âIt is possible that someone more rude than Professor Baegrekâ¦â
Lee Han, who was about to say whatever his tongue moved, realized belatedly that Voladi was right next to him.
ââ¦wasnât that a matter of course? Most of the people in the Empire will be more rude than Professor Bagreg.â
âAre you crazy?â
Eumidhus was bewildered.
It was so absurd that he looked at Professor Voladi with a gaze saying, âTell me about it.â
But Professor Voladi answered without blinking an eye.
âThank you for appreciating me that way.â
âhaha. I just said the obvious.â
ââ¦â¦â
Eumidius was stunned by the appearance of this perverted priest.
âNo matter how much you are your own teacher, you have to say things that make sense objectively⦠thatâs it. Letâs go.â
Eumidhus brought a chariot from the front. It was a wagon pulled by huge water spirits.
Like a magicianâs wagon, when I opened the door, a wide interior that was different from what I saw from the outside unfolded.
Like an excellent water elemental wizard, the interior was composed of the sea and the rivers meandering above it.
Eumidhus walked into the sea casually and leaned softly. The water parted and supported the old wizardâs body.
âWhy?â
âThis is Eumidhus. So, what specifically is that student more rude than Professor Bagreg?â
Seeing Lee Han whispering in a low voice, Eumidhus doubted whether Lee Han was actually judging Boladi quite coldly.

Nilia and Yoner ate lollipops and whistled. Then a beautiful mermaidâs song came out.
I thought I could understand why this was the most popular in the candy store.
âCainan Island. You too.â
âno. There is no limit.â
âProfessor Garcia said. Something happened and I canât help it.â
âWhy are you getting kidnapped everywhere you go?â
Gainando grumbled and pushed away the candy Ratford suggested.
He wanted candy, but he was willing to hold back if he could show that he wasnât feeling well.
âThatâs because Wodanaz-nim knows so many people and is favored by professorsâ¦â
âIf you are favored, you should cherish it. Why kidnap!
When Kainando became angry, the other three friends unknowingly agreed.
âWell, thatâs right.â
If you are a disciple you care about, you should give them a chance to recharge after having a good rest and having fun during vacation. Why do you keep trying to kidnap them on the street?
Thanks to that, only Guinando, who went out to play and lost his friend to the professors, was all pouty.
âBut this time I will be back soon.â
âthatâs right. Even Professor Garcia said it was no big deal this time.â
âjoy. how do you believe that After the work is over, you can change your appointment again and kidnap it.â
Gainando spit out a voice that, if Einrogard seniors heard it, they would say, âSuch an honorable junior guy has already realized the truthâ.
Professors are basically liars.
âIf thatâs the case, letâs go get it.â
âTo save?â
At Yonerâs words, Gainando was tempted.
âhuh. Professors also have a conscience, so if you pick them up, they will let you go.â
âCertainly⦠Besides, youâre not going to notice it since youâre in the city, right?â
Kainandoâs face brightened.
If it was inside Ein Rogard, the professor could send a punishment room with a single finger, but this was outside the school.
If they screamed loudly and screamed, âPeople in the city here, a mad wizard is exploiting the nobles of House Wardanazâ, would you not let them go as dirty and mean?
Yoner, not yet aware of Gainandoâs extreme thoughts, nodded.
âokay. Letâs go get it.â
âyouâre right. I will open the door.â
âThen I will shoot a flaming arrow and burn it.â
ââ¦for a moment. Didnât I tell you to go get it? Didnât you say letâs go fight?â
While Yoner panicked, Gainando screamed.
âThat one!!â
âwhy?â
âThat carriage! That wagon!!â
âWhatâs with that wagon?â
âLee Han has been kidnapped! Theyâre being pulled in that carriage!â
ââ¦!!â
âSuch nonsenseâ¦!â
Nilia was horrified.
Professors were not professors for nothing.
If you are in the city, you can be pursued, so after kidnapping, go out of the city to try to evade the chase.
Even in the cold northern mountains, criminals of the empire would
sometimes run away from pursuitâ¦
âChase! We have to go after Nilia!â
âwhat? that one?â
âWhat are you⦠that⦠that! okay! They are the proud Shadow Rangers!â
Gainando praised Nilia, whether or not he was in a hurry.
At the side, Ratford also helped.
âyouâre right! If not the Shadow Ranger, who will follow the trail of that wagon!â
ââ¦after. I canât help it. Everyone follow me!!â
âShould I dry it now?â
Yoner followed in the footsteps of the three friends, contemplating when to stop.

Alcicle Pengerin.
A disciple of Eumidihus (though he himself denied it), he was more rude than Professor Taching Bolladi.
Lee Han couldnât believe it.
âIs that really possible?â
âSince I first came, Alcicle said he was interested in ice magic.â
âokay.â
Lee Han nodded and listened.
I still didnât feel good.
âThatâs why I wanted to learn water elemental magic.â
âCertainly, unlike other elemental magics, the two elemental magics have a close side.â
âokay. Thatâs why he asked me to teach him water magic so that he could become a foothold.â
âyes. ⦠yes?â
Hearing this, Lee Han hesitated.
âDid I hear that wrong?â
âWhat did you say?â
âTo be precise, he said that he would grant you the glory as a stepping stone that could help you with the great ice magic that you will complete in the future.â
ââ¦â¦â
âIs he crazy?â
Lee Han was taken aback.
