Chapter 998
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
-Th, thats-Professor Verdus was there too!
Fortunately, there was one quick-witted knight among them.
The other death knights looked at their colleague with admiring eyes.
Displaying such wit in this situation was truly the wisdom of a knight.
Of course, Professor Verdus hadnt participated voluntarily but had been kidnapped and forced to participate, but originally for an Einroguard professor, being kidnapped was also a crime.
And if it was Professor Verdus, it warranted aggravated punishment.
That damn Beeble Fine. At least its not completely ruined, so thats fortunate. What do you mean the projection punished Beeble? Did he die by any chance?
The Skeleton Principal asked with slight concern.
Unlike his benevolent and generous self, the projection of honor was merciless. Someone like Professor Verdus could have really died from fooling around without any malice.
Although the domains magic was protecting the people inside, magic had loopholes and archmages were the most skilled at exploiting such loopholes.
-No. The professor didnt die.
It would have been fine if he died once or twice.
The knights pretended not to hear the Skeleton Principals muttering and continued their report.
-Professor Verdus just suffered a harsh ordeal. Some of his works were broken
I figured as much.
The principal sighed as if feeling sorry after hearing the report.
In fact, if they werent going to kill Professor Verdus, there werent many ways to punish him. One of them was destroying Professor Verduss works.
For that beaver beastman mage, breaking his works could deal a much stronger blow than cutting off his limbs.
It wasnt that the Skeleton Principal didnt know this method. In fact, he had used it several times before.
Its meaningless work.
The reason he called it meaningless was simple.
The shock from breaking works would last at most a few days, and if they broke works every time, Einroguard would go bankrupt first.
Most of the works Professor Verdus created were either contracted pieces or commissioned works. Since he was a mage with so many debts, the number of purely personal works was small.
Still, doesnt it feel good?
One of the death knights thought to himself.
It was rare for students and knights to agree on things, but when it came to Professor Verdus, the thought I want to kick that bastard just once quite often aligned.
Still, everyone must have felt good. I wish I could have seen it too.
-!
The list.
-Here it is.
The death knight respectfully presented the catalog. It was a list of artifacts Professor Verdus was working on and the list of items damaged this time.
Seeing it, the Skeleton Principal became very troubled.
He broke quite a lot.
-Theres more on the back page.
One tactless knight additionally fell into the punishment room.
The Skeleton Principal shook his head as if fed up and said.
Write down the rest and report it. If I listen to everything one by one, the semester will end.
-How will you handle the punishment?
Send only Professor Beeble to the punishment room and leave the rest alone.
Strictly speaking, Professor Garcia and Professor Boladi were guilty of omitting reports and stealing relics, and Professor Verdus was guilty of being kidnapped and failing to protect artifacts.
But the former were innocent.
The two had much work to do outside, but Professor Verdus could work even in the punishment room.
After all the knights left, the Skeleton Principal stared at the blank letter paper.
This white paper, which exuded a more intense presence than a great demon from the burning hell dimension, consisted of letters that needed to be sent to the Emperor, the Imperial treasurer, and various noble families.
The Skeleton Principal called for the death knight outside again.
When Parkjuenaz wakes up, bring him here. If someone who will support the Empire asks, those guys will be a bit more lenient.
-They might not cooperate because of what you did, master.
The Skeleton Principal sent the loyal knight to the punishment room and then called the knight next to him.
Bring him.
-Yes!
***
A mages dreams were different from ordinary peoples dreams.
In the divination magic school, dreams were one of the powerful means. In that ambiguous realm, one could divine the future while avoiding all kinds of rebound.
Even without going to the divination magic school, mages often found themselves influenced by intense dreams in their lives.
A mage who made a wrong contract could be chased by interdimensional beings in dreams (and if they made a mistake, it would damage their real body), and a mage who attempted overly complex magic could see bizarre scenes in dreams like they had eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms due to the aftereffects.
In that regard, it was natural for Lee Han to have intense dreams while he was unconscious.
In the dream, the young and healthy Skeleton Principal from his human days appeared, the Skeleton Principal obsessed with honor appeared, and the current evil Skeleton Principal also appeared.
When the guest star Arna and the small world, the unique world and the Yachaowang, all kinds of great magics and transcendents appeared and mixed chaotically, the dreams content became even more incomprehensible.
-I entrust the world to you.
-Hmph. Parkjuenaz, youre neither the first disciple to hurl insults at me, nor will you be the last.
-Are you talking about that fellow who played mage cards during lessons?
-Thats Gainando
-I entrust the world to you.
-Dont forget the small world. Continue to strive.
-Nobility for others.
-You little hamster bastard. Are you instigating from the side?
-I entrust the world to you.
The magic he had hastily learned recently was naturally absorbed into his mind like melting ice, and when the three Skeleton Principals rotated round and round like Senior Hormashis Cerberus, Lee Han woke up with cold sweat.
!
What he felt when he woke up was fatigue throughout his body as if he had been beaten, a head that wouldnt work as if he were drunk, and a baby basilisk clinging tightly to his arm.
Ill have to argue later.
Lee Han planned to argue that when the baby basilisk woke up, what he threw last time wasnt his own intention but the work of evil alcohol.
