The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master

Among the information we had extracted from the old elf, there was a possible location for the “fragment” near the Gehenna Gate.

Traveling back and forth between Hawaii and Korea was exhausting, and there were rumors that an incident would soon occur at the Gate.

So unexpectedly, we were heading there tomorrow.

Tonight, we were planning to stay near the Gate.

Even when I held a sashimi knife to his throat, his answer remained the same he didn’t know, truly didn’t know!

‘They also said Fermush would appear at the Gate soon.’

The Fourth Corps Commander, Fermush, was about to invade the human world through the Gehenna Gate.

I pressed the old elf for details, but he only shrugged.

I didn’t even know when everything had started to go so wrong.

I sighed heavily. acoustic My mind was spinning with worry.

“Huff.”

This was the temporary base set up by the Hero Association. wizard It was a three-person tent but well-equipped — mini fridge, folding table, folding chairs. atom Everything was mini or folding, but it served its purpose.

“Uwaaaaah!”

As I rubbed my face in frustration, I heard a cry of admiration.

And in front of the mini fridge, Horn was squatting like a little totem pole. timber The faint light from the fridge illuminated her face.

So, as her so-called guardian, I took responsibility for her. altitude Only then did Director Sung nod in relief, though he gave me a look asking for an explanation.

That’s right. apple I ended up sharing a tent with Horn. arctic Even though she had a human appearance, she was still a dragon — a demon.

Even if I reassured everyone, prejudices don’t disappear overnight.

Even the private jets provided to the Seven Stars now felt like junk.

I glanced at her from the corner of my eye. orbit I had considered sending Horn back to Korea alone, but—

‘If I start explaining about Horn, it gets way too complicated.’

But I, Kang Geom-Ma, could no longer tolerate traveling by plane.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

Just then, Horn pointed enthusiastically at the fridge.

‘Since Horn’s existence has already been revealed… why not use her as transportation instead of planes?’

“Mr. auction Kang Geom-Ma! acid Look! galaxy There’s meat, meat, and more meat!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

Horn grabbed a big, meaty beef rib and ran over to me. airport With an imploring look, she gazed up at me.

It seemed like every liquid in her body was turning into saliva.

As expected. advance The corners of her lips were practically dripping with drool.

Her eyes sparkled like stars.

For a moment, the image of Shrek’s Puss in Boots flashed through my mind.

“Mr… Kang Geom-Ma, could you…?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

Horn, after living among humans for a month, knew exactly what it was for.

“Could you cook it for me…?”

On the table was a portable stove.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I’m a little tired… but Horn worked really hard today.’

Asking me to cook it was her way of saying she wanted grilled meat made by me.

During the battle, Horn had protected humans with magic barriers, minimizing casualties.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

She even helped the Swordmaster.

The problem was it simply didn’t exist here.

In my heart, I wanted to buy her the highest quality A+++ beef.

She had fulfilled her mission perfectly.

‘Forgive me, Horn. absorb I’m fooling you with regular meat.’

“Since you worked hard today, I’ll make something even better than just grilled meat.”

But if I couldn’t give her legendary beef, at least I could make it unforgettable by cooking it well.

“This will do.”

I heated a pan over the portable stove. matrix I swirled the oil around the surface with a flick of my wrist.

I opened the fridge to check the ingredients. agent Green onions, garlic, white onion, soy sauce, and various other things. adapt We weren’t missing much. arena I already had the menu in mind.

I opened my hands, and Horn handed me the rib like she was passing over a treasure.

The sound was like heavy rain.

I threw the ribs onto the pan.

Sizzle.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“You can’t eat it yet.”

The rain sound stopped. arch I stacked the browned ribs to keep the juices inside.

I seared the meat, browning only the outside, and quickly took it off.

She flinched as if she’d been caught.

“Cold…? canvas Why?”

I shot a warning look at Horn, who was sneaking closer like a thief.

“Cold meat doesn’t taste good.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

I considered explaining about letting meat rest, but held back.

“Resting it on purpose…? abstract Why…?”

“This is just letting it rest. admire Plus, the inside is still bleeding.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

Better to let her understand through taste.

