Episode 576
monday.
Students left the door of the dormitory tower with emotions such as tension, frustration, fear, regret, liberation, and anticipation.
“Are you expecting Nilia now?”
“oh my god. “How confident you are…”
“Oh, no. “I was looking forward to the end of the semester after this week!”
“There is nothing to be humble about. Neilia. “You can be confident because we are the ones who didn’t study.”
“I’m not confident either…!”
As if to bless the fact that it was the last week, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
“It’s snow.”
“I think I look pretty when I’m dressed warmly.”
“that’s right. “I think it could be lowered further.”
The students were much more relaxed.
If you were wearing an old, worn-out coat, the cold wind would seep inside even if you used all kinds of magic, but it was a different story if you were well-armed with winter gear like you are now.
The students, who were draped in thick cloth scraped from outside and filled with hot heating potions in their coat pockets, stood firm despite the thick snowfall.
“Don’t be crazy.”
Nilia looked with a straight face.
Staying up all night in the coldest part of the northern mountain range gave me a keen sense of how scary snow can be.
What a big deal!
“Everyone pray that the snow doesn’t get worse until next week. okay?”
“S-sorry. “Nilia.”
“We were wrong…”
The Black Turtle Tower friends became sullen as they looked at Nilia.
The white eyes were just pretty, but Nilia was very strict.

Lee Han was the first to arrive at Professor Garcia’s classroom.
I woke up early in the morning, stopped by the stable, comforted the sulking Vonrigg, and went back to the dormitory to prepare a meal. Thanks to the priests waking up early and helping me out, it ended much faster than expected.
“hello. professor.”
“Student Lee Han. “Why did you come so early?”
Professor Garcia, who was checking the final exam prepared in the classroom for the last time, was puzzled when he saw Lee Han.
“I want to help you.”
“I told you to rest, but what if you come early?”
Professor Garcia waved his hand and told me to go sit to the side.
“I’m preparing for other exams. “After all, preparations for the final exam are over.”
“yes. “If you still need help, please call me.”
As Lee Han walked, he glanced at the exam room.
Professor Garcia’s final exam was a comprehensive examination of the life magic learned during this semester.
Go deep into the water with <Water Breathing>, remove poison with <Lesser Detox>, and find your way underwater with <Amplify Vision>…
Lee Han already knew because Professor Garcia showed it to him last week.
however…
“professor. Shouldn’t the water be darker?”
Lee Han asked, puzzled.
I’m sure you said to Professor Garcia, ‘I think the water needs to be darker’?
“ah. That’s it. “Looking at it, I thought it would be okay to just do that.”
“Is that so…?”
‘I think it should be darker.’
No matter how much he thought about it, it felt like it had to be darker, but Lee Han was convinced and moved on.
If Professor Garcia says that, there must be a reason.
“really. professor. Were the fake passages added?”
“no. “I don’t think it’s necessary to do that.”
“oh. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to add some fake passages?”
Although releasing the dark element into the water was blocked, Lee Han thought the fake passage was worth adding.
It will definitely be a more exciting test.
“It’s getting too difficult.”
“Is that so…”
Lee Han became a little nervous.
As was the case last time, Professor Garcia showed him this favor, but Lee Han was unable to repay him at all.
‘We have to find improvements somehow.’
“Could it be poison…?”
“Student Lee Han. “I’m sitting and studying something else.”
“yes…”
Lee Han sat down with regret.
As I took out a book to study and was reading it, Professor Garcia suddenly asked me if I had an idea.
“Student Lee Han.”
“oh. Do you have anything for me to work on?”
“That’s not it. Are you raising a giant?”
“?!?!!”

“Am I the only one who finds it strange that Lee Han is sitting over there?”
Gainando asked his friends as he prepared to take the test.
From the moment he entered the classroom, Lee Han was sitting on the chair next to the professor and reading a book from a different school.
“Isn’t it strange?”
“You must have seen it first.”
“Or maybe I just passed. Look ahead. Cainan Island. Did you breathe underwater properly? “Don’t spit out water like last time.”
“I made a mistake once!”
“Once becomes twice and two becomes three. ruler. Go in.”
with a plop!
Students went into the water one by one to take the test.
Next to him, Lee Han, who was writing “On Wodanaz’s Sub-Octane and Its Basic Principles” as well as he could, paused for a moment.
Then he approached Nilia, who was coming up after finishing the exam.
“Huh, huh. “I was almost fooled…!”
“Nilia. “Nilia.”
Nilia was happy to see Lee Han approaching.
Professor Garcia’s final exam was more tiring and required more concentration than expected.
I couldn’t relax at all while trying to find the right answer and get out of the dark water without getting caught in a trap.
When I saw the friend I was waiting for coming over to cheer me up while I was so exhausted and tired, I wondered if this was friendship.
“ruler. drink.”
“…thank you.”
Nilia was slightly moved and softened her usual sharp attitude.
Lee Han quietly asked Nilia, who was sipping hot coffee.
“Wasn’t it too bright in the water?”
“what? “What do you mean?”
“When I went inside, the passage was very easy to find…”
“no. “It was dark and hard to find.”
Nilia said, trembling.
The water was colder than I thought and it took a lot of stamina.
“really? “You didn’t cast the spell wrong?”
“…Wardanaz…what are you doing now?”
Nilia looked at Lee Han with very suspicious eyes.
I was impressed at first, but as I continued to listen, it seemed like there was some evil intention hidden in this conversation.
“no. nothing. ruler. “Eat this too.”
“I’m trying to appease you with a snack now…”
“really. It snowed a lot today. “Does the Shadow Patrol still move on days like this?”
“It’s like that.”
“and. “It’s really amazing.”
“It’s not that great. It’s basic. People who live in the northern mountains are used to snow. I’ve had something like this before. I was trapped in a small cabin used by mountain rangers, and there was a blizzard for a week. “I just can’t get out…”
Lee Han nodded and glanced to the side.
Another friend was coming out.
“Yoner. Joner. ruler. “Here’s coffee.”
“huh? thanks…”
“Wasn’t it too bright in the water?”
“……”
Yoner, who was sipping coffee while thinking for a moment, looked at Lee Han to see what was on his mind and asked back.
“Did you tell Professor Garcia to increase the difficulty level of the exam?”
“…?!”
Lee Han looked at his friend in surprise.
Yoner shook his head.

