Well then, Im off.Since both of Lee Hans hands were occupied, he had no choice but to wave the hand holding the hamster cage as a greeting.
The hamster inside let out angry squeaking sounds.
Wait wait. Wardanaz!
Giselle called out to Lee Han, looking unusually flustered.
Arent you going to whip these idiots here!?
Thats too harsh.
The White Tiger Tower students became dejected.
Even if their average grades were lower than the Blue Dragon Tower students
Thats too harsh!
The Blue Dragon Tower students flared up.
Even if they were lacking, wasnt that too harsh?
?
??
Students from both towers exchanged bewildered looks.
Then they belatedly realized.
Ah.
I wasnt talking about you guys
Moradi.
Giselle, who had been frowning while trying to explain to the Blue Dragon Tower idiots, paused at Lee Hans words.
Surprisingly, Wardanaz was smiling gently.
I told you there were things more important than exams, didnt I?
Uh yeah.
Giselle was completely overwhelmed by this side of her friend shed never seen before. It was true that when someone was too shocked, they couldnt react at all.
Thinking about it, I think I pushed you all too hard. Forcefully pushing isnt always the answer. You all have your own paths too.
Not just Giselle, but the other students froze one by one.
As if a basilisk had used its petrifying gaze, none of them could move.
Whether his friends fell into a petrified state or not, Lee Han spoke kindly.
Dont overdo it, everyone. Well then, Ill be going.
Even after Lee Han disappeared, his friends couldnt recover immediately. Only after several minutes had passed did someone shout.
Wardanaz is broken!!!!!!!
***
Thank you, Professor Willow Tree.
What are you thanking me for, young boy. I should be the one thanking you.
Professor Willow Tree chuckled and held out a paper. On the paper decorated with Imperial Gardener Club emblems at each corner, the schedule of an auction held by the club was densely written.
And among the auction items, the mandragon that Lee Han had raised was proudly listed.
Originally, this mandragon was a semester assignment for the A Mages Life with Plants lecture, to be raised until final exams and submitted.
But due to the actions of a certain mischievous dragon and basilisk
-
The baby basilisk became dejected.
This wasnt its fault!
Lee Hans mandragon had already fully grown by midterm exams.
It had grown so well that Professor Willow Tree had recommended submitting it to the Imperial Gardener Club auction he belonged to.
If this sells, Ill buy you and His Majesty presents.
-!
The baby basilisks tail wagged with joy.
Here. This is an invitation. Since its held during vacation, you can participate directly.
The Imperial Gardener Club wasnt something just anyone could join. It was an honorable club that only gardeners who had achieved outstanding accomplishments could join.
In other words, the fact that the mandragon Lee Han submitted was listed in the clubs internal auction and he could participate meant that Lee Han had also been granted permission to join this club.
Perhaps this was a more valuable reward than the gold coins hed earn from selling the mandragon.
And young boy, theres something you mustnt forget
The Imperial Gardener Club Journal. Is that correct?
Thats right!
Professor Willow Tree moved his bark face and chuckled merrily.
Conversing with an outstanding student made the tree himself happy too.
The professor took out a small booklet. It was a booklet with Imperial Gardener Club Journal written on the cover.
Dont forget to get this. With just this one thing, you can share information about plants throughout the entire Empire.
Yes. I was definitely planning to secure the Imperial Gardener Club Journal, which allows sharing information about what plants are trending where, what events cause price fluctuations, and who you can get good plants from.
Yes, well. Its good that you know so well.
He knew so much more than expected that it was startling.
From next semester, well meet as fellow gardeners within the club. But dont get too absorbed in plants. The other professors will resent me.
Mages who didnt know much about plants couldnt understand, but there was nothing as charming and addictive as plants.
Professor Willow Tree knew several people who had become so absorbed in the magic of collecting and raising plants that they couldnt escape.
If Wardanaz became absorbed in the joy of raising mandragons and neglected other lectures, how disappointed would the Einroguard professors be?
Ill keep that in mind. And even if I become absorbed in other things, the professors wont have reason to resent Professor Willow Tree. It wont be because of plants, but because Ive changed my thinking.
Changed your thinking?
Professor Willow Tree was puzzled by the years top students words.
From now on, I wont be so obsessed with exams. Whats so important about other peoples evaluations on the path of magic?
Hmm. Usually those words come from young ones whove failed but if its you saying it, young boy, it should be fine.
Originally, words like only you need to know the magical path you walk were usually grumbling sounds made by failed students in Einroguards punishment rooms, but such words sounded more dignified when spoken by the years top student.
Professor Willow Tree decided to trust the boy before him rather than worry needlessly.
So youre planning to just get by on this exam?
Yes.
I see. But whats that?
Professor Willow Tree, who noticed the thick report Lee Han was carrying, asked puzzledly.
Its a report I submitted for the Ancient Artifacts and the Tragic History of Summoning Magic lecture.
Professor Willow Tree focused on submitted rather than will submit.
Turning his head to the side, he could see Professor Milays writing marking it as a perfect score.
Right. Keep it up!
Instead of scolding his disciple as an annoying little brat, the professor quietly praised him.
