" yes, a hundred years. So it's either you cook and lose then hand me a decade or your life, or forfeit and hand me a century of your life. It's your call," Mater Fubara said with a slight shrug.
Kenji looked at the so called master chef with his mouth wide open; bullsh*t! This is no great master chef, this is a great master killer!!
Having no other choice, Kenji sighed, he now hoped that the meal he was going to prpare was going to be good, and that master Fubara hadn't seen anything like that before.
" Judging by your exppression, it seems you have made up your choice to just cook for me," said master Fubara, whole staring at Kenji a bit sinisterly.
" You can use any of the ingredients over in that spacial box and use the stove right there," he added, as he pointed at the spacial box and stove.
Kenji only nodded, as he felt like if he opened his mouth, he might just say something bad; like the heck people? Since he got to this damned world, it seems like it's one bad luck after the other.
First, he was kicked out of the so called hero's party, which was formed by the king using his friends after summoning them to this world.
Second, he was scammed and threatened by that crazy saleslady and lost a gold coin to her. Even if he has stack of gold coins in his spacial ring, don't forget that Kenji was once a business man in a monster company, and so even if he was scammed a dollar, it would sting him just as much as being scammed a thousand dollars. No matter the case, it was still money, and the more the better, the less the worst. Being scammed was no fun, even if it was a little replaceable money. It would be better to give it over to someone else willingly than to be scammed.
Third, he thought he could live his dream of becoming a great cook, and so decided to enter this stupid disciple trial and try his best to win master Fubara's favor. But it seems that won't be possible, as this man is no master chef, he's even worse than the saleslady who took money from him. This guy wants to take a part of his life span. He actually didn't know if it was possible to do that. But this is a world that runs by magic, if such a thing is said by a well known master, like this killer ( master Fubara) over here, then he might actually be able to do it, so it was better not to test it.
Kenji then walked over to the spacial box, and began looking for the ingredients that he needed.
Master Fubara on the other hand, seems to be trying to keep a straight face, but fails, as it turns into a slight inaudible chuckle every single time.
He couldn't believe that every single person who had walked in here and he told their life expectancy would be taken away from them after failing the trial actually believed him!
The only way to take away the life span of one is to use a grave stone, and many people don't know much about it.
Using that knowledge, he got a guy who would bring him a cleansing stone and shape it like that of a grave stone.
Then once the participants lose, he would place the stone on top of their heads, and let the stone suck away all the dirt, both inside and outside of this body.
Whenever they felt this suction force, they would think that it was their life being taken away from them, not knowing that it was actually just their dirt.
So whenever he see's their exppression of fear unfold in front of him, he couldn't help but want to laugh. But due to his image, he didn't want anyone to know that he was just playing a prank on them.
A disciple? Ha! He is the great spirit chef, Master Fubara! He doesn't need a disciple. Besides, he was only one hundred and seventy two years old, he was still young. He didn't need a disciple to pass on his culinary arts. At least not yet.
Kenii scoured through the spacial box for about three minutes, and was finally able to find his ingredients!
Immediately, he began cooking, and when the wafting smell of both the rice and curry swept into master Fubara's nose, his body stiffened.
The aroma didn't end there, those who were outside the kitchen were also able to smell it, and their mouths began to drool.
" Is it that young man that is making such a meal? I have never percieved such a wonderful aroma before,"
" Yes, it is incredible! What meal is this?!"
Comments were being made all over the restaurant, and Raphael raised his head up woth a smile. He knew that this was coming from that estranged little brother of his, as he knew he was still the one inside. Though, he couldn't believe that this was actually coming from him completely.
Crack~
He suddenly felt something break in his body, and Immediately a shocked exppression grew on his face; he had just broken through to the next level of his rank! And it was all due to the aroma of a meal?
Many others in the restaurant also began to break through one of their levels, something they thought was impossible.
The amount of resources needed to break through to the n xt level was so astronomical that people even forgot that breaking through to a new level was even possible!
" What kind of master chef is in there. I've tasted master Fubara's food, and this is definitely not his, at least mater Fubara isn't able to let others break through with just an aroma, that's for sure,"
People began to anticipate when Kenji was coming out of the kitchen, as they felt enormously grateful to him.
If all this crazy events was happening outside the kitchen, then what might be happening inside the kitchen?
Kenji was whistling whilst cooking, enjoying the aroma from the meal. But master Fubara wasn't so much the same.
He had just felt himself break through to the next level. Not once, but twice! A level he had thought he might never cross, and here he was having breaking through to the next level just due to the smell of the food. What might happen if he actually ate it? He might increase his rank?!
Thump~
Kenji turned off the stove and wanted to face master Fubara when he heard a loud thud on the ground.
As he looked down, he was shocked to see master Fubara bowing full body down to him!
" What the heck is going on here?"
But he didn't get a response to his question, on the contrary, he almost got a heart attack with master Fubara's next words.
" Oh Master! Fubara greets legendary master Kenji-san! Please take me in as your disciple!"
