Episode 034
“You can’t say anything to a top disciple with thunderous steps.”
“…I’m really happy.”
Lee Han struggled to control his facial expression.
Even when I didn’t really like the kindness shown by the professor, I had to manage my facial expressions.
Because the distraught professor was scarier than most devils.
Lightning strides forward and stops 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 solid physique and well-muscled body.
The white horse stared at Lee Han and blinked. There was no sense of violence there.
If Lee Han was a little younger, he might have been deceived and thought, ‘Did the professor really give me such a nice gift?’
However, Lee Han is a person who has experienced all kinds of hardships.
I wasn’t easily fooled.
‘Isn’t this the devil transformed into a white horse?’
There is definitely something there!
“ruler. These are really good words. But he has the roughest and most difficult temperament in this stable. “If you can tame this horse, you will be able to easily tame other monsters.”
Lightning Walk said with a very happy expression.
“Of course, it might be too difficult for a first-year student.”
“If you think so, then change it…”
“But you, Wardanaz, who dealt with the Thunderbird so skillfully, will be able to do it! “I trust you!”
‘shit.’
If you do well, the level of difficulty increases!
How could it be so irrational and absurd…
While Lee Han and Professor Lightning Walk were talking, other students were unable to let go of their lingering feelings and were approaching various horses and trying to talk to them.
“Aren’t you nice? Good… evil! “I bit you!”
“Stop spitting! “Stop spitting!”
“You’re headbutting!?”
Of course, the words were not easy.
As the chaos continued, Nilia spoke carefully to her friends.
“Shouldn’t we become friends with the horses first?”
“You’re trying to become friends, right?”
“So don’t just come up and try to pet it, there’s something else to it. “He comes out early in the morning and brushes his hair, cleans the inside, feeds him…”
Nilia didn’t think she was saying anything particularly strange.
Even when I worked at <Shadow Patrol>, I had to show this level of sincerity to tame unfamiliar beasts.
If you don’t consistently put in the time and effort, the other person won’t open their heart.
“Why do you have to go to such lengths?”
“You have to come out to the stables early every morning?”
“?!”
But surprisingly, other students reacted in rejection.
At least Black Turtle Tower had many students from wealthy families.
Horses are looked after by servants or slaves; there is no need to take care of them yourself.
‘Are you all idiots!?’
Nilia was about to say, ‘Do you still think you’re out of school?’ but held back.
If you say something like that, Nilia will be treated like a weird person.
I had no choice but to just keep quiet.
‘I have to come out and do it alone. Later, if I see the horses listening to me, maybe other people will listen to me too.’
Ihan and Yoner spoke to Nilia, who was walking sullenly with her ears hanging down.
“Nilia. “Did you choose your horse?”
“We’re going to come out every morning from now on and take care of the horses. Do you want to join us?”
“…huh!!”
Nilia hugged Ihan and Yoner with a tearful expression.
A true friend didn’t care if they were from different towers.
Ihan and Yoner looked at Nilia in bewilderment.
‘Why are you doing this?’
‘well…?’

After the basic vehicle training lecture, Lee Han headed to Professor Thunder Walk’s cabin with Lightning Walk Professor.
In fact, to be precise, it was closer to being dragged rather than going together. Because Lee Han couldn’t refuse Professor Lightning’s words.
“I came… no.”
Lee Han saw it clearly.
The thunderous professor’s eyes shake greatly and his complexion becomes cloudy when he sees an adult in the family!
“…What’s going on here?”
“Do you need a reason to meet your nephew? Get out of the way. Oh my! Also, they are living in a hut in a corner like this. It’s not organized properly! Look at this dust!”
“I’m pretty organized.”
Thunderwalk tried to protest in its own way.
In fact, after Lee Han came, the cabin was quite tidy.
“You’re talking like a theorem! What kind of theorem is this! Alchemy is good, but now I have to think about finding a true partner and having children. How long do you plan on living alone? “The elders are worried about you…”
“……”

The thunderbolt looked at Lee Han as if asking him to save him. Lee Han couldn’t refuse that look.
“I. professor. Shall we prepare a meal?”
“ah. okay. I brought my student here, so I have to feed him. You stay still. Thunder walking. Because the food you cooked was tasteless. “I’ll make it delicious, Eastern style.”
“No, I don’t really like Eastern food…”
“What did you say?”
“it’s nothing.”
Thunderwalk mumbled and then closed its mouth. Then he looked at Lee Han and spoke in an earnest voice.
“Did something happen to you?”
A voice that conveys the intention to please return to the topic.
Lee Han wondered what to say.
Should I at least talk about joining the Pricinga Church?
“for a moment. “That wand…”
It was only then that Thunder Gaet realized that Lee Han’s cane was something he had never seen before.
“Where did you get that wand?”
“ah. “You mean this?”
Lee Han thought for a moment.
Then he asked again.
“Are you keeping our secrets?”
“……”
The thunder steps were absurd.
I was just asking to change the subject lightly, but I never thought something like that would come back.
Moreover, just saying something like that looks suspicious…
“…I will protect you.”
“Hey. “Our blood relatives always keep secrets.”
Lightning walked towards the cutting board from behind, washed his hands for a moment, and then approached.
“No matter what the secret is, you don’t let out what you heard at the dinner table. By the way, what kind of idiot are you and the only ingredients you have are bread and meat?”
