This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Everyone calm down!Yoner calmed his panicked friends.
Lets check the test content first. Its too early to despair yet. Whats the test about?
Students attending the lecture must each take a wooden box containing Thundersteps Purple Sandalwood Incense and perform incense analysis by next week.
-Thunderstep
Are you insane!
After checking the test, Yoner flew into a rage and threw the paper into the air.
Students who didnt know what purple sandalwood incense was still couldnt grasp the situation and asked.
Meikin. What is purple sandalwood incense?
Do you remember the flower incense we dealt with in class before?
Yeah. Ah. If its something like that, I could somehow manage in a week
Its an incense dozens of times more complex than that.
Are you insane!
The students collectively panicked and ran around in confusion. Lee Han was equally bewildered and fell into deep thought.
What? Why did the test change? Did the upperclassmen guess wrong from the beginning?
No matter how much Lee Han was the top student of his year, he couldnt have expected that the professor had deliberately attempted to target him.
Meanwhile, his friends began discussing everything from the professors wickedness to the incompetence of their club seniors.
These people told us to trust only them! Didnt they investigate properly?!
I knew we shouldnt have trusted the upperclassmen!
Uh whats going on?
Jowrin, who had been sleeping peacefully in front of the fireplace, opened her eyes at the students commotion.
The Blue Dragon Tower students were waving their staffs with menacing energy.
Have intruders broken in again!?
No, Your Majesty. The professor just assigned a test.
Ah.
Still not fully awake, Jowrin blinked and carefully asked.
All this fuss over that?
Shh. If the friends hear you, Your Majesty might be in danger too.
Lee Han quickly pressed Jowrins snout up and down.
His friends eyes were half-rolled back from the unexpectedly difficult test. He couldnt provoke them at a time like this.
All this fuss over that?
It is quite difficult indeed.
When Lee Han said this, Jowrin was shocked.
Other students aside, if this Wardanaz family boy said such a thing, it really must be difficult.
It really must be difficult then!
Yes. It is, but why are you suddenly convinced?
Jowrin wants to see what the content is too!
Like when she had performed well in Magical Algebra and Arcane Geometry, Jowrin wanted to shine once again and tapped the wooden floor of the common room with her front paws.
At this sight, Lee Han sent her a suspicious look.
Why, why? What did Jowrin do wrong??
No its nothing, Your Majesty. I just remembered when Your Majesty suddenly breathed fire and charged forward
Jowrin grumbled inwardly.
It seemed like he would bring up the breath attack whenever she did anything from now on.
That was a mistake!
That was a mistake, so Lee Han should forget about it!
I understand. Come to think of it, I remember when Your Majesty secretly entered the greenhouse and breathed fire.
Jowrin pouted and stuck out her tightly shut mouth.
When a large dragon got sulky, furniture near the tail was bound to break. As Jowrins tail moved left and right, smashing nearby chairs, Lee Han finally gave in and soothed her.
Im sorry, Your Majesty. You had good intentions after all.
Thats right!
Then you wont act on your own or anything if I show you the test, will you?
Of course not! Lee Han can trust Jowrin!
Jowrin flapped her wings and declared.
This time, she really had no intention of disobeying Lee Han and doing something on her own.
Look. This is the kind of test it is.
Uh
Jowrin was flustered by the test content, which was more difficult than expected.
Arithmetic and geometry were Jowrins domain, but this kind of alchemy required essential experience and knowledge.
She tried sniffing the purple sandalwood incense flowing from the wooden box, but it was made so complexly that she couldnt even guess.
Gasp. Hallucinations
Your skin is turning to stone!
Moreover, Jowrin was at an even greater disadvantage due to her resistance.
Students could immediately experience the effects when they smelled the incense, and could organize those effects to analyze them in reverse.
But people with natural resistance like Jowrin or Lee Han couldnt see much effect even when smelling the purple sandalwood incense.
Usually this would be an advantage, but in this situation it worked as a disadvantage.
Hmm. As expected, no effect.
This is unfair! Only Lee Han is at a disadvantage!
Jowrin was angry at the unfair reality where only Lee Han was disadvantaged and shouted.
A student still seeing flickering hallucinations and a student whose skin had turned to stone looked at her as if she were ridiculous, but Jowrin didnt notice.
If there are advantages, there are disadvantages too. Anyway, Your Majesty. This is the kind of test it is.
Hmm Hmmm!
Your Majesty. You dont have to help with every test. This is my test and I can handle it myself.
Lee Han spoke because he was slightly worried seeing Jowrin thinking so seriously.
Do I look like Im having a really hard time?
He wondered if Jowrin, coming from outside, saw Lee Hans schedule as excessively harsh and was trying to step in because of that.
Of course it was harsh, but he didnt want to worry the still young Jowrin.
No! Jowrin wants to solve this test magnificently too and brag and show off to other students. Especially to Lee Han!
Lee Han was dumbfounded by the more materialistic reason than expected. Gainando, who was reassembling the broken chair nearby, was slightly impressed.
That girl. Shes annoying but she knows something.
Hey. Ill assemble the chair, so you go study.
Lee Han chased Gainando away. Gainando grumbled things like You always told us to serve the tower! and retreated.
Jowrin, who had been pondering, suddenly opened her eyes wide. A very brilliant idea had occurred to her.
Lee Han!!!!
What is it?
Why are you suspicious! Jowrin hasnt done anything yet!
Haha. Im not suspicious. I was just asking. So what is it?
Jowrin is a dragon.
