Chapter 2283: Chef’s Training Center
Mag and Hydle arranged a time and made some basic confirmations on the exchange channels between the teachers of the two colleges.
Hydle continued asking Mag about the steam engine and Mag promised to bring him around the factory when he was free. After that, Hydle left happily.
Mag watched Hydle disappear into the distance before closing the door
Hydle was actually very close to inventing the steam engine but there was a fine line between a eureka moment and a futile pursuit of a lifetime.
In the afternoon, Mag received news from the Night Elves construction team. The holistic building was completed and all the barricades had been completely dismantled.
Mag was not in a rush to inspect the work. Instead, he went over only after the dinner service ended.
The four-story high building towered beside the two-story cafeteria, making it appear very majestic.
Mag could still see the intricate floral carvings on the pillars and roof under the moonlight. They were as beautiful as exquisite art pieces.
“What a waste to put such skills into construction instead of craft.” Mag lamented. Elves were natural artists indeed.
The school had security officers but Mag flipped over the wall to enter the campus. He unlocked the door to the first floor lobby of the building.
…
The first floor was the practical hall. However, it was currently just an empty 500 square meter space. The floor was lined with large, square marble tiles.
“System, you can deliver the goods now.” Mag snapped his fingers.
With a crisp ding, the shiny metallic kitchenware appeared in the hall, lined up in neat rows. There were more than 100 sets.
In an instant, the empty hall had become a professional lecture theater with neatly arranged metallic cooking benches gleaming under the moonlight.
There were wall-mounted and hanging oil lamps but Mag made a switch to quickly light up and extinguish the lights. All that was needed was to add oil into the lamp periodically. Although it might not be brighter than electric lights, it is still more appropriate and Mag would not have to go about explaining the electric lights.
Mag looked at the majestic practical teaching hall and nodded with satisfaction. He could already see himself teaching here. To think of it, there was a need for him to get an amplifier.
The lights lit up from the first floor all the way up. Mag went upstairs to look around. The tables and chairs were placed neatly in the multi-purpose classroom, making the place look more like a classroom.
The teacher’s office on the third floor looked simple and neat. Because the area was large, each individual office came with a mini lounge. It was a very thoughtful design.
Mag had considered the fact that he would not be the only teacher in this training center. He also could not guarantee that he would always be in Chaos City. Therefore, he would still need to train two to three other teachers to manage the daily operations.
Rena was not a bad choice. However, she was planning her second hot pot restaurant and was even busier than him.
Among the restaurant’s employees, Firis’s kebab-making skills were good enough for her to teach. Therefore, she could come over to be a part-time teacher.
Mag quickly looked around the holistic building and left silently, after switching all the lights off, before the security officer woke up.
He placed the keys to the building on Luna’s office table and left her a note before going home.
***
Luna arrived at school early in the morning. She would have to organize a large-scale interview to choose 20 out of the 200 Night Elves as the reserve for the teaching team in Hope School.
She came to her office and took the name list as she got ready for her morning meeting.
After that, she noticed the bunch of keys and the note underneath the keys on her table.
“Teacher Luna, the Chef’s Training Center is completed. Please take a look.”
It was a very familiar set of handwriting… It was Mag’s handwriting.
She had already received news from the Night Elves’ construction team that the construction work for the training center had ended. However, she did not take part in this project since Mag was the one managing the entire workflow.
Now that Mag had placed the keys on her table, work on the training center had probably completely ended.
It was just a short span of four to five days. What astonishing efficiency.
Luna took the name list and the keys, hesitated for a while, and still decided to take a look at the training center before going for her morning meeting.
“Ma’am.” Luna happened to run into Hera, who was carrying a pile of papers, when she walked out.
“This has been sent over by the Night Elves. They are the personal particulars of the elves taking part in today’s interview,” Hera said.
“Let’s put them in the meeting room first. We can look through them together during the meeting later.” Luna nodded with a smile and said, “I want to go to the Chef’s Training Center.”
“The Chef’s Training Center?” Hera was stunned. She suddenly said with realization, “You mean the beautiful building beside the cafeteria?”
“Yes.”
“Was that really built by Mr. Mag? It was completed in just a few days?” Hera was in disbelief.
“If you’re so curious, put the files down and head over with me,” Luna said with a smile.
“Alright! Right away!” Hera ran over to the meeting room at the end of the corridor with the papers and then followed Luna downstairs eagerly as they walked towards the cafeteria.
Lessons had yet to commence in Hope School but there was a morning meeting today so many teachers had already arrived on campus.
Right now, many teachers were crowding around the building beside the cafeteria, sizing up the beautiful and majestic building.
This was an architecture made by the perfect fusion of stone and wood. It was mainly light gray, giving it a mature yet trendy feel. The wooden carvings were intricate and one could tell that a lot of effort was put into the construction of the building.
“The Chef’s Training Center. Aye, what a pity this building was not used to teach magic.”
“Forget it. There is no link between magic and this building at all. I think it’s more suitable to be used as an academic block for the lower primary students. The children would definitely love it.”
“Hehe, I think it is very suitable as a Chef’s Training Center. The children can cook here and bring it next door to the cafeteria to eat. There would be no issues of food wastage at all.”
“What a pity the place is locked up. I wonder what it looks like inside. It was completed in such a short time. I reckon the basic interior renovation hasn’t been completed, right?”
The teachers discussed their curiosity towards the interior of the training center.
“The keys are with me. If all of you are interested, let’s go in to take a look.” Luna walked over with a smile as she lifted the keys in her hand.
“Ma’am, is the training center really completed?” Meli went up to Luna curiously.
She knew very well that this Chef’s Training Center only started construction a few days ago after Mag attended and passed the teacher’s test. It had not even been a week since then and this was such a big project. Just the number of tables and chairs of various designs that would be needed alone were uncountable.
The others also looked at Luna curiously.
“I want to know the answer to your question too.” Luna went forward with a smile. She unlocked the padlock hanging on the door and pushed open the door to the training center.
