Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Inside a dimly lit forest with giant trees. We can see a group of young people walking through the forest as they keep solemn faces and look from side to side. Occasionally, they talked in the same language.

In the middle of the group were two people with masks covering half their faces up. A man and a woman.

The man was thin and of ordinary appearance while the woman had red hair with a hot and seductive body. The two were Liu Yang and Ivy.

The group had entered the forest for a few hours, but they have been attacked several times by wild beasts in search of easy prey. Fortunately, the two teachers defeated the beasts.

The other groups that also entered the forest went to other places.

"We are going to stop and set up camp. It is already dark and walking at night is extremely dangerous "The professor commented. Her full name was Hao Jia.

As she was the strongest member with the most authority, she who gave the orders.

"Yes, professor Hao" The students and the other professor did not object to her words, as they also know how dangerous the Amazon Rainforest is at night.

If during the day it was already dangerous, during the night, the danger was multiplied by ten.

The group climbed the trees to the top, as it was the safest place. There weren't many wild beasts that can climb that high.

"Germinate" The mages of the wood element used their spells to create new branches through the branches of the trees until it became a type of ground to support the camp.

To improve communication between them and speed up in case of danger. The five trees used to set up the land were interconnected, the place looked like a large pentagram at the top of the trees.

Each of the trees was for a group to sleep, the boys will stay in one place, the girls will stay in the other, each teacher will stay in a separate place while Liu Yang and Ivy will be alone at the last point.

As the two were not students, the teachers did not have to care where they both will sleep in, besides, they were lovers and adults. What Liu Yang and Ivy do inside the room was their business and nobody else's business.

Liu Yang staying with Ivy at night aroused jealousy and envy among male students, as they also covet a beautiful girl like Ivy, but none of them had a chance to approach her.

During the walk, some male students tried to approach her, but Ivy preferred to keep her distance and stayed with Liu Yang.

Despite being shyer, the girls still had a wild imagination. They were imagining Liu Yang and Ivy alone inside the cabin and doing all kinds of crazy things.

"Guys, be careful not to create a very big flame so as not to alert the nocturnal creatures and burn the branches" Hao Jia reminded everyone again.

If someone accidentally burns the reinforced branches, everyone can fall and break some bones because of the height.

"We know Professor Hao" One of the students laughed. They wouldn't be stupid to make such a mistake.

The university group started cooking on one side while Liu Yang cooked on the other side. Even though they are group mates, Liu Yang and Ivy would prefer to be alone.

"Why don't you join us? It's more fun to eat in a group "Hao Jia invited the two. She was a sociable person and liked more people eating together.

"Professor Hao, you don't have to worry about these two. They spent most of the trip talking to each other, they shouldn't want to be disturbed. Besides, they are not even students at our university, we don't have time to worry about them "The other professor spoke. He didn't care much about Liu Yang and Ivy, as they weren't his students or anything.

"Professor Shen, even if they are not our students, they are still members of our country, at least that young man there. For his age, he is probably a student at some university. Besides, it is always good to have one more helper "Hao Jia had different thinking than the other teacher, Professor Shen Wu.

"I think he is just a young Chinese man who was living in another country. I didn't hear any news about any other university exploring the Amazon Rainforest, other than our Central University. "

"Professor Hao, Professor Shen is right. He must be a Chinese who live outside China. We don't have to worry about them, moreover, they are strong enough to survive inside the forest, if they don't get very far "One student commented.

The group was speaking in a low voice so that Liu Yang and Ivy could not hear, but it was a pity that the two could hear clearly what they were talking about. Liu Yang and Ivy did not care about the group's thoughts, as it was irrelevant to them.

Liu Yang and Ivy only asked to join the group because they wanted to disguise themselves a little, as only two people entering the forest was a rare thing to happen. Thus, a larger group of people would help in disguise.

Especially when their enemy is still alive, Vislac Kal. Liu Yang and Ivy don't know his whereabouts, so they can only mix in the crowd for now.

"The food is ready. Let's eat "The cook commented.

"It took a while. I'm already very hungry "

"If you want to eat raw food, you could have ordered it earlier. But I don't guarantee that you won't have any health problems because of that. "

"I was kidding…"

Having a health problem in a forest was one of the worst things that can happen. This can lead to death. No one in their right mind would have the courage to be sick.

Even with high technology and magic, many diseases have been eradicated. However, food poisoning or worms was still very common in the world. This kind of problem was impossible to solve.

"The smell is very good. What do we have for dinner today? "

"Rice, soup, meat, and vegetables. None of the ingredients are normal. All the ingredients I used are medicinal herbs created by farmers from mage clans. This food will help us to recover energy faster and improve our cultivation. You need to thank Professor Hao and Professor Shen for this opportunity, they brought these ingredients "

"Thank you, teachers" The poorest students never had a chance to eat something like that. Despite having money for expenses, they spend a lot of money on resources and the family. What they earn as a mage was hard to get a chance to eat an expensive type of food like that.

"Do not worry about this. This is the first dinner, so it's up to us, but the next ones will be yours "Even though the two are teachers and rich, the two still can't bring many meals with magical ingredients, a meal with this type of ingredient was maximum that they can do.

"Enjoy the food and the night's sleep, because tomorrow will be the beginning of the real challenge. Our research will start tomorrow, "Shen Wu commented. He was happy with the lively attitude of the students, but it would not last long because when the research begins. They will be putting their lives at risk.

"Professor Shen, stop scaring us. We have been walking here all afternoon and we had no problem. How are we going to have problems tomorrow? " One student commented. He had never entered the Amazon Rainforest and always heard rumors and news.

But rumors and news were always exaggerated in the minds of those who never personally experienced the trip.

Thus, many always think that the forest did not have so many dangers.

"I hope you can keep that thought up tomorrow nightfall," Shen Wu said mysteriously, he had explored the forest before. He knew the hidden dangers of the forest.

The students did not comment on these words. They just thought seriously about it.

On the other side…

Liu Yang and Ivy were eating side by side, their affective actions caught the attention of the young people on the other side. The young people looked at Ivy with eyes of desire and then at Liu Yang with eyes of jealousy and envy.

As always, the food is prepared by Liu Yang, only when they were with Sarina and Mia that the food was prepared by Sarina.

The two did not talk much during dinner, as it would be bad for others to overhear their conversations. They ate quickly before entering the tent inside the tree trunk.

Ivy used her power from the wood element to create a hole in the trunk.

Because of the large size of the trunk, the interior is large and the two can sleep peacefully, without having to hug each other.

The tent was placed inside the hole as a form of protection, as there were defensive spells inside.

When the couple entered the tent, the women in the other group were embarrassed because of wild thinking about what Liu Yang and Ivy were going to do alone during the night. While the men were envious and jealous when they thought of the images of Liu Yang pushing Ivy.

But none of them knew that none of this happened, or rather, the two did not do activities, but other perverted things.