I suppose thats true.
A dragons body is a very powerful reagent.
Wait.
Lee Han immediately stopped her.
Thanks to dealing with various imperial family members, he had learned to recognize the peculiar signs when royalty was about to say something nonsensical.
Youre not suggesting we try incense analysis using parts of Your Majestys body like scales or claws, are you?
Uh well somewhat theres that aspect What do you think, Lee Han?
Well. Unlike othe reagents, since its such a powerful reagent, the process would be much easier and simpler. It would save time too.
Thats right! Actually, Jowrin thought so too!
Lee Han smiled. Jowrin also giggled along.
And after that, Jowrin had to be scolded for an hour.
***
Its not over yet!
Night.
Jowrin pretended to sleep in the common room while slightly opening one eye.
Among the students passing by in a dizzying manner, Lee Hans movements came into view clearly.
And also the reagent pouch he was carrying.
Ill prove it with Jowrins power!
If it had been before coming to Einroguard, Jowrin would have certainly stayed still after being told not to do something.
But after coming to Einroguard, Jowrin had grown rapidly mentally. Naturally, her stubbornness had grown proportionally as well.
She had been scolded for attacking the demon monster and the forced mandragon growth, but that was that and this was this.
This time Jowrin was right!
If Lee Han had known, he would have deeply regretted thinking I shouldnt have guided her around Einroguard, I raised a dragon brat.
But there arent many opportunities, so I must move carefully.
Jowrin used the brilliant mind of the dragon race to think over the situation.
Originally, she would have experimented using various dragon byproducts, but since Lee Han had scolded her and refused, such leisure was impossible.
She couldnt analyze the sandalwood incense nor experiment with reagents, so it seemed like all methods were blocked
But actually, they werent.
-Meikin. Meikin. Jowrin has something curious. Im curious about whats the most powerful reagent that comes from a dragons body!
-Uh, did someone ask Your Majesty for it by any chance? And is that professor a beaver beastman by any chance?
Yoner was suspicious, but when Jowrin kept insisting and asking, he eventually answered.
Most byproducts from a dragons body were powerful reagents, but among them, the most powerful in the current situation was the dragon stone.
This small stone generated within a dragons body could neutralize any fragrance in an instant.
-Hehehe
-Your Majesty. Someone really didnt ask for it, right? Its not Professor Ber, right??
She couldnt analyze the fragrance or experiment with reagents, but it didnt matter.
Jowrin planned to take out the dragon stone and solve it all at once.
-Um, excuse me?
When the baby basilisks voice was heard, Jowrin awakened from her meditation.
A wise dragon doesnt do such things alone. Naturally, Jowrin had recruited accomplices.
The baby basilisk and Eandurude. These two comrades bound by friendship would become reliable helpers.
-
The two who were suddenly called out made very displeased expressions.
-Last time you shot breath in the greenhouse and caused big trouble!
That was the old Jowrin! The current Jowrin has grown and is different!
It seems reckless
Does Eandurude not trust Jowrin!?
Huh? Yeah.
Eandurude looked at Jowrin as if asking what she was talking about. Jowrin was greatly shocked.
Shouldnt the answer I trust you naturally come out here?
If you dont help, Ill tell on you for participating in the greenhouse incident last time!
Jowrin, filled with venom, immediately switched tactics.
Thanks to learning from an excellent master, Jowrins intimidation was quite skilled. The baby basilisk was startled.
-Th-th-thats not right! Eek!
Hmph. Instead of crying, decide whether to participate. Before I tell on you.
Eventually, the baby basilisk made a tearful face and said she would participate.
Next was Eandurude. Jowrin looked at Eandurude and said.
Jowrin is disappointed in Eandurude.
Sure.
Whether Eandurude was disappointed or not, she replied with an indifferent expression.
You usually say you want to become stronger, but you wont participate at times like this!
What?
Think about it, Eandurude! Why Lee Han is so strong. Because he boldly stepped forward even when it was reckless and difficult. He didnt avoid it while making excuses like Eandurude!
Eandurudes face hardened.
Jowrins speech had touched her pride. Almost growling, Eandurude shouted.
Fine!
I believed in you!
When the two friends finally stepped forward out of friendship, Jowrin was overjoyed.
-So whats the plan?
Its very simple.
Jowrin excitedly explained.
1. Steal Lee Hans reagent pouch.
2. Put the dragon stone inside.
3. Return it.
4. Lee Han, who opens the reagent pouch and prepares for the alchemy test, realizes he was wrong and reflects.
5. The end! Long live Jowrin!
Even Lee Han, who had scolded her, couldnt blame Jowrin for this matter.
-Uh, why not?
??
Because theres no evidence! Theres no evidence that Jowrin did it!
-
The two thought that if such a very rare reagent like dragon stone suddenly appeared in the reagent pouch, anyone could see there was only one culprit, but they didnt bother to say it out loud.
They were worried this dragon might come up with another strange plan if they did.
Its not like they would be the ones getting in trouble anyway
-I like it!
Good! Then go and steal the reagent pouch!
-I suddenly dont like it anymore.
The baby basilisk grumbled.
She never thought she would have to be the one to steal it.
Looking at size alone, it was the most suitable role though
Eandurude has to draw Lee Hans attention!
Eandurude briefly considered whether to just report to the senior right now. Jowrin, perhaps sensing danger with her racial instincts, immediately said.
If you give up here, it means Eandurude got scared and backed down!
I get it already.
Eventually, Eandurude grumblingly accepted the role.
