“It’s just pure academic curiosity.”
Lee Han was skilled at deceiving professors.
Even though Professor Lightningstep was one of the Empire’s most famous explorers, he couldn’t even imagine that Lee Han was looking for flying mounts to escape from school.
“I suppose… it’s possible to obtain one.”
Professor Lightningstep answered cautiously while examining Lee Han’s expression to see if he had noticed anything.
Fortunately, the Wardanaz Family Boy seemed oblivious.
That one of the horses in the stables tended by the new students was actually a griffin!
”
“This school is so vast that it has everything.
“
”
“Except warm meals, daily necessities, and consideration for students.”
“Except warm meals, daily necessities, and consideration for students.”
“Except warm meals, daily necessities, and consideration for students.”
Professor Lightningstep pretended not to hear Lee Han’s words and ignored them.
“With mountains, lakes, underground dungeons and everything else, there’s bound to be flying creatures if you look for them.”
“If I find one, would I be able to tame it?”
“That would be difficult. Taming wild monsters, especially flying ones, is something even tamers who’ve trained for years find challenging.”
Professor Lightningstep spoke sincerely.
If taming were that easy, people wouldn’t choose to fight when encountering monsters outside.
Moreover, most creatures capable of flight had difficult and fierce temperaments.
They were too difficult to handle with a new student’s level of persistence and knowledge.
”
“First, you need to completely understand what kind of creature you’re dealing with. Ordinary knowledge won’t suffice. If you know its habits inside and out, you can gradually befriend it and understand its characteristics… Though it sounds simple, you’ll fail dozens of times during this process.
“
”
“Professor, if possible, could I receive instruction during your spare time? Of course, I’m not thinking of making any reckless attempts right now…”
“Professor, if possible, could I receive instruction during your spare time? Of course, I’m not thinking of making any reckless attempts right now…”
“Professor, if possible, could I receive instruction during your spare time? Of course, I’m not thinking of making any reckless attempts right now…”
It was a lie.
Lee Han planned to act immediately once he judged it feasible.
“…If I ever get the chance to tame a monster in the future, I don’t want to miss it.”
Lee Han’s eyes blazed with burning intensity. They were sincere eyes without a trace of pretense.
Seeing those eyes, Professor Lightningstep suddenly felt motivated.
When a disciple showed such interest, how could a master just stand by and do nothing?
“Good! I’ll teach you in my spare time. Don’t regret it. It’s no ordinary difficult study.”
It would be difficult study involving memorizing thick books about monsters that might appear in this area, followed by hands-on experience, but Professor Lightningstep thought this Wardanaz Family Boy would be fine.
With that level of interest and passion, it would surely be possible.
‘He must be very interested in flight and exploration. That boy…’
‘Find the most promising beast, tame it, then escape.’
Master and disciple nodded while thinking different thoughts.
After the conversation ended, Professor Lightningstep shuffled over to look at the vegetable garden Lee Han had finished working on.
And he was shocked.
‘What is all this…?’
The vegetable garden Lee Han had received from Professor Thunderstep was of moderate size—neither extremely large nor extremely small.
Professor Thunderstep probably thought Lee Han would plant a few vegetables and take them.
However, Lee Han’s vegetable garden was now operating so thoroughly that not even a scrap of space remained unused.
Not only were there various edible vegetables like carrots, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage, but there were also medicinal herbs like chamomile, basil, and rosemary that he’d somehow obtained.
…Was he planning to start a farm?!
Perhaps noticing Professor Lightningstep’s gaze, Lee Han answered as if it were nothing.
“I was worried at first too.”
“…About what?”
“Whether it would be okay to grow things in such a cramped space. But thanks to the Wood Spirit’s staff, everything seems to be growing well without any problems. Isn’t that fortunate?”
Professor Lightningstep looked at the jar of milk placed on the table.
It was a jar he had prepared to give Lee Han when he returned.
Seeing the work being done now, that wouldn’t be enough.
“…Wait a moment. You should eat something before heading back.”
“??”
* * *
Lee Han headed toward the dormitory while taking a bite of roasted potato skewered on a wooden stick.
If he could just forget the fact that he was inside a magic school, it was a romantic evening.
A basket containing this harvest hung on one arm, while the other hand held freshly roasted, salted new potato skewers…
It felt like he had become a farmer returning home after a generous shopping trip.
‘When I retire later, it might be nice to live like this.’
Perhaps due to the atmosphere, the new potatoes were truly delicious. Even though they were just roasted and salted, each bite felt like warm flesh melting away smoothly.
He understood why Professor Lightningstep had specifically roasted them and pressed them into his hands.
‘Was he reluctant to eat something so delicious alone? Maybe he wanted to show off…’
Lee Han didn’t realize that the potato Professor Lightningstep had personally roasted came from his own vegetable garden.
“?”
“Your Imperial Highness. I’ve organized materials from the library and brought them. Please accept them.”
“I also asked other students and compiled things needed for assignments! They’ll be helpful.”
“I found a book this time…”
‘What’s this?’
It was the Imperial Princess and her followers.
New students from all towers had gathered and were sparing no effort in devotion to help with the lectures the Imperial Princess was attending.
Lee Han chewed his potato in amazement.
‘Was there such a method!’
It was an enviable method to the point where he wanted to report to the professors that ‘the Imperial Princess is exploiting her classmates with unjust power.’
While Lee Han and his friends stayed up all night searching through books in the library and still fell short, the Imperial Princess just had to breathe quietly and information rolled in like that.
‘Is it because of imperial blood? But if that were the case, Gainando can’t be explained. How exactly does one gain such followers?’
While Lee Han was pondering such thoughts, the Imperial Princess thanked her followers and then walked up together.
Lee Han, who had been chewing potato and watching from the stairs, made eye contact with his friends.
