    • Episode 286 Cover
      by Cristae ‘Strange?’ Gainando, a sacrifice? No matter how hardship can change a person, could it possibly change someone this much? Yoner tilted his head, confused. Lee Han didn’t give his friend time to dwell on it. “We have to move quickly. Yoner! There’s no time!” “Ah… right. Yeah!” Gainando’s charge was much more effective than expected. Whether the curse magic was especially effective or the audacious dash had provoked it, the sand octopus, which had been firmly standing…
    • Episode 287 Cover
      by Cristae “This is a true contest. Professor will understand as well.” That was what Lee Han said. Professor Thunderstep had done his best to create the test, and Lee Han had done his best to solve it. Fair competition, on equal terms. In such a contest, nothing should be left lingering afterward. ‘He doesn’t exactly look like he’s understanding.’ Professor Thunderstep’s expression was nothing like that of a teacher graciously accepting his student’s victory. The way he breathed…
    • Episode 288 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 288 ‘As expected from someone trying to learn all schools of magic.’ Chil looked at Lee Han with eyes mixed half with pity and half with admiration. In truth, even though Chil said, "If you're interested, it's good to try practicing beforehand," he did not expect Lee Han would actually do it. Lee Han was about to take the first-year final exam soon, so he should be focusing on his own test. Why would he practice for the final exam seen by second-years? Even if he was interested,…
    • Episode 289 Cover
      by Cristae Lee Han was so shocked that Professor Ku became flustered. For a moment, he wondered if he’d misheard the score. “Why are you so upset? One point really isn’t a big deal.” “…That’s true.” He answered in agreement, but Lee Han’s expression was nothing like someone who agreed. He wore the face of a mage who had brought about the Empire’s destruction through his own mistake. “Thank you, Professor.” “Wardanaz. Are you sure you’re okay?” “I’m…
    • Episode 290 Cover
      by Cristae The students’ mood darkened rapidly. Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly. ‘Isn’t it because of the Skull Principal?’ With a principal who enjoyed tormenting others, it was no wonder the seniors’ personalities were… “Let’s just eat some cake.” “Yeah! Cake!” “Call the others from the other towers too.” “…Uh. Do we really need to?” “Yes. Go call them properly. Don’t cause trouble.” “W-what do you mean, Wardanaz? Of course I wouldn’t do…
    • Episode 291 Cover
      by Cristae ‘What a shame.’ Lee Han felt regretful upon realizing the Skull Principal had read his mind. Despite being in a situation where he could spread rumors, there was only one suspect, so he couldn’t even talk. The Skull Principal narrowed his blue glowing eyes at Lee Han. Looks like you’re plotting something suspicious… “No, I’m not.” Well, you probably won’t have any time to spread useless rumors anyway. Have a good break. When the Skull Principal gave up neatly without…
    • Episode 292 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 292 “What did you say?” “No, it was nothing.” Lee Han quickly changed the subject. He didn’t want to trouble the good-hearted old knight for no reason. “What do you plan to do during the vacation, Sir Lee Han? If you need anything, I, Allarlong, will do my best to assist you.” “Well… I suppose I should study.” Lee Han said, looking at the pile of books Fongrif was carrying. Being given a vacation didn’t mean, ‘Ah, it’s time to rest well with peace…
    • Episode 293 Cover
      by Cristae ‘What is this? Is it a trap?’ Lee Han hesitated when someone other than Ahsan came out in his place. Could it be that Ahsan was using this trick because he didn’t want to pay back the borrowed silver? ‘No. Ahsan isn’t that kind of bad guy.’ But he couldn’t let his guard down. Even if Ahsan wasn’t like that, the rest of his family might resort to underhanded tactics. Not all nobles were fair and honest. There were those who truly revered honor, and there were others,…
    • Episode 294 Cover
      by Cristae ‘Oops. What was I thinking?’ Lee Han quickly pulled himself together. Of course, the educational environment at Baldrogard was just a bit more comfortable than at Einrogard, but that didn’t necessarily have anything to do with magical ability. A wizard who graduated from Baldrogard could also be highly skilled. Besides, the opponent was a graduate. As just a first-year, there was no way Lee Han could underestimate them. “Wardanaz, I’m ready.” Ahsan whispered with a…
    • Episode 295 Cover
      by Cristae If they had hesitated while solving the problems or showed signs of fatigue, people would’ve said, “Let’s stop here,” but since those freshmen were handling everything so well, everyone just got more excited and kept egging them on. Thanks to this, only Doin was having a rough time. He was starting to run out of mana… “We’re ready.” Lee Han’s words sounded almost frightening at this point. Doin wiped the sweat from his brow and looked desperately at Lee Han. ‘What’s…
