The Blue Dragon Tower students who arrived late looked puzzled at the bustling common room and asked.
“What’s going on?”
“Wardanaz suggested we raid the White Tiger Tower and steal their flag!”
“…Woooooooh! I’ve been waiting for this!”
Every new student who heard the situation burst into cheers.
“No matter how I think about it, wouldn’t an exchange be better?”
Gainando still muttered as if he couldn’t understand.
Lee Han became curious and asked.
It was quite rare for Gainando to voice his opinion like this.
“Why do you think that?”
“If we exchange, we can both solve the assignment safely without any danger.”
“That’s right. But we concluded it wouldn’t work because we can’t trust those White Tiger Tower guys.”
“The White Tiger Tower seems trustworthy this time though.”
“How so?”
“I saw the White Tiger Tower kids giving me bread and milk while speaking kindly…”
“…”
Lee Han was shocked.
In the current situation where even their own food was insufficient, giving bread and milk was definitely not simple kindness.
Even being generous, maybe half a piece of bread could be considered kindness, but beyond that, you had to assume there were dark ulterior motives.
‘Were they trying to bribe Gainando?’
Of all people, why…?
‘Come to think of it, Gainando is quite a good target.’
Given his status, he seemed to have some influence (though the White Tiger Tower students probably didn’t know the exact internal atmosphere of the Blue Dragon Tower), and he looked appropriately naive and easy to approach…
Having roughly grasped the situation, Lee Han pondered and then spoke.
“Alright. Gainando. Let’s try your way first before we raid.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Yeah. Go to those White Tiger Tower guys and tell them I changed my mind.”
“Aren’t you going to tell the other guys?”
Gainando was puzzled.
Shouldn’t he tell the friends who were excited about the raid that the plan had changed a bit?
“Those guys won’t accept your excellent plan even if we tell them.”
“That’s true too. I’ll go tell them and come back!”
Gainando confidently set off immediately. Yoner, who had been listening to their conversation, looked worried.
Lee Han nodded as if he understood Yoner’s concern and said.
“Don’t worry. Even though those White Tiger Tower guys have nasty tempers, they won’t grab and torment Gainando in a situation like this.”
“No. I was worried Gainando might betray us.”
“…Gainando isn’t that kind of person, is he?”
“But you never know what might happen in this world. It would’ve been nice if there was a potion to prevent betrayal.”
“…”
Lee Han found Yoner slightly scary.
More importantly, Gainando is your cousin!
* * *
“Is it done?”
“It’s done.”
The White Tiger Tower students were satisfied with the magnificent appearance of the flag.
Surprisingly, the White Tiger Tower students were seriously considering exchanging flags.
…Though it was a fake flag!
Getting the opponent’s real flag with a fake flag was quite a brilliant idea.
Of course, it wasn’t easy. They had to fool all the sharp-eyed Blue Dragon Tower students.
Thanks to this, the White Tiger Tower students went to the Black Turtle Tower black market and traded the precious rabbit meat they caught over the weekend for cloth and dye.
It was a painful expense while everyone was hungry, but it couldn’t be helped.
“Moradi! It worked! That prince fell for it! He wants to set a time and place for the exchange! As planned, we agreed to meet in front of the main building tomorrow when the sun is overhead!”
Angrago, the goat beastman student from White Tiger Tower who went to meet Gainando, shouted excitedly.
“As expected! Angrago, well done!”
“After we fed him such precious food, he should at least do this much!”
Everyone was clapping and stomping their feet, but Giselle still had an uneasy expression.
Dukema, the dwarf student next to her, asked.
“What’s wrong, Moradi? Is there some problem?”
“I’m still not sure if that prince is useful…”
Giselle had a reason for feeling uneasy.
Originally, in any group, the leader who guides that group has a distinctive aura.
As much as she hated to admit it, you could see it just by looking at Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.
Even if not a leader, if someone has some position within a group, it’s bound to show…
…But strangely, she couldn’t feel that from Prince Gainando.
