The demonic boars haven’t even been butchered yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned slightly. \"Even if the restaurant’s magic can butcher and cook them quickly, it still takes time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked. \"Don’t worry about that. I already prepared something special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia narrowed her eyes. \"It’s not... vegetable dishes, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled, shaking his head. \"Of course not. I was just teasing you all earlier. Tonight’s all about meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added with a grin, \"I’ve cooked something really delicious. A special recovery meal for everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples behind them froze. Their smiles faded instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor leaned toward his twin. \"Did he just say... he’s cooking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar grimaced. \"Yeah. And we’ve never actually eaten Master’s cooking before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor frowned. \"So is it good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar shook his head in anger. \"How would I know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara crossed her arms, tilting her head. \"If it’s anything like his ’special drinks’, we’re doomed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza sighed quietly. \"Yeah. I drink those ’special drinks’ every day... and every time, I regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other nodded in agreement, faces grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia turned and glared at them. \"Stop complaining! Master’s cooking is really delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all blinked in shock. \"You’ve tried it, Senior Sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded. \"Of course. The drinks he makes are a nightmare, but his real cooking is actually amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin widened, clearly amused. \"You heard her. Now go on and eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group hesitated for a moment before slowly walking into the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they sat down, the restaurant’s magic activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plates began appearing one by one, floating smoothly from the kitchen to the tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rich, meaty, and faintly spicy smell filled the entire room. Everyone’s stomachs growled instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood at the front, looking pleased. \"Eat up, my disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spreads his arms wide, showcasing the foods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are special recovery meals. High in protein and mana density... with a bit of special, extra flavor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples stared at the food, both amazed and scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steaks were thick and sizzling, glowing faintly with red mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They smelled really good... but when their eyes moved to the bubbling crimson soup beside the steak...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza frowned. \"What the hell is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked, turning to her Master. \"Master, what the hell are these?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned proudly. \"Demonic Steak and Hell Broth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples froze. The room went silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar muttered, \"Why does every name he gives sound dangerous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor groaned. \"Anything that starts with ’demonic’ usually ends in pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara sighed. \"And ’Hell Broth’? That doesn’t sound like a delicious broth. It sounds more like a broth for torture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few disciples whispered among themselves nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister, are you really sure that Master can cook?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia hesitated, her confident look faltering a bit after seeing the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... did eat it once. It was good then... but seeing it now, I’m also suddenly a little scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them... including Arden quickly frowned, hearing what Dahlia had just said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister,\" Rynor said quietly, \"you’re the most senior one here... so, uh, can you go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned deeply, muttering. \"All of you are really cowards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then looked down at her plate, sighing and whispering under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don’t kill me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cut into the steak and took a bite. The moment it touched her tongue, her eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hot! Spicy!\" she shouted, waving her hand near her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples winced, and Rynar snapped his finger. \"I fucking knew it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could do anything, Dahlia kept eating and did not stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bite after bite, she continued, making her face quickly red and her eyes watered, but she didn’t stop at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor blinked. \"How the hell is she still eating that demonic food?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara leaned forward, panicking. \"Is she okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza frowned, shaking her head. \"I don’t know, but she looks like she’s suffering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Dahlia slammed her fist lightly on the table, yelling loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s so hot! So spicy! But how the hell can it be so fucking good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples’ jaws dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked, folding his arms proudly. \"Of course it’s good. I cooked it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia pointed her fork at him, coughing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you’re insane, Master! How dare you make this food so fucking spicy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were red, her face flushed, but she still took another piece and shoved it into her mouth, groaning in half pain and half delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this... this is just incredible! I can’t stop eating it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others exchanged glances, unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor gulped and picked up his fork. \"Well... if Senior Sister’s still alive...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar sighed, picking his for up too. \"Fine. If we die, we die together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both took a bite and a second later... both of them screamed. \"SPICY!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, like Dahlia, they didn’t stop and kept eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara and Eliza followed reluctantly, and within seconds, the entire restaurant was filled with coughing and groaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet everyone kept eating like it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled softly, shaking his head. \"That’s the spirit. Even your tongues are training now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia squinted at him suspiciously as he picked up her bowl of Hell Broth. \"Let’s see if this one tastes any better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a careful sip, and in an instant, her eyes widened. \"What the?! How can this taste spicier than the steak?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples were shocked, hearing that, and even Rynor tried to stop Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister... don’t! You’ll melt your insides by drinking that magma soup!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia ignored him and lifted the bowl high. She cannot even stop her own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screw it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drank the whole thing in one go and the moment she finished, her face turned bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slammed the bowl down hard, breathing heavily and then gasped, feeling so confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hot! So fucking hot! But... how can it be so damn delicious?! It’s even better than the steak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked proudly. \"Of course. Just like I said. My food is the best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia pointed at him once again. \"I tell you again... You’re a crazy one, but... this is the best food I’ve ever eaten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed hard, smirking. \"Don’t think this dinner is all there is. There’s another surprise waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","4f2b9bed24d052b5f36d4ea685f995c58bd691b05eef7e83785a2dd46ab17b8b","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-105","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-103",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
