âHa.â
Professor Wooregeol scooped up a spoonful of rice, put it in his mouth, and sighed.
âafter.â
Professor Thunderwalk sighed as he chewed on the salted radish.
ââ¦why do you keep sighing? Lose your appetite.â
Professor Lightning Walk looked at his nephew and asked as if he was dumbfounded.
After a hard dayâs work, shouldnât we eat well?
At most, the chefs at the mansion prepared a separate dish to suit the tastes of the easterners, but
Professor Thunderwalker replied with a pained voice.
âItâs because thereâs a lot to do.â
The students were exchanging harsh words such as âIt was really hard todayâ and âProfessor Wooregeol enjoys bullying us like a close friend of the principalâ, but Professor Wooregeol also had his own difficulties.
The students only had to work hard at what they were told to do, but Professor Woorestep had to manage the overall schedule and complete the request within the period.
What if the request cannot be completed within the specified period?
-Professor of Thunder Step. Have I overestimated you too much? Canât finish the quest within the specified period. Are you going to be responsible for the studentsâ academic damage caused by that?
It was better to be a little late.
What if I canât complete the request perfectly?
-Professor of Thunder Step. Do you hate it when students study magic? Even if I make a lot of money from now on, theyâre going to steal my safe on the pretext that they donât have research funds, so why are they interfering with getting paid?
â¦Unlike the students, the headmaster was very respectful of the professor, but there were occasional exceptions.
Just looking at Professor Verdus going to the punishment room right nowâ¦
âOh. Still, I know things went pretty well today.â
âYes, but itâs a problem because the schedule is pretty tight.â
Professor Wooregeol glared at the paper with the things to do and stuffed the dumpling into his mouth.
Fortunately, today, thanks to the Shadow Patrolâs active efforts in hunting and hunting magic, their ability to figure out the sea route and create maps seemed to be coming to an end.
As expected, it will be over tomorrow.
âah. You inadvertently thought of Wardanaj as a member of the Shadow Guard.â
Professor Wooregeol thought that if Lee Han heard it, he would have shouted.
They matched so well that I inadvertently thought of putting the two together.
The students in the mansion workshop were working diligently on inventory classification, standard creation, and gathering trainingâ¦
âThis will be finished the day after tomorrow at the latest.â
I didnât bother to tell the students that it would ease their tension, but the current first-year students were excellent on average.
Excluding unusual madmen like Wardanaz, each tower had at least one student who excelled in alchemy, so they were able to flexibly deal with any situation.
Even if I let the students rest for a while, it seemed that things would work, butâ¦
âNo. Itâs not for students.â
Professor Thunderwalk decided not to tell the students until it was over.
Isnât it only the students who suffer when the schedule is delayed after loosening up for no reason?
It was the professorâs job to be strict in this area.
âThe remaining problem is mediation.â
Friction between guilds around here and conflicts between guilds and villagers.
If you want to harvest flowers stably, you have to mediate their problems.
In some ways, it could have been a more troublesome problem than creating a sea route and clearing monsters.
âIf possible, Iâll have to find a solution tomorrow so that the schedule wonât get messed up.â After finishing the writing by sweeping and harming tomorrow
,
contacting the people concerned, listening to the requirements, and thinking about the planâ¦
After seeing Professor Lightning Step and Professor Voladi in turn, Professor Thunder Step let out the deepest sigh he ever breathed today.
âWhoaâ¦â
âWhat? I just felt a bit bad for sighing. Did you swear at me inside?â
âOh no.â
Professor Thunderwalk, who found out his inner thoughts, was horrified.
Still, it was clear that the two professors were of no help in this mediation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Professor Lightning Step will be helpful only when even monsters are released during the negotiations, and Professor Voladi will only be helpful when assassins invade the negotiations⦠He pondered what demands the guild
and city residents would make and what plans they would accept. Professor Wooreeul, who was doing it, found Lee Han passing by and started talking to him.
âWardanaz.â
âyes?â
âIâm glad youâre here.â
ââ¦what are you trying to do?â
At Lee Hanâs distrustful gaze, Professor Thunderwalk slightly reflected on behalf of Ein Rogard.
* * *
The next morning.
Lee Han left the mansion with the professors to finish the writing and clearing of the sea.
The Shadow Ranger hunters had been out since dawn, riding a small boat and speeding across the sea, knocking down monsters one by one.
âThe rumors are true that if one of the Shadow Ranger Hunters enters a mountain peak, the monsters on that mountain peak will become extinct.â
Professor Lee Han admired the lightning strides, but Lee Han had other thoughts.
Judging from the fact that the Shadow Ranger hunters were a bit flustered and averted their eyes when Lee Han and I met eyes, they⦠âWe
came early and caught them because we didnât want them to tell us to catch only what we needed.â
Everyone was fooled by the atmosphere of the Shadow Ranger hunters, but Lee Han was not fooled.
The Shadow Ranger hunters secretly had a corner like Gainan Island.
âIâll check this side, Professor Baegrek, please check the other side.â
Professor Thunder Walk headed to a place where the sea route was not yet written with Professor Lightning Walk.
Professor Boladi looked at Lee Han with an expressionless face. Lee Han said resignedly.
âLetâs go clean up the remaining monsters on the reef.â
âokay. Donât be in a hurry.â
Lee Han thought of pushing Professor Voladi once on the ferry, but decided to hold back because there were many hunters watching him. As the boat moved
, Lee
Han recalled the conversation he had with Professor Thunderwalk yesterday.
