Episode 658
“I heard that students from Baldrogard came?”
Just then, Alcicle came into the parlor building, mumbling a sardine.
“Went.”
“already?”
Alcicle was puzzled.
It was quite strange to just go back without meeting him even though he knew that the Pengelin family’s Alcicle was there.
“That’s right. “I also left the reagent bag behind.”
“I guess I should get it for you.”
Without realizing it, Alcicle saved the lives of two Baldrogard students.
It was such a good deed that two anonymous families later provided Alcicle with enormous research support.
“Maybe you guys didn’t bully me?”
“They said they would show us some magic, so we saw some magic, and we showed them some magic in return.”
“Oops…”
Alcicle realized his mistake after hearing the words of the Einrogard students.
“Then of course you will be shocked.”
“yes? “Are you shocked that I showed you some kind of magic?”
Lee Han was dumbfounded, but his friends sympathized slightly.
Among the freshmen last year, isn’t there a friend from the Wardanaz family who has been shattering the self-esteem of students who wonder, ‘Maybe I’m talented enough?’ from the beginning of the semester.
“The kids from Baldrogard aren’t very good at magic. “I guess there are a lot of people who do it as a hobby.”
“Isn’t Baldrogard a two-headed carriage, like Einrogard, among the magic schools of the Empire?”
Sianna tilted her head.
I guess I didn’t understand Alcicle’s words.
The guys who came earlier were like that, and among the rumors I occasionally hear, I’ve heard things like, ‘Baldrogard is one of the best chariots of the Imperial Magic School, along with Einrogard!’
“Is that a rumor spread by Baldrogard students?”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han and his friends were shocked.
The rumors of the empire were truly unreliable.
“To begin with, all other magic schools say they are one of the best two-horse carriages like Einroguard. “There are many high-ranking students among Baldrogard students, so it is spreading particularly well.”
“No, these despicable bastards!”
Gainando jumped up and down.
You don’t do magic, but you spread fame through such dirty tricks!
“Can I do that?”
“It’s not possible. It’s insulting to you guys. Gonadaltes also really hates it.”
“I’m sure the principal won’t like it.”
“huh. Last time, a Calarogad graduate got drunk in front of Gonadaltes and talked about two-headed carriages, and was buried alive in the tomb. “You, too, be careful what you say in front of Gonadaltes.”
“……”
The students pretended not to hear the story, which was much more extreme than expected.
Lee Han became curious about Baldrogard and asked.
“By the way, Mr. Alcicle. Anyway, it’s a magic school. Can I pass the exam by doing it as a hobby?”
“test?”
Alcicle flapped his wings and looked puzzled.
I didn’t understand what Lee Han was talking about.
“What test?”
“A test inside Baldrogard.”
“ah. Baldrogard doesn’t take the test.”
The shocking words made the surroundings quiet and the air became cold.
Alcicle didn’t know, but all the students were wide-eyed in shock.
“Because the school’s internal rule is that it is not right to arbitrarily evaluate noble nobles.”
“Mi… you crazy bastards!”
“Siana…”
“S-sorry.”
“How can you do that? how?”
“Send a letter to His Majesty the Emperor! “You bastards!”
“Let’s just go ahead and start a fire!”
“…Is that something to be so angry about?”
Alcicle was taken aback by the reaction, which was more violent than expected.
What does Baldrogard not taking the test have to do with Einrogard?
But the students’ anger did not subside. Guy Nando stomped his foot and threw the magic book upward, only to be hit by Lee Han.
Lee Han stopped his friends and asked again.
“But there is a student there who says that his skills are outstanding. If there is no test, are they just judging among themselves?”
“Uh… Professors at Baldrogard will tell you that when students ask them about their skills, they are all good.”
“……”
“Val, did you think you were going to Baldrogard?”
Gainando muttered without realizing it.
Friends who discovered the traitor criticized him with angry voices.
“Lee Han! “Gainando wants to go to Baldrogaard!”

“You traitor! “For some reason, I felt suspicious from the moment I invited him!”
“Oh, no! I’m kidding! joke!”
Alsicle cleared his throat because he felt like he was swearing at Baldrogard too much.
“I won’t deny that Baldrogard’s teachings are a bit… lax.”
“A little?”
“Perhaps you don’t understand the meaning…?”
In response to the students’ angry reactions, Alcicle closed his ears and pretended not to hear.
“But even in Baldrogard, there are excellent wizards. “Students in lower grades don’t know what they are lacking, but as time goes by, some students start to notice that they are lacking.”
As the grades went up and they realized that their magic skills were not that great, the Baldrogard students split into two groups.
One is the type that goes out to enjoy social activities while believing that ‘what is important is not magic, but noble lineage.’
The other type is those who devote themselves to the study of magic, even if it is belated.
And there was usually much less of the latter.
‘I shouldn’t tell you this.’
Alcicle conscientiously tried to hide the fact that the latter was much smaller.
It seemed like they only said bad things about Baldrogard.
“Is it coming out?”
“Isn’t there about one student per grade?”
“……”
Alcicle changed the topic after seeing the quick-witted Einroguard students.
“What magic did you show me? “Wardanaz, you didn’t show me any magic, did you?”
“I didn’t show it. “Other friends showed me.”
“phew. thank god.”
Alcicle breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lee Han had personally prepared and demonstrated magic, the shock of Baldrogard students would have been beyond imagination.
“Then they’ll be fine too.”
