Chapter 933

‘Is it okay for an Einroguard mage to do this?’

Arien pondered.

At least their identity hadn’t been discovered.

With invisibility magic and disguise magic layered on, it would be impossible to guess who the opponent was.

…It’s because I acted too aggressively!

He had often heard stories of Einroguard mages secretly recovering items without anyone knowing, leaving the victims fuming in frustration, but this was the first time he’d seen someone beat them up and take the items.

“The Young Master of Wardanaz Family must have thought it all through before doing it, probably?”

In the end, Arien could only say that.

No matter how experienced a merchant Arien was, he was still an outsider when it came to Einroguard affairs.

Seeing a student act like that, he could only think ‘so this is how it’s done.’

‘Is this really okay?’

Amur found it interesting.

Amur was also from the wild lands where rough rules dominated, but wasn’t the culture in cities a bit different?

The Wardanaz Family Boy’s actions were satisfying.

So satisfying it was problematic…

“It should be fine. And you won’t do it again in the future, right?”

“Of course. Please trust me.”

Lee Han firmly promised the two who had come to help him.

Lee Han didn’t particularly like violent methods to begin with.

It was better to quietly take things away – why attack the opponent?

* * *

-Master. This is sealed with ancient script, could you help me?

-…I’m only helping this once. Recite it like this. αρχαίος…

-Who goes there! Show yourself! What bastard dares… Gack!

-Damn it!

An abandoned underground prison located near the city.

It was a magic warehouse built at great expense, accessible only through ancient script interpretation, but unfortunately for it, the intruder had an ancient being by his side.

And even more unfortunately, the owner who happened to come check on it once encountered the intruder.

-Phew. This time for real, let’s resolve this quietly without any fighting. …Basilisk, hey? Basil. Are you there?

-Yes!

-Then I’ll ask you to…

-Ba… There’s a basilisk inside! There’s a basilisk inside!

-…Damn it!!

A secret alchemy workshop located beneath a fabric shop.

The reagent vault accessible only through basilisk whispers was easily opened by an intruder traveling with a baby basilisk.

And the owner of that reagent vault heard the basilisk’s hissing sounds, cried out in surprise, and was subdued by the intruder.

-…This was really just bad luck. Next time will be different. Got it?

-Can’t we just subdue them by force and rob them?

-No! That would be dishonorable as a thief, no, as a location transfer specialist.

The baby basilisk thought to himself.

Humans really do incomprehensible things.

After that, Lee Han continued moving to recover the remaining items from the commission, and succeeded.

Judging by the time taken alone, it was an amazingly fast pace. Other club seniors would have applauded if they had seen it.

…The problem was that he had beaten up all the related owners before coming out.

“…”

“…”

“…”

The three silently looked down at the ground.

Finally, unable to bear it, Arien cleared his throat and spoke.

“What’s done is done. Still, you gathered everything so quickly, it’s amazing!”

“…I don’t think I was capable of handling this commission.”

“No. Why do you say such things? This much is sufficient.”

“I should have handled it quietly…”

“Haha. No. What’s so wrong with beating up guys who needed to be hit to come to their senses?”

Amur seemed rather excited at this point.

When they first talked about it, the world of mages felt incomprehensible and difficult to understand, but seeing it in action, it seemed simpler than expected.

Wasn’t it just finding bad guys, punching them in the face, then retrieving evil items!

Seeing it this way, Einroguard mages felt a bit more relatable.

“And don’t worry. The guys who got beaten are too embarrassed to tell anyone.”

-Did you hear? Some mages are going around Grandhen City? They’re attacking guys with evil artifacts and hanging them upside down. That Uap guy got brutally beaten.

-Ah. I heard too. After tormenting people like that, he got what he deserved. From what I heard, they stuck him upside down in the canal?

-From what I heard, they branded his face with the mark of a villain…

“…”

“…”

“…”

Lee Han hung his head even lower.

* * *

“That son of a bitch!”

The hamster beastman, Sevius, let out an angry roar.

The guinea pig beastman next to him, who was Sevius’s external accomplice and a guild member of the thieves’ guild, asked in confusion.

“What’s wrong?”

“Verdus, that son of a bitch! He gave me sloppy information again because he was annoyed!”

While preparing to solve the commission, Sevius obtained shocking information.

Uap, who stole the 【Asen’s Polarizing Mirror】 that Professor Verdus had purchased, had additionally bought 【Asen’s Soul Scream】 to protect the artifact.

If such evil defensive magic was prepared in the workshop, the story would be different.

‘I thought it was relatively easy so I gave it to a junior!’

“Who’s Verdus?”

“A professor!”

“…Isn’t he crazy? He’s a professor but he can give information to students so carelessly?”

The guinea pig beastman was bewildered.

Wasn’t it a professor’s job to teach and support Einroguard students?

But giving information carelessly because he was annoyed.

It was so different from the master the guinea pig beastman knew.

“That’s why he’s a son of a bitch. I need to find my junior. Follow me.”

“That crazy bastard will just slow down our progress. Give him this poison to drink later. One dose of this poison and he’ll be bedridden for a week.”

“…”

Sevius pondered briefly in his mind, then shook his head.

“That mage is more cautious than expected, so poison won’t work.”

