Chapter 902

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The exam they were taking this time was a test to confirm their mastery of the magic they had learned previously: Lower Body Time Extension, Lower Time Deceleration, and Lower Time Acceleration.

Lower Body Time Extension was a 2nd Circle magic that had the effect of extending the length of time an individual perceived.

Though not flashy, it was an essential foundational magic in time magic, which had high difficulty and required extensive calculations.

Lower Time Deceleration and Lower Time Acceleration were 3rd Circle magic cast directly on objects.

Since time magic cast on living beings had an already difficult level that jumped significantly higher, practicing on inanimate objects first was essential.

Please check it, Professor.

And Lee Han succeeded cleanly in all three.

It was stable casting completely different from the unstable appearance he had shown last time.

Professor Garcia asked while hiding his displeasure.

Didnt you say it was difficult last time, Student Lee Han?

Thats why I practiced.

I see

Professor Garcia suddenly remembered his school days.

He had thought pathetically of friends who were jealous of his magical abilities, but looking back now, it seemed he bore a tiny bit of responsibility too.

Did I look like this too?

Professor?

Ah. Its nothing. Student Lee Han. Perfect. I dont know why you complained so much about it being difficult last time when you can do this well

I really thought it was difficult last time.

But it works well when you practice, right?

Yes.

Did you perhaps realize something from the conversation we just had?

The world of magic is vast and extensive, so I must never act arrogantly?

Not that Never mind. Forget it.

Professor Garcia gave up on trying to tell his disciple to have some confidence.

Anyway, this kind of thing was personality, so it was hard to change quickly. Professor Garcia suddenly imagined his disciple becoming a professor later and still complaining that new magic is difficult.

In any case, its a perfect score. You worked hard.

Thank you, Professor.

Wait. Then Professor Lightningstep must still be busy.

Professor Garcia, checking the time, realized his mistake.

Come to think of it, this was the time when Professor Lightningstep was teaching students.

Then Ill wait for a moment. Oh. Is there any advice you could give me, Professor? You seem like youd have a lot of experience with this kind of thing.

At his disciples question, Professor Garcia stopped abruptly with his back turned.

What do you mean, Student Lee Han? A lot of experience? Are you perhaps claiming that Ive illegally brought large rare creatures to Einroguard to raise them???

Huh? No Have you done that?

Lee Han was slightly flustered.

He couldnt understand why Professor Garcia was suddenly looking so serious.

Of course not! Ha, haha. It was a joke. Student Lee Han. A joke!

Ah. I see. It was a difficult joke, so I couldnt understand it. The experience I mentioned was about your experience counseling students, Professor.

Ah That experience?

Professor Garcias voice rose a notch and his stiff expression relaxed. The troll hybrid professor coughed and spoke humbly.

Other professors would have much more of that.

Who?

Student Lee Han. Asking about such things one by one is impolite.

Since he couldnt think of any other professors himself, Professor Garcia pressed with authority.

Lee Han thought to himself.

Who exactly are these professors? Are they retired?

Still Im happy that Student Lee Han relies on me. Though Im lacking, let me try to squeeze out some wisdom.

Professor Garcia rummaged through the bookshelf and pulled out an old book.

Oops.

The professor muttered to himself I forgot to erase the cover and waved his staff. Then the words Unbreakable One Breeding Diary faintly disappeared.

Lets see. When being stubborn, when being stubborn

What kind of book is it?

A record book written by a mage who raised large rare creatures, which I obtained long ago.

There are such books? Could I perhaps borrow it too?

Its still too difficult for Student Lee Han! Ill interpret only the necessary parts for you.

Is it a book about ancient evil creatures?

Professor Garcia flipped through the book and let out a small exclamation of ah.

Obedience potion. They tried this approach too.

Theres such a thing as an obedience potion?

Lee Han was intrigued.

Would that work on Gainando too?

It wasnt very effective. Originally, this type of potion is practically meaningless against creatures with strong resistance.

I see.

Corporal punishment using electric shock

That seems too cruel.

Lee Han showed reluctance.

Perhaps because it was a book about ancient evil creatures, the disciplinary methods were too cruel.

How could he shock Jowurin with lightning?

And considering resistance, it probably wouldnt work well anyway.

At his disciples words, Professor Garcia suddenly started coughing.

Cough, cough! Im not telling you to do this. Student Lee Han. Its just recorded here. The mage who wrote this book also greatly regretted it, as written here. He was furious because the large rare creature ate his research.

Oh my. But Prince Jowurin doesnt do such things.

At the somewhat boastful tone, Professor Garcia felt slightly irritated.

So Prince Jowurin has a good personality and the Unbreakable One has a bad personality?

Hmph. Its just a species difference. If the Unbreakable One had been a dragon, it would have been much more docile.

Lets move on to the next. Cane

Hitting over scales probably wouldnt cause much damage.

They used a special cane that could inflict physical pain on large creatures. Of course, this wasnt very effective either.

Professor Garcia went on to mention several more methods after that.

Electric shock, cane, meal prohibition, kneeling and standing, copying old texts for character cultivation, and so on.

How about it?

They all seem rather poor.

Lee Han spoke honestly.

Among these methods, there werent many that seemed like they would work on Jowurin.

However, Professor Garcia nodded as if he thought the same.

