Chapter 1084

 

‘What a crazy tyrant.’

 

He had never heard of such an evil king. It was incomprehensible why there hadn’t been a rebellion in the Yachaowang’s dimension.

 

-Why do you deny the king’s wisdom? Even the most violent beings from other dimensions don’t deny the king’s wisdom.

 

Apazrakon couldn’t understand Lee Han’s reaction.

 

The Yachaowang was a powerful figure respected across multiple dimensions. Even demon dukes respected this king’s wisdom.

 

But why?

 

-You’re being deceived!

 

Lee Han said firmly.

 

No matter how renowned a sage from other dimensions might be, Lee Han had absolutely no intention of acknowledging The Other Person.

 

-You mustn’t be fooled by his words. He’s an extremely cunning being.

 

-Amazing. That’s a very fresh opinion I’ve never considered before.

 

The angel listened carefully to Lee Han’s words.

 

Since the Yachaowang had told him to go and learn, there was no reason not to listen to The Other Person’s words.

 

Such a unique and radical opinion!

 

Was this the dignity of one who walked ahead on the path of ancient mages?

 

-Can you teach me more? I will engrave it deep in my soul and follow it.

 

-Don’t trust the Yachaowang, and don’t trust that ancient mage either…

 

Lee Han, who had been speaking rapidly due to anger, paused.

 

But was this right?

 

‘Wait a minute.’

 

Thinking about it, The Other Person seemed quite desperate.

 

While Lee Han didn’t know much about angels, he basically knew that these celestial beings lived in seclusion without leaving their own domain.

 

If such a race had come out and was wandering around like this, wouldn’t they be truly desperate?

 

Should he speak so emotionally to someone who was trying to remember every single word of Lee Han’s advice and take it seriously?

 

-…Come to think of it, you probably don’t need to follow my words.

 

-Why is that?

 

The angel, who had been planning to remember all the advice and follow every bit of it, was puzzled.

 

-I’m not a mage at a level to give teachings. …Just don’t follow my words! That’s my advice.

 

-Indeed.

 

Apazrakon was definitely a powerful angel.

 

Despite the mage’s incomprehensible words, he recognized the profound mystery hidden within.

 

‘Is he telling me not to rely on words but to learn from actions?’

 

Transmission through language was bound to be easily corrupted and distorted.

 

That mage must have said that out of such concern.

 

-I understand. I’ll learn on my own.

 

-That’s fortunate.

 

-Originally, before meeting the king, I was practicing by capturing and confining demons.

 

-…

 

Lee Han wanted to ask where exactly he had seen and copied such practice, but was too afraid to do so.

 

-I was planning to fulfill the number of demons I had sworn to capture in advance and then seek out the ancient mage’s disciple, but I ended up meeting you first like this. This too might be a revelation.

 

-I think it’s just because there are few demons like Orlagh on the continent.

 

Apazrakon ignored this and continued speaking.

 

This was because the mage had just said there was no need to follow his words.

 

-That was all I had to convey. Please take care of me in the future as well.

 

-Sure…

 

With those words, the angel withdrew the spirit realm he had locally manifested. Then the vision of burning souls disappeared and the awkwardly created human flesh reappeared.

 

Pop!

 

Having conveyed everything he needed to say, Apazrakon transformed back into a bird and flew away.

 

Lee Han, who had been watching this in a daze, belatedly realized something strange.

 

“Wait, what do you mean ‘please take care of me in the future’?! What does that mean?!”

 

Of course, no matter how much he shouted, the angel who had flown far away didn’t return.

 

Diret was startled when the angel suddenly flew away and her junior urgently shouted, so she asked.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“Well…”

 

Lee Han appealed about the evil tyrant’s conspiracy in a slightly choked voice.

 

How many times had that bastard from another dimension tormented him!

 

“…”

 

Diret’s expression changed strangely as she listened to the story.

 

‘…How does this kid attract beings from other dimensions like this?’

 

She couldn’t say it because he would probably cry if she told him, but it really seemed like he was born with such a destiny.

 

“When he said ‘please take care of me in the future,’ it’s probably just a greeting among celestials, right?”

 

Lee Han made an expression that said ‘please tell me it’s just a greeting.’

 

Since he was still disguised as Stedal Nago, it was quite a frightening expression.

 

Diret wanted to agree with him, but she couldn’t. She slowly shook her head.

 

“I don’t think so.”

 

“…”

 

“It sounds like he’s going to follow you around.”

 

The angel Apazrakon had strong obsession like other angels.

 

It didn’t seem like such an angel would be satisfied and leave after just hearing the advice ‘don’t follow my words.’

 

Seeing him say things like ‘I’ll learn on my own’ and ‘please take care of me in the future,’ it seemed like he was just planning to follow her junior around and learn by watching his actions…

 

“…”

 

Stedal Nago became greatly dejected. He probably wouldn’t have been this dejected even when captured by pirates.

 

Diret spoke urgently to comfort him.

 

“B-but we don’t know how he plans to follow you around. It could be that he does his own work and comes to find you when the time is right.”

 

“That’s still really unpleasant though.”

 

Lee Han was disgusted.

 

It was better than following him around every day, but it was still terrible.

 

Frankly speaking, how was this different from Professor Verdus?

 

‘No. That was too rude a thought.’

 

Lee Han immediately felt remorseful.

 

The angel was just going to follow around and learn, so how could that be the same as Professor Verdus?

 

“Should we try sending another message? Wait. Where did Senior Yukveltire go?”

 

“She kept insisting that you were plotting evil schemes to betray me and that she needed to spy on the spirit realm, so I told her to get lost downstairs.”

