Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

61 – Ruid’s Cooking Class (3)

Bubble.

A delicious smell filled the outdoors.

“What smell is this?”

“Food?”

“… It’s the first smell I’ve ever smelled.”

The smell was so strong that the students passing by stopped at the smell.

People gathered one by one like bees attracted by a sweet smell.

“Oh… ? It’s pretty appetizing when you make it.”

“Sure.”

The so-called placebo effect!

The members of ‘Louid’s Cooking Class’ who knew what ingredients were in it actually didn’t think it was that tasty, but when the people around them gathered and drooled, it started to look very delicious.

‘As planned.’

Of course, all of that was Ruid’s plan.

Going a little further, the ultimate goal was to stop using detoxification magic.

‘Then now… ‘

Ruid was holding a special fork and glared at the tteokbokki.

Tteokbokki without oden.

It must be very regrettable.

However, the taste will be great.

Ruid picked up a piece of rice cake with a fork and started blowing on it.

The students followed Ruid one by one.

“Yum.”

Ruid carefully bit off the rice cake. She had a small mouth and could only eat half of it.

Filth.

Ruid savored the taste with the mind of a sommelier drinking 58,000-year-old wine.

“… !”

Louis opened her eyes wide. Hersh looked at the tteokbokki with her awkward eyes.

‘It must be delicious.’

I put in ingredients used for torture, but wouldn’t it be weird if it was delicious?

He was about to ask if he was okay.

Ruid, who was staring blankly at the tteokbokki……

Wow!

Began to inhale!

‘It’s delicious.’

Ruid realized that the taste he knew was frightening.

Truly intense taste!

Of course it was less than the taste of the mainland, but it was good enough.

I deliberately added less red pepper powder, and that was a hit. As a result, the sweet taste was strong, but it was delicious enough even for a body not accustomed to spicy taste.

However, compared to the food of this world, it is very stimulating.

After eating tteokbokki for a while, Ruid noticed the students staring at him.

“Delicious.”

Their expressions were full of doubt. Louis narrowed her eyes as if he didn’t like her.

“Eat first and judge.”

When Louis said that, she had no choice but to pick up a piece of rice cake.

She closed her eyes tightly and put it in her mouth.

“… !”

One exclamation mark from the students came to mind.

“What, what is this intense taste?”

“It’s the first time I’ve tasted it… “

“Isn’t it delicious?”

They looked at each other with their eyes wide open.

It was so much more delicious than I thought.

Various flavors that cannot be described.

The nobles, who regarded unicorn meat as the best delicacy at best, could not come to their senses at the feast of flavor felt at the tip of their tongues.

Soon, everyone started inhaling the tteokbokki without saying a word.

Ruid looked at it with satisfaction.

“Me, over there.”

A student who was watching approached.

“Can I have a bite too… ?”

It was Isabella, the librarian. Ruid remembered that she had just taken her grade and walked out of her classroom.

Ruid’s answer was fixed.

“No.”

Of course, he intended to leave after receiving only credits, but shouldn’t there be a difference between those who take classes and those who don’t?

At least, I didn’t want to make a picture where the remaining people would lose money. Isabella went back sullen.

‘I’m sleepy.’

After eating about five rice cakes, I felt full. Louis dozed off on the spot.

“Hey, Ruid.”

Damon, who was eating an aristocratic meal wearing a scarf, said when he got it.

“Huh?”

Ruid looked at Damon with her sleepy eyes.

“I just saw that the other lowly people refused to join us. Is that including us?”

“… Huh?”

Louis was so sleepy that he couldn’t understand her words at once. She yawned.

“It means that we shouldn’t share the food we cook with others. This body liked the dish called Temptation from Hell.”

From noble mtl dot com

“You can do that…… “

Cheeky duck.

“Oh, I fell asleep.”

Hersy was bewildered with his hand outstretched.

Louise was lying on her side, curled up in her, sleeping soundly.

Ruid really lived as he pleased.

**

Her cooking class under the guise of Louis de magic lecture ended in success.

Not only did the lectures get very good reviews, but undoubtedly, tteokbokki became the hot topic.

Ruid cooked and ate outdoors. It was the backyard of the main building, and it was the place with the most floating population.

Of course, rumors spread with wings- and then this phenomenon appeared.

“I’m the heir anyway, so I don’t need a letter of recommendation, so I’m not interested in the store. I just heard it because I wanted to be friends with Prince Louis… I never thought it would be my best choice of the year.”

Sebring attended Louie de’s lecture and was surrounded by her children. The students were curious about Ruid’s lecture.

“I heard that the devil tempts the taste, but is it true?”

“I wonder if the name of the food is ‘Temptation from Hell’.”

For your reference, the nickname ‘Temptation from Hell’, which Damon arbitrarily coined, was more widespread than the official name, Tteokbokki.

Sebring raised his index finger with a very serious face.

“Listen carefully. If you have to go to hell for that food…… I will fall into Hell laughing.”

“That, that much?”

“Has one more reason to live? It’s good that you recorded the recipe.”

“Le, do you have a recipe?”

“Of course, this is a lecture.”

Students surrounding Sebring noticed each other. Eventually, one of the gathered students raised his hand.

“50 Gold!”

“When will that decryption wizard disappear?”

The Emperor’s Presence.

