The baby basilisk, which was the first to come to its senses, shouted in bewilderment.
-Thatâs called a horse!
I thought a professor would be able to calm the overgrown mandragora and make it stop crying, but he said, âWe never came here today!â
But Professor Bendozol didnât care.
âDragon. Although it may promote growth, there is no way to turn back a grown Mandragora. âThis is the best thing to do now.â
Ha, but⦠Jo Woo-rin seems to be a little⦠pricked by his conscienceâ¦
Of course, Jo Woo-rin also expressed his disapproval.
As a student or professor at Einrogard, Jo Woo-rin still had the sense of an outsider.
âDragon. Itâs okay to reveal the truth. âI donât care at all either.â
-â¦Why arenât you paying attention?
The baby basilisk was once again dumbfounded.
Another professorâs classroom is in such chaos right now, and itâs a bit too much to pay attentionâ¦
âBut Dragon. I dare say that Dragon is so merciful and kind that he listens even to the criticisms of students who are not his level. âWhen I think of Dragon-samaâs heartache, I already feel heartbrokenâ¦!â
Bendozol pounded his heart with mad loyalty. The baby basilisk whispered in a tired voice.
-Iâm scared of that person.
That said, I think the opinion makes sense.
-�!
The baby basilisk was startled when Jo Woo-rinâs attitude changed in a moment.
-why!?
That⦠Jo Woo-rin⦠I donât want to be scolded by Lee Hanâ¦
Jo Woo-rin spoke hesitantly, putting his front feet together in front of him.
It wasnât any of the other studentsâ business, but Lee Han got angry and said, âYou! If he said, âGo back to the capital!â, he would be so sad that Zhao Linâs heart might stop.
The opinion was so persuasive that even the baby basilisk was momentarily speechless.
-Thatâs the same for me too.
yes?
The baby basilisk was troubled.
Do you tell the truth according to your conscience and loyalty?
Or do you listen to the suspicious professorâs mean-spirited suggestion and hide it?
-Letâs hide it!
The baby basilisk made a decision like the king of snakes. Jo Woo-rin, who was also struggling with her thoughts, was pleased when her friend agreed.
really??
-yes! Weâve never visited!
When the baby basilisk cried out and waved its tail, Jourin responded by waving his wings.
At that sight, dew formed around Professor Bendozolâs eyes.
I didnât even know I had to work as a professor at Einrogard to see such beautiful sights.
okay! No one will know weâre there!
âgreat! âI will stick out my tongue and keep your secret!â
When Professor Bendozol caught the mood and shouted, the two were shocked and distanced themselves.
* * *
Lee Han woke up and came down, frowning.
âWhatâs wrong with you, Wardanaz?â
âNo⦠I think I had a disturbing dreamâ¦â
âI think I know why. âItâs because I always sleep on a chair and then on a bed.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han looked at Asan in confusion, but the other students seemed to agree with Asanâs words.
âIt seems plausible. Wardanaz. âYou need to use the bed too.â
âthatâs right. âA private room is not a place to store books, but a place to sleep.â
âEveryone is noisy.â
When I waved my wand, golden brown bread flew out of the frying pan placed on the bonfire.
At the same time, glass jars containing various jams and butter-cured and cut hams wrapped in brown wrapping paper arrived one after another from the cupboard.
The Blue Dragon Tower students grabbed each otherâs bread before admiring their friendâs brilliance in using 5-circle magic for household chores.
Einrogard students used to make noise during meal times when they were just newbies, but now they have decent friends.
I knew very well that if I did something else while talking, I would only be harming myself.
âWardanaz. How many tests are you taking next week? âHave you seen everything already?â
ââ¦No? âWhat kind of person keeps spreading nonsense?â
âI thought it was because Gainando was bragging to the White Tiger Tower guys that he already passed all of the exams.â
âThis bastard.â
Lee Han trembled when he realized the culprit was nearby.
Even if you get into childish arguments with other top students, what can you do if you spread fake rumors?
âI will prepare it over the weekend. Language lectures, transformation magic lectures⦠Ah. thatâs right. âI guess I should go to the greenhouse.â
âCome with me. âI need to catch some bugs too.â
âMore than that, Your Highness isnât waking up?â
The students were puzzled as they saw Jo Woo-rin sound asleep in front of the fireplace.
âShouldnât you wake me up? âIâm sure youâll pout if you leave me behind.â
âBut why are you sleeping so long? âYou usually woke up earlier than us.â
Joourin was a young dragon.
In other words, it meant that it was physically almost invincible.
I couldnât help but be amazed that the person who always woke up early and rolled around to go outside was still sleeping.
âmajesty. majesty?â
Ugh⦠Jo Woo-rin didnât do itâ¦
âWhat?â
â¦Lee Han!
Jo Woo-rin, who woke up late, noticed the students and blinked. My face turned pale.
Even if Zhao Wulin said something strange just now, it was all sleep talk! Talking in your sleep!
âYou didnât say anything.â
â¦isnât it? Jo Woo-rin is innocent!
ââ¦??â
No matter how you look at it, the students, including Lee Han, murmured at Jo Woo-rinâs strange reaction.
âDidnât it happen that Gainando came at night, stabbed him with a cane, and then ran away?â
âno way. âNo way⦠I guess thatâs the case.â
âno. âHow jealous Gai Nando is.â
Meanwhile, Lee Han put the baby basilisk back into his sleeve.
Lee Han was puzzled to see the guy who would normally wake up in the morning and chatter away, dozing off.
