Chapter 79: Earning Credits.

They turned back at the same time to look at the newcomer, a graceful girl who blushed slightly as she stood behind them, and her long silver hair seemed to give off a faint glow.

Instructor Ella immediately answered happily, “Of course you may, you are very welcome, I just do not know whether Ashura’s roast will taste good, because I am clueless about barbecue!”

Ashura felt a little annoyed, as it was his setup, so why did no one ask whether he agreed or not?

He had just opened his mouth to assert his status as host when he saw Clara calmly pull out her magic staff.

Ashura shut his mouth at once and turned away to continue working.

Clara and Instructor Ella chatted and laughed while brushing Ashura’s secret sauce onto the meat, and Ashura added firewood and rotated the roasting greenwood savage bull beside them.

The nearby students of Magic Class 13 were utterly dumbfounded, unable to understand why Ashura’s shabby roast had attracted two top beauties; did all beauties really love barbecue?

The Warrior students a little farther away also watched that small area with envy.

Before anyone could figure out what had just happened, two more lovely figures walked up to the weirdo’s fire pit, spoke a few words with Instructor Ella, and cheerfully joined the barbecue team.

This instantly robbed the students of Magic Class 13 of their appetite, and only the carefree Na Wei kept eating delicacies while Kyle and the other boys were seething with anger.

The two who had just joined were Magina and Lan Yu, and after finishing their guard duty they had walked toward Ashura in unspoken agreement.

They had actually seen everything that happened over at Ashura’s side, and originally their maiden reserve had made them hesitate, but once they saw Clara take the lead they no longer wavered and hurried over.

When Ashura saw four chirping beauties in front of the fire he was momentarily confused, but the roast greenwood savage bull was big enough and the girls probably could not eat much.

He reclined against a big tree with his legs crossed, instructed the newly arrived Magina to keep turning the meat, had Lan Yu split and add wood, and let Ella and Clara brush on the second coat of secret sauce.

The four women wished they could kick Ashura when they saw how lazy he looked, yet because he had provided the roast they let him be.

The four chatted idly while Ashura occasionally interjected, and the atmosphere became quite harmonious.

Suddenly Magina’s stomach growled loudly, her face flushed, and she complained to Ashura, “How much longer until the meat is ready, why doesn’t it smell at all?”

Half-reclining on the grass, Ashura glanced at the thick hard sugar crust on the greenwood savage bull, which was the third coating of royal jelly he had told Ella and Clara to apply.

Ashura leisurely got up, walked to the huge roast, and said, “Ladies, the exciting moment has arrived; now we shall witness true deliciousness!”

With that he drew a Radiance blade, sliced a long cut through the thick sugar crust on the bull’s back, and immediately a flood of hot oil gushed out, fused with the sugar, and seeped back into the meat.

A towering aroma of roast meat spread in an instant with the steam, and the four women stared at the roast in disbelief while drool slipped from the corners of their mouths.

Mages and Warrior students nearby caught the scent and looked around, then converged on the roast.

At this moment the fragrance of the meat attracted people even more than the four beauties; Magina reacted first and reached for the roast, but before she touched it Ashura slapped the back of her hand, making her glare at him in embarrassment.

Ashura said casually, “I am afraid you will burn yourself, so let me carve the meat for you.”

After speaking he leapt several times, picked a few broad leaves from a tree, then used his knife to slice four of the tenderest strips from the roast and handed them to the four women.

Whether out of hunger or the irresistible aroma, the four girls ate without regard for image and praised the taste as they chewed.

Ashura was pleased to see them feasting, for the miscellaneous books he had read in childhood included culinary biographies.

Coupled with his training period in Beast Forest, he had done some study on grilling beast meat, which allowed him to produce such delicious barbecue.

Ashura was about to cut a piece for himself when a hand reached in from the side to grab some; he irritably caught the hand and saw it belonged to a boy from Magic Class 13 whose mouth was watering.

Blocked, the boy protested, “Ashura, let me taste your roast too,” and tried to wrench free and take the meat.

Ashura flung his hand aside and said unhappily, “How can you even ask; I did not eat your food, so do not touch my roast.”

After being refused, the boy felt humiliated and shouted, “What’s the big deal, all you make is this low-class barbecue; everyone should leave, there’s nothing good to eat!”

The surrounding onlookers ignored him completely, which made his action seem even more ridiculous.

Just then a hearty voice called out, “Ashura, you brat, that roast smells amazing; cut me a piece to go with my wine!”

A handsome middle-aged uncle, Instructor Enge, walked over with a grin while speaking, and the memory of being tormented by him earlier made Ashura uncomfortable.

Yet he could not reject Instructor Enge the way he had the Magic students, and with a glance he came up with a fine idea.

Ashura grinned as well and said, “Instructor Enge, of course you can eat, but I only roasted this one animal and many classmates have been lining up for a long time, so to be fair anyone who wants some can pay me a small service fee and I will carve meat for everyone.”

“Naturally, Instructor Enge, you will not eat for free either; just pay the same service fee as the students, and I will cut you a big ox head piece to make sure you eat your fill.”

Instructor Enge’s smile froze on his face; this kid really was not easy to take advantage of.

Before Instructor Enge could reply, one of the onlooking students shouted, “Really? How much is the service fee? Money is no object, hurry up and give me a piece, it smells fantastic!”

Ashura cast an approving look at the student who asked, for that was exactly the question he wanted.

Ashura then continued, “We are all classmates, and talking money hurts our pure friendship, so let’s say 10 Academy Points per jin of meat as the service fee.”

“Of course, if you want my roast tomorrow I need to prepare in advance, so you can pay credits now to reserve it, and I guarantee tomorrow’s roast will be different from today’s.”

“If you do not reserve and simply want to buy tomorrow, the price will double, because roasting is hard work, so everyone can take out their credits now to buy this fragrant beast roast!”

After he finished speaking, the camp fell silent for a moment, and then curses echoed throughout the camp.