 

“…I’m sorry.”

 

Lee Han felt sorry because it seemed like their friendship had been damaged due to Stedal Nago’s identity.

 

However, Diret shook her head.

 

“Junior, never apologize for things you don’t need to be sorry about. And the Stedal Nago identity seems well-made. Did you see Yukveltire struggling?”

 

“It’s definitely convenient when attacking, plundering, or stealing from someone.”

 

Diret decided to pretend she hadn’t heard what she just heard.

 

A little later.

 

They called Yukveltire back and sent a message to the angel, but this time there was no reply.

 

‘…He’s not ignoring me because I said he doesn’t need to follow my words, is he…’

 

With an uneasy feeling, Lee Han kept looking around.

 

The uncomfortable feeling that there might be a disguised angel somewhere among the crowds filling the main roads of the Imperial Capital wouldn’t go away.

 

“Let’s go back for now. We need to go and divide the reward with the kids.”

 

Diret pushed the large battle mage and her friend toward the manor. Yukveltire tilted her head.

 

“Divide the reward?”

 

“?”

 

Lee Han felt puzzled by his senior’s reaction instead.

 

Then we should split the reward, what else are we supposed to do?

 

‘Would it be okay to pick a fight with this?’

 

In the Empire, there are commissions, and when you complete these commissions, you get rewards. You might not know this well, but it’s customary for participants to share these rewards among themselves…

 

It was something he came up with on the spot, but it was decent mockery. Lee Han felt slightly proud.

 

‘…No…’

 

However, Diret stopped him with his eyes, telling him not to.

 

Provoking Yukveltire would do no good.

 

“Why. We should split the reward.”

 

“You’re saying the Black Magic School students should also get a share.”

 

“That’s right…”

 

“Diret. Let me explain why the Black Magic School students don’t deserve to receive rewards from this commission.”

 

‘Damn it.’

 

Diret cursed inwardly.

 

The outcome is the same even without provoking her!

 

‘Senior.’

 

His junior sent him another look. Thinking he was going to pick a fight again like before, Diret glanced at him.

 

‘I don’t want to listen to this, so should we just run away?’

 

We probably won’t need to contact the angel anymore anyway, so it doesn’t matter, right?

 

‘…That’s a very good idea.’

 

So the two of them did just that.

 

* * *

 

“Huff, huff huff. I negotiated well with the angel and wrapped up the discussion. We can take the demon. Done!”

 

“Th-thank you for your hard work. But why… why are you so out of breath? It’s like you ran here at full speed…?”

 

The Black Magic School students were puzzled by Diret’s panting appearance.

 

“Didn’t you fight the angel?”

 

Everyone stirred at Cohorti’s observation.

 

“Senior, did you really fight the angel…”

 

“I didn’t fight.”

 

Diret denied it, but Cohorti sharply pointed out again.

 

“Diret might be acting like that to not worry you guys.”

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

When Diret and Stedal simultaneously stared at him blankly, Cohorti quietly shut his mouth.

 

I guess that’s not it!

 

-Sob sob. Thank you. For driving away that angel bastard.

 

Orlagh spoke with a moved voice from the side.

 

He was glad he had trusted the Wardanaz Family. There were few existences as reliable as this family in such disputes.

 

-I will serve you with utmost loyalty from now on!

 

“Ah. About that.”

 

Lee Han hesitated slightly.

 

Come to think of it, he hadn’t fully explained the situation to the demon yet.

 

“You’re not my demon.”

 

-What?

 

“So strictly speaking, you’ll become a demon who helps all the dark mages here from now on…”

 

-…

 

The demon’s face, which had been moved and joyful, hardened like stone.

 

What kind of nonsense was that?

 

-Aren’t dark mages those who are so poor they can’t even scrape together blood porridge? You’re sending me to such a miserable place??

 

‘This bastard.’

 

Lee Han got slightly angry.

 

We do eat blood porridge!

 

Not knowing that he had thoroughly irritated the Wardanaz Family young master, Orlagh desperately flattered him.

 

-Please take me as your direct servant! I will compose and offer beautiful praise poems every dawn and dusk!

 

Orlagh was confident in the conditions he had proposed.

 

Since it was a tribute that both the Duke and Arsil had been satisfied with, this young master would surely be tempted too.

 

Of course, Lee Han immediately ignored it.

 

“I don’t need it. Either make a contract or call the angel back. One of the two.”

 

-Wahhh!

 

Orlagh cried pitifully. Even the other students felt a bit sorry.

 

“Do you dislike our school that much?”

 

“Still, Einroguard’s Black Magic School should be better than other dark mages…”

 

Regardless, Stedal Nago mercilessly squeezed Orlagh. It was truly an attitude befitting a fierce battle mage.

 

Orlagh, who had been crying sadly, eventually couldn’t overcome the pressure and agreed.

 

-Sob sob…

 

Having gotten what he wanted, Lee Han spoke consolingly.

 

“Still, Einroguard’s Black Magic School is better than other dark mages.”

 

-They’re still dark mages though…

 

“…It’s better, you bastard.”

 

Lee Han couldn’t hold back and grabbed Orlagh by the collar. The demon panicked and screamed.

 

-I was wrong! I was wrong!

 

“Ca-calm down, Nago sir! Why are you doing this!”

 

“This demon bastard keeps insulting the Black Magic School!”

 

“!”

 

Cohorti was moved once again.

 

How can someone be so broad-minded?

 

“…”

 

Diret lowered his head. He couldn’t watch his friend’s stupid behavior any longer. He felt embarrassed himself.