If you want to learn magic from someone, itâs normal to bow your head and say, âPlease take care of me.â I didnât say, âIâll give you the honor to teach me.â
It was common knowledge that even Gainando knew.
âAre you from Ein Lorgard?â
âNo. And people from Ein Lorgard, surprisingly, donât do that.â
âAh⦠well, yes.â
Lee Han agreed.
If he had entered Einrogard with that kind of personality, he could have been locked up in the punishment room without graduating yet.
There was a harshness that taught politeness even to students who had no manners.
âI am embarrassed. Did you teach such a person magic?â
âItâs not because I didnât have talent⦠Magical talent comes first, and personality comes second.â
âIâm not Professor Voladiâs teacher for nothing.â
In Lee Hanâs mind, the evaluation of Yumidhus slightly went down.
The old saying was never wrong.
Itâs not for nothing that the word Yoo Yoo Sang-jong came outâ¦
âOf course, I suppressed him so that he wouldnât say anything arrogant in front of me.â
âGood job. ah. Then maybe you can reflect on the past and make a new oneâ¦â
âItâs not like that.â
ââ¦â¦â
Some peopleâs nature never changed no matter how much they were beaten.
And that was the case with the disciple of Eumidius, whom I am visiting now.
* * *
Not all the geniuses of the Empire entered Einrogard.
Some geniuses went to other magic schools for various reasons, and some chose to study on their own instead of going to magic schools.
Alcicle of the Pengerin family was one such case.
Instead of entering a magic school, a teacher was invited in the name of the family and learned separately!
If I went to magic school, my personality would have been modified to some extent, but since I was taught separately like this, I couldnât.
And, more unfortunately, Alcicleâs talent was objectively superior.
Itâs only natural that he becomes arrogant and arrogant because he didnât even go to magic school and was only praised for being excellent at every magic he learned.
It wasnât that I went to Eumidhus and said, âIâll give you a chance to stand on my feetâ.
Of course, he was hit, butâ¦
Anyway, Alsicle learned water magic from Yumidhus in return for being hit, and after getting some results, he moved on to the next step.
Like many wizards who want to devote themselves to research, they set up a tower in a place rich in natural magic and set up their own workshop.
A pagoda built deep in the snow mountain valley.
Traffic was the worst, but it was perfect for magic research.
âWhy are you here, Umidhus?â
Alsicle asked, somehow pulling back her long uncut hair, which had become annoying.
The water spirit sent by Eumidihus as a messenger drew letters in the air.
âIs there a disciple I need to teach?â
The water spirit nodded.
That answer seemed to make Alcicle feel a little better.
âI donât think there is a wizard like me. I understand the feelings of Eumidius.â
The water spirit spewed out waves of emotions, but Alcicle didnât notice it because he was intoxicated with himself.
To think that an outstanding wizard like Eumidhus recommended himself for the role of teacher.
This was something I couldnât help but be happy about.
âgood. to bring you! But youâd better keep this in mind. My teachings are very difficult and intricate, so if you canât follow them, itâs not my fault. Itâs not my fault that the student Eumidius brought isnât as genius as I am!â
The water spirit made an expression that looked like it was going to vomit once and then went back.
Alcicle fired a beam of light toward the valley, but belatedly came to his senses and summoned a mirror from the air into ice.
âUgh. What a mess. I need to brush my hair.â
* * *
âUnexpectedly, you kindly allow it.â
Lee Han was surprised to see the ice blocking the valley and making a path.
âDoes the person have to be right?â
How well did he get along with Eumidhus, so he opened the way as soon as he received a request like this?
âItâs because Alcicle himself is having a hard time these days.â
âAre you having a hard time?â
âThere has been no progress in my current magic research for several years. I havenât heard from the Imperial Society.â
Numerous wizards wanted to concentrate on their research, so they set up towers and workshops in Simsan Valley, but there were not many wizards among them who really produced proper results.
Most of them struggled with absurd goals and ideals, then gave up their workshops, or, very occasionally, ran out of taste and tried to dominate the nearby territories.
As much as that, it was a great pressure for a wizard to study magic.
A mage with great pride like Alcicle would feel even more pressure.
âIf you teach other mages, it will be a bit of a change of heart.â
âhello. Mr. Eumidhus.â
One of the penguin beasts brushed and walked out from inside.
Lee Han was immediately taken aback by the cute figure waddling around.
âProfessor Verdus and that person, why are all the crazy ones cute?â
On the outside, they looked harmless and cute, so they were more vicious.
How many people have been fooled by that impression?
âNice to meet youâ¦â
Before Lee Han could say hello, Alcicle looked down at Lee Han and said.
âLet me tell you first. It will be impossible for you to follow my teachings. Iâm telling you not to despair in advance. Got it?â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was dumbfounded, but instead of getting angry, he nodded.
I already knew that he was crazy, so there was no reason to be angry.
âThere is no need to deal with it.â
âBy the way, I already learned 3rd circle magic when I was your age. Got it?â
âIâve learned the 4th circle here.â
âEumidihus. Please donât make ridiculous jokes.â
âIâm serious.â
ââ¦???â
Alcicle looked at Professor Voladi. He meant to tell him the truth.
However, Professor Voladi nodded.
âIt is correct to have learned the 4th circle.â
ââ¦â¦Actually, the circle is not important.â