âwhat? âDid you two do anything at night?â
âmajesty. âIâm thinking of going to our greenhouse. Would you like to come with me?â
Uh⦠uh, I went there yesterday too, again? I think thatâs too much. I pity the Einrogard students!
âmajestyâ¦!â
All the students were impressed.
How merciful!
Some students vowed that when they graduated, they would join the royal faction that supported âJoe Lin as emperor.â
Looking at the courage he had just shown against the dragon race, he was fully qualified.
âBut we still have to go. I need to plant those new shoots too. âItâs probably completed, right?â
-Do not worry. You will be amazed!
Saratan rubbed his palms cunningly and cunningly.
Because of the recent attack, this arrogant and fierce spirit was very discouraged.
âgood. I will believe it. I heard that the spirit here raises Mandragora. Your Majesty, are you going with us? âI will introduce you to plants that you did not see yesterday.â
âWardanaz. Most of the plants I didnât see yesterday are plants that attack peopleâ¦â
âWhat do you think?â âYour Majesty would find that more interesting.â
It was difficult for most plants to make even a single scratch on Jourinâs scales. Lee Han confidently recommended it because he knew what Jo Woo-rin liked.
Joe Joulin might be a little scaryâ¦
â?!??â
Lee Han was really surprised.
âmajesty. Did something happen? If youâre worried about Einrogard, you can go back at any timeâ¦â
Ah, no! Thatâs not it!
âGainando didnât come out at night, attack with magic, and run away, right?â
Absolutely not⦠Jo Woo-rin said he would go see the greenhouseâ¦
Jo Woo-rin looked enviously at the basilisk sleeping in his sleeve.
It would have been better if Jo Woo-rin was also asleep!
* * *
âItâs not like youâre going to change your mind later.â
-Do not worry. I told you youâd be surprised.
Lee Han harassed the spirit every five minutes on the way.
Friends who didnât know what kind of animosity there was between the two whispered.
-Isnât Wardanaz too harsh on the spirits?
-I guess itâs the Wardanaz familyâs way. To subdue a strong spirit, you need dignity.
-indeed. So the spirits run awayâ¦
Uuuuuuuung!
All the students instinctively covered both their ears at the uncomfortable vibration sound coming from the greenhouse in the distance.
â¦Except for Lee Han.
âwhat?â
âWowardanaz. In the greenhouse⦠in the greenhouseâ¦!â
âItâs clear that Mandragora was chosen!â
Yoner, who was the first to grasp the situation, shouted. Among the greenhouse plants, the only plants that could be heard were mandragoras, even outside the door.
âeveryone. âTake the potion!â
âThank you Joner!â
âNot you!â
ââ¦I know.â
Ihan was slightly hurt when Yoner got angry and told him to give it to his friends.
Of course, it wouldnât have meant anything if Lee Han himself drank it, butâ¦
âThereâs no need to say something like that!â
The students, who managed to take out a mental protection potion and Mandragora earplugs, breathed a sigh of relief.
âWhy was Mandragora chosen?â
âwellâ¦?â
As Lee Han approached the greenhouse, he stopped.
I realized that there was a magic seal I had never seen hanging on the greenhouse door.
âwhat? âDid Professor Willow hang it up?â
However, if Professor Willow had hung it up, there was no reason to hang it up without telling the students.
Instead of breaking the seal, Lee Han first tried to check the situation inside.
ââ¦â¦â
Then he took a few steps back in shock.
âWhatâs wrong with you, Wardanaz?â
ââ¦Can Mandragora actually grow like that?â
â??â
The friends brought their faces closer to the greenhouse window, wondering what Lee Han was talking about.
Then, in shock, he took a few steps back.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Originally, Mandragoraâs body, which looked like a screaming person, was buried deep in the ground, with only the leaves and upper stem slightly exposed.
But now, the greenhouse was filled with huge mandragora leaves and trunks that I had never seen before. The leaves were so large that they covered half of the greenhouse.
Other top students who arrived late were also surprised to see the situation inside.
âWhat on earth happened?â
âCan Mandragora grow like that?â
âRather than that, were you crying on the ground now? âDidnât Mandragora come out??â
âIf itâs like this outside the greenhouse doorâ¦â
âOkay!â
When Siana shouted, everyoneâs eyes turned to her.
âWhat did you know, Priest Siana?â
âI understand why Mandragora became like that. Wardanaz.â
Siana stretched out her finger with a confident attitude, like a detective. At the tip of that finger was Lee Hanâs staff.
âThe spirit within that wand is the culprit!â
-�???!!!!
Saratan, who was waiting with a bud, suddenly screamed at the sight of the wizard accusing him of being the culprit.
Of course, Saratanâs voice did not reach the other students except Lee Han.
âWho else but that spirit would raise Mandragora like that? Plus, that spirit has a motive! âI have a grudge against Wardanaz, so itâs not surprising if I misinterpret the order!â
âIs it⦠the spiritâs revengeâ¦!â
âSo thatâs what I meant when I asked you to wait a day!â
The students were all amazed by Sianaâs reasoning.
Powerful and fierce beings from other dimensions did not go easy even if they were bound by a contract.
They are always trying to exploit the contract holder by exploiting a gap in the contract.
-Absolutely not! Absolutely not! Who is that damn wizard bastard slandering? Kill it!
Saratan jumped up and down.
Making excuses like this in itself felt absurd.
It was humiliating to submit to a young wizard, but you have to make excuses like this!
However, Lee Han was already half-way behind Siannaâs reasoning.
âNow that I think about it, didnât you say that you would be surprised when you get to the greenhouse?â
-â¦â¦
