Chapter 892

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Just as herbivores instinctively sense the approach of predators, Lee Han instinctively sensed the professors sinister scheme.

While it might seem caring at first glance when an Einrogard professor worried about Lee Han, the results were rarely good in the end.

What kind of worry? Perhaps worry about how to creatively defeat me?

Oh. How did you know, junior?

When Catten readily agreed to what Lee Han had said hoping for denial, Lee Han let out a sigh mixed with despair.

Jowrin asked with a pitying tone.

Lee Han. Should Jowrin write a petition to the Empires nobles

Its fine. No. More than that, Professor Ingoldel is really showing his true colors. I thought he was one of the few kind professors at Einrogard!

Professor Boladi showed sympathy at his disciples outcry.

Since there were few kind professors at Einrogard (Professor Boladi naturally included himself), it was only natural for his disciple to say such things.

Junior.

Yes?

I heard that you took your friends to the Spirit Kings domain to solve a simple assignment that came up during class

Thats a misunderstanding.

Lee Han answered without changing his expression at all.

Visiting the Gwangmok Kings domain was something that happened due to coincidences overlapping, not something Lee Han had deliberately aimed for.

Jowrin looked at Lee Han with a strange gaze.

Strangely, lately I keep thinking that Lee Han is reaping what he sows Gasp! Maybe Einrogards magic is confusing Jowrin!

Jowrin shook her head vigorously. It seemed like Einrogards powerful magic was scattering Jowrins judgment.

Hmm. Anyway, Professor Ingoldel says he has many worries because of this. Whether he might be interfering unnecessarily

No. Professor Ingoldel would never think of it as interference. Lets go ask him!

Lee Han shouted with his heart full of intent to interfere.

Whatever plan Professor Ingoldel was scheming, he intended to figure it out first and sabotage it if possible.

***

This is truly a difficult matter.

The elf professor wearing prosthetic legs and arms confided his troubles to the visiting knights.

Contrary to Lee Hans misunderstanding, Professor Ingoldel wasnt thinking something like How dare you pass my assignment so easily? Just wait for the exam.

Rather, he was contemplating an exam that could also embrace the Wardanaz family boy.

A mad Einrogard professor would have simply thought Why not just make the Wardanaz family boy take a different exam? but Professor Ingoldel wasnt quite at that level yet.

If he set the difficulty normally, it would be too easy for Lee Han, but if he set the difficulty high, it wouldnt suit the other students

Who would have known that teaching would be this difficult.

You are admirable, Professor Ingoldel.

We support you, Professor.

Various knights and swordsmen who visited from organizations friendly with Professor Ingoldel, such as the White Birch Knights, Fire Watch, and Cross Brothers Swordsmen, cheered him on.

They offered various creative opinions to help the professor.

How about conducting a many-versus-many duel and then having the knights gathered here attack only that student separately? Itll be too chaotic for him to notice.

Ill put a potion in the water that student drinks before the exam. His limbs will become heavy, so itll be appropriate training.

Ingenious suggestions that would have made Lee Han immediately have Jowrin send a complaint to the Emperor poured out endlessly.

Professor Ingoldel seriously wrote down those suggestions and pondered them.

How could he give an appropriate exam to all students?

Professor!

What brings you all here?

When Balpatan of the Moradi family and Palga of the Ukim family came urgently knocking on the door, Professor Ingoldel was puzzled.

It was rare for upperclassmen from the White Tiger Tower to visit so urgently.

Is it about the exam? But you two are in different years

Thats not it. Could you possibly help us? Were tracking intruders from outside, and these bastards are incredibly fast.

!

The Empires strong warriors inside raised their eyebrows.

Both the fact that there were external intruders and that students were personally chasing them was surprising.

A knight from the Fire Watch who didnt know much about Einrogard shouted as if it was absurd.

There are intruders at Einrogard? But its so quiet?

Huh? Oh, well

Balpatan was flustered by that outcry instead.

Einrogard was originally a place where external intruders periodically entered and periodically disappeared.

But who is this person?

Someone from the Fire Watch.

I see. What?? The Fire Watch?!

Balpatan was even more shocked by the name of the famous imperial knight order.

It might have been different normally, but now there was reason to be surprised. Wasnt it almost exam period?

Einrogard students were the type to see even a falling leaf and think That falling leaf is prophesying my grades! so they couldnt help but react sensitively to such visits from outsiders.

I came from the Cross Brothers Swordsmen.

Im from the White Birch Knights

P-Professor. Did we do something wrong? Why are these people here?

Balpatan wondered why Professor Ingoldel was doing this.

Wasnt the exam supposed to be hunting large chimeras with petrification curses, spatial movement, and freezing poison?

Could there have been another exam that Balpatan didnt know about?

Ah. Dont worry, Moradi. They didnt come for the fourth-year exam.

Then this time, Palga, who was a third year, clutched his chest. His face turned pale as if he might collapse at any moment.

Its not the third-year exam either. Im troubled about the second-year exam, so everyone came to visit to help.

