The thunderous gait only gave out laughter, but soon nodded.
He had no intention of saying anything about what he had raised and sold.
“There is no first student as far as I know. It’s a very creative idea. It’s very creative.”
“Five. thank you Business will be good.”
“Not a compliment!”
He grumbled, but in fact, money management was also an important virtue for the alchemist.
Who will save the expensive reagents and materials?
All of them had to earn money to save themselves.
‘If you look at saving money like that, you won’t run out of money later.’
“Chinese cabbage and green onion… um. It looks like you like making stew.”
“!”
At the words of the thunderous steps, Lee Han raised his head.
The Empire wasn’t just about Western food. It was so huge that there were all kinds of food depending on the location.
The western part of the empire, where the Wodanaj family is located, had a Western-style eating habit of mainly bread and cheese, while the eastern part of the empire had a diet familiar to Lee Han, such as rice and noodles, red pepper paste and soybean paste.
“Do you like stew?”
“I like it, but I tend to avoid eating it.”
“?”
“It’s Eastern food. I hate Eastern Dwarves.”
Thunderstep said with a frown on his face. It seemed to bring back bad memories.
“Did anything bad happen to you?”
“The old relatives of distant relatives live in the eastern part of the country, and when they meet, they talk useless nagging. Regeneration potions are expensive these days, so try selling them, so you can’t make money, but why don’t you come here so often? The young man is smoking a cheeky long pipeDo you use…”
“……”
Lee Han was bewildered at the more specific complaint than expected.
I’ve heard that the eastern part of the empire values tradition and places more importance on the rules than the western part, but that’s about it.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“I was talking nonsense. There’s nothing wrong with the food though. I don’t hate it. If you boil the stew later, let’s eat it together.”
He never said he would give Lee Han, but he knew it wasn’t very good to say that in front of a professor who felt uncomfortable.
“It is an honor to be treated as a professor.”
Hearing Lee Han’s words, the thunderous walk nodded his head.
‘for a moment. If it was the Wodanaj family, it would be west. Can I trust and eat his eastern cuisine?’
Thunder gait was a little unsettling.
Of course, I knew that Lee Han had a great talent for chores, but it is not rare that he was originally from a noble family and was good at cooking.
The last time I saw him grilling a steak, he wasn’t a bad cook, but it was true that Eastern cuisine was quite tricky.
“…No, after thinking about it, it doesn’t seem like it’s not worth it to eat it. You raised me, so I’m fine.”
“Yes? But the pork you ate earlier was caught by me and my friends…”
“After all, that’s the pig I prepared!”
Thunderstep eventually became angry.
* * * *
After eating and cleaning up, Lee Han slowly prepared to go back.
“Oh yeah. What are you going to do on the weekend?”
“Should I come and work?”
“…Anyway, does it look like I’m going to call students on weekends too?”
Thunderstep asked in an absurd voice.
But even more absurd was Lee Han.
‘what? You don’t usually sing on weekends?’
Why?
Wasn’t it the basic skill of professors to call students on the weekend?
“You did a good job, so you don’t have to come on the weekend. I don’t know if you want to grow your garden… And you’ll be very busy on the weekends.”
Thunderstep said meaningfully.
When Lee Han heard that, he got a little nervous.
‘Why are you here again with anxiety?’
“Is something wrong?”
“What is work? Think carefully. What do students who have been starving and tormented throughout the week do on the weekend?”
“Do you set fire to the school?”
“…that’s a bit too drastic. It was about finding a way to eat and live.”
Put the students in a corner.
Then you will figure it out.
According to the will of Principal Rich, represented by .
-Why is this school so cruel to us? Is it because the principal is undead?
– You can’t keep starving like this! You should at least get something to eat!
– Oh, my friends! Let’s go holding hands together!
“Well, I’ve heard rumors that the students of ＜Black Turtle Tower> search the forest behind the main building looking for edible fruits.”
“It’s like Black Turtle Tower students.”
Thunderstep replied as if he knew it would.
The actions of the freshmen were usually divided according to the tower.
The students of the Black Turtle Tower, who came in as commoners, merchants, and even slaves, did not care about face and were among the fastest moving.
As such, it was natural to search the forest and mountains behind the school to find something to eat.
“Thanks to your hunting, there will be other guys who actively try to hunt. It’s rare that they hunt from the first week.”
“Isn’t it all thanks to the professor’s teachings?”
Lee Han’s thunderous steps to Abu smiled happily, but then he felt something uncomfortable.
Do you feel strangely swearing?
“How was the Blue Dragon Tower students usually?”
“The Blue Dragon Tower is the slowest. assThey are heavy guys.”
Lee Han had no choice but to sympathize.
Obviously, looking at the same top friends, it seemed that few people would go to the forest to find something to eat on the weekend.
“But there are always a few talented guys, so after a few weeks of starvation, they come to their senses and find a better way.”
Thunderstep said so and looked at Lee Han.
Come to think of it, this year’s Blue Dragon Tower seems to be very different from usual.
First of all, the way of thinking from the Wodanaj family was different…
‘He’s a really weird guy.’
