Chapter 268

“Are all Ein Lorgard students like that?”

Vaishada thought in amazement.

Well, since it’s a place where the best talents in the empire are gathered and taught, I didn’t know that was natural.

Even if you put half of your arrows into a rock, there are people who say, ‘Oh, the arrow only sticks halfway into a rock’ and regret it.

“Tell your friend not to talk nonsense.”

“He is also your colleague.”

Vaishada did not hear the conversation between Giselle and Durgyu.

‘Come to think of it, I heard that there was a young ranger who entered Ein Lorgard from another fortress the other day. Would that patrol be like that too?’

If all the students of Einrogard have a personality like that, then the young rangers who enrolled in other strongholds of the Shadow Patrol must be similar.

Vaishada was amazed at the young ranger he didn’t even know his face.

Does it have to be at that level to be able to enter Einrogard!

“If you want more accurate aim, how about reducing the power?”

“You mean power?”

“okay. It looks like you’re obsessed with power too much. I don’t need that much power.”

“But aren’t there some monsters like Rakemaw with exceptionally hard armor? I think it would take this much power to defeat those guys.”

“That’s true, but isn’t it common for first-year students to encounter monsters like that?”

Vaishada was taken aback.

Of course, among the monsters, there were monsters with solid defense, but usually there were few encounters with such monsters.

Even more so if you are a first year student at a magic school.

Lee Han smiled bitterly. Vaishada couldn’t quite understand why the boy in front of her was doing this.

“You are right. Then I will give up power and focus on aiming.”

“Why don’t you try as well?”

said Giselle sarcastically.

Of course, this wasn’t serious advice.

In enchantment magic, the ‘induction’ attribute that makes an object go in the target direction by itself was a very difficult attribute.

A much more difficult attribute than ‘acceleration’ or ‘weight increase’.

“oh. thanks. Moradi.”

However, for Lee Han, who is already dealing with the ‘automatic defense’ attribute, was an attribute worth trying.

There were parts where the two were quite compatible, so Lee Han was able to successfully cast at once.

“……”

Giselle was at a loss for words. Next to him, Durgyu said as if he was slightly surprised.

“I didn’t expect you to give me advice.”

“shut up.”

“?!”

Lee Han reduced the power-enhancing magic and added .

After some trial and error, a fairly suitable combination was completed.

‘ twice and . I think this much is fine.’

The best combination possible with the current skill cast close to the limit.

When he pulled the string, the arrow hit the exact center of a rock far away.

Vaishada clapped happily.

“Excellent!”

“thank you. I didn’t know it would turn out this well.”

Even Lee Han was a little bewildered.

To think that one magic (actually, it was never one) could replace archery so easily.

It was to the point where I thought that wizards weren’t being criticized for being unlucky.

“I wonder if it is possible to shoot a bow so easily.”

“are you okay.”

Vaishada said, showing pride as a skilled archer.

“It is better for beginners to enjoy using convenient and useful tools than to waste time and then give up. Why don’t you use a good bow and good arrows just because you’re an excellent archer? Rather, find something more like that and write it.”

If you dig deep into archery, it was such a profound skill that there would be no end to it.

Archers who walked such a path did not pay much attention to the fact that wizards replaced archery with magic.

It was possible because he had strong confidence in his own archery skills.

“I see. Thank you for those kind words.”

Lee Han fired several arrows in succession. Vaishada paused a little as he saw the arrow that had been shot before, accurately splitting the end and going in.

…Spells are so deceitful!

“Moradi. thanks. For your advice.”

“……”

“I’ll have to practice a few more times.”

Lee Han was slightly excited and picked up the arrow.

There is magic, but why should I learn archery? But the bow had an advantage that magic did not have.

First of all, the overwhelming range was an advantage.

If you use it well, the range that easily passes 100 meters will increase the difficulty like crazy if you use magic.

A freshman like Lee Han, who has a lot of work to deal with monsters, had to prepare ways to hit them from as far away as possible.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Vaishada was embarrassed to see Lee Han aiming his arrow at the target so hard.

I recommended it for a light refreshment, but I was practicing so hard.

“Isn’t it possible that monsters are coming down to Einrogard? haha.”

“……”

“……”

“…Students. It was a joke.”

* * *

Professor Thunderstruck lit his pipe and puffed out smoke.

Often, students mistakenly thought, ‘Professors are really evil people for giving out assignments and exams like this’, but in fact, professors didn’t like assignments and exams too much.

When assignments and tests are given, it is the professor himself who has to evaluate them.

However, the students do not know the teacher’s hard work and say things like ‘why are you making it so hard’!

“This is a lot of trouble! How young they are!”

“Isn’t it true that you paid hard?”

“no. Do I have to forcefully pay it easily?”

Professor Thunder Walk grumbled at Professor Lightning Walk and poured tea.

Potion bottles made and submitted by the students were scattered on the table.

“You forgot Setrivi’s dew potion. This is an insufficient amount of Lesser Spirit Enhancement Potion. I told you to make a potion of Dobruk’s Blooddrops. Why did you get the water from the sewer? Look at the nasty smell!”

“Be quiet while drinking tea.”

“yes.”

An alchemist at the level of Professor Thunderwalker could actually figure out the composition of a potion to some extent just by looking at it with his eyes and sensing magic power.

Aurum’s Golden Potion, which came out as a pre-term assignment.

The difficulty itself wasn’t that high, but it was very annoying to have to make and combine all kinds of potions to make.

