Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Chapter 024

While Durgyu was lowering his evaluation of Kainan Island, Nilia began counting out the items she needed to travel around at night for a long time.

“First of all, you don’t know how long you will be moving, so you have to prepare as well as possible. It would be nice to have sturdy boots and a few good pairs of socks…’

‘We don’t have those.’

At Lee Han’s words, the atmosphere became solemn.

The principal deliberately gave them rough, old clothes, but there was no way that was the case.

Nilia took out her luggage as if she knew that.

“I’ve been making spare boots using the skins of the animals I caught the other day. I tore off the curtains in the break room and made footswraps. ruler. Give me your feet.”

“……”

“……”

When Lee Han and Yoner didn’t say anything, Nilia felt sorry for her.

‘Did I get into trouble again?’

After bringing the meat, Nilia was able to get along with the < Black Turtle Tower > students quite a bit, but she couldn’t help feeling a certain distance while talking.

Nilia, who was born and raised in the cold northern mountains as a member of the Shadow Guard, and a student born and raised in a large merchant family in the center of the empire are bound to have a sense of distance.

-and! See that red flower over there?

-huh. that flower is delicious sweet and

-…Ah no. isn’t it pretty

– Isn’t it better because it’s pretty and delicious?

Of course, unless Nilia was an idiot, she couldn’t have known the atmosphere.

After getting awkward once, I kept my mouth shut and swallowed my words.

But to say it again

It was a mistake.

“This is so… I sewed it myself… but I couldn’t help it…”

“It’s really great!”

“that’s right! amazing!”

“!?”

However, Lee Han and Yoner’s reaction was the exact opposite of Nilia’s expectation.

“Is this great?”

“of course. You made this yourself.”

“It is a skill that no one else can do. Did you sew this with a needle?”

Nilia’s mouth and the corners of her eyes trembled in delight at Yihan and Yoner’s reaction.

“…isn’t it a big deal?”

“It’s nothing. What are you talking about?”

“that’s right. Who can do this here?”

“Nilia. You have to do business.”

“that’s right. Let’s sell it to top students for money.”

Nilia waved her hand when the topic took a strange way after receiving a pleasant compliment.

“I hate business.”

“why not?”

“why? Nilia. Why do you hate money?”

When Lee Han and Yoner asked with sincere expressions, Nilia was dumbfounded.

‘Isn’t it normal for friends to hate doing business!?’

Anyone who sees it will know that Nilia belongs to the Blue Dragon Tower.

“What are you paying for? no!”

At those words, Yihan and Yoner were serious.

“Nonsense. Whether you can get paid or not is not up to you, it’s up to the market.”

“That’s a really good word. Nilia. Do you understand?”

“…Can I just explain? huh??”

“ah. sorry. continue.”

Nilia, who barely escaped, cleared her throat. Still, her expression was much brighter than before, and her long ears were raised as if in a good mood.

No matter how much you pretend you are not, being recognized is bound to make you happy.

“But what is so great about this?”

Gainando asked as if he didn’t understand.

puck!

Yoner slapped Gainando on the back. Lee Han broke Gainando’s shin.

“Nilia. don’t give him You don’t have to use it, you know what’s great.”

“that’s right. He has to work hard.”

“You… aren’t you too much?! I’m still the prince…!”

‘Was he a prince?!’

Nilia was frightened.

Lee Han and Yoner, who were from great families, had no special thoughts about the royal family with three-digit numbers, but it was inevitable that they felt incredibly big to Nilia.

A direct descendant of the emperor.

Its name alone is dignified…

‘…it doesn’t exist.’

Seeing how Yoner slapped him on the back and Lee Han kicked him in the shin, he looked more like a patient than a prince.

“hey. Don’t you know how precious those boots and footwraps are when you don’t know how many hours you’ll have to walk? Even if you walk for an hour, your feet and everything will be scratched.”

“Let’s just leave it alone.”

“Ah… no! okay! Okay, so don’t leave!”

When the situation was over, Lee Han apologized to Nilia instead.

“sorry. Nilia. I prepared hard, but here, Gainando said something rude.”

“Oh no. I really don’t care.”

“You seem to care, but should I hit you one more time?”

“Are you really okay?!”

Nilia was frightened again and stopped it.

There were no really unpleasant feelings. At first glance, it seemed that Gainando had never walked for a long time in his life (let alone a prince), so it is natural that he did not know.

“ruler. Here’s the coat I made. It’s spring, but it’ll be chilly at night. There is quite a bit of wind around here.”

“Nilia…”

“Really…”

“…Will you stop reacting to every word I say?”

It was pleasant, but making a fuss so much that Nilia was becoming an annoyance.

“Leather backpack. You’ll need it when you get into town. leather water bag. I made this too.”

‘It’s really amazing.’

Lee Han was honestly amazed.

To make that all by myself with only a leather needle and thread.

‘Why don’t you do business with that skill?’

If it was Lee Han, he would have earned a lot.

Looking to the side, Yoner had a sad expression on his face, as if he had had similar thoughts.

“If you want to move in the dark for a long time, you need to cover your feet well, prepare a coat for possible cold, and have enough to drink and eat…”

Nilia hesitated as she spoke.

I was worried about eating.

Nilia says you can ride a mountain range while starving for a day, but will the other kids really be okay?

“I brought something to eat. Sausage and bread cuts and goat cheese. And dwarven honey candy. Will this be enough?”

