Chapter 924

‘Could it be that the Teleportation Club isn’t a secret society like I thought?’

Among the unofficial clubs, some clubs kept their very existence secret.

Clubs like the 【Professor Assassination Club】 (Lee Han had never heard of it, but he was certain it must exist) or the 【Einroguard Truth Exposure Club】 couldn’t operate openly.

Lee Han naturally assumed the Teleportation Club was also that type of secret society.

They had deliberately chosen a different name and the club’s location wasn’t disclosed to outsiders…

“Is it okay for the professors to know about the Teleportation Club’s existence?”

“Well, they probably suspect it anyway.”

Sevius didn’t seem particularly concerned. Lee Han became even more confused.

“Is that really okay?”

“As long as they don’t find our base, there’s surprisingly little problem. If we don’t get caught in the act, there’s no evidence. You don’t get sent to detention just for forming a Teleportation Club according to school rules.”

‘Sometimes I think the seniors have gone crazy.’

Lee Han thought to himself.

Of course, anyone at Einroguard would develop some degree of madness, but the seniors’ madness was a bit more severe.

“Could I possibly come along too?”

“Hmm.”

At his junior’s question, Sevius frowned.

“Ah. If it’s against club rules…”

“No. The other guys all said they wanted to bring you along.”

“…”

Lee Han was more popular with the Teleportation Club seniors than he had thought.

It was inevitable.

What mattered to skilled thieves—no, skilled teleportation specialists—was ability.

Whether the junior was a second-year or from the Blue Dragon Tower didn’t matter. What mattered was where the junior had successfully infiltrated.

“But these jobs are more dangerous than you’d think.”

“I’m prepared for that.”

Lee Han spoke confidently.

In the past, he would have asked ‘How dangerous exactly?’, but his experience at Einroguard had made Lee Han grow.

Now he would first think ‘However dangerous it is, it probably won’t be that dangerous.’

‘This is a legitimate opportunity to go outside. I can’t miss it.’

“I acknowledge your skills, but think seriously. If you get caught outside…”

“Do I get locked up in an external prison?”

“No. The Principal comes to get you out. Then you usually go to detention for the crime of being caught outside.”

“…”

It was much stranger than he had thought. Lee Han shook his head and said.

“I want to go anyway.”

“Alright. Then I’ll put your name down too.”

As Sevius dipped his quill in ink and wrote down his junior’s name, he suddenly felt puzzled.

‘But this guy joined quite a lot of clubs, didn’t he? Can he handle them all?’

* * *

“Junior. If you can’t participate in the Ballgame match because of other clubs, I’ll assassinate all those club members.”

“…”

“It’s a joke, of course.”

‘It doesn’t sound like a joke.’

The dark elf senior’s eyes gleamed with unwavering conviction.

It was the gaze of a madman who would set Einroguard on fire for the sake of a Ballgame match.

“Um. Senior Hormashi.”

“Yeah. Junior.”

“You know that Prince Jowurin returned to the capital, right?”

“I heard.”

Karnella let out deep sighs with an expression that blatantly showed emotions like regret, lingering attachment, bitterness, remorse, grief, and lamentation.

Then she said.

“Of course, suggesting we ride Prince Jowurin into the match was a joke.”

“…”

If nothing else, Lee Han thought to himself that he should never trust the jokes made by this White Tiger Tower third-year.

“But you still have the griffin and unicorn, basilisk and giant, and Mountain Destroyer, don’t you?”

“That seems to include quite a few strange things.”

-That’s, that’s too much for me!

The baby basilisk cried out in a terrified voice.

It didn’t yet have the confidence to carry Lee Han on its back and fight against large monsters.

“Strange things? Well, maybe the unicorn’s injuries haven’t fully healed yet…”

“…I’ll ride the griffin.”

“Aren’t you deciding too hastily? The ability to flexibly change after seeing what the opponent rides out on is also a Ballgame player’s skill.”

“I’ll just ride the griffin.”

At her junior’s firm response, Karnella felt disappointed.

He had the qualities of an excellent Ballgame player, so why was he acting so inflexibly?

“Well, I understand. This Hormashi also rides out on our puppy the most.”

-That person rides a puppy??

“No. The puppy she’s talking about is Cerberus.”

-…

Comforting the shocked baby basilisk, Lee Han asked.

“But Senior. Who’s the opponent and where will we be fighting?”

“The location is Granden City.”

It was the large city closest to Einroguard and a place familiar to Lee Han as well.

“The opponent is the Baldrogard Ballgame team.”

“…Wait! Is that okay?!”

Lee Han was startled.

Karnella didn’t understand what her junior meant by the question and asked again.

“What is?”

“Einroguard students attack like they want to kill whenever they see Baldrogard students.”

“That… it’s not quite that extreme.”

Even Karnella was slightly flustered by that statement.

Of course, the Empire’s magic school students had some competitive psychology, but to that extent…?

“Won’t it turn into a brawl instead of a Ballgame match?”

“Wait. Junior. What do you take honorable Ballgame players for?”

Karnella firmly lectured her junior for looking down on the pride and honor of Ballgame players.

Of course, it didn’t work on Lee Han.

Any honor had already disappeared from the moment she tried to field giants or Jowurin.

