Anger

Anger
Anger
Lee Han didn’t know.
He had no idea what an amazing opportunity it was to receive such affectionate loyalty from a griffin.
‘This kid…!’
Professor Lightningstep coughed in frustration. Lee Han picked up his pipe with a worried expression and said.
“Did you swallow it wrong?”
“No!”
Who was worrying about whom here?
Professor Lightningstep calmed down and spoke again.
“How about being a bit more kind to it?”
“How can I be more… kind than this?”
Lee Han answered with a slightly flustered voice.
His voice was so sincere that even Lightningstep had nothing to say.
The students didn’t know, but Lightningstep had been steadily watching the stables.
Since he had entrusted his precious horses to these blockheads—no, new students—this much was natural.
And Lee Han really did take care of the griffin diligently. It wasn’t easy for a boy from a great noble family to be this conscientious.
Saving its life was one thing, but the affectionate care he had shown before that must have also played a part in the griffin opening its heart.
…But that was that, and not trusting the griffin now was a separate matter.
“Is there a problem with how I feed it or brush it?”
“No. Not that… I mean trust and faith, you know.”
-Puheung.
At Lightningstep’s words, the white horse nodded as if asking him to say more.
Of course, Lee Han didn’t give in easily.
“Being kind and believing everything without suspicion are different things, Professor. Isn’t the latter irresponsible?”
“…”
The Wardanaz family boy was only saying correct things today.
When taming animals, overlooking their instincts and unconditionally trusting them wasn’t a good habit.
You should trust and love them while maintaining some degree of suspicion…
That was right, but…!
-Puheuheng! Puheuheng!
“Look at this. It gets angry right away.”
“Fine. Handle it yourselves.”
As Professor Lightningstep gave up and turned around, the white horse glared at him.
Yoner asked curiously.
“Come to think of it, what’s that horse’s name? It doesn’t listen even when we give it a name and call it.”
The horses in the stable understood when given names and called, but the white horse didn’t understand.
To be precise, it refused to understand.
-It seems to hate whatever name we give it.
-Maybe it just has a bad temper?
-No. Maybe it’s because the names aren’t to its liking.
-Maybe it just has a bad temper?
-It might have an original name, so let’s ask the professor later.
-I think it just has a bad temper.
Professor Lightningstep was slightly flustered.
It was fortunate he had turned around. The two students couldn’t see his expression.
“Pon… Ponrig.”
”
“Ponrig… That’s an unusual name.”
“Ponleagra.”
“Phonleagra.”
“Ponleagra.”
Lee Han looked at the white horse and said.
“Phone league. Right?”
-Puhihihing!
The white horse shook its head as if it disliked the idea. Ihan watched this and spoke with conviction.
“I guess you’re just naturally nasty.”
Thanks to Professor Lightning Step convincing the lecture spirit, the students who arrived later were able to give it water much more easily.
The students who came early and had a hard time grumbled.
“That’s not how you give water.”
“How could they possibly know how difficult it is to make them drink water? The real challenge is making them drink when the river spirit is angry.”
Ihan approached Professor Lightning Step, who was recording scores. The professor said, gesturing with his pipe.
“Why? Wordanas, your score is perfect. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“I didn’t come here for that. I came because I have something to ask you. I found a monster’s name while reading a book, and it’s a name I’ve never heard before.”
“Tell me.”
“Do you know about a monster called Sharkan?”
“He’s the king of leopards.”
Professor Lightning Step tapped out his pipe and said.
“According to the legends of the mountain people, it was born between the rocky mountains and leopards. That’s probably why it’s a monster that leopards worship.”
“Is it a dangerous monster?”
Whether he was born between the rocky mountains and a leopard, or between the spirit king and a leopard, that wasn’t what mattered to Ihan.
How dangerous is it?
Professor Lightning Step replied to Ihan’s question as if he found it absurd.
“But wouldn’t that be dangerous? Even regular leopards are dangerous, you know?”
“…What do you think about turning a monster called Sharkan into an undead and controlling it?”
“Why take such a dangerous risk? Just because they’re undead monsters doesn’t mean their primal instincts and savagery from when they were alive completely disappear. If you show any weakness or their resentment builds up, they might break free of control and attack.”
“Oh…”
Lee Han wondered whether he should cast magic from behind or swing his sword the next time he encountered Professor Mortum.
‘Isn’t this worse than the principal?’
Even the principal wouldn’t give a monster like that as a gift!
“But why are you asking that? Do you already want to try making undead monsters?”
Professor Lightning Step said with a grin.
There had been frequent rumors among the professors about his exceptional magical abilities, and it seemed that truly talented individuals were indeed different in every way.
“No.”
“Don’t be embarrassed about the possibility of failure. Setting ambitious goals is something only freshmen can do.”
‘That’s really not true.’
“But even if you want to try creating undead monsters, you’d better do your research first and pick something worthwhile. Do you know what the third leading cause of death was among the Empire’s dark mages last year? That’s what happens when you try to control an undead summon that’s beyond your capabilities.”
Lee Han unconsciously rubbed his throat.
‘I should treat you better from now on…’
* * *
When the time came, Professor Lightningstep stopped waiting and spoke.
“You must have learned a lot from today’s test. Those who usually acted lazily would have learned how their laziness comes back to them, and those who usually acted diligently would have witnessed their diligence bearing fruit.”
Lee Han looked at Ponrig at the professor’s words. When the white horse blinked with innocent eyes, Lee Han became suspicious.
‘This guy is pulling another trick.’
-Puhihihihihing!
