Lee Han suppressed his desire to live as much as possible and asked with restraint.
âWhat do you mean?â
â?â
Professor Boladi had doubts about his smart studentâs question.
There was nothing in what I just said, âIâm worried youâre overdoing it,â that I couldnât understand.
âDid you get your ear hurt by an alter ego?â
ââ¦Oh no. My ears are fine. So, you were worried that Eandurde was overdoing it?â
âright.â
âuh. âIsnât it Einrogardâs way to push a student even if he or she is pushing a little too hard?â
Lee Han was about to say it was the âbagleg methodâ, but he held back because it felt like his true feelings were being revealed too blatantly.
Professor Boladi thought for a moment and briefly shook his head before answering.
âThat is Einrogardâs way, not mine.â
ââ¦Is it possible that the professorâs method is to carefully control the student so that he or she does not overdo it?â
âokay.â
The professor looked with faint pride at Lee Han, who was showing the insight of his first student.
âIâm being sarcasticâ¦â
Lee Han told Professor Boladi not to use irony.
âAnyway, I canât believe it. âEven a hundred people can become Buddha if they throw away their swords, but can Professor Bagrek also change?â
Certainly, the special situation of a 100% increase in the number of students could shake up even a decent professor.
I didnât think Professor Boladi would ever get into a decent professorship, but⦠he
doesnât know how people work. The 100% increase in the number of students may have melted Professor Boladiâs frozen heart.
âI shouldnât think like this, but itâs really unfair.â
Ihan tried to get rid of his evil thoughts as he watched Eandurde groaning.
When I was a freshman, my friends and I asked, âWhy are the seniors trying to bully the juniors? Didnât he lament, âThey are truly evil people?â
Lee Han himself should not have become such a senior. I had to be happy if the educational situation of my juniors improved.
But the resentment did not go away easily.
âYou could have thought of that when you had your first discipleâ¦â
âTrue. âAre there any other students here?â
âokay.â
âIs that true? Canât you see it? ah. âDid you go first after the lecture ended?â
âI ran away.â
ââ¦â¦â
Then isnât it just like he didnât come?
Lee Han gave up trying to say that. Even if I said it, my mouth would only hurt.
âThen there are two people in total. âI donât think any of my seniors would suddenly go crazy and come to listen.â
It was easy to calculate how many students the Bagrek School had. I only had to fold my fingers twice.
âAnyway, itâs fascinating. âI never thought Eandurde would listen to this lecture.â
Meanwhile, Eandurde, who had once again fallen backwards, wiped his nosebleed with his sleeve and answered.
âI heard that my senior is listening.â
âah. okay?â
Lee Han felt slightly sorry.
And then I had a doubt.
âfor a moment. To whom?â
Eandurde looked at Professor Boladi. Professor Boladi nodded.
And Lee Han was astonished.
âSuch a ridiculous fraudâ¦!â
If you think about it that way, is there a lecture that Lee Han doesnât listen to?
You canât believe Lee Han is taking advantage of the fact that he is attending a previous school to punish an innocent first year student in his lecture. This was such a cowardly thing to do.
ââ¦Eandurde. I also take a lot of other lectures. âDid you find out about that?â
Eandurde answered, shaking his head up and down as if he knew.
âBecause youâre not Professor Reji.â
It was Eandurde who entered the school of transformation magic and immediately picked it after hearing that Lee Han was learning it.
Lee Han said with a confused face.
âProfessor Garcia, Professor Mortum, Professor Millais, Professor Craer, Professor Lagrinde, Verdus⦠No. Forget what just happened. Anyway, havenât you visited the professors you just mentioned?â
â????â
Eandurde could not understand the name of so many professors and tilted his head.
Itâs not like Iâm listening to all of these professorsâ lectures, so why ask this question?
* * *
âReduce horsepower a little more. okay. good job.â
Unable to overcome his guilty conscience, Lee Han set out to help Eandurde with his training.
Eandurde was very happy when the marble made a circle instead of rushing towards him.
âIt moves well!â
âno. I just stopped it with telekinesis. Try it again. âI need to draw the curve a little more smoothly.â
âhow?â
âhmm. So⦠concentrate and draw a line here?â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Eandurde and Professor Boladi stared at Ihan.
Fortunately, neither of them said anything. Lee Han said, feeling ashamed.
ââ¦sorry. âThat was so unhelpful.â
âItâs okay.â
Rather, Eandurde comforted Ihan as if he was okay. Professor Boladi also added a word of support.
âTalented wizards are usually bad at explaining things.â
âThe professor is good at explaining things.â
â???â
Lee Hanâs eyes widened at Eandurdeâs words.
It hasnât even been a semester since my junior entered school, but I canât believe heâs already learned this much flattery.
âOnce I finish the first year, I will be able to become an imperial ambassador!â
Professor Boladi responded with a faint smile, perhaps moved by his juniorâs flattery.
âThank you.â
Lee Han quickly ended the conversation because he felt like he would faint from anger if he continued to watch.
âEandurde. This is enough for today. âItâs good to practice magic, but if you focus too much on it, you may experience magical exhaustion or rebound.â
âBut I heard that you continued.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han wondered if he should send a petition to the skeleton principal.
âArenât you using me to guide Eandurde into training until he is destroyed?â
If so, Professor Boladi could be said to be the second most evil professor in Einrogard.
