught himself mid-sentence.

He still hadnt broken his habits from when he belonged to the mage tower.

This required reflection.

I am no longer a mage belonging to a tower. I must abandon my pride.

Hadnt he suffered countless times because of this very pride?

-Excuse me, Mage sir. Wed like you to leave our party.

-What What did you say!? Do you think a party like yours could find a mage like me!? Why are you spouting such nonsense?

-Its because of that exact attitude! When you keep muttering idiots behind our backs every time we do something, how can we fight risking our lives?

-That was simply pointing out facts

-Enough. Heres our partys new mage. We hit it off at the inn yesterday. Hes a talent who can cast a whole 2 first-circle spells.

-Thats not even a proper mage! Hes worse than a magic parrot! Even a magic parrot is better than that

-Anyway, please leave quickly. If you dont, well call the guards!

Thanks to several bitter experiences, Galar had gained enlightenment.

How difficult it was to earn gold coins himself!

It must be a 6th year, right?

I think its probably a 6th year. Theres a small chance it could be a 5th year Wait, where are those guys going?

The Baldrogard students belatedly realized something was wrong.

The Kalarograd students who had been there just moments ago were fleeing far into the distance.

Where are you going! Our duel isnt over yet!

Its over, you morons.

Galar grumbled internally.

Anyone could see it was a duel that was finished from the start

One of the fleeing Kalarograd students stopped and shouted.

Baldro bastards. I dont like you, but as a fellow Empire magic school student, Ill tell you this. Run!

What?

Wait, didnt he just call us Baldro bast

Run! Thats ancient forbidden magic! You dont know what might happen to you if you stay here!

With those final words, the Kalarograd students scurried away.

Lee Han quickly made excuses.

I have it well under control! Dont worry!

The Baldrogard students lacked talent in magic, but that didnt make them stupid in other areas.

Just the fact that they didnt enroll in Einroguard showed they had excellent instincts for pursuing the happiest life as a mage.

As such, the Baldrogard students sensitively picked up on the unsettling nature of this situation.

Is it really well controlled? Considering the rumors about the Wardanaz Family and the testimonies about that boy, this situation looks quite dangerous.

I agree. That magic looks very dangerous.

When even Galar agreed, the Baldrogard students boldly made their decision.

Retreat!

Lee Han watched the students withdraw like a receding tide and called out in a regretful voice.

Everyone! I told you I have it well under control! If youd listen to my explanation, youd understand! Actually, I didnt cast this magic because I wanted to

Hmm! All the more suspicious! Everyone, dont look back!

I underestimated the Baldrogard students!

He had thought he could convince the Baldrogard students even if not the Kalarograd ones, but that wasnt the case.

Despite lacking magical skill, the Baldrogard students knew when to run.

Ugh.

Lee Han lamented internally.

He was worried that strange rumors might spread for no reason.

No. The Kalarograd students are all antisocial, and other magic school students will hate all the Baldrogard students, so rumors wont spread that much.

Lee Han somehow pulled himself together.

Of course, the problem of rumors spreading within Kalarograd and Baldrogard still remained, but Lee Han subtly glossed over that.

Letting those trash run away like that. And even with royalty giving orders, taking this long is shameful.

The Insane Doppelganger lightly scolded, unaware of Lee Hans inner thoughts.

Lee Han glared at the Insane Doppelganger.

Come to think of it, if this Insane Doppelganger hadnt made a fuss about casting magic to teach them a lesson, it would have ended pleasantly with just a fight between Kalarograd and Baldrogard.

Understood. Please go back in now.

This Black Emperor Crowns characteristic brings control over nearby undead. Especially against undead summoning dark mages

How do I turn this off?

With the Insane Doppelganger ignoring his disciples words and explaining the characteristics of the newly summoned Black Emperor Crown, Lee Han carefully examined the Echo Stone embedded at the tip of his staff.

The Insane Doppelganger stopped explaining mid-sentence and said.

You wont be able to grasp the structure inside with your senses yet, so dont touch it carelessly

Pop!

The illusion disappeared simultaneously with those words.

Lee Han looked at the Echo Stone with a bewildered expression.

He had tentatively extended his mana like thread to touch a specific part inside, and luckily it had turned off.

The Insane Doppelganger evaluated Lee Hans talent quite highly.

But he still lacked understanding of the obsession shown in certain situations.

Hmm. I should keep it off for a while.

Lee Han left the staff alone, planning to claim he had turned it off by accident when they talked later.

***

Iaktus: Hey. I heard someone cast forbidden ancient magic on other magic school students this time?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Excellent!

Iaktus: Whats excellent about it!

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Why? Dont you want to do that too, Iaktus?

For Einroguard upperclassmen, casting ancient forbidden magic on other magic school students was something that earned admiration, not criticism.

After graduation, other magic school students would ultimately be competitors anyway.

They would have to engage in bloody battles within the Empires magical academia to steal funding, so establishing ones name and reputation first was excellent.

This was a brilliant preemptive strike.

Given time and opportunity, any other student would have cast ancient forbidden magic to widely spread their name.

But why was Iaktus showing such a reaction?

Iaktus: I should have been the one to do it!

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Ah. I understand. Its early in the semester, so there wasnt enough time to prepare. How could they cast such magic?

