Episode 146
Lee Han was shaken but not surprised.
It was expected to some extent.
It wouldn’t be a professor if he would just let a student who couldn’t complete his quota take a break.
“All right.”
haha. Don’t misunderstand that I’m bothering you.
“haha. of course.”
The skeleton principal gave Lee Han a look filled with subtle anticipation, as if asking him to confront him, but Lee Han did not give in.
“But Professor Verdus… “Are you always like that?”
okay. Professor Verdus said… He’s basically that kind of person.
The two understood each other without having to say anything specifically.
Just do it in moderation. Why did you work so hard to catch the eye of Professor Verdus? Tsk tsk.
“?”
Lee Han paused.
The skeleton principal’s words were complex and strange.
“Besides the fact that I couldn’t do it properly, the professor didn’t particularly like it.”
In Lee Han’s opinion, Professor Verdus did not rate Lee Han very highly.
Even while performing the enchantment, they continued to point out and complain.
-Did you fail? Why is that so? Oh my. It’s not difficult…
-Am I lacking too much talent?
-If I fail like this… really… Too bad… I feel sorry…
-Talent compared to passion…
It was a shame because no matter what the professors said, I could hear it with one ear and ignore it with the other. If it were another freshman, it wouldn’t have been strange if they had grabbed me by the collar seriously.
That’s how much I liked it. Professor Verdus is a guy who doesn’t even take care of his students.
“Not everyone says that… ”
What did you say?
“it’s nothing.”
Lee Han thought carefully about the skeleton principal’s words.
Professor Bible may have been a bit of an eccentric person, but… No, he didn’t seem like someone who would force Lee Han to teach like other professors.
Moreover, it seemed like they didn’t have much expectations about Lee Han’s talent.
‘I was just listening to what you said earlier. I think you’ll understand if I say I won’t listen.’
It must be quite difficult during this festive week.
The skeleton principal said mischievously.
Professor Boladi’s tent needs to run for a few more days, and the Skeleton Headmaster’s magic fireworks haven’t been made yet…
‘for a moment. Professor Alpen’s magic circle isn’t even complete yet.’
Lee Han folded his fingers and calculated. No matter how much I thought about it, it was too severe.
Do you have time?
“however… “I feel like time is physically impossible for me.”
It’s a shame. Still, if you’re a student, it’s more fun to prepare for the festival than to take classes, right?
“I just think classes would be better… ”
Lee Han, who was speaking, suddenly felt something strange and stopped.
“Aren’t you going to class?”
I was told to rest during the festival. Thank you, right?
“Thank you… uh… “Professor Boladi gave a lecture?”
Did you?
The skeleton principal was puzzled.
Then he said it casually.
Well, that could be it.
“… … ”
When Lee Han graduated, he didn’t know whether he should visit Professor Boladi or the skeleton principal first.

It was a spring festival, and the Blue Dragon Tower lounge was full of spring energy.
The friends hung up here and there unidentified flowers picked from the fields and wrote down fun events on the blackboard.
Gainando wore a cone hat made for him by the priest and munched on a thin cream-covered biscuit given to him as a gift by a confectioner who came in from outside.
“Gainando! “Take this!”
“joy! “I knew I would receive it!”
When a friend who came in from behind threw a clumsy straw doll, Gainando hurriedly rolled to the side to avoid it.
One of the events frequently performed during the Spring Festival was the throwing of dolls containing bad luck.
If someone else receives it, they believe that their bad luck will go to that person for a season.
“late! “How stupid!”
“Oh, no!”
Another friend who was waiting quickly threw a doll at Guy Nando. Gainando was in tears after receiving the doll.
“Others! Someone else come out!”
However, the friends in the break room had already finished preparing after seeing Guyando receive the doll.
Gainando, who saw his friends hiding behind furniture or waiting with their hands behind their backs, pointed his finger and criticized them.
“Cowardice! “That’s cowardice!”
“Any means or method is allowed at the Spring Festival. Gainando.”
At that time, the lounge door opened and someone came in.
Gainando became angry and turned the straw doll back. The idea was to catch his opponent off guard and then throw.
Suddenly.
Lee Han opened the door and came in with the most tired face in the world.
As the sun went down, the intense evening glow deepened the shadows on Lee Han’s face.
“… … ”
“… … ”
The Blue Dragon Tower friends, who had been excited just a moment ago, suddenly felt sorry for no reason.
Some students quietly put aside the toys they had been playing with just a moment ago.
Asan, who was scribbling on the blackboard, turned it over without realizing it.
The princess, who was playing chess with her followers, pulled the student next to her and made him sit in front of the chessboard while she pretended to read a book.
The tired face of the friend who always cooked meals had the power to make all the Blue Dragon Tower students feel ashamed and sorry.
“Why is everyone like that? “Is it because of me?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
“You don’t have to worry about me, just play like you do. “I don’t know why you’re acting strangely.”
“Yeah, right?”
“haha. “I don’t know.”
The friends quietly took out the toys they had put away. Asan turned over her blackboard again. The princess put away her book and took up her chess piece again.
Gainando approached Lee Han with shining eyes. The doll hidden behind his back shook.
“Lee Han… ”
“Hey, you cowardly and mean bastard!”
“You’re still human?!”
Two students from the Blue Dragon Tower ran to Gainando, grabbed his arms, and pulled him out.
No human being could have given a straw doll to such an exhausted Wardanaz.
“Let go of this! Let go of this! “All means and methods are permitted!”
