Episode 184
However, Lee Han did not receive compensation.
Before I could even search my arms, the other person woke up.
“… omg!”
“Dae, what on earth is going on?”
“… … ”
Lee Han and Ratford glared at the other top students with dissatisfied expressions.
If he was going to wake up, he would have woken up in the hallway earlier. I had a hard time carrying him out…
‘These kids probably weren’t pretending to be asleep.’
“Thank you. Wardanaaz.”
The Black Turtle Tower student who came to his senses understood the situation and expressed his gratitude.
My last memory was cut off when I entered the classroom and inhaled the smoke coming from the ominous magic circle.
Since he had no memory of what happened after that, it was clear that Wardanaz and his friends had saved him.
widely-
The Black Turtle Tower student grabbed Lee Han’s outstretched hand and shook his hand. Lee Han made a shocked expression.
It was a hand reaching out to search the treasures.
“thanks. Wardanaaz.”
“I didn’t know you would save us.”
The White Tiger Tower students also woke up one by one.
And then he said thank you in the same way.
“I never thought you would bring it out like this… ”
“I couldn’t even imagine. “I express my sincere gratitude.”
The students who got up politely expressed their gratitude and turned to leave.
Lee Han was so disgusted that he glared at the back.
“Do you want to stun me again?”
At Ratford’s whisper, Lee Han was slightly shaken.

“It’s such a mysterious thing… ”
The thunderous professor tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
It wasn’t because of a hangover. It was natural to get a hangover if you drank too much alcohol.
It’s even weirder if you don’t come!
The hangover was driven away with a potion, and the thunderous professor was once again lost in thought.
‘How did no one get caught?’
At the request of other professors, Professor Thunder Gait placed various potions in the classroom on the first floor of each water building.
Because picking students up, or rather helping them grow, was something that even other professors had to cooperate with.
Considering the effectiveness of the magic circle installed, if students had come in, it would have been normal for them to be causing an uproar in the classroom until morning.
But surprisingly, the classroom was empty.
It’s not like there were no intruders. As long as the chairs were flying and the magic circle was damaged, the invasion was confirmed.
But how?
‘Did you notice it and attack it? no… If I had noticed, I wouldn’t have activated the magic circle.’
Rather than being angry, the thunderous professor was just curious.
What happened?
“hello. professor.”
On Friday morning, students showed up one by one to submit their alchemy assignments.
“okay. Good morning.”
One by one, each person submitted their potion to the front and returned.
The thunderous professor felt happy to see that sullen and distressed expression.
It was clear that their faces were worried all night because they couldn’t find all the ingredients.
“hello. professor.”
“okay. Wardanaaz.”
Professor Thunderstruck suddenly became suspicious when he saw Lee Han.
‘… ‘No.’
I was suspicious that the boy from the Wardanaz family in front of me had done this, but when I thought about it, Lee Han did not listen to those lectures.
What does it matter if you don’t listen to the lecture? It was just a coincidence.
“I’ll leave it behind.”
“Let it be so.”
Lee Han calmly submitted the potion and turned around.
Even after that, the thunderous professor was deep in thought.
‘Uhm. It’s really mysterious.’
Professor Thunderstruck stood up and checked the potions submitted by the students.
I could feel the students struggling pathetically in a situation where there were no materials.
‘Did they put cauliflower in this one instead? The idea is novel, but it probably won’t fit well. This guy… You’re ignorant. Did you proceed without any materials? It’s good to be bold, but the effect is too diminished. This potion is completely desperate. Pouring another potion of similar color.’
The thunderous professor who was checking paused.
Surprisingly, a nearly perfect potion was right in front of me.
“?!”
The thunderous professor was startled and brought his face closer. However, even after checking again, the effect of the potion was perfect.
how??
‘How did you get thistle flowers? Did you know the location of the other flower fields?’
If that’s the case, he was incredibly lucky.
The thunderous professor clicked his tongue and tried to confirm the name of the lucky student.
-Ihan Wardanaz
“… … ”
The thunderous professor narrowed his eyes.
Something tickling was plaguing the thunderous professor’s brain.
‘It’s not just one, right??’
Looking around, I saw that there were more than one student who had saved thistle flowers.
Professor Thunderstruck thought it was impossible.
no way…
no way?!?
* * *
“finished!!!”
Friday evening.
Blue Dragon Tower freshmen cheered and whistled in the lounge.
Some students opened the caps of the beverage bottles they had saved and scattered them without hesitation.
Now that the midterm exam is over, whether they did well or not, all students could not help but feel a sense of liberation.
“finished! “It’s over!”
“A round of cards?”
“Professors be cursed!”
“A round of cards??”
“Wardanaz! “What is all this?”
“Everyone had a hard time taking the test.”
Lee Han welcomed his friends with a friendly smile.
Luxury items that had been saved filled the table one after another.
Glass bottles of cold fruit juice and various desserts were filled to the brim with no space left.
A whipped cream cake topped with crispy creme brûlée and strawberries. Cold cream soda and ice cream made with peaches. A feast of desserts that you cannot normally eat at Einrogard, such as pudding made by mixing grapes, cream, and milk.
The students at Blue Dragon Tower almost shed tears at the feast.
“Wardanaz… !”
“you… Really… !”
Even if Lee Han had saved the empire, I don’t think he would have been this moved.
Lee Han thought to himself.
‘It pricks my conscience that I like it this much.’
In fact, Lee Han also made a lot of profit by focusing on luxury goods in this way.