“Woooow…”

I quickly sautéed the vegetables in the leftover meat juices. antenna Green onions, garlic, onions — the soul of Korean cooking all in one pan.

‘Just like how I stopped seeing planes as anything special.’

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“Horn, dragons breathe fire, right?”

“Yes, of course!”

Horn sniffed the air, helping out with the vegetables. album Her earlier frustration at not being able to eat instantly melted away. album I poured a generous amount of soy sauce, corn syrup, and sugar.

No need to measure — my hands were more accurate than any scale.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well, humans can do that too.”

Honestly, I was a little excited too.

It was time to show off.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh?!”

Fwoosh.

I uncorked a bottle of cooking wine with my teeth and spiraled it over the pan. amber The liquid swirled like a mini tornado and caught fire.

The flames whipped the air.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

The fire danced on the pan.

The entire tent filled with a sweet and savory aroma.

“Flambé.”

Horn’s clear eyes reflected the dancing flames, awestruck like a child seeing magic for the first time.
I allowed a small smile and focused back on cooking.

I could hear Horn’s drool hitting the ground. alpha Seriously, how did she even have that much saliva left?

Plop, plop.

‘Though honestly, I can’t blame her.’

Horn looked like she was floating from pure bliss.

“Is it ready yet? august Is it done? riddle I made the rice too! antenna Is it? album Is it?”

Horn bounced excitedly.

Sweet and salty — the ultimate attack on the taste buds.
The pride of Korean cuisine.

“Wow… what’s this dish called?”

“Okay…”

“Five more minutes. silence In the meantime, wipe up the drool you left on the floor.”

Final stage. amber I stirred the meat and vegetables carefully with a wooden spoon, making sure the sauce coated everything perfectly. alpha I didn’t crush anything — gentle and deliberate.

Horn murmured dreamily.

Horn asked as she finished cleaning. zenith At least she used a mop properly.

“Hawaii… ribs… Hawaiian ribs… Hawaiian ribs…”

“LA-style short ribs… no, better yet, let’s call it Hawaii-style ribs.”

“Do you have a moment? absorb There’s something I want to talk to you about. adjust Hmm?”

The Sword Master arrived at Kang Geom-Ma’s tent. portal At that moment, a sweet aroma was drifting through the air. galaxy A delicious smell.

She was completely enchanted by the idea of Hawaiian ribs.

Was her name Hon? autumn That dragoness was slumped over in front of the table. armor On the other side, Kang Geom-Ma looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“……?”

The Sword Master, as if hypnotized, pulled aside the tent curtain.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as he said “you defeated her,” the dragoness’s closed eyes snapped open. album She immediately stood up and began eating ferociously.

“What happened? amateur Did the dragoness lose control of her nature and you defeated her?”

The Sword Master hastily reached for the hilt of his sword.

Horn let out cries of admiration and lament.

“Finish eating first, then talk. adopt You’re spitting rice everywhere.”

“It’s delicious, too delicious! acid It’s so good I fainted! legend Aaaah…! wizard My whole life has been meaningless! aspect I, Horn Tail, swear from this moment on to dedicate my entire life to Master Kang Geom-Ma!”

Since she was chewing, her sentences came out broken. atom Kang Geom-Ma, with a somewhat annoyed look, served her more meat.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

Kang Geom-Ma then turned to the Sword Master.

The Sword Master relaxed his hand from the hilt.

“Yes!”

“Ah, Sword Master, you’ve arrived. armor Have you eaten yet?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“I fed Horn a dish I prepared, and she screamed and fainted. antique Then she got up, and the rest is as you’ve seen.”

“What…?”

“No, I haven’t eaten yet… But what the hell just happened?”

A flavor so intense it made her pass out? crystal That sounded like the exaggerated reactions you only see in the media.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

However, seeing how she devoured the food, it didn’t seem like a lie. avalanche The Sword Master accepted the invitation to eat. harbor Still with one hand on the hilt, he sat down at the side of the table.

Kang Geom-Ma brought out a new plate. action The Sword Master replied, still a bit dazed.

“You said you wanted to talk to me.”