âno. Professor Bagrek would not use such a cunning and complicated plan. Even if the number of students increased by 100%, would it really change that much?â
âThatâs because I have a lot of magical power.â
âHeâs more talented than you.â
âprofessor. âPlease be quiet.â
Lee Han wished that Professor Boladi would just shut up. Eandurde was in tears from disappointment.
Letâs comfort that nowâ¦!
âTalent is a very abstract thing, so donât worry too much about it. âYou never know which part of the magic will shine.â
âBut you listen to all schoolsâ¦â
âI donât know what youâre talking about. What I want to say is, Eandurde, you are doing well enough. Professor Bagrek also agrees. Yes?â
Professor Boladi nodded.
Eandurde was clearly doing well enough now that there was no need to push himself further.
âokay. So now letâs go back and rest. âAre you eating well?â
âIâm having a good meal!â
âuh. okay? âIs it because itâs the Black Turtle Tower?â
Compared to other towers, new students at Black Turtle Tower were quick to adapt.
âIâm taking it from other tower enemies.â
ââ¦Take some of this. âIf itâs okay, please share some with your other top friends.â
Lee Han gave Eandurde a bundle of food and sent him back, then sighed.
Apparently, Lee Hanâs first-year juniors were enduring a harsher environment.
âprofessor. Why do you keep telling my story to Eandurdeâ¦?â
When Eandurde disappeared, Lee Han could not stand it anymore and argued. I just couldnât get over this.
âHe asked a question.â
âah.â
Lee Han was immediately convinced.
When I thought about it, Eandurde could have kept asking instead of Professor Boladi speaking first.
âWhy didnât I think of this possibility?â
I just thought that Professor Boladi had secretly leaked information about Lee Han and pushed Eandurde. No other possibility came to mind at all.
Even if Lee Han thought about it, it was an amazing thing.
âAre you feeling okay?â
âyes. itâs okay. The difficulty level of the lectures has increased, but it hasnât really gotten to the point yetâ¦â
âI canât believe youâve become so kind just because the number of students has increased by 100%. If it increases by 200%, youâll start cooking your own food.â
âI wasnât talking about a lecture, but an alter ego. âI thought you had a hearing problem earlier.â
âah. Thatâs not it. And the alter egoâ¦â
As Lee Han was talking, a thought suddenly occurred to him and he immediately reported to Antagondals.
Although they were classmates in the same crazy cell, there was no need to maintain loyalty now that their paths had changed.
âThe country must survive too.â
âindeed.â
Professor Boladi heard Lee Hanâs accusation with a serious expression.
A magical criminal who has become a slave to his crazy alter ego is approaching in desperation.
âItâs a dangerous situation. âYouâd better not wander around carelessly.â
âIâm keeping that in mind too.â
Lee Han had no intention of ever going to the mountains of Einrogard territory or any place away from the main building.
Because if I went there one more time, I might never come out again.
âThe stronger magic isâ¦â
â!â
Professor Boladiâs words made Lee Han feel sorry to himself.
When I think about it, I was so focused on defeating Antagondals that I didnât expect this.
The arrow could come back to Lee Han himself.
ââ¦refrain from training for a while. âThe magic I just completed was too much.â
â!!!â
Lee Han was truly surprised by the unexpected words.
âEandurde⦠amazing!â
I never thought the effect of a new disciple would be this great.
Professor Boladi, who had no idea what rude thoughts Lee Han was thinking, continued his conversation calmly.
âPrioritize refining existing magic.â
âWardanazâs Telekinesis,â which Lee Han has now completed, was originally a magic that was difficult to master.
A spell that was barely completed despite death threats from a crazy archmage.
If he hadnât been so lucky, the wizard might have gone crazy or accidentally attacked himself.
It was a method that was difficult for Professor Boladi to tolerate, as he always presented only controllable risks in safe situations.
As a talented student, I may want to try this method again now that I have tasted success, butâ¦
âI canât do that.â
Professor Boladi intended to strictly restrain himself.
A wizard must control his magic and not be burned to death by it.
âWow. âI canât help it since the professor says so.â
Lee Han felt pitifully sad.
As far as refining what I have learned so far, Professor Boladiâs lecture was a comfortable and happy one.
ââ¦no. Now that I think about it, I probably wonât be comfortable and happy.â
When I thought about it again, everything I had learned so far was so difficult that I didnât think I would be comfortable or happy.
Just finishing and refining what youâve learned will be quite difficult and arduousâ¦
but it was much easier than risking your life to overcome a new level of difficulty every time.
Lee Han was grateful to Eandurde in his heart.
âthanks. Junior.â
âThen I will continue to practice what I learned.â
âokay.â
Lee Han, who was preparing to finish the magic celebration slowly, opened his mouth when something occurred to him.
âBy the way, Professor. âProfessor, you will prepare Eandurdeâs next lecture yourself, right?â
Professor Boladi nodded.
Unlike other professors who had many students to teach, Professor Boladi was a true professor who always prepared his lectures by himself.
âfor a moment. Thenâ¦â
Lee Han recalled Professor Boladi attacking him by throwing marbles at him.
Eandurde didnât show up today because he was just practicing spinning the marble, but it wouldnât be surprising if he started soon.
ââ¦Iâd like to help you too, Professor.â
â!â
Seeing Lee Han volunteer, Professor Boladi realized once again that this student was also interested in teaching.
It seemed that what the skeleton principal had said before was definitely correct.
