The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 56
Only Krnovel
“What is that?”
“There is a deep story behind it.”
There couldn’t be just one grocery store. There were four. I went to four grocery stores of a reasonable size that would be located in the academy, but I couldn’t find any seaweed.
I had no choice but to jump directly into the sea. I thought the water might still be cold, but it was just the right temperature.
It was okay to pick up what had been washed up by the waves, but I couldn’t bear it when I saw the ocean. In the end, I took off my clothes and went into the ocean.
Below, I brought some seaweed and luckily, I caught an abalone. It’s so big that I’m sure it’ll taste good.
As I approached him, filling a bucket with seawater and adding seaweed and abalone, the professor looked suspicious.
He looked at the bucket and made a strange face.
“Isn’t that seaweed? What are you going to do with this? Are you going to strangle the kids with it?”
“yes.”
“… … you man do not do that.”
I accepted the joke with a giggle. Then, his face hardened and he began to try to dissuade me.
It was an excessive reaction to come across as simply accepting a joke. I felt something on the edge of absurdity and disappointment.
It’s a slow evening. There’s no need to do it for a whole night and two days. I saw first-year students who hadn’t eaten dinner.
“now. Nothing much. It’s a simple matter of surviving in the mountains. The only belongings I carry are an emergency kit and weapons. “If anything happens, just fire a signal.”
The explanation is very simple. The students’ faces were filled with deep sorrow. The teaching assistants who had to stay up all night with them for their safety also had extremely broken faces.
“That’s all for now. See you tomorrow at two.”
I made eye contact with Winter, who was looking at me with trembling eyes. Why are you there? There is such a situation. After having such a detailed conversation with our eyes, we parted ways at the words of the professor.
I could feel Berenice’s curious gaze next to Winter, as well as the gaze of the maroon twins, who were smiling meaningfully.
“You must be hungry.”
Having to spend three meals in the mountains. It was definitely not an easy task. The seemingly simple test had quite a sophisticated intention hidden inside.
The Faculty of Magic, Faculty of Divinity, and Faculty of Alchemy were originally weak, so they staggered even after only eating a few meals.
Is the combat department okay? no. Those guys are worse. The amount of calories needed to maintain that body is enormous. It was no different from a train that guzzled gas.
In the former case, it’s okay to just starve. But the latter doesn’t have that option. They will hunt no matter what. Because the fuel economy isn’t something that fruit or something can afford.
It wasn’t wrong to say that the cost of food in the combat college dormitory was more than the cost of all the dormitories combined.
“Okay. Let’s go too.”
The professor stood up after checking on the scattered first-year students led by teaching assistants. I quickly made up my seat.
That’s true for first-year students. To be honest, we, including teaching assistants and professors, are no different from just a small group of campers.
The place the professor guided us to was literally a campsite. It was secretive, and it was a rare flat place in the mountains. It was a place where two people could spend time comfortably.
It was somewhat tidy and showed signs of having been cut and trimmed over a long period of time. It was clear that the place had been used for several years. There was even a tent.
“Is there a valley nearby?”
“I recognized it right away. This is a famous place. “There’s less wind, so it’s less cold, and there’s a valley not far away, so there’s plenty of drinking water.”
The professor spoke proudly.
Well, it looks like he’s a villain who makes the students suffer and is doing well himself, but this time I’m in the position of a villain, so I’ll just stay quiet.
“Can I light a fire?”
“Of course we should. Fire is the most effective means of driving away wild animals and provides the important thing of warmth.”
I put down my burden at the professor’s words. A tent that is sufficiently camouflaged to avoid detection. Inside, the luggage was piled up one by one.
The inside of the tent was wider than I thought, as it was a place where the inside was expanded by digging into the mountain. Deep inside, there was firewood that had been prepared at some unknown time, neatly arranged.
Ah, assistants. Come on. Realizing at once where the labor force came from, I gathered some firewood and left the tent in a somewhat solemn manner.
“Let’s eat dinner right away. If you’re hungry, you can go hunting.”
“I have prepared.”
“… … The preparation is needlessly thorough.”
I clicked my tongue as if it was a waste. I could sense the intention to send them hunting as much as possible. However, it is not easy for me who came to suck honey.
It’s a result of my obsession with eating Korean food. Once I eat it, I’ll fill up on regular calorie bars from then on.
Considering the size of a calorie bar, which contains the equivalent of a day’s worth of calories for an adult man, it can easily be called a magic tool.
The taste was so sweet that it made my tongue tingle, but since I didn’t care about taste that much in the first place, I didn’t find anything this useful.
“Wouldn’t a professor like that also burn calories with a calorie bar?”
“What? You too?”
“yes. Just eat dinner. Everything else.”
The professor also became dumbfounded, as if he had the same thoughts. It was a time when I could realize that people’s thoughts are all the same.
Since I didn’t have a magic tool to start a fire, I reached out to the professor. Luckily, the professor had a magic tool to start a fire.
Kindling was placed in the center of the round stone floor and firewood was piled on top of it. The spark that was born thanks to the magic tool worked hard to grow in size.
“Let me get you some water.”
“While you’re at it, bring some water to drink.”
I obediently accepted the meal the professor handed me. I packed a meal for seaweed soup and headed to the valley.
There is no need to worry about the location. It is a place where you can hear the sound of running water. As you walk towards it, the sound of water naturally gets louder.
To avoid getting lost, I often tried to mark the trees, but many of them were already marked.
