Chapter 123
“That’s not it!!”
“yes?”
“I said you can use all the ingredients in this room, but don’t you think it makes sense to steal the potion and just hand it in!”
Professor Lee Han hesitated at Professor Thunder Walk’s protest and looked at Professor Thunder Walk as if he were a strange person.
Professor Woorestep was embarrassed and asked again.
“…isn’t that what you meant?”
“no. No, who steals the potion and submits it like that? The professor is also really…”
At Lee Han’s words, Professor Woorestep was embarrassed and then suddenly burst into tears.
‘No, this bastard stole it by force and now who is he doing that to?’
It was dumbfounded to suddenly treat myself as a strange person on the subject of stealing the potion from the hands of the professor.
If it weren’t for the possibility that the disciple would later become the first sword of the Empire, he would have hit him once.
“Then why did you take it away?”
“This is to analyze the potion more accurately. If I asked the professor for the potion, I thought that there was a high possibility that the professor would not give it to me.”
“Um…”
That was right.
Because I thought I would never give it to my disciples even if they asked for it.
But it wasn’t that it wasn’t sarcastic. Professor Woore-geol felt more disgusted with the disciple who said the right thing today.
“joy. Where do you do well?”
Professor Wooreeul crossed his arms and glared at Lee Han.
Stealing the potion was unexpected, but even then, making the same potion was still difficult.
Even if you obtained a potion, analyzing and understanding its characteristics is a completely different thing.
‘I’m sure you’re not drinking ignorantly…’
Professor Thunderwalk was nervous.
Of course, the clever Wardanaj boy couldn’t have been like that, but it was also true that he sometimes did crazy things casually.
It’s not strange to drink it right away!
However, contrary to Professor Wooregeol’s concerns, Lee Han took a very standard approach.
‘That way?’
Lee Han took out a few drops of the potion from the glass bottle and dropped it on the floor.
Then he swung his staff and chanted a spell.
“Ingredients. Be separate.”
‘I learned that magic!’
Professor Wooreegeeol was surprised.
< Ingredient separation > magic.
It was a magic that forcibly separated the ingredients in a potion or something.
It was a convenient magic that any alchemist could use, but Professor Thunderwalker didn’t bother to teach it.
To become an outstanding alchemist, you must have the passion to discover and learn on your own.
You couldn’t become an outstanding alchemist if the professor fed you.
Lee Han learned magic by searching the books in the library on his own, befitting Professor Thunderwalk’s educational view.
Seeing that, Professor Woorestep nodded.
‘Because he looks like a nasty guy!’
The thunder walk professor prayed that Lee Han would drink the acrid smoke and cough.
Fortunately, < Ingredient Separation > magic was never an easy magic.
It was easy to separate if the ingredients inside were clearly known, but if not, it was not easy to separate.
Magic was not a universal key that could solve anything just by knowing how to recite a spell.
Even if it is the same magic, it is greatly influenced by the knowledge and skill of the magician who uses the magic.
If you don’t forcibly pour magic power into ignorance to separate the ingredients, the problem that can be solved by simply reciting a spell…
“Ah.”
Professor Thunderstruck realized belatedly and hesitated.
And the droplets of potion hanging on the floor began to slowly separate.
* * *
‘It’s working better than I thought.’
Yihan and Yoner were students who were more serious about alchemy than anyone else in the tower.
Apart from other things, he had no choice but to analyze the potions that Ratford had stolen.
< Ingredient Separation > magic was also a magic learned during the process.
The other day, while looking through an alchemy book, I found the name, and after combing through other books, I managed to learn the spell.
I was worried if it would be okay, but luckily the magic worked better than I thought.
The drop of the potion split into smaller multi-colored drops.
Lee Han raised his head and looked at Professor Thunderwalker.
‘hmm. That’s right.’
Seeing the disapproval on Professor Thunder’s face, it seemed certain that things went well.
“I commend you for separating the potion that far.”
“thank you.”
“But that’s not enough. There will be no way to determine the isolated components!”
“uh. Isn’t this a potion of confidence?”
“????”
Professor Wooreegeol was surprised.
How did know?!
* * *
Nilia, who took the test before Lee Han, was sitting and talking with Ratford.
“Have you succeeded in matching the colors? How great?”
“I was lucky.”
“I don’t think I made anything similar…”
“Nothing to worry about. This was a test that no one could produce perfect results. The professor must have seen the course too.”
At Ratford’s consolation, Nylia nodded as if she had regained her energy.
“But why did you walk around the night school without me the other day?”
“……”
Ratford broke out in a sweat.
“That… I told you. This is… Salko of the Tutanta family is a friend with subordinates whom he can trust and trust. I was also called as a guide. Even Wodanaz-nim didn’t know. If it had been just us, of course we would have called.”
“ah. really. It did.”
Nilia nodded again in agreement.
And after talking about the alchemy class for about ten minutes, Nilia asked again.
“But still, couldn’t I have called before we left?”
“…”
Ratford stared at the door involuntarily.
‘When will Mr. Wardanaz come out?’
This was not something Ratford could convince. Lee Han had to come out.
“what do you think about it? huh? What do you think?”
“That’s because Salcho has a bad temper…”
Ratford originally didn’t have a big grudge against Salcho, but he couldn’t help it in the current situation.
I have no choice but to drive Salco as a bad guy.
