Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy Chapter 925

Chapter 925

-What is this? If you're trying to deceive me now, stop it! It won't work!-

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:This is really driving me crazy.

Gonadaltes:Wait. Everyone calm down.

Yi-Han first calmed the confused members.

They couldn't kick the newcomer out until Baqwantallana arrived anyway. It was better to coax the other party and find out how they got in.

Eaktus:Aha! Finally showing your true colors!

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:To be calm in this situation. As expected, even from the alias...

Gonadaltes:Can I perhaps cancel the request I received?

When Yi-Han became serious, Beaver-Penguin-Fox flinched.

Come to think of it, she was the one in need now, not the other party.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:I meant it's amazing to be calm even in this situation.

Eaktus:Wow. I hate to say this, but that's quite ugly.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Shut up.

Gonadaltes:Now, everyone be quiet. New Baldurguard mage. This is a secret club where imperial magic school students have dignified conversations.

-Wow!-

The Baldurguard student let out an exclamation, apparently startled by Yi-Han's words.

A secret club where imperial magic school students gather?

It was a place befitting mages that he had never seen in his life.

Though Baldurguard was a good place, honestly, it wasn't a place befitting mages.

-It's an honor to have entered such a place! How many Baldurguard students are here?-

Gonadaltes:It's not befitting of mages to pry into each other's identities.

-Ah. I'm sorry!-

Eaktus and Beaver-Penguin-Fox were inwardly dumbfounded.

What on earth was this nonsensical lie?

'No... It's not completely a lie...'

Come to think of it, even if it was a club where Einroguard students gathered, it could be called a club where imperial magic school students gathered.

Even more so now that a Baldurguard student had joined.

'It might be better to deceive him like this and then kick him out.'

Rather than letting him know this was a place where only Einroguard mages gathered...

-Then are the aliases in front of each name to hide identities?-

Gonadaltes:That's right.

-What wonderful aliases!-

Gonadaltes:Thank you for the compliment.

Eaktus:......

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:......

The other existing members closed their eyes tightly at the naive outsider's praise.

This is why new members were...!

Gonadaltes:So... how did you get in? You'd need an artifact to enter.

-I have a blackboard I received from Senior Zandanni... Ah. If you're wondering who Senior Zandanni is...-

Eaktus:Not curious.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:No one asked.

'Everyone's so cold.'

However, despite the cold responses, the newly entered Baldurguard student was very excited, not minding at all.

-I see. You're all acting like this to hide your identities and maintain secrecy! It's so cool!-

Gonadaltes:Well. It's just basic.

Eaktus:Wow. You really...

Gonadaltes:What?

Eaktus:Nothing...

Yi-Han fell into thought.

Zandanni was a Baldurguard student Yi-Han knew too. Hadn't they been involved before because of the bag artifact incident?

'Perhaps he found out the artifact's value and gifted it to his junior?'

Though it didn't seem likely, Yi-Han asked just in case.

Gonadaltes:Then did that senior gift you the blackboard to join this club?

-Ah. No. The senior just gave it to me to sell. There's a donation event, and I was originally going to sell some usable furniture. We bought and brought in new ebony furniture this time, so there's no space to put a display cabinet in the reception room...-

"..."

The silence of the Sentinel club was rather frightening.

Yi-Han could feel the Einroguard students' boiling hatred through the paper.

Gonadaltes:...I'll say it again, don't forget to hide your identity.

-Ah. Yes! I understand!-

The moment this Baldurguard student's identity was revealed, they would seriously have to worry about an attack.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:So you just happened to get that blackboard?

-Yes. The senior said it was something he inherited from an even higher senior. Senior Ipeldrem...-

Eaktus:Not curious.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:No one asked.

-Aha! I understand!-

'What?'

Unlike the other members' cold treatment, Yi-Han became more and more interested.

Ipeldrem was the creator of the <Backpack of Six Directions> Yi-Han had.

He was also a mage who had achieved the feat of collaborating with an Einroguard student despite being from Baldurguard.

It was quite interesting that such a person had a blackboard.

'Perhaps he used it to contact Einroguard students? Then that Einroguard student might have been a member of this club too.'

-Then do you have anything to ask me?-

The other party seemed very happy to have entered this dignified mage club, remaining steadfast no matter how coldly they were treated.

Eaktus:Perhaps which family are you from? Can you tell us where to visit during the break?

-Ah! You're testing me, right! I understand. It's a secret!-

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Do you perhaps have some Snow Fragrance powder? I need it.

Snow Fragrance powder was a quite expensive and rare ingredient used as a reagent to control surrounding moisture.

The other members watched, naturally expecting the other party to refuse.

-I have some. I bought a whole box last time. I can give you as much as you need if you want!-

"..."

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Wait. Let's talk separately.

Eaktus:Hey! You can't deceive and exploit a new member!

-What are you saying? I just want to give it as a gift.-

There was one advantage of Baldurguard students that Yi-Han hadn't thought of.

It was the enormous wealth they could freely use outside.

The members who had been desperately looking for Baqwantallana until just now rushed forward to curry favor with the newcomer.

'Oops. This isn't the time for me either.'

Yi-Han quickly grabbed his quill.

At this point, he had to get rid of other competitors and make the newcomer trust him. Yi-Han loaded up gossip about Eaktus and Beaver-Penguin-Fox.

