Dont joke around.Im not. Please check it.
Lee Han held out the wooden box containing the fragrance. Professor Thunderstep exclaimed in disbelief.
Dont tell me you crudely destroyed it with mana?!
Oh, is that allowed? I thought the wooden box would break if I did that.
Thats right.
Professor Thunderstep knew Lee Hans mana well, so naturally he had installed additional traps with that in mind.
If he tried to brute force it with mana, the wooden box containing it would shatter completely. Sandalwood incense was a very delicate and complex fragrance.
If Lee Han had come with a frustrated face saying The wooden box broke, he was going to say with a somewhat pitying tone, This is a test of fragrance analysis, not destruction. Dont always try to break things with mana
Snatch!
Professor Thunderstep, who had taken the wooden box, was about to open it when he hesitated. Then he said to his disciple.
Wait. Step back three steps.
Yes. But why?
Just because.
Wait. Dont tell me you think Im going to attack you right now?
Lee Han looked at the dwarf professor as if he couldnt believe it.
No matter how he thought about it, this was the only reason he could think of for Professor Thunderstep to tell him to step back.
Professor Thunderstep stroked his beard with an embarrassed look. His disciple really had amazing intuition.
You could say theres somewhat that aspect to it.
Isnt that too harsh?
Dont blame me. Blame your upperclassmen.
There were upperclassmen who tried to attack like this?
Of course there were.
Professor Thunderstep took out a ring embedded with gray heavy stone and swept it over the wooden box. Fortunately, there were no dangerous traps detected.
Oh, what a praiseworthy disciple. I believed in you!
Despite the professors praise, Lee Han looked displeased.
Dont be too hurt. This kind of suspicion is praise in a way. I dont suspect other second years like this.
Why dont you?
Usually it starts from third year
Hmm. I see.
Lee Han nodded as if he had learned something.
Seeing that, Professor Thunderstep thought Oh no.
Had he just taught the baby dragon how to use deception?
Well, Professor Verdus will get hit first anyway.
Thinking that, Professor Thunderstep opened the wooden box. A gentle fragrance flowed out in sequence. These were the completely analyzed components of the sandalwood incense.
Professor Thunderstep would have been less surprised if his disciple had actually attacked him.
Of course, the Wardanaz family boy had always had a talent for surprising people, but this was the first time he had no idea how it was done.
What method did he use to analyze the fragrance so perfectly?
By my lightning-struck beard I cant believe it How did you do this?? Have you ever analyzed sandalwood incense during vacation?
No.
Thats not the problem! Even if you could do it, I thought it would take at least this weekend.
Although Professor Thunderstep had created the test targeting Lee Han, he hadnt completely underestimated his disciples abilities.
He had thought somewhat that he might barely bring it within the deadline.
But to bring it right away as soon as the day changed.
Professor Thunderstep, shocked enough for his beard to stand on end, began rambling whatever came to mind.
You didnt get a dragon stone from Prince Jowurin, did you? No. Thats nonsense even though I said it. No matter how much His Majesty follows you, theres no way hed give you his heart and soul like that.
The professor shook his head even after saying it himself.
Although Jowurin was still a young and childish dragon, a dragon was still a dragon.
They would immediately detect anyone with malice or greed toward them through their bloodline power.
If Lee Han had said Ill bake you a pie, so please give me a dragon stone, he would have mercilessly swung his front paw.
He did give it to me.
What method did you What?
I said he did give it to me.
Lee Han spoke with a gloomy face like the eldest child frustrated by their youngest siblings mischief.
Why did Jowurin keep acting on his own?
***
Yesterday dawn.
Having roughly finished his other studies, Lee Han grabbed the wooden box to attempt Professor Thundersteps test.
Having seen several friends get severely beaten attempting this test, Lee Han was quite nervous too.
Yoner was cursing that the test was made like hell.
Thinking that after graduation they might end up attacking Professor Thunderstep together, Lee Han carefully opened the lid.
Although potions had a strong representative image, alchemy was actually a discipline related to the synthesis of all materials.
The subject could be potions, metals, or even chimeras.
And Professor Thunderstep was a master of perfumery. This sandalwood incense was so well-made that it gave him a headache just looking at it.
At least Lee Han was fortunate that smelling the fragrance didnt affect him much, while other friends had to proceed while experiencing their consciousness briefly traveling to other dimensions.
Black shadow sand.
Lee Han took out a handful of black sand from his reagent pouch and slowly sprinkled it over the sandalwood incense.
The sand left marks with a strange light.
Geranium over the marks.
Geranium petals fell one by one over the marks.
When one petal that accidentally went astray touched the fragrances trajectory, the sandalwood incense in the wooden box churned and blew away the black shadow sand.
Lee Han suppressed his urge to curse and approached again. He had to separate the fragrances one by one somehow.
This wont work. Its expensive, but Ill use malachite.
When people get angry, they tend to make emotional choices.
Lee Han decided to use an expensive reagent he normally wouldnt use to try separating the fragrance. He didnt even need to open his reagent pouch to check.
Knowing what was inside, he could take it out just by the sensation at his fingertips.
Thud-
Lee Han grasped the ore and carefully held it over the wooden box.
