Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Episode 697

After hearing something so absurd, Lee Han was momentarily slow to react.

“No, you’re saying that right now…?!”

Without the headmaster’s magic, it was not easy to avoid contact with a first-year student.

Not only would I have to detect and avoid first-year students in the crowded Einroguard, but I might also have to be invisible at all times if there were a lot of first-year students.

It was such a difficult problem that even Lee Han, who conforms to reality by saying, ‘Damn it, professor, you’re doing too much, I’ll try anyway, you’re a professor and I’m just a student, so I respect your authority,’ felt at a loss.

pop!

However, just as he was about to protest against the unreasonable level of difficulty, the skeleton principal disappeared after completing the spell.

-Your speech has become shorter compared to last year.

-What did you hear, senior?

-They say that losers who can’t graduate are locked up in the punishment room forever.

-…This must be a joke, right?

Students from other grades also appeared at the same time in the space where the second grade students were.

In order to lecture students in each grade at the same time, the skeleton principal divided several spaces into overlapping spaces in the same location like a kaleidoscope.

Afterwards, they created their own alter egos and told stories tailored to their respective grades.

‘You’re really using magic for useless things!’

Lee Han was taken aback and forgot how angry he was at the ridiculous waste of magic.

“Lee Han. “Seniors!”

“Look at those eyes. “They’re trying to fool us!”

“Gainando. “It’s not too harsh…”

“You didn’t know because you came late during winter vacation! “All my seniors are thieves!”

The 2nd grade students, who were suddenly faced with 3rd and 4th grade students, were buzzing.

Lee Han and his friends, who sensed the evil nature of their seniors during smuggling, looked wary, but the rest of the second-year students showed a friendly attitude, like a baby bird meeting its mother bird.

“Seniors. Please take care of me.”

“haha. okay. “Do you know anything about smuggling?”

“yes? what is that?”

“You can do it now! Now…”

“…”

Even after entering Einro Guard, Lee Han shook his head at his persistence in trying to get bait right away.

“The Blue Dragon Tower is this way!”

“The White Tiger Tower is this way. There is no need to talk to other top seniors. Gather here!”

“Even if you are a senior in the same tower, don’t be tempted by the offer! Don’t make any deals today. Warning! “Don’t make any deals today!”

Still, there were some meaningful people among the seniors.

The seniors, who knew well how the 3rd and 4th graders were taking advantage of the 2nd graders, went around and divided the 2nd graders into their own towers and gave them a strong warning.

Angago asked Lee Han.

“Wardanaz. “What does that warning mean now?”

“Ango. That warning…”

“Okay. “Those seniors were handed over to the principal.”

“……”

Lee Han looked at Anrago with eyes that looked at Gainando or lower.

But surprisingly, he wasn’t the only one who thought like Ango.

“hey. “They say smuggling is possible?”

“what? “I brought some food with me. Can I bring it in?”

“This quill control artifact looks like it could be useful…!”

The story that smuggling was possible quickly spread among second graders.

Human greed cannot always be easily prevented.

Lee Han went around each tower with his friends, trying to persuade the students somehow.

“Friends. listen to me “Those seniors are trying to take advantage of you.”

“everyone. Don’t fall for that! “You can’t trust your seniors!”

“Everyone listen to me! Seniors…!”

However, the response was not as great as expected. If half of the people believed what Lee Han said, about half did not believe it.

That is how strong the power of desire was.

“Isn’t Wardanaz cheating?”

“Wardanaz is the principal’s best disciple. They might be taking orders from the principal and spreading rumors to prevent us from smuggling…” “

…Hey. What kind of guy are you? “Jump forward.”

This guy has things to say and things he won’t say!

When an enraged Lee Han called out, the White Tiger Top student quickly lowered his posture.

-Everyone be quiet! Each grade goes to its own location!

-Quiet! Those who make noise will be attacked!

“hey. “Are you interested in smuggling?” Even though

the Death Knights appeared, a senior who was trying to whisper as he approached the second-year area flew backwards.

More than ten arrows filled with condensed black energy were stuck in his body.

“Oops!”

The Death Knight, who fired a dark elemental arrow, shouted fiercely.

-Do not make noise or move until the inspection!

“Tsk tsk. “He seems like such a stupid guy.”

“You should have been careful. “With all your wits.”

“……”

While the atmosphere was getting colder, the Death Knights formed a siege against the students gathered in front of the main gate.

This was to prepare for possible attacks, riots, rebellions, surprise attacks, etc.

-There may be students who don’t know much, so I’ll explain. Einrogard is a sacred magic school protected by strict rules handed down from ancient times! Therefore, school rules must be observed more strictly than any other sacred law!

“You’re really fucking up.”

“Did that undead bastard turn around?”

Bloody curses flowed from the 3rd and 4th graders.

Is the rule to take away sugar butter if you bring it in a strict rule from ancient times?

-Therefore, external items cannot be brought in without separate permission. Please keep in mind that if your items are discovered, they may be confiscated and then taken to a punishment cell!

“Now that you know, let’s get started quickly!”

“Is it good to become a knight and steal the wealth of young students? “Is that what you wrote about?”

“Did the knight’s oath include theft of wealth?!”

-quiet! Don’t make a fuss!

-Do not approach students arbitrarily! If you come any closer, I’ll assume you’re trying to attack!

“Tch. “It’s a shame.”

“……”

Lee Han realized that the students gathered here were different than he thought.