    • Episode 296 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 296 “Let’s go! Time to show our skills!” The alchemist spoke with a face full of resolve. Lee Han asked, a little flustered. “Um. I’d like to meet Yoner of the Meikin Family…” “Ah. That works out well. The person evaluating today is none other than Yoner of the Meikin Family. Just follow me.” At the alchemist’s words, Lee Han’s face brightened. He felt bad about interrupting the always-busy Meikin Family, but according to the alchemist, if they went now,…
    • Episode 297 Cover
      by Cristae ‘Am I doomed?’ Lee Han steeled himself. Since there was no answer, it seemed likely this was the reaction of fearing him as a member of the Empire’s crazy mage family… “That’s a truly excellent family.” “!” At Yoanen’s reaction, Lee Han’s face lit up. “I’m only ashamed that I can’t live up to the family’s reputation.” “No way. Even in the Wardanaz Family, talents like you must be rare.” The conversation was warm, but Lee Han couldn’t read…
    • Episode 298 Cover
      by Cristae “What's wrong, Yoner?” “Ah… nothing. Really. Um, we were just about to head out…” Yoner let her words trail off. Yoanen’s eyes sparkled behind her amethyst glasses. “Heading out?” “Yeah.” “Where are you going?” “To see friends.” “When will you be back?” “Uh… Well…?” “How about your friend from the Wardanaz Family?” “L-Lee Han is busy… Why?” “He seemed interested in alchemy.” “N-no, it’s not that much…
    • Episode 299 Cover
      by Cristae When royals met each other, it was different from siblings of other families meeting—it held a different meaning. Even among siblings from the same family, there’s at least some intimacy, but among royals, there were hardly any reasons to meet at all. Naturally, royals could only see each other as rivals… So whenever they gathered, a ruthless competitive spirit erupted. Each one strove to be acknowledged in front of others as the most outstanding royal! “…Still, the good part is…
    • Episode 300 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 300 While Lee Han frowned and tried to recall his memory, the royals began to take action. The prince, Bogajun, tapped his fingers on the table and spoke. "Judging by the heavy weight of the egg, it doesn't seem like it's from a flying creature." The princess, Judrantas, immediately objected. "You can't think that way about everything. There are heavy flying creatures, too." "I know that. But for the sake of speculation, we need to choose the most probable…" "That's what I'm…
    • Episode 301 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 301 “Huh? It’s already over?” Friends who had been hiding behind tables preparing their magic asked in confused voices. Checking with a mirror, the basilisk was truly knocked out. Yoner put the potion away and stood up. Nillia, who had been about to enchant an arrow, also stopped and stood up. Gainando as well, together with the skeletal warrior he had summoned… “Put it away, quickly!” “What are you doing, really!” “N-no… why…! Isn’t this magic…
    • Episode 302 Cover
      by Cristae “They keep staring. What if they look at me like that every time I run into them?” As Gainando whined, Lee Han thought of a good idea. It was something he’d already suggested to Ahsan before. “Just go outside the manor.” “Huh?” “What will they do if you’re walking around outside?” “Oh… Will you hang out with me?” “If you want.” Gainando’s face brightened. At this, Ratford felt pity. ‘It’s probably not going to be quite what you…
    • Episode 303 Cover
      by Cristae Salko was very friendly. It was the complete opposite of his usual attitude at school, where he frowned and avoided students from the Blue Dragon Tower. “Are you trying not to borrow money from your family?” “Something like that.” “Wardanaz, you’re a true noble.” Salko meant it as a compliment, but Lee Han didn’t take it that way. ‘If I could borrow money from my family, I wouldn’t be doing this, you bastard.’ From Lee Han’s perspective—who was raising funds…
    • Episode 304 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 304 If one could imitate swordsmanship just by watching, all the swordsmanship guilds and instructors of the Empire would have had to lay down their swords. Of course, if someone was truly an outstanding swordsman, they could grasp a certain amount of swordsmanship just by crossing swords. But that was still only 'to a certain extent'; it was impossible to read complex and abstruse sword forms in their entirety. Take, for example, the Enghe Family’s Sword-Absorption technique—it…
    • Episode 305 Cover
      by Cristae It wasn't just Valgaro who was mesmerized by the firepower of the flames Lee Han summoned. Other fire mages were also amazed and whispered among themselves. "Who is that mage? I’ve never seen his face before." "He’s definitely not an ordinary mage!" Valgaro, embarrassed by their gazes, whispered. "Hey! I told you there’s nothing good about letting other mages know you’re from Einrogard!" "Sorry. I failed to control it." "Artifacts aren’t all-powerful. Keep that in mind.…
