Chapter 122
‘No. You can’t judge people with things like this.’
A slightly twisted sense of humor was only a minor drawback at this magic school.
Lee Han decided to focus on the positive strengths of the professor in front of him.
“It was really fun. For tired of school life, it feels refreshing like a cool breeze…”
Asan got up and approached after finishing the second session, but stopped when he heard Lee Han’s words.
‘What was fun?’
No matter how you think about it, there was no fun factor at all in this test.
“hello. professor. It is said to be the son of the Dalcard family.”
After discovering Asan, Professor Alpen took out his pocket watch and checked the ti.
“hmm. I have sothing to say to the students with excellent grades… Co with .”
Asan put on a puzzled expression.
At best, I bought ti by finishing the exam, but I didn’t want to waste it talking to the professor again.
“I will.”
Of course, it wasn’t Lee Han. Lee Han replied without giving Asan a chance to make an excuse.
Asan licked his lips in regret and moved on.
“Co to think of it, Asan. How did you solve the last problem?”
“I couldn’t co up with an answer, so I wrote it down to substitute it from 0, but luckily… Wodanaz, you?”
Asan looked at Lee Han with an expression of ‘Of course, Wodanaz solved it like , right?’
Lee Han nodded.
“Of course I did that too.”
Lee Han made a promise that he would answer like that if other friends asked him.
He didn’t want to appear to understand Headmaster Skeleton too well.

Professor Alpen’s room was quite old-fashioned.
The books were stacked without a speck of dust, and everything in the room was in its place.
“Sit down.”
When the two students sat down, Professor Alpen swung his cane and filled the cup with tea.
“These two students are outstanding enough to rank 1st and 2nd in this exam.”
“thank you.”
“Actually, next week one of my friends is going to visit the school. He’s a friend I dated when I was working as an imperial administrator…”
Lee Han’s eyes widened as he listened quietly.
Any friends he had made while working as an imperial administrator were likely to have been high-ranking imperial officials as well.
“…When he visited, he wanted to see the work of the students I was teaching. That’s why I’d like to entrust you with making a simple magic circle. As I said in the lecture, it shouldn’t be that difficult.”
Lee Han was delighted and Asan was disgusted.
What is it that you regret that you have to do additional assignnts?
It’s not that the grades aren’t good enough!
‘I guess I can do this.’
Lee Han nodded his head after seeing Asan’s disliked reaction.
Yihan has good grades, and most of all, doesn’t Asan hate it?
It was a perfect opportunity.
“I think it would be nice if Dalcard took over.”
“…?!”
Lee Han was surprised.
why?!
“My… ? Wouldn’t it be better for Wardanaz to take over?”
Asan blurted out his words as if he had no confidence.
Skill is also skill, and I didn’t want to do such an additional task.
Lee Han internally cheered for Asan.
‘cheer up. Asan!’
“Isn’t Wardanaz-kun currently in charge of too many things?”
“……”
“……”
Both Lee Han and Asan were at a loss for words.
that’s right!
“I heard that he is concentrating on his studies so fervently that he is taking ti off from other professors to learn from them. You can’t disturb such a student, can you?”
“…All right. I’ll do it…”
Asan said in a sullen voice.
Asan also had a conscience.
If you were a student belonging to the Blue Dragon Tower, you couldn’t say ‘Still, you take care of it!’ to such a busy and difficult Lee Han.
“no. professor. I will also help Asan.”
“Can I?”
“yes.”
“Wardanaz…!”
Asan was so moved that dew ford around his eyes.
To help with this boring, uninteresting and annoying task with a single friendship.
Seukseuk –
Asan wiped away the tears with his sleeve. After entering this school, I felt that there were exceptionally many tears.
“thanks. Wodanaz.”
“It’s nothing. Asan.”
Lee Han patted Asan on the shoulder and thought to himself.
‘I will definitely catch your eye.’
No matter who Professor Alpen’s friends are, they will surely stand out!
After hearing a brief explanation, the two students said goodbye and left the room.
Professor Alpen, who was left alone in the room, muttered a pity.
“Sorry. Originally, I wanted to recomnd Wardanaz-kun…”
In terms of talent and skills, the boy from the Wardanaz family was a talent enough to be recomnded to the imperial administrators later.
A brilliant brain and a strong passion for learning.
He will surely beco a good official of the empire.
But…
‘It’s right to let such outstanding talent focus on academics, not governnt jobs.’
Professor Alpen knew it well.
Moderately brilliant brains are worthy of imperial office, but truly brilliant brains should be devoted to learning for the future of the empire.
Professor Alpen, who had worked in governnt for a long ti, ca to this school in order to nurture even a little bit of the future of the empire.
As a forr bureaucrat, it was disappointing, but as an educator, it was a joy.
‘I will help as much as I can. to concentrate on studies. Wardanaz-kun.’

Thursday.
As Lee Han walked to his alchemy class, he realized that the students’ faces were tired.
“What ti did everyone leave the classroom yesterday?”
“After midnight… the magic didn’t work.”
“……”
“What was the correct answer to the last question?”
Yoner still had an expression of incomprehension.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t co up with an answer other than 720 coins.
“…0 coins.”
