Episode 161
‘Was it this far to the front door?’
One of the Black Turtle Tower students thought to himself.
The sun had not risen yet, so the surroundings were dark. Maybe that’s why I felt more nervous and afraid.
“atmosphere. “Wait while I get ready.”
I don’t know anything else, but one thing was certain.
That boy from the Wardanaz family…
It’s really reassuring when you’re on the same side!
I was impressed by the way he cast various strengthening spells on the students, grabbed potions appropriate for the situation, and as if that wasn’t enough, he even summoned summons and dealt with the monsters one by one.
“Everything has been taken care of. let’s go.”
After finishing checking, Lee Han returned to the gathered students.
Dawn began to dawn behind them. A faint light emanated from behind Lee Han’s head.
The Black Turtle Tower student was instantly overwhelmed by the sacred sight.
“sun… The sun… ”
“Of course it will get popular. “Let’s go.”
“… … ”
“Do you want to go get hit? Do you just want to go?”
“Go, go.”
When Lee Han raised his staff and aimed, the Black Turtle Tower student immediately woke up from his fantasy.
I guess I went crazy for a moment!
* * *
The skeleton principal was floating in front of the main gate, waiting for the students. I felt an excitement in my soul, as if I was waiting for my first love.
How many people do you think fell?
“I do not know.”
It’s not fun. Anyway, 1/3 of them would have collapsed. Did you place the sleeper at the front?
“yes.”
The skeleton principal was satisfied with the warehouse manager’s answer.
To the unwary students, the sleepcatcher was a very deadly monster. Some people have probably gone off to dreamland by now.
Shadow monsters too?
“yes.”
excellent. The sunlight is still weak, so it will be difficult for students.
Shadow monsters are difficult monsters for students to deal with, as they might have prepared in advance.
The skeleton principal waited with excitement.
And that expression immediately changed to a straight face.
… Why are there so many numbers?
“It appears that the new students have excellent skills.”
The skeleton principal was dumbfounded by the warehouse manager’s reasonable answer.
No matter how good your skills are, you can’t get to the main gate without even one of the Iron Heads being eliminated!
“Seeing them gathered together, it looks like they have joined forces.”
… …
The skeleton principal looked away at those words.
Then I looked at Lee Han among the students.
Lee Han showed an expression that he knew nothing, but the skeleton principal had already guessed the situation.
… Come here for a moment.
Principal Skeleton called Lee Han aside. And he asked.
Are you dissatisfied with my educational policy?
“What are you saying…?” “Is that possible?”
Lee Han responded with a surprised expression.
Of course, I was thinking differently inside.
‘no. ‘How did you know?’
ruler. Look. You are playing by the river. But one of my friends fell into the river and was struggling. What will you do?
“Don’t they usually save you?”
okay. Let’s say I saved him. I think it’s a very stupid and foolish thing to do, but let’s put it that way! But another friend fell into the river and was struggling.
“Well… ”
Is the name of the river Einrogard?
I looked around and there was one more person, and another one… These are the friends who fell into the river! ruler. Think about it. Can you save all these friends?
“It seems unreasonable.”
yes! unrealistic. So, you have to teach your friends how to get out of the river on their own…
“Rather, shouldn’t we find out why our friends keep falling into the river and try to stop it?”
… …
The skeleton principal was speechless because he was caught off guard.
‘Oops.’
Lee Han immediately regretted it.
I should have just listened quietly, but my tongue did whatever it wanted…
… Let’s wait and see! Because one day, the friends you cherish will betray you!
The annoyed skeleton principal grunted and left.
‘You must be misunderstanding something.’
Lee Han didn’t pay much attention to the skeleton principal’s curse.
Because…
Because I didn’t really do this to save my friends.
Lee Han joined forces with his friends out of fear of being attacked if he went alone, and did not do this troublesome thing to save his friends from the river.
Perhaps because he was evil, Principal Skeleton always seemed to think Lee Han was too kind.
“Ango. “Are you okay?”
“eww… Yes? Are you okay?”
“okay. thank god.”
Lee Han patted Angago’s shoulder. Anrago became even more embarrassed.
‘why… ‘Why are you like this, you bastard?’
It was a really strange sound, but Angago felt more at ease when Wardanaz was harsh.
The kind Wodanaz was many times more scary than the harsh Wodanaz.
Lee Han looked at Anrago with an expectant expression.
‘How will I be found out?’
Pass.
“… ?!”
However, as a result of the unexpected result, the sullen principal opened the front door without properly checking the exit ticket.
The students left the main gate shouting with joy.
“I’m here! It’s out, Wardanaz! thank you! This bastard. “You are truly a genius!!”
Among them, Angago’s joy was bound to be even greater.
I passed through the main gate with a fake exit ticket, not a real exit ticket.
“… … ”
Lee Han’s expression hardened.
‘This bastard. ‘That doesn’t help.’
I was trying to find out what kind of magic the skeleton principal uses to check exit tickets…
“what’s the matter?”
“okay. “Good.”
Lee Han suddenly turned around.
The White Tiger Tower students were embarrassed by Lee Han’s sudden change in appearance.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Aren’t you embarrassed because you’re so thankful?”
“Wardanaz that guy… “There is something that is not right.”
When Lee Han returned, Gai Nando spoke in an excited voice.
“Lee Han! Do you want to go to the card store first? Or from the cafe?”
“Gainando.”
“?”
“Do you have money?”
“… !”
* * *
After passing through the main gate, the students dispersed and headed to the nearest village, Filone.
However, none of the students realized the most important problem.
… I have no money!
Gainando looked dazed by the sudden reality.
