Became the middle boss’s childhood friend (150)
As the environment is created using 4-level dark element magic, the darkness that covers the classroom is special.
It is nearly impossible to completely drive out darkness with Light, a first-level elemental magic of light.
Students had no choice but to compromise on their own level and brighten their surroundings appropriately.
On the one hand, the light source had to be maintained in order to conduct the test smoothly in complete darkness.
‘Besides, the state of darkness changes frequently.’
Once activated, Light can be used permanently until the mana is consumed, at the initial value set by the spell.
The duration could be extended by replenishing mana along the way.
As a result, there was no significant burden on the caster’s control ability.
But in the darkness of the classroom, it was a different story.
The darkness embodied by Hong Yena fluctuated depending on location, time, and various other conditions.
For example, the density of darkness increases or the amount of light disappears.
In the end, there were limitations in responding with lights with fixed settings, so students had to manually control the magic to take the test.
It was bound to be a considerable burden for them.
Of course, that was what she meant.
‘The foundation is important in everything, and the foundation of light element magic is light. However, you should not get caught up in the pride that you have become the second level, and neglect Light without knowing that you are a frog tadpole. ‘Light is not simply a magic to pass through to move to the next level.
The magic of recognizing shapeless light and giving it shape, converting mana into photons to create a light source, and controlling brightness by the amount of light should not be simply accepted.
You cannot succeed as a magician if you set limits on your own thinking.
We must endlessly explore and understand what light is.
Only then will you be able to learn the many tricks of light elemental magic that will spread based on light.
That was Hong Yena’s theory.
‘Among the affinity attributes, how rare are darkness and light? Should I just use the attributes I’ve been working so hard to possess in a way that only scratches the surface?’
About half a month has passed since I first started class.
Yena Hong felt like she wanted to stab any student in the back who still didn’t realize the importance of lights.
Fortunately, the students were only embarrassed at first and seemed to adapt to the situation.
But her intention was not just one.
‘It is difficult to regard light as only visible light.’
In a broad sense, light has a wavelength and refers to an electromagnetic wave that has duality as a wave and a particle.
In a narrow sense, that is, visible light, commonly recognized as light in everyday life, is a type of electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of about 400 nm to 700 nm.
Therefore, light can be broadly understood by approaching it from the perspective of wavelength.
The reason Hong Yena spent so much time in the material corner was to figure it out.
A student who had taken the class properly would have been able to recognize and deal with the fact that light is an electromagnetic wave.
By giving wavelength properties to light, it may be possible to change the color of light.
Change it to red, which has a longer wavelength, or change it to violet, which has a shorter wavelength.
‘Light can be broadly divided into three primary colors: red, green, and blue by human cone cells. Through that, you can combine it with various colors.’
Light that is complementary to each other forms white, that is, an achromatic color.
The process of selecting fresh ingredients can be said to be a test of understanding the wavelength of light and the three primary colors and asking whether you can combine achromatic colors.
Meanwhile, making designated foods was also part of the test.
“uh? what? “Why doesn’t the light come on?”
“Aren’t you coming too? “I’m not coming out either.”
“Instructor! “I think the gas was cut off!”
“of course. “Because I turned off the gas.”
“… .”
“It won’t be a problem on the test, so everyone can solve it on their own.”
Slowly, people were appearing who wanted to start cooking.
Naturally, without exception, they expressed doubts about the gas stove not working.
Whether their faces became mysterious or not, Hong Yena did not pay any attention to them.
‘Light isn’t just dazzling. Since light is an electromagnetic wave, it has no choice but to generate heat energy, i.e. radiant heat, during the emission process.’
The area mainly dealt with in 2nd and 3rd level light element magic is radiant heat.
Yena Hong hoped that students would remember that and apply it to cooking.
Therefore, the menu is designed around foods where heat control is important.
‘Anyone who paid attention to the precautions would have roughly figured it out. The purpose of cooking is to evaluate how delicately radiant heat can be controlled.’
Omelettes and golden fried rice are traditional foods that give a glimpse of the chef’s skill in controlling heat.
Delicate heat control was required to cook the omelette gently throughout and to cook the egg water evenly across the rice grains of the golden fried rice.
The same goes for fried foods such as pork cutlets, which only add depth to the taste if they are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
The same principle applies to steak and sautéed onions, which require Maillard reaction and caramelization.
In the case of curry, one had to be careful about the order of frying the vegetables so as not to burn them.
Other foods were also intended as problems for evaluating radiant heat control.
The last thing Hong Yena asks for is… .
‘It’s not the end just because you made the food. The ability to express it prominently is also an evaluation factor.’
Brightness is relative.
Just as light and darkness cannot help but coexist, in order for some places to become bright, some places must inevitably become dark.
The opposite is also true.
Such relativity affects vision, creating a sense of space that feels wider or narrower, lower or higher.
It can also be said to give an optical illusion.
This is why magic that deals with illusions is compatible with elemental magic of light and darkness.
Therefore, students had to pay attention to the sense of space and illuminate the booths where food would be served in order to receive high scores.
