Dark Tower.
The tower that Professor Mortum used as his workshop was still eerie.
‘If he wants more students to come, he should improve the surrounding environment first.’
With skeletons, bones, tombstones, and boxes of poison bottles scattered around, people generally didn’t want to come.
In Lee Han’s view, among this year’s new students, it seemed like only Lee Han and Gainando would come to learn dark magic…
“??”
Lee Han was surprised.
There were other new students in front of the Dark Tower.
Two of them, no less.
“Wh… why are those bastards here to learn dark magic?”
“Is there a reason to look so serious?”
Lee Han was puzzled by Gainando’s reaction.
Gainando answered as if it were obvious.
“The professor said only I had talent!”
“…”
Didn’t you say you hated dark magic?
Lee Han was about to say something but gave up and changed the subject.
“Gainando. Even if they don’t have as much talent as you, they might still want to learn dark magic.”
“That’s true, I suppose.”
Gainando reflected slightly on Lee Han’s words.
Come to think of it, he could probably treat them a bit more generously.
“Hey. Everyone…”
“Don’t try to act friendly with me, you scum from Blue Dragon Tower.”
“…”
Gainando got angry and tried to strike the other person with his staff. Lee Han grabbed his arm and stopped him.
“A White Tiger Tower student.”
“Right.”
Golden light flickered faintly in the other person’s eyes.
With facial features that felt somehow foreign, Lee Han realized the other person had mixed blood.
“An angel hybrid?”
“That’s right. I carry the glorious blood of my ancestors.”
‘For someone who’s proud of it, the blood seems quite diluted.’
Tijiling, who was a demon hybrid, had such thick blood that you could tell just by looking at her appearance.
Compared to that, the White Tiger Tower student before him was quite hard to recognize.
If it weren’t for Lee Han’s keen detection ability, it would have been difficult to notice.
“You carry the glorious blood of your ancestors, yet you listen to the Moradi family’s orders?”
Lee Han immediately attempted to sow discord.
The fewer White Tiger Tower students who listened to Giselle’s orders, the more comfortable Lee Han and Durgyu’s lives would become.
The honor and pride of knights was a good weakness to poke at.
“Don’t be mistaken, Wardanaz. I, Raphadael, don’t listen to Moradi’s orders.”
“What? You don’t listen to Moradi’s orders, so why are you acting so bitch… stu… ass…”
Unable to find appropriate vocabulary, Lee Han just ended his question.
“Why are you acting like that?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
Raphadael looked at Lee Han as if he was incredulous.
He found it absurd that Lee Han was playing dumb.
Gainando whispered from the side.
“Isn’t it because you sent those White Tiger Tower guys to the punishment room last time?”
“Just for that?”
“Or maybe it’s because you went into the common room and stole their flag.”
“Just for that?”
“…???”
Gainando was confused.
Huh?
That… seems like quite sufficient reason though?
Raphadael frowned and said to Lee Han.
“Durgyu of the Choi family! You won’t say you don’t know about this. That’s the name of the honorable friend you’re wickedly toying with.”
“…”
Lee Han was at a loss for words for the first time in a while. Gainando defended him instead.
“No, well, Durgyu is our friend.”
“Even your excuses are cowardly… You knocked him unconscious with magic and you still dare to call him a friend!”
“…”
Gainando looked at Lee Han as if asking for help.
“I treated him the same way so Durgyu wouldn’t be hated by the White Tiger Tower students.”
“You call that an explanation?”
Raphadael reacted as if he was incredulous.
Lee Han shrugged as if he had expected this.
Some misunderstandings cannot be resolved.
“Wait. You… you’re from the Grall family, aren’t you?”
Gainando belatedly recalled Raphadael’s family.
The southern knight family, the Grall family.
The Grall family, which took pride in having angel blood mixed in their ancestors, was among the knight families that were most strict about justice.
Judging by how he spoke…
“That’s right, you evil bastards.”
The other person seemed to have already categorized Lee Han and Gainando as the axis of evil.
Lee Han reflected just a tiny bit.
‘But most of it is because of the Wardanaz family’s image.’
If it weren’t for the Wardanaz family’s mad image, Lee Han wouldn’t have received such misunderstandings.
At least that’s what Lee Han thought.
“No, why is the Grall family learning dark magic!?”
Gainando protested as if it made no sense.
Why would someone from the Grall family, which produced so many paladins, come to learn dark magic?
Raphadael said proudly.
“If I learn dark magic, I’ll be better able to deal with dark mages.”
“…”
‘The professor is going to cry.’
Lee Han was speechless.
Only 4 people came and one of them was a dark magic hater…
“I see. Grall. I hope you learn dark magic well to deal with dark mages. Since you were hostile toward me, I thought you would join hands with Giselle of the Moradi family and cowardly target my back.”
“Don’t treat me, Raphadael, the same as that Moradi bastard!”
Raphadael was very offended.
Lee Han who controlled Durgyu like playing with a puppet was one thing, but Giselle who used other White Tiger Tower students like her own hands and feet was equally despicable.
“Then you won’t join hands with Giselle of the Moradi family to target my back?”
“Of course!”
“Even with those guys?”
“Of course! What are you asking!”
“Then that’s settled.”
Lee Han walked away as if he had said everything he needed to say.
As long as he wouldn’t attack from behind and wouldn’t hold hands with Giselle, it didn’t matter what he babbled about in front.
Raphadael was dumbfounded and could only blink his eyes.
He felt like he had been tricked somehow, but what exactly had happened to him?
Following behind Lee Han, Gainando thought to himself.
