Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Han carefully put the ticket to go out. In that movement, I could feel that he was cautious in case someone would take it away.

Professor Garcia and Headmaster Skeleton thought to themselves at the same time.

‘No one takes it away…’

Is your body okay?

“yes.”

okay. Then, since I received all the awards, I must be punished.

“……”

Lee Han looked at the skeleton headmaster as if it was absurd.

Headmaster Skeleton said as if his heart was hurting.

don’t look at me like that Because my heart hurts too But rules are rules.

‘That’s a 100% lie.’

No matter how Lee Han looked at it, it was right that the principal enjoyed it.

I’m just saying this to avoid misunderstanding, but I’m not punished for trying to go out without permission.

“Then what?”

Caught and punished.

“……”

So, did you have to watch Professor Garcia get stabbed?

The words got to Lee Han’s throat, but he held back.

Since ancient times, I have never been good at answering a professor.

‘Let’s wait. Be patient.’

The sun has just risen. Until next year, in the punishment room, try to think about how you won’t be caught next time.

Along with his words, Headmaster Skeleton threw a book at Lee Han.

A book bound in plain black leather. It was a strangely creepy book.

“What is this?”

This is a book that tells you not to be bored in the punishment room. Would you like to read it once?

An expression of ‘Can I believe this?’ passed by very quickly on Lee Han’s face.

First of all, the skeleton headmaster was pleased with the pupil’s appearance with suspicion.

Move the student to the punishment room.

The Skeleton Principal’s summons approached and raised Lee Han to his feet.

from this morning to tomorrow morning.

Lee Han will stay in the school’s punishment room.

* * *

Go down the basement stairs, walk down the hallway, go down the next flight of stairs and walk down the hallway again… It

seems like I’ve repeated this dozens of times. I was wearing an eyepatch, but I don’t think I would have been able to memorize the road without it.

bang!

“hmm.”

When the door closed and he was alone, Lee Han looked around the punishment room.

It didn’t look much different from a private room in a dormitory.

Instead of sunlight coming in from outside, artificial lights flicker and illuminate to the extent that it gives a feeling of darkness.

‘Is this the punishment room? It’s not as big as I thought.’

Lee Han thought that this could last for several weeks.

Living as graduate students, there were times when several people lived in a room much smaller than this.

Compared to that, it was very comfortable.

Lee Han promised to tell Nilia later that ‘the punishment room wasn’t as big as I thought’.

Of course, I didn’t know if Nilia would think so either.

– Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.

“?”

The hard voice of an undead summoner came from outside.

– Take it.

The bottom of the door opened and a large basket came in.

Whole roast lamb seasoned with salt and pepper sauce served in a bowl with freshly baked bread and sugar and butter Baked apples Freshly cooked fried eggs Almonds and chocolate mixed with slightly firm, still warm steaming biscuits… ‘Huh?

‘

The meal came out so well for a punishment, that Lee Han was taken aback.

what?

-It’s a gift from Professor Garcia.

“Ah… tell me thank you.”

-It’s not over yet. take more

“no. Sleeping…”

Lee Han was taken aback by the baskets that kept coming in.

Can you eat all of this in one day?

Fortunately, there were more preserves from the next basket.

From chocolates wrapped in tinfoil to candies. Round flat cookies and tea leaves in a box of salt-roasted peanuts. Apple juice and orange juice in a glass bottle…

‘I don’t know what you’ll like, so I guess I put everything in.’

Lee Han thanked Professor Garcia for the gift and put the basket aside.

While in the punishment room, it seemed that his mouth would not be boring.

Fluff-

Yihan brewed black tea, added milk and sugar, and drank little by little, deep in thought.

The fight against the imperial anti-magicists was brutal even now. To the point where I thought, ‘You managed to fight like that’.

The reason why I was able to stay calm in the fight…

‘It must have been thanks to Allarlong’s teachings.’

If Allarron was by his side, he would have reacted in bewilderment, saying, ‘No, I didn’t teach you that kind of wit in magic battles or real battles’, but Allarron was not by his side.

Unbeknownst to Lee Han, Lee Han certainly had a natural talent for fighting. It was a fact that all other professors acknowledged.

‘thanks. Allarron.’

Lee Han cast magic.

“Move.”

The feather pen floated gently in the air and began to move naturally.

It was a smooth movement that I could never have imagined when I first learned magic.

Lee Han put down the feather pen and cast a spell on the iron ball.

An almost perfect circle was drawn in the air.

‘It’s a bit emotional that Professor Voladi’s words were true.’

Sometimes there were times when some professors made students angry by only saying the right thing rather than the wrong one.

I never thought that this would prove what Professor Voladi said, ‘Practice will improve your skills’.

It was something I felt when fighting anti-magicalists, but my skills really improved.

‘If I practice a few more times, I will become a great wizard. Either die before then.’

Lee Han put down the iron ball. It didn’t happen because I wanted to, but I didn’t feel bad.

‘By the way, that swordsmanship…’

Lee Han recalled the swordsmanship he fought against the opponent’s boss.

As Allarron taught, it was a great help to improve my skills by looking back like this, rather than just skipping over a fight I won or lost.

‘…No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t normal swordsmanship, right?’

At that time, the opponent was so strong that he shouted at me without hesitation, but now that I think about it, it was not normal swordsmanship no matter how I look at it.

