Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 101
Chapter 101 The
three gathered in front of the sandy beach again.
Now that I was shipwrecked on this island of hell, or the island of the Headmaster Skeleton, it was to think about what to do in the future.
Lee Han asked first.
“Can you rebuild the boat?”
“……”
Anrago shook his head.
Even if you make a small ferry, you need more than you think, and a lot of hands went into it.
Originally, I was able to make it with the help of other White Tiger Tower students, but it was difficult for me alone.
“Self-escape must be difficult…”
“I’m sorry.”
“done. But now there is a problem.”
When Lee Han said that with a serious expression, Angrago and Dukema became nervous.
It was Wodanaz who also defeated the undead that ruled this sandy beach.
What is it that makes you say that?
“What… what is it?”
“If you continue like this, you will miss class tomorrow.”
“……”
“……”
At first, the two thought Wodanaz was joking. However, Lee Han was very serious.
“Nong… wasn’t that a joke?”
“Does it look like I’m joking?”
“Oh no. sorry.”
“I… in this situation, can’t I skip class?”
Dukemar asked as if he didn’t understand. Lee Han replied in a bloody voice.
“You must not miss class under any circumstances. Got it?”
Grades were more important than life.
With Lee Han’s power, the two students understood with their hearts, even if they didn’t know with their heads.
I guess it really matters!
I’m not sure why it’s important…!
“I… I get it.”
“I will also apologize. But Wodanaz, I don’t think there’s any way to go to class tomorrow…”
The sun was already setting. The evening of the weekend is coming.
Tomorrow morning, a new week will come and classes will begin.
Can you escape in the meantime?
“Who will notice that you are gone and come to the rescue?”
Lee Han looked at the two and asked.
It was more realistic to wait outside to make a boat out of here.
However, they both shook their heads.
“Even if they notice, they won’t be able to come to rescue you right away.”
“There won’t be any boats…”
“The White Tiger Tower is a place where knights gather, so why can’t they unite like this?”
Lee Han said scoldingly.
Both of them were very embarrassed.
It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with unity…!
“Fortunately, the lecture on Monday morning is < Basic Magical Personality Education >, but…”
Lee Han was lost in thought.
In a way, it was fortunate that Headmaster Skeleton’s lecture was tomorrow.
If, during the lecture, the skeleton headmaster said, ‘Are there any guys who went to the island and found a ticket to go out? no? I can’t. I’ll give you a chance, so go to the island this time and find a ticket to go out.’
But…
‘Is the headmaster really like that?’
Should I say ‘I’ll have to help you a little’ when everyone fails to do their homework due to the skeleton principal’s personality?
Rather, ‘Can’t you do that? It seemed more likely that words such as ‘I will work harder’ come out.
While Lee Han was lost in his thoughts, Ang Rago hit his knee.
“Right! If we’re not there by the time the lecture starts, everyone will definitely notice we’re gone, and then the Headmaster will come to rescue us! If you hold on until then…”
“No. I’ll just have to explore the island right away. I must escape on my own.”
“……”
“……”
Lee Han’s reaction shocked the two of them.
“Couldn’t you come to rescue me…?”
“It can’t be.”
“But even if I’m worried if there are no students by the time of the lecture…”
“That can’t be the case.”
Lee Han even more resolutely nailed it.
The two of them became sullen.
‘Unfortunately, this is the reality.’
Now that Angrago and Dukema have entered the magic school, it is time to accept reality.
Unless there was no rescue from outside, he had to find a way here.
Lee Han was thinking of looking into the other things prepared by the Headmaster Skeleton.
‘I’ve prepared the right to go out and the ordeal to get there, so there must be other things.’
Or at least the ferryboat I took was hidden somewhere, so I had to find it.
Growling-
“……”
Lee Han looked away. Anrago lowered his head with an embarrassing expression on his face.
“You must be hungry. that’s how it moved I’d rather eat something. Anything to eat?”
In response to Lee Han’s question, the two nodded confidently.
“Then, shall we eat and move?”
With his words, Lee Han took out bread and canned food from his backpack.
Anrago took the bark from his backpack.
For a moment, Lee Han thought he had taken Angrago as a substitute for a bowl.
But Anrago grabbed the white bark and said to Dukemar.
“Dukema. Boil the water. Boil it and eat it.”
“for a moment. for a moment.”
“?”
Anrago and Dukma looked at Lee Han as if asking why.
Lee Han asked while looking at the bark.
“…do you eat it?”
Anrago grinned. It was a laugh mixed with a bit of pride. He seemed quite happy that he knew something that Lee Han did not know.
“Wardanaz. The inner bark of this tree is edible. If you eat it after boiling it, it will be quite soft and sweet.”
“……”
I didn’t ask because I didn’t know!
Lee Han sighed. Even if there is nothing to eat, it’s like peeling the bark of a tree and boiling it.
“I heard that the White Tiger Tower hunts for meat. Did I hear wrong?”
“I’m looking for meat, but the quantity is not enough.”
“Wardanaz. You don’t seem to know. Not all of them are caught by hunting. Besides, it’s pretty difficult to preserve. Most of them have to eat what they catch, so they are not suitable for emergency food like this.”
When the two White Tiger Tower students came out and explained something only they knew, Lee Han tried to beat him.
Since Lee Han was also a human being, they were a bit pitiful.
