Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy - Chapter 432

Chapter 432

Chapter 432

A leaky bowl inside is bound to leak outside as well.

A mage who stole village livestock for transformation magic experiments and borrowed city guild property for alchemy was likely to have accumulated assets in various ways even when he was in Einroguard.

'I covet that legacy.'

While Yi-Han was inwardly harboring such sinister thoughts and making his eyes shine, the senior looked around at the juniors and said.

"You juniors are still 1st years, right? Most of you probably don't know about night walks or outings."

"No... um... no. Keep talking."

The skull principal was about to say 'The 1st years of your time and the 1st years of this time are quite different' but stopped.

"That time is very good. Dear juniors. Once you break a rule, you break it a second time, and when you break it a second time, you break it a third time... You must not ignore the school rules! Sometimes friends who ignore the school rules may look cool, but that's a misconception."

The juniors reacted fiercely to the senior's sincere sermon.

"What is he saying? Is that really a senior?"

"He's a puppet bought by the principal!"

"After graduating and living a luxurious life, he can't remember his own 1st year days!"

"Boo! Get lost! The principal's puppet!"VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

Telling the 1st year juniors, whose temperament had become sharp from eating only rough and hard food, to 'follow the school rules' didn't work.

Rather, it only had the opposite effect.

"Dear juniors! Calm down! You may not believe what I'm saying now, but as time passes..."

"Get lost! Get lost!"

Gainando excitedly crumpled up a wad of paper and threw it.

The skull principal looked at him as if he was pathetic.

'What a dimwit.'

Moreover, it wasn't even something the skull principal had ordered. The skull principal didn't forbid students' deviations.

Of course, he did get angry when students occasionally raided even the skull principal's warehouse, but...

Even considering that, such a creepy spirit of self-discipline was the source of improving magic skills.

'It's enough if they don't do it outside the academy. Blaming the academy when they can't restrain themselves.'

"Dear juniors! Dear juniors! Please listen to me!"

"Boo! Get lost!"

"My words..."

"Get lost! Get lost!"

Bang!

The senior tapped the floor with his staff.

Then, Gainando's coat transformed into dozens of birds and began to peck at Gainando like crazy.

"Ahh! Ahhh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"..."

The friends who were booing immediately shut their mouths at the sight of Gainando.

No matter how weak he looked, the senior in front of them was also a monster who had gone through the hell called Einroguard.

—

The senior belatedly came to his senses and released Gainando, but the atmosphere had already turned chilly.

"...Principal. Is this okay?"

"Who knows. How would I know?"

At the skull principal's cold tone, the senior broke out in a cold sweat.

As he was dragged here as a price for causing trouble outside, this mage from Einroguard had to do a job befitting of that.

-Participate in the lecture. Clearly teach the ironheads why they shouldn't cause trouble outside.-

-Principal! Even so, I'm a mage who graduated from Einroguard...-

-Then stay locked up in the punishment room.-

-...Thank you so much for entrusting me with such a task!-

The senior was desperate as he had received an offer to reduce his imprisonment period in consideration of his merits if he did well in the lecture.

However, the atmosphere of the 1st years was chilly.

Although they no longer booed out of fear, their eyes were filled with distrust.

"...Dear juniors. I got a little excited just now. But I'm really not a dangerous person."

"..."

Gainando sobbed and plucked out feathers. His friends glared at the senior.

"...Does anyone have any questions? Ask me anything."

"I have one. Senior."

In a situation where no one raised their hand, only Yi-Han raised his hand alone.

The senior was delighted at the sight.

"Ask away!"

"It seems you committed a crime and got caught, so where were you imprisoned?"

"Uh... in the Einroguard punishment room. Juniors may not know, but here in Einroguard, there is a punishment room..."

"What deal? Junior. I don't think you have anything to give me."

"Senior. You're going back to the punishment room, aren't you?"

"Are you provoking me now?"

"No. Just tell me the location. I'll bring you food."

"...!"

The senior was amazed for the first time in a long time.

To think a mere 1st year could propose a deal so skillfully.

Certainly, for someone who had to reflect in the punishment room for a long time, the junior's proposal was indeed tempting.

However...

"How can I trust that? If you're a 1st year, you'll lack food for yourself to eat. And above all, you won't be able to break through the punishment room and come."

"It doesn't matter. Senior. When I come, you can tell me then. Even if I fail, there's no loss for you."

"Are you... really a 1st year?"

The senior was genuinely surprised.

Judging from his actions, he seemed like a 4th year or above no matter how you looked at it...

"Okay. Take it."

Thinking there was nothing to lose, the senior handed over a note. In a short time, letters were engraved with magic.

"The letters will be visible if you put it in a dark place. Find me using that."

"What are you two chattering about so much?"

When the skull principal, who sensed something suspicious, approached, the senior and Yi-Han were taken aback.

They had aroused suspicion because the conversation had gotten too long.

"Uh... I was teaching him because he asked about magic."

"Magic?"

'Damn it!'

The senior gritted his teeth.

Perhaps because it had been a while since he graduated, his lying skills seemed to have gotten rusty.

What a terrible lie.

Who would believe that he was teaching such transformation magic to a 1st year student?

"You too? You at least have discerning eyes... It's not time to teach magic, so teach appropriately."

"??"

The senior couldn't believe his ears.

However, even more surprising words had not even begun.

"You were doing other things during lecture time, so as a price, you must learn at least one. I'll check after it's over," the skull principal addressed Yi-han this time.

"That's impossible!"

"What nonsense are you saying about it being impossible? You can learn one. Learn it."

"????"

The senior became confused, not knowing what kind of conversation was going on.

—

"Wa, waterproof cloths at this price? Really?"

"...Then don't buy it, you bastard."

"Ah, no... If it's cheap, I'm grateful. Thank you. Wardanaz."

The White Tiger Tower student bowed his head and purchased the cloth.

Yi-Han sighed at the sight.

'Damn it. I also want to make huge profits like the Black Tortoise Tower guys.'

The Black Tortoise Tower friends, who usually stockpiled a lot of materials, were excitedly selling in anticipation of the flood.

Other tower students had to purchase various lumber, leather, and reagents while using up their stockpiled food.

However, Yi-Han couldn't raise the price like that.

Because the priests were next to him.

The sight of the priests looking at Yi-Han with sparkling eyes.

In front of them, he absolutely couldn't say things like 'How many times will a flood come, we have to make a lot of money at this time.'

"What did Wardanaz say?"

"He said he's not raising the price?"

"What? I was sure he would raise it... Last exam period, he doubled the price of coffee powder, saying that free market price formation develops Einroguard's economy."

"But what's this market... price... economy thing?"

"I don't know either. It must be the Wardanaz family's vision."

"That Wardanaz guy is from a high noble family. It must be something that goes against his own dignity to make money from this crisis."

"Huh. We have no choice but to acknowledge that..."

"Hey. If you're done buying, get lost."

Annoyed, Yi-Han shot a water orb to chase away the other tower students.
