Episode 075
“It’s just pure academic curiosity.”
Lee Han was a man skilled at deceiving professors.
Although Professor Lightning Walk was one of the empire’s most famous explorers, he could never have imagined that Lee Han was looking for a flying vehicle to escape from school.
“I can save it… I guess I can.”
Professor Lightning Walk answered cautiously, looking at Lee Han’s expression to see if he had noticed.
Fortunately, the boy from the Wardanaz family didn’t seem to know.
One of the horses in the stables that the new students look after is a griffon!
“This school is so large that there is nothing missing.”
“There are no warm meals, daily necessities, or consideration for students.”
Professor Lightning Walk ignored Lee Han, pretending not to hear him.
“There are mountains, lakes, underground dungeons, etc., so if you look for them, there’s no way you won’t find flying guys.”
“If I find it, will I be able to tame it?”
“That seems difficult. Taming wild monsters, especially those that fly, is difficult even for trainers who have been trained for several years.”
Professor Lightning Walk spoke with sincerity.
If taming it was that easy, people wouldn’t necessarily choose to fight monsters when they encounter them outside.
Moreover, most of those who knew how to fly were difficult and rough in temperament.
It was difficult to handle with the persistence and knowledge of a freshman.
“First of all, you must fully understand what kind of person the opponent is. Ordinary knowledge is not enough. If you know its habits, you will be able to get to know it little by little and understand its characteristics… It may sound simple, but you will fail dozens of times in this process.”
“professor. If possible, would you be able to receive instruction in your spare time? Of course, I have no intention of making a reckless attempt right now, but…”
It was a lie.
Lee Han planned to move right away from the moment he decided he could do it.
“…If I get the chance to tame a monster in the future, I don’t want to miss it.”
Lee Han’s eyes were burning like fire. He had sincere eyes without any pretense.
Upon seeing those eyes, the lightning-walking professor suddenly became motivated.
Isn’t it impossible for a teacher to remain silent when his student shows such interest?
“good night! I’ll teach you in my spare time. Don’t regret it. “Because it’s not usually a difficult study.”
It was a difficult study that required memorizing thick books about the monsters that were likely to appear in this area and then confronting them with my own body, but the lightning-walking professor thought that the boy from the Wardanaz family would be fine.
If you have that level of interest and passion, it would be possible.
‘You seem to be very interested in flying and exploration. guy…’
‘Find the most likely beast, tame it, and then escape.’
The teacher and student nodded, thinking differently.
After the conversation, the lightning-walking professor trudged off to look at the garden where Lee Han had finished his work.
And I was surprised.
‘What’s wrong with this…?’
The garden that Lee Han received from Professor Thunderwalk was a reasonable size, neither extremely wide nor extremely narrow.
Professor Thunder Walk probably thought that Lee Han would plant a few vegetables and take them with him, so he gave them to him.
However, Lee Han’s garden was now being run so thoroughly that not a single scrap was left.
There were various edible vegetables such as carrots, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage, as well as herbs that could be used as medicine, such as chamomile, basil, and rosemary, no matter where they were obtained.
…You want to start a farm?!
Lee Han, who must have noticed the look in Professor Lightning’s eyes, answered as if he was okay.
“I was worried at first too.”
“…what?”
“I wonder if it’s okay to grow it this narrowly. However, thanks to the tree spirit’s staff, it seems to be growing well without any problems. “Isn’t that really fortunate?”
The lightning-walking professor looked at the jar of milk on the table.
It was a jar that Lee Han had prepared to give to him when he returned.
Looking at what I’m working on now, I didn’t think that would work.
“…Wait. “It would be better to go back and eat something.”
“??”

Lee Han took a bite of a baked potato on a wooden skewer and headed to the dormitory.
It was a romantic evening, as long as you forgot that it was inside a magic school.
On one arm is a basket containing the recent harvest, and on the other arm is a skewer of freshly roasted, salted potatoes…
I felt like a farmer returning home after purchasing plenty of groceries.
‘I think it would be nice to live like this when I retire later.’
Perhaps because of the atmosphere, the new potatoes were really delicious. Even though it was just grilled and salted, it felt like the warm eggs were melting away when I took a bite.
It was a taste that made me understand why Professor Lightning Walk went out of his way to roast it and give it to me.
‘Was it a shame to eat such delicious food alone? Maybe he wanted to show off…’
Lee Han did not even notice that the potatoes that Professor Lightning Walk had hand-roasted were potatoes from his own garden.
“?”
“Her Royal Highness. I organized the materials from the library and brought them with me. Please accept it.”
“I also asked other students to organize what I needed for my assignment! it will help.”
“There is a book I found this time…”
‘what?’
It was the princess and her followers.
The freshmen who had gathered regardless of the tower were sparing no effort in their efforts to help the princess in the lectures she was taking.
Lee Han was surprised as he munched on the potatoes.
‘Was there a way like that!’

