Yi-Han decided to show some consideration for Dolgyu.
"Indeed, this is a matter of honor and justice, so the term 'spy' does not suit. Dolgyu, you are an inside man."
"Uh... what?" Dolgyu was confused by the unfamiliar term. However, he didn't feel too bad about it, sensing that 'inside man' was somehow more noble and dignified than a spy.

Uregor, despite initially scoffing, nods in agreement. He had no intention of criticizing what one nurtures and sells.
"There are no other students who have thought of this before. It's a very creative idea, extremely so," he comments.
"Oh, thank you. This means the business will do well," comes the reply.
"It's not a compliment!"

There was a saying: If you see only mad people around someone, you should suspect that person might be mad too.
This was true for the magic academy as well. If all the professors seemed insane, then even those who mingled with them and appeared sane deserved scrutiny!

Living among the Wardanaz family had made him forget how much the imperial nobles loved to boast and show off.
The nobles of the empire valued honor more than life itself, and even on the brink of bankruptcy, they took pride in lavish meals!

‘I've underestimated them,’ he mused.
Indeed, it was true that the students of the Blue Dragon held affection and a sense of indebtedness towards Yi-Han. However, their fervor wasn't merely because of this. Fundamentally, the Blue Dragon students disliked those from the White Tiger, who were of knightly descent and bore a rough and wild demeanor, quit...

Yi-Han had thought the students of the White Tiger were more broad-minded than this.
As soon as class ended and he was about to leave, three students suddenly blocked his path.
"Wardanaz. Did you think you could win so despicably and just slip away?"
"We'll teach you a lesson so you'll never dare to join the class so shamelessly again."

‘Amazing!’ Professor Ingurdel couldn't help but admire when he saw Yi-Han kick dirt into Dolgyu's face.
‘Do not limit your methods. There is only life and death.’
Nobles, who learned swordsmanship for dignity and sophistication, despised dishonorable means, but for swordsmen who risked their lives in real combat, victory was all that mattere...

Throughout the semester, as they attended lectures and crossed swords with each other, it became clear that there was no benefit in pretending to be something he was not, such as ‘Although I’m from a family of mages, I actually dream of becoming a swordmaster.’
Moreover, given the wariness of the White Tiger students towards Yi-Han, it was necessary...

"It is indeed challenging," he mused.
Controlling the orb with sheer willpower was no ordinary task. Like the student who had been hit by the orb he was controlling earlier, the orb could fly off on its own if one's concentration wavered even slightly. It was an unfamiliar sensation, akin to suddenly having a third arm.
Fortunately, for Yi-Han, he d...

"No, I came to school to learn magic. Don’t you?"
Yi-Han found himself making excuses, under the gaze of Asan, whose eyes were filled with a sense of betrayal.

Silence followed the Lich Principal's praise; no one seemed pleased. Yi-Han thought he heard someone cursing.

Yet, unexpectedly, the Lich Principal's praise was sincere.
Each year, new students entered the dor...

Sweets were said to restore the mind and soul of people. This was indeed true for the jams brought by Professor Uregor. The students, who generously spread strawberry jam, raspberry jam, fig jam, and more on their bread, displayed expressions akin to being intoxicated.

"Is that so, Professor?" Yi-Han did not let his emotions show on his face. Having dealt with eccentric professors more than once, he was not naive enough to be easily swayed.

It wasn't just the mages who could manipulate mana. A swordsman, who had spent his life swinging a sword, had learned to condense mana and overlay it upon his blade. This was the realm of aura!

Originally, those within the Wardanaz family were unaware of the rumors or the image of their own family.

Yi-Han, upon looking at the herb he needed to find, thought to himself, ‘It looks like a mix of a reishi mushroom and ginseng.’ This herb, known as the 'Cleansing Grass,' was noted for its use in making antidotes.

The family knight, Arlong, had consistently taught Yi-Han swordsmanship, and Yi-Han, himself knowledgeable in combat, could recognize it. Yonaire's stance at that moment was that of someone about to strike in anger!

Mana, also known as magic power, was the fuel of all magic. In some tribes of the East, it was referred to as 'Qi.' Scholars, fond of formality, called it ether, while obstinate priests named it holy power. This multifaceted force was essential for changing the world.

Each individual was assigned a surprisingly spacious and comfortable private room. Despite the Skull Principal's reluctance to provide anything else, it seemed they had at least spared the students from losing their personal chambers.

Gainando was momentarily convinced that Yi-Han was joking.
How could a person live on nothing but hard black bread and cold rice balls?
And how could someone wear such a rough and shabby cloak?

In the ensuing days, the hours passed in a blur, too quick to even catch one's breath. When night fell and Yuder arrived at Kishiar's lodging, an involuntary tension swelled within him. However, the man who had insisted on Yuder staying by his side simply smiled as usual.
