“If your disciple is outstanding, you should be thankful. Why are you angry?”
The capital’s stonemasons’ guild members were also angry.
In fact, they were not really angry, but more like they just wanted to yell at Professor Verdus.
The anger was there from the beginning…
“Even though they are taught the same way, each student achieves something different, so why are you complaining like that? Tsk tsk.”
-Strictly speaking, Professor Burdus didn’t teach… um. No.
The death knight muttered and then paused.
Still, I couldn’t reveal too many of the school’s secrets to outsiders.
Strictly speaking, the truth is that Professor Verdus never taught anything, and his successor learned everything on his own!
While everyone was talking behind him, Lee Han felt proud for the first time in a long time.
‘Maybe this is why we study.’
It was good to learn the ways of the world and expand one’s horizons, but it was also good to see the professor’s face as he stamped his feet as if he was going to die.
If only I could see Professor Verdus’ face like that, I think I could challenge myself with 5th circle magic and the small world…
‘That’s not it.’
Lee Han immediately came to his senses.
I guess I was just too excited to see Professor Burdus get angry.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
Professor Burdus, unlike usual, did not give up and glared at the tower to find some fault with it.
The other seniors looked at the professor with a pitiful look on their faces.
‘You don’t usually lecture that diligently.’
‘A guy who wouldn’t even look at anything I made…’
When I was teaching, I wanted to hit the back of the head of someone who used to just roughly check whatever he made. But when I saw him so focused, I wanted to hit him in the back of the head.
“Professor, how about you find fault with the excessive consumption of magic power?”
“Are you an idiot?! Consuming magic power means nothing to Wardanaz!”
Professor Burdus suddenly got angry at the student whispering next to him.
Despite this, the student smiled without being embarrassed.
“Oh, well then. Then I guess there’s nothing I can do.”
“… … ”
Lee Han looked at his senior in disbelief.
What was even more absurd was that other seniors were expressing regret, saying, ‘Oh, I should have done that.’
How many opportunities will there be to mock Professor Burdus like that?
“This is… well made.”

Eventually, Professor Burdus gave up and declared surrender. His attitude was so gloomy that it was hard to believe that he was usually such a bright and cheerful professor.
At that moment, the seniors rushed in with a cheer loud enough to shake the classroom.
“Wordanaz! Wordanaz!”
“Hero of Ainrogard!”
The seniors shouted and shook Lee Han.
“I knew you’d take down Professor Verdus someday! You punk!”
The knights whispered to the bewildered members of the Capital Stonemasons’ Guild.
-They are usually much more well-behaved and conscientious students.
“Ah… yes.”
While the seniors were busy throwing and catching their juniors, Professor Burdus turned his gaze.
“Want to see the next piece?”
“…for a moment.”
The students who had been in a frenzy came back to their senses as if they had been splashed with cold water.
After quickly putting the junior down, we each hurried back to our seats and started racking our brains to figure out how to fix the work.
“Ugh.”
“Ugh, sob.”
As the noisy scene just now became a lie, the knights whispered to their guild members again.
-They are usually much more cheerful and bright students.
“… … ”
Lee Han, who had returned to the ground, quickly blocked Professor Verdus’ path. It was not difficult to block the path since the opponent was still walking on all fours.
I glanced back and saw my seniors still desperately trying to fix their work.
‘I have to buy time.’
It was normal for seniors to protect their juniors, but that kind of thought didn’t even cross Lee Han’s mind at the moment.
You must protect your seniors from the evil Professor Verdus!
“Professor, please take a closer look at my work.”
“What? Why?”
“Well… because I want to develop further.”
It was just a casual remark, but it sounded somewhat plausible. Lee Han nodded and continued.
“Okay. Don’t just ignore it because it’s annoying. Tell me what needs to be improved.”
“I told you it was well made??”
“No, Professor. Are you saying that you can’t think of any room for improvement?”
It was a sharp provocation, but it didn’t work on a person as confident as Professor Burdus.
Professor Burdus answered firmly.
“It’s perfect, what room for improvement is there?”
“… Is that so? It’s disappointing. Senior Yukveltire pointed out areas for improvement as soon as he saw them.”

“?!!”
Professor Burdus was astonished.
“?!!!!”
And Yukveltyre was even more surprised.
when?!
“When did I?!”
“Shh. Be quiet. We need to control the professor who is going crazy.”
If left alone, Professor Burdus will tear down everything in sight in the classroom and turn the atmosphere into hell.
At least they should have put a chain on it.
“Eung… Eung… Eung…”
When Professor Verdus heard that Yukveltire had found room for improvement, he began to concentrate again without a single doubt.
He was so focused that it seemed like he could burn down the tower with just his mental power, without using any magic.
“Professor, if you can’t think of any room for improvement right away, there’s nothing I can do.”
“Just wait!”
“No. Come back later. Don’t you have to give a lecture first?”
“I told you to wait! I can’t let this go!”
Professor Burdus was dragged to the podium in front of the classroom, struggling. The knights put a chain around the professor’s neck to help Lee Han.
-Use this.
“thank you.”
For a moment, Lee Han wondered if it was okay for Professor Burdus to do this, but decided to think about it later.
“The tower again…”
“Okay. Anyone have questions? The professor will be answering your questions!”
Lee Han shouted loudly to lighten the mood. The seniors looked at him as if to say, “If you were my junior, would you want to ask a question in this atmosphere?”
However, Lee Han had already crossed the river. He could not turn back now that he had come this far.
“Anyone with questions?”
“…Okay. Okay. I’ll do it.”
One of the seniors raised his hand, perhaps feeling sorry or sorry for his junior.
He was a senior who knew Lee Han-do’s face, and he was from the same top Marcang family.
“Professor. Actually, I am constructing a wooden tower so that it can be used in areas where stone cannot be used, but I would like to ask about the list of woods that can be combined. My combination is like this, but what combination do you think is…”
“Was there a problem with the rubber magic? Or not?”
“yes?”
“The rubber magic was cast perfectly…”
“… Professor. The junior tower just finished earlier.”
“Huh? Huh?”
Professor Burdus seemed to have split personalities. One personality was still pondering the disciple’s tower, and the other personality was answering the disciple’s questions…

