Chapter 1062

 

But that’s not my fault.

 

Despite recalling this, the Skeleton Principal was very confident.

 

If there was a prior arrangement and he wanted to use him as a magic slave during vacation, he should have taken him away with his own skills first.

 

Having done such things under Professor Verdus himself, it didn’t make sense to complain about being on the receiving end now.

 

“Magic slave?”

 

Boy. It’s a metaphor.

 

“…”

 

This time, Lee Han also glared at the Skeleton Principal.

 

After all the effort to fill Einroguard’s empty coffers?

 

“No. Principal. You brought him out even though he had a prior arrangement with Student Yukveltire??”

 

When Professor Garcia spoke up in bewilderment, the 5th year senior’s eyes sparkled with hope.

 

Fortunately, there was one mage here with proper sense.

 

Yes. But Professor Garcia. If I may dare to defend myself, Yukveltire is no different. Last year she attempted to kidnap a professor, and the year before that she tried to kidnap a friend. If you swing a sword, you should be prepared to get hit, shouldn’t you.

 

“…”

 

Unfortunately, Professor Garcia was immediately refuted.

 

It was because Yukveltire’s past caught up with her.

 

Did she really make the arrangement with Wardanaz normally? Didn’t she abuse her senior authority to be mean?

 

“Gasp.”

 

“Ah, no. That’s not the case.”

 

When Professor Garcia looked at him with a ‘surely not’ expression, Lee Han answered in panic.

 

Of course, Yukveltire was an annoying person, but at least this time he wasn’t threatened with authority.

 

Don’t listen to him. Professor Garcia. That Wardanaz boy became a disciple even after being kidnapped last time. He can’t make normal judgments if it means he can learn magic.

 

“That was the Principal’s doppelganger…”

 

Lee Han protested in disbelief, but Professor Garcia had already almost been swayed.

 

Yukveltire’s fingertips trembled with anger toward the Skeleton Principal, sensing complete defeat.

 

‘Later, an archmage who hates the Skeleton Principal suspiciously much will be born.’

 

Even without using divination magic, he could somehow see the future. Lee Han spoke to appease his senior.

 

“I’m roughly done with what I was doing. I’ll help with your research.”

 

“But the lost time can’t be made up.”

 

“Would you like to do it for the remaining vacation, or would you rather just get lo… leave?”

 

Yukveltire thought for a moment, then answered.

 

“It would be better to do it for the remaining vacation.”

 

“As expected, you’re wise, senior.”

 

While Lee Han praised his senior, Professor Garcia quietly approached Alsicle.

 

Alsicle said angrily.

 

“Leaving a person behind!”

 

“Shh! Now’s not the time for that.”

 

“Such shallow tricks won’t fool me…”

 

Alsicle was even more enraged by the typical Einroguard method.

 

Mages from Einroguard were excellent at all sorts of scheming. One of them was the trick of making a fuss as if something big was happening to deceive people.

 

-Ah! Lord Penguerin. That mage over there seems to be poisoned by gargoyle flames! Please give emergency treatment!

 

-I, I understand!

 

-Got it! Penguerin is hooked! We’ll meet that patron first! Run!

 

-…These bastards!

 

Having been fooled by graduates several times already, such tricks only fueled Alsicle’s anger.

 

No. It really isn’t the time for that. You need to worry about something more important.

 

“?!”

 

When even the Skeleton Principal spoke seriously, Alsicle hesitated.

 

Gonadaltes was a great archmage, and no matter how relatively friendly Alsicle was with him, that reverence hadn’t faded.

 

Alsicle held back his anger and asked for now.

 

“Why is that?”

 

Professor Boladi is convinced about what happened during the last expedition and is trying to hold you responsible. Well then.

 

Pop-!

 

The Skeleton Principal disappeared immediately, not wanting to be caught by Alsicle.

 

Professor Garcia floundered alone and said.

 

“It, it’ll be fine anyway! Just don’t wander around alone!”

 

“…I should have just stayed in Petrograd…”

 

Alsicle deeply regretted it.

 

What glory was I trying to see by coming back here!

