Chapter 965
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Why are you like this?!The Stonemason Club commission got canceled
Y-you dont need to be that disappointed, do you?
The upperclassmen were flustered as they comforted Lee Han.
It wasnt just empty words the Stonemason Club really didnt care much about canceled commissions.
If it were a place like the Mage Card Collection Club, they would cry their hearts out and attempt arson on the Einroguard Main Building if their outing got canceled due to a commission cancellation, but the Stonemason Club received the most commissions among all clubs, so they didnt mind cancellations.
There are plenty of other commissions piled up anyway, and those guys would probably be happy they dont have to go out.
Is that so?
Lee Han was slightly intrigued.
He didnt completely believe it, but he wanted to believe it a little because of his guilt.
Really. That was it Anfargon?
Ah. Senior Anfargon. Thats right.
Anfargon from the Enchantment School of Magic, who played the role of the most sociable student within the school.
Lee Han had met and talked with him several times.
Last time he had to go out for an external commission, but he didnt want to go so he hid in Einroguards underground mines. The Death Knights had such a hard time finding him.
Lee Hans reaction was a beat late as he pondered whether to point out the underground mines or the fact that he hid.
Anyway, dont worry too much about it, Wardanaz.
Right, right. And its not even your fault, is it?
Sob!
!??
***
-Waaaaaaah!
-Welcome back!
After the volunteer work ended, Lee Han returned to Einroguards castle gate together with the Kitchen Club students.
The Stonemason Clubs commission was canceled too, and since they had been out for quite a long time, there was no reason to force themselves to stay out longer.
But surprisingly, they could hear students welcoming them from far away.
Do they usually give send-offs and welcomes during club outing weeks?
Huh. Do they usually do this kind of thing?
Puhuh. No. When we come back, we bring ingredients, so theyre waiting in anticipation of that.
Looking closely, the students faces clearly showed intentions of wanting them to hand something over.
Falkrious laughed heartily as he opened the mouth of the food sack.
Come on, take some! Heres the food that the Wardanaz Family Junior brought!
Wa Waaaaaaah!
N-no way, theyre really giving it out!
The students were shocked by the much more generous response than they had expected.
Who would have thought the Kitchen Club, which usually gave out half a piece of bread or thinly sliced cheese, would be this generous?
Freshly baked warm rolls were thrown out generously, and southern mountain cheese, peaches, apples, and more were handed out one after another.
Senior Falkrious! Can we really take these?
Uhaha. Have you been living being deceived? As I said, the Wardanaz Family Junior here brought plenty.
Did you perhaps use mind control magic?
What crazy talk Wait. Wardanaz, did you use it?
Falkrious, who was about to deny it, turned his head just in case.
Thinking back on the scene, he suddenly thought his junior might have used it.
But Wardanaz wasnt beside him. Surprised, he looked around and saw his junior walking away in the distance with Professor Garcia.
Puhuh. Hes popular too.
When his junior frantically waved his arms, Falkrious also smiled and waved back.
Such good manners!
***
Oh. Wardanaz, youre back!
Yeah.
But what are you doing?
Writing a reflection paper.
Lee Han moved a quill with telekinesis, leaving words on the paper.
I will not fight evil deity worshippers directly even if I encounter them in the future.
I will not fight evil deity worshippers directly even if I encounter them in the future.
His Blue Dragon Tower friend looked at him with shocked eyes.
He thought he had gone out for club activities, but what on earth??
However, contrary to his friends shock, Lee Hans heart was full of peace and gratitude.
This was a very lenient punishment.
As expected, Professor Garcia is the best professor in Einroguard, no, in the entire Empire.
Professor Garcia knew well that with Lee Hans current magical skills, he could easily replicate this kind of reflection paper.
Yet ending it with just a reflection paper was something to be grateful for.
Lee Han left the automatically moving quill alone and opened a book. Since he had been out for almost two weeks, he needed to do some lecture review this weekend.
Wand Materials and Magic Amplification Hmm. Ive already finished making my wand, so I dont need to worry much about this? Pass. A Mages Life with Plants Come to think of it, I finished this last time too. Pass. Advanced Illusion Magic and Spirit Theory This too
However, the review process ended faster than expected.
Because he had run so intensively before the midterms, missing 1-2 weeks wouldnt set him back.
Huh?
Lee Han looked through again to see if he had missed anything, but nothing had changed. Feeling awkward, Lee Han closed the book.
Hmm. I should think about the Stonemason Club commission.
Professor Garcia, who had kidnapped, no, taken Lee Han away to scold him, had said this:
-Never engage in direct confrontation with evil deity worshippers again!!!!
-Yes!
-And dont attack villains under the identity of Stedal Nago either!!!!
-Yes
-Oh right. Student Lee Han. The Stonemason Club students are looking for Student Jarun. It would be helpful for you too, so help them look.
Isnt this emotional change a bit too extreme?
Reflection was reflection, but Professor Garcia didnt hesitate at all when it came to conveying necessary information to students.
Students belonging to the Stonemason Club were usually busy with their individual commissions.
Thats why even when external commissions were canceled like this time, students would just say Oh? Is that so? and move on.
However, now the Stonemason Club students were rarely united, searching for one person.
A senior Lee Han knew well, Jarun of the Steel Boot Family!
This dwarf senior from the Transformation School of Magic had narrow social relationships and loved gold.
