I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Linslet coughed incessantly, covering her mouth and closing her eyes, only able to mutter complaints. But just then, Linslet felt a bad premonition and quickly rolled to the side. In the instant Linslet dodged, an arrow flew past Linslet's head.

Although Linslet didn't see it, the sight of arrows whistling past her head sent chills down her spine. She hadn't expected the other person to be able to see her even in such thick smoke!

In fact, Viya couldn't see Linslet either, but she could easily hear Linslet's cough and use it to determine Linslet's location, then shoot an arrow at that spot.

However, Lindsay dodged the arrow.

After dodging the arrow, Linslet launched a counterattack, firing several arrows towards the smoke. However, Linslet felt that she hadn't hit anything, so it seemed that her opponent had dodged it.

Just as Linslet was thinking this, she felt something and suddenly looked up to see a figure wielding a bone bow swinging at her. Linslet immediately felt a sharp pain and lost consciousness.

..............................................................

That evening, in Claire's room, Claire, Linslet, and Fiana were all slumped over the table, looking utterly exhausted. Clearly, today's training had been more tiring and complicated than they had imagined. Linslet had been used as a target by Via in the Elemental Realm, while Claire had been chased by Yuhaka (the kind that wouldn't kill her), and Fiana had been constantly playing her hunting horn—even the miniature version used by Palicoes required quite a bit of lung capacity.

Not to mention that they also needed to use hunting horns to hit people.

Chapter 690 [Youyou: The strongest has already been stolen by Youyou!]

In the academy's dean's office, Grevas watched as Yuhaka and his group ran towards the elven forest for special training and said with a smile:

"Young people are really energetic... They went out for special training early this morning."

Grevas then continued, saying:

"The Elf Sword Dance Festival is only a few weeks away. If they're still taking it easy, I'll find it strange."

Although the Scarlett Squad's ranking is gradually rising, the Scarlett Squad still hasn't gathered enough members for all five squads.

Then Grevas turned back to look at her shadow and said:

"By the way, have you figured out the origins of that new alien girl called 'Viya'?"

"Sorry, there's still no result regarding this issue..."

Freya, emerging from Grevas's shadow, answered with a puzzled expression. Upon hearing Freya's reply, Grevas also crossed her arms and looked puzzled, saying:

"Oh, it seems that child, like Youyou's, also has a child of unknown origin..."

After Freya adjusted her glasses, she thought for a moment and then said:

"During these past few days of observation, I discovered that the alien girl named Viya possesses very unique... skills."

Hearing Freya's words, Grevas also showed a curious expression and asked:

"Oh, is there any unique technique involved?"

"Well, the techniques that child used seemed like hunting techniques, but for some reason they looked like assassination techniques, but... they weren't the type I'd ever seen before."

Hearing Freya's words, Grevas stroked her chin thoughtfully, then, as if giving up, said:

"Forget it, since it was the little guy who brought them, there's no need to monitor them. If there were really a problem, they would have already harmed Claire and the others."

Trusting Yuhaka, Grevas didn't doubt Viya too much, though Grevas had never seen anyone of Viya's race before.

Seeing Grevas's trust in Yuhaka, Freya looked puzzled and asked Grevas:

"The dean seems to care a lot about Youyou."

Regarding Freya's question, Grevas shrugged and said:

"Of course, but I also care a lot about the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword that's contracted with that child, Youyou. I'm quite curious about why the Holy Sword, which has always refused to be used by elves, is suddenly contracted with a child of an unknown race..."

Freya, looking thoughtful, suddenly said:

"Youyou, who exactly is that child?"

"Well...who knows...?"

Then Grevas looked at Freya and asked:

"Alright, is there anything else you need to report?"

Hearing Grevas's words, Freya adjusted her glasses and resumed a serious expression, saying:

"I received news that merchants from the [Skeleton Alliance] have infiltrated the Academy City. These people are probably planning to sell them to the students before the Elf Sword Dance Festival."

The incantation was engraved.

