Volume 5: Demon Slayer Chapter 002: Recruiting a Disciple
After being fooled by Emiya, Liu Maoxing has completely regarded Emiya as an immortal.
Of course, it’s not really a lie when Emiya calls himself a sage.
In the Hunter world, people who master the ability of Nen are generally called geniuses, rulers, psychics, supermen, and even immortals.
And since Emiya has mastered the ability of Nen, he can definitely call himself a sage.
"Sage, Sage, how are you going to help me?" Liu Maoxing grabbed the corner of Emiya's clothes and asked curiously, "Sage, can you turn me into a cooking god with just one magic?"
Emiya shook his head and said, " I can't do that, but I can teach you fairy arts so that you can become a cooking god soon."
Fairy Bei was shocked and said quickly: "How can this be possible?"
"Why not?" Emiya asked.
Fairy Bei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, yes, why not, "Mr. Emiya, do you mean to take Xing as your apprentice?"
Emiya nodded. He took advantage of Liu Maoxing's young age to accept him as his apprentice and teach him the ability of Nen. In the future, when Liu Maoxing became a god of cooking, he would still be his master.
As a master , would Liu Maoxing refuse to eat the talent of his apprentice? Of course not. With Liu Maoxing's character, how could he refuse the master's order?
Well, I am worthy of your thoughtfulness.
"That's right, I think Axing is very talented and is suitable to be my apprentice." Emiya said with a smile.
After thinking it over again and again, Fairy Bei agreed. However, in the eyes of an ancient person like her, becoming a disciple is not a trivial matter and must be done with caution.
Emiya was willing to keep things simple, but Fairy Bei was unwilling to do so. Emiya had no choice but to let Fairy Bei do the work.
Fairy Bei not only selected an auspicious day, but also invited several local celebrities to witness the scene of Liu Maoxing becoming his apprentice, giving enough face to Emiya.
On that day, Fairy Bei personally cooked and prepared a sumptuous apprenticeship banquet for Emiya.
According to her own words, Liu Maoxing is still young and cannot prepare such a sumptuous apprenticeship banquet, so she has to do it instead.
When the day comes that Liu Maoxing is ready to go out as an apprentice, let him personally prepare a banquet for Wei Gong to celebrate his apprenticeship.
Naturally, Emiya would not refuse this matter and agreed to it happily.
After the apprenticeship banquet, Liu Maoxing officially became Wei Gong's apprentice.
That night, after dinner, Emiya and Fairy Bei's family began to teach Liu Maoxingnian how to practice.
When Fairy Bei saw this scene, she hurriedly pulled her daughter Liu Keling and prepared to leave.
"No, no." Emiya waved his hand and said, "You guys stay too and practice with Axing."
Fairy Bei was stunned, "Can we... can we too?"
Isn't it said that the teachings should not be easily spread? How come here anyone can learn it?
Emiya said calmly: "Of course, you are my apprentice's family, not outsiders. What's wrong with learning from him? No problem."
Fairy Bei always felt that something was wrong, but the temptation of magic was too great, especially the longing expression in her daughter Liu Keling's eyes, which made her unable to move forward.
"Can we really learn?" she couldn't help but ask again.
"Don't worry, if I say yes, it's okay. I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"
Fairy Bei finally felt relieved and pulled her daughter to listen to Shimiya's explanation.
Emiya explained the practice of Nen in simple terms several times, while observing the reactions of the three people. Liu Maoxing seemed to understand but not quite, while his sister Liu Keling seemed to be thinking about something.
Among the three people, the only one who could understand Emiya's meaning was Fairy Bei.
But if you think about it carefully, it is normal for Fairy Bei, as the adult among the three, to understand Emiya's explanation.
Liu Maoxing is too young, so it is normal that he doesn’t understand.
However, with Liu Maoxing's intelligence, I believe it won't take long for him to understand what Shirou means.
For the next few days, Emiya stayed in the Kikuxia Building, teaching the method of practicing Nen to Liu Maoxing, Liu Keling, and Fairy Bei, while working on developing his own Nen ability.
After some time of pondering, Emiya has come up with a perfect method on how to develop his own Nen ability.
Combine the skills you know to create a powerful beast!
A mind beast is an individual that can act independently and is summoned by a mind user.
Usually, people with various abilities can summon mind beasts, but the mind beasts of different types have very different characteristics, and several types are not very suitable for using mind beasts.
For example, the Strengthening System is to enhance the original nature of oneself or a weapon. It is a system that can maximize the abilities of attack, defense, and healing. The Strengthening System itself is the best weapon, and its offense and defense are the strongest among all systems.
