Chapter 120

“…Thank you.”

Lee Han spoke with genuine sincerity.

He could only be grateful to Bikelintz.

He could have refused to acknowledge defeat as much as he wanted, but he acknowledged defeat out of consideration for the young new student.

“Are you perhaps interested in the White Poplar Knight Order?”

“Pardon?”

Lee Han hesitated.

The White Poplar Knight Order was…

‘It seems like a tough job where all that’s left is honor.’

It would have angered the White Poplar Knights to hear this, but it wasn’t completely wrong.

Since they didn’t stay at headquarters and wandered the Empire alone for honor and conviction, their hardships were unimaginable.

“I’m still lacking, and even more so as a knight.”

Lee Han politely declined.

However, it seemed to have a slightly different meaning to Bikelintz.

The knight of the White Poplar Knight Order spoke in a serious and heavy voice.

“You are not lacking. Of course, you need to learn more now, but if you study here for just a few years, you could become a better mage than any mage in the White Poplar Knight Order. And no one expects knightly abilities from a mage working in the knight order, so you don’t need to worry about that.”

“…”

Lee Han was flustered when the other person recommended it more seriously than he thought, rather than just being polite.

Uh…

Huh?

“Moreover… your abilities as a knight are not lacking either. For a mage, that’s more than enough. Other knights would be ashamed.”

“Now. Please calm down, Sir Bikelintz.”

Professor Ingoldel stopped Bikelintz.

“He’s still a new student, isn’t he? It’s too early to decide his future.”

Lee Han was moved by Professor Ingoldel’s words.

And he came to his senses.

‘No wait. This person brought him here in the first place.’

“You’re right. I got excited and was too greedy.”

“Not at all. I’m just happy that you evaluate my disciples so favorably.”

While Professor Ingoldel and Bikelintz were having a warm conversation, knights from the White Poplar Knight Order who had finished fighting elsewhere walked over.

“Are you finished? Sir Bikelintz? How was it?”

“Sir Bikelintz. You weren’t too harsh on the students, were you?”

“I lost.”

“What!?”

Bikelintz kindly explained in detail what had happened to the knights who arrived late.

As he pointed at Lee Han with his hand and spoke, the knights looked at Lee Han with eyes of admiration and awe, making Lee Han feel danger.

‘This is…’

Lee Han quietly hid behind Giselle. Giselle moved her steps with a very displeased expression.

“You all did excellently.”

Professor Ingoldel praised the three.

Not only Lee Han but the other two had really worked hard.

They had struggled to keep binding Bikelintz’s ankles while the magic was being cast.

“Perfect score. It wasn’t a fight I called for you to win, but I never expected you to win like this.”

‘Ah.’

Only then did Lee Han remember that the goal of this quiz wasn’t victory.

He had momentarily forgotten because Bikelintz had attacked so fiercely.

“But I think these unexpected moments that disciples show are the greatest joy a master can feel. Thank you all for giving me the greatest joy.”

“Not at all!”

Durgyu shouted out of shared emotion, but Lee Han and Giselle were somewhat indifferent.

‘No matter how I think about it, the White Poplar Knight Order is a bit…’

‘Don’t you know moderation?’

From the moment he brought the White Poplar Knight Order and set them against them, Professor Ingoldel became ‘even so, that’s going too far.’

“The knights of the White Poplar Knight Order were also very satisfied with the sparring. They said they would definitely tell their other comrades about what happened today.”

“?”

“Since they asked to definitely be called if such an opportunity arises again, it’s not just polite words but they were truly satisfied.”

“…Yes. It seems so.”

Lee Han became inexplicably anxious.

Don’t tell me I’ll have to fight the White Poplar Knight Order commander during midterms?

* * *

“…”

“Lee Han?”

Durgyu, who was walking with Lee Han after the lecture ended, was puzzled when his friend stopped walking.

“What’s wrong? What’s the matter… Are you okay?!”

Thud-

Lee Han fell to his knees.

It was due to the aftereffects of using 【Piblicus’s Great and Tremendous Magic Missile】 earlier.

‘…Ugh.’

Lee Han wanted to grab the collar of that bastard Piblicus who classified this magic as 1st Circle.

How is this 1st Circle?

Instead of firing, he compressed massive mana in front of himself to induce instability and explode.

The principle was nothing more than gathering mana, but its destructive power and danger exceeded expectations.

It was like throwing a bomb right in front of the mage and detonating it…

This magic had only one safety mechanism.

When the mana exploded, the mage had to use all their strength to push the mana in the opposite direction.

What if control failed?

Then they would just get hit together. It was truly insane magic.

‘Blood mages… The Empire should ban them.’

Even though he thought he had controlled the mana and avoided the shock, something must have gotten through because his vision was shaking and he felt dizzy.

But thanks to that, he could clearly understand what kind of people blood mages were.

Those bastards who remove all safety mechanisms for efficiency!

Lee Han resolved to rename 【Piblicus’s Great and Tremendous Magic Missile】 to 【Piblicus’s Insane Mana Explosion】.

“Lee Han! You can’t die!”

“Durgyu… It’s not that serious, so don’t make a fuss.”

Lee Han spoke to Durgyu who was making noise beside him.

Durgyu seemed to be misunderstanding something, but it wasn’t that serious.

Rather, he was more worried about something else.

“Durgyu.”

“What’s wrong?! Tell me if you need anything!”

“The White Tiger Tower students can’t notice my condition… so lower your voice.”

“…”

Durgyu was at a loss for words.