Baqwantallana:...What on earth is going on here?

Immortal:What's the situation, everyone? Can someone explain??

The members who arrived late were perplexed by the chaotic club situation.

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:It's nothing.

Gonadaltes:Right. You two must be busy, so go do your own work.

Baqwantallana:A Baldurguard student entered? This... this is quite unexpected.

Immortal:Wait! We can't deceive the Baldurguard student! Everyone stop!!

-I just want to give gifts...-

Immortal:As equal mages, there's no reason to give gifts! Unless it's a fair exchange! Stop right now! If you don't stop, I'll block this place!

Baqwantallana:What are you saying, Immortal? You don't have management authority over this club...

Before the sentence could finish, the paper turned black as if ink had been poured on it, rejecting and bouncing off any writing.

The members tried to control their artifacts in confusion, but no means worked.

Immortal:See? Stop!

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:What is this? What kind of magic is this?

Baqwantallana:How did you interfere??

Immortal:If you're curious, find out yourself. I won't tolerate extorting from a new member by deceiving them!

When control returned, Immortal warned firmly.

-Please don't fight because of me! Alright. I won't give gifts.-

'Oh no!'

Though invisible, it seemed like he could hear the other members' sighs.

And the sound of Immortal's popularity dropping for interfering with this...

'It seems like it can't go any lower now. More importantly, who on earth is this? An upperclassman I don't know?'

The other members were upperclassmen too, but even they couldn't guess this magic interference.

It was either a senior Yi-Han didn't know or...

'It can't be a professor. No matter what, there shouldn't be a professor free enough to enter here.'

Baqwantallana:Alright. We'll figure that out ourselves later. That's not what's important now.

-Is something wrong?-

Baqwantallana:It's a matter related to you. We need to vote on whether to accept the new member or not.

Though Baqwantallana played the role of administrator for this club, they didn't act arbitrarily.

Even if the new member was a Baldurguard student, it would be decided by majority vote.

Whether this member could keep secrets, act honorably, not become the skull principal's pawn...

-Please trust me! I swear on my family name and my own name that I'll keep secrets. I'll maintain honor too!-

Beaver-Penguin-Fox:Agree.

Immortal:I agree too.

Gonadaltes:Then I also...

Baqwantallana:Some seem to be for personal greed but... rules are rules. Alright. Let's welcome the new member.

-Wow! Thank you so much!!!-

Baqwantallana:Then let's decide on an alias.

Wardanaz:How about this? The one I respect...

Gonadaltes:That's garbage. How about a different alias?

Eaktus:Hey. Do you have the right to criticize someone else's alias?

  *

'Phew. That's a relief.'

Yi-Han let out a sigh of relief as he closed the book.

Fortunately, he had been able to break the other's stubbornness and recommend the new alias <Ipeldrem>.

Wardanaz:Garbage! You don't even know! It's a mage at Einroguard...

Gonadaltes:He's not that great a mage. And if you're a Baldurguard student, you should use a Baldurguard name. How about Ipeldrem?

Ipeldrem:...Alright. I'll concede. But you, Gonadaltes, are really a rude person!

...Though he had earned some dislike from the new member in exchange...

Originally, Immortal played the role of the unpopular member in the club, so Yi-Han was a bit worried.

'I hope they don't exclude only me when handing out gifts later.'

Having dealt with the urgent matter, Yi-Han moved his steps to the Dark Shadow Hall.

With exams over, it was time to manage the graveyard in the back. The dark magic school students were already gathered, swinging shovels.

"Wardanaz, you're here."

"Yes. Should I till this soil?"

"Yeah. But be careful. There's been noise from below for a while."

The soil dark mages liked basically had a lot of dark and deathly energy, so evil and twisted beings often crawled out.

Gainando whispered with a disgusted expression.

"It's not a banshee, is it?"

"I'd be fine even if it was a banshee."

"..."

"I'm joking."

"It doesn't sound like a joke at all?"

Though a banshee's most threatening weapon was its eerie wail, it was unlikely to work on Yi-Han.

Having already endured several status attacks stronger than that, Yi-Han didn't care much.

"There's a hole below. It's small. We'll have to send in a summon."

"A spirit?"

"Spirits really hate being sent to places like that, so no."

Basically, there weren't many places dark mages operated that spirits would like.

A small cave hole located deep under a grave was even more so.

"Gainando. Send an undead."

"My thorn revenant can't go in there. I've already enhanced its size additionally..."

"...Gainando... I've told you, just increasing a summon's size doesn't solve everything..."

Yi-Han looked at his friend pitifully.

There were some dark mages who blindly increased their summons' size, but they soon regretted it.

Summons needed to be able to flexibly deal with situations; if they could only do one thing, it was very inconvenient for the mage.

"Well. Fine. I guess I'll have to call Sharakan."

Yi-Han summoned his leopard summon.

He had other undead summons too, but since the hole was quite small, the flexible quadrupedal undead Sharakan seemed most suitable.

However, Sharakan did not appear.

"...???"

Yi-Han summoned again. The result was the same. Gainando shouted as if he understood.

"It's sulking because you don't call it often! Like that griffin!"

"Gainando. I've told you, the griffin isn't sulking. It's not Basil either."

-?!-

The baby basilisk, who had been quiet until now, suddenly raised its tail straight up after being insulted.
