Chapter 4
004
The private room given to each was surprisingly spacious and comfortable.
It didn’t look like the headmaster skeleton took away his private room even if he didn’t give me anything else.
Of course, this was Lee Han Ki-joon’s idea, and by now the other nobles were shocked to see the appearance of a shabby room with nothing.
-Uh… Is this where the beggars live?
– Maybe someone stole the room?
dump-
The room feels more spacious because there is nothing except for the desk, chair, and bed.
Lee Han first organized the clothes she had received, put her luggage in the corner, and took out a book.
<About Einroguard>.
It was a thin book with a brief description of the school that each received before entering.
‘You must take the compulsory subjects, and you can freely choose the rest. In the first month, you can walk around and listen to which lectures are best for you…’
This school seemed strict, but it was free in this area.
Once you enter, you don’t really care what your students are studying.
-A wizard is a person who seeks the truth of the world. Even if his seniors and teachers help him, he has to decide his own path and move forward. Osu Gonadaltes.
‘The principal’s name was Osu Gonadaltes.’
Having received information that he did not want to know much, Lee Han roughly finished his work and got up from his seat.
Earlier, he said he could go to the freshman break room, so he decided to go and talk a bit.
* * * *
“I want to learn alchemy.”
Yonner came down first. Upon discovering that Lee Han had arrived, Yonner waved his hand warmly.
“alchemy?”
“yes. He’s been interested in alchemy since he was in the family. myMy dream is to open a workshop and deliver to the imperial family.”
“I’ll have some money.”
“Would you like to join us?”
“Ugh. I’ll think about it. Alchemy business is not that easy.”
Lee Han did not accept it right away.
Just as Yoner was interested in alchemy from the time he was in the family, Lee Han was interested in business from the time he was in the family.
He sounded plausible when it came to alchemy, but the empire’s alchemy business was also highly competitive.
Guilds made by outstanding alchemists were fighting fiercely to steal market share.
Sprinkle free potions to the Adventurer’s Guild, spread bad rumors about potions made by the opponent’s Alchemy Guild, monopolize all herbs used for potions, and so on.
I couldn’t help but be afraid as each rumor was so horrific.
‘It might be better to be stable.’
Lee Han’s primary goal was to become an imperial official, or civil servant.
There was nothing wrong with being a civil servant.
“Then where are you interested?”
“me?”
When Lee Han was asked the question, he was a little perplexed.
because…
‘I was thinking of taking subjects with less competition and good grades.’
Academics and whatever, the grades I received here became my specifications when I went outside.
Of course, Lee Han couldn’t care less.
“I had a month to spare, so I decided to look around and decide. Because you shouldn’t judge anything too hastily.”
“Wow… that’s great.”
“??”
Lee Han didn’t understand what’s so great, so he looked at Yonaire.
Anything great?
“Usually, they come thinking about the magic they want to learn. according to his own taste. But that’s not necessarily the best way…”
It was difficult for him to know what kind of magic he was suitable for until he tried it himself.
And forcibly learning magic that doesn’t fit your aptitude is less efficient than you think.
A wizard who pursues the truth had to learn to break his stubbornness and choose a better path.
But as a human being, he has greed, and if he has greed, he wants to go the way he wants.
It was not easy to let go of such greed.
“Is this the Wodanaj family rule?”
‘If I say anything, all the Wordanaj clan will come out?’
Ian was not funny.
He did not know when he was inside the family, but when he came out, he realized the power of the family name more.
Just like the eyes of the Black Turtle Tower students earlier…
Perhaps the image of the Wodanaj family was much stronger than Lee Han had thought.
“It’s a big deal!”
“??”
Gainando, who arrived late, shouted in haste.
“What’s going on?”
“There must have been a thief in my room! Nothing!”
“……”
* * * *
Basic understanding of magic.
It was a compulsory subject for first-year students entering Einroguard.
Perhaps it was a subject that only the Blue Dragon Tower students took, but the other tower students were not seen.
“Does everyone look weird?”
“I’m hungry, I’m sleepy because I haven’t slept well, and my clothes are rough and I’m nervous when I move.”
Guy Nando nodded her head as if sympathizing with Yoner’s words.
When he woke up early in the morning, Gainando thought that yesterday was a dream.
He expected that freshly buttered hot white bread and hot soup with chicken and spices would be served, of course.
But that wasn’t a dream, and Gainando woke up from his bed and greeted him with hard black bread, hard rice balls, and a glass of cold water.
‘I was edible…’
Ian thought so.
Since he was born into the Wodah Naz family, he was very friendly, but originally, Lee Han was a person who had a very difficult life.
-Uh… I was wrong.me? Seniors. If you work from 9 am to 9 pm, when do you eat?
-ruler. here. energy bar. It’s breakfast, lunch and dinner, so eat sparingly.
-…Is that bullshit?
– Don’t do that to me. I also have to drain my energy right away. Still, when it’s over, Jinsu Sungchan is waiting for you.
-If you say cup noodles, I will kill you.
-…sorry. It’s cup noodles.
-……
-But there is also triangular kimbap…
‘Well. I think it’s a little better now.’
However, except for Lee Han, all the Blue Dragon Tower students looked exhausted.
