Chapter 1050

 

However, Professor Garcia, who had already entered a state of worry, couldn’t hear those words.

 

“Student Lee Han! Student Lee Han!”

 

‘She seems even more negative than me?’

 

It was slightly absurd to see someone who usually told the Skeleton Principal ‘Principal, you’re too negative and pessimistic and blah blah blah’ acting like this.

 

Following the long connected chain, Professor Garcia ran frantically. Thanks to using time acceleration magic, she couldn’t even see the surrounding scenery.

 

In contrast, the Skeleton Principal noticed the strangeness of this dungeon.

 

“…It’s a dragons’ dungeon!”

 

He realized it was completely different from ordinary dungeons – a dungeon that dragons used like a vegetable garden.

 

There was only one reason for such a thing to exist in the manor.

 

‘She made it secretly.’

 

Since Jowrin was also a dragon, she would have had the desire to secretly arrange her own lair.

 

The Skeleton Principal wasn’t particularly surprised or angry about that fact itself.

 

Seeing that other dragons had helped, she must have done well on her own…

 

‘…Isn’t the overprotection too excessive?’

 

Although Jowrin was a dragon with relatively slow mental growth, he wondered if there was a need for such overprotection.

 

No matter what, why would a dungeon have a common room and even a bathhouse?

 

Anyway, it would be the subordinates below who would enter the dragon’s dungeon.

 

Meanwhile, Professor Garcia discovered Lee Han’s group.

 

“Student Lee Han!!”

 

Gasp.

 

Jowrin, who had been digging at a corner of the dungeon with her front paws in case monsters might appear, was startled by the familiar voice from behind.

 

This voice is?

 

“Get away from him right now, you evil spirit!”

 

-!

 

While Jowrin was just startled and surprised, the water spirit next to Lee Han was truly terrified.

 

The aura emanating from the mage who always ranked first in Einroguard’s unofficial combat ranking votes made even the high water spirit fearful.

 

Bubble bubble-

 

While the water spirit bubbled in terror, Professor Garcia cast magic.

 

The space between Lee Han and the spirit expanded, and the spirit froze in place. It was because time had been momentarily stolen from it.

 

“Principal! Please finish off that evil spirit!”

 

“…Calm down first, Professor Garcia.”

 

The Skeleton Principal, who appeared belatedly, soothed his disciple as if bewildered.

 

No matter how he looked at it, that water spirit seemed to have done nothing wrong.

 

It appeared the dragons had ordered it to take care of this dungeon…

 

Wh-wh-what should I do? How should I handle this?

 

When both a professor and the principal appeared, Jowrin’s complexion turned pale.

 

Her ambitious plan to confine Lee Han in the manor for about 100 years had been completely exposed.

 

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty.”

 

!

 

At her reliable contractor’s words, Jowrin’s expression brightened again.

 

Lee Han…!

 

“I’ll be by your side when you get scolded.”

 

…Lee Han!

 

At the heartless words that he would watch her get scolded rather than help her, Jowrin made a tearful face.

 

That’s too much!

 

“You’ve had a hard time.”

 

-Th-thank you, Lord Marryongwan.

 

The Skeleton Principal released and soothed the spirit.

 

Then he looked at Lee Han.

 

“I clearly warned you, so why did you pathetically enter the manor and get kidnapped?”

 

“…”

 

For a moment, Lee Han wondered if he was the disciple or if the spirit was the disciple.

 

The person who was so kind to the spirit was now berating the disciple who had just been kidnapped.

 

“If you’re going to give a warning, you should do it properly! How was I supposed to understand that?”

 

“Did you perhaps boil and eat Beeble while I wasn’t looking? How can you be so shameless?”

 

Usually, the Skeleton Principal knew well that he was being unreasonable, but this time was different.

 

He had clearly…

 

-If you go visit her, she’ll hold onto you and not let you go until the vacation ends.

 

-Maybe she won’t let you go even after the vacation ends.

 

-Haha. Look at this dragon expert. Anyway, if you’re going to meet her, do everything else first. I clearly warned you.

 

…said exactly that.

 

This really wasn’t being spiteful but was definitely advice not to go.

 

“How could I have explained it in more detail than that?”

