Chapter 159

Realizing that the other student was having a strange misunderstanding, Ogonin hurriedly exclaimed.

“…I am not a professor!”

“?!”

It was only after receiving the suspicious look from Lee Han that Ogonin belatedly realized what he was talking about.

If he was a professional thief, he would be careful with his words, but Ogonin is an amateur thief.

As a wizard, he had a high reputation in the empire, but as a thief, he was the first.

That experience made this mistake.

“No… that’s…!”

“How dare you cheat!”

“I didn’t cheat…?! Keugh!”

Ogonin had no more persuasion and excuses.

The opponent’s attack began.

‘What… What… what the hell?!’

When the student summoned dozens of water orbs, Ogonin was frightened, but he didn’t think he could stop them.

Ogonin’s specialty wasn’t magic combat, but how long has his career as a wizard been?

I’ve dealt with elemental magic of that level.

There are a lot of them, so it feels intimidating, but you just have to block the front anyway.

If you block it well once, you should be able to subdue your opponent with illusion magic again after that…

…should it be?!

Hey profit!

Ogonin was once again taken aback when the water orbs all flew in random, erratic trajectories and at unexpected speeds.

‘What the hell! What the hell!’

Ogonin threw himself to the side.

I never thought I’d be so childishly avoiding attacks at this age.

“Earth, help me!”

The dirt suddenly slipped away, pushing Ogonin away and trying to swallow up the water orbs at the same time.

Lee Han did not try to get out of control.

Swallow to swallow.

Because…

you can call more!

“Spring up!”

“!!!”

Even after being summoned just now, Ogonin felt like he was in a nightmare when he saw the student preparing for the next attack without a moment’s rest.

A fantasy wizard falling into a nightmare?

‘Go… Is this a trap prepared by Gonadaltes!?’

It was to the extent that I thought of something like this.

“Element, go back to normal!”

Towards the flying water orbs, Ogonin countered with an elemental release. Water beads scattered in the air.

However, the opponent did not care this time and called again.

Ogonin realized.

‘If we go to Earth War, we won’t be able to win!’

Pride as an Imperial mage, and at this point, Ogonin became rather cold-hearted.

You have to be humiliated once to be dazed.

‘I don’t know what the hell a student is doing…!’

You have to somehow subdue it and run away!

“Fire, change into my form!”

Ogonin gave up forcing himself to try the illusion magic that didn’t work because of his pride.

Illusion magic was diverse besides the spell cast directly on the opponent. If it doesn’t work, you can use something else.

The flames rose and turned into the same shape as Ogonin. It was a perfect alter ego that was impossible to distinguish.

Lee Han looked at Ogonin with a look of astonishment. Ogonin felt a tiny bit of his wounded pride recover.

“…Student, listen! I apologize for speaking rudely out of embarrassment. But I also have circumstances…”

Chi Chi Chi Chik-

“?”

Hearing the sound of burning wicks behind him, Ogonin turned his head.

The wick that the flame clone lit was all burnt out and set off a firecracker.

Puff pup pup pup pup!!!!!

Both Yihan and Ogonin were speechless and just watched as the pile of fireworks went off.

* * *

Next problem! My all-time favorite…

Boom!

“?”

“what?”

The students, yawning at the boring problem, turned their heads away.

Beautiful fireworks lit up the sky from behind.

Boom!

“It’s a firecracker!”

“Is it time to start this already?”

The guests were also excited and rose from their seats.

One of the most beautiful things magic can do is firecrackers.

It was rare to see the firecrackers prepared by Einrogard up close like this.

No… no… no!?

When the headmaster of the skeleton took off his pretense and pretended to be surprised, the guests of the Empire burst into laughter hahahoho.

“You really like surprises!” S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Wouldn’t the disciples be really happy to study under such a pleasant teacher!”

No… what the hell… which… eternally damned bastard…?

“What did you just say?”

quietly!

The skeleton headmaster revealed his true colors and made the imperial guests shut up. The guest who was cursed with forced silence mumbled in frustration.

What… What…!

Blue eyes blazed, leaving a trail behind the headmaster skeleton as he flew away.

The tears dried long ago, but the Headmaster Skeleton wept with his soul.

Some evil person has ruined the plan to give the students a fun firecracker dodging experience!

* * *

“…It’s over…”

Ogonin fell face down in despair.

I don’t think this was a pile of firecrackers.

Besides, since it exploded like this, I couldn’t escape anymore. People will come soon.

‘Can I lose?’

Lee Han looked at Ogonin who was prostrate and worried.

It was correct to stun them in order to reliably suppress them.

Apparently, he seemed to be a thief, not a professor…

But, for a thief, he seemed oddly someone with a status.

It would be quite difficult from Lee Han’s point of view if he was casually trying to get to know one of the professors.

“Could you please tell me the circumstances?”

“what?”

“I was wondering if you could tell me the circumstances.”

“You… wait. First of all, are you a student?”

Desperate Ogonin suddenly became curious and asked. Lee Han nodded.

“You are a student.”

“Fifth grade?”

“no.”

“Grade 4?”

“no.”

“Sixth grade??”

“I’m in first grade.”

“……”

Ogonin looked around.

“Why is that?”

“I was looking for a rope to hang myself on…”

“Don’t do that.”

Lee Han tried to calm him down, but Ogonin fell down in frustration.

Oh my gosh, a freshman couldn’t control it with fantasy magic, so he set fire to a pile of firecrackers!

I felt like I had been denied all my years as a wizard.

