This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Fine. Lets go.Are you sure itll be alright?
Lee Han, who had asked the question, realized belatedly.
Ah. Youre going there to attack him.
Come to think of it, that wasnt bad.
Ragesa would get her revenge, and Lee Han and the upperclassmen would get to watch Professor Verdus get attacked.
It would be a happy time for everyone.
I dont know why I tried to stop this.
The Staff Materials and Magic Amplification lecture would be filled with rare laughter and applause.
What are you talking about? I wont do that.
However, contrary to Lee Hans expectations, Ragesa showed a negative reaction.
What? Youre not going to attack him?
No matter how much I want to tie an anchor to that bastard Verduss ankle and throw him into the sea, I wont interfere with students lectures. Its already miserable enough being stuck in Einroguard, so it would be terrible if their lectures were disrupted too.
At the kind pirates words, Lee Han thought to himself.
Shes being unnecessarily considerate.
The students would actually want their lectures to be disrupted.
Especially the Divination Magic Guild students even more so
You can attack him, you know? The upperclassmen would love it.
What nonsense are you talking? Even if I want to beat up that bastard Verdus, still!
Though Ragesa knew Einroguard fairly well, she couldnt have predicted that Professor Verdus pursued extreme free-style lectures.
How could she predict that the lecture content was stealing the professors research materials?
Im serious Then why are you going?
Do you only have attacks on your mind, you brat? Im going to observe. To see how that bastard Verdus teaches. If he teaches well, maybe my anger will cool down a bit.
Ragesa clicked her tongue disapprovingly as she spoke.
Even now, just thinking about Professor Verdus made her stomach burn because of the wasted gold coins, but she thought seeing him teach his disciples might make her feel a bit better.
At least she could think that her gold coins werent completely useless.
Hmm. Shes going to attack him.
Lee Han was certain.
The moment they arrived at the lecture hall, Ragesa would immediately attack!
Ragesa. Do you really think Professor Verdus will teach well?
I know exactly what youre thinking, brat. But Im not expecting that bastard Verdus to teach like Garcia! That would be an unreasonable expectation. Its enough if hes improved from the last time I saw him.
Ragesas standards became quite lenient when it came to Professor Verdus.
Lee Han guessed the reason was probably because being too strict would only give her a headache.
What was it like when you saw him last time?
Last time I saw him, he said he didnt want to lecture and sent his disciples to other schools.
***
However, surprisingly, Lee Hans prediction was wrong.
Professor Verdus wasnt in the lecture hall.
Where did Professor Verdus go?
Hes not coming today because of assassination threats? Well, with so many outsiders around, there could be assassins. Senior Yukveltire will lecture instead.
A nearby upperclassman kindly explained.
Lee Han was slightly impressed by that explanation.
No wonder hes survived this long!
He felt like his long-standing question of How is Professor Verdus still alive with so many enemies? was partially answered.
Who would have thought hed skip lectures in preparation for Ragesas attack.
That sneaky bastard, really!
Of course, from Ragesas perspective, this was absurd.
She had come to see how he taught, only to have him skip the lecture entirely.
If he had this kind of creativity, he should use it for his research instead of skipping lectures.
Its fine, Ragesa. The lecture will run well even without the professor.
It might even run better.
Of course itll run well. Anyone among these students would teach better than that bastard Verdus!
Who is this person saying such nice things?
One of the upperclassmen whispered to Lee Han.
At first he wondered why a pirate had entered the lecture hall, but her encouraging words were quite pleasant to hear.
This is Ragesa, Torgerds Daughter, Admiral of the Southern Privateering Fleet.
Oh?! The person who invested in Professor Verdus?!
There are many other good titles, but why do you remember her by that one
As soon as he finished speaking, the students in the lecture hall swarmed over.
Greetings, Ragesa. Im Baruglioz from the Elvali family
I have some research Ive been working on
Reading the intense greed in the students eyes, Ragesa growled menacingly in warning.
Know that Ill smash the heads of all you brats who came here thinking Im easy prey just because I invested in that bastard Verdus.
All the students quickly fled. Ragesa took a sniff of tobacco and spat out curses.
I swear, coming to Einroguard never puts me in a good mood!
Well then, lets start the lecture.
Yukveltire, who had been checking the time, spoke up. Unlike when Professor Verdus was there, the students in the lecture hall eagerly raised their hands.
Senior. I have a question. Im trying to put ruthenium alloy in my staff, but magic keeps bouncing off when I cast spells. Why is this happening
When using metal in staffs, you must perfectly understand that metals properties. Metals dont have good compatibility with certain types of magic. If magic bounced off ruthenium alloy, it must be wind elemental magic. Either put restrictions on the magic or add metal to mitigate it.
Senior. What do you think is wrong with my staff? I asked Professor Verdus several times and barely got an answer, but he just said it was trash.