“Dear Professor. May I ask for another tower?”
“I can tell you this. The phoenix tower students… should they be separated altogether? Because they are not the ones to be shaken because they are hungry and struggling.”
A phoenix tower composed of former apprentice priests sent by the Imperial Church.
As they have always practiced thrift and frugality in the temple, it was only natural that they were the quickest to adapt to this magic school.
So, while the other Tower students wandered around looking for food, the Phoenix Tower students often just prayed and endured.
It was the power of faith.
‘It’s amazing. How can you keep eating like that?’
Ihan stopped thinking.
Come to think of it, Lee Han-do had survived well for more than a few years in graduate school.
‘Well. Come to think of it, people seem to be able to survive surprisingly.’
“Oh yeah. Wodanaz. Are you planning on hunting this weekend?”
“Yes.”
There was no need to hide, so Lee Han answered confidently.
“Then watch out for the white tiger tower bastards. Because they often go hunting too. I’m usually cautious in the first week, but I’m sure someone has heard of a good hunt, so I’m not going to sit still with that personality.”
“Isn’t it all thanks to the professor’s teachings?”
“…well, you know. The White Tiger Tower guys are traditionally high-buyers, so be careful. They are originally from a knight family, so they have a lot of blood.”
“Yes. If we fight, we will plan well so that the majority can deal with the minority.”
“……”
That’s not the sound…!
Thunderstep was about to say something.
To be honest, it was because that Wordanaj family seemed to know and do well.
“We may not meet. The forests and mountains are wide, and the White Tiger Tower bastards may choose something other than hunting… No, no. What in the first week.”
“What else do you do instead of hunting?”
“……”
Thunderstep regretted that I brought this up for nothing.
For some reason, I thought that if I told Lee Han, Lee Han would do it myself.
“Escape.”
“…?!”
escape.
The expansive site of this magic academy was surrounded by a high wall, and that wall was also protected by magic.
But there will always be people who want to break through it.
Considering the villages located outside the magic academy and the items available in those villages, it was natural for an escape attempt to appear.
‘New coats, new shirts, new belts, new trousers, new boots, bread and butter, cheese and jam, dry food, needles and threads just in case, paper and feather pens, soap and perfume… Damn it. There are so many that I can’t even organize them all!’
As soon as she heard the word ‘runaway’, Lee Han’s eyes flashed and her head was spinning.
If he can get those things, Lee Han will be able to live like a king in the dormitory.
“Look at this! That’s why I didn’t want to talk about it!”
Thunderstep looked at Lee Han’s expression and recognized his inner heart.
“What do I mean?”
“You don’t know that your bastard is going out and counting what he can get!”
“no? Is it magic?”
“MagicYou’re saying the same thing! Don’t be stupid. The White Tiger Tower guys are the first to try to escape every year because they are the stupidest.”
“Were there no successes?”
“……”
“Weren’t you?”
“…but not without!”
“Five…”
“Because you will regret it!”
Thundering suddenly stopped while shouting.
Come to think of it, I don’t think there’s any reason for him to dry it like this.
When I was young, everyone was bound to do stupid things.
“done. If you want to do it, do it.”
“no. professor. I never intend to do that.”
“Put saliva on your mouth and say it!”
* * * *
dark room.
In the room where only one candle was flickering, three men with grim expressions were threatening an orc.
“Hey. choi. Are you aware of the situation now? uh? Your only way out is to cooperate!”
“…Lee Han. Even if that prince doesn’t do that, I’ll just ask and I’ll answer.”
Durgyu looked at Gainando as if embarrassed.
It was more absurd than scary to see a guy who was less than a fist slamming his face and threatening him.
All of a sudden, the three of them appeared and followed me, saying, ‘Follow me!’ What kind of nonsensical play is this?
“Well. Didn’t it work?”
Lee Han pulled the curtain away. Sunlight entered the empty classroom. Yonner blows out the candle’s light.
Guy Nando, who could not understand the situation, looked at Lee Han and Durgyu in bewilderment.
“You said you had to threaten Choi?! Did you know each other?!”
“okay.”
“Then why did you prepare this!?”
“If you pretend to be friendly and bring it in, other White Tiger Top students will see you.”
“!”
Durgyu was startled by that.
Ian was right. There was nothing good about being misunderstood.
“Thank you. Lee Han. If I had come in with a friendly conversation, I might have been misunderstood.”
“What do you have with this? I can do this for you, who will play the role of a spy in the future.”
“…for a moment. Am I a spy?”
Durgyu protested the dishonorable title.
Ian asked curiously.
“Didn’t I tell you if that Moradi family member did something suspicious?”
“It was.”
“Are you a spy then?”
“…I think there is something more noble and honorable than a spy?”
Durgyu protested as he was from a knightly family.
I’m telling you for the sake of honor and justice, but why is this a spy?
“I think I am a spy.”
Gainando, who was listening next to him, helped out like that.
Durgyu stared at Guynando. Gainando was stingy and frowned, avoiding his gaze.
“Coming to think of it, I don’t think he’s a spy.”
