Episode 201
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
-I think it’s true that you’re being threatened.
The devil wasn’t a devil for nothing. He quickly grasped the situation with devilish skill.
Ancient wizards trained their students in a much harsher manner than today.
For a demon who had lived since ancient times, the current situation was not that difficult to understand.
Of course, that didn’t mean Professor Boladi looked like a normal person.
Even in ancient times, it was rare for a teacher to lead his students to fight against the devil.
-No matter what, you’re forcing your disciple to fight the devil… Crazy wizard. If you keep acting like that, your student might stab you in the back while you sleep.
Lee Han wanted to cheer for the devil whose name he didn’t know.
Tell me more!
“Fight.”
Professor Boladi did not even listen and urged the devil.
Even the devil did not listen and ignored it.
-hate. Hanging out with crazy people is a thing of the past. Don’t involve me in your magicians’ crazy training.
“If you don’t fight, I will attack.”
-Do you think I will give in to the pain?
“Tell me what conditions you want.”
Professor Boladi immediately changed his attitude to persuade the devil.
Of course, it didn’t work for the devil, who was forcibly summoned and beaten, and then told, ‘I still wish you would fight a little more.’
-Even if I were given half the world, I wouldn’t sign a contract with a crazy person like you.
After speaking, the devil looked at Lee Han. Thanks to giving him time, he was able to recall beings who were similar to Lee Han in his memories.
-You are of the Wardanaz family lineage. I will sympathize with you and remember you. Young wizard. If you ever make a contract with me, I will show you mercy.
Lee Han didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
I felt sympathy for an ancient demon I had never seen before…
Professor Boladi whispered next to him.
“Sign a contract now. Then tell them to fight.”
-I will never accept a contract like that. Photon bastard.
The devil cursed Professor Boladi and opened a portal. Then he went back to where he was.
Professor Boladi looked slightly gloomy. It was a very rare sight.
“it’s okay. professor. “I learned a lot.”
“It was too short. “It was unfortunate.”
“no. “This is enough.”
Lee Han comforted him, but Professor Boladi did not listen.
“I guess I’ll have to find a new one.”
“… … ”
The vampire professor sent shivers down Lee Han’s spine.
‘for a moment. This person could not be… ‘
When Lee Han came out of the forest, he remembered that Professor Boladi was taking an unusual night walk.
no way?
‘… I guess I wasn’t looking for an enemy I could deal with… ?’
I felt cold goosebumps that could never match the magical cold.
widely!
Professor Boladi untied the ropes that bound Professor Verdus.
asked the freed beaver beastman professor.
“Why did you tie me up!?”
“So as not to get hurt.”
“ah. Right.”
Professor Verdus was immediately convinced and nodded. I wasn’t even angry.
‘We need to get these two away quickly.’
To be honest, it was interesting to see what would happen if they kept putting it on, but there was a high probability that it wouldn’t be good for Lee Han.
Lee Han tried to separate the two.
“But why?”
“For the disciple’s training.”
“Why that way?”
“He is a teacher.”
“Why Master?”
“What a teacher should do.”
However, before Lee Han could intervene, the two professors quickly exchanged questions and answers in language that only they could understand.
Professor Verdus did not understand.
The teacher has to spoon-feed everything one by one.
Then, isn’t being a teacher a very painful and difficult position?
No wizard would undertake such a task.
Professor Boladi responded firmly to Professor Verdus’s theory.
“I’m better.”
“is it?”
Lee Han was astonished by the faint pride in Professor Boladi’s voice.
Of course, in some ways, Professor Boladi could have been a better teacher than Professor Verdus…
That was definitely not a boast.
Just as studying better than Kainando is not something to be proud of!
“You better pay more attention.”
“no. “My time is more important to me.”
“Do whatever you want. “I will go find another enemy.”
Lee Han was shocked by Professor Boladi’s words.
The suspicion I had earlier turned out to be true.
‘Was this what you were really looking for?’
