Surviving As A Mage In A Magic Academy [EN]: Chapter 1092

Lee Han felt a wave of disappointment wash over him. He hadn’t expected a trick like this at the very end of their encounter.

Clothes visible only to good people? He’d never imagined such a thing existed, let alone that it would be the final test. The young prince, so earnest and with such unwavering faith in Lee Han’s supposed goodness, had presented the garment with such confidence.

“Master, is something wrong?” Krooh asked, tilting his head.

Lee Han sighed. “Krooh… I fear I’m not a good person. I can’t see the clothes.”

“A good person?” Krooh frowned, confused. “I’m not sure what you mean by that, Master. What you can’t see right now is because the clothes… they exist in parallel dimensions.”

“Ah!” Lee Han exclaimed, relief flooding him. He straightened his posture, feeling a little foolish. Parallel dimensions! Of course! That made much more sense.

That explains it!

And if it’s clothes visible to good people, then Master should be able to see them too.

“I wonder about that…”

Ignoring his muttering disciple, the prince began his explanation.

In fact, Lee Han had once obtained a relic similar to this outer garment.

A crown of thorns made by weaving together bronze, copper, and branches: the Small World, Basileios.

This Basileios was a very peculiar form of Small World magic. It was a form of inherited magic.

Most Small World magics could be taught and learned, and then used separately, but Basileios, existing as only one, was quite unique.

In fact, its characteristics were so unique that it was almost like a Unique World.

But in return, Basileios was worth it.

Pure power, dividing its essence into numerous parallel dimensions, imprinting it, and then summoning it from all these concepts.

The sum of that power possessed a might that other Small World magics could not match.

‘Since it’s magic using parallel dimensions, attacking this magic directly will be difficult,’ Lee Han thought.

Each time his mastery as a wizard increased, Lee Han felt how magnificent Basileios was.

Suddenly curious, Lee Han asked.

The Avatar of Fame kept getting angry whenever he asked questions, so he couldn’t ask, but the young prince seemed like he might be different.

“But Master, is there a reason why you created the magic like this?”

“Basileios was originally a crown passed down through the royal family. I didn’t want to give it as spoils to greedy people.”

‘Ah,’ Lee Han thought.

Lee Han understood what he meant.

This Small World magic wasn’t created from nothing, but was based on the royal crown that had been passed down in the young prince’s family.

Perhaps the young prince judged that rather than the invaders taking the crown, it would be better to break it into pieces in numerous dimensions so that those with good intentions could summon it in the future.

“No, no. The greedy people I meant? Think closer to home, Disciple. Like my own uncle, for example.” The young prince corrected his disciple’s misunderstanding.

The prince had taken the crown long before the kingdom’s destruction, not after.

He took out the expensive jewels, turned them into money, and distributed them to the poor, and shattered the crown beyond numerous dimensions.

“……”

Lee Han was truly frightened.

To feel this much fear from such a gentle and kind person was truly astonishing.

“The name of this outer garment is Euangelion. Our family used to wear it when there were good things.”

“What kind of good things?”

“Nothing much. Like coronation ceremonies…” The young prince answered as if it was nothing. But Lee Han couldn’t help but be shocked.

Clothes worn during coronation ceremonies were treasures among treasures!

‘And it seems like you stole this too…’

He couldn’t help but suspect that the assassins who were after the prince all over the continent were actually sent by the royal family, not demons.

“This garment will protect you if anything dangerous happens in the future.”

“Thank you.”

“Maybe it will protect you tomorrow?”

“……”

“Just kidding.”

“O-oh, I see.”

The jokes of a great wizard were definitely difficult. Lee Han felt a chill down his spine.

Was it really a joke?

Later, Lee Han checked his messages from the Guardian Club, the prince’s words still echoing in his mind.

Ipeldelem: I’m so grateful! You won’t believe what happened!

Gonadaldes: What happened?

Ipeldelem: I was digging in the basement, and there was a guardian made in ancient times!

Gonadaldes: Did you drink something?

Ipeldelem: ……

Irendi was furious, but didn’t get as angry as before. She was also indebted this time, and… frankly, it sounded a bit ridiculous.

Ipeldelem: You’ll understand if you listen closely! It’s hard to explain everything since we still have a guest…

Bakwantalana: That’s enough.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: It’s solved!

Unkillable Starfish: It wasn’t the real Headmaster, right? It really wasn’t the Headmaster, right??

“!”

The two, who were talking separately, were surprised by the sight of the Guardian Club returning to normal.

‘He solved it right away,’ Lee Han realized what had happened.

Upon obtaining the desired outer garment, the young prince returned the club that he had occupied and returned to the original basement.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Who was the intruder anyway?

Bakwantalana: I missed him. But next time, I will definitely…

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: How are you going to catch him next time when you don’t even know who he is? Shouldn’t we change the manager?

Bakwantalana: …You couldn’t do anything either, but you’re good at talking.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: I wasn’t the manager.

Gonadaldes: Everyone, calm down. Let’s not blame each other. Anyway, it’s a relief that it’s resolved. Thank you for your hard work.

‘???’

Beaver-Penguin-Fox, Ilrendil tilted their heads.

Usually, they would be at the forefront of attacking Bakwantalana, but what was with that attitude?

