Chapter 290 – Episode 290 – Academy (23)

Episode 290 – Academy (23)

Academy dormitory living room. There a female elf got down on her knees.

The girl with the silver short hair was Sylvia. Her atmosphere was quite different from what I saw in the arena.

The image of her dedicating herself to evil and killing monsters has disappeared. She wore clean street clothes instead of blood-soaked armor. She looked good in beige neat pants and a white shirt.

“Hello. “Siwoo.”

She bowed politely. She put her hands together neatly and bowed her head.

“I send greetings to my benefactor. “Thank you so much for saving her life.”

Siwoo scratched his cheek. He said, comforting Amelia, who was pouting next to her.

“Um… Did you come all the way here to say thank you? “There’s no need to go this far.”

“No. If she hadn’t been my benefactor, something terrible would have happened to me there. She wouldn’t have been able to die peacefully. “She can’t just get away with that favor.”

Even as I talked about my life, my tone of voice was consistent. I barely felt any emotional turmoil.

‘It’s a bit… Like a machine.’

It felt like a cold rock. Emotions seemed faint. I could imagine the harsh training she must have undergone.

She spoke jokingly to Sylvia, who was always serious.

“So you want to return the favor?”
“Yes. That’s right.”

I said it as a joke, but it was true. A simple, non-playful voice continued.

“Actually, what I’m best at is fighting monsters. However, that talent would be of no use to his benefactor. You are so strong… So I wondered what I could do to help.”

Sylvia said, bowing her head.

“After much thought, she decided to serve,” She said. “If you accept it, I will serve you for the rest of my life.”

“···Forever?”
“Yes. So, please feel free to speak.”

Even though I said I would sacrifice my whole life, I did not waver. But it wasn’t a lie. She was truly a loyal female knight.

“Uh.. Um.. What about the paladin?”

“Fortunately, the saint gave permission. Instead of opposing it, they really liked it. “He pushed her shoulders, saying that a human being must repay the favor.”

I glanced at Amelia’s gaze. Her cheeks were puffy. She furrowed her eyebrows and crossed her arms.

Her sullen expression made her think about something.

I hope so for a while. ‘Ah!’ Said Amelia with an exclamation.

“···Wait. “Are you good at cooking?”
“Yes?”

“He said he would wait on Siwoo. Then you should at least know how to cook.”

She was a little different from the usual Amelia.

Her shoulders tightened. The way she haughtily crossed her arms and looked down…Like a mother-in-law evaluating her daughter-in-law.

“You mean cooking…? By the way, Amelia, you also feel comfortable talking to me. She appears to be close to her benefactor. “I will treat her as my wife.”

“Yes? “Really…?”

Amelia’s guard suddenly relaxed. She was taken aback by a few words. Even the corners of her mouth went up. She suddenly came to her senses from her confusion.

“Well, I still have to cook!”

*

Sylvia, wearing her apron, brandished her kitchen knife.

Da da da da!

The sharp blade danced on the cutting board. A rhythmic sound echoed through the kitchen. The onions were torn into pieces at an incredible speed. The trim was completed in just a few seconds.

“Uh…?”

Amelia’s mouth opened wide. She blankly watched Sylvia cooking.

Da da da da da da!

The kitchen knife moves at an invisible speed. Various vegetables were cut into bite-sized pieces, and even the meat was cut into consistent sizes.

Amelia’s arms relaxed. Her shoulders, which had risen arrogantly, fell down.

“Ugh.. You’re better than me..”

Her spirit was completely defeated. If she had had her tail, it would have been limp. Her breasts, which had been proudly spread out, also became saggy. Still, it was a huge breast milk.

He smiled and hugged her.

“It’s okay because Amelia is cute.”
“···Really?”

“Then. “It’s so soft.”
“Tsk.. Go, it tickles..”

He hugged her side. When she was stroking her warm lower abdomen.

I flinch. Sylvia’s kitchen knife stopped.

In less than a second. Her eyes glanced this way.

“···.”

She looked away and focused on her cooking again.

How much of a joke did you have with Amelia?

Grumble!

Flames swirled around the round wok. The cooking ended with a brilliant flame.

The fries were delivered neatly placed on a plate.

“It is complete. Today I tried it Chinese style. “It’s a dish called Kkanpunggi among humans.”
“And···!”

Amelia swallowed her saliva. She even clapped her hands, exclaiming her admiration.

The woman she was so fond of stopped.

“Ah.. Ma, that’s right. “I have to evaluate the cooking.”

The rounded eyebrows became stiff again. He looked at the food being prepared with a serious expression.

She twitched the tip of her nose and slumped her shoulders.

“Hey. “It smells good.. Sylvia, you’re a good cook..”

The golden fries were shiny. It was delicious to see the steam rising.

‘That sounds plausible…?’

I asked, picking up the chopsticks.

“You must have been busy living as a Holy Knight. “When did you learn to cook?”
“I learned it yesterday. “There are a lot of good videos on the Internet.”

The chopsticks that were heading towards the food stopped. I heard strange words.

“Yesterday?”

Amelia didn’t stop, as if she hadn’t heard it. With her depressed face, he put the kimchi in her mouth.

“I’ll try it first..”

Mumbling.

Amelia’s cheeks swelled. She pursed her lips and made a snoring noise.

“Uuuh…?”

Her jaw, which had been moving at a steady pace, gradually slowed down. Her brow furrowed and she tilted her head.

How many more times did I chew it? Her eyes fluttered wildly.

“Ugh..”

Amelia’s expression gradually turned into a tearful one.