“I guess so. “We talked about magic quite a bit, so I hope you’ll take an interest in magic when you go back.”
The friends exchanged glances with complicated faces.
I think it would have been better for Lee Han to show it himself…
* * *
A few days after the Baldrogard students’ visit (strangely enough, the Baldrogard students did not visit again after that), Ihan received a call from Madame Kraha.
“I called you this because I was wondering how you were doing.”
“Thanks to your consideration, I am doing well. Mr. Kraha.”
Mrs. Kraha thought for a moment, folded her fan, and asked carefully.
“But are all the students who visited the mansion really Gainando’s friends?”
“…yes.”
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed. The other person must have felt that too and cleared his throat.
“I was just a little curious.”
“Well, I see.”
“I wonder what you plan to do today. If you haven’t decided on a place to go out, I’d like to recommend it.”
“ah. I have a place to go today. “I’m going to run a shopping mall with my junior.”
Lee Han was planning to take Eandurde around the shopping district with his friends.
Eandurde had very little luggage, so I wanted to take care of everything he needed.
As it is a very busy commercial city, you will be able to buy many things that cannot be purchased anywhere else.
“Junior? As far as I know, you won’t be able to meet Einrogard’s junior right now…”
Mrs. Kraha said, casting an incomprehensible look through the veil.
Lee Han briefly explained what happened this winter vacation.
“…So I was taking care of him briefly before he went in.”
“!!!”
Mrs. Kraha looked at Lee Han with startled eyes.
How could a boy from the Wardanaz family take such good care of others?
No matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t believe it.
“Do you happen to have a hobby of taking care of people who look sad?!”
“yes? “It’s not like that.”
“Gainando too…”
“……”
Lee Han was dumbfounded by the other person’s words and was speechless.
“That junior probably doesn’t have any assets, so how do you plan on paying for the items?”
“I plan to pay for now.”
The rich people of the empire would laugh at him, but by Lee Han’s standards, Lee Han himself had amassed quite a fortune.
It was thanks to my hard work over the past year. He could not have amassed more than a hundred imperial gold coins.
That’s why I was able to write this much to my junior.
and…
“It’s not possible.”
“yes?”
“The Kraha family will pay. “There’s no way I can’t do something like this to a guest at my mansion.”
“Oh, it’s really okay. “I was planning to file a claim with the principal when I go back to school.”
“……”
Mrs. Kraha was startled once again.
A boy who will soon be in second grade is going to present the bill to the skeleton principal.
It was gutsy, but it was impossible without friendship.
“…I guess you don’t have a hobby of taking care of people who look really sad, right?”
“No, why on earth do you have such a misunderstanding?”
“No… Then let’s do it like this. I will gift a gold coin to Wardanaz. Wardanaz-kun, please use it for your juniors. “I used my own money, so I can submit a claim to the principal.”
“oh my god! Such a great method! “I will!”
“……”
Mrs. Kraha, who had planned to force the other person to refuse out of politeness, was a little taken aback by Lee Han’s immediate acceptance.
…Do you have a bad relationship with the principal?
“But are you sure you can do that? “I’m worried that you might be wasting too much gold…”
“it’s okay. “There is something to save.”
* * *
“My mother stopped giving me pocket money!”
Guyando was in tears and walked between his friends.
“What kind of accident did you get into?”
“So you should have slept in a little later.”
“Gainando. “You may not come from a family of knights, but waking up early…”
“Oh, it’s not like that! “It’s all because of you!”
“???”
My friends were puzzled by the sudden false accusation.
What did we do??
Nilia said hesitantly.
“I heard you got angry because you ate too many cookies?”
“Most of you don’t get pocket money even during vacation and earn by working on your own, so they tell you to follow your friends and learn!”
“……”
Lee Han quietly put the bag he had received from Mrs. Kraha into his bosom.
Gai Nando might have figured out the truth by looking at the family emblem engraved on the pocket.
“Gainando. “I’ll buy you cotton candy over there, so you can lighten your mood.”
“I… Ihan…!”
Gainando was moved by Lee Han’s words, but then stopped.
“If you eat that, won’t you have to study as much?”
“no. “I’m just buying it for you.”
“Lee Han…!”
Gainando let go of his tears.
Still, I had one real friend.
“What does Eandurde need?”
“Shall we buy some more clothes first? “The clothes I received from the mansion are all formal clothes that are too difficult to move around in… I think I need some comfortable clothes.”
When the topic of clothes came up, Eandurde struggled, saying she didn’t like the dress. Lee Han said, soothing her junior.
“no. no. I’m not going to buy clothes. “I’m going to buy weapons.”
“…the weapon is good…”
Lee Han winked. Before my junior realized it, it was a signal to drag him to the clothing store.
“I think I’ll also need a small cauldron or mortar for alchemy.”
“Why is that?”
“You can come out during vacation and make money through alchemy.”
‘Isn’t it possible to not learn alchemy…?’
Yoner thought so to himself, but nodded.
In fact, Yoner had a lot of fun picking out alchemy tools for his juniors.
“I also have something to recommend. Tool for unlocking…”
“hmm. “Then I’d like to recommend some useful armor.”
“Wizard card! “I need a wizard card too!”
Except for Eandurde, everyone had fun shopping. Lee Han nodded with a happy expression.
“Take it one by one…”
At the end of the path in front of Lee Han, who was about to walk, he saw a familiar wizard.
It was Professor Boladi.
“…Shall we go back to the mansion today and go back tomorrow?”
“???”