“Moradi. Trust Angrago’s eyes. That prince will definitely be a useful lever.”
“Right. I think so too.”
When Dukema took Angrago’s side, all the other students joined in.
‘What’s this bastard with no ability but only confidence talking about?’
Of course, Giselle wasn’t swayed by such friendship from her friends.
Objectively speaking, Angrago wasn’t particularly capable.
If he had ability, he wouldn’t have run away crying when the three of them went to face Wardanaz!
But Giselle didn’t say anything more.
Even though Giselle acted like a leader in White Tiger Tower, she couldn’t do everything her own way.
The friends who trusted Giselle’s ability and family and followed her orders were human too, so they had emotions and complaints.
If she forced only Giselle’s orders too arbitrarily, things could go wrong.
Sometimes she had to show that Giselle was listening to her friends’ words. Being knights, they were all very sensitive about such pride.
“Alright. If Angrago says so, it must be right.”
“Hehe.”
Angrago scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.
‘Anyway, even if it fails, it’s a fake flag.’
Even if the deal failed or the opponent prepared a trap, the damage they would suffer should be minimal.
Even if it failed, at most they would lose a useless fake flag.
Giselle thought so and nodded.
“Good. Then everyone disperse. Let’s try the exchange tomorrow.”
“Got it!”
* * *
On the night when everyone was asleep.
Lee Han and his friends were moving outside the tower under cover of darkness.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t just Blue Dragon Tower students. There was also one Black Turtle Tower student mixed in.
That was none other than the professional thief, Ratford.
“Please follow me.”
Since Lee Han wasn’t going around alone, he needed the eyes of a professional thief.
Fortunately, Ratford readily agreed to Lee Han’s request.
“Huh.”
Yoner gasped in surprise. Lee Han also tensed up accordingly.
What is it?
“Why?”
“…We should have called Nilia too…!”
“!!!”
Lee Han also belatedly realized his mistake.
Of course, Nilia’s abilities weren’t necessary for thievery, but if she found out later, Nilia would surely…
“Ratford. If Nilia asks later, I never called you.”
“Understood?”
“…No. It’ll reach her ears somehow anyway.”
With so many people around, it seemed impossible for it not to reach Nilia’s ears later.
‘I’ll explain later.’
“That’s the White Tiger Tower over there.”
In the darkness, only moonlight illuminated the tower standing proudly. Lee Han nodded and slowly approached. Having been there several times, it wasn’t particularly unfamiliar.
“Everyone remembers the plan, right? Act according to plan.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students nodded with tense expressions.
Actually, there wasn’t much of a plan to speak of.
Lee Han and Ratford would enter the White Tiger Tower first.
The other friends would hide nearby and enter when Lee Han told them to come in, or wait if he told them not to.
But that didn’t mean they could help feeling nervous.
Especially since they were all from great noble families of the Empire, this kind of midnight raid was practically their first time.
“Rat… Mr. Ratford. Should we bite on tree branches to keep quiet? I saw that in novels.”
“There’s no one patrolling separately and there are few people, so you don’t need to do that.”
“Mr. Ratford. I wrapped my shoes in cloth to keep them quiet!”
“You might slip at night, so it’s better to unwrap them.”
Thanks to this, Ratford had somehow become a one-day thievery instructor. Lee Han gestured to Ratford.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Lee Han and Ratford stood in front of the White Tiger Tower door. It was as natural as coming to their own tower.
Asan, who was clenching his sweat-soaked palms behind them, suddenly felt puzzled.
‘Ratford is one thing, but why is Wardanaz so familiar with this…?’
Lee Han held his breath and placed his hand on the tower.
And he tried to read the magic dwelling within this tower.
“…!”
For a moment, Lee Han almost collapsed.
When a person tries to take in too much knowledge and information into their head at once, they feel dizzy.
What Lee Han felt now was similar.
Countless spells were cast on this tower.
Moreover, Lee Han’s excellent mana detection ability was a major factor.
