Episode 007
‘It looks like a mixture of reishi mushroom and ginseng.’
That’s what Lee Han thought when he saw the herbs he needed to find.
It is an herb called <Poisonous herb>, and it is written that it is used when making detox medicine.
“Have you ever handled it?”
“huh.”
“Thank goodness.”
Lee Han felt relieved when Yoner said that he had dealt with it before.
It was quite difficult to distinguish what was what among the numerous grasses and herbs scattered around the hills, fields, and forests.
Even if there are pictures of medicinal herbs, it is easy for beginners to get confused.
In that respect, those with experience dealing with it felt reassuring.
“But… it’s a bit awkward for the two of us to move.”
“Is it still dangerous?”
“right? When walking around, at least three is a good idea. “I guess I kicked Gai Nando for no reason.”
“It doesn’t matter because even if I didn’t hit it, it wouldn’t have followed me.”
Yoner grinned at Ihan’s words.
“Then should we just walk around together?”
“no. “I don’t want to be on the death list.”
Einrogard had many vicious rumors to match its reputation.
Because magic is such a dangerous subject, there are many cases of people dying while learning it.
Before Lee Han came here, he thought there was nothing he could do.
No matter how much attention professors give, accidents happen.
But looking at it now…
‘Isn’t it just a case of insensitivity to safety overall?’
Einrogard seemed to have no regrets about the lives of his students, from professors to students. By the standards of modern man Lee Han, they all seemed a bit crazy.
“The death list… Don’t make creepy jokes with that face. “It doesn’t suit me.”
“I wasn’t kidding.”
“If it’s not a joke, it’s scarier, right? huh. After all, it would be nice to have a top boy like me.”
Yoner looked around.
He was planning to find one of the Blue Dragon Tower students and suggest that they go together.
But there was no one.
“Uh… did I ruin it?”
“Can’t I talk to the princess?”
“You somehow want to talk to that princess? “Her personality seems very harsh.”
“You’re just looking for herbs, not throwing a ball, right?”
Yoner nodded at Lee Han’s words. He was right.
“But it seems it’s already too late.”
There were already a few students hanging out near Aden Arth.
The princess also seemed to feel the need to go with a large group, so she had already planned a party.
“no. “The Black Turtle Tower new student is also there?”
Lee Han felt a little unfair.
If you’re going to fear and avoid the Wardanaz family, shouldn’t you also avoid the princess?
But surprisingly, several of the students gathered next to the princess belonged to the Black Turtle Tower.
“Well, that princess was famous in many ways even before she entered school…”
People who are famous even before entering school are famous.
Among the royal family, Adenard was renowned for his outstanding intellect and amazing talent.
It was natural for various nobles and commoners to gather as soon as they entered the school.
“Is that so?”
“…No matter how much you belong to the Wardanaz family, have you ever lived without reading the newspaper?”
“I usually only read ‘Empire’s New Project’ in the newspaper. “I’m not really interested in <News from the Royal Family>.”
“ah. That was fun. Have you seen how adventurers return coins to their used potion bottles instead of throwing them away in the dungeon? “Isn’t this a good idea?”
“It was a good idea.”
“…no. “Now is not the time to talk about that.”
Yoner came to his senses. The story was leaking sideways.
“Anyway, as you could tell just by looking at <News from the Imperial Family>, Aden Arth was famous in many ways. So, it’s natural for people to gather like that.”
“Is there anything wrong with Gainando?”
“There wasn’t any.”
“Right. There’s nothing special about Gainando.”
“It’s really nothing special.”
Gainando, who was taking a potion in the hospital room, was unfairly attacked.
“Then let’s give up princess and find someone else.”
“Will that work? “It looks like the only students left are the Black Turtle Tower students.”
Ihan frowned at Yoner’s words.
‘Hmm.’
Apparently, the only ones left now were the Black Turtle Tower students.
Of course, if I grabbed someone and asked them to move together, some of them might respond.
But since we are moving together, shouldn’t we get in each other’s way?
More than anything…

‘I wish I had the ability.’
When doing something as a group, isn’t the important thing about each other’s abilities?
Lee Han looked around. And I found the right person.
* * *
Nylia, a new student at Black Turtle’s Tower, was a dark elf from the <Shadow Patrol> in the northern part of the empire.
<Shadow Patrol> is a group of excellent hunters and scouts who travel around the northern mountains as if it were their own home.
Having been born in such a place, Nilia was also confident in wandering around the forests and mountains.
‘what. ‘It’s not that difficult.’
I’ve never seen Dok-o-cho in person, but once you know what it looks like, it’s easy to find it.
You can’t compare them with desk-bound novices who have never been in the mountains or forests in their lives.
In fact, after joining Einroguard, Nilia felt inferior.
There were too many outstanding freshmen not only among other top freshmen but also within the same Black Turtle Tower.
He comes from an emerging noble family and a famous merchant family in the empire. Or even a new student whose parents are famous adventurers.
Among these people, Nilia, who had been running around the mountains and forests all her life and was invited to the school, could not help but feel inferior.
The magic classes I took for the first time were overwhelming…
At that moment, she came across a class like this, so it was natural that Nilia’s motivation soared.
‘joy. Just wait and see. ‘Because I can find it several times faster than others.’
Nilia planned to move quickly and look for Pogocho on her own.
