    • Episode 360 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 360 "In truth, isn’t it that Professor wants to join the dark magic meetings?" Not all professors in the world were like Professor Voladi. Among professors, there were more cases than you’d think of those who wanted to hang out with students (obliviously). Especially in less popular fields like dark magic. It must have been difficult to get along with other professors in Einrogard, so the loneliness was all the more severe. "What?" But Direte looked utterly surprised at Lee…
    • Episode 359 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 359 The reason dark wizards lingered near cemeteries was not because they liked cemeteries. Of course, some peculiar dark wizards did like cemeteries, but it was rare for a wizard to choose a cold and gloomy cemetery over a warm and cozy fireplace. The reason dark wizards stayed near cemeteries was because it was advantageous for dark magic. By getting used to the aura of death, they could become more familiar with undead summons, gain additional mana for all sorts of dark magic, and…
    • Episode 358 Cover
      by Cristae “A mana stone is ultimately just a substitute. To implement the purest mana a mage can create with a mana stone…” “Is that important right now?” Lee Han pointed to the penguin beastman mage who was slumped over, addressing Yumidihus. He wasn’t all that curious about the difficulty of replicating high-quality pure mana with a mana stone. It was far more important whether a crazy mage was going to shove their research assignment onto him or not. “Miss Pengerin. Please get a grip.…
    • Episode 357 Cover
      by Cristae “It’s done.” “What!?” Alsicle was startled. While he was talking with Yumidihus, Lee Han had finished organizing everything. “Already!? All of that?!” “What have you been doing?” Yumidihus looked at Alsicle disapprovingly. To think a first-year student could sort out that much material so quickly when Alsicle just stacked it up and neglected it. “N-no… I was going to organize it too… but… there was a kind of complexity that made it…
    • Episode 356 Cover
      by Cristae ‘This is bad.’ There are few words more terrifying to a struggling researcher than, “Let’s take a look at how your research is going these days.” In reality, Alsicle was trembling so much his teeth were chattering. "Alsicle Pengerin. Pull yourself together. Are you trying to show weakness in front of the inspector?" "I… I know. If, if I kidnap the inspector…" "Pull yourself together." "I-I understand." "You've been a bit muddled lately, but you’re an excellent…
    • Episode 355 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 355 "Yeah. Tell the other followers to stay inside the Mage Tower." "No, there’s nothing like that…" When Lee Han also started talking nonsense, his friends got even more flustered. "Miss Pengerin. Let's hurry and find His Highness the Prince! If His Highness goes missing, the imperial great noble families who are acquainted with him will be extremely worried." "Al, alright! Wait!" Alsicle waddled as he hurried out. Since Alsicle himself was from an imperial noble family,…
    • Episode 354 Cover
      by Cristae Of course, refusing wasn’t allowed. Interpreting his disciple’s refusal as admirable humility, not wanting to trouble his master, Professor Voladi drew his staff. Lee Han, as if waiting for this, also drew his staff immediately. “???” Not grasping the situation, Alsicle looked at the two, flustered. The way they glared tensely at each other, it was as if they were about to duel. “What are you doing right now? What are you two doing?” Professor Voladi showed through action…
    • Episode 353 Cover
      by Cristae “Why are you doing this?” Alsicle looked at Yumidihus with blank eyes. “Alsicle Pengelrin. Do you know what these reagents are?” “Sir Yumidihus…” At his teacher’s utterly absurd question, Alsicle trailed off as if he pitied him. “Are you saying you don’t recognize what kind of reagents these are…?” “……” Yumidihus considered beating his disciple senseless for pitying him but held back. “…I’m not asking because I don’t recognize them. It’s…
    • Episode 352 Cover
      by Cristae At his disciple’s pathetic words, Yumidihus clicked his tongue. Of course, Alsicle didn’t hear it. Alsicle had the ability to ignore voices insulting him. ‘Such shameful words.’ Of course, magic wasn’t all about circles. Circles were just the most convenient unit, not the most accurate one. But that shamelessness of changing the subject right after bringing up circles himself and then losing… ‘That’s probably why he still hasn’t come to his senses.’ Anyone else…
    • Episode 351 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 351 “Is it possible that someone is ruder than Professor Baegrek…” Lee Han, who was about to speak however his tongue moved, belatedly realized that Voladi was right next to him. “…isn’t that obvious? Most people in the Empire would be ruder than Professor Baegrek.” “Are you insane?” Yumidihus was dumbfounded. He was so flabbergasted that he looked at Professor Voladi as if to say, ‘why don’t you say something too’. But Professor Voladi replied without…
