Chapter 765

After Sara, exhausted from recounting her entire story, was taken away, Yuder remained seated in his place. He intended to wait for the next person, but from afar, the wary glances of Kurga and Yergin seemed suspicious.

‘Seems they're scared after all.’

In his previous life, those who had witnessed Yuder interrogate with determination had often recoiled in fear. Mostly, these were members of the Cavalry, bound to follow Yuder's orders, so he ...

"That was my intention as well," Kishiar replied, standing up.

"But regarding the investigation into this Aton fellow, might I proceed with that alone first?" he added.

Yuder's eyes hardened slightly. His mind momentarily became cluttered. Though his rationality coldly assessed that there would be no particular issue with Kishiar investigating alone, the heart does not always follow reason.

He impulsively spoke up, "Why? Is it because of wh...

"Earlier, you and Yergin Schiller seemed to be having an interesting conversation. Besides the news about the visitors and the Southerners, was there anything else?"

Kishiar casually asked, handing over a bundle of work to others and preparing to welcome new guests, while perusing some documents.

"The Cavalry might make people flinch with a little effort, but why does our swordmaster, now also the owner of the divine sword, pretend not to know ab...

Fortunately, Yi-Han was spared the title of 'Professor Killer.'

Professor Mortum had quickly recovered from the fall.

“…Cough. You all saw it, right? That was a <Lesser Paralysis Curse>.”

In truth, Professor Mortum's body was still stiff.

He had rapidly activated his mana to expel the curse the moment he fell, but due to the significant amount of it, some effects still lingered.

If other students specializing in dark ...

In the Empire, dark magic inevitably suffered from a poor reputation.

Firstly, its very appearance was somewhat gloomy and dark, not to mention eerie.

Moreover, the spells it involved were ominous and unsettling - curses, undead summoning, dark and poisonous elements, negative energy, and so on.

It was only natural that people found it repulsive.

"All the priests who entered the Immortal Phoenix were faithful and good people, but..."

"Is that possible in a place where people live?"

"Please be quiet during prayers. Anyway, among such people, there are those who have not yet completely abandoned worldly emotions. Emotions like competitiveness and jealousy do not help faith at all."

Last week, a new novice priest who had just joined the Immortal Phoenix made a fatigue recovery potion fo...

Uregor suddenly remembered a story he had heard from Professor Garcia.

"Student Yi-Han has a lot of mana," Garcia had said.

"Is it to such an extent?" Uregor inquired curiously.

"Try making a big circle with your arms," Garcia suggested.

"Wow. That is a considerable level," Uregor acknowledged.

"That much?" he asked, but there was no answer.

He had heard that Yi-Han had a crazy amount of mana, but he didn’t expect it to b...

With a weary neigh, the white horse conveyed its desire for rest. Yi-Han halted in his tracks, pleasantly surprised that the once fiercely combative creature was now seeking communication. “Indeed, rest here and drink some water. I’ll also give you some sugar,” he offered.

Despite its reluctance, the white horse felt an increasing submission to the boy. Its proud lineage, echoing with the blood of ancient wild ancestors, resisted submission. But Y...

The mindset of a true professional thief was on a different level compared to ordinary people.

While the principal and professors were conducting a site inspection, the thief managed to pick the lock and steal items right under their noses.

Inside a glass flask were potions of every conceivable color. Yi-Han could sense the complex and diverse mana emanating from them.

"But what are these potions exactly?"

"I'm not sure?"

"Hmm, I...

For a while, only silence emanated from the next room.

Yi-Han cautiously asked, sensing he might have misspoken, “Have I made some mistake?”

“Oh, no. I was just a bit surprised. A freshman... quite talented, indeed.”

“Well, I got caught, right?”

‘Crazy guy, if you hadn’t been caught there, you’d be running the academy...’ the other thought.

The arrival of the Empire's anti-magic extrimists was no ordinary matt...

Yi-Han carefully tucked the leave pass into his bosom, his actions betraying a cautious fear that someone might snatch it away.

Professor Garcia and the Skull Principal thought simultaneously to themselves, 'No one's going to take it away...'

"Are you feeling alright?"

"Yes."

"Well, you've received your reward, so now it's time for punishment."

Yi-Han looked at the Skull Principal in disbelief.

The explosion of unrefined mana dealt a fatal blow to Garakse, who bore the brunt of it, but it also shocked Yi-Han.

Yi-Han was thrown backward by the violent shake that coursed through his body.

"Ugh...!" The impact was much more intense than when he had taken a direct hit from Arlong's sword strike.

Yi-Han regretted his actions.

‘Did I infuse too much mana?!’

He had poured in his full power, thinking he needed to decisively...

Rare treasures like ancient artifacts were invaluable, not easily obtained. Moreover, after suffering an attack, the artifact lay half-destroyed, visibly fragile. It was evident to anyone that another attack would certainly shatter it.

"Block that scoundrel! Protect the artifact!"

