Surviving As A Mage In A Magic Academy [EN]: Chapter 1120

This is more fun than I thought.

Beside Uman, Lee Han, who had been offering advice, felt a thrill at the power he was experiencing for the first time.

Is this the power everyone talks about?

With this power, he felt like he could do anything. He could make Gainan study all day, or make Professor Verdus just lecture instead of doing research. It was a very strong power that could change the Empire a lot.

Oops. I’m getting too caught up in the power.

Lee Han shook his head.

Wizards need to be careful with strong power. Many wizards in the past destroyed themselves because they got too addicted to power they got quickly.

First, let’s focus on inspecting Professor Verdus!

Let’s go, Your Highness!

Right! Professor Verdus…! Hmm. Are you sure this is okay?

Trust me.

Uman followed behind Lee Han, wondering if this was the right thing to do.

The students in the third-year class yawned widely. Some were even dozing off.

Professor Verdus did not change his teaching style. He threw a large chest in front of the students. Then, he said the same thing again.

Figure out how to safely disarm it on your own.

Could you at least give us a hint?

No way! Have you ever seen dangerous artifacts give hints?

The students cursed the professor in their minds. Some cursed him openly.

Ugh, when is someone going to finally tell him off?

Why is he even teaching if he acts like this?

More importantly, why is that person crawling around on all fours?!

If the lecture was only for students from the Buyeo Magic Academy, there would be fewer complaints.

Students used to Professor Verdus ignored him, whether he ignored them or made a fuss, and did their own thing.

However, students from other schools also attended the lecture.

Professor Verdus’s behavior of throwing a dangerous artifact at them and telling them to safely disarm it themselves made the students angry.

Wasn’t he just saying he was going to not try hard?

Shouldn’t we just pick it up and throw it at the professor?

That’s genius. I’ll block his left arm, anyone want to block his right arm?

Is it just me, or is anyone else bothered by Professor Verdus crawling around on all fours? Why isn’t anyone else bothered by it?

Bang!

While the third-year students were whispering plans to cause trouble, the door burst open with a loud crash.

Uman whispered, a little nervous.

There was no need to break the door…

You must show the dignity of the Inspector, Your Highness.

The Death Knights, who had followed Lee Han, agreed.

Of the many things the Inspector could do in Einroguard, inspecting Professor Verdus was a good choice.

Still, when Uman hesitated, Lee Han quickly shouted.

Professor Verdus! By the power of the sacred Inspector given by His Majesty the Emperor, I will re-inspect your lectures and duties!

What?! Why?!

Professor Verdus was very surprised.

Why him, a wizard with no faults, and not a nasty wizard like Headmaster Skull?

Lee Han didn’t answer. Instead, he told the Death Knights what to do.

Drag him away! Lock him in the detention room and make him do Professor Garcia’s grading!

No! Drag Gonadaltez away instead of me!

Professor Verdus was dragged away screaming. Uman, still worried, asked.

If we suddenly lock him up like this, who will teach the students?

Ah. Don’t worry. Senior Yookvelteere will lecture instead.

For Yookvelteere, who had been quietly doing research, it was a shock, but Lee Han didn’t care.

He thought fifth-year students should sacrifice a little for their juniors. He could see that just by looking at Senior Dirette.

I, I see…

Now then. By the power of the Inspector, I will send a letter to our senior. Everyone, have a good day!

The Inspector and his right-hand man rushed in like a storm and disappeared again like a storm.

The students in the lecture hall were so shocked that no one could speak until Yookvelteere rushed in, looking angry.

Professor! I cannot allow you to pass on the lecture without permission… Wait, where did the professor go?

He, he was dragged away.

?!!

News of the changed Inspector spread quickly.

Iaktus: What a vile Inspector!

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Isn’t it a good thing?

Iaktus: What’s so good about it! Such appeasement will divide and weaken the students!

The matter was even being discussed in the Watchers Club.

Iffeldrem: I don’t understand what’s wrong with the Inspector who came to Einroguard…

Iaktus: Shut up!

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Shut up!

Iffeldrem: I, I’m sorry.

Iaktus: Wodanaz is helping the Inspector, right? That guy. An Einroguard student working with foreign powers.

Iffeldrem: Wodanaz?!

Lee Han quickly sent a private message to Senior Ilendil.

Gonadaltez: Senior. Senior. Please make excuses for me.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: …Aren’t you overworking me too much?

Still, Ilendil defended him.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: The Inspector must have threatened him.

Iaktus: Ha! Is that all it takes?! If he’s threatened twice, he’ll sell Einroguard to Baldroguard!

Iffeldrem: Wow. Can we buy it?

Starfish: Th, that. Iffeldrem. Saying that doesn’t sound very good…

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: Instead of just getting angry, why don’t you think about how to use it? If the Inspector listens to that junior, you can control the Inspector by controlling the junior.

Lee Han was so surprised that he sent another private message.

Gonadaltez: Senior. What are you doing right now.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: S, sorry. I was making excuses and my hands moved without thinking.

Is this person making things worse when I told them to make it better?

