    <span style="font-weight:400">While that happened, Aidiun was in the teacher''s lounge. The instructors were having lunch.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Aidiun, you seemed chipper today," Shire noticed the sunny expression Aidiun had as he entered the ssroom.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Am I really?" Aidiun chuckled. I guess it''s because of this? He looked at the lunch box in his hand. He was excited about eating it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s with the smell?" Tennol sniffed. And he wasn''t the only one. Others did the same thing. There was a delicious aroma in the air.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And that smell came from one ce. It was the box in front of Aidiun. All of them looked over Aidiun''s shoulders.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Aidiun, when did you learn how to cook like this?" Tennol questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He wasn''t the one who did it," Cadmus and Sohma entered the lounge.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Where did you get it?" Shire questioned now.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The one who did it was the ss representative," Aidiun exined.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What? That kid know how to cook?" Tennol and the rest were surprised.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yep," Aidiun said nothing else as he took off the lid. When he did, the professor stared at him even more. So delicious!


    <span style="font-weight:400">There was an array of different types of food there. What was more, it was all colorful and vibrant. They stared at Aidiun''s food and then back to their food. It was the same thing they got as the student.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Their expressions said it all.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Delicious," Aidiun had a bright smile as he ate. The rolled omelet was fluffy and delicious. While he ate, he noticed the dead-pan expressions staring at him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Gulp!" Their eyes didn''t blink as they stared.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I should eat somewhere else. Having a lunchbox was a blessing and a curse.


    <span style="font-weight:400">…


    <span style="font-weight:400">While Keith didn''t know what was happening to Aidiun, he left the academy and headed to the city. He was going to Iron Hilde Workshop.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yo! Skar!" Keith greeted the dwarf at the counter.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What do you need, Kid?" Skar stated with a huff.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is that how you''re going to talk to me?" Keithughed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because it''s you," Skarmented. The two said nothing more as Keith headed to Dalen''s office. It had be the usual.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Dalen, it''s me! Can I enter?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Come in, Keith." Like that, Keith entered the room. When he did,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The rising new star hade to meet with me," Dalenughed as he stared at Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can you not call me that?" Keith scratched his head, embarrassed about the nickname.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How can I not? Do you know how many people are talking about you?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Tell me something I don''t know." Grandpa Cadmus is going to get it! Keith had no idea the entire fight was broadcast throughout the city!


    <span style="font-weight:400">He was too immersed in pummeling Todd to notice! That was why when he found out about it, he was shocked. Aidiun told him about it over dinner, and he couldn''t believe it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And that was why he was given a new title. The rising star. With his incredible abilities, Keith was said to be the star of the year.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What do you need from me?" Dalen smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I need wood. Wood that is preferably explosion-proof," Keith answered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Explosion-proof?" Dalen had a weird expression when he heard that,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why do you need explosion-proof wood?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because thest one burned down. I want the wood to be fire-resistant. But why stop there? It should be explosion-proof as well!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">There was no need to stop at fire-proofing!


    <span style="font-weight:400">This cart should be able to handle getting hit by everything!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Dalen gave him a strange look,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t have any wood that''s explosion-proof. But I think you can do it by making the frame fire-resistant."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Maybe," Keith thought about it. That could work as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you for all the materials," Keith smiled as he waved his hand. He continued to look around the stores. He was interested in what he could buy there. But as he nced around,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Keith noticed someone. It was the elf princess Alfia,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Alfia!" Keith waved his hands at her. It was a surprise to see someone here shopping around as well. Alfia turned her head to him. But,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you daree near the princess!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you want to die?!"
