"Let's wait and see. I'm actually a man who takes action when necessary. I can't make the food taste better, but I have plenty of ways to improve the judges' evaluation of the mashed potatoes."

I can’t take it anymore. What a cool speech. This Goblin King looks surprisingly reliable. Although he inexplicably reveals a scumbag aura, he is at least a reliable scumbag at the level of Merlin!

Oberon carried the bowl of mashed potatoes and walked straight to the group of King Arthur.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, everyone, Altria, and King Arthur of the other world, please enjoy your meal."

He said, holding the plate with a bright smile.

Under Altria's extremely expectant gaze, he slowly opened the lid of the plate.

"This is……"

Apart from a puddle of ugly mashed potatoes,

There were also two QP 100-dollar bills.

It says:

"I can still give you 5 more QP, but that's all I can give you."

"What are you doing, Oberon!" Yinggu shouted. "Who told you to use this method to improve the judges' evaluation? It's a bit too dirty!"

Moreover, you can barely afford to eat, yet you still want to pay bribes, hoping to use 205QP to get 5000QP in return, right?

"..."

The smiles on Altria's and the others' faces gradually disappeared.

A minute later, Auberon returned dejectedly with a red card warning.

"...Negotiations failed." Oberon sighed heavily.

"There's no way this negotiation will succeed," Ying Gu muttered. "What were you thinking, kid? You actually dared to bribe the Knight King with money... Seriously, who can you bribe with 200 QP? Not even me."

"I miscalculated. If our wild boar (Altria Custer) had been on the judging panel, we would have been able to handle it easily...!"

"..."

It seems that Auberon is also unreliable.

Yinggu rolled up his sleeves silently.

"...Alas, in the end, it's still up to me to take action."

"Lord Ingu, are you good at cooking?" Tristan asked.

"Not really," Yinggu said, "but I will do my best. There are always more solutions than problems."

"I see……"

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise from the judges' seats.

Altria and the others raised their score sheets and gave the next challenger a very high score.

"French Queen Group, average score 89!"

"What? Someone got such a high score right from the start?!"

Yinggu was suddenly shocked and looked at the situation on the judges' side.

[In addition to the British class, the French Union class next door also took the exam today.]

The team, led by Queen Marie of France, though not known for their culinary expertise, managed to captivate the judges with their elegant and sophisticated tea ceremony. Not only the food itself, but also the atmosphere and ritual surrounding the meal were crucial, directly influencing the judges' evaluations.

The French Queen team received a high score of 91.

"Damn it, why is it the French Queen group again..."

Yinggu still clearly remembered how difficult it was to face this enemy during the last race.

Before he could say anything, Altria and the others suddenly raised their hands to higher scores.

"Fairy Knight Group, average score 93!"

"???"

Oh my god, there are experts!

The four boys' eyes widened at once.

But when they saw that the representative of the Fairy Knight Group was Bagster, they felt it was very reasonable.

Bagster's culinary skills are indeed very high, especially when it comes to large portions and meat. He is undoubtedly the contestant who can please the judges the most among all the contestants present.

This is a formidable enemy.

"Losing to Baggezi wasn't unfair, but it was still a humiliating defeat for us."

Ying Gu said to his companions with a stern face,

"Just think about it, a group of goblin knights and a group of Frenchmen, their cooking skills easily won the favor of the Queen of England, while the Knights of the Round Table in our team are not even qualified to sit at the table. Isn't this a great shame and humiliation?"

"!"

These words really aroused the fighting spirit of Tristan and Gao Wenqing, and their eyes suddenly became more determined than ever before.

Although Oberon was not a member of the Knights of the Round Table, he was so poor that his obsession with winning was no less than that of the other Knights of the Round Table.

"You are right, Lord Yinggu..."

The two Knights of the Round Table clenched their fists without hesitation.

"For our king, we must win at all costs!"

Auberon, who was standing by, stroked his chin and asked, "That being said, how are we going to win? Ying Gu, have you figured out a plan?"

"I thought of it,"

Ying Gu said,

"I'm planning on stealing someone else's cooking skills on the spot!"

Chapter 15: Black Jeanne d'Arc Chocolate

"I'm not very good at cooking,"

Ying Gu confessed honestly,

"But there are always more solutions than problems. For example, we can imitate others' cooking steps and replicate the same dish. Since we can't surpass others in terms of physical strength, the least we can do is to close the gap.

"Based on this premise, if we can play some harmless pranks on other groups and do some small things to lower their scores, we'll have a chance to stand out."

"Oh~"

When Auberon heard this plan, he immediately respected him.

"This plan is absolutely perfect. First, they steal someone else's technology, then they lower their standards to make themselves stand out. The core of the whole plan is 'It's not about how good you are, as long as you can drag others down.' It's a genius idea!"