“Good grief. These mages. Einroguard is the Empire’s best magic school, so why do they keep such a crazy bastard as a professor?”

Sevius didn’t explain Einroguard’s detailed situation.

He couldn’t say most of it anyway due to the prohibition.

-Someone hung Uap upside down!

-What?! Really?

“…Wait.”

Sevius, who had been running, hesitated when he heard what passersby were saying.

“Didn’t they just say Uap?”

“I didn’t hear. What did they say?”

“They said someone hung Uap upside down…”

“What nonsense. Didn’t he buy additional defensive magic? Who would hang such a guy upside down?”

“That’s… true. It’s not like it was the Principal…”

“Why are you bringing up the Principal?”

“…It’s nothing.”

Sevius shook his head.

He must have been hearing things due to his anxious and urgent state of mind.

“Let’s go back…”

-Hey! Someone shoved Uap into the canal?!

-Why are you telling us this now?! Let’s hurry and go see!

“!!!”

This wasn’t something he had misheard.

Sevius followed the people in shock. Already, people had gathered in front of the canal.

“There’s Uap!”

“That crazy dwarf bastard tormented the workers so much, now he’s getting divine punishment!”

-Get lost!

“Uap, you bastard! If you keep acting like that, divine punishment will come for you again!”

-…Hiiek!

He had heard that the other person was a greedy and evil dwarf, but seeing his current state, he couldn’t imagine it at all.

The way he got terrified whenever anyone said anything showed he had been properly shocked.

“By any chance, Sevius. Isn’t this your junior’s doing?”

The Guinea Pig Beastman made a logical deduction.

Einroguard mages are strong.

Uap touched an Einroguard mage’s belongings.

And Uap is very frightened.

“…No. My junior has a cautious and careful personality. Showing off and intimidating like that is something only the Principal would do.”

“True. You said he bought additional magic too. Maybe that Professor Verdus came out to help his disciple?”

“Absolutely not.”

“…I, I see.”

“Let’s move. First, I need to check Uap’s workshop and look for my junior.”

-Everyone! Everyone! The Bardan manor has been robbed!

-What?! The Bardan manor?!

-What on earth is happening today?

The news that the manor of Bardan, a branch noble connected to the Greenbell family, had been robbed shocked the people of Granden City gathered in front of the canal.

No matter how greedily Bardan exploited various people and extorted treasures through threats, who would have thought he’d be attacked?

-There’s a rampaging spirit destroying the manor!

-…Everyone, now’s our chance! Let’s settle our grudges against Bardan!

“…”

Sevius, who had followed to the manor before even checking the workshop, gaped at the sight of the half-destroyed manor.

A rampaging water spirit summoned by someone was destroying the manor, and angry people were taking advantage of the chaos to steal the treasures inside.

“This isn’t your junior’s doing either, is it?”

The Guinea Pig Beastman asked cautiously.

“N… No, it shouldn’t be. Probably… No matter how angry my junior was, he wouldn’t summon a spirit and make it rampage…”

‘I don’t think he said earlier.’

The Guinea Pig Beastman thought to himself.

After that, rumors quickly spread that villains throughout Granden City were being attacked.

Sevius eventually assembled the club members.

“Is there anyone among you who participated in what’s happening now?”

“Huh, wasn’t your junior doing it? I was admiring it.”

“I thought you ordered it too, Sevius.”

“What nonsense!”

Sevius exploded in anger.

Who would recommend such a dangerous method to a mere second-year student?

The reason relocation had to be done quietly and secretly was because that was the safest way. If you could beat up and rob your opponent in the first place, there would be no need to steal.

“I thought you were intimidating them so it would be harder to steal from them in the future…”

“I thought so too. I figured since a capable junior joined, you were putting him to use.”

“…No!”

Professor Garcia, who had come down from the upper floor of the inn where she was reading 【Monthly Magic Education】, quietly sighed.

‘This is the Principal’s fault.’

Whatever else, shoving someone into a canal and destroying a manor was definitely something learned from the Skeleton Principal.

Where else would such a kind student like Lee Han have learned that?

* * *

“…What’s done is done.”

“You’ve made a wise decision!”

When Lee Han gave up and resigned himself, the two wicked outsiders applauded, saying he had made a good decision.

What could he do about what had already happened?

“Young master. If you think positively, you finished the job quickly. It’s a great achievement.”

“There are rumors going around that you shoved an innocent citizen into the canal…”

“He’s not innocent. Now then, you said you want to participate in theater viewing?”

“Yes.”

“The one that Einroguard students are attending?”

“That’s right.”

Lee Han, half-resigned, decided to be satisfied that his name and identity hadn’t been revealed.

Then it was time to think about the next task: escaping from the theater club.

Since he had finished all the other robbery-theft-relocation requests…

“It’s not difficult. You can go with a few people I’m acquainted with. Ah. There’s one problem… No, thinking about it, this should be fine too.”

“What is it?”

“It’s really nothing much. Since this kind of theater viewing is also a social gathering, there’s bound to be a lot of conversation, and if you don’t know much about the Empire’s theater, it might seem strange, right? But since you’re from the Wardanaz family, it should be fine…”

“…”

Lee Han’s face turned pale as knowledge he firmly believed he would never have use for in his life came back to bite him.
