Episode 343
“Why are you doing that?”
“It is nothing.”
Lee Han came to his senses again.
Although the princess’s extravagant sense of money was dizzying, it was definitely helpful in the current situation.
‘Well, there’s no benefit from going to the professors and asking them for something.’
But… no, even if you asked the professors, there was a high possibility that they would not obediently oblige.
In that case, it would have been easier to receive the favor of sponsors.
“Then let’s go get the cane.”
But Lee Han’s face was distorted.
Rowena saw that and whispered in a worried voice.
“I’m worried that there may be some remnants of the battle that took place earlier.”
“Well, I guess Wodanaz’s personality is such that he won’t say anything even if it’s difficult.”
“I’ll have to stop by and get a checkup on the way.”
* * *
Lee Han, who arrived at the wand shop, asked because he did not understand.
“Why did you just meet the healing wizard?”
“Well, I just wasn’t feeling well so…”
“Are you unwell? “Wouldn’t it be better to rest?”
Lee Han wondered if Rowena was overworked.
So I spoke softly so that only Ktran could hear.
“Does the princess tend to make things a little too hard?”
“?!”
The princess’s eyes widened in frustration.
“Well, it’s not like that.”
“It looks suspicious that you’re stuttering.”
“No?!”
The healing wizard we met earlier looked at Lee Han and confirmed that he could no longer be healthy.
Rowenana C’Tran ‘fought against a poisonous pollutant!’ It was no use saying, ‘That’s right, please take a closer look!’
There really is nothing wrong, so what should I do?
Rather, the other three heard a voice.
-I think I’ve been using a lot of magic recently. Since it was on the verge of depletion of mana, there is still damage left.
-It looks like you’ve been practicing alchemy all night, but if you handle the reagents without proper ventilation, you can be poisoned even if you’re a wizard, so be careful.
Cltran felt that if he said any more, he would only get a strange misunderstanding, so he hurriedly opened the door.
The sign reading “Puyo’s Banyan Tree Staff” spun around and the door opened.
“Puyo is the best wand craftsman in Grandeur City.”
It’s located in the central area of the city, and the exterior of the store is quite old-fashioned, so it doesn’t look like it has a short history.
That alone showed that he was an experienced artifact craftsman.
“Do you know Professor Verdus?”
“well…? “I’m not sure about that.”
Rowena also tilted her head.
The reason the princess and her party were able to visit Puyao’s store was because the patrons were friendly with Puyao, not because they were friendly with Puyao.
In fact, Puyo was far from an easy person for freshmen to become friends with.
An experienced artifact craftsman is a seasoned enchantment wizard.
It wasn’t easy to become friends with wizards who were decades older than you.
“Is this your first time meeting you?”
“I only said hello once outside last time, but this is my first time seeing you like this…”
“Is everyone here?”
A tree walked inside.
To be precise, Puyao was a half-breed tree spirit. His face, hands, and arms resembled tree branches, so he was mistaken for a tree.
“It’s an honor to see you again. Puyo.”
“No more useless greetings.”
Fuyao hated cumbersome ostentation.
If it had not been for the earnest requests of his sponsors in the first place, he would not have allowed young students into his workshop.
“You said you needed wands without any magic, right?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Rowena, overwhelmed by Puyao’s force, stuttered slightly.
Of course, Lee Han didn’t really care.
Among the professors, there were far more crazy people than Puyo.
In fact, a person like Puyao who says what he has to say even if he is blunt is in the top 5% of personality.
clattering-
When Puyao gestured, several boxes piled on a shelf opened and long wands poured out.
It was a wand made purely of wood, with no magic applied yet.
“Do the work only from this side. Don’t come inside. “Don’t mess with anything in the store. Since you are Einroguard students, you must have learned the basics of enchantment.”
The students nodded.
“Then I believe you won’t have any unnecessary accidents.”
With those words, Puyao went into the back of the workshop.
Only then were Rowena and K’Tran able to sigh.

“I was nervous.”
“that’s right. I thought I was suffocating. …Wodanaz. “What are you doing?”
“uh? ah. “I was looking to see if there was any useful cane.”
Lee Han was looking around whether the two were talking about Fuyao or not.
If there was anything good, I was planning on taking it.
“Did you have any thoughts about Puyo?”
“I didn’t really think about it. “Didn’t you just say what was necessary?”
Do your work here, don’t cause trouble, and don’t touch anything else.
I only told him what I really needed, so there was no reason to be scared.
“Let’s sort the wands first. The long one goes this way. “The short one goes over there.”
“i get it. uh. But Wodanaz. “Why are we classifying this?”
In response to Ktran’s question, Lee Han stared at Ktran as if he was looking at Gainan.
Then he smiled and answered.
“The longer the cane, the more effective it is.”
“Ah… that’s right!”
A wand is an artifact that most directly helps a wizard cast magic.
As such, the performance of the wand varied greatly with just a slight change in the material.
In general, the longer the length, the greater the power of the wand, and the higher the strength, the more stubborn the magic.
Of course, anyone who wields a cane had to memorize these general tendencies like rules.
Of course, Ktran didn’t know anything, but he answered as if he did.
“I think so!”
“Kltran. “If you don’t know, just say you don’t know.”
“…sorry. “I didn’t know.”
“Did you sleep during the granting magic class? “It’s what’s in the book.”
