Chapter 044
For a while, only silence could be heard from the adjacent room.
Lee Han wondered if he had said something wrong and asked cautiously.
“Did I make some mistake?”
“Oh, no. I was just a little surprised. A new student… quite capable.”
“But I got caught?”
‘Crazy bastard, if you didn’t get caught there, you should be the principal…’
The other person thought so.
If Imperial Anti-Mages had come, it was no ordinary matter.
Even the school’s outstanding professors would have gone out to fight them.
In such a situation, to fight alongside them and then want to avoid getting caught. That was too shameless even for someone without conscience.
“What were you doing when you got brought in, senior?”
“Senior? Stop with the embarrassing titles. You can call me casually. We’ll all be the same mages after graduation anyway.”
“Got it. So what were you doing when you got brought in?”
“…”
The person beyond the wall suddenly became very curious about Lee Han’s face.
What the hell is this guy?
“I failed an experiment and got brought in.”
“What? You come to the punishment room for failing experiments??”
Lee Han was shocked.
Isn’t that really too much?
However, the person beyond the wall was calm.
“Nothing to be surprised about. You’ll find out later too.”
The fourth year student confessed what had happened.
There were materials needed for the magic experiment he was currently researching, but he had failed to obtain them within the time limit.
So the fourth year student had targeted one of the Principal’s secret warehouses, broke in, and made off with reagents.
But he failed to completely break through the Principal’s traps, and was eventually caught and dragged to the punishment room.
“…?”
Lee Han, who had been listening, paused.
‘Didn’t he get brought in for failing an experiment?’
That’s just getting caught stealing, isn’t it?
But Lee Han didn’t point this out. Originally, staying in graduate school for a long time breaks down a person’s common sense.
Even if the magic school senior’s common sense was broken, it wasn’t the senior’s fault. It was the magic school’s fault.
“From what I can see, with your level of ability, various professors will covet you, so you’d better be careful in advance. Be careful not to fail when doing experiments.”
“I’ll keep that in mind. But I don’t really plan to stay at school for long.”
“How modest.”
“No, I really don’t plan to stay long…”
“Right. Of course. You seem quite like a model student, are you perhaps from Blue Tower? No, that can’t be.”
“…”
Since it seemed like the other person wouldn’t listen no matter what he said, Lee Han gave up.
However, he couldn’t help feeling ominous for some reason.
“Senior. Can I ask you something more?”
“Go ahead.”
“The underground passage seems like it’ll be hard to break through again, is there perhaps another way to get out?”
At Lee Han’s question, a snorting sound could be heard from next door.
“Of course there is. But junior. Aren’t you wanting too much? Why should I teach you that?”
Instead of answering, Lee Han lifted his head from the wall and shouted toward the door.
“Guard!”
“!?”
The student next door was startled and straightened his posture.
What is this bastard doing!?
Don’t tell me he wants to die together?!
-What is it?
“Could you perhaps deliver this to the adjacent room?”
-I understand.
-Got it.
-I understand.
-Got it.
I tried it just in case, and surprisingly, the undead summon readily agreed to the request.
I also had the gift from the professor brought in and examined it, and it worked out.
A basket containing cookies, hot black tea, and sugar was carried to the next room.
Crash!
Within a week of enrollment, he had secured a passage to get outside, actually succeeded (if not for the natural disaster), when locked in the punishment room he had manipulated other students from the tower to send gifts like this, and above all, he was skilled enough to secure such provisions…
‘Isn’t this bastard from a crime guild??’
Black Turtle Tower sometimes admitted students who had committed crimes, and suspicion arose that Lee Han might be such a case.
A big shot at that!
Otherwise, it was an ability that couldn’t be explained.
“Anyway, senior. Won’t this do?”
“…No. It’s fine. Having received this, I can tell you.”
The student beyond the wall cleared his throat.
Not only had he received an unexpected gift, but if the other person was really from a crime guild, there was nothing good about earning resentment for no reason.
If he were to be tracked down later for revenge…
“But before I tell you, let’s be clear about this. Even we fourth years don’t know all the methods for escaping outside the school. There are tons of guys who have never succeeded even once.”
Since some outings were allowed after the first year, among the upperclassmen there were many people who had never succeeded in escaping even once.
In fact, most people were like that. Secretly escaping from school was that difficult.
‘…But to think a first year would succeed.’
“The method I know is one I heard from above, and I’ve never tried it myself. I don’t know whether it’s possible to succeed or not.”
According to what the student beyond the wall said, in one of the spires at the top of the main building, there was a special stable.
A stable for flying beasts!
It was a resting place for beasts that professors rode and eagles of officials delivering imperial edicts.
The beasts there received special protection and could fly over the school’s castle walls.
“The problem is that they probably didn’t make it so you can just ride those beasts however you want.”
“…”
That was certainly true.
Just as there was a warehouse keeper in the storage, there would be something in the stables too.
‘But it’s not bad.’
Just having a method was quite hopeful.
Besides, wasn’t that method one that someone had succeeded with before?
“The problem is that they probably wouldn’t have made it so that just anyone could ride those beasts.”
That was definitely the case.
Just as there is a keeper in a warehouse, there must be something in the stable as well.
‘But it’s not bad.’
Just the fact that there was a way was quite hopeful.
Besides, isn’t that method one that someone has already succeeded with before?
Then Lee Han would also have a high chance of success.
“Thanks. Senior.”
