Surviving as a Mage in a Magic Academy -
Chapter 689
Once the small commotion at the estate ended, Lee Han’s group began preparing quickly.
Thanks to Lady Kraha’s kindness, the time needed to secure supplies in Plaher City was greatly reduced.
At the same time, some unnecessary supplies were added as well.
“-Whoever put mage cards in the silver pot, Gainando, come out here.”
-Why, why me? It could’ve been someone else!
“All set? Depart! Depart!”
After the final check, Lee Han climbed onto the carriage and signaled.
CLOP-CLOP-CLOP-
Inside the carriage, the friends were already discussing with grave expressions which of the supplies they’d secured should be brought into Einroguard first.
“Shouldn’t food come first?”
“My thought is a little different. From second year on, we can meet seniors, right? Seniors will have more food than we do, so food might not be as scarce as it was in first year. It might be better for trading to bring in luxuries like coffee, tea leaves, or sugar instead.”
“Wouldn’t seniors share some food?”
“I don’t think… they would.”
“If I were a senior, I don’t think I’d hand food out to juniors either.”
“Food and treats are important, but I’m worried about second-year classes. I heard the difficulty goes up starting in second year, and club activities get added too. And we have to do our own research and secure research funding—can we really not prepare?”
“As Yonair says, it might be better to bring in outside spellbooks or artifacts, or at least reagents.”
“But magazines and mage cards would be good trade goods for seniors starving for entertainment—”
‘You idiots. If only you focused like that on exam prep.’
Lee Han shot the friends a look.
Of course it was right for everyone to think seriously together, but if they’d thought this seriously during exams, how nice would that have been?
“Wardanaz. Do you have something on your mind? Why is your expression—”
“Haha. I just suddenly got tense because the new semester’s coming soon.”
Lee Han lightly steered the topic aside and sat down.
Siana smiled and said,
“Haha. There’s no way Wardanaz would get tense over something like that. What a joke.”
“…No, I can get tense too…”
“Lee Han. What do you think?”
“Hm?”
Dergeu, who had been talking with Ratford, called Lee Han. Both had serious expressions.
“This isn’t going to be something useless, right? Like which mage card is good.”
“As if we’d call you for that.”
The two looked dumbfounded.
At that reaction, Gainando flinched. Whenever an argument broke out over that kind of thing with the Blue Dragon Tower friends, they usually called Lee Han.
“What we were talking about is the seniors.”
Choosing what to prioritize when smuggling was important, but even more important was what methods they would use.
On this point, Lee Han’s friends thought they needed to borrow the power of seniors.
Seniors had tried more methods, could use more magic, and would have a wider view.
The problem was which seniors to borrow strength from.
Dergeu wanted help from White Tiger Tower seniors skilled in transformation magic or enhancement magic, while Ratford wanted help from Black Turtle Tower seniors who would surely have exceptional thieves.
“None of the priestess seniors I know would be good at smuggling, right…? Hng.”
‘Isn’t that a good thing?’
Nillia thought inwardly while looking at Siana sulking.
“Wait.”
Lee Han pulled out a rolled-up sheet of paper from the coat pocket. Yonair asked, puzzled.
“What’s that?”
“A senior gave it to me, said to use it as a reference when smuggling.”
“It doesn’t say, ‘Endure,’ does it? The Shadow Patrol does that a lot.”
“…Th-That could be possible, but it’s not that kind of senior.”
Lee Han answered, trusting Diret.
Einroguard seniors could do that, but Diret wasn’t like that.
…Probably.
