A single level out of this really made me felt slightly disappointed, but I didn't really had the time for that. I quickly regrouped with everybody else and had a chat with the other party leaders, Clarice and Alianna.
"It's finally over… But it was harder than we thought." Clarice sighed. "Can't we take a small break?"
"It was really hard…" Alianna sighed. "But I think we all leveled up plenty."
"Hmph." I sighed, facepalming. "Are you serious? You want a break after killing some weakened chickens? Agh, fine, but only thirty minutes! No more."
"Do you have to be so annoying!?" Clarice angrily said, taking out her axe and pointing it at me. Her party members stopped her by dragging her away. "S-Stop! I'm gonna teach him a lesson! Uuugh!"
"Hahahah… S-Sorry for our weakness. We promise we'll get better." Said Alianna, trying to be nice at least.
"I hope so. Alianna, you're a three star talent, you should have way more potential than this." I sighed, slightly disappointed.
If she could had been at my side instead of being raised with a noble, I could had made her into an incredible fighter. She has wasted her potential for all her childhood. Well, most of the students here had.
"I saw you struggle fighting a single bird by yourself."
"I… you're right… I am not fit to be my lord's guard." The blue haired girl sighed. "But I promise I will get better!"
"Hmph, at least you don't lack the attitude. Alright, I'll cook something for all of you to get better quickly." I sighed, taking out several ingredients and utensils to cook. A giant cauldron, large spoons, and spices.
"Eh? You're going to cook for us?!" Alianna felt shocked. "I-I never thought you would do such a thing…"
"Cooking? You?! Hah! I bet you barely know how to make some stew…" Sighed Clarice.
"And does the young lady knows how to cook anything than a fried egg?" I wondered.
"Oof, man, you don't have to be so harsh." Erdrich laughed. "Alright, let me help too. These guys need something with tons of vitality boosting ingredients."
"You're right, let's use that." I said with a smile, as I quickly took out several Stamina Boosting Potions from my inventory and began adding them into the mix of ingredients.
"It's ready!" Eric said, bringing a plucked and bloodied Windstorm bird.
"I am also done!" Eleanora brought two.
"Me too!" Saphira brought one, half-made. We decided to roast that one.
"Ah, can we add the dwarven spice to the stew?" Alberta took out a red-colored spice.
This spice was like chili, and it had vitality boosting effects alongside magic enhancement. So it was perfect. I added a small amount though, too much makes the food too spicy. I don't mind it, but others would and complain.
The food was slowly getting ready. I made Windstorm Bird Stew with potatoes, onions, and carrots. I added some wild boar stock for more flavor too, and some wild boar sausages as well.
And we also roasted four more Windstorm Birds. The Thunderstorm ones were too valuable so I was going to keep them for myself, a reason why I slain them personally, so nobody would ask for them.
After ten minutes, everything was done. Thanks to the ability to change the temperature of fire and water using magic, it is possible to boil and prepare foods incredibly quickly. And using the Cooking Skill, the food ended emanating powerful and delicious auras.
Once everyone was sitting around the table to eat, everyone aside from my close friends were left in utter disbelief as my spirits served them food.
"H-He really made food…" Clarice muttered. "And it looks so yummy…"
"A-Amazing, Blake's talents never stop…" Alianna sighed. "Ah, it is such a pity he already has a girlfriend~"
"A-Alianna! I thought you liked Lord Eduard?!" Mimy asked in shock.
"Huh?! A-Ah! D-Did I said something weird?!" Alianna suddenly blushed.
"Very! Hehehe!"
"Something weird slipped out of your lips, hehehe…"
The twins Aquarius and Aquaria laughed merrily.
"Now eat quickly and let's get going, we can't waste any more time." I said, quickly forcing everyone to eat as fast as possible.
Everyone gave their first bite, surprised by the flavor of everything.
"W-What with this flavor?!"
"S-So good!"
"I love the stew's spiciness! And the pork flavor added to it…"
"Roasted Windstorm Bird is so good!"
"These sausages are so flavorful~"
Every single damn classmate was making these stupid faces. I was honestly tired of it! My cooking is not that good, why is everyone always overexaggerating?
…
After the thirty minutes passed, we were finally ready to depart. Everyone's stamina came back right away and they seemed energetic. Even their HP and MP was restored, and while I was at it, their Ki Channels and Ki Core awakened.
This was why I added the Stamina Potions, which have this secondary effect. Now they probably can have better stamina and vitality, Ki helps a lot at improving the body, and complements the raw stat boosts of leveling.
"W-What with this fuzzy feeling?! What did you put into the food? An elixir?!" Asked Clarice while blushing in surprise.
"T-The food was incredible! I feel so strong now!" Clark exclaimed.
"True, I've never felt this stronger. Amazingly done, Blake!" Alianna said, as she suddenly hugged me. "You're just… so amazing!"
"Get off me…" I gave her a deadly glare.
"GEH…!"
She quickly jumped away before I were to get serious.
"So shameless Alianna~" Mimy said.
"Very!" Aquaria said.
"I can't believe what I saw…" Aquarius sighed.
"P-Please don't tell Lord Eduard!" Cried Alianna in embarrassment. "I-I just liked his cooking, that's all!"