The upperclassmen seriously wondered what the second years had done wrong this year for those strong warriors to visit in droves.

Even if they had attempted to assassinate the principal, they probably wouldnt be punished to that extent

More importantly, student. Please finish telling us about the intruders. This doesnt seem like the time to be calmly discussing exams when intruders have entered.

A swordsman from the Cross Brothers Swordsmen spoke with a serious attitude.

Since external intruders had entered a place where fragile mages were present, they should declare an emergency throughout the territory and strengthen security.

Students should only gather and move around during the day, and shouldnt come out at night

Hmm. Einrogard doesnt handle things that way.

Professor Ingoldel coughed slightly and spoke to his friend.

Doesnt handle things that way?

Well um Einrogard has many intruders and the students are all strong

Even while speaking, he felt somewhat inadequate himself, but Professor Ingoldel did his best to explain Einrogards school rules.

/p>

Since intruders visited so consistently, they didnt make a big fuss over one or two entering!

No! You treat the Empires most outstanding mages so carelessly?

Hmm. Ingoldels words also make sense. Isnt that confidence that Einrogards magic and mages are outstanding? The pride of these mages who believe they can solve things themselves is truly admirable.

The two students muttered to themselves, No, the skeleton principal forced this rule.

Is that so? Im worried that Einrogards rules are too lax. What if the mages get attacked? How could someone as wise as Lord Gonadaltes establish such rules.

Mmph mmph.

Look at these admirable students here. Didnt they step forward first for their juniors? You probably dont need to worry so much.

The two who had been mumbling due to the prohibition stopped and exchanged glances.

Y-Yes. All Einrogard upperclassmen take the lead for their juniors.

Indeed. Even if the rules seem lax and strange, there were reasons for everything Even so, Professor Ingoldel. I cant just sit still as a member of a swordsmen group when intruders have entered. I want to help the students.

Since the students asked for help anyway, this works out well. Lets go together, everyone. You said the intruders were fast?

Oh, yes but

When the Empires powerhouses, including Professor Ingoldel, all rose up at once, Balpatan and Palga hesitated slightly.

In truth, the reason the two had come to find Professor Ingoldel wasnt out of some sense of responsibility to deal with the intruder for their juniors.

Greed!

Hes the one who got his hands on the Principals treasure. I absolutely cant let anyone else take it!

We have to catch him first!

There were fewer students at Einroguard who coveted the Skeleton Principals treasure than one might think.

Any student with even a little sense knew how difficult and dangerous it was.

But if another student was going to challenge the Skeleton Principals treasure?

Einroguard students would cheer and support them without exception.

After all, the Skeleton Principals treasure had to be released to the outside first before they could steal it back or snatch it away.

This intruder incident was similar.

The intruder was unforgivable, but since he had already stolen the Skeleton Principals treasure, our students would put it to good use instead!

With more than a few students thinking this way, it was natural for these White Tiger Tower students to come find the professor.

To win in fierce competition, ordinary methods wouldnt suffice.

Whats wrong, you two?

Ah, well. We stepped forward for our juniors, but were wondering if its really right to receive help from outside guests

Hahaha! What wonderful seniors you are. The students of Einroguard must be happy to have such seniors!

Professor Ingoldels friends laughed heartily as they opened the door and stepped outside.

Palga hesitated before speaking to Balpatan.

Senior. Arent we acting a bit too much like Blue Dragon Tower?

Shh. Be quiet.

***

Temporarily out on intruder search business

Professor Ingoldel

!

Lee Han was surprised to see the note written on the door.

The intruders were surely (if no more had been added in the meantime) the adventurers who had infiltrated to rescue Antagondals.

But why did the professor step forward?

Junior. I think the professor probably intends to catch the intruders and use them for exams.

How does that make any

Lee Han was about to speak when he saw Professor Boladi and trailed off.

Someone who had done something similar last year was right in front of him.

Come to think of it, that does make sense.

Does it?

Jowrin tilted her head, not understanding why Lee Han was convinced.

No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like nonsense

Since its come to this, theres nothing we can do. Junior. Lets just

No. Lets chase after Professor Ingoldel. Lets follow and interfere I mean, ask about the exam.

Is that really necessary?

Catten didnt understand, but couldnt break his juniors iron-like will.

Lee Han rattled off all sorts of flowery words about magic and fantastic stories, insisting that finding Professor Ingoldel right now to learn would help Cattens magic grow later.

Al, alright. If junior says so

Trust me. But I dont understand. Other seniors aside, why is Professor Ingoldel personally moving to catch intruders?

Einroguards professors were absolutely not idle people. Especially during exam periods, they were even busier.

It didnt make sense for him to step forward personally when even leaving it to the Death Knights wouldnt be enough.

Hmm. There is one thing I can guess.

What is it?

I heard that the intruder stole the Principals treasure. It might be because of that. If its an important treasure, it wouldnt be strange for the professor to step forward personally

As the false rumor he had created came back to him, Lee Han reflected deeply.