“And the Baldrogard Ballgame team is quite high-level. You absolutely must not let your guard down.”

‘What?’

When his senior spoke seriously, Lee Han was startled once again.

There were actually high-level things at Baldrogard?

But it was true.

“Those bastards don’t study magic, don’t do assignments, don’t take exams, so they can use their free time however they want. They can spend gold coins freely too, so they can deploy rare creatures as they please. …Damn it. When I think about how we lost the hydra to those bastards last time…”

As she explained, Karnella suddenly seemed to remember past grievances and muttered in a resentful voice.

The affluence of Baldrogard students always made Einroguard students furious.

‘I should pray that no hydra appears.’

The senior’s grudge didn’t really matter to Lee Han, and what the other side would bring out was more important.

When Lee Han heard that the Baldrogard ball team had once bought a hydra, he regretted not building a friendship with them.

If he had known they had a hydra, he would have treated them a bit more kindly!

“Still, don’t worry too much, junior. This Hormashi will take the lead and smash the opponent’s skull.”p>

“You meant to say score a goal, right?”

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: 【Urgent】 Seeking info on unofficial clubs that can go outside.

Iaktus: Mage Card Club.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: 【Urgent】 Seeking info on unofficial clubs that can go outside (excluding Mage Card Club).

Iaktus: …

“!”

When the Watchman Club members started conversing again without him knowing, Lee Han took out his artifact.

Since there was already a lot to prepare for the club’s external activities, information was always needed.

Gonadaltes: Why are you asking about unofficial clubs that can go outside?

Iaktus: Probably wants something brought from outside. Official clubs probably don’t meet the conditions.

While official clubs had easier outings, their small numbers and fixed locations and purposes made it difficult to ask for favors if conditions didn’t match.

Gonadaltes: Why not the Mage Card Club?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Those idiots only go to mage card shops when they go outside and stay there all day before coming back. Can’t entrust them with requests.

“…”

Lee Han sighed.

Not because of the Mage Card Club members’ single-minded nature, but because he felt sorry that Gainando couldn’t get in there.

‘Really unfortunate.’

Gonadaltes: May I ask about the request details?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Oh. What’s this, my friend with the evil name. Interested in the request?

Iaktus: Don’t be fooled. You know what kind of dangerous request they’ll give.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Shut up. We’re not new students, everyone can judge for themselves.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox silenced Iaktus and then quickly explained the request.

Fortunately, the request wasn’t too difficult. Two bundles of purple round wood, swan song preserved in sealed crystals, and three bottles of fairy honey wine. Items that could be bought with just money.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Don’t worry, it’s absolutely not for suspicious purposes.

‘Saying it like that makes it feel even more suspicious.’

Lee Han already knew that Beaver-Penguin-Fox was Senior Ilendil.

Since that senior, being a dryad hybrid, was the person who cherished and loved the forest most at Einroguard, this request was probably related to forest recovery too.

The need for wood and all, it’s not like they would do anything that suspicious…

‘…That’s true, but probably not this time.’

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Five times. I’ll pay five times the price.

Gonadaltes: Understood. Don’t expect too much though.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Excellent! I don’t know why I thought you were crazy when you joined the club!

Iaktus: I can tell. Just looking at the name in front should remind you. But Gonadaltes, which club are you in that your outing is confirmed?

Gonadaltes: A club whose name you don’t know.

Iaktus: By any chance, the Professor Attack Club?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Is there such a club?

Iaktus: Don’t know. Just said it because it seemed like there might be.

Hello.

“?”

Iaktus: ?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: ??

Iaktus: …What?

Hello. Um, can you not see my message?

A chilling silence fell over the Watchman Club gathering.

Lee Han’s eyes widened.

‘A new member!!’

The Watchman Club recruited new members in two ways.

One was Bakwantalana, who served as administrator, manipulating the communication artifact to connect them to this gathering.

Lee Han had been invited and entered this way.

And the other was acquiring an artifact already connected to the Watchman Club gathering.

This mysterious stranger who just appeared was clearly the latter. The Einrogard students were very tense.

If the other person was a professor or the Skeleton Principal’s minion…

Hello. Hello. Hello?

Gonadaltes: Don’t know who you are, but reveal your identity. Who are you?

The first to shake off fear and move his quill was Lee Han.

He stepped forward because the other person didn’t seem to be the Skeleton Principal or his minion.

‘Could it be a new student?’

If a new student was wandering around Einroguard and happened to pick up an artifact, that slow reaction would make sense.

If it were an upperclassman from Einroguard, they would have immediately understood what the silence the members were showing meant.

Ah. Sorry. I’m a third-year from Baldrogard… wait, I almost got tricked. How do I trust that you’re not evil artifacts trying to deceive me and find out my name?

Iaktus: …

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: …

Iaktus: Bakwantalana!!! Bakwantalana!!!

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Where did Bakwantalana go! Come quickly!

Iaktus: This isn’t the time to be doing other things!!! A crazy guy got into the club!!!

The Watchman Club members were thrown into chaos by the newcomer’s identity that exceeded expectations and called for Bakwantalana.

How on earth did a Baldrogard guy get into this Watchman Club???
