The teachers were all baffled when they saw that the examination room was suddenly filled with kitchenware.

  They were too shocked that Mag owned a storage device. Although they were quite rare, one could still own one as long as they were rich enough.

  However, the fact that Mag brought a full set of kitchenware and a stove with him for an examination made everyone speechless.

  Meli watched Mag and smiled as she got ready to watch the show.

  This man was quite interesting. She wanted to see how he could present his cooking tutorial dressed like that.

  “These are the ingredients that you asked for but I did not manage to find chili and garlic,” Hera told Mag as she walked in with a basket.

  Mag received the basket and said with a smile, “Thank you. I have those two ingredients with me.”


  Hera looked at Mag’s warm smile and blushed. She nodded and said, “It… it’s alright. It’s just a small matter.” After that, Hera greeted Luna and the teachers and turned to leave quickly, even closing the door behind her.

  Luna walked to the judging table and sat on a chair at the side.

  Mag pulled out some chili and garlic from his storage box and told Elton, “I’m ready. We can begin the test.”


  “Are you sure you’re ready?” Elton questioned as he looked at Mag who was still in his trench coat.

  “Yes.” Mag nodded with certainty.

  “Then let’s begin.” Elton nodded. Since things had already gotten to this stage, it would seem like he was being unreasonable if he protested further.

  He wanted to see what this man, who could change Luna’s mind, was capable of and if he was really worth Hope School adding a new chef profession.

  “Students. As a chef, the first lesson I am teaching you today is to be appropriately dressed. If you’re dressed like me, you’re not fit to enter the kitchen.” Mag put on his teacher persona immediately. He removed his trench coat and put it on the table at the side. He unbuttoned his suit and placed it on the table as well, leaving only a fitted white shirt, which one could roughly see the shape of his abs through.

  “The chef’s battlefield is the kitchen. Our weapons are the cleaver and spatula. And a proper chef’s suit is our armor. What I am wearing is obviously not good enough. However, due to our current limited conditions, I am unable to change. However, we still have to be as strict as possible.” Mag rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, wore his apron, and put on his chef’s hat.

  “When you’re cooking for people, the top priority is cleanliness. Therefore, we have to get rid of any possible contamination that might get into the food like our hair and the dirt on our clothes.” Mag poured a basin of water and said as he washed his hands, “After changing into a chef’s outfit, the first step is to wash your hands. The basic requirement of a chef is to have a clean pair of hands…”


  Mag’s voice was gentle and alluring. His content was interesting and his actions were not stiff. The judges were actually absorbed in his teaching unknowingly.

  Luna, who was listening at the side, also nodded her head profusely. She was previously worried that Mag would not be suitable to teach and she might have to guide him.

  Now, it seemed as though those worries were unwarranted. Mr. Mag was a natural teacher.

  “The way he took off his clothes… is so suave…” Meli was focusing on the wrong points. Although she was trying to concentrate on Mag’s teaching, she could not help but glance at his handsome face and eight-pack abs.

  “Today, we are learning a dish called eggplant with garlic sauce. If you know the dish, it would actually seem like fish is one of the ingredients but that is not the case. Therefore, to make it seem that way, we will have to put in effort for the seasonings and side ingredients.”


  ?It was as though Meli was struck by lightning. She suddenly remembered why Mag’s name sounded so familiar. Isn’t he the Mr. Mag from the magazine she was reading on her way back?

  The owner of Mamy Restaurant! The one who was once titled the best chef in the Roth Empire King’s birthday banquet.

  She had a lasting impression of that eggplant with garlic sauce tutorial. Of course, as a young mistress who had not done any housework, she had not tried to make it but just thought that the food would taste good after simply reading the tutorial.

  When she returned, she was tortured by her family drama and after that, she was so busy preparing for the examination that she did not have time to eat in Mamy Restaurant.

  To think that this is what the well-known Mr. Mag looked like!

  He was young, handsome, and had a nice body. He was simply… awesome!

  No wonder Principal Luna changed her mind. There was completely no issue with adding a profession for a master like him.

  The principal even brought him here for the examination, according to the rules, and did not even reveal his identity. This would not make the other teachers look bad.

  This thought made her embarrassed about her immature thoughts just now and she felt increasingly respectful toward Luna.

  The other four teachers still had no idea of Mag’s identity. However, they kept nodding when they watched Mag teaching difficult things in a simple way. They even took down some notes from time to time.

  Even Elton was not as stern as before. He could not help but feel glad when he looked at Mag and he nodded way more than he did for other teachers.

  After the oil was heated up, the spices went into the wok. Mag held the wok handle in one hand and a spatula in another, tossing the food very beautifully. The fragrance from the spices started wafting around.

  “Smells so good!” The judges’ eyes lit up. Mag only started stir-frying the side ingredients but it already smelled so good.

  A small commotion started rising from the other makeshift examination rooms divided simply with a board when the fragrance started wafting around.

  “Is it time to eat?”


  “I doubt it. We’ve only just had breakfast.”


  “Are we still continuing with the examination?”


  “Yes, yes… go on.”


  Mag smiled when he heard the noises from the surroundings. He ignored the sounds and poured the prepared eggplants into the wok.

  He had made a simple improvement to the eggplant with garlic sauce. He was actually using the recipe he wrote in Perfect Food last month.

  This was also why he dared to take part in the examination today. He was already getting ready for it a month ago.

  Not long later, Mag turned off the fire and a serving of bright red, fragrant and delicious-looking eggplant with garlic sauce was presented in front of everyone.

  “This is the finished product, the eggplant with garlic sauce. Isn’t it simple?” Mag displayed to the judges with a smile as he held the plate of food in one hand.

  “Mmm yes, yes!” Meli nodded. Right now, she only wanted the food in his hand.

  Elton gave a standing ovation. He told Mag with admiration, “Young man, your build is marvelous. You are a rare teaching talent. Join Hope School.”


  The other teachers nodded with a smile as they looked at Mag with admiration.

  They never thought that they could listen to a cooking class so seriously and be so absorbed in it that they took so many notes. It felt as though they had really understood how to make the eggplant with garlic sauce.

  “I concur. But before that, can I try the eggplant with garlic sauce first?” Meli said as she stared at the food in Mag’s hand.

  “I think it is okay to do so,” a female teacher at the side said with a smile.
