Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 98

Erina's popularity is still higher than that of idol girls, and it seems like that's a done deal.

"Next, the headmaster of the Friendship Totsuki Academy will give a speech."

The announcement from the idol girl was like a blast of cold air, instantly sweeping through the student crowd and freezing the expressions on their faces!

Pendragon found it fascinating watching from behind the scenes; the headmaster's intimidating presence was truly a terrifying force in the students' eyes.

"Please come to the stage, Mr. Senzaemon Nikiri!"

This was only to be expected, as a tall and imposing old man with completely white hair and beard appeared on the podium under the fearful gaze of hundreds of students.

The almost tangible aura even made some students tremble, especially the sharp scar that ran through his right eye, which gave him a "fierce" and "intimidating" feeling.

"She is a student of Totsuki Culinary Academy... no! The embodiment of culinary authority in the Japanese culinary world..."

"This is no longer at the level of a mafia boss!"

"He is the Demon King! The Demon King of Gourmet Food!"

The students' voices trembled under this atmosphere. If Erina's absence before was just whispering, then with the arrival of the headmaster, the audience began to panic.

"Hmm, mental power?"

Miss Rin was trimming Pendragon's nails with a sharp knife when she heard the commotion among the students in the auditorium and glanced curiously at the podium.

Then they discovered that this old man was no ordinary person; he actually possessed a magician-like spiritual power!

Although it is very weak, it is precisely because he possesses this extraordinary power that he can create a tangible aura that suppresses the students' minds when he unleashes his full power.

For most students in the auditorium, besides the psychological suggestion that "the commander-in-chief is a demon king" accumulated over the past three years of education, whether actively or passively—

The oppressive aura emanating from Senzaemon Shigekiri, which seems to reach right to the heart, is the foundation for creating that tangible aura!

Despite the intimidating aura, the old man began to speak. Although his methods weren't sophisticated, he played them very skillfully and adeptly.

Just like in the story, the story begins with a stern warning followed by a triumphant one. After describing the daunting road ahead, the speaker points to them and declares, "You are the winner," giving them an unequivocal affirmation that instantly fills the students in the auditorium, who had previously felt weak and unsteady, with positive motivation and high spirits.

"above."

After the headmaster finished her speech, she left immediately. The idol girl continued to host the ceremony, and Pendragon and the other students, who were sitting backstage, came on stage one by one to be introduced as transfer students.

The boys, who had been full of energy because of the leader's actions, suddenly exploded!

"Such a beautiful and charming girl has appeared in the world!"

"Her beauty surpasses even that of flowers; she is simply the perfect woman!"

"There are three girls whose looks are comparable to Lady Erina's!"

"I could die happy if I could just go on a date with any of them for a day!"

……

The boys, who were initially disappointed by the absence of their dream girl, now had flushed faces, just like after eating Rin's cooking. Some of them with vivid imaginations had already started daydreaming.

As for the red-haired spiky guy who was also a transfer student, he was completely ignored.

Ignoring three stunningly beautiful women to focus on one guy, he must be gay.

At Lady Rin's request, Pendragon is going out in women's clothing today. The dress that Father Mapo gave her last year is too big for her anyway, so it fits Pendragon perfectly.

When I introduced myself, I looked down from the podium and saw a few pretty girls. It was a huge loss that I didn't come out dressed as a man, otherwise I could have charmed at least a few of them.

Miss Rin's speech was also very simple, because the old man had already said everything he could say, so what could she, a new transfer student, possibly say? She simply said that the scenery here was amazing, the students at the school were all talented, and they spoke so well, and she loved the place.

Compared to the ordinary yet amazing speeches of Pendragon and the other two, Yukihira, who was last in line, fully utilized his passive ability to taunt others as the protagonist.

Pendragon watched from behind the scenes as the crowd in the auditorium surged with anger, shouting to kill him, with books, notebooks, and other personal electronic devices such as cell phones being thrown onto the stage.

Yukihira, on the other hand, seemed completely unaware of what he had done, and casually walked backstage to greet Rin and the others.

