Han, who came back after finishing the transaction, prepared for the outing by quietly doing things to do without raising work.
I made meals for the priests and served them, listened to the doctrine lecture of the winner this turn (surprisingly, the contest item the priests chose this turn was Gyeokgu), studied in the remaining time and did the assignments in advance⦠So it was past midnight and it was two in the morning
.
Lee Han had arrived in front of the Amur Stables.
âGood luck.â
âThank you as always.â
Seeing Lee Han quickly change into plain clothes, Amour had a new thought.
âLooks like Iâm too seasoned for a first year.â
Who would think that student was a freshman at Einrogard?
* * *
Objectively, Lee Han didnât go out that many times.
However, Lee Han started working so skillfully that even the picky seniors of Einrogard acknowledged, âEven if I do it myself, I canât do better than thatâ¦â.
ready freshmen.
That was Lee Han.
As soon as dawn came and the shops in the village opened, Lee Han quickly ran down the new road and bought necessary supplies at random. Rice, barley
, rye,
lentils, onion, potato, pea, garlic, goatâs milk, olive oil and palm oil, peaches, grapes, melons, bananasâ¦
A few canned sauces and peanut butter Mildly spicy tomato sauce Coffee grounds and tea leaves Maple syrup Flat cookies and chocolate.
âWouldnât it be better to bring some meat too? Because there is a limit to self-seeking from within.â
I canât take much because itâs bulky, but pickled herring, sardines, gutted lamb, pork sausage, canned beef, and even duck.
Before the morning was over, Lee Han finished preparing all supplies.
Boxes packed so tightly that not a single hair could fit inside.
Seeing that, Lee Han suddenly had a little self-reflection.
âhmm. Did I buy it like a crazy person?â
It looked like someone who was fleeing from a rebellion rather than a student returning to magic school.
âAre you still resting? If you havenât started preparing yet, letâs have a cup of tea togetherâ¦â
Amour, who woke up late, noticed Lee Han standing outside and thought that he hadnât started preparing yet.
But when I opened the door, I saw a pile of boxes.
ââ¦Are you done?â
âyes.â
ââ¦Then letâs go get some tea.â
Amour opened the door to Jakseol, a teahouse in Philone Village, ordered two cups of tea and sat down.
Instead of sitting by the window with a nice view, Lee Han went inside.
It was a place where people passing by could not easily see their faces because there was a partition.
If you jumped on it, you could jump out a window or out the back door. Lee Han carefully checked the escape route just in case.
âNo way⦠no way someone will come after me nowâ¦?â
âIâm just being careful.â
Lee Han said it casually, but Amour wondered if he should at least send a letter to the capital.
No matter how strict the school is, does it make sense to send a chaser for sneaking out on the weekend?
âCouldnât the Wardanaz student misunderstand?â
While I was thinking about that, tea and refreshments came out. Lee Han wondered how he could bring some tea made with rice and honey.
âThereâ¦â
â??â
Inside a secluded teahouse.
Both Lee Han and Amour flinched when a new guest came in who looked blatantly suspicious.
It was common in Granden City, a large city, to cover the whole body with a cloak like that, but it was not so common here in the village of Philone.
âWhat is it? Have any strange guests visited the village lately?â
âThat never happened⦠um⦠ah. A group of strange people came to town who kept talking among themselves, âWe have to fix the golem like that tooâ.â
ââ¦sorry. They are wizards invited to the festival.â
âexactly? Oh, there were also black magicians?â
âEven warlocks can be invitedâ¦â
Lee Han corrected Amourâs prejudice.
Amour was surprised that warlocks were also invited.
âAnyway, you mean there were no guests other than the wizards?â
âAs far as I know, it was.â
Lee Han and Amour looked at the new guest with wariness.
From the clothes to the behavior, anyone could see that it was blatantly suspicious.
However, the misunderstanding was quickly cleared up.
Cheek-
âPlease donât ever tell anyone I came here. Could I get something to eat and drink, by any chance, by entrusting you with this wooden sword?â
ââ¦What are you doing there, Hen?â
Lee Han asked in amazement at the appearance of the White Tiger Tower student.
Hearing Lee Hanâs call, Angrago let out a shrill scream and almost fell.
âWoah⦠Wordanaz!â
âokay.â
âDid you come to catch me on the professorâs orders! You bastard!â
ââ¦no. I came out first.â
â!?!â
* * *
Lee Han and Salko evaluated it negatively, but surprisingly, the escape route found by the White Tiger Tower students was real.
Even an elephant will step on a mouse if it keeps walking backwards.
âAmazing!â
Lee Han was honestly surprised.
These kids are really going to find out.
âWhat method did you use?â
âThere was a summoning magic festival this time, right? Because of the festival, the top wagons came in quite a bitâ¦â
The front door was opened and the wagons came in.
The White Tiger Tower students aimed at the carriage.
The surveillance will be relatively weak as people come and go, so letâs sneak into the wagon and escape!
I canât use it regularly, but itâs a nice way of poking a hole in the situation.
âI did that and was attacked by anti-magicalists, but these bastards are lucky.â
Lee Han grumbled inwardly.
âfor a moment. Did only one or two of you escape? It moves with your group.â
âokay. We moved as a group.â
âThen how did you hide in the carriage?â
Since Lee Han moved alone, it was not too difficult for him to grab a wagon and get on.
Invisibility magic, of course, adding one person was not very obvious.
