Episode 344
“you’re right!”
“……”
When Rowena responded quickly, Lee Han looked at her in astonishment.
However, Rowena did not notice Lee Han’s gaze and continued to speak with a happy face.
“Wardanaz here is favored by the professor even though we study other magic together.”
‘Those White Tiger Tower guys are really clueless.’
Lee Han lamented inwardly.
I don’t even know if the other person is Professor Verdus’ enemy or friend, so what if he suddenly says he’s a student?
“Right.”
“Puyo, do you know Professor Verdus?”
“They tried to cut me up before.”
“……”
“……”
The atmosphere became cold.
The princess and Lee Han looked at Rowena at the same time.
The look in his eyes was like, ‘What are you going to do with this atmosphere?’
Unlike Lee Han, who was able to quickly mediate even between the demons of hell, Rowena did not have such talent.
Rowena didn’t know what to do, but eventually uttered one word.
“Well… were you cut?”
“…Hey… that’s not real…”
It was such an absurd sound that even Kltran stuck out his tongue.
Lee Han, who was worse off, intervened.
“This is truly unbelievable. No matter what, you’re trying to cut up someone else’s body. Even though I am learning under the professor, I have always thought that his behavior was not right.”
“That’s right, that’s right. And Wardanaz doesn’t get favored because he wants to. “What kind of crazy person would want to work for a professor during vacation?”
When Ktran excused himself, he waved his hand as if he had become Puyo.
“Just because you have a grudge against your teacher doesn’t mean you have a grudge against your student. And it’s not that I don’t understand Professor Verdus. If it were me, I would have wanted to cut it. “The body of a tree spirit hybrid is a precious material.”
Usually, spirit hybrids would appear because there were people among the ancestors who made a contract with spirits.
The power contained in the blood often manifests itself in later generations, causing people to awaken as mixed blood.
To that extent, the body of a spirit hybrid was a valuable material.
‘hmm. ‘You’re crazy.’
Of course, such an explanation did not convince the students’ true feelings.
The moment Puyo said, ‘Even if it were me, I would have wanted to cut him,’ the students already thought of Puyo as a crazy person, at least 0.5 of Professor Verdus.
‘Are all granting wizards crazy?’
“I’m curious about something other than what happened between me and Professor Verdus. “You’re favored by Professor Verdus?”
“It’s a bit exaggerated.”
“Have you ever met separately outside of lecture hours?”
“Uh…yeah.”
“Have you ever met separately and worked together?”
“Yeah…yes.”
“Did you allow me to work in Professor Verdus’ workshop?”
“No… that’s…”
“Isn’t this a question that can just be answered with ‘yes’ or ‘no’?”
“…yes.”
“It’s true that you are loved.”
Lee Han was truly aggrieved, but could not think of anything to refute.
“Professor Verdus doesn’t usually treat his students that way. “You must be truly talented.”
“It’s because of magical power.”
Lee Han set out to explain.
I have a lot of magic power, so Professor Verdus is targeting that magic power like a bully…
After hearing the explanation, Puyao nodded in surprise.
“So that’s it!”
“yes. Professor Verdus…”
“ah. That wasn’t the sound. “When you came in, I felt a terrible sense of intimidation.”
“……”
Li Han belatedly remembered that Puyao was a mixed spirit.
I didn’t say anything so I thought there was no problem…
“Did you?”
“It did. But there’s nothing to worry about. “I have met many customers who are more dangerous than you.”
“It’s not much of a consolation.”
Lee Han became bitter.
To a person with a ferocious appearance, say, ‘It’s okay! Saying ‘I’m better than the empire’s greatest criminals!’ was no consolation.
“But it’s a little strange. “No matter how much magic Professor Verdus’ personality may have, he wouldn’t let an incompetent student participate in his work.”
“I guess you needed that much magic power.”
Li Han grumbled cynically, but Fuyao became curious instead of accepting.
“You said you were a freshman, right? How many circle enchantments were successful?”
“…4…”
“what? “I didn’t hear you right.”

“4…circle…”
There was silence for a moment.
Everyone from Li Han’s friend to Fuyao stared at Li Han.
No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t a level of magic that a freshman could already succeed at.
“Right.”
“So that’s how it happened…”
“no. “It’s okay if you don’t tell me that much.”
Puyao, who was not very curious about what happened behind the scenes, cut off Lee Han’s words.
Whether Professor Verdus forced him to do it or Lee Han was lucky enough to do it, the important thing was that he succeeded.
That’s all you need to know. What’s so important about the circumstances involved?
“If you are working with Professor Verdus, you must have created a few simple artifacts. “What did you make?”
Puyao seemed to be really interested, so he took up a piece of paper and a quill and asked a question.
Lee Han answered cautiously.
“I made magic fireworks.”
“Magic fireworks. “It must have been difficult for a freshman.”
“??”
Kltran, who was listening, asked in puzzlement.
“Was there anything like that in the lecture?”
“I was called in separately and made it.”
“……”
‘How many times has this bastard been summoned?’
Obviously, each day had the same 24 hours, but something was strange.
Why does Wardanaaz’s day seem to be several times longer than others?
“Magic fireworks… was that the end?”
“You have a shield, right? Wardanaz.”
Rowena whispered. Lee Han answered softly.
“Thank you so much.”
“…Well, if I did something wrong…”
“shield? “What kind of shield is it?”
“Well, floating and automatic defense…”
“You also reflected.”