Iaktus: They must have been preparing since last year. Whoever it is, theyre a cunning bastard!

Unbreakable One: Wait. How about we all reconsider? Sure, you might gain brief fame by bringing out ancient forbidden magic. But isnt a mage who steadily researches and publishes magic to build achievements a truly great mage?

Iaktus: No.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: I dont think so.

Lee Han watched the Watchman Clubs conversation with a complicated expression.

Apart from Unbreakable One freezing the conversations atmosphere, it seemed rumors were spreading faster than expected.

Fortunately, since it wasnt the same magic school, Lee Hans name didnt seem to have come up

Iaktus: So who is it? This enviable bastard?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: From what I heard, there were rumors it was a 5th or 6th year

!

At that moment, a wicked inspiration flashed through Lee Han.

Gonadaltes: Heh. I know who it is.

Iaktus: Ooh! Evil friend! Who is it, who?

Gonadaltes: Normally Id demand payment, but Ill tell you this much for free. Its the 5th year from Blue Dragon Tower, top student of Buyeo Magic School, descendant of great bloodline, Yukebeltirada.

Iaktus: !

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: !

Unbreakable One: !!!!!

Iaktus: Unbreakable One. One exclamation mark is enough. Ive been curious about this for a while, but why do you use so many?

Unbreakable One: Just for emphasis?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Thats not whats important right now. Yukveltire? Shes definitely a 5th year. Thats strange.

Gonadaltes: Whats strange about it?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: From what I heard, shes supposedly skilled in black magic.

Gonadaltes: Thats also explainable. In Yukveltires case, shes close friends with Diret, a 5th year student from Black Magic Academy.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Close friends?

Iaktus: Really? I dont think so. Just like Professor Verdus has no friends, his disciple has no friends either.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: I agree. Their relationship is closer to Professor Garcia and Professor Verduss relationship, right? Professor Garcia is kind enough to look after Professor Verdus. But if you ask whether theyre close, even Professor Garcia would throw a punch at you.

Unbreakable One: Professor Garcia isnt that kind of person though

Lee Han grumbled at the unexpectedly nitpicky reaction and changed his approach.

Gonadaltes: Just get the gist of it. Anyway, the point is they have a relationship. That explains the black magic skills.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: I see. That bastard Yukveltire might have stolen it.

Iaktus: Or maybe she extorted it.

Unbreakable One: Maybe she held out in the workshop until they helped her

Did you all get slapped by Senior Yukveltire or something?

Of course, Lee Han, who had just thrown his own infamy onto his senior, wasnt one to talk, but their reactions were colder than expected.

But it couldnt be helped.

Senior. Im sorry. But this is Einroguard, isnt it.

Lee Han was acting according to what he had learned from Yukveltire.

Bakwantalana: What were you all talking about? What does maybe she held out in the workshop until they helped her mean?

Bakwantalana, who arrived late, seemed to have only seen the last sentence before the conversation disappeared.

Lee Han kindly explained.

Gonadaltes: We were saying that the person who showed forbidden magic to the external magic school students was Yukveltire.

Bakwantalana: Thats not right? What are you talking about?

Iaktus: What? Its not? Then who is it?

Bakwantalana: I havent confirmed who it is yet, but its not Yukveltire. Definitely

Gasp.

Lee Han was flustered.

Who would have thought there was someone who knew the truth!

But even while panicking, Lee Han immediately went on the counterattack. Originally, in situations like this, the person who reacted slowly was the one who lost.

Gonadaltes: Well, if you dont want to believe it, dont. I generously shared information without even asking for payment, and now Im just getting blindly denied. Its quite upsetting.

Iaktus: Whoa, whoa. Calm down, friend. Bakwantalana probably didnt mean it badly.

Gonadaltes: I think Bakwantalana is a bit jealous of Yukveltire. He doesnt want to watch Yukveltire gain such glory. Still, isnt blindly denying it a bit too much?

Bakwantalana: What! Thats not it!

Gonadaltes: Everyone, think carefully about what I said. Really, in this Einroguard, during club week, how many people would be capable of showing forbidden magic to external magic school students? Hm? Dont you find my argument convincing? Its that very Yukveltire!

Lee Han cleverly appealed to emotions.

Indeed, the other club members, who apparently had feelings about Yukveltire, immediately fell for it.

Iaktus: Ill believe Gonadaltess hypothesis. It seems highly likely.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Me too.

Bakwantalana: Then think whatever you want, you idiots. To think these guys are Watchman members makes me sigh.

Unbreakable One: Everyone, dont fight!

Iaktus: Unbreakable One. Stop acting like a bat and pick a side! Is it Gonadaltess hypothesis, or Bakwantalanas hypothesis!

Unbreakable One: I, I well I did think it could be another student

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Who? Stop just saying there is someone and present a name convincingly.

Unbreakable One: Well, if I had to say, Lee Han of Wardanaz Family or

Lee Han got goosebumps for a moment.

As expected, Einroguards upperclassmen were never to be underestimated.

How did his name come up here?

Iaktus: Hey. Hes a 2nd year.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Are you an idiot?

Gonadaltes: Good grief. What nonsense. I cant believe Im hearing such things.

Iaktus: Gonadaltes, you need to be patient. Theres been a lot of strange talk today.
