“professor. I’m not fluent in imperial law, but kidnapping is probably illegal.”
“I got permission.”
“Yes??”
Ian was shocked.
I knew the adventurers were crazy, but enough to respond to such an offer…
‘ah. I don’t think so.’
It was not easy for the adventurers who were caught trying to cheat.
Besides, the atmosphere must have been quite daunting since Professor Voladi would not have been kind and kind to him.
‘If you point his knife to your neck and ask a question, that’s not permission, it’s a threat.’
“But if you have permission, why do you put it in a box like this and take it with you?”
“Because if you let the outsiders go their way, you could have an accident.”
“indeed.”
Of course, the only answer was ‘really’, but Lee Han thought differently.
Say that…!
* * * *
thud!
The Blue Dragon Tower students looked at Lee Han as if they were seeing a god who descended into reality.
The cake placed in the center of the common room was high enough to hit the ceiling.
“After the final exams, we all eat together. got it?”
“Three… my God…”
“Sharkan. If anyone touches it, just ask.”
Sharkan bit Gainando’s ankle. Gainando screamed.
“You haven’t touched it! I was just thinking!”
Lee Han, who watched the fluttering Guy Nando, added:
“The one who fails is not given.”
“no…!”
Some students were astonished.
How can such cruel conditions?
“It’s not wrong to fail!”
‘Isn’t that wrong?’
Lee Han ignored the protests of his friends and turned around. Yoner said softly with a surprised expression.
“I thought I brought it for a festival.”
“What festival? oh Phoenix Festival?”
The Empire had several festivals in each season.
Among them, the Phoenix Festival was a festival to offer prayers to the phoenix so that early summer could come properly.
In the past, there was a story that the phoenix boosted the power of the sun and the seasons cycled properly.
‘It’s a nonsensical superstition.’
If that’s true, the phoenix must have been sleeping the last time it snowed at the magic school.
And apart from superstition, the Phoenix Festival was not so important that it had to be taken care of.
Moreover, the final exam period is right after the end of next week.
Under such circumstances, there could be students stupid enough to celebrate the festival…
“…what are you doing?”
“yes? Are you making decorations?”
The students of the Blue Dragon Tower, who were making wreaths by weaving red-painted feathers and chrysanthemums, tilted their heads as if asking why.
Lee Han sighed inwardly.
‘I forgot that these bastards were stupid.’
In fact, even useless things tend to become more interesting when the exam is in front.

Now, only assignments and exams remain.
Even a small phoenix festival would be fun enough for students to fall in love like crazy.
“Wordanaz. wreath here. Wearing a wreath during the festival will make you stronger in the heat.”
‘Thank you.’
“Aren’t you studying?”
“…Gee, I’m going to do it now!”
‘Ouch.’
First of all, I tried to say thank you because I thought of sincerity, but my inner feelings came out the other way.
Lee Han looked at the backs of his friends who were running away with regret.
‘for a moment. These children are now…?!’
After looking around, Lee Han realized a sense of incongruity.
Everyone was sitting at the desk, but few were studying properly.
Asan nibbled a quill on a piece of paper and thought she was doing her homework, so she wore it during the Phoenix Festival.He was drawing decorations, and Neblen was making balls to play with during the Phoenix Festival, not improving artifacts, an enchantment task.
Lee Han looked at the last stronghold, the princess. The princess hurriedly opened her book and placed it on her desk.
“…the principal probably didn’t create the Phoenix Festival.”
“Well, isn’t it?”
Yoner, who was next to him, was bewildered by the absurd conspiracy theories.

No matter how I thought about it, it was unlikely that the Skeleton Principal would have created a festival to be celebrated throughout the Empire.
“Lee Han. When I play, I have to play so I can concentrate a little more.”
Gainando looked up and said. It looked like he was afraid that glancing at Lee Han’s hand would hit him in the back of the head.
“Gainan too. What are you holding now?”
“…Pang, Pang?”
“Is it a task?”
“No… um… Maybe I’ll have something to write about…?”
Gainando rubbed the phoenix pattern drawn on the top and erased it.