This happened the day after entering school.
quiver-
The <Understanding Basic Magic> lecture room was located on the first floor of the Einroguard main building.
It was the kindness of the school that took care of the new students.
The higher you go upstairs, the more likely new students will get lost.
“…uh…?”
“Okay, am I in the wrong place?”
“I came in right. ruler. Everyone sit down.”
The students stopped in front of the door, and Lee Han was puzzled.
Why are you doing that?
The answer came right away.
There was a troll in the classroom.
“……”
“……”
“Come in quickly!”
“Uh… um…”
The students hesitated and entered the classroom with a mixture of fear and fear.
troll.
It was a fierce and vicious monster that even the students who had lived in the family for the rest of their lives had heard the name.
A troll like that was waiting for him, dressed like a professor, so he couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

Now I’m confused whether this is a classroom or a troll’s buffet.
“ruler. I should start by introducing myself. I’m Garcia Kim. He’s a mixed troll. I know everyone is scared, but there’s no need to be scared. I don’t eat people unless I’m very hungry.”
“……”
“It was a joke, but I guess I did it for nothing.”
As the atmosphere became more gloomy, Garcia felt very sorry.
“ruler! Our principal has something to say every time. Time is the greatest treasure. Shall we start the lecture?”
Garcia swung her wand. Then the students, who were standing in the middle, went to their seats and sat down as if pushed away.
“You are the seeds of sorcerers who came in with the title of Steel. Some of these arrogant or stupid people may have used magic secretly, but most of them probably never did. This lecture is to teach you what magic is and find the magic that suits you best. The magic road is tough and narrow, and you have to walk it alone, but I want to be your compass before you walk it.”
At the gentle words of the troll professor, the faces of the students inside also softened.
‘How many times better do you think the skeleton principal is?’
“ruler. So we’ll have to start with the very basics. What is magic?”
Princess Adenart answered in a calm voice.
“It is the work of a wizard to change the world at his own will.”
“Right. Twisting the world with the will of a wizard. The question is ‘how’. How can we change the world?”
“By the power of mana?”
“Very good. Magical power, mana… borrowing this fundamental power to change the world. Everyone here knows how to feel magic and is conscious of the magic within them.”
Everyone nodded.
Basically, it is a place where only qualified people receive it, so everyone is in a state of awakening to magic.
“But that’s just the beginning. To use magic, you have to go beyond that. It is to summon magical power by one’s will, to weave it delicately, and to create it as a result. Many people say that magic requires spells, moves, and reagents… but what really matters is will. mindthe judge’s own will. You mustn’t forget that. Of course you will need spells and moves. as still very immature. ruler. The story is too long. Are you sleepy? I’ll try it myself once. Take out your staff, and gather your magic.”
woo woo woo-
Magical energy began to spread in the spacious classroom.
Each of the young wizards began to squeeze out the magic within them.
Lee Han also concentrated and began to gather his magical energy into the staff. The magical powers in his body flowed out and pooled in his staff.
“Now, while maintaining that power… you can’t lose focus! Imagine an image of light in that state. The image of the light he thinks. Bright, warm, sparkling. Anything is fine.”
This time, a groaning sound began to come out.
Controlling magical power was close to grabbing and pulling the reins of a wild horse.
If you focus a little bit, it will just hook and scatter.
“I’m screaming… with my thoughts getting stronger and stronger. Anything is fine. light! light! Bright! bright light! Any incantation that comes to mind is fine.”
“Light!”
“Bright light!”
“A light more dazzling than the sun and as beautiful as my glory!”
“Don’t order too long! Memorizing spells that are too long for your level will distract you.”
Concentrate on gathering magic, transforming that magic into one’s will, and finally shouting out a spell to finish it with certainty.
Lee Han seemed to know what magic was.
Of course, it didn’t happen all at once.
pop! Whoops! bang bang!
“Ugh!” “Wow!” “Ah-oh…!”
The moans of young wizards who failed their magic could be heard from all over the place. Professor Troll smiled and swung his wand.
If you failed to cast magic, the accumulated magical energy could lose its owner and run wild, injuring the wizard.
It was the professor’s job to prevent that.
“ruler. Don’t be afraid of failure, don’t panic, that’s the way it is in the beginning. As long as the magic remains in the body, again!”
2nd attempt.
The students groaned again with a popping sound.
Professor Troll laughed inwardly.
It usually took more than a month just to learn this simplest magic called ‘light emission’.
Magic is that difficult.
But the professor had no intention of telling it. It was something the students had to experience with their own bodies.
“ruler! again!”
3rd attempt.
Gradually, students who were exhausted by using all their magical powers began to appear.
Magic consumes an enormous amount of magic power than expected.
More than half of the students sat down with tired faces.
“again!”
4th attempt.
This time almost all the students sat down. There were only two or three who were lucky or had good control.
“again!”
5th attempt.
“again!”
6th attempt.
“again!”
7th attempt.
“Uh… Professor. I’m really sorry to interrupt you, but should I continue…?”
Professor Troll, who continued to shout casually, realized something strange.
Usually, it should have ended in the 4th, no matter how many, the 5th, but one person was standing until the 7th.
