Episode 661

Lee Han protested, but Professor Voladi ignored him.

He thought that the disciple was merely expressing his will of humility.

“Lee Han. You were practicing time magic by the way.”

“hey. Be quite.”

“Oh no… I just said it…”

I just said it because I wanted to forget it, but when I received a lively stare, Gainando became very unfair.

‘What did I do wrong!’

Professor Voladi moved to serve a meal to the students.

After walking a few blocks, I saw a large two-story red brick building. On the signboard, it was nicely scribbled, ‘Restaurant < Three Magpies > run by the Dwarf Brothers’.

Excited, Gainando explained the shop to his friends.

“It’s fine here. They sell the second best chicken pie and the third best porterhouse steak in Flaher!”

“Cainan Island. Thank you for the explanation, but the shop owner is staring at you from the side.”

Lee Han thought that the steak from Gainando might contain dwarf saliva.

“By the way, Professor. Do you come here often? It doesn’t seem like a place the professor would come to often…”

“Lee Han. No matter how it is, the professor is not so poor as to be unable to pay for the food here.”

Gainando whispered with a frightened expression.

No matter how much I thought about it, my friend was talking too crazy.

“…We were talking about the food menu. Ratford. Would you like to change seats with Gainando?”

“no! no!”

Kainando resisted, but was caught by his friends and forcibly exchanged seats.

“I don’t like being next to Yoner!”

“I don’t like being next to you either, so would you like to go down there?”

Ignoring the chattering friends, Lee Han looked around.

Looking at the food enjoyed by the customers sitting in the other seats, it was a restaurant specializing in meat dishes. It was not a place that Professor Boladi, who enjoys vegetarianism, would come.

“It comes when serving meals to mercenaries or adventurers. The ratings were good.”

“!”

Han Lee shuddered to realize that Professor Voladi regularly hired mercenaries and adventurers.

What the fuck are you trying to do?

“Could it be that this year… you’re preparing for the lecture?”

Professor Voladi showed a culture that did not lose his composure even in the face of stupid questions from his students.

“no. Preparation for this year’s lecture was completed last year.”

“……”

Lee Han’s spine felt chilly.

It was the creepiest answer this winter.

“ruler. Eandurde. We have to wait until the bread basket arrives. You don’t have to cut the meat yourself. You can’t eat it with a knife. got it?”

“Can you change seats?”

“no. And Lee Han is suffering enough because of the professor right now, so don’t bother him too.”

Yoner admonished his juniors. Professor Voladi looked at it and said.

“Eat comfortably, it doesn’t matter. Like I said, mercenaries and adventurers come too.”

When Eandurde threw the tableware at those words and tried to grab the knife, Yoner glared sternly.

“no.”

“But…”

“No. catch it again.”

“Whimp…”

Eandurde thought to herself.

All of Lee Han’s friends here are strict, but the professor over there seemed a bit broad-minded.

If you enter Einrogard, you will have to learn this and that…

Maybe it wouldn’t be bad to listen to that professor’s wide lecture.

Besides, wouldn’t Eandurde have something to punish that professor for?

‘Steal the secret and get revenge!’

As Eandurde pounded his fist on the table, thinking of the day when he would pin the professor to the floor, Yoner sternly admonished again.

“You can’t hit the table like an instrument.”

“…I want to change seats…”

Lee Han took a bite after spreading butter on freshly baked bread to alleviate his fear.

Anything in the empty stomach felt like the dread of this year’s dreadful class had lessened a little.

“Then what did you hire for?”

“hmm.”

Instead of answering, Professor Voladi looked at Lee Han with a slightly troubled look.

Seeing those eyes, Lee Han suddenly became anxious.

‘Why do I feel like I made a mistake?’

“It would be fine if you could tell me.”

“Wait. It’s okay if it’s a dangerous secret.”

If Professor Voladi had hired people to assassinate someone, Lee Han didn’t want to hear about it.

Later, when the imperial investigator came and said, ‘What do you know!’, ‘I don’t know anything. I’m just a disciple!’

“It is not like that. I was just worried that you would pay too much attention.”

“?”

It’s something that Lee Han could be too interested in.

‘Did you raid the Imperial Gold Coin Foundry?’

“Let me explain one by one. There are times when you hire someone for a request first.”

“ah.”

It was only then that Lee Han realized that Professor Voladi was both a wizard and a professor.

Well, it wasn’t strange for a wizard to call an adventurer or a mercenary and entrust them with a request.

From exploring ruins to gathering materials, there were many things the wizard entrusted with.

The wizard who did this himself was strange.

“Do you have any ingredients you are looking for?”

Professor Voladi shook his head slowly.

“I don’t take commissions.”

“……”

Surprisingly, Professor Boladi was not the one who entrusted the request, but the one who solved the request.

Adventurers and mercenaries are now hiring Professor Voladi to solve dangerous quests alone…

‘Are you hunting some kind of dragon??’

Lee Han couldn’t even imagine what kind of request it was if Professor Voladi felt it was dangerous.

Shouldn’t that amount of request be banned by imperial law?