I’m already making enough profits, so I feel uncomfortable taking more from them.
The benefit of making a generous meal using fresh ingredients available from the garden or other places and seasonings and spices purchased from outside was not that great.
‘… no. ‘You must not waver.’
Lee Han gathered his shaking heart.
Special meals like this only happen once in a while. If you fill up your food storage and make a menu with these things, your storage will be depleted in an instant and the students will starve.
In the long run, this is not good for Lee Han either!
“Everyone, don’t push and stand in line. “Because there is enough quantity.”
Compared to other towers, it was an orderly blue dragon tower with plenty of food to eat, but this time it was a mess as they pushed and pulled to get in front of each other.
Ihan lined up his friends with the help of Yoner.
“ruler. Line up… ”
“I come first!”
“This guy who couldn’t even pass the test!”
“… “Get in line.”
“oh. yes.”
“S-sorry. Mr. Wardanaz.”
Of course, there were minor frictions, but my friends all understood.
Lee Han nodded as if he understood as he saw the princess’s followers lining up to take it.
“You want to bring it to the princess.”
“ah!”
“… “You guys must have forgotten, right?”
In response to Lee Han’s question, the followers looked away with awkward expressions.
“I’ll give it back to you if you bring it back, so why don’t you bring it to me?”
The followers took one look at the glass bottle of melon juice, one look at the appetizing slices of cake, and then looked up the stairs.
“The princess might not like this… ”
“… … ”
Lee Han was astonished.
Losing your loyalty to a delicious dessert?
“He’s the one who usually breaks the news, but he might have been forced to eat because of us…” ?”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“I don’t think so.”
The followers pretended not to hear Lee Han’s words and ignored them. I really wanted dessert.
“… “Just let me call you.”
“As expected, Wodanaz!”
“Stop because it sounds sarcastic.”
Lee Han went up the stairs and knocked on the door of the princess’s private room.
The princess opened the door. There was a faint look of anticipation on her expressionless face.
But those expectations soon disappeared. Lee Han’s hands were empty.
“… !”
The princess’s eyes shook more violently than last time when she was misunderstood as if she was secretly stealing a sandwich.
“Everyone is eating snacks downstairs, so come down and eat them.”
The princess let out a very slight sigh of relief. And then she nodded.
The princess came down following Lee Han, who came down the stairs first.
The followers who saw it were surprised.
“Are you sure you don’t mind? It’s so noisy… ”
“Won’t it get in the way when you’re lost in thought? You’re up… ”
The princess looked with a straight face and slapped the back of her follower’s hand. The follower was perplexed.
“Wardanaz. “What should I do if the princess is having a hard time?”
“You don’t look tired at all.”
“that’s right. “Your loyalty is distorted.”
Gainando grumbled as he stuffed pudding into his mouth.
I’ll show you only 1/100th of that respect…
“Noisy. Cainan Island. “You know what my loyalty is.”
“that’s right. “My loyalty is pure.”
Lee Han became annoyed and waved his hand.
“You’re not a child, you’ll take care of it. “You’re standing right there.”
“that… is it? It’ll be okay, right? How did you persuade him to bring me out? “You wouldn’t like a place like this, would you?”
Lee Han was a little doubtful whether his friends had a proper conversation with the princess.
Of course, it was the same for Lee Han…
“I said it with sincerity. ruler. next.”
“Lee Han. “If I give you all the desserts, would you like to play a game of cards?”
“You keep losing, right?”
I said this out of concern for Gainando, but it seemed to have stimulated Gainando’s pride.
Guynando said, trying to remain as calm as possible (of course, he was clearly shaking).
“that… That was a deck for testing purposes. I added the new cards I bought this time… He said he became stronger… !”
‘Just adding expensive cards doesn’t make the deck stronger.’
Gainando was typically the type to fill up only cards that required a lot of magical energy to summon.
In contrast, Lee Han is the type to end the game in the early stages by building a deck centered around low-power cards that reduce the opponent’s magician’s vitality.
Of course, Lee Han had no choice but to win.
“i get it. I’ll do it once… ”
bang!
The door to the lounge opened and the Death Knight appeared.
All the students were astonished.
“phew… “Isn’t this too much for a holiday!?”
“Is it okay to do this? Is it really okay to do this?!”
However, contrary to the students’ cries, the death knight came for his own reason.
From now on, the students who failed, whose names will be called, will be moved to the punishment room.
“… … ”
“… … ”
Lee Han was astonished.
‘The rumor that you would go to a punishment room if you failed was not a rumor!’
In terms of education, it was easy to mistake Einrogard for being generous as it allowed each individual wizard to learn as he or she wanted, but Einroguard was not easy to the point where you could lazily study even the lectures you took.
Cainan Island.
“no! no!”
Faced with having to spend his golden weekend in a punishment cell, Gainando attempted to run away.
Of course, the Death Knight could not be avoided.
“Lee Han! Give me some food! “You have to give me food!!”
A few unlucky students were taken away by the Death Knight. Prison wagons for prisoners and those who had escaped the law were waiting outside.
Wardanaz.
“?!”
The other students were more surprised than Lee Han.
How did Wardanaz fail?
“Wasn’t there some misunderstanding?”
“I think we need to give it some consideration! “Even an undead like you would fail at least one grade if he took a class like that!”
He is the head of the Blue Dragon Tower. Follow me.
“… … ”
The friends became somewhat disgusted and glared at Lee Han. Lee Han said calmly.
“It’s not my fault.”
