Anger

Pahaite’s illusion magic series was more difficult magic than other illusion magic.

Since it didn’t just deal with simple illusions but added the element of heat, the difficulty naturally increased.

【Pahaite’s Lower Illusion】 only went as far as adjusting the temperature to match the illusion, but when it reached intermediate or advanced levels, it could actually summon illusions that attacked intruders.

‘Let me calm down.’

The senior realized that what he was doing was shameful and composed himself.

There was no law saying that new students must fail at magic. Perhaps he was lucky enough that this magic suited his aptitude.

-I see you seem to have talent in fire elemental magic. Let me guess. You showed talent in fire elements during Professor Garcia’s class, right?

”

“The professor has forbidden me from using fire elemental magic.”

The senior was at a loss for words.

Talent aside, what on earth did he do to get banned from using fire elemental magic?

‘What the hell is this guy?’

The group moved to the kitchen for now.

They couldn’t afford to drag things out for long when walking suits of armor or storekeepers could appear at any moment.

The mysterious senior waved the paper and quill pen as he led the group forward.

The door carved with a teapot pattern creaked open.

-This is the underground ‘Kettle’ kitchen. It’s relatively easy to access compared to the other kitchens in the school. It’s a bit disappointing that there’s no alcohol though…

‘Is alcohol important?’

Contrary to Ihan’s thoughts of why they would regret such a thing, the Black Turtle Tower students were very disappointed.

“No alcohol…”

“I’m really so disappointed.”

“Is it okay if there’s no alcohol in the kitchen?”

Ihan was dumbfounded by his friends’ intense craving for alcohol.

‘What the…’

Did you come here to learn or to drink?

While the Black Turtle Tower students were desperately searching through the kitchen hoping to find some alcohol, the senior called out to Ihan.

I had shown an ugly side of myself earlier in “Pahait’s Lesser Illusion,” but now it was time to show a more senior-like demeanor.

How moving the school’s hidden places must be to the naked and starving freshmen who know nothing.

-Come on. Follow me. And be careful not to scream.

-Open that cupboard and take a look.

At his senior’s words, Ihan opened the cupboard with a puzzled expression.

‘Is this some kind of trap?’

Hams and sausages made from chunks of meat hung in clusters.

Ihan was grateful for the sight of sausages that had been salted or smoked.

“Oh my. Thank you.”

The senior was flustered.

Normally, when you’re a freshman, seeing something like that should make your eyes roll back – that would be the normal reaction.

I remember how delighted I was when I happened to get my hands on a sausage in my professor’s lab during my freshman year.

He didn’t even use a fork or knife. He roughly cut it up with a pocket knife and wolfed it down. He could still remember the taste of that sausage even now.

But now that freshman boy was showing a leisurely demeanor, even going so far as to appraise it, saying “Not bad at all.”

No matter how you looked at it, this wasn’t the kind of performance you’d expect from a freshman.

What the…?

“Wordanaz. I found the materials we need. Could you come and help me out?”

“Yeah. I understand.”

The Black Turtle Tower students lit a fire under the cauldron and gathered the ingredients.

The senior asked with a puzzled expression.

-What are you doing?

“I’m trying to make nutritious food for my friend.”

-That’s not a bad idea.

The senior nodded.

The magic school was far too harsh a place to simply accept whatever was given. This was especially true for new students.

To survive, you had to fend for yourself.

-…Wait. Wait.

-That’s not just cooking right now!

The senior was startled and tried to stop him.

The atmosphere was different from ordinary cooking from the start.

The ingredients in the cauldron were undergoing a chemical reaction, emanating a mysterious magical power.

This was a form of alchemy.

Moreover, judging by what they had prepared, it was clear that the process was anything but simple.

‘I think we’ll need some magic spells too…’

-This isn’t a difficulty level for freshmen. Make them quit!

‘Is that so?’

Ihan asked Salko. Having heard this much, he had to confirm it.

“Tutanta. I heard that this dish right now isn’t an ordinary dish but a type of alchemy, making it quite difficult. Is that true?”

“That’s right.”

Salko nodded obediently.

At that sight, Ihan felt slightly relieved.

‘Seeing him act like that, he must have something he’s counting on.’

Salko wasn’t someone who did reckless things. If he hadn’t been certain, he wouldn’t have started something like this.

“Seeing how you prepared like this even knowing, you must be confident.”

“That’s right.”

And Salko held out the scroll to Ihan. Ihan hesitated.

“Here, this is the family secret I’ve recorded in as much detail as possible. I believe you can do it.”

Lee Han was dumbfounded.

It was absurd that Salko trusted him enough to pass down the family’s secret techniques, but more than that…

So you’re saying that Ihan was the cornerstone that the Black Turtle Tower students believed in?

‘These guys are way too overrated.’

The rumors about dark magic have already spread too far to be undone, but this is a completely different matter altogether.

“I’m not that great at alchemy…”

“Priest Siana was praising you tremendously. If a priest from the Flaming Order praised you, then it must be true.”

“Wodanaz. I told you there’s no need to be modest in front of us.”

The Black Turtle Tower students spoke as if asking what he was talking about.

Lee Han seriously contemplated whether he should flatter other people less in the future.

‘Hmm. But it doesn’t seem like I can’t make it.’

First, Lee Han read through the Tutanta family’s secret recipe.

Although the materials were finicky and numerous, it wasn’t a difficulty level he couldn’t handle.

He had done much more difficult experiments several times, so there was no reason to be intimidated by something like this.

-I’m telling you it’s not a difficulty level for new students.

