âThatâs not it!!â
âyes?â
âI said you can use all the ingredients in this room, but donât you think it makes sense to steal the potion and just hand it in!â
Professor Lee Han hesitated at Professor Thunder Walkâs protest and looked at Professor Thunder Walk as if he were a strange person.
Professor Woorestep was embarrassed and asked again.
ââ¦isnât that what you meant?â
âno. No, who steals the potion and submits it like that? The professor is also reallyâ¦â
At Lee Hanâs words, Professor Woorestep was embarrassed and then suddenly burst into tears.
âNo, this bastard stole it by force and now who is he doing that to?â
It was dumbfounded to suddenly treat myself as a strange person on the subject of stealing the potion from the hands of the professor.
If it werenât for the possibility that the disciple would later become the first sword of the Empire, he would have hit him once.
âThen why did you take it away?â
âThis is to analyze the potion more accurately. If I asked the professor for the potion, I thought that there was a high possibility that the professor would not give it to me.â
âUmâ¦â
That was right.
Because I thought I would never give it to my disciples even if they asked for it.
But it wasnât that it wasnât sarcastic. Professor Woore-geol felt more disgusted with the disciple who said the right thing today.
âjoy. Where do you do well?â
Professor Wooreeul crossed his arms and glared at Lee Han.
Stealing the potion was unexpected, but even then, making the same potion was still difficult.
Even if you obtained a potion, analyzing and understanding its characteristics is a completely different thing.
âIâm sure youâre not drinking ignorantlyâ¦â
Professor Thunderwalk was nervous.
Of course, the clever Wardanaj boy couldnât have been like that, but it was also true that he sometimes did crazy things casually.
Itâs not strange to drink it right away!
However, contrary to Professor Wooregeolâs concerns, Lee Han took a very standard approach.
âThat way?â
Lee Han took out a few drops of the potion from the glass bottle and dropped it on the floor.
Then he swung his staff and chanted a spell.
âIngredients. Be separate.â
âI learned that magic!â
Professor Wooreegeeol was surprised.
magic.
It was a magic that forcibly separated the ingredients in a potion or something.
It was a convenient magic that any alchemist could use, but Professor Thunderwalker didnât bother to teach it.
To become an outstanding alchemist, you must have the passion to discover and learn on your own.
You couldnât become an outstanding alchemist if the professor fed you.
Lee Han learned magic by searching the books in the library on his own, befitting Professor Thunderwalkâs educational view.
Seeing that, Professor Woorestep nodded.
âBecause he looks like a nasty guy!â
The thunder walk professor prayed that Lee Han would drink the acrid smoke and cough.
Fortunately, magic was never an easy magic.
It was easy to separate if the ingredients inside were clearly known, but if not, it was not easy to separate.
Magic was not a universal key that could solve anything just by knowing how to recite a spell.
Even if it is the same magic, it is greatly influenced by the knowledge and skill of the magician who uses the magic.
If you donât forcibly pour magic power into ignorance to separate the ingredients, the problem that can be solved by simply reciting a spellâ¦
âAh.â
Professor Thunderstruck realized belatedly and hesitated.
And the droplets of potion hanging on the floor began to slowly separate.
* * *
âItâs working better than I thought.â
Yihan and Yoner were students who were more serious about alchemy than anyone else in the tower.
Apart from other things, he had no choice but to analyze the potions that Ratford had stolen.
magic was also a magic learned during the process.
The other day, while looking through an alchemy book, I found the name, and after combing through other books, I managed to learn the spell.
I was worried if it would be okay, but luckily the magic worked better than I thought.
The drop of the potion split into smaller multi-colored drops.
Lee Han raised his head and looked at Professor Thunderwalker.
âhmm. Thatâs right.â
Seeing the disapproval on Professor Thunderâs face, it seemed certain that things went well.
âI commend you for separating the potion that far.â
âthank you.â
âBut thatâs not enough. There will be no way to determine the isolated components!â
âuh. Isnât this a potion of confidence?â
â????â
Professor Wooreegeol was surprised.
How did know?!
* * *
Nilia, who took the test before Lee Han, was sitting and talking with Ratford.
âHave you succeeded in matching the colors? How great?â
âI was lucky.â
âI donât think I made anything similarâ¦â
âNothing to worry about. This was a test that no one could produce perfect results. The professor must have seen the course too.â
At Ratfordâs consolation, Nylia nodded as if she had regained her energy.
âBut why did you walk around the night school without me the other day?â
ââ¦â¦â
Ratford broke out in a sweat.
âThat⦠I told you. This is⦠Salko of the Tutanta family is a friend with subordinates whom he can trust and trust. I was also called as a guide. Even Wodanaz-nim didnât know. If it had been just us, of course we would have called.â
âah. really. It did.â
Nilia nodded again in agreement.
And after talking about the alchemy class for about ten minutes, Nilia asked again.
âBut still, couldnât I have called before we left?â
ââ¦â
Ratford stared at the door involuntarily.
âWhen will Mr. Wardanaz come out?â
This was not something Ratford could convince. Lee Han had to come out.
âwhat do you think about it? huh? What do you think?â
âThatâs because Salcho has a bad temperâ¦â
Ratford originally didnât have a big grudge against Salcho, but he couldnât help it in the current situation.
I have no choice but to drive Salco as a bad guy.