Design. Youre accumulating mana at the bottom but dissipating it at the top. Its counterproductive.
What?
Lee Han was shocked.
He had expected Yukveltire to teach like Verdus, but she was a much better teacher than he thought.
Even when his friends said Senior Yukveltire teaches well, doesnt she?, he had firmly believed there must have been some mistake
Amazing. No, actually Professor Verdus was the really strange one.
Perhaps because Professor Verdus was so insincere, even Yukveltires ordinary responses seemed more impressive.
To be fair, Yukveltire wasnt like Professor Garcia, showing individual interest in students and casting warm glances at them.
But just answering the underclassmens questions like that was impressive enough for Einroguards Divination Magic Guild.
Indeed, the other upperclassmen were throwing questions left and right as if they were determined to learn properly today.
I see! Thats right. Senior. I made a prototype temporarily, could you evaluate it once? How is it?
Poorly made.
When his masterpiece, made with all his heart and soul, was dismissed in two words, the students face was colored wih shock.
Then friends who knew Yukveltire well whispered beside him.
Hey, you idiot. Only ask necessary questions to that senior. Youll just get insulted otherwise.
Just because she answers questions well doesnt mean shes Professor Garcia. Think of her as Professor Verdus with added features.
Isnt that going too far?
Lee Han thought to himself.
Of course, Lee Han couldnt completely deny that Senior Yukveltire was like a small Verdus, but still, Professor Verdus with added features
It doesnt seem completely wrong either
Ask your question.
Yukveltire stood in front of Lee Han and gestured for him to ask a question.
Right now, she was moving according to the lecture content she had prepared in advance. The next junior needed to ask questions in the proper order.
Ah. Yes. Hello, Senior. Im currently preparing a staff that can unlock the seal of a high-level spirit and withstand even stronger output. Im also considering metal materials, and so far Ive gotten to this point
Lee Han took out a paper with staff blueprints drawn on it.
It had the Ice Giant Kings blue gemstone, a Space Teleportation Stone, and an Echo Stone embedded one by one, with the Wood Spirits authority written in various places.
Authority of Recovery (Mana Recovery) What if I just put in obsidian so I can consume more mana?
Authority of Life (Plant Growth) Need rare wood. Lets check Professor Verdus storehouse.
Authority of Resilience (Staff Durability) Says he needs to face stronger enemies. Hes insane.
Hey. I told you to only ask necessary questions.
A senior nearby whispered worriedly.
Given Yukveltires personality, if you rambled on like that saying Im doing this research, insulting expressions would immediately come back.
-I told you to ask questions, not recite your life story.
-Why are you talking about things no one asked about?
You had to ask only the necessary questions precisely the moment you started unnecessary talk, personal attacks would begin.
But I need advice
Just ask us instead. If you dont want your life negated.
So?
?!
The students next to Lee Han were startled by Yukveltires reaction.
They expected her to immediately start talking about intelligence, but she actually asked So? back.
I wanted to seek advice overall.
Putting in obsidian could be called an interesting attempt. Originally, putting mana-absorbing materials in a staff is close to taboo, but there are exceptional cases. This gemstone was given by the Ice Giant King?
Yes.
How did you receive it?
That story would be too long.
Then tell me later. Who made this Echo Stone?
Thats
Unlike usual, Yukveltire patiently listened to her juniors story.
Naturally, it was because the story was much more interesting than usual.
But she thought of it differently.
Diret. Im taking care of my junior like this.
She was showing kindness to her junior as Diret had said. From Yukveltires perspective, this was really a huge concession.
If Diret heard about this later, he should shed tears of gratitude.
Try making a prototype with this combination.
Yukveltire quickly wielded her quill pen and proposed a method.
It was quite a radical proposal for a staff. Based on obsidian, a mana-absorbing stone, it was a staff equipped with a vessel that could withstand even when powerful ancient spirits awakened.
The problem was that it would consume tremendous amounts of mana, but Yukveltire wasnt particularly worried about that part.
Her junior would handle it well on his own!
Thank you, Senior.
Right. Of course you should be grateful.
While Lee Han made a displeased expression, Ragesa nodded from behind and stood up.
It seems I misjudged someone. I had prejudice thinking she was Verduss disciple. This is much better.
Hello, Lady Ragesa. Im only happy that youve realized it now.
Yukveltire spoke calmly.
The other students in the lecture hall were amazed by her appearance.
Shes really not an ordinary crazy person!
Maybe she was just speaking kindly to us.
Since she wasnt interested, she must have spoken to that degree to her juniors and ended it there.
Seeing her speak like that in front of an external investor was simply amazing.
Right. A masters affairs are the masters affairs, so they have nothing to do with the disciple!
Thats correct. Then let me tell you once more what I need
Senior, Senior! Ill speak on your behalf instead, so please tell me!
Unable to watch any longer, Lee Han finally stopped Yukveltire and blocked her way.
