Episode 216
“You said beef. beef! Professor Garcia!”
“…Has your personality really changed?”
Before Professor Garcia’s gaze changed to contempt, Professor Passelette hurriedly explained what had just happened.
Then Professor Garcia’s expression also changed.
“is it so? Incredible!”
“Why are you reacting like that?”
Professor Passelette was slightly embarrassed. His opponent’s reaction was too weak.
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
Professor Garcia looked embarrassed.
Professor Passelette was not as surprised as he thought, as he had seen other professors who had given lectures be surprised several times.
Professor Passelette, ‘What is it? Even if you wonder, ‘Is this a genius?!’, Professor Garcia’s reaction is bound to be, ‘I guess he did that again.’
“I heard several times that it was great in other lectures.”
“This is different from that?!”
Professor Passelette spoke in a voice full of resentment. He was so wronged that his other personality inadvertently popped out.
“It’s different from being good at lighting fires or throwing curses…”
“The other lectures aren’t as good… so what’s the problem?”
Professor Passelette paused at Professor Garcia’s words.
There was a problem separate from the unfairness.
“There is.”
“which?”
“…I don’t know how to deal with it.”
“ah.”
Professor Garcia immediately understood what the other person was saying.
Among professors, Professor Passelette is a professor whose teachings are quite laissez-faire.
The students who taught precognitive magic so far were students who realized it on their own and chose to pursue their studies under Professor Passelette, rather than being raised by Professor Passelette himself.
“ah. but. “It’s especially difficult to see talent in precognitive magic… so why don’t you pay more attention?”
“how?”
“Please teach me more powerful and difficult precognitive magic…”
“no. “I heard it’s dangerous.”
Professor Passelette answered nervously.
The saying goes that talented wizards are more dangerous.
That maxim applied especially strongly to precognitive magic.
No matter how strong your intuition and inspiration is, and no matter how much you have a constitution that pays for itself through magic, the danger does not completely disappear.
Paying a different price just once out of a thousand attempts could be fatal for a wizard.
Even experienced and seasoned wizards make mistakes, especially young wizards.
“I guess so. Then, how about you just treat me like you normally treat other disciples?”
“Then what if you lose interest in precognitive magic and stop paying attention?”
“uh…”
Professor Garcia was speechless.
It was not because it was difficult to respond to the words themselves, but because I was surprised by something Professor Passelette would not say.
Normally, I was the type of person who would respond calmly by saying, ‘If I lose interest or stop caring, that’s where it ends’?
“Then doesn’t that end there?”
“How can you say that, Professor Garcia? Even if you no longer learn precognition magic, how?”
“…s-sorry.”
Professor Garcia first apologized. Of course, he felt aggrieved inside.
‘You always do that…’
“Even if it seems like I’m indifferent, I’m not completely giving up on raising students.”
“I know.”
Although he was indifferent to taking in or finding new students, Professor Garcia found that Professor Passelette took very good care of the students he had once taken on.
In some ways, his usual indifferent attitude might have been due to the peculiarities of precognitive magic.
“I make a fuss every time my personality changes.”
“ah. “It’s definitely a bit much.”
“……”
Professor Passelette pouted at Professor Garcia’s careless answer.
“You have such a talent for precognitive magic that you can’t help but improve it.”
“Yeah… uh.”
“why?”
“it’s nothing.”
For a moment, the thought ‘I think I heard similar things from other professors?’ appeared in Professor Garcia’s mind and then disappeared.
“How about Professor Garcia teach you so you don’t lose interest?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Professor Garcia looked with a straight face.
No matter how much I was indebted to Professor Passelette, that wasn’t the case.
“but…”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry.”
When it seemed like the story was going to take a strange turn, Professor Garcia answered firmly.
“Student Lee Han is a rare and sincere student, so even if he learns simple magic over and over again, he will not lose interest and give up interest.”

“really?”
“yes. Really. In the future, if student Lee Han loses interest in or ceases interest in precognition magic, I will discuss it with him. “Okay?”
When Professor Garcia said this, Professor Passelette looked relieved.
After seeing off the professor who was happy to leave, Professor Garcia stopped walking for a moment.
‘Oops.’
It came to mind late.
‘The lecture that student Lee Han is taking now…’
There is already enough magic that Lee Han is hearing about.
‘…I’m sorry, Student Lee Han!’
I should have stopped him…!
* * *
“professor! Take a look! “The cabbage is alive!!!”
“Yes, yes.”
The thunderous professor was overwhelmed by the momentum Lee Han showed.
Even though he got a perfect score on the test, he walked out with a cool expression on his face. How could he be so happy just because a cabbage from the garden was still alive…
“Cabbage that has been hit by frost tastes good. “That’s good.”
“I thought he was dead because he was buried in snow for almost a week.”
“…!”
The thunderous professor who was listening was startled.
I was so distracted by Lee Han’s joy that I missed it, but when I thought about it, it didn’t make sense for the vegetables that had been buried in the snow for a week to be alive.
No matter how powerful the staff given by the tree spirit is…
‘Did this guy’s magic amplify the staff’s vitality?’
“Your magic amplified the staff’s vitality.”
“indeed.”
Lee Han answered roughly, shook off the snow from the vegetables, and put them in the basket.
“…It’s not something that deserves such a quick answer!”
