Chapter 864

What did I do wrong to my junior?

Diret thought for a moment.

Of course, last week his junior had been forced to learn Skeleton Golem Summoning due to a small misunderstanding.

But that was done with good intentions. Someone with a kind heart like his junior should have shown some understanding.

Right?

Im sorry, Senior.

Lee Han quickly approached and whispered in a small voice.

Lee Han could guess how shocked Diret must be right now.

He had brought two professors into the lecture hall

You must have been surprised when the professors entered the lecture hall.

Uh. I was more surprised by the dragon actually.

Diret was shocked at his juniors attitude of treating the dragon as natural. Lee Han awkwardly tried to explain.

Im sorry. I thought the professors would be more shocking.

Is that person His Majesty?

Yes.

Lee Han explained why Jowurin had come and why the professors had come along, reading his seniors expression.

Diret unexpectedly accepted it readily.

Having a dragon roam around Einroguard wasnt an easy matter.

Well, it might be better for the professors to accompany him.

I thought it might be a bit of an overreaction.

Huh? Absolutely not. There are so many crazy guys, so its right to go together.

Lee Han was momentarily speechless at Direts absolute distrust of the underclassmen.

Meanwhile, conversation was happening behind them.

A dark magic lecture! Jowurin is so excited!

Thats right, Your Majesty. Contrary to common misconceptions, dark magic has a lineage that has been passed down for a very long time, you could say its the orthodox tradition of ancient magic. Moreover, Student Diret is one of the most outstanding talents among Einroguard students.

Professor Garcia raised expectations even higher. Jowurins large eyes sparkled like stars.

Wow! Like Gonadaltes?

Thats right.

Diret broke out in cold sweat at the conversation he could hear behind him.

Professor Garcia was one thing, but why was Professor Boladi saying such things?

What do you mean like the Principal

Senior, cheer up. Ill help you.

Yeah. Thanks. But junior.

Yes?

Go sit over there.

Seeing Lee Han standing next to the podium ready to help, Diret spoke as if dumbfounded.

His junior was someone who listened to lectures, not someone who gave them.

Why was he standing beside him trying to help?

Oops.

Lee Han realized his mistake and returned to his seat. Jowurin pulled Lee Han into a hug like a doll with his front paws.

Seeing his junior suffering from frustration, Diret apologized inwardly.

Sorry, junior. Im just a mere student.

Diret lacked the courage to boldly tell the professors and high-ranking imperial family not to torment his junior.

First, the Poison, Bone, Blood lecture is an advanced lecture on several elements that are frequently used in dark magic but whose importance is easily forgotten.

Student Diret, dont mind us and proceed comfortably.

Think of us as not being here.

Diret felt frustrated.

If they really wanted him not to mind them, the three should have waited outside!

Last week we learned skeleton golem summoning, junior.

Skeleton golem summoning?

Professor Boladi looked at Lee Han and asked. Lee Han, completely trapped between Jowurins front paws with restricted movement, nodded with difficulty.

Yes.

I see.

What do you mean you see?

Lee Han flinched at the sound of Professor Boladi scribbling notes with his quill pen.

If he hadnt been trapped between Jowurins front paws, he would have checked what was being written.

You taught skeleton golem summoning when its still the first semester? Student Diret, even if its Student Lee Han, youre being too harsh on your junior.

No, thats

Diret felt wronged.

He hadnt taught it he had thrown it out as a way to take a break and relax, but his junior had somehow managed to complete it within the lecture time!

Youre right I think I was a bit harsh on my junior

What does even if its Student Lee Han mean?

Jowurin asked curiously. Professor Boladi kindly answered.

Outstanding students need teaching appropriate to their level.

Ah! Like how Professor Bagrek used to hit Lee Han all the time?

That never happened.

Professor Garcia looked at Professor Boladi as if dumbfounded.

More than that, he couldnt believe Prince Jowurin knew about that. There were already many false rumors about Einroguard, and he suddenly became worried they might spread further.

Ahem. So, Student Diret. Next week is midterm exams How is the Poison, Bone, Blood lecture progressing?

Ah, about that.

Diret hesitated.

Actually, for the Poison, Bone, Blood midterm exam, he was planning to let the student choose a topic they wanted and then have them learn one magic spell of appropriate difficulty.

The problem was that Skeleton Golem Summoning was more than sufficient as a midterm exam topic.

He was already planning to have his junior summon it again moderately and pass the exam with that

But with two professors and even a dragon in front of him, he felt self-conscious.

But Professor Garcia would understand, right?

Even if not the other two, he believed Professor Garcia would definitely take his side. Wasnt he also someone who took courses from all schools?

Actually, this is what I was planning to do.

Professor Garcia listened attentively with a serious expression to Direts explanation.

Unexpectedly, Professor Garcia didnt readily agree. Of course, he knew Lee Han was having a hard time, but separately from that, Diret might have to take responsibility later.

Given the Skeleton Principals personality, he might find fault and send him to the punishment room, so he had to judge carefully.

Diret going into the room next to Professor Verdus.

Just thinking about it was absurd.

Sounds good.

Professor Garcia once again looked at Professor Boladi as if dumbfounded.

This professor really!

Professor!

?

What will you do if the Principal finds fault later?

