crude fishing rod
He cut off the twigs of tree trunks with a dagger, hung silk thread from the fabric, and replaced the needle with a small nail.
Its durability is poor and it is difficult to quickly determine whether to bite or not because there is no jjigae.

I realized the biggest drawback of spear fishing. It just takes too much energy.
So I decided to try fishing using a fishing rod, so I made it. Tree trunks are scattered all over the river, so all you have to do is choose an object of the appropriate size.
Some of my old clothes used silk thread, so I pulled out the thread and twisted it in two or three layers to use it as a fishing line.
Then I broke one of the bags to take advantage of the little nails holding the hinges on the wooden bag. There was no such thing as a jangdori, so there was nothing I could do about it.
As a result, although crude, one fishing rod was completed. As the bait, we decided to use earthworms that come out a lot when we lift stones in a wetland near a stream.
With everything ready, I threw the needle towards the stream.
So I sat by the river and waited silently for a bite.
“Hmm…”
It was not a bad feeling to sit with your chin crossed and wait for a bite. Compared to running around the water while soaking up the body, it seems like a godsend.
“I hope it works.”
When I was young, I didn’t have to worry about starving to death only when I ran in the mountains, so it was just fun. It reminds me of that time, so the tip of my nose twitches.
“Hmm… I guess I didn’t do anything wrong.”
As I was quietly casting the fishing rod, I had a lot of bad thoughts.
I wondered if it was a good thing I told Princess Fenia the location of the golden marble.
“I’ll have to be more careful next time.”
The fact that I know everything that is going to happen to this Sylvania Academy is my greatest advantage.
But if the future doesn’t go according to the scenario I know of by doing something that could be a variable, I could become an idiot giving up the advantage I have on my own.
If I follow the scenario I know, it will not happen that Princess Fenia finds the golden orb.
If you follow the love affair, the one who discovers the location of the marble is ‘lazy Lucy’.
He is a person like the incarnation of talent who never misses the first place in the Ministry of Magic from the time of the class placement test until graduation.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do about it, because that’s the only solution that came to mind right away.”
Anyway, the most urgent thing is to make sure Princess Fenia doesn’t expel me. Crying, blowing, begging, and appealing to emotions was a handshake during a handshake.
The best thing is that something that doesn’t seem to be expelled from school, and it’s strangely suspicious, but it makes you feel like there’s something there.
It’s embarrassing, but it’s not like it’s dangerous… It’s taking a strange stance.
When I asked what the hell was that, there was nothing else to say. Because it’s not as difficult as you think.

Professor Glast is known among students as ‘the goofy skull rip-off’.
It’s not a big deal for professors to go round and round among the students. However, Professor Glast was a bit harsh. It’s not really cheap, and it’s because it actually looks like a skeleton gourd.
“I will announce the results of the class placement test that I organized yesterday.”
The busiest and cleanest campus in the southeastern part of the island. The Philes Hall auditorium there. After gathering the new students of the Ministry of Magic and sitting them down, Professor Glast was on the podium.
Skinny and pale bone. The light green hair was neatly raised all-white, but because of that, the skull-like face line was more clearly revealed.
“Once you get in within an hour, you can think of it as starting from Class F.”
At those words, the hall began to wait.
“Those who came with a lot of marbles after thinking for a while still have room for improvement. Class E, and there will be others who are assigned to Class D depending on the type of marbles they bring.”
The attitude of casually calling a student a ‘bad guy’ was bad. Among the students of the Ministry of Magic, famous aristocrats, powerful wealthy people, and even royalty were mixed, but with an attitude as if something was wrong.
It was like the rules of the Sylvania Academy. In the face of learning, the status quo was often behind the scenes.
You cannot stand on the same line in your daily life environment or in your friendships, but you must compete fairly when it comes to your studies.
“There are only three Class A students who guarantee the highest level of treatment and education. Lortel, Lucy, and Ziggs. Among them, the chief is Lucida. For the rest, let them check their location on their own from the distributed list. and no rebuttal. More than.”
Only then did the intestines begin to clutter again. Professor Glast brushed off the hem of his robe and tried to come down from the podium.
– ‘What the hell is this! This is unacceptable!’
– ‘Isn’t the grading standard not clear and was it randomly assigned?!’
– ‘Please explain in a way that makes sense! What was the purpose of the exam and what kind of ability were you trying to show?’
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, some students complained. Professor Glast stood on the podium again, as if he had expected the audience’s reaction, and used his voice amplification magic.
“It’s a question paper, why do I have to explain that?”
Everyone was stunned by those words. It was the same with Princess Phenia.
Princess Fenia looked into the list that was given to her. It wasn’t funny.
