Chapter 1131

No matter how worried he was, putting a bounty on a fellow school professor wasn’t a wise choice.

He couldn’t even imagine how furious the imperial officials would be when they later discovered the truth.

“Then how about asking Prince Jowurin for help?”

“This isn’t a matter for the Imperial Family…!”

Professor Garcia shuddered.

He had actually thought his disciple was making somewhat self-deprecating jokes, but now it seemed quite serious.

If he didn’t stop him firmly right now, he might even arrange a private audience with the Emperor to place a bounty.

“Student Lee Han. Putting a bounty on Professor Bagrek wouldn’t be effective anyway. You might just end up helping the enemy instead.”

“That’s right, Wardanaz. And what would the bounty hunters have done wrong?”

Professor Kirmin’s words certainly made Lee Han reflect.

What crime would the bounty hunters commit if they tried to catch Professor Boladi with pure hearts only to meet disaster?

“Sigh…”

-…

Apazrakon stood there blankly before opening his mouth.

-Can I go back no…

“This is all because of you!”

At Lee Han’s growling appearance, the Death Knights and Ibinta breathed sighs of relief.

When multiple people caused trouble, the most important thing was to act slightly more perceptive than the others.

Fortunately, this angel seemed to have no sense of reading the room at all.

‘Thank you, angel!’

Apazrakon failed to grasp the atmosphere and protested.

-I did not help that mortal escape. I am rather the victim here, and according to the laws of this continent, shouldn’t you comfort and help me?

Earlier, he had simply been scolded due to the chaotic situation, but now that things had settled somewhat, Apazrakon logically defended himself.

Though the celestials secluded themselves in their own dimension, they certainly weren’t lacking in intellectual ability. Apazrakon also presented quite decent logic based on the continental information he had researched.

However, Apazrakon still missed something since he wasn’t of mortal origin.

The continent was a more unreasonable place than expected.

“Get lost! Go back to your dimension, you bastard who’s less helpful than this demon.”

Several demons inside the Manma bracelet giggled excitedly.

Though they were miserably trapped inside, that didn’t mean there was no joy. Especially seeing celestials being humiliated was a very rare pleasure to experience.

And being compared to them on top of that!

-I cannot accept…

Apazrakon kept trying to persuade the irrationally behaving human. Lee Han ignored him and called the others.

“Professors, Knights. Please help with the exorcism.”

-Understood!

The Death Knights immediately responded.

It was a natural reaction since they were already feeling awkward about causing trouble.

Professor Garcia and Professor Kirmin weren’t as guilty as the knights, but they had no reason to refuse their disciple’s request.

And honestly, their thoughts were similar.

‘If that angel hadn’t been there, he might not have been able to escape.’

“Mr. Apazrakon. I understand your feelings, but actually, following Student Lee Han around isn’t allowed in the first place, you know? Since the person involved says he dislikes it, please go back now.”

-I do not understand. The fault lies with that mortal…

-Begin the attack!!

The angel could learn another fact firsthand.

Mortals sometimes communicated with force instead of words.

As the Death Knights threw chains of darkness and the two professors unleashed magic, Apazrakon had to hastily flee beyond dimensions.

‘How can this be. Why?’

The confused Apazrakon decided he needed to visit the Yachaowang again.

Surely the wise king could give advice about what the angel had just experienced!

* * *

After the angel disappeared, the atmosphere became awkward again.

The knights and Ibinta were also reading the room, but the mercenaries and the worshipper of evil gods were reading it even more.

…Could we possibly be executed on the spot here?

“Calm down, Wardanaz. As I said, Professor Bagrek will be fine.”

“Thank you… You must be going through a lot of trouble because of Professor Bagrek too, Professor.”

Once he calmed down a bit, Lee Han felt sorry for Professor Kirmin.

Wasn’t he caught up in Professor Boladi’s indiscriminate escape incident after coming to help him?

However, Professor Kirmin shook his head.

“Professor Bagrek is my friend before being your master, Wardanaz. Everyone usually has at least one friend who causes them trouble.”

Professor Kirmin looked at Lee Han intently as he spoke. His eyes seemed to say, ‘Don’t you think of someone too?’

‘Ah.’

Lee Han realized what the other person was saying.

“You mean Senior Diret and Senior Yukveltire.”

“…Uh… well… those two could fall into that category too?”

‘I was talking about Prince Gainando.’

Professor Kirmin thought to himself.

He had intended to talk about ‘friendship with troublesome friends’ by mentioning Gainando, who caused Wardanaz unnecessary trouble…

…Still, Diret and Yukveltire could explain it sufficiently too.

“True, Senior Diret goes through so much trouble but hasn’t driven Senior Yukveltire away.”

“You too, Wardanaz… Hmm. Never mind.”

“Pardon?”

“It’s nothing. Haha.”

Though Professor Kirmin acted slightly strange, there were too many things that had just happened and too many things to do ahead to worry about it.

Lee Han called the knights. The thoroughly intimidated Death Knights started making excuses first.

-That bastard Professor Bagrek cunningly prepared…

-If we were really fighting, we would have poisoned the meal first… but since the opponent was an Einroguard professor…

-That damn angel…

“…I’m sorry for getting angry. You don’t need to console me.”

Lee Han felt unnecessarily sorry and apologized to the knights. Professor Garcia thought to herself.

‘That sounds more like excuses than consolation?’

-!

However, it was definitely effective on the Death Knights. The knights’ eyes sparkled brightly again like brilliant sapphires.

-So you don’t think it’s our fault!

“When the professor left, whose fault could it be? If we had to blame someone, it would be that angel bas… No. It’s already over.”

-You speak wisely. You judged wisely.

