Chapter 1520
The blazing flames in the monitor swallowed Kieran's figure, but in the next moment, he was already walking out safety . He wasn't even dirty, let alone hurt .
"Flame Resist talent? No, that's not right . Even if it was Flame Resist, he shouldn't be this casual, which means… Fire Affinity?"
Eiderburgh stood up and gasped hard, the inconceivable look in his eyes was replaced by astonishment .
As the person in charge of the cafeteria, Eiderburgh knew how important Fire Affinity was to a chef .
"2567, eh?" Eiderburgh recalled everything he knew about this freshman, and he raised his evaluation to a new high .
However, it didn't mean he would give up the upcoming tests .
When Kieran pushed the office door open, he saw a buff, tall, middle-aged man that looked like a silverback gorilla with a pipe in his mouth . The middle-aged man tilted his head and slanted his eyes as he sized up Kieran from top to bottom .
Eiderburgh's eyes were sharp and pressuring .
Typical students would feel uneasy from his stare, let alone look him in the eyes .
Kieran, however, looked at Eiderburgh with a level gaze; he even had the courage to size up the office .
The office looked like an ordinary office and had everything that an office should have, but the cubicle was something out of the blue .
As Kieran picked up the smell from the little cubicle, his eyes shone . He was sure, even without opening the door to the cubicle, that behind that door was the transport hub that delivered food from the underground kitchen to the cafeteria above ground, which was coincidentally his goal .
Dok Dok .
Eiderburgh knocked on his desk loudly .
"What do you want here? Given your strength and talents, you can get yourself into a better research lab . Or do you and every other idiot out there think that the cafeteria has a secret beyond sight?" Eiderburgh asked in a less-than-friendly way, his voice cold .
Kieran was not moved, though, and he pointed at the cubicle instead .
"I want to be a food tester," he said .
"A food tester?" Eiderburgh was shocked .
The cafeteria did have its own food tester, but he had never considered that Kieran's goal could be to become one . From his original point of view, even if Kieran wanted in the cafeteria whole-heartedly, he must have heard some bullsh*t rumors about the secrets .
With the "help" of those rumors, Kieran would be exactly like the previous students who joined the cafeteria's kitchen staff . He'd bear the burden willingly for a few months, or even the whole semester, and in the end, leave angrily because of the fruitless outcome .
"Are you sure you want to become a food tester?" Eiderburgh asked again, just to confirm .
"Yes," Kieran nodded .
Eiderburgh sized up Kieran's gaze and expression . He paused for a moment before he continued, "A food tester of the cafeteria isn't like the others in the research lab, you must have a sharp tongue and unimaginable appetite . Do you think you are up for the job?"
"Why don't we test it out?" Kieran smiled happily .
Kieran had always been careful and never oversold himself in other aspects, but in terms of eating, he had unrivaled confidence in Gluttony .
Eiderburgh somehow felt uneasy when he saw Kieran's smile . However, after sizing up Kieran and his physique, he discarded the uneasiness . Although there were some abilities that could speed up digestion, it was dependant on the user's body; hence only a strong body could house a strong digestive system with sound absorption .
Kieran had a straight body and could be considered fit, but only to ordinary people . To Eiderburgh, who had witnessed the bodies of countless gluttonous eaters, Kieran's physique was far from ideal .
Eiderburgh, with the pipe in his mouth, pointed at the cubicle .
"Of course, we are going to test it out! It's a test for you! That place is the transfer hub for the dishes . I want you to give it all you got: there's no need to hold back, so don't take small bites, eat as much as you can, and display your potential as a food tester!" Eiderburgh said loudly .
He saw Kieran into the transfer hub and waited for a bloated Kieran to return .
He wanted to add more tobacco into his pipe in the meantime as he anticipated how ugly that kid who had had no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth would end up .
However, as he bent down for some tobacco, his communicator rang .
After he answered it, the message stunned Eiderburgh .
"The Index of Eat? Are you sure?" Eiderburgh asked in furrowed brows .
"I'm not, but pay attention to it," the voice on the other side of the communicator answered .
"Wait, I'll be right there . " Eiderburgh then stood up, pressed some buttons on his desk, and walked towards the secret door in his office—it allowed him to reach his destination quicker .
As for Kieran?
Although he couldn't be the first to see how ugly Kieran will be, Eiderburgh believed he would have the chance in the future .
After all, when Eiderburgh entered the information for confirmation on his desk, Kieran was already part of the cafeteria .
…
The cafeteria was above ground .
The freshmen with their meal vouchers were lined up in an orderly fashion and waited patiently .
It was the first time they entered the cafeteria, so the environment was a little new for them, and everything was so fresh and exciting . As freshmen, they didn't know how long it usually took for the dishes to be served, so they did not complain or rant at all .
On the other hand, 2nd-year and 3rd-year students were discussing fiercely, and dissatisfaction broke out .
"What is going on today?"
"Why is it taking so long for the dishes to be served?"
"It usually takes 5 minutes, but now it's already been half an hour!"
"Half an hour? I've been waiting for 45 minutes!"
"The day is getting dark soon!"
"Am I walking in the dark today?"
"In the dark? Forget it! I don't want to vanish without a sign . "
"But I'm hungry!"
…
The ceaseless clatters grew louder, and eventually, the freshmen joined the clatters after they knew what happened . The clatters evolved into clamors .
The clamors continued to grow, and the dissatisfaction caused by hungry grew and spread over the entire cafeteria .
Fortunately, before the situation got out of control, the members of the E Block Student Council arrived under Gutti's lead .
"QUIET!" Gutti shouted at the students, and all of the chatters quiet down right away .
All of the students in Theorate knew never to oppose the folks from Student Council unless they wished not to graduate .