“… “Can’t you just say you’ll pay it back later?”
“Gainando. “There is no need for that.”
Asan said in a confident voice.
“Because there will definitely be family members waiting in Filone Village.”
“ah!”
Not only the Dalkad family, but all the families of the students here will have mansions prepared and waiting for them in Filone Village.
This is natural for a great noble family of the empire.
However, Lee Han looked at Asan with a sad expression.
You will soon find out the reality.
10 minutes later.
“… … ”
“… … ”
Asan and Gaynando looked at each other with blank expressions.
“Why, why aren’t there any?”
“So they went to Grandeur City… ”
“why??”
“I don’t know. “Isn’t everything wizards do strange?”
The villagers shrugged and walked by.
The shock they felt was similar to when they heard the news that the sky had fallen.
“Okay, I have a good idea.”
Gainando spoke in an urgent voice.
“What are you thinking?”
“Let’s go to a wealthy person in the village and borrow money using the name of the family.”
“Are you a beggar!?”
Asan was astonished by Gaynando’s words.
Isn’t it like borrowing money and throwing your family’s honor into the mud for a few pennies?
You became a noble of the empire and tried to do such a dirty thing.
“… … ”
Lee Han was dumbfounded inside.
‘You can borrow it, bastard…’ ‘
Even nobles have to borrow money if they don’t have money, so do they starve to death?
“Everyone stop it. “Because I have money.”
“uh? “Where did you get it?”
“I borrowed it with collateral.”
“As expected, it’s Wardanaz.”
“… … ”
Gainando glared at Asan as if he were going to kill him when he saw Asan praising him like he was flipping his palm over.
“hey… When I ask to borrow money, they ask me if I’m a beggar… !”
“There is a difference between borrowing in your family’s name and borrowing as collateral. Gainando.”
Asan looked at Guyando as if asking what he was talking about.
‘This bastard…’ ‘
Gainando walked away, vowing to crush Asan with the new set of cards he would buy at the store.
‘what? But what did Lee Han entrust with collateral?’
* * *
“no. “Aren’t you the warehouse mover from last time?”
When the store owner saw Lee Han, he sat down and immediately ran out.
His expression was as happy as meeting an angel in hell.
“Why are you so happy?”
“I know?”
Friends soon found out why.
“The story of how he bought several weeks worth of goods at once and carried them away is still widely known.”
“It’s embarrassing, so the nickname ‘warehouse mover’ is a bit embarrassing.”
“Why? It’s an honorable title… ”
The store owner did not understand Lee Han’s reaction.
Isn’t it an honorable title that symbolizes a big player in the shopping district?
“hey. Moon card. Look at this. “It’s a new set of cards!”
“uh.”
“wow… ! “There’s even a principal!”
“Then buy it.”
Asan answered half-heartedly. Then, Gai Nando looked with a straight face.
“no. “The principal is a garbage card because there are too many penalties to use it properly.”
“Yes, yes.”
While Gaynando and Asan played in the toy corner, Ihan and Yoner had a serious conversation.
“I don’t think we need any fabric yet. Let’s fill it with groceries.”
“We ran out of a lot of sugar… “Canned food is still good, but we’re already out of cookies and candy.”
“I can’t help it. Still, it’s much better than last time.”
“It’s a new question, but… “How did you bring everything with you last time?”
Lee Han did not answer.
Now that I think about it, I realize that it was an ignorant thing to do.
‘This time, we have to share and take everything with us.’
There were supplies left and there were many people, so it was clear that it would be much more relaxed than last time.
“Is it roughly like this? “I can afford it because I only have to buy it before the sun sets.”
“Lee Han. “Can I buy this?”
Gainando came by with a set of cards. Lee Han nodded. Anyway, Gainan was also about money.
“The problem is the midterm exam. I need to buy a book on geometry. “I couldn’t find it in the library.”
“Lee Han. “Can I buy this too?”
Guy Nando came by with a set of toys that ran on their own. Lee Han nodded.
“I think I’ll need an alchemy book too.”
“Of course it is. “It was very difficult to find materials-related books at the library.”
I wondered if the students had to go out and buy books because some damn school didn’t provide them with the books they needed…
Neither Ihan nor Yoner complained about that anymore.
‘okay. The original library might not be a place that gives books to people without skills.’
It may be unusual to have a library where the books are systematically and well categorized, and libraries that are like this jumbled labyrinth are the norm…
“Lee Han. Buy this too… ”
“ah! “Buy it yourself!”
When Yoner shouted, Gainando was startled.
“that… There’s nothing to be so angry about… ”
“for a moment.”
Lee Han spotted a familiar face outside the store window.
It was Baldororn, an excellent illusion wizard who taught Lee Han the basics of destroying illusion magic the other day.
“Do you know someone?”
“He is an excellent wizard who taught me magic last time. You’re on your feet! Baldororn!”
Waldororn, who was passing by on the street, turned his head and was startled when someone called him.
The new student from Einrogard that I met last time has appeared in the village again.
And this time, bring your friends with you!
‘no… No, how come first graders show up so often??
Have the rules changed?
While Waldororn hesitated in embarrassment, Lee Han led his friends and approached.
“This person is Baldororn. An excellent illusion wizard. Thanks to learning from this person, I was able to break the illusion spell. really. Waldororn. “Thanks to what you taught me last time, I was able to stay safe when dealing with other illusion wizards.”
“Who did you meet?”
Waldororn, who was embarrassed, asked without thinking.
Will a first-year student ever deal with another fantasy wizard?
“Probably his name is Ogonin…” ”
“… yes????????”
