Anyway, I’m pleased that you blockheads have realized this so quickly!

No one was happy despite the Lich Principal’s praise. Lee Han thought he heard someone cursing.
‘Blue Dragon Tower is usually the slowest to adapt.’
However, surprisingly, the Lich Principal was genuinely praising them.
Every year new students entered the new dormitories, but among them, Blue Dragon Tower students were the slowest to adapt.
The fastest to adapt were the Black Turtle Tower students.
Since they included students from merchant, commoner, or even slum backgrounds, their adaptability was exceptional.
Next fastest were the White Tiger Tower students.
Since most came from knight families, they had good physical abilities and endured harsh conditions well.
In comparison, Blue Dragon Tower students were mostly from high noble families.
Having never experienced hardships, they were inevitably slow to adapt.
But to think they’d figure out how to procure and eat food on their own in just a few days.
Honestly, it was admirable.
‘That guy must be the culprit.’
The Lich Principal’s blue gaze fixed on Lee Han.
An Archmage’s intuition was never wrong.
When it occasionally was wrong, he had to use force to make it right.
In that regard, Lee Han was fortunate.
He was exactly as the Lich Principal had first sensed.
‘The qualities of a good mage aren’t simply determined by mana capacity…’
The Lich Principal didn’t evaluate Lee Han highly just because of his mana capacity.
Of course, that was one factor, but the Lich Principal was more impressed by something else.
To think such a free-spirited guy would emerge from that rigid Wardanaz Family.
‘Free thinking. That’s the companion that opens the path of a mage.’
That was exactly what the Lich Principal wanted to teach the students here.
Feeding them hard bread and cold rice was also to cultivate such free thinking.
Of course, he also enjoyed watching it, but anyway, that was the original purpose.
‘I wonder why my spine suddenly feels chilly.’
Lee Han suddenly felt an ominous feeling. It was strangely chilly for spring weather.
* * *
“Principal. We understand that we must prepare our own meals to grow as mages. But why do we have to attend this character education?”
The Blue Dragon Tower students were certainly fearless.
Being from high noble families, they spoke their minds even before the Lich Principal.
The Lich Principal rattled his skull and spoke gently.
Very well said. Why do you think you need to receive character education? You tell me.

“…I’m not sure.”
That’s because when wizards from here cause trouble outside, His damn Majesty holds me responsible!!!
It’s because when mages from here cause trouble outside, His damn Imperial Majesty holds me responsible!!!
At the Lich Principal’s booming voice, all the new students covered their ears.
If your upperclassmen! Hadn’t gone out! And caused trouble, this wouldn’t be necessary! You damn blockheads!!

“…”
Why do we have this character education?! When His Imperial Majesty’s high officials come asking about incidents later, I need to at least make the excuse that we’re providing character education so you won’t all be punished together! You blockheads!! Is that a sufficient answer?!

Why are we doing this character education?! When a high official of His Imperial Majesty comes later to ask about the reason for this incident, we need to at least be able to make the excuse that we’re providing character education so you all don’t get swept up and punished together! You blockheads!! Is that answer enough for you?!!
Why are we doing this character education?! When the Emperor’s high officials come later to ask about the reasons for this incident, we need to at least be able to make the excuse that we were providing character education so you idiots don’t all get punished together! You blockheads!! Is that answer enough for you?!
“Yes… Yes!!”
The student who had asked the question was overwhelmed by Principal Rich’s intensity and could only nod repeatedly.
Wizards are basically the type who never know when or how they’ll cause trouble. Don’t tell me you’re different. Those lies only make me angry. When you’re allowed to go out later, you’ll see just how much trouble you wizards cause! Open your books! We’re reading page 1!!
“”I will not threaten civilians with magic!””
One more time!
One more time!
One more time!
“”I will not threaten civilians with magic!””
One more time!
One more time!
“I will not threaten civilians with magic!”
Lee Han therefore shouted while thinking to himself.
‘Does this really work?’
If anything, this kind of education seems like it would make wizards cause even more trouble…
All students expected that the character education lecture would be boring.
That prediction was wrong.
The character education lecture was much more boring than expected.
“This… this is a required course…?”
“I think my voice is hoarse from reading so much.”
Now then. I hope that today’s lecture has planted some goodness in your empty iron skulls.
“It really seems like it…”
And I need two people to help with future lectures. Anyone willing to volunteer?

The Lich Principal asked in a gentle voice. That voice was even more chilling.
“…”
And I need two people to help with future lectures. Are there any volunteers?
And I need two people to help with the upcoming lectures. Are there any volunteers?
Principal Rich asked in a gentle voice. That voice was even more chilling.
The students just rolled their eyes and avoided his gaze. Principal Rich smiled with satisfaction and said.
It would be even more painful if no one comes out, wouldn’t it? Are you really not going to come out until the very end?

“I’ll do it.”
It was Lee Han who raised his hand. The Lich Principal made an expression of regret that he couldn’t enjoy this more.
So you’re a blockhead from Wardanaz. Do you like working?

“Wouldn’t it be an honor to help a respected professor?”
“Wardanaz…!”
“You really are…”
The Blue Dragon Tower students looked at Lee Han with deeply moved expressions.
Yesterday he had filled the students’ hungry stomachs with a twilight barbecue party, and today he was stepping forward for his fellow dormitory students.
It wasn’t for nothing that the Wardanaz Family was called a pillar of the Empire.
Look at that sense of responsibility!
It’s quite annoying how you say things you don’t mean. But fine. Opportunities always come to those who are proactive.

