Gaming Sword Magician

Chapter 59: Judging!

Under their excited glares, Patricia replied, "I can't decide. Both of the dishes tasted excellent and were decorated beautifully. But I can say for sure, it was the best dishes you both have ever cooked!!"

As a famous prodigy daughter of the Head Magic Chef that serves the Northern Duke of the Water kingdom, Patricia has eaten a lot of different cuisines. She was capable enough to decide the quality of a dish with some bites, hence her words were right on the mark.

But they were not true!

"Next time, I will defeat you!" Jennifer said, proudly posing as a Queen by puffing up her chest.

Christopher smiled and replied to Jennifer, "Sure, you know where to find me. Come anytime and I will be waiting for you with open arms."

He intentionally phrased his words like that, to tell her that he was willing to get back together with her, as long as she was also willing.

The two chefs believed that the match ended in a draw, but the real judge hasn't made his decision yet!

The real judge stuffed his face with the last Fried Chicken. He has eaten a bowl of egg-fried rice and six pieces of fried chicken, even he was surprised at his ability to eat so much.

When Whittaker placed the last bone on the palate, system notifications popped up and covered his vision.

[Guardian has gained +1 Battle energy]

[A new stat has been Unlocked: "Battle Energy". Guardian can use attribute points to increase Battle Energy]

[Guardian has successfully become an F-rank Battle Master. Missions related to Battle Master will commence from tomorrow]

Whittaker knew that this was going to happen as gaining battle energy was the effect of Christopher Magical dish.

He gazed at the two Magic Chefs that had believed that the match has ended in a draw. Hewas an honest person and wanted to clear their confusion. He wanted to tell them that Christopher's dish was better than Jennifer's, but he had heard Patricia's remarks. She was a professional judge while he was just a young boy, and also a mage. He couldn't tell them that his battle energy has increased by eating the fried chicken, now can he? Unless he wants to expose the fact that he is a Battle Master. He didn't want to expose it to anyone, not until he talks with Headmaster Yeon. So, he could only remain silent, regretfully.

[Do not fret Guardian, you can make judgments on their dish. If you want to avoid trouble then just don't tell them about the increase in battle energy.]

"Heh?" To his surprise, the Night Will's system actively took part in his life to solve his problem.

'So, does it mean that I can tell them that my physical condition has improved?' Whittaker thought.

[Yes!]

"Are you full? Did you enjoy the meal?" Patricia lovingly asked Whittaker, who was going to announce the real winner.

"Yes, the meal was good, and I think I... Never mind." Whittaker wanted to eat more, but he controlled his shameless desires with a blushing face.

"I what?" Patricia asked while lovingly pinching his cheeks.

"I want to make an announcement!" The two chefs were casually chatting with each other when Whittaker attracted their attention.

"What is it?" Christopher, Patricia, and Jennifer were startled by his sudden exclamation.

Successfully gaining their attention, Whittaker continued, "The egg fried rice melted in my mouth and refreshed me as if it was a magical spring bath that can heal cut wounds. While the fried chicken was crunchy and the meat was soft, the combination of the crunchiness and the softness thoroughly addictive. After eating the six fried chicken, I also felt improvements in my physical conditions!"

"What did you say at the end?" Jennifer and Christopher stood up in shock, unable to believe what he just said!

Whittaker beamed a smile to the magic chefs and repeated what he had said,

"My physical conditions improved after I licked clean the last Fried chicken piece!"

"No way! It's elixir cooking?" Jennifer blurted out in shock while staring at Christopher.

Even Christoper was shocked as only a 4-star Chef could cook food that increases a person's Physical condition. He was sure that he still needed some weeks to step on that peak. He was still a peak 3-star chef, so how could his dish have such a mystical effect?

From the looks of his honest crystal clear eyes and beaming twinkling smile, the snowy-haired boy didn't seem to be lying.

If he is not lying then what's the truth?

"Only Patricia can tell!" Christopher shouted. He stared at Patricia with a look of excitement tinged with apologies.

"Yes, can you?" Jennifer asked her.

"I will all five of them, and check out the actual effect," Patricia replied.

She has complied with the wishes of her dear friends and was willing to be merciless to her tummy. She started to eat the other five pieces of fried chicken, one by one, as the last one finished, her eyes closed, a while later, she opened them and exclaimed,

"This definitely isn't a normal Fried chicken! I can feel the battle energy within my body increasing! This is is an elixir cuisine for sure, but why didn't I notice it at first?"

4-star and the above Magic dish were described as "Elixir Cuisine", as they had the properties to permanently increase a person's strength.

Christopher and Jennifer also felt confused.   

"I know it!" With a snap of his fingers, Whittaker said. Words to words, he announced what was written in the system description, "The ingredients used to cook this dish are King Chicken leg and breast pieces, onions soaked in vinegar, Sunset sunflower oil, all seasoned with battle energy and several magical condiments. All of these ingredients are rich in energy. Every inch of the fried chicken was packed with a rich aroma that contains battle energy and energy from magical herbs. Once a person eats six pieces of it, the energy is enough to permanently increase the strength of a person. Pat only ate a piece, so she judged incorrectly, as the strength eating effect only occurs after six pieces are eaten."
