Episode 033
“Do you know Professor Thunderstruck by any chance?”
“How did know? “I am Lightning Walk, the aunt of Thunder Walk.”
‘no. Was she really a relative?’
I thought there was no way all dwarves could be related just because they looked similar, but they were really relatives.
“Are you acquainted with Thunderwalker?”
As the dwarf asked while pushing up his pilot glasses, Lee Han instinctively sensed something ominous.
Having your name and face remembered by a professor was generally not a very good thing, whether on Earth or here.
If I were to be taken to graduate school like on Earth…
“I don’t know…”
“Wardanaz is Professor Thunderwalker’s best disciple!”
“that’s right! Wardanaz is recognized by Professor Thunderwalk! “You can even go to his cabin!”
“……”
Lee Han looked back.
The Blue Dragon Tower friends narrowed their eyes at Lee Han with an expression that said they had made it.
Lee Han, who was from the same tower and was their leader, seemed unbearably proud.
‘They’re such helpless immature bastards!’
Lee Han cursed inwardly. Without knowing Lee Han’s true feelings, the Blue Dragon Tower students were just proud.
“also! “If you are the best disciple with those thunderous steps, you can also say that he is my best disciple.”
“Not even a top disciple…”
“Besides, you got permission to enter his cabin. He must have really been recognized.”
“…yes. “I am actually like that.”
Lee Han gave up and admitted it.
Since it was like this, I just wanted to accept it and leave a good impression on the professor.
* * *
Professor Lightning Step got off the ride and stood in front of the students.
And then he shouted in a loud, powerful voice.
“Now, pay attention!”
“Hey, professor. “Those who are fainting…”
“Leave it alone! “You’ll wake up soon!”
Professor Lightning Walk shouted angrily. He said it was bullshit from a medical standpoint, but no student could refute it.
“I am the professor who will be teaching you this semester, Lightning Walk Choi Dar. The professor who was supposed to teach you was Professor Bendozol, but he went looking for the unicorn and went missing. So I was recruited in a hurry.”
‘I don’t know why everyone isn’t surprised when they say they went looking for a unicorn and went missing.’
The students were more surprised by the name of Lightning Walk than by Professor Bendozol, who went missing while looking for a unicorn.
“The famous explorer’s lightning stride?”
“The lightning walk that subdued the Behemoth and turned it into a mount?!”
“You’re the one who explored the spirit crater that no one has ever set foot in?!”
‘hmm. ‘I thought you read something other than the imperial economy in the newspaper.’
Lee Han felt left out because he could not participate in the conversation.
From what I heard, it seemed like he was a pretty famous explorer.
Some students looked at Lightning Walk with eyes of envy and respect.
“ruler! “Is there anyone who can guess why I showed up on a thunderbird today?”
“!”
thunderbird.
It was a monster so famous that even Lee Han had heard of it.
A body so large you wouldn’t think of it as a bird, with fast and violent movements. And even the special ability to control thunderstorms and gusts of wind.
It was a nightmare monster for anyone who flew in the sky or climbed up and down high mountain ranges.
The thought of such a monster attacking me sent a chill down my spine.
‘This school really needs to be inspected by the Empire.’
While Lee Han was grumbling internally, another student raised his hand.
“Is your goal this semester to ride that Thunderbird? So, to help us get used to it…”
“Wrong! Hahahaha! You’re talking nonsense. “If you want to ride the Thunderbird, even if you practice for over 10 years, it won’t be enough!”
Lightning walked burst into laughter as if it was funny. The student who spoke was embarrassed and retreated.
‘ah. Are there few people here who have taken alchemy classes?’
Come to think of it, the alchemy class was an optional subject.
In comparison, vehicle training class is a required subject.
In other words, there are many more students here who do not know the lecture style of Professor Dwarf.
“Did you have to take the fastest ride because you came from a long way?”
“If I had to ride the fastest vehicle, it would be Sleipnir. Wrong. hmm. Wodanaz! “You tell me.”
“……”
He really didn’t want to attract attention, but the dwarf professors wouldn’t leave Lee Han alone.
Lee Han managed his expression and answered.
“Aren’t you here to help us increase our ability to deal with dangerous monsters like the Thunderbird?”
At Lee Han’s answer, several students burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.
The riding training class is a class where you ride a beautiful and cute horse around the area, not a <surviving from monsters> class.
Why on earth do you train like that…
“That’s correct! After all, there is a reason to like thunder!”
‘Holy shit.’

I couldn’t believe it, but it was actually true.
Lee Han shook his head.
Anyway, if you become close friends with the thunder-walking professor, you will inevitably meet the lightning-walking professor a lot, but now that things are going like this, the only answer is to get a better look.
It’s dangerous to get attention from a professor, but it’s even more dangerous to get hate from a professor.
Love is better…
“Gyo, professor? “Wasn’t it a horse riding class?”
“Right… That’s right. Why do we have to train ourselves to avoid thunderbirds?”
Some students asked in bewilderment if they had not yet fully grasped the situation.
Why not evacuate the Thunderbird on horseback?
“What if I meet a thunderbird while riding a horse? “It’s natural training!”
Lightning Go got angry as if he was saying something ridiculous. The students who asked the question were a bit shocked.
‘Thunderbirds are rare monsters found only in the high skies or mountain ranges…’
Lee Han thought so in his mind, but did not say it out loud.