If you allocate a part of your mental power to the mental beast, it will weaken your own advantages, so it is not suitable to use the mental beast.
There is also the transformation system, which can change the nature or shape of the generated gas, such as turning the gas into lightning or thunder. When the gas is connected to one's body, it is extremely powerful, but once it is separated, the power will drop sharply.
Therefore, the transformation system is not very suitable for mind beasts.
The only types that are truly suitable for mind beasts are the operation type, the release type, and the materialization type.
Although Emiya is a trait type, he has reactions from the other five types.
So he can completely create a mind beast of his own.
The appearance of a mind beast can be human, animal, magical beast or creature that does not exist in reality.
Depending on the ability of the summoner, the mind beast can also speak, have a certain intelligence to make judgments, or have other special abilities.
After thinking it over again and again, Emiya decided to use his imagination to create a terrifying beast.
Greedy Dragon.
In addition, Emiya also gave several of his own skills to the dragon, including iron wall, healing, physical resistance, magic resistance, abnormal state resistance, and even the most important life absorption.
This is the big deal.
Life absorption is a skill that Emiya learned from the lich Wiz. It can absorb the enemy's life and magic, and can also distribute his own physical strength and magic power to others.
The mind beast that Emiya created with this ability as the core and combined with other skills... the Greedy Dragon, can not only absorb the vitality of other people, enhance Emiya's vitality and physical strength, but also share Emiya's vitality with others.
Anyone who obtains Emiya's vitality can recover from any injury, even regenerate severed limbs or even bring the dead back to life.
Of course, the above is just Emiya's most ideal idea. As to whether it can be achieved, it is still an unknown.
But Emiya will work hard in this direction.
With the magic of Nen ability, maybe this can really be done. By that time, Emiya will also have the means to resurrect others.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.
During these ten days, Emiya ate the food carefully prepared by Fairy Bei every day.
Fairy Bei took very good care of her son's master. She took great pains to prepare meals for Shirou every day, and basically every meal was different.
Magical Mapo Tofu, Kikushita Sauce, Spicy Shredded Chicken, Spicy Rabbit Head, Golden Fried Rice... Emiya wants to eat more after trying them.
Even though these things didn't use any rare ingredients, the taste was so delicious that Emiya couldn't stop eating.
Fairy Bei is worthy of being Fairy Bei.
Emiya was finally convinced. With such skills, even Dojima Gin and the others couldn't match him.
At this moment, Emiya suddenly thought of Erina Nakiri.
As his own personal cook, although Erina Nakiri's skills are good, compared with Fairy Bei, she is nothing but a dwarf and they are not on the same level at all .
So, Emiya started to think about it.
"Master Abe."
On this day, after dinner, Emiya called out to Fairy Bei who was cleaning up the dishes.
Fairy Bei stopped what she was doing and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Emiya?"
Emiya said, "Master Abe, to be honest, I actually have a private cook. Although her cooking skills are good, they are far inferior to yours, Master Abe. So can I call her over and let Master Abe give her some pointers?"
Fairy Bei originally thought it was some big deal, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Emiya, for thinking highly of me. Please invite the cook here. I will definitely teach her everything I know and will never keep anything for myself."
Emiya clapped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Abe. I'll be back soon."
After that, he activated his ability, entered the earthly world, and came to the goddess's restaurant.
At this time, it was noon and the restaurant was full of guests.
Emiya came to the kitchen and saw Dojima Gin and the others were busy. His personal cook Erina and secretary Arato Hisako were busy cutting vegetables.
What’s even more interesting is that Emiya actually felt the presence of Nen in Erina.
It's only been a while since we last met, but Erina Nakiri has actually learned how to read.
In fact, it wasn't just her. Dojima Gin and the others all learned how to read it.
That's really impressive.
"Erina." Emiya called out.
Nakiri Erina, who was busy chopping vegetables, looked up and said, "Lord Emiya? You're here like this?"
Emiya said, "I recently went to a new world and met a very good chef. I want you to come over and learn from him."
Yukihira Joichiro, who was cooking, brightened his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Oh, Lord Emiya, who is that chef and how good is he?"
"What, you want to compete?" Emiya saw through his thoughts at a glance.
Yukihira Joichiro did not deny it, but instead said confidently: "It's not often that I get the chance to learn from such a great chef."
Emiya thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go out and wait for you to finish your work this afternoon, then I'll take you there and show you what it means that there are always people better than you."
With Fairy Bei's strength, it would be no problem for her to crush everyone present.
After all, the Chef Boy is not very scientific. You have to know that even if the world of Food Wars! is awesome, the food will not shine.
And every dish made by Fairy Bei glows.
