Chapter 28

-Oh yeah. She was supposed to give me a present.
The talking oak tree looked straight at Lee Han.
The soil in front of Lee Han’s feet wobbled, and branches sprouted up, entwined and twisted, and grew upwards.
All of a sudden, the branch had turned into a long magic wand.
“!”
The magic tools and artifacts of wizards were the same as the wizard’s limbs.
Among them, the magic wand was the most important artifact.
Sometimes it amplifies the power of magic.
Sometimes it shortens the casting time of magic.
Sometimes it makes you use magic that you can’t use…
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a wizard’s best friend.

Now, all the first-year students at the Magic School were wearing long staff-shaped magic wands made by the school.
Although it had no particular characteristics or personality, the strength of this magic wand was that it was very hard.
In addition, it was long enough to pass a person’s height, so Lee Han used it like a wooden stick.
Without this staff, it would not have been possible to catch the mutant pig released by Thunderstep.
-ah. Do you have any intention of changing the stick you are currently using?
“no?”
Without thinking for a second, Lee Han pulled out a new staff.
Tools are tools.
It was strange to be sentimental about such things.
‘Is there anyone who is hesitant when it comes to changing experimental equipment?’
From the side, Durgyu looked at Lee Han as if embarrassed.
widely-
When I pulled the new staff out of the ground, the first thing I felt was freshness.
It might have been strange to feel the freshness of the stick that fell off the ground, but Lee Han definitely felt it.
– How do you feel?
“It feels fresh…but.”
-!
The talking oak tree was startled.
I got used to the cane much quicker than I thought.
‘As soon as you hold onto it, you will feel the energy of the staff.’
Originally, I thought it would take much longer.
What Lee Han felt right now was the energy of the tree spirit in the staff.
That wooden staff was the staff crouched down by the spirits.
Just as a new wizard needs to repeat all kinds of training and trial and error to summon a spirit, it took a lot of effort to communicate with the spirit in the staff and draw power.
In the original case, it was possible to feel it when holding a staff and swinging it for several months, and it was possible only if there was some affinity for the spirits.
‘Your ability to sense magic is beyond your imagination. No matter how much of the Wodanaj family, they have that level of talent.’
-excellent. do you feel it
“Is that so?”
Lee Han looked at the talking oak tree with a puzzled expression.
I got this fresh feelingI didn’t quite understand what the great thing was.
It was only natural that he didn’t know what was inside.
– As you use the staff, you will know the power that resides within it.
“Could you please tell me now?”
-Can not be done. Even if you don’t rush, your talent will suffice.
Talking Oak is slowly starting to feel that Lee Han is a very unique freshman.
She said that sometimes she would come out like that among the freshmen.
Fearless, capable peers.
Lee Han’s appearance now reminded him of a maniac from the Wodanaj family whom he met about a hundred years ago.
He was much more polite and calm than that, but…
-ruler. i have to go back to sleep And now, don’t use magic near this forest. Your magic is so powerful that it wakes up all the trees around you.
“……”
‘Are you sure you didn’t mean to get out of bed because you were sleepy?’
Lee Han suddenly began to have doubts.
It was a bit strange to compliment him for saying that he felt a refreshing energy from the cane.
It was a bit suspicious that he didn’t immediately tell me the power of the wand.
Didn’t I just say that I was sleepy and wanted to go to sleep early?
If you just let it go, you can come back to this forest and be annoying, so I made a suitable staff for you…
However, regardless of Lee Han’s suspicion, the vacant lot began to close. The trees moved and the surroundings became cloudy, and gradually moved away from the vacant lot.
Beyond the blurred vision, the voice of a talking oak tree reached Lee Han’s ears.
-Remember the riddle I told you. If you unlock it, you can go outside.
* * * *
Fortunately, when we returned to the outside, all the undead had disappeared.
Lee Han and his party cautiously descended the mountain while the dawn of dawn gradually drove away the darkness.
Everyone was so exhausted that they wanted to quickly lie down on the bed and rest rather than do anything more.
dump!
As Lee Han entered the blue dragon tower, he threw himself on the bed. He was going to think about escaping or something after waking up.
“…naz! Wodanaj!”
After hours of sleep, I heard someone knocking on my private bedroom door and waking me up.
“What?”
Lee Han yawned and opened the door.
Asan, a human boy of the Dalcard family wearing glasses, stood in front of him.
“The principal bird, no, the teacher is running an event outside!”
‘You’re waking up in a bad way.’
Hearing that, Lee Han woke up suddenly.
Is the principal hosting the event?
‘…Isn’t this supposed to be a task to track down students who tried to escape?’
To be honest, there was a corner where I was stabbed and it was even more embarrassing.
Lee Han and his party came back without getting caught, but it wouldn’t be strange if the principal did something eccentric.
‘But if that’s true, it’s more dangerous not to attend.’
Ian knew it well.
When he originally had an accident he knew he had to act more as usual.
If you give out suspicious tea for nothing, you will be caught immediately.
“Okay. I’ll have to wake up Yonaire and Gainando and leave.”
“Isn’t everyone sleeping too late?”
When Lee Han woke up and walked out of the tower, the sun was already above their heads.
The three yawned and walked after the Blue Dragon Tower students.
“!”
The huge skeleton floating in front of the main building of the school caught my eye even from afar.
now! It is not an opportunity that comes every day! Come on! Young cast iron a… bowls! welcome!
“…??”
Looking at the atmosphere, it wasn’t like a search for the initiator.
Rather, it was more like a friendly gathering or event.
Several tents were set up in the front yard.People in high school uniforms smiled good-naturedly and presented food and drinks to good freshmen.
Lee Han also accidentally received the cookie the priest had given him. As if freshly baked, the cookies gave off a warm and wonderful scent.
Sweet jam leaked out with a crunchy and crumbling sound.
‘what? Is the school going to fail?’
The principal opened his mouth as if he had noticed Lee Han’s embarrassment.
On this happy weekend, priests from various denominations of the Empire visited the school. Will everyone be happy? ruler. clap!
Clap clap clap-
The freshmen clapped and clapped. The priests bowed their heads in gratitude.
“thank you. Osu Gonadaltes. You must always have a hard time teaching the young wizards of the Empire, but you will allow and help with such an event.”
haha. what It’s all my joy. Please pass on the word to your Majesty the Emperor. I need a budget to discover and research new ancient magic…
“I don’t know how helpful we will be, but we will do our best.”
The priests were bewildered by the blatant remarks of the Skeleton Principal.
However, Lee Han felt a certain familiarity with the appearance.
‘Can’t professors in any world be out of budget?’
Even an arrogant professor who seemed to have no fear in the world was bound to show weakness in front of the person who gave him a research budget.

