I Am Tired Of Being A Hero-Chapter 205: Hot pot

The good thing is that his car did not crash. After the interview with the Head of the Admission Department, an interview that sounded more like an interrogation than an interview, they left the building to see Sage leaning on the car waiting for them.

Lana was sitting inside, helping herself to one of the sandwiches.

Sage grinned, "So, how is our First ranked student? Is it just me or can you see a gold crown on his head, Lana?"

"Don’t exaggerate." Asher sulked as he entered the car, avoiding Sage’s patting.

Sage’s hand hung in the air and he looked at Ravi, "What is wrong with him? Teenage angst?"

Ravi’s lips twitched, "Something like that. Ash, don’t transfer your aggression to Sage." Keep it for the 12-year-old girl. But he did not say the words outright or Ash might explode.

He had never seen him sulk like this before. It was not bad, rivals, rivals are a good thing. Besides the reason Elene had not fought for the first rank might not be because she was looking down on Arlen.

He recalled the file that he had been given in the Admission offer. The tuition fee was 20,000 dollars and that was just for the Academic courses, C and D courses, combat and defences for the semester was 15,0000, there were Admission fees, health services, fees, books and materials, Mentorship, uniform, virtual technology, and campus development fees, Everything was approximate, 67,000 dollars for a semester.

Sure he could get the money but there was no joy like the joy that the money was wiped clean. Of course, for Asher to maintain this scholarship, he could not drop out of the first five ranks during his period in this school.

For the Crane family, the money was no big deal, perhaps that was the reason that Elene had chosen, he should probably not read much into the thoughts of children.

"Everyone settled in. Sage, check for the nearest Hot Pot restaurant with good ratings."

"Oh! Hotpot and I was afraid you would not even put the AC in so you can save costs after seeing the fees but Yippee!"

Asher blinked, he had not been in the office and he had not read the file the man had passed to Ravi.

"Are the fees very expensive?"

"You do not have to worry. As the first-ranked student, you are on a scholarship for this term. You do not have to pay any fees." Lana said she had been so bored that she had picked up the school’s handbook for some light reading, "And if you maintain a position on the first five ranking in your grade, you would continue the scholarship you graduate. It is a very good deal."

Ravi turned to the mirror to see the expression on Asher’s face had changed from disgruntled to thoughtful. His lips twitched and he continued driving, passing the gate. As they drove, they could see various kinds of helicopters and other flying machines taking off.

"Oohhh! This is really a school for the rich. Imagine flying to and from school, that is just amazing."

"A lot of them would purchase a flat in Alstria or they would stay in the school dorms. The reason why this location was chosen for the branch school is due to the extensive grounds. The dorms are enough for all the students and the teachers. If the interview is successful, I would be offered a teacher lodge." Seeing Sage looking at her, Lana explained a little more, "It is a two-bedroom flat with a living room and a kitchen."

"You are not planning on staying there, are you?" Sage asked, although his voice was the very picture of indifference, Ravi could detect an undertone of worry.

"They do offer free food."

"Ravi offers free food as well." freёnovelkiss.com

Free food, Ravi wanted to bite back but the teenager’s words were true. He thought about it, once Lana started earning, he could...No, she would be in charge of driving Asher to school and looking after him. That is already unpaid labour. Then, he could just bill Malik weekly for their food.

Free food, him?

"That is not true. It never happened." Asher said hotly to Sage who was laughing. What were the two of them arguing about now?

"We are here. Get down."

Alstria was different from the small Davenport town, even their hotpot restaurants were so glamorous. An entire two-story building for hotpot.

"Hello, Welcome to Zong Hotpot. Do you have a reservation?"

"No."

The man at the counter nodded with a smile and clicked on the system, "If you can wait five minutes. A room would open up. Just the four of you, correct?"

Ravi just hoped that the food was worth this five-minute wait. He was forced to swallow his words when they were ushered into the room.

Just the view made his hands itch, painting here would be an experience. The air from the open balcony flew in unrestrained, the walls were adorned with intricate calligraphy and beautiful artwork.

The menu was bound in bamboo covers and adorned with intricate knots.

"The bill would definitely be as large as this menu," Sage noted and Asher nodded in turn.

"Just enjoy the meal. Don’t think about the money."

The three of them stared at him. Sage swallowed and moved closer to Lana, not at all whispering, "Did the tales say anything about that dead warlord possessing people?"

Ravi rolled his eyes and sat down. Aren’t they being too dramatic? The servers soon started coming in and in five minutes, their table was filled. The dry dipping ingredients were crushed peanuts, sesame powder, pepper, chill powder and there were over five dipping sauces. There were trays with meat rolls, beef rolls, spicy beef, coriander balls, quail eggs, tenderion, and fish filet. There were also fish balls, crab stocks, tripes, loin slices and all kinds of fresh vegetables. The mushrooms alone had a separate tray.

The moment the server lit the fire under the pot, a hot, spicy, fragrant scent immediately emerged and filled the room. The four of them gulped at the exact time.