Upon hearing this news, Grevas's expression darkened as she said:

"They're a bunch of persistent rats. Have Alice's Wind King Knights reinforce their defenses."

Upon hearing Grevas's words, Freya nodded in understanding. Then, as if remembering something, Freya said to Grevas:

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Velcelia Eva is coming back."

Upon hearing the name, Grevas raised an eyebrow slightly and said:

"Oh? You completed the Demon-level Elf extermination mission in just a few weeks? Impressive indeed."

Freya nodded and said:

"Yes, if we're talking about the past, Verseria would undoubtedly be the strongest spirit user in this academy, but now..."

As she spoke, Freya gazed at the distant elven forest, as if looking at some little creature. Then, turning back to Grevas, Freya continued:

"Although Vercelia has never formed a team before and has completed the mission on her own, she will probably find someone to form a team to participate in order to get the chance to participate, right?"

The competition slots are limited to the top three on the school's ranking list, and I think she definitely has a chance of making it into the top three.

Upon hearing Freya's report, Grevas gave a look as if she had thought of something amusing and said:

"Is that so? That's really something to look forward to..."

As she spoke, Grevas also looked out the window towards the elven forest.

...................................................................

In the elven forest near the Aresia Elf Academy, Claire and her group continued to undergo the intense training of Yuhaka and the others. After several rounds of special training, Claire and the others were starting to get used to Yuhaka's training methods.

Thanks to the dishes provided by Yuhaka that could improve Claire and the others' physical condition, their physical abilities were effectively enhanced. Of course, they were unaware that their physical condition had improved and mistakenly believed it was the result of special training.

It's better they don't know, though. After all, dragon spirits exist in this world. If they knew that the meat they ate included the tenderloin of a Rathalos dragon, which Yuhaka liked, maybe... hehe.

"Whoo~"

After a day of intensive training, Yuhaka and Claire's group went to a hot spring in the elven forest to relax and relieve their fatigue. It was at this moment that Fiana spoke up:

"By the way, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Do you plan to make chocolates?"

To put it simply, the Valentine's Festival that Fiana mentioned is a Valentine's Day in another world. It was a memorial ceremony held hundreds of years ago to commemorate the fairy princess [Saint Valentine Sadika] who served the Fire Elemental King. The ceremony originally involved serving the elves with cookies baked with sacred flames (FFF), but for some reason, it turned into a festival for giving chocolates to loved ones in the common people.

When Yuhaka heard the word "chocolate," his eyes lit up immediately, as if he were thinking of something delicious.

Chapter 691 [Caramel Chocolate and Matcha Nama Chocolate]

After deciding to make chocolate, everyone took advantage of the time before the college's curfew to go outside and buy a large amount of chocolate-making materials.

After buying the chocolates, Yuhaka and the others started making their own. Everyone did their own thing, except for Claire and Fiana, who weren't very good at cooking. Yuhaka and Linslet did quite well.

However, when making the chocolates, everyone did it separately, because that way it felt more surprising...

On Yuhaka's side, Yuhaka placed a large pile of chocolates he had bought from Academy City on the cutting board, and used Esther, who had transformed into a small knife, to chop all the dark chocolates into small pieces. After chopping, he put them into a large bowl for later use.

Then Yuhaka took out a pot, placed it on the stove, and poured in white sugar, high-fat cream, milk, and other ingredients. He then turned on the heat and started stirring constantly until it thickened slightly. He then turned off the heat, poured in the previously prepared dark chocolate shavings, and began stirring to allow the dark chocolate to melt well and blend with the other ingredients.

After the chocolate had completely melted and mixed, Yuhaka poured it into the molds he had prepared, covered them with lids, and then blew on them with an icy breath. Instantly, the caramel chocolates were ready.

After taking each solidified caramel chocolate out of the mold, Yuhaka looked at the caramel chocolates, which resembled fruit candies, with a very satisfied expression.

