“I can’t say anything to the Thunderwalking Disciple.”
“…I am very happy.”
Lee Han tried to manage his facial expressions.
Even when the professor’s kindness didn’t appeal to him, he had to manage his facial expressions.
Because the heartbroken professor was more terrifying than any other demon.
The lightning stride trudgedI stopped in front of a horse.
It was a really beautiful white horse.
A white horse that is neither particularly large nor particularly small, with a strong physique and well-kept muscles.
The white horse looked at Lee Han softly and blinked. No violence was felt there.
If Lee Han had been a little younger, he might have been deceived into thinking, ‘Did the professor really give me a good word for me?
However, Lee Han is someone who has gone through all the battles before and after.
not easily deceived
‘Isn’t this supposed to be a demon that has turned into a white horse?’
Clearly there is something!
“ruler. This is a really good word. But his temperament is the toughest and most demanding guy in this stable. If you tame this horse, you will be able to tame other monsters easily.”
Lightning stride said with a very happy expression.
“Of course, it might be too difficult for a freshman.”
“If you think so, then…”
“But you, Wodanaj, who dealt with thunderbirds so skillfully, can do it! I believe in you!”
‘shit.’
If you did well, the difficulty level goes up!
It can be so irrational and absurd…
While Lee Han and Professor Lightning Gaul were having a conversation, the other students could not give up their regrets and approached various horses and tried to have a conversation.
“Aren’t you good? Good… evil! Bitten!”
“Stop spitting! Stop spitting!”
“You’re doing headbutts!?”
Of course, the words were not slurred.
As the havoc continued, Nelia told her friends her carefully.
“Aren’t we supposed to be friends with the horses first?”
“Are you trying to make friends?”
“So, don’t just come up to me and try to stroke me, there’s something else. I come out early in the morning to brush my teeth, clean the inside, feed them…”
She knew that Neila didn’t think she was saying anything particularly strange.
Even when she was working in ＜Shadow Patrol>, she had to show this kind of devotion to tame a strange beast.
If you don’t put in time and effort consistently, your partner won’t open your heart.
“What do you have to do like that?”
“You have to come out to the stables early every morning?”
“?!”
But surprisingly, the other students showed rejection.
Even the Black Turtle Tower had many students from wealthy families.
A horse is taken care of by a servant or a slave, and she does not have to take care of herself.
‘Are you all stupid!?’

Nelia tried to say, ‘Do you think you’re still out of school?’ but she resisted.
If you say that, Neil Aahman, she’ll be treated like a weirdo.
She just couldn’t help but whisper inside her.
‘I have to go out on my own. Later, when I see the horses listening to me, others may listen to me.’
Lee Han and Yoner spoke to Nelia, who was walking with her sullen ears hanging down.
“Nelia. Did you choose a horse?”
“We are going to come out every morning to look after the horses, but would you like to join us?”
“…yes!!”

Nilia hugged Lee Han and Yoner with a crying expression.
Her real friend didn’t care if the tower was different.
Lee Han and Yoner looked at Nelia as if embarrassed.
‘Why are you doing this?’
‘Well…?’

