Chapter 042
The explosion of unrefined mana dealt a fatal blow to Garakse who took it head-on, but it also shocked Lee Han at the same time.
Lee Han was sent flying backward as his entire body shook from the impact.
‘Ugh…!’
It was a much stronger shock than when he had properly received Alarlong’s sword strike.
Lee Han regretted it.
‘Did I pour in too much mana?!’
He had thought he needed to finish off his opponent for certain, so he had poured in mana with all his might, but an unexpected result had occurred that even Lee Han hadn’t anticipated.
His body wouldn’t move due to the shock.
Fortunately, all the enemies had collapsed as well…
“Student Lee Han!”
Professor Garcia came running hurriedly from the distance.
Lee Han was puzzled by that sight.
‘The remaining attackers should have been attacking the professor?’
The answer to that question became clear immediately.
Around Professor Garcia, the attackers were sprawled out crushed as if they had been severely beaten with giant hammers.
Professor Garcia’s fists were also stained with blood, but no matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t his own blood.
‘Oh right… he’s a troll hybrid…’
Lee Han felt slightly regretful.
Even if Lee Han hadn’t stepped forward, Professor Garcia might have just beaten the attackers with his fists.
Being from the troll race which was inherently strong, his physical specs were amazing even without being able to use magic.
How dare these bastards!
How dare these bastards!
How dare they!
How dare they!
I could see a giant skull flying from the direction of the school, accompanied by a green light in the sky.
Normally, he would have gotten goosebumps at the sight of the principal, but Ihan felt relieved.
‘I guess I can rest a bit.’
Lee Han closed his eyes and lay down. His whole body was throbbing, and he just wanted to rest deeply.
The skeleton principal hurried over with Professor Voladi.
The imperial anti-mages were a bunch who grew insidiously like mold or poisonous mushrooms.
Those bastards attacking a school professor.
I’m sorry, Professor Garcia Kim. My lack of ability has put you in danger.
“Oh, no sir, Gonadaltes. If it’s the Imperial Anti-Mages, especially those belonging to the Twilight Dawn Order, preventing it beforehand would have been difficult for anyone.”
Professor Garcia was rather flustered by the Skeleton Principal’s serious apology, which he hadn’t seen in a long time.
Professor Boladi, who was beside them, opened his mouth.
“I don’t think that’s right. If you’re the principal of this school, you should be able to prevent such things.”
“…”
…
Professor Garcia looked at Professor Boladi as if dumbfounded.
Just like a professor who couldn’t handle social situations at all, in a situation like this…!
The Skeleton Principal also wanted to hit him once but held back. This incident was indeed his own fault.
I should have thoroughly searched the surroundings. How shameful. That thing… is it an ancient artifact?
I should have thoroughly searched the surroundings. How shameful. That thing… is it an ancient artifact?
“Yes. It was a powerful artifact that absorbed all the magic in the surrounding area.”
They prepared very thoroughly.
They prepared very thoroughly.
I should have thoroughly explored the surroundings. How embarrassing. Is that… an ancient artifact?

