Episode 123
“That’s not it!!”
“yes?”
“I said you can use all the ingredients in this room, but doesn’t it make no sense for you to steal the potion and just submit it!”
At Professor Thunder’s Step, Lee Han stopped and looked at Professor Thunder’s Step as if he were a strange person.
The thunderous professor became embarrassed and asked again.
“…Isn’t that what you were trying to do?”
“no. No, who steals the potion and turns it in like that? “The professor is really…”
At Lee Han’s words, Professor Thunderstruck was embarrassed, but then suddenly burst into tears.
‘No, this bastard took it away by force, and now who is he doing this to?’
It was absurd that he suddenly treated himself like a strange person after taking the potion from Professor Dajjagojja’s hands.
If it weren’t for the possibility that his student would later become the Empire’s greatest swordsman, he would have hit him once.
“Then why did you take it away?”
“This is to analyze the potion more accurately. “I thought there was a high possibility that even if I asked the professor for a potion, he wouldn’t give it to me.”
“hmm…”
That was correct.
Even if my disciples asked for it, I would never give it to them.
But just because it was true didn’t mean it wasn’t obnoxious. The thunder-stepping professor found the student who was saying the right thing especially more hateful today.
“joy. “Do your best.”
The thunderous professor crossed his arms and glared at Lee Han.
The fact that the potion was taken away was unexpected, but even so, making the same potion was still difficult.
Even if you get your hands on a potion, analyzing and understanding its properties is a completely different matter.
‘I’m sure you’re not drinking it ignorantly…’
The thunderous professor was anxious.
Of course, it was impossible for a clever boy from the Wardanaz family to do such a thing, but it was also true that the boy sometimes did crazy things without any hesitation.
It’s not surprising if you drink it right away!
However, contrary to Professor Thunderstruck’s worries, Lee Han took a very standard approach.
‘How about that?’
Lee Han took out a few drops of potion from a glass bottle and dropped them on the floor.
Then he waved his wand and chanted a spell.
“Ingredients. Be separate.”
‘You learned that magic!’
The thunderous professor was surprised.
<Component Separation> Magic.
It was a magic that forcibly separated the ingredients in something like a potion.
It was a convenient magic that any alchemist could use, but Professor Thunderwalk did not bother to teach it.
In order to become an excellent alchemist, you must have the passion to find and learn on your own.
He couldn’t become an excellent alchemist if his professor spoon-fed him.
In line with the professor’s educational outlook, Lee Han learned magic by searching through books in the library.
At that sight, the thunderous professor nodded.
‘What an obnoxious bastard!’
The thunderous professor prayed that Lee Han would sigh after drinking the acrid smoke after failing at the spell.
Fortunately, the <Component Separation> magic was not an easy magic at all.
It was easy to separate if the ingredients inside were clearly known, but if not, it was not easy to separate.
Magic was not an almighty key that could solve anything just by knowing how to recite a spell.
Even if it is the same magic, it is greatly influenced by the knowledge and skills of the wizard using the magic.
Unless you forcefully pour out magic power to separate the components, there is no problem that can be solved by simply reciting a spell…
“ah.”
The thunderous professor realized it too late and paused.
And the drops of potion hanging on the floor slowly began to separate.
* * *
‘It’s going better than I thought.’
Ihan and Yoner were students who were more serious about alchemy than anyone else in the tower.
Aside from everything else, there was no choice in order to analyze the potions that Ratford had stolen.
The <Component Separation> magic was also a magic I learned during the process.
I was flipping through an alchemy book the other day and found the name, looked through other books, and managed to learn the spell.
I was worried about whether it would be okay, but fortunately the magic worked better than expected.
The potion droplet split into smaller colored droplets.
Lee Han raised his head and looked at the thunder-walking professor.
‘hmm. It’s a good thing.’
Judging from the very displeased expression on the Professor’s face, it seemed certain that everything had gone well.
“I commend you for separating the potions that much.”
“thank you.”
“But that is not enough. “There would be no way to find out the separated ingredients!”
“uh. “Isn’t this a confidence potion?”
“????”
The thunderous professor was surprised.
How did know?!

Nilia, who took the exam before Lee Han, was sitting and talking with Ratford.
“Did you succeed in matching the colors similarly? “Isn’t it amazing?”
“I was lucky.”
“I don’t think I made anything similar at all…”
“There is nothing to worry about. This was a test in which no one could produce perfect results. “The professor must have seen the course as well.”
Nylia nodded, seeming to have gained strength from Ratford’s consolation.
“But why did you go around the night school without me last time?”
“……”
Ratford was sweating profusely.
“Well… I told you. This is… Salko of the Tutanta family is a friend who goes around with subordinates he can trust and entrust to him. I was also called to be a guide. You came here without even knowing, Wardanaz. “If we had gone alone, we would have called.”
“ah. really. It did.”
Nilia nodded again in understanding.
And after talking about the alchemy class for about ten minutes, Nilia asked again.
“But couldn’t we have called before leaving?”
“……”
Ratford looked at the door without realizing it.
‘Wardanaz, when will you come out?’
This was not something Ratford could convince. Lee Han had to come out.
“what do you think about it? huh? “What do you think?”
“That’s because Salko has a bit of a temper…”
Ratford originally didn’t have much of a grudge against Salchow, but in this situation, there was nothing he could do.
There is no choice but to label Salchow as a bad guy.
