Episode 856
“I think there is a surprising possibility, kihihi.”
Lagesa said so and called the Death Knight.
The Death Knight at the front door looked puzzled and ran over.
-What’s going on?
“Do you see the sailboat here?”
-I can see it.
“I am handing over this sailboat to a boy from the Wardanaz family here. Will you be a witness?”
The Death Knight did not understand what was being said at first and asked back.
-Do you really need witnesses?
“Ah. Because it’s Bible’s sailboat. Of course, I researched it with my gold coins, so it’s actually mine. But Bible isn’t the kind of person who cares about such things, right?”
-!
The Death Knight immediately understood what Lagessa meant.
And I called my colleagues.
-Look!
-What’s going on?
-Professor Verdus here is transferring ownership of the sailboat he was researching with funds from Lagessa to Wardanaz here. You all must be witnesses.
-Oh my! I understand! If Professor Verdus covets his student’s belongings in an indecent way, he will throw him into the hottest and most painful place in the Deep Punishment Chamber!
-I also swear!
The Death Knights excitedly swore without regard for who would go first.
Lee Han said in embarrassment.
“No. You don’t have to do that. It would be too annoying.”
-no. Because we want to lock it up
What are you saying?
“……”
Lagesa tapped Lee Han on the shoulder as if he knew everything and said goodbye.
“Then goodbye. Future Commander.”
“Yes. Take a look and gossip…”
Lee Han, who was sending off Lagesa with a polite greeting, stopped.
‘no. Saying such harsh words to say goodbye?
Who wouldn’t be a pirate?

“Hello, senior.”
Monday morning.
Lee Han said hello as he walked towards the restaurant storage room of the 7th floor kitchen club.
Falkrius, who would normally be wearing a huge apron and deboning the meat of an unidentified monster, was sitting at a table in a neat school uniform, reading a book.
“?!”
Lee Han was surprised to see that and asked.
“if…”
“Oh. Wardanaz. Are you here?”
“Are you lacking the grades needed to graduate?”
Falkrius, who usually smiled brightly, asked with a sullen look on his face.
“Did I look like that?”
“Oh, no. You just worked in the warehouse.”
“I have to prepare for the midterm exam this week.”
Since next week is the midterm exam, Einrogard students could not be the same as usual.
Since everyone was similar in first grade, Lee Han nodded.
“So you’re studying here.”
“Studying… It’s a little different from studying.”
“yes?”
“This is a midterm exam for juniors.”
“???”
Lee Han did not understand what Falkrius said and shook his head.
Why is Falkrius watching the midterm exams that his juniors will take?
“Why did you give the midterm exams that your juniors will take… ah. Did the professor ask you to help them prepare?”
Falkrius chuckled at the absurd question.
“Ugh, unless you’re a crazy professor, you wouldn’t ask a student who isn’t even a 5th grader to help you prepare for an exam!”
“……”
what?
“This is a club tradition. Wardanaz. You don’t seem to know.”
Originally, the club was not a survival group to make a living, but was closer to a meeting to maintain common hobbies, interests, and traditions.
It was easy to be mistaken, but Einrogard’s club also had its own class and tradition.
One of those traditions is helping juniors!
Many clubs in Einrogard, including the kitchen club, have seniors come forward to help juniors prepare for their exams.
‘no. ‘There was such a culture?’
Lee Han was surprised.
I would never have thought that there was a culture like this in Einrogard, a cold and desolate desert.
“What does it mean to help with a test? Telling me what I don’t know or summarizing key points?”

“Puh-huh. There’s something like that. You can also see it as helping you figure out exam questions in advance by ripping off the professor’s magic tower.
“……”
Lee Han slowly felt strange.
No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like the warm friendship between seniors and juniors that Lee Han had first expected.
Falkrius continued to explain.
Of course, like my junior just said, answering questions or summarizing key points was also a good help.
However, when clubs compete honorably with each other, more active and sometimes radical methods are bound to emerge.
Find out the test questions by stealing the professor’s magic tower, or prepare for cheating during the test…
“Why on earth is it so bad?”
“That’s right, Wardanaz. I feel so sad too. If other clubs competed fairly, there wouldn’t be a need for this…”
Falkrius looked into space regretfully.
If Einrogard had a place like a kitchen club, what a friendly school full of laughter it would be?
‘I don’t think so.’
‘Phew. Now that I think about it, it might be a good thing that you joined several clubs. How much would everyone have fought if they had only joined one? I usually don’t mess with my juniors, but if you are
I might have given it to you…”
“……”
“Anyway, Wardanaz, you’re here at the right time! Honestly, I think you’ll be fine on your own, but since you’re a member of our club, you have to help me as a senior.”
“I can’t take care of myself. Please help me.”
Lee Han quickly answered.
I don’t know anything else, but I had no intention of not accepting the offer to help with the test.
“Hahaha! Of course. Then, decide on a lecture.”
“yes?”
“You are taking so many lectures that it is difficult for one club to take over all of them. We decided to talk to the other clubs and share them.”
Originally, the seniors had to help out by knowing the lectures that the juniors were taking, but sometimes the story changed when a junior appeared who was taking classes from the previous school.
Wouldn’t it be better for each club to take charge rather than have senior members of the club collapse?
“……”
“Phew. For your information, I would like you to give me the lecture on <Using one drop of potion instead of complex magic>. Most of our club members are good at alchemy.”
