Chapter 046
-Puheung puheung.
“You want to rest?”
Lee Han stopped walking when the white horse made a tired sound.
He was pleased that the creature that had been so fiercely attacking him earlier was now trying to communicate.
We’re becoming friends!
“Alright. Drink some water here. I’ll give you sugar too.”
-Puheung…
The white horse didn’t want to admit it, but it felt itself gradually submitting to this boy.
-Puheung!
The white horse suddenly opened its eyes wide.
The ancient wild blood flowing through its veins awakened its pride.
It couldn’t submit like this!
Seeing this, Lee Han muttered seriously.
“How do I increase the amount of mana I absorb?”
-…Puheung.
The white horse lowered its eyes and hung its head again.
* * *
Even though he had gotten up early in the morning to take care of the horse, the school wouldn’t wait for him.
Whether he was sleepy or hungry, he had to get up and go to the next class.
Lee Han finished his chores and handed each of his friends returning to the Black Turtle Tower a can of beef and a can of pickled cucumbers.
Nilia, who received the cans, was genuinely delighted…
…or rather, she looked flustered as she searched through her pockets.
“??”
“I… I don’t have any money…”
“…I’m just giving them to you.”
Lee Han reflected on his actions just a little bit.
Was I too harsh?
“Is that really okay?? Really? For real?”
“Think rationally about whether this is really a situation worth asking about again.”
Nilia perked up her long ears and took the cans.
However, Ratford firmly refused.
“I cannot accept this.”
“…”
Nilia glanced around nervously.
‘Should… should I give mine back too?’
“It’s an order.”
“Then I understand.”
Ratford took them. Nilia was relieved.
‘Thank goodness!’
After the two left, Lee Han looked at Yoner and asked.
“I never expected such a reaction. Yoner. Am I being too harsh?”
“No? Why?”
“I see. That’s a relief.”
Lee Han briefly thought ‘Wouldn’t it be more objective to ask someone other than Yoner?’ but decided to let it go.
“Let’s have breakfast. Yoner. The kids who get up early will be in the common room, so I should share some with them. Could you help me record things in the ledger?”
“Of course.”
The two were happy at the thought of treating their friends to a hearty breakfast.
…Of course, it wasn’t something they were doing for free, but being happy was still being happy.
* * *
Lee Han spread mustard on small pieces of bread and placed them on a plate.
The fireplace in the freshman lounge was always a good friend to the students. Lee Han cracked an egg next to the bacon sizzling in the frying pan.
The fried egg immediately began cooking with a sizzling sound.
‘What’s so special about bloodlines that they go this far?’
Right now, Lee Han wasn’t preparing a meal for himself. He wasn’t preparing meals for the friends in the common room either.
This was a meal for the Imperial Princess who would be in her private room.
-Wardanaz. We’ll pay silver coins, so could you deliver a meal to the Imperial Princess like last time?
-Please, Wardanaz!
He was doing it because he was getting paid more, but Lee Han couldn’t understand it no matter how much he thought about it.
Originally, power was something delegated by the majority of the common classes, not something that came from mysterious ancient bloodlines.
What was so special about the Imperial Family that they went to such lengths?
‘Gainando is surviving steadily on his own.’
Even when no one took care of him, Gainando would get up on his own, come down to the common room, and eat breakfast regularly.
It was admirable adaptability.
From that perspective, this kind of consideration from the students might actually be poison for the Imperial Princess.
Knock knock knock-
“?”
The door opened and Adenart appeared just like last time.
Lee Han shrugged his shoulders and held out the plate.
“I cooked downstairs.”
Lee Han felt like Adenart’s expression had brightened very slightly.
Or maybe it was because of the morning sunlight coming through the window next to her.
Adenart carefully took the plate and picked up a fork, then hesitated.
Then she bowed her head slightly before closing the door and going inside.
‘She ate outside last time, but she’s grown.’
Lee Han thought as he came down.
Come to think of it, it seemed like there were followers in other towers besides the Blue Dragon Tower…
If he spoke well to these followers, couldn’t he get separate silver coins from each of them?
‘My goodness. Even though I thought of it myself, what a devilish method.’
Lee Han shuddered at his own potential.
By the time he graduated from school, he might be able to set up a small workshop with the funds he’d saved.
* * *
“Huh? Why isn’t it outside today?”
“Don’t be fooled. They might have hidden monsters inside the lecture hall.”
The 【Understanding of Basic Alchemy】 class was held in Kaksu Hall, one of the annex buildings, rather than outside or in the school main building.
Thanks to the greenhouses inside, the building was warmer than outside.
However, the new students had developed some sense by now.
Just because it was inside didn’t mean it was good!
“Everyone gather! Prepare for when monsters appear!”
“Imperial Princess. Please come this way. We will protect you.”
“…”
Lee Han was dumbfounded looking at the other tower students.
The Imperial Princess was also a Blue Dragon Tower student!
“Don’t worry, Wardanaz. We’re not inferior to them either.”
Asan Dalcard said with a confident smile.
Lee Han’s group had also gathered quite a number by now.
Lee Han, Yoner, Asan, and Nilia.
In terms of member quality, they were absolutely not inferior to any other group.
“Everyone take your seats.”
Thunderstep came in yawning. For some reason, his face looked full of fatigue.
“Professor. Why aren’t we doing it outside today?”
“What? Well, it’s an alchemy class, so we do it inside.”
The dwarf professor looked at the student who asked the question as if he were an idiot.
The student asked again in confusion.
