Chapter 911
“…What on earth is happening!?”
The two professors who had locked the demigod hamster back in the black prison with the help of the breath and completely reverse-summoned it were bewildered by an unexpected sight.
The dragon was crying so loudly the ground seemed to cave in.
Waaaaaaaaaah!
“Your, Your Majesty. What’s wrong?”
Lee Han is dying! This, this isn’t the kind of adventure Jowrin had in mind…!
Jowrin was crying so hard she could barely speak properly.
The adventures she had heard in fairy tales and legends were always about brave heroes defeating enemies together with outstanding comrades, never about helplessly watching a fallen contractor.
If this was what adventure was like, Jowrin would ban adventures throughout the Empire!
“What are you… But he’s just sleeping?”
Professor Garcia checked Lee Han’s condition and spoke.
“Professor Bagrek?”
“That’s right.”
“Yes. He just seems to have collapsed from exhaustion.”
Despite the two professors’ assurance, the dragon who had become increasingly suspicious lately didn’t believe them.
How can I believe you’re not trying to deceive or appease Jowrin!
“…By any chance, has someone been deceiving Your Majesty recently? No. Check for yourself. He’s really fine.”
Jowrin hesitantly checked at Professor Garcia’s words.
She had been too afraid to check, but his pulse was really beating.
Then, then why did he collapse? Could it be because Jowrin shot too much breath?!
“No. It’s probably not because of that.”
Professor Garcia, who knew Lee Han’s magical power well, immediately denied it.
She had assisted with breath usage before, and there was no way he couldn’t handle it now all of a sudden.
But, but I used more than last time.
“Even so, it wouldn’t make much difference. Your Majesty.”
…
At Professor Garcia’s answer, Jowrin harbored suspicion inside.
Perhaps this professor before her was actually a cold-hearted person who wouldn’t care even if her disciple collapsed and coughed up blood?
‘Come to think of it, Lee Han also said all the professors are cold and heartless!’
“He probably collapsed because he overused magic before coming here. Apart from magical power, human concentration has its limits too.”
“He used thunder transformation.”
“Pardon?”
Professor Garcia tilted her head at Professor Boladi’s words.
Then Professor Boladi began the kind of long explanation he sometimes showed in the professors’ common room, different from his usual demeanor.
This power, originating from the authority of the Spirit King known by the alias Thunder General or Thunder King, was originally called Flash Thunder Transformation, and the Wardanaz family boy…
‘I shouldn’t have asked.’
Professor Garcia deeply regretted it.
There was a lot to clean up right now, and there was no reason to be listening to such stories.
But Professor Garcia was the youngest among the Einroguard professors, which meant she had once been a disciple under the Einroguard professors.
The hierarchy between professor and disciple once established was a law more powerful than most curses or oaths.
Professor Garcia grumbled inwardly but didn’t dare think of interrupting and listened attentively.
Fortunately, it was interesting content though…
“Wait. You recommended that?!”
“I did not recommend it.”
“Of, of course. I see.”
Professor Garcia suspected inwardly like the dragon beside her.
Did he really not recommend it?
“Ahem. I understand that student Lee Han has been interested in thunder transformation magic lately, but that’s not necessarily proof he used it just now, is it?”
Still, as his teacher, Professor Garcia subtly took Lee Han’s side.
Even without going as far as reckless magic like thunder transformation, student Lee Han was someone who could easily collapse.
Just looking at what he usually does…
Professor Boladi stretched out his hand and pointed behind them. Lightning filled with thoughts and concepts could be seen penetrating the demigod hamster and leaving traces on the rock wall.
“…Indeed.”
When, when will Lee Han wake up?
“He’ll get up as soon as he recovers a bit. You don’t need to worry.”
Professor Garcia performed simple first aid.
Having a lot of magical power meant that homeostasis became proportionally stronger.
Her disciple had so much magical power that the word “a lot” couldn’t properly express it, so his recovery was fast even in situations like this. There didn’t seem to be much to worry about.
“Right. Let’s finish sealing the others before the other black prisons open.”
Professor Boladi nodded. The Death Knights also expressed agreement.
Even with just one black prison opened, this much commotion had occurred, so they couldn’t imagine how troublesome it would become if more opened.
Jowrin has something curious.
“What are you curious about?”
Professor Garcia asked back kindly.
This tender-hearted dragon seemed to have received a big shock today, so she felt sorry for her. Whatever she asked, she felt she should answer kindly.
Why aren’t the other professors coming?
“…”
-…
Professor Garcia and the Death Knights fell silent in unison. Professor Boladi opened his mouth.
“That’s.”
“I, I’ll answer!”
* * *
“!”
Lee Han, who woke up after a good sleep, was startled by the sight of a huge dragon crouched beside him, dozing.
“Your Majesty!”
Huh!?
“What happened to the continent? Has it already been conquered by the demigods…”
Waaaah! Lee Han has become strange!
Jowrin, not understanding the situation, wailed again.
She mistakenly thought Lee Han was seeing hallucinations due to pain and fatigue.
‘Not yet then.’
Lee Han, who belatedly understood the situation, checked the Einroguard main building below the mountain range.
It was peaceful as always.
There was an explosion on the 11th floor and giant tentacles were pouring out of the 4th floor window, but well, if this was the extent…
‘It’s fine.’
“I’m sorry. Your Majesty. I was mistaken. Einroguard wasn’t attacked or anything while I was unconscious, right.”
Yeah…
Hearing the confirmation, Lee Han breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, the two professors were amazing. They had somehow prevented the summoning of the demigod army.