“Good evening.”
Lee Han wasn’t flustered. The Imperial Princess’s followers recognized Lee Han’s face and quickly bowed their heads.
Wasn’t he the Wardanaz Family Boy who practically dominated the Blue Dragon Tower?
If they made a bad impression, the Imperial Princess’s life in the Blue Dragon Tower could become difficult, so being cautious was natural.
“We greet Lord Wardanaz!”
When someone shouted that, the other students looked at that friend in confusion.
Should we follow suit?
“We greet Lord Wardanaz!”
“We… We greet Lord Wardanaz!”
“…”
Lee Han unconsciously looked around. Fortunately, no one was watching.
‘If anyone saw this, I’d end up in the punishment room for no fault of my own.’
Though he didn’t understand why the followers were trying to mess with Lee Han like this, he answered as calmly as possible.
“Nice to meet you all. I see you’ve been talking with Her Imperial Highness.”
“Yes!”
“We can only be grateful for Lord Wardanaz’s efforts in always devoting his loyalty to Her Imperial Highness.”
“Please continue to take good care of her!”
‘Are these bastards going to attack me if I don’t take care of her?’
Fanatical supporters were always scary. Moreover, the Imperial Princess’s supporters existed outside the magic school as well.
Thinking about his social life after graduation, he had to endure their unreasonable pressure.
“Of course. Don’t worry.”
Lee Han didn’t bother mentioning that he received extra silver coins for taking care of the Imperial Princess.
‘I should change the subject.’
If the conversation about taking care of the Imperial Princess went on too long, Lee Han’s unfair profits might become a topic of discussion. Lee Han changed the subject.
“You all probably haven’t eaten dinner yet, would you like some?”
“…?”
The Imperial Princess’s followers only then realized that Lee Han was carrying various things bundled up. And that he had taken out one of them to offer.
It was a roasted potato.
The sight of a cold-looking boy with a sculpture-like face offering a freshly roasted potato on a skewer confused the students.
‘Is this some kind of… noble joke?’
‘Is it really okay to eat this?’
‘Isn’t this a test?’
“Aren’t you going to eat it?”
“We’ll, we’ll eat it?”
One of the students, perhaps hungry, reached out and accepted the roasted potato.
Lee Han personally sprinkled salt on top of it. The student momentarily tensed, thinking it might be magic potion powder instead of salt.
‘Ah. It’s salt.’
“Is it okay?”
“It’s… it’s delicious!”
Not because he was being mindful of the Wardanaz family boy, but the freshly roasted new potato was genuinely objectively delicious.
The student who received the potato ate it eagerly, then burned the roof of his mouth and choked, coughing.
“Here, drink some milk too.”
“Thank… thank you.”
The student who put the hot potato in his stomach suddenly felt Lee Han’s cold impression soften.
…Was it a magic potato?
“Could we also perhaps…?”
“Sure. You can eat them.”
The hesitant followers slowly reached out and picked up roasted potatoes.
Under the warm evening sunlight, the new students of the magic school were able to become a little closer while eating roasted potatoes.
“Let’s give some to Her Imperial Highness too!”
“What kind of ridiculous rudeness… What if Her Imperial Highness becomes angry!”
One student tried to offer a potato to the Imperial Princess, but hearing his friends’ words, he lowered his hand.
Lee Han felt that the Imperial Princess, who had been standing stiffly, somehow looked dejected.
Like a hungry Gainando…
‘That was too harsh a comparison.’
Lee Han reflected.
Come to think of it, the Imperial Princess hadn’t eaten breakfast this morning either.
Lee Han took a roasted potato and discreetly offered it so others wouldn’t see.
“It looks like there will be leftovers, so why don’t you at least taste it…”
The students had their backs turned so they couldn’t see, but Lee Han clearly saw the Imperial Princess trying to put a freshly roasted new potato, with the skin peeled off, into her mouth whole without cutting it.
“Cut it! Please cut it before eating!”
“…”
The Imperial Princess lowered the potato as if nothing had happened, then cut it and put pieces in her mouth, chewing.
The students turned their heads at Lee Han’s shout and looked puzzled.
“What should be cut before eating?”
“Potatoes should be cut before eating.”
“Haha. Lord Wardanaz. No matter how hungry we are, we wouldn’t just swallow them whole. Of course we cut them before eating.”
“…”
Lee Han looked at the Imperial Princess once, then at the student once, and thought.
‘That guy won’t succeed in life…’

The next morning.
Lee Han finished his work at the stables and walked in step with his friends to attend Professor Garcia’s 【Basic Understanding of Magic】.
Lee Han yawned. Seeing his particularly tired expression, Yoner asked worriedly.
“You look sleepy, are you okay? Did you have trouble sleeping?”
“I slept properly, but I had nightmares…”
“What kind of dream did you have?”
“A dream with a professor in it.”
Yoner didn’t ask further for the sake of Lee Han’s mental health.
Perhaps because Professor Boladi’s class had left an impression, Professor Boladi appeared in Lee Han’s dream.
In the dream, Professor Boladi ordered Lee Han to ride on a rampaging griffin, pass through a ring of fire, and control water orbs. It was a terrible nightmare.
“Good morning, everyone.”
“Good morning, Professor!”
When Professor Garcia opened the door and entered, Lee Han felt his heart become warm.
He hadn’t known before enrollment that meeting a troll could be such a comforting experience.
“Last week, Professor Mortum came to show you what dark magic is like, right?”
“Gasp” sounds came from various places.
It was a fearful reaction wondering if it would be dark magic again.
“This week, a different professor has come to show you what summoning magic is like.”
“Waaaaaaah!”
Lee Han suddenly felt sorry for Professor Mortum, who wasn’t even present.
