CHAPTER 41 : WORKING IN THE MINE

Myro, Boldes, Kiel and Tirse were currently in the Magic Plant Academy's prison. They couldn't escape the punishment from the previous fight.

Kessa also received a sentence in prison. However, Kessa was not in the same prison as them.

Baron Poluo was not imprisoned. However, he returned to his family and could not come to the Magic Plant Academy for 5 months as a punishment for what he had done earlier.

Even though they are called prisons, they are actually still treated well. They still got 10 mana crystals a month. They were in this prison to await the academy's decision on the punishment they would receive.

Lily and Fianna also often came here to see them or bring food. They were not punished because Myro, Boldes, Kiel and Tirse alone were deemed guilty by the academy.

Even though Lily also slapped Baron Poluo before, it was Baron Poluo who slapped her first. So with the help of the wizard Jale, Lily was not punished.

As for Myro and the others, they were the ones who hit Kessa first. Even though it was done because it was Kessa who taunted them first, but in the end they were the ones who hit first because Jale's magician couldn't help them escape punishment.

But in exchange, Kessa was also punished for being deemed to have committed a bad act and fraud.

Right now, Lily and Fianna were coming to the prison they were in. Myro and the others were in the same prison so their prison was huge.

Fianna and Lily could only see them from the outside.

"You know, the Fire Arrow City of the Iron Bear Kingdom has been destroyed", said Lily telling the news she heard.

"Fire Arrow City?", Boldes was silent for a while then said again "Isn't it quite close to our village? What happened? Was it attacked by troops from other kingdoms?".

Lily shook her head and said "According to the news, it has become a city of the dead".

Myro, who was initially not very interested in the destruction of the Fire Arrow City, immediately said "City of the dead? Are there many undead there?".

"Yes", Lily nodded then said again "At first the Iron Bear Kingdom thought that it was caused by magicians from the Summoning Magician Academy. After all, they are magicians who can summon the undead. But after finding out, the entire kingdom and magic academy found something surprising. People The one who destroyed that city was neither from the Summoning Magician Academy nor from the Dark Academy".

"Fire Arrow City is under the protection of the Dark Academy. Therefore, the Dark Academy will be the one to settle this matter".

Hearing that, Myro nodded and no longer cared. The strongest magic academies were the Dark Academy and the Bright Light Academy, so their territory was much larger than the territory of other magic academies. The magic academy has a mission to protect the population and cooperate with the kingdom. So, if there was a problem that resulted in a large number of casualties on the population then the magic academy had to step in.

It just so happened that the territory of Fire Arrow City was the territory of the Dark Academy. Therefore, the Dark Academy had to settle this matter.

The Dark Academy had many senior mages. The Magic Plant Academy alone had 20 senior magicians so the Dark Academy had to have at least 30 senior magicians. The problem of this city of the dead can definitely be resolved quickly.

"We have to be careful", said Kiel who was practicing sword then said again "Fire Arrow Town is quite close to our village. So, you should always look for the latest information about the city of the dead. Don't let us not know if our village is attacked" .

Lily nodded and said "We understand".

Fianna immediately showed a box and opened it then said "You guys must be tired of prison food right? So Lily and I made this food for you".

"Well..... I'm already quite bored with prison food", said Boldes with a smile and then started to take the box.

Kiel, who was practicing his swordsmanship, stopped practicing and started to come closer to eat as well. Myro also walked over, after all he was already tired of prison food which had no taste at all. The food in prison is only bread and water. How could Myro be able to endure just eating those foods.

"Why is Tirse just sitting on his bed? Isn't he hungry?", said Fianna when she saw Tirse who just stayed on her bed and didn't come near to get food.

"Tirse?", said Boldes looking at Tirse then said again "Just let Tirse sleep. She is currently very depressed, after all we are currently in prison so it's natural to feel depressed. She didn't even sleep all night so she's asleep at the moment. just some food for Tirse."

"Yes", Fianna nodded.

After they all ate, Fianna and Lily left from there. After all, the prison had a daily visitation time limit, so Fianna and Lily couldn't stay here for long.

After Fianna and Lily left, Boldes' face became gloomy and said "What do you think our punishment is? Is it possible that we will be expelled from the academy? Or maybe the death penalty?".

After Boldes' words, the entire prison fell silent. Myro just kept quiet and started cultivating. Kiel didn't answer any of Boldes' questions and continued to practice swordsmanship.

Seeing the wrong atmosphere, Boldes smiled slightly and said "Sorry, we shouldn't have to remain confident right. It seems that being in prison for this week has made me a little crazy".

After that, Boldes also started to return to his bed and cultivate.

Finally the day began to turn into night. Immediately the sound of footsteps rang out in the prison area of ​​the academy. Myro, Boldes, Kiel and even Tirse were instantly awakened by such a loud noise.

Dozens of mages in white robes with tree crests came in front of Myro, Boldes, Kiel and Tirse's prisons. They immediately opened the prison door and rushed to catch Myro and the others.

"Wait, what are you guys doing? Why are you suddenly arresting us?", Boldes immediately shouted when he saw dozens of magicians who caught him.

However, the magicians didn't answer and caught them anyway. Myro immediately moved his hand silently to signal to Shar and Lean to stop and not to intervene first.

