Septem - Chapter 44 Eating Competition
The eating competition is very popular among the student. Just to participate on it is very difficult, Fortunately, I already got registered by William. Apparently, the old man name is David Furboach, He is very famous chef with a huge reputation over Moreva continent.
Just to eating at his restaurant need to have many reservations days before. David himself like to go on journey across the continent. Fortunately, William meet this man when he went to one of his restaurant in the capital. At that time, William keep eating all the food that David serve which lead him to challenge William again.
Because of that event, now David become the major sponsor of eating competition every year in the royal academy. William also become special participant. The participant not only a gluttony people but also some upper classmen from different background, Teachers, and even a guardian member.
This guardian member name is Ragna Nosche. He is a very definition of muscle brain. Always use force when do something without thinking much. He is also quite familiar with chef David. I quite surprise since he also invites many famous people in this competition. There are Judom, warrior guild master, Shin Magnus, an SS-rank mercenary, and Fyi Falltree, a mysterious person wearing attire like an assassin but I feel he is as strong as the others.
Fortunately, Judom just ignore me while he talks with the others. There is also crowd of student who try to talk with them since they are very famous. I know the reason all this people here is not only to eat chef David’s cook but also to subdue certain member from behemoth organization.
Behemoth organization is very mysterious and cunning. One of their core member have strength enough destroy a kingdom. All of them also very difficult to catch. The reason Moru can catch one of them is because I already told her how they will escape.
I got information from Luna, high ranking behemoth organization that I eat her soul to make my loyal slave. Luna exchange all her information with Moru secretly while she is doing some investigation inside the academy. From her information, Behemoth organization is looking at certain item inside the vault near that item place.
I don’t really care about that item, But, this will be a distraction for the guardian and others. I plan to use this commotion to break into fifth floor library and copy all the knowledge in there. After thought that, we go to our respected table to participate the eating competition.
I prepare myself and start using gluttony’s technique called ‘the predator’. This technique will enhance my perception by many fold and analyze the ingredient until to their root. Using this technique, I can allocation all the energy from digest the food into their respected place and store it. Moreover, using this technique I can even eat people or animate object since I can digest all of them perfectly
The downside is everything beside me will starting to look delicious and it’s hard to control the tempt to eat them. Combine with other gluttony’s technique, I can devour everything and turn them into my energy.
The competition has a simple rule, All the participant only need to eat until the last food that being served. The one last remaining will be the winner and got a privilege to freely eat at the David’s restaurant. To anticipate William insatiable appetite they prepare an ingredient that enough for the whole capital city for month.
After waiting for a while, the competition start and the waiter serve us the food. The first food is looks like a simple porridge. However, the moment people smell the porridge’s scent, some of the participant getting fulfilled and feel stuffed already.
“Hahaha How is it? This is one of my masterpiece it is called Endless Porridge. Feeling full already huh?” He explains the name of porridge while looking at William.
“Old man.. As usual non of your food is ordinary. But this is appetizer for me and my brother. I suggest you less talking and start moving your hand to cook. Hahaha” Replied William while giving first taste of food.
All the others participant also begins eating. During their first taste, some of the participant collapse and feel so full. Few of them also vomit that send to the infirmary immediately since they don’t stop and want to eat their own vomit again.
By this time, William also going into his rage mode to digest all the energy he got from the food. Using his instinct, he can slowly allocate and digest it like animal. As for myself, I already empty the porridge long time ago.
“Emm Chef David.. Can I have another one? It the most delicious porridge however the portion is too small for me.” As I make the request it startled every one.
“Hoo If I am not wrong, you are William’s younger brother. It seems Temus family is really full gluttony people. Fine, let’s see how long you will last.” Then he goes to the kitchen area and started to cooking.
“I provoke the chef is because his food is very delicious that I want to monopol No.. the real reason is because it contains a huge amount of energy and mageforce from various different element that easily digest by the body as long as you know where to allocate them.” I thought that while getting droll of thinking the next delicious food.
According my calculation, if I can monopolize all his cooking it will store up a lot of energy in my reservoir. It will make me avoid Gluttony’s restoration after effect technique. Moreover, his cooking also delicious and I can eat at his restaurant freely. Just thinking of that make me drool more.
