Chapter 440

Yi-Han struggled to maintain his face from turning gloomy.

"Thank you..."

"When a tough day ends and you sit on the wooden chair in your quarters, sit quietly facing this wine bottle and tilt the glass. Then you will think of us."

The knights spoke in a gentle voice.

The White Tiger Tower students who were listening from behind already had a drunk expression at those words.

Wasn't this the aesthetics of knights?

Loving both swords and alcohol...

'Can I sell this? Will I get caught if I sell it? Should I barter it?'

Of course, it didn't really resonate with Yi-Han, who was a mage.

—

"Hmm. From here, we'll have to take a boat."

"..."

"..."

-...-

Yi-Han and the White Tiger Tower students, of course, and even Niffirg looked at the skull principal in disbelief.

They hadn't even reached the walls of Einroguard yet, but the flood was already so bad that the water was up to their waists.

"I've prepared a bone boat for you."

"Thank you very much."

"Yes. Of course you should be thankful."

"This is really too much... Mmph."

"Shh. Be quiet. Anglago."

Covering Anglago's mouth, who was about to explode from holding back, Yi-Han got on the boat.

Nothing good would come from falling for the skull principal's provocation.

Swish-

"Row! Anglago! You're the helmsman! Open the way towards the gate!"

Anglago, who had the most sailing experience as he was from a coastal area, became the helmsman.

Anglago trembled at the sudden heavy responsibility.

Whoosh!

'What kind of storm is this on land!?'

The waters that had risen on land were raging fiercely, as if the spirits had thrown a tantrum in some way.

The boat, shaking like a leaf in the wind, felt very precarious.

"Wa... Wardanaz. I, I've never steered a boat in this kind of weather...!"

"Anglago. Don't be weak. You have to do it!"

"I'll be going now."

The skull principal ran across the water with the death knights and passed through the gate.

Yi-Han ignored him and cheered for Anglago.

"Anglago. I believe in you!"

"But with waves this rough..."

Slap!

"I said believe, you bastard. Do you believe or not?"

"I, I believe!"

"..."

Bartreck, who was rowing next to them, was about to be slightly moved but stopped. And he rowed hard, watching Yi-Han's expression.

"I can't see because of the fog...!"

"I'll cast light, so focus!"

"Waves! Waves are coming! The water is...!"

"I'll scoop out the water, so focus!"

"Oh no! Even rain..."

"I'll put up an ice barrier above! Go forward!"

"There's a hole in the boat!"

"I blocked it! Steer again!"

"..."

Jijel and Bartreck quietly shut their mouths and rowed.

Every time a conversation took place, they somehow ended up rowing harder.

"Aren't you guys rowing too hard without rest? Why don't you take a break and take turns?"

"Ah, no. Wardanaz. We can row more!"

Yi-Han, who had barely caught his breath, was puzzled by the sight of his friends rowing too hard next to him.

It was good that they were rowing hard, but was it okay?

"It's the gate!"

-Why are freshmen wandering around in this weather??-

The death knight guarding the gate was flustered and let Yi-Han's group pass.

Since the forest, garden, and paths that originally guided the direction were not visible, Yi-Han headed towards the main building.

"To the left. Anglago! Turn to the left!"

The boat advanced forward, cutting through the rough currents.

In the distance, a tower stood tall even in the water. It was a building protected by magic, so it remained elevated without shaking even in the flood.

When the entrance came into view, hope returned to the faces of the exhausted White Tiger Tower students.

"More! Faster!"

"The evil lich captain shouted to the crew with magic..."

Adenart had a gullible personality, so she would surely forgive him!

"Food here. Drinks there. Fabric in the back. Don't put the reagents on the floor. It'll be a headache if they get wet. Oh."

Yi-Han moved to the inside of the lounge. And he took out a bundle of luggage he had stored in the highest cabinet.

Gainando's eyes sparkled when he saw the bundle wrapped in oiled paper and waterproofed leather.

Is it something to eat?

"Fortunately, the books are intact."

"..."

Gainando's face became as sad as the rainy season.

"It was... books...?"

"Yeah."

"No... the books... had to be... stored like that...?"

Gainando felt empty as he remembered the past when he had done his best both mentally and physically to protect that bundle.

He used to check even while sleeping at night, just in case...

"When the rainy season comes, books are naturally the first to get damaged. Do you want to rewrite the books if you lose them?"

"That's..."

"No, but..."

The Blue Dragon Tower students rarely agreed with Gainando on a regular basis, but this time they somewhat agreed.

Isn't it okay to lose some textbooks??

If you lose them, you just don't study a bit...

Swish-

"Water is coming in from below again!!"

"!!!"

The students' complexions changed.

Again, after they had barely scooped out the water?

As the princess was about to get up, Gainando blocked her and shouted.

"I'll go alone this time!"

"..."

While the princess was so dumbfounded that she was at a loss for words, Gainando sent a wink.

The princess began to suspect that this half-brother was provoking her.

She had no intention of engaging in petty checks and quarrels, but it was a different story if the other party provoked her like this.

"This is happening too frequently. It's a big problem."

"Is it too much even for your ability, Wardanaz?"

Anglago asked, looking disgusted.

Yi-Han had scooped out water like an ocean on the boat earlier.

To the point where sailors would have shed tears and tried to scout him if they had seen it.

If even Yi-Han found it too much...

"No. I can solve it, but it's meaningless if it happens repeatedly in other towers like this. I can't block everything."

'...Is he crazy...?'

Anglago thought inwardly at the sight of Yi-Han naturally assuming to take care of all four towers.

But he couldn't say it out loud.

If he did, his friends would shove Anglago under the water, excluding only the White Tiger Tower, for the crime of being spiteful.

"Are the individual rooms intact now?"

"Huh? Yeah."

"Everyone, leave important items in your individual rooms and come out. Let's evacuate with only the necessary luggage."

"...To where??"

—

The skull principal burst into laughter as a realm gate opened on the 3rd floor stairs of the main building.

As expected, a waterfall poured out and sent an unfortunate 3rd year student down like a slide.

-Damn ■ Einrogua■ cursed■...!-

It seemed like he was shouting something, but the skull principal ignored it and nodded his head contentedly.

“Can't even block that water. Still a long way to go! Haha!”

-Master?-

"What is it?"

-Your disciple is moving with the 1st year students.-

"...Huh?"

The skull principal was slightly taken aback by the unexpected report.

Moving with students in this weather.

He thought he would diligently scoop out the water as if blocking enemies rushing in from inside the tower...

The tower would be the best place to be in?

Currently, the only places that were intact in the great flood were the school buildings protected by magic.

However, the protection was only for the buildings, not the students. It was evident from the 3rd year student who had just been blown away.

At least the tower was the dormitory for the students, so the individual rooms were protected...

The death knight looked at the skull principal's expression and reported cautiously.

-Uh... he seems to be going to the library with students from other towers. It seems he will stay in the library for a while...-

"..."

The skull principal, honestly, was beyond anger and instead felt admiration.
