Chapter 532

The friends sternly shouted.

Lee Han was slightly taken aback by his friends’ fierce reactions.

“why?”

“Because… if you can’t, then you can’t!”

Nilia waved her hand to express her feelings for Yeji.

Guyana also agreed.

“Lee Han. They say that there are many wizards who have ruined their lives by making a mistake in their predictions. You can’t rely on such a potion.”

“Didn’t you ask for the potion of foresight before the test when it was finished?”

Kainando pretended not to hear and turned his head away.

Lee Han decided to ask the alchemy experts.

Priests Yoner and Cyana could have had different ideas from those non-experts.

“no.”

“It’s not possible.”

“……”

Lee Han was a bit sullen.

‘I made it at best.’

“Wardanaz. I have a slightly different opinion.”

“that’s right. It can be dangerous if you drink it frequently, but wouldn’t it be pretty good if you used it properly when you need it occasionally?”

“Thanks… no.”

When the friends at the Blue Dragon Tower looked at each other with slightly mad eyes, Lee Han hesitated.

‘These children’s eyes are scary.’

“Why? Wodanaz? Shall I bring it now?”

“Oh no. It is not yet complete.”

* * *

Professor Alpen Knighton, who teaches < Basic Imperial Geometry and Advanced Arithmetic >, wrinkled his forehead slightly.

Originally, it was natural for students to be distracted as the weekend approached, but today they were especially distracted.

“Everyone be quiet.”

“So when I go outside…”

“No. It’s a bad idea to start a fire.”

“But when are you going to start a fire?”

Professor Noh opened his mouth in disappointment at the rebellion of the students who always listened well.

“It seems that everyone is not concentrating today, so instead of lectures, a simple additional test…”

“Sorry, Professor!”

“Don’t keep your mouth shut, you guys!”

Students who were not confident in their exams quickly overpowered their chattering friends.

Gainando, who was secretly playing a card game, was hit in the face by a magic missile and fell to the ground.

When the lecture hall became quiet, Professor Alpen nodded and resumed the lecture.

“Remember that precise calculations are essential in the process of preparing for magic, and that if you don’t learn this, you can get into trouble later. You guys will be leading and studying magic in earnest when you enter your second year…” The

old professor always said, but magic wasn’t just memorizing spells and wielding wands.

Preparing reagents, creating magic circles, and calculating the flow of magical power.

A mage who could not do such basic work could not succeed.

“The blueprint to be studied today is the gate of the famous Ganithalas Castle. It is also called < The Miracle of the Three Wizards >. Everyone knows it because it’s such a famous gate, but…”

Gainando asked while tilting his head.

“Why the miracle of the three wizards?”

The old professor did not get angry at the disciple’s pathetic question and explained it in a dignified way.

“The treasury of the lord of Ganithalas was completely empty due to the rebellion and raids that broke out in succession at that time. So even when we built a new gate, we paid less than 1/10 of our usual budget in gold.”

bang!

Lee Han hit the desk with his fist, enraged.

“How could that happen!”

“……”

“That… is that something to be angry about?”

Gainando was taken aback by his friend’s unwillingness to show it.

However, Professor Alpen nodded as if sympathizing with Lee Han’s fury.

“no. It’s okay to be angry What a sad history. It would have ended much faster if the others around them had helped the castle lord… Anyway, the three wizards of the castle completed the castle gate despite such adverse conditions. That was something close to a miracle. ruler. The blueprint we will study today is the blueprint of such a gate.”

The students accepted the blueprint with interest in Professor Alpen’s history story.

Of course, Lee Han was trembling.

‘Isn’t this like a fairy tale?’

The lord of the castle cut the budget by 1/10, but the wizards somehow completed it with blood, sweat, and wisdom, so you guys should watch and learn from it too.

At first glance, it sounded like a good story, but Lee Han was well aware of the evil hidden in the structure of such a good story.

Originally, the outstanding people in front are always harassing the ordinary people in the back without malice.

If the three wizards completed the castle gate with 1/10 of the budget, ‘Ah, let’s analyze and reflect on the problems of the situation at the time when they only gave 1/10 of the budget’, or ‘Let’s learn that wisdom’.

Lee Han continued to grumble inwardly as he moved his quill.

“Mr. Wardanaz.”

“!”

Hearing the old professor’s call, Lee Han instantly thought that his true feelings had been revealed.

“yes?”

“Mr. Wardanaz doesn’t need to see that.”

“Oh no… why? I admire the miracles of the three wizards of Ganithalas. I want to become a wizard like that.”

Lee Han, who had been stabbed, quickly covered his lips without saliva.

Professor Alpen was pleased with that appearance.

Unlike other mages who don’t care about budgets and waste reagents extravagantly, this boy from the Wodanaz family had a global perspective.

“A thrilling thought…but that’s okay.”

“Why?”

“That’s because Wodanaz-kun is already taking the test during the midterm exam.”

“……”

“……”

Not only Lee Han, but also Yoner, who was calculating while drawing blueprints, lost his quill because he was dumbfounded.

what did i hear now?

“That… I see.”

Unlike the other friends who were shocked, Lee Han was definitely professional. He nodded his head without changing his expression and showed a posture of listening.

Still, when I think of taking another test alone during the midterm, the professor seemed like a crazy person, but I can’t say ‘you’re a crazy person’.

‘It’s a professor’s privilege.’

