âThatâs right. i get it.â
I could feel the earnest sincerity in Lee Hanâs voice, and Professor Woorewalk was overwhelmed without realizing it.
âWhat were you doing, Professor? I hope youâre taking a breakâ¦â
The disciple looked at the master suspiciously.
If I had finished my work first and came back, I should have done something else. I doubted that I was resting.
Seeing those eyes, Professor Thunderwalker reflected on whether he had treated his students too harshly.
ââ¦no. I was doing my job too. Look.â
Professor Thunderwalker gestured and pointed out the window of the mansion.
A few fruit trees were plentiful in the garden, arranged in typical southern style, and two servants were clearing the leaves and cutting the grass.
Lee Han, who saw this, was puzzled and asked.
âHave you secured the fruit?â
ââ¦â¦â
Professor Thunderstruck was at a loss for words because it was such an idea like an Einrogard student.
âNot by the tree, but by the side! Opposite window!â
âaha. Thatâs what you said.â
It was only then that Lee Han was able to witness the window Professor Thunderwalk pointed at.
In the large room of the mansion on the other side, the people of the Maikin family and the city alchemists were shaking hands.
Looking at their faces, it was clear that the negotiations had ended satisfactorily.
âI was persuading the people of the Alchemist Guild. At least, they are the ones who can talk the most.â
âAre the people in the Alchemist Guild good-natured?â
To Lee Hanâs question, Professor Thunderwalk immediately replied as if asking what he was talking about.
âno. Guild guys all have bad personalities. Where are the good-natured guild guys? Good-natured guys donât join the guild.â
ââ¦â¦â
Since a guild is a group of people with the same purpose and direction, they did not easily compromise or yield.
It was the same with the Alchemist Guild.
âThen why do they say they communicateâ¦â
âBecause of the situation. First of all, this request was entrusted to me by the Meikin family, and I am also an alchemist from Einrogard.â
Professor Thunderwalk lit a pipe and said.
The Meikin family was a noble family that occupied a large portion of the Empireâs alchemy world, and Professor Thunderwalk was also a famous alchemist in the Empire.
If you stretched out or threatened them with their suggestions, you could face severe retaliation.
âOf course, since there are people in the city, the Meikin family wonât retaliate by cutting off the distribution of materials or reagents, but they wonât notice.â
âokay. Can you retaliate too?â
âme? I can too.â
â!â
Lee Han was surprised.
Professor Wooregeol, if you have to ask, isnât it from a prestigious scholar line?
Far from being in power or wealth, he seemed powerless to retaliate in this situation.
âAre you asking the principal or Professor Bagreg to raid?â
ââ¦What crazy things are you talking about!? Itâs to the point of blocking invitations to the Imperial Alchemy Society!â
âAhâ¦â
Lee Han was disappointed.
It was a little trivial for retaliation.
Of course, from the professorâs point of view, Lee Han seemed like a madman.
âShouldnât I shorten the time I spend hanging out with the principal?â
Iâm still in the first year, so what should I do laterâ¦
âI didnât make an unreasonable suggestion. The Maikin family agreed to supply some rare reagents, and I also agreed to improve the recipe for the three types of potions. Anyway, the alchemist guild said they would cooperate with our mediation plan.â
âokay. Fortunately, the.â
âNow another guild is the problem.â
Professor Thunderwalker exhaled smoke and said.
âThe fishermenâs guild⦠wherever it is, they understand the stubbornness of the original sailors. Emotions are deep, so it may not be possible to persuade them with gains. Itâs a matter of prideâ¦â
âThatâs it.â
âAnd I donât know what the adventurersâ guild guys are thinking. Originally, adventurersâ guilds are crazy guys who go back and forth like this, but this is especially so⦠no matter how small the scale is, shouldnât we have a clear opinion? You have to tell me what youâre thinking, tooâ¦â
âSo thatâsâ¦â
Professor Thunderwalk, who had been talking excitedly for a while, finally noticed Lee Han and asked.
âwhy? Do you have anything to say?â
âThe Fishermenâs Guild says they cooperate.â
ââ¦what? why??â
If it were another student, the reaction would have been âDid you drink from the storage room while I wasnât looking?â, but the reaction was different because it was Lee Han.
Professor Wooregeol believed and then asked.
What happened?
âUh⦠so itâs not clear yet, but they said they were moved by the hard work we did at the fishermenâs guild.â
ââ¦Did the Shadow Ranger hunters risk their lives to rescue a drowning fisherman?â
Professor Wooregeol was very embarrassed.
Other than that, the headstrong fishermen were unlikely to be impressed.
âItâs not like that. I heard that I was moved by risking my life to catch monsters. It was touching to see Einrogard students catching monsters without sparing themselvesâ¦â â
â¦â¦â
Professor Thunderstruck was at a loss for words.
When I heard it, it seemed plausible.
âWell, since itâs Einrogard, it looks normal, but it looks different from the outside!â
âThatâs right. check it out Thank you anyway.â
âAnd the Adventurerâs Guildâ¦â
âDid you mention the Adventurerâs Guild as well!?â
Thunderstruck Professor almost dropped his pipe.
After hunting and subjugating all morning this morning, I just returned to the mansion for lunch. When did you convince me like that?
âyes. It seems that there was some misunderstanding in the Adventurerâs Guild. This side doesnât want a confrontation, either way, itâs said that theyâll be satisfied as long as they can participate in the gathering quest with a proper reward. I didnât have any particular desires.â
âokay? thatâs amazing Why didnât you say anything?â
âI think he was a little intimidated by the reputation of Einrogard and the Meikin family.â
âAh⦠that could be. Shit. I made a mistake.â
Professor Wooregeol clicked his tongue.
