Chapter 1195

-Think of your opponent as Professor Verdus, successor.

One of the Death Knights whispered to help Lee Han.

Of course, it wasn’t helpful at all.

‘Calling that advice.’

Lee Han was dumbfounded. Professor Kirmin, unable to watch any longer, came to his aid.

“If the master acts arbitrarily, wouldn’t the disciple act arbitrarily too?”

“Their authority isn’t the same.”

“That’s why Wardanaz searched around much more quietly than you!”

“?”

-?

Lee Han and the Death Knights hesitated.

Did he…

Did he really?

‘I don’t think so?’

The Death Knights recalled the actions Lee Han had taken after his master disappeared.

He would enter any city, catch some criminal, then cause a ruckus saying things like ‘You bastard, you’re an evil worshipper! No? If you’re innocent, bring me a real evil worshipper!’…

Compared to Professor Boladi who preferred quiet assassinations, this side was much noisier.

“…”

However, Professor Boladi, who hadn’t accurately grasped his disciple’s situation after his escape, quietly fell into thought.

Seeing this, the knights smiled wickedly.

‘He doesn’t know properly!’

-That’s right. How quietly he searched around?

“The rumors definitely said mages from Einroguard were in the cities…”

-False rumors. False rumors.

The knights were not only wicked but shameless as well.

Professor Boladi, who knew well that arguing with these Death Knights would yield nothing, turned his gaze back to his disciple.

“Anyway, now that you’ve heard the explanation, go back and focus on your studies.”

Professor Boladi wielded orthodox reasoning again.

A second-year student should be immersed in magic within the school grounds, not chasing after his master just because he’s doing some hunting.

Professor Kirmin was infuriated by that shamelessness.

‘He broke all the rules himself, yet acts like that toward his disciple. He’s my friend, but truly shameless.’

Lee Han opened his closed eyes.

Thanks to the Death Knights and Professor Kirmin buying him time, he was able to organize his thoughts briefly.

‘Stay calm.’

Some professors had an aura that overwhelmed people just by dealing with them.

At times like this, he shouldn’t be swayed. He had to go at it shamelessly in reverse.

Though it was crazy advice, the suggestion to think of his opponent as Professor Verdus had some merit…

“I refuse.”

“?!”

Professor Kirmin was more surprised than Professor Boladi.

He hadn’t expected his disciple to charge head-on like that.

“Why?”

“There’s nothing to learn if I go back. I’ll have to self-study while subjugating evil worshippers.”

“…”

-…

At such audacious words that were hard to hear normally, not only Professor Kirmin but even the knights opened their mouths.

Th-th-that…!

‘But the successor does have the right to be so unreasonable.’

He was essentially walking about two years ahead, so if Lee Han couldn’t be this unreasonable, who could?

“That’s a misconception.”

Professor Boladi calmly explained despite his disciple’s rare rebellion.

Of course, Lee Han’s talent was exceptionally outstanding and his achievements were among the best, but magic inevitably had parts that would be missed the faster one ran.

This was especially true for mages like Lee Han who trained in various schools simultaneously.

A mage who could collapse a mountain with a finger snap but couldn’t boil a teacup wasn’t a joke.

Therefore, even if he had achieved everything this semester, he shouldn’t act arrogantly but should look for and practice the parts he missed or rushed through.

“Indeed.”

“Then go back now.”

“I refuse. I’ve wanted to raise the Wardanaz Family’s reputation and ease His Imperial Majesty’s worries since long ago, so I’m going to subjugate those evil worshipper bastards.”

“…”

When Professor Boladi fell silent, speechless, the knights momentarily felt emotional.

‘To think such a day would come…!’

What thoughts had they had in the past when Professor Boladi wouldn’t listen no matter how much they tried to stop him?

Hadn’t they thought that someday he too should experience being dealt with by someone like himself?

‘Karma really exists. After being so disobedient and causing worry!’

As the two master and disciple faced off tensely, Professor Kirmin carefully intervened.

“Boladi. With your opinions running on parallel lines like this, how about returning to school for now? Wardanaz has to take midterm exams too.”

Compared to the long, long grudge against evil worshippers, Einroguard midterm exams sounded too trivial, but Professor Kirmin knew his friend well.

At least it would have enough value to make him consider and worry.

But as always, Professor Kirmin’s friend exceeded expectations.

“I’ve already prepared for that. Lord Galjidahaka agreed to oversee it instead.”

“…Who the hell is that?!”

Not only Professor Kirmin but Lee Han and the knights were also bewildered.

‘When did he prepare that?’

Just tracking the Order remnants should have left no time!

“Lord Galjidahaka is…”

“Never mind, never mind. I didn’t ask because I was curious who that was. Anyway, you have no intention of returning to school, is that it?”

“I stated my reasons earlier.”

Professor Boladi answered with upright posture, unwavering.

When the cause was outside, why should he return to school?

“Fine. Then I’ll also wander around with Wardanaz and subjugate evil worshippers. The knights here will help too.”

At Professor Kirmin’s words, Lee Han brightened and nodded.

“That’s a good idea. Let’s thoroughly search through all the cities like we did last time!”

