After tormenting Sho Marufuji all morning, Judai felt refreshed.
During the process of bullying the weak, not only did he become familiar with the adjusted Rune Deck, allowing it to operate more smoothly,
but he also earned a good number of points. Judai's system points had now reached 490.
"Ah, it's noon, and I'm hungry!"
Seeing the sun directly overhead, Judai rubbed his stomach, feeling it deflate.
Playing Duels was also very physically demanding, especially Duels with holograms, which required timely energy replenishment to continue.
"Hayato, do you know where the cafeteria is? Let's go eat together!"
Judai said with a smile to the tall, plump, koala-faced repeat student.
"The cafeteria, it's over there!" Hayato Maeda's small black eyes were now filled with reverence when he looked at Judai.
This guy's Dueling style was too ruthless and insidious; even as a god-level repeat student, he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Then I'll trouble you to take me there!"
Judai smiled and nodded. Guided by Hayato, the two quickly left.
Only Sho Marufuji was left, his face filled with despair, still muttering to himself.
"Judai Yuki is truly terrifying! I'll never dare to approach him again!"
Osiris Red cafeteria.
A tall but slender man, wearing glasses and a white chef's hat, was currently stirring vigorously in an iron bucket with a large ladle, a smile on his face.
"Daidetera-sensei, has lunch started?"
Hayato Maeda's voice came from outside.
"Hehe, it has started!"
The man took off his chef's hat, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and revealed a harmless smile.
"Hayato, it's rare for you to come to the cafeteria early. Do you like my cooking?"
"No, this is the one who wants to eat!" Hayato Maeda's face darkened, as if he recalled something unpleasant.
He spread his hand, gesturing towards Judai.
"Oh, a new student?" Daidetera-sensei couldn't help but look at Judai, his eyes smiling, appearing very kind.
Squinting eyes are all monsters!
Judai, of course, knew that Daidetera-sensei was not simple.
He could be said to be the world's number one alchemist, having created the ultimate work, [Philosopher's Stone - Sabatiel].
This card could transform into any other card three times before shattering and disappearing. Such card printing was simply exaggerated.
And Daidetera-sensei was also the one with the highest Dueling skill among the later Seven Stars.
He played a continuous role in Judai's growth throughout GX.
Even until Judai's lonely journey in the GX finale, he transformed into a light particle to accompany him.
"Hello, Daidetera-sensei, I am Judai Yuki!"
Judai smiled and waved, greeting Daidetera-sensei.
"Hello, Judai!" Daidetera-sensei smiled and nodded, then reacted, "You are Judai Yuki! The Judai who caused Professor Chronos to suffer a crushing defeat?"
His squinted eyes suddenly opened, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes behind the square, plain glasses.
"That's right, it's me!" Judai smiled confidently, then shook his head, "Crushing defeat is an overstatement. I just happened to get lucky and defeated Professor Chronos!"
"Lucky? Someone who can defeat Chronos isn't just 'lucky' to do so!"
The smile on Daidetera-sensei's face disappeared, and his plain glasses reflected a cold light. He spoke meaningfully, appearing somewhat profound and unfathomable.
"Daidetera-sensei!" Hayato Maeda's face was utterly astonished at the sight.
This was the first time he had seen Daidetera-sensei like this.
"Indeed, Daidetera-sensei truly lives up to his reputation as the number one alchemist. Does he perhaps see my powerful spiritual energy from three lifetimes?"
Judai's eyes also narrowed, lost in thought.
"Sizzle"
At this moment, a puff of white smoke rose, accompanied by a burnt smell.
"Ah! The dried fish is burnt, meow!"
Daidetera-sensei immediately looked flustered and quickly ran to turn off the stove.
The atmosphere of a master just now instantly vanished.
"Ouch!"
Hayato Maeda immediately fell to the ground.
With his heavy weight, this fall was indeed quite hard.
"Uh, as expected of Daidetera-sensei!"
Seeing his silly appearance, Judai's eye twitched.
This was Daidetera-sensei, a guy who seemed unreliable but was actually very strong.
Moreover, the current Daidetera-sensei outwardly obeyed Principal Samejima, but in reality, due to a favor owed, he had to serve Kagemaru, so he was also a double-crosser.
"Ahem, thankfully only a part of it got burnt. I'll eat that part myself later!"
At this moment, Daidetera-sensei returned, a smile back on his face, "Judai, Hayato, you two came early today, and no one else is here yet, so you can try my cooking!"
"Okay, I'm hungry!" Judai immediately sat down, his face full of anticipation.
All the facilities at Osiris Red were very basic; even the cafeteria had no dedicated chef.
The cafeteria's chef was actually Daidetera-sensei, a Red Dorm professor, directly serving in both roles!
And the cafeteria's ingredients were also very limited, so much so that Daidetera-sensei often had to go fishing.
The burnt part of the fried fish just now was caught by Daidetera-sensei himself.
"Uh, alright!" Hayato Maeda was a bit reluctant, but he was also hungry, so he nodded and sat down.
Soon, the food was brought to the table.
It was very simple: white rice, seaweed soup, flavored fried fish, and pickled dried fish.
"It smells delicious!" Judai sniffed, his appetite somewhat piqued.
"I'm eating! Mmm!"
After the first bite, Judai's eyes lit up.
The taste of this dried fish was truly delicious and very satisfying with rice.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter"
Forcefully shoveling rice with his chopsticks, Judai quickly finished two bowls of rice and drank two bowls of seaweed soup.
"Thank you, I'm full!"
Judai rubbed his stomach, feeling quite good.
It made sense that his anime counterpart could eat such simple food with such relish.
Daidetera-sensei's cooking skills were actually very good, producing delicious meals even with the most basic ingredients.
"Mm, I'm full too!" Hayato Maeda also rubbed his stomach, but his face held a hint of resentment.
After all, no matter how delicious something was, anyone who ate it every day for several years would feel like throwing up.
"Hehe, I'm very happy that Judai likes my cooking so much!" Daidetera-sensei smiled and nodded.
"Tomorrow is the day classes start. Don't forget to go to class, okay? Tomorrow there's Professor Chronos's class, and my class too!"
"Mm-hmm, I know, I'll go!" Judai smiled and waved, "Then I'll be going now, Daidetera-sensei!
Oh, and one more thing! I'll be living alone, and my residence is that warehouse by the lake!…"
"Judai, living alone!" Daidetera-sensei looked surprised, thinking that geniuses were indeed solitary. "You can, meow. Here's the key to the warehouse. Remember to lock the door at night! Otherwise…"
The next moment, Daidetera-sensei's expression suddenly became eerie, and his plain glasses reflected a cold light, "There might be vengeful spirits, meow!"
"Ah!" Hayato Maeda immediately shrieked in fright.
"Haha! Just scaring you, meow!" The next moment, Daidetera-sensei smiled again.
"Sensei! You'll scare people to death like that!" Hayato Maeda couldn't help but complain.
