Episode 187
After finishing talking to himself, Lee Han realized that his fingertips were trembling slightly.
I tried to stay calm, but it seemed like I was in great shock.
‘No matter what, isn’t this a bit too much?’
-Usually midterm exams for lower grades don’t have much of an impact on the school, but midterm exams for upper grades… cause quite a bit of trouble.
What Direth said while eating red bean rice cake was as follows.
Since lower grade students still had low magic skills, the impact of making mistakes or having an accident while taking a test was not that great.
But the upper grades were different.
As the scale of magic has grown significantly, the repercussions of making a mistake have become so severe that it can affect the entire school.
-As a senior, is it okay to do this to juniors?
-If you feel unfair, become a senior and do the same. And this isn’t something I do because I want to. When multiple accidents occur, unpredictable things happen.
Sometimes, due to the overlap of summoning magic, the connection with the spirit world where the lava spirits lived became stronger, and as a result, the school became filled with lava.
Also, there were times when a strange phenomenon occurred where completely different magic came out even when magic was used due to the flow of magic power becoming entangled.
-Of course, I understand you’re angry, junior. Think of revenge later and be careful.
-All right. We will stock up on supplies as much as possible and obtain artifacts so that we can respond to any situation that may arise. Let’s tell this to our friends in the tower so that no harm comes…
-Well… I didn’t ask you to prepare so professionally, but it’s not bad.
After finishing the conversation with Delet, Lee Han returned to the tower (after apologizing to Guyando) and made various preparations with his friends.
Go to the Black Turtle Tower’s black market to find useful artifacts, organize and calculate the supplies stored in the tower, and first dig up edible items from the garden…
But despite that, I couldn’t help but feel confused.
‘This week will be difficult.’
* * *
“It’s the worst Sunday ever.”
“Isn’t this a blunt object and not bread?”
The friends who received the bread and rice for breakfast were perplexed.
Perhaps because of the cold, it had already hardened.
“Did you see it outside? “We used to have a snowball fight in this weather at the mansion…”
“Now is not the time to say things like that. “If you don’t clear the snow, you won’t be able to go out the door.”
“Why don’t the professors solve the problem?”
“Well, since it was the students’ fault, they should solve it.”
“Wardanaz!”
The students who were holding black blunt objects, or rather black bread, with pitiful expressions in the lounge were delighted.
It was hoped that Lee Han’s appearance would solve this problem.
“It’s unfortunate for everyone, but we don’t know when this blizzard will end. Vegetables from the garden will not be available for a while. “It’s a frugal diet for a while.”
“…!”
“don’t worry. Wardanaz. We are also Einrogard students. “I don’t sound weak just because I’m a little hungry.”
“That’s right, Wodanaz!”
Lee Han was slightly worried by his friends’ excessive confidence.
‘These kids have a really bad appetite.’
The other towers were hungry to begin with, but the Blue Dragon Tower had become quite picky thanks to Lee Han.
Will it be okay?
“Today’s dish is canned beans.”
“…Can I open some more canned food? “Should I only eat beans?”
“no. “It’s saving.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students looked gloomy at the thought of eating hard bread with canned beans.
But fortunately, Lee Han was not a heartless person who would just open a can of beans and put them in a bowl.
Lee Han put the onions, garlic, and mushrooms he had dug up in the garden the day before into a pan and fried them in oil along with the beans.
Then I opened another can, added tomatoes, onions, and garlic, boiled it generously, and seasoned it with salt and pepper.
The expressions of the Blue Dragon Tower students brightened slightly. A very slight feeling of admiration appeared on the expressionless face of the princess sitting next to him.
breakfast time.
The meal was delicious even though the snowstorm had started falling again outside.
“Wardanaz. “I think we all need to work together.”
“that’s right. “You have to give me directions.”
Lee Han was lost in thought after hearing his friends’ words.
The Blue Dragon Tower students were right.