It was truly an attitude only a dignified professor could show.
***
What nonsense are you talking?
Professor Thunderstep, sitting in a cabin chair eating chicken noodle soup, looked at his disciple like he was looking at a madman.
Not being so obsessed with exams from now on.
That was like a dwarf reflecting on mining up to today and vowing to plant trees for the rest of his life.
Just as dragons fly around and ghouls crave flesh, Wardanaz had to be crazy about magic.
Ive reflected and decided to change.
No it doesnt seem like something to reflect on or change
Professor Thunderstep checked the golden potion Lee Han had submitted with a reuctant expression.
Annoyingly, there wasnt the slightest error. It was a perfect potion, unbelievable for a mere 2nd-year student to have made.
A guy who makes potions like this saying he wont be obsessed with exams.
Are you perhaps planning to mock Einroguards students in some new way in the future?
What a terrifying guy. To think he could overwhelm other mages like that.
But now that I think about it, you made poison for me, Professor.
Cough, cough cough.
The dwarf professor, who had been slurping noodles through his beard, coughed and wheezed.
Wh what If youre talking about Arkans Eternal Severance, I had no choice. The Principals projection told me to keep it secret, so what was I supposed to do?
Hmm.
Lee Han stared intently at Professor Thunderstep.
Under that gaze, the professor became anxious, wondering if he shouldnt have asked his disciple to make him a snack.
Throughout history, when examining the causes of alchemists deaths, there were surprisingly many alchemists who had been poisoned by their disciples.
This spicy broth was quite suitable food for hiding poison.
Should I handle the remaining work?
No. Since Im already here, I should finish everything before leaving. I need to hurry and finish the exam so I can help the Principal too.
No, no. How long has it been since you recovered, and youre already overexerting yourself? I can just have Professor Bendozol do it, so you rest more!
Professor Thunderstep, who had suddenly become a caring and loving professor, stopped Lee Han from getting up.
When his disciple sat back down, Professor Thunderstep cautiously asked.
Arent you curious about how the potion you just submitted turned out?
At that question, Lee Han let out a light sigh.
Then he spoke as if frustrated.
Professor. I already told you. I said I wouldnt be so obsessed with exams anymore.
What is this guy babbling about after coming here first and getting a perfect score
Professor Thunderstep cursed his top student inwardly.
Somehow he seemed to have become even more insufferable.
***
Lee Han finished his exams quickly with a much more relaxed mind than usual.
Classes like Staff Materials and Magic Amplification (Professor Verdus had disappeared, so Senior Yukveltire was evaluating in his place) and Delightfully Maddening Divination Magics, which had essentially been completed before the final exams, didnt require much attention.
Of course, he couldnt completely ignore them. Even though the exams were finished, the lectures remained.
I know. He disappeared.
You knew?
Lee Han was slightly surprised that Yukveltire knew about the Insane Doppelgangers ascension.
You even erected a memorial, didnt you?
Ah. Senior Direte ordered that, right?
What? No
As expected, Senior Direte is truly considerate.
What do you
Yukveltire tried to point out her juniors absurd words, but following the tradition of the Divination Magic Guild, Lee Han ignored his opponent and said what he wanted to say.
More importantly, Senior. I heard you know a lot about miniature worlds.
Im not an expert, but to some extent
Have you ever heard of a crown-shaped miniature world magic that looks like this? I happened to use it recently, but the restrictions are more troublesome than I thought. If there are any related magic books, Id appreciate a recommendation. I want to read them during vacation.
At her juniors words, Yukveltire immediately realized what magic he was talking about.
He must be referring to that faint crown that had been flickering above his head when they were exploring the underground mine area last time.
She hadnt said anything for fear of interfering unnecessarily and ruining the magic, but it seemed her junior had noticed it himself
You used it?
Yes? Yes.
How!?
Ah. It was by chance, but there was a clue in what Senior Direte said. She said the condition was being virtuous and devoted, and it was similar.
You talked to Direte about it!?!?
Yukveltire was even more shocked. She was so shocked that she completely overlooked pointing out that her junior had used a miniature world.
I was so interested in it though?
Why did the two of them talk about it, leaving only her out?
Of course, the answer was that she had only thought about it inwardly and hadnt spoken to Direte, but it wasnt easy for Yukveltire to realize that.
Didnt you hear?
No.
Well, you seniors have more important magic to worry about, so thats probably why.
Lee Hans consolation didnt really resonate with Yukveltire.
Did I do something wrong to Direte?
Dont you do that every day? Why are you being so dramatic now?
Its not that bad.
It is that bad.
Her junior was cold. Mentally cornered, Yukveltire decided to assume her junior was right.
Could you go to Direte and tell her to stop her irrational anger?
At those words that could create anger even where none existed, Lee Han firmly refused.
No. You do it yourself, Senior. Anyway, Ive finished the Staff Materials and Magic Amplification lecture, so Ill be going now.
Wait!
At the sight of her junior leaving so coldly, Yukveltire unknowingly slammed her fist on the table.
It was the first time she felt such strong anger toward her schools academic culture.
What exactly was wrong with the Divination Magic Guild that it had become like this?