I need to make a base by mixing Lesser Mind Boost Potion and Setlibi’s Dew Potion, then add a mixture of Lesser Mind Boost Potion and Dobruk’s Droplet Potion, then again Lesser Mind Boost Potion and Belesen’s… “Isn’t it because students don’t like that kind of thing?

”

“Alchemy is originally such a study.”

Professor Wooreegeol was unfair.

As much as I myself endured things like this bad beer and became an alchemist, the ordeal made me grow as an alchemist.

If you’re just frustrated with this, how will you make more difficult potions in the future?

“Uh… uh huh?”

“Why?”

“Is it strange?”

Professor Thunderwalk held the potion bottle up to the magic lamp. But looking back, it was strange. It was

so…

neat and perfect.

“What is strange?”

“It was so well made.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

“no. It is a task given to me to do poorly.”

“……”

Professor Lightning Walk looked at his nephew like trash, but Professor Thunder Walk didn’t care.

The students didn’t get their materials from anywhere, and they picked things up from all over the school site and made them, so of course it couldn’t be perfect.

All kinds of by-products and residues should remain…

This Aurum’s golden potion was too perfect.

what?

“This… I think it was made with the potion sold at the Alchemy Guild workshop?!”

“You are clever.”

“No, isn’t this clever! Who made it?”

Lee Han Wodanaz

“……”

After checking the name on the potion label, Professor Thunderstruck was at a loss for words.

What the hell did this guy do?

“You told me to make it regardless of the means and methods, so the students didn’t choose the means and methods either.”

“Anyway, how do you buy potions outside!? What the hell did this guy do!?”

“You must have bought it the last time you went out.”

“At that time, how do you guess that Aurum’s golden potion is the task?”

“I know? Amazing.”

As much as it was not his job, Professor Lightning Walk was interested.

Of course, Professor Wooregeol was different.

Even if he was a disciple he cherished, this was a matter of pride.

You dare not suffer in the task given to you?

“Blame yourself. Wodanaz. The difficulty of the final exam will go up because of you.”

Looking at his nephew muttering grimly, Professor Lightning Walk shook his head.

Isn’t that why there is a prejudice that alchemists are gloomy people who are stuck in a closet and don’t come out?

Tuesday.

Professor Alpen Knighton looked around at the assignments the students were going to create with serious eyes.

‘s pre-term assignment was drafting a structure.

And the final exam is the actual writing of the structure.

As the two are connected, most of the students are already building structures.

As there is an evaluation next week, it became very difficult if I didn’t finish almost this week. Even the next week, as there were final exams for other lectures, time was even more scarce.

“Professor Knighton.”

“Professor Fluworks. Hello.”

Professor Alpen lightly bowed his head and greeted Professor Rosine.

They both knew each other as they were from imperial bureaucrats.

“Students’ assignments look great! I think it’s because the professor taught me well.”

“It’s embarrassing that I still lack a lot.”

“This is enough. They are first graders.”

“Even in the first year, a wizard. Even the students don’t want to be treated that way.”

“……”

The students who were working behind the scenes pouted.

It’s not!

“Mrs. Wardanaz. Mr. Wodanaz.”

Lee Han, who was driving a magic stone into a yew pillar, shook his head and answered when Rowena of the White Tiger Tower called.

“I’m busy right now so I can’t make snacks. Rowena. Tell the princess to be patient.”

“……”

The princess, who was making her own assignments with her followers from a little distance away, looked at Lee Han with regret and astonishment.

“yes? no. I’m not here for snacks.”

“ah. okay?”

Lee Han put down the hammer and looked away.

“Then why did you come?”

“Can you lend me some magic?”

“……”

“……”

“Isn’t that a warlock?”

Asan murmured in a disgusted voice.

For magicians, the magic of absorbing other people’s magic was close to taboo.

It was a natural reaction as it touched something more important than the wizard’s life.

Gainando jumped up and denied it.

“It’s not like you’re a black magician absorbing someone else’s mana!”

“uh? Don’t you have any such means?”

“No… it won’t happen.”

“Don’t come closer.”

“You bastard! I don’t think other schools have such means!”

‘There probably won’t be.’

Realizing that there was a misunderstanding, Rowena exclaimed urgently.

“I am not a warlock!”

“…no. I must say that I am not a warlock and do not intend to steal magic.”

“I have no intention of stealing magic…”

“Yes. I guess so.”

Lee Han roughly grasped the situation.

When creating the magic circle, a lot of mana was consumed due to various trials and errors, so it was the same with the magic structure.

Lee Han was able to continue pouring his magic power without getting tired, but the other students had to take a break until they recovered.

At that time, if Lee Han put in his magic, the production period could be shortened even more.

“It is okay to give the price in credit rather than barter.”

“oh. Is that so?”

Rowena, who took out the whole piece of meat, was delighted.

Surprisingly, Einrogard’s students preferred to pay outside the school rather than barter. As Lee Han, I was just grateful.

“for a moment!”

“?”

When Anrago of the Alpha family intervened, Lee Han was puzzled.

What are you talking about?

‘Are you trying to interfere?’

If you look at the personalities of the White Tiger Towers, even if they are the same friend, they don’t really like being helped by other Towers…

“Wodanaz. I’ll pay twice as much, so start with me…”

“……”

“……”

“Is that a knight? Is it the White Tiger Tower?”

Kainando muttered in a confused voice.
