How to live as a magic school wizard

Chapter 38



038

‘Are you a student at the Black Turtle Tower?’

Lee Han carefully watched what his opponent was doing.

The opponent is a mouse beast boy.It was. He was short and his back was slightly bent, but his footsteps were so quiet that not a single sound was heard.

Lee Han suspected that the opponent had received special training.

As the old knight Allarlong said, footsteps often revealed the identity of the opponent.

A knight’s foot, a wizard’s foot, a hunter’s foot, a thief’s foot…

And those steps were closer to the steps of a thief.

‘Rat beasts are not welcome in the Empire.’

Even if they said that all races in the Empire were equal, it was really difficult to do so.

In reality, there was no choice but to divide the popular race and the unpopular race.

And the rat beasts were the latter.

A race that has always been viewed with suspicion by the people of the Empire because of its many thieves, vagrants, pickpockets and scavengers.

Those were the rat beasts.

‘It’s probably my bias. There is no way that all rat beasts are going to go stealing unconditionally.’

Lee Han thought he was going too far.

Not all rat beasts were trained as thieves.

snap-

“……”

However, the opponent pulled out a crude and crude fake key from his waist and began to turn it hard against the locked door.

The intention was obvious to anyone who could see it.

‘Well, it’s not the time for me to swear at others.’

As Lee Han is now violating school rules and looking for a way out, he could not blame others.

rather…

‘It might be better to cooperate.’

Seeing that he even made a key like that and brought it with him, he wasn’t the first to come out today.

Lee Han cannot be the only student trying to get out of school.

Lee Han approached cautiously.

If the opponent screams in surprise, even Lee Han will be destroyed together.

sh-

Lee Han paused quietly behind the frantically focused Rat Beast boy, then pointed his cane at his neck and whispered in a low voice.

“Hey. If you make a loud noise, you die.”

“…!!”

* * * *

Even before entering the school, Ratford was a professional thief belonging to the Thieves Guild, <White Crow>.

In fact, Ratford couldn’t believe him from the moment he got an offer to attend a magic school.

No matter how talented he is, he’s willing to accept even a thief as a student.

Fortunately, the Black Turtle’s Tower students did not ostracize Ratford.

But Ratford himself could not help but feel a strange sense of alienation.

The boys and girls who were born into wealthy merchant families and Ratford, who practiced stealing while navigating the alleys of the night, had no choice but to be different.

As such, Ratford wanted to show something with his own abilities.

Just like Nelia, a former hunter (of course, Ratford didn’t think there would be another like him), he wants to be recognized by his peers in the tower for his skills!

So Ratford prepared meticulously.

-As it is a large school, there will be kitchens and warehouses. If you find and rob it, you will be able to get plenty of food and various daily necessities to fill your stomach!

As the other students walked through the hallways to the classroom without thinking, Ratford watched the keyhole in the area behind the central staircase.

Investigating the inside of the keyhole with the sense of a fingertip, and then making a simple key on the spot to open the door was a difficult acrobatic feat that even a thief could not do…

Ratford finally succeeded after putting all of his spare time into it.

I thought that there was only glory left, but suddenly it was such a surprise.

‘Who… who…’

It was obvious who the opponent was.

The security guarding this school was obvious.

Professional thieves have always been prepared for situations like this.

Ratford carefully raises his hands over his shoulders, then as servile as he can.said.

“Whenever, don’t hit me. I will surrender.”

Even for the same thief, the number of times the falcons were hit was different between the one who caught fire when caught and the one who admittedly admits it.

If you’ve already been caught, admitting it would be a better option in some ways.

“Shh. I also sneaked out like you.”

“…?!”

Then Ratford looked back.

A strong boy in a priest’s uniform was looking around, removing his wand from Ratford’s neck.

‘Were you the same freshman!?’

Ratford was amazing.

He threatened him so brutally that he thought that Ratford was a security guard.

No, the same freshman threatens to live like ‘If you make a loud noise, you will die’…

“What is this…”

“Because I’m going to lower my voice.”

“who are you?”

Even by asking, Ratford could somehow guess who his opponent was.

His tall and solid physique, and the skill of approaching him like this and handling his staff like a weapon.

One of the students from the White Tiger Tower was evident.

‘I don’t know how he got the priest’s uniform, but he’s got his head spinning a bit, isn’t he?’

If he walked around in a priest’s uniform, he was bound to be less suspicious.

A former knight with a lump of muscle up to his head would show such wits.

“The Blue Dragon Tower, Ihan Wodanaj.”

“……”

Ratford opened his mouth in astonishment.

* * * *

Ratford accepted the situation faster than expected.

He actually wasn’t quite convinced he was.

‘What the hell is this night from the Wodanaj family… No, how about the priest’s uniform…’

However, since the situation is so urgent right now, I decided to just accept it and move on.

More than anything, the proposal made by a boy from the Wodanaj family was even more shocking.

“Would you like to move together?”

“No matter what, a team of two is more efficient. Wouldn’t it be better for you to move together rather than move alone?”

“…can’t you see who I am?”

Ratford asked absurdly. At that question, Lee Han paused.

“Could you be the principal’s son?”

“……”

Of course, he wasn’t the principal’s son.

Ratford was absurd.

If he had eyes, he could tell that Ratford was of rat beast descent.

There in the middle of the night like this, he clicked a fake key and tried to open the door.

If he had a head, he had to know, ‘Oh, he’s a thief!’

