The taste of any dishes you make will improve. The dishes you make will look delicious.]
“What is this?!!!” Hyeonu screamed upon confirming the skill’s information. It was a skill that was useless to anyone as it had little connection with combat. There were no special options such as a stats boost like in other virtual reality games. It was just all about food that tasted better and looked good.
“How is this a reward?!!!”
While Hyeonu was screaming, Tang-E approached him and asked, “Master dude, what is it? What is going on?"
Hyeonu hugged Tang-E and explained what happened. The newly acquired skill had no effect except for making food taste better.
“Isn’t it good, Master dude? Now I can eat more delicious meat.”
For Tang-E, there was no better news.
It felt like he had picked up a whole roasted pig while walking down the road. Originally, the meat Hyeonu cooked already had the same taste as that of the food they bought from stalls or restaurants. How much better would it taste with this skill?
“In the future, it would be better for you to cook instead of buying food, Master dude.” Tang-E banged on Hyeonu’s back. Hyeonu ignored Tang-E and walked alone through the door that had appeared in front of him.
“Let’s go together, Master dude!”

Senu’s Stage 2 was a vast meadow, and the meadow was colored red. A red that was dark and dense—it was blood. There were hundreds of tents erected on the meadow like a refugee camp, with soldiers in armor lined up inside and outside of them. However, as Hyeonu’s task wasn’t activated, time had stopped flowing, and the soldiers’ movements had paused.
‘Is it war?’ Hyeonu wondered.
While Hyeonu searched the surroundings, the polite voice from earlier rang in Hyeonu’s ears, -In Stage 2, your survival ability in war will be tested. You are currently seeing a battle in the past. If you participate as a soldier and survive until the end, the Stage 2 test will end. It doesn’t matter if it is a defeat or victory. However, there are differences in rewards depending on the progress and rewards. The given time is 3 hours.
[Time remaining - 2:59:59]
The voice’s description of the second task was over. Hyeonu felt fortunate that it wasn’t much different from his expectations.
‘I have to win unconditionally.’
The soldier was smiling with great joy. He didn’t look like a person who would be participating in a bloody battlefield in a short while.
“What are you so happy about? Aren’t you afraid to go into battle?” Hyeonu uttered out loud the words that were in his mind.
The soldier didn’t answer. He just laughed. Soon after, he patted Hyeonu’s shoulder and said, “This is the last one. The last one! I’ve always been crying so far, so I should laugh now. Why shouldn’t I laugh when I’m about to go home? Go over there once you’re ready.”
The soldier disappeared in the direction of the other soldiers.
“Tang-E, we’ll have to work hard this time,” Hyeonu spoke with a firm expression. He was going to work really hard...
Really.
***
Hyeonu entered the midst of the many soldiers. He wore a different outfit, but no one cared about him. So Hyeonu just focused on the spear in his hand and the words of the knight in front of him.
“This is the last time!!! We will win as always!!! The empire won’t lose!!!”
The knight was motivating the soldiers and didn’t explain anything about the battle. He just raised the morale of the soldiers.
‘Is there no strategy?’
Hyeonu was feeling doubtful when the knight added another sentence.
“We’ve already fought dozens of battles on the plains. However, today is really the last one. It is because the Guardian Knights, the number one knights of Luos, will come to support us.”
The moment the knight finished talking, thunderous shouts poured out from the soldiers. They were intense shouts like those of fans seeing their favorite idols.
‘Why do they like the Guardian Knights so much? Are they like the Knights of Keon?’
On the other hand, Hyeonu didn’t know that the Guardian Knights were and just shook his head. Unable to restrain his curiosity, Hyeonu asked the soldier next to him, “What are the Guardian Knights?”
“You don’t even know about the Guardian Knights? It is a knights division made up of only graduates of the intermediate academy,” the soldier said.
He continued to speak, telling Hyeonu about how they were geniuses whose talents had ignited and who then became the pillar of the empire. However, the soldier's words no longer entered Hyeonu’s ears.
‘Senu’s graduates...’
Then it made sense that they were called the Guardian Knights. Just like what the soldier said, Senu’s graduates were indeed proven talents.
‘They are great talents when it comes to dealing with magic power.’
This was obvious considering how Mason, who was talented in magic power control, had yet to clear Laek.
‘They graduated from Senu, so they will excel in other areas.’
The quest seemed to be easier than he thought.
[Time remaining - 2:39:52]
20 minutes had already passed. The Guardian Knights would surely appear once the time limit was up. Once they came, the battlefield would be cleaned up. It was the same as it had been with the Knights of Keon in the past.
