Episode 010
“Is that so. professor.”
Lee Han did not show any emotions on his face.
It hasn’t been a day or two since I’ve dealt with crazy professors, but I don’t act like a brat.
“I think you can definitely get good grades in the alchemy class if you have passion and affection.”
‘After this lecture, I will never listen to it again.’
“Did you think that too?”
Thunderwalker wiped his nose with a happy expression.
“Then listen.”
“…I haven’t taken any other lectures yet…”
“ah. That’s it. Listen. “Aren’t other lectures better than this?”
“No, listen to everything…”
“no! “You must listen!”
Lee Han slowly felt that he had made a mistake.
The other students next to him were looking at Lee Han with jealous expressions.
-As expected, the Wardanaz family…
-What a talent…
‘You’re making me more upset.’
The thunderous professor looked around and said.
“I guess this will end today’s lecture. “Unfortunately, the group that went to a different place did not meet the pig.”
“……”
“…professor. “Did you let me meet the pig on purpose?”
One of the students said in a voice filled with shock.
It was a pig, but it was like a homemade monster.
If I had been unlucky, I could have died from broken bones and ruptured internal organs.
He answered as if thunderstorms were natural.
“Then they probably only made you dig up herbs? Of course, we have to face situations that can arise while collecting herbs.”
“That… that…”
“I see. hey. Could it be that the professor sent me off without any preparation? “He was probably following us the whole time.”
“iced coffee…”
When one of the students said that, everyone agreed.
surely…
“It’s not? Why would I follow you?”
The dwarf professor looked at me as if asking what I was talking about.
“I came here because a pig collapsed.”
“Well… what if there’s a big accident?!”
“Then you probably don’t have any talent for alchemy.”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han seemed to hear the voices of the students gathered here.
‘What a bitch…!’
“Whether catching, avoiding, running away, or hiding, handling all kinds of unexpected situations is an alchemist’s talent. You iron heads. Do you understand?”
“yes!”
“Well… I don’t need Dok-o-cho then?”
Yoner asked, carefully raising his hand. Thunder said with a surprised expression.
“You found Dok-o-cho?”
“yes.”
“Well. I really didn’t expect to find it. You too pass! ruler. come here. “You should definitely listen too.”
“……”
Yoner was dragged in unexpectedly.
“Well, I didn’t find it alone. “I found Nilia there too.”
“okay? You too pass! “Come here!”
This time the thunderous footsteps pulled Nilia. She had an expression on her face that said Neilia didn’t know whether she should like it or not.
“And Wodanaz here…”
“You really, really need to listen!”
“……”
Lee Han gave up halfway.
At this point, it was impossible to escape.
‘I’m bored.’
No matter how much you don’t attend class, there’s nothing good about being criticized by the professor.
If I didn’t listen here, this dwarf professor might come to other classrooms.
“…I will do my best to listen. Alchemy was my dream!”
“guy…!”
Thunderstruck grinned. I had read Lee Han’s emotional changes.
Among the freshmen here, Lee Han was the most mentally mature.
Even though I clearly didn’t really want to take the alchemy class, I quickly accepted it and changed my attitude when I realized that it was inevitable.
People from noble families were not good at hiding their true feelings.
Since he has never had to hide his emotions in his entire life, he has no practice holding it in like that.

From that perspective, Lee Han was truly interesting.
“There is nothing to be too sorry about. There are privileges to teaching alchemy.”
Thunderwalk decided to appease Lee Han.
It was a world where it was difficult to find disciples.
Just as students watch and evaluate lectures, professors also evaluate students.
If there was a student I liked, I had to hold on to it as tightly as thunder.
However, if you just forcefully hold on, it could backfire and cause you to escape.
The best thing was carrots.
“What privilege do you mean?”
“There is my cabin near the forest. Normally, I don’t allow you to approach, but since you killed the pig and saved Dok-o-cho, as a special favor, I will allow you to approach as you please during this semester.”
“…??”
Lee Han wondered what the fuss was about.
What a privilege to visit a professor’s house.
‘Do you mean to enjoy the privilege of cleaning, separating waste, and being a slave?’
“…ah. “I explained too little.”
Looking at Lee Han’s eyes, Uregeul realized what he was thinking. The dwarf professor added hastily.
“Do you know what the iron heads want most?”
“Isn’t this an easy course to get credit for?”
“…Are you really from the Wardanaz family? That’s not bad, but the correct answer is eating. “Right now, their complexions are just bad, but one more week and they’ll be trying to eat each other.”
“……”
The thunderous words were persuasive.
More than 80% of the students gathered here are eating well and living well.
If you accept such students and only give them hard black bread and cold rice balls, they will naturally suffer.
“But in my cabin I have meat and fish from the forest, and spices and vegetables from secret places I know. Do you understand what this means?”
“…!”
Only then did Lee Han realize.
A kind of buffet pass!
“professor!”
“this guy. “I’m starting to like it more and more.”
The two priests held each other’s hands and exchanged warm friendship.

After class, while the students were moving around looking for the next lecture (some students were muttering, ‘I guess I’ll never listen again’), Lee Han stayed still in his seat.
Yoner and Nilia asked curiously.
“Aren’t you going?”
“I’m going to dismember the pig.”
