Chapter 443

"What did you say?"

Yi-Han, who was sitting on the devouring-ship fish, asked in puzzlement.

-Perfect score...-

"It's not a perfect score! It's not, so everyone come in!"

Professor Rosine hurriedly covered the demon's mouth and called the students.

The exam hadn't even started yet, and he was arbitrarily giving a perfect score!

-Why are you doing that?-

"That's for me to say! The exam hasn't even started yet!"

-But with that level, there's no point in taking the exam...-

Orifulas was genuinely upset.

He was trying to reduce the work for Professor Rosine's sake!

"We have to take the exam."

-Don't tell me, mage. Are you also someone who follows unnecessary formalities just because it's customary?-

"...There are still many unconfirmed parts."

Professor Rosine didn't waver.

Of course, she understood to some extent why Orifulas had shouted perfect score just now.

Just being able to control such a devouring-ship fish without hindrance and arrive in front of the lecture hall was already quite remarkable.

But the evaluation criteria for the midterm exam were not just one, and various aspects had to be considered comprehensively.

"First, where and in what situation did you find it..."

-Where did you meet it?-

"Yi-Han summoned it with the prie... priests."

-Perfect score!! Perfect score!!!-

Orifulas applauded in admiration.

Even though he had been working for over a hundred years bound by the empire's mages, such an amazing sight was rare.

"I told you to stay still!"

Professor Rosine gritted her teeth and covered Orifulas's mouth. The contract binding the demon activated, and Orifulas's tongue stuck to the ceiling.

-Mmph! Mmph!-

"...How did you all make the contract?"

Professor Rosine tried to move on but couldn't resist asking.

Honestly, she was too curious.

Let's say it was possible to summon it just by being really lucky.

Of course, this was still hard to understand right now, but...

But how did they really make the contract?

'What kind of contract would it be to control the devouring-ship fish like that?'

"Yi-Han asked, do you want to attack the principal's room? Or will you help us? Then it said it would help."

-Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!-

Orifulas applauded with a moved expression, his mouth covered.

To think a student who had learned for a semester would use such an advanced technique.

The advanced technique of proposing a choice that the summoned being can barely make but is reluctant to choose, and then guiding them to the real choice.

It was that technique where inexperienced and lacking beings from other dimensions would be so scared after being tricked once that they would develop a mage phobia.

"...Yi-Han, you don't need to take the midterm exam, so just observe from the side."

"Pardon? What did I do wrong?"

Yi-Han, who was wiping off the moisture, was flustered.

Professor Rosine, who always praised students in a lively voice, looked so exhausted.

'Did I make a mistake?'

—

Fortunately, he didn't.

After grasping the situation, Yi-Han sympathized with Professor Rosine's instructions.

"The principal is really too much."

"Of, of course the principal has his own thoughts!"

Professor Rosine, who was exhausted, came to her senses at Yi-Han's words.

The role of a professor was to stop students when they cursed the principal, not encourage them.

"He must have his own thoughts, yes. Thoughts of giving pain to the students."

"..."

Professor Rosine wondered if Yi-Han had been hit by the skull principal.

-Grrrr mage! Grrrr kill!-

"I... I didn't even trap it, why are you doing this to me! I, I'll call Yi-Han!"

Gainando shouted at the monster trapped in the cage, turning pale.

Of course, the monster didn't understand Yi-Han's name and roared fiercely.

-Hmm... Threatening is a good choice, but you should have used a name the other party knows.-

Orifulas gave advice and scored from the side.

-If it's a name the other party doesn't know, you should at least explain it so the other party can guess.-

“Professor Fluerwerk. Did you take the box from Spirit Warehouse 47?”

"Yes. I needed it to trap the heart predator in a cage..."

“I think it's a waste to use such an expensive one for the ironheads...”

The skull principal, who was floating down, was shocked to see the devouring-ship fish summoned and waiting miserably in front of the lecture hall.

“Oh my skull! What is that!!”

"???"

"??????"

The students who were lining up were startled by the skull principal's scream.

"Principal. That's... a devouring-ship fish. Don't you know what a devouring-ship fish is?"

The skull principal hung Gainando upside down with just his gaze. The upside-down Gainando let out a scream filled with injustice.

“Who the hell obtained a devouring-ship fish and where!”

"...We don't know!"

"We don't know anything about it!"

The students bravely confronted him.

One of the things they learned at Einroguard was 'If there's no evidence, insist stubbornly.'

But the skull principal wasn't asking because he didn't know in the first place.

“Wardanaz!”

"Yes?"

“How the hell did you obtain it?”

"I don't know what you're talking about?"

“...”

For a moment, the skull principal almost grabbed his disciple's collar, breaking the principle of 'innocent if not caught' that he had repeatedly told the students.

Just like his disciple...

“I'm not angry, so tell me honestly. I'm asking out of pure curiosity.”

"I don't know what you're talking about. We just met the devouring-ship fish while it was drifting."

“...Beavle? You must have obtained it through Beavle, right?”

The skull principal asked questions as if leading.

However, the disciple in front of him was not easy. He answered again with no change in expression.

"I don't know what you're..."

“...”

The skull principal glared at Yi-Han with suspicious eyes.

It wasn't because the devouring-ship fish was taken from him now.

No, of course that was absurd too, but...

'How the hell did he enter the professors' lounge and steal it?'

What the skull principal wanted to know was the method.

If he couldn't figure that out, the professors' lounge could be breached again.

“Beavle... It must be Beavle. There's no one else but Beavle.”

The skull principal spoke as if half convinced and half probing.

Yi-Han didn't say anything. At times like this, it was best to stay as still as possible.

“Very impressive. But remember. The devouring-ship fish is a very fierce beast...”

The skull principal, who was about to curse something out of frustration, saw the devouring-ship fish waiting dejectedly.

It was doing all sorts of odd jobs, as if properly bound by the contract.

“You stupid thing! You call yourself a spiritual beast of the sea after doing that?!”

The devouring-ship fish spewed water with a sad expression at the sudden insult from the grand mage.

It was already miserable...

“Yes. I'll acknowledge it this time. But someday... Someday you will fall into a trap too. Understood?”

"I will keep that in mind."

“Hmph. Let's see then. I'll prepare the most boring and tedious spot in the punishment room for you!”

The skull principal disappeared into the distance, making an eerie sound.

The students behind thought inwardly.

'...The professors' lounge...'

'...He stole from it??'

While the friends were shocked, thinking it couldn't be, Orifulas opened his mouth.

-Two perfect scores, two perfect scores...!-

"Shh. Be quiet."

Professor Rosine silenced Orifulas, watching the skull principal fly away.

Provoking the skull principal, who was in a very grumpy mood, was not a good idea.

'I just had wondered where he got the materials needed for summoning the devouring-ship fish...'

Professor Rosine quietly added another + next to the A+.

It was a sign of respect for an outstanding student.