As if sensing Lee Han’s suspicion, the white horse got angry. It was indeed far from diligence bearing fruit.
“If you felt your shortcomings, don’t end it there, but strive to fix those shortcomings. It’s not just taming animals. Magic isn’t learned overnight either.”
Everyone nodded with impressed expressions.
However, Lee Han thought to himself.
‘Aren’t the ones who were lazy not here right now?’
The ones making impressed expressions at the professor’s words now were the diligent students, while the lazy students hadn’t even made it near the river yet.
Lightningstep, knowing this as well, said.
“Pass these words on to the lazy ones. Class dismissed! See you next time!”
“Thank you!”
The students tried to return while calming their horses.
At that moment, Salko of House Tutanta approached.
“Wardanaz.”
“Tutanta.”
“Did you feed the carrots to the horse well?”
“Yes. I fed them well. Thanks.”
“I gave them because our horses liked them, so that’s good.”
“????”
Rowena, who was passing by, looked at Lee Han with an expression of shock and horror.
What did he just say…?
“I came to find you because I have something to ask of you.”
“Is it payment for the carrots?”
“No. The carrots were gratitude for what happened before. This matter is separate. There’s something that requires your abilities.”
Lee Han was slightly surprised.
To think that Salko, with such strong pride, would ask Lee Han for a favor like this.
What could it be?
‘Is he planning to rob the principal’s storage or something?’
“Tell me.”
“I need your cooking skills.”
“…”
* * *
【Tower of the Eternally Burning Phoenix】 was a tower where priests from various religious orders of the Empire gathered.
The quietest and most serene place among the magic school’s towers.
The dwarf Muhadin was a priest belonging to the Sisenza Order.
The Order of Knowledge and Learning, the Sisenza Order was a religious order that researched, transmitted, and preserved various studies of the Empire, earning respect from many people.
House Tutanta was also a patron of the Sisenza Order.
“The problem is that Priest Muhadin eats too little.”
“…”
Lee Han was still dumbfounded and bewildered, then belatedly came to his senses.
‘Why are you telling me this?’
“That… I see. That’s unfortunate. It must be because of the poor conditions at the magic school. Have you tried talking to the principal about it?”
“No. Food isn’t the problem. He was originally someone who ate little. The problem is that at the order, other priests took care of him, but there’s no one to do that here. Even though other priests in the tower try to look after him, there are limits.”
Lee Han was about to say ‘So why are you telling me this?’
If it were Blue Dragon Tower, it would be understandable, but from Black Turtle Tower, there was no way there weren’t students who cooked better than Lee Han.
However, Salko continued speaking first.
“While I was worrying about this, I heard about your cooking skills, Wardanaz. I asked other priests in Phoenix Tower, and they praised your cooking abilities.”
“The priests are just being kind.”
Lee Han could understand what had happened.
Thanks to flattering Priest Siana too much, it had backfired.
Just how did they praise him…
“You heard it from Priest Siana, right? Priest Siana is kind, so…”
“I also asked Priest Tijiling and heard it from other priests too. Wardanaz. You’re being excessively modest.”
The Black Turtle Tower students behind Salko nodded as if they had no choice but to acknowledge it.
The tomato vegetable stew that the Wardanaz family boy had made at the black market before was indeed amazing.
One of the Black Turtle Tower students even glared at Lee Han with great resentment.
“Rengid here is from one of the Empire’s most renowned chef families. But he admitted he couldn’t beat you.”
“…”
Lee Han momentarily wondered if the other person was crazy.
‘That wasn’t a fair competition at all…’
Of course, Lee Han could use all kinds of ingredients freely while the opponent could only use limited ones, so such a reaction was understandable.
But still, even so!
“So you want me to cook?”
Lee Han regained his composure and asked.
It was absurd, but it wasn’t something he couldn’t do.
Both putting Salko in his debt and treating a priest of the Sisenza Order weren’t bad things.
It was never bad to become friends with someone who studied well.
“Yes.”
“I see. Have you prepared the ingredients? Or should I help? I can give them to you at a cheap price.”
At Lee Han’s words, Salko shook his head.
“No. I’ve already found the necessary ingredients. We just need to go get them together.”
“Really? Where are they?”
“In the kitchen.”
“?”
Lee Han hesitated.
Was there a kitchen in the dormitory towers?
“Which kitchen?”
“The kitchen in the basement of the main building.”
“…I see. I just remembered I have something urgent to do, so I’ll be going now.”
“Wait, Wardanaz! This is something that needs your help!”
“Wait, Wardanaz! This is something that needs your help!”
“Wait, Wardanaz! This is something I need your help with!”
“Wait, Wardanaz! This is something that needs your help!”
“I can’t do this without you! If it’s not you who infiltrated the White Tiger Tower…!”
The Black Turtle Tower students came running in a hurry.
To conquer the hidden depths of this labyrinthine magic school, they absolutely needed a boy from the Wardanaz family who had mastered magic.
“You say cooking skills are needed, so why are you talking nonsense? Bring out the ingredients. Then I’ll do the cooking for you.”
“Wordanas. Of course we weren’t planning to just ask for a favor! Your mind will change when you see this.”
Ihan was puzzled.
Is there something that would change your mind?
‘What?’
“It’s a forbidden dark magic book.”
The Black Turtle Tower student carefully took out a steel box. When the lid was opened, a book with a blood-colored cover viciously spewed out curses.
“Close it!”
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The students quickly closed the box. Then they said with a proud expression.
“How about it? This should make you want to do it, Wardanaz?”
“…No?”
“?!?!”