“And when the professor was determined, it must have been difficult for you all to stop him.”

-…Ah, no. Strictly speaking, Professor Bagrek escaped through trickery, and if we properly faced off again, who would win is…

As the knights with wounded pride unconsciously tried to argue back, the veteran knight quickly stopped them.

What were they trying to say right now?

-…Right. It was difficult for us to stop him.

-Ugh!

The knights trembled with shame.

‘Just wait and see, Professor Bagrek.’

“I, I was trying to do well too.”

When Ibinta made excuses while reading the room, Lee Han nodded.

“Meeting the worshipper of evil gods was unlucky to begin with. Even if you hadn’t made him confess, the professor would likely have figured it out himself.”

“…Thank you for understanding!”

This former bandit leader was deeply moved in a way that didn’t match his face.

The mage before him was a generous person, incompatibly so for the Wardanaz family. So much so that loyalty spontaneously welled up from deep within his heart.

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Thank you! Then, then for Gonadaltes as well…”

“I won’t hold him responsible, so don’t worry about it.”

“Thank you!”

Ibinta gave his deep thanks, then pondered for a few more seconds before opening his mouth again.

“And… and for Hierdan of the Wardanaz Family as well…”

“…Get lost.”

When Lee Han spoke irritably, Ibinta quickly retreated.

“I think we should report to the Principal right away first.”

-Yes. We’ll do that.

The knights answered respectfully, then glanced at each other.

“…Should I send it?”

-We would be truly grateful if you would, Successor!

“Don’t call me successor.”

* * *

He escaped?!

The Skeleton Principal who received the paper bird was shocked.

Honestly, it was unexpected.

The Death Knights beside him seemed to think the same as they nodded their heads.

-How surprising. I thought the Professor would calmly accept it if student Wardanaz told him.

That’s what I thought too.

The Skeleton Principal read through the rest of the letter in amazement.

Honestly, it wasn’t like Wardanaz had his name on Seinguiros cult’s assassination list, but on their recruitment list, so who would have expected such an extreme reaction.

He wondered if Wardanaz had made some slip of the tongue when conveying the facts.

‘That’s not like him though?’

…Unfortunately, we encountered worshippers of evil gods in the village, and among them was someone who held a grudge against the Professor…

Cough.

The Skeleton Principal let out a short groan.

The lower lines of the letter contained completely different content than expected.

What is this…

-What’s wrong?

It says they encountered worshippers of evil gods while helping with the cult’s work.

-…Oh, no. Did they perhaps target and ambush them?

I thought so, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. There were Kseaksarigol thugs there, and they’d rather die than participate in such a plan.

The Skeleton Principal knew well how much these lunatics feared their prophecies being disrupted.

Rather than get entangled with a variable like Wardanaz, they would choose to smash their own heads.

…That bastard dared to threaten to send assassins and fled to the dimension of Flame Giants, so I pursued and dealt with him (if you have any friendship with the Frost Giant King, please tell him to stop spreading rumors)… Unfortunately, during this process, the Professor learned that there are still many who hold grudges against the cult…

‘So that’s what happened.’

The Skeleton Principal could finally understand the situation.

Such people would hold grudges not only against the Professor himself but also against his disciple, so it made sense that Professor Boladi, upon hearing the threat, immediately launched a preemptive attack. What a damn fool thing to do.

…It was a bit surprising that Wardanaz immediately chased after them saying he would handle it himself…

-Didn’t student Wardanaz originally enjoy dangerous fights? Even if the opponents were worshippers of evil gods, it wouldn’t be an exception.

That’s true.

The Skeleton Principal agreed and turned to the next page.

…If it weren’t for that angel, he wouldn’t have been able to escape through dimensional theft, and I’m still furious thinking about it. If you’re still in contact with Yachaowang, please make him take responsibility…

‘The rest is just useless talk.’

The Skeleton Principal roughly skipped through the rest. It was useless content of Wardanaz cursing Yachaowang and Apazrakon.

-Will you send a pursuit team?

No. He’s an expert at evading pursuit, so it would just waste time.

-The knights won’t fail twice.

Despite his subordinate knights’ enthusiasm, the Skeleton Principal drew a firm line.

The reason I tried to stop him before was because he had lost his weapon of cold judgment due to his desire for revenge. Revenge itself wasn’t the problem. The reason I tried to stop him this time was because he might still be burning with vengeance… but looking at the letter, I don’t think I need to worry about that.

What the Skeleton Principal worried about was his former disciple losing his reason and going on a rampage, but if he was acting coldly, there was no need to stop him.

Orderly and systematic revenge makes the mind and body healthy.

-I don’t quite understand… how can you be so certain just from reading the letter?

The knights asked in puzzlement.

If his mind had snapped, he would have killed all the worshippers of evil gods there before leaving. The fact that he spared them and escaped alone shows he was being rational.

-In, indeed…!

The Death Knights were amazed by their master’s logic. Indeed, not just anyone could become an Archmage.

Even if we don’t send a pursuit team, keep your ears open. Leave signs everywhere that we’ll provide support. He’ll probably ignore them though.

-Yes. Oh, the Successor seems very worried, so I’ll explain the situation to him.

Such a flatterer. Do as you wis… no. I should write a reply myself.

-…

The knights suddenly felt an ominous feeling.

What are you planning to write?

The Skeleton Principal excitedly wrote his reply in one swift stroke.

…It’s because your magic is lacking that worshippers of evil gods look down on you, Baegreck looks down on you, Flame Giants look down on you, and angels look down on you too…

The knights were horrified at their master’s attempt to use even this opportunity as a trial to make his disciple grow.

If he makes one wrong move like this, wouldn’t a legendary mage criminal be born!