Lee Han realized that his ulterior motives had been seen through by the Lich Principal.
A fact he had learned from Professor Thunderstep.
It was that helping professors unexpectedly had many benefits.
Especially in an enclosed space like this, it was better to receive anything from a professor.
Even if that opponent was a crazy skeletal lich.
“I’ll work hard.”
‘And I should be able to get good grades too.’
“L… Lee Han. Are you crazy?”
Gainando whispered with a shocked expression. Another student who heard this said to Gainando.
“If no one had stepped up, we all would have suffered. Wardanaz isn’t crazy, he stepped up for us.”
“Th, then… then I should too…”
Gainando hesitated and tried to stand up. However, his legs wouldn’t move.
‘Move, legs!’
To become noble, he had to be able to stand up in situations like this.
Moreover, wasn’t Lee Han waiting only for Gainando?
‘I have to help…’
A blockhead from the Dalcard Family. Well, the Dalcard Family has always been skilled at paperwork.

“Thank you for the compliment.”
While Gainando was agonizing, a second person stepped forward.
Asan Dalcard.
He was from the Dalcard Family and the boy who had been hit and sent flying by a violent mutant pig in the previous alchemy class.
“?”
Lee Han looked at Asan with a puzzled expression. Honestly, he hadn’t expected Asan to step forward.
‘Is he aiming for something similar to me?’
Asan elegantly adjusted his glasses slightly and said.
“Of course, Wardanaz, you must know why I stepped forward.”
“…I don’t know??”
Lee Han said in bewilderment.
How could he know Asan’s inner thoughts?
“What? Why not?! Obviously it’s to repay the debt for helping me last time!”
Asan was even more bewildered, as if asking what he was talking about.
Wasn’t there no other reason than that?
“Ah… I see. That was it. No, you didn’t need to go that far.”
“What are you saying. The Dalcard Family always repays its debts.”
It’s nice to see two blockheads having a heartwarming conversation, but there’s work to be done right now.

Copy these safety rules enough times for the number of students so you can distribute them to your friends during the next lecture.

“…”
“…”
At the Lich Principal’s words, Asan seemed to snap to attention.
“Principal.”
What?
What?
What?
“I don’t understand… wouldn’t it be easy for you to copy that text onto the paper here with just one use of your magic, Principal? Isn’t it inefficient for us to copy it by hand?”
I know. That’s why I’m making you do it.
I know. That’s why I’m making you do it.
I know. That’s why I’m making you do it.
“…”
Lee Han saw it clearly.
Murderous intent rising from Asan’s eyes!
* * *
-Sorry. Lee Han.
-I want to help but…
Yoner, Gainando, and the other students left apologetically.
Even though they wanted to help, the Lich Principal had blocked them.
Two is enough! Get lost!
Two is enough! Get lost!
Two is enough! Get lost!
As a result, Lee Han ended up doing copying work with Asan Dalcard in the empty lecture hall.
“Unacceptable… unacceptable… to make us do such inefficient work…!”
‘He’s not going to break down, is he?’
Asan muttered while executing furious pen strokes. Lee Han was starting to worry at the sight.
Actually, he thought he knew why the principal was making them do this.
‘If you don’t like it, learn magic and do it that way, right?’
The principal’s mad actions were actually surprisingly easy to understand once you knew the intent.
…The problem was that it was practically impossible.
How could they cast writing magic when they couldn’t even properly cast 【Light Creation】 magic yet?
‘Isn’t there some kind of hint?’
Lee Han began rummaging through the empty lecture hall, trusting in what little conscience the Lich Principal might have left.
“Wardanaz? What are you doing?”
Asan asked, tilting his head. Wardanaz was searching every corner of the lecture hall.
“I’m looking to see if there’s anything worth taking here.”
“Is it okay to do something like that?”
“There’s no law saying we can’t.”
“That seems like stealing…”
“This is the Lich Principal’s lecture hall.”
“…I guess stealing might be okay sometimes.”
Asan jumped up and rushed over to help Lee Han.
‘People really do get corrupted in an instant.’
Whether it’s noble families or whatever, once you enter this school, people become a bit…
“Is there anything?”
“Well. There’s some paper here. Let’s take it since we don’t know when we’ll need it. Wait. There’s a key.”
A key appeared with a jingling sound.
Though he didn’t know what it was for, Lee Han pocketed it for now. Asan asked curiously.
“Do you know what key it is?”
“No. But we should take it for now so we can use it later.”
“Indeed… That’s rational.”
Asan was impressed. It was certainly logical.
Thud-
When they opened the last compartment of the drawer, suddenly a voice came along with mana.
The fact that you opened this drawer means you idiots decided to stop writing until your wrists break and start thinking instead. I hope that happened as early as possible! The longer you did this stupid labor, the more pathetic and pitiful you are.

Here is the 1st Circle Magic 【Basic Manipulation】. Take this and learn it. It would be good to learn it quickly. Otherwise, you’ll be writing by hand for the entire semester.

The Principal’s hidden intention.
The students who realized that intention were moved…
…they were not.
“Wardanaz. I absolutely cannot understand this. Why does he try to teach magic like this? There must be much more rational methods than this!”
Asan spoke with an expression of bursting frustration.
The magic he had in mind was something where an excellent teacher would kindly teach everything step by step, not this throwing-you-in-to-learn-for-survival approach.
What kind of method is this!
Asan continued speaking with a passionate voice.
“Wardanaz. You would understand. Let’s protest to the Principal together. If we both seriously protest, even that Principal might change his mind. …Wardanaz??”
“Hm?”
Lee Han turned his head.
Lee Han was already preparing to learn the magic.