“You don’t give me any chance to do that…”
“It was the same on the last island. I prepared everything, but you went with White Tiger Top friends? “What do you think about this?”
“Well… the White Tiger Tower guys are naturally violent and mean.”
Ratford didn’t have much of a grudge against his White Tiger Tower friends, but once again, he couldn’t help it.
I have no choice but to label him as a bad guy again.
“I think there was nothing we could do from Wardanaz’s perspective.”
“Well, that was an unavoidable situation, right?”
“yes. So, let’s stop talking about this topic…”
“okay. …Did I complain too much?”
Nilia asked if he realized he was grumbling. Ratford quickly shook her head.
“no?”
“okay? “Then that’s a relief.”
Nilia spoke about alchemy again for about fifteen minutes.
How was this test, how was the assignment, what will the midterm exam be like…
Other Black Turtle Tower students who had taken the test also joined the conversation and expressed their opinions.
Ratford was relieved that the topic had completely passed.
“But this isn’t my story, it’s my friend’s story. “My friends from other towers said that I keep forgetting about myself and going around.”
“……”
Ratford bowed his head.
The Black Turtle Tower friends, who did not know the exact situation, seriously participated in the concerns.
“Isn’t it because it’s a different tower? “Other top guys are basically rude, arrogant, or arrogant.”
“At least the Phoenix Tower is better.”
“Those White Tiger Tower guys are really unlucky.”
While Ratford was wondering how to change the topic, Lee Han opened the door and came out.
Ratford was as happy as the warm soup that Lee Han received after starving for several days.
“Wardanaz…!”
‘Was the test that difficult?’
Lee Han was slightly embarrassed when Ratford called in a voice full of water.
“What’s going on?”
“Please explain to Nilia what happened last time.”
“what’s the matter. Ratford. “I understood everything.”
Nilia’s expression didn’t change at all and she scolded Ratford as if asking what he was talking about.
Ratford opened his mouth in frustration and looked at Nilia.
‘Is that the behavior of someone who understands everything…!?’
Lee Han looked at Nilia and Ratford and quickly understood the situation.
I had been preparing for this situation ever since I visited the Tutanta family’s Salko and the Night School.
“Nilia. The salco was a bit too much. “I asked to call them, but they kept blocking me by saying no.”
“!”
“?”
Ratford tilted his head.
Was there such a conversation?
“I heard that other friends lose confidence when they have a skilled hunter like you.”
“Did you?”
Nilia’s long ears perked up slightly.
Lee Han nodded with a very serious expression.
Ratford, who was also present, thought to himself, ‘It seems like there was some kind of conversation like that.’
“They didn’t even let me call Yoner. Isn’t it too salty? Don’t say too much though. “He did it for his friends.”
“…okay. That’s right!”
Nilia answered with a noticeably brighter face than before. The angle of her ears was also raised much higher.
Ratford whispered softly.
“Did you have that conversation?”
“Shh. Be quite.”
“……”
The Black Turtle Tower students saw Lee Han and called him.
“Wardanaz. How was your test? “Have you made the potion perfectly?”
“No way. It’s an impossible test to begin with. “I failed.”
The other students felt reassured by Lee Han’s words.
I was a little relieved to see Lee Han, the most honorable student, say something like that.
Maybe I’m not as screwed up as I thought!
“What characteristics have you all noticed? “I tried adding findnsis because the smell stung my nose.”
“Is that so? To match the colors, I first focused on similar colors…”
While the students talked, Lee Han listened silently.
Meanwhile, Yoner, who had taken the test for the last time, walked out the door.
“Everyone worked hard. Of course, the potions you made would be worth a knife if you sold them anywhere, but it is true that you worked hard.”
The students glared at the thunderous professor’s words. The dwarf professor burst into laughter as if he were having fun.
“Honestly, the test was very difficult. professor!”
“Shouldn’t we at least come within the scope of what we learned?”
“Wodanaz here also failed, so who will guess this!”
Students protested desperately, fearing that similar tests would appear in the midterm exams.
The thunderous professor, who was listening while laughing, asked back as if to say, “What do you mean?”
“Wardanaz is almost a success. What do you mean?”
“yes?”
“It was almost a success. There were minor differences, but that was a success. “It’s the highest score.”
The Black Turtle Tower students who had been talking together just now turned their heads and looked for Lee Han.
However, Lee Han was not seen because he had already left the place.
Thunderwalk clicked his tongue and said.
“You believe the words of a friend who studies better than you. “You’re so naive.”
“…Ugh…!”
“Wardanaz…! “I believed it…!”
* * *
Lee Han was lost in thought as he read the things written on the paper.
Now, the new students at the magic school were spreading everywhere like drops of ink in water.
And Lee Han was the one who walked around the school most actively.
Haunted hallway on the west 2nd floor of the main building (unsolved) – There is a rumor that there is a warehouse of cloth piled up near the school.
Locked prison on the first basement floor of the main building (solved) – Connected to the professor’s office. Never approach.
Main building…
‘It’s interesting, but I want to check the way to the stables in the spire first.’
Gainando asked after seeing Lee Han drawing a map and taking notes on a piece of paper.
“But Professor Garcia, are you okay with the test?”
“I’m a little anxious, but I’ve prepared everything.”
“……”
Gainando looked at Lee Han as if he were a monster.
And then he muttered.
“Wardanaz family… It’s really scary!”
“It doesn’t really have anything to do with the Wardanaz family, does it?”
