Chapter 430
As Lee Han stepped inside through the ladder, the priests hurriedly climbed up after him.
Priest Siana carefully looked around the interior.
The spacious room had an antique atmosphere flowing through it.
Antique furniture, soft velvet curtains, and plush carpet decorated the room, while somewhere a gramophone artifact with a horn was producing music.
“Ah. Such a luxurious place can only be a professor’s lounge…”
Priest Siana looked at Lee Han as if she understood.
She had wondered how he knew this was a professor’s lounge, but he must have deduced it from this scenery.
As expected of the Wardanaz family boy.
“No. It says ‘Professor-Only Lounge’ at the entrance over there.”
Professor-Only Lounge
-Students absolutely forbidden from entering from the founding until the end of the world!-
Osyu Gonadaltes
“…”
“Aha.”
The priests nodded their heads after seeing the brass nameplate hanging at the entrance.
Anyone could see it was a professor-only lounge.
“So what do we do now?”
Priest Siana asked with a voice full of disappointment.
What could they do in such a lounge that wasn’t a storage room or library?
“Huh? We need to gather useful stuff. Everyone take out your backpacks.”
Lee Han immediately took out his backpack and started sweeping up the professors’ snacks first.
It took less than a minute for the tea leaves, coffee grounds, and various snacks in the lounge to disappear.
The priests watched with mesmerized expressions as he packed everything tightly into his backpack without gaps, with the skill of an experienced thief.
“Is there spatial magic cast on it??”
“No. I just packed it well layer by layer. Now that we’ve got food, next are reagents and artifacts. Look for anything useful.”
“How about this gramophone artifact? If we could listen to music in the dormitory lounge, that would be truly tremendous luxury…”
“No. It’s too bulky. And listening to music won’t fill your stomach. Let’s find something else.”
Priest Nigisor and Priest Siana both looked dejected at the same time.
They wanted to pray while listening to music!
“I found a reagent box here.”
“Excellent. Priest Tiziling. You have talent as a thief.”
“…Thank you? Wait, is it okay to take all of this? If the professors need to use it…”
Holding a bronze box engraved with small cauldron pieces, Priest Tiziling hesitated.
She was worried that taking the entire reagent box from the lounge might cause trouble for the professors.
“If they need to use it, they’ll figure out how to get it themselves. We have to figure things out for ourselves too.”
However, Lee Han mercilessly took the box and put it in his backpack.
Students had to go outside to get reagents when they needed them, so how would professors be any different?
Besides, professors could just go outside and buy them.
“If it were really important to them, they would have hidden it themselves.”
“Well said. Priest Nigisor.”
Clap!
Lee Han and Priest Nigisor high-fived each other and looked for the next item to permanently relocate.
“?”
Lee Han, who was about to move to another room along the passage, tilted his head.
‘What’s this?’
The room itself was just one of several rooms located in the lounge…
But there was something peculiar inside.
It was a bulletin board made of carved wood, sitting alone in the room.
Monday
9:00~11:00
11:00~1:00
1:00~3:00
There’s no break time!
Someone please help me learn automatic defense enchantment! I can’t make progress!
Go eat candy, Vible
Looking for someone to lend me lecture time.
I’ll say it again, there’s still no break time. If I see anyone trying to add more, I’m not joking – I’ll send a complaint to His Imperial Majesty.
…Everyone please respect Professor Garcia’s words.
‘Is this the professors’ lecture schedule?’
Lee Han fell into thought as he read the memos written on the bulletin board.
Since professors’ names appeared, it seemed like a lecture schedule, but there were several phrases he couldn’t understand.
‘Maybe I can’t understand because they’re professors’ codes or jargon?’
Besides the written memos, there were also several erased memos.
Enchantment magic is too lacking
Orthodox illusion magic? (Not sure if they’ll teach it)
Basic telekinesis control O
Advanced water element O
Lightning element O
Ice element O
Wait, you did all of this???
Steel transformation O
Rotation property enchantment △
Professor. Let’s talk for a moment.
‘Must be a list of upperclassmen lectures.’
That’s what Lee Han thought, but somehow it bothered him strangely.
‘What is it? It’s too far ahead to preview…’
Click-
With the sound of a doorknob turning, the door at the end of the lounge passage opened and Professor Garcia entered, carrying an armful of books.
“…”
“…”
“I came to run an errand for Professor Verdus.”
* * *
If it weren’t for the priests behind him, Professor Garcia would have almost been fooled by Lee Han’s words.
That’s how talented the Wardanaz family boy was at saying outrageous things with a serious face.
“Student Lee Han… what are you doing here.”
“If you give me time, I can explain.”
“Never mind. I think I know even without an explanation.”
Professor Garcia sighed deeply and put down the books he was holding: <How to Become Friends Without Scaring the Other Person> and <Communication Methods for Fear-Inducing Species>.
“You came here while taking a night walk, right?”
“Yes…”
“Even so, to fearlessly enter a professor’s lounge…”
Professor Garcia didn’t scold him too harshly.
Einroguard’s whims always exceeded expectations, and even excellent mages unfamiliar with the school would sometimes get lost.
It wasn’t surprising for a student to get lost during a night walk and end up in a strange place.
Of course, this was the first time he’d seen someone come to the professor-only lounge…
“So how did you get here? Did you happen to meet a headless knight in the corridor who offered to guide you? You shouldn’t trust that knight.”
“…”
Lee Han resolved to never trust a headless knight if he met one in the night corridors.
“We entered from the Spider Web Lake.”
“…You went into Cobweb Lake!?”