“But last time you said we’d do it outside because gathering materials is important for alchemy…”
“That’s when we’re gathering materials, you blockhead. Are you planning to make potions outside too? Such an inflexible fellow.”
After finishing his words, Thunderstep quickly looked around.
“You were probably all thinking similar thoughts, right? But don’t worry. Unlike outdoor alchemy classes, indoor alchemy classes are very safe and comfortable.”
‘That’s a lie.’
‘That’s a lie.’
‘Anyone who believes that would be 100% a fool.’
The students weren’t fooled. Thunderstep seemed to notice their expressions and grinned wickedly.
“Now! Everyone pour water into the cauldrons in front of you. Alchemy is a comprehensive art. From gathering materials to putting out the fire, there’s no unimportant action. But among all of these, the process of making magic potions is even more important. Those who waste the materials they’ve painstakingly gathered can never become excellent alchemists! Open your books! And try making a 【Lower-Grade Mana Recovery Potion】!”
Rustle-
Only the quiet sound of books being opened could be heard from various places.
‘This is going to be difficult.’
At first glance, alchemy might seem much easier than other magic.
Wasn’t it just a matter of adding materials in a set order without needing to learn complex and difficult magic?
But when he actually tried it, Lee Han immediately understood why alchemy was difficult.
Alchemy was similar to making a very difficult dish in a short time without rest.
-Cut off the base of the galamaldu and cut the remaining part into pieces the size of two pinky finger joints. At the same time, you must tear the seolhyang herb finely by hand, and at this time you must tear it quickly before the galamaldu dries. Boil the cut galamaldu for 3 minutes and the seolhyang herb for 2 minutes and 30 seconds in boiling water. Meanwhile, prepare powdered red magic stone and add it precisely when the boiling water turns green. When the water changes to orange, stir clockwise three times, counterclockwise three times, and from north to south five times…
You had to prepare all kinds of materials simultaneously on the spot (most couldn’t be prepared in advance), remember in your head when and how to add those materials (there was no time to look at books during actual work), and perform all the excessively detailed actions without missing a single one.
It would be strange if your brain didn’t cramp up.
Bang! Pop-pop-bang!
Sure enough, explosive sounds and various kinds of smoke began rising from here and there. Seeing this, Thunderstep laughed cheerfully.
Bang! Pop-pop-bang!
Bang! Pop-pop-bang!
Sure enough, sounds of explosions began erupting here and there, and various kinds of smoke started rising up. Seeing this, Thunderstep laughed with delight.
As an alchemist, there was nothing more satisfying than watching complete novices cough and choke on the acrid smoke.
If we don’t enjoy ourselves now, when will we ever get the chance!
Uregeoreum, who had been laughing cheerfully, hesitated as he looked to one side.
It was because he had seen Ihan’s pot.
‘Wait, why is that guy so good at this?’
Uregeoreum’s eyes widened in surprise.
Of course, Uregeoleum also knew that the boy from the Wodanaz family was a talented youth.
Not just cleverness, but also the perseverance to quietly handle various menial tasks.
He definitely had talent as an alchemist.
…However, it was customary and proper etiquette for even students with natural alchemical talent to make several trial-and-error attempts and mistakes when first learning alchemy.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing and boring for the senior alchemist!
But Ihan moved without stopping, like an alchemist who had worked in an alchemy workshop for over ten years.
Like a machine, he quickly cut the herbs to precise sizes and tossed them into the cauldron, then turned several hourglasses in sequence and lifted a glass bottle to pour the liquid inside into the pot. All these movements flowed together like a dance without pause.
Uregeoleum had no choice but to acknowledge it.
Genius really does exist.
Otherwise, how could a student who just started learning alchemy display such perfect movements?
‘By my mad ancestor’s beard, I swear no one will believe the things I’ve seen!’
In fact, this wasn’t a stroke of genius.
It’s just the sad result of being ground down under professors for so long!
The inside of Ihan’s cauldron had turned blue. It was a deep, rich blue. Seeing that color, Uregeoleum knew the medicine had been perfectly crafted.
However, Ihan took a small taste, tilted his head in confusion, and threw the medicine away.
Uregeoleum couldn’t understand.
Why are you throwing it away?
Ihan started making it again.
As if to show that what he had demonstrated earlier was no coincidence, his movements were just as perfect.
And a potion with the same perfect blue color was completed.
Lee Han tasted it again, tilted his head once more in confusion, and threw the medicine away.
Uregeoleum could no longer bear it.
Originally, Uregeoreum would leave students alone to overcome any questions they had on their own, but this was something he was far too curious about.
Uregeoleum quietly approached Ihan. Then he asked.
“Why do you keep throwing away your medicine?”
“My mana wasn’t recovering.”
“What?”
Uregeoleum was startled.
Then I read through the book again. I thought I might have written the recipe incorrectly, but there was nothing wrong with the recipe.
I made it properly and definitely drank it, so why isn’t it working?
“Try making it again.”
“Yes.”
Lee Han made it again.
Thunderstep, who had been waiting with an anxious expression, immediately picked up the ladle and drank the potion.
As the blue liquid flowed down his throat, it immediately transformed into magical power and began filling his entire body.
Even if Uregeoreum had made it, it couldn’t have been more perfect than this.
“It’s fine though?”
“Is that so?”
Lee Han drank it with a puzzled expression. Then, tilting his head just like before, he said.
“Not really?”
Uregeoleum was horrified.
Could it be that this genius of the Wordanaz family can present a superior method to the one that Thunderstep confidently proposed?
‘No way! My pride…!’
“Ah. It’s because it’s filled with mana.”