"Although it's a bit rushed, let's start assigning classrooms and beginning teaching today."

Pendragon and Rin followed Lily hand in hand. After the ceremony, the students who had just entered the high school immediately threw themselves into their studies.

Because they face the constant risk of being expelled, apart from a very few exceptionally confident students with outstanding grades, most students don't have much time to focus on anything else and are busy doing their own thing.

Even beauties like Pendragon only received some furtive glances and whispered discussions, but no one dared to strike up a conversation.

In this respect, we should thank that old man.

Because they were all transfer students, Pendragon and his friends were also assigned to Yukihira's class.

It's alright, he cooks pretty well too.

Despite the piercing gazes his classmates gave him, he seemed completely oblivious.

"Cook the dishes according to this group assignment today, understand?"

The students were divided into pairs, and Pendragon put Lily and Rin together so that they wouldn't crash.

As for herself, she was left out after refusing Xiaohui's request to team up, and was placed in a group by herself, which the teacher had no objection to.

Rejected, the girl with the blue braids could only stare at the murderous gazes around her before approaching her original partner, feeling utterly hopeless.

P.S.: My parents called and video-chatted today, complaining that I've gained weight. So, I cleverly turned the camera to my "Happy Beast" (a nickname for a chubby, happy person) and video-chatted with him for a long time, lol.

Chapter 166 New Nippori

Chapter 166

These people are actually giving Yukihira more attention than they are giving me. It's really... typical of Shin-Nippori.

The four transfer students had only submitted their measurements and had not yet received their school uniforms, so their appearance was different from the others.

However, the philosophical atmosphere in this classroom is really strong, with the proportion of boys far exceeding that of girls.

"The uniforms for the Totsuki Internship are pretty good," Pendragon nodded, looking at the profile of Xiaohui with her blue twin tails.

It looks completely harmless, which brings great comfort.

Keep in mind that they are only in their first year of high school, but Erina, Secretary Koko, and Xiaohui don't look like girls their age at all!

Even if Rin, the young lady, graduated from high school, her class wouldn't be as large as theirs. (Facepalm)

"Lily-chan's words..."

Pendragon's mind was preoccupied with things that girls would care about, and his gaze involuntarily drifted to Lily, who was in the same group as Rin.

Then I almost blurted out "Holy crap!"

Because they've been together every day for the past year, Pendragon hadn't paid much attention to this until he consciously glanced at it just now and noticed!

Lily has grown up too! And she's definitely grown up better than Rin!

Rin was supposed to be a size bigger than Lily, but now it seems like Lily is the one who's bigger, and she's grown quite a bit taller, maybe three or four centimeters, almost catching up to Rin.

No wonder I have to look up a bit when I see Lily lately; I hadn't really noticed before as I got used to her getting taller.

This Lily isn't the blue ahoge from a parallel universe. Her body hasn't stopped developing, and with ample nutrition, she should be developing in the direction of black and white gunslinger lion king, with a very promising future.

Yes, that's a very promising future.

"Look here!"

An older man in a professor's uniform walked up to the stove, which was located where the blackboard was.

Good morning, young apprentices.

Her well-maintained blonde hair was styled with hair wax and neatly combed back, creating a meticulous slicked-back look that made her appear very serious.

With his sharp eyes, hooked nose, and face full of deep wrinkles that looked like they were carved from a chisel, he exuded a cold and ruthless aura.

The professor's arrival caused many students' faces to change. They quickly stood up straight to respond to his greeting. Xiao Hui, who was in the same group as Yukihira, was even more desperate, as if the sky had fallen and she had been struck by lightning. The dark and depressed negative energy almost swallowed her up, and tears streamed down her face.

"What bad luck! I have to take that Professor Chappell's class right away."

Aside from Rin and the others who remained calm, only Yukihira, with his protagonist aura, looked completely bewildered, his tongue tied by the difficult-to-pronounce foreign name.

"That teacher seems a bit scary."

"Of course! At Totsuki Academy, he's known for being incredibly strict when it comes to grading students. I heard he graded all 50 students in one class as E last year! Eighteen of our students were expelled because of his classes. His nickname is 'The Chef Who Never Smiles'."