Because the situation was so enormous, it was difficult to respond unless we worked together.
What should you do first now?
“We need to clear the snow in front of the tower first. “If I don’t clean up, I won’t be able to attend the lecture.”
“Surely, wouldn’t the professors also take this into consideration?”
“No way.”
“That can’t be possible.”
My friends looked down and shook their heads at the complacent sound someone made.
“And aren’t all the coats now spring coats? “I’ll freeze to death if I go out.”
The friends’ faces became serious at Lee Han’s words.
I certainly didn’t expect such a cold situation due to the spring weather…
“I prepared thick winter cloths for times like this. “I didn’t know I’d be using it already, but… Let’s eat and make a coat first.”
“???”
“????”
The friends nodded and then paused.

…Why did you prepare that?
“Wardanaz. “Did you know something like this would come?”
“no.”
“But how…?”
“I bought it because I thought there might be a use for thick fabric.”
“As expected, Wardanaz. “Even if there is a 1% chance, you can’t let down your guard.”
Asan said with an expression of admiration. Of course, some students were still confused, thinking, ‘I’m lucky, but do I really have to do it that way?’
“Let’s make as many cold weather items as possible. “There must be something useful among the artifacts.”
The advantage of the magic school was that imperfect artifacts rolled around like stones on the side of the road.
“The lantern with this frost fog trapped inside would be a bit ambiguous in the current situation, right?”
“Put it in the corner.”
After finishing their meal, the friends took out the thick cloth and started looking for useful items among the artifacts.
And Lee Han wore a ring, a bracelet, and a necklace.
With a clicking sound, the fire-absorbing accessories radiated power.
“Open the door and get out of the way.”
“Wardanaz. “I trust you…”
“Asan. “Get out of the way before you get hit.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Asan grumbled and widened the distance.
I said I would trust you, but why!
‘I didn’t want to play with fire near the tower, but I can’t help it.’
When I opened the door of the tower connected to the lounge, Lee Han was welcomed by a storm of cold weather and a mountain of snow.
I couldn’t go through this and go to lecture tomorrow. I had to start digging in now.
‘It melts!’
“Burn up!”
Grumble!
With the spell, flames began to rise.
Lee Han was surprised.
‘what?’
Controlling the flames was overwhelmingly easier than usual.
If the usual fire magic felt like grabbing the reins of a wild horse and trying to lead it somehow, the current fire magic was like a gentle, tamed horse.
‘There’s no way my skills have improved to genius level in the meantime. ‘It’s because of the environment.’
There were also advantages to the extremely cold conditions of the blizzard.
As the magical power unleashed in nature is affected by the environment, the power of fire magic was bound to be diminished in this situation.
To be honest, for a wizard like Lee Han, who had to click various sealing devices for fear of causing an accident in order to use fire magic, and had to be careful out of worry, it was honestly a bit of a relief.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Lee Han started to melt the snow by sending flames everywhere.
“I guess snowing like this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”
“What nonsense are you talking about, Wodanaz?”
“Don’t tell lame jokes. “It’s already cold enough.”
“……”
Lee Han kept his mouth shut.
Was that such a bad thing to say?
“Wardanaz. “Shouldn’t you get some rest?”
“It’s still okay.”
“Wardanaz. “I think I need to rest.”
“It’s still okay. “Let’s do a little more.”
“Wardanaz…”
“Are you okay?”
“no. “It all melted…”
“ah. Right.”
Lee Han raised his head.
Thanks to working all morning, some path forward has been created.
When I looked back, my friends were looking at me in shock.
‘Is it because of the snowstorm?’
“I’m going to visit Professor Thunderwalk’s cabin. “I need to get what’s left from the garden.”
“Lee Han! “I made a potion, so take it with you!”
Yoner, who was making potions with other friends inside the fireplace in the common room, gestured.
The cold resistance potion was boiling inside the cauldron.
Asan lifted up a bottle of potion and took a sip.