That doesnt seem likely.

Of course, I dont think its likely either Student Diret, I think it should be fine.

Professor Garcia suspected inwardly.

Could it be that Diret wasnt worried because he wasnt Professor Boladis disciple?

Someone who never had a disciple becomes even scarier once they get one

Then its all decided, right? Lee Han, Lee Han! Show me the skeleton golem!

Jowurin urged him while forcefully crushing the telekinetic defense barrier Lee Han had wrapped around his body.

Seeing this, Lee Han once again thought how fortunate it was that he ad learned telekinetic magic.

The insane doppelganger was actually helpful after all. Wait. Isnt this Stockholm syndrome?

Please wait. Ill summon it.

For Lee Han too, being able to reduce his midterm exam lectures in advance was very welcome news.

At first, he had worried about how he would endure all these lectures, but if he could reduce them like this first, things might become much easier.

If Advanced Illusion Magic and Spirit Theory, Wand Materials and Magic Amplification, Terribly Beautiful Creatures lectures are removed from the exam, and additionally Poison, Bone, Blood lecture is removed Professor Garcias lecture, Understanding Intermediate Combat Magic, Elemental Magic and Its Applications, Divination Magic That Drives You Mad, One Drop of Potion Instead of Complex Magic, Sword and Life, The Empires Languages That Become Your Flesh and Blood, Ancient Relics and the Tragic History of Summoning Magic, From Caterpillars to Dragons, A Mages Life with Plants, Practical Healing Magic, Spirit, Energy, Mind Hmm. I should stop thinking about this.

Lee Han, who had been calculating the remaining lectures, quickly stopped.

He had a premonition that if he calculated further, severe damage would come to his own soul.

Move!

After taking out the bones of a large monster enhanced with dark elements and blood elements, Lee Han cast the incantation along with the process and gave the command.

Then the bones transformed and settled into a large summoned creature. It was a medium-sized skeleton golem enhanced with dark elements and blood elements.

Jowurin clapped and praised.

Magnificent!

Well made.

Not bad.

At the praise from the dragon and two professors, not only Lee Han but also Diret secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since there was only one student, the evaluation of the lecture would directly depend on that one persons assessment.

Lee Han! Lee Han! Make it move forward!

Yes. Yes.

Ancient dark magic summoning, where the mage directly constructed commands rather than contracts and summoning, had the advantage of being able to handle such miscellaneous tasks without complaint.

Jowurin was overjoyed to see the skeleton golem emitting dark red energy.

After only seeing species much smaller than herself, she finally had an opponent of a size she could play with.

Lee Han! Jowurin will knock down that bad guy!

Oh my. I trust only Your Majesty.

Along with flattery, Lee Han delicately controlled the skeleton golem.

Since he absolutely couldnt harm Jowurin, the skeleton golem had to pretend to attack while delicately letting itself lose.

Whoosh whoosh-

As the skeleton golem threw punches into the air, Jowurin quickly spread her wings and dodged.

Lee Han didnt notice because he was concentrating, but Professor Boladi made additional notes.

Reaction speed top grade.

Dragons were an extremely rare species in the Empire, and each individual varied greatly. Since they could grow significantly and change in just one day, their condition had to be carefully assessed.

Only then would there be no accidents when his disciple fought the dragon.

Jowurins strike!

Jowurin shouted a cool technique name and swung her front paw.

Thinking it was about time, Lee Han offered the golems chest directly instead of defending or evading.

Although it was based on large monster bones and strengthened by feeding it dark elements and blood elements, it couldnt block the claws of a dragon that possessed mysterious and powerful magic.

Crack!

With a loud noise, the skeleton golem collapsed. Jowurin flapped her wings and shouted.

Lee Han! Jowurin knocked down the bad guy!

Your Majesty is truly the future of the Empire!

My junior seems too skilled at flattery.

Diret thought to himself.

Professors aside, to think he could win the favor of high-ranking royalty like this.

He couldnt guess what Lee Han was planning to do later.

Was he planning to become the Principal of Einroguard?

Jowurin seemed to have enjoyed wrestling with the skeleton golem just now, as she looked at Lee Han and carefully spoke up.

Jowurin wants to compete again

Shall I summon it? Its not particularly difficult.

Really?!

Since it could be continuously summoned as long as he had mana, it wasnt particularly difficult. When Lee Han nodded, Jowurin screamed with joy and tried to hug him.

Ugh. I need to make my telekinesis stronger in the future.

Lee Hans barrier screamed under the dragons strength that grew stronger with happiness.

Oh! Cant you make this bad guy sturdier?

Hmm. It would be difficult with my current level.

The large monster bones Diret had given him were already strengthened to nearly their limit thanks to Lee Han directly infusing them with dark elements and blood elements.

Such enhancement wasnt infinitely possible. Naturally, it was only possible within the limits of the materials.

He would need to find better reagents than large monster bones, or Lee Han would need to learn methods to magically improve efficiency.

After hearing the explanation, Jowurins eyes sparkled again as she spoke.

Jowurin has a good method!

What is it?

Here!

Jowurin extended her front paw and spread it out. There was an unfamiliar material there.

What is this?

Jowurins tooth!

Lee Hans face turned pale.
