Episode 857
‘Well, since it’s Wardanaz, he must have an idea.’
‘If you ask for no reason and get angry, you’ll be in trouble.’
The seniors remained silent.
It was often easy to mistakenly believe that the power of the Kitchen Club rested with Falkrius, but in reality, the Kitchen Club did not operate that way.
The power of a kitchen club rested only with those who had enough ingredients (and were willing to share them).
In that respect, the power of Lee Han, who took out his own ingredients, distributed them, and cooked with them, was bound to be higher than that of the ruthless Falcrius, who did not help his juniors cook at all.
Let’s not say it first for no reason!
* * *
“Wardanaz. “Do you know what you need to be careful about when tearing the herb field?”
Falkrius asked as he looked at his junior coming up the slope.
For a moment, Lee Han was confused as to whether this was a location change club or a kitchen club, but he immediately came to his senses.
If you think about it, isn’t the entire Einrogard like a huge location-shifting club?
“Shouldn’t we check whether the owner is there or not?”
“Phew. That’s a good answer too. But before that, we need to check who the owner is.”
Falkrius’ voice contained the skill of an expert herb gardener.
Other Kitchen Club members also nodded at those words.
“It is very important who owns the herb field. “The hardships suffered by Arlkhan of the great alchemist Makin family after entering the dragon’s herb field are famous.”
‘What on earth did Joner’s ancestors do?’
Ihan told himself that he would ask Yoner what happened when he met him later.
But apart from that, it was definitely important to figure out who the owner was.
Basically, the same wizard is responsible for cultivating and caring for the herb garden.
There is no way that they would be unguarded if they were trying to rob such a herb field. Depending on what kind of wizard you were, your defenses also varied greatly.
‘There may be retaliation.’
“In that sense, we already know that Professor Thunderwalks. “It can be said to be very advantageous.”
“What type of master is Professor Thunderwalker?”
“hmm. “He may be petty and petty, but he doesn’t set up fatal traps for students.”
“…Is there anyone who sets up lethal traps?”
“The principal or Professor Verdus.”
“aha.”
Lee Han was immediately convinced.
I thought it would be okay if it was just the two of us.
“But Professor Thunderstruck is not a generous person. You have to be careful because you might be tracked down if you leave traces. Senior Falkrius. Can you hear what I wrote about the herb garden?”
Falkrius played back the testimony contained on paper that the student had handed over earlier.
The notes were good, but it was also important to hear what the witnesses themselves said.
-I was staying on a cliff, and a thunder-walking professor passed by underneath it. Professor Thunder Walk said this. ‘Bendozol That crazy man really seems to have gone as far as he can go. How is he doing Wardanaz’s chores for me…’?
“……”
“……”
The seniors stared at Lee Han. Lee Han said calmly.
“Professor Bendozol forced himself to take his place.”
“…Well, it was something like that.”
‘Can you do that? ‘I don’t think there is one.’
-The professor pulled three wagons and entered a hidden cave at the bottom of a cliff. Later, after the professor left, I checked and it was clearly a herb field. Various related magics were seen…
“You couldn’t check inside the herb field?”
“The professor said he camouflaged the entrance well. It must have been difficult to break through alone. It’s not his lecture, so there’s no need to overdo it. “It’s over there.”
Falkrius pointed down the cliff.
On the outside, the green terrain with lush bushes seemed so dense that nothing could fit in.
However, he could not avoid the eyes of the skilled Einroguard robbers, or rather the students.
“Take it away.”
“yes.”
Some of the seniors wielded potion bottles, and some wielded wands.
The streams of flame that shot out merged in the air, and as the power of alchemy was added, they turned into a flame giant.
The flame giant neatly cut down the bushes near the cliff and burned them, like a harvester. Every time I swung my arm, flames flew out and space was created.
For the first time in a long time, Lee Han felt comfortable not having to do anything.
‘I like this because I come with seniors.’
Originally, I should have served about 5 people myself, but since I came with my seniors, I was able to sit in the back and watch leisurely.
The seniors didn’t ask Lee Han to do anything special, perhaps because he was their junior.
“Should I do something too?”
“uh? Wardanaaz, why do you have to?”
“…thank you. “I think it was a good thing I joined the kitchen club.”
“???”
The club member was taken aback by the junior’s sudden excitement on his own after following him even though he didn’t have to follow him.
Why is he like this?
Grumbling!
“I found it! senior! “Here!”
“Get out of the way.”
Falkrius took out a pair of boots from his backpack.
Lee Han looked at it and was puzzled.

“What is that?”
“Professor Thunderstruck’s shoes. It’s easy to track in places like this. Now, tell me the master’s whereabouts!”
As Falkrius shouted, his boots moved to follow the footprints on the ground.
The seniors naturally followed suit, as if the professor’s boots were an item to bring with them.
Lee Han is alone and confused.
‘In the first place, for something like this, you just steal the professor’s boots and bring them back?’
I didn’t know if Lee Han should have stolen Professor Verdus’ wand in advance.
The chase progressed quickly as the forest that was an obstacle was cleared and the exact footprints were found.
The students whistled as they discovered the entrance to a hidden cave at the bottom of the cliff.
“Are you coming in?”
“no. The professor has set his final trap. “It’s a pain in the ass.”
Falkrius, who always smiled, frowned for the first time in a long time and glared at the entrance.
A very faint scent was flowing gently from inside the entrance.
The scent of thunderstorms!