Although others say they travel in groups because they are not familiar with the mountains and forests, Nilia was confident even on her own.
“Hmm.”
“?”
Nilia was slightly surprised when someone approached her. She was a pretty girl with red hair.
“…What are you?”
“I am Yoner of House Makin. here is…”
“Lee Han. Please take care of me.”
From what they said, Nilia thought that Yoner was a nobleman and Ihann was a nobleman.
Usually, nobles start by saying their family name when introducing themselves.
‘But you belong to the Blue Dragon Tower?’
“Why are you doing that?”
“You didn’t say your family name…”
Yoner looked at Ihan incredulously.
They said the name, but why didn’t they say the family name?
“Isn’t it too annoying to always say your family name when introducing yourself? “When I go later, I will have to introduce myself, starting with the name of the head of the family and telling them where the family land is.”
“Isn’t that what you do when you have a party with nobles?”
“……”
Ihan was truly disgusted by Yoner’s words.
Nilia, who was watching this, opened her mouth in a wary voice.
“If you two are going to talk, go talk somewhere else. “Why are you coming here and doing this?”
“Would you like to move together?”
“!”
Nilia was surprised by Lee Han’s words.
It was unexpected.
“What are you planning?”
Nilia looked at Lee Han with eyes full of hostility.
She did not think very kindly of children from noble families.
It was like that when I lived in the North.
The nobles who occasionally visited the mountains would frown and ask, ‘How can people live in a place like this?’
Even though the hunters provided them with the best food and the best beds, the nobles kept complaining that it was not tasty, that it was uncomfortable, or that they treated them poorly.
Some of the scouts even joked, ‘If I pretend to guide people up the mountain and push them off the cliff, no one will notice.’
As she grew up in such a place, there was no reason for Nilia to look kindly upon the students of the Blue Dragon Tower.
“It’s disadvantageous to wander alone in such a large place. “If a monster appears, there must be at least three.”
“joy. I do not need.”
Nilia snorted and refused. Lee Han asked without surprise.
“Can I ask why?”
“Why why?”
“Depending on the reason you refused, we can figure out what kind of person you are. hmm. “Shall I give it a try?”
Lee Han thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“You probably didn’t think we would use it as bait or abandon it if it was in danger. “That’s completely disrespectful to both of our honors.”
“…That’s not right.”
Even after hearing those words from two noble families, there was no one who could say, ‘That’s true.’
No matter how reluctant Nilia was to the two, she couldn’t say that.
“Then perhaps you thought that alone was enough?”
“That’s it…”
“I guess that won’t happen. No matter how good you are, you never know what will happen in the mountains and forests. Besides, finding herbs isn’t the end; you also have to dig them up carefully, right? If you think you can do all that on your own, you’re really stupid. I don’t think you are that kind of person. hmm. “I really don’t know why.”
“…shut up. “It’s okay if we go together!”
Nilia huffed and turned around.
Lee Han nodded in satisfaction at that sight. Yoner looked at Ihan in surprise.
‘What on earth is being taught in the Wardanaz family?’
* * *
Nilia’s steps were light and fast.
The way he quickly made a path and walked ahead seemed like a truly skilled hunter.
Yoner asked, looking at Ihan curiously.
“He moves really well, but how did he recognize you and talk to you?”
“Looking at him, his leg and calf muscles were developed, and there were lumps and calluses on his hands and fingers. It happens when you hold a bow. “It’s proof that only an experienced hunter can have.”
“!”
“…!”
Not only Yoner, but also Nilia, who was walking in front, was horrified when she heard this.
How can you guess her origin based on something like that?
I used to look down on him because he came from a noble family, but that boy named Lee Han had a strange aura that couldn’t be underestimated.
It’s like you can see through someone else’s thoughts…
“I was just kidding, there was a <Shadow Patrol> mark on my waist. “If you’re from there, you’re not good at climbing mountains.”
“……”
Nilia suddenly turned her head and glared at Lee Han.
Yoner asked with a smile.
“Were you listening?”
“I wasn’t listening!”
“Let’s go together. “Please adjust your walking speed.”
“Why do I have to guess when you should guess!”
Lee Han responded to Nilia’s words.
“Well, the one here who has the ability to distinguish between herbs is Yoner. “When Yoner collapses from exhaustion, we will find him together.”
“……”
Nilia was speechless again. She said, but her pride did not allow her to force herself.
“okay. “You can delay it.”
“oh. “As expected of the Shadow Patrol, they are wise…”
“Are you making fun of me?? huh??”
“It’s a compliment.”
Perhaps angry at having to keep getting bullied by Lee Han, Nilia turned her arrow.
“He says he will learn about medicinal herbs, and I will act as a guide. What are your abilities? “What is your role?”
‘Wouldn’t you be angry if I called you a free rider?’
Lee Han was about to say that but stopped. There was no need to aggravate the other person’s temper.
“My role is to chase wild animals or monsters around.”
“……”
Nilia was at a loss for words again. When she climbs a mountain, the person responsible for chasing monsters is important.
From the looks of it, Lee Han seemed to come from a family of knights. Because he was tall and his physique was well built, as if it were well built.
‘…uh? Isn’t the knight a white tiger tower?’
“I don’t think I heard you earlier. “Where did you say your family origins are?”
“Wardanaz. The Wardanaz family.”
“……”
Nilia stepped back with a disgusted expression. Lee Han was slightly hurt.