Like my guess the predator technique is very hard to control. No wonder whenever gluttony using this technique, he will go into rampage and eat everything. I just hope the others will hold him back to awaken since it will quite be tempting for him. Especially during eating these kind of delicious food.
Not long after that, they serve me the second dish which I ate them instantly. I also told them to hurry serve me the food. The faster this competition end, it will be easier to hold Gluttony from being awaken.
During this time, many participants already out. There are only Judom, Ragnar, Fyi, Shin, and two more students with me and William. Like me William also already finish his second dish. At the fourth dish, the two student and Fyi was out. At the seven dish, Shin out. During the eleven dish Judom also out which left Ragnar, me and William.
Ragnar already has expression complete full and start using his skill to fasten his metabolism. While William still in his rage mode and keep eating everything. As for me, I just emptied all the dish the moment it came and waiting for the next dish.
Looking at this situation, Chef David start to increase his cooking and also using various of skills to make the dishes. Moreover, I can feel some sort of disturbance in the surrounding kitchen at this moment. Some of the magforce elements getting together around him. It seems this is one of the skill that king title have.
At this time, the food being serve become faster and frenzy. Just in few minute, the dish approach twenty number and each has portion enough to four-five people. Without left no choice, Ragnar also surrender and immediately goes to bathroom.
Seeing it was only me and William, “Hey.. Old man I hear from my brother that you are quite fast at cooking. But, with this speed it will be tomorrow just to satisfy both of us. Are you plan to make your customer wait? Just hurry give us more food!!” I taunt the old man to cook faster since I sense that Gluttony can awake anytime now.
Feeling his pride as chef being challenged the old man cooking faster that can finish two-three dishes at once. The waiter also not stop moving around to serve and take the empty dish. Shortly, we enter the fiftieth dish and William also force to back normal from his rage mode. After few dishes, He surrender and left everything for me.
Looking as I was the only one left and not wanting to stop the competition yet, I provoke the old man again, “Ahhh forget it old man.. just tell others to cook everything. You cook too slow for my eating pace.” I shouted it loudly to the old man.
Infuriated by my continuous taunt, “Shut up brat, do you think this cooker can satisfy you? Just wait I will make you full in no time.” After saying that, his muscle getting bulged and the surrounding fire and water element gather around him.
At this moment, he produces 10 dishes at once using all his skill. But, all the dish gone after few second arrive in front of me. Shortly, all the ingredient starts to diminishing and empty. Left with no choice, he took a huge meat from his storage accessories. The meat is about five meters tall with depth of two meter
Looking at the meat and smell it, I startled because it contains a huge energy and mageforce. Moreover, I feel dreadfulness aura just from the meat. This must be not ordinary meat.
“Huft Alright young man, this will be the last dish with this meat as the main ingredient. This meat is the rarest in the Hirth, I also got this recipe from certain ancient ruin during my journey. If normal people taste this dish without any preparation they will die from the fluctuation energy they got while eating the dish.”
“But, looking at you eating all my dish easily, I believe you can taste this dish normally still it was dange..”
“Hey old man When I have food on my plate, I don’t leave any left even it kills me” I look at him seriously.
Touching from my word, “Alright Brat.. I will also take this gamble. Just wait there and I will serve the best dish you will ever eat.” Then he approaches the meat and order other chef to prepare some stuff.
Then, he put one of his palm to the meat while closing his eye. During this moment, all the fire element gather around him and going inside his body at the rapid phase. After few minute, he opens his eye and tap the meat from all direction with superhuman speed.
Using my perception, I can feel all the fire element on him transferred inside the meat and slowly cooking it from the inside. Then, He tap the ground and create an eight level spell diagram. The spell creates a huge downpour rain inside the diagram. However, I feel this not ordinary rain since I feel each droplet contain a huge amount of water element.
During this moment, he redirects all the water toward the meat which now getting hotter and start to produce some sizzling sound. Using the water, he encases the meat with it and make the meat absorb the water at fast rate. Then, he presses the meat using water pressure. It releases all the juice inside while keep being encases inside the water.
After few times repeated the same process, He release the water and put it inside a big bowl and served it to me.
“This dish is made from mystical beast that don’t have name as the main ingredient and combine with ancient technique cooking. This dish named Cosmos Sea” said chef David proudly