Come to think of it, this was my mistake.
I should have judged more calmly how the people who came with me would look.
âYou scared me unnecessarily. It seems you have resolved the misunderstanding well though?â
Professor Wooreeul looked at Lee Han proudly.
In Ein Lorgard, there were really few students who showed that level of sociability.
In particular, even though he is from the Wodanaz family, he solved the misunderstandings of the frightened people and bought them a sense of intimacy.
âyes.â
âAs expected, if you talk directly with a young student, misunderstandings will inevitably be resolved. Even the wizard Ein Rogard is a human being.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han didnât even mention that the adventurersâ guild people greeted each other trembling because of the Wardanaz family and Professor Voladi.
Anyway, communication with each other was successfully finished.
âThen we should talk right now, both of you. Thank you very much. Wodanaz! You are the only one!â
âyes. professor. Andâ¦â
â?â
As the student seemed to still have something to say, Professor Thunderwalker looked away.
âIf you hear about Mr. Serpentâs traces, Professor Voladi, the negotiations will turn into muddy water.â
ââ¦I get it. Calm down.â
* * *
After negotiating with the two guilds that came belatedly, Professor Thunderwalk was so delighted that his mouth broke.
âGood job! Wodanaz! Good job!â
âI was just lucky.â
âYou can rest! Rest well until you return. Is there anything else you want?â
âUh⦠canât you give your friends some time to rest?â
Professor Thunderstep hesitated.
âThe work isnât over yet.â
âIf you calculate the schedule, you have room, right?â
âItâs not like that. But donât you know too well If something happens, that leisureâ¦â
Professor Thunderstruck, who was about to say something, licked his lips and nodded.
âdone. You have to listen to this kind of request.â
âAre you sure?â
Lee Han was a little surprised.
I didnât expect much.
âokay. To be honest, I was thinking that I might not be able to persuade him until tomorrow⦠I solved it like this, but I wonder if he wonât listen to me. Even if the schedule is twisted, it will be enough if other professors sit together.â
As there was no need to go around persuading, it was more than enough for Professor Thunderwalk to sit together and work.
Besides, Professor Thunderwalk was not a cold-hearted person enough to refuse to accept the request of a student who had made such a feat.
And if I built up a grudge against Lee Han, I was seriously worried about after graduation.
A person like Professor Verdus would never have thought that he would be stabbed, but he would not be Professor Thunderstruck.
âLetâs go together to deliver the news.â
âyes.â
Professor Wooreeul and Lee Han walked down the hallway and headed to the studio.
The professor opened the door and shouted.
âHey guys. I have good newsâ¦!â
ââ¦?â
Professor Lee Han-gwa was a little taken aback.
The workshop was almost empty.
Only a few students were seated and others were not visible.
âWhere have you all gone? Maykin?â
Professor Thunderwalker looked at Yoner and asked.
Yoner answered, averting his gaze.
âI do not know. professor.â
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Professor Lee Han-do and Woore-geol were able to grasp the situation right away.
The students are out to play!
Yoner and some of the top students stayed because they said, âI still have to finish what I have to doââ¦
âHave you seen these guys going to the punishment room!â
The thunder-walking professor jumped up and down.
You secretly run away when your work isnât over!
In the meantime, Yihan secretly asked Yoner.
âYoner. What were you all thinking? I havenât finished my workâ¦â
âThat⦠you said you had some free time.â
âah.â
It was only then that Lee Han recalled what he had told his friends about the schedule.
The students who found out about it were like, âHuh? Then itâs okay to go out?â
âIâll have to keep this a secret from the professor.â
âfor a moment. Yoner. I have one more question. Where did you all get your money from? You wonât have any money.â
This was also part of Professor Thunderwalkâs carelessness.
As the students do not have silver coins, there is not much to enjoy even if they go out.
âSome people borrowed it. I asked the people from the Meikin family.â
âah. Did the Black Turtle Tower students borrow it?â
Lee Han thought it was plausible.
As much as itâs practical and doesnât care about face, even if you borrow it saying âIâll pay you back as a quest reward laterââ¦
âNo. Blue Dragon Tower students.â
Yoner replied with a slight blush on his face, perhaps a little embarrassed.
ââ¦uh? really?â
âhuh. In the first place, itâs not easy to talk about asking for a loan unless youâre a close familyâ¦â
How could the Black Turtle Tower students have any connection with the Meikin family?
Only the students of the Blue Dragon Tower could do it.
Butâ¦
âBut the other kids wonât be able to ask because of face?â
âhuh. Are you a bit surprised?â
Yoner swallowed back his words, âI think there are probably a few kids who gained courage from seeing what Lee Han was doingâ.
It was out of respect for his friendâs honor.
âThen what about the rest?â
âThe rest went out just fine to go outside.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han suddenly remembered his seniors in healing magic and felt sad.
After the thunder-walking professor finished running, he sighed and said.
âWardanaz. Tell them to go out and play in moderation and then come back. Please come in before tonight.â
âthank you.â
â!?â
The remaining students were startled when Thunderstruck suddenly gave them permission.
It didnât even end there.
Isnât Professor Thunderwalk taking out his wallet and throwing it at Lee Han?
âEat something delicious. Do not buy strange artifacts or potions.â
âthank you.â
ââ¦!!â
Shock.
buzz.
While the students stood up in panic, Priest Shiana approached Lee Han and whispered in his ear.
âMaybeâ¦â
âYes. The negotiations were successfulâ¦â
âDid you threaten the professor?!â
ââ¦no.â
