Episode 101
The three gathered again in front of the sandy beach.
Now that I’ve been shipwrecked on this Hell Island, no, the Skeleton Principal’s Island, I was thinking about what to do next.
Lee Han asked first.
“Is it possible to rebuild the ship?”
“……”
Angago shook his head.
Even if you make a small ferry, you need more things than you think and a lot of work goes into it.
Originally, he was able to make it with the help of other White Tiger Tower students, but it was difficult for him to do on his own.
“It would be difficult to escape on your own…”
“I’m sorry.”
“done. “But now there is a problem.”
When Lee Han said that with a serious expression, Angago and Dukema became nervous.
It was Wardanaz who also defeated the undead that ruled this sandy beach.
What on earth makes you say that?
“What… what is it?”
“If I keep going like this, I’m going to have to miss class tomorrow.”
“……”
“……”
At first, the two thought Wardanaz was joking. But Lee Han was very serious.
“Nong… wasn’t it a joke?”
“Do you think I’m joking?”
“Oh, no. sorry.”
“Isn’t it okay to skip class in this situation?”
Dukemar asked as if he didn’t understand. Lee Han answered in a bloody voice.
“You must not miss class under any circumstances. Do you understand?”
Grades were more important than life.
The two students understood Lee Han’s power with their hearts, even if they did not understand it with their heads.
I guess it’s really important!
I’m not sure why it’s important, but…!
“Okay… I understand.”
“I also apologize. But Wardanaz, 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 arrive and classes will begin.
Can you escape in the meantime?
“Who will notice that you are gone and come to rescue you?”
Lee Han looked at the two and asked.
Rather than building a boat here and heading out, it was more realistic to wait for it to come from outside.
But they both shook their heads.
“Even if you notice, you can’t come to the rescue right away.”
“There won’t be any ships…”
“The White Tiger Tower is a place where knights gather, so why is there no unity?”
Lee Han spoke as if scolding.
The two became very frustrated.
That doesn’t seem to have anything to do with unity…!
“Luckily, Monday morning’s lecture is <Basic Magic Personality Education>…”
Lee Han was lost in thought.
In a way, it was fortunate that there was a lecture by the skeleton headmaster tomorrow.
If during a lecture, the skeleton principal asks, ‘Are there people who went to the island and looked for a ticket to go out? No? That won’t work. If I said, ‘I’ll give you a chance, go to the island this time and get a ticket to go out,’ Lee Han and his party could have been rescued even if they stayed still.
but…
‘Is the skeleton principal really like that?’
Should I say, ‘I need to help you a little bit’ because the principal has a skeletal personality and everyone hasn’t been able to do their homework?
Rather, ‘Can’t you even do that? It seemed more likely that something like ‘Please work harder’ would be said.
While Ihan was lost in thought, Angago hit his knee.
“Right! If we don’t wait until class starts, everyone will definitely notice that we’re gone, and then the principal will come to rescue us! “If you just hold on until then…”
“no. I should just explore the island right away. “I guess I’ll have to escape on my own.”
“……”
“……”
The two were stunned by Lee Han’s reaction.
“Couldn’t you come to save me… me?”
“That can’t be possible.”
“But I’m worried if there are no students until the lecture…”
“That can’t be possible.”
Lee Han nailed it even more firmly.
The two became sullen.
‘Unfortunately, this is reality.’
Now that Angago and Dukema have entered the magic school, it is time to accept reality.
Since there was no way rescue could come from outside, we had to find a way here.

Lee Han was planning to look through the other things that Principal Skull had prepared.
‘I’m sure they’ve prepared an outing ticket and the ordeal to get there, so there’s sure to be other things as well.’
Or at least the ferry boat I took was probably hidden somewhere, so I had to find it.
Growling-
“……”
Lee Han looked away. Anrago lowered his head with an embarrassed expression.
“You must be hungry. Because it moved like that. It would be better to eat something. “Do you have anything to eat?”
In response to Lee Han’s question, the two nodded with confident expressions.
“Then let’s eat and move.”
As he spoke, Lee Han took out bread and canned food from his backpack.
Anrago took out a piece of tree bark from his backpack.
For a moment, Lee Han thought Anrago had taken it out as a substitute for a bowl.
But Anrago held the white bark and said to Dukema:
“Dukema. Let’s boil water. Boil it and eat it.”
“for a moment. for a moment.”
“?”
Angago and Dukema looked at Ihan as if asking why.
Lee Han looked at the tree bark and asked.
“…Do you eat that?”
Anrago grinned. It was a smile mixed with a bit of pride. She seemed quite happy that she knew something that Lee Han didn’t.
“Wardanaz. The inner bark of this tree is edible. “If you boil it well, it becomes quite soft and sweet.”
“……”
I didn’t ask because I didn’t know!
Lee Han sighed. Even if there is nothing to eat, they peel the tree bark and boil it to eat it.
“I heard that at the White Tiger Tower, meat is obtained through hunting. “Did I hear wrong?”
“I’m looking for meat, but it’s not enough.”
“Wardanaz. Looks like you don’t know much. Hunting doesn’t mean you can catch everything. Moreover, it is quite difficult to preserve. “Most of them have to be eaten as they are caught, so they are not suitable for this type of emergency food.”
When the two White Tiger Tower students triumphantly explained something that only they knew, Lee Han tried to beat them up but ended up giving them a beating.
Since Lee Han was also human, I felt sorry for them.