I had to be careful about saying the right things in front of the professor.
“But don’t worry. Because you guys will ride the horse you like so much. Wardanaz. Come forward. “I need you to help me with my class.”
Lee Han came forward, receiving looks of awe and jealousy.
Despite his awe, Lee Han wanted to beat up the students who were giving him jealous looks.
‘These guys who don’t know other people’s speed…’
“Horses are the most basic vehicle seen in the empire. A person who doesn’t know how to ride this thing should be considered unqualified to travel. If he wants to ride a more difficult mount, he must at least learn how to ride a horse well.”
At the words of the lightning-walking professor, quite a few students looked bored.
Because there were more students here who knew how to ride a horse than those who did not.
Since we had all traveled around on horseback for different reasons, I was thinking, ‘Is there anything new to learn?’
However, Professor Lightning Step was not angry at that sight.
Instead, he smiled kindly.
Creepy!
‘this…’
Lee Han felt ominous in that smile.
‘This isn’t just a horse riding class!’
It was clear that this was not an ordinary horseback riding class.
“ruler. Go to the stables!”
The stables located near the main building were clean and spacious.
As the professor approached the stable, which looked like a huge three-story warehouse, the door opened as if it were alive.
‘There’s a spell on it.’
Lee Han could feel the magical energy hanging over the stable.
Well, since you’re not just raising ordinary horses, they’ll need to be protected by magic.
“Wow!”
“oh…!”
Exclamations came out from everywhere.
The sight of horses hanging out on both sides of the stable was enough to make young students amazed.
Horses with various fur colors such as white, black, brown, and gold were, at first glance, course horses with good pedigrees.
Can you ride a horse like this?
It was natural for the students’ eyes to brighten.
But Lee Han was not fooled. I whispered to Yoner next to me.
“be careful.”
“what??”
“Think of an alchemy class. Professor Lightning Walk is a blood relative of Professor Thunder Walk. “Do you think there won’t be any traps?”
“…!”
Yoner hastily nodded with an expression of realization.
Professor Lightning Walk stroked his beard and smiled mischievously. And then he said to Lee Han.
“As you are the best student who will help me with my classes from now on, I will give you the authority to choose the horse first.”
From behind, sounds of jealousy and jealousy could be heard.
Even if I could tolerate other favorites, I couldn’t tolerate choosing my horse first.
Once you choose that horse, it will be Lee Han’s partner for a semester. Wouldn’t that mean you’ll be depriving yourself of the best horse?
‘You’re probably thinking… ‘You idiots.’
Lee Han remembered the smile that flashed on the lips of the lightning-walking professor.
“it’s okay. I’ll choose later, so I’ll give it up to other students. “I don’t think it’s fair for me to pick first.”
“Wardanaz…!”
“That guy like you!”
Fellow top students were impressed.
Other people’s eyes are shining right now because they want to choose what to say first, but you give in like that.
It was an honor that only true nobles could show.
“Then what should we do?”
“Let’s each decide on an order at the tower and then come out one by one to make a choice. “If they overlap, we draw lots again.”
“good.”
The students divided themselves and began to line up.
Blue Dragon Tower students also gathered and drew lots to decide the order. The first one to catch was Gainando.
“yes!”
Gaynando was happy.
I felt like I was being compensated for the bad luck of being captured by the Thunderbird earlier.
The Blue Dragon Tower students were blatantly disappointed.
“Why is it Gainando?”
“I should have let Wardanaz take it first.”
“joy. Losers talk.”
Gaynando ignored his friends’ words. Ihan became curious and asked Yoner.
“Does Gainando know how to speak?”
“Well… well. “I don’t think you really know.”
Gainando walked forward with great strides and chose the largest and meanest-looking white horse.
Students from other towers looked at Gai Nando in bewilderment.
Just because a horse is big doesn’t mean it’s good.
Besides, considering that I had to tame him and become friends with him, I shouldn’t have chosen a horse that seemed so mean-spirited.
If you are not careful, problems may arise while riding…
puck!
“100 million!”
Sigh!
“evil!!”
Hehe!
“Aaaah!”
“?!”
All the students gathered were surprised.
Even though Gainando fell backwards after being headbutted by a horse, all the other students were also hit or stabbed one by one.
I mean…
Why are you so fierce?
Purr purr!
Purr! Phew! Phew!!
The horses in the stable that had been waiting quietly began to howl at the same time.
He glares fiercely at the students as if they were enemies.
It was the moment when the hidden wildness exploded.
“Hahahahahahaha! I said it. I need to learn how to ride a horse well. Your first task is not horseback riding. Get to know the horses here. “Did you really think I would let newbies like you choose what to say!”
“What…what…”
“too bad…!”
Among the students who did not attend the alchemy class, there were some who cried out of disappointment. But Lightning Walk did not stop laughing.
“If you take care of your horses morning and evening, one of them who is kind may open his heart. That’s your goal. Just one! “Get to know even just one animal!”
“……”
‘That’s definitely not an ordinary horse.’
Lee Han was sure.
No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t a common statement.
What in the world can say such shit…
widely-
While Lee Han was wondering which of the horses here would be easiest to become friends with, the lightning-walking professor’s pot-lid-like hand came up on his shoulder.
“?”
“really. Wardanaz. “I will choose the words for you.”
“……”
Does it really have to be that way?