Xiaohui, her forehead dripping with sweat, explained to Yukihira; it was truly a difficult task for her. She trembled the entire time, accompanied by non-existent background music, as she described the difficulty of this early-game mini-boss.

"From the moment you enter the kitchen, you bear the responsibility of cooking delicious food. Based on your sensory experience and perspective, anyone who does not receive an A in my class will be considered an E. Remember that."

Unlike everyone else, Pendragon's first reaction upon seeing this face was to check for Command Seals on the back of his hand—

Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald!

Professor! Professor, why did you leave the Clock Tower?! Aren't you going to teach magic anymore?!

The head of the Spirit Summoning Department has become the head of the French Cuisine Department, yet he remains just as unfriendly to the students.

"Today's menu is..."

As Director Ken from the food section began his speech, the lecturer's assistant behind him quickly wrote on the white "blackboard" with a black pen.

"I'll write the recipe on the whiteboard for you to see. You have two hours. Bring it up when you're done. Let's begin, let's start cooking."

The last sentence was spoken in French, which was then misheard by Yukihira in Japanese.

The other students immediately got busy, while Pendragon and Rin went to the whiteboard to check the menu.

"Although I haven't tried it, it doesn't seem too difficult."

Miss Rin is skilled in Chinese cuisine, but her understanding of ingredients can be applied across different cuisines. With even the specific cooking times written in the recipe, it's not difficult to recreate a dish.

It's just beef stewed in red wine.

Mushrooms, onions, and garlic.

Rin took out the selected white mushrooms and other ingredients in the right proportions and handed them to Lily, asking her to chop them up. After that, all she had to do was say "666".

Pendragon will observe and learn from Rin first, since no one will notice her anyway.

Lily put the chopped ingredients into the pan and stir-fried them with butter. Miss Rin doesn't usually use a frying pan, so she had to change her spatula grip slightly to get used to it.

After the seasonings are stir-fried until fragrant, they are put into the pot. The next step is to prepare the meat before stewing it.

A large piece of high-quality beef brisket would take at least forty minutes to stew until tender, and the heat is difficult to control precisely...

Miss Rin thought for a moment, then looked at the largest piece of beef she had chosen and began to try her luck.

Then suddenly he slapped his palm onto the flesh!

The metal stovetop seemed to shake slightly, and the once-firm beef now sagged a bit, as if it had been deboned.

The fibrous structure of the beef has been completely broken by the internal force of Bajiquan, which shortens the stewing time and makes the meat more tender.

Tsk. This chef not only needs superpowers and special skills, but also needs to be proficient in both magic and martial arts, and be an expert in medicine making. It's not something an ordinary person can do.

"Stir-frying...good, so far there haven't been any major problems."

The knife skills and stir-frying were quickly completed. Pendragon's cooking wasn't entirely casual or laissez-faire. Seeing that Rin's cooking was quite simple, he wanted to try making something that tasted alright for them to try.

"Next, it's simmered over low heat. The ratio of water to red wine is..."

Under the control of telekinesis, the proportion of red wine used to stew the beef was precisely measured down to the milligram unit.

Oh, and you should pound the beef before cooking.

Pendragon didn't know how to use Bajiquan, so he used his telekinesis to solidify an invisible meat hammer and smashed it onto the beef belly.

"—Smack!"

The power of telekinesis is far more powerful than Rin's fist techniques. Without any preparation, a whole piece of beef brisket was transformed into a handmade beef ball, the kind that's incredibly chewy.

Try again before anyone notices...

Chapter 167 The Illusion of a Mirror Flower and a Water Moon

Chapter 167

Anyway, the school is rich and powerful, and has plenty of spare ingredients for classes, so Pendragon has the opportunity to slowly test the strength.

After the second eighty blows, the meat became similar to Rin's piece, and Pendragon put it in a pot to simmer.

After placing a timer on the pot lid, she couldn't stay still any longer and went to watch the girls in other groups.

"Take the beef out after 40 minutes."