‘He’s my friend, but he really does seem like an evil Archmage…’
* * *
Having been fooled by Raphadael once, Gainando had become quite hostile. He spoke to another student with a voice devoid of any kindness.
“Why did you come to learn dark magic?”
Swoosh-
The student stood up from his seat. Only then did Gainando realize that the other person had been sitting on the ground.
“…”
Lee Han was tall too, but this person was so tall that Lee Han would have to look up at him. He was easily over 2 meters tall.
‘Giant hybrid!’
Overwhelmed, Gainando quickly became polite.
“You… you can learn it… I think. I was rude.”
“Hi, hi there. Nice to meet you all.”
The other person was a Black Turtle Tower student. While greeting them, he looked around nervously.
“My, my name is Ymirg.”
“I’m Lee Han. This is Gainando. But may I ask why you’re looking around?”
“My, my friends don’t like me hanging out with Blue Dragon Tower students…”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised.
‘Well, it’s not strange.’
Except for Phoenix Tower, tower students basically stuck together with their own.
It was natural for Black Turtle Tower students, who had almost no nobles or knights, to dislike mingling with White Tiger Tower students who were mainly from knight families or Blue Dragon Tower students who were mainly from noble families.
Students like Nilia and Ratford were the unusual ones…
Still, Lee Han checked just in case.
“It’s not because you think I’m an evil Archmage, is it?”
“Huh, huh? What do you mean?”
“Never mind then. That’s fine.”
Fortunately, it was correct that he disliked him for being a noble. Lee Han was relieved.
“I… came to learn because I’m interested in dark magic. I want to get along well with friends who are also trying to learn dark magic.”
“Hmph! That will never happen!”
Raphadael, who was behind them, answered strongly.
He had no intention of becoming friends with evil students who were trying to learn dark magic.
Ymirg looked at Raphadael with a sad expression. Raphadael flinched. He seemed to be slightly scared.
“Right. We might not know about outside, but let’s get along well when we’re learning dark magic here.”
Lee Han extended his hand.
Ymirg was a very easy case to become friends with. Having met so many strange people at school, Lee Han was grateful for someone like this.
Ymirg grabbed Lee Han’s hand with a happy expression and shook it up and down.
In that moment, Lee Han had to quickly release all his mana to endure it.
‘Ugh!’
Lee Han managed his expression so as not to hurt Ymirg’s feelings. It was tremendous strength.
“Please take care of me too!”
Gainando extended his hand without knowing better. Lee Han tried to stop him, but Gainando had already grabbed the hand.
Crack!
* * *
Professor Mortum hummed happily seeing the increased number of new students.
Lee Han felt sorry for no reason.
‘I shouldn’t feel sympathy for the professor.’
Stockholm syndrome was quite a dangerous syndrome.
“Cough. You all came well. I didn’t expect there would be so many students interested in dark magic. I can look forward to next year.”
“Please take care of us!”
Professor Mortum didn’t seem to notice Raphadael’s evil intentions. He looked at Lee Han and asked.
“Did you find more bone summons?”
“I haven’t found any yet, but…”
“Cough. Try wandering around more gloomy and dark places.”
Professor Mortum winked at Lee Han as if giving him a gift. Of course, it wasn’t very romantic.
‘With summoned creatures escaping and wandering around, telling me to wander around gloomy and dark places in the school… that’s practically suicide.’
“Cough… You must have all been waiting for today’s gathering, so I should proceed with the lesson quickly. Do you remember what we learned about curses last time?”
“Yes. Of course.”
Raphadael took out paper and a quill pen and prepared to write down the professor’s words. Professor Mortum was pleased.
Of course, from Lee Han’s perspective, knowing Raphadael’s intentions, it was just pitiful.
Isn’t he going to attack the professor first later?
“Honestly, curses were more interesting than summoning magic!”
Gainando spoke honestly.
“Today, let’s study curses without rushing and increase our understanding… wait a moment.”
Professor Mortum stopped mid-sentence.
“Did you learn summoning magic this week?”
“Yes.”
“Cough. How did the students react?”
“Everyone liked it, didn’t they? Except for us, everyone went to the workshop to listen to stories.”
Lee Han wanted to hit Gainando’s mouth once, but unfortunately he couldn’t.
Professor Mortum said firmly.
“…Instead of curses, I’ll teach you undead summoning today.”
“Wow!!”
‘Is this really okay?’
Lee Han became anxious.
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like they had skipped several steps in the curriculum…
* * *
“Cough. Undead summoning can be said to be the flower among flowers in summoning magic. The most beautiful, complex, and sophisticated magic…”
“Where do dark mages usually get corpses?”
“Good question, student Raphadael. In the past, they mainly used cemeteries, but not anymore these days. They purchase and use licensed corpses.”
“Oh my… But illegal dark mages probably still favor cemeteries, right?”
“Wouldn’t they?”
“Thank you.”
Raphadael excitedly took notes. Professor Mortum tilted his head as if feeling something was off.
“But you all are still… too early to perform complete undead summoning. A completed undead can kill a mage if handled incorrectly.”
Cases where skeleton warriors summoned by inexperienced dark mages stabbed their masters to death were among the most common dark magic accidents.
Gainando, who had nearly died from the Magic Quill, nodded his head.
“I’ll summon the easiest ones first, ones that relatively can’t kill you all. Starting with bone hands.”
The students focused on the professor’s words with tense expressions.
Swish!
Bone hands appeared before the students.
“First, try to become friendly with the bone hands. At first, they won’t listen to what you say either…”
“…?”
Lee Han momentarily thought the Bone Summon and bone hands had switched places.
The bone hand was very politely bowing its head in front of Lee Han.
‘Is this a trap?’