“…I brought something, so let’s eat together.”
“!”
“Jeong, is this really true?”
“That tomato vegetable stew?”
The tomato and vegetable stew that Wardanaz made was already legendary. Even White Tiger Tower students had heard of it.
“No… I don’t carry cans of tomatoes with me when I go out to the lake. Without even carrying vegetables. I also brought only simple food and there wasn’t enough food. “You have to look for more nearby.”
The two were slightly disappointed by Lee Han’s words.
Now that I think about it, Wardanaz probably didn’t expect this situation.
Who would have thought that they would go out to scout the lakeside and end up stranded on an island?
Lee Han took out a pot, a glass bottle of olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, eggs, slightly hard white bread, and pickled bacon from his leather backpack.
The two who saw that were dumbfounded.
‘He said he only brought his own food…!’
‘How well are the children of the Blue Dragon Tower really living?’
I’ve never been embarrassed or regretful about being assigned to the White Tiger Tower, but honestly, right now, I’m a little envious.
How on earth did they secure that?
“As expected, it’s not enough.”
“No, isn’t that enough…?”
“I saw some edible mushrooms earlier, so I guess I should grab some.”
When Lee Han stood up, the two followed suit.
“Why are you waking up?”
“I told you earlier that I would be your arm, didn’t I?”
“You can’t send it alone.”
The two spoke quite solemnly, but Lee Han asked with a cool expression.
“Do you know how to identify mushrooms?”
“…I think I got it right once out of three times. The other day.”
“Two of us are going to die. done. “Just try to find out what I’m saying.”
The key to mushroom digging was to dig only what you knew.
It was important not to dig up mushrooms that seemed a little strange or ominous, even if they looked like mushrooms.
Lee Han, who knew this, told him to only pick and dig up mushrooms that were very safe and whose identities were clearly known.
“Dig up those brown mushrooms.”
“Don’t dig up that.”
“Throw that away. “That’s strange.”
The two White Tiger Tower students, who diligently dug mushrooms on behalf of Lee Han, who had injured his arm, gradually gained confidence as they progressed.
At this point, wouldn’t we be able to distinguish mushrooms?
“It’s cloudy and rough in color, but isn’t it a safe mushroom?”
“Throw it away before I put it in your mouth.”
“……”
Anrago quietly threw the mushroom to the side.
However, Dukema seemed very disappointed. He kept coming back to try his own creative endeavors.
“Could this mushroom be…”
“This looks like it could be eaten. “It looks like something from the dinner table when I was young.”
“It looks similar to the canned one earlier. Isn’t this edible?”
Seeing Duke Ma working hard to become a mushroom digging expert, Lee Han spoke to cheer him on.
“okay. You can eat those mushrooms. “It’s a mushroom that can only be eaten once.”
“Oh… wait, why can’t I only eat it once?”
“If you eat it, you will die.”
“……”
Dukema also quietly threw the mushroom to the side.
And I quietly picked the mushrooms that Lee Han had asked me to dig.

After finishing preparations, the three made a bonfire.
Angago was puzzled when Ihan created fire with flint rather than magic.
“Why flint?”
“Wodanaj is about thinking about the taste of the dish. “I heard from my grandmother that a fire made by hand is better for cooking than a fire made by magic.”
‘Is that so?’
The reason why Lee Han started a fire with flint was simple.
If the fire was called incorrectly, it could have burned these two students.
Instead of explaining, Lee Han put butter and oil in a pan and heated it up.
The secret to cooking mushrooms deliciously was to cook them hot and with enough patience. If you hastily throw in mushrooms…
‘…But it seems like my cooking skills have really improved since I entered school.’
No joke, I felt like my cooking skills were better than my magic skills.
As I worry about how to make the menu diverse and delicious with limited ingredients every day, I have no choice but to improve.
With adequate capital and support, being a chef may be a better option than a wizard…
Chi-ik!
The mushrooms on the pan absorbed the oil and butter.
Lee Han skillfully rolled the mushrooms and set them aside, then added small pieces of hardened bread to the remaining oil.
When the entire process was completed, the two White Tiger Tower students could not help but be impressed by the frugal way in which they even cracked the eggs.
‘These guys seem to be more impressed than when I heard they defeated an undead summoner earlier.’
“let’s eat.”
Lee Han sprinkled salt on the mushrooms, bread, and fried eggs to adjust the seasoning.
The three of them didn’t say anything and hurriedly stuffed the food into their stomachs. The grilled mushrooms were crispy, and the hard bread became moist after eating the oil.
Anrago suddenly felt his eyes getting hot.
“I… never thought I would have a meal like this again.”
“…so do i. Angago. “I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat it 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 had become a little too sentimental, Lee Han swallowed his food in silence.
Crying means crying, and the White Tiger Tower students ate eagerly, probably because they were quite hungry.
At that moment, there was a rustling sound from behind.
Lee Han threw the bowl he was holding to the side and picked up his cane. Angago threw himself down and caught the thrown bowl without realizing it.
“Who are you?”
What appeared through the bushes was a water spirit.
The water spirit seemed to be angry at the freshmen who were building a bonfire instead of doing the trials they were told to do. He came closer, inflating his body irregularly.
It was a sign that they would attack at any moment.
Lee Han also stood up, holding his cane.
Likewise, it was a sign that they would attack immediately.
And Lee Han was one step faster.
“Push it away…”
Before Lee Han could finish reciting the spell, the water spirit was startled and started to run away.