“…I wasn’t thinking quite that far… but fine! If you’re going to do it, Wardanaz.”

-We’ll join as well!

The professor, student, and knights united in spirit.

To break a stubborn vampire, one must not back down.

They looked at Professor Boladi as if asking what he thought.

However, Professor Boladi asked a completely different question.

“Like you did last time?”

“…”

-…

Professor Boladi was puzzled.

Thoroughly searching through cities like last time?

Lee Han immediately changed his words.

“That was just a slip of the tongue. The important thing is, if you don’t return, Professor, we’ll proceed with subjugation in our own way.”

-With support and numbers, much more flashily and noisily.

“We could call Professor Kim to join us too.”

A relentless wave attack.

However, Professor Boladi once again proved why he had made the Death Knights grab the back of their necks during his school days.

“Understood.”

“…”

-…

Lee Han and the death knights looked at the professor with disgusted eyes.

It seemed like the mage before them had no concept of negotiation or compromise.

Professor Kirmin sighed and said.

“There’s no choice. I’ll have to use the last method.”

“No, you still had a hidden method??”

Lee Han cast a resentful gaze.

If such a method existed, he should have brought it out earlier!

Professor Kirmin answered with a reluctant expression.

“It’s a method you know too, Wardanaz.”

“Pardon?”

“Let’s put him to sleep and then lock him up in the deepest part of Einroguard until the subjugation is over. Let’s see if his newly acquired dimensional escape works there too.”

-You won’t be able to escape like you did during your school days, Professor.

Even as his friend and the knights displayed menacing auras, Professor Boladi didn’t bat an eye.

As if he was confident he could escape within a few days even if captured.

“Wait, wait. This isn’t right.”

In the end, Lee Han surrendered first.

No matter how he thought about it, knocking out the professor and locking him up until the situation ended wasn’t a good method.

It seemed like he would escape anyway…

-Don’t worry, Successor. We also know the opponent’s abilities. Escaping won’t be that easy.

“That’s not what I’m worried about.”

“Wardanaz. I wanted to do this to my friend too, but there was no way.”

“Pardon?”

“Ah, sorry. I didn’t want to do this, but there’s no way.”

“…There must be a way. A method that the professor can agree to and we can agree to as well.”

“If such a thing exists…”

* * *

1 hour later.

The group was all moving together.

Professor Kirmin, following behind Professor Boladi, had a very complicated and mixed expression.

‘Is this right?’

Surprisingly, there was one method that both Boladi and Wardanaz could agree to.

It was for the entire group to accompany Boladi on his revenge journey.

While Boladi had coldly left his disciple behind when he first escaped, this friend had a nasty personality and was stubborn, but he was certainly no fool.

Even in a situation where his disciple had proven he could use force, he didn’t maintain the same stubbornness.

Rather than letting them move separately and putting them in danger, it was more rational to let them accompany him.

Of course, it was rational from Professor Boladi’s perspective, but it was unclear how others would react.

Professor Kirmin already wanted to flee thinking about how Wuman, who came as an inspector, or Professor Garcia would react upon hearing this news.

-So you went to bring him back but decided to subjugate together? Together with a 2nd year student? …Are all Einroguard professors like you by any chance?

-Professor Kirmin Ku. I’m surprised you’re telling me this. Why surprised, you ask? Last time you left without telling me, so I thought you considered me not worth talking to. No. Don’t apologize. I’m planning to treat you the same way from now on. Come to think of it, I don’t need to call you Professor Kirmin Ku either. I should just call you someone I’m meeting for the first time.

“…”

Professor Kirmin sighed. The back of his friend’s head looked particularly tempting to hit.

‘Right. Whether visible or not, if he’s annoying, it’s better to see him…’

Tap tap-

Professor Boladi tapped the shoulder of Professor Kirmin, who was lost in thought.

Professor Kirmin responded with an attitude three times more irritable than usual.

“What, why?”

“I’d like to hear about Wardanaz’s academic situation.”

“…Oh, so that’s what you were curious about!”

At his friend’s words wanting to hear about what achievements his disciple had made in various lectures during his absence, Professor Kirmin smiled brightly.

And raised his middle finger.

-He is the top student though…

The death knights following behind nodded as if it made sense.

Though insulting, it wasn’t an incorrect expression.

Professor Boladi didn’t care whether his friend raised his middle finger or index finger and found his next target.

“Wardanaz’s…”

The death knights immediately became serious.

-Do you think we’ll tell you?

Though rejected by the knights as well, Professor Boladi didn’t care. When the turn came to him, Ibinta turned pale.

Among this gloomy and bizarre group, he had the lowest position.

He really didn’t want to get involved in this quarrel.

“I, I really don’t know. I don’t know much about magic in the first place.”

“I see.”

When all his questions failed, Professor Boladi took out a piece of paper and began writing a letter.

Though he had decided to ignore it, Professor Kirmin couldn’t help but glance over.

To the Principal

I have an inquiry about Wardanaz’s current academic situation…

“…Hey, I’ll just tell you! Stop it!”

Professor Kirmin snatched the letter and burned it.

Did this guy not know what ‘escape’ meant!
