Chapter 801
His friends shouted sternly.
“Delete it!”
“Erase everything!”
This time, even Lee Han couldn’t stand the deletion and argued back.
“Hey. If I delete everything, what am I supposed to use to get investment?”
“…”
“…You already have enough!!!!”
At his friend’s heartfelt cry, Lee Han looked exasperated and called out to Senior Falkrious who was passing by.
“Senior Falkrious. When trying to receive external support or investment, is there such a thing as sufficient preparation?”
“Puhuh. There isn’t. It’s always better to overdo it. Prepare excessively. Even then it won’t be enough!”
“Thank you, Senior.”
“Don’t mention such trivial things!”
Falkrious walked away to the other side, carrying a thick iron cauldron and laughing heartily.
Because of this, Lee Han’s friends missed their chance to argue back.
“No, wait a sec…”
“Senior! Senior, you should listen to what we have to say before leaving!”
“You heard him, right? There’s no such thing as enough.”
At Lee Han’s triumphant words, his friends sent him looks filled with irritation.
No matter how they thought about it, if they included everything Lee Han wanted, the atmosphere would shift to ‘Einroguard, is this really okay?’
“Lee Han.”
Yoner carefully raised his hand and spoke.
“What is it, Yoner?”
“What do you think when you see the achievements the Principal said he accomplished in his youth?”
“…?”
Lee Han tilted his head.
What did he think when seeing the achievements the Skeleton Principal claimed from his youth.
“That he’s a really crazy mage?”
“Probably outsiders would think similarly when they see what you wrote…”
“…”
Lee Han made a deeply hurt expression.
Yoner felt guilty and subtly averted his gaze. His friends were surprised and whispered among themselves.
“Isn’t that too cruel?”
“How could he make such a comparison…”
“…Everyone be quiet. I did what I had to do!”
* * *
In the end, Lee Han had no choice but to complete a greatly reduced self-introduction.
The main contents were taking courses from all schools and ranking first, participating in various external mages’ work, exchanges with 5th year seniors, and completing 5th circle magic.
‘Hmm. This is worrying. Will this be enough?’
While Lee Han was pondering, Yukveltire and several students from the Buyeo magic school walked out from the Blue Dragon Tower dormitory passage connected to the 7th floor village.
She wasn’t someone he particularly wanted to associate with, but she was still a senior, so Lee Han greeted her first.
“Good day, Senior.”
“What are you doing there?”
“I’m preparing a self-introduction for external guests in preparation for club week…”
“Actually, I wasn’t curious enough to ask. It was a metaphor telling you to help with my research instead of wasting time. Was that metaphor too difficult?”
“…”
Lee Han looked at the Buyeo magic school seniors behind her.
He meant for them to stop this crazy 5th year.
But the seniors who entered the Buyeo magic school even after seeing Professor Verdus were completely different from Diret.
They had no interest in whatever Yukveltire was babbling about in the first place.
Regardless of what Lee Han and Yukveltire were arguing about, they were absorbed in thought, staring intently at papers with their research written on them.
‘What a trash school. Even if I receive mountains of gold in investment, I won’t donate a single penny to the Buyeo magic school.’
“Senior Diret told me not to go to the workshop.”
“You could just come secretly, couldn’t you?”
“…What brings you here, Senior?”
“Same reason, club week. Oh right. You don’t have many friends, do you?”
“…???”
Lee Han realized that when he heard something too absurd, he would momentarily be at a loss for words.
What was someone who seemed like they’d have no friends in Einroguard except for Diret babbling about?
“That’s not true.”
“You’re eccentric enough to hang around with Ilendil, and being from the black magic school means your social circle is narrow and not harmonious, right? It doesn’t matter. Social relationships aren’t essential for mages. But there are times when social activities are necessary. I’m inviting you to my club in preparation for such times.”
“What the…”
Lee Han learned something.
When spouting nonsense, you shouldn’t just do one thing, but dozens simultaneously.
Then the other person wouldn’t know where to start arguing back and would inevitably react a beat late.
“What… kind of club? I didn’t know you participated in club activities, Senior.”
“Einroguard Social Club.”
“?????”
Lee Han was even more surprised by the club name that seemed most distant from the Verdus disciple before him.
‘Wait. Could it be a cult rather than social ?’
If it was an evil religious club, Lee Han was prepared to report it before anyone else.
However, surprisingly, it really was social .
-Hey. This research presentation requires at least five or more Buyeo mages to form a party to participate.
-What? Where am I supposed to find four people?
-…Your school has lots of people, you crazy bastard.
-What does my school having many people have to do with finding four people?
-…
If you only saw social mages like Lee Han, it was easy to miss, but there were quite a few antisocial mages at Einroguard too.
The Buyeo magic school had a particularly high ratio of such people, which often led to mages finding themselves in difficult situations.
-For this magic project participation, there’s a preliminary ball… must attend with a partner…
-Can’t be helped. I’ll have to give up the commission.
-The sponsor says they don’t want to support eccentric mages without colleagues because they seem likely to cause trouble?
-What an eccentric bastard. What does having colleagues have to do with magic?
Yukveltire herself had suffered some losses in such areas, so she felt the need for countermeasures.
And that countermeasure was the 【Einroguard Social Club】.
-Do you participate in any club activities?
-I belong to the Einroguard Social Club.
-Do you have any hobbies?
-I belong to the Einroguard Social Club.
-Do you have any close mage friends?
-I belong to the Einroguard Social Club.
A powerful shield to face the rough and fierce questions of external social activities.