… I didn’t do anything, I was just staring blankly.
“If you’re going to make a pagoda! What combination will you use!?”
“Uh… here. This combination.”
Professor Burdus quickly wrote down the names of several spirit trees. Not only Aldeh, but also the other seniors were delighted by his appearance.
How can someone who would normally waste several times my time saying useless things like, “Find out what you want,” “Think about it,” or “You can’t do that” answer me right away?
“Professor! I have a question too!”
“Is the part that Yukveltire pointed out for improvement earlier the foundation of the tower?”
Professor Burdus, unable to let go of his foolishness, asked Lee Han a question.
Lee Han answered coolly.
“If you answer my senior’s question first, I will answer mine as well.”
“Huh? Who asked what?”
At the gesture of the junior, the seniors quickly started asking questions.
A flood of questions he had never asked before came flooding in, but Professor Burdus answered them immediately without any hesitation.
“Professor. I want to control the power of the spirits, but at what level should I…?”
“At the very least, you should be able to claim to be a noble. Look for it among the rock spirits. By the way, is there a problem with the flight-granting magic?”
“Professor, what you were talking about earlier about the countercurrent? What if we added some magic to disperse the force at the edge of the tower?”
“In that case, it would be better to install the lightning induction magic by dividing it into the edges from the beginning. Is it possible that the problem is not the flight-granting magic but the lightning magic?”
The seniors were all impressed by Professor Burdus’ new appearance.
You answered my question so directly!
Of course, I asked a few more useless questions later, but even this much was enough to get me thinking.
In the first place, didn’t Professor Verdus usually say dozens of useless things?
“Hey. Send me a paper bag and tell me to let you know quickly if there’s anything I haven’t been able to ask you before.”
“I already sent it. Haha. I never thought that Professor Burdus would change like this.”
“… But this is something a professor should do…”
Come to think of it, this was basic for someone like Professor Garcia.
I felt a little resentful that he was happy to answer my questions.
Still, Professor Burdus faithfully finished his lecture during the remaining time. It was a Q&A session that even the stonemasons from the capital could not help but acknowledge.
“Thank you for your hard work, Professor Verdus.”
“Any hints? Are these improvements to cost rather than magic?”
“…Anyway, thank you for your hard work!”
The guild members flinched slightly.
I felt oppressed by the sight of Professor Burdus muttering continuously as if he was possessed by something.
The knights who were watching the scene began to get worried.
‘What are you trying to do?’
Despite the knights’ dislike of Professor Verdus, they respected his magical abilities.

Can you give me a convincing explanation of the improvements that Professor Burdus failed to find?
“Thank you for your hard work, Professor.”
“What can be improved?!”
-Professor Verdus. Don’t you have any pride? Asking your disciple…
“No! What is it!”
The knight who tried to help Lee Han was left speechless.
Of course, it would be impossible to accept the criticism that a person who crawls on all fours has no self-respect.
“professor.”
“huh!”
“I’m sorry. That was a lie.”
After saying those words, Lee Han ran out using all the magical power he had.
“… Then, goodbye!”
The Capital Stonemason Guild members who had been standing there blankly and Yukveltyre also quickly greeted each other and ran out after realizing the situation.
“… … ”
The knights said, feeling slightly sorry as they looked at Professor Burdus’ dazed face.
-I’ll treat you to a special meal today.
* * *
Lee Han ran like crazy. For a while, it seemed like he shouldn’t go to the area where Professor Burdus was hanging out.
‘… But I’ve never seen Professor Burdus angry.’
Unlike the other professors, it was hard to imagine Professor Burdus being angry.
Are you biting it with your front teeth?
In any case, there was no good in approaching him in any way. Lee Han made up his mind once again.
“Wow, student Wodanaz! Student Wodanaz!”
“!”
He thought he had put enough distance between himself, but when someone called him from behind, Lee Han exclaimed, “Oh no.”
‘Still making such a naive mistake!’
“Joe, wait a minute! How on earth did you get here so quickly…”
The stonemason guild members were on the verge of collapse from exhaustion because Lee Han ran much faster than expected.
‘Hmm. There’s no chance that these people were bribed by Professor Verdus.’
After thinking about something very rude, Lee Han opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry. I have a habit of running after class.”
“… … ”
Anyone could see that it was because of Professor Burdus, but the guild members didn’t point it out for nothing.
“Very good habits. But I have a suggestion for you. Would you be interested in joining us as an advisor in the construction of a magical structure?”
“It seems like it will be difficult.”

“I thought you’d be interested… huh?”
The guild members were confused.
For a wizard interested in such matters, an offer as tempting as this one was hard to refuse.
Why on earth?
“If it’s not too much trouble, may I ask why? Did Professor Verdus give some ridiculous order…?”
The members of the Stonemason’s Guild were suspicious of Professor Verdus.
Normally, when something happens, the person you hate is the first to be suspected, but even aside from that, Professor Verdus was suspicious.
Aren’t you a professor at the Buyeo Magic School?
“that is…”
Lee Han answered with a very troubled expression.
“… I’m currently receiving too many requests…”
“… … ”
The guild members’ eyes widened at the completely unexpected answer.
