Chapter 860

“??”

However, Eandurude, a proud gorgon hybrid, was different from Gainando who would do anything after being given a single chocolate, and just stared blankly at Lee Han.

Lee Han whispered quietly.

“Could you get along with His Majesty a bit?”

“…”

Eandurude showed an expression of conflict and anguish between the sense of duty to listen to a respected senior and hostility toward the evil and violent dragon.

The sight of him groaning and suffering made even Lee Han, who had made the suggestion, feel sorry.

“No. I think I spoke unnecessarily. Eandurude. Forget what I sai…”

“…Friend.”

Eandurude endured the attack and humiliation he had just suffered and extended his hand first.

Jowrin was overjoyed at the sight of her new gorgon hybrid friend.

Lee Han! This is Jowrin’s new friend! Did you see? Jowrin has so many friends!

‘It doesn’t seem like that many?’

Come to think of it, just as Professor Boladi’s disciples had increased by 100%, Jowrin’s friends could have also increased by 100%.

Lee Han congratulated her with a generous smile.

“It’s a miracle of Einroguard.”

Lee Han. Jowrin will make more Einroguard friends! Hurry!

Jowrin tapped her front paws as if telling him to quickly bring the Einroguard mages to this underground collapsed airfield.

Of course, Lee Han didn’t get carried away by the atmosphere and agree.

“That won’t do. Your Majesty.”

Why?! Wa, Wardanaz. Jowrin shall make more Einroguard friends!

“Speaking politely doesn’t make it acceptable…”

Jowrin seemed to think she had been rejected for speaking rudely and spoke politely again.

Of course, no matter how Jowrin spoke, Lee Han had no intention of granting her request.

Even the sturdy Eandurude had nearly broken several bones, so what about the other students?

And it wasn’t just the students he was worried about. He was also worried about Jowrin herself.

‘It’s hard to predict what might happen.’

It was horrifying to imagine what would happen if one of the crazy upperclassmen decided to try hunting Jowrin.

Moreover, wasn’t there also a projection of a mad archmage in the territory?

“Your Majesty. You visited because of an exam. So you shouldn’t wander around other places freely.”

Hmph.

Jowrin was sad but surprisingly didn’t throw a tantrum.

This was because she had already had a conversation with the Skeleton Principal before talking with Professor Boladi.

Come to think of it, he did say the students might fear Jowrin…

“It’s because Your Majesty overflows with such dignity.”

Lee Han doesn’t do that though, right?

“I…”

Come to think of it, Lee Han had dealt with many more terrifying monsters.

“…”

Lee Han was so dumbfounded that he was speechless.

The sight of Professor Boladi and Eandurude nodding slightly beside him was so annoying he wanted to smack them on the back of their heads.

“…I don’t fear Your Majesty.”

Of course! Now then, guide me.

“?”

Lee Han was confused, unable to follow Jowrin’s way of naturally skipping topics.

“Where to?”

Lee Han’s dormitory room.

“Why?”

He was so flustered that a casual question popped out instead of formal speech.

Fortunately, Jowrin didn’t mind at all.

We decided I’d stay there?

“…Who decided that with whom?”

With Gonadaltes?

To be precise, the conversation had proceeded in the order of ‘I’ll hide in Wardanaz’s room!’ ‘It’s not big enough for Your Majesty to enter’ ‘I can stay in human form!’ ‘But it would be uncomfortable for you’, but Jowrin remembered it however was convenient for her.

Unfortunately, Lee Han, who didn’t know the details of the conversation, couldn’t refute it.

‘This is insane. Is it time for Einroguard to collapse?’

When royalty came, they should offer Einroguard’s finest accommodations and it still wouldn’t be enough, so what was this about a cramped dormitory room?

…Come to think of it, other royalty had also stayed in cramped dormitory rooms. From a consistency standpoint, it made sense.

‘No… but this still isn’t right.’

Lee Han looked at Professor Boladi. It was a look asking for help, but naturally the professor didn’t understand.

“Professor. Wouldn’t it be better for His Majesty to stay somewhere else?”

Before Professor Boladi could answer, Jowrin answered first.

No! No! No!

…With a childish tantrum.

As the giant dragon performed rolling motions from side to side, collapsed debris flew in all directions. Eandurude turned pale and hid behind Lee Han.

“She says she doesn’t want to.”

“…I can see that too…”

Lee Han sighed and gave up.

If it were Professor Garcia, she might have been able to soothe Jowrin, but entrusting that to Professor Boladi was unreasonable.

‘Can’t be helped. I’ll let her in for now and if she whines about being uncomfortable, I’ll kick her out right away. …Wait, would putting her in the chicken coop cabin be blasphemy?’

Lee Han, who had been thinking of putting her in the secret base or an outside cabin if Jowrin complained about it being cramped, hesitated.

Come to think of it, it did feel quite a bit like blasphemy.

A place in Einroguard suitable for a dragon to stay…

“Wardanaz.”

Professor Boladi called Lee Han. Lee Han, who had been lost in thought, answered belatedly.

“Ah. Yes. Professor. Would it be alright if I tell you about the exam within this week?”

Lee Han didn’t know what kind of magic would be good to be tested on with Jowrin as the opponent, but he tried to buy time for now.

It really wasn’t a topic he could choose right now.

Fortunately, Professor Boladi readily agreed.

“Do so.”

“Thank you.”

“I’ll help move His Majesty.”

After agreeing, Professor Boladi brought up the reason he had just called Lee Han.

At the offer to help with moving, Lee Han tilted his head.

“I can do it myself though?”

Lee Han could handle the moving too.

If Jowrin transformed into a human, Lee Han could cast invisibility magic and then pass through the dormitory.

However, Professor Boladi shook his head.

“It would be difficult alone.”