Shar and Lean have always been in prison. Shar helps Lean with his artifact Hidden Cloak so these wizards can't find out where Shar and Lean are.

Myro told them not to intervene first to see the Magic Plant Academy's decision.

If the Plant Magic Academy was going to kill them, then Myro would destroy this entire Magic Plant Academy without a doubt. If it was another punishment, then Myro would have seen it first. If the punishment was too risky for his life, then Myro would still destroy the Magic Plant Academy.

After they were captured, the magicians took them away from the prison area. But before that, they were rendered speechless so as not to scream.

After they returned to the Magic Plant Academy, they were taken to the harbor. Currently the streets of the Magical Plant Academy were completely devoid of people. After all, it was already very late, so there wasn't a single disciple on these streets. At the port, the head of the Magical Herbs Academy was already there and there was a ship behind him.

Seeing Myro and the others coming, the head of the Magical Herbs Academy couldn't help but sigh and say "You guys can only blame yourself for daring to go up against the nobles. Even though there's Magician Jale, that senior mage of the nobles still doesn't give up".

"I will tell you that you will not be killed. We have prepared your fake corpses so that tomorrow the news of your deaths will be known immediately. Therefore, the Jale wizard will definitely not insist on helping you anymore since you are already dead".

"Then, the matter of your punishments. We Magical Herbs Academy have a useless bronze mine on an uninhabited island far from the Continent of Fate. You can live there and mine bronze. Then the academy will come once a year to collect the bronze you have earned from your labors. ".

"You will be working in the mine forever. You can't build ships there anyway. You also can't fly because you're not a senior mage. Even though Myro is talented, without cultivation resources he will never become a senior mage. So don't think about running away. self".

"If you guys are thinking of stealing the ship that comes once a year, then just give up. The ship that comes there will be fully guarded by a junior mage, maybe even a senior mage. So there's no chance of escaping".

"As for food, you don't have to worry. Every year we will give you enough bread for a year. So you won't starve to death."

"Maybe you think this punishment is cruel but there is no other choice", the head of the Magical Herbs Academy sighed and said "Since Myro is a talented student, actually I will help him. However, those senior mages from noble families insist on killing you guys. If you are not banished to the island, then the nobles will send assassins to kill you".

"Alright, you guys can take them to the ship now", said the head of the Magical Plants Academy.

The magicians who captured Myro, Boldes, Kiel and Tirse started to take them to the ship.

They were put in a room on the ship and left there until they arrived on the island.

When they were on the ship they could already speak, therefore Boldes immediately shouted "How dare they throw us away. This is no different from the death penalty".

The atmosphere in the room became gloomy. They are all just silent with their own thoughts in dealing with this matter. Only the sound of the ship crashing against the waves could be heard in the room.

It is not known how much time passed, the ship finally stopped. The magicians immediately came to Myro and the others' room and immediately took them.

Upon arriving on the ship, Myro saw a very large island. On the island, only beaches and forests can be seen with no houses at all. The magicians didn't get off the ship, but immediately threw Myro and the others onto the island. They also immediately threw a large bag filled with bread.

"Ooooo"

Suddenly there was a very loud howl of a wolf. Myro and the others as well as the magicians on the ship immediately felt pressured by the sound.

Boldes immediately became frightened and said "How could we possibly live on this island? That voice just now is undoubtedly a wolf monster of senior mage level. How can we fight that wolf".

The ship that was escorting them immediately turned around quickly. It was as if the ship was trying to escape as quickly as possible from the island. It seems that the Herb Magic Academy already knew that on this island there existed very powerful monsters, so they didn't dare to come to this island and send miners to the island to collect bronze.

The moment Myro and the others saw the ship was trying to run away from the island. A large tentacle appeared from above the water. The mages on the ship immediately became startled and started casting spells. But no matter what spell was used, it didn't damage the tentacle at all.

The huge tentacle immediately danced the ship to the bottom of the water. The ship easily sank because it was dragged by the tentacles. Moments later, only the remains of the shipwreck remained. Even the sea turned the color of blood.

None of the magicians on the ship had managed to survive. Although there were no senior mages on the ship, there were dozens of junior mages. There might even be a peak senior mage. However, all of them died easily being eaten by the tentacle monster.

Seeing that, Tirse immediately fell down filled with a look of despair. He cried and said "It's over! There's no longer any chance of us going back..... Even survival on this island is nearly impossible".

Kiel just kept quiet and held his sword tightly. He just felt helpless with his weaknesses so he was trapped in a difficult situation like this.

Boldes also fell and became desperate. After all, they are 10 year olds. Even though they were magicians but they were only apprentice wizards. Whereas in the forest on this island there are monsters that are equivalent to senior magicians. How could they not feel hopeless.

Myro who saw that, didn't feel hopeless at all. Because according to Shar, if he fought the tentacle monster earlier then he was sure that the monster could be their pet. So, if Myro is going to leave here Shar will catch the monster for Myro's vehicle.

However, Myro had no interest in leaving this island. This island is very wide, there are even many powerful monsters. Then there might be hidden treasures on this island. Therefore, Myro decided to stay for a while on this island. At least until he confirmed that there were no treasures of value here.

But, an island that can have several senior monsters easily. There must be some hidden secret here.

So, it's better to take a look at the bronze mine first tomorrow.