“enemy?”
“The reason I said earlier.”
“ah. training. uh… A dimensional overlap occurred on the upper floor of the main building. I think it’ll be okay there. how is it?”
“Thank you.”
“… … ”
Lee Han cursed himself for not being able to separate the two quickly.
* * *
Sigh!
Lee Han and his Blue Dragon Tower students were gathered in front of the stream, preparing fish.
Although we had gathered enough food, no one knew how long the cold would last.
We had to gather as much edible food as possible.
“… Lee Han. “Do you have any concerns?”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Is that because you’ve been sighing dozens of times since a while ago?”
“ah. Did you? “Be careful.”
“No, I’m not telling you to be careful… ”
Lee Han cut open the belly of the fish he caught, removed the head, and washed it under running water. Then he sprinkled salt on it and hung it next to it.
Even though I had a lot of worries, my hand movements were smooth. So much so that his friends who were watching next to him were amazed.
“Wardanaz. What’s going on? “Has Makin been bothering you?”
When Asan asked, Gainando was surprised.
“Makin harassed Lee Han?! Hey guys! Makin… ”
Yoner sprinkled the salt he was holding on Guynando’s face.
“Lee Han. We are friends. “If you have any concerns, can you tell me?”
“Maybe I should go to the corridors of the Twisted Dimension and solve the cold problem.”
“… … ”
“… … ”
“… Why on earth did you do that?”
“i get it. Wardanaz feels responsible now… ”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Makin. “What do you know!”
Asan was cut off and grumbled at Yoner.
Meanwhile, Black Turtle Tower students appeared from the other side holding fishing rods.
“right. “The Black Turtle Tower guys made a furnace out of bricks.”
Black Turtle Tower students, who have excellent living skills, built a fire pit in an empty lot near the black market.
It was to withstand the cold weather.
“A fire pit?”
“uh. “I heard they grilled various things.”
“I can make it for you if you want.”
Salko approached and opened his mouth. The Blue Dragon Tower students were delighted.
“really?!”
“I didn’t tell you guys. “I told it to Wardanaz.”
Salko growled, causing the Blue Dragon Tower students to retreat.
Lee Han nodded as if he understood.
“Do you want to trade for fish? Or with meat? “I’m sorry, but sugar, tea leaves, and coffee powder cannot be traded.”
“… I didn’t come here to exchange, but to repay what I received last time. Wardanaaz.”
Salko looked at Lee Han as if he was dumbfounded.
It was a reward for helping Lee Han with cold resistance magic while going around each tower.
“what? Are you really just doing it?”
“Yes.”
In response, Gainando next to him muttered.
“Is it suspicious?”
“shut up.”
“no… ”
Gainando was in tears.
Lee Han was suspicious too!
“Then I will be grateful.”
“Your expression seems dark. Is there something you’re worried about?”
Asan answered Salko’s question instead.
“Wardanaz is now trying to target the source of this cold problem.”
“… … ”
Salko, who had been growling just now, looked at Lee Han in surprise.
“… I respect you. Wardanaz. “I never thought I would say this, but you are truly noble.”
“Just make a fire pit and go.”
Lee Han answered in a slightly tired voice.
It was too much of a hassle to explain it now.

>Basic Imperial Language and Logic>.
It was quite an essential lecture for young wizards who would often encounter all kinds of surreal beings in the future.
These beings, such as spirits, demons, and angels, were not necessarily hostile, but sometimes they were more dangerous because they were not hostile.
If a contract is made clumsily, a wizard’s life can become very complicated.
That is why wizards at magic schools have been thoroughly trained in these areas since they were young.
>Basic Imperial Language and Logic> was a lecture that helped with this.
-Today, we will read the contract between the wizard Folkelvalas and the devil, which took place in the year 117 of the Imperial Calendar…
-Does the original Devil’s Contract make listeners fall asleep?
-Maybe… I don’t know.
-It’s truly demonic. Devil, I have lost. I will surrender… snoring.
