‘no. You can’t judge a person by this.’
A slightly twisted sense of humor was only a minor drawback in this magic school.
Lee Han decided to focus on the positive strengths of the professor in front of him.
“It was really fun. A refreshing feeling like a cool breeze to me, tired of school life…”
Asan, who had finished the second time, got up and approached him, but stopped when he heard what Lee Han said.
‘What was fun?’

No matter how you think about it, there was absolutely nothing interesting about this exam.
“hello. professor. He is said to be the Asan of the Dalkad family.”
Professor Alpen, who discovered Asan, took out his pocket watch and checked the time and said,
“Hmm. I had a story to tell to the students with excellent grades… Come along.”
Asan put on a shaky expression on his face.
At best, he had earned his time by completing exams, which he didn’t want to waste talking to the professor again.
“I will.”
Of course, it wasn’t Han. Lee Han answered without giving Asan a chance to make an excuse.
Asan sighed in disappointment and moved on.
“By the way, Asan. How did you solve the last problem?”
“I couldn’t find an answer, so I wrote it down to enter from 0, and luckily… Are you Wodanaj?”
Asan looked at Lee Han with an expression of ‘Of course, Wodanaj would have solved it like me?’
Ihan nodded his head.
“Of course I did that too.”
When other friends ask, I will answer like that, and Lee Han promised that.
He didn’t want to appear to understand Principal Skeleton too well.

Professor Alpen’s room was quite old-fashioned.
The books were stacked without a single dust, and theEverything was in place.
“Sit down.”
As the two students sat down, Professor Alpen swung his wand and filled the teacup with tea.
“The two students are outstanding enough to take first and second place in this exam.”
“thank you.”
“Actually, one of my friends is going to visit the school next week. She was a friend I had while working as an imperial administrator …”
Lee Han’s eyes lit up as he listened quietly.
If he was a friend he made while serving as an imperial administrator, he was likely from an imperial dignitary as well.
“…when he visits, he wants to see the work of the students I am teaching. That’s why I want to leave the simple magic circle creation to you guys. It won’t be that difficult as I’ve said it before in class.”
Lee Han hated it and Asan hated it.
What was it that made you feel sad that you had to do extra work?
It’s not that I don’t have good grades!
‘I can do this.’
Seeing Asan’s disliked reaction, Lee Han nodded his head.
Lee Han has good grades, and above all, doesn’t Asan hate it?
It was the perfect opportunity.
“I think it would be good if Dalcard-kun took over.”
“…?!”
Ian was surprised.
why?!
“I… me? Wouldn’t it be better for Wodanaj to take over?”
Asan blurted out the end of her words as if she was not confident.
He’s also talented and he didn’t want to do that extra task.
Lee Han cheered Asan inside.
‘cheer up. Asan!’
“Hey, Wodanaj-kun has too many things right now.”
“……”
“……”
Both Lee Han and Asan were at a loss for words.
That’s right!
“I heard that he was so passionately concentrating on his studies that he was spending time with other professors to learn. You can’t disturb a student like that.”
“…All right. I’ll do it…”
Asan said in a sullen voice.
Asan also had a conscience.
If you were a student in the Blue Dragon Tower, you couldn’t say to Lee Han, who is so busy and hard, ‘Still, take care of it!’
“no. professor. I will also help Asan.”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes.”
“Wordanaj…!”
Asan was so moved that dewdrops formed around his eyes.
Friendship alone will help you with this boring, boring, and tedious task.
swish-
Asan wiped her tears with her sleeve. After she entered this school, she felt particularly tearful.
“Thank you. Wodanaz.”
“It’s nothing. Asan.”
Lee Han patted Asan on the shoulder and thought to himself.
‘I will definitely catch my eye.’

No matter who Professor Alpen’s friend is, I’m sure he’ll catch my eye!
After hearing a brief explanation, the two students said hello and left the room.
Professor Alpen, who was left alone in the room, muttered as if it were a pity.
“I’m sorry. Originally, I wanted to recommend Wodanaj-kun…”
In terms of talent and ability alone, the boy of the Wodanaj family was a talent enough to want to recommend it to the imperial administrators later.
A brilliant brain and a strong passion for learning.
He will surely become a good bureaucrat of the Empire.
but…
‘It is right to leave such outstanding talents to focus on academics rather than official positions.’
Professor Alpen knew it well.
A moderately brilliant brain would be worthy of an Imperial office, but a truly brilliant brain had to be dedicated to learning for the sake of the Empire’s future.
The reason that Professor Alpen, who had worked for a long time in public office, came to this school was to nurture even a little of the future companions of the empire.
As a former bureaucrat, it was disappointing, but the educatorIt was a pleasure for the chief.
‘I will do my best to help. to focus on your studies. Wardanaj-kun.’