“Student Lee Han. Are you awake?”
“Professor!”
The sight of the two professors returning couldn’t have felt more majestic. Lee Han greeted them with full respect.
“You professors have saved the continent!”
“I, I don’t think it’s quite that much.”
Professor Garcia was slightly embarrassed.
Of course, if they hadn’t stopped it, things might have gotten a little bigger, but hearing that they saved the continent over something like this was a bit embarrassing.
“Good work.”
“Thank you. Have all the demigod legions been eliminated?”
“No. I’ve only sealed them.”
Professor Garcia shook her head and explained.
The insane doppelganger had used that short time after making his decision quite efficiently.
He had cast Black Emperor consecutively, then tried to make contracts with the demigods inside and bring them out one by one.
Of course, such magic required enormous power, so the insane doppelganger planned to bring out only the first demigod with magic, then use that demigod’s power for the rest.
Fortunately, after blocking the first demigod, they were able to quickly seal the remaining Black Emperors, so they were lucky.
“We blocked the first demigod and sealed the rest before they could even emerge, so it should be fine for now. Reverse summoning things like that isn’t easy either.”
Since Black Emperor itself was such powerful magic, reverse summoning it without causing significant damage to the surroundings was quite a task.
Even for Einroguard’s professors, it wasn’t something two people could accomplish on the spot.
“Did you meet the projection?”
“Yes. I saw him. I also met the king of the yachas. He seemed remarkably wise.”
Professor Garcia expressed goodwill toward the Yachaowang.
Originally, beings from other dimensions were often eccentric or unpredictable.
Especially the more powerful they were, the more so.
But the Yachaowang, despite having enough power to seal the insane doppelganger, never lost his courtesy and dignity when dealing with mortals.
He was truly a rare being.
“It’s good that student Lee Han made a contract with such a person. That’s fortunate.”
“…I, I see.”
Lee Han wanted to complain that because of the Yachaowang, he had to make an unnecessary contract with the stars, but he held back.
Now wasn’t the time for that.
“Would it be possible to restore the Principal’s projection to normal?”
“Hmm.”
When Lee Han asked carefully, Professor Garcia showed difficulty.
“It won’t be easy. Unlike Black Emperor, he’s such an outstanding archmage himself…”
The seal the Yachaowang was currently casting appeared ordinary on the surface but was actually very high-level magic.
And not just one type, but dozens of different magics.
Stopping an archmage like the insane doppelganger was similar to playing simultaneous games against dozens of chess masters. One mistake would hand the initiative to the opponent.
One of the magics the Yachaowang was using was overlapping his own existence information with the enemy’s to prevent the opponent from doing anything.
It was a powerful seal, but this actually worked as a disadvantage when attacking from outside.
They could either damage the Yachaowang or interfere with him to release the insane doppelganger’s seal.
“So solving it through attack would be difficult. Student Lee Han.”
“Huh, weren’t we just talking about restoring him to normal? Why attack?”
Lee Han was puzzled when the professor answered something he hadn’t asked.
He had asked if there was a way to restore him, not if there was a way to eliminate him through attack.
Professor Garcia hesitated at Lee Han’s reaction.
“…I just thought student Lee Han might be curious! Haha! Hahaha!”
“???”
Lee Han didn’t quite understand why the professor was acting this way, but nodded for now.
Hiding her embarrassment at mistaking her disciple for someone obsessed with combat like Professor Boladi, Professor Garcia continued speaking.
“So I’m thinking of researching Yeongnak magic together with Professor Bagrek.”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised when he heard the name of a magic he knew.
‘Come to think of it, since you met the Yachaowang, you must have heard about it.’
Thinking about it, that talkative king wouldn’t have stayed quiet.
He must have advised the most effective method for the current situation.
So the two professors decided to research 【Gonadaltes’ Yeongnak】 as quickly as possible.
“I may be lacking, but I’ll help too.”
“Really? Student Lee Han. You must be tired already.”
Professor Garcia was inwardly pleased but tried not to show it outwardly.
Actually, according to what she heard from the Yachaowang, there was a high possibility that Lee Han would be needed for this solution.
Not for the magical aspect, but because his status as the insane doppelganger’s disciple would likely play a major role.
The persuasive power would be different between a complete outsider using 【Gonadaltes’ Yeongnak】 and a disciple using it…
“That may be true… but this is also my responsibility.”
Lee Han spoke with half resignation.
He was already too entangled with the insane doppelganger to just leave it to the two professors and ignore it.
Who knew when someone might come to kidnap him?
“…”
“Professor Bagrek?”
Professor Garcia was puzzled by Professor Boladi’s appearance, quietly contemplating without saying a word during all this.
Wasn’t this the time to praise his exemplary disciple?
“Ah. Sorry. I was thinking.”
“About what?”
Professor Boladi slowly explained.
Originally there was a midterm exam prepared, but given the special circumstances, whether to recognize today’s events as the midterm exam and just move on or not…
“…”
Professor Garcia was dumbfounded.
‘Does he have no human heart??’
His disciple, just a second-year student, had single-handedly blocked the stirring of demigods!
“I think you could recognize it?”
“But he must have had high expectations.”
Professor Garcia turned to look at Lee Han at those words. Lee Han shook his head slightly.
“Ignore the student’s opinion, Professor! We’re the professors.”
“Hmm. I find Professor Garcia’s thinking somewhat hard to agree with.”
Thoroughly scratching Professor Garcia’s nerves without needing to, Professor Boladi acknowledged that he would skip the midterm exam.
