Magic Cooking is the first official episode of the Academic Schoolhouse Stories comic series. It was created by MrFish, the same author who wrote the pilot comic, Penny's Creation.
The comic was uploaded on Discord on March 29, 2024.
==Plot==
Pepperjack glances at a wall clock as text next to it appears saying "time to eat." He then becomes worried as he realizes he might not have sufficient time to prepare a meal. Meanwhile, Magic Man and Baldi stroll through the school, admiring the beauty of the day, until they spot Pepperjack looking troubled. Sensing his distress, they follow him to the kitchen and ask him about the issue. Pepperjack explains his time constraint in cooking for the children. Desperate for a solution, he turns to Magic Man and asks if he knew how to cook. To Pepperjack's relief, Magic Man shares that his wife had taught him the art of cooking.
As a knock echoes through the door, Baldi's becomes curious, wondering aloud about the unexpected visitor. Just then, The "Eggcelent" Guy makes his entrance, offering a box of fresh eggs to the crew. Gratefully accepting the gift, the crew contemplates what culinary creation to whip up. The specifics of their meal remains a mystery as of now.
In a surprising turn, Magic Man declares his intention to bake a cake. Despite Pepperjack's concern over the time constraints, Magic Man confidently takes out his wand, conjuring a cake out of thin air. Baldi and Pepperjack are amazed by the magic trick that occurred. Grateful for Magic Man's magical intervention, Pepperjack expresses his thanks.
Pepperjack tells the crew they need to feed the children. Baldi and Magic Man agree to join him at the cafeteria, with Baldi keeping the cake a secret for now. Later, after a successful meal, Baldi suggests sharing the cake with the children. But before they can grab it, everyone catches Xavis eating a piece and scold him for doing so.
