Chapter 565 (2/2)

「I’m Osless. Nice to meet you」

The frail-looking guy was Rellus. He seemed to be a magician from the Demon Kin. He was quite an unusual student of the Special Battle Class, as he was a pure magician type.

The serious-looking macho guy was Marquez. He was the opposite of Rellus and was probably a shield user.

The last man was a frivolous-looking gentleman. He’s Osless. And he looked to be in his early twenties.

Well, since the Academy of Magic does not limit admission by age, so some of them are older than others.

It seemed that these three people, including Charon, were a group in the Cooking Class. At first, I thought they were friends who had formed a party at the Adventurer’s Guild, but it seemed that was not the case.

「We don’t have a fixed party when we take quests at the Adventurer’s Guild」

「It’s also unlikely that we’ll be able to make a party with our classmates after graduation」

If they were to form a party with only their classmates, they would not be able to respond flexibly in times of need. In order to prevent this, the students of the Special Battle Class are required to change their combinations in turns when they take quests outside.

「I know in yesterday’s class that Fran has dismantling skills, but what about cooking?」

「Nn… It’s so-so? I’m not as good as Master」

「Hmm? Fran’s master? What kind of person is he?」

「Master is the best, he can do anything」

「Th-that is… Well, he’s Fran’s master, so I’m sure it’s true」

Fran’s master must be even more screwed up. That must be what she thought of me.

「So, what do you want us to do? We don’t mind you giving us instructions」

「Okay」

How could you ask Fran, who still hadn’t mastered her Cooking Skills to give you instructions…? Charon, you’re quite a gambler, aren’t you? No, did she decide to just follow a high-ranked adventurer, which was, in a sense, a natural thing to do for an adventurer?

Her group members don’t seem to have any objections as well. Rather, they were nodding happily. The one who was clearly happy with it was Osless

「Uwaah, we’re saved. All the guys in this group are really bad at cooking」

「Is that so?」

「Well, yeah. It’s because everyone except me is totally useless~. Well, all three of them are nobles, so it’s no wonder」

It seems that the three of them were children of small noble families, but still, they had a maid or two in their houses. But after entering this academy, they’ve worked a little harder, but they were not good at it.

Osless, on the other hand, was the son of a Chief Soldier and came from a commoner family. Therefore, he had been helping his mother in the kitchen since he was a child, and he seemed to have no qualms about cooking.

「I’m not really skilled at it, but I’m better than these guys. And I also have some useful skills as well」

And so, they choose Fran to be their leader, with Osless as her assistant, and the other three ready to take instruction.

「Are there any spices in this group’s inventory?」

「Yes. Each group has its inventory」

「Then bring them all. And bring some cooking utensils too」

「Understood」

「What should we do?」

「First, secure the prey, get the best one」

「Even if you tell us to get the best one, they’re the same magic beast, you know? And their size is about the same too. Will that really make any differences?」

「It probably took days to prepare it. So, obviously, there’s a difference in its freshness」

「How can we tell the difference?」

「The smell, the hair, the cloudiness of the eyes. And the color of its tongue」

「I see」

Now, I wonder what kind of food she’ll make.