It was an enviable method that made me want to report to the professors, saying, ‘The princess is exploiting her classmates with unfair power.’
It’s not enough for Lee Han to wander around the library all night looking for books with his friends, but even if the princess just breathes, information comes rolling in like that.
‘Is it because of the blood of the royal family? But if that’s the case, Gainando is not explained. How on earth do you get followers like that?’
While Lee Han was thinking about such things, the princess thanked her followers and then walked up together.
Lee Han, who was watching while eating potatoes on the stairs, made eye contact with his friends.
“Good evening.”
Lee Han was not embarrassed. The princess’s followers recognized Lee Han’s face and quickly lowered their heads.
Isn’t he a boy from the Wardanaz family who actually rules the Blue Dragon Tower?
If they made a mistake, the princess’s life at the Blue Dragon Tower could become difficult, so it was natural for her to be cautious.
“See you, Wardanaz!”
When someone shouted that, the other students looked at that friend in confusion.
Should we shout along too?
“See you, Wardanaz!”
“Whoa… meet Wodanaz!”
“……”
Lee Han looked around without realizing it. Fortunately, there were no eyes to see.
‘If someone sees me, I will be sent to a punishment room even though I did nothing wrong.’
I don’t know why the followers were trying to mess with Lee Han, but Lee Han answered as calmly as possible.
“Nice to meet you all. “I guess you had a conversation with Her Highness the Princess.”
“yes!”
“I can only thank you for your hard work, Wardanaz, who is always loyal and devoted to Her Majesty the Princess.”
“We look forward to your continued support!”
‘If you don’t take care of these kids, won’t they attack you?’
Fanatic supporters are always scary. Moreover, the princess’s supporters were outside the magic school.
Considering that I would still have a social life after graduation, I had to endure their unfair pressure.
“of course. do not worry.”
Lee Han did not bother to mention that he would receive more silver coins for taking care of the princess.
‘It would be best to change the subject.’
If the story of taking care of the princess continued, Lee Han’s unfair profits could become a hot topic. Lee Han changed the topic.
“Everyone hasn’t even been able to eat dinner. Would you like some?”
“…?”
Only then did the princess’s followers realize that Lee Han was up to something. The fact that he took out one of them and held it out.
It was a baked potato.
The sight of a cold-looking boy with a sculptural face holding out freshly baked potatoes on a skewer left the students perplexed.
‘Aristocratic… is this a joke?’
‘Is it okay to eat it?’
‘Isn’t it a test?’
“Aren’t you eating?”
“Well, will you eat well?”
One of the students must have been hungry so he reached out and took a baked potato.
Lee Han personally sprinkled salt on it. The student was nervous for a moment because he thought it was magic potion powder and not salt.
‘ah. It’s salt.’
“Are you okay?”
“Taste… delicious!”
It wasn’t because I was judging the boy from the Wardanaz family, but the freshly baked potatoes were objectively delicious.
The student who received the potato munched on it and burned the roof of his mouth and choked.
“Here, drink some milk.”
“Thank you… thank you.”
The student who put the hot potato into his stomach suddenly felt that Lee Han’s cold expression suddenly changed to soft.
…is it a magic potato?
“Maybe we too…?”
“okay. “You can eat it.”
The hesitant followers slowly reached out and picked up the roast potatoes.
Under the warm evening sunlight, the new students at the magic school were able to get to know each other better while eating baked potatoes.
“Let’s give it to the princess too!”
“What ridiculous rudeness… What are you going to do if Her Majesty the Princess gets angry!”
One student was about to offer potatoes to the princess, but after hearing what the other students said, he lowered his hand.
Lee Han felt as if the princess’s expression, which had been standing bluntly, had somehow become glum.
Like a hungry Gainando…
‘That was too harsh an analogy.’
Lee Han reflected.
Come to think of it, the princess couldn’t even eat breakfast this morning.
Lee Han took the baked potatoes and held them out so that no one could see them.
“I think there will be some leftover, so it would be nice to have a little taste…”
The students couldn’t see because their backs were turned, but Lee Han clearly saw the princess trying to put a freshly baked, peeled new potato into her mouth without even cutting it.
“Cut it! Cut it up and eat it!”
“……”
The princess put down the potatoes as if nothing had happened, then cut them up and stuffed them into her mouth.
The students turned their heads and looked puzzled at Lee Han’s shout.
“What do you cut and eat?”
“Cut the potatoes and eat them.”
“haha. Wardanaz. No matter how hungry we are, we don’t just swallow. Of course, I cut it up and eat it.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at the princess once, then at the student, then thought.
‘That guy won’t succeed…’

The next morning.
After finishing work at the stable, Lee Han walked with his friends to listen to Professor Garcia’s <Understanding Basic Magic>.
Lee Han yawned. Joner asked worriedly, looking particularly tired.
“You look sleepy, are you okay? “Did you have trouble sleeping?”
“I slept well, but I had a nightmare…”
“What did you dream about?”
“A dream about a professor.”
Yoner did not ask any further questions for Lee Han’s mental health.
Perhaps Professor Boladi’s class left an impression, and Professor Boladi appeared in Lee Han’s dream.
In the dream, Professor Boladi instructed Lee Han to ride the rampaging griffon and control the water orb through the burning circle. It was a terrible nightmare.
“Hello everyone.”
“Hello professor!”
When Professor Garcia opened the door and came in, Lee Han felt warm.
Before I entered school, I didn’t know that meeting trolls could be such a comforting experience.
“Professor Mortum came last week to tell us what black magic is, right?”
‘Gasp’ sounds came from everywhere.
The reaction was filled with fear, wondering if it was black magic again.
“This week, another professor came to teach us what summoning magic is.”
“Waaaaaa!”
Lee Han suddenly felt sorry for Professor Mortum, who was not even there.
