After Emiya finished speaking, Mao completely believed he was a celestial.
Of course, Emiya calling himself a celestial wasn't entirely a lie.
In the Hunter x Hunter world, those who mastered Nen were often called geniuses, rulers, superhumans, or even celestials.
And since Emiya had mastered Nen, calling himself one wasn't wrong.
"Celestial, celestial," Mao grabbed the hem of Emiya's clothes, eyes shining. "How are you going to help me? Can you just use a celestial technique and turn me into a God of Cooking?"
Emiya shook his head.
"I can't do that."
"But I can teach you a celestial technique that will help you become a God of Cooking faster."
Madam Pai was shocked.
"How could that be possible?"
She froze, then suddenly realized something.
"...Wait. Mr. Emiya, are you saying you want to take A-Xing as your apprentice?"
Emiya nodded.
He planned to take Mao as his disciple while he was still young and teach him Nen.
When Mao became a God of Cooking in the future, he would still be Emiya's apprentice.
And if a master wanted to eat food made by his disciple, would Mao refuse?
Of course not.
With Mao's personality, refusing his master wouldn't even cross his mind.
Emiya was very satisfied with this plan.
"As expected of me," he thought calmly.
"I see great talent in A-Xing," Emiya said with a smile. "He's perfect to be my apprentice."
After some thought, Madam Pai agreed.
But to someone of her generation, taking a disciple was no small matter.
It had to be handled properly.
Emiya was fine keeping things simple.
Madam Pai was not.
In the end, Emiya could only let her arrange everything.
She chose an auspicious date.
She invited local dignitaries to witness the apprenticeship ceremony.
She gave Emiya plenty of face.
That day, Madam Pai personally prepared a lavish banquet.
It was to celebrate Mao officially becoming Emiya's disciple.
According to her, Mao was still too young to cook such a banquet himself.
When he graduated in the future, he would prepare one for Emiya with his own hands.
Emiya accepted without hesitation.
After the banquet, Mao officially became Emiya's apprentice.
That night, after dinner, Emiya began teaching Mao the method of cultivating Nen.
Madam Pai quickly grabbed her daughter, Karin, and prepared to leave.
"No, no," Emiya waved his hand.
"You two stay as well. Cultivate together with A-Xing."
Madam Pai was stunned.
"We... can we?"
In her understanding, secret techniques weren't passed on casually.
Yet Emiya was letting everyone learn?
Emiya replied calmly.
"Of course. You're my disciple's family. Not outsiders."
"What's wrong with learning it? Nothing at all."
Something felt slightly off to Madam Pai.
But the temptation was too great.
Especially when she saw the longing in Karin's eyes.
"...Can we really learn?" she asked again.
"If I say you can, then you can," Emiya said. "I'm not worried. Why should you be?"
Only then did Madam Pai relax.
She pulled Karin over and listened carefully.
Emiya explained the Nen cultivation method slowly, repeating it several times.
He observed their reactions as he spoke.
Mao listened with half-understanding.
Karin fell into deep thought.
Of the three, only Madam Pai truly understood his explanation.
Which made sense.
She was the adult.
Mao was still too young.
But given Mao's intelligence, he would understand sooner or later.
Over the next few days, Emiya stayed at the Kikaro Restaurant.
He taught Nen to Mao, Karin, and Madam Pai.
At the same time, he worked on developing his own Nen ability.
After careful consideration, Emiya finalized a plan.
He would create a Nen beast.
A powerful one.
A Nen beast was an independent entity summoned by a Nen user.
Most Nen types could create Nen beasts.
But suitability varied greatly.
Enhancers, for example, strengthened their own bodies or weapons.
Their greatest advantage lay in direct offense and defense.
Splitting Aura to create a Nen beast would weaken that advantage.
So Enhancers weren't suited for it.
The same applied to Transmuters.
They altered the properties of their Aura, turning it into electricity, lightning, and the like.
Their power was strongest when Aura remained connected to their bodies.
