Chapter 019
‘I underestimated these guys too much.’
Of course, it was true that the Blue Dragon Tower students liked Lee Han and felt indebted to him.
But that alone wouldn’t make them rage so hotly like this.
Fundamentally, the Blue Dragon Tower students didn’t like the White Tiger Tower students.
Coming from knight families, with rough and fierce mannerisms completely opposite to the Blue Dragon Tower students.
They had already been secretly despising them, so when the other side provoked first, they immediately exploded.
Even students from other groups who rarely talked with Lee Han were thoroughly angry and shouting.
“Everyone grab something you can use as a weapon and follow me! Let’s go to the White Tiger Tower!”
“Wait!”
Asan from the Dalcard Family stood in front of the excited students.
Asan climbed onto the common room table and then stopped his classmates.
“Everyone calm down!”
‘Oh. There was someone with sense.’
Lee Han was slightly pleased by Asan’s words.
At least not everyone was failing to grasp the situation.
“What, Dalcard! Are you scared or something?”
“Our honor has been insulted right now!”
Of course, the students got even angrier at Asan trying to stop them.
Asan spoke calmly.
“The White Tiger Tower guys are from knight families. We shouldn’t act rashly. There’s a 95% chance we’ll get beaten.”
“So you’re saying we should just back down?!”
“No. We should divide our numbers into groups, then systematically ambush and attack when we find White Tiger Tower students!”
“Oh…!”
“…”
Lee Han sighed.
I’m an idiot for expecting anything!
“Wait, wait!”
Lee Han shouted loudly, replacing Asan.
Lee Han’s voice, as the person involved in this problem, had to be louder than Asan’s. The students unconsciously turned their attention to Lee Han.
“Let’s make this clear first. I have no intention of asking you guys to get revenge for me! This is a matter related to my honor. I’m not weak enough to ask others to get revenge for me!”
The students murmured at Lee Han’s words.
Among the students here, there wasn’t a single one who didn’t care about honor.
Each carried honor along with their family name.
As such, when Lee Han stepped forward citing his own honor, everyone couldn’t easily object.
“But Wardanaz. The White Tiger Tower guys are cunning, cowardly, petty, and dirty, so even if you try to get revenge honorably, it won’t work out.”
“…”
Lee Han was slightly flustered by one student cursing without taking a breath, but still answered skillfully.
“Even so, for us honorable family descendants to act the same as them would be like entering a mud pit and rolling around together. Let’s not act like that!”
Lee Han’s voice contained clear persuasiveness.
Not only the atmosphere from his dignified appearance and attitude, but also the actions he had shown normally.
The students who had risen in anger eventually nodded and sat back down.
“If Wardanaz says it like that…”
“Those cowardly bastards. They don’t even know what honor is.”
When his friends calmed down, Lee Han spoke again.
He had brought up this topic to say this in the first place.
“Instead, let’s cooperate and respond together if they pick fights with us. The White Tiger Tower guys will likely gang up cowardly.”
“Indeed!”
“Right! We should at least do that much!”
At Lee Han’s words, the students finally seemed satisfied and cheered while stamping their feet and clapping.
‘Good.’
Lee Han could also breathe a sigh of relief inwardly.
Now if White Tiger Tower students picked fights while passing by at school, he could call his colleagues to fight back.
Just this much was enough…
“Come to think of it, the next 【Basic Understanding of Magic】 class is with those White Tiger Tower guys, right?”
“Perfect. We can show those ignorant and vulgar guys a lesson.”
“In the first place, what magic could those kids learn when they just roll around in dirt and swing metal scraps…”
“I mastered the 【Light Generation】 magic.”
“You too? Me too. Let’s show magic in front of those guys. I’m curious about their faces? None of them would have fully learned magic, right?”
“This is the dignified noble way!”
‘…Wait.’
At the conversation of the students who sat back down and were chatting, Lee Han suddenly felt his heart sink.
…Am I the only one who hasn’t learned light magic?
* * *
The next day.
Yoner, who came out to the common room stretching, was startled.
Dark shadows were settled under Lee Han’s eyes.
“What’s wrong!?”
Yoner initially thought it was because of meals.
The meals served every time at the dormitory made the students, who should be hungry at their age, starve.
The day after first entering the dormitory, the students’ faces had actually become haggard and gaunt.
But thinking about it, Lee Han was the unusual person who had adapted perfectly from the first day.
Moreover, when the Blue Dragon Tower students were starving, wasn’t he the person who had enough leisure to go alone to Thunderstep’s cabin and bring back smoked meat and freshly dug vegetables to share with friends (though he did take some money)?
There was no reason for such a person to be like this now because of meals.
Maybe Gainando…
“From practicing magic.”
“Magic? You can’t practice separately… Ah. You said you got permission from Professor Kim last time?”
“Yeah. Everyone else said they succeeded with 【Light Generation】, so I practiced all night.”
“?”
Yoner tilted his head.
It was the first time he was hearing this.
“What do you mean…?”
“Uhaaaaaam.”
Gainando came walking out to the common room with a long yawn.
Then he took out a sausage from the pocket attached to his shabby clothes (it was the sausage he bought from Lee Han yesterday with money).
Gainando treated that sausage preciously like a treasure.
After looking around as if someone might steal it, he stuck it on the end of a skewer and put it into the flames crackling in the fireplace.
