Chapter 453

"Ugh, you... you bastard! I was worried about you...!"

"Sorry."

Yi-Han knocked down the screaming squire.

The squire couldn't withstand it since it was already difficult to win in a clash of swordsmanship skills, let alone being ambushed.

"Choi! Even you!"

"So, sorry."

Dolgyu quickly took down the squire.

"Moradi, you... I see! It's a trick you ordered?!"

"..."

Jijel frowned and kicked the fallen squire with her foot, pushing him off the deck. The squire fell into the sea with a splash.

"It's an ambush! Come and help quickly!"

"Put down the crossbows and come here! Wardanaz is attacking!"

"What? We can't use magic!"

Dolgyu protested without realizing it.

"We didn't use it!"

"Now's not the time to answer that, Dolgyu."

Yi-Han quickly scanned the deck.

They had knocked down a few with the ambush, but there were still remaining squires. As expected of those who trained together in the knight order, they quickly gathered on the deck and formed a formation even in the sudden situation.

In contrast, Yi-Han's side not only had fewer numbers but also lacked stamina from swimming for a long time. It would be dangerous to fight for long.

"Yi-Han. They're trying to surround us!"

"I know. Let's move to the side!"

Yi-Han ran away from the center of the deck towards the bow. The narrow passage next to the cabin connected to the bow was quite cramped, making it difficult to surround them.

The squires trying to surround them from behind shouted in surprise.

"Hey! Why are you running away! You have to occupy the warship!"

"Will you fight one-on-one?!"

"Th, that's not possible, but..."

As the squires persistently chased after them, Yi-Han suddenly stopped and turned around.

Then he pointed his sword.

Thinking he finally decided to fight, the squires also carefully grabbed their swords.

They had suffered several times after being deceived by the name of the Wardanaz family. They absolutely didn't let their guard down.

"I'm coming."

"Come, Wardanaz. We won't back down easi..."

Whoosh!

Yi-Han turned around again and started running back.

"..."

"...Ah, no. Are you really from the Wardanaz family?!"

The squires chased after him again, shouting.

They couldn't figure out what this guy was up to.

There was no point in running around the warship like this...

"He might be aiming for divide and conquer. Moradi is over there! Be careful!"

"Got it. Everyone, don't let your guard down! Even if the path is narrow, don't get too far apart!"

Jijel, who was running in front of Yi-Han, cursed the squires inwardly.

Fools who couldn't see the proper truth because of the family's image!

A chase ensued, and when Yi-Han's group's steps gradually slowed down, the squires finally caught up from both sides.

"Huff... huff huff."

"Phew, phew."

A situation where only rough breathing could be heard as they were all exhausted.

"Wa... Wardanaz. There's nowhere to run now. Let's duel."

"Yeah. Okay."

Yi-Han readily nodded.

Of course, the squires didn't believe him.

"Don't fall for it."

"That Choi guy is the same. You saw him calmly using tricks with an innocent face, right?"

"..."

Dolgyu blushed slightly in embarrassment.

Suddenly, Yi-Han pointed behind him and shouted.

"Behind! Look behind you!"

"Wardanaz... do you think we'll fall for that?"

The squires spoke with a prideful expression.

They felt like they had become skilled at dealing with all sorts of tricks while facing Yi-Han's group.

Seeing that expression, Jijel clicked her tongue and muttered.

"I understand. It's really unfortunate. So, Professor. About the midterm exam grades..."

"It might not be over yet."

One of the knights of the White Wood Knight Order spoke seriously.

Professor Ingurdel threw a gaze as if he would listen attentively with a prudent face.

"Please speak. I'm listening."

"If a lot of time had passed, it would be different, but now, not much time has passed. We could recreate the same situation and try again."

"...!"

Professor Ingurdel was surprised.

"...!"

And Yi-Han was also surprised.

'What kind of nonsense is he saying so seriously?'

"Professor, the exam is over..."

"Wardanaz. This is a really important issue. This might be even more important than the exam."

"That's just absurd..."

A White Tiger Tower student behind him blurted out without much thought.

"Wardanaz doesn't need to study more for the exam, right? He'll get a perfect score anyway."

Yi-Han glared at that student as if he would kill him. Anglago avoided his gaze in terror.

'Wh, what did I do wrong...!'

"And recreating the exact same situation as before is unreasonable. My friends are all exhausted and need to prepare for the next exam."

"Hmm."

Professor Ingurdel felt sorry, thinking that was certainly true.

The White Tiger Tower students were tired now...

"There are young knights here."

The knights of the White Wood Knight Order stepped forward.

They pointed to the squires and said.

"He can climb up while carrying them."

"..."

While Yi-Han was at a loss for words, Professor Ingurdel was moved.

"Everyone...! Thank you. I knew the honor of the White Wood Knight Order, but I didn't expect it to be to this extent..."

"How could we, as knights, abandon a comrade who walks the same path of the sword?"

The faces of the squires turned pale.

Yi-Han let out a deep sigh as he saw them.

The White Tiger Tower students thought inwardly.

'I'm so glad I'm not Wardanaz.'

'Being the top student of the year isn't always a good thing!'

Seeing that, happiness might not necessarily be related to grades.

—

"Moradi... I'll curse you."

Yi-Han returned several hours later than the other students.

He had to swim with the squires in the sea and climb the outer wall of the warship tied to each other with a rope.

Of course, the phenomenon he felt earlier didn't come back. Professor Ingurdel and the knights were very disappointed.

-It's really unfortunate.-

-I think he should have carried his close friends after all...-

Yi-Han was grateful for the first time that this week was the midterm exam period.

Otherwise, the knights would have shown him hell until he gained enlightenment.

'Are the knights becoming like Einroguard, or was the world originally Einroguard?'

With such thoughts, Yi-Han moved his steps.

Beyond the darkening waterway, a familiar white skull was seen.

"Principal."

-What is it? Why are you coming back so late? And alone?-

Yi-Han decided not to mention what Professor Ingurdel had made him do.

He didn't want to increase things that would make the skull principal happy for nothing.

"I was a bit late because I was studying to prepare for the exams."

-If it were other students, I would have praised them, but for you, it's a waste of time. Stop doing useless things and quickly master the magic you haven't mastered yet.-

The skull principal gave kind and gentle advice. Yi-Han nodded, grateful for that warm advice.

"Ah. Yes. What are you doing, Principal?"

-I was looking around the submerged scenery of Einroguard and feeling sorry for the students' suffering.-

"...Ah. Yes. I see."

Yi-Han pretended to leave after greeting him.

And immediately, he cast all the invisibility magic and underwater breathing magic he had and jumped into the water, approaching the direction where the skull principal was.