Monday of the new week.
Lee Han expected only Blue Dragon Tower students to be particularly stupid, but the reality was a little different.
wobbly-
“Wordanaz! Kick the ball!”
When a leather ball with a phoenix pattern on it flew, Lee Han kicked the ball in the opposite direction.
White Tiger Tower students pounded on the ground and cursed.
“What are you doing!”
“Disrespectfully! Don’t you know it’s a Phoenix Festival?!”
“Study.”
The students were making all sorts of excuses because they wanted to play.
A ball game to commemorate the Phoenix Festival.
Hit the top to celebrate the Phoenix Festival.
A card game to celebrate the Phoenix Festival…
‘Is the card game really a person with no conscience?’
“I put the phoenix card in my deck.”
“……”
“No, I won’t.”
Guy Nando slipped his deck into his pocket when Lee Han glared at him.
The Phoenix Festival is a festival that celebrates by playing with small phoenixes or decorated objects instead of preparing something fancy or grand, so it was a good festival for students to use as an excuse.
＜Basic Magical Personality Education> The skeleton principal who entered the classroom seemed to think so too.
Are you celebrating the Phoenix Festival?
“School, Principal!”
The students who had put the phoenix pieces in the chess looked at the skeleton principal.
But Principal Skeleton said kindly.
You can keep it.
“Jeong, are you really?”
okay. Even if you play like an idiot and fail, it’s you, not me, who enters the punishment room, right?
“……”
The students quietly cleared the chessboard. Principal Skeleton was delighted.
As everyone knows, I didn’t give you any assignments in consideration for you guys. Even if you are left with time rotting.
“no! How busy we are…”
Take off the phoenix decoration and say it. Pathetic bastard
Having spoken his words, the student blushed and removed the phoenix epaulettes from his shoulders.
“We have been quite busy. principal.”
Who dares to see a friend just now?
Principal Skeleton turned his head to find the cheeky speaker. Then, seeing Lee Han, he stopped.
…ruler. therefore. Next week is the exam.
“……”
Even Principal Skeleton could not say that he had time to spare even to Lee Han.
I know you doubt me, but the final exam won’t be that hard.
“under!”
“Puck!”
The skeleton principal’s eyes flashed, and the students who had just snorted hung upside down from the ceiling.
My swearing must be inside. stupid bastards And it’s really not that difficult. Can you tell me in advance?
“What?”
a student full of disbeliefasked in a cold voice.
An official from the Empire will come and test your personality.
“……”
“……”
The students were more perplexed than when their friend hung upside down.
“We didn’t really learn anything about character… principal.”
what a sound Even if you didn’t feel it, it will gradually build up inside you. It would be nice to have a good answer. If you get caught by a bureaucrat, your life will be hard.
‘This is a little scary.’
Even though he had to fear the final exam several times more than other students, it was Lee Han who was still calm.
But I was afraid of that personality test.
Who the hell is coming and asking what?
‘Can I file a complaint against the current state of the school? no. That’s weird. If it was possible to accuse it, it wouldn’t make sense that Principal Skeleton was still in office.’
There is nothing to fear too much.
Principal Skeleton said softly if he noticed the students’ anxiety.
I’ll help you rehearse.
A curtain of darkness was spread in the classroom, and the students’ vision narrowed to the point where they could only see their toes.
One by one forward!
* * * *
It was Lee Han’s turn. Lee Han took a step towards the blue eyes that floated in the dark.

Name your name.
“This is Lee Han.”
Why don’t you tell the family first? Give me 10 points.
“Uh… are the officials actually like that?”
quiet. I ask the question. Have you ever thought about attacking someone while attending a magic school recently?
“……”
Lee Han was speechless.
‘shit. Too many.’
If the skeleton principal has the ability to detect lies, he’ll be caught right away.
“I would be lying if I said no.”
Be honest. I’ll give you 10 more points.
‘Is this right?’
If I confessed that I wanted to attack, I think it should be deducted points…
Why did you learn magic?
“I want to avoid starvation for the rest of my life if I learn it because it is the most useful and versatile study among the many studies in the Empire…”
You call that a word!?
The Skeleton Principal responded as if it was absurd.
Ian was a little perplexed.
“Can I not answer this in front of a bureaucrat?”
It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you’re just trying to kill someone or summoning fragments of a forgotten old evil spirit. What’s the purpose of that ruthless thing!? Just a little bit further and my dream is to be an imperial bureaucrat!
“I think the bureaucracy is good…”
quiet! I hate to hear No matter how hard you try, If you’re flattering like that, even the officials will be embarrassed!
Lee Han grumbled inwardly.
What about the bureaucrats…
Read at noblemtl.com
Next, tell me the magic you are learning and why you chose it… Skip this question.
“……”
Ian was slightly hurt.
Are there any other top students that you particularly hate and hate?
“I don’t have anything.”
Sorry. Had I said that, I would have given it 10 points.
“no…”
After that, several questions arose. What are you going to do with most magic, do you plan to use an evil arcane ritual, if you can change the magic circle on the path to another village with a small number of people when a runaway magic is attacking the village, etc.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t that difficult.
“Isn’t it really difficult?”
right. It’s not difficult if you just hold onto your sane mind.
Principal Skeleton grunted. He looked very dissatisfied. Ian asked as he did not understand.
“Are there any problems?”
I don’t know about savvy people like you, but there are people who say nonsense every year! And when it comes out, it’s all my fault.’ah.’
Ian immediately understood what he meant.
After all, if I ask a question and the answer comes back, ‘I want to burn the whole world, so I learn fire magic’, the emperor will say ‘Call Gonadaltes’.
The students were more innocent than I thought and did not know how to lie.
If there is anyone in your tower who is likely to give you strange answers, be sure to stop them.
“I will try my best. But the headmaster. Isn’t anything more dangerous than that?”
What are you talking about?
“Well. I was afraid that if the bureaucrats heard about what happened during the semester, they would be embarrassed.”
Thanks for your concern. but it’s ok
“?”
The bureaucrats who come are from Einrogarde.
“……”
Lee Han couldn’t help but admire.
You have a good head on the really bad parts!

In recent weeks, Professor Voladi’s lectures have been physically comfortable.
But mentally, it was a little harsher.
After the basic course was over, Professor Voladi, who was going to complete the comprehensive combat magic theory, began to ask what he had learned in other lectures one by one.
“In black magic, poison and curse. In summoning magic, a skeleton. next.”
“Illusion magic heard the structure grasp.”
“I should have learned more from Ogonin-sama.”
“…this. I almost missed it.”
Lee Han cursed the skeleton principal.
