Chapter 90: One More
Leaving the clothing store Afternoon Tea Party, Reiner took Claire to the best-reputed restaurant in Torrendo for lunch.
Smoked pork knuckle with black vinegar sauce, steamed prawns with garlic sauce, cumin lamb chops, pan-fried trout, assorted vegetable soup, pork pie, seared beef shoulder, roasted whole chicken with dill, stewed Cheese potato, red wine seafood risotto, chickpea bacon salad, cold-cut lobster with caviar, caramel pudding, and other foods were put on the table one by one. Claire's eyes glowed the sparkling light, while holding a knife and fork in her hands, her saliva almost overflowed from her mouth.
"Eat whatever you want."
Reiner felt the sights from the neighboring tables and the waiter and smiled helplessly.
"Can I really eat whatever I want?"
Stars appeared in Claire's eyes, and she suddenly felt that Reiner seemed to be a great person and had become the second-best guy in her heart. By the way, the first-best should be the former principal who raised her.
"Yes, I still have the money."
Reiner picked up a glass of red wine and clinked with Claire's glass.
"Then I won't decline it anymore."
Claire said, cutting a large piece of chicken with her knife, and began to enjoy the food.
Seeing her eating happily, Reiner felt that his appetite had also improved a lot. He got a prawn, skillfully opened the shell with the knife and fork, and sent it to his mouth.
The fresh sea scent and the spicy garlic flavor complemented each other, like ripples on the calm sea. The few spices added to the sauce shone like the stars on the sea, and the shrimp meat as the protagonist seemed to rise from the horizon like a bright moon and developed everything in its soft light.
"It is worthy of being the top restaurant in Torrendo, Both the ingredients and cooking techniques are excellent."
Reiner nodded in admiration, and looked at Claire, who was wolfing down the food without a lady-like appearance.
"This is delicious, this is also super delicious, this is so delicious!"
She could only use the most basic words to describe these foods, but after all, being able to squeeze out a few words while chewing was already quite remarkable for Claire.
"Slow down."
Reiner said. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a few familiar people who were also coming to this restaurant.
That was the Patchell family.
Obviously, the two bratty kids should have been tortured by Reiner's test papers this morning. They looked listless, and they were several times more depressed than the mischievous appearance last night.
The two children lowered their heads, while their mother was lecturing them.
"Aren't you two doing pretty well in your usual grades? Why can't you even do these basic topics? You must be slacking off recently!"
"But that's so difficult, it's definitely not a basic topic!"
The younger brother James tried to argue, but was choked off by Mrs. Packwell's glare.
"Don't argue. Look at Mrs. Falchion's son. He is one year older than you. But now he is a formal mage, but you can't even solve these simple topics."
Mrs. Patchell scolded, making both brothers not daring to raise their heads.
The two of them quickly noticed the existence of Reiner. But it was not Reiner that attracted their attention, but the pile of food on the table in front of Claire. It was so conspicuous that it was hard for people not to notice.
When the Elder Brother, Roger, saw Reiner, he pulled his brother James' cuff immediately and whispered.
Soon, they met Reiner's eyes. The two brothers only felt a chill in their backs, as if a curse was taking effect. They shivered all over and quickly turned their heads as if they hadn't seen Reiner.
After thinking about it, Reiner suddenly had a mischievous idea in his mind. He stood up, went to the place where the Patchell family was seated, and greeted them.
"What a coincidence. We met again. I wonder how the two young masters are doing with the topic I presented to them yesterday?
After the greeting, Reiner asked with a smile.
"Really disappointing, Mr.Ian Gray, if you have time, please give them some guidance for me in the future."
Mrs. Patchell shook her head. Her husband didn't care much about the children's studies, and he only thought about councilors in his head all the time. Instead, the handsome young man seemed to care a lot about her children, which made her who didn't know much about magic feel gratified.
"Hehe, although those questions are basic, the way to solve them is very tricky. It requires more exercise to solve them. In fact, I still have a simpler test paper here..."
Reiner said, and he was about to take out the second set of test papers from his bag, but the two students immediately stopped him.
"Please wait, Mr. Ian Gray, I think we still need to digest the previous test paper..."
Rog squeezed out an awkward smile and said. He didn't want his mother to force him to do those damn difficult papers anymore.
It was indeed true that Roger and James were naughty, but they were still considered top students in the school. How would they be able to take the blow from Reiner's test papers repeatedly? After sitting for an hour, they couldn't answer a single question. More importantly, they couldn't even understand the reference answer as well!
This man was so evil!
"Yes, yes, we will ask for advice next time we have the opportunity."
James hurriedly nodded his head, his body and mind were devastated by that test paper, and more importantly, their mother believed in Reiner even more!
"If that's the case, then forget it. You will have the exam tomorrow, so you need to relax more."
Reiner stopped and said rather helplessly and earnestly.
"Mrs. Patchell, you shouldn't scold them too much. Children are born to like to have fun, and the combination of having both study and rest is more efficient."
"I understand, Mr. Ian Gray."
Mrs. Patchell nodded, and felt that the young man in front of her looked more and more pleasing to her eyes. She patted her two sons on the shoulders and said in a commanding tone.
"You two, say thank you to Mr. Ian Gray."
Hearing what his mother said, the two brothers looked a little ugly. They would only want to curse Reiner, but now they needed to bow their heads to thank him?
But Mrs. Patchell was obviously more authoritative in the field of disciplining children at home. Mr. Patchell was ordering food and didn't care about what was happening here. Roger and James had nowhere to ask for help, so they could only speak obediently.
"Thank you Mr. Ian Gray."
"You are welcome, this is what I should do."
Reiner resisted the urge to laugh and only gave a faint smile.
His response made the two brothers horrified, as if Reiner was a demon who could eat children raw.
It was many years later that the Patchell brothers realized that they were the first victims of the Great Devil Reiner who would make all mage apprentices tremble when they heard his name
