The Death Knight sitting on the coachmans seat quickly assessed the faces of the mages who had come to greet them.

Lava Forge Magic Tower, Snowflake Magic Tower, Water Magic Mountain Range Magic Tower, why are those Paragranium Guild bastards here? Even the Obsidian Magic Tower

Even at a rough glance, the number of participating magic towers was not just one or two.

It seemed Erindarvel had shared the news she heard with various magic towers.

The Skeleton Principal, realizing this as well, spoke with an irritated voice.

If you heard about the small world, you should keep it to yourself, so why spread it across the entire Empire?

From a practical standpoint, the Skeleton Principals criticism was correct.

If the Skeleton Principal had heard about a desired mages extraordinary talent, he would have immediately controlled the rumors first.

What good could come from increasing the number of competitors?

But this foolish Archmage had shared the news with multiple magic towers.

-It seems Lady Erindarvel, being a responsible Archmage, thought it was something other magic tower mages should know as well

So youre saying Im an irresponsible Archmage?

-

At the spiteful Skeleton Principals nitpicking, his subordinates and disciple fell silent.

The Skeleton Principal, realizing that getting irritated wouldnt change anything, let out a sigh.

Everyones making things troublesome from all sides

What should we do now?

At his disciples question, the Skeleton Principal nodded as if it was a good question.

From now on, when you go out, disguise yourself and hide your identity. When you meet mages, first check if they belong to a magic tower, workshop, or guild. If theyre above a certain scale, dont even sit with them.

I dont mean such distant future matters.

Its not a distant future story? They came to see, so we have to show them.

The small world Ive mastered is Basilios, but this isnt something I can show just because I want to show it to others.

To summon this crown inherited from the projection from a parallel dimension required devotion and nobility for others.

He couldnt easily demonstrate it to the mages from the magic towers.

It doesnt matter.

?

Even if you just show them other things besides the small world, itll be enough anyway.

At the Skeleton Principals words, the knights also nodded.

Just talking about normally learned magic or contract lists would make the mages faint.

While Lee Han looked reluctant, the Skeleton Principal read the last part of the letter he hadnt paid attention to earlier.

Yukveltire is trying to sue Your Excellency in the Imperial Court for stealing his prior agreement on research

Do you happen to know what this is about?

I had promised to help Senior Yukveltire with his research during the vacation.

Ah. I see.

The Skeleton Principal snickered and burned the letter.

Um, he said he would sue in court, is that okay?

Tell him to work hard at it. That guy still has a long way to go.

The merciful Skeleton Principal intended to give a lesson to the foolish student.

If you wanted to conduct research with a certain mage, you had to hold onto them well.

If you became complacent relying only on promises, youd get robbed like this.

Tsk tsk. To not realize it even after seeing what his own professor does.

The Skeleton Principal felt pity seeing how he failed to grasp this obvious principle despite being Professor Verduss disciple.

Some mages could never be bound by Imperial law.

When dealing with such mages, you had to seize them directly with force!

***

Lee Han was a bit worried about not being able to show the small world, but the Skeleton Principal and knights were right.

The mages from various magic towers were sufficiently satisfied even without showing the small world.

For advanced magic of the lightning element, Wardanazs Thunder Flower

Heoeoook!

You mean celestial magic? I have contracted with stars though

Heoeoeoeoook!

Um

Heoeoeoeoeoeoook!

I havent said anything yet.

Ah. Sorry about that.

The mages, accustomed to being surprised, felt embarrassed after trying to be surprised in advance.

They had been so surprised so many times that they unconsciously reacted with amazement first.

What were you trying to say?

Ah. Its nothing much, but I was curious how much more magic I need to use.

Oh my! We failed to consider the young talent. Lets stop here.

The mages spoke with apologetic smiles.

Of course, Lee Han hadnt said it with the intention of stopping. It was just a question.

He hadnt even brought up the Skeleton Principals debt story yet.

I can do more though.

No, no! Theres no need for that.

Right. While Einroguard works mages harshly, we at Snowflake Magic Tower dont treat them that way.

Anyway, Einroguard is a terrible and evil place. Isnt that right?

?

Lee Han sensed something strange in the mages conversation.

What was this?

Um it is tough, but calling it terrible and evil well, it is correct though

Exactly! Staying in such a place for too long completely twists a person. If my memory serves me right, wasnt Professor Verdus there too?

Thats right! Professor Verdus was there. Havent you thought that staying too long might make you become a mage like Professor Verdus?

Lee Han couldnt believe it.

So right now

Were they having this conversation to invite him to their magic towers?

No way. Would Imperial mages really do something so transparent?

Are you perhaps trying to give me a negative impression of Einroguard right now?

Wh, what?

Not at all? We were just discussing obvious facts about Einroguard.

