Surviving As A Mage In A Magic Academy [EN]: Chapter 924

Lee Han wondered, “Is the Location Transfer Club not as secret as I thought?”

Even among unofficial clubs, some were so secret that their existence was hidden from everyone.

Clubs like the Professor Assassination Club (Lee Han was sure he would be in it) or the Einroguard Reality Exposure Club (a club trying to show the real world outside of school) couldn’t operate in the open.

Lee Han thought the Location Transfer Club was one of those secret societies.

They’d chosen a different name on purpose, and the club’s location was a secret.

“Are the professors allowed to know about the Location Transfer Club?”

“Well, they probably guessed,” Sevius said, not worried at all. Lee Han was even more confused.

“Is that alright?”

“If they don’t find our base, it’s okay,” Sevius said. “If they don’t catch us doing anything, they have no proof. The school rules don’t punish you just for creating a Location Transfer Club.”

Lee Han thought, ‘Sometimes my seniors are crazy.’

Being in Einroguard meant everyone was a little unusual, but his seniors were more extreme.

“Could I come with you?”

“Hmm.”

Sevius frowned at his junior’s question.

“If it’s against club rules…”

“No. The others wanted to bring you along.”

Lee Han was more popular with the Location Transfer Club seniors than he thought.

It made sense. In the Location Transfer Club, skill was everything.

It didn’t matter if the junior was a second-year or from the Blue Dragon Tower. What mattered was where the junior had stolen from.

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

“I’m prepared,” Lee Han said confidently.

He used to ask, ‘How dangerous could it be?’ but Einroguard had changed him.

Now, he thought, ‘Even if it’s dangerous, it probably won’t be that dangerous.’

‘It’s a chance to go outside. I can’t miss it.’

“I know you’re skilled, but think about it. If you’re caught outside…”

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

“No. The Headmaster lets you out. Then you end up in the punishment room for being caught outside.”

It was stranger than he thought. Lee Han shook his head.

“Anyway, I want to go.”

“Alright. I’ll write your name down then.”

Sevius was about to write down his junior’s name when he wondered, ‘This guy’s joined a lot of clubs, hasn’t he? Can he handle it all?’

“Junior, if you can’t be in the Quidditch match because of another club, I’ll hurt all those other club members.”

“…”

“I’m joking, of course.”

‘Doesn’t sound like a joke.’

The Dark Elf senior’s eyes were full of conviction.

She looked like she would burn Einroguard for a Quidditch match.

“Um, Hormalshi-sunbaenim.”

“Yeah, junior.”

“His Highness Jaurin has returned to the capital, right?”

“I heard.”

Karnella sighed, looking disappointed, regretful, bitter, and sad.

Then she said, “Of course, suggesting we ride His Highness Jaurin into the match was a joke.”

“…”

Lee Han thought he should never trust the jokes of this third-year from the White Tiger Tower.

“But you have a griffin, a unicorn, a basilisk, a giant, and a very strong sheep, right?”

“That sounds like a lot of strange things mixed together.”

-I, I’m with that group!

The baby basilisk cried out, terrified.

It wasn’t ready to carry Lee Han and fight against large monsters.

“Strange things? Well, the unicorn’s injury might not be healed yet…”

“…I’ll ride the griffin.”

“Are you deciding too fast? Changing your animal depending on what the other team uses is important,”

“I’ll just ride the griffin.”

Karnella was disappointed by her junior’s stubbornness.

Why was he acting like this when he could be an excellent Quidditch player?

“I understand. I ride our dog the most.”

-Is that person riding a dog???

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

-……

Lee Han calmed the baby basilisk and asked, “Who are we fighting, and where will the match be held?”

“The location is Granden City.”

It was the closest big city to Einroguard and a familiar place to Lee Han.

“The opponent is the Valdrogard Quidditch team – our biggest rivals from the other magic school.”

“…What?! Are you alright?!” Lee Han was surprised.

Karnella didn’t understand.

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t Einroguard students attack Valdrogard students on sight?”

“Well… it’s not that extreme.”

Karnella was surprised by those words.

There was some competition between students from the Empire’s magic schools, but was it really that bad?

“Won’t it turn into a fight instead of a Quidditch match?”

“Hold on, junior. What do you think Quidditch players are? We have honor!” Karnella told her junior, scolding him for making fun of Quidditch players.

Of course, it didn’t work on Lee Han.

From the moment she tried to use a giant or Jaurin, all sense of honor was gone.