ââ¦I didnât hide.â
âwhat?â
To Lee Hanâs question, Anrago replied with his face blushing with embarrassment.
âI didnât hide.â
âthenâ¦?â
ââ¦they grabbed the upper ranks and locked them in the wagon, and we rode together.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han and Amur looked at Angrago in amazement.
Thatâsâ¦
a wagon robber!
âYouâ¦â
âDonât talk! Wodhanaz I know, damn it!â
âYouâre not a knight, but a robberâ¦â
âHeuk.â
Even thinking about it, Anrago bit his lip in embarrassment.
âBut there was no way! How to convince the top employees! Anyone can do thatâ¦â
Angrago, who had been saying that, suddenly changed his words after seeing Leehan.
ââ¦at least we had no way!â
âDidnât this bastard just look at me?â
âThatâs right. Iâm not in a position to say anything. Even if it were me, I could have done that.â
At Lee Hanâs words, Angragoâs face brightened a little.
He didnât know that Wodanaz would say that.
âOnce you miss an opportunity, itâs hard to seize it⦠Anyway, I know you guys grabbed each of the easy wagons and got stuck in there. Then youâve succeeded, so why are you such a beggar?â
âThatâs⦠thatâs it.â
â??â
âAfter passing through the gates and coming out a little bit⦠I released the⦠staff.â
ââ¦I canât believe itâ¦â
Lee Han was shocked again.
âDid you just release it near Ein Lorgard? Didnât you release them after you got away from school, apologized for what happened today, aroused sympathy for how much you suffered from Einrogardâs harsh rules, and promised to make amends in the name of your family?â
ââ¦wasnât it because you were together?â
Anrago pouted and grumbled.
How comfortable it would have been if Wodanaz had been in the same carriage!
âNo, no one in the White Tiger Tower would think of this?â
âThatâs⦠only released from our wagon.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Amour, who was quietly listening, tapped his forehead.
This made it difficult to act as a group.
There is always one loach that turns the situation into a mess.
âIs this a secret?? I still donât know which carriage the other friends released the employee firstâ¦â
âIâm proud of you, you bastard.â
Lee Han sighed.
There would have been no disaster for the other White Tiger Tower students who did not know the situation.
âWhat did the freed employee say?â
âThank you for letting me go, so I thought it was okay. We said sorry too.â
âWerenât your eyes burning with anger?â
âYeah⦠He ran right to the front door and accused usâ¦â
ââ¦â¦â
I could guess what happened next even without hearing it.
The Einro Guard summoned beasts waiting at the front gate would have jumped out and started chasing the wagon, so the White Tiger Tower students were frightened and had no choice but to escape in all directions.
Most would have just been caughtâ¦
âHow did you get out?â
ââ¦â¦â
âHow did you come out?â
â⦠hiding in the prize box.â
âIn the box? Arenât there wagon boxes?â
âUhâ¦â
said Anrago, blushing even more.
Somehow, I thought that Anrago smelled like strong myrrh, but it must have been in the reagent box.
âokay. Well done⦠What can I do? for a moment. I understand youâre worried about getting caught, but why barter with a wooden sword?â
âThatâs because there are no silver coins!â
Angrago said as if he was sincerely sorry.
Students who suffered greatly in the first semester prepared for the second semester.
It was easy to get into trouble when going out as silver and gold coins were confiscated when entering magic school.
So some clever students went to the guild in Philone village and deposited the money along with the certificate.
And the cleverer skeleton headmaster disguised himself as students as soon as the semester started and took all the money he had entrusted to him.
ââ¦Did you think you would leave it to the superiors and not get caught? You should have left it in a place that doesnât seem to have anything to do with you. Should I exchange it for an artifact with high liquidity and carry it with me?â
ââ¦Kuhâ¦â
Angrago suffered at Lee Hanâs point.
If only I could do a little betterâ¦!
âdone. You also suffered a lot. I will buy this, so drink some.â
âReally???â
ââ¦okay.â
Lee Han ordered a snack because Anragoâs face looked so pitiful. Anragoâs cheeks exploded and he threw in the refreshment.
Amur whispered next to him.
âI donât think all Einrogard students are the same.â
ââ¦haha. All students are different.â
Lee Han thought while Anrago ate.
âBecause of these bastards, work has become awkward for no reason.â
As long as you donât know how far the pursuers will chase you, you canât go around comfortably.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
There was nothing more unfair than being caught together.
It was fortunate that I made all the necessary preparations in the morning, butâ¦
âI need to secure more silver coins.â
Lee Han had secured a certain amount of gold and silver coins, but when he saw Ein Rogard, the more funds the better.
For the rest of the day, I was going to change things while going around the stores, but I just felt uncomfortable.
If the Skull Principalâs Death Knights are waitingâ¦
âArenât you a wizard?â
â!?â
Lee Han realized later that he had been distracted by the conversation with Angrago.
I immediately grabbed Angrago by the back and pushed him forward, preparing to escape through the back escape route.
But it didnât have to be. The opponent was a familiar face.
Adventurer Gu Bon and Busy Deck, who requested together during the last vacation.
The two greeted Lee Han with very friendly faces.
âYou are right, Wizard! By the way⦠the person in front⦠Whyâ¦?â
âMy hand slipped.â
Lee Han let go of Angragoâs nape and brushed his hands. Angrago glared at Leehan.