“and. “Do you feel like your insides are getting hot?”
“Moon card. That’s a drink made with ingredients. “I haven’t added the cold resistance potion yet.”
* * *
The thunderous professor used magic to clear away the snow near the cabin, then sat inside and leisurely drank coffee.
Thanks to the heavy snow, it felt quiet and cozy everywhere.
‘Not bad.’
An accident like this wasn’t that bad.
Isn’t it much more atmospheric than a creepy monster running rampant in the shadow dimension?
bang!
“professor! “Please give me some of the leftover food!”
The thunderous professor was so scared that he almost spilled his coffee.
No how?!
“The snow piled up like this, how did you get through it?!”
“It melted with flames.”
“There’s no way it could be possible with such an ignorant method.”
The thunderous professor who was speaking nodded.
It was entirely possible for the student in front of him.
He was a guy whose magic power seemed to be infinite…
“But you somehow managed to make a road using fire magic in this weather. “Fire magic won’t work well.”
“It was rather good.”
“?”
“?”
Only after listening to the explanation was I able to understand what Thunder Gaet meant.
‘What a monster…!’
Of course, understanding it didn’t mean it wasn’t surprising.
How much magic does it take to say that it is better to use fire magic in this weather?
Even though I’m wearing multiple control artifacts like that!
“…Wait. “I’ll get you something to eat.”
Even though he was a student with monstrous talent, it was a bit sad for the teacher to see him come all the way through this blizzard and collect the remaining ingredients.
Professor Thunder Gait provided the remaining vegetables, eggs, smoked or pickled sausages, ham, and cheese.
“Will the garden be unusable?”
“If you have a conscience, look at the snow piled up on your garden…”
“Even though it is the staff of a tree spirit?”
“Even if it is not a tree spirit but the staff of a tree spirit ancestor, it is not possible to do anything that is not allowed…”
The thunder-gait professor was taken aback by the sight of his student making conscientious remarks one after another.
No matter how much the staff increased vitality, if there were any vegetables growing through heavy snow like now, they were not vegetables but plant-type monsters.
“Don’t complain too much and look at the positive side.”
“What nonsense are you talking about, Professor? “It’s already cold enough, so why make such a lame joke?”
Forgetting what he said to his friends earlier, Lee Han looked with a straight face.
The thunderous professor was about to scold him when he remembered that his student was excellent at swordsmanship and combat.
The professor mercifully forgave and went on to explain.
“Of course, life will be a bit uncomfortable.”
“It would be very uncomfortable.”
“…okay. It will be very uncomfortable. But it will be an opportunity to practice magic that I haven’t been able to handle before.”
“hmm. Actually, I was cautious about blood magic because I thought it would cause a lot of damage to the surrounding area, but if the snow piled up like this, it seems like it would act as a buffer.”
“Why does blood magic come out?! “I’m talking about the cold element and the spirit!”
The thunderous professor was startled by his student’s crazy noises.
“ah. “I guess so.”
“okay. When nature’s magic is concentrated in one direction, the distance from other invisible worlds becomes closer. It is not strange for cold spirits to come out of the spirit world and wander around. Not to mention the cold element.”
This unusual climate gave me an opportunity to practice difficult elements that I would not normally encounter.
The cold was exactly that.
“Since you are quite good at the water element, there is a high possibility that you will be good at dealing with cold as well.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han was pleased.
Eating raw has always been a pleasure.
“okay. Bring some water now. “You’ll probably understand right away what I mean.”
The cold magic that filled nature affected the wizard’s magic.
If I bring water now, I’m sure…
“Spring up!”
The thunderous professor cursed inwardly at the sight of a mass of water gushing out as usual without freezing or shrinking.
This is why it was difficult to teach talented people.
“ruler. “How are the properties of cold and water related?”
“Aren’t you going to use the water you brought in just now?”
“…listen quietly.”
“yes. All right.”
