Lee Han received those potions and carefully tucked them into his pouch.

“To receive such excellent potions, I’m so happy I could cry…”

“What brings you here? If there’s anything I can help you with, I’ll help with anything.”

Lee Han confessed to Priest Siana about the vicious trap hidden in the alchemy assignment.

Priest Siana listened with a cautious expression, then said “Ah” as if something had occurred to her.

“I thought some of the materials looked a bit strange, so I was planning to look up books later and compare them…”

“We’re all gathering materials together right now to experiment and see what the problem is. Would you like to join us? We really need the help of Priest Siana, who is unrivaled in alchemy.”

At Lee Han’s words, Priest Siana nodded without a moment’s hesitation.

“Of course I should help. I’ll bring the Phoenix Tower students!”

Watching the back of Priest Siana as she ran off excitedly, Lee Han thought.

‘If only White Tiger Tower were that easy, it would be so convenient…’

* * *

Black Turtle Tower was even easier.

Nilia and Ratford came out with their friends.

In fact, rather than persuading students to come out, it was harder to deal with the Black Turtle Tower students who were sitting in the black market crowding around.

They all thought Lee Han had brought something again and lined up trying to make exchanges first.

-Wardanaz! How about this sword staff?! Even White Tiger Tower students with just this!

-Get out of the way! Wardanaz. How about this golem evasion charm?!

In contrast, the White Tiger Tower students…

“It’s Wardanaz!”

“Never face him alone!”

“…”

Even when Durgyu, unable to watch anymore, went in to try to get his friends to come out, the White Tiger Tower students didn’t move easily.

Lee Han eventually gave up and returned.

‘Well… we have enough people even without those guys.’

With students from three towers gathered, there were plenty of spare materials.

Lee Han and Yoner, with Priest Siana’s help, separately collected the spare materials and measured the amounts precisely.

These were experimental materials to find the crafting method.

“Everything’s ready. I think we can test it like this.”

“Everyone worked hard.”

The students gathered in the room let out sighs.

To think they had to go through this trouble once more because of Professor Thunderstep’s mischie… no, trap.

“Wardanaz. Come to think of it, you’re going out tomorrow using your outing pass?”

“!”

The Blue Dragon Tower students knew Lee Han had received an outing pass, but students from other towers didn’t know.

Not only the Black Turtle Tower students but also all the Phoenix Tower students looked at Lee Han with surprised, wide eyes.

“You, you received an outing pass?!”

“As expected of Lord Wardanaz.”

“No, how do you get one? Do you have to catch a golem perhaps?”

“That’s not what’s important right now! Wardanaz. What are you planning to bring back??”

The students surrounded Lee Han in a circle.

While they were incredibly envious of going out for a Sunday, what was more important was what Lee Han would bring back from outside.

“From outside… if you can go outside, what should you bring back? There’s too much to choose from!”

“Ca, calm down and let’s organize things one by one.”

Lee Han himself was staying still, but his friends were making more of a fuss.

‘If you could go out, what should you buy and bring back from outside?’

“Definitely food. Sweet stuff that’s small in volume, as much as possible.”

“Let’s rent a carriage and bring it back, Wardanaz!”

“Don’t you remember from when we enrolled? Things like carriages won’t be permitted, right?”

“Food is good too, but how about clothes? Honestly, the clothes we’re wearing now aren’t clothes but rags.”

‘Aren’t they comfortable…?’

Nilia tilted her head.

Nilia tilted her head in confusion.

Nilia tilted her head in confusion.

Nilia tilted her head in confusion.

This seems like comfortable enough clothing…

“I definitely do want to wear sturdy and comfortable clothes.”

“Shoes too! And a hat and cloak! And also…”

Asan, who had been listening nearby, interjected.

“I need books and stationery like pens.”

“Moon card… What kind of nonsense is that? Can you eat books? Can you drink ink?”

“No. I like having something to eat too. But I’m serious about needing books.”

Asan was quite serious too.

As they prepared for their assignments, students were beginning to set foot in this magic school’s library one by one.

But naturally, this library was not one of those warm and cozy places where you could easily find books according to proper classification systems.

‘Who the hell organized this?

“At this rate, there’s a 95% chance we’ll collapse first before doing our assignments. We need to find at least basic textbooks needed for subjects.”

“Hmm… that might be a valid point.”

Even the students who had just been crying out for butter cookies, chocolate cookies, caramel waffles, milk roll wafers, maple syrup candy and other snacks nodded seriously.

“And it’s not just books, we need calculation artifacts too. I’m dying trying to calculate by hand.”

“That’s definitely a valid point too.”

“I’m bored with nothing to read, so I need some magazines or novels. New cards or chess boards too.”

“…?”

The friends were nodding but then stopped.

Something was strange.

“Gainando, you bastard! Would that be urgent right now!”

“It’s urgent, that’s why I said it! You guys say what you need, so why can’t I!”

“Guys. Wardanaz went to sleep.”

“?!”

Since he had to leave early Sunday morning, Lee Han went straight to his private room after finishing the alchemy assignment.

“I’m bored with nothing to read, so I need some magazines or novels too. And new cards or a chess board.”

The friends were nodding their heads when they suddenly hesitated.

Something was strange.

“You bastard! Is that really what’s urgent right now?!”

“I said it because it’s urgent! You guys can ask for what you need, so why can’t I!”

“Kids. Wardanaz went to bed.”

Since he had to leave early Sunday morning, Ihan went straight to his private room after finishing his alchemy assignment.

