Anger
Unaware of the Black Turtle Tower students’ shock, Balpatan of Moradi Family nodded his head.
-Gainando… A splendid name befitting outstanding talent.
“?”
-I’ll remember that name. We’ll meet someday.
The senior left with his quill and paper.
One of the Black Turtle Tower students who belatedly came to his senses asked Lee Han in a bewildered voice.
“War… Wardanaz. Is this really okay?”
“Didn’t they say that people who meet at night originally don’t tell each other their names or families?”
“…”
The Black Turtle Tower students were left speechless by Lee Han’s adaptability in applying what he learned from the senior in less than a minute.
Was this what it took to become one of the top students in the grade?
“And you guys. Think carefully. What family did that senior just say he was from?”
“House Moradi.”
“If he’s from House Moradi, do you think he’ll bother us later or not bother us?”
At Lee Han’s question, the Black Turtle Tower students fell into deep thought.
White Tiger Tower students were generally rough, noisy, and completely stubborn friends.
And leading them was Gizel of House Moradi.
Though she appeared polite and kind on the surface, the students belonging to Salko’s group weren’t fooled.
The one leading snakes was always a more vicious snake.
“He’ll probably bother us.”
“Right. I blocked that in advance. You don’t need to thank me. Please take care of me later.”
Having roughly taken care of everything he needed to, Lee Han shouldered his backpack and waved as he left.
Watching him, one of the Black Turtle Tower students said to Salko.
“Tutanta. I think I understand why you said not to talk privately with Wardanaz when you’re alone.”
“Me too.”
Salko nodded his head.
Wardanaz’s abilities, sense of responsibility, and friendship toward his friends were worthy of respect, but…
Separate from that, the fact that Wardanaz could strip a Black Turtle Tower student bare in an instant if he set his mind to it didn’t change.
Even the Black Turtle Tower students from the back alleys, who had lived rough lives, thought so.
Wardanaz…
What a scary guy!
* * *
Thanks to finishing his exploration relatively early, Lee Han was able to return to the Blue Dragon Tower common room and do his own work.
Taking out the food supplies he brought from the kitchen and sorting them into his private room’s pantry…
‘It’s full and won’t fit anymore. I’ll have to ask Yoner.’
…sorting them in order of relatively short expiration dates, writing ledgers, and force-selling… no, treating his friends resting in the common room to snacks.
Only then could Lee Han sip his coffee and set out to do his own studying.
In fact, it was easy to forget while living at this school, but surprisingly, students had enrolled here to study.
‘Before coming in, I was determined not to lose to anyone else when it came to studying.’
He had been determined to show the pampered youngsters of the Empire the frenzied study amount of someone thirsty for success, but somehow he was busy making a living and felt like he was becoming more specialized in other areas.
It must be his imagination, right?
Lee Han stacked up his study books one by one.
The books to study were stacked all the way to beside Gainando, who was sleeping and drooling on the common room fireplace sofa.
Seeing that, Lee Han suddenly felt something strange.
‘…It seems like I have a bit too much to study?’
Lee Han counted again, wondering if he was mistaken.
Professor Garcia’s 【Understanding Basic Magic】.
She had announced that she would give pop quizzes not only on basic elemental magic but also on other fields of magic.
Then black magic, summoning magic, and illusion magic were added.
Even if Professor Garcia gave really simple tests, the black magic, summoning magic, and illusion magic professors were a different story.
Since they gathered students who would take classes next year to teach them in advance, even if they didn’t give formal pop quizzes, they had basic expectations of the students.
Considering that, he needed to read about two books each.
Thud-thud-thud-
‘Nothing strange so far.’
Ihan pushed the book to the side and checked the next book.
【Understanding Basic Alchemy】.
Alchemy was a field where you could get seriously hurt if you tried to rely on instinct alone without proper study.
Although Ihan possesses an alchemical intuition forged through grueling experiments, he cannot neglect his theoretical studies.
She had to work even harder when she thought about students like Yonerna Adenart and Siana the priestess, who had already studied alchemy before entering.
Considering that, about three books…
Stack stack stack-
Stack stack stack-
Lee Han stacked books to the side again.
【Basic Mount Training】.
The pop quiz was over, but Professor Lightningstep’s teachings continued every week.
Learning about the dangerous and capricious creatures in this school was important not just for escape but also for protecting one’s life.
‘Only one book.’
It was thick, but only one book. Lee Han stacked it to the side with relief.
Next was 【Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic】. Also 【Basic Imperial Language and Logic】.
Required subjects with clear necessity for study.
The height of books rose once again.
It seemed roughly finished, but it wasn’t over yet.
Lee Han took out additional books.
【On Basic Lightning Elemental Magic and Its Applications】 given by Professor Boladi.
If he didn’t master it just because there was no pop quiz, he might have to learn it by taking lightning directly with his body in front of Professor Boladi. He had to study in advance.
The black magic book that the Skeleton Principal (forcibly) gave him.
He had to practice until 【Gonadaltes’s Sharp Hand】 that he taught last time became proficient. Otherwise, he might get dragged into dreams again.
The most recently obtained 【On Basic Blood Magic and Its Applications】.
No one would say anything if he didn’t read this, but he had to read it to survive in this school. He felt every time how helpful one useful magic could be.
Lee Han raised his head after stacking all the books.
Due to the books, Gainando’s face wasn’t visible.
“…Hmm.”
