486 Tasting The Food Of Other Countries & Academy Classes

Looking at the new Spear really made me feel an uncomfortable aura spreading into my hand. Merely touching it made me felt like the spear was asking to be feed. It has become even more gluttonous than ever before. At the end, I had to quickly bring out several carcasses I had stored and feed them to the spear. Hendrick buffed it so much it was asking more than I could provide right now, what a pain.
“Hendrick, you idiot, did you seriously just made the spear Mythic Grade?! I didn’t even gave you enough Materials!” I reprimanded him.
“AHAHAHAHA! Of course Master! The best for my lord!” Laughed Hendrick, as if I was praising him.
“I am not praising you…” I sighed, walking outside the room, and quickly looking at Evelyn.

“I… wanted to apologize for the awkward moment before. You see, I have just begun working as an instructor and teacher and… I was honestly very nervous.” Sighed Evelyn. “I want to be a good teacher, but I overdid it.”
“See? You only had to just open up a bit more instead of acting so strict over nothing.” I sighed. “Well, let’s go eat, teacher.”
Scarlet smiled as I called her “Teacher” feeling suddenly happy.
“Sure, my dear student! You’re a pretty promising one, Blake, let me tell you that. But that doesn’t mean I’ll go easy on you! I shall be strict so you grow up to be a responsible man!” She began babbling about already, going back to her previous self.
“Yeah, yeah~” I shrugged as I heard her talk, quickly joining with everyone for some dinner.
The dinner they were serving was sure exotic, nothing we had ever eaten before. They were serving something named “Curry” which was made from spices brought from the Elven Continent and the Dwarven Continent.
There was the Yellow Seafood Curry of the Elves, which had small shrimp and fish meat, and then the Red Spicy Curry, which had hot spices, it wasn’t for everyone, but the spiciness made it somewhat addicting, especially when combined with fluffy, white-colored boiled grains, named rice.
“This Curry thing is delicious! It is so creamy and flavorful! But the red one’s way too hot! Ugh, I need water!” Erika sticked her tongue out of her mouth and then drank a whole cup of cold water. “Pwaahhh…”
“Hahaha, you’re not really good with spicy stuff, aren’t you? Yeah, curry’s not made for girls.” Said Chris with a nod, eating the red curry and going for his third plate already.
“Hoh? Bold of you to say that, young Chris, Spicy Curry is my favorite meal.” Evelyn said with blazing flare coming out of her eyes, she had finished her plate in time record.
“Yeah, what’s with that about girls not liking spicy food?” Asked Elizabeth, she had also finished her second plate.
“Geh…” Chris ignored them as he drank water once his face grew red of eating so many spices.
I personally enjoyed both of them quite well.
“They said this was the food Hero Allen brought to this world which he made after combining the ingredients he gathered all around Spiritias!” Eric said.
“He brought to this world?” I wondered.
“Yeah, it is said that he had told his closest friends and family that he came from another world on his last years of life, and that he had the memories of having lived a different life in a world named Earth…” Said Eric. “It was recorded in history!”
“I see…” I rubbed my chin.
So Hero Allen, the first Summoner and the one that apparently brought the “Spirit Era” to the world after sealing all Demon Towers, which made people begin to be born with Spirit Orbs was from another world, a reincarnated person like me, perhaps.
Maybe this food is from his own world, Earth. I guess that’s why they said that “he brought this food to this world” or something. Though even as much as it is recorded about him, the true powers and logic behind his Summoning powers and also the Spirit Orbs everyone is born with still remains a mystery.
“An interesting story.” I said with a nod. “Anyways, this food’s good. I have never eaten this before, is there a variety of food in the academy?”
Erika suddenly looked at Evelyn with shiny eyes.
“Y-Yes, well, there is!” Evelyn said. “But food’s not really what you should be caring for…”
“It is the most important thing! Without good food how do you hope to fight all day, miss Evelyn?!” Erika asked with a cheeky smile.
“That’s… well, I really do enjoy my food too, yeah.” Scarlet smiled, trying to grow closer to us by not acting so strict.
“Yeah! I hope there are sweets.” Said Erika.
“If there aren’t any I’m leaving.” Said Elizabeth.
“T-There are! Don’t worry, the cafeteria always has a wide variety of foods of the highest quality. Most of our students are all very talented nobles, so their palates are varied as they are refined, we need to offer them good food.” Said Scarlet.
“Teacher! Is there a library? And what about an Alchemy Club or a place to do Alchemy?” Eric wondered.
“Oh that? Well of course! We sport a wide library with countless of history books, mathematics, language, arithmetic, magic theory, and even magic spell books, and skill compendiums. There are even books that teach students how to acquire certain skills by doing certain actions. They helped me learn many useful skills and spells!” Said Evelyn happily.
“Oooh! That sounds amazing!” Eric began to fantasize about drowning in a sea of books, probably.
“And about Alchemy? Don’t worry those adept at alchemy can join the Alchemy Classes, there are also Crafting Classes, Sewing Classes, Smithing Classes, and more, all of them done by special and amazingly talented teachers of each field. Production-classes are very important for us, as they can produce items that help us in the long run. Teaching them is part of our duty as well.”
The Academy seemed more and more interesting now.
