Chapitre 14: Chapter 14

The boy cooking the hotpot finally stood up and announced, "The hotpot is done! Anyone want to try it? I can share!"

Some students eagerly rushed forward, plates in hand. William blinked, wondering where they even got plates from. Before the boy began serving, he raised a hand and said with a smug grin, "But just so you know, this isn't any ordinary hotpot. The chilies I used were grown with the help of an ability—so it's super spicy."

At this, some students withdrew their plates, hurriedly retreating to their seats. But a few brave souls remained.

"Oh, so we have some tough ones, huh?" the boy teased, laughing as he began to serve them.

The first student, full of confidence, took a bite. The moment the spicy broth hit his tongue, his expression went blank. He silently placed the spoon and plate down, stood up, and—without saying a word—began performing a graceful Chinese dance. His movements were fluid and elegant, surprising everyone.