“Quiet!”
Lee Han fell down on the sofa as he watched Guyando being dragged away.
I was so exhausted that I didn’t have the strength to ask Guyando why he was acting like that.
“Did everyone enjoy the festival?”
“of course. Wardanaz. “What did you do?”
“I was running Professor Boladi’s tent, and then I was stuck in the workshop making magic fireworks at the request of the Skeleton Headmaster.”
“… hey. Put away your toys. “Put it away.”
After hearing Lee Han’s words, the friends hurriedly tried to get rid of the toys they had received at the festival.
Lee Han waved his hand and stopped him.
“I said it was done… And everyone be careful when the principal sets off magic fireworks. “Don’t get too close.”
“why?”
Gai Nando, whose straw doll was confiscated by his friends, asked in confusion.
“Just don’t do it you bastard.”
“What did I do wrong…” !”
Gainando felt mortified.
Of course, I tried to throw a straw doll at Lee Han, who was tired, but… !
A girl with red hair handed me a hot, steaming tin cup.
There was a small note attached.
-Free! (If you ask for the price, please contact Kainando)
“… thank you. “Yoner.”
“Why with something like this?”
“… “Am I too obsessed with price?”
Ihan suddenly became a little concerned and asked Yoner. Yoner made a fool of himself.
“very?”
As soon as I drank the hot coffee with a lot of sugar, I felt like I was regaining my senses to some degree.
Lee Han asked his friends.
“What did everyone do at the festival today?”
“I helped Professor Thunderstruck. “We had an event where we got to make and drink various potions, and even the guests from outside liked it.”
“indeed… If I start a business later, I might be able to hold events like this periodically… ”
“Lee Han. “Maybe you were born for gold.”
Yoner was impressed by Lee Han, who came up with such a sparkling business idea even when he collapsed from exhaustion.
“I was standing in line to get snacks earlier. “A cookie maker came in from outside.”
“Is that okay?”
“I heard you came in with permission? “I guess the priests called.”
“After all, they are priests… ”
The students were moved and whispered.
In this land where even the professors had abandoned the only people who could be trusted were priests.
“And there were a lot of guests from outside? “I saw people from another school earlier.”
“what? really? where?”
“I don’t know where it is because I can’t tell you… I wasn’t in the mood to ask. “She left with her nose bleeding.”
“ah. I know? I also saw the White Tiger Tower guys leaving with their noses bleeding earlier. what?”
Lee Han, who was lying down, warned his friends.
“right. “Don’t even come close to Professor Boladi’s tent.”
“why?”
Gainando asked without thinking.
“Just don’t do it you bastard.”
“Why do you keep harassing Wodanaz!”
“ah… no!”
Gainando became doubly aggrieved by his friends’ mistreatment.
You might be curious!
“I was thinking about it because Wardanaz was talking about magic fireworks. Didn’t the principal say that he would hold a magic firework event?”
“I heard you were going to do something other than magic fireworks… “I suddenly feel uncomfortable.”
“But I was originally uncomfortable with everything the principal did.”
“but. Should I avoid all events?”
Lee Han lay down and listened to his friends talking.
‘I didn’t expect so many customers from outside to come in. ‘It’s a shame.’
If I had known, I would have used this to try to escape…
It was truly a shame.
‘But it’s not over yet.’
As if Lee Han’s work with Professor Boladi, Headmaster Skull, and others wasn’t over yet, the Spring Festival had only just begun today.
In the remaining time, I will try to find a way to escape by contacting guests from outside as much as possible!
… Of course, I have to run Professor Boladi’s tent, make the skull headmaster’s magic fireworks, complete Professor Alphen’s magic circle, and contact him in my spare time, but anyway…
“Lee Han.”
As Ihan finished drinking his coffee, Yoner whispered in a low voice. He seemed careful not to let his other friends hear him.
“what’s the matter? “Have you ever attacked Kainando?”
“no. It’s not like that… ”
Yoner took out a vial of potion. Then he said with a serious expression.
“Don’t be surprised and listen to what I say now.”
“okay.”
“… “It looks like it could be a real griffon.”
“Right.”
“Aren’t you surprised?”
“I wouldn’t be surprised anymore if Gainando was actually a Kraken. Joner. let’s go.”
Lee Han stood up from his seat.
Aside from being tired, I had to check this for myself.
* * *
After hearing Lee Han’s words, Yoner was skeptical and asked the priests of the Flemain Church.
As a result, a surprising truth was revealed.
… The potion that Ponrigg in the stable drank was not a potion for animal transformation, but a potion for removing a curse spell.
“But Lee Han… Anyway, the lightning-walking professor? “It doesn’t make sense.”
“Yoner. Don’t trust the professor. No, don’t trust anyone at school.”
Lee Han said seriously. Yoner nodded.
If that horse was really a griffon, Yoner didn’t think any of the professors would believe him.
-Kung.
Sharkan, who followed Lee Han, barked next to him. I didn’t know that Lee Han could speak leopard language, but I thought I knew what Sharkan was saying.
‘You’re probably just saying, ‘What did I say?’
Lee Han patted Sharkan as if he was sorry. I was even more sorry that I couldn’t pay attention because of the festival.
When we arrived at the stable, the door opened with a squeak.
And Ihan and Yoner made eye contact with the person coming out of the stable.
It was a person whose entire body and face were covered with black cloth.
“… Ratford… No! Yoner! “He’s a thief!”
“!!!”
