Chapter 293

‘What is it? Is it a trap?’

Lee Han hesitated when another elder in the family came out instead of Asan.

Could it be that Asan is doing this because he doesn’t want to pay back the silver he borrowed?

‘no. Asan is not that evil.’

But I couldn’t be careless.

Even if it wasn’t Asan, the other members of the family could have made a cowardly move.

Not all aristocrats were fair and upright.

If there are people who sincerely worship honor, there are also those who, like Lee Han, regard honor as a modest level of respectability.

There were quite a few ways to keep the honor of the nobility and not pay back.

For example, criticizing Lee Han’s attitude, he said, ‘How could someone who came as a guest commit such rudeness? Please go back!’, and Lee Han was pushed out before he even said to hand over the borrowed money.

That made things quite cumbersome.

Since Lee Han is also from the Wodanaz family, he cannot protest in front of the mansion, saying, ‘The Dalcard family, pay back the borrowed silver coins!’

The aristocratic way now is to spread rumors in a way that cuts the face of the opponent and disgrace the honor in the case of a small amount like Lee Han directly and roughly in the case of a large sum

… It’s a problem that the coins don’t come back.’

unhappy endings.

Absolutely not.

The best way is to avoid getting caught by the opponent.

“hello. It is said to be Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”

Lee Han greeted them as politely as possible without any deviation from formality.

Seeing this, Daihal and Haidan’s stern faces softened slightly, then returned to normal.

It was so short that no one around him noticed, but Lee Han was different.

A brilliant genius who can even understand the feelings of the eccentric professors of Einrogard that even the headmaster of Skeleton acknowledged!

‘I guess the first impression passed.’

The other person seemed satisfied, but Lee Han did not let go of his guard.

They still haven’t figured out the opponent’s intentions.

“To meet the Wardanaz family wizard like this. It is an honour. I am Daihal of the Dalcard family.”

“I am Highdan of the Dalcard family.”

Lee Han shook hands with the two twins. Their hands were dry and cold.

“Since you are from the Wardanaz family, you must be making a mark in Einrogard as well.”

“no. Family lineage doesn’t necessarily guarantee ability, and there are so many outstanding students in Einrogard.”

The faces of the two twins stiffened slightly again.

To say such weak words while coming from a prestigious family in the Empire called the Wardanaz family.

I wondered if I was lacking in ability.

“Is that so? Excuse me, but I’m wondering who is the better student than the Wardanaj family mage. What kind of students are you?”

“uh.”

Lee Han was speechless.

It was only natural as he was the head of the school year.

The evils of excessive humility!

‘shit. Did I make a mistake?’

“?”

When Lee Han didn’t answer, a slight wrinkle appeared between the twins’ foreheads.

Then Asan whispered softly next to him.

“older brother. sister. Wardanaz is the head of the year.”

“Is it really?”

“You’ve made some great friends.”

Daihal and Haidan’s expressions were relaxed enough to say ‘soft’ for the first time today.

Asan, seeing these strict two people for the first time, couldn’t help but be surprised.

“…Wouldn’t it be nice to have Wardanaz as the chief? You don’t usually do that…”

“What are you talking about? I’m glad you made a good friend.”

“There is nothing to be happy about when you make mistakes every time. You should have done it normally.”

Lee Han, who was listening from the side, thought to himself.

‘hmm. They’re pretty crazy people.’

It could have been a bit rude, but seeing him peck at his brother like that didn’t make him look sane.

Looking at the appearance, I guessed why the two came out. He came to find out what kind of person his brother’s friend was.

‘I’m so glad I came before Gainando.’

Lee Han thought the same as Asan.

“Here is this man…”

Daihal asked, looking at Ratford.

When Ratford, overwhelmed by the atmosphere, hesitated to open his mouth, Lee Han struck first.

“This is Ratford. He is the best student in the tower.”

“!”

Daihal and Haidan’s expressions softened once again.

“You’ve made great friends.”

“Learn a lot and work hard.”

“The first drawing room should be empty right now, so let’s use it. Call me whenever you need anything.”

The twins bowed politely to Lee Han and Ratford once more and withdrew contentedly.

Ratford asked, puzzled.

“I’m not the top chief, am I?”

“It meant the best thief. let’s go.”

“……”

Ratford and Asan looked at Lee Han as if they were dumbfounded, but Lee Han didn’t care.

* * *

“…so that’s why.”

“Oops.”

After hearing Asan’s detailed explanation, Lee Han felt sorry for him.

‘for a moment. I’m not in the mood to ask when I get my money.’

No matter how much Lee Han wanted to get the money and go to the next mansion, it wasn’t enough to bring up the matter in front of a friend who said, ‘My life is suffering because of my handsome brother and sister.’

“sorry. Wodanaz. Actually, I’m not the only one who has this kind of trouble. Wardanaz, aren’t you similar?”

Not everyone was happy and comfortable even though they were from a great aristocratic family.

Since the honor and responsibility as heavy as the history of the family rested on their shoulders from birth, the descendants of the family had no choice but to compete fiercely with each other.

Of course, it sounded quite full to Lee Han.

It’s better to compete fiercely within a family, but what about guys who don’t compete fiercely without a family…

And above all, Lee Han’s situation was different from Asan’s.