 

* * *

 

“Wow! It’s Alsicle!”

 

“Eek!”

 

Alsicle’s ordeal was still not over.

 

Trudging into the villa and climbing the central staircase, Alsicle spotted a girl with golden eyes he had seen a few times before and was horrified.

 

Why is Prince Jowurin here?

 

“Alsicle! Wyvern play! Let’s play wyvern! Where are you going! Play with Jowrin!”

 

“Wardanaz! Wardanaz! Help me!”

 

Looking for Lee Han, the contractor who could at least stop this dragon, Alsicle flapped his wings frantically.

 

Watching Alsicle cover the stairs with ice to make a shortcut and slide down, the 2nd year students were impressed.

 

“That’s amazing magic.”

 

“It’s even cute!”

 

Alsicle barely managed to find Lee Han on the first floor. Wardanaz was gathered with other friends, chatting.

 

“Wardanaz! His Majesty is trying to kill me!”

 

“Huh? It’s not that bad. What’s with the fuss…”

 

Lee Han also knew what wyvern play was.

 

It was a game where you throw Alsicle up and Alsicle flaps around like a wyvern.

 

“Don’t you know that controlling strength is harder in human form than dragon form? Do you want to see me get smashed into the ceiling? And if I get smashed like that, Voladi Bagrec will come right away to stab me.”

 

“…”

 

Instead of saying ‘Oh, it’s not that bad,’ Lee Han made a seriously contemplative expression.

 

At that reaction, Alsicle became even more frightened.

 

“You should say it’s not true. Why are you acting like that?”

 

“It does seem like you should be careful of Professor Bagrek…”

 

“…I’m staying here for a bit.”

 

When Alsicle squeezed in and sat down, the 2nd year students said firmly.

 

“Don’t touch the loot.”

 

“Loot?”

 

“Wardanaz raided a thieves’ fortress and brought back loot. We’re auctioning it now.”

 

“…What on earth happened in the meantime???”

 

Although he had wasted quite some time in Petrograd, he never thought there would be so many changes.

 

What on earth happened in the meantime?

 

“Lord Alsicle. Could you close the drawing room door?”

 

“Ah. Is there a reason it needs to be done in a quiet place?”

 

Alsicle got up wobbling. However, Lee Han shook his head and said.

 

“I’m concerned about senior’s gaze.”

 

“…”

 

Only then did Alsicle notice Yukveltire standing blankly outside the door.

 

It was a tenacious obsession to take his junior and dive into research immediately after the auction ended, without wasting even a single second.

 

Adenart hung her head low in embarrassment. She wished everyone would forget they were sisters.

 

“C-can’t you just come inside and wait?”

 

“We don’t want to do that.”

 

“Honestly, senior makes us uncomfortable.”

 

‘Cold bastards.’

 

Alsicle shuddered at the 2nd year students’ cold reaction.

 

Though Alsicle specialized in ice magic, compared to the reaction of these Einroguard 2nd year students, the ice he wielded felt warm by comparison.

 

“You’ll change your minds once you hear this. Now. Listen.”

 

Alsicle began explaining Yukveltire’s journey.

 

First, when Yukveltire realized her perfect vacation research plan had been ruined because of the Skeleton Principal, she reacted calmly despite the shock.

 

-Oh no! Yukveltire! To think your magic would be hindered by such an evil archmage. Let me become your attendant and help you instead!

 

Though her friend volunteered, Yukveltire declined. This wasn’t something a friend could help with.

 

“…Wait. Wait. This is strange from the start.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Isn’t that friend Senior Diret? Senior Diret would never say something like that…”

 

If it was the Diret that Lee Han knew, he would definitely say this instead:

 

-What can you do about it? I can’t help during vacation. Go complain to the Principal.

 

“Really? Anyway, that’s what I heard.”

 

Alsicle shrugged his shoulders. Lee Han had no choice but to listen despite the blatant and shameless distortion.

 

‘What a truly despicable person. Making such distortions just because he’s not here.’

 

Anyway, after shaking off her persistent friend, Yukveltire arrived late in the capital.