-What are you trying to do?
-â¦no! I donât mean thatâ¦!
-yes. You probably donât mean that.
â I swear by the beard, I didnât mean that! listen!
Professor Wooreeul told stories without even asking if he felt unfair.
It was said that the remaining two days had to be resolved neatly, and Gaya Einrogardâs reputation would be maintained, the students would be paid, and Professor Wooregeol would be happy, but the remaining tasks were quite tight.
Although the students had plenty of time to do their jobs (Lee Han relayed this to his friends as soon as the conversation was over), Professor Wooregeol said that it was a headache when he thought about the things he had to mediate.
At first, Lee Han thought, âWhat does that have to do with saying youâre glad you saw me?â
âhmm. but. Compared to those two, Iâm better.â
Lee Han wasnât a confident personality, but I was confident that I would win if I joined those two professors in the social realm.
Apart from that, I was worried that Professor Woorestep would be able to mediate well.
The other two professors wonât help, so Professor Thunderwalker will have to think about it with the people of the Meikin family, but if things go wrong
⦠Rogard will perish.â
âWhat are you thinking?â
Professor Voladi asked if Lee Han was thinking too deeply.
âAh, I was thinking about the mediation plan.â
âYou donât have to worry about that. Itâs because Professor Thunderwalker will take care of it.â
ââ¦â¦â
Originally, it was supposed to sound like âstudents do their work and leave the professors to the professorâ, but strangely, it sounded like âdo I know?â as a bad meaning.
âIt must be because of my mood.â
âTo land.â
âyes.â
âLetâs use ice magic this time.â
âYesâ¦â
the Shadow Ranger hunters beside him asked.
âDo you really need any help? If the avant-garde doesnât stopâ¦â
Professor Voladi nodded.
âNo need. I will overcome it with magic.â
âWith magic! indeedâ¦!â
The huntersâ eyes shone.
I thought it was a wizard who had a hard time moving without people blocking it in front, but seeing it like this, it was a prejudice.
* * *
The head of the fishermanâs guild in the city, Parsher, glared at the sea with a disgruntled gaze.
âI wonât yield a bit. Keep that in mind too.â
âyes!â
âIf there are any youngsters thinking of negotiations or compromises, put those superficial thoughts in your stomach!â
Although his hair was white and his frame was thin, the old fisherman still knew how to spread dignity.
The young fishermen nearby bowed their heads, not daring to reply.
âThe alchemists, the adventurers, and the city council are all thieves. Where did the license for the fishing right granted by His Majesty the Emperor come down? They came down to our guild!â
The question of âWho should pick up sangoria flowers?â has been around for a long time.
A long time ago, the fishermanâs guild had been granted a fishing license from the emperor of the empire to harvest dozens of seafood.
There were no problems at that time. People in the city respected the rights of the fishermenâs guild and bought the seafood they caught.
However, as the years passed, the story became complicated when Sangoria flowers suddenly began to appear around them.
Alchemists who recognized its value insisted on collecting Sangoria flowers, and in the process, the fishermenâs guild got help from the alchemists to learn about the flowers they had never seen before.
Of course, there was no choice but to fight over the rights to who should pick up the flowers.
In addition, the cityâs adventurerâs guild, which had been commissioned by alchemists to collect them, also began to step in.
After arguing over who was greedy and who was shameless, we came to a compromise by paying each other a certain amount each time we picked flowers
⦠this is completely different
The bureaucrats of the empire hated these guilds for wasting time and holding each other in check when it was not enough even if they worked together to solve the problem.
-In the end, the stopgap measures made the situation worse. Be sure to fix this issue!
As much as the order came down from above, the guilds were also firmly prepared.
I will never back down.
I will definitely convince people from outside to prove that our guildâs logic is valid!
And it was the same with the fishermenâs guild.
âAll of this happened because people who didnât even know that history brazenly stepped in.â
âI think weâll have to negotiate or compromiseâ¦â
Some of the young fishermen looked puzzled.
The attitude of the imperial officials was more stubborn than expected.
If the matter had not been resolved, the Meikin family, an outsider, would have stepped forward to solve it.
Even though there was no direct benefit, it was natural that the bureaucrats were angry.
Then, the guilds in the city have to reconcile with each other first and show that they wonât do that in the future, but everyone is saying to each other, âThe moment you propose a compromise or compromise, you show weakness, donât be blamedâ
⦠no see.â
Fascher nodded at the fishermanâs words.
I was angry and grumpy, but there was nothing good about showing a bad side to those who came from outside.
Fascher intended to go and say hello and make a bold claim.
ââ¦why arenât you going up?â
âwell? ah. There are wizards coming down. It seems that wizards hunted them. I heard that the fishermen said, âWizards are also huntingâ, but I think thatâs probably the caseâ¦â â
â¦Arenât you still a student?!â
Fasher was horrified to see Lee Han come out wiping off the monsterâs blood.
Considering the number of monsters and the size of the sea, there couldnât be enough manpower, but I thought the students would fight like that.
Was there a shortage of workers that much?
âThatâ¦thatâs right.â
âwhy?? why?â
âMaybe the other guilds in the city refused to ask for helpâ¦â â
â¦â¦â
Fasher suddenly felt his face heat up.
It was a shame.
A student from outside is doing his best to solve the problem like that even in a situation where he canât get any help from the cityâ¦
What is he doing now, having lived in this city all his life?