“What do you mea…”

No. Wait and see!

Jowrin boasted confidently and then attempted to transform into human form. The giant dragon’s body stirred, then rippled as its form kept changing.

Just when it seemed she might maintain human form for a moment, Jowrin immediately returned to dragon form. Professor Boladi said matter-of-factly.

“Dragons that haven’t fully matured find transformation frustrating.”

“…Uh… wait a minute.”

Lee Han was flustered by the fact that Jowrin would enter his room in that massive form.

…Could she even fit?

‘No. The room does expand, but does it expand to that extent?’

“Professor. Is it really okay for His Majesty to enter the room?”

“Yes. It will expand.”

‘How does this person know that?’

Lee Han suddenly became curious about what kind of experiments Professor Boladi had conducted in dormitory rooms during his student days, but he didn’t have the leisure to ask about that now.

The dormitory’s private room was about to become a dragon’s nest.

‘Should I be grateful that she can at least enter? She’ll be staying for a week or two… If she’s uncomfortable, I might be able to get her out faster…’

Lee Han! Jowrin will behave herself!

“Haha.”

Lee Han laughed as he looked at the broken debris behind Jowrin.

If things went wrong, he might become the first student in Blue Dragon Tower history to collapse the dormitory.

“Then Professor. I’ll leave it to you.”

Professor Boladi nodded and cast a veil of transparency and perception interference over the massive dragon. In an instant, the dragon’s form disappeared.

Next, Professor Boladi repaired the destroyed underground airfield. Jowrin coughed awkwardly.

It wasn’t on purpose.

“Your Majesty. You must be quiet inside.”

I understand! Trust Jowrin, Professor Bagrek!

Jowrin nodded her head vigorously, then lightly bit Eandurude with an ‘ahng.’ Naturally, Eandurude reacted violently as if it was the most unpleasant thing in the world.

Why, why?!

“Wouldn’t it be better to just stay on the shoulder?”

“Grrrrowl! Grrrrrrowl!”

Let’s go play with Jowrin!

Thud-

Before Lee Han could ask what that was about, Eandurude stopped barking.

Eandurude also wanted to visit the Blue Dragon Tower second-year dormitory where Yoner and Lee Han lived.

“…Professor. Please take care of Eandurude as well.”

Professor Boladi nodded with an expressionless face and waved his staff. Lee Han felt newly grateful to Professor Boladi.

Another professor wouldn’t have been so accommodating, would they?

‘…No wait. This person was the one who brought her here in the first place!’

“???”

Professor Boladi was puzzled by his disciple’s gaze.

* * *

In the Blue Dragon Tower second-year common room, Gainando was reading the puppy beastman detective Toberiz series that he had obtained with difficulty.

Gainando grumbled at the ridiculous tricks.

“Does this make sense?”

“Why are you complaining again? Prince, you always grumble while reading that magazine, so why do you keep reading it?”

“This is how you’re supposed to read it! Look at this. Look at this content!”

Gainando excitedly dragged his friends over, sat them down in front, and began explaining.

The friends regretted asking ‘Why did I even talk to him?’ but it was too late.

“Do you know what this mage is hiding in his sleeve when he goes to the magic tower dormitory?”

“What is he hiding?”

“A dragon! A dragon!”

“Well… it could be a dragon…”

“Hey! How do you hide a dragon in your sleeve! And how do you hide it in a dormitory room!”

Gainando jumped up and down at his friends’ reaction.

These guys don’t even have basic magical common sense!

“Maybe it transformed to be small.”

“If it’s going to transform small, transforming into a human would be a much better method! Why put it in a sleeve?!”

‘This guy should study magic like this.’

‘I’m definitely going to tell Wardanaz about this.’

The guy who usually did spells and gestures carelessly was only being picky like a professor at times like this.

Creak-

Meanwhile, the door opened from behind and Lee Han quietly entered. Lee Han tried to go up to his private room like a ghost without disturbing his friends’ chatter.

But he couldn’t escape Gainando’s eyes. Gainando called out happily.

“Lee Han! …and Professor??”

At the words that followed, the Blue Dragon Tower students let out short screams and threw their bodies to the side.

They instinctively reacted to the news that a professor had entered the dormitory.

Lee Han hurriedly called out to calm his friends.

“Don’t worry, it’s not like the Principal’s raid or anything. The Professor just came to help me briefly.”

“…Wh-what exactly are you helping with that requires visiting the dormitory?”

“Uh… something related to lectures and exams.”

“…”

The friends were shocked.

They knew Professor Bagrek’s lectures were terrible, but they never imagined he would chase a student all the way to the dormitory to pressure them.

Einroguard professors always exceeded imagination!

“Well. I’ll be going now. Everyone have fun.”

“???”

Gainando tilted his head.

He definitely couldn’t hear any sound, but the stairs going up were breaking step by step.

What kind of bizarre phenomenon was this?

Professor Boladi calmly waved his staff to restore the stairs. Then he went upstairs.

“Even so, following us all the way to the dormitory.”

“It’s scary. I’m really scared of Einroguard. Will we be like that when we become third years??”

“N-no way.”

While his friends were chattering in shock, Gainando carefully went up the stairs.

Then he knocked on Lee Han’s private room door and threw it open.

“Grrrrowl!”

Sorry! Sorry! Jowrin is sorry! I didn’t step on and crush it on purpose…

“It would be better to move it to the left so the books don’t get damaged.”

Gainando blinked at the chaotic scene inside. Lee Han, who belatedly noticed his friend, was startled and pulled Gainando inside.

“Why did you follow me?!”

“Wh-what is all this…?”

“…It can’t be helped. Let’s take care of Gainando too.”

Wow! A servant?!

Gainando bristled at the rudeness of the dragon he was seeing for the first time.
