Be quiet. Lowly one.Yes.
When the Insane Doppelganger glared at him, Lee Han immediately shut his mouth.
This is why insignificant mages They seem to know neither the value of truth nor the importance of hardship.
At the ancient archmages lament, Jorzic cautiously offered his opinion.
Excuse me. Archmage sir. Do you know what my goal is?
Should royalty need to know that?
It is to become the next principal of Einroguard.
At this unexpectedly shocking goal, even the Insane Doppelganger looked at Professor Jorzic with slightly surprised eyes.
Since it was a goal that would be difficult to dare pursue without considerable madness, Professor Jorzic was qualified to receive such a look.
Surprising.
As a candidate for the next principal of Einroguard, I have a duty to protect the students.
The Insane Doppelganger asked Lee Han as if he couldnt believe it.
Is he really a candidate?
Um Yes.
Though he didnt hear clearly, Lee Han thought he heard the Insane Doppelganger muttering something like The scum has gone completely insane.
As you know, the academic tradition of ancient magic not only treats disciples harshly but sometimes treats them as expendable, doesnt it? We cant help but suspect that you might consider student Wardanaz as expendable.
How dare you?
Professor Jorzic and Professor Boladi immediately drew their staffs. A strong presence was flowing from the Insane Doppelganger.
Not simply pouring out massive amounts of mana, but the unique presence of an archmage who controlled all surrounding mana while dominating space!
Since I spoke generously, youre showing your insolent true nature. Does the teaching of royalty sound so trivial that it should be passed down to expendables?
The Insane Doppelgangers voice was flat without any variation in pitch, but that made it even more chilling.
An ominous suggestion emanated that this space could turn into a space of death at any moment depending on the opponents words.
But why does he call Lee Han a lowly one?
Jowrin, who had been listening to the conversation while holding the detested Eandurude in her arms, spoke up.
The Insane Doppelganger seemed caught off guard by the dragons sudden intervention and hesitated.
I call him lowly one because he is of lowly status.
But Lee Han is a noble?
Im not talking about bloodline status. Descendant of noble blood.
The Insane Doppelganger explained the customs of ancient mages.
Whether royalty or slave, basically disciples are in a position of learning, so they are lowly beings.
Jowrin was disgusted by the harsh educational environment of ancient times.
Then the criticism about being expendable doesnt seem completely wrong either!
No. Descendant of noble blood. Just because the title is like that doesnt mean expendable
The Insane Doppelganger continued his explanation calmly to Jowrin without showing even a trace of anger.
However, Jowrin was indeed of dragon bloodline.
No matter how many ancient customs and precedents the Insane Doppelganger brought up, she shook her head in denial.
Jowrin doesnt understand! Lee Han is pitiful!
The Insane Doppelganger, who had been trying to persuade her for a while without giving up, finally admitted defeat.
I understand. I will call him disciple. Descendant of noble blood.
Wow!
Lee Han, who had been watching this scene from the side, was even more moved than before.
Your Majesty. I dont think Your Majesty has ever been this proud.
Hehe. Jowrin is Wait. Then youve never been proud before?
Oops.
Before Jowrin could notice the strange point, Professor Jorzic and Professor Boladi intervened.
Your Majesty. Please ask for other things too.
You should also point out dangerous teachings.
Seeing the professors using Jowrin as a shield to say what they wanted, the Insane Doppelganger cast a contemptuous gaze.
The continent was truly a corrupt place. It only got worse with time, never better.
***
After the negotiations (though it was closer to Jowrin being stubborn), several changes occurred.
Lee Hans title changed from lowly one to disciple. It could be called a tremendous change indeed.
Though minor in comparison, the Insane Doppelgangers teaching also changed slightly. He promised not to pass down magic with risk of death for now.
The Insane Doppelganger tried to persuade by citing ancient customs, saying I can just resurrect you, but Jowrin was adamant.
No! Dont! Its painful to die!
Thanks to this, the Insane Doppelganger, who only suffered losses, looked very displeased. Lee Han watched his masters mood.
Lee Han usually didnt care much whether his masters were angry or sad, but if the opponent was the Insane Doppelganger, the story was a bit different.
There was a reason Insane was attached to the front.
Master. Still, Ive had several achievements in the meantime.
The Insane Doppelganger seemed still displeased and ignored him, pretending not to hear.
Lee Han. He seems to be sulking
As Jowrin was the one who sulked most often here, she had an expert eye for distinguishing emotional grudges.
Since he obviously couldnt say Thats right, Lee Han denied it for now.
Hes not sulking. Hes just slightly displeased.
Isnt that the same as sulking?
Shh. Rather, please help me. I need to mention my achievements.
Mmm! I understand!
Jowrin also felt slightly sorry for being stubborn with the Insane Doppelganger, so she nodded up and down.
Look. My staff has been completed like this.
It would have been more powerful if you used a branch of the World Tree. Lowl disciple.
Lee Han found himself missing the days when the Insane Doppelganger coldly showed anger.
Completely ignoring him like this made it extraordinarily difficult to deal with.
Oh right. I also completed one Skeleton Golem.
Reflect on completing it late. To think it took this long to complete just one Skeleton Golem.
While the Insane Doppelganger acted sulky, Professor Jorzic and Professor Boladi had a conversation.
Professor Bagrek. Though cautious, I dare say this. The current magic teaching method of Einroguard seems far superior and refined compared to ancient methods.
I agree.