"I hide in the night!"  Amidst the chaos, Yi-Han recited another spell.

With the incantation, Yi-Han vanished into the darkness, causing the attackers to grin...

The figures, clad in the guise of an ordinary traveler, were anything but ordinary. No average traveler would be found blocking the road on a desolate Imperial highway during such a dusky evening.

Beneath their cloaks and overcoats, fierce glints shone from their exposed faces, betraying a brutal intent.

The workers' voices grew louder and more abrasive, "I warn you for the last time! Reveal your identity now!"

Receiving no response, the wor...

It was said that when a person loses one sense, the other senses develop further to compensate. But even with this in mind, the warehouse keeper's senses were astonishingly sharp. He was blind, yet he detected Yi-Han and Ratford.

‘Were his senses auditory? No, we made no sound. Olfactory? But with all this clutter around here? Could it be... an ability to detect mana?’

As Yi-Han pondered whether to confront or flee, the warehouse keeper spoke ...

‘He’s a student of the Black Tortoise, isn’t he?’ Yi-Han observed the other closely, wondering what he might do.

The other was a Rat mixed-blood boy. Short in stature, with a slightly bent back, yet his steps were so silent that not a sound was heard.

Yi-Han suspected that the boy had undergone some special training. As the old knight Arlong had said, one's footsteps often revealed their status. The steps of a knight, a mage, a hunter, a t...

"You've succeeded."

Even though he inwardly cursed the professor, he didn't show it outwardly. That was the mark of a seasoned graduate student.

Yi-Han maintained his composure and bowed his head.

"Thank you."

"There's no need to thank me. You resolved it with your own strength."

Despite the praise, Yi-Han felt a surge of emotion. Professor Boladi had truly launched the orb with sincere intent. Had it hit him directly...

‘Let's calm down. He probably hasn't figured out my true intentions yet.’ Yi-Han composed himself calmly. Even so, it seemed unlikely that the vampire professor could read Yi-Han's inner thoughts.

"By the way, what riddle did the talking oak tree pose?" Bungaegor asked with evident curiosity.

.

"Well, he came up with some strange and peculiar riddles," Yi-Han replied. The shadow riddle was one thing, but the dwarf and candle riddle seemed utterly forced.

"Those talking oak trees do tend to pose nonsensical riddles," Bungaegor nodded in understanding.

The talking oak trees were known for baffling mages with their seemingly plausi...

"I can't just hand over a random horse to a disciple of Uregor," the professor declared.

"...I am truly delighted," responded Yi-Han, struggling to manage his expression.

Even when he was not keen on the professor's kindness, he knew he had to maintain his composure. After all, a grumpy professor could be more fearsome than a common demon.

Bungaegor, walking with heavy steps, stopped in front of a horse. It was a truly beautiful white horse,...

"Ga, Gainando has been taken away!"

Naturally, the students plunged into panic. It was bizarre and terrifying for a monster to fly in broad daylight and abduct one of their friends.

However, Yi-Han strangely felt a surge of calm.

'I must have been influenced quite a bit by this academy.'

Having witnessed countless bizarre situations, he was no longer perturbed by the likes of Gainando's abduction by a fly...

"Of course, that's true. But wearing the robes will make me reflect on my usual lazy and comfortable lifestyle," Yi-Han replied.

Yi-Han found himself unexpectedly asking a question. Indeed, curses, in a way, resembled buff magic. What if there was a curse that reduced one's weight for someone wishing to lose weight? If used well, it could actually be beneficial. A belt cursed with mana absorption would typically make any ordinary mage scream 'Yikes! Get it away from me!' But for Yi-Han, the situation was a bit different.

Yi-Han… His mana was excessively overflowing.

"Why... why multiple religious orders instead of just one?"

The skull principal sensed something unusual and inquired. It was conceivable that one might want to consider the pros and cons of various religious orders before choosing one. But… Strangely enough, the words just uttered by the young scion of the Wardanaz family sounded, although unlikely, like this:

The talking oak tree gazed directly at Yi-Han. The soil in front of Yi-Han's feet stirred, and branches sprouted, intertwining and growing upwards. Before long, the branches had transformed into the shape of a staff.

A mage's artifact, like a magic staff, was akin to an extension of the mage's own limbs. Among them, the staff was considered the most crucial artifact. Sometimes it amplified ...

"Be thankful that those rascals got a dose of sleeping grass instead of poison!" Nillia declared indignantly. After Yi-Han and Yonaire told her what happened, she was furious with the White Tiger students.

The students who entered the magic academy mostly viewed magic not as a means, but as an end in itself. It was rare for them to think, ‘Hey, I'll learn fire creation magic to light fires during camping and water creation magic to drink water for free when I'm thirsty.’ Instead, they aspired to polish their basics, then learn the magic of their choice to explore new realms and gain enlightenment!

Given this, Nillia had little interest in fire creatio...

Calmly, Yi-Han responded, "It seems we've fallen into the principal's trap."