No matter how fearless the Skeleton Principal was, he had no choice but to weaken in front of the Emperor of the Empire who supported the budget.
The priests spoke to the assembled students.
“Students who will become outstanding wizards in the future. It is an honor to meet you today. We are lowly servants who have come to represent the various denominations of the Empire. I would be really happy if I could introduce you to our denominations today.”
‘The magic is enormous.’
Lee Han was amazed at the magic he felt from his priests.
It felt like an incomparable amount of magical power was waving all over my body.
In addition, the magic of the priests was unusual.
It’s a magical power that contains divine energy.
Aren’t you curious?
“!”
Ian was goosebumps.
All of a sudden, the skeleton principal had come to Lee Han’s side, hiding his Inkigayo.
I understand. Because the magic of the priests is so unique that it is called divine power.
“Yes. I’ve heard it a lot, but it’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.”
He also sensed the magic of the priests.
‘shit.’
Lee Han realized his mistake.
I fell for the words of the principal.
Why are you trying to hide it? If you have great talent, you should be proud of it. The cast iron bar here… how many of the cast iron pots can detect magic so accurately?
Principal Skeleton asked as if he didn’t understand.
The wizard had to show off and show off his abilities.
So, extorting money from wealthy nobles, no, getting investment and researching stronger and higher magic…
‘Well. If I said I didn’t want to be with you, would I be left behind?’
Lee Han swallowed his thoughts.
Lee Han’s goal was to build good connections and graduate with good grades, not to explore the truth of magic with the Skeleton Principal.
But I can’t say that honestly.
“There are a lot of people who are better than me at this school, so I thought I had to be humble.”
isn’t it? In the future, make sure to show off your talents to every student you meet. It should be so.
‘Isn’t this crazy?’
As the principal said, Lee Han’s friendship will be with only one Gainando left in one day.
Fortunately, Principal Skeleton changed the topic again, apparently because he had no interest in Lee Han’s friendship.
Perhaps the Wodanaj family is concerned with the faith.As there were no Sims, there would have been no meeting with the priests.
“Yes. It was.”
The Empire had many gods and denominations that worshiped them, but the wizards were not familiar with the original faith.
Basically, wizards…
I am also not very interested in religion. Because I’m too smart to believe in God.
‘…I guess that’s what it is.’
Although not as extreme as the Skeleton Principal, there were many unbelievers among the wizards.
In fact, Lee Han’s father, the head of the Wodanaj family, once said this during a meal.
-Sacred power is a type of magic. However, the collective beliefs of many disabled children only caused a change in their temperament. Holy magic is also a kind of magic after all. Why divine “magic”?
-Then, my lord. What do you think of studying divine magic?
– Good idea. If you want to waste your time in vain. Compared to real magic elaborated on the basis of formulas and theories, divine magic is just a savage savage who cries out of faith and emotion.
‘I must never reveal that I am from the Wodanaj family in front of the priests.’
After the recollection, Lee Han nodded his head.

No matter how good the priests are, hearing those words will cause unprecedented anger.
Perhaps Woudanaz has the same thoughts as me. Churches are also very pathetic. If they’re enough to go in to bring you some food, they’re probably useless for anything. Are you holding an event like this?
Principal Skeleton grumbled next to Lee Han, wondering if he needed someone to grumble with.
Lee Han, who listened silently, opened his mouth.
“principal.”
why?
“Are there any denominations you can recommend?”
……
In response to the reaction that made the person who just said something embarrassing, Principal Skeleton looked at Lee Han as if it were ridiculous.
‘Wait, denominations?’

Not the denomination, but the denomination ‘fields’?