Even if we learn ancient magic, we probably dont need to reference their teaching methods.
Cant you go talk somewhere else?
The two professors were seriously discussing magic and teaching, but it wasnt very helpful to Lee Han.
Unable to watch anymore, Jowrin came to provide support fire.
Lee Han also got a backpack with space magic and learned magic needed for airship construction!
How very impressive. You could enter a guild workshop and work as a craftsman.
At the Insane Doppelgangers cold voice, Jowrin became dejected.
However, Le Han was puzzled.
Isnt that praise?
No matter how he thought about it, it only sounded like a compliment. For a moment he wondered if the Insane Doppelgangers anger had subsided.
But the Insane Doppelgangers expression was still cold as ice. Lee Han realized he still had a long way to go.
Um I visited the Nine Mountains Eight Seas dimension. I met the Yachaowang and heard stories, and even made a contract with a star
While speaking, Lee Han glanced at his masters mood. It was to check if his anger had subsided even a little.
And Lee Han was shocked.
?!!
The Insane Doppelganger was looking at Lee Han with an expression he had never seen before.
His face was a mixture of shock, admiration, emotion and various other feelings that it was hard to make out properly.
Continue speaking.
Pardon? Thats all I said just now.
Dont you know the word detail? In detail. Speak without leaving out a single thing.
Lee Han felt the pressure that if he didnt speak in detail, he would be turned into a hamster and thrown into a cage with mage criminals. Lee Han quickly explained what had happened in detail.
How he had crossed through the dimensional gate to arrive, how he had met the Yachaowang by chance, and how this Yachaowang had deployed evil trickery (the Insane Doppelganger gestured annoyingly for him to skip this part)
And when he explained even the name of the star he had contracted with, the Insane Doppelganger fell silent for a moment.
You
?
Im proud. You are worthy of being called a disciple.
Lee Han realized one fact.
When the ancient insane archmage was angry or treated him coldly, it was much less terrifying than when he looked at him with deeply moved and expectant eyes.
***
Unlike Lee Hans shock and terror, the Insane Doppelganger became very satisfied and showed kindness to the two professors as well.
He kindly answered Professor Jorzics magic-related questions, and said he would consider Professor Boladis educational criticisms.
But Master. You said you were preparing for intruders?
Ah. Thats right. It was such a trivial matter that I forgot about it.
The two professors didnt particularly object either.
Due to its reputation, Einroguard constantly had intruders appearing. However, among such intruders, very few managed to save their lives and return.
Most couldnt even cross the territorys barriers, and even if they did get in, they would disappear without a trace inside.
Moreover, intruders who came to rescue a single hamsterno, mage criminalfrom this secluded workshop in the mountain range.
From the professors perspective, it was bound to feel trivial.
To protect the workshops belongings, minions are ultimately necessary.
No matter how great an archmage was, they were inevitably vulnerable to thieves who invaded the workshop during their absence.
Even powerful and advanced magic had its loopholes.
It wasnt for nothing that mages kept minions to guard their workshops.
Listening to the story, Lee Han tilted his head and asked.
Still, if Master were to seriously cast magic, wouldnt ordinary people not even dare to attempt an attack?
While invasion might have the advantage, just because you threw Gainando in front of the Principals office where the Skeleton Principal had cast defensive magic didnt mean he could break through.
There were limits to level differences
The Insane Doppelganger said coldly.
Are you telling me to use such magic to protect a single slave?
Ah. Yes.
Lee Han was dumbfounded, but the other two professors showed understanding reactions.
Certainly, wasting secrets for a single mage criminal would be absurd.
If there were such magic, it should be used for the disciple.
Did I really bring these two for no reason.
It seemed like it would have been much better to just bring Jowrin alone.
Shall I stand guard? Prince Jowurin and Eandurude could also join
Have you become arrogant just because you met the Yachaowang and contracted with a star? You wont even have enough time to train in magic.
Then dont call me in the first place.
Lee Han cursed his master inwardly.
Regardless, the Insane Doppelganger continued lecturing.
To think youd try to assign trivial tasks to a descendant of noble blood. How many times must I teach you proper etiquette?
But Jowrin is fine with it?
The Insane Doppelganger pretended not to hear and ignored it. Jowrin pouted.
Its the same with trying to assign work to low-level junior students. They need to learn for several more years.
!
Eandurude looked at Lee Han and Professor Boladi with a shocked expression.
Was his own level really that low?
No, Eandurude. Dont be fooled. Master is just a bit strict.
Youre doing well enough.
The two earnestly comforted Eandurude. Then Lee Han asked again.
Then do you have a good method?
As I said, minions are needed. Then we must find them in this vicinity.
I see. You mean the upperclassmen of Einroguard.
At Lee Hans answer, not only the Insane Doppelganger but even the professors cast shocked looks. Even Professor Boladi looked somewhat surprised.
Uh, isnt that right?
Lee Han Jowrin thinks he means the tribes around this area
The descendant of noble blood is correct. What a pathetic disciple. Various tribes live in this mountain range.
The Einroguard upperclassmen would work hard too if you gave them gold coins
The group ignored Lee Hans words.
Among them, the most suitable tribe is the giants. As a disciple of royalty, Ill give you full authority, so visit the giants together with Intarendals. The giants are rough and untamed people, so you must be extra careful with your attitude. Dont act arrogantly just because you can offer generous compensation. Their anger is never light.
?
Are there perhaps other giants in the mountain range too?
