    Chapter 99 Extra (2) Ultimate Cooking Duel on School Open Day…

    After eating, the two came to the Imperial First Academy together.

    Although Arnold wasn’t here for the first time, it was his first time coming to the academy as a “parent” of an Imperial First Academy student. Arnold found this quite novel, especially with Amorris by his side.

    The afternoon breeze in spring wasn’t hot, but gave people a fresh and comfortable feeling. The two walking on the street like this felt pretty good.

    Since the Imperial First Academy was built on the capital planet, its facilities were naturally top-notch. Several of the scenes on campus had become popular check-in spots on StarNet, and now, these benefits were naturally enjoyed by Amorris and Arnold.

    The two walked through a long tree-lined path, enjoyed a pleasant midday stroll, and finally arrived at the main venue for the school open day.

    Looking at the large and small tents next to the main stage, one could tell that today’s event was already underway. These tents were booths for each class. Some sold things, and some were pure performances, such as having their pets perform backflips.

    Amorris’s class set up a 1v1 duel arena between real insects and mechs. The mechs were controlled by a simulation system, and then it was a contest of flesh and metal. Amorris didn’t quite understand the details. He was only responsible for setting up the venue, and then he heard his classmates shouting about real female insects and passion and rushed up.

    But it was also good that he didn’t participate in the arena duel, so he had time to accompany Arnold around today.

    The two participated in the activities of several booths along the way. It must be said that some classes designed very interesting activities.

    With the two’s tireless (shameless) efforts, today’s harvest could be described as abundant, especially the shooting booth, which contributed the most to the two.

    Look at his smile, his big white teeth are showing, he should be very happy, right? Amorris thought so.

    At this time, the owner of the shooting booth had already gritted his teeth behind his back.

    Amorris was fine, at least he was a student, and it was tolerable that his strength was a bit outrageous, but Arnold was a Major General! Isn’t it a dimensionality reduction strike to have a Major General participate in this kind of activity!

    No! This is cheating! He wants to report it!

    Who would have thought that the student’s parent would be a Major General? Who would have thought that the Major General would abandon his work and run to school to participate in this kind of boring activity?

    Huh, wait? Did something strange just float past?

    The shooting booth owner scratched his head.

    So the Major General is a “parent”?

    Oh! So the Major General is a parent!

    The booth owner knocked his right fist on his open left hand, suddenly realizing.

    Speaking of which, he hadn’t heard the news of the Major General’s marriage. Did he get married recently?

    The booth owner looked at the departing Arnold, still thinking in his heart: Should I wish the Major General a happy marriage?

    Time passed quickly, and just as Amorris and Arnold were almost done strolling and were about to go home, an accident happened.

    Someone who didn’t know where he came from suddenly grabbed Arnold’s arm, his eyes shining the moment he saw him.

    He clutched his stomach, looking pained, but still stubbornly grabbed Arnold: “Major General Arnold, why are you here?”

    “No, never mind that.”

    “Major General Arnold, please help me!”

    “It’s over there—”

    “That place that says Ultimate Cooking Duel—”

    “They’re still missing a judge, I really can’t do it—”

    “Please, Major General Arnold!”

    “Then it’s settled~”

    He rattled off a bunch of things to himself and ran away, leaving Arnold alone messed up in the wind.

    Following the direction that person pointed before he left, there was indeed a separate area from the others. One could vaguely smell the aroma of food mixed with some unspeakable smells.

    Amorris quietly covered his nose.

    It seemed like something was burnt.

    And Arnold, who was standing aside, finally remembered who that inexplicable person was in his mind at this moment.

    That person also belonged to the military, but was not in the same legion as Arnold, and was more responsible for clerical work, so there was not much intersection with Arnold’s work.

    Arnold could remember because he had accidentally run into the other person in the military before and had met him once.

    But if he were to help—

    Arnold turned his head and looked at Amorris with an inquiring look.

    Amorris was aroused by this strange smell and felt a little curious: “Then let’s go take a look.”

    The two walked over quickly.

    When they got there, they saw a circle of people surrounding the area.

    Inside were several students cooking, and the judges were sitting behind them, but their faces didn’t look too good.

    Amorris then turned his attention to the students who were cooking. They were all in a hurry, and some people felt like the pot in their hands was about to burn. The “food” in the pot seemed to have added some “instant death” debuff.

    Not only was the color bizarre, but the shape was also strange, and it was impossible to tell what the raw materials were.

    This wasn’t their fault. Zerg could survive by eating nutrient solution, one tube a day, simple and convenient. Moreover, there were cooking robots that could take care of most of the dishes, and the taste wasn’t bad, so no one would specifically learn to cook.

    Amorris rubbed his chin.

    He suddenly felt a little itchy.

    As for Arnold over there, the remaining judges had already grabbed him the moment he appeared.

    Amorris looked at Arnold, who had already taken a seat on the judging panel, and suddenly had an idea.

    He walked to a sign and said:

    “Hello, how do I sign up?”

    So when Arnold saw Amorris again, the other party was already walking towards them with a plate of food that was at least pleasing in color and smell.

    Except for Arnold, the remaining judges’ eyes lit up when they saw Amorris and the plate in his hand.

    They had noticed this student just now. The cooking posture was very experienced, the knife skills were also very good, and the dishes served looked good, and seemed to have quite a lot of experience.

    The judges then began to look at Amorris’s information.

    A student in the mech department is so good at cooking, is it to please his future male partner?

    But not to brag, just based on the other person’s appearance…

    Under the setting sun, Amorris’s golden hair curled slightly over his shoulders, reminiscent of the light golden sand on the beach in summer, shimmering in the sun. When those blue eyes look at you gently, even poison would be willing to drink it.

    Moreover, the dish that the other party is holding in his hand clearly looks delicious!

    Arnold, who was on the side, was not confused by the beauty. Based on his rich experience, things would never be so simple.

    Sure enough.

    He put down his chopsticks, trying to endure the churning in his stomach.

    He didn’t know why, but even though Amorris’s cooking steps were correct, there was always a problem every time he made it!

    Arnold felt that his tongue had lost its sense of taste.

    The judges on the side were expressionless, and suspected that they had lost all their strength and means.

    But when Arnold ran into Amorris’s expectant gaze—

    He turned his head, closed his eyes, and looked embarrassed, as if he was undergoing a long and painful struggle in his heart.

    Finally, he raised the sign and gave a perfect score.

    Amorris was happy, Amorris said that he would make a hearty dinner for Arnold when he got back.

    Today is also a day to pray for Arnold’s stomach.
