“There are many beasts in the Empire. A gentle guy, a ferocious guy, a timid guy, a brave guy… Memorizing all the characteristics of these beasts is not an easy task for even the best wizards. But a clever wizard knows how to act wisely. It’s just knowing your habits.”
If you know the behavior or weakness of a monster, you can infer the type of monster similar to that monster to some extent.
In this way, excellent explorers used to understand the habits of monsters of a similar type and prepare in advance.
‘How do we know the habits of Cerberus?’
Of course, there were times when that method didn’t work either.
It was the same moment right now.
‘…can I treat Cerberus like any other dog or wolf monster?’
The moment he scratched Cerberus’ chin with his hand, a fear of being bitten arose.
“Of course, just because you say something like this, wouldn’t it be unreasonable for you to understand your habits right now? There is one better way. A method that works for most beasts.”
Professor Lightning Stride tapped the bottom of the pot jar with the tip of his boot.
“Eat right away.”
Students in all directions took their breath away. It was more of embarrassment and worry than joy and enlightenment.
‘You want me to feed Cerberus?’
‘Isn’t it supposed to be food when you try to feed it?’
“Until now, feeding it shouldn’t have been that difficult. right?”
“Yes???”
Each time they went to the stables, the students were terrified of being hit by horses and being spit in the face.
However, Professor Lightning Walk ignored it and continued.
“Horses have relatively few complaints about food and tend to eat things well. But the Empire is not just about horses. You will have to learn how to feed them in order to deal with the beasts you will meet next semester.”
Lee Han did not dare to ask what kind of beasts were waiting for the next semester.
“Okay, then… let’s get started! Feed Cerberus in the order in which it is completed!”
When the professor’s command fell, the students hurriedly ran to the front of the pot.
In the middle vacant lot, starting with the meat of some animals, various ordinary vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, onions, and Chinese cabbages. And there were even rare fruits, mushrooms, and spices that I couldn’t even guess the name of.
Students pick up baskets one by one and pick out what ingredients.I murmured if I should.
“What kind of dishes do three-headed dogs like to cook? I’m more confident with onion soup these days. Shall we go for onion soup?”
‘If you look at the three-headed dog, is it okay to feed them onions?’
Lee Han was puzzled and grabbed the ingredients.
Basically, Lee Han was also choosing ingredients that dogs would like.
You’ll like sweet fruits like apples, you’ll like meat and fish…
“You don’t have any sweet potatoes? Guyan too. Haven’t you seen sweet potatoes?”
“Why are you asking me?”
Gainando tilted his head not knowing why he was asking him.
“You like sweet potatoes.”
“…for a moment. Did you ask because you thought I would have taken it all by now?”
Lee Han did not answer and moved to another place. Gainando groaned and followed after him.
“Hmm. There are no sweet potatoes.”
“hey!”
‘I can’t help it.’
Lee Han took out a sweet potato wrapped in paper from the pocket of his coat.
It was a sweet potato that was harvested from Professor Thundergalleum’s vegetable garden, well roasted, peeled, cut, and then dried.
Professor Lightning Walk, who was watching from a distance, asked as if he was absurd.
“Why are you carrying dried sweet potatoes in your pocket?”
“Are you going to eat when you are in distress?”
“……”
While Professor Lightning Walk was at a loss for words, Lee Han moved to the pot.
It was difficult to cook complicated or difficult dishes as he did not know what Cerberus liked.
‘Let’s go with a variety of foods, as simple and simple as possible.’
I was thinking of checking the ingredients that the other person reacted to when cooking and bringing them to me.
While Lee Han grinded the meat and kneaded it into a stick, a few fearless students stepped forward.
“Oh, great three-headed dog! I’ve brought food for you here!”
– Kung!
Cerberus’s left head barked in response. The students placed the well-roasted pork ribs on the bowl and walked carefully.
“Wait… Hold on…”
“Jin, you’re not really attacking, are you?”

No matter how prepared I was, when the six large eyes stared at me, my whole body was bound to stiffen.
The students trembled and offered the grilled meat to Cerberus.
Whoops!
Cerberus’ left head took a large bite of the grilled meat. Then I chewed it a few times and spit it out.
“?!?”
“Oh, no?!”
Professor Lightning Walk, who was next to him, said with a smirk.
“If you think of him as just a wild monster, he will get a big nose injury. He grew up eating only the good, so he has a picky appetite. Besides, I ate a snack before coming here, so I’m half full.”
“…Then, no matter what you give, you won’t eat it?!”
“Nevertheless, you have to be able to feed it to be an excellent wizard.”
“……”
Chi profit-
The students became less talkative, and the sound of grilling meat suddenly seemed to be louder.
Most of the students thought, ‘If you cook the meat well, it won’t be delicious.’
‘It’s a big deal. I thought so too.’
Various seasonings or recipes could not be used. If the scent was too strong, I could spit it out without eating.
The horseman, Shiles of the Richmond family, looked at Lee Han and called out in a low voice.
“Wordanaz.”
“What’s going on?”
“I have something to tell you.”
Shiles looked around and put a small bottle in Lee Han’s hand. Inside was a complex colored powder.
“This is the secret powder used only by our family. Arcane Powder that animals love to eat.”
As a family running one of the leading carriage transport businesses in the Empire, the ShilesHe was good at handling water.
“You helped me last time, this time I will help you. take it You will love it when you mix it into your dishes.”
