Episode 886
But Jo Woo-rin did not express his thoughts out loud. Although it was a short period of time, my social skills improved rapidly while I was staying at Einrogard.
Maybe it was because of the intuition that the dragon race was born with.
Jo Woo-rin decided that if he said what he was thinking, even the kindest Lee Han might get angry and kick him out of the lounge.
âSince Jo Woo-rin is smart, we should wait quietly.â
Jo Woo-rin, pleased with his own decision, waited patiently.
* * *
âmajesty. âYou have to walk while looking ahead.â
Yes.
âmajesty. âWalk while looking ahead.â
Ugh.
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han used telekinesis magic to confiscate the out-of-print rare Toberiz book that Jo Woo-rin was holding.
Jo Woo-rin screamed and tried to roll left and right, but Lee Han coldly ignored him.
In any case, even if the hallways and walls of Einrogard are broken, it is Principal Skeletonâs job to fix them, not Lee Hanâs.
When Lee Han did not return the book even after several minutes of rolling, Jo Woo-rin became depressed and followed him quietly.
âIâll give it to you later when we return to the break room. Or you can just read it in the break room now.â
no. Itâs more fun to follow Lee Han.
âhaha. âI can tell you that the lecture is interesting. You seem to be magically promising.â
It wasnât really a story about a lectureâ¦
Jo Woo-rin was about to say that Lee Hanâs experiences were more interesting than the lecture, but he stopped again.
Just as I had intuited earlier, even now, I felt a sense of crisis that if I spoke out loud, I might end up back in the break room.
Jo Woo-rin suddenly felt proud that he had grown so much.
âWhat exactly is the story about the river?â
Oh no. Well⦠I wonder what lecture Lee Han is going to take now!
âItâs a [Wizardâs Life with Plants] lecture, but Iâm not exactly going to listen to the lecture.â
At Lee Hanâs words, Jo Woo-rin tilted his head once, then realized it too late and shouted.
aha!
âAs expected, Your Highness. âYou figured it out right away.â
Are you going to help the professor prepare the midterm exam?
ââ¦Noâ¦â
Lee Han was concerned that Jo Woo-rin had experienced only unusual cases and had the wrong common sense about Einroguard.
Unusual things happened due to a combination of bad luck, and Einrogard was a little different from usual.
ââ¦is not it? âHas it always been like this?â
âI donât usually create tests. âYou said earlier that music magic is an exception.â
But obviously other professorsâ¦
âWow. âI feel like Iâm going to faint because Iâm so sad that Your Majesty doesnât believe in meâ¦â
Oh no! Jo Woo-rin believes in Lee Han! Sorry! Donât fall!
âthank you.â
â¦â¦
As soon as Lee Han recovered, Jo Woo-rin looked at him with a bit of suspicion.
Could it be that Lee Han is deceiving Jo Woo-rin?
âOh no. That canât be possible.â
Jo Woo-rin shook his head. There is no way a good wizard like Lee Han would cheat.
âThe reason Iâm going now is to take care of the plants. âDue to the nature of the lectures, it requires a lot of work even during break times.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Most of the students at Einrogard were busy.
Even if you donât fill up most of your time with lectures like Lee Han, you donât have much time to leisurely play.
This was especially true as I had to study and prepare in my spare time even if I did not attend lectures.
In particular, the goal of this semesterâs [Wizardâs Life with Plants] lecture is to grow mandragora.
It was a goal that required a lot of effort and attention.
aha.
Only then did Jo Woo-rin fully understand the truth.
âNow you know. majesty?â
Yes.
Although he was convinced, a new question arose in Jo Woo-rinâs mind: âWhen will Lee Han take a break?â
Meanwhile, Lee Han arrived at the greenhouse on the 6th floor.
Jo Woo-rin, who was leisurely inhaling the warm moisture coming from inside, was puzzled when Lee Han did not enter.
Instead of going in, Lee Han looked around and knocked on the empty classroom door next to him.
-Who are you?
âHe is a person who knows the true value of Mandragora.â
â Wardanazgun. come in.
Bartrek and Ratford, who were waiting in the empty classroom next to him, welcomed Lee Han.