Professor Wooregeum was an outstanding alchemist, but his skill in combining incense was particularly outstanding.
Among the kitchen club members here, there is hardly anyone who has not been touched by the scent of Professor Thunder.
“What is immersion scent?”
“It’s a scent that literally makes you immerse yourself in water. “It’s pretty tricky.”
The moment he smelled the scent, the wizard was dragged deep into the water.
It was not simply an illusion or a disturbance of the senses. It truly transports the soul to another dimension momentarily.
There was no way I could just block my nose. The scent penetrates people’s skin and extends to their five senses.
“Professor, you were complaining that you didn’t have any reagents, but it looks like there are reagents to make something like this again!”
“Anyway, you’re so petty!”
The students who came to protect the herb field cursed at the professor simply because he was well-guarded.
Lee Han glanced at me and then quietly spoke.
“Shall I try to break through?”
“no. What are you talking about. “You are resting.”
“Phew. Wardanaz. do not worry. It’s just tricky, but that doesn’t mean there’s no way to get through it. Has anyone here recently visited the underwater dimension?”
“I visited a week ago, but I ended up having a bit of a fight with the mermaid there…”
“Woah haha. Then it won’t work. “You must never go in.”
“I’ll just try to break through…”
Lee Han spoke again, but Falkrius stopped him by waving his hand like a pot lid.
“No, no. Stay still. Wodanaz.”
“……”
While the juniors sat quietly with a shocked expression, the seniors discussed seriously.
“Shall we try a different entrance?”
“I don’t know what kind of herb it is, so don’t try too hard. “If the herb is damaged, it’s a mistake.”
“What if I break it the day before the exam? Even if the herb is damaged, you can skip the test.”
“It’s too much of a gamble. Are there any gifts that would work in the underwater dimension? “You still have to negotiate.”
“ah. Those kids will tell me to give them pearls again. Why do you only like expensive things like this? Why don’t they just accept seashells? …Wodanaz! hey!”
Lee Han rushed in as his seniors’ conversation became longer.
As the thunderous scent of immersion permeated my entire body, my soul shook for a moment and almost moved to another dimension, but infinite magic held my weight and pushed the scent away.
Lee Han quickly broke through and swung his black magnet staff to erase the effect of the incense.
The seniors who arrived late were shocked to see that.
‘Is this why you followed me?’
‘Geniuses are different…!’
“Whoa, Wodanaz. “Is this why you agreed to come with us?”
Falkrius was also surprised and stuttered slightly. Lee Han did not understand what was being said and asked back.
“yes? “What does it mean to come together because of this…?”
“Phew. no. no! Anyway, thanks for opening. This is what we should have done in the first place. “I feel comfortable having smart juniors.”
Falkrius chuckled.
Other kitchen club members next to me also laughed and said.
“you’re right. “I can’t tell you how comfortable it is that Wardanaz also brought us food.”
At those words, Falkrius stopped laughing and looked with a straight face.
“That’s not right.”
“S-sorry.”
If you live comfortably while receiving food from your juniors, you should feel shame, not laugh.
“Anyway, let’s go in. Follow me. This is… Nefertem. this. “Everyone, step back.”
“!”
Flowers that looked like blue water lilies were located in a pond inside the cave.
It looked like a water lily on the outside, but inside I could feel a pure and transparent magic that is not often seen.
Falkrius was very careful, lest he approach and contaminate the surroundings.
This Nefertem is a plant that is extremely susceptible to contamination, so great care had to be taken from cultivation to collection.
“This is a second year test.”
“that’s right.”
Lee Han asked in confusion as he heard the conversation between seniors next to him.
“How do you know? Seniors, have you ever taken a test using Nefertem?”
“huh? no.”
As he spoke, the senior pointed to the side with his finger.
There was a sign posted by Professor Thunderstruck.
Nefertem (vulnerable to contamination, handle with caution, for 2nd year exam)
Lee Han was once again thrilled by the kindness of the thunderous professor.
“…Then can I collect this? “You’re lucky.”
“That’s not it.”
“?”
“If it were a test that required this, the professor wouldn’t put so much effort into training it. Just tell them to get it. “This is a very rare test where the material is provided by the professor.”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised.
A thunderous professor gives you reagents and tests you.
“Is that true?!”
After shouting in surprise, Lee Han paused for a moment.
‘Actually, I don’t think it’s this surprising.’
Originally, I didn’t know that the test was about the professor giving you what you needed.
Actually, the thunder-walking professor is strange…
“Sometimes the professor gives you materials. Very occasionally though. the problem is…”
The seniors looked at Lee Han with pity.
“That test is much more difficult. “The logic is that since we even prepared the ingredients, it doesn’t have to be difficult.”
‘This is truly absurd.’
Lee Han cursed inwardly, but could not refute the words of his seniors.
If you are a professor at Thunderwalk, since you prepared the materials yourself, you will definitely increase the difficulty level so that your efforts are not in vain.
‘Why are you suddenly trying to increase the difficulty level? ‘I don’t think second graders are particularly smart.’
Lee Han had doubts, not realizing that he had inadvertently guessed the correct answer.
“Don’t worry too much though. We will now organize and tell you about the potions that can be used with Nefertem. “You can study mainly on that.”
“that’s right. In fact, there was no need to follow me like I did today.”
“?”
Lee Han realized the identity of the sense of discomfort he had been feeling earlier.
no way…?
“…Is it really okay for me not to come along today?”
“uh? huh.”
“……”