There were students who tried to pass the inspection by deceiving the Death Knights, but there were also a few who tried to break through the siege itself and just run away.

Just now, there were students provoking the Death Knights and sneakily approaching them…

Perhaps because they were all Einroguard students, their abilities were not normal.

Even if you only completed your first year at Einroguard, you were treated as a wizard who only did one thing outside, so the seniors who spent more time than that were wizards that even Death Knights could not help but be nervous about.

‘indeed. With this structure, is rebellion a worthy option?’

If all the students here start a riot, it will definitely be difficult to stop them all.

It was an option worth considering, except for the drawback that it would be difficult to deal with it later.

-The interrogation will begin. 6th grade students 5th grade students, please come to the front!

Lee Han watched several seniors, some he had seen before and some he had never seen, come forward.

Perhaps because it was after the 4th grade, the number was overwhelmingly small compared to other grades.

-Is this all you have?

“yes.”

-Please pass.

The Death Knights also did not search or search 5th or 6th grade students.

The warehouse manager didn’t come forward and just pretended to conduct a search and let them through.

A third-year student who saw this shouted out to provoke the Death Knights.

“You discriminate against students! Investigate properly!”

-Shut up! Don’t students have a human heart? Do you not feel sorry for the senior who entered the 5th grade?

“What you just said was harsh. “No matter what, you’re telling me to conduct a stricter search on a senior who has entered the 5th year!”

“Boo! “What a piece of trash!”

But surprisingly, this provocation backfired.

The other students, including Death Knight, all started criticizing the person who had just spoken.

Anyway, you’re trying to bully someone who just went up to the 5th grade!

“……”

“……”

Of course, such consideration had little effect on the 5th and 6th graders.

Lee Han realized that Delet, who had passed the inspection, had a confused expression on his face. Not only Delet but other 5th graders were almost the same.

-It’s done.

-Okay. Don’t let your guard down. From now on, we will start inspecting 2nd through 4th graders! Students who pass the inspection can go to their respective towers!

‘Now this is the real beginning.’

With the 5th and 6th graders eliminated, there are now only grades left to target the proper smuggling.

They cleverly sent messages to second-year juniors even under the watchful eye of Death Knights and other decent seniors.

Are you interested in smuggling? If you want to move something, join now!

Paper birds are often used as message carriers, as well as telepathic magic. Some students even floated letters in the sky or on the floor.

Anyone who wants to protect their rightful property should go to the northeast!

Lee Han exchanged glances with his friends.

“Are you ready?”

“huh.”

The most important smuggling had already been accomplished underground, but the most important part of Einrogard’s work was the cleanup.

The goal is to confuse the opponent as much as possible and make it impossible for them to guess.

For that purpose, Lee Han and his friends had prepared simple backpacks.

A few magic books that wouldn’t cause much damage even if confiscated, and snacks like coffee powder, tea leaves, sugar, and chocolate.

Even if these things were confiscated, the skeleton principal’s suspicions would be lessened.

“Everyone, do your best. “I’m going to meet some seniors.”

Lee Han packed his backpack and started contacting the seniors he had agreed to meet.

“…All right. So, this box…”

“… That’s right… if you put the box in your luggage and carry it with you… I won’t have to search through all those boxes, so at least one of them will succeed…” The conversation ended in a whisper

. Dehumcha looked at Lee Han’s back with a proud expression.

Other unprepared students tried to find second-year bait, but it was not easy in the current situation.

In a situation where saboteurs and death knights are watching, it is surprisingly difficult to persuade juniors and make them do what is necessary.

As expected, the city should have prepared this in advance.

‘The wizard who wakes up early steals a lot from the headmaster’s warehouse.’

“Then I will go.”

“okay. okay.”

Dhumcha’s plan was simple.

If a disturbance occurs in one of several lines of checkpoints, it becomes relatively easy to pass through other lines of checkpoints.

Of course, the one who will be in charge of one line is the junior!

-Please come.

“yes. yes.”

Dhumcha crumpled a few boxes into a bag with magic and walked away.

In front, one of the seniors had already been caught and was complaining.

“Why can’t I bring my gold coins? I need it! Just take a look! “I need a ton of gold to make sure the plague I created completely turns it into lead!”

-You can get the gold coins yourself. Gold coins brought from the family are prohibited.

“Why is it banned? “Tell the principal to come out!”

-These gold coins will be confiscated and used to fund research for the entire school year.

“You thieves! “They’re like evil undead!”

‘Tsk tsk.’

Dheumcha clicked his tongue inwardly.

I’ve heard that seniors often do crazy things in their senior year because of the pressure to graduate, but I can’t believe they make such mistakes so openly.

Sneaking in the family’s gold coins only made the Skeleton Headmaster happy.

Dhumcha said that one of his seniors, who was caught bringing gold coins last year, said every time he met the skeleton principal, “Are you here to donate Einrogard?” I have clearly seen people being ridiculed by saying, ‘When are you going to make your next donation?’

-Skull principal nerd! Skull principal idiot!

‘It’s the beginning!’

Dhumcha cleared his throat when he heard the sound of a bone-eating parrot chirping. And then he performed a desperate performance.

“no! “What is going on?!”

Dhumcha pushed his backpack forward and tried to enter.

However, an unexpected cry came out of Dhumcha’s backpack.

-Skeleton principal idiot!Skeleton principal idiot!

“……”

-What are you doing now?