After the basic vehicle training lecture was over, Lee Han headed to the hut of Professor Lightning Walk with Professor Lightning Walk.
In fact, to be precise, it was more like being dragged rather than going together. Because Lee Han couldn’t refuse the words of Professor Lightning Walk.
“Come… no.”
Lee Han saw clearly.
The professor’s eyes trembled greatly and his complexion clouded when he witnessed an adult in the family!
“…what’s going on here?”
“Do you need a reason to meet your nephew?! look out hey! Also, in a nook like this, you build a hut and live there. It’s not even organized properly! Look at this dust!”
“I’m pretty organized.”
Thunderstep made a protest in its own way.
In fact, after Lee Han came, the hut was quite tidy.
“You’re talking like a cleanup! What sort of arrangement is this! Alchemy is good, but now I have to think about finding a true mate and having children. How long do you plan to live alone? The elders are worried about you…”
“……”
Thunderbolt looked at Lee Han as if asking for help. Lee Han couldn’t refuse that look.
“I. professor. Shall we prepare a meal?”
“ah. okay. I brought my disciple, and I have to feed him. you stay still thunder step. Because the food you made doesn’t taste good. I’ll make it eastern-style delicious.”
“No, I don’t like Eastern food very much…”
“What did you say?”
“it’s nothing.”
Thunderstep murmured and shut her mouth. Then he looked at Lee Han and said in a desperate voice.
“What happened to you?”
A voice with the meaning of returning the topic, please.
Lee Han contemplated what to talk about.
Should I even tell you about joining the Frisinga Church?
“for a moment. That wand…”
It was then that Thunderstep realized that Lee Han’s wand was a wand he had never seen before.
“Where did that stick come from?”
“ah. Is this what you mean?”
Ian thought for a moment.
Then he asked again.
“Are you keeping the secret?”
“……”
The thunderous gait was absurd.
I was just asking to change the subject, but those words are sure to come back.
Besides, just saying that is suspicious…
“…don’t protect me.”
“Hey. Our kin always keeps a secret.”
Lightning stride approached after washing his hands for a while while slashing at the chopping board from behind.
“No matter what the secret, I don’t take the stories I heard at the dinner table. By the way, what kind of bastard do you only have meat on bread?”
“ah. Because I know how to take good care of it…!”
“So, your health is getting weaker! For Dwarves, the Eastern diet is the best. You should eat rice, not wheat. Please cook my delicious stew.”
The expression of the thunderous steps was dyed with sadness.
Professor Dwarf asked Lee Han again with the intention of changing the topic somehow.
“So, how did you get that wand? I can feel the energy of life…”
Lee Han summed up and refined what had happened that night quite a bit.
-I happened to go up the mountain for a walk at night, but I met a talking oak tree…
“…you happened to go to the depths of that mountain for a walk at night???”
“Yes. Taking a walk is the best way to go to such a gloomy and secluded place.”
“……”
“……”
The thunder and lightning steps looked at Lee Han as if it were absurd, but Lee Han did not waver.
‘I was trying to escape.’
‘You’re trying to escape.’
There is only one reason for a freshman to go up to the mountain on a weekend night.
“But wait. Did you meet a talking oak tree? Have you ever solved the riddle?”
“Yes. How do you know?”
“Because it’s a famous spirit… Then the staff must have been given to you by the talking oak tree.”
Thunderstep nodded curiously and looked at the staff.
Talking oaks had a strict and troublesome personality, but their vision and knowledge could not be ignored.
The staff that Lee Han was holding felt the vital energy of the tree spirit. It was an unusual cane that you don’t see often.
“Is there any effect on this wand?”
Lee Han is aliveasked in an expectant voice.
As a human being, it was impossible not to be expected.
I was talking like a talking oak tree is a pretty awesome thing…
“That cane is good for farming.”
Lightning streaks of boiling pork stew were placed on the wooden table.
Ripe kimchi (the name was like pickled eastern cabbage, but Lee Han called it kimchi) was fried once and boiled with various seasonings and pork chops.
The Eastern Imperial Diet, a typical Korean style for Lee Han, a native of South Korea, has always been familiar.
On the other hand, the expression of the thunderous walk was colored with sadness.
It had green onion and red pepper in it and it was red, so it looked spicy just by looking at it.
‘I have a student, so if you cook this spicy eastern food as you like…’
“I will enjoy this food.”
“?!”
Seeing Lee Han scoop up a large bowl of white rice and roll it up in a bowl in front of him, he was startled by the thunderous gait.
Are you eating well!?
‘Isn’t it spicy? Wasn’t he the kind of guy who originally enjoyed spicy food?!’
“Also. Like a disciple of Thunderstep, he knows how to eat. Wodanaz.”
Lightning stride said with a satisfied expression.
Because the empire was so wide, there were some people who couldn’t eat cuisine from other regions than their own.
Compared to such people, Lee Han, who eats so well, was very happy.
A meal that older Dwarves can’t help but love!
“On the other hand, why are you so fussy! Eat quickly!”
“Oh, yes!”
On the other hand, Thunder walked slower than his disciple to eat. Lightning Strike ended the story the dwarves and humans had been talking about while they ate.
“As tree spirits reside in that staff, it would be great to grow something and make it grow. It’s literally a living wand. A cane like that is not often available. It is a very precious thing.”
“Uh… any other effects?”
“Well? Because that’s the most typical effect.”
Of course, helping the crops grow wasn’t a bad effect, but it was far from what Lee Han wanted.
‘Is it for farming…?’
Even if it wasn’t like being invincible with a wand or learning magic in a dream, I wanted it to help control my magic…
“It’s fine. You were just trying to grow a garden.”
“I did.”
“A garden?”
Lightning Walk showed interest in the conversation between Thunder Walk and Lee Han.
“Weren’t you from the Wodanaj family?”
“This guy is a little bit special.”
“Yeah, it seems. What are you going to do in the garden?”
“I try to do everything I can eat.”
“He’s interested in Eastern cuisine, so he’s trying to plant something like Chinese cabbage or green onion.”
“okay?”
The words of the thunderstorm seemed to make the lightning step happy. The lightning stride said as if expecting it.
“If you want, I can help you.”
“oh. Are you really?”
“okay. Because I’ve done quite a bit of gardening.”
Lee Han went out of the hut with lightning steps.
Behind it, there was an empty lot that had been set aside for Lee Han’s vegetable garden.
Thanks to the care of the soil from time to time, it was possible to plant any number of seeds or seedlings.
“It would be better to plant the ones that take a little longer first. Potatoes and sweet potatoes would be very useful.”
Lightning Step was well aware of how the freshmen at this school suffered.
Crops that can fill your stomach, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, will be very useful.
“It will take at least two months, but if you plant it ahead of time, you will appreciate it later.”
“That is correct.”
Lee Han thought that the lightning steps made sense. Take Potatoes and Sweet Potato SeedsI started planting step by step in one area of the garden.
‘…from the Wodanaj family?’
Lightning stride was slightly bewildered by Lee Han’s work.
Anyone who has worked for a while can’t help but admire Lee Han’s work.
That skilled figure who is a natural worker by anyone looking at it.
…are you really from the Wordanaj family, who are masters of magic?
* * * *
“…?”
I felt something strange when I came out of the hut and watched the thunderous steps.
“Did you come and plant it over the weekend?”
“Yes? Have you planted it now?”
“okay?”
Thunderbolt tilted her head.
‘You planted it now?’
But why does it seem that the buds have already grown?