‘Light changes color depending on the wavelength, and radiant heat changes depending on the color. It’s called color temperature. For example, using white lighting at 5000 Kelvin (K) can create a lively atmosphere… .’How to create a booth with color temperature to give depth to the space and create an atmosphere.

How appetizing will you make the food look?
Yena Hong expected students to have a comprehensive sense of how to handle light.
Crash!
It was then that I heard the sound of something being lightly cut with a knife.
Hong Yena, who was observing the students struggling at the kitchen counter, turned her head.
Dogyeonwoo was there.
‘What is he making?’
Do Gyeon-woo chopping green onions on a cutting board with a light floating in the air.
He did not look at the recipe along the way and was acting without hesitation.
It was proof of his confidence that he had some cooking experience.
Hong Yena showed interest in him and approached him.
‘I only chose very expensive ingredients… . Are you trying to make seafood ramen?’
Look at the ingredients placed on the counter.
Hong Yena could tell the food Do Gyeon-woo was making.
It seemed like the bottom trimming was finished by then.
He boiled water to make broth from seafood and began to stir-fry chopped vegetables.
Her eyes narrowed as she watched him cook with radiant heat.
‘There is no problem in controlling the amount of light and energy. I am operating it in compliance with the appropriate range taught in class. Lighting up the darkness with a light, and doing two things at the same time… .’I don’t know who taught him, but his skills are extraordinary.
As of now, it’s perfect.
I almost want to know who my teacher is.
Hong Yena praised herself and swallowed her saliva.
Not only the smell of seafood, but also the skillful cooking process that secretly stimulated my appetite.
‘Now that I think about it, he’s been making ramen amazingly well for a long time.’
If he wasn’t from the Shingeom Taoist school, I recognized Do Gyeon-woo’s ramen skills to the point where I would have mistaken him for someone from a ramen restaurant.
Hong Yena, who had once tasted his ramen, couldn’t help but salivate.
‘On the outside, it looks like he lived from a famous family and ate whatever was given to him without even looking at a drop of water on his hands. It’s surprising that he was able to cook ramen so well.’
Among the hunters currently active, there is Seol Ji-yu-ran.
She has the nickname of a magic spear expert, and although she has a tendency to cheat and gamble, her spear skills are considered top-tier in the industry.
He also had a reputation for his skills in making noodle dishes, including ramen.
In some quarters, he is revered as the god of noodle dishes.
‘I’m looking forward to how delicious it will be… .’
It may not be comparable to Seol Ji-yu, but the ramen that Do Gyeon-woo cooks is probably no better.
It will be very delicious.
Hong Yena was excited and looked forward to his ramen being finished.
* * *
If you cannot use fire, you can use the radiant heat of light instead.
After realizing Hong Yena’s intention for the exam, I immediately lit the fire with second-level light elemental magic.
‘The temperature is enough for now.’
According to the precautions written on the notice, this is a test where fire control is key.
I cooked food paying attention to the temperature of the radiant heat.
The hands making the ramen were unstoppable.
It was a dish I was very confident in.
‘In my past life, how many times did I cook and eat while I was alone?’
When did you only boil it when you were sleeping alone?
Even when I lived in an orphanage and with parents who abandoned me, I cooked and ate ramen.
Because I did not receive their affection, I often had to prepare my own meals.
‘When I look back, in my past life, I lived almost exclusively on ramen… .’
Maybe that’s why I, who was reincarnated in this world, enjoy exploring restaurants as a hobby.
There are so many delicious foods in the world, but wouldn’t it be a shame to only eat ramen?
As I live my current life, I plan to continue to enjoy and experience a variety of foods.
‘That way it’s fun to see how Haneul will react.’
As a childhood friend, it’s an embarrassing fact, but I still didn’t know how many facial expressions Yeon Ha-neul could make.
It was subtle but clearly different.
As a result, I was often surprised when I saw an unfamiliar face on her.
I wonder if the day will come when I will know everything about her.
My childhood friend, Yeon Ha-neul, was such a difficult, amazing, and new and interesting being every day.
‘It would be nice if the sky could taste it too…’ .’
Before we knew it, the dish was finished.
I put the food on a tray and found a booth on the other side.
There happened to be one empty booth.
‘If you want to make the color of seafood stand out, wouldn’t it be better to produce it with a color temperature of over 5000K?’
Putting the tray down on the table, I snapped my fingers and opened the light.
By setting the light temperature to the desired value, the food is illuminated beautifully.
Then, the darkness of the booth was illuminated and a cozy atmosphere was created to create a sense of space.
The steaming seafood ramen, grilled dumplings, and glossy white rice couldn’t help but look really appetizing.
“Witch, I’m done.”
“Yes, I paid close attention.”
“Let’s try it.”
“What is it? What is it? What is it?” .”
As soon as I raised my hand, Yena Hong came right away as if she had been waiting.
She looked at the booth from outside, then came inside and looked at the food.
She took wooden chopsticks.
Slurp.
“how is it?”
Suuuup.
“Witch?”
“Can you please not talk to me while I’m eating?”
Hong Yena sips the noodles, even though they are hot, and carefully lifts the pot to drink the soup.
