Chapter 011
Sweet things restored people’s minds and healed their souls.
That’s exactly what the jams Professor Thunderstep had brought did.
The students who ate bread generously spread with strawberry jam, raspberry jam, fig jam, and others wore expressions like they were drunk.
‘Tsk tsk.’
The dwarf professor looked at the first-year students with what seemed like renewed pity.
As a professor at this magic school, he knew well how difficult things were for the new students.
While upperclassmen could at least go out, new students had to endure everything within these walls…
“Eat plenty now. You won’t be able to eat like this for a while.”
“Thank you, Professor!”
Thick meat sizzling and well-cooked, and bread spread with sweet jam and butter.
Along with the scenery of spring water trickling by and compatible friends.
Everyone ate and drank merrily.
While the new students ate their fill and caught their breath, Professor Thunderstep personally began cleaning up.
“…Wait. Why is there one jam jar missing?”
“Sorry, Professor.”
“…”
At the sight of Lee Han shamelessly pulling out a jam jar from within his cloak, Thunderstep was left speechless.
‘These new students are really something else!’
* * *
The size of the boar enlarged by mana was more impressive than expected.
Even after eating their fill and smoking as much as possible, there was still a lot of meat left.
Even after Professor Thunderstep took several chunks to hang in his cabin.
“What should we do with this?”
“Professor, is there any way to preserve this?”
Lee Han asked, looking at Thunderstep. Thunderstep nodded and answered.
“There is.”
“!”
“Use ice magic to freeze it.”
“…”
“…”
The new students glared at Thunderstep.
They couldn’t even properly cast 【Light Creation】 and had to practice again with the troll professor next time, so how could they use frost magic powerful enough to freeze meat solid?
“Isn’t there anything else?”
“There is.”
“What is it?”
“Summon ice spirits and get their help. By the way, I can use both methods.”
“…”
The freshmen exchanged glances. Then they came to an agreement.
‘Let’s just not ask that professor.’
‘Yeah.’
Thunderstep seemed to notice this as well and cleared his throat once before speaking.
“Sorry, but at your level, you won’t be able to preserve all the meat here.”
“If you could cast a spell on me, Professor…”
The dwarf professor flatly rejected Nilia’s words.
“That’s not fair.”
“Hmm… would it be okay if I shared some with my friends?”
Nilia looked at the two and asked. Since Ihan and Yoner had also participated in the capture, their permission was needed.
“It’s your share, so I guess you can do whatever you want with it.”
“That’s right.”
“Th-thank you.”
Nilia’s face flushed slightly. She was touched by their thoughtfulness.
I haven’t become close with the other students in my tower yet, but giving this meat as a gift to my hungry and starving friends would be a good opportunity to become closer.
Just as in the mountains, the saying “those who share food when you’re hungry are your true friends” didn’t exist for nothing.
Nilia made the suggestion to hide her embarrassment.
“How about you guys share some too?”
“Oh… for money?”
“That’s actually pretty good?”
Ihan and Yoner were impressed by Nilia’s suggestion. Nilia waved her hands in embarrassment.
“No, I wasn’t talking about money…”
“Definitely. Most students who enter the Blue Dragon Tower probably have a lot of money. There shouldn’t be any problem with providing food to these guys and getting paid a little for it.”
“That’s right! We show kindness to our friends.”
Yoner nodded as if he agreed with Ihan’s words.
Some noble children might have reacted with “How disgraceful, what kind of behavior is that?” but the two nobles gathered here happened to be very practical people.
The ideal of 【Work like a dog to eat well and live well】.
Yoner from 【Let’s Save Every Coin for the Alchemy Workshop】.
The two shook hands with expressions showing they understood each other.
Of course, there were some sane people too. Nilia asked incredulously.
“…are you seriously trying to sell food to your real friends for money right now?”
“Do you do it too?”
“No!”
At Ihan’s question, Nilia stamped her feet in frustration.
“That’s a bit… a bit much, isn’t it?!”
“Nilia. Think about it carefully. How much would it hurt your friends’ pride if they just received things without giving anything in return?”
“That’s right. We’re being considerate of our friends.”
The two nobles were speaking quite convincingly about aristocratic pride, but Nilia was no longer fooled.
“…I’m just going to give them as gifts to my friends.”
“Do whatever you want, Nilia. But you might regret it.”
“That’s right, Nilia. Friendships may fade, but gold coins remain.”
“Do you really think they consider you their friends?”
“Of course, that might be the case. But there’s a better way. The gold coins…”
“I’m not going to listen, so both of you be quiet!”
Professor Thunderstep, who had been sitting in a chair in front of the cabin sipping coffee, shook his head from side to side as he listened to the three’s conversation.
‘Those three are going to be a real headache if they start running around together.’
Since the new students had gathered from all across the empire, there were all kinds of students present.
Those three right now were outstanding talents with both ability and passion, but…
That aside, he had the look of a “troublemaker” written all over his face.
* * *
Tower of the Arrogant Blue Dragon.
This dormitory, located far from the Einroguard Main Building, greeted new students with the fresh scent of a forest that seemed to be inhabited by spirits when they passed through the main gate.
Even students worn down by dry and meager meals would temporarily soften their expressions when breathing in this air.
“…?”
But today’s air was a bit different.
Sizzle, sizzle-
There was an appetizing smell, like meat being grilled.
“Hey. Did everyone eat well?”
“What a wonderful evening!”
“…???”
“????”
The students who came out were bewildered by the sight of a tall male student and a red-haired female student waving and greeting them.
It was Wardanaz and the new student from the Meikin Family.
And what they were holding in their hands were meat tongs.
Crackle, crackle-
Lee Han put firewood into the campfire set up under the iron plate. The thinly sliced meat on top was cooking with a sizzling sound.