“…I brought something, so let’s eat together.”
“!”
“Is it true?”
“That tomato vegetable stew?”
The tomato vegetable stew made by Wardanaj has already become a legend. Even the students of the White Tiger Tower had heard of it.
“No… I don’t carry canned tomatoes with me when I come out to the lake. Not even carrying vegetables. I also simply bring my own food, so the amount is not enough. We need to find more nearby.”
At Lee Han’s words, the two were slightly disappointed.
Come to think of it, even Wodanaz couldn’t have expected such a situation.
Who would have thought that going out to scout on the shore of a lake would end up adrift on an island?
From his leather backpack, Lee Han took out a glass bottle of olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, and lightly hard white bread and marinated bacon.
The two of them were dumbfounded when they saw it.
‘He said he brought only his own food…!’
‘How well do the children of the Blue Dragon Tower really make a living?’
I was never ashamed or regretful about being assigned to the White Tiger Tower, but honestly, I was a little envious right now.
How the hell did you get that?
“As expected, it’s not enough.”
“Isn’t that enough…?”
“Looking at it earlier, there were edible mushrooms, so I need to get some.”
When Lee Han stood up, the two followed suit.
“Why is it happening?”
“Didn’t you say you would be my arm earlier?”
“You can’t send it alone.”
The two of them spoke quite spleenly, but Lee Han asked with a calm expression.
“Do you know how to distinguish mushrooms?”
“…I think I got it right… one out of three times. The other day.”
“Two of us will die. done. Just dig into what I’m talking about.”
The key to mushroom digging was digging only what I knew.
If you want to be a little strange or a little sinister, it was important not to dig even if it seemed like a familiar mushroom.
Lee Han, who knew that, said to pick and dig only mushrooms that are very safe and have a clear identity.
“Pick up those brown mushrooms.”
“Don’t dig into that.”
“Throw it away. Strange.”
The two White Tiger Top students, who diligently picked mushrooms in place of Lee Han, who had injured his arm, slowly gained confidence as they worked.
Wouldn’t we be able to distinguish mushrooms at this point?
“The color is cloudy and rough, but isn’t it a safe mushroom?”
“Throw it away before you put it in your mouth.”
“……”
Anrago calmly threw the mushroom aside.
However, Dukemar seemed to be very disappointed. I kept hearing that I was trying to be creative on my own.
“Could this mushroom…”
“It looks like it could be eaten. It looks like something that came out on the table when I was a kid.”
“It looks similar to the canned one from before, but isn’t this edible?”
Seeing Duke Mara work hard to become a master of mushroom digging, Lee Han told her to cheer him on.
“okay. You can eat those mushrooms. It is a mushroom that can only be eaten once.”
“Oh… Wait, why can I only eat one?”
“If you eat it, you will die.”
“……”
Duke Mar also quietly threw the mushroom aside.
And he quietly picked only the mushrooms that Lee Han had picked.

After preparing, the three made a bonfire.
Angrago was puzzled when Lee Han made fire with flint rather than magic.
“Why with flint?”
“Wodanaz thinks about the taste of cooking. I heard from my grandmother that a fire made by hand is better for cooking than a fire made with magic.”
‘Is that so?’
The reason Lee Han used flint to make fire was simple.
It was because calling the wrong fire could burn these two students.
Instead of explaining, Lee Han put butter and oil in a pan and heated it up.
The secret to making mushrooms taste good is to cook them hot with enough patience. If I throw in mushrooms in hastily…
‘…But it seems that my cooking skills have really improved after entering school.’
I wasn’t kidding, it felt like my cooking skills were better than my magic skills.
Every day, with limited ingredients, I think about how to make the menu delicious in a variety of ways, so I have no choice but to improve.
If you have the right amount of capital and support, a chef might be a better option than a wizard…
Chiiik!
Mushrooms on the pan sucked up the oil and butter.
Lee Han skillfully rolled the mushrooms, set them aside, and served the remaining oil with small slices of hard bread.
When the whole process was over, the two White Tiger Tower students couldn’t help but admire the way they cracked an egg and put it in.
‘These bastards seem to be admiring it more than when I heard the story of defeating the undead pet.’
“let’s eat.”
Lee Han sprinkled salt on the mushrooms and bread fried eggs to season them.
The three didn’t say anything and hurriedly stuffed the food into their stomachs. The grilled mushrooms were crispy, and the crusty bread ate oil and became moist.
Anrago suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes.
“I… never thought I’d be having a meal like this again.”
“…so do i. Ang. I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat for the rest of my life…”
‘It’s only been a month since you guys came in.’
Looking at the two white tiger tower students who became a bit sentimental, Lee Han swallowed the food without a word.
Crying means crying, and the students of the White Tiger Tower eagerly ate.
Moments later, there was a rustling sound from behind.
Lee Han threw the bowl he was holding right next to him and picked up his staff. Anrago unknowingly threw himself at the thrown bowl and caught it.
“Who are you?”
It was a water spirit that appeared through the bushes.
The water spirit seemed to be angry with the freshmen who were burning a bonfire without doing the trials they were told to do.
It was a sign that they would attack at any moment.
Lee Han also stood up from his seat with his cane.
It was also a sign of an immediate attack.
And Lee Han was one step faster.
“Come on…”
Before Lee Han could finish reciting the spell, the water spirit was startled and started to run away.