“Follow me.”

“yes.”

While his friends were studying the blueprints, Lee Han left the classroom following Professor Alpen.

The cold winter sky glistened outside the windows of Einrogard’s main building.

‘Can I throw it at the professor when it snows?’

Kiki-

Professor Alpen opened the door and entered the room, beckoning Lee Han to sit down.

Lee Han, who was contemplating how to throw the snowball, quickly came to his senses and sat down in his chair.

This room was different from the old professor’s usual room. Instead of comfortable furniture or clutter that feels like living, there was only one large communication artifact.

Lee Han was not surprised because he had already seen the mirror-like artifact in the headmaster’s room.

When learning magic from Ogonin, he had a conversation with an artifact like that.

Support position-

-Mr. Knighton.

The people who appeared from the other side of the mirror greeted Professor Alpen. The old professor shook his head and replied.

“I am no longer an administrator. Call me Professor.”

-ah. sorry.

‘What are they doing?’

Lee Han looked intrigued at the people in the mirror.

I couldn’t figure out why Professor Alpen had connected these people with Lee Han.

“I heard it before, but I’ll check it one last time. You guys got the contract to build the pocket knife fortress right?”

-yes. you’re right. Maybe this person…

“Okay. That’s right.”

At Professor Alpen’s answer, the people behind the mirror looked at Lee Han with a mixture of anticipation and curiosity.

Only then did Lee Han realize who the opponent was.

‘They’re builders, right?’

Those related to architecture, such as the stonemason’s guild and the carpenter’s guild, wore their equipment one by one and stood over the mirror.

-It would be an honor for Einrogard students to help us! What grade are you in? 3rd year? Grade 4?

The people behind the mirror said in delightful voices.

In the empire, wizards were always a high-class workforce, and among them, even fewer were able to calculate and complete the magic to enter a building.

A mage who learned magic by self-taught while wandering around the battlefield, or mastered magic with her own senses in the mountains, would not be able to work together like this.

As such, the students from Einrogard could be seen as the highest quality manpower available for this kind of work.

Anybody would want to bring them, except that the students are very busy.

The old professor responded calmly.

“It’s a first year.”

-……

-…???

People were perplexed.

Lee Han was also perplexed.

“uh. professor. Isn’t it a bit early for me?”

“You are very humble.”

‘Why don’t all the professors of Einrogard understand the concept of rejection?’

Lee Han was bitter at the professor’s reaction.

I couldn’t understand why Lee Han always liked it because he said he was humble when he refused.

Can you really say no?

“But Mr. Wodanaz has enough skills to take on the challenge.”

“Why did you make that judgment?”

“Didn’t I look at the answer sheet myself during the midterm exam?”

“……”

Lee Han was speechless.

When the other person said that, I had nothing to say.

-Each of the administrators… No Professor. Are you really okay?

“I guarantee it on my name. Everyone believe in me.”

“No…”

Lee Han felt very pressured when the old professor put his name on the line without even asking.

Then, what if Lee Han made a mistake?

– Mmm. Sir, no, if the professor says so…

-By the way, can a freshman, even an Einrogard student, participate in this kind of construction? As far as I know, it’s usually assumed that you’re in the 3rd grade…

-I knew that too. But aren’t there a lot of ridiculous rumors about Einrogard? We must be mistaken.

-Well, the other day, there was a rumor that the students of Einrogard had to fight to get their meals on their own, right? It looks like I was mistaken. There are so few things to see, so rumors like that must have spread.

“……”

Lee Han listened to people’s conversations with a gloomy expression.

Knowing the truth but not being able to tell it was sadder than I thought.

“professor. Exactly what role am I going to play in the construction of this fort?”

“hmm. He will probably be in charge of the calculations for magic.”

Buildings over a certain size could not normally contain artifacts.

Then, it was the magician’s job to calculate the amount of magic power of these artifacts, to secure the amount of magic power that could be supplied, and to place the artifacts in the right places so that they would not malfunction.

In a word, it was a grueling job that required constant calculation.

‘Just listening to it makes me dizzy.’

“…Can I do everything within the time limit?”

“Hmm… I guess it’s possible until the final exam.”

As Lee Han listened to the professor, he felt a sense of incongruity.

“Until the final exam? Shouldn’t it be finished before final exams?”

“Mr. Wardanaz. What a joke… Heh heh. Of course, since I am entrusted with this kind of work, I am doing it in place of the final exam.”

Professor Noh laughed at Lee Han’s words.

No matter how confident you are, you want to finish a job of this scale before the final exam and then take the final exam again.

It was truly genius-like confidence. Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Of course, as a professor, Professor Alpen had the idea of not overdoing his students responsibly.

“thank you. professor.”

Lee Han was slightly relieved that he did not have to worry about the final exam.

And I felt weird.

‘shit. It’s not something I like.’

Come to think of it, the reason why it was possible to do it this way was because Lee Han already took the exam during the midterm exam beyond the scope of the final exam.

There was no need to thank Professor Alpen at all.

-professor. Where should I send my gold coins?

“It would be appreciated if you send it to the next eagle.”

“What gold coin is it?”

To Lee Han’s question, Professor Alpen answered as if it were natural.

“Since I took on an outside request, I have to get paid. It will help Mr. Wardanaz when he studies magic next year.”

“…Could you give me some paperwork? I’ll do my best.”
