I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy - Chapter 61

Bubble bubble.

A delicious smell filled the outdoors.

“What is this smell?”

“food?”

“…This is my first time smelling it.”

The smell was so strong that passing students stopped when they smelled it.
People gathered one by one, like bees attracted to a sweet smell.

“what…? “It looks quite appetizing when I make it.”

“I know.”

The so-called placebo effect!
The members of ‘Luid’s Cooking Class’ who knew what ingredients were in it actually didn’t think it was that delicious, but as people around them gathered around and started drooling, it started to look really delicious.

‘It’s as planned.’

Of course, it was all Ruid’s plan.
Going a little further, the ultimate goal was to prevent the use of detox magic.

‘Then now…’

Ruid held up a special fork and glared at the tteokbokki.

Tteokbokki without odeng.
There is no doubt that it is very disappointing.
However, the taste will be great.

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

One by one, the students followed suit.

“Yum.”

Ruid carefully bit into the rice cake. Because my mouth was small, I could only eat half of it.

Mew mul mul.

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

“…!”

Ruid opened his eyes wide. Hersi looked at the tteokbokki with awkward eyes.

‘It must be delicious, after all.’

Wouldn’t it be even weirder if something used in torture was added as an ingredient and it tasted good?

I was just about to ask if I was okay.

Ruid, who was staring blankly at the tteokbokki…

Wagu Wagu!

I started inhaling!

‘delicious.’

Ruid realized that the taste of knowledge was scary.

Truly intense flavor!

Of course, it wasn’t as good as the mainland taste, but it was still great.
I intentionally added less red pepper powder, and it was a hit. As a result, it had a strong sweet taste, but it was delicious enough even for a body that is not used to spicy tastes.

However, compared to the food of this world, it is very stimulating.
Ruid, who had been eating tteokbokki for a while, noticed the students’ eyes endlessly looking at him.

“Delicious.”

They had expressions full of doubt. Ruid narrowed his eyes as if he didn’t like it.

“Eat first and then judge.”

When Ruid said that, he had no choice but to grab a piece of rice cake.
I closed my eyes tightly and put it in my mouth.

“…!”

One exclamation point from the students came to mind.

“W-what is this strong taste?”

“This is my first time eating it…”

“It’s delicious, right?”

They opened their eyes wide and looked at each other.
It was so delicious than I expected.
A variety of flavors that cannot be described.
The nobles who considered unicorn meat to be the best delicacy could not come to their senses from the feast of taste felt on the tip of their tongues.

Soon, everyone started inhaling the tteokbokki without saying a word.
Ruid looked at this with satisfaction.

“Hey, over there.”

A student who was watching approached.

“Can I have a bite too…?”

It was Isabella, the librarian. Ruid remembered that she only received her grades and left the classroom.
Ruid’s answer was decided.

“no.”

Of course, it was his intention to leave with only a grade, but shouldn’t there still be a difference between those who take the class and those who don’t?

At the very least, I did not want to create a picture in which the remaining people suffered losses. Isabella became sullen and left.

‘I’m sleepy.’

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

“Hey, Luid.”

Damon, who was wearing a scarf and eating a noble meal, said, “I don’t know when I brought this item.”

“huh?”

Ruid looked at Damon with sleepy eyes.

“I just saw that other lowlifes refused to join the table. Does that include us?”

“…huh?”

Ruid was sleepy and couldn’t understand what was being said. I stretched out and yawned.

“It means that we can’t also share the cooking we cook with others. “This body liked this dish called temptation from hell.”

“You can do that…”

Clap.

“Ah, I fell asleep.”

Hersi was taken aback with his hand outstretched.

Ruid was lying on his side, sleeping peacefully.

It was Ruid who truly lived as he pleased.

**

The cooking class under the guise of Ruid’s magic lecture ended in success.

Not only did the lectures receive very good reviews, but the most talked-about item was definitely tteokbokki.

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

Naturally, the rumor spread with wings – and eventually this phenomenon appeared.

“I’m the successor 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 get to know Prince Ruid… but I didn’t know it would be my best choice of the year.”

Sebring, who attended Ruid’s lecture, was surrounded by children. These were students who were curious about Ruid’s lecture.

“I heard it tastes like the devil tempting me. Is this true?”

“I’m really curious about the name of the food, ‘Temptation from Hell.’”

For your information, the nickname ‘Temptation of Hell’, which Damon created on his own, was more widespread than the official name Tteokbokki.

Sebring raised his index finger with a very serious expression.

“Listen carefully. “If I had to go to hell for eating that food… I would go to hell smiling.”

“Well, that much?”

“One more reason to live? “It’s a good thing I wrote down the recipe.”

“Les, do you have a recipe?”

“Of course, this is a lecture.”

The students surrounding Sebring looked at each other. Eventually, one of the gathered students raised his hand.

