imperial family. prince. princess.
Usually, things that go into the word ‘Hwang’ were bound to have noble and dignified power.
But in the Empire it was a little different.
The royal family…
It was a lot more than expected.
‘Isn’t the emperor’s children over 100 now?’

No matter how much the imperial family blows away, it should be considered that there is a problem if only the children directly under the emperor are three-digit numbers.
At that time, even if Lee Han sneaked into the Imperial Palace, wouldn’t he know that the emperor was his son?
Just as Lee Han was being punished by having to live his life hard in return for being born later than his brothers, so were the children of the emperor.
If you are not born first…
there was nothing.
In a way, it could be said that he was harsher than Lee Han.
The Wodanaj family still remembered the names of their children and took care of them.
However, the imperial family had to manage their own lives on their own without such interest.
Of course, even if it rots, it is Junchi, and in front of the common people, the bloodline of the imperial family was quite powerful, but…
After all, the ones around here are the children from the most prominent families in the Empire.
They didn’t have to bow down to an unheard of prince.
Right now, Yoner Makein alone would be in a better position than most of the royal family.
But why does Yoner go out like that and go with the prince?
‘…Is he a little stupid?’
Ihan thought that if Yonner had heard, he would have been angry.
Actually, looking around, I saw some boys and girls laughing at Yonaire.
It was a ridicule of the nobleman’s face, why he served the prince.
The pride of the imperial nobility was no less than that of the imperial family.
In fact, when it came to being a great aristocrat, even the emperor could not treat him rudely.
“okay. Okay.”
However, Lee Han accepted Makein’s offer.
‘Nothing bad.’
It was Makekin who was being ridiculed, but Lee Han, who received the offer, did not get ridiculed.
And just because he doesn’t have a prince, he doesn’t need to fight from the first meeting.
Being friends with anyone in the world would help later.
“…thank you! thank god!”
Makein smiled like bright sunlight. When he was so happy, Lee Han was puzzled.
“why?”
“I have already rejected three of my offers.”
“……”
Lee Han should have turned down May Kean’s offer, but he regretted it slightly.
* * * *
The prince, Gainando, was the 97th prince.
There were many brothers and sisters who were born at the same time, so there was a saying that it was actually the 101st, but Gainando strongly insisted that it was the 97th. It was clear to her that she probably didn’t want to go all the way to the third place.
Except for that, Gainando was a fairly immature imperial family.
When he was 15 he was treated like an adult, but not everyone is equally mature.
It was evident that he had not yet realized that the imperial value was not so great at this school.
“Did you hear me? Lee Han?? Did he turn down my offer?”
“okay. okay. I heard.”
“How dare you?”
“Even Gainan doesn’t know how precious you are.”
“What is honor?”
Guy Nando looked at Lee Han as if puzzled.
Lee Han stared at Guy Nando and nodded his head with a gentle smile.
At that moment, Gainando’s evaluation went down by one level in Leehan, but Gainando didn’t notice.
“Honor means high status and preciousness.”
“ah. It suits me.”
“right.”
“Anyway, you turned down my offer and are talking to Adenart! That’s really insulting…!”
Adenart.
GainandoThe student he pointed to, Adenart, was also an imperial family. She was probably the 43rd she was or she was the 44th princess.
‘The atmosphere itself is different.’
Long, shiny silver hair and bright blue eyes. Intelligent and graceful face.
The princess made her surroundings cool just by standing still in silence.
The princess who naturally exudes such a dignified atmosphere had no choice but to be respected by her aristocratic students.
Besides, Adenart is probably…
‘She probably wouldn’t have called someone like Guy Nando.’
Even if the sons of nobles were proud of themselves, they were not rude enough to ignore the fact that the imperial family spoke directly to them.
If Guy Nando had just gone and talked to him and pretended to be friendly, she would have gathered with a lot of people.
“Will you take care of me later?”
Gainando looked at Lee Han and said.
Compared to her peers, Lee Han is tall and her body is stout.
She continued to learn swordsmanship, so it was natural.
She has gathered to become a wizard, but her fists are stronger among boys and girls who haven’t learned a single magic properly.
Of course, Lee Han had no intention of fighting with anyone for the sake of Gai Nando’s pride.
“Kainando.”
“yes?”
“A noble being doesn’t bully other people.”
“It’s not harassment, it’s punishment…”
“anyway. Noble beings don’t. Think carefully.”
“Ugh.”
At Lee Han’s words, Gainando put on a worried expression. When she heard it, she looked a little dignified.
“Then, Lee Han. What do you think you should do?”
“You forgive generously.”
“…other than that?”
“It’s also possible to apply for a duel in person.”
“huh. I have to forgive you.”
Guy Nando made a quick decision whether she didn’t want to duel herself.
Lee Han discovered the strength of her Guy Nando in that figure.
It was just that it was simpler than I thought.
“Wow. you are awesome Breaking Gainando’s stubbornness.”
Yonner spoke with a surprised expression. Lee Han asked curiously.
“Why are you moving with Gainando?”
“It’s a relative. cousin.”
“Isn’t there any way to listen to all of these things? As for the Makein family…”
Before I could ask any more, a loud voice echoed through the hall.
– Well done, you ironheads! You can stop thinking about it now. Because we can talk about it for years to come.
“!”
