Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 803
Chapter 803:
The people who were talking about how much imperial gold coins to send periodically were surprised by Intarendals’ bold proposal.
Originally, this type of sponsorship was not something that could simply be sent once and ended, but it had to be sent consistently while the research was in progress, so it required quite a bit of commitment.
Moreover, as investors who are prepared for high risk and high return may not know, many of the people who visit Einrogard during this club week are sponsors who came purely for the honor.
As such, they did not get angry or show competition even when someone they met for the first time declared, ‘I will take care of it alone.’
Rather, he paid tribute instead.
“It’s surprising that there was still someone in the empire who knew how to use gold coins like this!”
“After all, honorable people come to honorable magic schools.”
Clap clap clap –
As people began to clap, Intarendals showed respect according to the old custom.
It was a little different from the formalities these days, but people thought they were from an area they didn’t know well and moved on.
“Then I will leave this sponsorship to you.”
“Let us support other students!”
“thank you. everyone!”
Falkrius hid his joy and wiped his nose.
I thought my junior was an outstanding genius, but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent.
To steal this much gold from just one person.
Thanks to this, other students in the kitchen club also benefited from the trickle-down effect!
“Wardanaz. thanks!”
“This amazing guy!”
“Wait a minute, where did Wardanaz go?”
The seniors in the kitchen club were puzzled as they tried to give Wardanaz a rinse.
Wardanaz, who had been next to him just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen.
Where did they go?
“Why are you doing that?”
Intarendals approached and asked a question.
It wasn’t a question full of hostility or suspicion, but Falkrius felt pressured by the attitude that showed the culture and dignity unique to nobles.
In the first place, people like this are harder to deceive and deal with.
No matter how bold Falkrius was, his palms began to sweat when he thought that his junior’s donation could be lost due to a single mistake in his words.
“I think something happened to my junior for a moment. “I’ll call you right away!”
“Is that even possible? I’ll leave the gold coin here. In the name of the Dalkad family, I, Intarendals, give you gold coins…”
Falkrius almost cried a little at the honorable display of sponsoring without caring whether the opponent was present or not.
‘Wardanaz… you bastard. ‘Where on earth did you get such a sponsor?’
If he was in front of me, I would have patted him on the back about 10 times with joy.
“…ruler. That’s it. “I’m sorry to bother you.”
“Absolutely not.”
“More than that, what is boiling in this pot? “It smells delicious?”
“Wait a minute! That’s our meal! “Here, have a guest meal!”
Falkrius was surprised and tried to stop Intarendals.
Since there were external guests coming, the kitchen club naturally prepared a meal to serve.
Meals were made by selecting only the best ingredients from the food warehouse.
White soft bread, pea soup and crayfish soup. Whole lamb roast using garlic, chili oil and spices. Apricot pudding and cheese soufflé.
Of course, there were not only meals for guests. Since kitchen club members also had to wait to eat, they also made meals for members.
A stew made with all the ingredients left over from preparing a meal for guests.
This was it. Members used to fill it with hard bread or rice.
But now, from what everyone could see, a guest of noble birth was approaching the members-only meal!
“It’s a nostalgic taste. Isn’t it great? very good. “It’s not a kitchen club for nothing!”
However, after tasting the Intarendals in a bowl, they received very positive reviews.
“……”
“…??”
The Kitchen Club members looked at each other in bewilderment.
Could it be that some strange alchemy occurred unbeknownst to them, transforming the tasteless stew into something else?
Otherwise, there’s no way you could say that it’s delicious…

“Gasp, gasp.”
Lee Han took a deep breath.
This was because he cast an invisibility spell and strengthened his body with magic, then sprinted at full speed without any rest.
“nice to meet. Wardanaz. “Are you here to see the guests?”
The leader of the library club, Ileg of the Sisenza Church, saw Lee Han and welcomed him warmly.
Upon seeing the spectacled bear senior, Lee Han realized that he had arrived at the library club area.
‘I was so busy running away that I couldn’t even check the direction…’
“Hello. Senior Ileg. Is the library club also welcoming guests?”
“That’s the way it is.”
‘what?’
The atmosphere of the library club was different from the kitchen club earlier.
It certainly seemed like outside guests had visited, but the atmosphere was…
“This book, 〈The Perfect Way to Raise Royal Thrushes〉! “This book is mine!”
“Can’t you back out right now? “I’ve been looking for this book for over ten years.”
“Our family has been looking for this book since my grandfather! “You can find it at the Dawn Library!”
“Are you saying that? “You go to the Dawn Library!”
“Everyone, please calm down!”
Customers who were fascinated by books found rare editions and were competing fiercely to get their hands on them.
Lee Han asked in confusion.
“Is it okay to do this?”
“of course. “I’m doing this because everyone loves books.”
Here, like in the kitchen club, there was no need to serve meals or introduce oneself.
All it took was a few rare books brought by members. Patrons threw punches, shouted and fought.
After a while.
When the commotion calmed down, the patrons regained their composure and returned to normal life.
“after. “It was an honorable fight.”
“Please lend me ‘The Perfect Way to Raise Royal Thrush’ later.”
