29 Eccentric Old Man (2/2)
There was a small pause in his hobbling. ”I do not.” His voice was heavy. ”You probably have noticed that this dorm is somewhat peculiar.”
Hana nodded. 'Care to explain why?' she thought inwardly.
”The Bluewing dorm has not been occupied for twenty years.” The rough voice of the elder continued on. ”I was an alma mater of this dorm. After the school decided to sell this old place, I bought it and became the sponsor or whatnot.”
He sighed. ”In my day, the Bluewing dorm was the strongest in the school. However, it has declined to such a point.”
Hana nodded. ”I see, then are you trying to restore its prestige?”
Elder Lan snorted. ”Of course not. Why should I care about such trivial matters?”
Hana had black lines on her head. Then why did you phrase your words like that. It's very easy to misunderstand you know!
Now that she thought of it, this old man was very eccentric. He clearly had the aura of powerful person, but portrayed himself as a weak old man. She knew from observing his gait that he was actually not dependent on that stick of his at all. So he was just using it like some prop.
Not to mention his mysterious act and all.
She decided to shut up and just follow him silently.
”Your test will take place in here.”
Hana refocused. She had been led into . . . a kitchen?
The place was a mess. Multiple bowls of gloppy brown gunk were scattered over the marble countertops. The sink was overflowing with burnt pots. And there were baking trays full of unidentifiable objects. Even the island was covered in some purple substance.
She had seen bad anime food for the first time. Apparently you can cook something into a purple gunk . . .
”Elder, don't tell me your task is to clean the kitchen?” Is that why the rest of the house is so clean?All the other applicants must have been assigned to clean the place.

”You can if you wish.” Elder Lan took a seat at the table next to the kitchen. ”It may will probably be best if your workspace if neater.”
Workspace? Hana blinked. ”Elder, you're not . . . testing me on my cooking skills.”
Elder Lan gave her a deep look. ”Your task is to create an ancient dessert.”
