The few judges had an early lunch and gave Mag very high marks.

  Meli took a piece of eggplant and finished the last mouthful of rice in her bowl. She put her bowl down but still wanted more.

  The serving of the eggplant with garlic sauce was too small and it was too good. The five of them shared one serving and the dish was gone in no time.

  However, this was still the best dish she had after returning to Chaos City.

  There were notes of sweet, sour, savory, and spiciness all in one small piece of eggplant. It was an intoxicating taste that lingered in her mouth for a very long time.

  Of course, the most miraculous experience was that the eggplant with garlic sauce was made in front of them and presented in the form of a cooking tutorial, yet it still tasted remarkably delicious.

  Elton stood up and looked at Mag, saying joyfully, “Mr. Mag, we will be colleagues from now on.”


  Mag was the one and only career tutor he was satisfied with, without a doubt.

  He was exceptionally capable and was able to go in-depth, yet still explain it very simply. His teaching pace was very comfortable and that even made Elton suspect if Mag had been a teacher before.

  “Thank you.” Mag nodded with a smile.

  He was also very satisfied with his performance during the test.

  After all, he had taught Firis, Anna, and Mala how to cook and had quite the experience in this aspect. His impromptu performance had a very good result too.

  After the test, Mag did not stay further. He put away his kitchenware and stove, bade the judges goodbye, and left with his coat.

  Mag went to the washroom and when he walked out, he bumped into Meli.

  “Hi, Mr. Mag, I am Meli. Your cooking is really good.” Meli went up as she greeted Mag with a smile.

  “Teacher Meli, you are too kind.” Mag shook his head humbly. He glanced at this teacher with brown short hair, beautiful eyes, and light makeup. her hazel eyes were bright and lively.

  “Your restaurant is Mamy Restaurant, right?” Meli continued.

  “You know it?” Mag was slightly surprised. He had an exceptional memory and could be certain that this teacher had not been to his restaurant before.

  “I saw your column in the magazine but didn’t recall it at that moment. However, your eggplant with garlic sauce left quite an impression and it reminded me,” Meli said with a smile.

  “Do come over to the restaurant if you’re free. Goodbye, Teacher Meli.” Mag walked away with a smile after washing his hands.

  Luna was waiting for him outside and the two walked away as they conversed.

  Meli watched the two of them leave thoughtfully.

  “The principal and Mr. Mag look rather compatible. They are both so outstanding,” Hera muttered under her breath.

  “Are they very close?” Meli asked curiously.

  Hera looked at Meli and said, “When I went to the canteen to take the ingredients, I ran into a middle-aged man who said that Mr. Mag is Hope School’s very important investor. Without him, there might not be Hope School.”


  ***

  “I’ve talked to a few of the judges just now and all of them think that you are able to take on the role as a chef tutor,” Luna said with a smile as she walked beside Mag.

  “Am I being accepted in advance?” Mag asked with a smile.

  “It is the honor of Hope School to have a chef as outstanding as you to teach here,” Luna said seriously.

  She was watching Mag during the test and was shocked at his ability to hold the fort so well. She was even touched to see him present the recipe for the eggplant with garlic sauce so selflessly.

  She knew about the ‘Mamy Fever’ going on in the culinary world of Chaos City recently. Various restaurants had been launching Mamy Restaurant’s food and although the taste differed a lot, it was still apparent how they were just riding on the hype and popularity.

  If the kids could master a few dishes from Mag, they would be able to get a rather good job easily in any restaurant.

  “You didn’t have the intention to set up a chef’s career course, right?” Mag paused and turned to look at her when he asked.

  “Yes.” Luna did not try to hide it at all. “I’ll contact the construction team today to get a chef’s training ground built as soon as possible.”


  Mag smiled with a shake of his head and said, “I am the one who suggested it, so leave the training ground’s design and construction to me. I saw that there was still a plot of empty land beside the canteen. Can I use it?”


  “Errr…” Luna hesitated.

  “Actually, what I am envisioning is to set up a culinary college. Its scale might be a little small at the starting phase but the goal is to set up the best chef training ground in the Norland Continent and for it to become a chef’s holy land.” Mag smiled. “Therefore, I want the training ground to be a bit more formal. And I’m afraid no one else can do this.”


  Luna looked at Mag and smiled. She nodded and said, “Alright. I’ll hand over the plot of land beside the canteen to you.”


  “Thank you.” Mag nodded. He went around the school with Luna and then left.

  As he turned back to look at the cluster of new school buildings at the school gate, Mag smiled proudly.

  Who would have thought that he could become a teacher?

  Even if it was just a part-time job. Mag still found it miraculous.

  Mag went over to the textile factory which was nearby. He found Ashley and booked a group of outstanding carpenters among the Night Elves.

  There were six more days to the opening of Hope School. He wished to build the chef’s training ground before that, so that it would not affect the school’s opening.

  ***

  “You want to be a teacher at Hope School?” Irina asked Mag in shock during lunch.

  The ladies all paused their work at hand and looked at Mag.

  “Father, are you going to be a teacher?” Amy hopped off a chair joyfully. To her, a teacher is someone very impressive, like Teacher Luna.

  “Boss, what would you be teaching?” Miya asked curiously.

  “How to make all the young ladies in the city fall in love with him?” Angela guessed as she propped her chin on her hand.

  “This is a very close answer.” Mag called Angela out and said, “Go to New East Culinary School!”


  “Are you going to teach the children how to cook?” Firis caught on very quickly.

  “Yes. Hope School is setting up a career training course and I ran into Teacher Luna while touring the school today, so I went to apply to be a part-time teacher. I have already passed the test,” Mag said with a smile.

  “Teacher Mag,” Anna called out.

  “Mm. Good girl, little Anna.” Mag nodded with a smile. The little one was one of his students.

  “Won’t it hinder the children in their learning?” Irina asked.

  “Learning is actually a process. It is not just applied to magic or martial arts. For children coming from poor families, it is more realistic to have a skill that could help them to stand independently in society and break free from the poverty cycle from their parent’s generation,” Mag said with a shake of his head.
