Chapter 889: Shared sensory experience
[Eon's POV: ]
An announcement was made by the headmaster throughout the academy, to every individual present in this academy, including the creatures with higher intelligence.
Some of the individuals that were present somewhere else on this island closely connected with Sir Quesnel also heard that announcement.
The announcement simply told all the individuals to get ready for a (Spiritual linking) process. Something most of the individuals and creatures knew about, and even those who did not know about it understood what they were asking them.
It was the great ancient tree that was saying it and not just anyone else. He had used his unique voice that every individual understood in their best manner.
And, the (Spiritual linking) mentioned here was something very special— as well as important.
'A unique process in which, every individual that the ancient tree wishes is connected with a particular spiritual connection and, those designated by him are allowed to be the centre that shares the sensory experience that they have.'
It is a very unique technique that only those with a complete control over a certain space, someone possessing a total control of a domain could use.
'Sir Quesnel was a special being on this island. Not only was he a guardian of this island like the Keeper under our house, or the queens, but he was also the one that maintained most of the necessary functions of the academy and many areas of the island.
His roots were spread all throughout the island and ultimately, he was able to deal with anyone he wished.
'He was an ancient being that shared his divinity with the original divine individuals that created and grew him.'
He possessed the world's authorities along with his own unique authorities that gave him complete control of this island.
'Lady Cleo asked him for help when she confirmed the true value of the dessert that I had prepared, and with the permission of the headmaster, sir Quesnel used his authority and connected everyone in the academy with Miss Cleo as the core of this entire connection.'
From what I knew about this unique technique, the burden that the core of the spiritual connection had to be someone with a strong will, a strong connection with nature, someone that knew what they were doing, as well as someone that could handle the pressure that the connection of all those thousands of people generated.
It certainly was no easy thing, so even in this academy, there were only a few people that could actually do it.
And, since this matter was related to food, taste, and emotions that this food contained, she was the best candidate for the important role.
'She became the core and with sir Quesnel, everyone in the academy were connected with the spiritual connection.'
And then, she ate all the elements of the snow globe one by one, with one another, and in unique combinations.
'All of us experienced the same kind of feelings that she did through this process. We saw, smelled, tasted, and felt the same things that she did.'
The dessert was different from the starter and the main course as it was actually supposed to represent a certain kind of emotion that I wanted the others to feel.
Even if they had not done this connection thing, everyone would have inevitably felt the same thing as the others while eating those things… and the fact that not just three people but everyone in the academy were able to experience that special feeling was out of my own expectations.
'It was an honour that everyone was able to taste something I made.'
Many of the students had already had some of the things that I make, but this was different.
We all experienced a piece that I had made with genuine efforts and all kinds of special techniques that I don't usually use in the normal cooking process.
The headmasters were able to enjoy it directly, but even with this shared experience, everyone experienced every single thing that Miss Cleo did.
It brought her closer to the whole goal of this experience… when she was finished eating, she took a deep breath and announced her thanks that resonated in the entire academy.
She was speechless after having that experience.
Many of the students and even some of the teachers had tears in their eyes.
They did not why they were crying but they were feeling some strong surge of emotions after the dish was finished.
Even lady Cleo who had tasted countless things in her life, somewhat had tears in her eyes— tears that never got out of her eyes until she wiped them away.
'She only thanked me for the experience. There were no deep words, there was no comments, there was no praise, and there was no criticism.'
There was only a thank you.
And that much was more than enough for me as a creator.
'I merely thanked her and since my presentation was done, I walked back after a graceful bow.'
The process continued.
Some students presented after me, and the test came to an end.
'It was already nighttime by that, and since it was late, everyone instructed to go back to their dorms.'
Tomorrow, we were going to have the superior Magic and weapon practice paper, which would again be a practical test.
'It will be divided in three parts, first of which would be sparring test with random members of our class.'
Then we will have a mock battle with some predetermined enemies that will be divided into various levels.
And lastly, we will have a chance to demonstrate all that we could do and the judges will grade our performance.
'Tomorrow's paper will be one of the earliest ones since everyone is guaranteed to get a passing mark.'
Clearing a paper of any superior class was no simple thing, but after all the training and practise the teacher in charge of this subject put everyone though, it would be funny if someone did manage to fail.
The teacher would beat them up until they are nearly dead anyway so no one was going to hold back in at least the second and third phase of the exam.
'The matchings are going to be random so there will definitely be some resistance from all sides. Alas no one can do anything about the match-ups.'
If one gets paired with a strong opponent, they would just have to do their best not to look too bad when losing. And if someone stronger gets paired against a weaker opponent, they should follow the basic curtsy and help them show a few things that they can do.
'Sometimes, it will be a good thing that they got paired with a strong opponent, but if they get someone like Ezra or Deleon as their opponents, they would be lucky to make it through uninjured.'
They were already famous for being ruthless during the duels. Everyone that goes against them will have to hope for the best.
'It's pretty funny how most of the strong and prominent students have chosen this course as one of their subjects.'
Including Rein and me, Tia, Clara and Alf, Luna and Quin, Hide, Ezra, Chry captain Alpha, Prince Claud, and even a few others are taking this course this year.
It's a famous class, but for all of them to coincidentally be in it at the same time is something quite unique.
'And all of them are also some of the best combat masters with their own specialities.'
They know how to fight and that was the most important in this paper.
"What are you thinking about with that kind of face? You look funny."
We were sitting in our balcony, watching the stars like we usually do at night.
There was no dinner today since our hearts were alredy full after all that eating in the competition.
We surely had some coffee and now we were going to sleep and get up for tomorrow's test.
Only a few days were left for these exams and as soon as they finish, we will be going back to our home.
'There was a lot of things coming up and we were still not ready for all of them.'
The conference was not going to be easy, the whole of the aftermath will also be difficult to deal with.
We don't know what is going to happen if we make any mistake despite all the preparations. So, we had to get ready for that as well.
We will also have to say goodbye to our current mentors for the time being. But we will see them again so that was fine.
"Tomorrow's going to be hectic as well."
I couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
There was so much to do, so much to prepare and so much to look after.
"Well, we have had rough times… we will get past them and smile back at those dummies."
But at least being with this dumb person helped me get through these stupid things.
"Haaa… you're the dummy. Don't fall those important problems dummies you dummy dumdum."
"Hey! Bastard!"
She didn't like it when I called her dummy anymore.
She fights back and sometimes things get physical… and tonight, after that long day, and after expressing all that sorrow, I needed that physical closeness.
"Dummy. Dummy. Dummy. Dumb little witch."
"You little….! That's it!"
She didn't know just how sweet she was sometimes.

'But, it's actually better that she doesn't know.'
It makes things even more fun.
Helps our little games going…