 

“…”

 

Lee Han changed the subject.

 

“Anyway, please remove these handcuffs.”

 

“You mean this dragon box? Wait. That’s not easy to remove, so it’ll take some time.”

 

“…!”

 

Lee Han was shocked.

 

At first he thought the Skeleton Principal was being spiteful, but he wasn’t. He was serious.

 

“What? There are things that even you, Principal, find difficult to remove?”

 

“Well, this is something the dragons made to imprison criminals forever, so of course. She managed to bring quite an item.”

 

“…”

 

-…

 

All beings present except the Skeleton Principal looked at Jowrin.

 

Jowrin hung her head low.

 

She had planned to return it later when Lee Han promised to stay at the manor…

 

“I understand, Your Majesty. I also promised His Majesty that I could abdicate once the Empire stabilized. Isn’t it all the same thing?”

 

The Skeleton Principal lightly moved his fingers and carved a magic circle on the handcuffs Lee Han was wearing.

 

These handcuffs called dragon box were a kind of living metal that changed by targeting the characteristics of criminals.

 

Metal that gained limited artificial life through the word-spirit infused with dragons’ power.

 

To neutralize and remove such a thing, even the Skeleton Principal had to employ considerable techniques.

 

“Mana dispersion? Dragons usually don’t prepare well for this kind of thing? Who added something like this?”

 

It wasn’t even for imprisoning another dragon, and such mana dispersion was meaningless.

 

Would there be any criminal to imprison who had near-infinite mana?

 

“You’re absolutely right.”

 

Lee Han feigned ignorance and pretended to be indignant together.

 

Weren’t dragons truly a thorough race?

 

The Skeleton Principal felt something suspicious but ignored it and finished drawing the magic circle.

 

This magic circle was drawn with ink that the Skeleton Principal had personally breathed life into. Given time, it would move on its own to complete a magic circle that would constrain the dragon box’s power.

 

“Now then…”

 

The Skeleton Principal turned around in a circle. Jowrin made a hiccupping sound.

 

“Ten years of house arrest, and only boring guests allowed to visit…”

 

No, that can’t be!

 

“Who told you to cause trouble, Your Majesty? My heart aches too, but it can’t be helped.”

 

The heartless Marryongwan coldly assigned penalty points and decided on punishment.

 

For a while, soft and cute guests wouldn’t be able to visit Jowrin’s manor. Only boring and uninteresting guests would be allowed to visit.

 

“Accumulate good deeds. Then I’ll reduce your sentence.”

 

…helping Einrogard students is also like good deeds…

 

Jowrin spoke while gauging the mood.

 

Seeing this, the Skeleton Principal felt anew that Jowrin had grown significantly mentally.

 

To pull such cunning tricks?

 

‘Come to think of it, there were signs from when she deceived both His Majesty and me at the same time.’

 

“I’m adding two hours a day of listening to Imperial praise songs.”

 

!!!!

 

Jowrin flapped her wings pleadingly, but the Skeleton Principal coldly ignored her.

 

“Isn’t that too harsh?”

 

“Even if I forgive her later, I must be strict when strictness is needed. Dragons need to learn somewhat harshly.”

 

After answering Lee Han’s whisper firmly, the Skeleton Principal looked around.

 

“But isn’t Penguerin here either?”

 

“Well, I wonder?”

 

Lee Han averted his gaze at exactly the same angle as his master.

 

“It can’t be helped. Wardanaz. The reason I sought you out is because I have something to say about Professor Boladi.”

 

At those words, Lee Han smiled bitterly.

 

Professor Garcia, who had been apologizing to the spirit nearby, saw that smile and asked curiously.

 

“What’s wrong, Student Lee Han? Do you have some idea?”

 

“Hah. Isn’t it obvious? You want me to immediately report if Professor Bagrek moves to send a letter to the Imperial Palace.”

 

Thwack!

 

The Skeleton Principal struck his cheeky disciple once with his staff.

 

“No.”

 

“…It’s not?”

 

Lee Han felt embarrassed. Professor Garcia also felt embarrassed. Honestly, she had thought that was the correct answer.

 

“Do you remember when we caught one of those Ksaksarigol creatures before?”