“I’m sure so.”
With few exceptions, alchemists were also skilled in cooking and brewing.
Since Lee Han didn’t want to get upset by asking for something like Professor Boladi’s <Understanding Intermediate Combat Magic>, he decided to ask for an alchemy lecture.
Bang bang bang!
-what! Why is it closed!
-Kitchen Club! No business today?!
At the sound of someone knocking outside, Falkrius popped his head out and shouted.
“I’m not doing it because I have to prepare for next week’s test!”
“What… what are you talking about? You did it last year during the exam period too?!”
“Last year, I didn’t have any money so I did it even during the exam period. This year, I saved up enough money so I didn’t do it! Hahaha!”
Falkrius let out a leisurely laugh.
Unlike last year, this year’s sales were an order of magnitude different thanks to the juniors who brought in high-quality ingredients worthy of awards.
Thanks to this, I can close it at will.
“What… this is ridiculous!”
“I woke up early and ran to eat tomato soup…”
The seniors sat down with an expression as if the sky had fallen.
Unlike last year, we had high expectations as the quality of the meals coming out of the kitchen club had improved significantly.
Lee Han felt sorry for no reason, so he stuck his head out and spoke in a low voice.
“…Shh. Be quiet. I’ll serve food for just the two of you.”
“Whoa… Wardanaz!”
“Such a sweet babysitter for this second grader!”
“?”
Lee Han paused.
“Isn’t that an insult just now?”
“Ching, that was a compliment…?”
The seniors were puzzled.
Didn’t he get this nickname because he was well looked after?
After a while.
While the two starving seniors cut the rye bread they had hastily brought and dipped it into the soup and ate it, Lee Han finished talking with Falkrius earlier.
“Then how can you help me?”
“Phew. In the end, half of the test for the lecture <Using a Drop of Potion Instead of Complex Magic> is about securing reagents. The other half is about making them.”
With the skill of a senior, Falkrius pointed out the key point.
This alchemy lecture by Professor Thunderstruck was difficult not only in terms of the difficulty of manufacturing itself, but the fact that students had to secure the reagents themselves made it even more infamous.
“For now, they say you can get them by going around the Einroguard territory, but if you go into a more advanced course, they’ll ask you to get gems! Phew. That’s completely crazy!”
“You are correct!”
Lee Han responded with an angry voice.
“What kind of gems can you use to do alchemy? You crazy people!”
“Woah, Wardanaz. What’s wrong? Are you hungry? You have to use the jewels sometime…”
Alchemy was not just a study of potions, but a study of all kinds of substances.
No matter how expensive it is, you can’t stop using it forever.
Falkrius cleared his throat once and spoke.
“We need to check the professor’s magic tower or herb fields to find out what reagents are needed.”
“Are you saying that you also borrow money?
Falkrius gave a thumbs up at his junior’s excellent learning.
“But this year, the vigilance was a little stronger. You know Professor Thunderstruck’s cabin located south of Gaksu-gwan right now? Do you know who is guarding the garden there?”
“well?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
Lee Han was in charge of managing the cabin’s garden, so he knew it relatively well.
Are there any additional expenses added?
“Professor Bendozol! Phew. Can you believe this? Professor Bendozol is protecting it himself!”
“……”
Lee Han had to concentrate to manage his expression.
Professor Bendozol, who loves animals, was doing odd jobs to make time for Lee Han.
“Wow, indeed… it’s definitely going to be difficult.”
“But you still have to look through it.”
“I have something to tell you.”
A third-year student who was unable to finish the tomato and egg soup and wiped it away with the remaining pieces of bread called Falkrius.
“I know about the herb garden that Professor Thunderwalker secretly created in the mountains.”
“What?! Really? How did you find out?”
“I spent a few days on a cliff for an assignment, and my professor was passing under it.”
“Puh. I got lucky.”
‘Am I the only one who finds it strange that I spent a few days on a cliff?’
Lee Han thought to himself.
Falkrius took interesting notes on the third-year student’s testimony.
“Indeed, indeed… Okay. I’ll have to check here too. If there’s anything I need, I’ll have to sweep it up. Do you have anything? My junior deliberately lit a pot on fire and treated me to a meal?”
“Uh, that’s…”
Unlike his friend, the senior, who had nothing to accuse the Thunderwalking Professor of, was embarrassed and then blurted out.
‘Well… I do know who attacked Professor Thunderwalker’s material wagon last summer.’
“Well! This is interesting too. I can negotiate with the professor. Tell me your name!”
“Carnell of the Hormasi family…”
While Falkrius was talking to the two students, other members of the Kitchen Club also arrived one by one.
The students seemed to immediately understand what Falkrius was doing when they saw him interrogating and recording various things.
“You’re preparing for the midterm exam.”
“Wait a minute. Isn’t Wardanaz enrolled in all schools? Can we take charge of all of them?”
“They said they talked to other clubs and shared it.”
“Phew. That’s a relief.”
“Phew! I think this is enough. Let’s all go! We have to work hard all week to be able to help our juniors with their exams!”
“yes!”
Following Falkrius’ shout, the members gathered together with great vigor and set off.
The members’ spirits rose even further when Falkrius handed out pickled Tentacle sandwiches that he had prepared in advance for breakfast.
So members didn’t notice it right away at first.
‘…Uh, why is Wardanaz coming with you?’
So naturally, a second-year junior joined us.
This is something that second graders don’t have to do!