“!”

Nilia was startled.

The food Lee Han brought was enough for emergency food.

“Where did you get it?”

“I snuck into Professor Thunderwalker’s cabin.”

“……”

You really belong to the Blue Dragon Tower, right?

“Honorable friends gathered here today. Knights who have sworn to obey my orders.”

At Giselle’s words, the sturdy students nodded their heads.

They were the White Tiger Tower students who trusted Giselle and decided to try to escape together.

I hadn’t heard of any plans, but I could see Giselle’s influence in this gathering.

Several of the students were taller and bigger than Giselle, and others were much more rugged.

As an elf with thin lines and a delicate appearance, he must have been intimidated, but Giselle stood in front of her without hesitation.

And said it in an arrogant and sharp voice.

“Never mind the idiots and traitors who aren’t here. Soon the children will find out.”

“of course!”

“You’re right. Moradi.”

“We leave in ten minutes.”

There was, of course, a reason why Giselle was so confident.

‘Four hours is enough if I follow the map.’

Surprisingly, Giselle had an escape map.

The escape map I found when I was with the Moradi family before entering school!

-A compendium of magic for beginners What is magic?

-sorry. Mr. Moradi.

– Bring everything you can. I have no intention of being ignored by other mages.

All of the knight families had similar concerns before entering the magic academy.

Will I be able to follow?

Unlike other families, it was natural for him to be worried as he had only held a sword and wielded it all his life.

Giselle, proud of herself, had no intention of being slighted. Before entering the magic school, I read various books and studied as much as I could.

And between those books was an escape map.

– Einroguard escape map…? What is this?

A map with detailed instructions on how to get out of school.

The first time he saw it, Giselle was dumbfounded.

Ein Lorgard was not a school that anyone could enter.

The best magic school that only talented people from the empire enter.

What kind of pathetic bastard would take such an opportunity and think about how to escape.

However, within one day of entering the school, Giselle learned why the map was made.

Oh, it deserves to be made!

-About the escape from Einrogard-

I tell you the truth, the path shown on this map is the only way to escape. You juniors, please get out of school through this road that me and my friends have polished

and polished…

With this map, you should be able to get out of here!

“Move to the mountain.”

“I see…”

Lee Han and his party, who were lying face down in the bushes, witnessed the moving torches in the distance.

The students of the White Tiger Tower began to move.

‘Was it a mountain after all?’

From Lee Han’s point of view, there were two major routes to get out of the magic school.

One is the huge wall or gate in front of the magic school.

It was as close as it was to the place you entered, and you could quickly go to the village along the imperial highway, but there was a problem that it was not easy to break through the walls or gates.

The other is a huge and majestic mountain range behind the magic school.

The long wall of the castle is also cut deep in the mountain range, so if you go in well, you will be able to bypass it and get out.

Lee Han thought that if Giselle knew how, it would be the latter.

The vast mountain range behind the magic school was thickly forested even from the outside, so it was difficult to enter, but if you have the ability, you should be able to break through with a map.

That expectation was correct.

“It moves. Let’s follow!”

“uh? Why are you going to the mountain?”

Gainando panicked and chased after him.

Of course, he knew how to go out through the gates.

“Climb up the mountain and break through.”

“uh? why?!”

“Because there is a road. Durgyu. Guinan Island, please.”

“i get it.”

Durgyu happily nodded.

Nylia was the best mountaineer among them, and Yihan and Durgyu were quite trained as knights. Yoner also had confidence in walking thanks to running around to collect alchemy ingredients since he was a child.

The thing I’m most worried about is Guinan Island!

“uh? What do you want??”

“I am behind you. Prince. Breathe through your nose and don’t stop walking. ruler!”

“uh? No sleep…”

Cainando tried to answer the question, but soon he was unable to ask any more questions.

“Hehehehehehehehehehehe.”

“ruler!”

“What… now… Whoops.”

“ruler!”

‘stop…!’

A night with dim moonlight.

Walking along an unfamiliar mountain path in the dark was a task that consumed a lot of stamina.

Even though Nilia took the lead in checking the road and cutting and clearing obstacles, everyone in the party was drenched in sweat.

Even in the middle of it, Lee Han tried to record the road.

Thanks to his harsh training under a crazy professor, Lee Han drew a map on paper even when he couldn’t see it.

“???”

Yoner, who was walking next to him, looked at Lee Han in disbelief.

‘Did he use a magic like < Night Vision > by himself?’

It was a feat that could not be explained unless it was learned in advance because it was the Wodanaz family.

“oh. Look at this.”

“What is this?”

“It’s a sleeping plant. If you make powder and drink it with water, you can sleep better.”

“Let’s take it.”

“huh?”

“Let’s take it. I don’t know when I’ll use it.”

“Do you have anything to write about?”

Yoner tilted his head and took the sleeping weed.

‘It seems like at least an hour has passed.’

“Nilia. How far do you think you’ve come? I think I walked for an hour.”

“An hour and ten minutes.”

Nilia replied and looked at Lee Han anew.

He’s not a hunter, but he doesn’t forget his sense of time in this mountain.

At that moment, Lee Han felt a chilling sensation as if his entire spine stood on end.

‘Is it a monster!? No, Nilia must have checked it? Did I miss it?’

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

“……”

That was the familiar laugh of a skeleton.