“You look like a thief! Does a high-ranking person from the Wodanaj family want to go out with a thief like me?”

“hey. What do you think I am doing now?”

“……”

At Lee Han’s question, Ratford became a honey-eaten dumbass.

…I know?

“You want to move together?”

“okay. Were you looking for a grocery store? So am I.”

“!”

Ratford was once startled, then came to his senses and asked.

“Are you really from the Wodanaj family?”

Ratford looked suspiciously.

No matter what you think…

“Are you going to move together? Or will I take you down and move on my own?”

“Jin, calm down. tell me to calm down Let’s move together. Two is better than one.”

Ratford hurriedly waved his hand as Lee Han’s wand was thrust in menacingly.

Not knowing anything else, the fact that he couldn’t beat his opponent when they faced each other was definitely felt.

“therefore. Did you prepare the key?”

“okay.”

“Is it open?”

“Not open. Originally, it should have been opened, but it seems to be protected by magic.”

Ratford nervously poked the keyhole.

If it was being protected by magic, even Ratford had no way to open it.

I’m completely naked here in case there is any thief’s treasure…

shudder!

“?”

Lee Han’sA key flew out of his pocket and fell straight into the keyhole.

Then he turned around and opened the door.

“???”

“Uh, where am I the key?”

“A key stolen from the principal’s office.”

“Nong… are you kidding me?”

“no. It’s true.”

The last time I stayed with Asan and cleaned up, I not only learned magic, but also had a key with me.

I thought it was a key, but was it the key to the area behind the central vestibule?

‘…I’ll have to be careful.’

If the key was left behind by the principal, he could never be vigilant.

Lee Han firmly vowed not to be vigilant about this good fortune.

Passing through an empty banquet hall without a single person, through a large hall, through a few closed doors…

“for a moment.”

Ratford suddenly fell to the floor.

“I think there is someone in the basement? I hear a sound.”

“…!”

At that moment, Lee Han seemed to know where the workers were coming in.

‘It’s underground!’

If they went to and from the main gate or wall passage on the ground, they could not only catch the eyes of the students, but they had no choice but to use it.

On the other hand, there was no easy way for students to find out when they entered and exited the underground passage.

Somehow, I thought it was strange that the students didn’t even see the shadow of the worker while walking around like that…

‘Why is this guy’s school doing that?’

“It’s clear that you’re talking in the basement warehouse. Find the way down to the basement!”

“Wow, really…”

Ratford hurriedly began to move at Lee Han’s words.

Fortunately, the stairs leading to the basement appeared in front of them not long after.

profit-

There was only one stair down, but the atmosphere was different.

From above, the moonlight still came through the windows, but there was nothing but cool darkness.

Lee Han pondered whether to bring the light.

However, Lee Han’s instinct prevented him from doing that.

Above all, the fact that the key in the principal’s office opened the door raised Lee Han’s alertness.

‘If it’s the character of the principal I’ve seen so far, it wouldn’t be strange to set up some traps in a place like this.’

Ratford rustled next to him. Ian said softly.

“Don’t turn on the lights.”

“…?”

“Someone might be waiting.”

“!”

Ratford was startled by the words of this Wodanaj boy.

It was definitely an unknown place that didn’t know what was going on here. Because of unfamiliarity and nervousness, he unwittingly tried to light a fire.

If Lee Han hadn’t told him, he would have made a mistake.

‘…No, but what is it?’

Ratford had heard the rumors of a boy from the Wodanaj family several times inside the Black Turtle Tower.

– You said there was no blood or tears? You must already be holding the Blue Dragon Tower with charisma.

– Neither the prince nor the princess can breathe in front of the Wodanaj family.

-Last time I saw it in a magic class, I succeeded at once when others failed no matter how many times.

-A thunderbird attacked me in the mount class, and they subdued it with magic. can you believe that?

At first I thought it was an exaggerated rumor.

It’s the same freshman, isn’t it too harsh?

But seeing this made Ratford think that the rumors might not be an exaggeration.

The sense of intimidation it exudes is no joke!

hook!

“!”

A lamp flickered in the distance, and the surroundings became brighter.

Lee Han and Ratford couldn’t breathe much and bowed their posture.

I didn’t realize it when it was dark, but this whole underground space was like a huge warehouse.

Shelves and tables were lined up, and all sorts of things crammed into them.

The warehouse keeper slowly took the lamp and began to walk. Thanks to the silence that even the sound of falling needles can be heardThe mumble of the warehouse keeper could be heard vividly.

“Cheese… eight. Confirm. Maple syrup… 5 bottles. Confirm. White paper… 22 sheets. Confirm. Young Eunchim (靈銀鍼)… 3 pieces. Confirm.”

‘I’m memorizing all the numbers!’

“Alarm magic has weakened. I have to walk again.”

I could feel the warehouse keeper casting magic on things along with the magic wave.

Lee Han felt a chill in his spine.

There’s alarm magic on everything.

If you touched an object without knowing this, you would have been dragged to the punishment room.

“who are you?”

“!”

Their hearts sank.

The warehouse keeper turned his head to the exact direction where they were and opened his mouth.

‘Can’t you see it from an angle?’

Lee Han tried to keep his composure in the midst of confusion.

How did the other person find out? Is he trying to float? Wouldn’t it be too late to use the invisibility magic now?

“…!”

Lee Han was startled to see the face of the warehousekeeper approaching slowly.

Surprisingly, the warehouse keeper was a blind man with his eyes closed with bandages.