At that sound and smell, someone’s stomach rumbled.
Gulp-
“Come on. Everyone come and eat. We caught this for you guys.”
“Re… really?! Is that really true??”
The new students opened their eyes wide and shouted.
Even though each came from distinguished noble families, they were still just boys and girls.
In a situation where their stomachs were about to stick to their backs, this kind of barbecue party was too tempting.
“Yeah. But just pay one Imperial Silver Coin each.”
“One Imperial Silver Coin?”
In the village outside, you could eat your fill of grilled meat like this for two or three coins.
But this was inside an isolated school.
Even charging more than three times the price, there was no competition.
“That’s all?! Isn’t that too cheap?”
“Haha. Do you think we’re doing this to make money off you guys? It’s just that if you ate without paying anything, you might feel uncomfortable.”
“Right, right.”
Lee Han and Yoner spoke to the students with kind smiles.
The students were moved.
As expected, nobles from great houses were different in some way.
To think they would be this generous.
Everyone was hungry and in a difficult situation, so it wouldn’t be strange to eat alone if food appeared, but these two had prepared an iron plate and even a campfire to share with their friends!
“Wardanaz…!”
“Meikin…!”
“Come on. The meat will burn. Hurry up and pay so we can eat.”
“Wait, I don’t have any silver coins.”
“Me neither.”
The Blue Dragon Tower students hesitated. They had entered almost empty-handed, so there was no way they would have money.
Lee Han held out paper and a quill pen with an expression that said not to worry.
“Just write the amount and your name here and sign it. Instead of the hassle of paying now, we can settle it all at once later, right?”
“That’s…! Wardanaz, you’re really a genius!”
“Such a convenient method!”
Scribble scribble scribble-
The students, bewitched by hunger, had their intelligence slightly lowered.
They hurriedly signed and rushed to the iron plate.
Chomp chomp slurp slurp!
Lee Han rolled up the paper and tucked it into his chest, then looked at the scene with satisfaction.
‘I didn’t know business would work out like this.’
Someone might ask if he really needed to earn small change like this, but money was something you had to earn when you could.
Besides, one silver coin wasn’t even small change. You couldn’t find a single coin even if you dug the ground, let alone a silver coin.
If this situation where new students couldn’t go outside continued, Lee Han’s pockets would become quite full.
“Faliek. Instead of forcing yourself to eat cold rice balls, if you put meat grease on this iron plate and fry the rice…”
“Are you… are you really a genius? Wardanaz?”
“It’s just wisdom of life.”
Lee Han patted the students’ shoulders.
Having received silver coins, he could provide this much as a service.
The students, stuffing cooked meat into their mouths as if afraid someone might steal it, looked so moved that if they were to elect a first-year representative, they would unanimously choose Lee Han.
“Wardanaz! Wardanaz! Wardanaz!”
“Meikin! Meikin! Meikin!”
The noble students cheered for both families’ names with their mouths full.
Gainando, who came down late to those cheers, asked with wide eyes.
“What, what… what’s going on??”
“Oh. Gainando. You’re here? Want some meat?”
“What!? There’s meat?? Really??”
Gainando decided to hear about the situation later and tried to rush out.
Thud-
However, Gainando couldn’t do that. Lee Han had grabbed his shoulder.
“Why?!”
“One silver coin.”
“…Money… you’re charging money?”
“If we gave it for free, everyone’s pride would be hurt.”
“That’s true. But I don’t have money right now…”
“What. Just write the amount and your name here and sign it.”
“Lee Han…!”
Gainando made a moved expression.
To think he would be this kind.
True friendship really was found at school.
* * *
Due to the sudden barbecue party, the Blue Dragon Tower students looked a bit healthier.
However, that didn’t make the boring lectures any more enjoyable.
Students who saw the mandatory lecture title 【Basic Magic Character Education】 frowned.
“Character education. What exactly do they take us for?”
“Isn’t this something only commoners should learn? Do nobles like us who know honor really need to learn this?”
“Exactly. I really can’t believe it.”
‘These bastards have a talent for complaining in an annoying way.’
Lee Han thought to himself.
It was because only Blue Dragon Tower students were in the lecture hall, but if students from other dormitories were there, they were casually saying things that would have started a fight.
What was surprising was that they weren’t saying this out of malice.
It was complete bullshit said with a very pure heart!
Everyone, good morning.
Everyone, good morning.
Everyone, good morning.
“…”
“…”
At the telepathy magic hammering into their heads, everyone’s faces turned cold and rigid.
It wasn’t because of the magic. This voice was very familiar.
‘No way…’
Hello! Blockheads!
Hello! Blockheads!
Hello! Blockheads!
“…”
Not from the lecture hall door, but from the ceiling, a giant skull appeared with a ‘pop’.
It was the Principal of this Academy, Osyu Gonadaltes.
The new Academy life is quite enjoyable, isn’t it? After living only within the walls of your families, this life of trying various things with your own strength must be quite thrilling, right?

Of course, no one answered. The Lich Principal looked around and seemed surprised.
Well, look at that. You must have eaten something. You’re faster than I thought? I thought it would take over a month before you could move!

“What do you mean by that? Were we supposed to find and eat food on our own?”
That’s right. I told you to figure it out yourselves.
That’s right. I told you to figure it out yourselves.
That’s right. I told you to figure it out yourselves.
“That’s what you meant? I don’t understand why we have to do such things…”
-Silence!
-Silence!
-Silence!
-Silence!
-Silence!
-Silence!
“Mmph mmph!”
The voice of the student who had raised their hand disappeared completely. The Lich Principal nodded his skull with satisfaction. A chilling rattling sound echoed.