“no. Our families don’t have much interest in each other.”

“okay? Well, the Wodanaz family is a bit peculiar.”

Few of the great aristocratic families were as indifferent to the politics and cults of the Empire as the Wodanaj.

A single-minded family that focuses only on magic.

“By the way, Asan. Borrowed…”

“Ah! What should I do? Wodanaz? I don’t want to disappoint my brother and sister! Help me. Wodanaz. I’m sure you can give me 100% sure advice.”

“……”

Lee Han was taken aback, but calmly turned around.

“You said there was a meeting at the mansion salon today. You can show your abilities there.”

Even Lee Han did not know what the level of other magic school students was.

But one thing was certain.

That I would never be better than the students of Einrogard.

‘No matter how much I think about it, that’s impossible.’

Asan’s magic skills were enough to impress the guests who came to the gathering.

Then Asan’s older brother and older sister will be satisfied with their younger brother’s skills…

…and Lee Han will be able to take the borrowed money and leave.

“indeed. at a meeting. good idea.”

“In fact, the only thing better than that is to just pretend to be someone who doesn’t exist.”

“Thanks for the joke. Wodanaz. It gave me confidence.”

‘I wasn’t kidding.’

* * *

Just because the city’s celebrities were gathering at the salon didn’t mean they were doing anything out of the ordinary.

In fact, except for the refreshments and drinks, it was not much different from the resting room in the tower.

Musicians played chamber music (in the common room of the Tower the students sang because they were hungry), and well-dressed nobles sat down to play chess or play cards (as well as in the common room of the Tower), and kept up with the latest interesting happenings in the city. Talking about…

“This is a newly acquired jewel wand. It was a lot of work for three other people besides me, but it was worth it.”

“I am worried that Ahmad’s market price has gone up a bit these days. I left the request to the workshop, but if you pay a higher price…”

‘You’re familiar with it.’

They were just like the TOP students, even boasting about what they had acquired and talking about their latest worries.

“oh. Are you Ein Lorgard’s students by any chance?”

When Lee Han and Asan Ratford appeared, some of the guests cast their eyes.

It was vacation time, and I couldn’t help but be curious as I heard that the blood of the Dalcard family had enrolled in Einrogard.

“you’re right.”

“This is an honor! I call it baked. It’s modest, but it’s a silk and cloth business.”

The elf’s words were close to humility. A small cloth merchant could never dress up like Gu Guan.

Patterned silk and jewelry worn on the wrist.

You could guess how rich he was.

‘You’re rich.’

And Lee Han liked rich people.

“I am Lee Han from the Wardanaz family. i look forward to.”

Lee Han threw a fake smile and held out his hand to win favor like before.

And Lee Han could see it.

The fear that flashes like sparks in your opponent’s eyes.

“Whoa… The Wardanaz family…! I wish you well…”

“……”

Lee Han lamented inwardly.

I just wanted to get to know you, but with just the name of the Wardanaz family, this is the result!

Still, Lee Han said without giving up.

“It’s still weak, but if you need help with magic…”

Actually, this was a meaningless suggestion.

Of course, even as a first-year student at Einrogard, his skills were much stronger than the wandering wizards you could easily meet outside.

Wizards were an extremely rare occupation, and thanks to that, there were quite a few people who boasted that they were wizards just by summoning a spark.

However, if you are a person who can participate in this meeting, you have the ability to call a proper wizard, not such a wanderer.

In other words, Lee Han’s suggestion was not to ask if he really needed magic help, but to use that as an excuse to be friendly with each other.

“Yes… I will. Thank you for caring me.”

‘shit. It’s open.’

Of course, the reaction of the opponent was not very good. Lee Han was bitter.

“A student of Ein Rogard?”

Lee Han and his friends turned their heads.

At a glance, he could tell that the opponent was a wizard. The flow of magic power around the opponent was different from other places.

“you’re right.”

“I heard that you are a freshman, can I check your skills?”

If he had been in a different position, Lee Han would have stepped on it, saying, ‘Who are you to arrogantly try to test me, but have you ever given me a gold coin? Are you a professor?’

He was trying to reveal his magic skills in front of the people who had already attended the gathering.

‘Thank you.’

Originally, I just couldn’t do anything like this.

If Lee Han did something like, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, look this way, I’ll show you something from Einrogard’, it would cut face and honor.

The correct answer is to pretend that you can’t win if the other person first says, ‘I’ve heard your name, I want to see your skills’ and then do ‘Once again’!

“I’m still weak, but I’ll do my best.”

“What is going on?”

“The students of Einrogard are showing off magic.”

“You have had great luck today. You would see something like this.”

The customers around them also stopped talking or playing and started paying attention.

A perfectly prepared situation.

‘By the way, who is the opponent?’

“I would like to formally greet you. I am a master of the Valor family. I was taught magical progress in Valdrogard.” seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“ah.”

“hmm.”

One of the guests next to me spat out an exclamation.

“Valdrogard! Isn’t it one of the best magic schools in the Empire!”

‘Is this why I feel aegyo?’

For a moment, Lee Han almost reacted in a fit of anger without even realizing it.

What kind of magic school is a magic school where you can go out at will?
