"Let's eat," Yi-Han said.
The soup in the pot placed over the campfire bubbled vigorously. Fresh vegetables and meat were stir-fried and added, followed by water and seasoning from opened cans, resulting in a properly made soup.
Of course, Yi-Han had cooked it.
"??"
"????"
Gubon and Bijidek missed the timing to ask, "Why are you doing this?" They quietly received the wooden bowls.
The White Tiger Tower students ate very naturally.
"Wardanaz, you haven't lost your touch," Dolgyu commented.
"His cooking skills are as impressive as his magic," Anglago added.
"By the way, Mr. Gubon, do adventurers usually eat like this?" Dolgyu asked curiously.
Gubon pondered how to explain it, then scratched his head and answered, "When solving nearby missions or on the first or second day of a mission, we do eat well..."
When the distance was close or the mission seemed to end quickly, adventurers also paid attention to the quality of food. However, for long-distance expeditions or large-scale ruins and dungeons, it was different. Efficiency and compression were absolute. No crazy person cared about taste when they might starve at any moment.
"I see. So for a mission like today, it's appropriate to eat like this," Raphael said.
"I thought adventurers only ate dried jerky," Anglago remarked.
"It seems there was some exaggeration," Dolgyu concluded.
"...No, even if we eat well, it's rare to eat this well..." Gubon said, perplexed.
"Eating well" meant consuming fresh fruits, bread, or rice cakes they brought before they spoiled, not preparing such an elaborate meal. Obtaining water for cooking and using fire for cooking also required energy. Adventurers who spent that much energy on a single meal were rare.
"You don't eat like this?" Yi-Han asked.
"Yes... Because water and fire are all hard to come by," Gubon replied.
"I see."
Yi-Han nodded and looked at his friends. The White Tiger Tower students protected their soup with their hands, a habit formed at Einroguard.
"I... I won't give it back," Anglago said.
"I had no intention of taking it. I already cooked, so what can I do? Though, without magic, this would all be work," Yi-Han remarked.
Looking at it, Yi-Han also thought that if he had done this without magic, it would have taken quite a lot of time and energy.
"Then from now on, we'll also have simple adventurer preserved food..." Yi-Han began.
"Hey, there's no need to decide so hastily, Wardanaz," Anglago interrupted.
"That's true. Mr. Gubon here also said to eat well when we can," Raphael added.
Anglago and Raphael desperately tried to persuade Yi-Han. Honestly, this was tastier than the meals from the knights' quarters.
Gubon's colleague, Bijidek, tilted his head.
"This soup is surprisingly delicious."
"Isn't it because the ingredients are good?" Gubon asked.
"I watched while helping with the cooking, and there was nothing particularly special about the ingredients... Could it be the water?"
"Water? What about the water?"
"It's the water the mage summoned, isn't it?"
"Oh, indeed. That could be it."
As the two adventurers whispered, Anglago scraped his bowl and the pot with a ladle, only to be hit by Yi-Han.
"Eat in moderation. The two of them need to eat too," Yi-Han scolded.
"Ah... No... It would be a waste if there were leftovers..." Anglago mumbled.

When the time came, Yi-Han quietly got up. The two adventurers said they would take turns keeping watch, but Yi-Han refused. If he let them develop lazy habits, it could become troublesome later when there were no adventurers around.
'By the way, the guild really recommended diligent people.'
Their willingness to take the lead in everything left a strong impression on Yi-Han. He had heard that many adventurers had poor personalities, but it seemed the guild had recommended truly reliable talents.
"Eyes, pierce through the darkness," Yi-Han cast.
There was no need to be bored during the night watch. Yi-Han cast a dark vision spell and began reading a magic book. It was a level of madness that would make other White Tiger Tower students shudder.
A true dark mage need not heed the whims of undead from other realms, for they should be able to move the dead with pure will alone. Here, the commands for skeletons...
While other dark mages comfortably made contracts with undead in the undead realm and summoned them, Yi-Han used old-fashioned dark magic that directly assembled bones, as the skull principal had strongly recommended learning "authentic ancient dark magic." However, it wasn't without advantages. If there were truly no advantages, Yi-Han wouldn't have done it despite the skull principal's insistence.