“……”
Cletran was filled with resentment.
‘I told you to speak…!’
If he had been a student at the Blue Dragon Tower, he would not have been fooled by this simple trick, but C’Tran, who lacked experience, had no choice but to fall for it.
* * *
Puyo put down his tool while trying to concentrate on his work.
It was probably not easy to concentrate as there were other people in the workshop.
I couldn’t refuse because Puyo’s sponsors had been so earnest, but it was also true that I regretted it.
It wasn’t just that other people were reluctant to enter the workshop.
Even if you are a Einrogard student, you are a new student.
Even if they learned enchantment, it was likely that the time was short and they lacked experience.
Giving quality canes to such students was almost a waste.
It had infinite potential as it had not yet been properly processed, but it broke my heart to think that that potential would be cut short by the students’ clumsy magic and it would become a failure.
‘I can’t bear it anymore.’
Puyao approached the door and glanced at the students to see how they were working.
No matter how much the princess’s sponsors asked her to do, she wasn’t going to sit still if she was working too absurdly.
No matter what excuse you make, stop the work and send it out…
“ruler. Ctran. You said you knew, so tell me now. A wizard specializing in fire elemental magic and summoning magic came here. This wizard’s race is dwarves, and the staff he used before was a staff with a hwalyeongstone embedded in a maple tree. So what wand would you recommend?”
“Uh… uh…”
“Starting with the length.”
“Well, since it is a fire elemental magic, we place importance on power, so it lasts long…”
“Wrong. Even though it is fire elemental magic, power is not necessarily important. In fact, control may be more important. Above all, since the opponent is a dwarf, even if you recommend a long staff, it may be uncomfortable to carry. “Are you sure you learned the bestowing magic?”
“Hmph…”
Ktran was completely stunned. Rowena, who was next to her, was also scared and stuck next to the princess. It seemed that if she fell even a little she would be bombarded with questions, just like Ktran.
‘????’
Puyao, who was watching, was surprised by the unexpected situation.
I thought the students would use their sticks immaturely and waste their time, but they were preparing in a systematic way.
It was amazing.
“But if you just try them one by one and get a feel for them, it won’t work…”
Perfect!
Lee Han hit Kltran with his cane.
“Is there any wand left?”
‘It’s just a leftover…’
Kltran grumbled inwardly, but could not say any more because he was afraid of Lee Han’s cane.
“Before you do anything, you have to calculate it perfectly. ruler. Ctran. Answer me. Which should I give first: the water element, the wind element, or the light element? And which of these wands would suit you?”
“…Can’t you ask Rowena as well?”
“!!”
Rowena was so surprised that her long ears perked up.
He looked at Ktran with eyes full of betrayal, but Ktran didn’t have the presence of mind to care about that right now.
‘Let me live first!’
“Uh, princess?”
“……”
Aden’Art glanced at Rowena. Rowe I lowered my head in embarrassment.
Instead of saying anything more to his followers, Adenart picked up a staff.
“Zelkova wand. You chose well. Ctran. The reason why the water element should be given first is because it is more stable than other elements…”
“Ugh…! I should just say it! I was able to guess! really!”
“Just listen.”
As the students talked, Fuyao wondered if he should change his thoughts just now.
I had heard many times from her followers that the princess’s talent was so outstanding, but looking at it this way, she was definitely different from Einroguard, a collection of outstanding geniuses.
Plus, the boy over there was amazing.
It wasn’t just knowledge about enchantment.
Puyao, an excellent craftsman, could tell his skills by looking at the various preparations he made before starting work.
In that respect, the boy seemed familiar, as if he had never done this before.
No matter how much I learned at Einroguard, it didn’t make sense for me to get used to it so quickly. Wouldn’t you have learned the same as other students?
It was clear that he had natural talent.
‘It’s really amazing. A talent like that is possible.’
Puyao, who did not know that Lee Han had been mistreated by other professors, was purely amazed that he could achieve such a level with talent.
“ruler. “This is the magic circle I will use for the water element today.”
While Fu Yao was admiring, Li Han searched through the book and chose a magic circle.
Kltran asked timidly.
“Wardanaz. “Is there a reason you chose this among the water element magic?”
“It’s a magic circle I’m familiar with because I’ve done it a lot.”
“Right. …uh? “This has never been an assignment, right?”
“I did it separately with Professor Verdus.”
Ktran was impressed by those words.
To the extent of working separately from the professor.
It was also Wardanaz.
“amazing. Wardanaz. “I’m jealous…”
“Kltran. “Before you say you’re jealous, think again about what you’re saying.”
“……”
Kltran thought again.
And when I thought about it again, I wasn’t really jealous.
Although it wasn’t as much as this, all students learning enchantment felt Professor Verdus’ madness to some extent.
Rowena asked curiously.
“But when did you find time during the semester?”
“We did it together during vacation…”
“ah…”
Suddenly there was a heavy silence.
The princess, who was accustomed to silence, looked around in confusion, not knowing how to deal with this atmosphere.
“Were you Professor Verdus’ student?”
It was Puyao who broke the silence.
When Fuyao walked out from inside, Li Han stopped.
‘…If I say I’m a disciple, I won’t be attacked, right?’
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed highly likely that anyone who knew Professor Verdus would have a bad relationship.