thursday.
As Lee Han was walking to take an alchemy class, he realized that the students’ faces were drenched in fatigue.
“What time did everyone leave the classroom yesterday?”
“After midnight… the magic didn’t work.”
“……”
“What was the answer to the last question?”
Yoner still had an expression on his face that he didn’t understand.
Read at noblemtl.com
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with any other correct answer than 720.
“…0.”
“yes?”
“0.”
“why?”
“That’s… so…”
Although he did not raise any problems, Lee Han carefully explained while looking at Yoner.
From Yoner’s eyes, a flame that could be used for smelting metal rose.
“porridge…! …okay. That was it. okay.”
Yonner barely calmed down.
At this school, I couldn’t stand it if I got angry over each of these things.
poop-
“?”
Ian turned his head.
A passing princess was tearing apart a piece of paper with various formulas and numbers written on it with an expressionless face.
It seemed that he was still unraveling until today because he could not solve it yesterday.
“…I’m sorry for nothing.”
“why. It’s not your fault. Don’t do it for nothing.”
Yoner comforted Lee Han. The May Kean girl opened her mouth to change the subject.
“You said you were making a magic circle with a moon card?”
“yes.”
“…Isn’t it better to just leave the moon cards alone?”
“Hey… Makein…”
Asan, who was passing by, looked at Yonaire as if she was sad.
Of course, Yonaire wasn’t wrong.
Even other top students seemed to agree with Yonaire.
“Isn’t it better to do it alone?”
“The moon card. You have to take care of Wodanaj.”
“……”
Asan looked at Lee Han as if asking for help. Lee Han nodded his head and answered.
“I made this decision because I wanted to help, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Then I can’t help it, but…”
“Can’t I ask the prince for help? Time seemed to be running out.”
tang tang tang-
The professor thundered into the classroom and made a sound of knocking on the pot.
“Everyone is nice. Everyone knows what I’m going to do today even if I don’t have to explain it to you, right?”
The students’ faces turned pale.
Even when taking the same note test, Professor Thunderbolt had the talent to make it a little more absurd.
Prof. Thundergeulgeul chuckled as if he felt the students’ gaze.
“ruler. Please stand in line and come in one by one.”
“?”
The students murmured at the exam in a different way than they had expected.
I thought it was going to be a test of making potions using a pot in the classroom as usual…?
“Why? Everyone is waiting in line to come in.”
“……”
The students lined up looking at Professor Thunderwalk with very suspicious eyes.
I couldn’t even guess what was inside the door inside the classroom.
“What the hell do you have?”
“Isn’t there a monster?”
“Is this an alchemy class?”
“Then what kind of class was it that crazy monsters attacked on the first day?”
“…that was an alchemy class, too. shit. There may be monsters.”
The students quickly made up their minds and held onto the cane.
Since this happened, it felt like there was a really high chance that a monster would appear.
‘Maybe monsters will come out… won’t they?’
Lee Han did not give up any hope and handed the sweets to his friends.
“what’s this?”
“Beer candy.If you don’t have enough mana, eat it.”
The friends nodded their heads with wretched expressions and grabbed their beer candies.
It was a necessary item as I didn’t know how much magic power would be needed when dealing with monsters.
“Wordanaz. Come in.”
Lee Han opened the door and went inside.
Fortunately, no monsters came, but Lee Han was not vigilant.
“…you can take your hands off the waist dance.”
The thunderous gait looked at Lee Han as if it were absurd.
Of course, it was a good habit to doubt, but what was that posture where you could draw your sword at any time after coming to 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 things like that. ruler. Look at the pot and look at the ingredients next to it.”
Lee Han checked the pot.
And I checked the ingredients next to it. All of them were first-of-a-kind materials.
“I saw it.”
“Then try to make this potion using only the ingredients in the room.”
“?”
Lee Han stopped when he saw the fluttering potion contained in the glass bottle shaken by Professor Thunderwalk.
It was the first potion I had ever seen.
“Is this the potion you taught me in class?”
“no.”
“Can you tell me what kind of potion it is?”
“no.”
“……”
Thunderstep shed a deep smile, wondering if the current situation was so much fun.
A good alchemist was good at improvisation.
Even with only the first ingredients you’ve never seen before, you can make a potion similar to a potion you don’t know.
It was possible because he quickly grasped the properties of the materials and completely put the effects of those properties in his head.
Of course, Professor Thunderwalk didn’t expect the freshman to make the perfect potion.
How many potions’ properties can you notice and make them as close as possible to them?
That was the core of this exam.
“ruler. Would you like to move fast? Isn’t time infinite?”
“Ugh.”
Lee Han looked like he was thinking deeply about something.
When Lee Han, one of the most outstanding students in the alchemy class, did not move and continued to ponder, Professor Thunderbolt was rather puzzled.
‘What are you thinking about?’
It’s not enough to quickly grasp the properties of the ingredients and figure out the properties of the potion, so you’re just worrying about it like that.
I didn’t understand.
“professor.”
“Why?”
“Can I use any materials in the room?”
“Are you going to use the ingredients you have?”
Professor Thunderwalk snorted.
I don’t know what kind of material I have, but it’s probably useless.
If you’re really lucky and you have a material that you can use, Professor Thundergalle was going to admit it.
If you’re that lucky, you can do anything!
“Do whatever you want.”
“All right.”
Lee Han rushed like lightning and stole the potion in his hand.
Thunderstep was so bewildered by the sudden surprise that he stayed still and then came to his senses.
“…hey!!!”