Then the sandalwood incense in the wooden box churned and suddenly began dividing into dozens of different fragrances.
?????
Lee Han was so flustered by the changes in the wooden box that he didnt even notice the ore in his hand was golden rather than malachite green.
Meanwhile, the sandalwood incense was completely analyzed. The scene was so absurd that Lee Han thought he was dreaming.
What?
While wondering if he had discovered a new use for malachite, Lee Han belatedly realized the ore in his hand was somewhat strange.
The energy he felt from within was far too extraordinary.
First, the color was different (malachite was even separately in his reagent pouch), and inside it was ever-changing as if the eneries of hundreds or thousands of reagents were condensed in one place, with a gentle light endlessly emanating from it.
A single reagent containing energy powerful enough to replace hundreds and thousands of reagents. It was like a philosophers stone.
Of course, a real philosophers stone couldnt be kept at room temperature like this and would need to be stored with several layers of magical seals, so it wasnt a philosophers stone. If there was something similar, it would be the legendary dragon stone
Jowurin! Jowurin!!
Lee Han, who realized belatedly, kicked his chair and stood up. The baby basilisk coiled in his sleeve opened its eyes in surprise, then closed them again.
Jowurin, you!
Whats wrong?
Jowurin, who had been pretending to sleep and waiting, pretended to have just woken up and opened her eyes.
Lee Han glared at the young dragon with a very stern gaze. The title Your Majesty had somehow disappeared.
Theres a dragon stone in my reagent pouch. Do you happen to know who did it?
Jowrin knows not.
Blinking her eyes innocently, Jowrin answered.
More importantly, was the rosewood issue resolved? What happened?
Be quiet. Im asking you something right now.
Jowrin folded her wings, slightly intimidated by Lee Hans angrier-than-expected appearance.
Still, Jowrin wasnt completely scared yet. She had something she was counting on.
Jowrin. Dragon stones are very, very rare materials. Theyre materials that only dragons can create.
Jowrin knows that too.
Is she insane!?
Gainando trembled at Jowrins defiant response.
When she should be begging for forgiveness immediately, she was being stubborn and provoking Lee Hans temper.
As an experienced arguer, Gainando knew well that such defiant responses only brought miserable results.
Gainando wasnt the only one scared.
Several students who had been miserably suppressed after attempting arguments like I trained my intellect by playing chess, not fooling around or I came here to learn magic, so I wont do chores for the dormitory also swallowed nervously while watching the conversation.
Wardanaz is the type whod flick even a dragon on the forehead!
But the dragon stone that definitely wasnt in my reagent pouch until yesterday is suddenly there today. And coincidentally, theres one dragon in the common room who has mentioned dragon stones before. Now then, who could the culprit be?
Hehe. Theres one thing Lee Han is missing.
What am I missing? Tell me.
As Gonadaltes said, and as Lee Han also said, at Einroguard youre innocent without evidence! If you werent caught in the act, no matter how suspicious Jowrin might be, shes innocent!
Jowrin proudly brought up Einroguards rules.
This was exactly what the young dragon had been counting on.
Einroguards proud school rule guaranteed students freedom unless there was solid evidence or they were caught in the act.
It was one of the two great freedoms supporting Einroguard, guaranteed alongside the Skeleton Principals freedom to torment students.
Indeed.
Hehe. Jowrin is clever. Now then, Lee Han! What happened with the rosewood?
Spreading her wings wide again with a sense of victory, Jowrin shouted.
Youre grounded from now on.
Lee Han spoke in a cold voice and turned around sharply.
Huh, huuuh?
Jowrin was flustered.
The logic was perfect though??!
Why!? Lee Han! According to Einroguards rules
Y-Your Majesty. Thats it is an Einroguard rule, but theres one thing youre missing.
What did Jowrin miss!?
Jowrin was on the verge of tears. The students hesitantly said.
He can just ignore it
Einroguard students didnt follow rules well in the first place.
Only then realizing the flaw in her logic, Jowrin belatedly called out to Lee Han.
Lee Han! Lee Han! Jowrin was wrong!
However, Lee Han had already gone up the stairs. Gainando shook his head.
This is bad. Its level 5 anger.
Level 5 anger. This is really bad
Though she didnt know what level 5 anger was exactly, Jowrin could tell it wasnt good.
Servant! What should Jowrin do? How can she make Lee Hans anger subside?
Uh well
Gainando was flustered.
If he knew that, he wouldnt be constantly groveling and begging.
I think theres nothing but to think youre dead and just beg
Lee Han! Jowrin was wrong!
Following the experts advice, Jowrin kept shouting up the stairs.
Creak-
The sound of a private room door opening came from above.
The young dragons face brightened.
Servant! Lee Han came out!
No way. Hes forgiving her just for begging this little!?
Gainando felt unfairly treated for no reason.
Does he give special treatment because shes really a dragon!?
However, Lee Han didnt come down the stairs. Instead, another creature crawled down sluggishly.
It was the baby basilisk.
-Master kicked me out to live with Your Majesty waaah!!!
Uwaaaah!
The two young rare creatures wailed so loudly the common room shook.
