âCome to think of it, thatâs not important right now.â
âThen whatâs importantâ¦â
Professor Thunderstruck, who was about to listen, muttered dissatisfiedly.
He wanted to hear from the discipleâs mouth exactly what he had done.
âWhen we heard the words of Joanen Meikin, we talked about this. How would you like to make with this personâs help? But I didnât know you were a first-year student.â
âIs that so?â
âOf course it is.â
Professor Thunderwalk grumbled.
What kind of guy would think he was a first-year student after only hearing that?
âCan you help me?â
âof course.â
It was Lee Han who came to flatter him. There was no reason to refuse.
âprofessor. Could I borrow the workshop for a while?â
âDo whatever you want.â
The alchemists bowed their heads in gratitude.
Then, I got up from my seat with Lee Han and headed to the studio.
ââ¦?!â
Professor Wooreegeol realized it belatedly.
âIsnât that learning the vision!?â
Just like water flowing like this?!
* * *
âBut Iâm not very experienced in alchemy.â
âIs that so? He said he worked at Joanen Meikinâs studio, so I thought he had a lot of experience.â
âAbout half a yearâ¦â
At Lee Hanâs answer, the Paragranum alchemists looked at Lee Han with a shocked face as if they had heard an unbelievable sound.
When the alchemists, who had not changed their emotions so far, did this, Lee Han felt a bit pressured and said,
ââ¦I think it was a little longer than that.â
âIs that so? Some extent?â
âAbout one more month?â
ââ¦â¦â
The alchemists suddenly started whispering among themselves. Lee Han suddenly regretted it because he seemed to have said something useless.
âLee Han. Are you interested in the Paragranum Guild?â
Fortunately, the alchemists made suggestions without saying anything. Lee Han answered with relief.
âI have always admired the Paragranum Guild. Among the imperial alchemist guilds, isnât it the guild that is always dedicated to new discoveries? I still remember making a cure for blue blood disease two years ago.â
âYou are overrated.â
The alchemists were not swayed by these few words of praise, but they accepted the fact that Lee Han had goodwill towards the Paragranum guild quite highly.
If you have goodwill towards the guild, there is a high possibility that you will try to join it after graduating.
âBut itâs hard to deny that our guild has some advantages that other alchemist guilds donât have.â
âIs that so?â
Lee Han suddenly became interested.
After all, isnât it the evaluation of those working inside that is more accurate than rumors heard outside?
What are the advantages of these alchemists?
The Alchemists of Paragranum spoke with faint pride.
âOnce you start researching, you donât stop with an excuse like a break.â
ââ¦?â
Lee Han felt something strange, but the alchemists continued to speak.
âAnd dangerous research that other guilds do not do is conducted in our guild.â
âOh⦠Are the alchemists getting less money than other guilds?â
âYou know me? youâre right. Instead of needlessly taking gold coins, you can use them for research.â
âItâs a really, really good guild.â
âThatâs right.â
After the conversation, Lee Han smiled and nodded.
And I thought to myself.
âI shouldnât even go near the Paragranum guild building.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was a crazier guild than I thought.
âSo what kind of potion is ? I donât remember hearing of itâ¦â
If itâs a potion released on the market, thereâs a high chance that Lee Han has heard the name, but it was strangely the first time he heard it.
âItâs never been made public, so of course youâve never heard of it.â
âYeah⦠wait. Isnât that a vision then?â
Lee Han was taken aback.
If itâs a potion that hasnât been released outside, itâs a guildâs vision, so can I tell you about it like this?
âyes. youâre right.â
âMay I know?â
âIsnât it necessary for research?â
The alchemists looked at Lee Han as if âWhy are you asking an obvious question?â
Han Lee should feel like he has become a strange person.
âhmm. I guess I should have brought Professor Thunderwalk.â
ââ¦understand.â
âI knew you would. is a kind of stealth potion.â
âStealth⦠potion?â
Lee Han was surprised.
Stealth-based potions had a fairly limited effect.
âIs there more than the principle of conversion magic or endowment magic? Itâs possible to improve, butâ¦â
It would be possible to change the method and principle and increase the duration or effect, but it was a fairly minor potion compared to what the Paragranum Guild was researching.
âyes. But itâs a little different from what you might think. What we are trying to hide is not a shape or form, but a specific energy.â
â!â
The energy emanating from existence.
It could have been the pressure from magical powers, the energy of the attributes emitted by the spirits, or the killing spirit emitted by the knights.
It was an unexpected idea to cut only this specific energy.
âIs that possible?â
âTheoretically, it is more or less complete. All that remains is to experiment. There are two things we want to get help from Lee Han. one is horsepower. I heard that an abnormal level of mana is invested when magically treating materials.â
ââ¦Itâs not to an abnormal levelâ¦â
Lee Han muttered, but the alchemists ignored him.
âOriginally, it is not a method commonly used in alchemy.â
Alchemy is the study of thorough calculations without a single error.
As long as the calculations were correct, there was no reason to over-inject magic to an abnormal level like Lee Han.
Besides, if you did it that way, the alchemist could have collapsed before the potion was finished.
