At the very moment the Skeleton Principal was dumbfounded, Lee Han and his Blue Dragon Tower friends were running down the stairs.
‘The mana is gathering again!’
Lee Han could feel it.
The tower’s mana that had scattered momentarily was rapidly taking shape and gathering again.
Though it had scattered momentarily from the unexpected shock, the magic school’s spells were truly powerful.
They were prepared to recover even in situations like this.
And when all of this recovered…
‘The plan could go awry.’
Lee Han didn’t know how many spells were cast inside the tower right now, or what effects those spells had.
But he could predict that when those spells came back to life, it would bring unpleasant results for Lee Han’s group as intruders.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
“Uwaaaah!”
“Gainando! Gainando!!”
It seemed one spell had been completed momentarily during the mana gathering process. The magic activated like a flicker.
Gainando, who was unlucky enough to be caught by the spell, flew backward down the stairs as if being dragged.
It was as if someone had hooked an invisible hook to Gainando’s collar and pulled him.
“Gah!”
Gainando bounced out of the White Tiger Tower’s main gate and rolled around.
It was clearly a spell that expelled intruders.
“Hurry! If other spells are completed, things will get troublesome!”
“G-got it!”
The Blue Dragon Tower students nodded.
They almost panicked, but they had a more reliable leader than anyone else.
Seeing Lee Han’s sculpture-like face calmly giving commands, the students who were about to panic regained their composure and followed behind.
Bang!
The common room door opened.
Lee Han and Ratford quickly searched for things that would be worth money, no, things that looked like flags.
“Wh… what is this?!”
Durgyu, who had come down from his private room due to the faint commotion, blinked in confusion.
Blue Dragon Tower students who shouldn’t originally be here had swarmed into the first-year common room.
Durgyu recognized his familiar friend’s face and asked in a locked voice.
“Lee Han! What’s going on…”
“Durgyu!”
“Huh?”
“Behind you!”
“Huh?”
Durgyu unconsciously turned around. Lee Han immediately threw an orb and struck the off-guard Durgyu’s jaw.
The poor orc friend who was still half-asleep collapsed again for the reason of trusting Lee Han.
“…Haha! You White Tiger Tower bastard! Pay the price for being arrogant to Wardanaz!”
When one Blue Dragon Tower student cheered, Yoner looked at Lee Han with confused eyes.
It was an expression that said ‘Is this really okay?’
Lee Han shook his head and said.
“This is better for Durgyu too.”
The reason Lee Han didn’t tell Durgyu about the raid plan was simple.
Durgyu was still a White Tiger Tower student after all.
It wasn’t because he was worried about betrayal.
He was worried that Durgyu, who was already being somewhat shunned within White Tiger Tower, would be ostracized if he got involved in this plan too.
Yoner knew this and agreed, but…
‘Even considering that, I think he hit his jaw too hard!’
“If he’s seen collapsed like this, other White Tiger Tower students won’t have any unnecessary misunderstandings either. There’s no need for Durgyu to become an outcast within the tower like Nilia.”
“Yeah. …But did you have to compare him to Nilia…?”
“Found it!”
Like a professional thief, Ratford quickly found the flag.
The problem was that there wasn’t just one flag.
“Here too!”
“There’s one here too…?!”
Flags that White Tiger Tower students had made for practice and failed while trying to make fakes appeared from here and there.
The patterns were crude, but it was hard to distinguish them in the darkness.
Lee Han came to a simple conclusion.
“Take them all.”
“…!”
That’s right!
Just take them all!
The Blue Dragon Tower students picked up flags as they saw them, grabbing whatever they could.
“…Wh-what’s happening??”
A second White Tiger Tower student appeared.
It was Rowena, a black-haired elf whose face Lee Han also knew.
Rowena was startled when she made eye contact with the Imperial Princess, who was collecting flags with an expressionless face and putting them in her bosom.
“What on earth is happening?!”
“Be quiet and don’t move! If you move, I won’t leave the Imperial Princess alone!”