‘Strange.’
He had definitely organized only the necessary books, so why were there so many?
* * *
Gainando, who had dozed off in the common room before going to his private room bed to sleep soundly until morning, was amazed to see Lee Han awake in the common room.
“Do you really wake up early?”
“I didn’t sleep.”
“…”
Gainando quietly skewered a marshmallow and held it over the campfire, roasting it until it became soft and gooey.
Then he sandwiched it between pieces of hard bread and ate it bit by bit.
“Why do you have to go that far…?”
“Gainando. You’re being too carefree.”
Asan from the Dalcard family also walked down with a tired expression.
Since it was quiz week, he had stayed up all night studying in his private room.
How much had he studied to perfectly master 【Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic】?
Wardanaz probably stayed up all night because of that subject too.
“Wardanaz. I understand. Even after doing all this, I feel like I only understand about 80% of 【Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic】.”
“That’s pretty good. I still have many parts I need to study.”
Gainando, who was listening from the side while eating his marshmallow, tilted his head in confusion.
There seemed to be some misunderstanding in their conversation.
Asan was indeed studying only that subject, as evidenced by him carrying only the 【Basic Imperial Geometry and Arithmetic】 book.
In comparison, Lee Han…
‘Weren’t there almost mountains of books yesterday?’
Before going upstairs, there had definitely been books piled up like mountains, but now only one book remained.
Gainando became curious and asked.
“Where did all the books that were here go?”
“I put all the books I finished studying in my private room. They were getting in the way.”
“…”
Gainando dropped the marshmallow he was holding.
“Are… are you insane?!”
“What’s wrong, Gainando?”
“Lee Han stayed up all night studying!”
“…That’s what everyone does, you fool.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students who came out one after another scolded Gainando.
Was he really making such a fuss over studying just one thing?
Everyone was studying!
“No… hey… this…”
Gainando trembled with frustration.
These guys who didn’t even see the books piled up in the common room…!
“There really were so many…!”
“Stop talking nonsense and finish your bread.”
“Sob.”
Gainando chewed and swallowed the remaining bread. The bread was delicious.
“But Asan. Why did you study in your private room instead of the common room yesterday? Isn’t the common room better?”
“Because you kept talking loudly in your sleep.”
“…Sorry…”
Meanwhile, Lee Han read 【Basic Lightning Elemental Magic and Its Applications】 one more time and stood up.
He wasn’t entirely satisfied, but it was time to move if he wanted to start the day.
“Wardanaz. What lecture are you attending today?”
“Basic Swordsmanship.”
“Oh… dear.”
His friends looked sympathetic at Lee Han’s words.
It was already tough being quiz week, and now he had to attend a lecture like Basic Swordsmanship.
Just thinking about it seemed exhausting.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Lee Han was puzzled by his friends’ concern.
Honestly, unlike the subjects he was currently studying, the 【Basic Swordsmanship】 lecture was actually easier since he could just go and get by with physical activity.
However, his friends looked worriedly at Wardanaz’s retreating figure.
“Those White Tiger Tower bastards won’t use the quiz as an excuse to pick on him, will they?”
“Next time we see those White Tiger Tower bastards, let’s clearly warn them not to mess with Wardanaz.”
The Blue Dragon Tower friends united in friendship and made a firm resolution.
It was a resolution that would make the White Tiger Tower students explode with anger if they heard it.
* * *
“What’s going on? The atmosphere is strange.”
Unlike usual swordsmanship lectures, the atmosphere was excited and chaotic. Lee Han asked Durgyu with confusion.
Durgyu spoke in a low voice.
“I heard people are coming from outside today for the quiz. Lee Han.”
“!”
Lee Han understood why the White Tiger Tower students were chattering with faces mixed with half excitement and half worry.
People coming from outside.
They were probably peers from the same knight families.
For the White Tiger Tower students, who were all from knight families, it was inevitable to feel nervous.
If they showed embarrassing swordsmanship or made mistakes while facing them…
“Everyone must be nervous. Actually, I’m nervous too.”
“In that regard, I feel at ease.”
Lee Han spoke confidently.
Being from a mage family, no matter what disgrace he suffered in swordsmanship lectures, he wouldn’t hear things like ‘Why is that person from that family so clumsy with swordsmanship?’
Because he was from a mage family!
“…”
Durgyu was very flustered by Lee Han’s words.
“Lee Han, someone of your level wouldn’t show an embarrassing performance even against guests from outside.”
“Is that so? I hope you’re not jumping to conclusions too hastily. Do you think it wouldn’t be embarrassing if I used magic while fighting?”
“…”
“I’m joking.”
“R-right?”
Durgyu restored his pale complexion. He had been startled, thinking Lee Han was serious about saying such things.
“Attention.”
With a tapping sound, Professor Ingoldel appeared.
“Now. It’s nice to meet you all… Without saying much, this week is a week to check how well students are keeping up through simple tests. So we’ve invited guests from outside.”
Along with Professor Ingoldel’s words, heavily armed knights appeared from behind.
“…You said they were peers?”
Lee Han asked Durgyu.
Looking at the knights’ faces, they seemed to have rolled around battlefields for about ten years longer than the students here.
“Maybe… peers who look a little older…”
“The knights who came here are all excellent knights currently active in knight orders.”
“…”
The students were horrified.
Lee Han thought.
‘Professor Ingoldel seems to do things quite similar to Professor Boladi.’
