Chapter 89 Grade Trial Competition 5
There is indeed no exaggeration in Flo's barbecue skills.
The monster meat was carefully cut into two-finger-wide chunks, just the right size for a bite. The meat was simply marinated, and although the marinating time was not long and the marinade was simple, the sweetness of the monster meat itself was enough to make up for this slight defect.
There were still small pieces of sebum on the meat, which sizzled and oozed under the high temperature. The thin skin, which was handled very cleanly, was burnt to a crisp and fragrant state, and the firm, snow-white meat inside began to turn red visibly.
Both vision and smell are greatly impacted at this moment.
Attracted by the fragrance, several people began to drool wildly.
Canaan, who was helping, turned the barbecue over under Flo's instructions.
He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said greedily, "Fro-Fro, can we start eating this barbecue? I think it's cooked!"
The delicious food was right in front of him, but his empty stomach had already started playing the "empty city stratagem".
Flo looked at the barbecue in front of her carefully and shook her head, "No, we have to wait a while. Barbecue can't be eaten immediately after it's cooked. It will taste better if it's roasted for a while..."
"Okay, okay!" Canaan stared at the barbecue in front of him.
Rupert on the side was also waiting anxiously. He was concerned about his image and didn't want to show it too obviously, so he could only swallow silently from time to time.
Lu Yi had already moved from under the tree to the barbecue fire.
His blue eyes sparkled as he stared at the barbecue and said, "It smells so good. I'm already hungry!"
Compared to ordinary humans and newly-entered magician apprentices, first-level magicians have greatly improved physical fitness in all aspects, including the ability to withstand hunger.
Lu Yi was not actually hungry. In fact, he was still a little full because he had eaten all the barbecue skewers distributed to the large group for convenience.
However, as soon as the aroma of the shiny and crispy barbecue came out, his appetite was aroused.
I don’t know if it’s because Lu Yi is here, but Flo is striving for perfection and must perform well.
When she was finally sure that the meat was cooked to perfection, Flo sprinkled a handful of white sesame seeds on it, quickly turned the skewers over, and grilled them over high heat for a few seconds before finishing.
Flo handed the first skewer of roasted beast meat to Lu Yi, "The hero should eat first!"
Lu Yi took the barbecue and said, "Thank you, Flo!"
Although he was very greedy, his eating movements were extremely elegant and calm, without any hurry. He chewed slowly, as if he was not eating kebabs but some exquisite snacks for the nobility.
It was in stark contrast to the two people who were sucked in by the storm next to them.
Flo was speechless at the way Canaan and Rupert ate, looking like starving ghosts. She couldn't bear to watch and said, "... Slow down, there's a lot of meat roasted, no need to be so anxious."
Canaan's mouth was full of oil and he shook his head frantically, "No, you don't understand! This is respect for food!"
"Praise the God of Light! He allows us to eat such delicious food in such a harsh environment!" Rupert sighed.
Barbecue? No, they were eating something unique! The other first-year students were probably still worried about food!
Canaan curled his lips, "No, you should say praise Flo, she is simply the god of food in the world!"
"Yes, yes, yes, praise Flo! She's beautiful and a great cook!"
Rupert rarely criticized Canaan, but instead looked at Flo with admiration and respect.
"Although I heard Canaan say that you are an amazing cook before, I thought he was exaggerating. I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking! It's so delicious that it makes my tongue fall off."
Rupert still felt it was not enough, so he continued, "How did you learn to cook so well? Is it the exclusive secret recipe of your chef? Can I send someone to learn from him..."
Without even looking up, Fro said, "There is no such thing as a cook. I figured it out on my own. If you want someone to learn from me, I'll have to charge you."
"Okay, okay! The tuition fee will be easy to negotiate!" Rupert responded immediately. "I just can't believe that young ladies like you can actually grill meat. You're a treasure! The noble young ladies in my family can't even grill meat. At most, they can just whip the cream and ask the servants to bake a small cake. They are considered proficient in cooking."
"We should let them all see what it means to be both talented and pretty! This is what it means to be both talented and pretty!"
He praised Flo to the skies, making her a model of aristocratic lady.
However, Flo did not respond to him and just smiled slightly.
Until Lu Yi pointed to the little barbecue left in front of him and kindly reminded him: "I know you want to express your gratitude, but don't express your gratitude yet, because Jianan will soon finish the barbecue!"
Rupert stopped talking and hurriedly stuffed meat into his mouth.
The noisiest people stopped, and the scene became a little too quiet, with only the sound of chewing.
Lu Yi was sitting next to Flo, so when he turned his head to look at her, she noticed it immediately.
"What's the matter, Lu Yi? If it's not enough, I'll bake some more..."
"That's enough." Lu Yi said.
"I mean, this barbecue is really delicious." He looked at Flo, who always had a smile on her face, "It tastes like home."
Flo paused, blinked her eyes and unexpectedly felt a strange sourness.
Despite her sweet appearance, Flo is not a fragile person.
But at this moment, just a simple sentence without any deep meaning almost made her unable to hold back.
The desire to talk came like a tide.
Lu Yi looked at her with focused and gentle eyes, as if everything could be understood and tolerated.
"Ah." Flo lowered her eyes, her smile becoming somewhat peaceful, "It should have the taste of home, my mother taught me..."
"Then your mother must be a gentle but firm lady."
Flo looked up and smiled, "Really? I can't say for sure."