She couldn’t do either this or that and just rolled her eyes. She couldn’t spit it out and started chewing it heavily. She squeezed her eyes shut and swallowed.

“W-Water..! No, cola..!”

To her urgently drinking her fizzy drink. Sylvia, who was standing politely, asked.

“How was it?”
“Uh? “Well, that is…”

“Did you happen to miss her? If something is lacking, I would like you to tell me honestly. “Only then will there be progress.”

Amelia said while looking at her.

“Oh, I taste it..”

The fingertips of her android-like silver-haired elf twitched.

“···It didn’t taste good. Sorry.”
“Oh, no. Sorry..”

Amelia twisted her fingers. Where did her attitude towards her daughter-in-law go? She felt so sorry for the harsh criticism that she was about to die.

‘Anyway.’

She laughed and took a bite. I wondered why she did that because it tasted so bad.

Crispy.

I chewed the golden fries that were in my mouth. The batter crumbled and the juice flowed out.

“···.”

It’s a taste I’ve never experienced before.

Sweet, salty and sour. The subtle imbalance made the tip of my tongue tingle. The hidden aftertaste continued. Exotic spices hit my tongue. It was truly perfect.

‘Unbelievable···.’

Superhumans who have awakened their magic power are sensitive. Moreover, his physical control was also different from that of criminals.

So there was a time when I thought everyone was good at cooking. But at this moment. I realized that wasn’t true.

Gulp.

I wanted to spit it out, but I forced myself to swallow it. I couldn’t do that in front of Sylvia, who was watching politely with my hand on her belly button.

“Is it possible that your benefactor doesn’t like her?”
“Uh, um..”

Silvia A look of puzzlement filled her face.

“Do you not like it that much? “I followed the recipe, but it’s strange.”

“···Did you really follow the recipe?”

She paused. She tilted her head as if remembering something and said:

“I changed it only slightly. “I liked the flavor, so I added a few herbs, and I thought it was lacking in protein, so I added some protein powder.”

“···Right.”

“Hmm.. I guess adding a little too much sugar may have been the reason for the failure. Please tell us what is lacking and we will correct it. Next time, I will definitely treat you with a more delicious dish.”

Amelia next to her flinched. It was the same here. A sentence lingered in her mouth. She forced herself to swallow the words that rose up in her throat.

She spoke as kindly as she could.

“···No. Everyone is good at something different, so there’s no need to put too much effort into it. “If you want to return the favor to me, the cooking is done, so please do me another favor.”

“Yes? Which···?”

***

She asked Silvia to train her lovers.

They had too little practical experience compared to their level. The world was dangerous, so self-defense was necessary. I wanted to help you protect your body.

‘It’s hard for me to teach everything.’

Training must be rough and rigorous. In particular, sparring must be accompanied by pain to be effective. But it was difficult to treat her lovers that way.

‘If it’s Sylvia, it might be possible.’

The sight of her fighting in her arena was fighting spirit itself.

The scene of her picking out the monster’s brain with her bare hands came to mind. She was a combat expert who had experienced numerous battles. She believed that she would teach her lovers to be strict.

When you think about it that far. A shout was heard.

“Oh my god. Are you tired already? “Keep running.”
“Ugh..”

Amelia ran outside the training ground. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and ran down.

“Haaaaa…

Sylvia said firmly.

“It’s not possible. Never walk. “It’s okay to slow down, so keep running.”
“Ugh..”

Amelia, who was panting, continued running. Even though she stumbled, I listened to her.

How many laps did she run?

“Now stop. I’ll take a break for one minute. Rest while standing, not sitting.”
“Ah..”

He placed his hands on her knees and caught her breath. Sylvia, who was looking at her intently, said.

“She is in really bad shape. Are you even exercising? “You don’t have any muscles.”

“Woah, exercise..? “Why do you practice magical power often?”

“No matter how much of a wizard you are, you can’t just practice magical power. Ultimately, everything is based on the body. “Can’t you feel the magic power struggling to support your messed up body?”

Amelia, who was pursing her lips, avoided her gaze.

“But I don’t like exercising…”

“I’ll make you some nutritious food after I’m done. “Please work hard.”

Amelia’s face turned pale.

“W-nutritional food?! Well, let’s just buy it and eat it… Or I’ll do it myself.”

“···You want to cook? It’s insulting to think there’s any energy left for that. “Run twenty more laps.”

“Ugh.”

Amelia, who was in tears, started running again.

She looked at it and took out her smart phone. She was planning to call Kang Hyeon-ah as well. She also lacked her practical experience.

Click.. Click.. Click.

Before the phone rang a few times. A haughty voice was heard.

-Who are you?
“It’s me.”

-It’s me? I have no idea who it is. I’m busy. Can I hang up?

The voice was harsh. He seemed a little angry.

“I’m sorry Hyeon-ah. I’ve had a lot of work to do these past few days. “Do you have time now?”

It was only after I apologized that my grumpy tone eased.

-Well… I’ll check the schedule. Wait.

There was a sound of something being rummaged around. After a while, she spoke.

-Huh. If you overdo it, it will be okay for a while. Do you miss me that much?

Her arrogant behavior made me laugh. He had a cocky attitude towards his master when he was in heat.

“We are currently in the academy’s personal training room. Come here.”

-Training room…? Why are you there all of a sudden?

I glanced away. I saw Amelia crawling on the ground, panting.

“Let’s practice together.”

-Hmm? Let’s train in the training room? Anyway, it’s weird. Okay, I’ll be there soon.
