Chapter 344
“That’s right!”
“……”
When Rowena answered quickly instead, Lee Han looked at him with a shocked look.
However, Rowena did not notice Lee Han’s gaze and continued to speak with a happy face.
“Here, Wodanaz is favored by the professor even though he studies other magic as well.”
‘All the guys in the White Tiger Tower really don’t care.’
Han Lee lamented inwardly.
I don’t even know if the other person is Professor Verdus’s enemy or friend, but what if he suddenly says that he is a disciple?
“Right.”
“Does Puyo know Professor Verdus?”
“You tried to cut my body before.”
“……”
“……”
The atmosphere became chilly.
The princess and Lee Han looked at Rowena at the same time.
It was the look in his eyes that said, ‘What are you going to do with this atmosphere?
Unlike Lee Han, who can quickly mediate between demons in Hell, Rowena did not have such a talent.
Rowena didn’t know what to do, but finally uttered a word.
“Well… are you cut?”
“…Hey… that’s not true…”
It was such a ridiculous sound that even Ctran stuck out his tongue.
The unseen Lee Han intervened.
“It’s really unbelievable. No matter how you try to cut someone else’s body. Even though I am learning under the professor, I have always thought that the professor’s behavior was not right.”
“That’s right. And Wardanaj doesn’t get favored because he wants it. What kind of madman would want to work for a professor on vacation.”
When Cltran made an excuse, he waved his hand as if he had become Puyo.
“Just because you have a grudge with the teacher, you don’t hold a grudge against the disciple. And it’s not that I don’t understand Professor Verdus. Even if you were like me, you would have wanted to cut it. The body of a mixed-blood tree spirit is a precious material.”
Usually, mixed spirit spirits appeared because there were people who contracted with spirits during the ancestors.
The power contained in the blood is expressed in the next generation, and it is often awakened as a mixed blood.
As such, the body of a mixed spirit spirit was a precious material.
‘hmm. You’re crazy.’
Of course, such an explanation did not convince the students.
The moment Puyo said, ‘If you were like me, you would have wanted to cut it.
‘Are all grant wizards crazy people?’
“I’m curious about something other than what happened between me and Professor Verdus. Are you being favored by Professor Verdus?”
“It’s a bit exaggerated.”
“Have you ever met outside of class?”
“Uh… yes.”
“Have you ever met separately and worked together?”
“That… yes.”
“Did you let me work in Professor Verdus’ studio by any chance?”
“No… that’s…”
“Isn’t that a question that just needs a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer?”
“…yes.”
“It’s true that you are favored.”
Lee Han was sincerely sorry, but he couldn’t come up with anything to refute.
“Professor Verdus doesn’t usually treat his students that way. You must be very talented.”
“It’s because of magic.”
Lee Han started to explain.
I have a lot of magic, so Professor Verdus is aiming for that magic like a bully…
Puyo nodded in surprise after hearing the explanation.
“So it was!”
“yes. Professor Verdus…”
“Ah. That wasn’t the sound. I felt a bloody intimidation when you came in.”
“……”
Lee Han belatedly remembered that Puyo was of mixed spirit blood.
I thought there was no problem because there was nothing…
“Is that so?”
“It did. But nothing to worry about. I’ve met many customers who are more dangerous than you.”
“Not very comforting.”
Lee Han became bitter.
‘It’s okay! ‘Because I’m better than the best criminals in the empire!’
“But it is a little strange. No matter how much magic power Professor Verdus has in his personality, he wouldn’t let an incompetent student participate in his work.”
“I guess you needed that much magic.”
Lee Han grumbled cynically, but instead of accepting it, Puyo was curious.
“Did you say freshman? How many circle enchantments did you succeed in?”
“…4…”
“What? I couldn’t hear you.”
“Four… Circles…”
There was silence for a moment.
Everyone from Lee Han’s friends to Puyo stared at Lee Han.
No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t magic at the level that a freshman could already succeed.
“Right.”
“As for how that happened…”
“No. It’s okay if you don’t even say that.”
Puyo, who was not very curious about the circumstances behind the scenes, cut off Lee Han’s words.
Whether Professor Verdus forced him to do it or Lee Han was lucky, the important thing was that he succeeded.
It was enough to know that. Why is the circumstances involved in it so important?
“If you were working with Professor Verdus, you must have made a few simple artifacts. what did you make?”
Puyo took up a piece of paper and a quill and asked a question.
Lee Han answered carefully.
“I made magic firecrackers.”
“Magic firecrackers. It must have been difficult for a freshman.”
“??”
Cltran, who was listening, asked in a puzzled way.
“Was there anything like that in the lecture?”
“I was called separately and made it.”
“……”
‘How many times has this bastard called Wardanaz?’
Surely each day would be the same as 24 hours, but something was strange.
Why does Wardanaj’s day seem to be several times longer than others?
“Magic firecrackers… was that the end?”
“Do you have a shield? Mr. Wodanaz.”
Rowena whispered. Lee Han answered softly.
“Thank you very much.”
“…what am I doing wrong…”
“Shield? What shield is it?”
“That float and automatic defense…”
“You did a reflex too.”
“Reflections?!”
When Cltran intervened, Lee Han closed his eyes.