“for a moment. So if you were worried that I might be too interested in you, do you mean that you were worried that I would be interested in a request like this?”

“To some extent, yes.”

“That is too much of a concern. Unlike the professor, I have no interest in risky commissions.”

“……”

“……”

The friends all stopped their chattering conversation and stared at Lee Han.

I wanted to take the side of my friend for a while, but this was really too much bullshit.

“King of Ghouls…”

“Sea Serpent…” “

Frost Giant…”

“Wordanaz-sama, honestly, seems addicted to danger. You are still sitting next to the professor.”

Despite harsh criticism from his friends, Lee Han was sincere and confident.

Unlike Professor Voladi, who would attack even when the danger was wide open, I had always calmly and calmly analyzed the risk of the request.

“Good luck, then. I was worried about your impatience.”

“I have felt it since the last time, but it seems that the professor misunderstands me a little. haha.”

As he had ignored before, Professor Voladi ignored him again.

Originally, people were unable to see their own shortcomings objectively.

Although Lee Han was an outstanding student, he had the disadvantage of being impatient because of his natural talent, and this was an area that professors had to pay attention to.

“By the way, are there any other reasons to hire other than the colleagues needed for the commission?”

The professor nodded.

“The city of Flaher recently had a dueling club.” Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“If it’s a dueling club…”

When it comes to dueling, it’s easy to picture the image of one of the two fighting each other until they die, but most of these types of dueling are banned in the Empire. A duel like this could only be found in an underground arena.

Dueling, sanctioned by the Empire, was usually moderate, with each swearing to act honorably, allowing observers and spectators, and winning or losing if anyone was wounded and a drop of blood was spilled.

Of course, duels like this usually happened when someone insulted someone else’s honor… …

but, as always, there was an exception.

Those who are addicted to the bloody coming and going of swords and magic, the thrill and danger of the ecstatic glory of victory.

And people who want to see these bloody fights in person.

Finally, even those who want to make money using these people.

The place where these people usually gathered was the dueling club of the empire.

A place that educated people ridicule (not very wrongly) as a legitimate social arena!

“Are you going there?”

Lee Han finally wondered if Professor Voladi was crazy about blood.

Did attacking a student make you impatient and want to attack the other pitiful victims of the Empire?

“okay.”

“Is there any reason for that? Are you trying to sharpen your magic battle?”

“no. Most dueling clubs aren’t even up to that level. Because of the reward.”

Professor Voladi explained meticulously.

When entering a dueling club and dueling between mutual agreements, bets could be made outside as well as bets between the parties.

A simple rule where the winner pays the loser.

When Professor Voladi needed funds, he gathered mercenaries or adventurers to make dangerous requests or visit the dueling clubs of the empire.

And the latter was much easier to get financial gain.

The kids who came out with all kinds of treasures were holding a knife and setting it up…

Unlike the request, the reason why mercenaries or adventurers were hired when entering the dueling club was because of the limited number of people.

In addition to one-on-one duels, there were many duels many to many.

No matter how many opponents there were, there was no problem in stomping on them, so allies had to match the numbers.

‘oh my god!’

Lee Han was shocked.

I was mistaken for not wanting to bargain at the toy store earlier, but Professor Voladi was not ignorant of the world.

‘You’re copying gold coins!’

Even if Lee Han was Professor Boladi, he would have toured dueling clubs.

What is the reason for bothering to ask and teach students? If you go around the dueling club, your fortune will increase in an instant.

“professor. Wipe out dueling clubs across the empire!”

“I can’t because of the ban.”

“yes?”

“If you win too much, you’ll be banned from the club.”

“……”

Han Lee recalled what Professor Voladi had said earlier.

– The city of Flaher ‘recently’ has a dueling club.

recent.

I just skipped it earlier, so…

‘This person is banned from most dueling clubs across the empire?!’

That’s why he came to the city of Flaher, where a dueling club was recently established.

To scrape it fast before word spreads and gets banned!

The magician cards sold at the toy store earlier were obviously spoils obtained from the dueling club.

Lee Han reflected.

‘I was nothing.’

I thought I was earning money diligently, but the professors were indeed the sky above the sky.

“I was amazed. professor. I also want to visit the dueling club someday.”

“It seemed so.”

He strongly denied the words that he would be interested in the dangerous quest earlier, but he couldn’t deny the dueling club.

In fact, Lee Han was contemplating how to make a fortune with the dueling club.

Later, when you reach a certain level of skill, you go to the dueling club…

‘I won’t act blatantly like a professor. If you win 3 times, you lose about 1 time… Hmm, let’s find the highest win rate and set it slightly lower than that. Wouldn’t it be bad to hire an adventurer to increase the number of defeats?’

While the organizers of the dueling club were having thoughts that were so sinister that they would immediately kick them out, Professor Boladi finished emptying his green tea and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

“I ate it all.”

“Good job, Professor!”

The students greeted Professor Boladi with a sense of gratitude.

Professor Voladi nodded as if it was nothing. Then he said to Ian.

“Follow me. I will introduce you to the club.”

“……”

Yi-han was very taken aback by the visit that was about ten years earlier than he had planned.