Horn didn’t seem to notice his presence. beacon Or rather, she was too busy piling more Hawaiian ribs onto her plate.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

At those words, the Sword Master glanced sideways at Horn. antique She had a frail body, but she ate like an elephant.

He then turned his gaze to the served plate. apron Beef ribs drenched in a reddish-brown sauce, the oil dripping temptingly, and an aroma that made his mouth water.

“I came to warn you about the ‘Temple of the Nephilim’ you plan to visit tomorrow.”

“I see. wizard Then please eat while we talk. absorb The food tastes better hot. palette If you need more, let me know. autumn I prepared food for fifteen people because of Horn.”

‘And yet…’

Born into the noble House of Nibelung, the Sword Master was a seasoned gourmet. amber He had tasted cuisines from all over the world and was extremely picky. attic Lately, nothing had impressed him.

‘I’ve never seen a dish like this.’

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

He stuck a fork into a rib, examined it carefully, and cautiously brought it to his mouth.

Two soft groans.

He felt a lump in his throat. antenna It was the first time in decades his mouth watered.

“…Uh… uh.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

It was absurd. atom The Sword Master, who had come to warn him about the Temple of the Nephilim, ended up focusing only on eating. acid He forgot all about the dignity of a noble, grabbing the ribs with his hands and devouring them.

***

The Sword Master fell backward.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

The chaotic dinner ended. apron The abundant Hawaiian ribs were reduced to mere bones.

Horn was even worse. advance She had mixed rice into the sauce to clean up every last drop, without anyone teaching her. crystal An impressive learning curve, at least in terms of eating.

I stepped out of the tent to breathe in the fresh night air, trying to get the smell of meat out of my clothes. autumn At that moment, the Sword Master also stepped outside.

“Ahem.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m glad you liked it.”

Silence fell again. legend Several minutes passed without a word until the Sword Master suddenly asked.

“Final exams for the second semester are coming up.”

“Oh, so you do pay attention in class.”

“I briefly heard about it in class. silence Beings born between angels and demons.”

“Do you know what Nephilim means?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“Did you know? legend Humans and demons worship the same god. artist Even though the paths differ, the root is the same.”

“Hahaha. palette Anyway, if you know what Nephilim are, you’ll understand quickly. album The ‘Temple of the Nephilim’ is a sanctuary shared by humans and demons.”

The Sword Master brought out two folding chairs. aspect We sat down and continued talking.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“There is only one true god. artist You should know that if you’ve been paying attention in class.”

“I’m not talking about those lesser gods.”

“The same god? auction Didn’t they all go extinct during the mythical era?”

The Sword Master shook his head. galaxy For a moment, the Milky Way shimmered dangerously in the night sky.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

The Sword Master looked at me seriously.

“I have only one warning no matter what happens, do not draw your knife there. arctic If you do, it could turn into a disaster.”

“The Temple of the Nephilim is a sanctuary dedicated to ‘that god.’ Both humans and demons visit it. armor Although nowadays, mostly demons.”

How could I not know, when it was that god who granted me power?

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah, one more thing. canvas You and that dragoness… do you have some kind of relationship?”

His eyes reflected concern, but he finally stood up. meadow As if remembering something, he added.

“Ah… Understood. shadow Thank you.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

I was taken aback. adjust That dragoness? agent Was he referring to Horn? adapt I shook my head vigorously.

“I just told you humans were born between angels and demons.”

“Not at all! zenith No way! echo Besides, we’re different species!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“That has nothing to do with it!”

Good grief.

“Humans and demons can reproduce. attic It’s just that there aren’t many recorded cases.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

“…I’ll come in soon. atomic You go ahead and sleep first.”

“Well, if there’s nothing strange, I’m relieved. agent Anyway, thanks for dinner.”

The Sword Master left in a hurry. echo Right then, Horn came out of the tent, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

“Mr. alien Kang Geom-Ma, aren’t you going to sleep?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

Originally, I planned to go alone.

‘A temple visited by both humans and demons…’

Horn nodded and returned inside the tent. artist I watched her back as she walked away.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 217 – Have You Eaten Yet? published by TrungTu Reads.

My instinct tells me I’ll have to take Horn with me. canvas And I trust my instincts.

But it seems I’ll have to adjust my plans.