Jo Woo-rin became even more confused and closed his eyes.
Werenât you here to take care of the Mandragora in the greenhouse?
âWhat happened? âWhat is the pattern?â
âItâs half finished. As expected, the snowflake pattern was difficult.â
âWhat nonsenseâ¦! âYou took such expensive reagents!â
When Lee Han seemed angry, Batrek quickly made an excuse.
âOh, I canât help it. Iâm still in my second year. Wodanaz.â
âDonât make excuses. Batrek! âBuyers donât care about our grade level!â
âI. Wardanaz. âI have one question.â
Ratford, who was listening from the side, raised his hand and asked.
âwhat?â
ââ¦Are you sure your highness can hear it?â
Only then did Vatrek realize that a large dragon was staring at him outside the door.
Bartrek whispered in horror.
âhey! What if I bring your highness with me!â
âIâm bringing Gainando with me, so thereâs no reason why I canât tell you to tell Jouri, right?â
âAre you and Kainando the same as Your Majesty?â
Batrek got angry as if asking what he was talking about.
The three of us here were students who had gathered from the beginning of the lecture with a different goal than others.
-Apart from the medicinal properties of mandragora, if the leaves have rare patterns, they are sold at a high price. There are loversâ¦
-Are you saying that during the lecture on raising mandragora, you make separate patterns on the leaves and sell them at a high price?
-Itâs kind of like that, isnât it?
-no. Letâs do it now!
All wizards had to be able to pursue utility.
If you can get both lecture grades and gold, wouldnât you be a true wizard?
Therefore, Lee Han and his friends took on the challenge of growing mandragora and carving patterns on its leaves.
âQuiet. âHis Majesty Jo Woo-rin is not the person to go and report somewhere.â
âi get it. Wardanaz. Let me believe you. ⦠But Wodanaz.â
âwhy?â
ââ¦Isnât the person behind your highness a professor??â
Batrek, who was trying to understand, was shocked to find Professor Boladi standing expressionlessly behind Jo Woo-rin.
Even with the royal family visiting from outside, the professor really couldnât just ignore it.
âunder. Batrek. Are you deliberately changing the story? To avoid responsibility for failure? âAre you still a member of White Tiger Tower?â
âOh no⦠this is⦠a fair pointâ¦â
âProfessor Bagrek is not the kind of person who will go and report anything, so donât worry.â
âIsnât this crazy guy, really?â
Batrek shuddered inwardly.
I knew that the boy from the Wardanaz family had a level of madness that was different from that of ordinary students, but the madness shown today was overwhelming.
You take Professor Boladi around and say things like, âOur professor is fine.â
ââ¦i get it. okay. âMaybe Professor Willow will hear the rumor later and take the leaves!â
âI donât think thatâs the problem now. Isnât the problem that the leaf is only half-finished even after pouring so much reagent into it? âI used almost a whole box of wedding invitation stones in the early days of Buddhismâ¦â
âUgh.â
Batrek had nothing to say, so he lowered his head and averted his gaze.
Whether you are an alchemist or an enchantment wizard, if you receive budget and support but fail to produce results, you will have a similar attitude.
Although Bartreck himself did not notice, it was a posture that his seniors and professors had practiced countless times.
âafter. I canât help it. Batrek. I have no choice but to do my best during the remaining time. âLetâs go in and take care of Mandragora first.â
âi get it. Sorry again. Wodanaz.â
âFinish the pattern while itâs time to apologize.â
ââ¦â¦â
Batrek grumbled inwardly.
âAh-oh. Next time, Iâll definitely have to find the reagent.â
This thought was also the same as that of many senior alchemists.
As the conversation ended, Jo Woo-rin, who was watching, opened his mouth.
Jo Woo-rin has a question.
âWhat are you curious about?â
Is it because of the gold coins that you want to make leaf patterns?
âThatâs not necessarily trueâ¦â
âSome people like plantsâ¦â
Bartrek and Ratford instinctively made excuses.
The two tried to change their minds somehow before admitting it.
âYesâ¦â
âTo save some gold coinsâ¦â
Lee Han-do?
âYou could say that there are quite a few aspects like that.â
Lee Han proudly admitted. Jo Woo-rin asked, resting his chin on his front paw.