Did Bakwantalana give a bribe to their junior?

‘What’s wrong…?’

Bakwantalana: Thank you, Gonadaldes.

Unkillable Starfish: Everyone is wonderful. It’s so nice to see you all getting along.

‘This Unkillable Starfish person seems a bit… strange,’ Irendi felt a sense of unease inside.

Unlike the other members, this Unkillable Starfish gave off a strong sense of incongruity whenever they spoke.

More like an older adult than a student…

‘Must be my imagination?’

Ipeldelem: Everyone, I’m glad we can talk again. I was treating an Einrogard guest.

Bakwantalana: ?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: ?

Unkillable Starfish: ?

‘Hmm. It’s Einrogard after all,’ Lee Han nodded as if he understood.

If Lee Han wasn’t involved, he would have written ‘?’ too.

Ipeldelem: Why are you all like that?

Bakwantalana: They’re totally tricking you! Get the guards NOW!

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Pretend you don’t have one. Just pretend you don’t have one!

Unkillable Starfish: They’re here to rip you off! Never open the door!!

“……”

Irendi was flustered.

Huh?

Wasn’t Gonadaldes just trying to be mean?

Ipeldelem: Are you joking right now?

Bakwantalana: If you think this is a joke, you’re not understanding the danger.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: You want to hear a joke? One day, the ghost of the Skull Headmaster appeared to an Einrogard student and said, ‘Throw ten Valdrogard students into the lake and sprinkle chicken blood on the main building.’ Then the student asked, ‘Why do we have to sprinkle chicken blood?’

Unkillable Starfish: The Headmaster’s ghost probably answered, ‘I knew you wouldn’t ask about the first part.’

The Einrogard students all burst out laughing. Only Irendi didn’t understand.

Ipeldelem: What’s so funny about this…?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: …Sorry. I thought it would be funny. Anyway, don’t let the Einrogard student in. I told you.

Ipeldelem: They’ve already come in and I’ve treated them as guests. I even got advice from Gonadaldes.

A moment of silence passed.

And immediately, a one-on-one message flew to Ilrendil.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: You, aren’t you going too far…?

Gonadaldes: I know what you’re thinking, but I didn’t do anything. I just gave pure advice.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Ah, is that so?

Ilrendil was relieved.

They thought their junior was deceiving an innocent Valdrogard student, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: If you’re going to deceive them, deceive them together.

“……”

Lee Han gave a slight look of contempt. Of course, Ilrendil beyond the note didn’t notice.

Unkillable Starfish: Hey, what advice did you get…? It wasn’t advice that asked for money or anything, was it?

Ipeldelem: I told you it wasn’t.

The kind Irendi was slowly getting angry.

Did everyone in this club live only to be deceived, unable to trust people?

They didn’t even know what the upperclassman from the Wodanaz family had done!

Ipeldelem: I’m not going to say anymore.

Unkillable Starfish: W-wait a minute! Just a minute! Just tell me who it is!

But Ipeldelem didn’t answer anymore. Ilrendil was curious and contacted Lee Han separately.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Who is it?

Gonadaldes: I don’t know either.

Lee Han answered shamelessly.

He didn’t want his name to be mentioned here for no reason.

Fortunately, seeing Irendi’s attitude now, it didn’t seem like she was going to tell the other members because she was so angry.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: What kind of advice did you give?

Gonadaldes: I gave general and safe advice.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Is there such advice? Like, don’t show your back to an Einrogard student?

Gonadaldes: Senior, it’s strange, you’re only so cheerful when you talk in the club.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: …You, aren’t you going too far?

It was a casual remark, but it seemed to have quite an impact on Ilrendil. Lee Han apologized.

Gonadaldes: That wasn’t my intention. I’m sorry. Oh, I’ll give you some important information instead.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Well. I don’t know what kind of information it is, but I probably know most of it? Do you know what happened at the recent Imperial Horticultural Club internal auction?

Gonadaldes: Mrs. Azirmo swept everything?

“!!!!!”

Ilrendil fell backward from their seat.

How!?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Who did you hear it from!?

Gonadaldes: That’s not important. Senior. Stop being so distracted.

‘T-this bastard…’ Ilrendil was furious.

There were two ways to make a senior angry, one was to stop talking in the middle of a sentence, and…

Gonadaldes: Two dragons are scheduled to be in Einrogard this semester.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: …Don’t lie.

Gonadaldes: Why would I lie about something like this? It’s true.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: E-even if the Skull Headmaster likes to torment us, he wouldn’t hire dragons to…

Gonadaldes: Ah. It’s not like that. As inspectors.

Lee Han quickly clarified, realizing that the other party was misunderstanding.

Hiring two dragons to torment the students and having two dragons come as inspectors were completely different stories.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Inspectors?! The Headmaster caused an accident… well… yeah… he caused a lot.

Ilrendil, who was confused, understood on their own.

Even if inspectors came, the wizards of Einrogard weren’t surprised. They just reacted with ‘It’s finally here.’

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Wait. Then what about the other dragon? Is that person also an inspector?

Gonadaldes: That person is just coming to see Einrogard.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: …Could it be that person who came last semester?

‘No. How did they know?’