‘I think I know why the Blue Dragon Tower and the White Tiger Tower fight every time.’
“I did the reflection separately…”
“The reflection properties… I was honestly surprised.”
The faster Puyo’s quill moved, the more Yihan became anxious.
Usually, professors do things like that often, but after doing that, there weren’t many good times for Lee Han.
Puyo persisted in asking, then satisfactorily put down the quill.
“indeed. I can see why Professor Verdus worked together.”
“Professor has never said anything nice to me…”
“That’s probably because of Professor Verdus’ personality. You can tell by actions, not words. I’ve heard many times that the students of Einrogard are excellent, but I’m really surprised. Hmm… would you like to come this way?”
Puyo pointed to the inside of the workshop, which he had not allowed before.
Seeing this, Lee Han felt ominous.
It was a similar feeling to when Professor Verdus called Lee Han.
“Puyo. Can the princess come with me too?”
“?!”
The princess, thinking that Lee Han had gone to the back of the studio, was taken aback.
“Wardanaz-sama…!”
“This wordanaz is considerate.”
Rowena and Cltran admired Lee Han’s thoughtfulness.
To have the opportunity to visit Puyo’s studio with a friend.
However, the princess had a different idea from the two.
I had a strong feeling that Lee Han had called because he didn’t want to be dragged away alone.
“Do whatever you want. I didn’t ask, but I’m sure you don’t have skills.”
“It’s okay. Let’s go.”
The princess nodded at Lee Han’s words and reflected a little.
To doubt the goodwill of a friend who is doing you kindness purely out of feeling.
It was an arrogant act unacceptable for a member of the royal family.
“…Thank you for inviting me.”
“no. Instead, if Puyo-nim tells you to work, let’s do it together.”
“…!!”
The princess looked at Lee Han, who was leading the way with a shocked expression on her face.
I…?!
* * *
“Take a look at these wands.”
Puyo held out the wood along with the painted paper.
Lee Han and the princess sat on chairs inside the studio and quietly started working.
Lee Han seemed to be staring at the princess from the side, but he ignored it as if he didn’t see it.
‘I guess I’ll avoid staring at her until she leaves.’
Originally, when the professor called, I liked going with other friends.
Because he could divide the work and, above all, he could escape by leaving his friend as the scapegoat if the worst happened.
Of course, there was a minor problem that my friend might resent.
“Excellent.”
Puyo was satisfied with the work of the two students.
In the case of Lee Han, I had high expectations not only from what I had just heard, but also from Professor Verdus’ guarantee, and he did not disappoint them at all.
At this level, it was much better than the half-hearted newcomer magician.
It was the same in the case of the princess.
I was worried about whether it would be okay just listening to what the other followers said, but seeing how he used his hands, I felt that he had a natural talent for magic.
Sharpening a cane wasn’t just about looking at a picture and copying it the same way.
I had to figure out the flow of magic around the staff that I felt every time I sharpened it, and match the shape so as not to go against that flow.
The result of the two was all the more satisfactory as a wizard who lacked sense could not follow it no matter how much he ordered.
Puyo gave a few more assignments after that, and they did a great job.
Finally convinced, Puyo opened his mouth.
“Do you have any plans to learn some enchantment magic at my workshop during the rest of the vacation?”
“!”
Puyo’s offer was not just a job offer.
It was Puyo, an artifact craftsman recognized not only in Granden City but also in the Empire.
In addition, Puyo had a particularity that most wizards did not accept as a disciple of the studio.
Receiving an offer to work under such a Puyo was a reputation increase in itself. After all, they were still freshmen.
The princess nodded.
“…I will do my best.”
Puyo replied as if he was grateful.
“I wouldn’t say the job is easy, but I’m sure you’ll learn a lot…” As
Puyo said, he realized something strange.
Only the princess answered.
“Do you have any other plans?”
When Lee Han hesitated to answer, not only Puyo but also the princess were taken aback.
What kind of nonsense is it that he brings you and only you are left behind?
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk!
Ignoring the princess hitting from the side, Lee Han cautiously opened his mouth.
“That… I have a question.”
“Ask me.”
“Do you get paid?”
It was an important issue for Lee Han.
Already, people like Professor Verdus were exploiting Lee Han without paying a single gold coin.
However, no matter how great the enchantment mage was, he didn’t want to increase the number of exploiters like that.
“Come out. Are you kidding me?”
Puyo tilted his head, not understanding Lee Han’s question.
It didn’t make sense for a student of this level to ask such a question.
“yes. It was a joke. sorry. I want to work too! i look forward to.”
“I’m asking you to take good care of me.”
Lee Han took Puyo’s hand and shook it.
Puyo’s studio was a really good job, as long as it was paid.
Above all, it was great to be able to freely access rare materials.
Of these, maybe one or two are discarded.
‘What would you say if I told you to take it and practice?’
Lee Han, who was happy inside, suddenly thought of something, so he asked.
“By the way, would Professor Verdus be dissatisfied if he found out I was working here?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Lee Han was relieved by Puyo’s immediate reply.
There was no doubt that this level of work was passed on to each other implicitly among the enshrinement wizards.
“ah. As expected, the granting mages respect each other in this respect…
”
“……”
