"Ah, it's the Great Stew! I miss this taste… Oh, right…" Lord Shesi remembered that even though he used to get indigestion when he first ate this, it was his only food back then. Although he mostly cooked for himself afterward, there were times when he was too busy and wanted to save money on bento, so he would eat the dishes Iruma made. Everyone might not be used to it… "Wait a moment, I'll make another pot," Lord Shesi said.
Everyone looked at Lord Shesi with expectant eyes, especially Big Sister and Clara, who had eaten Lord Shesi's cooking before.
In the end, Lord Shesi still made a separate pot of food for them.
"I somehow feel like a mom?" Lord Shesi, wearing an apron (which Clara pulled out of her bag), felt a strange sensation.
Ultimately, everyone was conquered by Lord Shesi's culinary skills.
"Then, later, we will be enemies," Lord Shesi announced, looking at everyone's peaceful expressions.
"Eh?"
"Don't be surprised. We represent the training results of various teachers; we must strive for success," Lord Shesi said, looking at Clara and Iruma.
"...Don't look at me like that… Then, after tonight… I'll build you another treehouse! That's it!" Iruma's sparkling gaze made Lord Shesi a little overwhelmed, so he could only say this.
First treehouse: Lord Shesi, Soi.
Second treehouse: Clara, Big Sister, Navla.
Third treehouse: Iruma, Coco.
By the third day, everyone started to go their separate ways to hunt. Lord Shesi and Soi also began hunting large magical beasts. With the 20,000 points promised by Kalego, Lord Shesi and Soi now had 40,000 points. Lord Shesi planned to give all the points to Soi, as Soi was currently only at [2]. With these, he should be able to directly advance to [3]. When Soi learned of this, he quickly waved his hands, but Lord Shesi firmly pushed the points back to him, saying it was for the Royal Classroom and for everyone, until Soi looked at Lord Shesi with red eyes.
"But it's still good to try harder, after all… our opponents this time are not simple," Lord Shesi said, looking up at the blue sky.
The teams that differed the least from the original work were Piquero and Goemon with Asmodeus. These two teams were each competing against their own opponents.
Lord Shesi and Soi continued walking east.
Not long after, they heard sounds of a fight. Lord Shesi and Soi prepared to sneak over to see if they could friendly gather some unfamiliar ingredients. As soon as they got there, they saw Asmodeus and Sabnock fighting with the Doro Doro Brothers, who were hunting a giant magical beast.
"Oh, oh, you guys are still fighting," Lord Shesi and Soi walked out. This time, Soi did not dissipate but chose to follow behind Lord Shesi.
Seeing someone approach, the others turned their gaze.
"Who are you?"
"Lord Shesi! That…"
"Oh! Lord Shesi!"
"You know each other?"
Lord Shesi quickly raised his hand, signaling that he wanted to speak.
"Uh."
He was interrupted by an ingredient as soon as he opened his mouth. A giant bear charged over. Asmodeus tried to warn him, but then saw Lord Shesi deliver a spinning kick, sending the giant bear flying.
"How rude. Oh, right, I'll answer one by one. I am Lord Shesi. Iruma is not here; he and Coco went to find Lead. Not only do I know them, but I also know your masters."
"Eh… Ah… Is that so?"
"Eh? You actually know our master? Do you know where he is?" The Doro Doro Brothers ran over, excitedly asking.
"Yes, I know him. Your master is currently at a party in the tent next to the main tent. However, if you're looking to duel his apprentices, you might have the wrong people. Asmodeus's master is Balam, and your master is Sergeant Foer Foer."
After Lord Shesi finished speaking, both sides were stunned for a moment.
"Eh? Eh???!"
"You got the wrong people?"
"You're not the master's disciples?"
Both sides fell silent for a moment, then continued hunting. The Doro Doro Brothers were clearly immersed in the excitement of the hunt, after all, their opponents were such a powerful duo. Of course, Asmodeus and Sabnock were too.
"Enjoy the hunt," Lord Shesi sighed, then took a little from the ingredients on both sides. Not much, just 2,000 points per group, 2,000 each.
The two changed direction and continued walking.
"Ah, big brother!" After walking for a while, they saw Iruma. He shouldn't have been walking so fast, but Lord Shesi said that collecting ingredients around here wasn't as fast as collecting taxes. Although Soi didn't know what "collecting taxes" meant, he understood Lord Shesi's meaning and looked at the 4,000 points in his hand, feeling that Lord Shesi was right. He just didn't expect to see Iruma. Logically, he shouldn't have seen him, right? But Lord Shesi quickly found the reason.
"Ah, Eiko-chan is here too," Lord Shesi saw Eiko-chan holding hands with Iruma. At this time, Eiko-chan's face was flushed. On one hand, she had met her future brother-in-law several times, but holding hands… this was the first time. As for why they were holding hands… Eiko was collecting ingredients at the time, and Iruma happened to pass by and helped her collect. After collecting for a while, Iruma suddenly said Eiko-chan's hands were so small and wanted to compare. The result… Lord Shesi raised an eyebrow after hearing this and looked at Iruma.
"Ah… it seems he hasn't realized at all…" Looking at Iruma's naturally clueless expression, he still sighed a little, but since there was progress, he couldn't discourage him.
"Here, this is money from your future brother-in-law for you two to chat," Lord Shesi took out 1,000 points worth of ingredients from his pocket and put them into Eiko's bag, then turned and left. Soi first glanced at Iruma, then followed Lord Shesi.
After creating space for the two, Lord Shesi and Soi continued their journey (of collecting taxes). Soon, they saw a large house in the distance?
"Eh?"
...Thus, a day passed. Lord Shesi equally extracted 2,000 points from everyone. Kerori had the biggest reaction, but just as she was about to get angry, she seemed to remember something, then calmed down and looked at Lord Shesi with a mischievous smile.
Lord Shesi felt a chill down his spine. Just as he was about to put away the ingredients, Kerori gave Lord Shesi another 1,000 points, which made Lord Shesi a little scared.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit, and the harvest was nearing its end. Without Coco's interference, Iruma and Lead easily obtained the Legendary Leaf. Although the subsequent magic power supply was a bit troublesome, they managed to make it bloom with the help of Mr. Ali's sponsorship.
And Soi, with Lord Shesi's (exploitation) supply, also won third place. Coco, because she didn't use extreme abilities, only got 13th place.
The Misfit Class completely occupied the top ten, of course, Lord Shesi had 0 points.
"Lord Shesi!" A voice came, and Lord Shesi saw Ameri walking over.
"Why do you have 0 points?" Ameri asked, looking at Lord Shesi in confusion.
"Haven't I already reached [4]? So I gave the opportunity to Soi," Lord Shesi said, pointing to Soi next to him.
"Ah? There's actually someone here…" Ameri first froze, then looked at Soi next to Lord Shesi. Soi, seeing this, bowed and asked.
"Hello, President, I am Soi from the Misfit Class."
