"Side Quest: Choose the Adventurer Set (the next serving is the super spicy barbecue set "Lava City's Sorrow"), and finish it in ten minutes."
『Task Reward: Canteen Aunt's Bathing Photo x1』
“…”
Do you think that side quests can strengthen yourself?
I want the aunt’s bathing photos to be useful! And why is it an aunt? Is it good to have needle holes?
It seemed as if I heard Wu Ju’s deepest complaints, the task rewards in the task bar changed a little.
『Task Reward: Uncle Chef's Bathing Photo x1』
The direction of the change is completely wrong! This makes it even worse!
Wu Ju suppressed his desire to complain loudly, silently turned off the task menu, and then asked the chef who was cooking a charcoal baked seven-sided bird set meal.
After receiving his own baked bird set meal, he found a seat that happened to be free to sit down, and invited Dorothy and the others to sit together.
At this time, Weiya pulled Wu Ju's sleeve and pointed not far away.
Wu Ju looked over there and found that Aisha, who had received the meal earlier than them, had not found a seat yet, and was running around the cafeteria like a resentful spirit.
Is this the power of misfortune?
Wu Ju scratched the back of his head helplessly, and then waved to Aisha: "Testarosa, if you don't mind, come here to sit."
There are 4 seats in a dining table. Via and Dorothy sit together, and there is an empty seat next to Wu Ju.
Aisha, not far away, showed a surprise expression, and then ran over as quickly as if she had seen a puppy for lunch.
"Thank you so much...I thought I had to go to the bathroom for lunch again today."
She looked full of gratitude.
What is the situation with lunch in the toilet?!
Wu Ju raised his head in surprise, and Dorothy was even more exaggeratedly choked.
Even Via, who had always been calm, was frightened.
"Can't you go to the atrium to eat? I remember there were many people there having picnics on the lawn, right? There are also stone chairs to sit under the coniferous trees." Wu Jiu asked in disbelief.
"If I go to the lawn, I will definitely encounter snakes. Another time, the free-range guard dog snatched food. If I am under the pine tree, there will definitely be bugs or bird droppings into the meal... In comparison, the toilet just doesn't smell very good."
The girl replied with a bitter and bitter smile on her face.
This has surpassed the level of misfortune, it is a total curse!
Wu Ju discovered for the first time that people could be so unlucky.
No, it would be better to say, how did this guy live so big...
"The topic of self-abuse has ended here, let's talk about other things..."
Wu Ju couldn't help but interrupt the girl's plan to continue and forced the topic to other aspects: "Speaking of this, you are the fifth seat in the academy, right? It's amazing to be a single-digit seat. The style of yesterday's battle is still fresh in memory."
He didn't lie about this. Yesterday, Elsa's decision to rotate the cards several times in a row were all in the right position, which was too different from the usual unlucky appearance that he couldn't forget even if he wanted to.
"Just call me Aisha. Actually, it's nothing..." Aisha scratched her face a little embarrassedly: "Although my luck has been bad since I was a child, I don't know why, but I can almost succeed when using cards to make such judgments, so I am called the 'Unfortunate Witch'."
The cards that require gambling judgments are almost all better than similar cards of the same cost. It seems that it is natural that Elsa will become the fifth seat.
"But isn't Wu Jiu very famous recently?" As he said that, Elsa suddenly turned her finger on Wu Jiu.
"What?"
Wu Ju was a little confused.
Dorothy also had similar expressions, and the same information was as closed as ever.
"Testarosa... Oh, Aisha, are you talking about the Four Heroes?" Via looked clear.
"What is the Four Heroes Collection?"
Adhering to the basic principle of asking if you don’t understand, Wu Ju asked Weiya.
But it was Elsa who answered loudly.
"After a period of running-in, their strength will be revealed. At this time, some people in the college will find some freshmen who are strong enough to threaten the status of the seat, list them, call them the Jiji, and give them titles in advance. Generally, the number of Jiji is even, the two Jiji, the four Jiji, the six Jiji, the eight Jiji, and so on. There are only 4 freshmen selected this year, and you are one of them."