Canât I take the gold coins from Jo Woo-rinâs warehouse?
ââ¦!!â
The three studentsâ eyes widened as if they had been struck by lightning.
Batrek shouted without realizing it.
âAre you saying that Your Highness is sponsoring my alchemy?â
no. Jo Woo-rin was only talking about Lee Hanâ¦
Jo Woo-rin answered in a shy voice. Bartrek was equally embarrassed.
âah. sorry.â
ââ¦no. itâs okay. majesty. âWe can earn it on our own.â
Bartrek was slightly impressed by his friendâs specifications.
âWardanaz guy. At times like this, you must be from a great noble family.â
Batrek was also proud of being from a knightly family, but he was tempted by the offer to retrieve the dragonâs treasure.
Thatâs why the dragonâs wealth was widely rumored.
But Wardanaz, honorably, resolutely rejected the offer.
If you receive that, wouldnât it be considered that you were doing it for profit by treating the visiting royal family as guests from outside?
âWardanaz. I respect you. âI was honestly shaken.â
Patting his shoulder, Bartrek looked at his friend. And just like that, I flinched.
Lee Han was looking at Batrek with a murderous gaze.
ââ¦Be sure to complete the pattern within this semester. Do you understand?â
ââ¦I understandâ¦â
* * *
âMakin. âDonât you think Bark is taking good care of you today?â
Sianna tilted her head at the sight of Batrek tending to the Mandragora sapling while sweating profusely.
Of course, the Bark family has a reputation for alchemy among the eastern dwarf families, so it was natural for Bartrek to work hard, but today was especially specialâ¦
âIsnât it because next week is the exam?â
âIt feels more desperate than thatâ¦?â
âthere. âMagic aphids appeared.â
âoh. thank you.â
Sianna sprayed diluted poison to catch the magic aphids.
Looking around, I saw that the students were very diverse as they were about to take their midterm exams.
First of all, students who usually worked hard to manage Mandragora, like Siana and Yoner, were relatively relaxed.
Catching bugs that happened to appear and refilling the water that was lackingâ¦
In comparison, most of the students who were lazy were bustling. There was a fuss belatedly trying to fill in the areas that the bugs had eaten or to drive the bugs out.
And there were some students who were quite relaxed. These were students who were not relaxed because they were confident, but who ruined things early and boldly sold the saplings to their seniors.
âHehe⦠Just go to the punishment room and thatâs it.â
âQuiet. âBecause itâs embarrassing.â
If you ask me, Bartrek falls into the first category, so why is he so desperate?
I couldnât figure out why.
Meanwhile, students in the second category slowly approached Lee Han.
âWardanaz. please!â
âI canât hear you.â
âYou must lead us! âWith the same skills you showed in first grade!â
âI donât know what youâre talking about. âIf other people hear it, they will misunderstand it.â
???
Jo Woo-rin was amazed to see the students chasing Lee Han.
Makein Makein. I have a question.
âWhat are you curious about?â
What are those wizards asking from Lee Han?
âah.â
Yoner explained with a chuckle.
Those were students who had been there since the beginning of the semester.
Growing a mandragora requires water, attention, and sunlight.
If we could artificially give Mandragora the power that the sun emits, it would be possible to dramatically accelerate its growth.
-I heard there is an artificial solar artifact in the principalâs warehouse. Wouldnât it be perfect if I just steal it?
â¦The students who made this decision were trying to somehow attract Lee Han.
Of course, Lee Han was completely ignoring it. There was no reason to take such a gamble when I was already taking good care of raising it.
If I had that, wouldnât Lee Hanâs mandragago grow much better?
âI guess so?â
Jo Woo-rin took one look at the sapling that Lee Han was growing, opened his mouth wide, and then narrowed his eyes and glared at the surrounding space.
As if measuring the interval at which the breath can be safely fired.
Makin is really kind!
ââ¦yes? Why suddenly?â
Iâd like to ask one more question. Are there ever times when no one is here in the greenhouse?
âThere is, butâ¦?â
Yoner felt a strange sense of discomfort.
When a member of the royal family suddenly gives a compliment, they usually have an ulterior motive.