“ah. “I can take care of myself and eat well…!”
“That’s why your health is weakening! Eastern eating habits are best for dwarves. You should eat rice, not wheat. “I’ll make you some delicious stew.”
Thunderwalker’s expression was tinged with sadness.
The dwarf professor asked Lee Han again, intent on changing the topic somehow.
“So how did you get that wand? “I can feel the energy of life…”
Lee Han summarized and elaborated quite a bit on what happened that night.
-I happened to go up the mountain for a walk at night and came across a talking oak tree…
“…By chance, I went deep into that mountain for a walk at night???”
“yes. “Walking is always the best when you go to such a quiet and remote 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.’
‘An escape attempt.’
Isn’t there only one reason for freshmen to go to the mountains on weekend nights?
“But wait a minute. You met a talking oak tree? “Have you solved the riddle?”
“yes. “How do you know?”
“It’s a fairly famous spirit… So I guess you got that wand from the talking oak tree.”
Thunderwalk nodded with interest and looked at the staff.
The talking oak trees had a strict and annoying personality, but their vision and knowledge could not be ignored.
The staff that Lee Han was holding was filled with the vital energy of the tree spirit. It was a unique cane that was not commonly seen.
“Is there any effect on this wand?”
Lee Han asked in a slightly expectant voice.
Since he was a human being, it was impossible not to have expectations.
I made it sound like the talking oak tree was quite an amazing thing…
“That cane is good for farming.”
Lightning walked and placed the boiling pork stew on the wooden table.
The stew had a smell that made Lee Han’s heart flutter thanks to the well-ripened kimchi (the name was something like pickled cabbage in the East, but Lee Han just called it kimchi) that was stir-fried and various seasonings and pork cut up and boiled.
As a Korean by birth, Lee Han has always been familiar with the eastern imperial diet, a typical Korean style cuisine.
In contrast, Thunderwalker’s expression was tinged with sadness.
It looked spicy at first glance because it had green onions and peppers in it and it was red.
‘I have a disciple, so if you cook spicy Eastern food like this as you like…’
“thank you for this food.”
“?!”
Uregeol was surprised to see Lee Han scooping up a large spoonful of white rice and rolling it into the bowl in front of him.
You eat well!?
‘Isn’t it spicy? Was he a guy who always enjoyed spicy food?!’
“also. As expected from a disciple of Thunderwalk, you know how to eat food. Wodanaz.”
Lightning Walk said with a satisfied expression.
Because the empire was so large, there were people who could not eat dishes from regions other than their own.
Compared to those people, Lee Han, who was eating so heartily, was extremely gratifying.
A way to eat that older dwarves are bound to love!
“Compared to that, why are you so snippy! “Eat quickly!”
“Oh, yes!”
In comparison, Thunderwalker ate slower than his disciples. Lightning Walk finished talking about what he had just said while the dwarf and human were eating.
“Since the tree spirits reside in that wand, it would be great for growing something and making it grow. It’s literally a living wand. A cane like that isn’t commonly available. “It is a very precious item.”
“Uh… are there any other effects?”
“well? “Because that is the most representative effect.”
Of course, helping crops grow wasn’t a bad effect, but it was a bit far from what Lee Han wanted.
‘Was it for farming…?’
I wanted it to be helpful in controlling magical power, even if it wasn’t that holding the wand would make you invincible or allow you to learn magic in dreams…
“Good. “You were planning to plant a garden.”
“It was like that.”
“A vegetable garden?”
Lightning Georeum showed interest in the conversation between Thunder Georeum and Lee Han.
“Weren’t you from the Wardanaz family?”
“This guy is a bit special.”
“It seems so. “What are you going to grow in the garden?”
“I’m trying to eat everything I can.”
“That guy was interested in Eastern cuisine, so he tried planting various things like cabbage and green onions.”
“okay?”
It seemed that the words of the thunder walk made the lightning walk happy. Lightning Walk said as if he was looking forward to it.
“If you want, I can help you.”
“oh. “Are you sure?”
“okay. “I’ve also tended to quite a bit of gardening.”
Lee Han walked out of the cabin with lightning speed.
In the back, there was an empty lot set aside to create Lee Han’s vegetable garden.
Thanks to the soil being cultivated from time to time, it was possible to plant as many seeds or seedlings as possible.
“It would be better to plant things that take a little longer first. Things like potatoes and sweet potatoes will be very useful.”
Lightning Walk knew well how the new students at this school suffered.
Crops that can fill one’s stomach, such as potatoes or sweet potatoes, are very useful.
“It will take at least two months, but if you plant it in advance, you will be thankful later.”
“That is correct.”
Lee Han thought that what Lightning Walk said made sense. I received potato and sweet potato seeds and began planting them step by step in one area of the garden.
‘…I heard you’re from the Wardanaz family?’
Lightning Gaetol was slightly embarrassed to see Lee Han working.
Anyone who has worked at least a little bit could not help but admire Lee Han’s work.
Anyone can see that he is a skilled worker who is a natural worker.
…Are you really from the magical Wodanaz family?
* * *
“…?”
Thunderwalker, who came out of the cabin late and was looking around, felt something was strange.
“Did you come and plant it over the weekend?”
“yes? “You planted it now.”
“okay?”
Thunder Gaet tilted his head.
‘You planted it now?’
But why does it seem like the sprouts have already grown?
