It might seem obvious to say this now, but the magic school was not a safe place.
Even excluding the professors, it was a place where various dangerous incidents were bound to happen.
The freshman mages learning magic couldn’t help but cause accidents even when they tried not to.
The summoned creature currently rampaging was one such example.
The upperclassmen who had tried to prepare summoned creatures for magic experiments at the beginning of the semester had failed to control them.
‘…No, even if they failed to control them, how does it make sense for them to rampage on school grounds like this? Isn’t this a fundamental problem with the school system?’
Lee Han was dumbfounded after hearing Professor Garcia’s explanation.
Still not giving up hope, Lee Han asked again.
“I heard other summoned creatures have escaped too… they’ll be dealt with soon, right? Aren’t the Empire’s most outstanding mages here at this school?”
“Of course.”
Lee Han felt relieved at Professor Garcia’s words.
So they will handle it after all!
“They should all be caught in about a month. Student Lee Han.”
“…”
Lee Han’s face hardened. Since it was dark and he was focused on the vine monster, Professor Garcia didn’t notice that expression.
“…Then what should we do for a month?”
“You’ll have to be careful while moving around, won’t you?”
Professor Garcia was serious.
It wasn’t that he had any malicious intent, but if escaped summoned creatures were hiding and roaming around the school grounds, wouldn’t they really need to be careful?
…Of course, from Lee Han’s perspective, it was utterly absurd.
‘A professor is still a professor!’
No matter how benevolent they were, the professors here all possessed a certain amount of madness within them.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
“Thank you! Thank you!”
Professor Garcia summoned sharp rings of wind to cut the vine monster’s vines, then safely rescued the trapped White Tiger Tower student.
Though it looked simple on the surface, it was a highly complex series of spells where he threatened the vine monster with mental magic, cut the vines with wind elemental magic, then safely caught the falling White Tiger Tower student with gravity distortion magic.
Lee Han could hardly believe that Professor Garcia had accomplished all this without even breathing hard, compressing it into simple movements.
‘Amazing!’
Seeing it properly when he had leisure like this, rather than when he was frantic last time, Professor Garcia’s magic reminded him of a ballerina.
Just as a master ballerina could create an untouchable aura with simple movements of extending an arm and lifting a leg, so too did Professor Garcia.
“Are you alright?”
“Huhuhuhu!”
The White Tiger Tower student must have been quite frightened, as he burst into tears, forgetting that he was from a knight family.
Or perhaps it was because this was the first professor to speak to him so warmly since entering this school.
“But why were you outside at this hour of the night?”
“Huh, that Wardanaz guy… came into our common room… and our tower flag…”
“…”
Professor Garcia turned his head with a bewildered expression.
Being out at night was absurd enough, but breaking through the common room’s magic was even more absurd.
How?
However, Lee Han was no longer there. He had already fled.
* * *
Though he had safely returned with the flag, the Blue Dragon Tower students’ expressions were subtle.
Before they could even rejoice, voices could be heard from outside.
Summoned creatures have escaped within the school grounds, so students should be careful on their own. I repeat. Summoned creatures have escaped within the school grounds…

The students were now speechless.
It was a school that gave them new shocks every week.
A school where whenever they thought ‘surely there can’t be anything more new,’ something new would appear.
How were they supposed to stay tense even within the school grounds?
“…”
“…Didn’t one of the professors release them?”
One of the Blue Dragon Tower students muttered.
If it had been the first week, reactions like ‘what nonsense’ would have emerged, but now everyone showed serious suspicious looks.
“A professor definitely released them. I think it was the principal…”
“No! Professor Thunderstep is suspicious!”
“More importantly, why can’t they catch them right away?”
Lee Han, who had been listening quietly, thought to himself.
‘Isn’t it because the professors find it bothersome?’
Thinking about it, the fact that it would take about a month was also somewhat strange.
How many mages were there in this vast magic school?
If such outstanding professors were mobilized to form an encirclement, whether summoned creatures or dragons had escaped, it should be resolved quickly for it to be normal.
But fundamentally, professors didn’t move easily in the first place.
They would have their disciples below solve mistakes they made themselves, and even more so have disciples solve mistakes made by disciples.
As such, there was no way they would move directly for incidents like summoned creature escapes…
‘Everyone would be shocked if I told them, so I’d better keep my mouth shut.’
Lee Han kept quiet out of consideration for the students.
“At the very least, they should tell us what kinds escaped! Aren’t those seniors going too far?!”
“Exactly!”
The anger passed the professors and turned toward the faceless upperclassmen.
The new students grumbled and cursed the upperclassmen.
Weren’t they suffering because of incompetent seniors!
“Stop chattering and have breakfast. I put special effort into it since everyone had a hard time last night.”
Lee Han lifted the large pot hanging in front of the fireplace.
The red color of the tomato beef stew made the Blue Dragon Tower students happy.
Though the amount of food ingredients brought from outside was considerable, Lee Han had no intention of wasting them. He didn’t know when he could go out again.
But in a situation like this, being generous enough to provide abundantly might be acceptable. Everyone had been through a lot.
‘I should try growing more vegetables.’
Lee Han was thinking of expanding the cabin’s vegetable garden a bit.
Not just sweet potatoes and regular potatoes, but also planting wheat, and some fruit trees around…
‘I’d like to increase the chickens too. If I raise pigs as well, would Professor Thunderstep treat me like a madman?’