“uh. Is that so?”
Lee Han looked puzzled as he held the potato.
Wasn’t it said that the magic power amplified vitality because it matched well with the tree spirit’s staff?
“That’s true, but…”
Professor Thunderstruck was frustrated by the fact that the student in front of him was a first year student.
If it were another wizard, ‘You amplified the power of the staff that was given to you by a spirit, not you? No matter how much magic power there is, the response would have been, ‘How?’
The magician himself had unconsciously amplified the power of an artifact given to him by another being, not one he had created!
“…done. Anyway, just know that it’s amazing. By the way, Professor Willow would be happy to see you care so much.”
“Are you talking about Professor Willow?”
Lee Han turned his head at the name of Professor Willow, who taught botany.
The thunderous professor tilted his head at the reaction.
“Have you ever met? “Professor Willow won’t teach first grade, right?”
‘Oops.’
“I met you by chance.”
“okay. “Professor Willow is a great person.”
As if he were not an alchemy professor, the thunderous professor praised Professor Willow.
An alchemist who needs ingredients is bound to be weak to a horticulturist.
“It’s not necessarily because you’ve met Professor Willow, but Professor Willow is a really great person. “He is beyond reproach because of his personality…”
“All right. professor. “I will definitely tell you.”
Seeing his student understand right away, the thunderous professor wiped his nose with an embarrassed expression.
Even if the student was very good, the teacher would be embarrassed.
While Lee Han was clearing snow from the garden, slicing and cutting up the vegetables, frying them in oil, and pouring broth to boil, the thunder-walking professor sat at the table in front of the hut, scribbling his quill.
Lee Han, who brought out vegetable soup made by boiling cabbage, potatoes, onions, and carrots in a pot and seasoning it with salt and pepper, was puzzled when he saw the thunderous professor.
“What are you doing?”
“Did you boil everything? where are you. “I think you could become a chef later.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“no. “I’m serious.”
“There’s no way the chef is that easy.”
“I’m really serious…”
Professor Thunderstruck was truly sincere.
Every time I saw this student, his cooking skills were improving.
“So what were you doing?”
“ah. This letter? “You will soon find out.”
The thunderous professor waved his cane. Then, the written letters turned into birds and began flying to each tower.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Professor Garcia gathered people together to catch the monster summoned deep into the library.”
“…I guess so?”
Lee Han took a spoonful of soup and paused.
It suddenly became ominous.
“Now that we can bring the books we need, I sent them to the students to bring them.”
“……”
* * *
Same time.
The students inside the tower were looking at the note hanging on the wall with bewildered expressions.
A list of books to bring from the library.
-Introduction to basic mineral science
-Edible plants in the central part of the empire
-Wizards who survived after eating poison
-A great alchemical vision born from failure
…
Lee Sang, Thunder Step Geumdar
Whoosh!
Surprisingly, this note was only the beginning.
Messages from other professors also began to fly through the window.
“Window… let’s close the window!”
If the students were so embarrassed, they were intrigued by Gainando’s words.
* * *
“But there is no need to bring one book per person. “One copy for each tower would be enough.”
When the thunderous professor spoke with an expression of generosity, Lee Han regretted not adding poison while making the soup earlier.
“…but the books aren’t that deep, right?”
“Well, that’s it? “It’s usually close to the entrance, but the Einrogard Library is a mixed place every time I go… If you’re unlucky, you might have to go a little deeper.”
“…But it wouldn’t be that dangerous, right?”
“It’s dangerous. “It would be better if we all go in together.”
“…I think the soup is cold. I’ll boil it again.”
“for a moment. “You’re not trying to poison yourself, are you?”
“Is that possible?”
“You sit down. “I’ll cook for you this time.”
The thunderous professor stood up and blocked his student.
In any case, he was a disciple who could not let down his guard.
* * *
Congratulations.
“???”
The monster in the library has been caught.
“ah…”
The students were moved to tears by the skeleton principal’s congratulations.
That’s what I mean…
You must be racking your brain to get a book by now. I will help you.
“yes? “Can you lend me a book?”
A silencing spell was placed on the mouth of the student who spoke nonsense. The skeleton principal spoke sharply.
A wizard should not just give fish away but teach them how to catch them. Don’t ever say such nonsense again.
‘Rather, it seems like you’re hanging a rock around your ankle and pushing it into the water.’
“Then how can you help me?”
I asked well. There is no basic magic character education lecture today. Instead, everyone should go back to the tower and get ready.
“Ready for what?”
Ready to go to the library. This will be everyone’s first dungeon.
“Isn’t it? “I went with Lee Han last time.”
A silencing spell was placed on Guynando’s mouth. The skeleton principal glared at Lee Han once.
‘It’s not my fault.’
Lee Han felt unfair.
The thunderous professor ordered it!
When everyone is ready, you can enter the library. We need to get in before it gets too dark, so hurry.
One student raised his hand and asked, as if he didn’t understand.
“Are you going in with us by any chance?”
Are you a student or am I a student? why me?
“…?”
“Then how can you help me? ah. “Maybe we can provide equipment or food…”
I will postpone the lectures until tomorrow evening. So that everyone can focus on the library.
“……”
The students were all at a loss for words, perhaps moved by the skeleton principal’s grace.