It was the kind of solemnity that a knight order commander going to war might show.

‘You’re a first-year, Lee Han…!’

But Durgyu did as Lee Han asked.

Even from Durgyu’s perspective, showing Lee Han’s weakened state to the White Tiger Tower friends didn’t seem like a good idea.

“Wait. Lee Han. I’ll take you to the infirmary.”

Durgyu supported Lee Han and started walking. One of the White Tiger Tower friends looked at them both and asked curiously.

“What’s wrong?”

“…Training!”

“Oh, really?”

Durgyu desperately took Lee Han and headed to the infirmary.

* * *

“Mild mana shock symptoms. What crazy professor set off a mana explosion near a first-year?”

When Lee Han opened his eyes, he heard a voice near his ear.

It was a conversation between Durgyu and the owner of the infirmary.

“That… I can’t tell you. I’m sorry.”

“Afraid the professor will retaliate? Really. I don’t understand why other people in the Empire fear us. They should be more afraid of mages.”

‘Come to think of it, this is my first time in the infirmary.’

Since getting hurt was very common, the magic school also had a place like a nurse’s office.

When he collapsed from the bloody battle with the anti-magic extremists last time, the Skeleton Principal brought him directly, so he didn’t need to go to the infirmary…

But today he ended up coming here by chance.

It was more ordinary than expected.

Clean and pristine white scenery with beds arranged, and the person in charge of the infirmary was in the shape of a book talking to Durgyu beside him…

‘…?’

Lee Han blinked his eyes.

The owner of the infirmary was indeed in the form of a book even when he looked again. A book fluttering in the air spoke to Durgyu.

“The shock symptoms came from experiencing a mana explosion at close range while fatigued. I cast recovery on him, so he’ll be fine.”

“Thank you! I really… he was fine for a while even after the explosion, but suddenly collapsed… I thought there might be a serious mana-related problem.”

The book in the infirmary was quite bewildered by Durgyu’s words.

“He was fine for a while after the explosion?”

“Yes.”

“What kind of ignorant… never do that again.”

There was only one reason someone could appear fine after a mana explosion went off nearby.

He just endured it with willpower.

After hearing the explanation, Durgyu was also bewildered.

“That’s impossible. There’s no reason for Lee Han to endure so stubbornly… Hmm. Never mind.”

“…”

Come to think of it, Lee Han was definitely someone who could do that. Lee Han felt slightly betrayed by Durgyu.

“Thank you for treating me.”

When he spoke up with a cough, the book fluttered and approached. Lee Han hesitated, not knowing how to address the other party.

“I’m the Infirmary Demon.”

“…Excuse me?”

“You seemed unsure how to address me.”

“Ah… I see.”

Lee Han wasn’t surprised even when the talking book revealed itself to be a demon.

Even if he was surprised, he could now speak calmly with a peaceful expression. The magic school had made Lee Han grow.

“How boring… other new students are always startled.”

“Let me guess. The Infirmary Demon was probably captured by the Principal and forced to work here.”

“!!!”

The talking book was startled.

How did he know!?

“Amazing! That’s no ordinary cleverness!”

“You flatter me.”

Lee Han waved his hand dismissively.

It was deduction that anyone who had met the Skeleton Principal a few times could naturally make.

Of course, Durgyu, who didn’t know the circumstances, was very impressed.

“That’s right. I was summoned and captured by Gonadaltes, so I’m working here in book form.”

No dissatisfaction could be felt in the talking book’s voice. Seeing this, Durgyu asked.

“From what you’re saying, are you satisfied working here?”

“No?”

“What? But…”

“You don’t think I have no complaints just because I’m speaking cheerfully, do you?”

Lee Han joined their conversation.

He couldn’t just sit and watch.

“Probably if you act unfaithfully, the Principal will punish you.”

“Amazing!”

The Infirmary Demon, the talking book, was surprised once again.

For a new student, he understood his situation too well.

Considering Gonadaltes’ eccentric personality, grumbling in the infirmary would likely result in pages being torn out.

“You’re too clever… wait. You’re not Gonadaltes in disguise, are you…”

The talking book trailed off suspiciously. Then immediately used magic.

“…Mana Detection!”

The talking book was startled by the tremendous mana felt from Lee Han.

“Gonadaltes! You really are!”

“I’m not.”

“Lee Han just has a lot of mana!”

Thanks to Durgyu desperately stepping forward to persuade, the talking book stopped being suspicious.

Though it used various confirmation magic and detection magic several more times after that…

“I’ve been moving with him the whole time. He’s definitely not the Principal.”

“Fine. I’ll believe you. But new student. Remember that Gonadaltes can substitute your friend in the brief moment you look away.”

“…”

Durgyu thought the talking book was joking.

However, Lee Han took it seriously.

‘I really need to be careful.’

“Well, if it were Gonadaltes, he would have revealed his identity the moment I used magic. He’s not one to stay still… New student. I’m sorry. I apologize.”

“It’s fine.”

Lee Han got up from his seat.

Thanks to the talking book’s healing magic, his body had recovered, so it was time to leave.

“Wait. Take this.”

The talking book handed Lee Han a small leather pouch as he was about to leave.

“What is this?”

“A simple healing remedy.”

“Ah… am I not completely healed?”

Lee Han was surprised.

His physical condition seemed completely fine, but was there something still remaining?

“No. It’s just a gift telling you to visit often.”

“…”

Lee Han felt both gratitude and uneasiness at the same time.