“?!”
The Imperial Princess’s eyes wavered slightly as she suddenly became a hostage after coming to help.
Rowena was startled and raised both arms.
“N-no! I’ll stay still!”
“Good! Stay still!”
Lee Han tied down Rowena’s feet with just one word.
Ratford urgently shouted.
“I’ve checked everything! There’s nothing more!”
“Good. Let’s get out!”
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As the spells that had lost their form began to gain power, signs started to appear.
Two Blue Dragon Tower students bounced outside like Gainando earlier.
“Those who got kicked out, head to Blue Dragon Tower! Ratford. Run!”
“Yes!”
“Blue Dragon Tower bastards raided our common room!!!!”
As the commotion continued, White Tiger Tower students slowly began to wake up.
White Tiger Tower students who came down to the common room to check and witnessed the thunderbolt-like situation loudly woke up their friends.
“Rowena! Why are you just standing there?!”
“If, if those guys move, they won’t leave the Imperial Princess alone…”
“What are you talking about! They’re from the same tower and came together!”
“…!”
“Chase them!! Never let them get away!!”
* * *
Some by force, some on their own feet.
Lee Han and his friends succeeded in escaping from the White Tiger Tower.
Lee Han, who barely escaped at the last moment, shuddered at the feeling of the tower’s intruder prevention magic grazing the back of his head.
”
“Ugh… uuuurgh.
“
”
The students expelled by magic staggered and collapsed, unable to maintain their balance as if suffering from severe motion sickness. Gainando couldn’t even stand up and was swimming on the ground.

“Carry the fallen friends and run! The White Tiger Tower students are coming!”
“O… okay!”
Lee Han lifted Gainando onto his shoulder. Gainando screamed.
“Driver! Gently!! Drive gently!!”
“It’s not a carriage, Gainando! Get a grip!”
Clatter clatter-
“Hey you thieving bastards!!!”
Torches lit up from behind and the White Tiger Tower students’ shouts erupted.
It was absurd enough to be suddenly attacked at night, but now even their flag had disappeared.
Asan from Blue Dragon Tower shouted back defiantly.
“That’s what we should be saying! You cowardly fraudsters! Making fake flags! You guys are 100% fraudsters!”
“Instead of wasting time provoking them, just run, Asan!”
Even while carrying Gainando and running, Lee Han was faster than the other students. However, Lee Han stopped in his tracks.
It seemed the White Tiger Tower students were faster than expected.
‘At this rate, some will get caught!’
Ratford asked breathlessly.
“Are you planning to use the Prince as bait?”
“…No!”
Lee Han was momentarily flustered.
He really wasn’t.
“Wardanaz you bastard! Fine, I’ll accept that you despicably and cowardly threatened Rowena by taking the Imperial Princess hostage! But Durgyu trusted your honor! And you knocked out that Durgyu?!”
The goat beastman, Angrago, shouted in an indignant voice.
Thinking this was perfect timing, Lee Han replied coldly.
“Durgyu? That guy was just an easy chess piece. He was stupid to fall for it.”
“…Wardanaz you bastard!!!”
Angrago exploded and charged at him. However, Angrago alone was no match for Lee Han.
Apart from swordsmanship, Lee Han had already been harshly trained by Professor Boladi.
Lee Han immediately summoned a water orb.
Spring forth!
”
Spring forth!
“
Spring forth!
A compressed water orb revealed itself. Lee Han cast the next spell without any rest.
Move!
”
Move!
“
Move!
With dull thudding sounds, the charging Angrago tumbled to the ground. The heavy water orb had enough power to drain the strength from his limbs.
The fallen Angrago looked up at Lee Han with a resentful expression, grinding his teeth.
Due to the flickering torches from the tower behind, shadows were clearly cast on Lee Han’s face. His already cold, sculpture-like face felt even more chilling because of it.
Thinking of Durgyu collapsed in the common room, Angrago’s heart burned even more with anger and sadness.