“Yes. It was a powerful artifact that absorbed all the magic in the surrounding area.”
You prepared very thoroughly.
Professor Boladi said, looking at the swordsman who was on the verge of death.
This one was famous even within the Twilight Dawn Order.
He was so excellent in anti-mage combat that he earned the nickname ‘Magic Killer’…
He’s still breathing. I’ll take him to my prison. I need to dig through his brain to extract information about the Twilight Dawn Order. By the way…
He’s still breathing. I’ll take him to my prison. I need to dig through his brain to extract information about the Twilight Dawn Order. By the way…
The Skeleton Principal looked over the surrounding battlefield with fresh eyes.
He could tell at a glance that it was Professor Garcia’s handiwork that had roasted and fried most of the attackers with lightning magic and other spells.
For a professor who wasn’t skilled in magical combat, he had done well without destroying the surroundings.
However, there were other sights that caught his eye among them.
Signs of cutting and stabbing with a sword, or defeating opponents with telekinesis magic.
He could tell at a glance who had done it. It was the Wardanaz family boy who was now collapsed and unconscious as if he had fainted.
Still breathing, I see. I’ll take him to my prison. I need to dig into his brain and extract information about the Twilight Dawn. Speaking of which…
Still breathing. I’ll take him to my prison. I need to dig into his brain and extract information about the Twilight Dawn organization. By the way…
The skeleton principal surveyed the surrounding battlefield with a renewed gaze.
It was obvious at a glance that it was Professor Garcia’s handiwork that had roasted and fried most of the attackers with lightning magic and other spells.
He was a professor who wasn’t skilled in magical combat, so I thought it was impressive that he managed to use it well without destroying his surroundings.
However, among them were other aspects that caught the eye.
Scenes of cutting and stabbing with swords, or defeating opponents with telekinetic magic.
It was obvious at a glance who had done this. It was the boy from the Wardanaz family, who had now collapsed and fallen unconscious as if he had fainted.
‘Why is that guy from the Wordanaz family so good at swordsmanship?’
To face off against Garakse and bring him down, no matter how lucky you were, you still needed real skill.
The skeleton principal found it strange, but didn’t bother to wake him up and ask.
Originally, mages didn’t just do magic. Each had their own hobbies.
Some people do horseback riding, others do knitting…
That could be swordsmanship.
Perhaps noticing the skeleton principal’s gaze, Professor Garcia opened his mouth to speak.
“It would have been really dangerous if student Lee Han from the Wardanaz family hadn’t helped us. Thanks to him, we were able to finish without any of the other workers getting hurt.”
Yes. You have talent. To not panic in that situation and successfully cast magic… you have a gift for magical combat. Professor Voladi, did you teach him this? Impressive.
Moreover, listening to Professor Garcia’s words, each and every fighting method made the Skeleton Principal admire him.
If he had won simply because he was strong, or if he had won because he knew how to use a lot of magic, it wouldn’t have been particularly surprising.
But this Wardanaz family boy had won by using his head while being weaker than his opponent and in an unfavorable situation.
That was a talent only good mages could possess.
How coveted!
The Skeleton Principal suddenly felt as if his non-existent knuckles were itching.
That vampire professor was saying “Someone like Yi-han should naturally be able to do that much,” but the skeleton principal naturally disagreed.
It was such a remarkable achievement that even the skeleton headmaster, who was stingy with praise, couldn’t help but give his approval.
A freshman who just enrolled is struggling like this against the notoriously infamous Imperial anti-mages.
Moreover, according to Professor Garcia, each and every fighting technique made the skeleton headmaster marvel in admiration.
If he had won simply because he was strong, or because he knew how to use a lot of magic, it wouldn’t have been particularly surprising.
However, this boy from the Wardanaz family, despite being weaker than his opponent and in a disadvantageous situation, used his wits to achieve victory.
It was a talent that only good wizards could possess.
I want it!
The skeleton principal suddenly felt as if his nonexistent knuckles were itching.
In his heart, he wanted to take the boy to his workshop in the old-fashioned way and make him his direct disciple to teach personally.
Originally, ancient mages used to pass down knowledge through the one-person transmission method, where they would pass everything down to one brilliant chief disciple.
Of course, in times like these, he couldn’t do such a thing.
If he did such a thing to the Wardanaz family boy, complaints would come from the professors, the Wardanaz family, and even the Emperor.
-Principal! Mages don’t just need to learn magic. Don’t you know how harmful twisted and eccentric mages who only learned magic without social interaction can be!
-Osyu Gonadaltes. If I could teach magic that way, I would have taught it myself. Can’t you do better than that? What a pathetic fellow.
-Osyu. I provided funding to the school to nurture and raise talents who would become pillars of the Empire, not to raise damn lunatics. What are you doing with precious talent? Are you complaining to me?
…It seemed that learning one-on-one from an Archmage had too high a possibility of destroying and twisting that disciple’s character.
‘This era truly makes things troublesome for me.’
The Skeleton Principal sighed with regret.
What could he do? It was a rule he had made himself.
Anyway, since the Wardanaz family boy had entered the school, there would be many opportunities to encounter and teach him in the future.
The Skeleton Principal earnestly hoped this Wardanaz family boy would come under his tutelage in a few years.
If that happened, he could research and pass down all sorts of forbidden secret arts and knowledge!
Clean up the scene. Give the workers reward money for this incident. They deserve it. Don’t forget to collect that ancient artifact too.