Do you know that statistically, mages who graduate from Einroguard have a higher probability of becoming mage criminals?

Stop acting so crudely.

The Skeleton Principal suddenly stuck his face out and cut off the conversation.

The mages were startled as if they had encountered an evil lich in the deepest part of a dungeon.

If youre also mages, you should make invitations fairly and squarely with magic. What kind of magic your towers have, what secrets you possess

At the wise Archmages advice, the mages from the magic towers responded enthusiastically.

So thats why you confined Professor Kim to Einroguard?

There are mages who have the right to speak of fairness.

Why dont you release Professor Verdus?

I didnt confine Professor Garcia! He chose it himself!

While the Skeleton Principal couldnt deny the other points, he strongly denied the first accusation.

That was truly malicious slander.

Ha. I suppose you would think so.

Arent all the Einoguard students also happily doing magic of their own free will?

I think he probably locked them in the punishment room and threatened them.

The Skeleton Principal instinctively realized that if he said anything more, he wouldnt even break even against these venomous mages.

This had been predetermined karma ever since he had deceived them with Professor Garcia.

Still, youll grant my request for the sake of my disciples face here, wont you?

Of course. Well completely erase the debt.

The artifact you asked us to hand over last time, would you like to take it now?

Haha. No need.

The Skeleton Principal slyly poked his disciples back.

It meant to quietly slip away now that they had obtained everything they wanted.

Lee Han, who had grown accustomed to dealing with mages flashing with madness, nodded and silently stepped backward.

His stealth was so perfect that the mages didnt even notice the disciple had disappeared while they were talking with the Skeleton Principal.

-Youve worked hard.

The knights who had been watching anxiously also breathed sighs of relief.

-We were worried the mages might go crazy and attempt a kidnapping.

No matter what, theyre all people affiliated with magic towers, so surely they wouldnt go that far?

-In the old days with Professor Kim, they actually attacked and burned down the masters villa

What did you say earlier about how I should behave going forward?

Lee Han felt the need to properly remember the advice he had casually brushed off earlier.

When going outside, disguise yourself, hide your identity, and when meeting mages, magic towers or

-Still, dont worry too much.

Right? Even so, mages affiliated with the Empires official magic towers wouldnt go so far as to

-Ah. Thats not what I meant. I meant that since youre an excellent combat mage, heir, youd be able to respond well even if the tower mages attempted a kidnapping.

Wow How truly delightful.

At the heirs response, all the knights looked pleased.

It seemed to have been somewhat comforting.

While exiting the towers corridor with the knights, an unfamiliar mage appeared ahead.

It was a mage with silver hair and blue eyes. Lee Han whispered to the Death Knights.

Is that person Erindarvel?

-Thats correct. She resembles your friend, doesnt she?

The knights naturally assumed Lee Han had recognized the persons identity by their facial features.

Ah. Indeed. She definitely resembles her.

-Huh? Then how did you recognize her?

The structure of the staff magic shes using is similar to Senior Yukveltires

-Youd better not say that in front of the magic tower mages.

???

Lee Han was puzzled by the knights reaction.

Was there some mistake in his recent speculation?

Its a pleasure to meet you. Lord Wardanaz. Welcome to our visit.

Greetings. Lady Erindarvel.

The two mages greeted each other politely.

The archmages welcome had a somewhat strict and stiff feeling.

However, Lee Han felt slightly relieved just by the fact that she didnt badmouth Einroguard or ramble about how wonderful it would be to come to their magic tower after graduation.

She might be a good person.

His average expectations had dropped considerably due to the mages hed met recently.

Thank you for the magic demonstration you showed during todays visit. It surely left a deep impression on the other mages as well.

Not at all. It was inadequate magic, so Im only ashamed.

-Inadequate?

The Death Knights muttered as if dumbfounded, but Lee Han signaled them to shut up.

By the way, I heard that Senior Yukveltire sent a letter, and Im sorry. Because of the Principal

Are you referring to Yukveltires research?

Yes.

Thats insignificant research, so you dont need to help with it. Please proceed with your own research, Lord Wardanaz.

You really are Senior Yukveltires mother!

?

Ah. I apologize. Its nothing.

Lee Han quickly recovered, realizing it was rude.

It doesnt seem like such insignificant research though. If she could create an artificial dimension even locally

When researching magic, one must consider both possibility and utility upon success. To put it in Einroguard terms, it would be a failing grade. Moreover, shes even causing trouble for her friend.

Friend? Who

-Dark Magic School! She means the Dark Magic School!

One of the knights whispered desperately. Only then did Lee Han come to his senses.

Ah! You mean Senior Diret! I have so many other friends that I was momentarily confused about who you were referring to.

???

Erindarvel looked at the Wardanaz family mage as if he were strange.

Could there possibly be two Yukveltires at Einroguard?
