âThatâs right!â
ââ¦â¦â
When Rowena answered quickly instead, Lee Han looked at him with a shocked look.
However, Rowena did not notice Lee Hanâs gaze and continued to speak with a happy face.
âHere, Wodanaz is favored by the professor even though he studies other magic as well.â
âAll the guys in the White Tiger Tower really donât care.â
Han Lee lamented inwardly.
I donât even know if the other person is Professor Verdusâs enemy or friend, but what if he suddenly says that he is a disciple?
âRight.â
âDoes Puyo know Professor Verdus?â
âYou tried to cut my body before.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The atmosphere became chilly.
The princess and Lee Han looked at Rowena at the same time.
It was the look in his eyes that said, âWhat are you going to do with this atmosphere?
Unlike Lee Han, who can quickly mediate between demons in Hell, Rowena did not have such a talent.
Rowena didnât know what to do, but finally uttered a word.
âWell⦠are you cut?â
ââ¦Hey⦠thatâs not trueâ¦â
It was such a ridiculous sound that even Ctran stuck out his tongue.
The unseen Lee Han intervened.
âItâs really unbelievable. No matter how you try to cut someone elseâs body. Even though I am learning under the professor, I have always thought that the professorâs behavior was not right.â
âThatâs right. And Wardanaj doesnât get favored because he wants it. What kind of madman would want to work for a professor on vacation.â
When Cltran made an excuse, he waved his hand as if he had become Puyo.
âJust because you have a grudge with the teacher, you donât hold a grudge against the disciple. And itâs not that I donât understand Professor Verdus. Even if you were like me, you would have wanted to cut it. The body of a mixed-blood tree spirit is a precious material.â
Usually, mixed spirit spirits appeared because there were people who contracted with spirits during the ancestors.
The power contained in the blood is expressed in the next generation, and it is often awakened as a mixed blood.
As such, the body of a mixed spirit spirit was a precious material.
âhmm. Youâre crazy.â
Of course, such an explanation did not convince the students.
The moment Puyo said, âIf you were like me, you would have wanted to cut it.
âAre all grant wizards crazy people?â
âIâm curious about something other than what happened between me and Professor Verdus. Are you being favored by Professor Verdus?â
âItâs a bit exaggerated.â
âHave you ever met outside of class?â
âUh⦠yes.â
âHave you ever met separately and worked together?â
âThat⦠yes.â
âDid you let me work in Professor Verdusâ studio by any chance?â
âNo⦠thatâsâ¦â
âIsnât that a question that just needs a âyesâ or ânoâ answer?â
ââ¦yes.â
âItâs true that you are favored.â
Lee Han was sincerely sorry, but he couldnât come up with anything to refute.
âProfessor Verdus doesnât usually treat his students that way. You must be very talented.â
âItâs because of magic.â
Lee Han started to explain.
I have a lot of magic, so Professor Verdus is aiming for that magic like a bullyâ¦
Puyo nodded in surprise after hearing the explanation.
âSo it was!â
âyes. Professor Verdusâ¦â
âAh. That wasnât the sound. I felt a bloody intimidation when you came in.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han belatedly remembered that Puyo was of mixed spirit blood.
I thought there was no problem because there was nothingâ¦
âIs that so?â
âIt did. But nothing to worry about. Iâve met many customers who are more dangerous than you.â
âNot very comforting.â
Lee Han became bitter.
âItâs okay! âBecause Iâm better than the best criminals in the empire!â
âBut it is a little strange. No matter how much magic power Professor Verdus has in his personality, he wouldnât let an incompetent student participate in his work.â
âI guess you needed that much magic.â
Lee Han grumbled cynically, but instead of accepting it, Puyo was curious.
âDid you say freshman? How many circle enchantments did you succeed in?â
ââ¦4â¦â
âWhat? I couldnât hear you.â
âFour⦠Circlesâ¦â
There was silence for a moment.
Everyone from Lee Hanâs friends to Puyo stared at Lee Han.
No matter how much I thought about it, it wasnât magic at the level that a freshman could already succeed.
âRight.â
âAs for how that happenedâ¦â
âNo. Itâs okay if you donât even say that.â
Puyo, who was not very curious about the circumstances behind the scenes, cut off Lee Hanâs words.
Whether Professor Verdus forced him to do it or Lee Han was lucky, the important thing was that he succeeded.
It was enough to know that. Why is the circumstances involved in it so important?
âIf you were working with Professor Verdus, you must have made a few simple artifacts. what did you make?â
Puyo took up a piece of paper and a quill and asked a question.
Lee Han answered carefully.
âI made magic firecrackers.â
âMagic firecrackers. It must have been difficult for a freshman.â
â??â
Cltran, who was listening, asked in a puzzled way.
âWas there anything like that in the lecture?â
âI was called separately and made it.â
ââ¦â¦â
âHow many times has this bastard called Wardanaz?â
Surely each day would be the same as 24 hours, but something was strange.
Why does Wardanajâs day seem to be several times longer than others?
âMagic firecrackers⦠was that the end?â
âDo you have a shield? Mr. Wodanaz.â
Rowena whispered. Lee Han answered softly.
âThank you very much.â
ââ¦what am I doing wrongâ¦â
âShield? What shield is it?â
âThat float and automatic defenseâ¦â
âYou did a reflex too.â
âReflections?!â
When Cltran intervened, Lee Han closed his eyes.
