Alexander looked at Frederic with narrowed eyes
Frederic was not surprised by Alexander's attitude. This boy was smart and cunning. Therefore, it will not be easy to tempt him with a few benefits
This is what prompted Frederic to use his secret weapon. “You will be treated like the rest of the student council members and receive a monthly salary.”
"...." Did he say monthly salary?
Do student council members receive a salary?
Frederic explained. “Student Council members perform many tasks and bear many responsibilities, which wastes a lot of time that they could invest in training. It is natural that we reward them for their efforts using money and resources.”
There was an expression of disbelief on Alexander's face. It also made him turn his eyes towards Leonard
Leonard nodded in confirmation of Frederic's words
This made Alexander more shocked
Doesn't this mean that I was working for free all the time even though I was the Chairman of the Ethics Committee?
I was roaming everywhere to solve the problems facing the academy, and in the end it turned out that everyone was getting a salary while I was in debt.
Damn, I want my money
Alexander bit his lip
Now he knew the reason for that strange feeling that he had been deceived
"Oh come on, boy." Frederic noticed Alexander's angry expression. “Forget what happened, now is a new beginning.”
“Will all my debts be forgiven?”
", of course not."
Damn you, you stingy old man
Alexander closed his eyes so that insults do not come out of his mouth
"Okay, we're done with this topic, now we'll talk about that soup." Frederic looked right and left at the instructors
Oh, I forgot about that
But did they seriously discuss this topic?
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Frederic frowned, seeming to struggle to find the right words. Finally the words came out of his mouth. “If you want to become the king of chefs, there is a long way to go. You are still in your first steps, so we decided that you should join a home economics class.”
" Excuse me..?"
“You should know that there are some lectures that students choose every year.”
Alexander nodded
There were topics that the apprentices had to study
Such as monster science, the basics of using weapons, anatomy and medicine
While there are topics that apprentices can study optionally or they can simply ignore them
But...did I hear that right?
Because I've heard the word 'home economics class'
No way, this might be a small problem with my ears. I think I have to go to the hospital after the meeting
"You're going to join the home economics class."
The good news is that my ear is fine and I don't need to see a doctor
The bad news is that I have gotten myself into a new dilemma
“I know this may be uncomfortable for you, but this is the best option if you intend to become a chef.”
“...” But I like eating, not cooking
Alexander's mind began to work hard to find an escape
But he had no choice but to accept this decision
His acting was perfect and he made it clear to everyone how interested he was in cooking and his desire to become the best chef in the world
If he rejects this decision here, it will destroy the image he painted in the minds of the instructors, making them doubt him again. His acting was the reason that got him into this problem
This is the tax of being a great actor... Alexander sighed inwardly
Alexander leaned his back forward. “Thank you for taking my dreams and desires into consideration.”
The instructors smiled happily
They felt happy every time they found a student who could take a step towards his goal
They sincerely hope that Alexander becomes a world-class chef that everyone knows
But they did not know that Alexander's smile expressed the bitterness he felt
So he bent his back at a ninety degree angle to hide his expression
Is he really going to be forced to take a home economics class?
---------
Maria is informed that she must attend a meeting of the Academy Council
This is the first time they have been called to an emergency meeting
Maria knew immediately that something was wrong
She called Sylvia directly to find out the reason for the meeting
“I don’t know what happened, but I think Alexander is the reason.” Sylvia's answer was short
"..." It's Alexander again
There was a line between Alexander and her
They did not interfere in each other's affairs and would not speak to each other except when necessary
They respected this limit and did not cross it
Alexander's calm personality helped maintain this system
The only moment she spoke about Alexander's behavior was during their last meeting in the palace, and she later regretted what she said.
But recently a lot of chaos started happening because of Alexander
Hit the students
Confessing his love to the Imperial Princess
Using a lethal liquid to poison students
All these incidents were related to Alexander
And everyone knows that Alexander is part of the Ford family
When rumors began to spread, they included information that the Ford family was protecting Alexander, who was playing in the academy and causing trouble everywhere
This made the Ford family's reputation worse
Maria was trying to Polishing and refining the reputation of the Ford family to attract new talent and strengthen the family's authority
Three full years were spent building this reputation, but Alexander was able to destroy this reputation in one month
She decided to take Alexander and talk to him about his recent actions
This madness must be stopped or the family's reputation will be completely destroyed
Maria attended the meeting and inside her there was a determination to stop Alexander's rampage
But the conversation between Alexander and Principal Frederic had left her confused
“Your plan has succeeded, so you deserve a reward.”
"...." What plan is the Principal talking about?
“I have decided to make you an honorary member of the student council.”
"..." What is this thing?
Sylvia began to ask the Principal what an honorary council member meant
“I just invented it.”
"...." Wait a minute, is this even legal?
“You will join a home economics class to fulfill your dream of becoming a King of chefs.”
“...” Did he just say the King of chefs?
Maria was keeping her calm expression but was internally struggling to keep up with this conversation
She didn't understand what was happening in front of her
It seemed like there were a lot of things that happened that she didn't know about
After some thought she began to paint a picture of what was happening
There seems to be some kind of cooperation between Alexander and the Academy Council
In this case, were Alexander's incomprehensible actions part of a plan drawn up by the Academy Council?
This conclusion explains a lot of things
But there is still one thing that is not understood
"...." When did Alexander dream of becoming a chef?
