Chapter 010
“Is that so? professor.”
Lee Han did not show his emotions on his face.
Dealing with crazy professors is not a day or two, but it’s not like a kid.
“Certainly, I think you can get good grades in alchemy lectures if you have passion and affection.”
‘After this lecture, I will never listen again.’
“Did you think so too?”
Thunderstruck swiped under his nose with a pleased expression.
“Then listen.”
“…Because I haven’t taken another lecture yet…”
“Ah. done listen No other lecture could be better than this one.”
“No, listen to everything…”
“No! You must listen!”
Lee Han gradually felt that he had been caught incorrectly.
The other students next to him were staring at Lee Han with jealous expressions.
-As expected, the Wardanaz family…
-It’s a great talent…
‘It pisses me off even more.’
Professor Wooregeol looked around and said.
“Today’s lecture should end here. Unfortunately, the group that went elsewhere didn’t meet the pig.”
“……”
“…Professor. Could it be that you intentionally let me meet the pig?”
One of the students said in a shocked voice.
The horse was a pig, but that was the same as a male monster.
Had he been unlucky, he could have broken his bones and ruptured his intestines and died.
He replied as if the thunderous step was natural.
“Then, could it be that they only let me gather herbs? Of course, you have to face situations that you may experience while gathering herbs.”
“That… that…”
“That’s right. hey. Could the professor send it without any preparation? He must have been following us all along.”
“Ah…”
said one of the students, and everyone agreed.
Certainly…
“Isn’t it? Why would I follow you?”
Professor Dwarf looked at him as if he was talking about something.
“I came here because the pig collapsed.”
“What… what if there’s a big accident?!”
“Then you probably don’t have the talent for alchemy.”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han seemed to hear the voices of the students gathered here.
‘A bitch…!’
“It is the talent of an alchemist to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, whether grabbing, avoiding, fleeing, or hiding. iron heads. Got it?”
“yes!”
“Um… then you don’t need Dok Ocho?”
Yoner carefully raised his hand and asked. Thunderwalker said with a surprised expression.
“You found Dok Ocho?”
“yes.”
“Oops. I really didn’t know how to find it. you pass too! ruler. come here. You must listen, too.”
“……”
Yoner was suddenly dragged away.
“I did not find it alone. I also found Nilia over there.”
“okay? you pass too! Come here!”
The thunderous step pulled Nilia this time. Nilia put on a face that didn’t know whether she should like it or not.
“And also Wodanaj here…”
“You really, really should listen!”
“……”
Lee Han half gave up.
At this point it was impossible to escape.
‘I’m exhausted.’
No matter how much you don’t attend classes, there’s nothing good about getting caught by a professor.
If I didn’t listen here, this dwarf professor might come to another classroom.
“…I will do my best to listen. Alchemy was my dream!”
“guy…!”
Thunderstruck grinned. I read the change in Lee Han’s emotions.
Among the freshmen in this position, Lee Han was the most mentally mature.
He obviously didn’t really want to take the alchemy class, but when he realized that he couldn’t avoid it, he quickly accepted it and changed his attitude.
People from aristocratic families couldn’t hide their true feelings well.
Since he had never had to hide his emotions in his entire life, he hadn’t practiced putting up with it in that way at all.
From that point of view, Lee Han was really interesting.
“You have nothing to be too sorry about. Alchemy lectures have privileges.”
Thunderstruck decided to appease Lee Han.
It was a world where it was difficult to find disciples.
Just as students evaluate lectures, professors evaluate students.
If there was a disciple I liked, I had to hold onto it like a thunderclap.
However, holding on to it forcibly could backfire and cause them to escape.
Carrots were the best.
“What privilege?”
“There is my cabin near the forest. Normally, I don’t let you approach it, but since you caught a pig and saved Poison Pocho, I’ll let you approach it freely during this semester as a special benefit.”
“…??”
I wondered what kind of bullshit Lee Han was.
What a privilege to visit the professor’s house.
‘Are you talking about enjoying the privilege of cleaning, the privilege of sorting, and the privilege of being a slave?’
“…ah. I have given too little explanation.”
Looking at Lee Han’s eyes, Thunderwalker noticed what he was thinking. Professor Dwarf hastily added his words.
“Do you know what ironheads want most?”
“Isn’t it an easy lecture to get credit for?”
“…Are you really from the Wardanaz family? That’s not bad either, but the answer is eat. Right now, their complexion is bad, but in a week or so they will try to eat each other.”
“……”
Thunderstep’s words were persuasive.
More than 80% of the students gathered here were those who ate well and lived well.
If I accepted such students and gave them only hard black bread and cold rice balls, of course I couldn’t help but suffer.
“But in my cabin I have meat and fish from the woods, spices and vegetables from secret places I know. Do you know what this means?”
“…!”
Only then did Lee Han realize.
A kind of buffet ticket!
“professor!”
“this guy. I like it more and more.”
The two priests held hands and exchanged warm friendship.
* * *
After class, while the students moved to find the next lecture (some students were muttering, ‘Let’s hear it again’), Lee Han stayed still.
Yoner and Nilia asked curiously.