"Okay, okay, now is not the time to praise me!"

Ying Gu waved his hand and said.

"While this plan is well-conceived, it's probably unrealistic to copy a dish that can defeat Bagezi. At least, we don't think there's anyone in our class who can do that. Please wait a moment while I try my luck in the French class next door."

French cuisine is famous for its quality. Maybe there really is a master who can defeat Bagzi?

"No need to bother,"

Suddenly, a cool and pleasant voice sounded outside the home economics classroom.

Ying Gu recognized the familiar female voice almost instantly.

The Fairy Queen walked into the Home Economics classroom with a confident and majestic step. Her hair fluttered with every movement of her hands and feet. The bright morning sunlight shone on her fair skin, as if the warm sun was brushing against a pure and flawless iceberg.

The queen walked into the classroom with such swagger that outsiders did not feel any sense of incongruity when they saw her, as if this was her exclusive territory.

"Morgan, why are you here?"

Ying Gu thought to himself, you are an outsider, why do you appear in school so frequently recently?

"I'm the special guest for this home economics exam. After all, my alma mater is a little short of staff recently. If you need help, I'll be happy to help."

Morgan explained in a serious manner.

"I see," he nodded. "So what's your real opinion?"

"...Altria Lancer will be teaching you frequently during this period, which makes me very worried. So I plan to keep a close watch on your condition, because this red dragon definitely has ulterior motives for you."

Why do I feel like you are the one with ulterior motives?

"Morgan, aren't you worried that you won't have enough time to participate in our school activities? What will happen to your consortium?"

"It doesn't matter. I've already managed the Orkney Group in perfect order. Even if I take a long vacation, the Group will still be able to operate smoothly and methodically. Most importantly..."

She took a few steps forward, so close that she was almost sticking to Yinggu.

She spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"The Orkney Consortium will not abandon me, because I have it firmly in my hands. I hope the same is true for you. However, there is a high possibility that you will be snatched away by that Altria Lancer, the adult wild boar, so I must keep a close eye on you."

What a strong possessiveness...

The Lion King Altria, sitting on the judges' panel, suddenly stood up and glared at Morgan fiercely with her emerald green eyes.

"Morgan, you actually came here, you really are haunting me..."

"Say whatever you want, Altria. Anyway, I am an invited guest here and a judge for the Home Economics subject."

She cleared her throat lightly, as if to show her majesty as a queen.

However, those ice-blue eyes glanced at Ying Gu secretly, revealing an almost childish expression.

"As a food judge, my scores carry a lot of weight. You don't need to worry about Altria; just focus on preparing a meal for me. As long as I'm satisfied with the food you make, you'll definitely get first place in the subject exam."

"Yes, yes..."

What a confident tone she speaks, truly worthy of being the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom.

But it does come in very handy when she says it.

"So, specifically, what kind of food do you like?"

"I don't have any particular favorite food," Morgan said flatly, "but I really hate two things. One is overly greasy food or junk food, and the other is food related to insects. These are much more disgusting than the former. I refuse all of these."

It’s not difficult to avoid these pitfalls, especially when it comes to dishes related to insects.

His cooking skills and taste are not enough to handle such a niche insect dish.

"I understand. I will try to make my best cuisine for you."

Yinggu was very confident.

Morgan seemed very satisfied with the answer, smiled and nodded at him, then sat down in the empty seat in the judges' booth.

She gracefully lifted up her graceful feet wrapped in black stockings and waited quietly for his cooking to be finished.

The path to excellence in Home Economics has opened up for you.

[All you need to do is serve a decent dish to win Morgan's heart, and you'll have a chance to become the top student in Home Economics.]

【This is good news for both you and Auberon.】

[And when you turned around to share this good news with Auberon, you found that he had disappeared inexplicably.]

[Maybe he went to the bathroom, or maybe he hid because of someone.]

[Anyway, let's forget about that fake thing. Half of the time for home economics has already passed. You need to hurry up and prepare the meal.]

You know the cooking skills of your British classmates inside and out, and it's impossible for you to rely on them to surpass Bagzi, so you go straight to the home economics class of the French class next door.

When you arrive at the French classroom, the first thing you see is a cold-looking bad girl with short white hair.

【That is Black Jeanne d'Arc.】

[It seems that she has completed her exam project and made a very beautiful chocolate dessert.]

[To your surprise, the chocolates made by Black Jeanne are actually quite good. She's clearly not that type of Heroic Spirit, yet she's about to pass the Home Economics exam perfectly.]

[It seems that Black Jeanne has kept her promise to you, so she has practiced hard and has not failed the exam again.]
