Farhaitâs Illusion Magic series was more difficult than other Illusion Magic.
Not only did it deal with simple fantasy, but the difficulty level naturally increased as the element of heat was added.
ends with adjusting the temperature suitable for the fantasy, but if you go to the middle or high level, you can actually invoke the illusion of attacking the intruder.
âLetâs stay calm.â
The senior realized that what he was doing was ugly and collected his heart.
There was no law saying that a freshman must fail at magic. Luckily, the magic might have been right for him.
-Looking at it, you seem to have a talent for fire elemental magic. let me guess In Professor Garciaâs class, you showed a talent for the fire element, right?
âProfessor forbids fire elemental magic.â
-â¦â¦
The senior was at a loss for words.
Talent, what the heck did you do after leaving? Fire elemental magic was banned?
âWhat is this bastard?â
* * *
The party moved to the kitchen.
In a situation where you donât know when a walking armor or warehouse keeper will appear, you canât wait long.
The unidentified senior waved a piece of paper and a quill and guided the group forward.
The door engraved with the kettle pattern creaked open.
-This is the basement âkettleâ kitchen. Itâs relatively easy to access compared to other kitchens in the school. Itâs a bit unfortunate that there is no alcoholâ¦
âIs alcohol important?â
Contrary to Lee Hanâs idea of what he regrets, the Black Turtle Tower students are very sorry.
âNo alcoholâ¦â
âItâs really too bad.â
âIs there no need for alcohol in the kitchen?â
Lee Han was dumbfounded by his friendsâ strong desire for alcohol.
âWhat the hellâ¦â
Did you come to learn or drink?
While the students of the Black Turtle Tower were rummaging through the kitchen to see if there was any alcohol, the senior called Lee Han.
Previously in , I showed an ugly side, but this time it was time to show a more senior-like side.
How touching is the hidden place of the school to the naked and starving freshmen who know nothing.
-ruler. follow me. And be careful not to scream.
â?â
â Open that cupboard.
Lee Han, puzzled by the seniorâs words, opened the cupboard.
âAre there any traps?â
There were piles of ham and sausages made from cut pieces of meat.
Lee Han was grateful to see the salted or smoked sausages.
âthis. thank you.â
-â¦â¦
The senior was taken aback.
Usually when I was a freshman, it was normal for me to roll my eyes when I saw something like that.
How happy I was when I happened to get a sausage in the professorâs lab in my freshman year.
I didnât even use a fork or knife. I cut it roughly with a pocket knife and swallowed it in a hurry. I could still remember the taste of that sausage.
But now, that freshman boy was showing a relaxed image, saying, âYou made it pretty wellâ and even giving a review.
No matter how you look at it, it wasnât the look a freshman would show.
how�
âWardanaz. I found the ingredients I needed. Would you like to come and help me?â
âokay. i get it.â
The Black Turtle Tower students lit a fire under the pot and gathered the ingredients.
The senior asked curiously.
â What are you doing?
âIâm trying to make a nutritious meal for a friend.â
-Thatâs not a bad idea.
The senior nodded.
Magic school was an overly harsh place to eat only what was given. Especially if you are a freshman.
I had to take care of myself in order to survive.
-â¦wait for a sec. wait for a sec.
â?â
â Now thatâs not just cooking!
The senior was surprised and tried to stop it.
The atmosphere was different from the usual cuisine.
The ingredients in the pot caused a chemical reaction and emitted unique magic power.
It was a kind of alchemy.
In addition, looking at the preparation, the process was not usually complicated.
âI think Iâll need a magic spellâ¦â
-Itâs not a level of difficulty for a freshman. quit it!
âis it?â
Lee Han asked Salco. I had to confirm what I had heard so far.
âTutanta. I heard that this dish is not an ordinary dish, but a kind of alchemy, so the level of difficulty is quite high. Is that true?â
âYes.â
Salco nodded meekly.
Seeing this, Lee Han was slightly relieved.
âSeeing that, there must be a corner to believe.â
Salco was not a reckless man. If I hadnât been sure, I wouldnât have done this.
âEven if you know, you must be confident when you see that you prepared like this.â
âYes.â
And Salko held out the scroll to Yihan. Lee Han hesitated.
ââ¦?â
âHere is the family secret, which I have documented in as much detail as possible. You can do it.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han was absurd.
Salko, who believes in and passes on the family secret, was absurd, but more than thatâ¦
So, did the students of the Black Turtle Tower believe in Lee Han?
âThese bastards are overestimated too much.â
Rumors about black magic have already spread so much that they canât be undone, but isnât this a completely different realm?
âIâm not that good at alchemyâ¦â
âPriestess Cyana praised you very much. If it was praised by a priest of the Flemain Church, there is no lie.â
âWardanaz. You donât have to be humble in front of us.â
The Black Turtle Tower students said as if they were talking about something.
Lee Han seriously contemplated whether he should flatter others less in the future.
âMmm. But I donât think I can make it.â
First of all, Lee Han read the secret of the Tutanta family.
This and that material was tricky and a lot went into it, but it wasnât so difficult that it couldnât be done.
Iâve done many experiments that are much more difficult than this, but thereâs no reason to be intimidated by this level.
â Because itâs not a difficulty that freshmen can do.
The senior next to me scribbled with a quill. Lee Han said.