Beaver-Penguin-Fox: But now that I think about it, it seems like a good opportunity… Could we use some of the Einroguard budget for the Spirit Forest?

Gonadaltez: I’ll be going now.

Lee Han quickly closed the book.

Power was truly scary. He was already getting requests like this.

I need to be careful for a while.

He became worried that even his seniors and friends might want to use the Inspector’s power.

Lee Han decided firmly.

He would act without personal gain, or with only a little personal gain, and with the pure intention of helping Jo Ulin’s younger sibling!

Ah. Senior.

The dark four-story tower on the west side of the main building was the Black Darkness Hall.

It was the headquarters of Einroguard’s Black Magic School, and home to tombstones, graves, garbage pits, and swamps.

Lee Han met Ogoldos, a senior from the same school, in front of it and felt a little wary.

Maybe he wants the Inspector’s power that I have.

Why, why are you looking at me like that? Is something wrong?

Ogoldos was even more wary of his junior’s gaze.

Considering the fighting power of this junior, who was training to be a combat wizard, it might be better to stay away.

It’s nothing. Senior, if you want to use the Inspector’s power, I will never allow it.

Wh, what are you talking about?

Ogoldos was even more confused.

He knew an Inspector had come to Einroguard, but wanting to use power?

What was that supposed to mean?

Huh?

Lee Han paused.

The senior’s reaction was a little different from what he had expected.

Senior, haven’t you heard that Professor Verdus was arrested?

Professor Verdus was arrested!? I knew it. I knew it. If it’s an Inspector, they should arrest him first.

Ogoldos was surprised, then understood.

In fact, it would have been strange if the Inspector hadn’t said ‘Professor Verdus, I’m arresting you!’ at the banquet as soon as he arrived.

Senior. What did you do today?

Today? I checked the garbage pit, took care of the mushrooms, and summoned the undead to check on them.

What about yesterday?

I took care of the mushrooms, checked the garbage pit, and summoned the undead to check on them. Ah. And we got a request to buy black magic stuff. Heh heh. We bought ten barrels of ankle-grabber poison from the southern farm. This should be enough for this semester.

Lee Han felt tears in his eyes for no reason.

Why did he feel so touched whenever he came to the Black Magic School?

But why did you ask?

It’s nothing.

At the top of the list of personal desires in his heart, Lee Han wrote a new line.

-Support the Black Magic School

While the two were talking, Senior Dirempa appeared from above.

He didn’t usually see this senior because he was always underground, but Lee Han greeted him politely because he had met him during this vacation under the name Stedal Nago.

Hello, Senior Dirempa.

Who are you… Ah, are you a junior from the Wodanaz family?

Yes.

Wait, have I met you before?

Dirempa tilted his head. ‘Have we met before? You look familiar… but I don’t think I know anyone from the Wodanaz family… unless… were you using a different name before?’

He had heard a lot about the junior, but he didn’t remember meeting him in person like this.

I’ve heard so much about you from Senior Dirette that I know you right away. He always praises you.

See? Ogoldos? This is respect.

Dirempa was very happy.

Senior Cohalti had said he was a crazy junior, but after meeting him, he was much more polite than he had thought.

As expected, Senior Cohalti is not someone to be trusted.

By the way, Senior. Are you aware of the Inspector’s power?

I know an Inspector came, but what power are you talking about?

What did you do today, yesterday?

The dwarf senior tilted his head and counted on his fingers.

Today, I found bones underground, and yesterday… I found bones underground.

You managed to come out?

Ogoldos asked, sounding surprised.

This senior was always underground, so Ogoldos didn’t see him much either.

I heard a new demon came to the Black Magic School, so I came to see. I was going to ask if you knew anything about bones.

Ah.

Orlauth, the Pride Duke’s duel standard-bearer and former jester demon, whom he had saved from the angels during this vacation.

Instead of running away, this demon had signed a contract to work at Einroguard’s Black Magic School.

I need to warn him to pretend he doesn’t know.

Lee Han thought to himself.

That demon had no tact, so he didn’t know what nonsense he would say if he wasn’t told in advance.

What. Is everyone here?

Dirette, who arrived last, looked at the juniors, puzzled.

The number of students was small, and each of them was busy, so it was rare for Black Magic School students to gather like this.

Lee Han asked to make sure.

Senior Dirette. Are you aware of the Inspector’s power?

What’s that?

I see. It’s nothing.

Lee Han smiled.

He felt like he could relax in front of the Black Magic School people, no matter how scary this power was.

Did everyone come to check on the demon? Just unlock the lock and I’ll be on my way. I have something to do.

What is it?

They say a pretty old piece of black magic was found in the east, and the headmaster told me to analyze it and write a report.

Everyone nodded, but Lee Han felt uneasy.

Huh?

Not to Professor Mortoom, but to you, Senior?

They told Professor Mortoom to do it, but if the professor is busy, I’ll do it.

Dirette said it like it was nothing.

By the time they were in their fifth year, they were good enough to do a professor’s job in Einroguard.

In other words, if the professor was busy, they would do the work instead.

Lee Han nodded.

I’ll be back in a bit. Take a look at the demon first.