Alchemy final exam.
Professor Thunderstruck was amazed to see students coming in with bundles of reagents.
“Among the students I’ve taught, this is the first time I’ve ever had students take a test as comfortably as you.”
“thank you. professor.”
“It’s not a compliment.”
“Then no thanks. professor.”
The thunderous professor hung Ratford upside down and continued speaking.
“Originally, the test starts with gathering materials, but you prepare in advance like this…”
“Isn’t preparation also a skill?”
“Wardanaz it’s because of you!”
The thunderous professor was astonished by the shameless attitude of his best student.
The guy who went outside with his friends and swept up all the reagents!
“okay. Preparation is also a skill. I won’t say anything. “The principal doesn’t like going out, but I don’t really care about you guys going out.”
“Then please get off…”
The thunderous professor threw Ratford down.
Then he moved the chalk and wrote on the blackboard.
Potion of Resistance
‘done!’
Lee Han was relieved when he saw the name of the potion.
Students who had prepared a lot for the test also showed a similar reaction to Lee Han.
<Potion of Resistance> was one of the topics that I thought would appear on the final exam.
“What is a resistance potion?”
“……”
Of course, not all my friends studied a lot.
The thunderous professor explained while looking pitifully at the student who was asking the question, even though he said it clearly during the lecture.
“As I have said several times, this potion of resistance must work in a wide range of directions. “Sometimes clumsy alchemists make potions that only work on one side and make the mistake of making the same mistake.”
The resistance potion was a potion that increased the drinker’s endurance, or something like defense.
The reason it was not called a defense potion was simple. It was a slightly different concept from defense power.
It was a defense potion that made the skin harden and repelled when an arrow flew, but it was a resistance potion that reduced pain even when the powerful impact of the arrow shook the inside of the body.
Sometimes, unusual monsters would cause damage through visual or auditory contact.
These were the types of monsters that made you vomit blood just by looking at them or fainting just by hearing their cries.
Also, even if they did not go that far, illusion wizards would cast magic by contacting the opponent’s five senses.
In order to prepare for situations like this, something like a resistance potion was essential.
‘Sprinkle the crushed stone with a bronze mortar three times, change the direction twice with the wand, and when the water boils golden…’
Excellent alchemy students, including Lee Han, proceeded with their work without hesitation.
The thunderous professor watched the scene and asked.
“I think you forgot to measure it in advance?”
At that, the students took out a newly purchased balance scale artifact outside.
The thunderous professor frowned at the sight of the scale moving the weight on its own and measuring the weight.
‘I think I know why the principal hates going out so much!’
When I saw the freshmen making potions easily with artifacts, I felt like criticizing them for no reason.
“joy. The resistance potion is not that easy. “If you rush like that, you’ll definitely…”
pop!
A flame rose above Nilia’s pot.
Only then did the thunderous professor relax his expression and become happy.
“ruler. It goes like this. “It must be really difficult to bring that back to life.”
But Nilia paid no heed and emptied the entire contents of the pot.
Then, I took out new reagents from the reagent bag and started working right away.
Even if I failed a few more times in the future, it didn’t really hurt me because I had enough money.
“……”
Professor Thunder Gaet decided that next year’s first-year final exam should be composed of problems using reagents that can never be found on the market.
“Wardanaz. “I’m trying to check the effect. Is there any magic you recommend?”
Batrek spoke to Lee Han.
Since he was excellent at alchemy, he seemed to want to check the potions of other White Tiger Tower students on his behalf.
“Originally, you have to drink it and then hit it with magic, but if that’s not possible, you have to do it in a way that stimulates the five senses.”
You can check whether the potion worked well by looking at loud noises, strong smells, or spicy tastes.
After hearing those words, Batrek was lost in thought.
“It’s stimulation…”
“There are onions here. How about this?”
“It might be a good idea.”
“Did you drink the potion? “Try it.”
Lee Han fed Batrek a piece of onion.
Bartrek frowned.
“I made this wrong.”
“Well. Try the next potion. Did you drink it? ruler. here.”
“Ugh.”
Bartrek drank a potion, ate an onion, drank another potion, and ate an onion.
Before he knew it, tears were forming in the corners of Bartrek’s eyes.
“Bartrek! “I made it again!”
“…I think this went well. “Onions are not spicy.”
“really?!”
Lee Han, who was watching from the side, tilted his head and said.
“It’s not? “The color is dull.”
“…Thank you very much. Wardanaz. “I almost passed by mistake.”
“Why with something like this?”
Lee Han cheered for Batrek.
It was very admirable to see him making all his own potions and helping his fellow top friends.
“Wardanaz. “Go when you’re done.”
“I tried to increase the purity by filtering it a little more.”
“Full score. good.”
“You haven’t seen it, have you?”
“I guess it’s perfect. Get out of the way. “You get a perfect score.”
“No, but I worked hard to make it…”
The thunderous professor kicked the slumping Lee Han out of the classroom with the ladle he was holding.