Thanks to that, I arrived at the valley comfortably and filled two buckets with water. I scooped up both hands with water, thinking I might as well drink some while I was here.
It was crystal clear and there was no floating debris. I thought I might get lost, but I decided to trust in the strength and resistance of my adaptive body.
“Ugh.”
The coolness that ran down my throat. It was a completely different feeling from the sea. I drank water one after another, feeling a refreshing sensation as if I had drunk alcohol.
As I was washing my face, I just raised my head when my eyes met with something. The bright eyes were filled with innocence, and the smooth, flowing curves were truly beautiful.
Filled with boundaries, it looked back at me as if it were a lie and made deep gaze for a long time.
“venison?”
Yes. It was a deer. Just a regular deer. Not a deer with any special color or appearance.
Since there are no horns on its head, it is definitely a female. Its ears keep pricking up. An extremely simple thought: animal-meat-protein.
It moved me by force. The speed of the blades resembled that of an assassin. I couldn’t help but stop as I was about to strike down the shovel.
Herbivores, who should be extremely alert, do not flinch when they see me suddenly appearing in their field of vision. I have heard of a deer that froze in the face of car lights.
Just as I was thinking that it was something similar, the guy came up to me very friendly and tapped me with his snout.
“Anaye… … .”
Something must have worked. Otherwise, this guy who would jump up in surprise or be on high alert would not be this friendly.
I decided that the effect was related to Anaye. Anaye’s nickname is Thunder Deer. I thought it was just a nickname, but it turns out it was actually related to a real deer.
“Go, you punk.”
Thanks to this, my excitement has cooled. I wasn’t hungry enough to kill a guy who really liked me. Above all, when I heard that it was related to Anaye, those feelings disappeared.
Even though I clicked my tongue and turned around, the guy followed me. When I glanced back, I saw a cute guy with his ears perked up.
“Go away. Human. Are you going to eat me?”
Even if I extend my hand, there is no sign of it avoiding it. I had a feeling that it was a little strong. It soon accepted my hand and was gently stroked.
Only after I slapped his butt hard did the guy startle and run away. After watching him for a while, I packed my lunch and returned to the tent.
“Are you lost? Why are you so slow?”
“Yes. What.”
He didn’t show any reaction to the blows that came flying at him as soon as he arrived. He handed me one lunch box and hung another on the campfire.
“professor.”
“why.”
“Does that smell like something?”
The professor made a puzzled face when I asked him a question quite seriously. Rather than playing around, he came up and smelled it.
“what. you. Are you spraying perfume? Well, it smells so sweet. No, this is something a little different. “Is it your body type?”
“hmm.”
Of course, I can’t feel the scent. It’s my body. The only person who has ever come close to my body is Winter. Most of them are covered in blood, but there’s no way Winter wouldn’t react.
There’s nothing particularly strange. Is it an effect on skills rather than the physical body? Was there deer meat in the dormitory menu?
“Why is that?”
“Just like that.”
“It’s bland. “Just try cooking.”
Now that I think about it, the princess really liked me. At the time, she thought it was just Duhane’s blood that influenced her.
No, isn’t that it again? Why does the deer react like that and bother me so much? I didn’t worry about what was going on and just started cooking.
“… … “What on earth are you making?”
The water in the pot began to boil. I cut a few strands of good quality seaweed and put them in.
The original recipe was to fry meat in oil. However, it was too much trouble to do it in earnest in the mountains, and the tools were poor. Originally, cooking was about competing with the taste of the ingredients.
I sprinkled some salt on it and crushed the garlic I brought with my hands. When I had put in about 6 cloves, the professor spoke to me.
“uh… … “Seaweed soup?”
“Why would you do something like that… … No. That aside, how many cloves of garlic are you putting in?”
The ninth clove of crushed garlic went into the talking bird. I felt sorry for the professor who was getting goosebumps, so I chopped the garlic.
As it bubbling, the seaweed soup gradually gained color. Accordingly, well-washed abalone was added.
“Would you like some?”
“It smells okay, but… … .”
The professor had a suspicious look on his face as he spoke out of politeness. I ate the soup with a spoon. The deep, rich flavor unique to seaweed soup.
Even though there was no sesame oil or meat, it was even more amazing. I quickly put some of it in the lid of the bowl. Soon, I swallowed the seaweed like I was sucking on noodles.
Although it was not tough, I did not get tired of it because of its solid texture. No, in this case, the fact that it’s been a while since I ate it probably plays a role.
I absorbed the seaweed soup in a state close to oblivion. The sight of it was so appetizing that even the professor soon pushed his doubts aside.
“Sure. It smells good.”
He took a handful and sniffed it. He soon responded positively enough to elevate the smell to a fragrance and drank the seaweed soup.
“Cook! Ugh. Kuu. Kkuluk! Kyaak! Kyaak! Thud!”
Soon, I was caught in a scary situation. It’s hard not to pay attention as the seaweed soup is spat out so harshly that it’s painful for the viewer.
After a long time of complaining, the professor looked at me with blank eyes.
“It’s so damn salty! Is this what you gave me to eat?! Why is it so spicy, man!”
And then he poured out even more passion. It’s salty. It comes from the sea, so it’s like this. It’s spicy. It’s only about 9 cloves of garlic.
Having seen quite a few cases of foreigners having trouble adapting to Korean food, I thought that the professor might be one of those people too.