âI think I know why the Blue Dragon Tower and the White Tiger Tower fight every time.â
âI did the reflection separatelyâ¦â
âThe reflection properties⦠I was honestly surprised.â
The faster Puyoâs quill moved, the more Yihan became anxious.
Usually, professors do things like that often, but after doing that, there werenât many good times for Lee Han.
Puyo persisted in asking, then satisfactorily put down the quill.
âindeed. I can see why Professor Verdus worked together.â
âProfessor has never said anything nice to meâ¦â
âThatâs probably because of Professor Verdusâ personality. You can tell by actions, not words. Iâve heard many times that the students of Einrogard are excellent, but Iâm really surprised. Hmm⦠would you like to come this way?â
Puyo pointed to the inside of the workshop, which he had not allowed before.
Seeing this, Lee Han felt ominous.
It was a similar feeling to when Professor Verdus called Lee Han.
âPuyo. Can the princess come with me too?â
â?!â
The princess, thinking that Lee Han had gone to the back of the studio, was taken aback.
âWardanaz-samaâ¦!â
âThis wordanaz is considerate.â
Rowena and Cltran admired Lee Hanâs thoughtfulness.
To have the opportunity to visit Puyoâs studio with a friend.
However, the princess had a different idea from the two.
I had a strong feeling that Lee Han had called because he didnât want to be dragged away alone.
âDo whatever you want. I didnât ask, but Iâm sure you donât have skills.â
âItâs okay. Letâs go.â
The princess nodded at Lee Hanâs words and reflected a little.
To doubt the goodwill of a friend who is doing you kindness purely out of feeling.
It was an arrogant act unacceptable for a member of the royal family.
ââ¦Thank you for inviting me.â
âno. Instead, if Puyo-nim tells you to work, letâs do it together.â
ââ¦!!â
The princess looked at Lee Han, who was leading the way with a shocked expression on her face.
I�!
* * *
âTake a look at these wands.â
Puyo held out the wood along with the painted paper.
Lee Han and the princess sat on chairs inside the studio and quietly started working.
Lee Han seemed to be staring at the princess from the side, but he ignored it as if he didnât see it.
âI guess Iâll avoid staring at her until she leaves.â
Originally, when the professor called, I liked going with other friends.
Because he could divide the work and, above all, he could escape by leaving his friend as the scapegoat if the worst happened.
Of course, there was a minor problem that my friend might resent.
âExcellent.â
Puyo was satisfied with the work of the two students.
In the case of Lee Han, I had high expectations not only from what I had just heard, but also from Professor Verdusâ guarantee, and he did not disappoint them at all.
At this level, it was much better than the half-hearted newcomer magician.
It was the same in the case of the princess.
I was worried about whether it would be okay just listening to what the other followers said, but seeing how he used his hands, I felt that he had a natural talent for magic.
Sharpening a cane wasnât just about looking at a picture and copying it the same way.
I had to figure out the flow of magic around the staff that I felt every time I sharpened it, and match the shape so as not to go against that flow.
The result of the two was all the more satisfactory as a wizard who lacked sense could not follow it no matter how much he ordered.
Puyo gave a few more assignments after that, and they did a great job.
Finally convinced, Puyo opened his mouth.
âDo you have any plans to learn some enchantment magic at my workshop during the rest of the vacation?â
â!â
Puyoâs offer was not just a job offer.
It was Puyo, an artifact craftsman recognized not only in Granden City but also in the Empire.
In addition, Puyo had a particularity that most wizards did not accept as a disciple of the studio.
Receiving an offer to work under such a Puyo was a reputation increase in itself. After all, they were still freshmen.
The princess nodded.
ââ¦I will do my best.â
Puyo replied as if he was grateful.
âI wouldnât say the job is easy, but Iâm sure youâll learn a lotâ¦â As
Puyo said, he realized something strange.
Only the princess answered.
âDo you have any other plans?â
When Lee Han hesitated to answer, not only Puyo but also the princess were taken aback.
What kind of nonsense is it that he brings you and only you are left behind?
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk!
Ignoring the princess hitting from the side, Lee Han cautiously opened his mouth.
âThat⦠I have a question.â
âAsk me.â
âDo you get paid?â
It was an important issue for Lee Han.
Already, people like Professor Verdus were exploiting Lee Han without paying a single gold coin.
However, no matter how great the enchantment mage was, he didnât want to increase the number of exploiters like that.
âCome out. Are you kidding me?â
Puyo tilted his head, not understanding Lee Hanâs question.
It didnât make sense for a student of this level to ask such a question.
âyes. It was a joke. sorry. I want to work too! i look forward to.â
âIâm asking you to take good care of me.â
Lee Han took Puyoâs hand and shook it.
Puyoâs studio was a really good job, as long as it was paid.
Above all, it was great to be able to freely access rare materials.
Of these, maybe one or two are discarded.
âWhat would you say if I told you to take it and practice?â
Lee Han, who was happy inside, suddenly thought of something, so he asked.
âBy the way, would Professor Verdus be dissatisfied if he found out I was working here?â
âYou donât have to worry about that.â
Lee Han was relieved by Puyoâs immediate reply.
There was no doubt that this level of work was passed on to each other implicitly among the enshrinement wizards.
âah. As expected, the granting mages respect each other in this respectâ¦
â
ââ¦â¦â