That was exactly what the 【Einroguard Social Club】 was.
‘…She really is insane.’
Lee Han had always thought this senior was crazy, but today he decided to upgrade that assessment a bit more.
To about 0.85 Verdus level…
“So what kind of activities do you do?”
“Activities?”
“…Don’t clubs usually have activities?”
Even the Teleportation Club used to have regular and consistent activities.
“We put names on the list when we need to fill numbers.”
“That’s more like… I understand. Anything else?”
“Not really. Spending a lot of time on club activities doesn’t help with magic at all.”
“Are there any rules by chance?”
“There are.”
“What are they?”
“No small talk.”
“…”
It was quite an original rule for a social club.
Lee Han held onto his sanity and said.
“I have many clubs I’ve joined, so I’m fine.”
“Really? That’s surprising.”
‘I shouldn’t ask what’s surprising. I shouldn’t ask what’s surprising…’
Lee Han tried not to get angry at a crazy person.
The moment he did that would be like entering a swamp.
“I think we talked about this before anyway…”
Yukveltire tilted her head.
Her attitude showed that whatever Lee Han had said, if it wasn’t necessary for her, she wouldn’t remember it.
“…It’s nothing. Anyway, did you come out because of the club too, Senior? Wait. You said there are no activities except filling numbers?”
“Sponsorship money is an exception.”
“!”
Surprisingly, this 【Einroguard Social Club】 was a club that consistently received sponsorship money from outside.
The brilliant magical achievements of its members (most were students from the Enchantment Magic School), regular social activities (heavily embellished), and so on.
Just looking at the documents, there were quite a few investors and sponsors to admire.
“There are people who sponsor this club?!”
“Outstanding members. Flawless slogans. Perfect work. It would be strange not to receive sponsorship.”
“Do you split all the sponsorship money?”
Yukveltire nodded her head.
At that sight, Lee Han immediately answered.
“Actually, I have no friends. Senior. Please help me.”
“I thought so. I’ll put your name on the club list too.”

Saturday.
Along with the weekend, outsiders began to appear one by one in the 7th floor village.
Seeing this, Einroguard students from 2nd to 4th year were stirring.
“That person is…! A master craftsman from the Capital Baking Guild has really come!”
“I can’t even imagine how many gold coins he’s collected from developing rising magic dough!”
“Everyone get lost! He’s a guest of the Cooking Club. Anyone who approaches will be thrown into the cauldron!”
Club members showed fierce wariness in case their guests might be stolen by outsiders.
But students not belonging to clubs were no pushovers either.
If they were mages who would give up obediently just because someone stopped them, they wouldn’t have been able to enter Einroguard in the first place.
Bang! Pop pop pop bang!
“Oh, what on earth is happening!”
“A fusion spirit! A fusion spirit has been summoned! It’s something that might happen once in a hundred years, friend!”
“Oh. I must see this!”
The upperclassmen desperately tried to catch their attention.
If guests from outside showed curiosity and wanted to watch, even club members couldn’t bring themselves to stop them.
“Interesting. May I take a look?”
“Ugh. Those bastards…!”
“Go ahead and try. You won’t be able to extract a single gold coin with such petty tricks.”
“Be careful! You might get kidnapped!”
“Haha. Are you joking?”
“Is this your first time at Einroguard? You really might get kidnapped!”
‘It’s a festival alright… but quite a brutal festival.’
Lee Han, who was waiting with other students in the 7th floor village, thought to himself as he watched the fierce competition among the upperclassmen.
As several outsiders who had come out of curiosity gathered, the upperclassmen were using every trick they could think of to somehow entice them.
-Do you see this pitifully dying sprout? If only we had some insignificant liquid to give this sprout, we could bring it back to lush green life!
-What kind of liquid do you need?
-Dra… a little dragon’s blood…
-…
“Shouldn’t we be moving too?”
“No. Let’s wait a bit. If we rush now, we’ll just be pushed aside by the upperclassmen.”
“Wardanaz. Any thoughts of kidnapping?”
While the 2nd year friends were chattering, more outsiders gathered and more upperclassmen targeting those outsiders also gathered.
Then impromptu self-introductions began.
“Respected guests. I sincerely thank you for visiting this honorable magic school today. I am from the Summoning Magic School…”
“Boo! You’re only 5th place!”
“Summoning Magic 5th place! Failed one subject last year!”
“You’re a disgrace to Einroguard!”
“…”
“…”
Lee Han and his friends squeezed their eyes shut at the upperclassmen’s sordid interference.
To think it would be this sordid!
‘I really don’t want to become like that.’
Fortunately though, despite such interference, the upperclassmen’s introductions flowed quite decently.
Some of the upperclassmen’s appeals were definitely persuasive, as several outside guests showed signs of concentration.
“Excuse me.”
“?”
Lee Han turned his head when an unfamiliar guest spoke to him.
It was a guest wearing quite unfamiliar clothing.
‘What region’s clothing is that?’
“I’m looking for someone.”
“Ah. Yes. Who might that be?”
“Lee Han of Wardanaz Family. Do you know him?”
“…I think I might have heard of him…”
Lee Han responded without realizing it.
The countless experiences at Einroguard had made Lee Han grow.
“But excuse me, who are you?”
“I am called Intarendals. I came here on orders from Lord Gonadaltes.”
“…Ah. You’re the Principal’s subordinate?”
“The Principal?”
“…”
When the other person looked puzzled as if hearing this for the first time, Lee Han’s face instantly turned pale.