The nobles could not raise their heads.

“Isn’t it a known fact that the detoxification magic used on ordinary food isn’t very useful!”

In the Empire, there was an unusual job called ‘detoxification wizard’.

Due to the nature of nobles who always use detoxification magic and eat food, they pay a lot of money to hire a trustworthy detoxification wizard.

Where are you going to sleep trusting in detoxification magic? Detoxification magic was only 1st level. However, the nobles hired at least a 4th tier or higher, saying that they couldn’t believe the level of a 1st tier wizard.

The 4th tier magician, a high-level manpower, is useless and leaks every time.

That was mind-boggling, even to the point that there were wizards who swept money away saying that they were ‘specialists in the detoxification magic world’.

Moreover, recently, more and more commoners are using detoxification magic to follow the aristocrats. As a result, the demand for decryption wizards never ceased.

As a result, manpower was concentrated in the detoxification wizards – the magic knights who needed it were always suffering from a shortage of manpower. Some wizards even thought of the magic knights as a ‘pass through’ to detoxification wizards.

Lucius was having a lot of trouble with this. But it’s not easy to solve.

“Ah, it seems to be an old custom… It will take a considerable amount of time to change, Your Majesty.”

There is nothing more terrifying than dealing with an insubstantial enemy. No matter how magically grounded that ‘detoxification magic used in cooking’ is not practical, even a small crack in the tradition that has been handed down for hundreds of years does not go.

“Hey Sir Tron. That’s the case throughout the empire, but what about the detox wizard in your family right now? Will that take too long?”

“Kuh, kuh hmm.”

Tron lowered his head with a puzzled face. He couldn’t make any excuses.

“I heard that the only nobles in the empire are those with square heads!”

Lucius was angry to the point of his head.

“Ha, ha, your majesty. Isn’t it too early to judge that the detoxification magic is ineffective? According to the proverb of His Majesty the first emperor, ‘If you eat meat, your health will inevitably deteriorate. All meat in the world that does not use detoxification magic is harmful meat.” Please, reconsider the oppression of the decryption mage.”

“Please reconsider!”

There are two main types of power in the empire. A pro-Hwang faction that follows the ideology of the first emperor. An aristocratic faction seeking practicality.

When strong objections began pouring out from the camp of the pro-Hwang faction, which could be said to be his living room, Emperor Lucius had a headache at the thought of having to start this long and tedious argument from the beginning.

Clutching his forehead, the emperor waved his hand.

“All right. Let’s move on to the next agenda item.”

“… C, the next item is the regular report of the Imperial Academy.”

The emperor’s expression brightened. The academy is the future of the empire. Hearing about the future is always exciting and enjoyable.

‘I’ll have to change it slowly, very slowly.’

Even so, I thought that I had to eradicate the ‘decryption wizard’ somehow. Lucius terribly hated the waste of manpower and money on useless things.

“It is said that Louis de Christopher Windsor gave his first class, which was very well received.”

Lucius nodded at the news of Ruid, feeling proud of himself for no reason.

“What class was it? Do you say that this time also presented a new paradigm to the magical academia?”

“…… That said, the content of the class is a bit unusual.”

Gulp, Assistant Michael looked at the Emperor and said.

“Cooking… They said it was practice.”

“… Cooking?”

“Yes. I’m trying something new by combining magic and cooking… It is said that the rule is not to use detoxification magic.”

“What?”

Lucius’s eyes widened.

“Is it really true?”

I don’t know anything else, but the Duke of Windsor, who terribly cares about Ruid’s health, wouldn’t allow me to eat without using detoxification magic.

That means…….

‘You read my intentions and acted on your own.’

The emperor’s eyes were colored with emotion.

‘I’m tired of not being able to bite me here and there, but you’re always helpful to me.’

Where can I find such an admirable nephew?

The emperor’s face was colored with a happy smile.

“If the reaction is good, that means it was successful.”

“Yes… That’s right. From what I hear, the recipe I gave that day is being traded at a very high price.”

“Ho-oh, is it? Of course you saved it, right?”

“I managed to airlift one.”

The aide politely handed out the paper to the emperor.

“Tteokbokki? That’s an unfamiliar name.”

“It is also called the Temptation of Hell. It tastes like demons beckoning.”

“Oh, that’s why Pianance’s tears were included. Interesting. I need to try this right now Would you like to eat too?”

‘My nephew gave me strength, but I have to use it right away. Rather than banning it, it was to create a reason not to use detoxification magic. That’s a wonderful idea.’

The nobles bowed their heads as if they were ecstatic.

The emperor said with a satisfied expression.

“Tell the chef to make it the same as this one. I’ll give you 30 minutes.”

“That, that, that.”

Michael broke out in a cold sweat.

“Why is that?”

“I’m sorry. The most necessary ingredient in the recipe, ‘Tears of Pianence’, has run out of stock.”

“… What?”

The emperor made an absurd expression. Why did it fall off?

I knew that I didn’t use it well because it didn’t fit the torture trend these days. It must be rotting in the corner of the treasure chest.

“…… Prince Damon.”

Michael bit his lip.

Unable to comprehend the situation for a moment, the emperor blinked his eyes.

Soon, his face turned red.

He said, barely suppressing the screams that boiled from the short circuit.

“…… Call Damon.”