“…”
Wu Ju looked in pain.
He was too lazy to compete for a seat just to avoid the title of "a middle-aged man". Unexpectedly, he worked hard until now, and he still won the damn title for other reasons...
"Okay, I'm mentally prepared, let's talk about what my title is."
He took a deep breath and asked Elsa with a resigned expression.
"Hehe, the leader of the four heroes, Wu Ju, the 'hero leader'." Aisa said with a smile on her eyes.
"Oh, although my deck has been exposed, it is still within acceptable range."
Wu Ju blinked and found that his nickname didn't seem so difficult to accept.
"When will you talk until? If you don't eat, the food will be cold." Dorothy held the chopsticks and looked at the two people who were having a good time talking, and said angrily.
This made Wu Ju wonder where he had messed with her again.
But she was right, the most important thing was to eat in the world.
"Well, it's unexpectedly not as bad as you think!" Elsa took a bite of the black fried food, and then let out a small cheer.
It's not that it's "unexpectedly delicious" but that it's not as untie as expected, but it's still untie...
Wu Ju sighed secretly.
I think so, Aisha, who is generally in a very bad situation, will definitely develop to the worst situation when encountering such a random situation. It is estimated that the girl herself knows this, so she tried her best to avoid choosing the adventurer package at the beginning.
Thinking of this, Wu Jiu picked up a large piece of fat barbecue from his plate and put it on Aisha's plate. Before the girl refused, he picked up a piece of black unidentified fried food from her: "I'm very curious about the taste of this, let's change some dishes to eat."
"Hey? But..."
The girl was startled and said subconsciously.
But Via and Dorothy seemed to understand what Wu Jiu meant. Before she could finish her words, they each smiled and took out part of their dishes, "exchanged" the black unknown substance with Aisha.
To be honest, the thing is really not delicious. The skin is sticky and has a burnt smell. It seems to be a bit uncooked inside. It tastes bloody, rough and bitter. Although it does not have the ability to dizzy people in many novels and animations, it can undoubtedly be considered unpalatable.
However, Wu Ju seemed to have no idea about this and started chewing on his desk.
"……Thanks."
Elsa looked at the dishes that suddenly became rich in front of her, and sniffed her lips a few times before finally showing a bright smile.
"I will definitely treasure it!"
"No, no, no, let me eat it!"
"How was the investigation last time?"
Inside the Dean of Anderson College, the current Dean Anderson Wise is sitting in a wide soft chair, with his hands on his chin and looking at Chiora at the table with his eyes full of wisdom.
"It is indeed just a rampage caused by the fallen spirit when the contract creature is card. If it is not a minor injury, it is fortunate that the wounded person this time is the student who failed the contract. The only problem is that the student lying in the hospital comes from the Nefidis clan and has a certain reputation as the seventh "Hellfire Admiral" in the academy. This incident may cause protests from that family." Chiora returned the results of his investigation to Anderson Wise.
"In addition, the card that failed the contract "no.87 - Natural Scourge·Haki Orochi" has been recycled by the newly enrolled student Wu Ju."
"I haven't taken the old man from the Nefidis clan seriously yet. And at most they will impeach our academy for a guardianship, which has no effect. Compared to this, I care more about the little guy named Wu Ju."
Anderson Wise reached out and touched his long beard: ""no.37-Xia Yuxuanyuan Sword", "no.87-Natural Disaster·Haki Orochi" and "no.107-Hundred Ghosts Night Walk·Zaki Boy", these three cards, neither me nor the old guy Witt could contract. It seems that the little guy named Wu Ju did have the special contract conditions for the card with the prefix "no."
"Do you need to send someone to follow me?"
Chiola was silent for a moment before asking.
To be honest, he didn't want to target Wu Ju like this. After all, Wu Ju is also a disciple he discovered. However, in recent times, all parts of the mainland seem to be not very calm, so maybe it's better to be cautious.