“Why don’t you give me a chance to do that at all…”
“The island was like that the other day. I prepared everything, but I went with my friends from the White Tiger Tower? What do you think about this?”
“Those… White Tiger Tower guys are originally violent and despicable, aren’t they?”
Ratford didn’t hold much grudge against the White Tiger Tower friends, but he couldn’t help it once again.
I have no choice but to drive as a bad guy again.
“I don’t think it could have been helped from Wardanaz-sama’s point of view.”
“Well, that was unavoidable, wasn’t it?”
“yes. So, let’s stop this topic…”
“Yes. … Did I grumble too much?”
Nylia asked if she was aware of the grumbling. Ratford shook his head quickly.
“no?”
“okay? Good luck then.”
Nilia talked about alchemy for another fifteen minutes.
How was this test, what the assignments were like, what the midterms were like…
Other Black Turtle Tower students who came out after the exams also joined the conversation and offered their opinions.
Ratford was relieved that the topic had been completely off topic.
“But this is not my story, it is my friend’s story. He said that friends from other towers keep forgetting about him.”
“……”
Ratford bowed his head.
The Black Turtle Top friends, who do not know the exact circumstances, seriously participated in the trouble.
“Isn’t it because it’s a different tower? The other top guys are basically rude, cocky, or arrogant.”
“At least the Phoenix Tower is better.”
“The White Tiger Tower guys are really unlucky.”
While Ratford was thinking about how to change the subject, Lee Han opened the door and came out.
Ratford welcomed Lee Han like the hot soup he obtained after starving for several days.
“Wardanaz-sama…!”
‘Was the test that hard?’
Lee Han was slightly taken aback when Ratford called out in a watery voice.
“What is going on?”
“Please explain to Nilia what happened last time.”
“what’s the matter. Ratford. I understand everything.”
Neilia’s expression didn’t change and she scolded Ratford as if asking what she was talking about.
Ratford opened his mouth in remorse and looked at Nylia.
‘Is that the behavior of someone who understands everything…!?’
Lee Han looked at Nilia and Ratford and quickly understood the situation.
He had been preparing for this situation ever since he walked the Tutanta family Salko and the night school.
“Nilia. Salco was a bit too much. I asked to call him, but he stubbornly blocked me saying no.”
“!”
“?”
Ratford tilted his head.
Have you ever had such a conversation?
“I heard that when you have a background as an excellent hunter like you, other friends lose their confidence.”
“Is it?”
Nilia’s long ears perked up slightly.
Lee Han nodded with a very serious expression.
Even Ratford, who was in the same seat, thought, ‘I think there was a conversation like that’.
“They didn’t even let me call Yoner. Is it too much salcho? Don’t say too much though. You did it for your friends.”
“…okay. That’s right!”
Nilia answered with a face that was noticeably brighter than before. The angle of the ears was also much higher.
Ratford whispered softly.
“Did you have that conversation?”
“Shh. Be quite.”
“……”
The Black Turtle Tower students saw Lee Han and called out.
“Wardanaz. how was the exam Have you ever perfected the potion?”
“No way. It’s an impossible test in the first place. It failed.”
The other students were relieved by Lee Han’s words.
It was a little relieved to see Lee Han, the most honorable student, say that.
Maybe it’s not as ruined as I thought!
“What qualities did you all notice? I put in pindensis because it stung my nose.”
“Is it? I tried to match the colors, so I focused on similar colors…”
While the students were talking, Han Lee listened in silence.
In the meantime, Yoner, who took the last test, walked out of the door.
“Everyone suffered. Of course, the potions you made would be stabbed if sold anywhere, but it’s true that you worked hard.”
The students glared at the professor’s words. Professor Dwarf burst into laughter as if he were having fun.
“Honestly, the test was too difficult. professor!”
“Shouldn’t it come out at least within the range we learned?”
“Here, Wodanaz also failed, so who can get this right!”
Students desperately protested that such a test would appear in the midterm exam.
Professor Thunderstruck, who was listening with a smile, asked what he was talking about.
“What are you talking about, Wardanaz almost succeeded?”
“yes?”
“Almost succeeded. There were minor differences, but that was a success. It is the highest score.”
The students of the Black Turtle Tower, who had just been talking together, turned their heads and looked for Lee Han.
However, because Lee Han had already left the place, he could not be seen.
Thunderwalker clicked his tongue and said.
“To believe the words of a friend who studies better than you. You are so naive.”
“…Keugh…!”
“Wardanaz…! I believed…!”
* * *
Lee Han read the things he had written on the paper and was immersed in thought.
Now, the new students of the magic school were spreading here and there like ink drops in water.
And Lee Han was the one who was most actively going around the school.
Haunted Corridor on the 2nd Floor West of the Main Building (Unsolved) – Rumor has it that there is a pile of cloth storage on the school side.
Prison with a lock on the first basement floor of the main building (solution) – connected to the professor’s office. never approach.
Main building…
‘It’s interesting, but I want to check the way to the stable in the spire first.’
Seeing Lee Han drawing maps and taking notes on paper, Gainando asked.
“But are you okay with Professor Garcia’s exam?”
“I’m a little anxious, but I’ve roughly prepared everything.”
“……”
Gainando looked at Lee Han like a monster.
Then he muttered.
“The Wardanaz family… It’s really scary!”
“Doesn’t it have nothing to do with the Wodanaz family?”
