Episode 903
“Maybe we thought too badly of the priest.”
“Maybe so. Last time, the priest stole all the wheat, rice, rye, dried fish, pickled sardines, round cheese, sausages, salted meat, and oil in the sack…”
“Well, there’s no proof that the priest did it. The blue earthworms could have done it.”
“There’s still a long way to go.”
The lightning-walking professor clicked his tongue as he passed by.
You could tell just by looking at Professor Verdus, but you couldn’t let down your guard just because he was a cute-looking beast. He could have been more lethal.
Those first graders will soon realize this if they experience it a few more times.
‘Yes, the more you pay, the deeper the lesson is engraved.’
The lightning-walking professor thought so and walked forward.
Several thick books were held tightly at her sides.
On the covers of old books, you could see titles such as <How to calm down a disobedient griffon?> and <How to raise a unicorn that even a villain can do>.
After hearing that his student was looking for him with a problem about a large rare animal, Professor Lightning Walk brought additional books from the library for consultation.
‘Anyway, Wardanaz, can he care about gryphons and unicorns during the exam period?’
Professors could do other things during exam periods, but students were in a different position.
Even though he is at the top of his grade, I wonder if this is overconfidence.
“…Ugh!”
Professor Lightning Walk was a seasoned explorer who had experienced many hardships.
However, the sight in front of him scared even the explorer.
Professor Bendozol and Professor Boladi sitting silently.
‘Is it a trap?’
I don’t know what kind of trap it is, but that’s what I thought first.
“…What are you doing there?”
“what?”
Professor Bendozol answered the questions clearly.
“You probably know what you’re asking. Why on earth are you doing that in front of the students’ dormitories?”
The poor Blue Dragon Tower students were going around in circles, whispering.
“You are protecting your highness.”
“I see… Are you waiting for me to come out?”
It was only then that Professor Lightning Step remembered Jo Woo-rin’s visit. But Professor Bendozol shook his head.
“Your Highness is not allowed to go out.”
“You mean I’m not allowed to go out?”
“Huh. What does being banned from going out mean…”
“No, you crazy person. Who banned you from going out?”
The lightning-walking professor scolded in an irritated voice.
No matter how much I tried to respect him as a fellow professor, Professor Bendozol had a talent for messing with people’s temperament.
“Who is it? That unholy Wardanaz bastard.”
“…I see.”
It was obviously nonsense, but the lightning-walking professor was surprised that even he was somewhat convinced.
Strangely, it sounds plausible to say that a boy from the Wardanaz family did it.
“I guess you held back well with your personality? I thought you would go in and rescue them.”
“I meant to.”
“…however?”
Professor Bendozol gestured with a gloomy expression. At the end, Professor Boladi was sitting with an expressionless face.
“……”
Looking closely, Professor Bendozol was in disrepair. He usually walked around like a beggar so I didn’t notice, but from his coat to his pants, he was even more of a mess.
It felt as if I had been taken by surprise by someone.
Professor Lightning Walk pretended not to see and shouted.
“I have no idea who did it!”
“……”
“Then I’m off.”
“Take a look.”
The lightning-walking professor, who did not want to come between the two, hurriedly walked away. And then I thought to myself.
‘I never imagined I would miss the principal!’
He was an eccentric wizard who always harassed professors, but he always felt empty when there were no people around.
Still, if there had been a skeleton principal, Professor Mo wouldn’t have attacked Professor Bendozol…
‘…I think it would have happened, but mediation would still have been done.’
-Please release the magic.
-I don’t like it.
-…Let’s be fair again. Without surprise!
-I don’t like it.
‘I didn’t hear anything.’
The lightning-walking professor increased his speed. I didn’t want to hear the conversation going on behind my back.
* * *
“professor!”
Lee Han was moved by the sight of the lightning-walking professor who came to the tower to help him.
The professor said, waving his hand as if he was annoyed.
“Okay. Is it a griffon, a unicorn, or some other creature I don’t know about?”

“yes?”
“I heard people are upset about large rare creatures these days.”
……
Jo Woo-rin, who was sitting next to the fireplace, looked tearful. Lee Han made tea, placed it in front of the professor, and spoke.
“I think there was a misunderstanding. I’ve never been upset.”
Jo Woo-rin’s expression brightened.
“What nonsense? They say you go around taking a deep breath.”
Jo Woo-rin’s expression darkened again. The lightning-walking professor wondered.
“Wait, it’s not a griffon or a unicorn…?”
Professor Lightning Walk was thrilled by the feeling of a puzzle being put together in his head, including the sight of him strangely paying attention to the strange ban on going out.
However, Lee Han played it cool.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Of course, I had a minor argument with your majesty, but we made up right away.”
That’s right!
Jo Woo-rin exclaimed with joy.
Seeing him say that, it seemed like Lee Han was clearly relieved of his anger.
In fact, before Professor Lightning Step came, Lee Han came back and apologized first.
-majesty. sorry. I was so angry…
-Wow! Jo Woo-rin was wrong!!!
-…I really believe I won’t do it in the future…
-I will never do that!!!!
-All right. Then we’ll make up.
-oh. So, has the ban on going out been lifted?
-no. That’s not true.
-…Jin, are you really angry…?
Jo Woo-rin was wondering if it was true that Lee Han had really calmed down because the ban on going out had not yet been lifted.
But seeing him say that, it seemed like his anger had really subsided.
-I am the only one who is at a complete loss.
The baby basilisk wrapped around Jourin’s neck grumbled.
They obviously made up, but they were banned from going back into Lee Han’s sleeve until the curfew ended.