What he realized while managing the vegetable garden was that fresh vegetables were quite important in human life.
Just being able to obtain fresh vegetables changed the quality of meals.
The tomato beef stew he brought now was the same. The rich flavor and aroma came from the tomato sauce and spices, and the visual impact came from the large chunks of beef, but…
What helped create the deep, rich taste of this stew were vegetables like onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms.
Because he had sautéed these vegetables for preliminary preparation…
‘Wait, what am I thinking about right now?’
Lee Han stopped mid-realization.
Somehow, it seemed like he was gaining more insights in other fields than in magic since coming to school.
The Blue Dragon Tower students who had suffered through the night filled their bowls generously with stew and enjoyed breakfast with bread.
Eating a warm breakfast with sunlight streaming through the common room’s stained glass made them feel like they had returned home.
Summoned creatures have escaped within the school grounds, so students should be careful. I repeat. Summoned creatures have escaped within the school grounds…

“…I’m losing my appetite…”
“Then should I eat it?”
“Get your hands away! I’ll challenge you to a duel.”
Lee Han got up, took a bowl, and headed to the Imperial Princess’s private room.
He had become accustomed to this without other students having to ask him.
“?”
However, the door didn’t open as usual. When Adenart didn’t respond despite Lee Han knocking several times, he gave up and returned.
“What’s wrong? Did the Imperial Princess say she wouldn’t eat?”
“No. There was no answer.”
“Ah. She must be sleeping. She must have been tired after yesterday…”
The students who served the Imperial Princess nodded with understanding expressions.
Indeed, it was understandable that she would be tired after what happened yesterday.
Lee Han felt slightly guilty.
‘She’s not holding a grudge about me using her as a hostage, is she?’
Unlike Gainando, Adenart was capable and had many students who worshipped her.
Even if not now, it would become quite troublesome if Adenart told people during vacation, ‘Wardanaz grabbed me and used me as a hostage.’
That’s why he had put plenty of beef in the stew…
“Then let’s not wake her unnecessarily. Thank you, Wardanaz. The Imperial Princess has such a small appetite, but when you bring it personally, she seems unable to refuse out of courtesy.”
“…?”
Lee Han tilted his head.
Was that so?
‘I thought she ate quite well…’
Gainando, who was scraping his wooden bowl with a spoon while eating stew, asked.
“Wouldn’t it be better to wake her early than let her starve? You can sleep anytime, but eating…”
“Don’t talk nonsense, Gainando! Do you think the Imperial Princess is like you?”
“Right! She doesn’t obsess over food like that!”
Actually, Lee Han’s thoughts were similar to Gainando’s.
Since you can sleep anytime, it would be better to wake up, eat, and then sleep again…
‘Never mind. Her followers would know better.’
“But Lee Han.”
“?”
“Will you be okay for this morning’s class?”
“This morning’s class… Oh.”
Lee Han checked his paper at Yoner’s words and hesitated.
“I’ll probably be fine.”
“…”
Yoner’s eyes were saying, ‘No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t seem fine.’
* * *
“…”
“…”
Basic swordsmanship class.
Having suffered through last night’s incident, the White Tiger Tower students were glaring at Lee Han with very, very displeased expressions.
The only one who would even talk to Lee Han was Durgyu.
Durgyu spoke firmly.
“You didn’t need to do such things out of consideration for me, Lee Han.”
The moment he was hit in the jaw and fell, Durgyu realized it.
That the honorable Lee Han had taken on the villain’s role for Durgyu’s sake.
After waking up, when the White Tiger Tower students got angry saying, ‘Do you know what that bastard said about you?’, Durgyu remained unshaken.
“If I can’t do what I should do because I’m worried about other friends’ opinions, then they’re not real friends. Real friends understand both honor and friendship.”
“Moving words, Durgyu.”
Lee Han thought to himself, ‘Yesterday when I came in to steal the flag, it wasn’t really related to honor, was it?’, but he nodded respectfully for Durgyu’s sake.
When the person you hit forgives you, you should quietly keep your mouth shut and listen.
“So from now on, you don’t need to play the villain.”
“Right, right.”
Of course, regardless of what Durgyu said, Lee Han planned to act similarly if similar situations arose in the future.
Durgyu might not mind, but the other White Tiger Tower friends wouldn’t be able to ignore it.
Even now, the White Tiger Tower students were glaring at Lee Han.
“Durgyu is being fooled again…!”
“Don’t let him make contact with that guy!”
Some students were even grinding their teeth and forming a physical barrier to prevent approach.
Anyone watching would think Durgyu had been brainwashed by Lee Han.
“Good morning, everyone.”
The elf swordsman and professor, Ingoldel, appeared leaning on his sword like a staff. The students who had been standing scattered immediately straightened their posture and greeted him politely.
Professor Ingoldel continued speaking in a gentle voice unbefitting a swordsman.
“When I woke up, I found escaped summoned creatures wandering around the school. I thought what an absurd place this is.”
“…”
All the students nodded. It was something everyone could relate to, regardless of which tower they belonged to.
“But since students have to continue living here… I’ve been thinking about it. What method would be helpful.”
“?”
Lee Han suddenly became anxious.
There had rarely been good results when professors worried about students.
“So I caught one of the escaped summoned creatures. Let’s practice by facing it together.”
“…”
Lee Han began to seriously worry that Professor Ingoldel was becoming tainted by the school.