“huh?”
“0 coins.”
“why?”
“That’s… so…”
Lee Han explained carefully, looking at Yoner’s notice even though he hadn’t caused a problem.
The sparks that could be used to slt tal rose from Yoner’s pupils.
“porridge…! …okay. That was it. okay.”
Yoner barely cald down.
At this school, I couldn’t stand it if I was angry at each and every one of these things.
Poof-
“?”
Lee Han turned his head.
The princess passing by was tearing up papers with various formulas and numbers on them with an expressionless face.
Because I couldn’t solve it yesterday, it seems that I have been solving it until today.
“…I’m sorry for nothing.”
“why. it’s not your fault Don’t do that for nothing.”
Yoner comforted Lee Han. The Maikin family girl opened her mouth to change the topic.
“I heard you make a magic circle with a moon card?”
“huh.”
“…wouldn’t it be better to just leave the moon card alone?”
“Hey… ikin…”
Asan passing by looked at Yoner as if he was sad.
Of course, Yoner wasn’t wrong.
Even the other top students seed to agree with Yoner.
“Isn’t it better to do it alone?”
“Moon card. You have to be considerate of Wodanaz.”
“……”
Asan looked at Yihan as if asking for help. Lee Han nodded and replied.
“I made this decision because I wanted to help, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Then I can’t help it…”
“Can’t I ask the prince for help? It seed like ti was running out.”
Bang-bang-bang-
The thunder-walking professor entered the classroom and made the sound of knocking on the pot.
“Nice to et you all. Even if I don’t explain, everyone will know what we’re going to do today, right?”
The students’ faces beca pouty.
Even if you look at the sa paper test, Professor Thunder Walk had a knack for making it a little more nasty.
Perhaps feeling the eyes of the students, Professor Wooreeul laughed.
“ruler. Line up and co inside one by one.”
“?”
The students were buzzing about the test in a different way than they thought.
I thought it would be a test of how to make a potion using a pot together in the classroom as usual…?
“Why? Everyone, please line up and co in.”
“……”
The students lined up, looking very suspiciously at Professor Thunderwalker.
I had no idea what was going to be on the door at the back of the classroom.
“What the hell is there?”
“Aren’t there monsters?”
“It’s an alchemy class?”
“Then, what class was the crazy monster attacking on the first day?”
“…That was also an alchemy class. shit. There might be monsters.”
The students quickly made up their minds and grabbed the canes.
Now that this is the case, the possibility of a monster appearing is really high.
‘Couldn’t monsters appear…?’
Lee Han did not give up hope and handed out snacks to his friends.
“what’s this?”
“Beer candy. If you run out of magic, eat it.”
The friends nodded their heads with spleen expressions and took beer candies.
It was a must-have item as you don’t know how much magic you’ll need when dealing with monsters.
“Wardanaz. Co in.”
Lee Han opened the door and went inside.
Fortunately, the monster didn’t attack, but Lee Han didn’t let his guard down.
“…You can take your hands off the waist.”
Thunderwalker looked at Lee Han as if he was dumbfounded.
Of course, doubting was a good habit, but what was the point of being able to pull out the sword at any ti after coming to take the alchemy test?
Are you here for the swordsmanship test?
“professor. I trust you.”
“I think I said it before, but people who really believe don’t say such things. ruler. Look at the pot and look at the ingredients next to it.”
Lee Han checked the pot.
And I checked the materials placed next to . All of them were new materials.
“I saw.”
“Then try making this potion using only the ingredients in the room.”
“?”
Lee Han hesitated when he saw the potion dripping in a glass bottle shaken by Professor Thunderwalker.
It was the first potion he had ever seen.
“Is this a potion you taught in class?”
“no.”
“Can you tell what potion it is?”
“no.”
“……”
Thunderstep shed a deep smile as if he was enjoying the current situation so much.
The outstanding alchemist was good at improvisation.
You can make a potion similar to an unknown potion with only the ingredients you have never seen before.
This was possible because I quickly grasped the properties of the materials and completely put the effects of those properties in my head.
Of course, Professor Wooregeol didn’t expect the freshn to make the perfect potion.
How many potion properties can you notice and make as close to them as possible?
That was the crux of this test.
“ruler. You better move fast Isn’t ti infinite?”
“Mmm.”
Lee Han seed to be thinking deeply about sothing.
Professor Lee Han, who is one of the most outstanding students in the alchemy lecture, did not move and continued to think about it.
‘What are you thinking about?’
It’s not enough to figure out the characteristics of the ingredients and the characteristics of the potion quickly, so I’m worried about it like that.
I didn’t understand.
“professor.”
“Why?”
“Can I use any of the materials in the room?”
“Are you going to use any of the ingredients you have?”
The thunder walk professor snorted.
I don’t know what kind of material he had to say that, but it was most likely useless.
If you were really lucky and had useful materials, Professor Wooregeol thought he would admit it.
If you’re that lucky, you can do anything!
“Do whatever you want.”
“All right.”
Lee Han rushed like lightning and snatched the potion from Thunderwalker’s hand.
Thunderstruck was so taken aback by the sudden surprise that he stayed still and ca to his senses belatedly.
“…hey!!!”