Where is the swordsmanship that pours mana like a madman and beats it?

It was a surprise because Lee Han had plenty of magical power, but it wasn’t strange what happened.

Even the sword was smashed at the end.

Allarron said that an excellent swordsman could create an aura by condensing the mana within the body well into a sword, but in Yihan’s view, what Leehan did was something more… ‘…I don’t know what to call it, but I’ll have to be careful from now on.

‘

Lee Han made up his mind not to end up doing something reckless and being featured in the section of the imperial newspaper.

After drinking the tea, one thing left came into my eyes.

…It was the black book the principal gave me.

‘Should I open this?’

Lee Han seriously thought about it.

Is this a gift from the principal or a trap?

It is a gift from the principal- >The principal is also a human being, and you will know that Lee Han fought hard to save the professor. I put him in the punishment room according to the rules, but I have no choice but to be sorry. This would be a gift given as a sign of sorry.

It’s the principal’s trap- >Strictly speaking, the principal is not a human but an undead. no human heart And the principal obviously enjoyed putting him in the punishment room earlier. If that’s the case…

‘…I feel it’s highly likely to be a trap.’

Does it seem like a trap after all?

Lee Han decided to decide later and tried to push the book away.

It was then.

Squeeze!

“!?”

As Lee Han raised his hand, the black-bound book was forcibly opened.

And the letters on the open page came out as if they were alive and wrapped around Lee Han’s hand and started digging into it.

“!!!!”

Lee Han was shocked as if someone had hit his brain with knowledge directly.

‘What the hell…!’

It was confusing and painful, but I could see what this book was trying to do.

This book was trying to pass on one magic right now.

Lee Han’s mouth opened instinctively. Then he memorized the magic name.

“Gonadaltes’… shrewd steps…!”

Pod!

When the transfer was over, the book slammed again and closed tightly. Even though Lee Han tried to open it with an absurd expression, it did not open as if a nail had been driven in.

‘What kind of book is this?’

Lee Han grabbed his head, which was tingling with a headache, and looked over the magic knowledge he had just been taught.

As he had originally read, the magical knowledge of remained vividly in Lee Han’s head.

From order to action.

Of course, that didn’t mean he could use magic right away. It was up to Lee Han to realize it himself based on that knowledge.

‘In a nutshell, it’s a book that teaches magic by force…’

From the name of the magic, you could tell that it was magic created by the headmaster himself.

With that kind of magic, the skeleton headmaster could have summoned Lee Han and taught him one-on-one, but why did he teach it in such an eccentric way?

‘It must be because the headmaster is a madman. After all, people go crazy after being a professor for a long time.’

Lee Han understood this on his own. Of course

, the reason why the principal didn’t teach directly was because after teaching one-on-one, other professors and outsiders would say, ‘That crazy wizard is trying to ruin another young talent!’

was not there.

“You feet, fold the ground. Feet, wrinkle the ground. Feet, land…”

There’s nothing to do. Lee Han diligently memorized the newly learned spell.

Lee Han himself said, ‘I’m not that greedy for magic’, but looking at it objectively, Lee Han was right.

Usually freshmen play when they have nothing to do, not ‘let’s study because there’s nothing to do’ like Lee Han.

thump-

“…?”

Lee Han paused at the sound of a knock on the wall coming from somewhere.

what?

“Foot, ground…”

Tung-tung-tung-

I didn’t hear it wrong. Lee Han carefully brought his ear close to the wall of the punishment cell.

thump –

the sound was a little louder.

Lee Han also knocked on the wall. Hearing the sound, the other person also paused for a moment.

A rough, husky, low voice came.

“…Can you hear me?”

“I can hear you.”

“What grade are you in?”

“I’m new here.”

“Is it iron? It’s been a lot of trouble.”

“That one…?”

“Gold.”

Gold.

It was a title symbolizing the 4th grade of the school.

Lee Han was surprised to find that the senior at this school was locked in the next room.

‘What should I do for 4th grade… No, that’s not what I’m talking about.’

Lee Han completed a quick self-reflection.

It was not something Lee Han, who was caught trying to bounce, would say.

“What did you do to come to the punishment room? Did you even start a fight between the dorms?”

“no.”

“no? Then, did you steal things from your friends in the same tower?”

“no. I was caught trying to escape.”

I heard laughter from the next room.

“This freshman is very fast. It’s only been a week and you’re trying to escape. Did you go to Bonamana Mountain? Everyone goes to the mountains and gets caught a lot. I don’t know that there are walls there.”

“I didn’t go to the mountain.”

At Lee Han’s words, the student on the other side of the wall seemed surprised and fell silent for a moment.

“Did you go underground?”

“yes.”

“Great? Do you notice the basement? But there is a trap. Even if you touch one thing, an alarm goes off, and the storage keeper who guards the warehouse is a monster specializing in search skills. What did you catch?”

“It didn’t take.”

“…you didn’t catch it?”

“yes. I went outside through an underground passage. I went out and got caught.”

“……”

The 4th grader beyond the wall was astonished.

It was surprising to realize the existence of the underground passage in just one week, but he went out of the underground passage through the storage trap and the storage keeper’s search???

‘What is this child? Are you a freshman??’

“Wait. Then why were you arrested?”

“I was going out on a wagon, but the anti-magicalists of the Empire attacked and fought, so the principal caught me.”

“……”