"Definitely." Lu Yi gave her one of the last two skewers of barbecue in his hand. "Just like you, you look small, but the power in your body is amazing and incredible."
Lu Yi interrupted Rupert on purpose just now.
He was heartless and spoke whatever he wanted, but Lu Yi noticed Flo's gradually depressed mood.
She was still smiling, but her eyebrows drooped slightly.
Rupert was too narrow-minded to realize that Flo was most likely not the noble lady he was talking about.
There are thin calluses on her hands.
Those were not just calluses from sword practice, but more like traces left over from various housework over time.
Although Lu Yi felt that Flo would not care about her family background, he could not guarantee that Rupert would step on a landmine if he continued to speak without caution.
He tried to change the subject, but it seemed to be doing more harm than good.
Instead of feeling happy, Flo seemed to be in even worse mood.
Lu Yi was a little annoyed. Even the fragrant kebabs in his hand didn't taste as good anymore.
He wanted to say something to make amends, but Canaan spoke first.
On the other side, although Canaan and Rupert did not get the last kebab, they were still very full after eating so crazily before.
Now that his hands were empty and his stomach was full, he could also devote his attention to listening to Lu Yi and Flo talking.
"It's really unbelievable. The slap is not even as big as my fist, but it can pin me to the ground and beat me up. Who can believe this?" Canaan complained.
"That's you trash." Rupert sneered without thinking.
Jianan rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you have the guts, go fight your sister Fu and see if she can beat you to a pulp... I don't know where you got the guts to call me a loser."
Flo had just finished her barbecue, so she threw away the skewer of branches in her hand, flexed her wrists and said, "Come on, this is a good exercise after dinner. I haven't fought you yet!"
She moved, but Rupert remained motionless, sitting there as steady as a rock.
Rupert curled his lips, "If this was a freshman competition, I would definitely join immediately, but this is a grade trial competition, and we are not opponents. It would be stupid to waste my magic power... It's not worth it, it's really not worth it!"
"How can this be called a waste of magic power?" Canaan, who was watching the fun, disagreed, "Let's not talk about the fact that this is just a brief competition. Even if you have used up all your magic power, with Lu Yi and I here, are you still afraid of encountering any danger?"
Canaan remembered that Rupert had just called him a waste, so he stood up and tried to drag him up.
His hand had just been on Rupert's shoulder.
A shrill scream was heard.
"ah----"
The cry resounded through the sky, instantly startling a large number of birds and animals in the surrounding trees.
Rupert, who was opening his mouth, closed his jaw manually and said in confusion: "It's not me, I didn't have time to scream, who is screaming so miserably..."
Lu Yi looked behind him, frowned slightly and said, "The scream coming from the ten o'clock direction should be only 800 meters away from us."
"Do you want to go?" Flo looked at Lu Yi and asked, "The seniors should be starting to be eliminated."
"Let's go and take a look." Canaan was eager to try. "I still don't know what this elimination is all about! The points of the eliminated people will be halved, so will the eliminated people get half the points? And most of the second graders should have just reached the first level. If we can't beat them, we can just run away..."
Lu Yi also nodded, "You can watch and wait for the right opportunity to act."
The four of them quickly rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.
"Shit, is that a black school uniform???"
Canaan saw the figures following behind the first-year students who were running wildly.
A black figure, or rather, a figure wearing a black school uniform jacket.
Canaan rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that he was not, he whispered in surprise: "Is he really a third grader?! No, aren't first and second graders participating in the grade trial? Why is there a third grader? Isn't this bullying?!"
Lu Yi's expression turned serious, but he felt in his heart that it was as he expected.
The rules on the page only mentioned seniors, and never specified sophomores.
When he saw these words, he had an ominous prediction in his mind, and now it has come true.
The so-called senior students did not refer to the sophomores.
I'm afraid it's all the senior students, including sophomores, juniors, and even seniors.
"Too insidious! Isn't this cheating?! They are third graders! There are at least first-level second graders! In our entire first grade, there is only one first-level magician, Lu Yi!" Rupert cursed.
"Lu Yi, can you sense his specific level?" Flo asked with some concern, "Should we intervene?"
"It has not been long since I was promoted to the first level." Lu Yi said.
The magic power of the man in the black school uniform was not stable, and was far less solid than Lu Yi's first level. He was probably forced to advance to the second level in order to enter the third grade by some means.
However, even though his second level was a bit watered down, it was more than enough to deal with first-year apprentice magicians.
The only bad luck was that he met Lu Yi and his group early on.
"Then shall we go?" Canaan turned his head and looked at him, "Brother, just one word and we'll charge!"
Lu Yi nodded, "Yes, I will."
Of course I will go.
How could he not see that the second grader was deliberately walking the first grader like this? Just like a cat catching a mouse, he arrogantly teased the embarrassed little prey.
Elimination is for trial points, and catching up is for the thrill of bullying the weak.
As the top first-year student with a huge amount of points, Lu Yi is probably a hot commodity in the eyes of senior students no matter what his thoughts are.
If you can successfully eliminate Chief Lu Yi, you can not only get a huge amount of points from him, but also win great reputation in Braceside.
It’s like killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it?
Whether or not to go on to the next round is actually determined the moment the seniors enter the game.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Yi had no other option at all.
and……
Lu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling more and more unhappy.
What's the difference between this and destroying his place?
Do you really think first graders are easy to bully?
The author has something to say:
It's the end of the month, the nutrient solution is no longer needed and will expire (crazy hint)
I added some words, and the total number of words reached 399999!
