“Both mean the same thing, don’t they...?”
If you had that experience, you should have learned a higher-level spell and prepared to crush your enemies! the Skull Headmaster scolded Ihan sternly.
But Ihan’s expression was not what the Headmaster expected.
Instead of reflecting and accepting his reprimand, he just stared at the Skull Headmaster as if he found the whole thing ridiculous.
“How am I supposed to practice any more here...?”
The Skull Headmaster almost accepted that answer.
He was an old soul and had somewhat lenient standards for magic education, but even by ancient standards Ihan’s training so far had been harsh.
Still, the Headmaster barked again rather than back down.
You can at least stop making excuses if you can’t show any remorse!
“No... still, how am I supposed to practice more here...?” Ihan asked in bafflement, and the Skull Headmaster quickly changed the subject.
It would be unwise to take Bagrek to the place where the Sea Serpent was found.
Even if you could handle any problems that cropped up, far more problems would likely follow.
“Indeed.” This time Ihan understood.
Bringing Professor Boladi to where the Sea Serpent had been found would have been like bringing a torch into a gunpowder magazine.
“I will remember.”
Good.
Remember it.
