    • Episode 1019 Cover
      by Cristae Lee Han was baffled. The headmaster’s comment was just so out of left field. “What does Professor Baegrek arriving have to do with me not being here?” Oh… it has quite a lot to do with it. As he spoke, the headmaster glared once more at the archmage beside him. The imperial archmage, mother of Yukveltire and Adenart, fidgeted and lowered her head. You know how Professor Voladi tends to be… overprotective, right? “What???!” The comment was so absurd Lee Han almost blurted…
    • Episode 1018 Cover
      by Cristae It wasn’t exactly comforting to realize that some other-dimensional monster thought Lee Han looked appetizing—especially when even the baby basilisk now agreed. The misunderstood baby basilisk whirled its tail behind it like a windmill, protesting. -I never had such thoughts! ‘I haven’t even told you what I was thinking yet.’ -I think those bad monsters sensed Master’s mana. The baby basilisk, being a fellow monster, could accurately guess the hunger of a foe it had never even…
    • Episode 1017 Cover
      by Cristae ‘But you should even learn from your enemies.’ A brilliant Einrogard student must even learn lessons from vicious foes. Lee Han made up his mind that the next time he met villains, he should try sowing discord right from the start. “I’ll try deceiving them.” “Understood.” ‘Huh?’ Lee Han was slightly bewildered at how readily his fellow explorers agreed. He expected them to at least say it was too soon or to try to stop him. “Is this really okay? If I make even a…
    • Episode 1016 Cover
      by Cristae "Let's move! Upward!" The expedition members made their decision quickly. No matter how tempting the monster was, or how much they wanted those bounties on the criminals… "Damn it. Each of us here could have gotten 8,125 gold coins apiece just by nabbing one of them." "……" "……" Even in this situation, the party was horrified by Einrogard's mage who did perfect mental math on the spot. With infamous imperial criminals and a void monster on the loose, bounties hadn't even…
    • Episode 1015 Cover
      by Cristae “A truly despicable and cunning fellow. Everyone, be careful!” Even without Lee Han saying it, the expedition members were already on high alert. They were deep in the underground waterways outside the capital, tracking a monster from another dimension. Anyone who appeared here simply could not be an ordinary person. “I’ll take the lead, support me.” “Yes.” The knight-turned explorer poured mana explosively into his sword. Undulating aura shimmered above the blade. The…
    • Episode 1014 Cover
      by Cristae “Then let’s begin. Pengerine and Wardanaz, if the spell calculations go awry, please adapt and assist as necessary.” “Understood.” The wizards began preparations to fully unveil the hidden veil deep in the underground sewers. Though already more than a third of the veil had been stripped away, with dimensional energy from the eroded reality leaking out, it was time to reveal the true form now that the expedition’s preparations were finished. “Awaken, show…
    • Episode 1013 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 1013 Jinon, persuaded by the other wizards' words, accepted their reasoning. The letter’s contents were a bit odd, but not unreasonable. “Then I’ll gladly accept her kindness. Lady Erindarbel didn’t really have to go this far…” “She’s one of the few archmages in the Empire worthy of respect.” The wizards straightened their collars and showed their respect. In an Empire teeming with eccentric archmages, a responsible mage like Erindarbel was always respected by…
    • Episode 1012 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 1012 “If you mean other friends, who are you talking about?” “Yes?” Lee Han was flustered because he hadn’t expected to be asked to name specific friends. As expected, the insight of an archmage was sharper than most. “…Senior Direte, and Lee Han of the Wardanaz family…” Flustered, Lee Han made a choice he would never normally make. He added his own name to the list of friends. The Death Knight walking beside him felt sorry for him…
    • Episode 1011 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 1011 The Death Knight sitting on the coachman's seat quickly assessed the faces of the wizards who had come to greet him. ‘Lava Birds Tower, Snowflake Tower, Water Horse Mountain Range Tower, why are those Paragranum Guild guys here? Even Obsidian Tower…’ Even with a cursory glance, the number of magic towers participating was more than just a couple. It looked like Erindarbel had shared the news she heard with several towers. The skeletal headmaster seemed to realize this too,…
    • Episode 1010 Cover
      by Cristae On their way out of the tower (the headmaster having to set the main gate on fire to distract the mages’ attention), the skeleton headmaster asked, “What did you mean by handling the Nago family's reagents?” “I left school during Club Week and took an outside job for some pocket money. That’s all it was.” “You’re a diligent fellow. At times, I wonder if you really belong in Blue Dragon Tower.” To have finished a commission in such a short time—even with a battle against evil…
