I’m Not Doing This With A Friend

Chapter 20

"Professor George. I'm here to submit my assignment."

"Come on in."

With Professor George's permission, Leen calmly opened the door and entered Professor George's lab.

While looking at the herbs, Professor George was wearing glasses that he didn't usually wear.

He looked tired, his appearance reminds me of a half-dead man.

Come to think of it, I saw bodies walking around before entering the lab, but I think they came out of this lab.

People who write as students and read as slaves to professors.

Leen thought naturally.

I shouldn't go for master's or doctoral programs later. Never.'

"Give it to me."

Professor George reached out and took half of the work I was holding and took some again.

Then on the spot, he skimmed through it.

Soon after, the professor turned away from Leen's assignment.

"I'm done grading it, so take it. Your group's grade is F."

He told me to take it and threw the assignment on the floor.

It was an act that meant bending down and pick it up to take it.

Leen looked down at the assignment lying on the floor and made eye contact with Professor George.

She swallowed tearful words and calmly opened her mouth.

"Why?"

Professor George quietly put down the glasses he was wearing on his desk with a thud sound.

"You don't know that, do you? You did something very interesting. It would have been better in terms of score to pull out herbs that spread on the side of the road."

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand."

Professor George's face crumpled.

Originally, he didn't have a very good impression, and it gives off a harsh atmosphere.

"What? You don't understand it, do you?"

"I deliberately selected only the herbs that are not common for this assignment. Unless it's a herb on the mountain, it was essential to enter the monster area, didn't the professor give it as a group assignment?"

"Yes, I did. But I told you to work on your assignment, I didn't say you could get help from a third party."

Third-party?

Indeed, I somehow entered the monster area with Carsion, but I dug out all the herbs with my own hands.

I even rejected Carsion's offer to magically pull out the herbs at once. To collect them without any damage to the herbs.

"I think there's been a misunderstanding, but I didn't get anyone else's help."

"So what's the explanation for that crazy level of information?"

"What?"

"Ranunculus on the third page."

Leen was surprised that Professor George remembered the details of the page.

I didn't expect you to read it properly because you only glanced at it for such a short time.

"The relieving effect of the herb that your group was able to discover in less than a week which was only revealed last week. Senior freshmen like you couldn't have known and written it down there's no way."

It was a fact that I knew this before.'

Professor George clicked his tongue as Leen stood silently in disbelief. He thought she was embarrassed to find out that she had lied.

"In fact, it's not the only one suspicious. Asphodel? and how did you get the herbs from Maroniena rasp? There are only herbs that no one would believe were collected by a senior 1st grader."

I grew up well there.'

Well, even if he was Professor George, it would have been a bit difficult to believe.

Those herbs were the kind of herbs that were difficult to find unless they were skilled, experienced herbalists.

After Leen realized that Professor George had a strange misunderstanding, she quickly thought of a solution.

She then picked up the assignments that were scattered on the floor.

Leen looked the professor in the eye.

"I'm not a nerd who just noticed the relieving effect of Ranunculus No, I didn't know that it was only discovered a while ago. It's a fact that I knew and took for granted since I was a child."

"It's a fact you knew?"

Professor George's eyebrows distorted deeper because he thought it was ridiculous.

Ranunculus was a medicinal herb that was classified as an ornamental flower.

(N: RANUNCULUS/ Bulbous buttercup-a flower used as medicine for skin diseases)

Taking such a flower in the first place and conducting an efficacy study was usually only a geek.

Just like myself.

Leen opened her mouth and spoke without paying attention to Professor George's crumpled expression.

"All the herbs I mentioned in this assignment were collected behind the academy. I have nothing more to say even if you keep questioning that. Cause, that's where I picked it up."

At Leen's words, Professor George became confused.

Because it was rare for a student to show confidence even after seeing his frowning face.

Come to think of it, the student in front of him has passed the intermediate transfer test, which was known to be difficult.

The student also got a score close to perfect.

But contrary to what he expected at first, Leen only slept every day during a class.

Even when she's awake, she doesn't listen and stares in the air with a blank face.

In that appearance, Professor George said his damn fellow faculty members must have leaked even test questions.

There was a bit of a weird side to it.

Leen knows something like a ghost when he mentions valuable information from time to time.

Even though it's clear that she doesn't know if what I said was valuable information or not.

At that moment, an assumption crossed Professor George's mind.

No way.

It's a fact that she already knows, so she didn't listen to it.'
