This is why fake information is dangerous.

Lee Han resolved that he would think twice before spreading false rumors in the future.

If thats true, they really are wicked and disgusting intruders!

I-Is that so? But junior. Just because they stole the Principals treasure doesnt necessarily make them more evil

Catten was confused why his usually cool-headed junior class representative was getting so angry.

Jowrin quietly explained from the side instead.

Lee Han was like that because he was Gonadaltes disciple.

I see

To Catten, the Skeleton Principal was just an unfamiliar Archmage with a strange personality, but if he was a direct disciple, it made sense that he would be angry about such theft.

Junior seems cold but is actually quite sentimental.

Jowrin thought so too

What are you doing back there? Hurry up and come!

Lee Han got angry when Catten and Jowrin werent moving and were whispering behind him.

***

Mages were fundamentally weak beings.

Of course, the power of magic they used was strong and destructive, but the mages themselves were ultimately fragile mortals with many weaknesses.

Thats why experienced adventurers didnt fear mages that much. There was even a saying among adventurers:

-Rookie adventurers tremble just hearing rumors of a mage, but experienced adventurers prepare calmly.

There were various ways to deal with them.

Interfering with spellcasting, ambushing before casting, creating confusion to break concentration, making the surrounding mana turbulent

The Kangles Shadow adventurers who had infiltrated Einrogard were naturally veterans at dealing with mages.

Moreover, since they were infiltrating Einrogard, they had come prepared with much more additional preparation.

But there was one thing these adventurers had never experienced before.

That was dozens of mages tracking them relentlessly by any means necessary.

-Stay calm. There are many of them, but theyre rookies whove never experienced real combat. We can easily fool

-Theres an intruder over there! Theres an intruder over there!

-Damn it! My artifact found them first! My artifact found them first! Hormashi! Cant you hear me!

-I cant hear you! My dog found them first! Kill them!

-

The confidence they had tried so hard to maintain disappeared within minutes.

Einrogards students really began tracking down the adventurers in an instant.

-Grrrrrowl!

Isnt that a Cerberus?! Why is the school raising that?! It should be banned by Imperial law!

This isnt the time to worry about that. Swordsman! Run this way! Tear the fog scroll so they cant follow us!

The scroll wont activate!

-The Cooking Club blocked the scroll! Everyone saw it, right?! Its our achievement!

-What are you showing off for! Dont even think about claiming the reward with that!

These arrogant little brats! They keep pushing their luck because were going easy on them!

Being chased only by young students like this, eventually one of the adventurers exploded. Since they had gathered only evil ones, their patience wasnt very deep.

The swordsman drew the sword strapped to his back and chanted a spell.

Drink blood and tear apart enemies!

As the sharp blade grazed the swordsmans finger, drops of blood formed. When the blood was absorbed, the sword trembled menacingly and emitted a faint red glow.

Ha!

With a shout, the swordsman swung his sword. The light beam from an artifact flying from afar was completely extinguished.

This sword was also a powerful artifact that could erase low-level magic.

The swordsman held his breath and erased his presence. Hiding in the bushes, he stabbed his sword straight into the unlucky student running in front.

Thunk!

From the sensation at his fingertips, the swordsman was certain of success.

You mage bastards, do you see! Keep following me. Ill turn you all into this

I caught him! I caught him!

?!

The student who should have definitely died was giggling and grabbing the swordsmans wrist.

Then he cheered to his other friends that he had caught him. The creepy sight sent chills down the swordsmans spine.

What kind of crazy?

The swordsman hastily pulled out his sword. Other mages were already approaching. There was no time to waste.

Swish!

With a spell, the tree branches near the swordsman turned into blades and aimed for the intruders neck.

At the same time, the stones on the ground also transformed into sharp projectiles and flew up. The swordsman swung his sword to erase the magic.

However, the magic wasnt erased like before. When he looked with wide eyes, the light the sword had been emitting had also disappeared.

Thats impossible Gah!

Got you, bastard! Hand over the treasure!

Hey! I caught him completely! I sealed that sword!

Even if you hadnt sealed it, I could have caught this guy who was showing off relying on such an artifact!

With the swordsman completely subdued, the students argued over who would take the treasure.

The student who still had a large hole in his body grumbled.

I went through the trouble of casting transformation on blood to seal the sword

Hmph. If it were me, I would have caught him right away without getting stabbed. Whats the point of bragging when you couldnt even catch him first.

Hey. This guy was hiding so well! How could you find him while casting transformation magic!

Everyone. Stop fighting and lets just find the treasure.

The swordsman glared at the students with bloodshot eyes, but to the Einrogard students, the swordsman was already a subject of no interest.

The Einrogard upperclassmen had experienced far too many dangers to be frightened by such an adventurer.

Theres no treasure!?

Damn it! We caught the wrong one! I thought it was strange that he came out separately to draw attention!

Wait a minute. Friends. This intruder seems to want to say something?

When the bound swordsman moved his mouth, the students expectantly released the paralysis for a moment.

Are you trying to tell us where you hid the treasure? If you tell us, well give you a little leniency

-Ill kill you all! You rookie mage bastards!

