With the summer break officially kicking off, I spent my first few days holed up in the reinforced basement of the new Ashborne mansion. I was collaborating with Merle to manufacture elemental Magic Bullets and refine my newly acquired [Sixth Sense]. When I wasn't doing that, I was helping Lily and Irina manage the newly relocated and heavily upgraded Kitchen 21.
The break was a great opportunity to move freely outside the Academy, gather resources, and prepare for the mid-game disasters.
But on the fifth day, reality caught up with me. I had to attend the very first meeting of the ill-fated Gourmet Exploration Club.
The magical communication slate in my pocket had been buzzing non-stop since the night before.
[Prof. Amy]: Hey everyone! Let's meet up for our first official club activity! Is tomorrow at 11 AM okay for everyone? (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)
[Bordon]: Oh! Sounds great! Where's the meat?!
[Kael]: Yes, I am available. I look forward to our cooperative mission, President Lucien.