“Is that so. hmm. So…”

Lee Han attempted to appease the despairing wizard and listen to his circumstances.

It was a man named Ogonin who specialized in fantasy magic research, but Gonadaltes bid for an ancient artifact related to fantasy magic that was auctioned once before and took it away. You can buy it with your own money’, and the answer came back…

In the end, he infiltrated to get the artifact himself.

‘It’s a tearful story.’

It was a more tearful story because it was not someone else’s story.

In fact, aren’t the seniors robbing the skeleton headmaster’s warehouse to get materials?

If I went further up there, I might have to go rob another magic school’s warehouse.

“What happened… No, Mr. Ogonin!”

Kirmin Ku, the same illusion wizard and professor at the Magic School, arrived first and was surprised.

Why is Ogonin here?

“If you want to come, call me. Why…”

Professor Kirmin saw the fireworks exploding from behind, saw Ogonin lying face down, and looked at the fireworks again.

And the situation is over.

“Did Ogonin set off the firecrackers?”

“yes.”

“…Wardanaz. Can I ask you one favor?”

“Can I pretend I don’t know anything in front of the principal?”

“You really…”

Professor Kirmin was speechless. Because it was so amazing.

“okay. Please. Of course, I’m not asking you to do it. In any case, it’s true that Ogonin tried to tamper with the headmaster’s treasure…”

“No. it’s okay.”

“!”

“Aren’t you a friend of the professor?”

“…thanks. Wodanaz. I will definitely repay this favor.”

Professor Kirmin was truly moved.

Unlike Bagreg, Bagreg’s apprentice was a truly compassionate and warm mage.

How could a disciple like this…!

Puff puff puff!

With the sound of firecrackers exploding, the skeleton principal arrived at his seat.

Headmaster Skeleton looked at Lee Han, then Professor Kirmin, then Ogonin, and finished his assessment of the situation in the same way.

How dare you set fire to someone else’s festival for refusing to cooperate with research!?

“Ah… no…”

“Gonadaltes-sama. I don’t know how it happened. When the three of us arrived, the fireworks were already burning.”

……

The skeleton headmaster was shocked by the unexpected betrayal.

Come to think of it, Professor Kirmin Ku is an illusion wizard close to Ogonin.

There was nothing strange about taking Ogonin’s side.

‘These fantasy wizards…!’

What a ridiculous excuse…! Then the fireworks burned themselves!?

“Gonadaltes.”

Professor Kirmin said forcefully.

“If Ogonin-nim deliberately started the fire, there would be no reason for him to stay here, right?”

……

Skeleton Principal was caught off guard for the first time in a long time. The headmaster, speechless, only rolled his eyes.

That was a very reasonable statement.

Why the hell did Ogonin stay behind after lighting the fireworks?

“principal! The firecrackers are so beautiful!”

“To see something like this…!”

pop! Puff! Puffup!

Fortunately, excited guests came before the skeleton headmaster came up with the correct answer.

Taking advantage of that gap, Professor Kirmin spoke urgently.

“Ogonin. Get out quickly.”

“Go… Thank you. And…”

“This student is Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”

At Professor Kirmin’s words, Ogonin nodded with a tearful face.

“Thank you very much. I will never forget your name either. I swear on the name of magic that I will definitely repay this favor.”

“Go quickly!”

Ogonin hurriedly left. If you get caught by Headmaster Skeleton, you won’t see anything good.

In the meantime, the skeleton principal who was serving the guests realized the truth belatedly.

You’ve been discovered by Wardanaj! this bastard! Even if you cast fantasy magic directly on Wardanaj, it won’t work!

“What are you talking about…”

Where did Ogonin go! Did you run away already?!

Headmaster Skeleton gnashed his teeth.

Come to think of it, it was clear that Lee Han had caught his ankle.

The difference between a freshman and a prestigious imperial mage was so great that I couldn’t think of it at first… but if you

compare the two, it’s possible!

Otherwise, there would be no reason to set off the firecrackers and stay there.

We’ll see… Ogonin! The grudge of this festival must be repaid!

“Let’s run away quickly.”

Professor Kirmin took Lee Han and left quickly.

It wouldn’t do any good to stay there for a long time.

* * *

Friday after the festival.

All the guests from outside had left and the place that had been so noisy was empty, but the students were still talking about the festival.

“Did you see the fireworks yesterday? It was really pretty.”

“It was made with enchantment magic, right? Are you going to learn next week?”

However, Lee Han was slightly nervous.

It was because he had to meet with the Headmaster Skeleton soon.

There were quite a few students who had been allowed to go out this week, so everyone was supposed to gather in one place to face the skeleton headmaster.

Lee Han has two outing tickets.

One was before, and the other was a new outing pass from Professor Voladi this week.

‘Couldn’t he hold a grudge against me for yesterday?’

Lee Han just kept his mouth shut, but…

the headmaster’s personality made him squirm.

Are you all here?

“yes!”

Did you enjoy the festival?

“yes!”

However, the skeleton headmaster who appeared did not burn with anger or flash madness.

He looked sullen and calm.

‘Thank you… no. Let’s not be relieved.’

Headmaster Skeleton, who was greeting the students, stared intently when he arrived in front of Lee Han.

“What are you doing?”

Are you close with Ogonin?

“yes? No, but.”

I see

Lee Han managed his facial expressions to perfection. There was no gap.

…until you hear the next words from Headmaster Skeleton.

Then next time I go out, you can go with me.

“……”

Lee Han didn’t ask where Headmaster Skeleton was going to ‘go out’.

He knew where he was going without even asking.