If it had been other students, they would have noticed at most one or two simple spells cast nearby, but Lee Han detected even beyond that.
“Are you alright?!”
Ratford whispered in alarm, seeing Lee Han break out in cold sweat.
“I’m fine. I’m fine. I was just a bit flustered. It’s certainly not easy.”
“A mage’s tower isn’t originally an easy place to enter. If it’s difficult…”
“No. Let’s try it.”
Lee Han concentrated on not reading the entire tower.
After all, he only needed to break through the magic blocking the entrance!
Wooooooong-
Wooooooong-
Vrooooom-
Uuuuuuuung-
Enormous magical power began to gather. So much so that even Ratford, who was relatively insensitive, could feel the magic accumulating.
‘Are you… okay?’
Radford was worried.
With that level of magical power, Ihan could have been seriously injured if there had been a mistake.
‘No. If it’s Lord Wordanaz…’
Bang!!!!!!
BANG!!!!!!
“!!”
“!!!!”
A wave of mana so enormous that even the Blue Dragon Tower students behind were startled spread out.
And Lee Han shouted.
“The door’s broken through! Everyone come in!!”
“Let… let’s go!”
* * *
-Master. The White Tiger Tower’s magic has stopped.
Don’t tell me it’s those anti-magic extremists again?! How did they get over the castle walls?

Those anti-magic bastards again?! How did they get over the walls?
Those anti-magic bastards again?! How did they get over the castle walls?
The skeleton headmaster, who had been researching magic in his deep underground workshop, was startled for the first time in ages.
-It looks like the new students have stopped.
Ah. If that’s the case. That could be possible. I guess everyone is doing the assignment I gave them. They should do it ahead of time.
The Skeleton Principal quickly regained his composure.
Wait. New students shouldn’t be able to fool the tower’s magic… Did they get an artifact? Which careless fools dropped an artifact? Ah. No. There was another method.

Wait. New students shouldn’t be able to fool the tower’s magic… Did they get an artifact? Which careless fools dropped an artifact? Ah. No. There was another method.
The muttering Skeleton Principal quickly found the correct answer.
Wait. A freshman’s level shouldn’t be enough to fool the tower’s magic… Did you get an artifact? Which careless bastards dropped an artifact? Ah. No, that’s not it. There was another way.
Wait. A freshman’s level shouldn’t be enough to fool the tower’s magic… Did you get an artifact? Which careless bastards dropped an artifact? Ah. No, that’s not it. There was another way.
The muttering skeleton principal quickly found the correct answer.
Among the new students, there was one who could temporarily stop the tower’s magic.
Did you just hit it with brute force? How crude… But where did you learn a method like that?
Such crude methods had no practical use and were even dangerous, so neither books nor the school’s professors taught them well.
To dispel magic, one should understand the structure and find gaps – what kind of crude fool would strike it with brute force?
-Should I find them?
No. You stupid skeleton. I wasn’t talking to you. But even if they broke through the entrance, there should be other spells blocking intruders, right? What happened to those?
To break a spell, you need to understand its structure and find the weak points. What kind of brute would just try to smash through it with raw force?
-Do we need to find it?
No. You stupid skeleton. I wasn’t talking to you. More importantly, even if we broke through the entrance, there should be other spells blocking intruders, right? What happened to those?
No. You stupid skeleton. I wasn’t talking to you. But even if they broke through the entrance, there should be other magic spells to stop intruders, right? What happened to those?
No. You stupid skeleton. I wasn’t talking to you. But even if they broke through the entrance, there should be other magic spells to stop intruders, right? What happened to those?
The White Tiger Tower’s magic wasn’t only placed at the entrance.
All kinds of anti-intrusion magic spells were also cast inside the tower.
-Most of the other defensive magic spells have also stopped.
…
The Skeleton Principal hesitated again.
Not only did they break through the entrance, but other magic spells stopped too?
‘What kind of ignorant fool…!’
Just how hard did they strike for the other magic spells to stop as well?