“Thank you for such a precious thing… Shiles.”
Ian said sincerely.
Besides, the last time I helped, I actually decided to get silver coins and helped!
Shiles rolled his eyes and stood up with the soup in his bowl. Then the other top students roared.
“What do you think? Didn’t you just see something you didn’t like?”
“no. It’s Richmond. You must have an idea!”
Shiles’ friends looked at them with a bit of anticipation.
As if living up to that expectation, Shiles put down the bowl. Cerberus approached and sniffed.
Hugh!
The three heads of Cerberus spit in Shiles’ face at the same time.
Shiles, who had become wet with saliva, turned to Lee Han and said.
“…sorry. Wodanaz. It doesn’t seem to work.”
“……”
When even Shiles was smashed, no more students came forward.
But Professor Lightning Walk was strict. When the time came, he began to push the students one after the other.
“ruler. The time has come. Go ahead with the food you made!”
“Sleep, hold on! professor! Just give me a little more time!”
As expected, the students were the autumn leaves. Cerberus struck the bowl with his front paw and snorted it and rejected it in various ways.
Soon, Lee Han’s turn came. Lee Han, who was holding the dishes he had made, suddenly thought of why he was doing this.
‘I don’t think the wizard’s way is like this…’
– Kung!
Cerberus’ left head barked. It was similar to the reaction I showed the students earlier. Lee Han put his hand to his wand.
If the saliva flew in, he would hit the shield to stop it.
Chop Chop Chop-
“…?”
However, Cerberus’ reaction went a little differently than expected.
He was inhaling the food Lee Han had prepared, to be precise, the dried sweet potato that Lee Han had taken out.
His left head raised his head first, so the other two were in tears and restless.
“for a moment. We should eat together.”
– Kreung Kung K K K K K K K K K K K K
– Kung!
-king!
The stolen head reacted violently, but the other two heads were very satisfied. Lee Han asked Professor Lightning Walk.
“Is sweet potato the right answer?”
“…not really??”
Professor Lightning Walk said in a bewildered voice.
There is no way that the material that was not taken out in the first place is the correct answer.
Cerberus didn’t even like sweet potatoes.
“Did you digest it while you waited? stop! Raise your head!”
At the words of Professor Lightning Walk, the three heads of Cerberus stood still at the same time, and he straightened his posture.
Lee Han looked at the bowl set down below. Only the sweet potato was gone.
“Were you the one who grew up in the garden?”
“Yes.”
“It was delicious, but… was it this much?”
Professor Lightning Walk was amazed.
As it was his nephew’s garden, there were times when he ate the vegetables he had grown or dishes containing vegetables.
I thought it was obvious that the fresh and nutritious crab had absorbed the life force very strongly with the help of the spirits…
Seeing Cerberus react like that now, I wondered if there was something else.
“I do not know?”
“The other students must have eaten it, so didn’t you see the reaction?”
“Uh… no matter what you give me, I eat well.”
At Lee Han’s words, the Blue Dragon Tower students put on a shy expression.
In fact, as long as Lee Han puts it in a pot and boils it, he ate it like he was possessed by a ghost without knowing what the ingredients were.
Maybe buttons and stones instead of potatoes and carrotsIt was clear that he would have eaten well even if he had added .
“It’s amazing… okay. Let’s check it one more time. After the lecture, dig up sweet potatoes and dry them.”
“…professor. That final exam…”
From the moment she started living as a student, Lee Han was able to put deep sorrow into her eyes.
When he saw those glaring eyes, Professor Lightning Gaul unknowingly apologized.
“sorry. It’s definitely hard to do now. Let’s try it next semester.”
“thank you!”
– Kung! Kung Kung!
The three heads of Cerberus barked in protest from the side.
It was as if they were protesting what they were doing during vacation.
* * * *
night.
Lee Han frowned as he endured the rush of fatigue.
“Is everyone okay?”
“…uh.”
“Ugh.”
“You look fine.”
Lee Han nodded his head in response to the answers of his friends who were sitting all over the break room.
To change his mood, Lee Han poured hot coffee into a tin cup, got up and walked to the window of the tower.
When you look at the dark darkness of the magic school where you can see the stars that seem to pour out, it feels like it’s not a big deal to suffer like this…
‘…without losing.’
Lee Han sips and blinks his eyes. He had something strange.
‘…it’s still midnight?’
It was midnight and suddenly the surroundings were getting brighter.
As if dawn is coming.
Even the friends who were nodding like ghouls turned their heads as if they felt something was getting brighter.
“what?”
“What’s going on?”
It was only when it was bright outside, almost morning level, that the students realized the full extent of the situation.
The phoenix was right in front of the blue dragon tower.
“Wow… Whoa!”
The students exclaimed at the mysterious sight.
To make the midnight as bright as the day
It really wasn’t a phoenix for nothing.
“I was sleepy, but I woke up. Is not it?”
“The only bad thing about the appearance of a phoenix is…”
“…close the window!”
Lee Han hurriedly shouted and moved. The friends were puzzled and asked.
“What, what?! why!?”
“Close the window! The phoenix is coming this way!”
The phoenix, who found the students in the tower, was approaching with innocent eyes.
A few feathers flew in through a window that had not yet been closed, and sparks lit up in the break room.
“…!!!”
“Oh, no! my task! My assignment!!”
“The assignment is not important now! Turn off the fire!”