“A reflection?!”
When Kltran intervened, Lee Han closed his eyes tightly.
‘I think I know why the Blue Dragon Tower and the White Tiger Tower fight every time.’
“Did you do the reflection separately…”
“Even the reflective properties… I was honestly surprised.”
The faster Puyao’s quill moved, the more anxious Li Han became.
Usually, professors did things like that often, but after doing it, it wasn’t very nice for Lee Han.
After asking persistently, Puyao put down the quill with satisfaction.
“indeed. “I understand why Professor Verdus worked with us.”
“The professor has never said anything nice, but…”
“That’s because of Professor Verdus’ personality. You can tell by looking at actions, not words. I’ve heard many times that Einrogard’s students are outstanding, but this is truly surprising. Hmm… would you like to come this way?”
Puyao pointed to the inside of the workshop, which was not allowed earlier.
Lee Han, who saw that, felt ominous.
It was a similar feeling to when Professor Verdus called Lee Han.
“Mr. Puyo. “Can the princess come here too?”
“?!”
The princess, who had been thinking that Lee Han had gone inside the workshop, was taken aback.
“Wardanaz…!”
“Wardanaz, I heard that this bastard is considerate.”
Rowena and Ktran were impressed by Lee Han’s thoughtfulness.
I had the opportunity to tour Puyao’s workshop with my friends.
However, the princess had different thoughts from the two.
I had a strong feeling that Lee Han called because he didn’t want to be dragged away alone.
“Do whatever you want. “I didn’t ask, but I’m sure he doesn’t have any skills.”
“It’s okay. Let’s go.”
The princess nodded at Lee Han’s words and reflected slightly.
Doubting the good intentions of a friend who is being kind to you purely out of feeling?
It was an arrogant act that could not have been possible for a member of the royal family.
“…Thank you for having me.”
“no. Instead, if Puyao asks me to do something, let’s do it together.”
“…!!”
The princess looked at Lee Han walking ahead with a look of astonishment.
I…?!

“Try trimming these canes.”
Puyao held out pieces of wood along with paper with drawings on them.
Lee Han and the princess sat on chairs inside the workshop and quietly began working.
Lee Han felt like the princess was staring at him from the side, but he ignored him and pretended not to see him.
‘I’ll have to avoid eye contact until I leave.’
Originally, when the professor called, it was better to go with another friend.
You could divide the work and, above all, if the worst situation happened, you could escape while leaving your friend as the scapegoat.
Of course, there was a minor problem that my friend might resent.
“That’s great.”
Puyo was satisfied with the two students’ work.
In the case of Lee Han, I had high expectations not only because of what I had just heard but also because of Professor Verdus’ assurance, and he did not disappoint at all.
At this level, he was much better than a half-baked rookie enchantment wizard.
The same was true in the case of the princess.
I was worried about whether he would be okay after hearing what other followers said, but seeing him move his hands made me feel like he was born with magical talent.
Sharpening a cane wasn’t something you could just look at and follow the picture.
I had to understand the flow of magic around the staff that was felt every time I sharpened it, and adjust the shape so as not to go against that flow.
Since it was something that a magician lacking in sense could not do, no matter how much he was told, the results of the two were all the more satisfying.
Puyo gave them a few more assignments after that, and they did them well.
Puyao finally became convinced and opened his mouth.
“Would you like to learn some enchantment at my workshop during the remaining vacation?”
“!”
Puyo’s offer wasn’t just a job offer.
Puyo was an artifact craftsman recognized not only in Grandeur City but also in the Empire.
Moreover, Puyao was so picky that most magicians would not even accept him as a workshop disciple.
Receiving an offer to work under Puyo was in itself an increase in reputation. Moreover, the two were still freshmen.
The princess nodded.
“…I will do my best.”
Puyo even responded as if he was grateful.
“I wouldn’t say it’s easy, but I’m sure you’ll learn a lot…”
As Fuyao spoke, he realized something strange.
Only the princess responded.
“Do you have any other plans?”
When Li Han hesitated to answer, not only Puyao but also the princess was taken aback.
What kind of nonsense is this, that he brought them here and left them alone?
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
Ignoring the princess hitting him from the side, Lee Han cautiously opened his mouth.
“I… I have a question.”
“Ask me.”
“Do you get paid as well?”
It was an important issue for Lee Han.
People like Professor Verdus were already exploiting Lee Han without paying a single gold coin.
However, no matter how great the enchantment wizard was, he did not want to increase the number of exploiters.
“Come out. “Are you kidding?”
Fu Yao did not understand Li Han’s question and tilted his head.
It made no sense for a student of this caliber to ask such a question.
“yes. It was a joke. sorry. I want to work too! i look forward to.”
“I am asking you to take care of me.”
Li Han held Fuyao’s hand and shook it.
Puyao’s workshop was a really good job, as long as it paid well.
More than anything, it was great to be able to freely access rare materials.
Among these, there will probably be one or two that are thrown away.
‘What would you say if I told you to take it and practice?’
Lee Han, who was happy on the inside, asked something that suddenly occurred to him.
“But will Professor Verdus be dissatisfied if he finds out I work here?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Lee Han was relieved by Puyao’s immediate answer.
There was no doubt that the magicians passed this on to each other tacitly.
“ah. As expected, the magicians respect each other in this regard…”
“Because the guy who originally got it taken away was an idiot.”
“……”