He loved gold so much that even when he should have gone up to attend lectures, he would hole up in his underground workshop, absorbed only in mining.
Thanks to that, he was often caught by professors and dragged to the punishment room.
-Why is everyone looking for Senior Jarun? And what do you mean it would be helpful for me are you talking about magic? I dont think I need to learn more transformation magic since I still have some left to learn.
-Student Lee Han. Stop the habit of thinking about everything in relation to magic. Youll really hurt yourself f you keep that up.
No!
Lee Han felt wronged.
I just logically deduced from our conversation that magic was highly likely and mentioned it, yet youre talking about me like Im some kind of magic fanatic.
-Student Jarun is also in the Masonry Club.
-I see What? Ive never heard of that?!
-Not all club members are actively involved. Anyway, Student Jarun had basically just put his name down and was doing separate activities, but he submitted this kind of application.
Application
Ironboot Family, Jarun
The above student writes this application for the following reasons.
-Need mining artifacts for orichalcum extraction
-If I mine orichalcum with Einroguards support, I will leave my name in honorable service for the dwarves (payment in gold is realistically impossible)
-Hiring outside mages is fine, but they must follow my instructions (immediate expulsion if they dont comply)
Did Gainando write this by any chance?
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
It was one thing to ask Einroguard to lend mining artifacts because he was going to extract orichalcum, but the greed of trying to settle the cost with the honor of having his name remembered was absurd.
Even Gainando wouldnt write such a greedy application!
Moreover, the idea of hiring outside mages to use them at full capacity was equally outrageous.
What outside mage coming all the way to Einroguard would be desperate enough to accept such a proposal?
In Lee Hans view, any mage who came after receiving such a rude proposal would likely be harboring a knife in their heart.
Planning to ambush Jarun from behind and monopolize the orichalcum
-Wait. Professor. Then does this mean Senior Jarun found an orichalcum vein?
-I think theres a high possibility of that. Thats probably why the Masonry Club students are looking for him.
-!
Lee Han was surprised.
Even though Einroguard had monsters underground, ancient archmages in the mountain ranges, and dragons in the dormitories, he never expected an orichalcum vein to appear in the mines too.
-I havent heard about it Ah. I must be getting the news late since I was out.
-Hmm
Professor Garcia showed a hesitant expression. After deliberating, the professor finally opened his mouth.
-I think even if you hadnt gone out, everyone wouldnt have told you
-
-Actually, not all the Masonry Club students know about it either. Everyones trying to keep the news secret.
All Einroguard students were cold-hearted.
If Senior Jarun found an orichalcum vein, they should quietly follow and share it, but spreading the news widely would only reduce their own share.
-Anyway, Student Lee Han, dont regret it later and go look for Student Jarun if youre interested.
-Thank you, Professor. But how did you know about this?
-Thats a secret. Ha, haha. Hahaha.
Professor Garcia avoided answering with a very awkward laugh.
Now that I think about it, its a bit strange.
Lee Han, finishing his recollection, felt slightly puzzled.
No matter how excellent a mage Professor Garcia was, it was somewhat strange for him to be so well-informed about affairs between students.
But such puzzlement didnt last long. What was important now was the Masonry Clubs request.
Though he wasnt sure if this could even be called a request
If Salko were here, I would have suggested doing it together. But hes in the punishment room, so thats impossible. Should I try contacting Senior Anfargon?
Huff, gasp. Lee Han. Youre back?!
The common room door opened and Gainando burst in with heavy breathing.
Yeah. How have you been?
Whew, huff. Actually, I went out too!
What? Really?
Since it was something he truly hadnt expected, Lee Han was startled. Gainando shouted with a triumphant face.
Listen! You wont believe it. There were guys stealing and selling mage cards, so I was waiting to catch their tail, right? But suddenly there was an explosion in the building next door
Wait. Sorry, Gainando. I have something to do right now. Ill listen to the story next time.
This is a really amazing story! Youll regret it if you hear it later! Lee Han! Im telling you, youll really regret it!
Gainando grumbled at the back of his friend who was leaving ruthlessly.
He was going to tell him about how a terrifying new mage had been attacking various places throughout Granden City!
***
Senior Anfargon. Are you there?
Lee Han, who visited Professor Verduss magic tower, the Stellar Hall, saw a familiar senior with one more person beside him and quickly turned around.
Hmm. I should look for him alone. Come to think of it, I dont absolutely need orichalcum.
Such top-grade reagents were needed when you were an upperclassman, but Lee Han, who was still a second-year, might not have much use for it even if he had it.
Why is he turning back?
The familiar senior who was beside him, Yukveltire, tilted her head.
She couldnt understand why the junior was trying to leave when Anfargon was clearly here.
Actually, I came to look for a different senior. Theyre not here, so I was going to go back.
Which other senior?
Lee Han hesitated for a moment.
Come to think of it, he knew too few seniors in the Stellar Hall.
The only other person he knew was the person in front of him, but choosing that would be putting the cart before the horse
I absolutely dont want to move together with this person.
Her abilities were certainly reliable, but moving together with Senior Sho Verdus was something hed rather pass on.
He already had to help with research during vacation, so even during the semester, just a little
Its someone you dont know, Senior.
Is that so? I see. But I have a proposal for you, Wardanaz Family Junior.
Lee Han suddenly felt an ominous feeling.
Could it be?
Do you happen to know Jarun from the Ironboot Family?