The senior scribbled with a quill pen beside him. Lee Han said.

“I think I can do it though.”

-…You’re going to regret this later.

The senior hoped that arrogant new student would fail at alchemy and get doused with the liquid in the cauldron.

Originally, wasn’t that how first-years learned their limits!

* * *

The liquid in the cauldron turned golden, then the bubbles gradually decreased and began to settle thickly.

The Black Turtle Tower students let out exclamations.

“As expected…”

Salko nodded as if he knew it would turn out this way.

“Thank you, Wardanaz. I was certain you could do it.”

Lee Han felt awkward seeing the Black Turtle Tower students who trusted him more than he trusted himself, but he didn’t show it outwardly for now.

At least it worked out well!

Of course, unlike the heartwarming atmosphere among the new students, the senior watching from the side was so dumbfounded and bewildered that words wouldn’t come out.

-You’re not a new student, are you?? Tell me. What year are you??

“I’m a new student, Senior.”

-Where would you find a new student like you!

Ordinary new students didn’t master 【Pahait’s Lesser Illusion】 in one go. They also didn’t maintain composure when seeing food in the kitchen.

Moreover, to proceed through complex alchemy processes without showing a single mistake.

“Wardanaz is definitely a new student, Senior.”

“That’s right. Why are you being like that to Wardanaz?”

The Black Turtle Tower students began to look suspiciously at the senior whose face they couldn’t even see.

Saying Wardanaz couldn’t do something he was perfectly capable of…

Aren’t you deliberately interfering?

The senior couldn’t be unaware of those gazes. The senior was speechless with injustice.

To be falsely accused like this!

“So Tutanta, is it finished?”

“Yes. This is our family’s secret technique, beer candy.”

“???”

Lee Han doubted his ears for a moment.

However, despite its playful name, the beer candy made with the Tutanta family’s secret technique was a quite serious nutritional and preserved food with substantial effects.

It could be stored at room temperature for several months, and eating a beer candy the size of two finger joints would provide two days’ worth of nutrition.

“Try eating one, Wardanaz.”

Lee Han carefully put the condensed beer candy in his mouth. The sweet and soft taste somewhat reminded him of taffy.

Salko spoke with a proud expression.

“You can feel your mana recovering too, right?”

“…Y, yeah.”

Lee Han managed his expression while recalling when he drank the mana potion last time.

“But why is it called beer candy?”

“Our family’s ancestors, who suffered from beer shortage due to being trapped underground in the mines, made this to substitute for beer and named it that way.”

“I see…”

Having heard a truly useless origin story, Lee Han roughly nodded, cut the beer candy, wrapped it in paper, and put it in his pocket.

Now that he had made the dish he wanted, it was time to take only the convenient things from the kitchen and return.

‘Where were those sausages earlier?’

-This is terrib!!!

The senior urgently wrote with the quill pen. He was so rushed that the last word wasn’t even properly completed.

“What is it?”

-The warehouse keeper is coming! Hide in the corner!

Heat, distort the air!

Heat, distort the air!

Heat, distort the air!

The senior cast the incantation along with the words.

It was magic that required much more effort than before.

He had to create a plausible illusion to hide the messy interior of the kitchen from the cooking.

“Can we fool the warehouse keeper with this?”

-I don’t know either! Just stay quiet!

The senior’s tension spread to the other students as well.

Lee Han and the Black Turtle Tower students watched the kitchen door with stiff, hardened faces.

“…?”

However, the warehouse keeper walking down the corridor didn’t open the door. Lee Han felt the warehouse keeper casting magic outside the door.

“He’s using magic!”

-Magic… Wait. How did you know?

The senior was confused while writing with the quill pen.

He himself had summoned creatures for distant viewing in the corridor to see who was coming first, but that new student had nothing like that.

How did he know?

“Since mana moved, he must have used magic, right?”

-You can sense that from here? No. That’s not what’s important right now. The warehouse keeper seems determined.

The senior looked at the corridor and panicked.

The warehouse keeper, who would normally just pass by, was casting magic on each door for some change of heart.

That magic is…

‘Space magic!’

The senior’s complexion turned ashen. If it were magic from other schools it would be one thing, but space magic was several times more difficult to break.

Magic notoriously known as the most difficult among all magic.

To cast such magic on doors.

‘Why is he doing that! Has he gone mad!’

Couldn’t he just patrol as usual and go rest if there were no particular problems?

He couldn’t understand why today of all days he was suddenly casting space magic on every single door.

After the warehouse keeper disappeared, the senior opened the door and tried to go outside the kitchen.

And immediately returned inside the kitchen.

To Lee Han and the Black Turtle Tower students, it only looked like the door was opening.

“What are you doing?”

-…You’ll understand if you try it yourself.

The new students went out and immediately came back in. They looked at the door with the same bewildered expression as the senior.

-He twisted the space of the door. It’s the warehouse keeper’s magic.

“Do you have a way to solve this, Senior?”

-No. We’re doomed.

At the senior’s writing, Lee Han nodded as if there was no choice and said.

“So we’ll end up going to the punishment room like this.”

“Sorry, Wardanaz. Because of us, you got involved for nothing.”

“It’s fine. I was prepared for this from the beginning. Just keep your promise later. We didn’t steal anything, but just in case, everyone hide things well.”

-…

Even when he was about to enter the Punishment Room, the senior was shocked by Lee Han’s unchanging expression.

What kind of…?

-Actually… there is a way.

“Ah. Is that so?”

The senior became genuinely curious about what kind of situation would have to occur for this new student boy to panic.