“Aren’t you going?”
“I’m going to dismember the pig.”
“……”
“……”
“Excellent!”
I admired the thunderous steps alone.
I’ve never seen a freshman who adapts so quickly.
“professor. Is it okay to eat this?”
“It only became ferocious, but there is no problem with eating.”
“okay. Could you lend me some equipment so I can dismantle and smoke it…?”
“this guy. Alchemy is already improving, isn’t it?”
“yes. Alchemy is really good.”
Adapting to reality, Lee Han decided to love alchemy.
‘If the professor’s words are true, it’s not a matter of waiting quietly.’
Come to think of it, there was a hint.
From when he entered school, from the principal saying, ‘The answer is in this school, find it’, to the rule of not giving anything and forbidding going out.
New students must find something to eat and endure!
‘I wonder if there are all these schools…but honestly, I’m not really surprised anymore.’
It wasn’t surprising that the school took care of itself even if people died.
Lee Han carried each pig on his back and went to the stream.
A place with water was good to drain the blood and dismember the intestines.
“I will help you.”
Yoner rolled up his sleeves and approached.
“Are you okay?”
“In the future, I will have to deal with more materials than this, but what? Would you like some meat instead?”
“……”
Yihan seemed to hear Yoner growling in his stomach.
Nilia stayed behind and said something absurd.
“Are you two really going to break up!?”
“okay.”
“No… why at school…”
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“…good! I’ll help you!”
Lee Han also learned how to hunt and dismantle while working with Allarron, and Nilia was literally an expert.
In addition, Yoner was not an amateur as he practiced handling materials many times.
“The equipment is here. That should be enough.”
Thunderwalk brought the necessary equipment. Their eyes were full of interest, ‘Let’s see where and how’.
Lee Han pulled out his dagger and peeled off his skin.
Suddenly –
‘Are you good at it?’
Nilia was honestly surprised.
He didn’t know that Lee Han, who was from a great noble family, would be as good as Nilia.
The three worked together to skin the skin, then sort the flesh and hang it on a tree branch.
There were a lot of edible parts because it was so big, but Lee Han didn’t throw away the intestines either.
‘The intestines must be made of sausage.’
Since you don’t know how long this hellish freshman life will last, the more groceries you make, the better.
“Are you going to smoke?”
“yes.”
“quite…!”
The thunderous step was admirable.
I couldn’t just leave all this meat alone. No matter how cool the weather is, it will go bad after a while.
However, if the meat is smoked and smoked, it lasts much longer. It was a very good method for freshmen.
“professor. I will use this piece of wood.”
“Sleep… wait.”
When Lee Han put his hand on the wood he had piled up near the hut, his steps were taken aback.
The smoke was not made of any wood. As much as it was done with smoke, the more fragrant the wood, the better.
‘It’s a high-quality apple tree firewood that I prepared with great effort…’
Lee Han took it again, whether he has a knack for recognizing good things. The thunderous step licked his lips with regret.
“Nilia. Will this be enough?”
“Not enough. Garage overflowing.”
Smoke rose thickly and the smell of meat stung my nostrils. Beads of sweat formed on the foreheads of the hardworking three.
Growling-
Lee Han looked away. It wasn’t Yoner, and it wasn’t Nylia either.
It was a dwarf professor.
“…Are you hungry?”
“okay. I must go out.”
Lee Han stood up from his seat. Graduate students move automatically when the professor is hungry.
‘There’s a lot of meat, so I’ll have to grill some.’
“professor. Some bread and butter…”
“…Take it in moderation…”
Thunderwalker grumbled, but since it was a meal he ate himself, he said nothing more.
Lee Han placed the meat on a cast iron frying pan. Even when I put the meat, I just didn’t put it on. Seasoned properly with salt and pepper.
Jumulleok Jumulleok-
“What are you doing?”
“I’m working on it.”
“?”
I thought Lee Han was preparing for the thunder walk in a very unique way.
Just bake it…
And even then, Lee Han didn’t stop. I made cuts on the meat, put oil on a frying pan, and put the meat on it.
The smell of cooking meat wafted through the air. Lee Han put the vegetables he had brought from the side of the hut on top of the frying pan.
“Why are you stopping??”
When Lee Han stopped grilling, Professor Dwarf was taken aback. It is still immature.
“It’s better if you put butter like this.”
“You’re not trying to say that you don’t have any talent for alchemy, right?”
Thunderstruck threw a suspicious gaze. I had no intention of dropping it like that.
“Try it and say something like that.”
When the meat was browned, a fairly plausible meal was completed.
Pork steak and grilled vegetables. And thick bread and butter from the hut.
It wasn’t freshly baked bread, but this was enough for freshmen who only ate black bread.
Waguwagu- It
suddenly became quiet.
All four of them were busy eating.
The best thing to eat was the thunder walk.
Professor Dwarf tore off a handful of bread, sandwiched a large piece of grilled pork between them, and ate it happily.
Then he walked alone to the cabin and came out with a jar of jam.
“……”
“……”
“…I’ll give it to you little by little, so don’t look at me like that. You iron heads.”