‘…Th, this bastard… he came up with a method just from hearing this?! What the hell?!’
The misunderstanding of The Other Person beyond the wall deepened even further.
* * *
-You are released. Lee Han of Wardanaz Family.
After a day passed, an Undead Summon opened the door for him.
Before walking out into the corridor, Lee Han put a few more chocolates into the adjacent room.
Thanks to the senior whose face he didn’t know, he was able to hear various stories.
Strangely, as time went on, The Other Person spoke less and hesitated more, but Lee Han thought it was probably because he was annoyed.
Anyone would be annoyed if someone they barely knew kept talking to them, wouldn’t they?
Nevertheless, he was only grateful that they had answered him.
‘I should thank them if I meet them later.’
Lee Han went through the same complicated process as when he entered, winding around to get outside.
Outside the main building, the darkness was dispersing and the sun was slowly rising.
‘Hmm. It looks like a kitchen.’
Lee Han entered Blue Dragon Tower and headed to his personal room, where he was newly surprised by the appearance of his room.
It looked like a well-organized kitchen or grocery store.
It looked even more so because he had neatly stored away all the food supplies he had received from various places.
Various seasonings and condiments like salt, sugar, and tea leaves stacked on the shelves, and fruit preserves like apricots, peaches, and pineapples.
There were also more filling bean preserves, salmon preserves, and salted beef preserves.
It seemed like Lee Han alone could easily eat for several weeks.
‘I could seriously do business with this.’
For now, he decided to think about how to do business later, and Lee Han opened the door and stepped out.
Since he woke up early in the morning, he was planning to go to the stables and try the assignment Professor Lightningstep had given.
“Lee Han?”
As he was preparing to leave the common room, a red-haired girl who was coming down yawning was startled.
“Where have you been for a whole day!?”
“Punishment room. Didn’t the professors tell you?”
“Yeah. Professor Garcia said you were resting because you got hurt while achieving a great feat.”
“…”
Lee Han thought he understood why Professor Garcia had lied for him.
Honor was more important than one might think to boys and girls from great families.
Since Lee Han was also from Wardanaz Family, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if it became known that he went to the punishment room for committing a wrongdoing?
Moreover, he hadn’t even committed a wrongdoing – it was because he was helping Professor Garcia.
“No. I got caught trying to sneak out of school and went to the punishment room.”
Of course, Lee Han didn’t care about such things at all. Fortunately, Yoner didn’t care about such things either.
“Why did you go alone?”
“The information wasn’t certain, so I wanted to check it out first.”
“Let’s go together next time. Two people are better than one.”
“Should we bring Nilia too?”
“Yeah. That’s a good idea. Let’s bring Nilia too.”
Nilia, who wasn’t present, was forcibly signed up, but the two didn’t care about such details.
Yoner tilted her head and asked.
“So what exactly happened?”
While walking to the stables, Lee Han slowly began explaining what had happened.
His speculation about the underground passage and the method to pass through it, and the storage and the Warehouse Keeper who was guarding the storage.
Yoner listened quietly with her eyes widened in surprise.
“So I came outside and there were people waiting.”
“The Principal?”
“No. Imperial Anti-Mages.”
“!??”
Yoner was startled.
What Professor Garcia had said wasn’t a joke but the truth.
Anti-Magic Extremists were hiding around the school.
“Then you really did achieve a great feat?!”
“And I went to the punishment room.”
“…Why??”
Yoner couldn’t understand.
Why on earth?
* * *
There were several students who had arrived first at the stables. They were all Black Turtle Tower students.
The Black Turtle Tower students who saw Lee Han and Yoner flinched and then slowly backed away.
Yoner didn’t seem to care much, but Lee Han was slightly hurt.
‘This custom of judging people by their appearance and family should disappear!’
Of course, the Black Turtle Tower students were afraid not only because of his family but also because they had heard rumors about Lee Han, but Lee Han didn’t know that much.
“Excuse me…”
“!”
When someone among the Black Turtle Tower students spoke to him, Lee Han brightened up.
Was it Nilia?
However, it wasn’t Nilia. The one who spoke was the rat beastman, Ratford.
“Good morning, Lord Wardanaz.”
Lee Han was flustered by the attitude as if he was respectfully serving a superior.
Anyone who saw this would think he was being forced through threats!
“Hey. Treat me casually.”
“This is more comfortable for me.”
For Ratford, who had lived by the law of the strong preying on the weak in the thieves’ guild, speaking casually to a superior was actually more difficult.
Thorough hierarchy and obedience.
That was true comfort.
“…”
Lee Han shook his head as he saw the eyes of the Black Turtle Tower students fill with even more fear.
‘This is hopeless.’
“Alright. I understand.”
Lee Han half-gave up and looked at Ratford. Actually, Lee Han was also curious about what had happened after the fight ended last time.
Since Lee Han had collapsed right after it ended…
“What happened after that ended?”
“Yes. I was hiding as you instructed during the fight. After it ended, the Principal arrived with other professors.”
“Well done. It’s better than getting hurt by stepping forward unnecessarily.”
“The workers were also distracted, and it seemed like an opportunity, so I rummaged through the boxes in the carriage, picked the locks, and took things that looked useful. I had to hide them on my body, so I could only choose small things, but I brought them to offer to you.”
Ratford held out a small box. Inside it, medicine bottles were clinking.
“…”
Lee Han was speechless with admiration.
‘A real professional thief is definitely different!’