A voice similar to the one heard from the front door was heard, and a huge skeleton appeared in the middle of the hall.
A skeleton with blazing eyes that scatters tremendous magical power.
‘rich!’
A great wizard who became an undead himself to overcome death.
That was Richie.
Lee Han had only heard rumors, but it was the first time seeing Richie. The other students murmured in wonder.
– Give me one problem. Why do I call you Ironheads?
Aden Art raised his hand. Gainando looked at him like he didn’t like it.
– Tell me.
“…because the symbol of our new freshmen is steel.”
-excellent. Give your dorm 10 points!
“Is there such a thing?”
– Of course not. To become a wizard, learn to spot lies.
Adenart, realizing that she had been deceived, blushed white as she said she liked it.
-okay. The symbol of your first year is steel. Just like the symbol of second grade is bronze. Steel is hard, its quality varies depending on how it is made, and it is a useful object with a variety of uses. Indeed, it is a metal suitable for your first graders.
“Oh oh…”
“indeed.”
The boys and girls gathered at the place were amazed at the words of the Skeleton Principal.
– You’re being deceived again! stupid bastards The reason your symbol is steel is because you guys have nothing in your head. So it’s an iron head.! If you don’t believe it, try knocking. It will sound very nice.
“……”
“……”
The atmosphere on the left became cold in an instant.
There were many people here who had never been subjected to such an insult.
But no one followed.
As such, the presence of the Skeleton Principal was immense.
‘Awesome.’
Ian inhaled and exhaled.
From the time the Skeleton Principal appeared, the magic density around this area rose like crazy, making it difficult to move.
It felt as if I had entered the deep, deep sea.
‘Still… I think I can move. okay. It’s moving somehow.’
As Lee Han wriggled, the headmaster turned his eyes to look at Lee Han.
-…?
Eyes that see strange things.
Lee Han immediately straightened his posture and stood up straight.
He came in to get his diploma and contacts, but he couldn’t be seen by the principal since his freshman year.
-I think I spoke harsh words to the futures of the Empire that I have come a long way from.
The skeleton principal’s voice softened. Some were a little relieved by that, but Lee Han was not deceived.
‘He must be a little crazy.’
It was said that there is something to lose when you become a lich, and it was clear that the Skeleton Principal had lost a few things.
Lee Han remembered his previous life as a graduate student, a professor in the lab next door.
It seems that the professor’s eyes were full of madness just like that skeleton principal…
‘no. I think that lich is better than that professor.’
Thinking like that, Principal Skeleton seemed to be able to deal with it unexpectedly.
-ruler! The best chefs in this academy prepared a dinner for you the day before. It’s not enough, but I hope you enjoy this dinner and relieve the fatigue accumulated from the trip. After eating, warm blankets and beds are waiting for you in the dormitory…
One or two fat boys drooled at those words.
What kind of dinner is it? In the western style of the Empire, well-raised chicken coated in flour, oil, butter, onion, salt, pepper, etc., then boiled in wine, or gratin with plenty of bechamel sauce.
I felt like I could spread it on white bread and eat it just by giving out thick cheese and butter.
Or, it was good to serve fresh fish with gochujang seasoning on it in the eastern style of the Empire and grilled over charcoal.
Among eastern foods, I didn’t eat noodles because they were cheap, but I felt like I could eat them right now because I was hungry because of a long journey.
However, no food was served on the huge table in the hall.
“???”
– You’re being deceived again! These idiots! When should I come to my senses? What’s the alternate wizard going to be?
‘Isn’t that crazy?’
Some of the weak freshmen wept at the Skeleton Principal’s remarks.
-ruler. Now let me tell you the rules. This academy is the cradle of wizards. And the biggest driving force for raising wizards is craving!
A shabby cloak, a shabby staff, and a shabby package appeared from the air along with the horse.
– This is the school uniform you will be wearing.
As soon as those words were finished, black hard bread and frozen rice balls appeared from the air.
– This is the food you will eat.
“You are too much…!”
When someone involuntarily shouted, Principal Skeleton said in an excited voice.
-okay! That’s exactly what I wanted! You think that food doesn’t taste too good? Learn the magic quickly and save food with your own hands! You think those clothes and canes look so trash? Master the magic and get new clothes and wands with your own hands! You can get this academy if you want!
“……”
Ian was shocked.I had only heard rumors that Einroguard was harsh, but I didn’t expect it to be this severe.
In a word, a school where the rule of thumb is to quickly develop your magic skills!
‘Is this okay?’
“huh. It’s okay if you tell me outside and bring things in.”
One of the students, who was in a cheeky posture, mumbled with a tearful expression.
Principal Skeleton exclaimed even more excitedly.
-okay! I wanted that reaction. 1st graders are not allowed to go out! Don’t even think about asking your seniors to get things! You won’t even see the upperclassmen for a while!
“……”
“……”
-dissolution! Ironheads, good luck! You want to be a good wizard!
Lee Han seemed to have heard someone muttering ‘bastard’.
Principal Skeleton didn’t even say anything about it.
The prince, Guy Nando, burst into rage as the headmaster of the skeleton was gone, stomping his feet.
“Does this make sense? How dare you treat people like us so rudely? Lee Han! aren’t you angry Do you think a person could live with the clothes that a beggar would wear and food to eat like a pig?”
“uh? Are you okay?”
“……”
