The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 28: It's a secret

The demon who just received his name was surprised. Right that moment, they reached the end of the forest and saw the vast sea reflecting the light of the sun. It was already evening by then.

It was Adonis's first time seeing a sun with a clear sky. There were people working down there, some of them probably going back home from their work. It was a busy city filled with people.

"Welcome to the city."

Adonis cried because he was feeling alive after a long time. He was free from his suffering.

"Let's go, we have to rent a room to rest for the night."

"Yes, master."

Both of them went into the city to find a decent room, but it was filled. The territory was filled with people because of the entrance exam. There were so many people who came from another kingdom to participate.

There are only 3 academies in the Vestrain kingdom.

The first one is the,

Royals Academy.

This is where only the noble people and the imperial persons are allowed. Which is situated in the Capital city.

The second one is Norelence Academy.

A simple academy where noble people who failed the exam 3rd time or get expelled from the Royals academy. It's the most dangerous academy in the kingdom.

And the last one is Lyfrone Academy.

It's the most mysterious academy on the whole continent.

Every year, thousands of students from 5 kingdoms gather to participate in the entrance exam but only 15-17% pass.

Even if someone is the prince or the next king of a kingdom, if he fails the exam, he can't enter.

Many nobles don't participate in the exam because of their prestige. Even the royal people don't participate in the exam.

-This is something I wrote from my imagination. But I've never written the details of them.

So, the academy I am going to enter is the Lyfrone Academy. Because I want to see what kind of mystery is waiting in there for me to explore.

The Lyfrone Academy is on an island of the territory which is connected to the mainland by a huge bridge. So the bridge is the only way in and out.

-I wrote it like this because there's a reason for this. The academy holds so many secrets and it should be protected from everyone.

But the thing is, I don't know what it is. I didn't bother to think about it because it was unnecessary to write about it back then. But now, I really regret it.

"Master, is this house that human lives in ?"

Viktor and Adonis were walking down the road of a marketplace filled with inns and other shops.

"No, it's a marketplace, and the long huge buildings are called hotels or inn. This is where people rent a room to rest when they are far away from their house."

"So we are going to rent a room now, master?"

"Yes, but I think we are pretty late. The hotels are all booked."

Both of them walked around from place to place and finally, they found a room to stay for 3 weeks Because the exam is in 3 weeks. And Viktor already planned to rest a house by selling a potion.

"Master, are we going to eat human food?"

-Oh, I forgot. Adonis is a demon who has never tasted anything besides the raw meat of the monster. Also, human flesh is their favourite food. But they didn't know that their taste buds are created in the same way as humans.

"Yes, we are going to eat steak and beer. I am 15 now so I'm allowed to drink."

"But master, I've never tried human food before."

"The sausage I gave you back in the dark forest was also a human food. So don't worry. You will be so surprised that you wasted half of your life eating raw meat."

"Then I will do it."

"Do you want to hear something similar between a human and a demon?"

"Humans and demons?"

Adonis was curious.

"Yes. Human flesh is the best food in the demon kingdom right? It goes the same for humans."

There was a man who was a famous chef in a restaurant. He was famous for his meat steak and meat-related dishes.

One day, a duke came to his restaurant to taste the so-called famous meat dish he used to prepare.

The duke ordered 1 plate and the chef cooked his food with more love and care. The duke was so surprised to taste his meal that he hired him as his personal chef.

After several years of his duty, he finally reached the age of his retirement and left the duke's house with honour and a huge retirement money.

After he left the house, a new chef came from the imperial palace. But, no matter what he cooked, nobody in the house liked it. In just 2 days after the old chef's retirement, everyone in the duke's household became sick because they didn't like the food so they didn't eat a single bite.

The new chef was worried. So he decided to go to the previous chef's house to find out about his secret recipe. That day in the morning before breakfast time, he left with his horse.

The old man's house was near a forest which was famous for a demon's territory so it was a little difficult to reach his house.

The old man was at home at that time so he felt lucky.

When the new chef asked about his secret recipe after explaining about the situation of the duke's house, he laughed out loud and whispered something in his ears and gave him a bag full of meat. Then he said,

"It's freshly caught. You can even feel the warmth right?"

The new chef was scared and so disgusted that he vomited out everything he ate last night. But he had nothing left to do. He went back to the duke's house and prepared the morning breakfast with the meat he bought from the old chef's house.

That morning, every family member of the duke's house ate their meal like an animal. The chef was standing there like a frozen statue because he felt like he committed a crime. That morning, the duke honoured him as the head chef and gave him a big amount of money to satisfy their hunger just like the old chef did.

The new chef thought about something. "If nobody knows about this, then it's okay right? The old man passed his secret recipe to me, and I will pass this recipe to my son. This will be the ticket to our wealthy life. "

Thus, the duke's family ate the demon flesh from generation to generation without them even knowing what was going on in the kitchen. Still, the generation of the chef serves the demon flesh secretly. "

Adonis was too shocked to hear the story from Viktor that he was forced to change his point of view about the humans by himself.

"Then, humans can eat the demon flesh as well master?"

"Yes, but humans don't eat the animals who can talk. They don't even eat animals who have a small amount of intelligence in their brains such as dogs, cats, dolphins and owls. Only a small number of people eat it, but most of them don't even know what they were served with."

"So, the humans are not some small fry creature master."

"No, humans are much more dangerous than you can think of. They might not have any claws or sharp teeth, but they are manipulative and twisted."

Adonis was speechless by hearing the new nature of humans.