âWhy donât you give me a chance to do that at allâ¦â
âThe island was like that the other day. I prepared everything, but I went with my friends from the White Tiger Tower? What do you think about this?â
âThose⦠White Tiger Tower guys are originally violent and despicable, arenât they?â
Ratford didnât hold much grudge against the White Tiger Tower friends, but he couldnât help it once again.
I have no choice but to drive as a bad guy again.
âI donât think it could have been helped from Wardanaz-samaâs point of view.â
âWell, that was unavoidable, wasnât it?â
âyes. So, letâs stop this topicâ¦â
âYes. ⦠Did I grumble too much?â
Nylia asked if she was aware of the grumbling. Ratford shook his head quickly.
âno?â
âokay? Good luck then.â
Nilia talked about alchemy for another fifteen minutes.
How was this test, what the assignments were like, what the midterms were likeâ¦
Other Black Turtle Tower students who came out after the exams also joined the conversation and offered their opinions.
Ratford was relieved that the topic had been completely off topic.
âBut this is not my story, it is my friendâs story. He said that friends from other towers keep forgetting about him.â
ââ¦â¦â
Ratford bowed his head.
The Black Turtle Top friends, who do not know the exact circumstances, seriously participated in the trouble.
âIsnât it because itâs a different tower? The other top guys are basically rude, cocky, or arrogant.â
âAt least the Phoenix Tower is better.â
âThe White Tiger Tower guys are really unlucky.â
While Ratford was thinking about how to change the subject, Lee Han opened the door and came out.
Ratford welcomed Lee Han like the hot soup he obtained after starving for several days.
âWardanaz-samaâ¦!â
âWas the test that hard?â
Lee Han was slightly taken aback when Ratford called out in a watery voice.
âWhat is going on?â
âPlease explain to Nilia what happened last time.â
âwhatâs the matter. Ratford. I understand everything.â
Neiliaâs expression didnât change and she scolded Ratford as if asking what she was talking about.
Ratford opened his mouth in remorse and looked at Nylia.
âIs that the behavior of someone who understands everythingâ¦!?â
Lee Han looked at Nilia and Ratford and quickly understood the situation.
He had been preparing for this situation ever since he walked the Tutanta family Salko and the night school.
âNilia. Salco was a bit too much. I asked to call him, but he stubbornly blocked me saying no.â
â!â
â?â
Ratford tilted his head.
Have you ever had such a conversation?
âI heard that when you have a background as an excellent hunter like you, other friends lose their confidence.â
âIs it?â
Niliaâs long ears perked up slightly.
Lee Han nodded with a very serious expression.
Even Ratford, who was in the same seat, thought, âI think there was a conversation like thatâ.
âThey didnât even let me call Yoner. Is it too much salcho? Donât say too much though. You did it for your friends.â
ââ¦okay. Thatâs right!â
Nilia answered with a face that was noticeably brighter than before. The angle of the ears was also much higher.
Ratford whispered softly.
âDid you have that conversation?â
âShh. Be quite.â
ââ¦â¦â
The Black Turtle Tower students saw Lee Han and called out.
âWardanaz. how was the exam Have you ever perfected the potion?â
âNo way. Itâs an impossible test in the first place. It failed.â
The other students were relieved by Lee Hanâs words.
It was a little relieved to see Lee Han, the most honorable student, say that.
Maybe itâs not as ruined as I thought!
âWhat qualities did you all notice? I put in pindensis because it stung my nose.â
âIs it? I tried to match the colors, so I focused on similar colorsâ¦â
While the students were talking, Han Lee listened in silence.
In the meantime, Yoner, who took the last test, walked out of the door.
âEveryone suffered. Of course, the potions you made would be stabbed if sold anywhere, but itâs true that you worked hard.â
The students glared at the professorâs words. Professor Dwarf burst into laughter as if he were having fun.
âHonestly, the test was too difficult. professor!â
âShouldnât it come out at least within the range we learned?â
âHere, Wodanaz also failed, so who can get this right!â
Students desperately protested that such a test would appear in the midterm exam.
Professor Thunderstruck, who was listening with a smile, asked what he was talking about.
âWhat are you talking about, Wardanaz almost succeeded?â
âyes?â
âAlmost succeeded. There were minor differences, but that was a success. It is the highest score.â
The students of the Black Turtle Tower, who had just been talking together, turned their heads and looked for Lee Han.
However, because Lee Han had already left the place, he could not be seen.
Thunderwalker clicked his tongue and said.
âTo believe the words of a friend who studies better than you. You are so naive.â
ââ¦Keughâ¦!â
âWardanazâ¦! I believedâ¦!â
* * *
Lee Han read the things he had written on the paper and was immersed in thought.
Now, the new students of the magic school were spreading here and there like ink drops in water.
And Lee Han was the one who was most actively going around the school.
Haunted Corridor on the 2nd Floor West of the Main Building (Unsolved) â Rumor has it that there is a pile of cloth storage on the school side.
Prison with a lock on the first basement floor of the main building (solution) â connected to the professorâs office. never approach.
Main buildingâ¦
âItâs interesting, but I want to check the way to the stable in the spire first.â
Seeing Lee Han drawing maps and taking notes on paper, Gainando asked.
âBut are you okay with Professor Garciaâs exam?â
âIâm a little anxious, but Iâve roughly prepared everything.â
ââ¦â¦â
Gainando looked at Lee Han like a monster.
Then he muttered.
âThe Wardanaz family⦠Itâs really scary!â
âDoesnât it have nothing to do with the Wodanaz family?â