Ah seriously. Why did we have to catch this kind of guy.

Tie him up again, tie him up. Lets send him to the Death Knights.

Its a waste, cant we use him for magic experiments?

Dont say things thatll cause trouble. The Skeleton Principal will go crazy.

Why is it okay to do magic experiments on the students themselves but not on outside intruders?

I think the Principal wants to monopolize the fun for himself.

-

The swordsman learned for the first time that calm conversation could be more terrifying than rough threats.

He had often heard that Einrogards mages were on a different level from mages elsewhere, but he never thought it would be to this extent.

They ere far too different from the kind of mages he had always thought of.

***

No way. This many were caught??

Lee Han, who arrived late, was shocked to see the upperclassmen taking a light rest after hanging the intruders at the bottom of the mountain range.

Far more intruders had been caught than he had expected.

Did Antagondals perhaps get scammed?

He had thought the adventurers that Antagondals had trusted and commissioned would be impressive, but so many had already been caught.

Ah. Maybe these captured ones are just a small fraction and there are many more intruders remaining

Huh? No. I tortured I mean, interrogated them, and we caught almost all of them. Only a few are left.

Lee Han began to wonder whether his upperclassmen were amazing or if these adventurers here were just mediocre.

The Kangles Shadow party was literally dismantled. Most of their members were caught in an instant after being discovered once, so calling it dismantled was putting it nicely.

All the preparations they had brought in were meaningless. Even if they blocked attacks once or twice, the students relentlessly continued pushing with sheer numbers.

If they blocked divination magic tracking with scrolls, theyd be tracked by magical creatures; if they evaded magical creature tracking with floral scents, theyd be tracked by detection artifacts

This result came from being discovered just once. From the intruders perspective, it was truly an unfair situation.

Hmm. They might really be insignificant adventurers after all. Maybe Antagondals got scammed

Hmm. That might be so.

Jowrin expressed agreement with Lee Hans speculation from beside him.

Since Antagondals was a mage criminal, there would have been limits to the adventurers he could hire.

Besides, who would want to enter Einroguard?

So he had no choice but to forcibly hire even those with poor skills like this

Lee Han and Jowrin engaged in an insulting conversation that would have made the Kangles Shadow adventurers shed tears of blood if they had heard it.

By any chance, have you seen Professor Ingoldel?

Professor Ingoldel? He went inside earlier saying hed catch the intruders.

As expected, professors are different. Weve half given up by now, but hes going to catch them to the end.

The upperclassmen admired Professor Ingoldels persistence.

The students gathered here had half given up on the Skeleton Principals treasure despite catching so many, yet it still hadnt appeared.

However, Professor Ingoldel continued tracking without caring. It was a choice only possible with the greed to obtain the treasure at all costs.

Was this the difference between students and professors?

No. Is he really doing this because of treasure? Why on earth? If its the Principals treasure, shouldnt the Principal step forward?

I think exactly the same! Isnt it cheating for a professor to jump into the competition?

At the admirable juniors point, all the students expressed agreement.

Honestly, someone at the professor level shouldnt covet the Skeleton Principals treasure. He should yield for the students sake.

Should I just give up?

Lee Han pondered slightly.

Looking at the number of intruders the upperclassmen had caught now, even if Professor Ingoldel captured all the remaining intruders, there wouldnt be that many.

Then even if those intruders appeared as exam questions during midterms, it wouldnt be that difficult

What crazy thoughts am I having. Even one person is dangerous enough.

Fighting adventurers who had experienced all sorts of hardships from outside wasnt something to feel relieved about just because their numbers decreased. It was right to block them unconditionally.

I didnt know Professor Ingoldel was this greedy.

It might be because of the exam.

Thats even more terrifying.

At Professor Boladis words, Lee Han was horrified.

If he was doing this not out of greed for treasure but purely out of desire to use intruders during midterm exams, that was even scarier.

-Found an intruder!

A shout came from far away to Lee Hans ears as he pondered.

Then the upperclassmen simultaneously began engaging in a free-for-all.

Shadows, blind the enemys eyes!

Earth! Bind them!

Fog, confuse the direction

Why, why are they doing that?!

Jowrin momentarily wondered if the students had been hit by some magic. Catten kindly explained.

Theyre trying to check others and go first, Your Majesty.

Jowrin, who had been looking at them pathetically, looked at Lee Han and asked.

But Lee Han, if youre looking for Professor Ingoldel, shouldnt you go that way?

Ah I was considering giving up since it seems too late.

Lee Han was gradually thinking of giving up and facing the intruders during midterm exams.

With the upperclassmens fight being so fierce, how difficult would it be to stop Professor Ingoldel?

Lee Han! You mustnt give up! Lee Han must definitely get Gonadaltess treasure first!

Thats a false rumor.

Lee Han wanted to prevent Professor Ingoldel from capturing intruders, not to obtain treasure.

However, Jowrin didnt care and spread her wings wide, then forcibly carried Lee Han.

Lets go! Jowrin will take you there!

At the sight of the dragon soaring into the air, the upperclassmen who had been fighting each other looked up at the sky in surprise.

Flying on a dragon?!