    • Episode 1009 Cover
      by Cristae While the skeleton headmaster and his knights were locked in serious consideration, the reason for the mages’ overwhelming reaction became clear. “I heard you completed Gawon’s magic! Please, come to Daylily Tower and let your jewel-like talent shine!” “Pardon?” Lee Han suddenly recalled last year’s symposium. And responded. “It was more an improvement than completion, technically…” “It was completion.” “Honestly, it was finished—no two ways about…
    • Episode 1008 Cover
      by Cristae Some of the mages thought as much, but none stopped what was coming. It was inevitable. Just as a moth will fly into the fire knowing it will burn, mages are the sort to leap into wisdom even knowing it leads to ruin. Even if the wicked archmage Gonadaltes had once deceived them with Professor Garcia, that didn’t matter now. If, out of petty resentment, they missed even a single mage who truly wanted to join Daylily Tower… ‘That would be unforgivable!’ Unlike small grievances,…
    • Episode 1007 Cover
      by Cristae The nobles present were even more aghast than before. Haiden was one thing, but Lady Kraha as well? It was simply unbelievable. One noble tried to regain composure by gulping down a cup of scalding tea (which didn’t help much) before asking, “L-Lady Kraha. You just said—even with all Lord Gonadaltes’s devotion to the Empire, you would not let this go easily.” “How hurtful,” the skeleton headmaster feigned disappointment beside them, but none of the nobles bothered to…
    • Episode 1005 Cover
      by Cristae Without a hint of hesitation, the mage’s instant acceptance deeply moved Uman. There was clearly good reason for the lavish praise his great elder sister Joulin had given him. ‘Truly an excellent mage. He surely understands what a great cause is.’ Crunch! Overwhelmed by emotion, Uman’s head began reverting to its original form—that of a dragon’s head covered in jet-black scales. “Oh dear. What a blunder!” Uman quickly regained his composure and polymorphed back to human,…
    • Episode 1005 Cover
      by Cristae “No, but what good does sending out letters like these do? All it does is attract wicked types to Her Highness’s side.” “Her Highness Joulin barely goes out, so that’s not an issue. And it’s not as if these were broadcast to the entire world.” The skeleton headmaster was already in high spirits thanks to the erased debt. Seeing his disciple jumping with agitation only made him happier. “Only the heads of reasonably scaled families receive these letters. As for the palace…
    • Episode 1004 Cover
      by Cristae The skeleton headmaster looked down at his student mumbling over a stack of papers with an expression of reassurance. He’d thought it before, but perhaps the greatest genius of this Wardanaz mage wasn’t his magical talent, but his powers of persuasion. Once again, let him charm the Empire’s bureaucrats! * * Silvas, who worked as an examiner at the Imperial Treasury, was shocked. After returning from evaluating the -Centaur Magical Relay- project out east to see if it had any…
    • Episode 1003 Cover
      by Cristae “Are there any creditors you didn’t threaten roughly?” “There are a few I threatened gently.” “…Are there any creditors you didn’t threaten at all?” At that, the skeleton headmaster slowly lifted his shoulders. “You’ve improved in magic, but you’re still asking stupid questions. Who in that situation would willingly hand over gold and cooperate?” Imperials weren’t fools. No matter if the skeleton headmaster was the Empire’s Spirit Commander and the guardian of…
    • Episode 1002 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 1002 ‘Did I play my role as a senior at least a little?’ Lee Han felt proud. Having received help from the seniors of Einrogard himself, it was more fulfilling than he expected to know he could pass that same help on to his juniors. Closing his eyes, Lee Han recalled the seniors who had helped him. Senior Direte, and… ‘…Hmm. I can’t recall, but there must be more.’ He figured the names didn’t come to mind because he’d been so busy lately. Lee Han decided to…
    • Episode 1001 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 1001 While Senior was fuming over the absurdity, Lee Han kept moving without stopping. In fact, the fact that Yukveltire got angry had already long vanished from Lee Han’s mind. Some mages of Einrogard were on Lee Han’s list of -people you can ignore even if they grumble or complain-, and this senior, who bore the blood of the royals, had also confidently made it onto that list. “Huh!? You can move already?!” On the second floor of the Black Dark Hall, Direte, who was…
    • Episode 1000 Cover
      by Cristae "Well, I’m off now." As both his hands were occupied, Lee Han had no choice but to wave the hand holding the hamster cage as a farewell. The hamster inside let out a furious series of squeaks. “W-wait. Wardanaz!” Giselle, unusually flustered, called after Lee Han. “You’re not going to whip these idiots into shape!?” ‘That’s too harsh.’ The White Tiger Tower students drooped. True, their average grades were lower than the Blue Dragon Tower kids, but…