“really. Aren’t you a Sevius student? “Are things going well with the object container and cloak you mentioned last time?”
“……”
Lee Han was taken aback by the sight of the people who had been fighting so obscenely just now acting with dignity as if nothing had happened.
However, the library club members remained calm as if it was no big deal. I have already seen this scene several times.
No matter how cultured a person is from a noble family, if he or she sees a rare book, his or her eyes will turn upside down.
“Who is this student?”
“hello. “I am Lee Han of the Wardanaz family…”
“Ah. You are Ihan of the Wardanaz family. The second-year former head of the school who has already been recognized by external wizards! You said that you have been recognized by Yoanen and Master Puyo of the Makin family, and that you are already talking about your research with your 5th grade seniors, right? “No one but Einroguard would have believed that a second-year student had completed the 5-circle spell.”
“…Are there any communication artifacts among Einrogard guests?”
Lee Han was taken aback when he heard the rumor spreading so systematically and accurately.
I never thought I would say exactly what the Kitchen Club guests said earlier.
“You can trust a student like this. “I will support you.”
“I will also support you.”
“Well, I heard that a rock drake is appearing in the Einrogard library these days. I’m worried that a second-year student will be able to break through.”
“So you’re not going to do it?”
“That’s not it. It’s just that I’m worried. “I guess we can’t ignore experience.”
Lee Han listened to the guests’ conversation with a confused expression.
Sevius asked in a low voice from next to him.
“Didn’t you say you caught Rock Drake?”
“Where did you get such a rumor?”
“Your friends said so.”
“……”
While I was confused, I heard a bang from behind.
It was a similar banging sound to the one I heard earlier.
A heavy object rises and the sound of gold coins jingling can be heard inside…
Lee Han suddenly gets goosebumps.
no way?
“Is this where Ihan of the Wardanaz family is?”
“That’s right, but who are you?”
“I alone am enough to support Ihan of the Wardanaz family! “The people gathered here help other wizards.”
“…!”
Surprisingly, Interendals has come back.
Even though I used gold coins like that earlier!
‘no. How many gold coins did that person bring?’
Lee Han couldn’t believe it.
How much of the Dalkad family’s assets had to be siphoned off to make something like that possible?
The guests who came first did not notice Intarendals’ evil identity and simply paid respect to him.
“I never thought there would be such an honorable person in the empire!”
“After all, all old book collectors are honorable people.”
“You can give away ‘The Perfect Way to Raise Royal Chickadees’!”
“That’s a common book, man.”
When imperial gold coins are distributed in large quantities, a warm atmosphere is bound to be created.
The library club members were very happy with the appearance of the big man and looked for their junior.
“Wardanaz. Your passion for attending all schools has earned you gold coins like this… Wardanaz? Wodanaz?”
“Where did Wardanaz go?”
* * *
Lee Han was scared and ran away.
I knew that the crazy alter ego of the skeleton principal was a dangerous being, but I had no idea that it would tighten Lee Han like this.
As expected, the evil shown by the ancient great wizard was something that Lee Han could not have dared to predict or imagine.
“Junior! “I knew you would come too!”
Carnella, who was combing the horses’ manes, spotted Lee Han and motioned to him.
As a junior who raises griffons and basilisks, I thought I would visit the ranch on a day like today.
Besides, again…
“…Hello. Seniors.”
“okay. How are the animals doing? “There are a lot of people who want to see the animals you raise.”
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
“Of course I have to endure that. Animals that are naturally attractive are bound to be dangerous.”
The baby basilisk hissed as if satisfied with those words.
Lee Han looked at the inside of the sleeve with anxious eyes.
“I understand for now. Um…what can I help you with?”
Although he arrived unexpectedly, Lee Han was also a member of the Gyeokgu Club.
Since I already received support from the Imperial Gyeokgu Association for rare animals, I wanted to help the Gyeokgu Club if I had to help with its work.
But Carnella shook her head and said:
“You don’t have to help.”
“yes? “Are you sure you don’t need to help?”
“uh. “You don’t have to help me.”
“The Gryphon is a hard-working guy that takes care of itself, but…”
The baby basilisk hissed, full of puzzlement.
“…Of course, the basilisk takes care of itself and doesn’t need to be messed with.”
-that’s right!
“Anyway, even if they aren’t my animals, aren’t there a lot of strange or rare animals in the Gyeokgu Club?”
Right now, Carnella was raising Cerberus.
In this way, although the animals raised by Lee Han require relatively little work, many of the animals raised by his seniors require a lot of work.
Even more caution was needed in situations where many guests came from outside.
Even a guy who would normally behave docilely could lose his temper when he saw strangers.
“uh. yes. Actually, it would be nice if you could help. But you don’t have to help. “Youngjae, you have already fulfilled your role.”
“??”
Lee Han was puzzled because he did not understand what was being said.
Is this a story about a basilisk and a griffon?
But something felt different. It felt like we were talking about something else. like…
“…!”
Lee Han asked, feeling goosebumps running down his spine.
“Is it possible that someone with a suspiciously large amount of gold came and sponsored me before I came?”
“huh? that’s right. “How did you know? Did you know someone?”
