Monster Integration

I had just finished roasting it, or rather my avatar finished roasting it; it is perfect that I want to take a bite off it.

Ashlyn and Nero wanted to do that, and I had to bribe them with something else. I do not want one of the main attractions to look like a half-eaten thing before even guests arrive.

After putting a gigantic tray, I walked to the wine counter and began to take the wines. I had not only taken out my own wine but also others too. I have a rather good collection of wines, Grimms love them as much as we do, and I have found quite a lot of them.

Not all the wine I have found from the Grandmasters is good; many are. Though they are not good as the one I have crafted.

It is very hard to find a good wine, even in ruins; the environment of the ruins spoils them that extremely few could survive, and people of our world are rarely able to create the wine level of the ones found in ruins.

I have brought out the fifty bottles of the arsgasif wine that I had brewed, but half of them are diluted to suit the Masters and leaders. Even the diluted wine packs quite a punch that masters and leaders would have to be careful of it.

”I will leave them in your care,” I said to the golem. There are forty golems in the hall to act as servers; I can’t use humans as the tops we will discuss; even eating and drinking would be too confidential for them to hear.

A few more minutes passed, and finally, the clock ticked to nine; and the teleportation formations of the hall unlocked.

Buzz!

Barely three seconds had passed since the teleportation formation was unlocked when it lit up, and a figure in a red velvet gown materialized in it. 

Seeing her, my eyes heartbeat couldn’t help but freeze up for a moment; she looked enchantingly beautiful; the gown had hugged her body like water, showing every curve and turn of her body that seeing them, a vision of what was inside couldn’t help but flash inside my mind again.

”Teacher,” I greeted, barely able to control my emotions; sometimes, it is very hard to control my emotions when a teacher comes looking like this.

”It seemed like I was the first,” She said as she stepped out of the teleportation formation. “Yes, you are, but others will arrive soon,” I replied.

  “You have made quite a preparations, Micheal; I am sure others will not be able to control themselves when they see such feast,” She said as she looked around. “That is a purpose,” I said.

What we have accomplished today was amazing, and I want to reward them for the hard work they have put in, as things are going to get difficult from today. 

The seventeen were the easiest; it would not be easy to make other breakthroughs into the Grandmasters class and reach the target in just a measly eight months.

Buzz Buzz Buzz

I was just talking to the teacher when suddenly, three teleportation formations lit up; Jim, Grandmistress Charline, and Grandmistress Sethi appeared in the formation with their assistants.

”My god!” Stephan gasped; even though he is a Master class powerhouse and a rich one at that, being an alchemist, he couldn’t help but get amazed seeing the feast that had been laid out and the smell that was coming from them.

It is not just Stephan that is surprised; even Hazel and Jim, who had eaten my cooking many times, couldn’t help but become surprised.

”You really don’t hold back, don’t you,” Jim said as he walked toward me with his stunned assistants. “It is at least I could do to show my appreciation for the hard work you have done,” I replied with a smile.

Snort!

Jim snorted, hearing that “I have seen the new order; you want to work us to death, and this is just a bribe,” he said while waving toward the feast.

”I have put quite an effort to cook all this and even brought out my best wines,” I said; I did deny this being a bribe as it is true. 

The next few months will be challenging, and I hope the pyramid accepts my request for more personal; otherwise, these people, including me, are going to get crushed under the workload we will have.

As we talked, more and more people arrived by the second; at the end of the minute, all the twenty-one people had arrived; the only ones that hadn’t arrived were the council members.

There are nearly two hundred people working on the project, but only these twenty-one people know the full extent of it. The project is extremely important, and the few people who know about it, the better it will be.

I begin to mingle with the crowd as the golems begin to serve Hors d’oeuvres and amuse-bouche with the golden wine. 

”This is really good, Grandmaster Zaar; I have never eaten something this good in my life,” said Danvers as she swallowed another amuse-bouche; she did not even care about the glare her teacher gave her as she took a few more from the tray golem have brought.

”You are really a person with many talents, Grandmaster Zaar; I don’t think there are even five people in the whole world to match you in culinary arts,” praised Grandmaster Sethi; she is also taking bites now and then but is far more elegant in behavior than her student.

”It is a beloved hobby of mine, Grandmistress,” I replied and walked toward other people after talking a few words with her.
