CLINK!


    The sound of the doorknob twisting echoed through the alleyway filled with students leaving and entering their dorm rooms.


    Having twisted the knob, Nn pushed open the door, finding it unmoving, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.


    He rewound the knob in a certain special rhythm, and then it finally opened up as he stepped into the room, the door shutting close.


    What greeted his gaze was the familiar living room and he walked forth, scanning around the room.


    The doorknob was just as he had specially left it, meaning most likely no one even touched his door knob throughout his duration.


    So it was safe to say that the sanctity of his room was still kept.


    And so, he ced down the bag onto the side before immediately heading into the kitchen.


    Thest time Nn had eaten was exactly five days ago, and the only thing he had used to survive the mission were juice boxes.


    Now, he needed something good.


    Entering into the kitchen, his mouth almost watered when he saw the filled wardrobe, and without a single more second, he quickly got to work, quickly cooking up something delicious for himself.


    Forty-five minutes passed from cooking before finally, Nn finished his cooking


    "You really would end up destroying your stomach one day..." the system said to him, referencing the fact that Nn cooked so much.


    But suddenly,


    KNOCK


    KNOCK


    KNOCK


    The sound of someone knocking on the door could suddenly be heard as Nn''s eyes narrowed, and he immediately walked towards the door.


    He had barely arrived back to his dorm room in less than an hour, and there was already someone knocking at his door?


    What did he do this time?


    CLINK! Nn''s hand moved towards the knob and opened it up, only to find a familiar face looking at him.


    His eyes shed in surprise as he sighted the figure and bowed a little.


    "Instructor Tiamat!"


    Yes! The impromptu visitor was Instructor Tiamat, and ording to Nn''s memories, that had never happened before.


    "Nn, I heard that you''re back from the mission," Instructor Tiamat said as Nn opened his door wide, allowing her in.


    "I came back just now. It''s been barely an hour..." Nn said as Instructor Tiamat''s nose perked up, sensing the faint smell in the air.


    Nn excused himself, running into the kitchen.


    "Wow, he can cook? Who taught him how?"


    Instructor Tiamat wondered in shock to herself as she settled on the sofa but was more than surprised when Nn walked back into the room bringing with him arge tray of different dishes and a juice box.


    "Is this all yours, or?" Instructor Tiamat asked, not able to believe thisrge amount of food was for only one person.


    "It''s not for me only. It''s for you too," Nn said as he set the tray on the table and sat down on the opposite sofa next to Instructor Tiamat, quickly settling the dishes on the table.


    "Even if you aren''t hungry, and I doubt someone at your power level will even feel hunger, at least eat it to see just how good the cooking skills of the ''trashiest'' in the academy are," Nn said with a grin as Instructor Tiamat found her interest piqued.


    Of course, she wouldn''t normally eat impromptu food unless she was invited to a dinner party or something.


    But then, Nn''s words had piqued her interest.


    She had no idea that he could cook, and now he mentioned his cooking skills with such confidence.


    It prompted her to grab the chopsticks, and she tasted one of the foods.


    Her eyes widened in surprise, and Nn''s face beamed with pride.


    "Pretty good, isn''t it?" he asked her as Instructor Tiamat reluctantly nodded.


    "Yeah, it''s not bad," she said to him with a grin as Nn sat down and immediately dived into the food, gulping down arge amount of his share within seconds, while Instructor Tiamat was more calmpared to him.


    "It seems to me somebody didn''t eat throughout the entire duration of his mission..." Instructor Tiamat said as Nn''s speed slowed down a little.


    "Yeah, I took juice boxes though. A lot of juice boxes," he said to her.


    "No wonder."


    "The juice box also increases one''s hunger factor after a long time of only using them," she exined to him, and Nn''s eyes shed at the information.


    Even he had no idea.


    "So tell me, how was the mission given to you by Sir Astaroth?" she asked him with clear interest, and Nn shrugged before replying.


    "It was tough, but I had the best of the best Neers with me, so it was all fine in the end," Nn imed as Instructor Tiamat''s eyes shed with golden light.


    "The best of the best Neers. Are you implying the Godly Ten?" she asked him, and Nn nodded.


    "You were allowed to go on a mission with the Godly Ten?" Instructor Tiamat said with quite the surprise in her voice, and Nn decided to exin to her.


    "The mission required eleven people to perfectlyplete, so I was rmended to join by a member of the Godly Ten whom I met in the training room just a couple of days before the event."


    "It seems my memory stuck in his head, and I ended up being rmended by him."


    "That was how I joined them on the mission," Nn exined, and Instructor Tiamat nodded.


    Now she understood.


    "So how did it feel, being on a mission with the Godly Ten?"


    "How do you even view the ones who hold the respect of all, close to thousands of neers?"


    "What do you think about them?" Instructor Tiamat asked him with interest.


    "How do I feel? Hmm... I felt very surprised when I got into the room and found all ten."


    "I was shocked beyond belief, that was for sure..." Nn answered to Instructor Tiamat, whose amused gaze remained pressed on him.


    "But then, I don''t know. It''s just not so surprising to me that much anymore."


    "At least right now, it''s nothing but apleted mission to me..."
