Chapter 397
But the always ominous premonitions matched well.
“Right? How did you know?”
“……”
Lee Han, who went to Professor Thunderwalk and asked a question just in case he didn’t know, was taken aback.
Professor Voladi would not have been so surprised.
Because I already had a record in the first semester.
Even if it was Professor Ingeldell, he would have been convinced, but even Professor Thunderwalker did this!
“Why do you need an outsider to learn alchemy?”
“Yes, the world of alchemy is vast and endless… It is necessary to learn the secrets of other alchemists as well as the secrets recorded in Einrogard?”
Professor Wooreegeol asked back as if asking why this was so obvious.
In response, Lee Han had nothing to say.
‘Well, that’s true.’
It was something I felt while working in a studio during vacation, but no matter what field, magic was endless.
Right now, even in alchemy, there were secret recipes and recipes developed professionally by Workshop A, and there were magics only used by Guild B.
If you can learn these things, it was right to invite anyone from the outside.
“sorry. professor. I must have been prejudiced because other wicked people invited outsiders and forced them to a confrontation.”
Lee Han sincerely apologized.
Then, the thunder walk averted his gaze with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“…professor??”
“Uh… I’ll tell you in advance, I didn’t invite outsiders because I wanted to bully you guys like the principal did.”
“I said they were evil people, not the principal…”
“But in the end, the confrontation is right.”
“……”
As Lee Han stared at him, Professor Thunderwalker hurriedly continued.
“I didn’t do it because I liked it!”
“Yeah, the principal often said that…”
“Alchemists are eccentric! Do you think you can just learn the secrets for nothing in return? No matter how high Einrogard’s name is, that’s not it!”
In fact, not only alchemists, but all wizards were eccentric in their own way.
However, it is people’s mind that crazy people in their field look like the most crazy.
The imperial alchemists invited by Thunderwalk this time weren’t easy enough to be persuaded by money, honor, or threats from the Skull Headmaster.
The only way to get the secret from them is to directly convince them with your skills.
“It’s a showdown after all, right?”
“That’s true, but strictly speaking, it’s a bit different from other professors…”
“Still, it’s like a confrontation.”
Professor Wooreegeol cursed Lee Han inwardly.

Not long after, Professor Wooregeol announced the truth in an alchemy lecture.
-It will be a very valuable opportunity for you to bring in the alchemists of the Imperial Paragranum Guild like this today.
– Paragranum Guild!! Is it the guild that created the cure for blue blood disease two years ago?
– You got it right.
– What an honor!
-okay. right? So, everyone, work hard and give us a shot.
-yes?
Students did not understand at first.
It wasn’t even during the exam period, but I had to show something to the famous alchemists in the empire and be recognized for my skills.
I was learning alchemy diligently after starting the second semester, but what kind of lightning strike did this mean?
-That… Can’t we just take the test?
-I’ll take the test during the midterm, but what?
– Even if you don’t get recognition, are you not going to be evaluated in your lecture grades?
– Could that be?
Students who chose the alchemy lecture had to walk out with a depressed expression.
In fact, it wasn’t just the students taking the alchemy lecture that were depressed. Students in other classes were similarly depressed.
After more than two weeks of the second semester, the professors gradually began to show their true colors and raise the level of difficulty.
Most of the students denied that they could believe it, but it was right that the professors in the first semester were considerate of the new students and taught them kindly.
“Who are you looking for?”
“ah. Priest Nigisore.”
Lee Han looked around and found the fire spirit half-breed priest and waved his hand.
“I was thinking of asking the kids at the Blue Dragon Tower who are learning alchemy what they would do. After talking for a while, he came out and he was already gone.”
“Ah… the people of the Blue Dragon Tower returned earlier. I heard you say, but you said you would go back and lie down because standing still will make you hungry.”
“What a funny joke.”
“?”
“…wasn’t that a joke? I must go to the dormitory.”
Lee Han decided to visit the Phoenix Tower after grabbing some snacks.
And Priest Nigisor followed after Lee Han.
“Uh, do you have something to say?”
“ah. This time it’s my turn, so I’m acting together.”
“…That’s right.”
Lee Han packed his things with Priest Nigisor and headed for the Blue Dragon Tower.
Priest Nigisor asked for help to create enough flame to burn the world while walking, but Lee Han ignored it.
* * *
Asan Dalcard was lying in the break room, staring blankly at his friends and playing with a quill.
The third weekend of the second semester is approaching. When I finish today’s assignment, I intend to eat the piece of bread I’ve been saving.
At first, I thought it was the principal’s conspiracy that the school year started without Wardanaj. They didn’t see us living comfortably and comfortably, and thought they were playing tricks.
But I didn’t know. That a person can discover his true self by facing harsh despair.
Now, the Blue Dragon Tower is filled with the intensity and fighting spirit of a sharpened and polished life. ah! Other nobles in the empire would never know this real life…
In front of them, they were fighting over a potato and killing each other with chess, but Asan pretended not to see it.
Maybe this is real life…
“Moon card. Lee Han is calling.”
“Why are you saying that now!”
Asan threw the book he was holding onto the floor and hurriedly ran out.
Outside, students from the Blue Dragon Tower who were already studying alchemy were gathered.
“Still, everyone’s complexion is a little better as much as they listen to alchemy.”
Being talented in alchemy is knowing how to find something edible among the plants around you.
Even if the Blue Dragon Tower students lack vitality, among them, those who learn alchemy are a bit better…
Plop!