    • Episode 350 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 350 Lee Han wiped his tears with a handkerchief. Strangely, his vision was blurry. ‘Is it raining?’ “…You should eat something, at least. I’ll go buy something.” “No, we should treat you.” “If we take your silver coins for ice cream when underclassmen barely show up as it is, they’ll stop coming for good.” The seniors sat Lee Han down in front of the fountain and walked toward the ice cream cart. -…I said I don’t want it… -…I can’t yield on…

      by Cristae Episode 349 “…Don’t make me cry.” Not just Chil, but the other healing magic upperclassmen also struggled to see through their tear-blurred vision. In this situation, maybe the best choice for the junior would have been to just escape. But by not running away, he moved them deeply. “Did you see that? Today is the day!” “It’s in front of a junior! Show them properly!” The healing magic students shouted as they charged. ‘Is today the day?’ ‘If it’s not,…

      by Cristae Episode 348 30 minutes later. Professor Garcia returned, panting for breath. “S… Sorry, everyone. You all waited a long time, didn’t you?” “???” Lee Han started to feel something was off. Professor Garcia was panting as if he had been in some sort of altercation with someone. ‘Could it be that he beat up the people who picked a fight earlier?’ But Professor Garcia’s personality was simply too gentle for that to make sense. “Pr- Professor. At least have some of…
    • Episode 347 Cover
      by Cristae "Still, couldn't we at least stop by once…?" Ignoring Gainando's muttering beside him, Professor Garcia turned to Lee Han. "If you all want to tour the shopping district, I'll treat you." "Is that really all right?" Lee Han looked at Professor Garcia, puzzled. Judging by the atmosphere at Einrogard, it was unusual for a professor to buy things for a student. Was this okay? "It's not typical, but there are sometimes exceptions. Just this once, I'll treat you all." When Professor…
    • Episode 346 Cover
      by Cristae "Why not?" "I don’t want to suppress it by amplifying fire energy." "I see." Puyo nodded, as if understanding what Lee Han meant. "You don't like it because it's too simple a method." "…That's not it." Lee Han almost choked up for a moment. It wasn't about a craftsman's aesthetic sense as an artifact mage at all. "I'm having trouble controlling fire-related magic." "A mage of your caliber?" Puyo was flustered by Lee Han’s words. Among all elements, fire was considered…
    • Episode 345 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 345 The princess, sensing something ominous from Puyo's answer, tugged on Lee Han's sleeve. But Lee Han decided this much was still manageable. ‘He could have used harsher insults, but didn't. By artifact mages’ standards, this is decent.’ He could have used far worse than "idiot," but stuck to that. In a way, it could be called kind. "Isn't that right?" At Lee Han's explanation, the princess blinked rapidly, seemingly convinced. Since the other party said nothing, Lee…
    • Episode 344 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 344 "That's right!" "……" When Rowena answered in his stead, Lee Han looked at her in horror. But Rowena, not noticing Lee Han's gaze, continued happily. "The Wardanaz here studies other magic as well, but still receives the professor's favor." 'Those bastards from the White Tiger Tower really have no sense.' Lee Han lamented inwardly. He had no idea whether the other party was Professor Verdus's enemy or friend, so what was he supposed to do if they suddenly announced he…
    • Episode 343 Cover
      by Cristae “Is something wrong?” “It’s nothing.” Lee Han pulled himself together. The princess and her group’s extravagant sense of money was dizzying, but right now it was certainly helpful. ‘Yeah, begging the professors for help wouldn’t do much good anyway.’ Even if he asked Verd—no, the professors for help, there was a high chance they’d refuse outright. It was much easier to benefit from the goodwill of the sponsors. “Then, let’s go and collect the staffs.” But…
    • Episode 342 Cover
      by Cristae ‘He’s shameless!’ Lee Han seethed inside. He had treated the duke with the utmost respect, yet the man dared to do such a thing. Who do you think the summoned poisonous abomination had targeted? It had been Duke Ikaldoren, not Lee Han or his friends. So having stopped the poisonous abomination, shouldn’t the duke have at least started with, “Thank you. As expected of an Einrogard student; your courage is admirable,” and rewarded him? Of course, Lee Han had intervened thinking…
    • Episode 341 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 341 ‘This is strange.’ The skeleton principal was ill-tempered, but he wasn't stupid. He surely knew the banquet hall was located in the very center of Granden City—would he torment the students and ignore the possibility of bystanders getting caught up in it? ‘…Maybe it's not my enemy, but the duke's?’ Lee Han glanced at Duke Ikaldoren. The duke waited with his arms crossed, showing no change in his expression. From his attitude, one could sense an arrogance that said…