I even cut the fried dumplings in half and put them in my mouth one by one.
I blinked at her, concentrating on eating her food.
“Do you have any kimchi?”
“It’s not even on the menu, so it can’t be there.”
“ah. “It’s a shame.”
“But witch, what are you doing now?”
“What to do. Don’t eat rice. Actually, cold rice is the truth for ramen… .”
“Didn’t the witch teach you that the truth is not something to be said easily? Also, I will have to eat food prepared by other people. Is that okay?”
“… ah.”
“… .”
Why is this witch like this?
I sat down and looked at Hong Yena, who was munching on rice soaked in ramen soup.
She must have realized her duty belatedly, and got up in a humble manner.
“Hmm! I ate well. “It’s pretty delicious.”
“It doesn’t matter, but it seems like you really enjoy it… . Would you like me to boil it again next time?”
“… “I’m not going to do it for free, so what do you want?”
“Please give me good grades. “Extra points too.”
“Ha, I knew that… .”
“So what are my test scores?”
“… There is no doubt about your sense of understanding and handling light. “It’s perfect.”
It was rewarding to prepare so hard for the exam.
I cried out in joy.
At that time, Hong Yena wiped her mouth and turned around.
“Then I have to evaluate other people’s grades, so I’ll go. “You should quickly leave the booth for the next person.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Don’t leave just because the exam is over. “Please clean up the countertop you used before leaving.”
After finishing what she had to say, Hong Yena leaves.
After seeing her off for a moment at the booth, I decided to step back to give up my seat to the person behind me.
‘I have a lot of food to make, so I guess I’ll just eat that and do the dishes.’
It’s ramen I made, but I feel bad about leaving it like this without being able to eat it.
I decided to finish off the remaining ramen as soon as I got back to the kitchen counter.
There may be a few fried dumplings left.
I decided to fill my stomach and walked to the kitchen… .
“… “Why are you here?”
“Yam?”
Slurp!
“… .”
Cha Eunsol, who wasn’t even attending class, was eating the ramen I made.
She tilted her head with her noodle in her mouth and swallowed it with extraordinary suction power.
Soon she answered my question.
“I was on my way back after the exam when I smelled something delicious. “Yum yum.”
“so?”
“So, yum… . I followed the smell and found ramen and fried dumplings here. Oh, and rice too.”
“Are you a dog? “Smell it.”
“In my next life, I want to be born as a pet pig… Just think of it as a pig. I am a pig. “Gulp.”
“What is he saying now?”
“Yum.”
Cha Eunsol responds with a calm expression and takes a sip of the soup.
Having given up trying to distract her, I sighed and sat down across from her.
I asked after seeing her resting her chin and eating ramen as if she was going to empty the floor.
“I made that.”
“Yum. “Well done.”
“Is it delicious?”
“huh.”
“I’m glad it tastes good. “Okay, enjoy it all.”
“Yum. thank you.”
Cha Eun-sol is a very fortunate person who eats.
As I was watching her eating show, all thoughts of eating disappeared.
Meanwhile, she continued to eat her food, ignoring my gaze.
The puffy cheeks were constantly moving as I put the fried dumplings in my mouth.
“Instead of just eating it like that, why don’t you tell the person who made it how delicious it is? “I couldn’t even eat it because of you.”
After swallowing, Cha Eunsol pushed the food in her mouth down her throat and spoke.
“The unique flavor of seafood is rich because the broth is made with king crab, clams, and various other seafood. However, it is not fishy at all, and the spicy and refreshing taste is in perfect harmony. It’s a shame that the noodles puffed up over time, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea to eat noodles that have absorbed the soup. Above all, when you eat ramen, at some point you feel like you are naked in the sea… .”
“Okay, stop it. I’m sorry. “Don’t say anything strange or weird, just eat.”
“Yes, Mimi. Yum… .”
Slurp!
I suddenly silenced Cha Eun-sol, who was going on a tirade with sparkling green eyes.
She nodded as if she had never done that before.
Eventually, she drank the ramen broth neatly and emptied the bowl.
“It was delicious. Please do it again next time. I’m going to go now… .”
“Where are you going?”
“huh?”
Cha Eun-sol naturally tries to run away.
I quickly grabbed her arm to prevent her from running away.
Then he put rubber gloves and a scrub brush in her hands.
Her voice trembled.
“This… what… ?”
“What can I do?”
“… .”
“After eating, I have to wash the dishes. “Where does he want to leave it to me?”
“ah… .”
“Make sure you wash the dishes thoroughly, even the dishes in the sink. Since sincerity is important, you know you shouldn’t borrow the power of spirits, right? “Other people are taking the test, and it could affect the mana environment.”
“Do you really have to do this?”
“Yes, you really have to. “Be sure to throw away the food waste after you’re done.”
“… .”
Cha Eun-sol is mostly expressionless except when she is faithful to her own desires.
A darkness fell on her face.
His shoulders were shaking, and his green eyes were shaking.
In the end, that day, she had to pay for what she ate.
“If you work, you lose weight…” .”
“Good thing you lost weight.”
“… you don’t know anything “It was bad.”