âI think I can.â
-â¦Youâll regret it later.
The senior prayed that the cheeky freshman would fail in alchemy and be covered with the liquid in the pot.
Originally, in the first grade, wouldnât it be learning oneâs own limits!
* * *
The liquid in the pot turned golden, and the bubbles began to shrink and settle.
The Black Turtle Tower students exclaimed.
âAs expectedâ¦â
Salcho nodded as if he knew.
âthanks. Wodanaz. I was sure you could do it.â
Lee Han was shaken by the appearance of the Black Turtle Tower students who believed in him more than Lee Han himself, but he did not show it on the outside.
Because itâs fine!
Of course, unlike the warm atmosphere of the freshmen, the senior I was watching was so dumbfounded and absurd that I couldnât say anything.
-Arenât you a freshman? say. what grade are you in??
âI am a freshman. senior.â
-Where is a freshman like you!
Ordinary freshmen did not learn all at once. I didnât keep my composure by looking at the food in the kitchen.
Besides, he didnât show a single mistake while going through the complicated alchemy process.
âWardanaz is a freshman. senior.â
âthatâs right. Why are you doing this to Wardanaj?â
The students of the Black Turtle Tower began to be suspicious of the senior who couldnât even see his face.
Wardanaz says he canât do enoughâ¦
Arenât you intentionally sabotaging him?
There was no way the senior was unaware of that gaze. The senior was speechless with resentment.
How dare you use such an outrageous name!
âSo Tutanta. Is it done?â
âokay. This is our familyâs secret beer candy.â
â???â
Lee Han immediately doubted his ears.
However, unlike the playful name, beer candies made with the vision of the Tutanta family were a nutritious and preservative food that had quite serious effects.
It can be stored at room temperature for several months, and two finger-sized beer candies provide two daysâ worth of nutrients.
âTry it once. Wodanaz.â
Lee Han carefully put the beer candies in his mouth. The sweet and mild taste reminded me a little of taffy.
Salko said with a proud expression.
âCan you feel your mana recovering?â
ââ¦Ughhhhhhhhhh.â
Lee Han managed his expression, remembering the last time he drank the magic potion.
âBut why is your name Beer Candy?â
âThe ancestors of our family, who were suffering from beer shortages because they were trapped under the mines, made it as a substitute for beer and gave it that name.â
âI seeâ¦â
Yihan, hearing the really useless words, roughly nodded, cut up the beer candies, wrapped them in paper, and put them in his pocket.
I think I made the dish I wanted. Now itâs time to go home with only the good things to pack in the kitchen.
âWhere was the sausage?â
-Itâs a big deal!!!
The senior urgently wrote with a quill pen. In such haste, the last words were not even properly completed.
âWhat is it?â
-The warehouse keeper is coming! Dodge into a corner!
Heat distort the air!
The senior memorized a spell along with the words.
It was a magic that took much more effort than before.
It was necessary to create a plausible illusion to cover up the messy interior of the kitchen.
âCan you fool the warehouse keeper with this?â
-I donât know either! keep quiet!
The seniorâs nervousness was also contagious to the other students.
Lee Han and the Black Turtle Tower students watched the kitchen door with hard faces.
ââ¦?â
However, the warehouse keeper walking down the hallway did not open the door. Lee Han felt the warehouse keeper cast a spell outside the door.
âIt works magic!â
-Magic⦠wait. how did you know
The senior was embarrassed while using the quill.
He said he had placed summons for distant viewing in the hallway to see who was coming first, but that freshman didnât have anything like that at all.
How did know?
âSince the mana moved, didnât you use magic?â
-You can detect it from here? no. It doesnât matter now. I think the warehouse keeper made up his mind.
The senior looked at the hallway and was embarrassed.
The storage keeper, who would normally just pass by, was casting a spell on each door to see if there had been a change of heart.
That magicâ¦
âspace magic!â
The seniorâs complexion turned livid. I donât know if itâs another type of magic, but if itâs space magic, itâs several times more difficult to break.
Magic that is notorious for being the most difficult among magic.
To put that kind of magic on the door.
âWhy are you doing that! Are you crazy!â
Wouldnât it be okay to just patrol as usual and go to rest if thereâs nothing wrong?
Today, I couldnât figure out why everyone was suddenly casting space magic on the door.
After the storage keeper disappeared, the senior opened the door and tried to get out of the kitchen.
And then he went right back into the kitchen.
To Lee Han and the Black Turtle Tower students, it seemed that the door was just opening.
âWhat are you doing?â
-â¦If you try it yourself, youâll know.
Freshmen went out and came right in. They looked at the door with absurd expressions like seniors.
-It twisted the door space. Itâs the warehouse keeperâs magic.
âSenior, do you have a solution?â
-does not exist. we are screwed
Lee Han nodded his head as if he couldnât help it.
âIn the end, you end up in the punishment room like this.â
âsorry. Wodanaz. Itâs because of us.â
âdone. It was something I was determined to do from the start. to keep promises later. I didnât steal anything, but just in case you donât know, everyone should hide it well.â
-â¦â¦
Even though he was about to enter the punishment room, the senior was shocked to see Lee Hanâs expression not changing.
What is this�
-Actually⦠there is a way.
âAh. Is that so?â
The senior became seriously curious about what the hell this freshman boy would be embarrassed to face.