And of course it wasn’t fun at all.
Although lectures on building the basics are generally not interesting, >Basic Imperial Language and Logic> was especially bad.
We read all the cases one by one, looking for parts that could be read ambiguously or misunderstood, and if there was a regional dialect of the empire in the case, we translated it accurately, and if there were old words or archaic words, we translated them again…
Even someone like Lee Han had to grit his teeth to survive.
“huh?”
“Why isn’t the professor coming?”
As the professor did not come in, a faint anticipation began to appear on the students’ faces.
Could it be that the professor isn’t coming today?
Could it be that the professor isn’t coming next week?
Everyone, don’t be surprised. Professor Walter Javier lost his mind during the contract and went to the temple.
“… … ”
The faces of the students who had been looking forward to it just now were filled with shock and guilt.
I expected it, but I didn’t expect something like this.
Take this incident as a lesson and be more careful when signing contracts in the future. Professor Fluwork. Come in.
“thank you.”
‘Are you a bureaucrat?’
Lee Han was puzzled as he saw the chestnut-haired fox beastman professor come in.
After meeting former imperial officials a few times, I was able to distinguish to some extent between those who were former bureaucrats and those who were wizards.
Those with a bureaucratic background are comparatively more…
… He seemed less crazy.
And Professor Fleawalk. Professor Walter Xavier had a mental breakdown and went to the temple, but he made sure to tell His Majesty that this was not a dangerous thing at the magic school, but an unavoidable accident of the science of magic…
“yes yes. No need to worry. ruler. Then, let’s start the lecture. I am Professor Rosine Fleawalk. “Please take care of everyone.”
Professor Rosine sent the skeleton principal out and greeted him coolly.
The students were happy to see that attitude, but looked at him with a bit of caution.
I had already been hurt too much by my professors.
But Professor Rosine didn’t care.
“How far did Professor Walter Xavier go?”
“You even had the unfortunate wizard Gurgu who made a bad contract with the three-headed giant.”
“great! “Shall the student read it once and tell me what his mistakes are?”
“… … ”
The student who was singled out for giving an answer earlier was in tears.
>Basic Imperial Language and Logic> Considering the difficulty level of the lecture, there was no chance of hearing good things about it.
The other friends coldly avoided eye contact.
‘cheer up.’
‘Don’t look at me. ‘Because I don’t want to present it.’
10 minutes later.
“Very good!”
“omg. Is that true?”
“Of course, I made mistakes in about 41 places, but I’m a first year student, so that’s great. ruler. “Everyone applaud!”
“???”
The students clapped with bewildered expressions.
However, Professor Rosine’s lecture had only just begun.
1 hour later.
By the end of the lecture, all the students had become Professor Rosine’s followers.
“professor! “I’ll read it!”
“professor! “I’ll try it!”
‘Why is someone like this at magic school?’
Lee Han was surprised.
I thought good people were kicked out at the school gate…
“Professor, where were you working before you came here?”
“I was working as an imperial dispatch manager.”
A position that dispatches various talents of the empire, including wizards, to the right place.
This was something that could not be done unless one had a wide network of friends and friendly relationships.
I also understood such a positive personality.
‘for a moment. Then, wouldn’t it be possible to recommend it to a government position?’
A dream that had been buried for a while began to sparkle again.
Lee Han realized that the reason he had been studying >Basic Imperial Language and Logic> so hard was for a moment like this.
“I’ll read it too!”
“woah… Wardanaz. Why suddenly… ”
“hey. Put your hands down quickly. Wardanaz said he would read it. Do you want to be compared?”
The friends around me grumbled and lowered their hands.
Does someone who gets a lot of compliments in other lectures have to get compliments here as well?
‘ah. He is the Wardanaz family.’
Professor Rosine recognized Lee Han who raised his hand. Before he came, he had heard the story from several places.
‘They said he was a key person who would be responsible for the magic school in the future.’
