Chapter 335

Yi-Han was lost in thought.

In truth, Yi-Han didn't need to learn every dance to make a name for himself at the Imperial Ball. It would be enough to learn the basics, dance once with others when they took their turns, and then return to his seat.

Outstanding dancers were said to be well-versed in the subtle differences of the round dances from each region of the Empire, but...

'Is that even possible?'

Yi-Han, who was inwardly amazed, felt a twinge of remorse.

Come to think of it, he, who was taking all the schools of magic, was in no position to say such things.

'The easiest way to learn this is probably...'

It was more comfortable to learn with a friend who was as bad at dancing as Yi-Han than to learn alone.

It was good for asking favors and practicing.

'And make preparations in advance so they can't say anything unnecessary.'

"Gainando is not here?"

"Yes. I apologize."

But surprisingly, Gainando was not at the mansion.

"How...? No. That was a rude question. After all, Gainando can go out and play on his own."

Upon hearing Yi-Han's words, the head butler thought to himself, 'He might have other friends, you know,' but didn't say it out loud.

Gainando had indeed gone out to play alone.

"It seems he went out to test the new Mage Cards he got."

"As expected of the Wardanaz family..."

"That guess has nothing to do with the family. Anyway, I understand."

"Do we have a guest?"

"!"

From inside the mansion, Gainando's mother, whom he had met before, appeared.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

The head butler bowed his head at the dazzling spirit's radiance. Gainando's mother recognized Yi-Han's face and was delighted.

"You're Yi-Han from the Wardanaz family, Gainando's fr... fri... acquain... from the same tower... right?"

"Yes. And since we're friends, please feel free to speak comfortably."

Yi-Han could sense the other person thinking, 'Are they really friends? Are they still friends? If I say they're friends and they deny it, it'll be awkward for both of us, so I should be careful.'

Gainando's mother still spoke as if she found it hard to believe.

"I see. What brings you here today?"

"There's a big social gathering hosted by the city soon, and I came to practice with Gainando."

"..."

Gainando's mother looked at him again with an amazed expression.

It was a look that seemed to ask why he was going to such lengths to take care of Gainando.

'I should pretend not to notice.'

"That's really... kind of you. If I had known in advance, I would have locked him up so he couldn't go out."

"It's fine. I can wait until he returns."

The head butler cautiously opened his mouth.

"If you need any assistance with your practice, we will gladly prepare it."

At that question, Gainando's mother frowned.

A noble with strong pride might take offense at such a suggestion.

Offering to help with etiquette between noble families could be seen as disrespectful and looking down on the other party at first glance.

"How rude. A young master from the Wardanaz family should be able to do such a thing on his own, shouldn't he?"

"I, I apologize."

"..."

Yi-Han felt embarrassed.

'I was going to ask for help.'

"He's someone who can't do such a thing on his own, so it would be better if you helped him."

"!!"

A nobleman Yi-Han had seen somewhere appeared from inside the mansion.

A cold-looking handsome man, wearing a ceremonial robe made of dark blue silk and holding a cane with the unique elegance that only a nobleman could display.

His eyes glinted with a wicked mischief.

"Skull pr...! No, Principal!"

But the incidents related to Yi-Han were truly not something the skull principal had forcibly pushed.

Most of them were things he had volunteered for!

-From now on, I will be careful not to let the freshman go through too harsh of trials.-

-Hearing that answer satisfies me... I'll trust you, Os. Even though I suspect that after saying this, in 3 days, you'll harshly pass on your mantle as you please...-

-No, Your Majesty. What era do you think this is?-

-Gathering just the disciples who ran away from you, one could establish a magic tower. Anyway... I'll trust you.-

After enduring the barbaric slander of the Emperor, who insulted an innocent Great Mage based on unfounded rumors and hearsay, and returning, the very person who was the cause of all this was saying something ominous, so he couldn't help but be afraid.

"Let me guess. Undead rising from the cemetery? It is about time for that. Idle nobles like to give them grandiose nicknames."

"Ah. How did you know? But that wasn't the King of Ghouls, it was an undead chimera. I tracked it down and caught it with Senior Direth."

"..."

The skull principal felt phantom headaches from his nonexistent body.

He had been away for just over a month, and he was afraid to even ask what had happened during that time.

"...Then did the noble brats cause an incident? They're the kind who don't know what's dangerous and buy this and that to play around with."

"Oh. You heard? But that was a Basilisk."

"...What the hell is wrong with you!"

In the end, the skull principal exploded.

"Other Blue Dragon Tower brats are wasting their family's wealth and indulging in debauchery during the break, but why are you doing this! Acting like you have multiple lives when you're not even a lich!"

"..."

"..."

Not only Yi-Han but everyone else in Gainando's mansion was dumbfounded.

"My friends are all working during the break though..."

"You must have influenced them!"

"That's not... Or is it?"

When Yi-Han agreed, the skull principal became even more spiteful.

Gainando's mother stepped forward to defend Yi-Han.

"Lord Gonadaltes. Yi-Han from the Wardanaz family is completely different from those lunatics who do dangerous things unsuited to their abilities for the sake of false reputation. There was an incident where members of the Crimson Lotus Forest subjugation team were unfortunately teleported, and they were very grateful that Yi-Han saved their lives."

"..."

Originally, he should have been happy about a student's achievements, but instead of being pleased, the skull principal sighed even more deeply.

What he feared most was the lingering unease that there were still more of Yi-Han's accomplishments left.

After sighing a few more times, the skull principal decided to accept reality.

'At least there's an alibi, fortunately.'

Even if the Emperor asked later, it was possible to make the excuse that he wasn't in Granden City at that time.

He didn't know how effective that would be, but...

"Enough... If he were someone who could be stopped, he wouldn't have had that level of capacity in the first place. Just learn to dance. Lady Kraha. This kid didn't take the social etiquette class, so it would be good if you could teach him."

"Really?"

Gainando's mother looked at the skull principal as if asking if it wasn't too much.

The skull principal immediately realized what misunderstanding she was having.

"No... Lady Kraha! I didn't prevent him from taking it!"

"Then he just didn't take it?"

"That's right!"

"I see... I understand..."

"The sacred cabinet will break...! You explain it!"

The skull principal called Yi-Han while enduring his headache.

"Yes? What should I say?"

"It was your choice not to take the dance class, wasn't it!"

"Yes. It was my choice, but."

"Do you see...!"

The skull principal, who was about to speak, faltered when he saw the shocked look Gainando's mother was giving him.

At that moment, the skull principal realized that no matter how he explained it, it was impossible to clear up the misunderstanding.

"...Just teach him to dance."