“And the Valdrogard Quidditch team is skilled. You must be careful.”

‘Really?’

Lee Han was surprised again at his senior’s serious words.

Valdrogard had something that was high-level?

But it was true.

“Those guys don’t have to study magic, do homework, or take exams, so they can do what they want. Valdrogard students are very rich, so they can use rare creatures. …Damn it. I lost the Hydra (a monster with many heads) to those guys last time…” Karnella remembered past grudges and muttered angrily.

Valdrogard students having so much money always made Einroguard students angry.

‘I hope the Hydra doesn’t show up.’

His senior’s grudges didn’t matter to Lee Han; what mattered was what the opponent would bring.

Hearing that the Valdrogard Quidditch team had bought a Hydra, Lee Han wished he had been nicer.

If he had known they had a Hydra, he would have been kinder!

“But don’t worry, junior. I will smash the opponent’s skulls.”

“You meant scoring goals, right?”

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: >Urgent> Looking for information on unofficial clubs that allow outings.

Iactus: Magician Card Club.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: >Urgent> Looking for information on unofficial clubs that allow outings (not the Magician Card Club).

Iactus: ……

“!”

Lee Han took out his magical artifact, like a special communication device, as the Watchers Club members started talking again.

Since there were many things to prepare for the club’s activities, information was needed.

Gonadaltes: Why are you asking about unofficial clubs that allow outings?

Iactus: Probably wants someone to bring something from outside. The official clubs don’t work.

Official clubs made outings easier, but there weren’t many, and their locations and purposes were fixed, so it was hard to ask for something if the conditions weren’t right.

Gonadaltes: Why not the Magician Card Club?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Those idiots only go to the magician card shop and stay there all day. You can’t trust them with anything.

“……”

Lee Han sighed.

It wasn’t because the Magician Card Club members were single-minded, but because Gainando hadn’t gotten in.

‘What a pity.’

Gonadaltes: Can I ask what you need?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Ah. Are you interested? Be careful, Iactus thinks it’s dangerous.

Iactus: Don’t be fooled. Who knows what they’ll ask for.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Shut up. Everyone knows how to decide for themselves.

BeaverPenguinFox told them what he needed. Two bundles of purple roundwood, a swansong in a sealed crystal, and three bottles of fairy honey wine. They could all be bought with money.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Don’t worry, I’m not using it for anything bad.

‘Saying it like that makes it sound worse.’

Lee Han knew that BeaverPenguinFox was Ilendil-sunbae, who was part dryad – a creature connected to trees and forests.

That senior loved the forest more than anyone else in Einroguard, so the request was probably to help the forest.

Needing wood and not being too suspicious…

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

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

Gonadaltes: Alright. Don’t get your hopes up.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Great! I thought you were crazy when you joined the club!

Iactus: I know why. Look at the name. By the way, Gonadaltes, which club are you in that got you an outing?

Gonadaltes: A club you don’t know.

Iactus: Is it the Professor Assault Club?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: There’s a club like that?

Iactus: I don’t know. I just said it.

Hello.

“?”

Iactus:?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:??

Iactus: …What?

Hello. Um, can you not see my words?

The Watchers Club was silent.

Lee Han’s eyes widened.

‘New member!!’

New members joined the Watchers Club in two ways.

Bakwantallana managed the club, manipulated the communication artifact, and connected them to the meeting.

Lee Han had been invited this way.

The other way was to get an artifact already connected to the Watchers Club meeting.

The stranger was the latter. The Einroguard students were nervous.

If the other party was a professor or a minion of the Skull Headmaster…

Hello. Hello. Hello?

Gonadaltes: Whoever you are, tell us. Who are you?

Lee Han moved his quill.

He stepped forward because it didn’t seem like the other party was the Skull Headmaster or his minion.

‘Could it be a freshman?’

If a freshman was wandering around Einroguard and picked up the artifact, a slow response would make sense.

If it was an upperclassman from Einroguard, they would have known what the silence meant.

Ah. Sorry. I’m a third-year from Valdrogard… Wait, how do I know you guys aren’t trying to trick me?

Iactus: ……

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: ……

Iactus: Bakwantallana!!! Bakwantallana!!!

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Where’s Bakwantallana! Come quickly!

Iactus: This isn’t the time to be doing other things!!! A crazy person has entered the club!!!

The Watchers Club members were in chaos and called for Bakwantallana.

How did a Valdrogard guy get into this Watchers Club???