 

“Yes.”

 

The monster hunt from outside dimensions, where Alsicle and the capital explorers had accompanied them.

 

During the process of hunting that monster, all sorts of criminals from the Empire had appeared.

 

Mage criminals, worshippers of evil gods, separatists…

 

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a comprehensive gift set of criminals.

 

And what was caught then was an elf prophet from the Ksaksarigol cult.

 

That evil bastard who kept trying unpleasant slander, calling Lee Han a ‘monster that devours prophecy’!

 

“Huh? When did Student Lee Han get involved with the Ksaksarigol cult?”

 

Professor Garcia tilted her head.

 

Since Student Lee Han had been involved with so many evil and powerful beings in the Empire, she had almost carelessly overlooked it, but thinking about it, something seemed strange.

 

‘Anti-Magic Extremists, mage criminals, King of Ghouls, Frost Giant King, Prahgal cult… he’s never been involved with those Ksaksarigol madmen, has he?’

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

The Skeleton Principal and his top student exchanged very subtle and complex glances.

 

Saying that he had somehow ended up participating in tracking a monster from the dimensional void wouldn’t sound very good to Professor Garcia.

 

Both nodded their heads slightly at the same time.

 

“There was that time before. Right. Professor. That time I mentioned. It was totally Ksaksarigol.”

 

“That’s right. Right.”

 

“????”

 

While Professor Garcia fell into confusion, checking if there was some memory she had missed, the Skeleton Principal quickly advanced the conversation.

 

“Anyway, we interrogated that self-proclaimed prophet bastard and extracted more information… among which something related to Professor Boladi came up.”

 

The Skeleton Principal seemed reluctant to specify what kind of problem it was.

 

Lee Han noticed this mood and spoke carefully.

 

“If it’s something I shouldn’t hear, just tell me what I need to do.”

 

“But Principal. In Student Lee Han’s case, he’s already doing sufficiently dangerous work, so hiding information won’t make it less dangerous. Wouldn’t it just have the opposite effect?”

 

“That’s true too. It would be better to just tell him everything.”

 

The Skeleton Principal immediately accepted Professor Garcia’s words. Lee Han made a disgruntled expression.

 

“…”

 

Of course, it was better to hear everything from the beginning rather than having information hidden and being surprised later…

 

…but what was this disgruntled and uneasy feeling?

 

“There’s a type that Professor Boladi dislikes on the continent.”

 

“?”

 

Lee Han was puzzled by the unexpected beginning.

 

A type that Professor Boladi dislikes.

 

…weren’t there too many?

 

‘Criminals, beaver beastmen, Anti-Magic Extremists, Professor Verdus, mage criminals, Einrogard enchantment magic school representatives…’

 

As if reading Lee Han’s thoughts, the Skeleton Principal spoke irritably.

 

“Not just any type he dislikes, but a type he especially dislikes. For reference, I’m not talking about Professor Beeble either.”

 

“!”

 

Not Professor Verdus either.

 

He couldn’t guess at all.

 

Looking to the side, Professor Garcia was also listening with a very serious expression.

 

“It’s an evil god cult that fell long ago and whose name disappeared… but that madman was babbling that they seem to have been revived.”

 

“I-I see…”

 

Lee Han straightened his posture and nodded.

 

Now he could guess what the Skeleton Principal was trying to say.

 

“I understand. You want me to stop Professor Bagrek if he secretly goes to subjugate them.”

 

Emotions like anger or obsession were fatal to mages.

 

Moreover, Professor Boladi, who enjoyed combat alone without separate support, could become even more precarious.

 

“What do you mean stop him? Don’t act presumptuously and get beaten up, just quietly report. Professor Boladi isn’t someone who won’t beat up his disciple.”

 

“…”

 

The Skeleton Principal was very realistic.

 

Since trying to stop him would only have the opposite effect, secretly monitoring from behind was a more reasonable method.

 

If something felt off or strange, he had to report immediately to help his former disciple.

 

“Still, I’m about half of the Professor’s disciples…”

 

When Lee Han grumbled, Professor Garcia quietly said.

 

“Student Lee Han. Don’t try to stop him, just quietly report.”

 

“…Yes…”
