Chapter 287: He makes delicious tea
After walking through the Academy Tower, Matt arrived at one of the main offices and knocked on the door.
A voice came from the other side of the door, allowing him to enter, so he went in.
On the other side of the room was a beautiful woman wearing glasses, sitting on a couch.
"You can sit down, and if you want to drink Tea, you can help yourself freely. The Tea here is quite impressive," she said, smiling softly and kindly.
Matt looked at her for a brief moment until he advanced.
Since she was offered Tea, he wasn't going to be rude. He hadn't had Tea in a long time because he only liked the Tea Charlotte made, but since he was, he would like to try the Tea of this world.
So he poured himself a small cup of Tea, but before he drank it, he frowned.
'Very bad tea...' He thought and sighed. He tried to drink it, but the taste of the Tea was lousy.
'It's worse than I thought...' He thought, trying to avoid spitting it out.
Mia Holmer noticed this, so she was surprised. "You don't like it?"
Matt looked at her and sighed. "You'll excuse me, Mrs. Holmer. Not to offend you, but this Tea tastes terrible." He wasn't polite in saying this, which surprised Mia.
"Oh? That's Tea made from Green Dragon Leaf, which grew in the Holy House of Tea, the Main House of the Tea Clan. Also, not to praise me, but in the Academy, I'm the one who makes the best Tea. Does it really taste that bad?" She actually didn't look upset; she really wasn't. Her question was genuine out of wanting to know what kind of tastes this enigmatic and talented student might have.
Matt set the Tea aside and sighed. "The ingredients are fine, but the way it's made is not right for said ingredients. The person who taught me how to make Tea would possibly say this is a waste of good resources."
Mia was surprised by his response and burst out laughing. "Hahahaha, boy, those are some interesting words. The only person who has said them to me so far is someone of incredible status and who can make the best Tea in the world, so I accepted them willingly.
Your status is not as incredible as hers, so I hope you can convince me with other skills." After saying that and stopping to laugh, she passed him some ingredients to make the Tea.
"I'm a big tea drinker, and I love it. So, if you want me to accept you, why don't you convince me with a good tea?" she asked, smiling softly.
Her manner of speaking showed that what had happened here was within her expectations. From the start, she wanted to test Matt, using Tea as a medium.
Matt sighed. "Honestly, I don't need you to accept me. But since Mrs. Holmer is the one who created the Magical Artifacts I'm using, then I'll thank you by showing you the way to make good Tea with these ingredients." Matt said and stood up.
'I'll have to use your tricks to make the tea, Charlotte.' He thought and moved to prepare the Tea.
Mia Holmer looked at him, full of confidence. Without a hint of doubt, she wondered if it was true that his Tea was much better than this. So she was interested and did not take her eyes off him.
He boiled the water on a small stove behind the desk, using a somewhat unique boiling process, or so Mia Holmer thought. Immediately, she felt the process familiar to her, but the only one she could remember coming to her mind told her it was impossible.
With smooth, slow movements, Matt moved through that small stove, preparing the Tea with the ingredients. After a few minutes of the detailed process, Matt finished.
The aroma of the Tea wafted through the room, and it was that aroma that brought Mia Holmer back to reality.
'What? Was I stunned looking at the way he made Tea? Is it as good as he says?' In shock, she breathed in that delicious aroma that filled the room.
Matt then came back and poured her some tea.
"You can try it; it's much better than the one you made." He spoke.
When she felt the aroma up close and saw the texture, the heat level was just right. Everything was much more perfect than what she made.
This Tea could revitalize and relax her just by its aroma alone. If she had fallen asleep right now, just from this aroma, all the tiredness in her body would have been erased in 15 minutes.
'Is it that good?'
She swallowed saliva a little before tasting the Tea...
Suddenly, her eyes sparkled, and her countenance brightened. She couldn't help but take another sip of Tea and then a third.
"It's delicious!" She said suddenly, unable to contain her excitement and enthusiasm.
Matt smiled at her. 'Although Charlotte's is much better, this isn't bad either.' He thought after taking a few sips.
"You see? The ingredients are very good; it's just that the preparation is wrong."
Mia looked at him admiringly and took several more sips. "I saw you making a process very similar to mine, and I learned it from someone who makes Tea as delicious as this. That being the case, why does my tea taste different?" She asked.
But Matt shook his head. "Before that, I think we'd better get back to the main topic. I can eventually teach you how to make Tea, Mrs. Holmer." He replied.
She looked at him somewhat reproachfully but still nodded.
"You're right. We don't have much time either." She spoke. She enjoyed the Tea for a few more minutes until she finished the one in her glass.
Finally, she decided to go to the main topic.
"Bring out the Magic Artifact; I'll show you its secrets." She spoke. Find adventures on m v l e m p y r
Matt then pulled out one of the hexagonal items he had. She got up and walked over to him, sitting beside him.
"It's a pity it's not complete, but part of them is enough for you to summon." She spoke.