With a sizzling sound, the sausage began to cook. Made from quality boar, the sausage’s smell stimulated hungry intestines.
“Hehehe…”
“…”
“…”
Not noticing that Lee Han and Yoner were looking at him pitifully, Gainando took out a potato from another pocket (this was also bought with money).
Then he carefully put it under the campfire in the fireplace.
“Hehehehe…”
“…Gainando. We won’t steal it, so just eat normally.”
“?!??”
Gainando jumped up in surprise. He hadn’t realized Lee Han and Yoner were behind him.
“Wh-when did you get here?!”
“Since you were carefully sticking in that sausage.”
“I-I wasn’t!”
“The sausage is going to burn. Take it out.”
“Huk!”
Hearing those words, Gainando hurriedly pulled out the skewer. Then he sent them a wary look.
“…Gainando. Do you really think Yoner and I would steal your sausage and potato?”
“Of… of course not.”
Though he said that, Gainando still had a guarded expression.
Instead of bothering to say more, Lee Han looked at Yoner and spoke.
“His condition is serious.”
“Everyone’s hungry.”
Rather than Gainando being particularly crazy, everyone was currently in a hungry state.
It was only because Lee Han brought ingredients from Thunderstep’s cabin and shared them that things were manageable – otherwise, the students’ condition would have been even worse.
“We’ll probably finish all the meat by this weekend… We’ll need to hunt again on the weekend.”
“Will that be okay?”
“We should ask Nilia to come with us.”
At Lee Han’s words, Yoner nodded.
Certainly, having Nilia, a capable dark elf hunter, come along would be reassuring.
Of course, Nilia wasn’t present, and if she had heard, she would have been bewildered, thinking ‘Why me all of a sudden?!’…
“Professor Thunderstep is surprisingly petty.”
Lee Han grumbled.
Professor Thunderstep was a surprisingly stingy dwarf.
He allowed free use of the cabin, but was very strict about Lee Han taking things from inside.
It was fine to pick and eat things on the spot or cook and eat them, but if he tried to take anything away, the professor would launch into all sorts of nagging.
-Wait, that bread is what I baked to eat for dinner! No! When did you put jam in your pocket! Why are you trying to take that?
-But Professor, I tended the vegetable garden as you instructed, can’t I even take this?
-You just ate your fill! Why take more?! If you take everything every time you come, the cabin will go bankrupt!
“There are no gaps, so there doesn’t seem to be a way to sneak anything out.”
“Couldn’t we somehow create a gap…”
Yoner, who had said that, realized what he had just said and gasped in shock.
He was already being influenced by this school.
* * *
Troll Professor Garcia Kim smiled bitterly as he watched the students entering.
Being very interested in his students, Garcia could quickly notice subtle changes.
First.
As the first week since entering magic school was ending, the students were very starved and hungry.
While Garcia didn’t completely agree with the principal’s theory, there was nothing as effective as starvation for motivating students.
Hungry students would use all their strength to overcome the situation.
‘Everyone, hang in there.’
Second.
Tension between the towers was already beginning to show.
With students from different backgrounds gathered together, it was natural in a way for them to compete and antagonize each other.
Especially the 【Tower of the Arrogant Blue Dragon】 and 【Tower of the White Tiger that Bites Lightning】 never got along well.
Noble heirs born and raised in traditional great families vs knight heirs born and raised in the rough, desolate frontiers of the empire.
There was no way they could get along.
But according to the principal’s theory, this too was one of the things that made students sharp and quick.
The more they compete with each other, the stronger they become!
“Now. Everyone take your seats.”
Though not as shocking as when they first met, Professor Garcia still overflowed with intimidating presence.
It was natural, given his mixed troll blood.
Both Blue Dragon Tower students and White Tiger Tower students sat down obediently.
“Last time we learned the 【Light Creation】 magic. You all didn’t succeed, but there’s no need to be disappointed. The path of magic isn’t something that works just because you rush it. You’ll struggle at first, but once you learn the knack and get the feel for it, your skills will start improving rapidly. Now. Still, is there anyone who succeeded with 【Light Creation】 magic in the meantime?”
Lee Han raised his hand while suppressing a yawn.
‘He practiced all night.’
When all the other Blue Dragon Tower students claimed they had succeeded with 【Light Creation】 magic, Lee Han became extremely anxious.
Like a seasoned Korean, Lee Han couldn’t just sit still when falling behind others in competition.
In the end, Lee Han practiced 【Light Creation】 magic all night instead of sleeping.
If not for his tremendous mana capacity, he would have collapsed long ago, but Lee Han was fine no matter how much he used. He was just a little sleepy.
“…?”
Lee Han felt something was strange.
None of the surrounding students had raised their hands.
‘What?!’
“Ooh…”
“As expected of Wardanaz.”
“Amazing.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students clapped quietly with expressions mixing envy and pride.
Look at this, White Tiger Tower guys!
This is Wardanaz!
…Such emotions could be felt.
“Hey.”
Lee Han couldn’t understand no matter how much he thought about it, so he asked a student next to him.
It was definitely someone who had said he mastered light magic.
“You said you learned light magic?”
“Ah. Did you hear? Well… I almost succeeded but it wasn’t complete success. But at that level, it’s practically the same as being on the verge of success, so I said I mastered it.”
“…”
He’d been deceived!
‘These bluffing noble brats…!’