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the students fell to the side. Yoner said calmly.
“I must have been dizzy.”
“…let’s all eat and talk for a while.”
Lee Han spread plenty of jam and butter on the sliced bread and served it out to his friends.
Suddenly the surroundings became quiet.
It wasn’t because the magic was cast, it was because everyone was too focused on eating.
Feeling slightly overwhelmed by that figure, Lee Han asked Yoner.
“Is it… this bad?”
“Everyone must have been rather hungry.”
Fortunately, Yoner didn’t look too strange other than looking tired.
In fact, all Einrogard students who did not give up on their studies felt tired.
“Alchemy people too?”
“Uh… um… That… It’s different to find it yourself.”
Yoner turned around because he didn’t want to criticize his friends’ skills, but Lee Han understood right away.
“Could it be that you used a servant to get the ingredients when you were in the mansion?!”
“…keek kek.”
“Cool, cool.”
The surroundings were so quiet that Lee Han’s cry was especially loud. The students choked and coughed.
“Ha, I won’t be a servant… Wodanaz… I’m sorry…” “
…No. I’m sorry. Drink milk.”
Lee Han poured a glass of milk. Looking to the side, the princess was staring at the jar of milk with desperate eyes beyond words.
“……”
Lee Han followed the princess. The opponent’s face brightened.
“Don’t your followers give you something to eat?”
“He’s not Cainan, and he’s not the kind of person who would steal from his followers.”
“Oh… I’d rather be in Gainan-do, I’d be more comfortable.”
“right.”
The princess wanted to reply to the whispers of Lee Han and Yoner, but couldn’t think of anything, so she held back and drank milk.
“Priest Nigisor. Can I hear you?”
“It’s okay. Rather, I would like to pray.”
“pray?”
Lee Han recalled the prayers of the Afha Church.
As a denomination that worships fire, the priest’s prayers require fire.
“I tried to light the fire to prepare alchemy, but it went well. prepare together What can I do?”
At Lee Han’s words, Priest Nigisor smiled.
As can be seen from the fact that he came to the temple during vacation to help with the work of the Order, this genius from the Blue Dragon Tower was the one who matched Aphha the most.
“All you have to do is do it in the order you tell them. ruler. First, take out the window charcoal powder…”
It was possible to light a fire with a magician’s wand, but the priests of the church did not.
Direct preparation is also sincere, but in the process of preparing in this way, the intensity and nature of the flame could be adjusted.
A mixture of charcoal powder and some metal powder was piled on the floor, and Priest Nigisor lit it.
Then, a flame that emits a different color than usual was born. Lee Han admired and called his friends.
“Isn’t this fire amazing? The attributes of magical power that I can feel…”
While speaking, Lee Han felt embarrassed when he realized that all of his friends in the Blue Dragon Tower were eating bread and not paying attention to him.
“I am having fun.”
“Yoner…”
Lee Han almost shed tears.
Priest Nigisor, who had finished lighting the fire, asked.
“Would you like to pray one more time?”
“I will.”
There was nothing difficult, so Lee Han stood in front.
After devoting magic power and concentrating on it, it changed into divine power and returned.
Originally, I should have asked Priest Nigisor about the sacred magic of the Afha Church, but this time I didn’t.
After failing a few times, he was convinced that divine magic would not succeed so quickly.
However, at that moment, the divine power left Lee Han’s control and began to move freely.
In a way, it was similar to instinct.
As if the hand goes to the sword first before thinking with the head when encountering an enemy who scatters death, the divine power began to flow ahead of Lee Han’s will.
‘what…?!’
Even before Lee Han’s surprise was over, the divine power magically intertwined with the warp and weft and changed reality.
Pod!
The flame in front of Lee Han suddenly turned white and burned fiercely. Upon seeing this, Priest Nigisor opened his eyes wide and exclaimed with joy.
“also!!! I knew that too!”
“This can’t be right now…”
“That’s right!! Are you all watching?”
Priest Nigisor was so excited that he shook and turned his head away.
I wanted to share this beautiful miracle with someone else.
“…see! Look at me!!!”
“???”
Friends who ate bread were embarrassed when the priest suddenly shouted.
Why are you like that?
“This miracle??”
“fire… Is it fire?”
“It’s a white light!”
“Is it magic?”
“It’s not magic…!”
While Priest Nigisor pounded his chest in frustration and tried to explain, Lee Han looked at the flames with a bewildered expression.
Unlike magic, even though divine magic manifested, I couldn’t figure out how it was done.
It was like throwing a pebble and putting it right into the hatched circle.
Sensational magic that makes it impossible to explain exactly how he did it, even though he did it himself.
‘Did the properties of the flame change?’
Lee Han felt a wave of strange magic power in the white flame.
It was never ordinary as it was a flame whose properties were converted with divine magic.
“…uh. for a moment. Priest of Nigisore. The flames that have been changed by divine magic might be a bit easier to control, though?”
“You’ve never heard of that?”
“Thank you…”
Lee Han was bitter.
To be honest, I wanted the power to control the flames rather than the power to strengthen them.
Ganghwa is still really big…
“Lee Han. But is it okay to succeed like this?”
When Yoner tilted his head and asked, Lee Han was puzzled.
“why?”
“I thought you were failing on purpose.”
“Can I fail on purpose? There is no other reason than that.”
“I thought it was because the other priests of the Phoenix Tower would be disappointed if that one… succeeded.”
“Haha. Priests are that narrow-minded…”
Lee Han’s face hardened as he said.