 

Since Lee Han had departed a week earlier, no matter how fast she flew, there was bound to be a time difference.

 

“But as we know, we went to Petrograd.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Petrograd was better than expected. Though there were many annoying guys.”

 

The friends who were listening opened their mouths and chimed in.

 

The experience of visiting Petrograd had been quite a shock for these Einroguard students as well.

 

“That’s fortunate. From what the Petrograd mages were saying, it seems like the exchange meeting will happen. If Einroguard and Petrograd do it together… the Pitah Festival, I think.”

 

Alsicle recalled the old name while searching his memory.

 

The exchange meetings between the Empire’s magic schools each had their own names.

 

When two schools did it together, when three schools did it together, and so on…

 

The name of the competition held between Einroguard and Petrograd was definitely the 【Pitah Festival】.

 

Lee Han, suddenly curious, asked.

 

“Have Einroguard and Callarogard ever held an exchange meeting together?”

 

“Yes. Walpurgis Night.”

 

“What about Einroguard and Baldrogard?”

 

“Uh… it was definitely the Imperial Magic School Friendship Exchange Meeting.”

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

When a suddenly bureaucratic and cold name came up, the students were flustered.

 

Lee Han regretted asking for no reason.

 

“Anyway, the Imperial Princess arrived late at Petrograd.”

 

Surprisingly, Yukveltire was already acquainted with the Petrograd mages.

 

Come to think of it, considering her grade level and skills, it would have been stranger if she had no connections.

 

“So she talked to them and then chased after us?”

 

“No. The Petrograd mages made a fuss telling her to get lost. As you know, the relationship between Einroguard’s enchantment magic school and Petrograd isn’t exactly good.”

 

“…”

 

We don’t know that!?

 

Lee Han was dumbfounded, but unfortunately there was no one to explain.

 

“Since a commotion was breaking out, I went out and stopped it. We reconciled with each other, shared magic stories, and showed artifacts.”

 

Alsicle’s excellent magic, outstanding career, and cute appearance were superb at calming people down.

 

When Alsicle stepped in to mediate, the Petrograd mages put down their old grudges and allowed Yukveltire entry.

 

Yukveltire also praised the Petrograd mages’ artifacts.

 

“Oh.”

 

“So the Imperial Princess asked where you were, and they answered that you had left first.”

 

Lee Han suddenly felt an ominous feeling.

 

It had been a heartwarming atmosphere, so why was he feeling ominous?

 

“What happened?”

 

“She immediately pointed out that the Petrograd mages’ artifacts were trash…”

 

“I didn’t point that out.”

 

A senior standing outside, whose face couldn’t be seen, retorted. Alsicle ignored her and continued.

 

“She did point it out. Actually, calling it pointing out is generous – it was closer to outright criticism.”

 

Thinking this wouldn’t do, Alsicle quickly escaped with Yukveltire.

 

Nothing good would come from a fight breaking out in enemy territory.

 

“…Uh, but Alsicle. From what I heard, it seems like you only suffered, yet you’re still taking senior’s side?”

 

“I suddenly felt sorry for her when I thought about how someone abandoned me.”

 

“…Senior Yukveltire! Please come inside!”

 

Lee Han quickly opened the door and changed the subject.

 

* * *

 

“So what do we need to do?”

 

“What we’ll challenge this week is the fusion of these two magics.”

 

Yukveltire spread dozens of magic circle blueprints on the table and began explaining.

 

Perhaps it was his imagination, but her eyes seemed to be glowing slightly.

 

“Fusing these two magics is by no means easy, so you’d better prepare yourself. Specifically, you should put aside all bounty hunting and other activities…”

 

Lee Han half-listened and then grabbed the important blueprints.

 

“Wait a moment. I’ll just go ask about something quickly.”

 

“Sto…”

 

Yukveltire panicked, thinking her wicked junior was attempting the wicked escape technique he learned from the wicked Skeleton Principal.

 

However, unexpectedly, Lee Han returned before long.

 

“I’ve brought newly drawn magic circles. They said there were some mistakes in the existing magic circles.”

 

“…?!!!”