“Grr…! Wardanaz! You monster who only knows magic…!!”
“Angrago!!”
The White Tiger Tower students who arrived late helped the fallen Angrago to his feet while crying out in grief.
Seeing their fallen friend, their hearts ached as if they were looking at a righteous knight struck down by an evil dark mage.
“Kuk… kukukukuk! You can never defeat Wardanaz… urgh.”
“Don’t provoke them and stay quiet.”
When Gainando, who had regained consciousness, tried to provoke them from Lee Han’s shoulder, Lee Han hit his mouth. Gainando shut up again.
“This was done for a lecture assignment, so let’s not hold unnecessary grudges against each other.”
“You call that an excuse?!”
‘Well, even I think that’s pretty shameless.’
Lee Han thought so too.
What good would it do to tell the White Tiger Tower students who had already been slapped that ‘the real cause of all this lies with the Skeleton Principal who divided the towers into four and made students vicious with such lectures and environment, let’s not fight among ourselves’?
They’d probably respond with something like ‘I’ll beat you up first and then think about it.’
Lee Han sighed. In the end, force was the only answer.
Of course, to the White Tiger Tower students, Lee Han’s sigh felt like mockery looking down on them, perhaps because of the darkness.
“You… you…!”
“Don’t follow me. I can use the same magic as before as much as I want. It might be different in daylight, but it’ll be hard to keep avoiding in darkness like this.”
Lee Han planned to escape before more White Tiger Tower students came down.
Even if he could somehow threaten and handle five or six people, he couldn’t predict what reaction would come if their numbers increased further.
“…I don’t care! Friends! Avenge Durgyu! Avenge Durgyu who was only used by Wardanaz!”
Angrago cried out in grief. Lee Han slightly regretted not knocking Angrago unconscious.
The eyes of the White Tiger Tower students had completely changed.
‘Damn.’
He could feel their firm determination to avenge Durgyu, whether they got beaten and fell or not.
Indeed, they weren’t from knight families for nothing. In this situation, they chose their friend’s pride over their own limbs.
Gainando whispered in a disgusted voice.
“…Isn’t this screwed?”
Instead of answering, Lee Han hit Gainando’s mouth once more.
‘Keep the left side in check with water orbs, block the one coming from the right by swinging my sword… after blocking their vision once, turn around and run…’
Though it was an unexpected situation, Lee Han quickly calculated the circumstances.
However, that calculation became meaningless.
Gainando, who was on his shoulder, pointed behind the White Tiger Tower students with his finger and screamed.
“…Behind!! Behind!!”
“Wardanaz, how stupid do you think we are?! Do you think we’ll fall for it if you get the Prince to do it?!”
“Look behind you!!!”
“We’ll never fall for… waaaaaaah!”
Whoooosh!
Whoooosh!
Whoooosh!
A massive vine flew over, wrapped around a White Tiger Tower student, and lifted him straight into the air.
At the sight of the unrealistically huge vine monster emerging through the darkness, Lee Han momentarily thought he had triggered the White Tiger Tower’s defensive magic and summoned a creature.
But fortunately, that wasn’t the case.
-A summoned creature escaped from the greenhouse! A summoned creature escaped from the greenhouse!
-It’s heading toward the new students! …That’s not my problem! This bastard should go to the punishment room!
-Shut up and clean up this mess!?
Familiar shouting could be heard faintly echoing from the distance.
It was the heartwarming conversation that only a professor’s disciples who had failed an experiment could share.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Professor Garcia appeared from mid-air and landed gracefully.
The professor swung his staff once to make the vine monster retreat, then looked at Lee Han and spoke.
“To think summoned creatures would escape like this again. This week is going to be quite difficult for the new students. Student Lee Han.”
“…Wait. Did you say ‘again’ and ‘creatures’?”
Summoned ‘creatures’ had escaped like this ‘again’?
“Why are you here, Student Lee Han?”
“Professor! That vine monster took my friend! Please save him!”
“Ah, I understand. Wait a moment.”
