As the related plot of THE BLUE surfaced in Hoshino Sora's mind, the system's notification sound also rang out very timely, and it thoughtfully revealed the rewards that would be obtained by passing the first two rounds, and these were precisely what he needed most at the moment!
The importance of Reputation Points goes without saying, and slaves are even more crucial. After all, after the Gourmet Manor expanded, the vast territory with only over a hundred people seemed somewhat empty.
After learning that the Gourmet Manor could expand infinitely, Hoshino Sora already had the idea of creating a world, creating a world from scratch. Isn't this more fun than computer games or anything else!?
And the Gourmet Manor produces delicious ingredients. These ingredients are excellent whether for sale or personal use. It's a pity the system can't recycle them; otherwise, it would be another good channel to increase Reputation Points.
Furthermore, the rewards for just the first two rounds are already so generous, what will the subsequent rewards be like?! Hoshino Sora didn't dare to think further.
According to the setting that the next reward will be better than the previous one, the value of the next reward will definitely exceed 300,000 Reputation Points! After all, the average selling price of a low-level slave is 1,000 Reputation Points.
Thinking of this, Hoshino Sora clenched his fists, his expression joyful. The students passing by looked at him with confusion but said nothing, instead walking around him.
"Look at you, so pleased with yourself, smiling so happily.
You actually stayed in the manor for two days without coming out. Not only did you miss the opening ceremony, but you also skipped the first class of the semester. The teachers who teach ran to me to complain. What am I to say about you?"
Hoshino Sora was still excited when Erina Nakiri's voice suddenly came from behind him, a voice with a hint of resentment.
"Ah? Isn't it just a small matter I had to deal with, so I stayed in the Gourmet Manor for a few more days."
Awkwardly scratching his head, Hoshino Sora dared not meet Erina Nakiri's eyes, clearly feeling a bit guilty. Hisako Arato, standing nearby, cast a sympathetic glance at him.
"You can't skip classes this semester. I've guaranteed it to those teachers. I realized I was too lenient with you last semester!
You don't do the things the Ten Elite First Seat needs to handle, and you only attend classes sporadically. What's worse, I have to do them for you and take the blame. Starting today, that's impossible. Go to class obediently!"
"Ah?! Don't do this!"
Hearing Erina Nakiri's rather annoyed words, Hoshino Sora let out a wail, then rushed to her in a few steps, staring intently at her, trying to find a turning point.
"No discussion."
"What a pity."
Erina Nakiri said, turning her head away, not wanting to look at Hoshino Sora's face, afraid that she would soften and indulge his willfulness.
However, she also knew that Hoshino Sora didn't need these classes now, but those teachers kept giving her feedback, which really annoyed her, so she simply stopped covering for him.
"But you don't have to be too dejected. I told them that as long as your cooking skills are good enough to impress them, they will exempt you from all classes for the rest of the semester."
Seeing the rather dejected Hoshino Sora, Erina Nakiri added another sentence. Upon hearing this, Hoshino Sora immediately perked up and very naturally hugged the girl in front of him: "I love you! Smooch!"
"Alright, this is still the teaching area. What kind of behavior is this? If you have anything to say, wait until we get back."
Looking at Hoshino Sora who suddenly hugged her, Erina Nakiri's cheeks instantly flushed. Her eyes darted around frantically, and she only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was around.
Then she patted Hoshino Sora's back, signaling him to let go.
"Okay! Wait for me tonight when I get back."
Hearing Erina Nakiri's words, Hoshino Sora also knew that his actions were too abrupt. After all, this was a public place, not suitable for showing affection.
"Then I'll go to class first. Call me if anything comes up."
Because of Erina Nakiri's previous promise, Hoshino Sora happily skipped away, but what he didn't notice was that a young man with black hair, fair skin, and a tie was secretly watching them from the corner of the wall where he had arrived.
Watching the two laughing, the young man turned and left, choosing not to show himself.
"Komoe-sensei, I'm here!"
On the other side, Hoshino Sora arrived at the classroom. Coincidentally, the teacher teaching this class was Yuzuki Komoe, also known as Komoe-sensei, the loli teacher.
"Hoshino, I thought you didn't like my class, since you haven't come for so many lessons."
Seeing Hoshino Sora standing at the door, Yuzuki Komoe couldn't help but tease him.
"How could that be! I love Komoe-sensei's classes the most!"
"Hmm…! Did I say not to call me Komoe-sensei? Please call me Yuzuki Komoe!"
Because she didn't like the character 'Xiao' (meaning small), Komoe-sensei's face showed an unhappy expression after hearing Hoshino Sora's address to her. Then she quickly walked to him, but due to her height, in Hoshino Sora's sight, Komoe-sensei was truly cute.
Who could refuse a legal loli?
Even though she smokes and drinks.
"Okay, understood, Komoe-sensei."
"You, you! Hmm~"
Hearing that Hoshino Sora wouldn't change his address for her, Yuzuki Komoe immediately puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, but after thinking for a while, she realized she couldn't do anything about him and just went back, sulking.
However, she was not to be trifled with. At this moment, she secretly decided that if Hoshino Sora did anything wrong later, she would immediately criticize him. She must teach him a lesson! To let him know what it means to respect teachers and value the Dao!
"Hoshino-kun, you've come to class."
As soon as Hoshino Sora entered the classroom, before he could even look around, a familiar voice came from not far away. He turned his head and saw Tadokoro Megumi. The girl was walking towards him, looking at him with surprise, as if she hadn't expected him to actually come to class.
"What are you saying! Isn't it natural for students to come to class? Speaking of which, our first meeting seems to have been in Komoe-sensei's class."
Looking at the familiar classroom, the familiar teacher, and the familiar person beside him, Hoshino Sora said with emotion, "This is where we first met!"
"Yes, but only a year has passed. Don't look like you've lived for decades, recalling the past with such emotion, okay?"
Looking at Hoshino Sora's nostalgic expression, Tadokoro Megumi complained a bit speechlessly, then actively found the cooking station they used back then, stood beside it, and gently stroked the surface with her fingers.
The corners of her mouth also unconsciously curved upwards.
"It's the Ten Elite First Seat!"
"Is the First Seat also coming to class? Suddenly, I feel like the value of my class has increased a lot."
"I've rarely seen the First Seat in class."
Seeing Hoshino Sora, the students below immediately began to discuss amongst themselves. Some looked admiring, others envious, and for a moment, the scene became a bit noisy.
"Cough, cough, everyone, please look this way."
Looking at the noisy crowd below, Yuzuki Komoe tapped the table with the pointer in her hand, and the sound made everyone's eyes focus on her.
"Today's lesson is about soup. So, how do you make a delicious pot of soup?
