Chapter 910

When Professor Garcia seemed to be deflecting and hiding something, Lee Han looked at him suspiciously.

But Professor Garcia was indeed a professor. When dealing with students, professors never lost.

“Student Lee Han. Listen carefully to what I’m about to say.”

“Yes!”

“To bring out magic that could deal damage to that demigod, we’d need to activate ancient artifacts…”

“No. There’s no need for that.”

When Professor Boladi interrupted, Professor Garcia looked puzzled.

“Do you have another method?”

“Yes.”

Along with his answer, Professor Boladi pointed to the sky.

A familiar Gold Dragon was flying over like an arrow.

“…”

How long had it been since he issued the house arrest order, and here was the Imperial Family member flying over in violation of it – Lee Han’s expression became complicated.

* * *

Professor Bagrek. What do you think about Jowrin going out for a short while?

“?”

When Lee Han busily left his seat due to exams, Jowrin began to scheme.

Of course, Jowrin had deeply reflected and promised never to use her physical form recklessly again.

But going out was a separate matter, wasn’t it?

She quickly grew tired of playing with the baby basilisk in front of the common room fireplace.

Jowrin missed the times when she roamed Einroguard together with Lee Han.

“Of course it’s possible, Dragon!”

Professor Bendozol answered readily and then growled at Professor Boladi.

“If you have any human heart, let the Dragon go out for a short while.”

“No.”

“What exactly is wrong with you! Don’t you have any human heart?!”

When the two started fighting again, Jowrin hurriedly stopped them.

Not out of guilt, but because she was worried they might get caught by Lee Han later if they fought.

S-stop! It was just a simple question!

“Is that so, Dragon! I misunderstood your simple question.”

So Professor Bagrek. What do you think…

Professor Boladi conveyed his meaning through the traditional expression method of shaking his head slightly from side to side.

‘Hmph.’

Jowrin regretted sending a letter to Professor Boladi to visit the school.

Though it couldn’t be helped at the time, if it had been a slightly less strict professor guarding the door now…

It didn’t even have to be a less strict professor.

If it had been someone like Professor Verdus instead, Jowrin could have secretly escaped and then thrown a tantrum!

Due to her recently increased social intelligence, Jowrin’s regret could only be greater.

In the end, Jowrin gave up and crouched in front of the fireplace again.

In a way, it might have been for the better.

If she truly reflected sincerely on her wrongdoings, Lee Han might reduce her sentence a little.

-Are you really okay with not sneaking out?

Mm-hmm.

-Then can’t I sneak out alone? I don’t think I’d get caught.

No.

Jowrin hugged the baby basilisk tightly. The baby basilisk struggled but couldn’t escape from the dragon’s embrace.

If even Basil disappeared, Jowrin would become far too bored.

-I won’t get caught though…

Jowrin hears nothing.

-Huh? Something stirred over there.

!

The baby basilisk pointed outside the window with its tail, looking puzzled.

A strange emanation of power was felt from the mountain range direction.

The baby basilisk, being of exceptionally strong bloodline by species alone, sensitively noticed the sense of unease.

Naturally, Jowrin noticed it too.

That’s strange!

-Right!

But strange things often happen at Einroguard originally.

-That’s also right.

The two intelligent animals immediately understood.

Though the power emanation felt from far away was strong and threatening, this was Einroguard.

Strange things happened frequently enough.

Indeed, another strange thing happened right away. Professor Garcia came to visit the front of the tower.

“Professor Bagrek. You felt that wave just now, right? It seems to be from the workshop where that projection is staying, so I’m going to check it out. Would you come with me?”

“Understood.”

“Oh my. Are you both leaving?”

At Professor Garcia’s sudden visit, Professor Bendozol’s face lit up with joy.

It had already been torture being with this inorganic professor, but not only was this a visit, he was even taking him away!

As expected of someone with at least some conscience among Einroguard professors.

“Yes. There’s something to check.”

“I see. Go ahead, Professor Bagrek. I’ll guard this place well by myself.”

“Keeping promises symbolizes one’s dignity as a being.”

“…What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing. Do as you please.”

Professor Boladi left immediately after saying only those words.

Though the situation wasn’t confirmed yet, if preparing for the worst, they needed to move quickly.

Left alone, Professor Bendozol ground his teeth.

“How dare he leave such words behind! If he thinks this Bendozol will be swayed, he’s mistaken! Do you think I can’t let the Dragon go free!”

He waved his fist as if shouting at Professor Boladi, but the opponent who had already flown far away in the air naturally couldn’t hear.

Professor Bendozol moved his steps heavily while pondering.

‘…The habit of keeping promises is certainly important. Considering that the Dragon is still young, even more so…’

As Professor Bendozol knew more about the Empire’s animals than anyone, he also knew well how important it was to teach habits of promises and rules to intelligent and powerful species.

If Professor Bendozol arbitrarily indulged her whims and overlooked her going out now, an evil and vile dragon might be born decades later.

* * *

“Wait. But how did you come here?”

Lee Han looked puzzled while listening to the story.

From what he could see, Professor Boladi had bound Professor Bendozol with a single word, so shouldn’t Jowrin be unable to sneak out?

He just stepped aside when Jowrin asked?

“…”

Lee Han regretted listening to the story just now.

Professor Bendozol’s worries and realizations were so fleeting they crumbled with just one request.

