Big Capitalist

Many students had already arrived at the cafeteria, sitting on carved chairs, eating elegantly and quietly, keeping their conversations in low voices, and taking care of the interests of the nobles.

The cafeteria of the Arcane Academy is not free. Each window corresponds to different food.

The cafeteria has three floors. The first floor is open to everyone in the Arcane Academy. The second floor is the senior cafeteria, which is only available to people with special rights in the Arcane Academy. The third floor is the teachers' cafeteria. Of course, if students have an invitation letter from a teacher, they can also go to the teachers' cafeteria to taste the delicious food.

Merlin walked to the first floor of the cafeteria. He was still looking forward to what the food from the other world would taste like. After all, there were monsters in this world, and in the Western fantasy novels he had read on Blue Star, monster meat was always delicious.

The three of them entered the cafeteria, and Merlin came to the place where they got their meals. Although the cafeteria was large, there were not many windows for getting meals.

The main meal provided on the first floor of the Arcane Academy today is bread, stew, vegetable salad and grilled meat, in addition to some fruits.

Merlin frowned slightly as he looked at the messy food counter, the dark brown bread, the spilled soup and the salad scattered all over the floor.

Merlin turned around with his plate in hand and looked at the students who were eating very elegantly. It was hard to imagine that the messy environment at the dining table was caused by these aristocratic students.

Is this really the food from the cafeteria of the Arcane Academy? The burnt black bread had an uneven surface with fine cracks, and a strong original sour smell that was particularly obvious. Merlin picked up one and put it on the plate. It was so hard that it could be called a baguette.

As for the sticky brown broth, Merlin smelled a pungent, spicy flavor. The salad on the plate had no sauce and was just dry vegetables. As for the unknown meat, it had been roasted black and looked unappetizing.

"Is this what we eat in the cafeteria of the Arcane Academy?" Merlin couldn't believe it. Wouldn't this give him diarrhea and sore throat?

"Merlin, you seem strange today. Isn't this what we eat every day? Do you want to go upstairs?" Fate scooped a spoonful of broth and said in surprise.

Chris also felt that Merlin was a little strange today. "Isn't this just normal food?"

"No? Is this normal food?" Merlin recalled the memories of his original body and found that the cooking level in this world was pitifully low. The staple food was generally black bread. As for the soft browned bread, most chefs would not bake it. The nobles mostly ate grilled meat as their staple food.

The three of them randomly found an empty seat. Merlin picked up the hard black bread and took a bite. It almost broke his teeth, it was so hard.

Chris and Fate were both shocked. Fate quickly broke the black bread into pieces and put it into the soup with minced meat and beans. "Merlin, you are really problematic. You actually ate black bread dry. You are soaking in the soup."

Soup is an indispensable dish on the dining table of Azer Continent, and its main function is to soften the brown bread.

Xia Ming looked at the bean and meat soup that looked like some kind of animal excrement, then looked at the barbecued meat with a charred, fishy and bloody skin, and his mouth twitched slightly.

Merlin took a bite of the meat because he was hungry. A sour and refreshing taste rushed into his head. He took another bite of the burnt meat with blood...

vomit--

This was the smell of unprocessed beef. Merlin suddenly realized that the people in this world did not seem to have mastered the castration technique. Whether it was pigs, cows, or sheep, they all smelled old, woody, and fishy.

Even only the nobles used knives and forks, while ordinary people ate with their hands like the third brother.

Oh my god, I have never eaten anything good.

"Today's meat and bean soup is surprisingly delicious. Oh, and I have some cheese I brought from home. Would you like to try it?"

Cheese? That's possible. Merlin was just about to try it when he saw Fate take out a piece of cheese that smelled slightly rancid from his bag.

OK! Merlin looked at the cheese and quickly waved his hands, "Forget it, forget it, you guys eat it, you guys eat it!"

"No, it's delicious. You'll never forget the taste. It's like the taste of body water..."

Fate directly cut a piece of the cheese in his hand and put it on Merlin's bread. The child's family had just suffered a huge change and he definitely needed full care. Merlin's abnormality that day made his good friend a little worried.

vomit--

On the grass outside the cafeteria, Merlin was leaning against the wall and vomiting. Chris and Fate, who were standing by, were a little confused when they saw him like this.

Is Merlin in trouble? Chris patted Merlin on the back and said softly, "Merlin, are you feeling unwell? You vomited. Do you want to drink a bottle of healing potion?"

"No, no, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'll be fine after a rest." Merlin waved his hand. The healing potion is an entry-level product of alchemy and pharmacy. It is cheap because the light element in it can cure some common diseases, knife wounds, etc.

"Ah? Well, since you don't have classes this afternoon, you should go back and have a good rest. And hold on a little longer. You'll have a day off after the alchemy class tomorrow." Chris said while supporting Merlin.

The Arcane Academy is like a university on Blue Star, with a high degree of freedom. You can work for five days and rest for two days. In addition to the main subjects, you can also sign up for other subjects. As long as you can learn them, you still have to pay the tuition.

In addition to alchemy, Chris also took elective courses such as magic sword and war theory. As for Fate, in addition to alchemy, she also took royal knowledge and etiquette courses that were specifically open to members of the royal family.

Only Merlin studied alchemy. Alchemy was all-encompassing. After passing the alchemy apprentice assessment at the end of the first semester, he could choose his main area of study.

For example, magic dynamics, magic scroll studies, alchemy, advanced perfumery, runes, etc.

Chris and Fate sent Merlin back to the dormitory and went to class. Merlin tossed and turned in bed, not thinking about what to do next, but because he was a little hungry.

Damn it, the spicy food made his stomach restless. As for eating the hard and sour black bread and rotten meat and bean soup, he might as well starve!

Merlin planned to go out and look for his parents the day after tomorrow when he had a holiday. The Leo family had gone bankrupt and all their territories had been sold to pay off their debts.

In the letter to Merlin, his parents have arrived at the Arcane City where the Arcane Academy is located. There is also a tavern owned by the Leo family here. His parents now live here and plan to make money here to pay back the debt.