Once separated, it weakened drastically.
So Transmuters weren't ideal either.
The Nen types best suited for Nen beasts were Manipulators, Emitters, and Conjurers.
Although Emiya was a Specialist, he reacted to all five Nen types.
Creating a Nen beast was entirely possible.
A Nen beast could take any form.
Human.
Animal.
Monster.
Something that didn't exist at all.
Depending on the user, it could speak, think independently, or possess special abilities.
After careful thought, Emiya made his decision.
He would combine Fantasy Creation with Conjuration.
He would create a terrifying Nen beast.
The Dragon of Greed.
He planned to grant it several abilities.
Iron Wall.
Healing.
Physical Resistance.
Magic Resistance.
Status Ailment Resistance.
And most importantly-
Life Drain.
This was the core.
Life Drain was a skill Emiya learned from the lich Wiz.
It drained life and mana from enemies.
It could also share Emiya's own life and mana with others.
With Life Drain at its core, the Dragon of Greed would be able to siphon vitality from enemies to strengthen Emiya.
It could also share Emiya's life force with others.
Those who received it could recover from any injury.
They could regrow lost limbs.
They could even be brought back from death.
Of course, this was the ideal outcome.
Whether it could actually be achieved was still unknown.
But Emiya would work toward it.
Nen made the impossible possible.
And if it succeeded, Emiya would gain a means of resurrection.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
During that time, Emiya ate Madam Pai's cooking every day.
She treated her son's master with extreme care.
Every meal was different.
Magical Mapo Tofu.
Kikuka Sauce.
Spicy Chicken Strips.
Spicy Rabbit Heads.
Golden Fried Rice.
None used rare ingredients.
Yet every dish made Emiya want more.
Madam Pai was truly Madam Pai.
Emiya was completely convinced.
With skill like this, even Gin Dōjima and the others couldn't compare.
After all, the Cooking Master Boy world wasn't realistic.
Food Wars dishes didn't glow.
Madam Pai's dishes did.
That was the difference.
At one point, Emiya suddenly thought of Erina Nakiri.
As his personal chef, her skills were excellent.
But compared to Madam Pai, she was still a beginner.
They weren't even on the same level.
So Emiya made a decision.
"Madam Pai."
After finishing a meal one day, Emiya spoke as she cleaned up.
She turned around.
"Yes, Mr. Emiya?"
"To be honest, I have a personal chef," Emiya said. "Her skills are good, but far from yours."
"I was wondering if I could bring her here for you to guide her."
Madam Pai thought it would be something serious.
Instead, it was a small request.
She smiled.
"It's my honor that you think so highly of me."
"Please bring her here. I'll teach her everything I know."
"I won't hold anything back."
Emiya clapped his hands.
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll be right back."
With that, he traveled to the DanMachi world.
He arrived at the Goddess' Feast.
It was noon.
The restaurant was packed.
Emiya entered the kitchen.
Gin Dōjima and the others were working nonstop.
Erina Nakiri and her secretary, Hisako Arato, were chopping vegetables.
What surprised Emiya was something else.
He could sense Nen.
From Erina.
In such a short time, she had already learned it.
Not just her.
Gin Dōjima and the others had learned Nen as well.
That was impressive.
"Erina," Emiya called.
She looked up.
"Lord Emiya? Why are you here?"
"I met an incredible chef in another world," Emiya said. "I want to take you there to learn from her."
Jōichirō Yukihira, who was stir-frying nearby, brightened.
He turned immediately.
"Oh? Lord Emiya, how incredible?"
"Thinking of competing?" Emiya asked.
Jōichirō didn't deny it.
Instead, he answered seriously.
"You don't get chances like that often."
Emiya thought for a moment.
"Then I'll wait outside until lunch is over."
"I'll take you there afterward."
"So you can see for yourself."
"With Madam Pai's skill, crushing everyone here wouldn't be a problem.
After all-
Food Wars dishes don't glow.
Hers do."
