Chapter 144: There Must Be Something Suspicious Here

"Professor Kenneth, it's not quite like that! There was just a minor incident earlier."

After realizing what had happened, Weber's face flushed with panic, and he quickly apologized.

"No need for such formality! Your family lineage makes your lack of etiquette perfectly understandable!"

Kenneth sneered coldly, looking down on Weber with an air of superiority, "True nobility is determined by long-standing history."

"I had planned to discuss this matter with you after class, but now..."

Kenneth picked up a stack of documents from the desk, "I'll do it ahead of schedule!"

Weber stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the stack of papers—he recognized them as the paper he had spent immense effort writing earlier.

Without hesitation, Kenneth tore the entire stack into pieces.

Kenneth stared at Weber with cold indifference.

"Give up your ambitions! Whether or not you can become exceptional was already decided from the start."

"It's all about the quality of your bloodline."

"Clearly, Weber Velvet! You are not qualified to be an exceptional one."

Overwhelmed by this series of blows, Weber felt dazed and disoriented, barely aware of when class had ended.

He left his classroom and went to the Clock Tower Library, sitting there in a daze for a long time before suddenly remembering something.

"Wait a minute... that thing just now—was it the so-called magical meta-organization?"

Once reminded of this, Weber’s thoughts finally snapped back into focus. He took two deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down, no longer dwelling on the previous issue.

So what if the paper was torn up? Compared to the miracle resembling a great magic that he had come into contact with, it was utterly insignificant.

Weber believed that not only himself, but even his proud teacher Kenneth, upon encountering the guild he had touched, would be so excited and thrilled as to nearly go into shock; even if it meant abandoning all current power and status, Kenneth would undoubtedly do so without hesitation.

This is the allure of magic for an ordinary magician.

Become my son: "Where did that little scion of the Verweil family suddenly vanish and go underwater? Was he struck down by the old Marquis’s words?"

I am the Marquis: "What nonsense! If that boy could be so easily shaken by such things, then he’d be far too useless."

I am the Marquis: "Moreover! What I said carries no flaw at all! The guild must be infinitely stronger than that so-called magic—I firmly believe this."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "That said, I’m rather curious."

Su Xiao.

Demon King, are you truly so familiar with... that person just now—the heir of the Verweil family?"

Su Xiao: "If that fellow really is Weber, I can indeed claim to know a little about him... ..."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "So that fellow’s name is Weber?"

Yuki Tachibana: "Is that world even a single world? I heard that guy—called Weber—mentioning the Age of Gods, and also things like magic and magics."

Tony Not Richest: "Other magics? Are they just street tricks? Uncle Tony is about to laugh himself silly."

Magical Girl Illya: "......Hello everyone!"

Shizuko: "Wow, a new elementary schooler has popped up! Illya, has school already ended?"

Magical Girl Illya: "Yes! School’s over."

I’m currently at home chatting with everyone."

Yuki Tachibana: "So why are even elementary schoolers popping up? And that Verweil family heir is still underwater!"

Su Xiao: "Maybe he’s caught up in something important."

Verweil Family Heir: "......That is... I was being scolded by my mentor earlier, so my mood wasn’t good, and I didn’t immediately pop up in the guild."

My deepest apologies."

Let the world feel pain: "Being scolded by a mentor again? Another student?"

Symbol of Peace: "Since it’s a mentor, clearly not a child! Must be a university student. Wait—is Clock Tower actually a university?"

Su Xiao: "......"

Su Xiao: "I can’t really explain it clearly myself."

Su Xiao: "As usual, let's just jump straight into the memory dungeon."

Su Han thought for a moment, then directly uploaded two memory copies.

Illya and Weber, who hadn’t yet participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, had nothing to gain from it.

"Ding! Guild Leader Su Xiao has uploaded a large-scale memory copy《》."

"Ding! Guild Leader Su Xiao has uploaded a large-scale memory copy《Magical Girl Illya》."

Tony Not Richest: "Frightening! Another new series to follow."

Tony Not Richest: "Speaking of which! The leader is truly too cruel—last time she posted 'Shokugeki no Sōma,' watching people eat like that, plus past experiences, made my mouth water uncontrollably."

Tony Not Richest: "Now I’m eating food prepared by my own chef—and it tastes like chewing wax."

What a sin! My chef is a five-star gourmet from New York!"

Yuki Tachibana: "A five-star chef from Mr. Stark’s world—does that mean they’re worse than my cooking? I don’t know whether to feel honored or terrified..."

Hearing this, even though her inner self urged humility, Yuki Tachibana couldn’t help but feel slightly giddy.

After all, a five-star chef, in the world of Shokugeki no Sōma, was someone far beyond Yuki Tachibana’s current reach.

At least, with her current strength, she couldn’t even touch such a figure.

Of course, if Yuki Tachibana used her identity as the God’s Tongue, or as the heir of the Tachibana family, it would be an entirely different matter.

She could then easily access someone like a five-star master chef.

Tony Not Richest: "In terms of food refinement alone, perhaps my five-star chef surpasses Miss Tachibana by far! But it’s only refined—lacking warmth, lacking that... sense of happiness."

Tony Not Richest: "That kind of... magical effect, like a drug, really adds to the experience."

Shizuko: "Come to think of it, Mr. Stark isn’t even trying to taste delicious food—he just wants to eat aphrodisiacs!"

I Am the Marquis: "I’ll trade one chance to use my power for the image of Mr. Stark eating real aphrodisiacs."

I Am the Marquis: "Note—this isn’t about eating pictures of meals from Shokugeki no Sōma, but actual aphrodisiacs!"

Tony Not Richest: "Go suck your own ass, dog Marquis!"

The guild was filled with joy.

Yet many people had already started following the new series.

For example, Akemi Homura downloaded Magical Girl Illya right away.

Then began diving deep into watching it.

Illya felt a bit shy—this memory copy’s title was exactly the same as her online nickname—but out of curiosity, she downloaded it immediately.

Weber, though still somewhat dazed, also opened it instantly.

The moment he entered the memory copy, he frowned, sensing that things weren’t as simple as he imagined.