The frost giants alcohol surely had side effects as evil and vile as that race.
Lee Han, who was about to go down from his private room, felt the events that had happened come back to him.
Even if it was futile and empty, it couldnt be helped. The disappeared mage wouldnt return, and Lee Han had to do what he had to do.
I should write an anonymous tip to the Empire.
But separately from that, Lee Han planned to send at least one anonymous tip to the Empire.
An evil tyrant who doesnt listen to students opinions at all is ruling the magic school
Wardanaz!
When Lee Han came down, his friends who were sitting in thecommon lounge studying for exams were startled.
Are you okay?
Im fine. My body feels a bit heavy though. Whats that thing over there?
Lee Han was puzzled when he saw an unfamiliar betting board hanging on the wall.
It was a betting board divided into possible/impossible, and the Blue Dragon Tower students had written their names on the side they wanted.
Seeing that there were more on the possible side
I get it. You bet on when I would wake up.
No. We bet on whether you could be valedictorian without attending the final exams or not.
Thanks everyone. How long did I sleep?
Over a week.
!??!
Lee Han was shocked.
He thought he had slept for a long time, but it was that long??
There are still a few days left for the exams, Wardanaz.
We didnt slack off just because you werent here.
His friends spoke with proud expressions.
The reason the 2nd year students didnt indulge in debauchery this time was purely the power of friendship.
As long as they had a conscience, they couldnt play around when their friend had collapsed.
No. I wasnt asking because of the exam.
What?!
This time his friends were shocked.
They naturally expected Lee Han to start talking about exams as soon as he woke up.
What happened after that? The Principals doppelganger disappeared.
Ah. That
Everyone was sad and disappointed. Gainando even went to the punishment room.
?!
Lee Han was surprised.
Being sad and disappointed was one thing, but Gainando going to the punishment room?
Why on earth? Did he attack the Principal or something??
Uh its similar but a bit different.
When the doppelganger disappeared and the Skeleton Principal returned, even the Einroguard students quickly noticed the change.
-Oh. Where did the Principals doppelganger go?
-Right? We can see the Principal but why? Principal. Do you know where the doppelganger went?
-He is dead.
-Murderer! Murderer!!
The fearless upperclassmen threw filth at the Skeleton Principal, only to get beaten up and chased away in return.
Lee Han, who had been quietly listening to the story, tilted his head.
Wait. The upperclassmen were just chased away, so why did Gainando go to the punishment room?
He threw an egg by himself.
While stones or filth might be forgiven, throwing an egg was unforgivable.
Gainando was immediately dragged to the punishment room for the crime of luxury and waste.
Anyway, Im glad everyone remembered Master.
Wardanaz. Are you okay?
Im fine. Its disappointing, but it cant be helped.
Lee Han spoke in a bitter voice.
Perhaps, as the Skeleton Principal said, this might have been a better ending for the insane doppelganger himself.
Though he denied it, a lingering spirit bound to the world couldnt have been without pain.
Still, Ill write an anonymous letter.
Now that he thought about it, writing about two seemed appropriate.
Lee Han resolved to send two letters using pseudonyms.
The Enchantment Magic School upperclassmen erected a memorial at the mountain range workshop. Want to go see it?
What? Which school?!
Lee Han, who was about to pour coffee from the kettle on the fireplace into a tin cup for recovery, almost dropped it.
Among all the many schools at Einroguard, wasnt this the school least suited for memorials?
I was surprised too, but the upperclassmen apparently built it?
Hmm. I see. So even the Enchantment Magic School upperclassmen were moved
I think its just because they beat up Professor Verdus.
His friends thought so inwardly, but seeing Lee Han looking happy, they said nothing.
***
Due to the great battle, no trace of the workshop remained, but the giants were still nearby, consoling their grief.
Several students left letters next to the memorial saying things like Thank you for beating Professor Verdus and Please return someday and sit on the Principals throne before turning away.
The giants sniffled and hugged such students tightly.
Crack!
As the students staggered away, Lee Han appeared. The giants saw Lee Han and rushed toward him.
-Wardanaz. Drink this. Sadness disappears.
Isnt that giant liquor?
-Mages hold onto sadness for long because they dont have this. We have this, so we send sadness away quickly.
Im fine.
The blazing giant liquor could send away more than just sadnessit could send away a mages mind too. Lee Han firmly refused.
-Right. Wardanaz. The Yaca old man was waiting for Wardanaz.
!
While Lee Han was surprised by the unexpected name, a voice came from behind.
-Youre finally here.
A familiar old Yaca walked out from among the giants. The Yaca spoke while holding a bundle in his arms.
-Do you know how long I waited among these idiots because of you?
Whats the matter?
-The chamberlain left something for you. He asked me to deliver it.
Why to you, sir??
As far as Lee Han knew, the chamberlain didnt particularly have any relationship with the Yaca old man.
-Well, there were only giants and this old man around, and between the two, I was the better choice.
At the Yaca old mans words, the giants felt spiteful and poured out jeers.
-The mage made the wrong choice just looking at race.
-We could have delivered it well too!
Thank you anyway.