"This is not necessary for the time being." Anderson Wise shook his head: "Just tell the lecturers to pay a little attention. Too tightening may cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Chiola nodded and signaled that she understood.
“One more thing.”
Anderson Wise's face softened, and a sly light flashed in his narrowed eyes: "The annual 'that' is approaching, and we almost have to decide who to send."
"Are you talking about the 'Seven Kings Night Banquet'?"
Chiola didn't react at once, and then asked with some amusement.
"That's right, the battle between the strongest 'kings' in the seven academy decided to create the activity of the strongest, the 'Seven Kings Night Banquet'. Isn't it very exciting?"
Anderson Wise showed the smile of a child after the successful prank, and squeezed his eyes at Chiola, completely without the style of the strongest man in the Principality of Angela.
"But that's just an activity for children to play..."
Chiora said with a wry smile.
It is because I understand that this activity is just a battle between children and is not reliable, so the empires or principalities to which the seven academies belong to have no taboo titles such as "king" in the title...
"Although they are just children, aren't they the future of mankind?"
Anderson Wise replied with a smile.
Chiola was speechless about this.
Then he suddenly remembered something and asked the old man: "Is it because of this that the first Dorag Black was recalled by you?"
“It’s true.”
The old man's unhesitant answer made Chiola feel a little exhausted... It seems that the dean really took this matter to his heart.
Ignoring the helpless expression of his subordinates, the old man continued: "Although the protagonist of the Seven Kings Night Banquet is the king of the seven academies, the academy still needs to send five people to participate. They are one forward, two backbone, one deputy, and one king."
"You mean, do you want to be selected among students?"
Chiola reorganized her mentality and then kept up with the old man's topic again.
"No, isn't there a special list like a seat in our academy? Now is the time to play the role of this list."
The old man replied in a serene manner, it seemed that he had already thought about this issue.
"But the students in the second and fourth seats are not on the school now. The third seat, "Jiangsu of Justice" Victoria, is a descendant of the Tiya family. The purpose of coming to the academy is to guard the void fire underground. She will definitely not participate in such an event. In addition, the seventh seat is still in the hospital. If there is a problem with the deck of the ninth seat, there is no way to take action for the time being."
As one of the vice presidents of Anderson College, Chiola was very familiar with the affairs of the college and immediately listed a table in her mind: "So in order, the first, fifth, sixth, eighth, and tenth seats to go to the night banquet of the Seven Kings, right?"
"No, all we need is a single-digit seater."
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head and denied Chiola's list.
"But, if single digits are all enabled...isn't there still one person missing?"
Chiora asked strangely.
"Isn't there a collection of Four Heroes? If the collection of Four Heroes is the first, it should have the strength that can rival those with single-digit seats."
The old man still said with a smile.
"The first of the Four Heroes Collection...Okay, I understand."
Chiora was surprised, but immediately came to her senses and nodded.
It is indeed a good choice to borrow this Seven Kings Night Banquet to see where that little guy's strength is.
And judging from that little guy's cleverness, even if he participates in such an event, he will not embarrass Anderson.
"If nothing else, I'll inform those students to be ready."
"Yeah, go."
After obtaining the old man's permission, Chiola bent down slightly to the other party and turned around and left the room.
After Chiola left and the thick wooden door closed again, the old man slowly stood up and opened the curtains. The silver moon was already hanging on the edge of the dusk sky.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that there are a few strange bright reds mixed in the silver moon, as if something is nurturing, which makes people feel inexplicably palpitations.
Anderson Wise's face was gone, and the calmness of the past was revealed, revealing the vicissitudes that an old man should have.
"...Ciola, this world is about to undergo an unexpected upheaval. I can no longer see what kind of era it will be. Maybe even I will be submerged in the waves of the times. So while I can still bring the last protection to the students, they must bring as much experience as possible, so that they will have a little room for self-protection in the face of the surging waves."