Jowrin spoke while reading the mood.

O-originally Jowrin was going to stay inside too. But seeing Professor Bagrek and Professor Garcia both moving made her worried… The power waves were getting stronger too… A-and Basil here agreed too.

-Why, why drag me into this too.

The baby basilisk hanging behind cried out with a tearful expression.

It was already miserable enough because of the banishment punishment, so why did they keep reporting things that would lead to additional penalties?

Lee Han, who had been quietly observing Jowrin, slowly opened his mouth.

“Your Majesty.”

Hmm?

“I’m embarrassed to ask this when I’ve lectured you about not acting recklessly or giving parts of your body to others… but I need Your Majesty’s help.”

…!

Jowrin’s large eyes blinked repeatedly, then bright joy spread across her entire face.

Jowrin can help! Jowrin really wants to do that! Wow! So exciting!

When Lee Han asked for help for the first time, Jowrin trembled with excitement, unable to control her wings.

The baby basilisk glanced around nervously and asked.

-But, shouldn’t we not be excited about the current situation?

…Cancel what I just said!

“If it’s breath, the nearby defenses will be completely disabled.”

Professor Garcia spoke while coldly calculating the situation.

That demigod hamster (though she couldn’t guess why it was in hamster form) had built solid defenses by changing the laws and order in this area.

They would need to bring out magic beyond that level, but if it was a dragon’s breath, the story would be different.

By completely destroying and demolishing the surroundings, the chains binding the laws and order would also be severed.

“When Your Majesty fires the breath, Professor Bagrek and I will handle it immediately.”

Understood! Lee Han, hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Lee Han climbed onto Jowrin’s back, slightly regretting having asked for help.

Seeing this, the Death Knights sent signals and took flight first. They planned to confuse the line of sight in preparation for any possible counterattack from the demigod hamster.

I forbid approach.

The demigod hamster, who had been quietly focusing only on descent after creating distance and turning space into a labyrinth, sternly warned against the Death Knights’ offensive.

A powerful law of submission flew toward the Death Knight charging with a spear.

-Ha!

The Death Knight immediately reverse-summoned itself. As its existence disappeared, the encroaching law also lost its target and vanished.

When another Death Knight tapped the pommel of its sword tip, the just reverse-summoned Death Knight revealed itself again.

It was an acrobatic feat and trick only possible for death knights fighting in their territory.

-So, you’re a demigod? Receive our tribute!

A Death Knight with relatively long experience among the knights raised both arms on its mount and created a black sphere.

Pop!

The sphere disappeared and was absorbed directly by the demigod hamster.

A pure tribute with no intention of attack whatsoever.

However, that tribute made the demigod hamster’s movements sluggish.

-Tributes made of darkness seem quite hard to digest!

-Offer more!

Knights who had rolled around battlefields for decades had become monsters skilled not only in combat power but in all sorts of tricks and techniques.

Death Knights who had fought dozens of times longer knew how to attack even if their opponent was a demigod.

While the demigod hamster pushed away the forced tributes with annoyance, Jowrin took Lee Han and occupied the skies.

Jowrin is ready! If Lee Han helps with mana like last time…!

“I’m ready too, Your Majesty. I’ll be counting on you.”

Lee Han’s voice carried an unusual languidness different from usual.

But Jowrin, excited by adventure and battle, didn’t notice.

Now!

As the dragon’s maw gaped open and began preparing to pour out a powerful torrent of force, the Death Knights quickly deployed evasive maneuvers in all directions.

If they got hit by that, even if they revived in the territory, they would need at least several months of recovery.

Stop the attack, commander…

Commander?

“Ignore it.”

Got it!

Hearing Lee Han’s confirmation, Jowrin began her breath.

A golden waterfall brilliant as the sun itself.

That waterfall struck the demigod hamster directly from high above.

Jowrin, who had been excitedly pouring out breath, felt her depleted mana recovering and flapped her wings.

With this reliable ally on her back, it felt like she could fly anywhere.

Once, twice, three times, four times…

Commander!

With a death scream, the demigod hamster’s telepathy was cut off. The laws and order it had spread around also returned to normal.

Before Professor Boladi or Professor Garcia could step forward, the giants who had been grinding their teeth charged forward with fierce battle cries.

-You! You bastard!!

-We’ll turn you into a coffin hamster!

Lee Han! Jowrin won again! You may praise me!

“Well done… Your Majesty.”

…?

Only then did Jowrin feel something was off.

Unlike usual, Lee Han’s voice was far too powerless.

Normally he would have been equally excited and praised her…?

Lee Han? …Lee Han?!!!

Jowrin let out a shrill scream. Lee Han had collapsed on the dragon’s back.

Looking closely, there was even blood around his mouth.

Blood! Blood!! Lee Han! Blood! Blood! Blood!!

“The blood is from earlier… I’m fine.”

Lee Han, who had forcibly endured the failed magic casting and continued moving afterward, was in a half-exhausted state.

Even with infinite mana, physical and mental fatigue had overwhelmed him.

Even in his confused state of consciousness, he explained to calm Jowrin, but it didn’t help much.

Yoooooou can’t die!!! Lee Han! Lee Han??

No answer came from Lee Han, who had fallen into deep sleep. Jowrin felt a terror as if the world was ending.