“……”
“……”
“That’s great!”
I was amazed by the thunderous pace alone.
Among freshmen, I’ve never seen one adapt so quickly.
“professor. “Are you sure you can eat this?”
“It just got vicious, but there’s no problem eating it.”
“okay. “Can you please lend me some equipment so I can dismantle and smoke it?”
“this guy. “Alchemy is already getting better, isn’t it?”
“yes. “I really like alchemy.”
After adjusting to reality, Lee Han decided to love alchemy.
‘If what the professor says is true, it is not a matter of waiting quietly.’
When I thought about it, there was a hint.
From the moment I entered school, the principal said, ‘The answer is in this school, find it,’ to the rule of not giving anything and not being allowed to go out.
Freshmen have to find their own food and survive!
‘I wonder why there are schools like this… but honestly, I’m not that surprised anymore.’
It’s a school where people don’t even know if people are dying, so I wasn’t surprised that they took care of their own food.
Lee Han carried one pig at a time and went to the stream.
To drain the blood and disassemble the internal organs, a place with water was good.
“I will help you.”
Yoner rolled up his sleeves and approached.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“In the future, we will have to deal with a lot more materials than this. Are you going to give us some meat instead?”
“……”
Ihan seemed to hear a growling sound from Yoner’s stomach.
Nilia was behind her and spoke in bewilderment.
“Are you two really going to break up!?”
“okay.”
“No… why at school…”
“Are not you hungry?”
“…good! “I’ll help you!”
Lee Han had also learned how to hunt and dismember while working with Alarlong, and Nilia was literally an expert.
Additionally, Yoner was not an amateur as he had practiced handling the materials several times.
“The equipment is here. “This should be enough.”
Thunderwalk brought the necessary equipment. The eyes were full of interest, saying, ‘Let’s see what happens.’
Lee Han pulled out a dagger and peeled off the skin.
Suddenly-
‘You’re good at it, right?’
Nilia was honestly surprised.
I didn’t know that Lee Han, who came from a great noble family, would be as good as Nilia.
The three worked together to peel off the skin, sort the flesh, and hang it on a tree branch.
Because it was so big, there were a lot of edible parts, but Lee Han didn’t even throw away the intestines.
‘I guess I’ll have to make the intestines into sausage.’
Since I didn’t know how long this hellish freshman year life would last, the more groceries I could make, the better.
“Are you trying to smoke it?”
“yes.”
“quite…!”
I was amazed by the thunderous steps.
I couldn’t just leave all this meat alone. No matter how cool the weather is, it will go bad after some time.
However, if you smoke the meat with smoke, it lasts much longer. It was a very good method for freshmen.
“professor. “I will use this piece of wood.”
“Sleep… wait.”
When Lee Han touched the wood piled near the hut, Thunder Gait was embarrassed.
Smoking was not done with just any wood. The more fragrant the wood was, the better it was to use as smoke.
‘It’s high-quality apple tree firewood that we worked hard to prepare…’
Lee Han, who seems to have a knack for recognizing good things, took it again. The thunderous footsteps quenched their appetite with regret.
“Nilia. “Is this enough?”
“That’s enough. “It’s full and overflowing.”
Smoke rose thickly and the smell of meat filled my nose. Beads of sweat formed on the foreheads of the three working hard.
Growling-
Lee Han looked away. It wasn’t Yoner, and it wasn’t Nylia.
It was a dwarf professor.
“…Are you hungry?”
“okay. “I’m feeling hungry.”
Lee Han stood up from his seat. Graduate students move automatically when their professors are hungry.
‘There’s a lot of meat, so I’ll have to grill some.’
“professor. “Some bread and butter…”
“…Take it in moderation…”
Thunderwalk grumbled, but did not say anything more as it was his own meal.
Lee Han placed the meat on a cast iron frying pan. Even when putting meat on top, it wasn’t just put on top. Seasoned properly with salt and pepper.
Rub it, rub it-
“What are you doing?”
“The groundwork is in progress.”
“?”
I thought Lee Han prepared for the thunderous walk in a very unusual way.
Just bake it…
And even then, Lee Han did not stop. He made cuts in the meat, added oil to the frying pan, and placed the meat on it.
The smell of cooking meat wafted out along with a hissing sound. Lee Han also placed the vegetables he had brought from next to the cabin on the frying pan.
“Why are you stopping??”
When Lee Han stopped baking, the dwarf professor was taken aback. It is still unripe.
“It’s better if you add butter like this.”
“You’re not saying this to say that you have no talent for alchemy, are you?”
Thunderstruck looked at me suspiciously. I had no intention of taking it out because of that.
“Try it and say so.”
Once the meat was grilled to golden brown, a fairly decent meal was completed.
Pork steak and grilled vegetables. And the thick bread and butter we brought from the cabin.
Although it wasn’t freshly baked bread, this was enough for freshmen who only ate black bread.
Wagu wagu-
It suddenly became quiet.
All four of them were preoccupied with eating.
The best thing to eat was thunder.
The dwarf professor tore off a handful of bread, placed a large piece of roasted pork in between, and ate it happily.
Then he walked alone to the hut and came out carrying a jar of jam.
“……”
“……”
“…I’ll give it to you little by little, so don’t look at me like that. “You iron heads.”