Professor Garcia was so startled that she put down the book she was about to pick up again.
This was truly unexpected.
“Do you know where that place is!? Even if you float a boat, it would sink!”
“I made an ice boat with magic.”
“Ah.”
Professor Garcia finally remembered belatedly what kind of disciple her disciple was.
Indeed, with that level of ability, it would have been entirely possible to devise a way to cross Cobweb Lake.
“How did you find the way? Did you get a map? The sirens must have bothered you, right?”
“…”
Lee Han resolved that next time he went to 【Cobweb Lake】, he would definitely prepare an artifact to block his ears.
“Well… there were no sirens. They all ran away because the water spirits are about to go wild.”
“Ah. It’s already that time.”
“?”
Lee Han was flustered when Professor Garcia accepted it so calmly.
“Professor. From what I know, Einroguard is a place with very powerful magical ley lines… and thanks to that, the spirits’ power is also strong. If such spirits go wild, wouldn’t there be a flood?”
This time it was Professor Garcia’s turn to be flustered.
“Ah. That’s right. Sorry. It might be inconvenient for the students. They’ll have to row to get to lectures every time.”
“…”
“…”
The students who had suddenly glimpsed the future were dumbfounded.
They had no idea what would happen if Einroguard had a major flood…
So that’s what happens!
“After being at Einroguard for a long time, you keep getting used to strange things. After seeing floods several times, I ended up reacting like that. Sorry for speaking so indifferently.”
“Oh, no.”
“Wait. But who told you?”
When Professor Garcia asked with curiosity, Lee Han confessed about meeting the Unbreakable One.
Professor Garcia’s face brightened after hearing the whole story.
“Ah. You met that Unbreakable One? It’s cute, right?”
“?”
Priest Nigisor and Priest Siana held questions in their eyes, but Lee Han poked each priest in the ribs with lightning-fast movements.
“Yes. It was cute.”
“Ugh. It’s cute.”
“Eek. It was cute.”
When everyone agreed, Professor Garcia seemed slightly excited.
“Usually it’s hard to see an Unbreakable One raised to that extent.”
“Did you perhaps bring it, Professor?”
“…No, I didn’t? What are you talking about, Student Lee Han?”
‘So it’s not the Professor.’
When Professor Garcia firmly denied it, Lee Han believed her words.
Unlike the Skeleton Principal, Professor Garcia wasn’t someone who would lie.
“Anyway… you came to gather supplies after hearing about the flood.”
Professor Garcia looked at the students as if she felt sorry for them.
Priest Tijiling fidgeted with her lips, feeling guilty. It wasn’t particularly because of the flood that they had come.
“The faculty lounge probably doesn’t have much to gather.”
“That’s right. It’s quite disappointing.”
“???”
The priests looked at Lee Han’s backpack that had become heavy.
‘Isn’t that already a lot gathered?’
‘I don’t think so.’
“Everyone wait a moment. There were some waterproof cloths somewhere.”
Professor Garcia began rummaging through the lounge closet to gather something for the students.
“Would it be good to have sea stones too? It might still be difficult to use… No. If it’s Student Lee Han, he’d learn and use it quickly, right?”
“Yes?”
“Other than that… there are scrolls too… No. This would also be fine for Student Lee Han, right?”
“Yes??”
Lee Han raised his voice as if asking her to listen, but Professor Garcia paid no attention.
Click-
When the sound of the lounge door opening came from the opposite side, Professor Garcia quickly pulled the four students into her arms, shoved them into the closet, closed the door, then cast magic to erase any signs of presence.
Even while being shoved into the closet at super high speed, Lee Han couldn’t help but admire Professor Garcia’s magic.
‘Amazing…!’
To clean up the messy surroundings and cast a concealment barrier over the closet with a single wand movement.
“This… isn’t this a big problem??”
Priest Siana whispered in terror. Lee Han shook his head.
“We haven’t been caught yet, so it’s still okay.”
“…”
His friends looked at the back of Lee Han’s head in shock, but Lee Han was too focused on what was happening outside the closet to notice.
Professor Garcia. You’re working hard.
“It’s my pleasure.”
So stop listening to those wicked bastards’ requests.
“…”
Professor Garcia was bothered by the Skeleton Principal badmouthing other professors and glanced at the closet.
Originally, badmouthing other professors whenever he was bored was the Skeleton Principal’s hobby, but it was somewhat embarrassing to do in front of students.
“Principal. Still, the professors didn’t have bad intentions…”
No. Vible is wicked. Just a wicked bastard. No matter how much he tries to be good, he’s wicked.
“…”
What’s this?
The Skeleton Principal was puzzled to see that the tin can containing tea leaves was empty.
Not only that, but the coffee grounds were also completely empty.
‘Professor Garcia must be under a lot of stress.’
The Skeleton Principal looked at Professor Garcia with pitying eyes.
Professor Verdus would feel bad about using tea leaves three times, but if it was Professor Garcia, it would be fine even if she poured tea leaves into a bucket and drank it.
It felt like yesterday when she was a small student, but now she had become a proper professor suffering from other professors…
Wait. Professor Garcia. Have you seen a reagent box by any chance? A bronze box with small cauldron fragments engraved on it.
“I haven’t seen it? What is it?”
I prepared it to use during this spirit flood… Damn it. I know.
The Skeleton Principal made a bone-clacking sound as if he understood.
Professor Garcia tensed up.
Lee Han also tensed up.
Vible! That bastard really! I told him not to touch other people’s things!
“…Maybe it’s not him?”