Class assignment system divided into six levels, from Class F to Class A.
There were only 3 students in Class A, none in Class B and C, and the remaining 300 students were packed tightly in the DEF. Fortunately, Princess Penia had her name in Class D. It was hard to believe that this alone was already in the top 10.
“If you want to take an advanced class, please prove your ability and come up. That’s your job.”
It was more ridiculous than I thought.
Princess Fenia felt contemptible, but then shook her head.
Even before the entrance ceremony, the principal said that his mouth was dry and worn out. Once you have entered the Sylvania Academy, there will be many cases where you will not be treated with the same authority as a princess.
The princess herself was the one who said that she wanted to learn magic on an equal footing at the Sylvania Academy after getting out of the princess’s study room, which was dignified but not substantial.
I was ready to accept this humiliation.
But I don’t understand.
“Still, you can convince me. Sir Glast.”
Then, he parted his lips.
It wasn’t even that loud, but the chatter of the left crowd disappeared at once. Everyone was constantly aware of it in one part of their mind.
The princess of one country is present at this place.
As a student, the importance of his status has been pushed back for a while, but his innate integrity is not easily erased.
“Princess Penny. I am sorry, but this is my education policy.”
cold gaze.
It was also felt by the many vassals who sat next to the emperor. Those who are confident in their abilities and methods. The coldness characteristic of such people was contained in Professor Glast’s gaze.
In the insight of the princess, it was clearly visible. I felt that way so much that I was tired of it now.
“But… if even Princess Penia says so, let’s make an exception for this one time.”
Then, the attitude of willingly disregarding his will was similar.
“However, if I had to say it, I would buy it because it was the reason I brought it up later. In order to prevent that, I’ll let Miss Lucy Meirl, who I decided to lead, explain instead. Miss Lucy?”
Glast called Lucy’s name. But no answer came.
“Lucy? You must be here now, Miss Lucy?”
Again, there was a commotion in the left. The students looked around each other, trying to find out where a student named Lucy was.
“Ugh.”
Only then did the girl sitting in front of Princess Penia’s two seats react.
Outwardly, he looked young. The witch’s hat covering her face was much larger than her head, and it was almost covered with a brim up to her shoulders.
His stature was so dwarfed that the cuffs of the student robes he was wearing were still around.
“Were you sleeping?”
“Ah, yes, I fell asleep…”
The voice itself is drowsy. His eyebrows were droopy, and his impression itself looked tired.
In addition to that, even the appearance of proudly proclaiming that he was asleep was a different kind of a different kind from anyone who looked at it.
“Would you like to come up on the podium for a moment and discuss the intention of this test and its solution?”
At those words, Lucy’s eyebrows trembled and trembled.
It looked like it was annoying to anyone.
“Now… should I?”
At those words, there was tension in the hall. In the face of Professor Glast, who can’t be found cheap, he said openly, ‘It’s annoying’.
However, some of the students who heard the rumors about Professor Glast were not very surprised.
“Yes.”
“Ugh…”
Extremely harsh to those without talent. He is infinitely merciful to the talented.
Professor Glast was such a person.
“Turn it off… Aww…! Aww!”
Tossing the wide-brimmed witch hat on the empty seat next to her and stretching her arms and legs out, she looked like a kitten waking up from a deep sleep.
And when he tried to get up from his seat like a slug, the sloth seemed to be more sincere.
“If you don’t want to be on the podium, you can answer right there. All you have to do is explain how you found the golden orb in ‘Merylda’s Guardian Tree’.”
“Oh yeah? It’s um… it’s over soon.”
Lucy, sitting as if hanging from a chair, started talking as if it was nothing.
“The three qualities of a great wizard who seeks truth as defined by the Archmage Glockt. Sensitivity to magical powers, quick and accurate judgment, and the will to explore. You must have wanted to check it out.”
When you open a magic history textbook, the name of the archmage that appears most prominently, Glockt. The qualities of an Archmage he defined were already quite famous.
“Umm… I just took a nap in the vicinity and woke up around sunset… I just rushed to pick up the magic marbles that were detected around me.”
Watching them keep their mouths shut, the listener loses strength. Still, Professor Glast patiently waited for Lucy’s words to finish.
“Of course, no one else could have figured out the orb’s location but me.”
That seems a bit arrogant to say the least. However, there was no arrogance in Lucy’s attitude when she was saying that.
It’s natural, it’s a tone that speaks of the obvious ‘fact’. Like the sun rising in the east, and a glass falling to the ground breaking, it was as if there was nothing special about it.
The audience already felt a sense of incongruity as Lucy continued to explain while putting up with drowsiness.
it’s genius
It cannot be explained logically. However, those who are born with something innate exude a peculiar strangeness.