âHowever, the case is a bit different this time in The Veil of Paragranum. We anticipate that over-injection of mana will complete the effect of this potion.â
âI see⦠Wait a minute. If there are two, what is the other?â
âI heard that Lee Han-nim emits a sense of intimidation from magical powers to frighten the spirits. Could you please allow me?â
Among the various energies, the one that is sensed by a sensitive being like a spirit is the most difficult to hide.
If the potion works successfully against someone who scares the spirits, then the potion is, in effect, a success.
ââ¦it doesnât matter, but where did you hear that?â
âJoanen Meikin told me.â
âMr Joanen!â
Lee Han called out to Yonerâs older sister inwardly.
Why do you even go so farâ¦
* * *
âAgain.â âagain.â âagain.â âBut you really have a lot of magic power.â âagain.â âagain.â âagain.â âagain.â âagain.â
Professor Wooreeul, who came to watch, admired Lee Hanâs patience.
In the old days when Professor Thunderwalk was learning, if you taught like that, five out of ten would give up, three would run away, one would punch the teacher in the face, and one would hold on to the end.
And Lee Han belonged to the last case.
The alchemists of the Paragranum Guild repeatedly shouted âagainâ like madmen, but Lee Han measured the ingredients, swung his staff, and adjusted the intensity of the fire without a change in expression.
âIs everyone doing well?â
âyes. This is thanks to Lee Hanâs outstanding talent. for a moment. Please do it again.â
The thunder walk professor glanced at Lee Han. Fortunately, I wasnât clenching my fists.
As he knew Lee Hanâs swordsmanship skills from Professor Ingeldell, Professor Thunderwalker couldnât help but care.
âBut itâs the weekend, so wouldnât it be better to take a break?â
Students were told to work hard to learn, but Professor Wooreegeul also had a conscience.
He couldnât help but feel sorry for the disciple who stood in front of the pot and listened to âAgainâ over and over again for about 12 hours.
âprofessor. Do you know what is one of the things Han Lee highly appreciates about the Paragranum Guild?â
ââ¦Uh⦠you set fire to the water supply?â
âno. Once the research started, they highly valued not stopping with an excuse like taking a break.â
ââ¦â¦â
Professor Thunderwalker could see Lee Han, who was stirring the ladle with an expressionless face, clenched his fist for the first time.
â¦isnât that right?
âThat⦠thatâs right. Iâm obviously dry got it? Iâm obviously dry.â
â??â
The alchemists, who didnât know who Professor Thunderwalker was talking to, tilted their heads.
It was then.
âAhhh!!â
When one of the alchemists screamed, Professor Thunderwalker hurriedly turned his head.
He was worried that Lee Han, impatient, had pushed the alchemist into the pot. It used to happen often in the past.
But fortunately, it was not such an accident. Silver smoke was rising from inside the cauldron.
âAre you done?â
âyes! at las!â
With his intuition as an outstanding alchemist, Professor Thunderwalk felt that the potion in front of him had been completed.
I still hadnât figured out what potion it was, but it was something to celebrate.
âCongratulations. He suffered so much.â
âno. It would have been difficult to complete on our own.â
âTo think that overinjecting mana was the answer. Everyone will be surprised to hear it. isnât it? Lee Han?â
It was natural for the alchemists to be surprised.
The potion kept failing right before completion, but the correct answer was to madly increase the magical power of the ingredients.
It wasnât just a general level, but really blowing it to the point of wondering, âDo I have to pour this much magic?â was the hidden answer.
âIt looks like youâre tired from consuming too much mana.â
âDonât you think soâ¦?â
Professor Wooregeol denied it, but Lee Han didnât say anything. He just stood there with a tired face.
âIâm tired.â
He couldnât help but get tired of repeating the incredibly long process of making potions in succession without stopping.
No matter how much alchemists do their best to help, the burden will pile up.
But still, it was definitely a good opportunity. Lee Han could understand why Professor Thunderwalk invited the alchemists from outside.
âFrom the way you handle materials to the magic you use. It was different from Ein Rogardâs method.â
Just looking at the work of other alchemists felt like the boundaries of my thoughts were broadening.
If Lee Han already knew some of the potion recipes by mixing a few of the Paragranum guildâs secrets and making them again, the results would be better than now.
Maybe thatâs why the guilds keep their know-how secretly hidden.
âokay. Having learned this, I should definitely be gratefulâ¦â
âLee Han-nim. Are you okay?â
âyes.â
âAny magic power?â
âyes.â
âWhat did I say?â
Thunderstruck Professor replied as if to look at it.
âThen, I will summon the spirits and test the potion.â
ââ¦â¦â
While Lee Han was at a loss for words, the alchemists made their own decisions and headed outside.
It was to summon the spirit in a large space and face Lee Han.
With only the two of them left, Thunderwalk made excuses again without realizing it.
ââ¦Next time, I will never call the Paragranum guild alchemists.â
âNo. Please call me if possible.â
âReally?â
âyes. Wouldnât it be okay if the juniors took away the opportunity to learn?â
ââ¦â¦â
For some reason, âlearnâ sounded like âdanghalâ in Professor Thunderwalkâs ears.