Esther, standing to the side, looked at the caramel chocolates on the plate with a curious expression. Seeing this, Yuhaka picked one up and offered it to Esther to try. After seeing Yuhaka feed her, Esther opened her mouth without hesitation and put Yuhaka's finger in her mouth as well. After Yuhaka pulled his finger out of Esther's mouth, Esther chewed on the caramel chocolate in her mouth.

Esther's eyes lit up immediately, and she said to Yuhaka:

"Delicious! 0~0 ~"

After leaving some caramel chocolate for Esther, Yuhaka began making the next chocolate, which was matcha nama chocolate.

Unlike the dark chocolate used before, this time Yuhaka used white chocolate. Yuhaka chopped the white chocolate into small pieces, just like the dark chocolate before, and then placed them in a large bowl.

Next, Yuhaka took out a packet of matcha from the dimensional hole, and then took out a flour sieve. After placing the flour sieve on the clean pot, Yuhaka put the matcha powder on it and then poured it in to sift it once.

After sifting, Yohaka also pours a little bit of high-fat cream into the pot and stirs it well. After stirring well, she adds a little bit of high-fat cream and continues stirring. After repeating this process once more, it's ready.

Yuhaka placed the stirred matcha on the stove to heat it and continued stirring. Then, Yuhaka turned off the heat, stirred it a few more times, and then added the white chocolate shavings that were placed aside to the heated matcha and stirred until the white chocolate shavings and matcha were blended together.

After finishing those, Yuhaka took out several rectangular molds and placed a layer of parchment paper inside each mold. Then, he poured the matcha raw chocolate sauce from the pot into the molds with the parchment paper, smoothed it out, and wrapped them with plastic wrap. Yuhaka did the same for the remaining molds. After that, he put all the molds wrapped in plastic wrap into a box and then breathed icy cold air at the box.

After waiting a while, Yuhaka took out all the molds from the box, removed the plastic wrap, and then took out the solidified matcha raw chocolate from the molds.

After tearing off the parchment paper, Yuhaka sprinkled sifted matcha powder on both sides of the matcha raw chocolate. Then, he used a slightly heated knife to cut the matcha raw chocolate into small cubes. Yuhaka also tasted some of the scraps. The combination of the milky aroma of the raw chocolate and the slight bitterness of the matcha powder created a distinct flavor profile.

Meanwhile, Esther, standing to the side, also opened her little mouth towards Yuhaka, like a fledgling waiting to be fed by its mother.

Yuhaka also picked up a piece of matcha raw chocolate and stuffed it into Esther's mouth. Esther chewed on the matcha raw chocolate and her eyes lit up just like before.

After Yuhaka cut off the edges of the matcha raw chocolate, he gave the rest of the scraps to Esther.

After cutting all the matcha raw chocolates into small squares, I took out a piece of parchment paper and cut out a square notch about a quarter the size of the matcha chocolate squares. Then, I used this notch to sprinkle a little bit of powdered sugar on the matcha raw chocolates, making them look like a black (green) and white chess piece. The matcha raw chocolates were then finished.

After making the caramel chocolate and matcha raw chocolate, Yuhaka took out the boxes he bought from Academy City to package the chocolates and then delivered them to Bronya and Jilin respectively.

The remaining Ehohaka was intended for Claire and the others, while Esther's share was also kept.

.................................................. ...........................................

In the world where Ji Lin and her friends live, Ji Lin is currently cooking in the kitchen. At the same time, Anna is helping Ji Lin by chopping vegetables and serving plates. Although Yuhaka has gone to another world to deal with troubles, there are many kitchen cats helping Ji Lin cook, so there is no need to worry about Ji Lin getting tired.

After a long afternoon of hard work, Ji Lin wiped the sweat from his brow with a towel and said to Anna beside him:

"Anna, you've worked hard."

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Anna shook her head and said:

"Hmm... It's nothing. For me, this is already commonplace."

"Used to it?"

Hearing Anna's answer puzzled Ji Lin for a moment. Then, as if sensing something, Ji Lin reached out and took out several small boxes from the dimensional hole, leaving Ji Lin looking puzzled.

"What's this?"