Thats right. Student Lee Han. While reading the methods here, I thought that each of these methods was ineffective. But this large rare creature eventually came to understand the mages will. I think the reason was trust.

!

Retracing past memories, Professor Garcia now realized what he had missed back then.

At the time, he was so frantic and struggling that he only resented his counterpart, but eventually the Unbreakable One matured and came to understand Professor Garcias intentions.

Even though the Unbreakable One cold have easily escaped to other places.

The Unbreakable One must have felt the trust Professor Garcia sent to it, and also sent trust to Professor Garcia in return.

Causing trouble and problems for each other was ultimately trivial when looking back. As long as there was trust, such things were bound to be corrected.

Are you perhaps dissatisfied because its not a magical solution, Student Lee Han?

When Lee Han remained silent, Professor Garcia asked cautiously. However, the magic-obsessed disciple slowly shook his head.

No. I think youre right, Professor. I think I didnt trust His Majesty enough.

Its not entirely Student Lee Hans fault. Who would have known hed bring out dragon stones like that.

Exactly! I told him not to do that

Still, Student Lee Han is lucky. His Majesty Jowurin didnt devour all of Student Lee Hans research and destroy his personal room.

His Majesty Jowurin isnt a slime, so why would he do such a thing? His Majesty Jowurin is so intelligent.

Professor Garcias fist clenched tightly for a moment before relaxing.

When I go back, I should apologize to His Majesty for getting angry. I should trust his word that he wont do it again.

So are we going to take the exam together now?

No? Confinement is confinement. Im going to keep him confined for the rest of this week.

Professor Garcia was honestly impressed by such an unwavering answer.

Who could be so consistent in front of a dragon?

***

Thank you, Professor!

You all worked hard too. Go rest no, go study for the next exam.

The first-year students cursed inwardly at Professor Lightningsteps words of encouragement.

Maybe that original professor would have been better. Who was it? Ben Benderjul? Professor Benderjul.

I used to respect him because he was often in the Empire newspapers as an adventurer, but its completely a scam!

At his friends curses, Alhidel of the Penguerin family quietly said.

We dont even know who Professor Benderjul is. Professor Lightningsteps teaching may be harsh, but it might be inevitable to keep up with Einroguards standards. Complaining is fine, but after that, lets all work hard together.

The students felt ashamed at the words of their friend who never put down his books despite being the towers top student.

If it had been someone who usually acted arrogantly, they would have immediately swung their staffs, but Alhidel had never been like that.

He was truly a respectable friend.

Penguerin. Sometimes I think you should go to the Phoenix Tower.

I heard rumors before that Penguerin was arrogant, but I dont know what bastard spread those false rumors. Look at him.

Even at his friends praise, Alhidel shook his head.

No. The rumors were right. I was an arrogant and conceited mage.

This guy! How can you be so honorable?

Blue worms. Move aside.

At the words spat out by White Tiger Tower students from behind, the Blue Dragon Tower students faces hardened.

How dare you?

How dare what? Move aside.

Fine. Well move aside. But first, try to endure this laughter curse magic

Hey! Ulgan! Ulgans coming!!

When one of the group whispered, the White Tiger Tower students faces turned pale.

Despite being friends from the same tower, they clearly showed signs of fear.

You guys! Youre not fighting, are you?!

When the large friend who ran from afar shouted loudly, the White Tiger Tower students frantically denied it.

Wh, what are you talking about, Ulgan. Us fighting? We didnt fight. Right?

Of of course. We didnt fight.

Surprisingly, the Blue Dragon Tower students also agreed. They knew well the danger of Ulgan standing before them.

-Stop! Stop fighting!

-Get lost, Ulgan! Either fight with your tower guys or get lost!

-Ulgan! Are you going to just stand there after hearing that! Help us!

-I said stop fighting! Please stop! I told you to stop!!!

-Gack! Ugh!

-Argh! Guh!

The students who had been severely beaten as punishment for starting a fight in front of Ulgan, who hated fighting, learned a painful lesson.

Ah, we shouldnt provoke someone who hates fighting!

Thats a relief. I thought you guys were fighting.

Ha, haha.

Hahaha.

After an awkward round of laughter, Ulgan spoke as if remembering something.

Oh right. Eandurude over there is distributing food, so go quickly and get some.

What? Again?! Where the hell is all this food coming from? Does only the Turtle Tower have some warehouse they discovered?

I heard a Blue Dragon Tower senior gave it?

No way. What crazy senior gives food to juniors who arent even from their tower?

The students were puzzled but ran to get in line anyway.

First years were always hungry, and if you got to the back of the line for these distributions, there would be nothing left.

Hello, everyone.

Priest Karle. Please dont come close.

Why, why are you saying that?

Because youll steal if you come close!

Such rude words! What did I do wrong

Like beaver beastmen or penguin beastmen, squirrel beastmen could manipulate peoples guilt with just their expressions.

The White Tiger Tower students felt guilty as if they had done something wrong, even after being robbed several times.

I also received this basket for you. Here.

Th, thank you

Not at all. Its natural joy as a priest.

Inside the food basket, a paper magic beetle quietly flapped its wings.

Karle smiled at the sight.

Finally, he would be able to unlock the White Tiger Tower students storage locks.