The Skeleton Principal gave orders to his summoned creatures.
They had to clean up all traces so the villages around the magic school wouldn’t be uneasy.
Professor Boladi. What are you doing?
Professor Boladi. What are you doing?
Professor Boladi. What are you doing?
The Skeleton Principal asked with a curious gaze.
Professor Boladi was carefully observing a fallen attacker.
“Some of these attackers here were struck by a peculiar form of attack, so I was investigating.”
Hmm. Indeed… What method did the Wardanaz family kid use to take them down?

Hmm. Indeed… What method did the Wardanaz family kid use to take them down?
Professor Boladi and the Skeleton Principal pondered together.
Wounds from being cut or stabbed with a sword, or injuries from being shot with iron balls could be distinguished immediately.
But some attackers had wounds that looked like they had been pummeled by a giant hammer.
What on earth was it?
‘Could he have controlled rocks? With the 【Low-Level Control】 spell?? Even with overflowing mana, that would be impossible… Could he have actually done it?’
“…Th, those are the ones I knocked down with my fists. Everyone.”
Professor Garcia raised her hand with an embarrassed expression.
* * *
When Lee Han woke up on the soft bed, the first thing that entered his sight was the Skeleton Principal’s skull.
‘Is this a nightmare?’
“Student Lee Han. You really went through a lot.”
Professor Garcia was also beside him.
“Oh, no. I only did what I had to do.”
Even so, merit is merit. Well done.
Even so, merit is merit. Well done.
Even so, merit is merit. Well done.
“Thank you.”
Of course, trying to escape the school is a separate matter.
Of course, trying to escape the school is a separate matter.
Of course, trying to escape the school is a separate matter.
‘Damn.’
Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.
His hatred for the Imperial Anti-Mages surged anew.
If not for those bastards, he would be in the village by now!
Professor Garcia spoke with an apologetic expression.
“I’m sorry. Student Lee Han. Even though you performed so well…”
What’s there to be sorry about? Rules are rules. Rewards are rewards. Punishments are punishments. More importantly, how did you break through the underground warehouse passage? It’s not a place you can pass through in just a week?

The Skeleton Principal asked as if genuinely curious.
The storage behind the central staircase on the main building’s first floor was a place many new students challenged.
Even aside from escape attempts, the food storage was a place starving students wanted to reach even if it meant selling their souls.
The Skeleton Principal knew this, so he would scatter keys that could access the area behind the main building’s central staircase.
But to break through the underground warehouse passage from there.
That was something even the Skeleton Principal hadn’t expected.
Even if he had shown steel-like self-control in that vast warehouse and touched nothing, how did he get past the warehouse keeper?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Lee Han kept his mouth shut and played dumb.
Since he was already caught, he had to deny it to the end no matter what.
The Skeleton Principal read Lee Han’s thoughts and chuckled.
You’re really not an ordinary fellow. But too bad. You won’t be able to use the underground warehouse passage again.

‘Damn!’
Suddenly the Skeleton Principal’s voice became serious.
Listen. Lee Han of Wardanaz Family. For fighting against the Imperial Anti-Mages this time to protect the workers and professor, I express sincere gratitude on behalf of the school.

“…!”
As a token of gratitude, I shall bestow upon you the famous sword, ‘Dawn Star’.

“Thank y… wait, isn’t this the sword the enemy was carrying?”
Lee Han was so flustered that he couldn’t ask ‘Is it okay to just give a real sword to a hot-blooded student?’ That’s what he should have asked first.
Should I destroy it then?
Should I destroy it then?
Should I destroy it then?
“You have a point. I’ll use it well.”
Lee Han was convinced in one second.
‘I’ll sell it later.’
Professor Garcia was slightly taken aback. He had been convinced too quickly.
If Lee Han had refused to the end, she was going to persuade him by saying ‘This sword is not at fault, only the person who used it was evil, please use the sword properly and guide it to the righteous path’…
And take this too. It’s an outing pass.
And take this too. It’s an outing pass.
And take this too. It’s an Outing Pass.
“…!!”
Lee Han was much more delighted than when he received the sword.
The Skeleton Principal was bewildered to see the boy, who always maintained an expressionless face and rarely showed emotions, jumping with joy.
That sword is much more precious!
“Thank you! Principal. I will serve with utmost loyalty!”
Y, yes.
Y, yes.
Y, yes.
It was such madness that even the Skeleton Principal was slightly overwhelmed.