* * *

‘I can’t fall asleep.’

Lee Han was dumbfounded.

It wasn’t like he was some little kid, staying up the night before a field trip…

But this was quite different from the innocent anticipation of a field trip.

It was more like being nervous before a difficult exam.

‘Will I really be able to do well?’

Anyone watching might think he was taking some graduation exam, but Lee Han was serious.

Though it was a legitimate outing using an outing pass, Lee Han wasn’t letting his guard down.

This school surely had traps waiting.

‘Let me think. What problems might there be?’

Lee Han figured they would definitely prohibit using carriages or horses.

Just like during admission, the Principal wasn’t someone who would permit such things.

‘Surely they’ll allow what I can carry myself? I need to bring back as much as possible… How far is the nearest village?’

Distance was also something to consider.

During his first escape attempt, there had been a carriage, but not now.

This school was capable of placing villages farther than could be reached in a day and saying ‘go there and back in one day!’

‘Damn. I should have learned magic for moving quickly!’

Lee Han lamented.

If he had learned Physical Enhancement Magic, he wouldn’t need to worry about this.

…Of course, that wasn’t really a concern for a new student to have.

Flutter flutter flutter!

Flutter flutter flutter!

Crash!

Crash!

Suddenly, a book on the bookshelf popped out and opened on its own.

It was a black book without a cover, given by the skeleton principal.

Tentacles made of letters burst out from the black book and wrapped around Ihan.

“What…?”

Before he could even finish speaking, Ihan was already somewhere else.

A barren wasteland with nothing in the sky or on the distant horizon.

Lee Han could tell instinctively.

It was an illusion created by the black book.

Bang!

Pop!

The black book appeared before Lee Han. The black book fluttered in the air, revealing its pages.

Written on those pages was the magic Lee Han had been taught before but hadn’t completed: 【Gonadaltes’ Nimble Steps】.

“Now… you want me to learn this?”

The black book bobbed up and down. It seemed to mean yes.

“Don’t tell me you recommended this because you knew what I was worried about?”

The black book bobbed up and down again.

The sight was somewhat cute, making Lee Han feel slightly better.

It was more thoughtful than he’d expected.

“Wait. I don’t have time to learn this now. I have to go out tomorrow. Send me back.”

The black book stopped upright in the air, then very slowly shook from side to side.

It seemed to be getting serious.

“…”

Lee Han regretted thinking it was thoughtful just moments ago.

A book given by the Principal couldn’t be that normal, could it?

…Blaze up!

“…Blaze up!“

…Blaze up!
…Burn bright!

Lee Han tried casting fire magic.

However, the magic wouldn’t activate. The black book shrugged and opened its pages again.

It seemed to be saying he couldn’t use anything other than 【Gonadaltes’ Nimble Steps】.

“…”

Lee Han sighed and readjusted his grip on his staff.

* * *

Prisoner number 24601!

Prisoner number 24601!

Prisoner number 24601!

“Um. Master. I’m not a prisoner.”

Prisoner number 24601!

Prisoner number 24601!

“Um. Master. I’m not a prisoner, though.”

Oh right. That’s right. Sorry about that. At my age, I get confused sometimes.

Listening to the conversation between the Skeleton Principal and his summoned creature, Lee Han yawned.

He wasn’t particularly shocked by that level of conversation anymore.

The black book had forcibly dragged Lee Han into illusion training, but fortunately it hadn’t stolen his sleep.

After all, he had trained in his dreams.

Of course, being mentally tired was unavoidable…

‘I hate that I’m feeling grateful for even this much.’

Congratulations on your outing, Wardanaz! This is a well-deserved reward for your achievements, so you should be proud!

“I understand.”

Then give it your best shot!

Ihan was puzzled.

‘The rules are more lenient than I thought?’

Lee Han had prepared himself for spending limits, cargo weight restrictions, and cargo volume restrictions.

But there were none.

What’s going on?

* * *

Lee Han ran with all his might.

Thanks to that, he was able to reach his destination when the sun rose overhead.

Philone Village.

It was the village closest to the magic school.

“…So you’re saying there are no noble family manors in this village right now?”

“Tsk tsk. You must be a student who escaped from the magic school. That’s how it is originally. When the semester starts, people from the school come out and tell them to move their manors far away.”

“…”

The Imperial Great Houses didn’t just leave the school when the semester started.

They would buy manors in nearby villages in preparation for vacations and have servants and slaves waiting there.

It was a waste of money typical of great houses, but Lee Han had been counting on that.

He had planned to visit them with the silver coin ledger containing the students’ signatures to secure some pocket money…

Lee Han was at a loss for words.

‘What a crazy school.’

“Then where did those manors go?”

“Over there to Granden City.”

“How long does it take to get to Granden City…?”

“You’d have to ride a horse for several days…”

“…”

Lee Han realized why they didn’t bother setting amount limits, weight limits, or volume limits.

They had blocked all means for students to secure money from the start.

So that if any student who escaped reached the nearest Philone Village, they would realize their mistake and despair!

“…Do they really have to go this far??”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing.”

It’s nothing.

“It’s nothing.”

It’s nothing.

Lee Han raised his head.

Now that it’s come to this, I will never back down.

“Where is the nearest building upstairs from here?”

“The building upstairs? That street over there is pretty far… Why?”

“I will borrow money.”

The villagers were horrified.

No matter how I look at it, he seems like a boy from a noble family…

‘Is it really okay?’
