In the kitchen of Kaer Morhen, Wayne, who had changed into clean clothes and was cooking breakfast for himself and the old witcher Vesemir, suddenly heard it.

Cooking proficiency +1, current progress 100.

Culinary skills level 1 is upgraded to Culinary skills level 2.

Cooking Level 2: Cooking deliciousness +2.

Hearing this reminder, Wayne's mood immediately became better.

After a period of exploration, he discovered that the demon hunter system that came with the time travel not only improved the demon hunter's main skills, but also allowed him to learn additional skills such as archery, cooking, and hunting.

In addition to the degree to which he has mastered these supplementary skills, like the demon hunter's main skills, they can also receive additional enhancements from the system.

His father in his previous life was a professional chef in a big food empire. Influenced by his father, Wayne already had good cooking skills although he has not yet started a family.

Now that I have come to the world of Demon Hunter, both my archery and cooking skills have been recognized by the system. I have to say that this is a blessing.

With such a happy mood, Wayne left the kitchen with the prepared breakfast.

Unlike skills like swordsmanship which are extremely difficult to improve, Wayne's cooking skills, perhaps because of his past experience, can improve his proficiency almost every time he cooks.

In addition, he liked to give himself some special treatment, and he didn't expect that in just one month, he was promoted from level one to level two.

The improvement in deliciousness also made the food he cooked even more delicious, winning the love and praise of the old witcher.

Walking into the castle's hall, Vesemir was still sleeping in the armchair, but when Wayne approached with a fragrant breakfast.

The old demon hunter's nose couldn't help but twitch. He opened his eyes and said with emotion, "Well, freshly baked wheat bread, fried eggs and grilled fish with pine nuts, and fragrant mushroom soup."

"I bet that even respectable people in the city can't have a better breakfast than we do."

"My child, I didn't expect you to be so talented in cooking. I have been to many countries, and perhaps only the chefs of the nobles are better than you."

Wayne showed a smile of being praised by an elder, handed a breakfast to the old demon hunter, and then said:

"Teacher Vesemir, I really like the feeling of enjoying delicious food. Only by absorbing enough nutrition can I have more physical strength to complete the training of the demon hunter."

Vesemir nodded in approval, then hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Wayne, after the Green Grass Trial, your personality seems to have changed a lot. You have become more cheerful and more positive than before."

"You are different from everyone else in this respect. That kind of painful torture casts a shadow on the hearts of many people, making them more withdrawn and more radical."

Wayne had already prepared an answer to this question. He tilted his head and pretended to think for a while before answering:

"I don't know why, teacher. After this near-death experience, I feel that I should be braver and face life more positively, and not let myself have any regrets."

Upon hearing this, Vesemir nodded thoughtfully. Looking at Wayne who was now positive and optimistic, the old man nodded with satisfaction.

However, he still warned: "Child, don't let the past bind you. Being brave is a good thing, but excessive bravery is reckless."

"Come on, after breakfast, let's start the lesson."

Demon hunters are not a profession that relies on brute force. They are experts in hunting monsters. In addition to their own swordsmanship and magic seals, they also need to learn a lot of knowledge.

Especially after the intersection of celestial bodies, monsters from other worlds descended upon this world, and coupled with the influence of chaotic magic, various abnormalities also occurred in local creatures.

In the entire demon hunter world, there are more than hundreds of various monsters, including powerful ones such as dragons, giants, and demons, and weak ones such as water ghosts, goblins, and insects. Each monster has its own special abilities and habits.

Therefore, almost every witcher apprentice must train under the guidance of an old witcher for nearly ten years.

They need to learn a lot of monster knowledge, and the things they need to remember are not much less than those of modern students who undergo nine years of compulsory education.

Just like now, although Wayne's body is only fourteen years old, his daily training schedule is fully arranged.

He practiced swordsmanship for several hours in the morning, took various monster knowledge courses in the morning, trained physical strength, dodging and other physical skills in the afternoon, and at dusk, when magic was most active, he also had to learn and practice the abilities of various seals.

According to the old witcher Vesemir, such a course would last about three to six years, depending on his level of mastery.

Only after he has completed all the witcher courses will he be allowed to leave Kaer Morhen and go on missions alone.

During this period, as Wayne's mentor, Vesemir would spend more than half a year every year in Kaermohen to train him.

Therefore, any demon hunter apprentice who completes the Trial of Green Grass is a valuable asset to a demon hunter school.

Not only does it require a huge investment of money, but it also requires professional demon hunter instructors who spend a lot of time and effort to teach.

Since the decline of the demon hunter profession, very few new demon hunters have appeared.

………………

At dusk, after completing a day of physical training, Wayne returned to the training ground in Kaer Morhen.

In the dim sunlight, Vesemir was sitting cross-legged quietly on a stone slab, seemingly meditating.

Sensing his arrival, the old demon hunter opened his eyes, his slightly cloudy cat pupils, and sized up his body, then pointed to a stone slab on the ground opposite him and said, "Come on, kid, let's start practicing today's magic signs."

Wayne wiped the sweat from his forehead and obediently sat down in front of Vesemir.

However, his eyes were involuntarily attracted to the wolf-head witcher badge wrapped around the old witcher's hand.

Noticing his gaze, a smile appeared on the old man's serious face.

He stretched out his hand and handed the badge to Wayne, and said with emotion: "This is the badge of an old friend of mine. He was a powerful demon hunter, but he died at the hands of a deer-headed spirit more than two hundred years ago due to incorrect intelligence."

"When I found him, his flesh and blood had been eaten by the wild beasts in the forest. Only the equipment on his body was left there."

"Originally, I was going to wait until your body was completely stable before giving it to you. However, since you have passed all the demon hunter trials, it is time for you to have a badge that belongs to our Wolf School."

"Remember, kid, we witchers are not heroes. We never have been."

"No matter what kind of battle we fight, only by being cautious enough can we live longer."

Looking at Vesemir's expectant eyes, Wayne excitedly reached out and took the silver-white Wolf School Demon Hunter badge.

The moment his fingers touched the badge, the system in his mind suddenly sent out a message.

Ding! The Demon Hunter Trial has been completed and the quest system is open.