But, like a cool-headed dragon, Jo Woo-rin pretended not to hear.
If I asked Lee Han to return the baby basilisk to his sleeve for no reason, it would be a huge loss if Lee Han got angry again.
“It’s good to hear that there was a reconciliation. Have the Darksea Gryphons or Unicorns caused any problems?”
“No…”
At Lee Han’s words, Jo Woo-rin became sullen again.
Gryphons and unicorns don’t have any accidents and stay calm, but Jo Woo-rin…
“There’s no way… It’s a huge nuisance.”
“Hey. Are you forcing yourself…?”
Lee Han appealed with his eyes, ‘Please speak to me accordingly.’ Professor Lightning Walk was dumbfounded.
I came to help, but what kind of joke is this?
But when I looked to the side, I saw a young dragon looking at me with very expectant eyes. His face looked as if he would cry if I told him the truth that he had never had an accident with a griffon or a unicorn.
“…Well, I see! Well, I thought I was going to cause trouble with those guys.”
“So that’s it.”
I wonder what kind of accident happened!
“……”
“……”
Lee Han ended up having to make up an accident on the spot as Jo Woo-rin’s eyes sparkled brightly.
Fortunately, I heard something from Professor Garcia, so I was able to use it as is.
“There was an uproar in the private room, so all the furniture was broken.”
Oh my!
Jo Woo-rin’s mouth was sad, but his expression was proud. Professor Lightning Walk was slightly worried.
‘Still, it’s a dragon, so can I be happy to see a beast that has caused more damage than myself?’
I was skeptical about whether this was really the right character education.
Again, again! Any other accidents?
“Uh… there was a time when they ate up all my research.”
-Did Mr. Vonrigg do something like that?
The baby basilisk asked curiously.
No matter how you look at it, the griffon was past the age for such pranks.
It was already fully grown when Professor Lightning Walk brought it in…
“It’s impossible to know the mind of a griffon. You also tricked me and took the reagent bag.”
-……
The baby basilisk, who got involved for no reason and couldn’t get his money back, curled up and snuggled into Jo Woo-rin’s arms.
Still, the Basilisk is much nicer than that griffon. We are both much nicer!
“I’m glad you got your strength back. Haha.”
“Yeah… I’m glad that’s the case…”
The lightning-walking professor sipped his tea.
Of course, Gryphon, who was absent, was falsely accused, but since he was a much more mature beast than these two, he would definitely understand.
“I think it’s resolved, so let’s go. Before that, just a moment.”
The professor snapped his fingers. Lee Han looked puzzled and listened closely.
“I heard that Your Highness is prohibited from going out, is that correct?”
“yes.”
“If you do it for too long, it can backfire.”
Originally, dragons were not a species that suited the ban.
Of course, there was no race in the empire that suited the ban, but the characteristics of dragons were especially so.
Isn’t he arrogant and proud, and has great natural ability?
They say that if a student is locked up, he or she cannot get out because he or she does not have the ability, but a dragon can quickly figure out that if he thinks about it a little, he can get out.
If you look around for too long, you may end up going astray.
“Your Majesty, I don’t think so. And you don’t have to worry, I plan to stay by your side.”
“Okay. Monitoring… Wait, you have a test this week, right?”
Professor Lightning Walk was about to say it was a good idea, but then he looked puzzled.
How can a student who has exams this week stay in the dormitory for a long time?
“I plan to see it and come back as soon as possible.”
“…Don’t misunderstand, but listen. Sometimes I think you’re crazy.”
* * *
“No matter how much you say you made a mistake, aren’t you being too rude?”
Lee Han grumbled and moved at the professor’s harsh words.
Of course, since Professor Bendozol and Professor Boladi are still in front of the dormitory, I turn around.
Professor Djorjic, who is sporting a more stylish seagull mustache today, welcomed Lee Han’s arrival.
“Student Wardanaz! Nice to meet you! Please come in.”
“Hello, Professor.”
“You came first. I guess that’s natural for a student like you, right?”
Professor Djorjic, who was in charge of the lecture on <Elemental Magic and Its Applications>, had very high expectations for this boy from the Wardanaz family.
So much so that I set blue flame, an advanced attribute of the fire element, as my semester goal.
It may have been a daunting goal for a second-year student, but considering the elements and applications covered by Wodanaz, Professor Djorjic judged it to be quite possible.
If Wardanaz mastered blue flames within this semester, Professor Djorjic planned to go to a gathering of other magicians during the vacation and boast about the wonderful progress between student and teacher.
“What is the midterm exam? Is it blue flames?”
“I remembered that. That’s right! Of course, it may feel difficult, but if you are a Wardanaz student, you will be able to do it.”
“Now. In this test…”
Since Hanoi was urgent, Lee Han focused right away.
While we were already delving deeply into various elements, it seemed absurd to dive deeper into the fire element, but fortunately, it was less shocking. It was because I had already heard it last time.
As I practiced consistently on my own, the progress was fast. The flames rising in the air began to change color.
A blue flame appeared. It was a complete color transformation, which is the first gateway to blue flame.
“Wardanaz student. Well done! Man…”
“Professor. Please wait a moment!”
When Lee Han lost concentration, he stopped the professor and shouted.
It may have felt rude, but when someone spoke to me while I was preparing such a difficult spell, I got distracted.
Professor Djorjic, who was about to shout out that he passed the prepared exam with a perfect score, was moved.
‘All the way to the final exam in one go?!’
I was surprised that they didn’t come to take the test first like other lectures, but they prepared for such a wonderful twist.
Professor Djorjic stroked his mustache and was delighted at the spirit of his student, worthy of being the top student in his grade.