“50 gold!”

**

“When will that damn decryption wizard disappear?”

Emperor’s palace.
The nobles could not raise their heads.

“Isn’t it already known that detoxification magic used on ordinary food is not very effective?”

In the Empire, there was a unique profession called ‘Deciphering Wizard’.

Due to the nature of nobles who always use detox magic and eat food, they pay a lot of money to hire a reliable detox magician.

Where can I go after believing in detox magic? Detox magic was only ranked 1st. However, the nobles said they could not trust the level of a 1st rank magician and hired at least a 4th rank wizard.

High-quality personnel called 4th rank magicians are useless and new ones are being released every time.

That was so heartbreaking that there was even a magician who claimed to be a ‘specialist in detoxification magic’ and wasted money.

Moreover, recently, the number of commoners using detox magic to emulate the nobles has increased. As a result, the demand for decryption wizards continued.

As a result, manpower was concentrated on deciphering wizards – and the magic knights who actually needed them were always experiencing a manpower shortage. Some wizards even thought of the Magic Knights as a ‘passover’ to become detox wizards.

Lucius was quite troubled by this matter. However, it is not easy to solve.

“Ah, since it is a long-standing custom… I think it will take a considerable amount of time to change it, Your Majesty.”

There is nothing more scary than dealing with an intangible enemy. No matter how much you claim that ‘detoxification magic for cooking’ is not practical on magical grounds, there is not even a small crack in the tradition that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

“Hey, Lord Tron. That’s true throughout the empire, but what about your family’s antidote wizard? “Will that also take a considerable amount of time?”

“Keu, keuhm.”

Tron lowered his head with an embarrassed face. I couldn’t make any excuses.

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

Lucius was furious.

“Ha, your Majesty. Isn’t it too early to judge that detox magic is ineffective? According to the maxim 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 suppression of detox wizards.”

“Please reconsider!”

The imperial powers are broadly divided into two categories. A pro-Imperial faction that follows the ideology of the first emperor. An aristocrat who pursues utility.

As strong opposing remarks began pouring in from the pro-Imperial camp, which could be said to be his home, Emperor Lucius’ head ached at the thought of having to start this long and tedious debate from the beginning.

The emperor held his forehead and waved his hand.

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

“…Okay, the next item on the agenda is the regular report to the Imperial Academy.”

The emperor’s expression became brighter. 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.’

However, deep inside, I thought that we had to eradicate the ‘decryption wizard’ somehow. Lucius hated the idea of so much manpower and money being wasted on useless things.

“Luid Christopher Windsor is said to have taught the first class, and the response has been very positive.”

Lucius nodded at Ruid’s news and felt even more proud of himself.

“What class was it? Are you saying that you have presented a new paradigm to the magic world this time?”

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

Gulp, aide Michael said while looking at the emperor’s eyes.

“Cooking… they said it was practical training.”

“…Cooking?”

“yes. “I’m trying something new by combining magic and cooking… but the rule is not to use detox magic.”

“What?”

Lucius’ eyes widened.

“Is this really true?”

The Duke of Windsor, who cared a lot about Luid’s health, would not have allowed him to eat without using detox magic.

That means…

‘You read my intention and moved arbitrarily.’

The emperor’s eyes were filled with emotion.

‘It’s frustrating because it bites me here and there, but it always helps me.’

Where is this wonderful nephew?
The emperor’s face was colored with a happy smile.

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

“Yes that’s right. From what I heard, the recipe I gave that day is being sold at a very high price.”

“Hoo, really? Of course you saved it, right?”

“I managed to airlift one.”

The aide politely handed the paper to the emperor.

“tteokbokki? “That’s an unfamiliar name.”

“It is also called the temptation of hell. “It tastes like the devil is at his beck and call.”

“Oh, that’s why Pianense’s tears came into it. Interesting. I need to try this right now. Would you like to try it too?”

‘My nephew helped me, but I need to use it right away. Rather than banning it, it’s about giving reasons not to use detox magic. That’s a really clever idea.’

The nobles bowed their heads as if they were grateful.

The emperor said with a satisfied expression.

“Tell the chef to make it just like this. “I’ll give you 30 minutes.”

“Well, that, that.”

Michael broke out in a cold sweat.

“Why are you doing that?”

“S-sorry. “We have run out of stock of ‘Pianense’s Tears,’ the most necessary ingredient in the recipe.”

“…what?”

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

I knew I wasn’t using it much because it didn’t fit the current torture trend. It must be rotting in the corner of the treasure trove?

“…Prince Damon.”

Michael bit his lip.

The Emperor, unable to understand the situation for a moment, blinked.

Soon, my face turned bright red.

He said, barely suppressing the shouting that was boiling up from his danjeon.

“…call Damon.”
